GREEN RIVER, Wyo., June 13.—Every
thing goes smoothly with the California
delegation to the national convention. A
rainstorm preceded the train - and les
sened the dust at night over the Nevada
Desert. The delegation is a poor one for
doing politics. Everything is discussed
but politics. M. A. Gunst received a dis
patch from the San Francisco Associated
Press correspondent asking If there would
be any meeting of the delegation caucus
or other ' political action en route. -Mr.
Gunst immediately wired 'back 1 that
nothing would be v done until .-reaching
Philadelphia and every one -had an, op
portunity to be present and be heard. M.
A. Gunst has shown his usual hospitality
and thoughtfulness by carrying with
him a large stock of the best brands of
smoking materials and seeing that all are
kept amply supplied. W. M. ¦ Garland of
Los Angeles was mentioned prior to his
departure by a Los Angeles paper upon
the proposition of r soliciting- drinkables
for the delegation -to entertain -with i in
Philadelphia, i Mr..- Garland states that
prior to his leaving Los Angeles he took
the pledge of total abstinence to please
the editors. He reports to his friends that
he Is keeping it. In fact the delegation
has not been worked up to drinking any
thing stronger than - a delicious mild
punch brewed by ..Delegates .Cone and
Powers and passed around, much to the
delight of all.
Delegates Are Enjoying the Trip
and Talk Anything but
Politics.

REPUBLICANS EN ROUTE
TO THE CONVENTION
Accompanied by Mr. Griscom Senator
Hanna left the city at 4 o'clock for Haver
ford, a suburb, where he spent the night
at Mr. Griscom's house. Although Mr.
Hanna has a suite of rooms at the Strath
ford Hotel It Is believed that he will-spend
all his nights at Haverford while the con
vention lasts.
.Conspicuous among the absent commll
teemen was ex-Senator M. S. Quay of
Pennsylvania, Mr. Quay's proxy Is held
by Senator Penrose. ' *
Outside of the national committee meet-
Ing Interest was centered on Senator
Hanna. It. was generally known that he
would arrive at 1 o'clock and there was
a goodly crowd at the station to see the
famous national chairman. Senator Hanna
was met at the station by Clement A.
Griscom, president of the International
Navigation Company, and they lunched
together In a restaurant on Broad street
while a crowd of admirers without doors
looked on.
The influx of visitors to-day was quite
large, considering that the date of the
meeting of the convention Is nearly a
week off. Almost every State and Ter
ritory is already represented here. Only
three or four of the national committee
men are absent and their places are being
filled by proxies from their respective
States.
The evening session of the committee
was devoted to the Delaware contest. The
committee continued its session until 12:05
when a decision was reached to refer the
Delaware controversy to a committee with
instructions to harmonize the differences
of the two parties if possible. The com
mittee consists of Payne of Wisconsin,
Cummings of Iowa. Saunders of Colorado
and Iceland of Kansas.
The Delaware Contest.
The resolution was the subject of much
discussion among the other contesting
delegations present, and District Attorney
Atwell of Dallas. Tex., sought out the
Associated Press to ask that a statement
be made in behalf of his State that the
question of Federal patronage had not en
tered into the contest there.
In presenting the resolution Mr. Payne
said that he introduced it because of the
evident pernicious activity of the office
holders \n the campaign, and that he be
lieved it would be a very serious mistake
for the committee to fail to ask that
official recognition be taken of this infrac
tion of the laws of the country. The com
mittee had, however, agreed to take a re
cess after the disposal of the Alabama
cases, and some of the members Insisted
that as it was then half past 7 o'clock
this decision should be adhered to. Ac
cordingly the committee dissolved for the
time, Mr. Payne requesting that action
be postponed until to-morrow.
Activity of Office Holders.
Immediately after this action ha<i been
tRken Committeeman Payne, who had
been acting as temporary chairman, in
troduced the following resolution:
Resolved. That this committee requests the
Prerldent of the I.'nited States to direct the
proper officers to cause an Investigation Into
the acts and dnlngs of certain Federal office
holders in the State of Alabama in connection
with the election of Heleftates to the primnry
conventions and to the State and district con
ventions held In said State to elect delegates
to the National Convention, to be held in Phila
delphia on the 19tli fnst., and If the facts as
stated in the hearing h^ld before said com
mittee regarding the contest In said district
and Stste be true, this committee asks, not In
the Interest of the Republican party, but of the
countr.v. that such action t-Jiall be taken as the
good of the putllc Interest requires.
tremely active in shaping the result of
contests for delegates.
In the State contest there were two fac
tions, one of which was known as the
Vaughan faction, represented by District
Attorney Vaughan and the other headed
by District Attorney Wickersham. The
technical grounds of the contest had.ref
erence to the regularity and Irregularity
of the two delegations. Mr. Vaughan is
now chairman of the State Central Com
mittee, and notwithstanding that he has
held the position for the past two terms,
is a candidate for re-election. The contro
versy grew out of hie renewed aspirations.
So palpable did it become that Federal
patronage [was the point over which the
contention arose that the committee was
not long in reaching a decision to prac
tically exclude all the contesting delegates
from the temporary organization of the
convention except those from the Ninth
District. ¦ . .
The Native Sons have centered all their
efforts on making' the ball Friday night
worthy of the occasion and members of
the Grand Parlor are looking forward to
It with great expectations.
for the feelings of their hostesses. It was
suggested that a trusteeship be offered,
but this was indignantly spurned and the
tight goes merrily on.
The friends of candidates were seen last
night visiting around the hotel rooms lonjr
after midnight when delegates were tired
•from having attended the reception am!
banquet. A lady, than whom none Is mor»
popular or Influential, said to-day that
Mrs. EllaCaminetti has never had a ghost
of a chance for vice president since tb,o
presentation of the silverware by Ursula
Parlor to Mrs. Slfford. The custom Is not
new, but the gift was so rich and elegant
that the jealousy aroused has made Mrs.
Camlnettl an impossibility.

