Early Talk of Bolting.
"Do all In your power to see har
mony predominate. Mr. Hearst re
quests it."
It -was this telegram sent to the
Hearst managers In Hennepin oounty
last evening, and from the Hearst
headquarts In Chicago, which this
morning resulted in arbitration be
tween the Hearst and antl elements
In the county convention.
From the first gathering of the
democratic clans at Normanna hall,
the political atmosphere was "Hearst-
like." Every Hearst man was duly
labeled with a broad white ribbon
reading, "HEARST DELEGATE,"
and the "antl" element was much in
the background.
At 10 o'clock the delegates began
to gather about the hall and hot dis
cussions were numerous. It seemed
as tho the fisticuffs between two of
the leaders yesterday was to be dupli
cated at the convention to-day by
their followers. The city authorities
had evidently had a premonition of
trouble and at 10 o'clock the hall was
guarded by six stalwart policemen.
An hour later this number was aug
mented by six more.
The convention was not called to
order on schedule time11 o'clock.
The leaders of the two factions were
not even present at that hour, 'altho
the hall was full of men talking loud
ly. The "bosses" were In a quiet
Conference at" Hearst "headquarters^
a conference invited by the Hearst 1 shoulder to the wheel of the cart and
men and In accordance with the tel- PU?h
gram of instructions from Chicago.
Meanwhile, in the convention hall
there was much talk of bolting on the
part of the Hearst rank and file who
were not yet "on" to what the lead
ers were doing. The talk went around
that should Elijah Bartoncounty
chairman and anti-Hearst man who
would call the convention to order
make unreasonable anti-Hearst rul
ings, the Hearst men would hold a
"rump" convention of their own.
While this gossip was going the
rounds, at 11 30 Orville Rinehart
stepped on the stage and called for
order.
"Gentlemen of the convention, he
shouted, "it has been decided by the
Hearst and anti-Hearst factions to
submit our difficulties to an arbitra
tion committee of five. Two shall be
named from the Hearst ranks two
from the anti-Hearst ranks, and these
four shall select a fifth to act as ref
eree. This committee shall listen to
all protests in regard to the legality
of delegates and for acceptance of del
egates who shall vote on the roll call
for preliminary organization." And,
turning to Edward E. Stevens, anti
Hearst leader at his side, Rinehart
asked. "Is this not all right, Mr. Stev-
ens?"
"We agree to this," responded Mr.
Stevens.
Arbitrators Begin Work.
The convention was then adjourned
till 12 o'clock to permit the arbitration
committee to do Its work. The com
mittee was composed of W. H. Wil
liams and Orville Rinehart for the
Hearst faction, E. A. Stevens and
James O'Brien for the antis These
four selected Judge Pond for fifth
member and referee. Then came a
delay in finding Judge Pond. He
could not be located at the court
house, nor was he at his home. It
was 1 o'clock before he was finally
found and brought to Normanna hall.
All morning two prominent figures
In the crowded convention hall were
Elijah Barton, the county chairman,
and Major J. M. Bowler, his victim.
Major Bowler wore his straw hat so
as to oover the long strips of court
plaster on the gash received in yes
terday's fracas. Several times Barton
and Bowler passed each other, rub
bing shoulders in the crowd, but
neither man could see the other.
Hearst Victory Claimed.
At the opening of the arbitration
committee's work, Hearst delegates
began winning. Duplicate delegates
Hearst and anti-Hearst selections
presented credentials from the fourth
precinct of the fifth ward, fifth of the
fifth ward, ninth of the eighth ward,
and eighth of the fourth ward. The
contest in the fifth of the fifth ward
was soon Bettled in favor of the Hearst
delegation. The Hearst men proved
they were elected at a regular caucus,
altho not at the officially designated
place. The anti men withdrew. The
two Hearst delegates from the village
of Excelsior and the two from the
town of Excelsior, also won out, prov
ing they were elected at caucuses that
the anti-Hearst man giving the cau
cuses noticesJohn Lindhad never
posted them and that the anti dele
gates were not elected at a caucus.
The filing of credentials with the
arbitration committee also showed
that in six city precincts, no delegates
were elected, either Hearst or anti
Hearst. These unrepresented precincts
were the third precinct of the sec
ond ward, fourteenth of the fifth
ward, first of the sixth ward, fifth and
eighth precincts of the seventh ward,
and the third of the tenth ward.
This afternoon during the session of
the committee, which was executive,
the Hearst men were loudly claiming

