the following resolutions: I'VE favor
home rule for an early admission to
statehood of New Mexico. Arizona and
Oklahoma. 1t has been repudiated.
and republicans in congress have treated
it as joke. The republican excuse is
that the territories might become demo-
cratic with their six senators. The real
reason is that the corporation agents of
the republican party in the senate know
that as the principal business of the
new states is agricultural and mining.

Pittsburg, Pa. Sept. 9-While a
party Of twenty young girls bsthed
in the Monongahela River yesterday at
Port Vne some mlschievOus boys stole
their lingerie. Out In the river the
girls were having good time until
the boys called Jc them and held up
the familiar draperies, then disap-
peared over the hill.
Furious with rage and chilled by
the water the girls were compelled
to remain in the water for half an
hour until word was sent across the
river to McKeasport to the parents,
who had clothing taken to the victims.
The young women Immediately
went to the tin mill officials and
furnished the superintendent with the
names of the young men who partici-
pated in the Joke. The boys also
work at the tin house. The girls are

of the mill at Port Vue. and 1t Is

Zone very certain result OF the
political conferences that have been
held at Saratoga ana In New York,
within the last two weeks. Is that
David Bennett Hill has been eliml-
mated as q possible nominee OF the
Democratic party in the Presiden tial
campaign next year.
follticai careers are frequently
shaped by ap oarnetly trivial events,
and one of THIS caliber seems to have
been devised for the political undoing
of Mr.. Hill by the Tammany leaders.
Mr.. Hill has for years held rather
firm grasp upon the State organization
of the panty, and has been able to
WELD potent influence In such
matters as naming delegates TO
national conventions. and shaping
olicies and issues for the party. AS
q delegate at large to ths Democratic
national conventions he has been
Aooked to as q floor leader of the
organization. and, by reason OF such
honor, has been given uDquestioned
prominence in the party councils:
Now. according to the programme OF
the Tammany leaders. this consolation
and privilege is 10 be denied him.
It has teen decided. AZ result of the
recent conferences, that Mr.. Hill shall
not be allowed to go to the next con-
ventlon as delegate at-large.
although he may succeed in being
selected as a delegate from his Con
gresslOnal district.

cut any figure in the convention as
candidate for PRESIDENTIAL honors with

his State against him. II is true that
Mr.. Cleveland carried the convention in
1892 with his State against him. but
Hill IS not a Cleveland. He has no
support worth spea King OF outside his
own State. while IN 1899 the support OF
Mr. Cleveland in other States was
sufficient to force his nomination on
New York. Mr.. Hills candidacy for
the nomination next year bas always
been discussed more or less by Demo
Gratis throughout the country. but
there has been no enthusiasm for II.
Hacked by the undivided and hearty

he might be a strong candidate for the
nomination. Without this support. 1t
is doubtful If his name Will be pre-
sented to the convention. Tammany
is not in special favor with the Demo
Gratis of the country. but they realize
that the Democratic candidate, whoever
he may be, cannot we'll win in New
York without the support OF Tam
many. So avowed is the Tammany
opposition to Hill that it is announced
that Richard Croker will return from
Europe, IT necessary. to make a fight
against Hill representing the New
York Democracy IN the convention as
candidate at large. This. it would
seem, puts a permanent quietus on the
Hill aspirations. While tho conditions
in the Democratic ranks are such that
the convention may decide upon almost
any kind OF surprise for the country.
it is safe prediction that David b.