"i have said when asked whether Mr.

That Is the way I feel. As for Mr. Bliss,
he is an admirable man, but he is out of
the question: he cannot accept. Senator
Allison, well, I came over on the train with
him and he is absolute in his refusal.
There is no doubt of his sincerity— in not
wanting the placo. And as a matter of
fact, we cannot spare him from his pres
ent place in the Senate. He is worth a
dozen of us other fellows there."
"What are Dollivcr's chances?"
"Mr. Dolllvcr is an avowed candidate,
and he had a good following among his

there Is as yet no approach to a settle

Senator Kanna was asked, after his ar
rival, whether it was true that the Presi
dent had a candidate for the Vice Presi
dency.
"There is no truth in that report," he
paid, "none, whatever. The President will
not Interfere. He has no candidate."
"Then, who is your candidate?" he was
asked. ¦
"I have none. My. only desire is to get
the best man."
"You are quoted as being opposed to
Mr. Woodruff?"
PHILADELPHIA, June 13.-Next to
the committee meeting the feature of in
terest to-day was the arrival of Chairman
Hanna, who reached here at 1 o'clock.
The chairman* was met at Broad street
by a committee of citizens and escorted
to the Hotel Walton. As soon as he
reached his rooms, Mr. Hanna was be
sieged by callers, who came in a steady
stream.
HANNA TALKS ABOUT
THE VICE PRESIDENCY
At Ogden several reporters interviewed
the -delegates on the subject of Vice
President and if the delegation was go
ing to support Irving M. Scott. From the
answer of the 'delegates it may be In
ferred that California will not be a unit
for Scott. There is also talk of holding
an informal caucus after leaving Chicago,
It being expected that some other of the
delegates may join the party at Chi
cago. The caucus would be for the pur
pose of suggesting some names fox the
various committees. ¦ - ¦>• - v--
The train reached Ogden on time and
after a short etop the delegates bade
adieu to the Southern Pacinc and started
along over the Union Pactnc. The after
noon was made cool and refreshing by a
gentle summer shower, which laid the
dust and tempered the atmosphere. The
ladies of the party. Mrs. Pardee. Mrs.
Cone and Mrs. Powers, form a happy lit
tle trio and chat along as only ladles
can. Genial Harry Wllliar of San Fran
cisco, the Pacific Coast representative of
the leading paper companies of the East,
is on the train, and is almost Inseparable
from the delegation. After leaving Gran