EAST CLINGS TO
CLEVELAND IDOL
Stampede to Former President Is
Planned for St. Louis Con
vention.
Special to The Journal.
Chicago, June 11.Walter Wellman
in a New York special to the Record
Herald says.
That a great effort is to be made to
stampede the St. Louis convention into
the nomination of former President
Cleveland is the understanding of most
politicians and financiers in the east.
Nearly every Important man one
meets In this city, whether he be
prominent In politics or in corpora
tions or banking, and therefore more
or less in touch with politicians and
politics, expresses an opinion of which
the following is a fair sample:
"I think Judge Parker will be the
nominee of the St. Louis convention,
provided the plan to bring Grover
Cleveland forward and rush him thru
does not win."
The widespread opinion that Mr.
Cleveland's nomination is a possibil
ity, and many think it a probability,
Is actually one of the noteworthy fea
tures of political discussion in the east.
I have heard so much of it that I
tried to learn where and with whom
the movement to name Mr. Cleveland
was to start and who was to put his
along.
Here appears another peculiar fea
ture of tfre gossip of the hour which
one hears on all sides. No one is able
to answer that question. No one
knows who is going to start the ball
rolling No one knows where the votes
are coming from to nominate the for
mer president. No one in control of
votes appears to have the Cleveland
boom in charge, and yet everyone, or
nearly everyone, is looking with con
fidence to see such an effort made in
the convention, somehow, by some
body.
Some of these men with whom I
have talked think Cleveland's nomin
ation is a possibility. Others go a lit
tle farther and express the opinion
that it is a probability. This is par
ticularly true among bankers and
financial people with whom obviously
the wish is father to the thought.
Politicians and men who know the
political game do not know how the
Cleveland business can be made to
work, and are skeptical as to the prac
ticability of giving the effort to nom
inate the ex-president a fair start at
St. Louis.
In the absence of another evidence
of the existence of real persons with
actual votes behind the Cleveland
talk one is compelled to adopt the lat
ter view. About Cleveland there is no
end of talk, but all the probabilities
are it will remain talk and nothing but
talk to the end.
POP LEADER FOR ROOSEVELT
Former Senator Marion Butler Says
President Is Sure of Re-election.
From The Journal Bureau, Colorado Building,
Washington.
Washington, June 11.Former Sen
ator Marion Butler, chairman of the
national committee of the populist
party since 1896, says the political
Jig Is up and that Roosevelt will win
the next election hands down.
"President Roosevelt will be elect
ed without any trouble whatever,"
said Mr. Butler to-day. "He is the
people's choice, because they believe
him to be honest and beyond the
reach of corrupt influence of the
trusts and the millionaires who have
been in control of the republican
party for years. His strong, sturdy
Americanism commends him to re
publicans, democrats and populists
alike and many of the members of
the democratic and people's party
will vote for him. I have been travel
ing in the west and south lately, and
learned the sentiment of men in my
party and the democratic party from
personal conversation with them."
Discussing democratic possibilities
Mr. Butler said that the St. Louis con
vention will not nominate Gorman.
The Marylander, he said, is not the
strong, shrewd political leader he
was four and eight years ago, but has
recently adopted the method of criti
cism of the majority party, and has
lost prestige with the democratic
workers on that account. Mr. But
ler also said he believed If the gold
bug wing of the democratic party
controlled affairs at St. Louis, suc
ceeded in nominating a man of their
own belief, and adopted a platform in
which silver was not mentioned, Bry
an would bolt, because the elimina
tion of the silver issue would mean
the elimination of Bryan from public
life.

