They Will Make a Strenuous Effort to Gar.
 ry New York State
POutne of the Candidates Speaking Tour Carriage Talk Yesterday and Demand for a S2,OOO, ,OOO Campaign Fund Contribution by the People.

Haskell of Oklahoma, treasurer of the committee declared that Oklahoma would go for Bryan by 5O,OOO plurality That state will contribute $5O,0OO to the campaign funds, of which s27,OOO has already been raised.
 The political conditions in the mid dle west were taken up by Chairman Culberson of the advisory committee, who has been spending the summer in Maryland. He informed Bryan that the committeeman say West Virginia and Maryland will in all probability be found in the democratic ranks In the opinion of those taking an active part in the committees deliberations the most effective campaign for Bry- an will be to make speeches in all the middle west states, speaking only in the principal centers, then carry the fight through West Virginia, Mary land. Delaware, New Jersey and New York state Much of the time it is suggested, Bryan would spend on the trips in conference with national com mitteemen and state leaders, and in this way give valuable aid direction in the various state campaigns. It was decided to call a meeting of the full committee with various sub-com- mittees on September in this city.
 Standing. in a carriage in the middle of Congress street, between the audi torium and annex hotels, before a crowd that completely chOked the thoroughfare, for nearly a half hour tonight, Bryan outlined the uses to which the democratic clubs can be put in the present campaign. He was re-

Chicago, Aug. 22-William J. Bryan will make a determined effort to place New York state in the democratic column. Plans to this end were care fully laid today at a three hours con- ference of Bryan, the national chair man and the heads of the various bu- reaus of the national committee, and members of the executive committee. at democratic headquarters shortly after Bryan's arrival here from Des Moines. Bryan will speak in New York City. Syracuse and Rochester between September 16 and 20 and early in Oc- tober he will again speak in New York and Buffalo. Reports received by Mack gave strong hope to Bryan and members of the national committee that the democrats could carry New York if Bryan would speak in the principal centers of the state. It was further developed that Bryan will make a fight in the middle west, while Kern will likely be called upon to make an extended tour of the Pacific coast.
 After the conference had been called shortly before noon, Mack directed the heads of various committee bu reaus to submit reports of the plans and progress made in the bureaus. The national committeeman present told of the situation in the states and generally agreed the outlook for the democratic national ticket was most promising Taggart, declared that In diana would surely go for Bryan and that the republicans were using money to divide the labor vote. Governor

from 1889 when he was appointed ter ritOrial secretary of Arizona. Two years later in May 1892, he became governor, although for more than a year he had already performed the functions of executive in all but name. In June 1892 he was a delegate from Arizona to the national republican convention held in Minneapolis, where he secured, for the first time in a na- tional platform, a statement as to the necessities of the arid regions. Al though Arizona was at the time demo- cratic, in 1894 he was elected terri tOrial delegate to congress, where he did all within his power to bring be- fore the consideration of that body the needs of the territory as well as the opportunities it offered for advanta- geous cultivation.
 It is a noteworthy fact that Cover nor Murphy is the only territorial gov ernOr who has been twice appointed to the office of executive. His second term dates from July 16, 1898, at which time President Mckinley appointed him to succeed the late Myron H. McCord who resigned to accept the rank of colonel of the First Territorial VOlun- teer infantry in the Spanish American war. During his service as governor he emphasized his fitness for his high office. Possessing the force of his convictions he always championed movements for the benefit of the ter ritOry In his messages to the legis- lature he urged the proper assessment of mines. railroads and personal prop erty, the reorganization of the National Guard of Arizona, the establishment of an entirely new prison and the enact ment of primary election laws. What ever made for the progress of the ter ritOry received his support and both as public official and private citizen he labored indefatigably for the progress of Arizona and the development of it's resources. Since retiring from office he devoted himself to mining until forced by ill health to give up busi- ness interests.
 Besides his widow and his brother Frank NJ. Murphy of Prescott who is at this time in New York, Governor Murphy is survived by one other mem Der of his immediate family in Ari- zona. a son. Paul Tritle Murphy who lives in Tombstone.

