Deadlock at Baltimore De
la3's Passage of the Appro
priation Bills.
NO BUSINESS ON TRUST
Money . Must Be Forthcoming
or Departments Will Shut
Up Shop.
WASHINGTON, .Tune 30. The dead
lock in tho Baltimore convention
threatens to continuo the embarrass
ment of the executive departments of
tho government, duo to the failure of
congress to pass tho necessary appro
priation bills for the new fiscal year
which begins tomorrow.
"When the house and. sonato moot at
noon tomorrow it is not likely that a
quorum will be present and unless unani
mous consent is given for the passage
of, thc Fitzgerald resolution continuing
last year's appropriations during July
the government will have to struggle
along without funds until thc Demo
crats nominate a candidate for presi
dent and permit the absent states
men to return to their seats in Wash
ington. Heads of the executive departments
have decided to continue operations to
morrow on the promise of leaders that
the resolution will be passed.
Some Possibilities.
If it is not passed it is hard to pre
dict what might happen. Certainly
Borne of the machinery of government
will stop at midnight Monday all of it
might stop. The mails might be held
up.
With conventions out of tho way
congress will begin a steady grind to
transact the business which has been
waiting in the senate. Prom tho sen
ato tho naval bill will come shortly
with a provision for two battleships
which the house has rcjccod-TJbfi.,con-ference
on tho judicial una" executive
bill will begin immediately.
The first business of importance in
the house will bo tho impeachment
proceedings against Judge TJobert W.
Arhchbald of the court of commerce.
Joint Maneuvers.
Chairman Hay of tho military af
fairs committeo will present a resolu
tion tomorrow appropriating funds for
the expenses of the ."joint maneuvers
between the regular army and tho
militia. An emergenc' exists for this
appropriation, the troops for the first
maneuvers at Manassas, Va., being un
der orders to go to the encampment.
A mere error in engrossing threatens
to lcgislato Jacob M- Dickinson, for
mer secretary of war, and other attor
neys out of office as special govern
ment counsel in anti-trust and intor
stato commerce cases. Originally the
bill would have barred employment of
special counsel who had. heen in gov
ernment service within two years pro
ceding. The house modified the prohi
bition to apply to future appointment,
but Attorney General Wickorsham dis
covered tho modification hal boen
overlooked in the engrossed copy, al
ready officially signed in the house, no
will ask tho senate to eliminate tho
prohibition altogether.

BALTIMORE, June SO. Hope of no:n- MM

lot for president practically who fl
abandoned by Democratic leader.- BH
tonight. When the national con-
vcntlon adjourned for Sunday It was H
believed that some solution of the dead- HI
lock would result from conferences he- nfl
twoen the champions r.of the three lend- . -JIH
Trig candidates. but deVefopcd that the fl
time had not arrived for the withdrawal HI
of Speaker Clark. Governor Wilson or wtU
Representative Underwood. It was not Ml
expected that the first ballot tomorrow
would materially differ from the twenty
sixth. Campaign managers might have reached HH
sorao agreemont if Interest In tho dead-
lock had not been dwarfed hy thc pc:- yl
sonal controversy between William .Jen- -H
nings Bryan and Speaker Clark. Tho va- fl
It of Mr. Clark to Baltimore and his ar- jM
rival too late to attempt vindication of
himself before thc convention overshad
owed everything else as a subject of
Sunday gossip.
Views of Party Leaders.
Party leaders generally took the posl
tlon, notwithstanding tho Mlgsourian's
Impassioned denial of Mr. Bryan's tin
putation, that ho was beholden to Mor
gan, Belmont and Ryan, that he would
be unable to regain the votes he had IB
lost. At tho same time many of them
thought that sympathy for Clark and
thc iuovitablc linking of Bryan and Wil-
son In the minds of delegates, had in- H
Jured tho chance of "Wilson's nomlna- H
tion. m
Mr. Bryan tonight issued a statement
saying he believed Mr. Clark was right
at heart, but hod been misled. The
statement wns variously interpreted,
Romn taking It ns a direct invitation to
Mr. Clark to repudiate thn uld of the
New York delegation. Several state- fl
meats wore Insued from Clark hoadquar- H
terx upholding the speaker's position.
The situation as ueen by lenders not HH
associated Intimately in the management H
of any of the campaigns seemed tonight H
about ns follows: Clark having failed H
of nomination for seventeen ballots af- nfl
tcr receiving a majority vote, probably IfH
has reached the crest or Jits xtrmgth. H
Wilson, although climbing steadily, ap- ilfl
parontly was bitterly opposed by dele- fftfl
gates who resented thc gccnral Impres- ilfl
slon that Colonel Bryan had the veto nfl
power although he lacked the votcs nee- Byl
essary to control the nomination. The? mvAt
delegates believed that tlii New Jersey mffl
governor would continue to gain even Hflj
to the point whero he had a. majority, fflfl
but that he could not break down tho jjffl
Clark strength which was said to be de- HH
tormlned that Bryan should not" win HI
through a combination of any kind. H
Underwood's Turn Next, 9fl
Should Clark and Wilson fall on the BH
next two or three ballots, It was-pfo-
dieted there would be a turn to Rqprc- DH
sentatlvo Underwood, who had held his HH
normal vote from first to last. Under- M
wood's forces wero watching ror juai UH
such a contingency and claimed to' be DH
prepared to take full advantage of It. tjH
Whether the Alabama candidate could UM
win was tho subject of much specula- mSl
tlon, but outside of tho delegates who Bh
had voted for him. on twenty-six ballots RW
there did not appear to be much en- SHM
thuslasm. nNnii
Genuine attempts at compromise arc fffifli
likely to be made if Wilson and Under- jtllij
wood should follow Clark upon a high jjffl;
wave of votos and still fall to get tho WUt
necessary two-thirds, but It was not ex- Hnl