Drowning to Escape.
Glenwood Springs, Col., June 11.
Sheriff Adams has returned here and
reported that the Denver & Rio
Grande train robbers are surrounded
in a patch of brush at the east side
of the junction of Divide Creek and
the Grand river.
A posse of 100 deputies is picketed
at the place and he expressed the be
lief that it was impossible for the men
to escape except by swimming the
Grand river.
An attempt to do that, he said,
seemed almost certain death as the
river at that point is nearly half a
mile wide and has a tremendous cur
rent.
The hunted men have not been able
to obtain food anywhere during the
past thirty-six hours and must be al
most at the point of starvation.
100 LAKE STEAMERS

Cleveland, June 11.It was stated
by President Livingstone that the

Livingstone said the situation from
the vessel owners' viewpoint to-day
was very encouraging.
"We believe," he added, "that the
situation will improve rapidly from
now on."
District Captain Howell of the Mas

EARL GREY CANADA'S

that Earl Grey, lord lieutenant of*
Northumberland, has been appointed
to succeed the Earl of Minto as gov

Grey is a brother-in-law of Lord

ment will not be made for some time.
FORJA
Once more interest has shifted from Port 'Arthur to Manchuria, where a
general forward movement is in process of execution by the Japanese army.
This morning's official news from the Japanese first army is regarded as record-
ing the most important operations by the victors of the Yalu since the crossing
of that river and the occupation of Fang-huang-cheng.
By a linked series of practically simultaneous movements, extending be-
tween extreme points something like a hundred miles apart as the crow flies,
General Kuroki has at once intrenched himself upon the flank and thrown him-
self across the front of his adversary's position.
General Kuropatkin could not have moved southward under any circum-
stances without exposing his base, but even if he could protect his communica-
tions at Mukden, he could not, according to opinion, break thru the forces that
bar his path without fighting and winning the greatest battle since Sedan.
Meanwhile the Japanese are believed to have been conducting important
operations around Port Arthur, but they have carefully and completely hidden
their movements.
Port Arthur is securely invested. General Kuropatkin and the czar's main
army are almost as securely contained. General Oku has tightened his
tling grip upon the throat of the doomed fortress. General Kuroki in the north
has taken effectual measures to insure that the siege shall be pushed on without
disturbance.

ABNER MCKINLEY,
Brother of the Late President, Who
Died Suddenly.
Someset, Pa., June 11.Abner Mc
Kinley, brother of the late president,
was found dead in a chair in his home
at 8 o'clock this morning.
His death came without warning to
his family.
His colored servant, who slept in his
room, was up with him at 2 o'clock
and it is not known at what time Mr.
McKinley got up again as he did not
waken his servant.
Mrs. McKinley walked into his room
at 8 o'clock and found him sitting in
a chair cold and apparently dead.
A physician was summoned who
said death had probably occurred two
or three hours before.
Mr. McKinley has suffered from
Bright's disease for several years.
Abner McKinley was engaged in the
practice of law in Canton, Ohio, until
about fifteen years ago, when he re
moved to New York. He had a
country house at Somerset, Pa., and
spent much time there. A widow and
one daughter, Mrs. Mabel McKinley
Baer, survive him.

SEWER EXPLOSION
City Engineer's Life the Price of
Meeting Gas With Gasolene
Torch.
Chicago. June 11.By an explosion
to-day in a huge sewer being construct
ed along Thirty-ninth street, four men
were killed, manholes were blown up
for many blocks, the street is badly
torn, and a frame building demolished.
An accumulation of sewer gas appar
ently caused the explosion.
Three workmen, accompanied by
City Engineer Guy Miltimore, who
carried a gasolene torch, were going
down into the sewer when they en
countered sewer gas and the explosion
followed. All four men were killed
and their bodies were entombed.
In addition to sewer gas it is
thought possible that petroleum had
leaked into the sewer, as for fifteen
minutes after the explosion fire burned
fiercely. It was two hours before a
serious attempt could be made to res
cue the bodies.
FRESH MEAT PRICES

Kansas City.Mo.,June 11.Freshmeat
which had been stationary in price for
a few days began to advance again
Thursday and made another Jump yes
terdy. Beef is from to 1 cent a
pound higher than last week. The
butchers think the packers are getting
ready to make some new deals and
need the money. Since the sale of the
independent Ruddy Brothers* plant to
the combination there has been a cor
responding reduction in the opposition
which makes it easier for the trust to
boost prices. The butchers have been
standing the raises so far but to-day
they began to charge them to con
sumers.