Atkinson of Tucson, for the office of joint councilman representing Pima and Santa Cruz counties; adopt ed a platform heartily endorsing the national and territorial republican ad- ministratiOns; listened to a score of masterly addresses which developed indescribable enthusiasm; started roll ing wave of public sentiment that |came almost unbidden, clouds the rose ate sky that has lighted the pathway of Mark Smith for To these many years. and it is believed will break the backbone of democracy in the territory, properly fitting Arizona to take her place in the sisterhoOd of states at tired in a sparkling republican gown.
 As announced in these columns yes terday morning there was no slate and forecasting was impossible. There were groups of delegates with this or that matter lying nearest to their hearts. but not enough of them had arrived in the city for the perfection of plans to be perfunctOrily carried out. Yesterday morning however, they ar rived in large numbers and the caucus land conference were the occupations of the early hours. One hundred and seventy delegates was the strength of the convention and nearly all of them were present in person and the rest by proxy. The early caUcuses were chiefly on temporary organiza- tion and when the convention met at 10 o'clock there was an entirely har- monious understanding of what was to be done.
 The convention hall had been fitting 1 ly decorated and was well filled when | H. B. Penney of Tucson, chairman of the territorial central committee rap ped for order and the secretary, George Mauk. read the call. The galleries were filled with people. Chief among them was a large audience of ladies, who reappeared again for the after noon session and who during the day were paid timely tributes for their in- terest Next in importance was a large number of democrats of county and territorial fame whose interest

The rest of the chairs and bench es were occupied by enthusiastic re- publicans representing the laity of the occasion. and by the Pioneer band which discoursed it's best music at ap- lpropriate places during both sessions On the platform with the gentlemen named were also Governor J. H. Kib- bey and Hon. W. $. Sturges, Arizona s representative on the national central committee.
 After the reading of the call, J. l.. Hubbell. who had been prominently mentioned the night before for the honor of temporary chairman, present. ed the name of F. s. Clark, who was chosen unanimously and who in ac- cepting the honor, appropriately thanked the convention. Attorney George F.

Little time was lost in the naming of the usual committees

GRAVE ISSUE
FOR A SCHOOL
Court Fight Over Exclusion
Of Pupils With TubeTCu-
IOSiS in Chester

CHESTER, March 12-The case of
Miriam Hansley against Professor
Thomas S. Cole. superintendent Of the
public schools; Sarah p. Wilde, princi-
pal of the Patterson School, and Caro-
line Broomall, a teacher, asking the
court to grant an order permitting Mir
lam Hansley to attend the public
schools, was heard in chambers by
Judge William B. Broomall. The case
is one of interest throughout Pennsyl-
vania, as it involves the question
whether the school authorities have the
right to exclude from the schools pu-
pills who are suffering with tubercu-
losis.
The suit in equity was brought for
Miriam Hansley by her father. Eph-
rain Hansley. Counsel for the defend
ants argued that the exclusion was not
necessarily in accordance with any
particular enactment now applying TO
public schools. but in accordance with
the general power of exclusion vested
in the public school authorities. Coun-
sci for the plaintiff contended that
there was no law under which the child
could be excluded.
Judge Broomall stated that before
he could render a decision it would be
necessary to ascertain whether or NOT
the child was afflicted.

KING ESCAPES.
ANARCHISTS
One Bomb Explosion at Bar
CeIOna Disturbed Alfonso
Of Spain

MADRID, March 12-King Alfonso
has returned from Barcelona and his
political advisers are breathing easier.
Queen Victoria received him with al
most hysterical joy.
The King appears cool and satisfied
with the result of his visit TO the most
turbulent centre Of anarchism in The
country.
It Is believed that the effect Of the
visit win be excellent. though the bomb
explosion early yesterday in a water
pipe at Ataranzas somewhat dampened
even His Majesty's enthusiasm. 1t
cannot be learned that any one was
hurt, but the reticence Of the police
makes IL impossible to say this with
absolute certainty Considering that
most of the bomb explosions at Bar
celona have been attended with the
loss Of life. yesterdays explosion would
have been deemed a trihe but for the
presence Of the King 1t is generally
accSS-sd as an anarchist Rtimation,
that though the terrorists were unable
to get to His Majesty they did not want
him to think himself forgotten.

MAY STRIKE IN
NEW HAVEN SHOPS

By United Press Leased Special Wire.
BOSTON, March Offending the re-
suit of the conference of the union
chiefs with the officials of the New
Haven road at New Haven. the 1900
men employed in the car shops at
Readville went to their work as usual
this morning, although they had ex-
pected an order to strike last night
This is the crucial day in the negotia-
tions between the company and its car
workers over the introduction of piece
work, which was to have gone into cf-
feet yesterday. but was postponed for
one day to await the result Of the
conference.
The members of the grievance COM
mittee of all the workers unions rep
resented to-day are voting on the ques-
ton of a strike should the conference
with the company's officials come to
naught.
At the Office of George Donohue,
superintendent Ct the Readville shops,
It was stated to-day that all of the
men were at work and that there had
been no further order issued regarding
the piece bonus plan. 1t is probable
that the employees pay may be COM
puted BY the new system beginning to-
day, but the men will undoubtedly con-
tinue at their work until ordered out
by the international officers.
