MESSENGERS AND DooRKEEPERs


Intense Rivalry Between Competitors
 for Convention Appointments.
 The rivalry for the appointments as messengers and doorkeepers of the con- ,st;tutional convention is very keen and ever since the convention placed the power of appointment in the hands of the comptroller yesterday that official has been vigorously pursued by the friends of the candidates.
 To meet the demands for to-day's ses- sion he appointed three messengers and two doorkeepers who officiated to-day three republicans and two democrats. The messengers are David B. Mansfield of Harwinton, W. c. Daily of Cheshire, republicans, and Charles F. Koenfg of Hartford democrat The doorkeepers are Lorrin A. Waldo of Hebron, repub- lcan. and Thomas F. Fogarty of Wind sor Locks, democrat.
 Both political parties are recognized in the appointments above named, and all the appointments will be equally di- vided politically, five democrats and five republicans.
 These additional appointments were announced this afternoon:

Hartford, Jan. 2.-The constitutional convention proceedings opened this morning with prayer by the Rev, c. IT. Smith of Plymouth, a delegate.
 The committee appointed to form rules and order reported through MT, Warner of Salisbury, it's chairman, a set of rules and order of procedure similar to the parliamentary usage fol- lowed by legislative bodies. It is pro- vided that a majority shall constitute a quorum.
 MT. Warner, in speaking of the re- port, said that the committee had fol- lowed the precedent laid down by the convention of ISIS as closely as possi- ble. One change was to the effect that the presiding officer may vote upon a ballot and another that a journal shall be kept by the clerk and printed cop ies distributed each day. It is also stipulated that there shall be no sus- pension of rules except by a two thirds vote.
 After some discussion MT. Milner of Plainfield moved that the rules be tabled for printing that they might be more closely studied. The motion was carried by vote of 104 to IS.

FEATURES OF J. R. MCLEAN
 MARKET I, LETTER.

| MAILhEI IEI ILIt. ! New York, Jan. 2.--A strong market l to-day. The Readings, St. Paul. Union 1 Pacific, Atchison, Erie and the Steel | stocks-all stocks we have advised customers to buy for three weeks past were particularly buoyant and we'll supported. Outsiders are at last walk ing up to the situation. Good commis- sion house buying to-day, and prices ought to advance still further tomor- row, after which fractional declines would be in order, but these stocks can be safely purchased on moderate de- clines. If anything, the market looks even stronger than it did one year ago, and the ease with which prices were marked up to-day is the best evidence in the world as to the fact that securi- ties are lodged in strong hands, and prices will not be allowed to decline to any great extent.
 It looks now as though the real movement in the Steel stocks has be- gun, and we confidently look to see these issues lead the coming bull mar ket.
 Union Pacific also bids fair to be one of the features during the next few days. We strongly advise it's purchase immediately and holding for large profits. We hear Copper is a purchase for a four or five point advance this week, and that Sugar is if anything short sale especially if it goes up.
 Chicago: There was osme profit talk ing early in the session to- day, but later prices became very hard, with wheat closing at practically the high points on this movement. It certainly does not look as though the top has yet been reached, especially in wheat, while corn holds steady and continues in good demand

because Of the fact that the Republican
party once secured free homes for Okla
homa people it is to this party that the
people of Comanche county are looking
for aid in this matter Mr.. MCGUIRE in
this county. when talking Of the free
homes situation, stated that he could not
promise free homes. but that If allowed
to represent the people Of Oklahoma in
congress, he would do all in mis- power
TO secure free homes for the farmers in
the new country. He stated that he be-
heved that such a thing could be done
owing 10 the fact that a precedent had
been established. This is another reason
why Mr.. Mcclure viii receive Democratic
support in this county and also causes
predictions that he win receive q ma
jority in this county.
All clements Of the Republican party in
Comanche are working tremendously for
party success. There is a difference of
opinion between the northern and south
ern Democrats who have settled here.
The southern ideas Of Democracy are en-
tirely different from those Of the Demo-
Gratis from the north The northern
Democrats have been referred to repeat
edly by southern men as bread and but
ter" Democrats and this has not brought
the two elements close together. Many
northern Democrats have stated that they
VIII vote the Republican ticket this fall,
believing that the ideas advocated by the
party is more in line with their views
than those advocated by their own party
in this portion of the territory. The Pop
ulist who settled here whether he be
from Kansas or Oklahoma, is not very
much in sympathy with Democracy. While
Democrats are expecting to capture Pop
ulist votes, yet the methods adopted have
not been conducive to good in this respect.
The Populistic IS free thinker and he
is going to be lined UP with the party,
which in his estimation viii bring the
most good to him and his neighbors.