PORT ARTHUR ON
EYE OF ASSAULT
Reinforcements Reach Japanese
and Final Storming Is Be
lieved Imminent.
Liao-yang, Russian Headquarters,
June 11.Reports from Chinese
sources are to the effect that the Jap
anese forces near Port Arthur have
been heavily reinforced. It is believed
that an attempt to take the fortress
by assault will be made as soon as the
Japanese are strong enough to invest it
on the land side and at the same time
protect themselves from possible at
tack in the rear in case the Russians
sent a force from the north.
There are persistent rumors again
that the Port Arthur squadron has
succeeded in making a sortie but no
official confirmation of the report is
obtainable.
The Russian reinforcements on their
way here will soon materially change
the situation and enable General Ku
ropatkin to move freely.
General Kuroki's main army is still
at Feng-huang-cheng. Russian out
posts cover his right flank above Sai
ma-tzsa and extending eastward. They
are in constant touch with the enemy
and there are almost daily skirmishes
of more or less importance. "Develop
ments are anticipated in this direc
tion.
EXPECT JAP TRIUMPH
European Bourses as Indications of
Conditions in Far East.
Speoial to The Journal.
New York, June 11.A cablegram
from London says the European
bourses, the best barometer in old
world international affairs, show con
ditions favorable to the Japanese. On
all leading exchanges, toward the end
of the week, there has been a rise
in Japanese securities. In London
financial circles the triumph of the
mikado is looked upon as practically
assured.
In Paris the official view of Rus
sia's ability to cope with the "veno
moiis dwarfs" is becoming pessimistic.
German military critics pronounce
Kuropatkin's position perilous in the
extreme.
Europe, outside of Russia, will not
be surprised to see the fall of Port
Arthur followed by a great reverse
to Kuropatkin at Liao-yang.
No credence is given to talk of the
Black sea fleet passing the Darda
nelles, and the reiterated announce
ment that the Baltic fleet will sail
for the east in September is regarded
as spectacular bravado.
A cablegram from London says the
Russian ambassador and the whole
staff of the Russian embassy begged
to be excused from attending the
state ball given at Buckingham pal
ace last night on account of the anx
iety thru which their country is pass
ing.
JAPS HAVE KEY POSITION
Important Strategic Points Taken by
General Kuroki's Forces.
New York Sun Special Servioe.
Tokio, June 11.General Yama
guchi ..announces that since Tuesday
four columns of the first army corps
had advanced on the road toward Hai
cheng and Liao-yang. The first col
umn moving on Liao-yang engaged
the Russians on Tuesday evening at
Lian-shan, and the northerly column
defeated a strong force on Wednesday
at Sen-suila, fifteen milos northwest
of Sa-ma-Ja.
The most significant engagement
was northwest of Siu-yen, twenty-five
miles from Hai-cheng. The Japanese
force defeated a Russian forc of
4,000 cavalry, six battalions of infan
try and an artillery force of six guns,
driving the Russians in two divisions
one west to Kai-ping and the other
northwest toward Hai-cheng.
The Russian loss was more than
100, the Japanese losing three killed
with two officers and twenty-eight
men wounded. A number of Russian
officers were captured.
The town of Slu-yen, now occupied
by the Japanese army, is of great
strategetlcal importance being situ
ated about forty miles northeast of
Kai-ping and forty-five miles south
east of Hai-cheng. It commands per
fectly the roads to both places.
Saimatsza is also an important
point, as it controls the roads to Liao
yang and Mukden. By following this
route the Miao-tin-ling pass, a strong
ly fortified and almost impregnable
Russian stronghold, will be avoided on
the advance of the Japanese army
northward.
Official reports show uniform Jap
anese success, but their casualties are
larger than in former operations.

