very likely will be the strongest man that
the convention can nominate. We don {
DelleVe that we should load down Judge
Parker with the political hopes and as
plratlons OF any man or set of men. We
Deileve that in our minority report we
nave given reasons why, if conditions do
not change. he should be nominated by
the convention at st. Louis.
Senator Hill rose in the Albany del
egat1on amid wild cheering and sug-
geSted that the vote be taken by coun-
ties. This was agreed to. The New
York amendment was lost by vote of
149 ayes and 301 noes.
The platform as originally reported
was adopted by viva voce vote. The
list of delegates, alternates and elect
ors was read and adopted and the new
state committee was announced.
A resolution was adopted that the
state committee be authorized to fill
any vacancies that may occur in the
list OF presidential electors and electors
at large. Adjourned without day.
A new state committee was selected
and this committee will organize next
week with M. Y. Haven, of Syracuse, it
is understood, as chairman.
The contest in the committee OH
platform was very warm and the lie
was passed. Senator Grady led the op-
position to the proposition to instrucvt
for Parker. The committee, by a vote
of 20 to IL, with IL absentees, deter
mined to adopt a section instructing
for Parker for nominee.

CITY NEWS
FEARS EXECUTION
50 SHOOTS HIMSELF
John Schneider, Raw Recruit
Frightened by Practical Joke,
Puts Bullet i'm His Brain.

Unable to accommodate himself to
real and supposed army regulations
John Schneider, raw recruit, wan
dered away from Fort Smelling Sunday
evening, and on the banks Of the Min
nesota river fired a bullet into his head
that may cause DEATH
On Wednesday the young man, just
past his twenty sixth year, enlisted in
the regular army at the Phoenix block
and was assigned to Company E..
TWenty-first infantry. With but a
slight knowledge of the language
Schneider found 1t difficult to master
the printed regulations and found his
lot anything but happy one. Some of
his comrades did not add to his peace
of mind, finding in the recruit butt
for the practical jokes common to
military posts.
Not content with the 'jollies" that
could be worked on the legitimate reg
ulations, the soldiers added to them
without end. Schneider was warned
that the least infraction of the reguIa-
tons might mean dire consequences to
him, 1T being pointed out that men
were often sentenced to long terms of
Imprisonment for slight offenses. All
this worried the recruit, but worse was
to come.
Schneider did not arrive at the Fort
until Thursday, but a couple of days
had convinced him that he needed a lit
tie rest, and he applied for a leave of
absence. The commissioned officer
granted the request, but some of his
comrades took advantage to add this:
If you are not in your quarters be-
fore taps are sounded tonight you will
be ourt-martialed and shot"
In st. Paul Schneider found so much
Of interest that time passed quickly.
and when he returned to the fort he
found the quarters of his company
locked. His thoughts at this time are
unknown, but what he did is perfectly
plain. Evidently he had in mind the
dire threat to which he has listened
earlier in the evening, and perhaps
thought of the scene that would be en-
acted when he was led out to be shot.
Walking down to the river bank,
but short distance from the fort, he
drew from his pocket a S2-cal-
iber revolver and fired the shot that
may end his earthly career.
Schneider was missed by his COM
rades Sunday, and he was found I'M
conscious on the bank of the river. The
injured man was removed to the post
hospital and there operated upon by
Maj. E. P. Frick, surgeon of the regi-
ment. The surgeon holds out but little
hope of ultimate recovery.

Is there a shadow of proof offered by
the opponents of the present administra

any claim that the improvements thus
made could have been dispensed with, or
