NEBR ASKANS WANT NO
 ROCKEFELLER MONEY
State Political Convention Announces the Acceptance by University of
 Money From oil King.

Lincoln, Neb., September 20-F'uson be- tween the democrats and populsts of Ne- braslxa was effected today by the nomina- ton by both state conventions of an iden- tcal ticket as follows:
 Justice of the supreme court, William G. Hastings of Wilber.
 Regents of the university, D. c. Cole of Osceola, Louis Light of Columbus.
 There was no formal declaration for fusion by either convention. but an under standing exists among the leaders in both. Of the nominees, Messrs. Hastings and Lightner are democrats and MT. Cole populist. The feature of the democratic gathering was the speech of William J. Bryan, in which he bade his party asso- ciate in the state farewell for year at least, on the eve Of his departure for an extended tour of the old world. Mir. Bryan commended President Roosevelt for what he declared to be his advanced stand on the principles long advocated by the democrats. On these points he hoped every democrat would uphold the Presi- dent.
 resolution which caused stir in the convention and which was promptly adopted denounced the Rockefeller gift to the University of Nebraska; criticized ths regents for accepting 1t. and demanded the return of the gift to the donor. Ths platform is largely devoted to state is- sues, defining the position of the party, especially on regulation of railroads.

IRON MARKET |S STILL VERY STRONG Scarcity of Crude Steel is
 More Pronounced ADVANCE SOUTH EXPECTED Tonnage of Rail Orders Placed In the Past Few Days Has Been Very
 Large-chicago Makes
 Inquiries.
ADVANCE SOUTH EXPECTED

Cleveland, September 2O.-(Special)- )-The Iron Trade Review tomorrow will say: The market continues fully as strong as it has been on such products as rails, plates and. structural material. and or some products, such as sheets, pipe and boiler tube, on which prices have been irregular and the demand limited, there Is noteworthy improvement. The scar city of crude steel Is more pronounced. In Chicago forging bills are held at minimum of s35, while for quick ship ments $39 per ton has been paid for car load lots. In the Plttsburg district one regular producer of steel is in the mar ket for 5000 tons. Consumers are unable to place orders to cover their require ments, and there is an open market to quote, while for large sales of pig ira ore imported there is steady buying, with prices firm and tending upward.
 At Chicago inquiries aggregating nearly 75 900 tons, mostly for requirements of the first half of 1906, and embracing nearly every grade of iron. Northern and south ern are pending. Iron Is being shipped long distances to Chicago on the basis of s165O to s16.So, delivered in that city There has been considerable buying of Lake Superior charcoal, one contract for 10000 tons having been made by a Chi- cago car wheel interest.
 The United States Steel Corporation fcs purchased 10.OO0 tons of Bessemer pig at s15 valley for late September delivery, and 1t Is expected that the corporation win buy steadily during the remainder of the year.
 The southern market is stronger and sales below SIP Birmingham are now very rare. An advance by several large south ern producers Is expected. About 65,0OO tons are sold by Cincinnati agencies the first part of this week, while it was not to be expected that the buying of rails would be continued at the unprecedented rate of the preceding two weeks, the tonnage placed within few days has been very large.
 Among the orders of the week are the following; Philadelphia and Reading, 7s,- GOO: Tidewater railway, 11000; Chicago. Indianapolis and Louisville. 1000; Norfolk and Western. 10000; Wheeling and Lake Erie, 5000; Central of New Jersey, 5000; Oregon and Western, 10000 At the Pitts burg mill rail tonnage taken on during the week amounts to about 15O. 900, includ- ing 5000 tons from the Pennsylvania.

ROOSEVELT RECEIVES
 DISTINGUISHED GUESTS
Root, Lodge and Choate Spent tho Night at Sagamore Hill and Con-
 fer on Important Matters.

