vention will undoubtedly pass it.
Yates and Deneen have it and at this
hour they are said to be almost con
verified s
Speaker J. G. Cannon, in an in
terview said that he looks for a nom
nation to-day. 'The release of the
delegates he said will allow them
to vote for a second choice, and If
that fails, to nominate, then for a
third or fourth. Ii no success is then
had it can go to the great body of pee
pie of the State and make a selec-
ton.
The speaker was presented with q
large bunch of flowers just before tie
convention met by Mrs. Mary T. Ha-
ger, of the ladies of the G.. A. r., Chi
cago.
The convention was called to order
at lO:2O o'clock. Walter Reeves,
chairman Of the resolution committee,
reported from that committee a SUB.
stitute for the resolution referred

liar to the original and after reciting

structions and obligations and orders

recommendation that the resolution
pass was unanimous from the commit
tee. r

pressed their willingness to release
their delegates.
Chairman Cannon then asked fos
five minutes, saying that he had re
ceived one vote for Governor and
Mr.. Reeves said that he would be glad
| to yield / 5 minutes. He said no great
measure had ever been effected with
out compromise. He said it was not
question Of one to be nominated but
when. He was willing to take service
under the leadership of any of a hun
bred who could be drafted into rum
ming for Governor.
Nominate any of these men, re
said. g but nominate one of them and
do it to-day!''

appeal the case to the courts, and if

grounds for doing SO. The men have

KEEPS AN EYE ON THE SITUATION
If Closing of Plants Of Beef Trust
Causes Public Distress Presi-
dent Will Interfere.

OYSTER BAY, July 20.-Tne pres-
dent enjoyed period of rest today
No visitors We're received at Saga
more. 1t was denied on authority to-
day that the president has sent a
secret agent to Chicago for the Dur-
pose of investigating the beef trust
strike. Secretary Loeb said:
The department of commerce al
ways sends men to the scenes of
strikes whenever they occur, and Of
course, it has it's agents in Chicago
Should the strike assume such pro-
portions that any great number of
people would be distressed, and should
it become evident that the contending
factions in the quarrel cannot reach
an agreement, it is more than prob
able that the president will take such
action as he did a year ago in the
anthracite coal strike.

while a high wind was blowing from
the west and before the flames could
be extinguished several business
houses We're destroyed.
The fire started in the rear of Dirs-

unknown cause, and within two min
utes after smoke was seen coming out
of the rear of the store the entire
building was enveloped in flames.
Comparatively nothing was saved
from the stock. The fire then spread
to Younce's meat market and the
dwelling of w. II. Panhorst on the
north, and destroyed them both. The
losses were: Dirstine Brothers, $4,000,

Meet Again.

MORE TALK OF ARBITRATION

CHICAGO. July 20.-With Ominous
clouds darkening the sky OF peace
representatives of the six large pack
ing houses went into consultation at
addressed to them Thursday by the
council of allied trades, VINO seek
further meeting to discuss arbitra-
ton. Meantime train loads of non
uinonists continue to arrive at the
wards to be distributed therein, with
out manifestation Of trouble other
than ieering from the bystanders.
The feeling today among labor peo-
ple is decidedly restless and the out
come of this mornings meeting OF
hackers is awaited with much anx-
iety. -. ';..: =
At II o'clock the packers sent the
unions a letter agreeing to meet the
representatives of the allied trades
this afternoon at the down town Of
fees of Swift at o'clock.
The agreement by the packers thus
again to meet with the union leaders
is interpreted variously. Ostensibly 1t
makes for future peace. President
Donnelly Of the Butchers union mas
been strongly urged to give up his
tenaciously held stand that all strik-
ers o,t be taken back pending arbi-
tration, but it is unlikely that he will
accede as he claims that the packers
have made no concessions whatever.
Remarkable peace conditions continue
to prevail at the yards, with only
sporadic cases of slight disturbances.
One of these occurred this morning
when a crowd attacked a negro on his
way to work. placed a rope about mis-
neck and started with him for tele-
phone pole when his rescue was eff
feCted by the police. The negro was
no. injured.

More Peaceful at St. Paul.

ST PAUL. July 20.-The strike sit
uation in South st. Paul today is more
peaceful than at any time since the
men went out. The picket blockade
at the entrance to Swift's plant was
entirely removed. though pickets sur
round the plant to prevent the sneak
ing in of strike breakers. Groups of
strikers congregated about the main
gate but no one was molested. This
was the result of a telegram from
President Donnelly. of Chicago, ad
vising the men of probable meeting
with the packers and cautioning them
against drastic measures pending the
outcome. The company made no eff
fort today to put non-union butchers
to work.

The Octogenarian as Spry as
a Boy Of Sixteen.
DISCUSS THE POLITICAL SITUATION
The Subject Of the Chairmanship Of
the National Committee Is
Considered.

ESOPUS, July 2O-Henry Gassa-
way Davis arrived from New York at
noon accompanied by his secretary
and National Committeeman Mack of
New York. who came along primarily
because Davis had never met Parker
and Mack effected an introduction.
The party was met by Secretary NC
Causland and the judges SON. in law,
Rev. Charles Mercer Hall and driven
to Rosemont Immediately. The sena-
tor seems as spry as a boy Of Is In
spite of his 81 years. He is here to
discuss thoroughly with Judge Park
er the craftsmanship and the political
situation. and before he leaves some-
thing like definite plan Of campaign
will have been mapped out. Sheehan
is not expected back from New YORK;
until tomorrow and it is said at Rose
mont that the possible developments
of the informal conference now in pro-
gress in the metropolis may keep him
there even longer. The failure Of
Senator German to accept the invita-
tion to visit Esopus along with Davis
is explained by the statement that It
would not become him to do so as
long as he is a candidate for the
craftsmanship.

LONDON, July 20-That Great
Britain will make imperative demands
IN regard to the Russian right of
search, was today considered beyond
discussion. The orders issued to the
Mediterranean fleet are still carefully
guarded, but the newspapers argue
that the Malacca never will reach a
Russian port. The German attitude
is a puzzle to British statesmen. The
stock market is lowering about the
storm mark again today. The slump
of yesterday in high class issues was
further accentuated today. Turkish
bonds slumped to 81 and both Jap
anese and Russian bonds fell off a
quarter.