in chaige of half a hundred Colorado
militiamen were literally dumped into
Kansas to-day and left destitute upon Jfl
the prairie. With a parting volley %m
fired into the air, the militiamen de- %?M
serted their charges and returned i$|
west. ff}
Later the unfortunate miners were ^k
turned back to Colorado by an armed
Kansas sheriff and forty deputies.
The miners had been placed on the
train, whica was a special made up i
by the authorities in control of the|H
disturbed Colorado town, and in.^1
charge of well-armed rmltiamen. i
started for the east late yesterday.
At La Junta Col., where the first"
stop was made, the cars were closely Jt^
guarded. The miners were not per-%
mitted to leave the cars nor were any
of the hundred or so men who gath-,
ered at the station allowed to com
municate with them.
When a point in Kansas half a miler?*i
east of the Colorado state line was ^f
reached early to-day, a halt was made. **3|
It was a deserted spot on the wild?!
prairie with no railway station, eat
ing house nor farmer's house within^
several miles. *',4
Without delay the men were dls-?***
embarked, the engine was reversed,-t
and the militiamen reboraded the
train. Colonel L. W. Kennedy, the of- $
fleer in command of the guard, in
structed the miners plainly that they -*s
were not wanted in Colorado and told
them they had better go east. Half a
dozen of the soldiers fired a volley Into
the air to intimidate the men and the
train started west with the miltia
men.
While the miners were deciding
upon what they would do Sheriff John
Brady of Hamilton county, Kansas,
and forty armed deputies arrived on
the scene and ordered the unhappy
men, back, to Colorado. Tbrjee of the
miners had already started east afoot.
The others""retraced their steps at the
command of the Kansas officers along
the railroad track westward.
After a long, weary tramp they
straggled into Holly, Col., a small
town near the Colorado-Kansas
boundary, where they were furnished
food at the big Salvation Army station

The miners say that in embarking
in Colorado yesterday they were driv

expecting transportation from Den
ver so that they may return to-night.
They seem to be well supplied with
money and peaceable.
Most of the men have families. They
say that their wives and children

BELL TO CLEAN COLORADO
Military Leader Says Unionists Most
Leave State.
Special to The Journal.
Chicago, June 11.The Tribune
publishes the following this morning:
Cripple Creek, Col., June 10.You
want to know what the condition ia
in Teller county. Here it is: The
Cripple Creek district is cleaned up
and there will be no more trouble in
the vicinity.
It took drastic measures to accom
plish this, but it has been done. I
reached Victor at 2 o'clock Wednes
day morning. With me I carried a,
proclamation of martial law signed by|
the acting governor, Warren A. Hag
got. I was to make it public if in
my opinion the conditions Justified.
I found things in a most threat-,
ening condition. Indignant citizens
men of the law-and-order class, men
who yield to nobody in their respect
for the lawhad taken things into
their own hands. They ruled the dis
trict with an iron hand.
For years they had been under the
dominance of city and county offi
cials who are either members of or
sympathizers with the Federation of
Miners. They had submitted to par
tiality in the enforcement of the law,
to dastardly explosions and dynamit
ing, to attempted train-wrecking and
wholesale murders, and never_ once
had they taken the law into their
own hands.
Crime Brought Crisis.
The awful crime of Monday morn
ing, when fourteen men, whose only
crime had been that of working in
defiance of a gang of murderers and
dynamiters, met their^ death by a
premeditated explosion of dynamite,
brought matters to a crisis. Law
abiding citizens, business men and
property owners, realized that either
they Or the members of the federa
tion must leave the camp. There was
not room for both, and they proceed
ed to force the other men out.
And I don't blame them. "i gg
Early Wednesday morning I issued:
the proclamation of martial law. Then
I went to work to clean up the dis
trict.
My agents reported the presence of
a large number of union agitators at
Dunnville, the new mining camp, ten
miles from Cripple Creek. Wednes
day afternoon I left for there with 160
deputies and soldiers.
The union men ambushed jis, and
for twenty minutes a battle raged.
The elevation from which they were
shooting destroyed their aim, and
that was all that saved my men.
I sent detachments up the cliffs and
nineteen of the union men were taken
prisoners. One, a noted agitator
named Carley, kept up the firing and
was shot and killed.

^On my return to Victor I took up