Oyster Bay, September 20.--A conference of importance was held tonight at Saga more Hill, the participants being Presi- dent Roosevelt. Ellhu Root. secretary of state; Henry Cabot Lodge. United States senator from Massachusetts, and Joseph Choate, former ambassador to Great Brit ain.
 While 1t Is stated particular subject of great concern to the country was un- der consideration, the nature of which was not disclosed officially tonight, the opportunity was embraced by the Presi- dent to discuss with his visitors some matters relating to the foreign relations of America This is the first suitable op- portunity the President has had to talk with Secretary Root since he assumed his duties as secretary of state. Secretary Root, Senator Lodge and Mir. Choate ar rived here together about $40.
 In response to inquiries, Secretary Root said he expected to go to Washington about october 1, and until then would not undertake in the full acceptation of the term the duties of his office.
 It is not unlikely that among other top- les of discussion. the recent developments in the conduct of the life insurance com panies received an important share of attention at the conference. All three of the visitors will remain as guests of the President and Mrs. Roosevelt until ta- morrow.

SEA LEVEL CANAL
 SEEMS IN FAVOR
ARE THAT BOARD OF CONSULTING ENGINEERS WILL RECOMMEND THIS PLAN FOR PANAMA CANAL.

Washington, September 20.-(Special.)-- The hearings so far held by the board of consulting engineers of fourteen mem- bers, five of whom are foreigners, on the proposed Panama canal plan seem to indicate that the board will recom- mend to the commission a sea level ca nal. Such a canal, it is estimated, can be built for about $230, ,O0O000.
 A report has been made public by the commission embracing the findings of which last year looked into this subject. The members. w. H. Burr, w. B. Parson and Gen. G. w. Davis, thei reported in favor of a sea level canal. A all of them are mem- bers of the present board of consulting engineers, it is expected that they will urge upon the new board report close ly in line with the one heretofore made by them.
 Former Chief Engineer Wallace placed the time necessary to the completion of a sea level canal at from ten to twelve years. In case the "sea level plan was not adopted, however, he urged that no temporary or tentative plan be decided upon which would interfere with the sea level canal
 Messrs. Burr, Parsons and Davis ac- cordingly recommended that the work on such a canal be commenced. The bottom width was to be loo feet, with minimum depth of water of 35 feet should of course be borne in mind that even with sea level canal at least one tidal lock will be necessary, which it is proposed to build in the vicinity of Mira flores.

WtaVer's Friends Put Out Full
 County Ticket
DELEGATES UNRESTRICTED
Nearly Thousand of Them Later Call On the Mayor and Pledge Him Their Support In the
 Fight.

Philadelphia, Pa, September 2o.-In a most unusual convention followed by an unprecedented demonstration, the new city party a reform body opposed to the methods of the republican party, today nominated a county ticket to be voted for at the November election. The ticket is as follows;
 Sheriff, Wilson IT. Brown coroner, J. M. R. Jermon; city commissioners. Ru- doph Bailkenburg and Edward A. Am derson; Judge common pleas court. No. 1, Craig Riddle; judge orphans court, Nor ris Dallett.
 Judges Riddle and Dallett are at present on the bench and the republican nomi- nees for reelection.
 Todays convention was the first in many years in this city to which the del- egates were uninstructed
 There was no slate" and each of the 917 delegates was at liberty to name whom he pleased for the office. The result was selection of candidates who fairly represent the reform element that has come into prominence since Mayor Weav- CTS break with the organization last May.
 Scenes Have Never Been EquaIed.
 Never before in the history of this city have the concluding scenes of the con- vention been equalled. Then the entire body of delegates and alternates marched to the city hall and acquainted Mayor Weaver of the action of the convention. Mayor Weaver was lifted to a table in the center of the reception room and a delegate stood on either side of him with a large American flag. City Chair man Edmonds, addressing the mayor. congratulated him on the work of the convention.
 MT. Mayor said MT Edmonds, there are here 9l7 delegates. every one pledg- ed to the support of your administration | They have nominated ticket which represents the wishes of the people We assure you the support of the people of Philadelphia"
 Mayor Weaver. in reply. said:
 "Todny's convention is only the be- ginning of the fight in which the admin istration and the people are pledged to stand together. Philadelphia has been corrupt, but whether she has been con tented will be decided next November. Your ticket represents the reforms [ stand for. Let us work for the over whelming defeat of the organization"

JUDGE PARKER SAYS HE
 NEVER ASKED FOR MONEY.

