Retire i'm Favor of LOvden.
Springfield, ILL.,. May 16.-With the
deadlock unbroken and with little pros
pect of compromise on a candidate
for Governor. the Illinois Republican
Convention took recess this evening
untll tomorrow having taken five bal
lots to-day. The recess followed the
twenty-ninth roll call. the result of
which showed each candidate with APP
proximately the same strength he had
when he entered the convention.
The twenty-ninth ballot gave the fol-
lowing results: Gov. Richard Yates.

Deneen. SS2 Howland ]. Hamlin. 115;
Yespasian Warner, 81; Lawrence Y.
Sherman, Sc: John II. Pierce, %.
The proceedings were comparatively
tame to-day, and at only one time dur
ing the session was there any great
demonstration. This occurred when O.
glee club was invited to the platform
to sing illinois"
Chairman Joseph G.. Cannon invited
the audience to join in the chorus, and
he led the refrain from his place on
the platform, beating time with a re-
time singing master at a country
school house as he swayed his body in
unison with the music and measured
time with the improvised baton. The
great audience sang with a will and
when the echoes OF the chorus died
away q wave of enthusiasm swept over
the Armory Hall.
All efforts to induce Yates to with
draw in the interest of Lowden We're
to-day said to have failed. A story
that last Saturday morning Senator
Hopkins, Speaker Cannon and Con-
gresham Lorimer offered to make Gov.
Yates minister TO Mexico IL the Gov
ernor would withdraw, and Yates in
dignantly declined the offer. was one
of the sensational rumors afioat.
Gov. Yates and his followers were
jubllant to-day and said all talk of
the withdrawal Of the Governor was
nonsense.

attract any special attention. A mo-
ment later a large steamer appeared
through the fog, heading directly for
the schooner. There was no time TO
change the course of either vessel. and
the prov of the steamer crashed into
the side of the schooner cutting her
almost completely in two.

BANKER WOULDN'T ANSWER.
LewisOhn Committed to Jail for Con-
tempt in Refusing.

New York, May 16.-Jesse Lewisohn,
the banker, who was subpoenaed to
testify regarding his knowledge of
gambling in this city, declined to an
swer questions put to him by District
Attorney Jerome before Judge Wyatt
in the Court of Special Sessions to-
day.
Mr.. Jerome Immediately made appli-
cation to Justice Wyatt for the COM
mitment of the witness for contempt.
This was granted, and Lewisohn was
committed to Ludlow street Jail. The
warden, however, informed District At
torney Jerome that he could not re-
ceive Lewisohn because he was not
authorized to receive criminal pris-
oners. 1t was then decided to take
Lewisohn to the Tombs, but as he was
being conducted there the deputy sher-
iff in charge was served with papers
in habeas corpus proceedings in the
Supreme Court and was compelled to
take his prisoner before Justice Dugro.
There arrangements We're made to
have arguments on habeas corpus pro-
ceedings put over until Thursday next,
Lewisohn meantime being paroled in
custody of his counsel.
1t was stated tonight that District
Attorney Jerome tomorrow will ask
the grand jury to indict Jesse Levi
sohn, because of his refusal to answer
questions put to him while d witness
before that body.
In case such an indictment is handed
down, Lewiston will have three charges
to face, the. first being his refusal TO
answer questions before the grand
jury, the second his refusal to answer
when questioned before Justice Wyatt
as a committing magistrate, and the
third, when he will have to plead to
the indictment, if such is drawn,
charging him with refusing to answer
before the grand jury, which, under
the new law, is a misdemeanor.
The district attorney said Lewiston
might be punished on all three of these
charges.

FRENCH SENSATION
is SPRUNG IN LONDON.
Authentic Plans of TOuIOn FOrtifcn-

Authentic Plans of TOuIOn Fortifcn-
tions Had Been secured.
Paris, May 16.-The Mathis London
correspondent. having obtained nearly
a hundred authentic plans of the forti-
ficatons. at Toulon, besides numerous
other compromising documents, that
paper this morning begins the publi-
cation of the history of a treason af-
fair which seems likely to exceed in
importance the offences with which
Capt. Dreyfus was charged.
On April q the correspondent re-
ceived a letter written in queer
semi-French, semi-Italian jargon and
signed "Fragola, Pietro," telling him
that the writer. who was employed at
hotel, had been acting as a guide to
two persons who had come to London
to sell a large parcel of documents OF
the highest Importance, concerning
French naval defences. The letter
stated that the men had gone to Brus-
sells leaving the writer penniless. He
therefore. wanted to negotiate for the
transfer OF certain documents, but was
unwilling to treat direct with the
French government, preferring to
treat with the Matin or some other
newspaper.
Meeting the correspondent by APP
pointment Fragola produced eighty-fi ''
plans of the Toulon forts, some of them
the French originals and others accu-
rate copies. made at the Italian wat
ministry. He also had in his posses
sion a list of plans Of Cherbourg, Brest
and Toulon with typewriter instruc-
tions, alleged by Fragola to have eml-
mated from the German staff. concern
ing the marking of batteries of arti'-
lery. There was also a letter appoint
ing a rendezvous at the Thuringer Hof
Berlin, for Nov. 10, signed TX" .Tt
this was attached a card inscribed
Felix Friedrich Scholtz."
The Mathis correspondent gave Fra
COLA few shillings and persuaded him
to leave the documents in his hands in
order that an examination of their
might be made. The next morning he
took them to the French embassy
where the naval attache declared theIl
to be absolutely genuine.