The speaker next described the army
called forth by President Mckinley FOL
the Spanish war, and contrasted with it
the army called forth BY Grover Cleve-
land-Coxey's army. He then asked il
any reasoning man would exchange the
good times Of the Republican administra-
tons for the hard times of Democratic
control Of the country's affairs. The last
Democratic administration had left an
empty treasury. whereas today the f.
nances were in splendid shape and our
bonds sold al a high premium in the mar
kets Of the world
In regard 10 the trusts Mr. Flynn said
that congress authorized no corporation

Republican party. A bill providing for an

government control of the corporations
had received the vote OF all of the Re
Lblican members OF the house except
two, and every Democrat in the house
e cept two voted against il. The govern
n.ent had already interfered and brought
suit in the cases of the Northern Secu-
rity company under the Sherman law
II regard TO the coal strike, Mr.. Flynn
said every party regretted il. II was not
a question OF party. bit was used by
Dc maSogues against the Republican party
because that party was in power. Il was
a crying shame that the needs OF the
poor should be employed as a party wea-
on, yet he had noticed that in all the eff

leading Democrat had taken part. Pier
Mt Morgan. who perhaps had the power

President Baer Of the Philadelphia and
Reading railroad, had declared himself 20
be Jefersonian Democrat. An inteln
sent people would rot believe the mis-

Democracy.
Mr.. Flynn then referred to Senate

POTTER PALMER DEAD,

CHICAGO, May 4.-Potter Palmer,
for nearly half a century one of Chica-
COS most prominent business men died
tonight at hs residence on Lake Shore
drive. The exact cause of Mr.. Palmer's
death has not yet been determined. He
had been suffering for several days
from nervous disorder, but as he
was able to be about the house, his
condition was not thought to be seri-
Gus.
When he retired last night he was
feeling, if anything, better than for sew
eral days During the night, however.
he seemed to lose all his energy. and
this morning was unable to leave his
room, He gradually grew weaker dur
ing the day and at $40 o'clock this
evening he suffered a sudden collapse,
from which he expired. The physicians
who were attending Mr.. Palmer are at
loss as to the ultimate cause of his
death, as apparently he had no organic
troubles Mrs. Palmer and their two
sons, Honore and Potter Jr., were with
Mr., Palmer when he died.
NO arrangements have yet been made
Tor the funeral but I'm all probability
he VIII be buried in Chicago, where he
accumulated his fortune.

FASTEST IN WORLD
NEW TRAIN BETWEEN NEW
YORK AND CHICAGO.
VIII Make a Continuous Speed of 5444
Miles an Hour-Time Cut Down Six
Hours

NEW YORK, May 7.-America will
have the fastest lOng-distance train in
the world and the fastest regular train
for any distance when the plans of the
New York Central and Lake Shore
management are carried into effect.
1t will mean the shortening of six
hours in the running time to Chicago
practically bringing the two cities 300
miles nearer in point of time. The
speed will be 54.44 miles an hour. With
out counting stops the speed will aver
age sixty miles, and by connection
with a fast train of the Big Four Rail-
way at Cleveland several hours will be
saved between New York and st.
Louis. The New York Central, Lake
Shore and Big Four are all Wander
bilt roads.
When the Empire State express was
put on it was believed to be the fastest
train in the world. Afterward it was
found that the Sud express, on the
Midi Railroad between Paris and Bor-
deauX, was faster-at least, according
to its schedule. The Sud express made
the distance, 1856 miles at an average
rate of Sab miles an hour, while the
running time Of the Empire State ex-
press for 44O miles from New York TO
Buffalo, is 1888 miles an hour. 1t was