My attention has been called to cer- tain testimony said to have been given today by MT John A. Mccall, while a witness before the insurance investigat- ing committee. in reply to MT. Hughes question whether he thought that in 1904 the interests of the policyholders were so seriously endangered that the company ought to contribute.'
 Tt Is evident that MT. Mccall was laboring under great excitement in mak- Ing his reply, for 1t Is very incoherent. But if his answer is intended to convey the impression that in the campaign of 1904 either directly or indirectly so- licited from him or his corporation, or any other corporation any money or valu- able thing, his statement is absolutely false.
 ''On the contrary, I repeat now what l said before the election, that I expressly notified and directed the chairman of the executive committee of the national com mitte that no money should be received from corporations"
 William F. Sheehans attention was called to the testimony of MT. Mccall, and he said:
 ''I was chairman of the executive com mittee of the democratic national com mittee. There was not a single man con- nected with the democratic national com mittee that solicited dollar from MT. Mccall. If any such person made any such solicitation MT. Mccall should name him.
 John A. Mccall, president of the New York Life Insurance company, referring to his testimony before the executive committee in relation to the contributions of the democratic party, said tonight:
 ''The meaning I intended to convey when I mentioned Judge Parker was this: Judge Parker, when a candidate for the President last year. did not ask me for campaign funds, but friends of his did 80 repeatedly.

Policy Holders of Western Life
 Hold Indignation Meeting
ASK PERTINENT QUESTIONS
Uproar Results When Attorney Levin son Tries to Tell Ills Side of the Matter-Another
 Meeting Called.

Chicago, September 20-At a turbulent meeting of policy holders of the Western Life Indemnity company today 1t was resolved to put some pointed questions to the officers of the company, an assess ment corporation with headquarters in Chicago The policy holders were moved to action by bill for receiver filed yes terday by Attorney s. o. Leyinson, who, claiming to represent a number of policy holders, alleged that the assets of the company were about to be transferred without consent of the policy holders to company in another state. Various charges of fraud and graft were also made in the bill for a receiver.
 fingered by failure to secure from off cers of the company information as to it's present condition and as to the purpose of the men in control, the policy holders today formulated these questions and submitted them to President G. M. Moul- tom
 Was a contract entered into between the Western Life and Indemnity company and E. l. Rosenfeld for the management of the company's affairs? What are the terms of that contract?
 Did MT. Rosenfeld pay over to w. H. Gray, who retired as manager of the company last February, $125,0O0 and how was that sum paid? Is MT. Rosenfeld receiving commission on all insurance policies written and on all renewals?"
 Today's meeting was attended by a hundred policy-holders from Michigan. Iowa. Missouri, Indiana and other states. At the beginning of the meeting Presi- dent Moulton, Manager E. I. Rosen- field and other officers of the company were present.
 Company Is Perfectly Solvent.
 President Moulton gave his personal as- surance that the company was perfectly solvent. To the demand made by a policy holder as to what the officers of the company proposed to do, MT. Moulton re- piled that all would be known in good time. Manager Rosenfeld declared that there was no truth in the statements set forth in the bill for a'receiver filed by Att torney Levinson. Then MT. Levinson asked if Manager Rosenfeld had not paid former Manager w H. Gray Sl25,000 for the position now held by Rosenfeld. Ros- enfeld's reply was that's none of your business"
 MT. Levinson started to talk, but an uproar arose. Policy-hoders and officers of the company from the various parts of the room asked Levinson if he was policyholder, and by what right he, rep resenting the members of the company now its foes, appeared at the meeting. When order was restored motion was made to take a recess until after the court had passed on the action, and this caused more wrangling.
 It was finally decided to adjourn until October B. Then the regular meeting of the company resolved itself into a meet ing of policy-holders, and officers of the company immediately retired.

CASSATT TO STAY.
Head of the Pennsylvania Railroad Ia
 In the Best of Health.

Philadelphia, September 20.-Referring to the report emanatng from Chicago. regarding the probable retirement of Mir. Cassatt from the presidency of the Penn sylvania railroad. a high official of that company today made the following state- ment:
 MT. Cassatt was never in better health nor ever stronger physically or mentally. He was never more intensely interested in the vast works of improvement which he has inaugurated. and 1t is his earnest desire to see the improvement pushed to completion before his retirement
 ''The shareholders of the (oennsylvania Railroad company may rest ssured that they would enjoy the benehtNof his ripe experience and great abilityN for many years to come. Any likeliho\d Of his early retirement is absolutely without foundation in fact"
