DEMOCRATS ADD TO THE
PENNSYLVANIA PERPLEXITY

Harrisburg, Pa. June 27.-The dem
ocratic state convention 10 nominate
candidates for governor, lieutenant
governor, auditor general and secre-
tarv o. internal affairs, assembled
mere today Michael c. Ryan, of
Philadelphia, was temporary chair
man.
Probably never before in the his
tory OF the state OF Pennsylvania
has the political situation been
more complicated and uncertain than
lust now. II is doubtful whether the
democratic state convention, which
met here this forenoon, will simplify
matters and bring more clearness in
the political situation. Three state
tickets have already been named in
this state. and if the convention which
is now i'm session here should decide
10 put up a separate ticket of its own,
there will bee four and great confusion
i'm the ranks of both principal parties
in the bargain
The prohibtionists named a ticket
on the supposition that the democrats
would endorse it, and placed State
Treasurer William II. Berry at the
head OF it The Lincoln republicans,
the o-caued reform wing OF the
party. put up a ticket headed by Lewis

MANY OLD WAR CLAIMS
STILL UNSETTLED

Washington, d. c., June 27.-The
War Department contiues to receive
claims from southerners who lost
their horses in the Civil War on their
return TO heir homes from service
with the Confederate Army. For sew
eral years claims of this sort have
been paid by the quartermaster gen.
eral under special provision of law,
to meet which three appropriations
have been made on each occasion,
with the expectation that there would
be no further demand for funds for that
purpose. The auditing officials say
that there will probably be no end to
the claims of this sort and they do not
favor any extension of the period of
allowance or additional appropria-
tions to meet these - lated bills. 1t
was expected there were few in
stances where claims could be made
OF the loss by confiscation of animals
belonging to Confederate cavalrymen
under the circumstances described,
but as one War Department official,
familiar with the situation, describes
Il, there appears TO have been a
larger amount of cavalry in the dying
days of the Confederacy than had
been dreamed Of in the surviving
records. These horse claims have
probably reached their limit

IN THE POLITICAL FIELD is
MUCH ACTIVITY
Peoples Party Assemblies in St. Louis--Dem-
ocrats in Pennsylvania and Wisconsin,
Republicans in Maine.

St. Louis, June 27-The national
committee of the peoples party met
in annual conference here today, del
egates being present from almost ey-
cry state in the Union. The gathering
is for the purpose of discussing the
political situation. 1t is said that pos
sibly the members will endorse a man
for the presidential nomination.
The conference was called TO order
by James II. Ferris of Joliet, ILL.,, ma
tional chairman of the peoples party
In his address he said that the party
is at peace within itself. THE rate
BILL" he said, does not meet the pop
ulist demands but it is a step showing
at least that the statesmen desire to
do something for the country.
The pOpulists will push on for gov
ernment ownership of those industries

Theodore Roosevelt, Senator La Fol-
lette, and Thomas Lawson, William J.
Bryan. Governor Folk and w. r.
Hearst, nicknamed populists by their
Wall street despisers, are the great
men Of their parties, and It Is their
populist tendencies alone that have
made them more highly esteemed than
their ordiLary fellow partisans. This
is now recognized by their party man
ayers. for Bryan, Hearst or Folk will
be taken to defeat a Republican for
the presidency. Likewise Republicans
understand they can defeat the Demo-
Gratis with no other man than Roose-

Gently is taken by the police to mean
that a new plot is being framed

of the strict watch kept by the Swiss
government.
Some fifty Russians, arrested during
the May day disorders, were found 10
be responsible fer more agitation than
the strikers themselves, and the fact
that most of them were unarmed, and
all seemed to participate more from
desire to create a disturbance than
from any uennite motive resulting
from organization, led the police to

numbers.

lice and the coroner and district at
torney's office working TO learn all
details of the events which led up to
the Stanford White murder by Henry
X. Thaw, and all silent as to their dis
coveries, there was much room for
speculation on all phases of the case
today. A most interesting develop