Everything "looks most favorable for
tho election of Judge Van Fleet for na

DEMOCRATS BREAK SLATES
AND NEARLY BREAK HEADS
"I think no man who has made any
contribution to the campaign will say that
he has been subjected to the least coercion,
morally or otherwise. • No one has been
asked to contribute any stated sum or any
portion of his salary, and if any such
statements have been made they were
made by persona who have not. so far,
visited these headquarters. The fact that
it was decided to open a convenient place
where contributions might be made by
employes was owing to the voluntary
¦practice of many to offer campaign con
tributions, either in the shape of money
or clerical or other work at the Republi
can headquarters. There was never any
system about it. and on this account the
members of the House decided to open
rooms at some central point for a few
days, where the employes might contrib
ute and cret a receipt for' their money.
These men are not under civil service
rules and are not assessed. A great many
of them have heretofore complained that
there was no recognized committee room
and no one authorized to receive contribu
tions. This year it ¦was decided to give
the generously inclined no such excuse
and they were notified that they might
call at the Raleigh, whrre they were told
that anything they might feel inclined to
give would be thankfully received."
WASHINGTON. June 13.— The Post to
morrow will publish an article stating
that the Republican Congressional cam
paign committee- has been endeavoring to
collect as a campaign contribution a part
of the extra month's salary voted to the
employes of Congress just before adjourn
ment. The employes were Informed that
any contribution would be voluntary and
many of them paid no heed to the com
munication, while others made a small
contribution, so that«the amount collected
will not exceed $1200 or $1500. instead of
$10,000 or more, as has been expected. The
extra month's salary voted to employes
of Congress in accordance with a custom
'observed by both political parties when
In power amounted in the aggregate to
about 580,000. The Republican employes
were requested by note to call on Mr.
Schrader at the Raleigh Hotel. Mr. Schra
der was assistant secretary of the Con
gressional committee in the last cam
paign. When the employes called they
were asked for campaign contributions
and any inquiries as to the amounts, the
Post will say, were answered with tho
suggestion that half of their extra
month's pay would be acceptable, but
that contributions would be voluntary and
the giver could fix tne amount. The
amounts given ran all the way from $5
to $10, and in one instance, the Post will';
say, to a wholo month's salary.
Many employes, learning from others
the purpose of the note sent them, did
not call, so that tho total contribution
was much smaller than expected. Mr.
Schrader, when seen regarding the mat
ter, made the following statement:

PHILADELPHIA, June 13.-With the
arrival of the advance guard and
the opening session of the National
Republican Committee to-day Phila
delphia has begun to assume a con
vention air. The committee had its first
formal meeting to-day at the Hotel Wal
ton and immediately began consideration
j of contests for membership of the conven.
tion. Practically the only contests of Im
portance are those from Delaware and
Tennessee, though developments this aft
ernoon have accentuated the Alabama
case. From Delaware Mr. Addicks is
again serkine: admission and the fight is
especially ijiteresting because of the bear
ing it may have upon the election of two
Senators next winter. The " friends of
Pension Commissioner Evans and Repre
sentative Brownlow of Tennessee are
fighting: for control of the Republican or
ganization of that State and both are on j
the ground. As is the case in the Ten- !
r.cfsre contest, the main point involved in
all of the other contests is the control of
the local organization.
The contests from Alabama consumed
the entire afternoon and resulted In a de
cision by the committee not to place the
names of any of the contesting delegates
of either faction on the temporary rolls
of the convention, except those from the
Ninth District. The action of the com
mittee was controlled largely by the fact
developed in the hearing that Federal of
fice holders have taken a very active part
on both sides of the controversy in shap
ing the result. This circumstance was. In
deed, so persistently brought out that
Acting Chairman Payne Introduced a res
olution- late in the session calling upon
the President to have their participation
investigated.
As to the Vice Presidency.
. Practically the only topic of conversa
tion-among the Republican leaders who
have arrived in Philadelphia is the ques
tion of the selection ot a candidate for
the Vice Presidency. Senator Hanna has
devoted almost the entire time since his
arrival to this question and has been in
frequent conference with other leaders on
the subject. He says absolutely that no
candidate has yet been selected either by
the President, by hJmself or by any one
for them. During the noon recess of the
committee Senator Hanna held a pro
longed conference with Senator Scott of
West Virginia, Hon. Joseph Manley and
Henry B. Payne, probably the three old
est members of the National Committee,
in point of service. When they dispersed
all agreed that the question of the Vice
Presidency was still open. There was a
general confession of concern over the
situation, but at the same time a feeling
that in the end the right man would be
found. . . •
"We want," said a member of this quar
tet, "a man for Vice President who would
be a big enough man for President in
case the necessity should arise for him
to become such. We don't care- where he
comes from. We will waive the geo
graphical question if we can get the right
man in other respects."
This statement expresses the general
sentiment among the members of the
committee.
Hanna Will Not Preside.
National Chairman Hanna will probably
not preside at any of the meetings of the
National Committee. He will be very
busy with other matters and Mr. Payne,
who occupied the chair at to-day's meet
ing, will continue to act as chairmaji.
A practical and thorough test was made
of the acoustic properties of the conven
tion hall this afternoon. Members of the
National Committee and the local organi
zations that have taken part in the prepa
ration of the building for convention pur
poses assembled and listened to test
speeches made by Mayor Ashbridge, Ser
geant-at-Arms Wiswell, Chairman Dob
bins of the building committee and others.
The band was in the place it will occupy
during the convention and men were sta
tioned in the remote sections of the hall
to listen to the 6peeches and music. All
reported that the acoustics were every
thing that could be desired.
The National Committee requests that
the different State delegations will act
promptly in designating the members. to
fill the following places:
Chairman of the delegation, secretary of
the delegation, vice president of the con
vention, member of committee on creden
tials, member of committee on permanent
organization, member of committee on
rules, member of committee on resolu
tions. National Committeeman," member of
the committee to notify the nominee for
President, member of the committee to
notify the nominee for Vice President.
Meeting of the Committee.
The Republican National Committee
met at the Hotel "Walton at noon to-day
and Immediately began the investigation
of contest cases preparatory to the forma
tion of the temporary roll for the National
Convention- Senator Hanna was not pres
ent when, the committee was convened,
and Henry C. Payne, member from
Wisconsin, was chosen to preside in "his
place. Senator Hanna came on from
Washington about half past 1. but did not
assume the duties of the chair during the
afternoon.
The entire afternoon session was de
voted to hearing the recital of testimony
and to arguments in the contest from the
State of Alabama. There yrere seven con
tests from that State, including: those over
the representation from the State at large
and those from the Second, Third, Fourth
Fifth, Seventh and Ninth districts.
The newspaper representatives, as well
as the public at large, were excluded from
the room In which the, committee sat •
The hearing in the main- consisted ' of
recitals of petty 'acts of bribery and of
Intimidation from both sides "of the con
troversies, and in some cases affidavits
were read in which the witnesses had tes
tified on both sides of the case, giving
absolutely contradictory testimony. The
principal developments of the day, how

