i rally quelled by Mr. Walker, of Illinois, taking the platform and addressing the convention tn the interest of harmony. After he was defeated on his motion to refer nominations and other decisive action to the national committee, Mr. Palmer attempted t-peatedly to get the floor on a question of personal privilege. He was interrupted by Dr. Fay and a chorus of other objectors, v, ho insisted on proceeding with nominations. At this juncture the disturbance of the small crowd became so fierce that Mr. Hazebitt. manager of the Lyceum, appeared and requested the assemblage to vacate the hall, as he was apprehensive of the security of his property. The Butler sac tion, led by Mr. Palmer, of Illinois, then left the hall and the other faction proceeded with the nominations. After numerous nominating and seconding speeches in presenting two names for presidential candidates a ballot was taken, resulting as follows: Wharton Barker, of Pennsylvania, 128 4-5; Ignatius Donnelly, of Minnesota, 99 1-5. On motion of Mr. Doni:elly the nomination of Mr. Barker was made unanimous. Ignatius Donnelly was then nominated by acclamation for Vice President. Avery long platform was adopted which incorporates the provisions of the Omaha platform as well as the address adopted at the morning session. The declarations in the platform do not differ from those of other platforms, except in the plank which especially denounces Senutor Marion Butler, of North Carolina, as chairman of their national committee, for attempting “to drive the Populist party into the Democratic organization.” The resolutions also provide for the reorganization of the party with Milton Park, cf Dallas. Tex., as chairman. The bolting delegates said they were instructed not to participate in the nomination of a ticket. The convention adjourned without fixing any time or place for another convention and they consider their campaign for ISO 9 now opened. The most important action of the convention was the adoption of the referendum system as the cardinal principle in the future of the government of the reorganized party. After, the nominations had been made a resolution was offered by Captain Frank Burkett, of Mississippi, providing that the nominations Just made be referred to a referendum of the voters of the People’s party of all States and Territories, and that said leferendum be taken In accordance with the rules adopted by this convention for the future government of the People's party. These rules constitute a radical substitute for those adopted at St. Louis in 1896. The main change provides that the new People's party should never again hold a delegate convention of any sort, national, state, district or local, but that the nomi-* nations for all offices shall be made through "the Initiative and referendum or petitions Indorsed by popular vote.” Another supplemental resolution was adopted providing that the new national committee, of which Milton Park is chairman, shall take sich action as it may find necessary in the courts or otherwise to see that the names of all the candidates of the People's party in all localities shall appear In the regular and legally-prescribed ballots. 1 THE BOLTERS’ ADDRESS. Those who followed Palmer, of Illinois, out. of the convention afterward held a conference and appointed Jo A. Parker, of Kentucky, James E. Mcßride, of Michigan, James H. Ferris, of Illinois, and Horace Merritt, of Tennessee, a committtee to draft another address. This committee reported the following, which was unanimously adopted by the bolters: "To the' People's party of the United States—On behalf of our delegates who attended the meeting called at Cincinnati by some old members of the People’s party we submit the following protest to the action of that body: "We attended the convention for the purpose of preserving harmony among those who espoused the straight, pure and simple People’s party doctrine. But those who controlled the convention were prompted by some purpose provoking them to override every effort made to promote the interests of the party. The convention proceeded properly to establish a referendum tystem through which nominees of the party for the several offices could be selected by the members of the party voting in their respective precincts. When we sought to have the national central and national organization committees put the programme into effect within an hour they refused, disregarding the plan adopted by themselves, and immediately proceeded to the nomination of President and Vice President, and by their action we believe they have placed themselves outside the regular organization of the People’s party and created for themselves anew party. Thereupon quite onehalf the delegates withdrew, preferring to remain loyal to the People s party and wtiling' to trust future developments to remedy party difficulties. We implore the Populists of every State to pay no heed nor to attach no importance to this small sloughing oil of party timber, but to maintain an aggressive warfare on the line hitherto followed, to build up and preserve our state and iccal organizations in accordance with the recommendations of the national organization committee as adopted at Nashville July 4. 1897, and the subsequent agreement between our two national committees at Omaha June 15, 1898, relying on the patriotism and good judgment of men advocating both policies of party management to heal their differences before the time fixed for our regular national convention.” The above resolutions were unanimously adopted by delegates in whole or part from the States of Michigan. Illinois. Indiana, Ohio, Kentucky, Tennessee, Missouri and Arkansas. Candidates Are Radical. CINCINNATI, Sept. 6.—While the candidates of the reorganized middle-of-the-roaders for President and Vice President have never neon in public life, yet both of them are well known. They have been identified with the People's party ever since its Inception, and both aro known as ultra radicals on the most extreme doctrines of the Populists. Both of them supported Thomas Watson for-President in 18%, and bitterly opposed the efforts at fusion at that time and ever since. They are both bitterly opposed to Colonel Bryan, and charge him with instigating Senator Butler as the chairman of their former national committee in his efforts to drive them into fusion and to break up the People's party. Whar ten Barker, of Philadelphia, the candidate for President, is the editor f the American, the national organ of the middle-of-the-roaders. Ignatius Donnelly, of St. Paul, the candidate for Vice President, has been known for years as the author who advocated that Lord Bacon wrote the plays credited to Shakspeure, an I is also the author of numerous works on finance, especially on tho silver question and on socialistic questions. (Silver Republicans Deposed. DENVER. Col., Sept. 6.