Mrs. Thaw told her husbands lawyers

BOY IS NATURAL
BORN TRAMP

Liverpool, June 27-Stanley Condor,
age IL years, has been remanded to
the workhouse and will probably be
turned over to some reformatOry. He
is an extremely adventurous lad, and
has Travelled many thousands of miles
mostly as blind passenger" on the
freight trains, and as stOwaWay on
steamers and sailing vessels. The
last charge against him was to have
slowed himself away on the liner VIC
torian, from New York 10 Liverpool
CondOr's adventures in free travelling
all over the country are well known,
and would fill a good sized book.
Somewhat over a month ago, after
having lived quietly at his parents
home for some time, the irresistible
desire to see the world again seized
him. He slowed away on a vessel
bound for Halifax. On arriving there
he evaded the authorities and made
his way to the railway station, where
ne secreted himself in a westward
bound railway train. Eventually the
boy reached Winnipeg. He stayed
there one day. and then set out Tor
New York, tramping part of the way
and stealing free railway rides when
ever he got the chance. At New YORK
ne boared the Victorian, and was not
discovered until after she had sailed.
He was arrested upon the arrival OF
the ship in this port and remanded 10
the workhouse, but managed 10
escape. For several days his hiding
place could not be discovered, but
,finally a constable found him near the

Emery, Jr., veteran fighter against
the Standard Oil company. The reg
ular, or so-called machine, republic
ans, of whom Senator Penrose is the
leader, have nominated a ticket head
ed by Edwin S. Stuart, former mayor
of Philadelphia.
During the last few weeks various
efforts were made to start a move
ment in favor OF a fusion. The pro
hibition branch of the democrats
urged the endorsement of Berry by
the regular democratic convention
while the reform element favored the
endorsement of the Lincoln party
candidate for governor. 1t seems, how
ever, that a considerable part of the
democratic party does not favor fus-
ion with any other party, but insists
upon the nomination of a straight
democratic ticket. Col Guffy, the
leader of the party in this state, made
many efforts to restore peace and har-
mOny among the various factions
with a view of inducing them to agree
upon a candidate TO head the straight
democratic ticket at the coming cam
paign. His efforts were futile how
ever, and when the convention was
called to order this forenoon, the sit
uation was practically unchanged and
the party apparently as far from a
compromise as ever.
Former Mayor Vance McCOrmick of
Harrisburg is strongly pushed for the
gubernatorial nomination and Is con-
sidered one Of the strongest candi-
dates whom the democrats could place
at the head of their ticket, but it re-
mains to be seen whether the con-
yention will see fit to bury the hatchet
and accept Mccormick as a comprO-
mise candidate. It Is considered prac-
ticalIy out of the question that either
Berry or Emery will be endorsed.
Should the democrats nominate Nc
Cormick. State Treasurer Berry will
withdraw from the race and will not
permit his name to head the prohibi-
tiOn ticket

Special to Evening CltlZen.
Washington, June Ex-senator Pen
rose of Pennsylvania offered an
amendment to the public building ap-
preparation bill, for a public building
at Albuquerque to cost 100000, and
the building to have twenty feet Of
space on each side.
The president has signed the land
lease bill for New Mexico. thus max
ing it a law. II allows the leasing of
school lands in tracts of more than
$40 acres.
The following postmasters have
been named by the president for New
Mexico:
Harry c. Carter for Las Cruces,
John NJ. Wiley for Silver City, and
Harry w. Hamilton for Artesia.
At Las Cruces Carter was opposed
by A. j. Papin, the present incumbent
Grande Republican, and by Tom
Brannigan, personal friend of Major
w. II. H. Llewellyn. 1t was supposed
that Mr.. Brannigan had the party en-
dorsement and it was generally
thought by New MeXicans in this city
that he would get the appointment.
j. NJ. Wiley was not known as a can
didate for the Silver City postoffice.
The applicants were Mrs. ]. e. Gallo
way, postmistress at the present time,
and II. H. Belts. whom the politicians
generally favored. His appointment
was thought to be a foregone conclu-
sion. Mr.. Wiley at present resides in
this city, although claiming Silver City
as his home. He is one of Marshal
Foraker's deputy United States mar
shals, and it is reasonable to suppose
that Mr.. Wiley had the endorsement
of Marshal Foraker and his brother,
the senator. The Citizen is inclined
b believe that II. w. Hamilton at Ar
tesla is also q new man.
