gents The town is surrounded by
thousand insurgents and is defended by
about 500 government troops, but this
number is daily decreasing by dessr-
tiOns to the besiegers. "Wednesday
night one of the biggest stores in Ceiha
was fired in the hope of getting the
troops to leave the fort and put out the
fire. In the meantime the insurgents
were TO capture the fort and take the
. town. Citizens put out the fire. how
ever. and the troops did not leave the
/ barracks. so the coup failed. Many
, rumOrs reach the coast from the in
terror. but nothing definite is known. IL

Presidential Nomination and
Lively Time Is Likely

COLUMBUS, o., July IA majority
of the 1900 delegates to the prohibition
national convention and many more
visitors are in the city tonight, and
the hotel 1obbies have taken on a
real convention aspect. All day the
prohibition hosts have marched the
streets. every incoming train bringing
them by scores and hundreds
Escorting the delegations from the
union station to the hotel to which they
were assigned there was a decorated
water wagon drawn by four white
horses, emblematic of the eight pro-
hibition states of the union, and fol-
lowed by mule labeled Missouri two
thirds dry"
All the larger delegations, represent
ing the states which cast the heaviest
votes for the cause, are on the ground,
including Illinois, Pennsylvania, In
diana, New York, Ohio, Iowa, California,
Minnesota, Michigan and Wisconsin.
THREE SESSIONS TODAY
The convention will open tomorrow
morning in Memorial hall. Charles
Jones of Chicago, chairman of the ma
tional committee, Will call the conven-
ton to order, and Robert p. Patton of
Illinois, as temporary chairman, will
deliver the keynote speech. There Will
be three sessions tomorrow and if the
present plans carry Tie pldIlOII1 w III
be adopted at the third, leaving only
the nomination of the ticket for the
Thursday session.
With seven names in the list of can
didates the contest for the nomination
for president tonight takes on an in
teresting aspect. Charles Scanlon of
Pittsburg and Joseph P. Tracey of De-
troit appeared to have an advantage
over the field. .
among the leaders being Fred W.
Wheeler of California, who also has a
following among New England dele
gates; Daniel r. Sheen of Illinois and
Fred L. Mannierre of New York.
Joshua r. Levering of Baltimore, who
was a candidate in 1896, did not take
seriously the talk of renominating him
and the candidacy of j. B. Cranfill of
Texas has not up to this time gathered
large following.
INDIANA HAS CANDIDATE
Members of the Indiana delegation,
which met today and indorsed Judge
Samuel A. Artman of Indiana as their
candidate for president, have not given
up hope of inducing him to consent to
the use of his name. Judge Artman is
republican and is a candidate for a
second term as circuit judge. Judge
Artmans decision from the, bench de-
claring the licensing of the liquor traf-
fic to be unconstitutional has won for
him the admiration of the prohibitions
lists.
Numerous drafts of platforms have
been prepared and will be presented to
the committee on resolutions. The SEN
timent tonight is that the platform will
be reasonably brief. Besides declaring
for the suppression of the liquor traf-
f1c it will appeal to the temperance
element of the old parties by attack
ing their attitude on the liquor ques-
ton. 1t is said that woman suffrage
will be indorsed despite the action OF
the Ohio prohibition convention today

PLEASED WITH PLATFORM

II desire upon this first meeting with
you to express my deep appreciation,
not merely of the honor that has been
paid me by the party which you, as
an organization represent. but my en-
tire satisfaction with the platform
which was adopted by the convention
which had recently adjourned, and my
qualification, too, that a candidate for
vice president has been selected who
is not only a political friend and a
personal friend, but one in whom I have
entire confidence.
Il don't know how I can better ex-
press my feelings on this subject than
to say that If 1 am elected president
and Mr.. Kern is elected vice presi-
dent I shall not be afraid to die. be-
cause 1 shall feel that the policy out
lined in the platform, which 1 shall en-
deavor to have put into operation, will
be just as faithfully carried out by
him as they would by me. (Applause) }
"As I have the honor of having with
me al this time our candidate for vice
president Mr.. Kern, 1 have conferred
with him about two or three matters
and I shall present at this time re-
quest in which he and join. 1 have
reduced it to writing"

The appointment of a subcommittee of

Chicago on July 25 to name chairman
of the democratic national committee

Atwood today was the fact that his
eminence in the legal profession may
have brought him into closer contact

sistent in a campaign against cor

two weeks after the date appointed

Irregular Action That Presages At.

The scarlet fever heart is q Pc
culiarity lately noticed for the first
time. by German medical man.
With the stethoscope It is recognized
by a reduplication Of the first heart
sound. followed by a rough raspins
or scraping. and this appears at the
onset OF many cases OF scarlet fever.
often when no other symptoms are to
be detected. In some epidemics these
sounds may be heard In the majority
Of cases, while at other times they
may be quite regularly absent. Their
presence Is Of great value In diagnosis
and may be the only warning signal to
guard against the spread of infection.
A boy, who was bile. Ianguid and
anaemic had no other symptoms ex.
cept the irregular heart sounds. From
these his case was decided to be scar
let fever and subsequent peeling Of
the skin proved the correctness OF ths
diagnosis. Certain children In tbs
chickenpox ward Of a hospital were
restless and obviously Ill. The heart
sounds Indicated scarlet fevor. and in
these cases. too. desquamation fol.
lowed. although there had been no
eruption or other sign. Directly after.
