Springfield, Ill, May 1S.-The repub- lican state convention spen tanother day in eruitless balloting and there Is not the least indication of a break in the deadlock anywhere along the line
 Lawrence Y. Sherman's followers to- day continued to vote with Deneen, but the Cook county candidate developed no additional strength and his non1ina- ton was no nearer consunmation when the convention recessed tonight than it was last night
 Governor Yates followers remained firm to-day and cemeted their agree sment to stand by the governor to the end
 The governor made a speech in which he intinated that he would be willing Ito have the gubernatorial proposition referred. primary election to be held on the same day throughout the state. The plan is one of a hundred which have been suggested.
 Nine ballots were taken to-day and the last one did not show any material change, Governor Yates maintaining his lead.
 The convention will meet again at 10 o'clock tomorrow morningaand the in- dications are that the balloting will be a practical repetition of the proceedings to-day.

MAY RECALL AMBASSADOR.
French Government Circles Discussing
 Pope's Recent Protest.

Paris May 1S.--Government circles are seriously considering whether the popes protest against President Lou bets visit to Rome should not be promptly followed by the recall of M. Nisard, the French ambassador to the vatican. The determination of this will be dependent upon Foreign Minister Delcasse's ability to calm the indigna tion aroused among the various ele- ments in the Chamber of Deputies against the papal protest. These ele- ments, headed by the socialists, insist on bringing the vatican controversy to an issue, and it is expected that the subject will cause a violent debate in the chamber M Delcasse will urge moderation, but owing to the bitterness Of the feeling aroused the government may be compelled to recall M. Nisard, or take other decisive action. The par- liamentary leaders are discussing a number of plans, including the abolition of the embassy to the vatican and the denunciation of the concordat. The commission on the abolition of the con- cordat went over the subject lengthily this afternoon, but did not arrive at a decision. Heretofore M Delcasse's stand against abolishing the vatican embassy has proved decisive, but owing to the present agitation the government leaders fear his counsels of moderation will not prevail.

"STAND PAT" MEN WIN
 LONG FIGHT IN IOWA
RESOLUTIONS HAVE NO ExPRES-
 SION TOR TARIFF REVISION.

Of the Twenty-six Delegates Chosen Six
 Only Are LiberaIs--The Platform De- ciares That it Is ssUnwise to Seek Mar
 kcts Abroad by Sacrificing some Parts of the Market at Home" Des Moines, Ia, May 1S.-Iowa's long flight between "stand-pat" republicans and liberals upon the issue of tariff re- vision and reciprocity ended in a com
 plete victory for the former in to-day's state convention for sending delegates to the national convention. Of twenty six delegates chosen twenty are stand
 patters' and only six are liberals. The
 resolution adopted contain no sentiment whatever in favor of tariff revision, but declare that protective principles found their high fulfillment" in the EDingley law. As to reciprocity, the platform declares that 1t is sunwise to seek markets abroad by sacrificing some parts of the markets at home" The convention was unanimous in naming it's delegates and adopting it's platform but the committee on resolu- ttions disagreed in the recommendations A minority of three, headed by former l,Congressman George c. Perkins, stood for a liberal plank declaring for reci- Iprocity that would increase following markets without harming American in dustry, and suggested that the republi- can party can be depended on to revise the tariff whenever necessary. This minority refused to accede to the plat form of the majority os to the tariff, and so reported to the convention. Secretary Shaw In a speech declared that the chief issue of the campaign ! this year would be the democratic claim that American goods are sold cheaper
 abroad than at home. MT. Shaw said that while this was true, in a way, yet this claim could be proved only to about Eone-thirtieth of American goods sold
 abroad.
 When the committee on resolutions reported the convention quickly adopt
 ed it's platform without a dissenting voice and then adjourned. Lafayette Young read the platform and explained that a minority of three refused to con- cur on it's tariff plank.
 At the close of the convention the re- publican central committee called the second convention for nominating a state ticket, for July 20, in Des Moines. ! Representative Hepburn was elected temporary chairman.
 The resolutions endorse the adjust tment of the Alaskan boundary dispute, the work done in China praise Secre- tary Shaw and Secretary Wilson, en-
 dorse President Roosevelt, oppose trusts and praise the American navy.