THE NATIVE DAUGHTERS
IN FRIENDLY RIVALRY
Says Chicago Platform Should Be Re
affirmed. With Trust and Impe
rialism Clauses Added.
CHICAGO. June 13.— William Jennings
Bryan was in Chicago to-day and the
center of much political discussion, all of
it bearing on what may be done at the
Democratic National Convention next
month.
Mr. Uryan saw scores of people during
the day. H e talked "business" with Sen
ator Jones, chairman of the Democratic
National Committee; J. G. Johnson, head
of the executive committee; Charles A.
Walsh, secretary of the National Com
mittee, and Daniel J. Campau, national
committee-man from Michigan.
The platform to be adopted at Kansas
City and the Vice Presidential <juestirm.
especially the Towne Populist nomination
engle of It, were considered at some
lengrth. On the question of platform, the
trend of discussion forecasted to some ex
tent the difference? of opinion which may
arise at Kansas City, even among loyal
Bryan men. The question is whether the
money pla.nk and other leg-acies from 18IW
rhall be handled by reaffirmation of the
Chicago platform in a lump or whether
some planks from the 1K<6 platform, and
especially the money plank, shall be re
written. Mr. Bryan favors rewriting much
of the IS&ti platform this year. '
Senator Jones, according to credible ad
vices, advocates reaffirmation of th«* Chi
cago platform as a whole and then a
quick transition to the newer issues of
Imperialism and trusts.
"I Bay as I have said before -so manv
times." Mr. Bryan replied, when asked
what he thought the platform and issues
this year should be, "that I think the
three bii? questions before us are monev,
trusts and Imperialism. The money ques
tion, of course, includes the question of
silver and of paper money. The question
of imperialism includes militarism and the
policy of which our national administra
tion's wr.rk in the Philippines and attitude'
on the Boer question are samples.
¦ "I hrlleve the principles adopted in the
platform of 1S36 were adopted at? a part
of the party creed, never to be departed
Trcnn. 1 don't think they should be or
ran be departed from this year. That
platform must, however, be added to as
new issues aris<». As I don't expect to be
a. delegate to the National Convention, I
cannot presume to discuss the form Jn
vhich these principles shall t-e stated in
the platform to be adopted there:
"I cannot undertake to say what will
be the paramount issue. No man can.
One thinks one question is the biggest and
«n«-«ther man thinks another is."
The followlfjr statements by TV. J.
Bryan and Chairman Jones of the Demo
cratic National Committee will be pub
lished by the Tribune to-morrow:
1 "Money, imperialism and trusts will be
the three preat issues in the Democratic
platform. Money includes silver and pa
p*r. Imperialism carries with It militar
ism and thft Boer war. The contest in
Pouth Africa is one where Imperialism is
row Fpeclfically applied, and therefore It
concerns the people of this country. The
Chicago platform will be reaffirmed and
the new issues that have arisen added
to Its principles. I have not been asked

not a candidate for Vice President, and I
will not accept if nominated at Philadel

porter upon his return to this city from

he had been to make nn address In con
nection with the unveiling of a soldiers'

continued:
, "J *"¦«• that my name is being mentioned

of which the Governor was largely re
sponsible.