—l>ate this afternoon the chairman gs the siiver Republican nationul committee removed Richard Broad from the position of chairman of the silver Republican state central committee of Colorado and W. R. Freeman from the position of secretary of same committee on the ground of disloyalty to the silver Republican party and the cause it stands for. Chairman Towne appointed James H. Blood, of Denver, as chairman of the state committee, and W. H. Griffith as secretary. This action was taken by Chairman Towne on representations in writing by Senator Teller, Congressman Shafroth and National Committeeman Stevenson to the effect that fraudulent contests have been instituted In a sufficient number of counties so that onelialf of the state convention, to be held a' Colorado Springs, on Thursday next, will be made up of the contested delegates and that Chairman Broad and Secretary Freeman have joined in a conspiracy to five the

McKinley Republicans or followers cf Senator Wolcott, control of the convention anc' enable them to defeat the proposed fusion with Democrats and Populists in the coming campaign. The effect of Chairman Towne's action will be to put the friends o Senator Teller In control of the convention. Chairman Broad and Secretary Freeman dispute the right of Chairman Towne to remove them and declare they will disregard his action. Everything Republican. WHITE RIVER JUNCTION, Vt., Sept. 6.—ln the regular biennial Vermont election to-day the Republicans elected their entire state ticket, as follows: Governor, Edward C. Smith, St. Albans; lieutenant governor, Henry C. Baltes, St. Johnsbury; treasurer, J. L. Bacon, Hartford; secretary of state, F. A. Howfiand, Montpelier; auditor of accounts, O. M. Barber. Arlington; members of Congress. First district, H. Henry Powers, Morristown; Second district, William M. Grout. Kirby. It is probable that the Republicans have elected their entire list of thirty senators. Twenty-five Democratic representatives are reported elected in the 116 towns thus far heard from. Thomas W. Moloney, of Rutland, the D( mocratlc candidate for Governor, has polled about the same vote as the Democratic candidate four years ago, while tho Republican vote for Governor has materially decreased. Special Se.e-.ion in Oregon. SALEM. Ore., Sept. 6.—Governor Lord this afternoon Issued a proclamation calling the legislature in special session on Monday, Sept. 26. for the purpose of electing a United States senator to fill the vacancy now r existing by reason of a deadlock in organ‘zing the last Legislature and to pass the regular appropriation bills to meet the expenses of the state government. Stole the Ballot Box. LITTLE ROCK, Ark., Sept. 6.—Election returns are extremely slow in coming in. It seems that despite the local contests the vote throughout the State was light. A report from Eastman township. Pulaski county. states that the Republicans carried that township and that the ballot box was carried away by the Democrats and has not been heard of since. The railroad commission constitutional amendment is adopted by a large majority and the amendment providing for the levying of a 8-mill road tax is also favorably acted upon. YELLOW JACK RECORD THE PLAGUE RESTRICTED TO THE FIRST-1 AFECTED TOWNS. ■ -4 Energetic Meaunren tn Effect nt Memphis to Protect It from Infection from the South. - MEMPHIS, Tenn., Sept. 6.—The yellow fever situation in the South is not discouraging. Mississippi to-day finds the fever still practically within the limits of the two original counties first infected. A single case at Benoit traceable to infection at Orwood has been thoroughly isolated, and to-day's dispatches indicate that no spread is expected in that direction. Suspicious cases at Bear Creek, Copiah county, have been pronounced not yellow' fever by experienced inspectors. Two suspicious cases seven miles in the country from Meridian and one at Water Valley yet remain to be authoritatively heard from. All the spread there has been, with the exception of the 'three cases, up to to-day has been within a radius of ten miles in Lafayette county. Marshal county has one case, east one mile from Waterford, thoroughly isolated. In other words, there has not been, according to the opinion of the best physicians, such a spread, and in so many different places, as to warrant the belief that the infection Is at all extensive from an original source. 1 he fever could not have selected two more unpropitious places in which to spread than Taylors and Orwood. Both are small villages, high and dry. Up to to-day there have been twenty-nine cases at Orwood. five at Taylors and one at Waterford, making a total of thirty-five in all. Out of this number there has been one death. The Mississippi Board of Health has.estabilshed an absolute quarantine against three coast towns, Bay St. Louis, Waveland and Pass Christian. These towns were granted a daylight communication with New Orleans at the meeting of the board several months ago and for this reason the quarantine is established. All railroads in r.he State have been ordered to stop carrying passengers on local freight trains. Rumors ox suspicious fever at Water Valley and Oxford have been officially denied. Five cases of the plague exists at Franklin, La., making a total of twelve cases, only one death being recorded. Galveston, Tex., show's a clean bill of health. The Memphis Board of Health has established a most rigid quarantine, bo one being allowed to enter the city from any part of the world. Advices from cities and towns in north Mississippi state that a similar quarantine is in effect. The railroads have abandoned many trains, mostly locals, and are the worst sufferers from the quarantine restrictions. No Fever tn New Orleans. NEW ORLEANS, Sept. 6.—There is no yellow fever in New Orleans. Dr. Carter, of the Marine Hospital Service, completed his investigation of the two cases suspected by Dr. Dunn, of Mississippi, and announced that the evidence did not establish the diagnosis of yellow fever. Dr. Sanders, health officer of Alabama, came over and saw the cases and says tney are not yellow fever. The verdict has been telegraphed to the States which established quarantines and stopped travel, mail and express. There has been no interruption to general freight traffic through this city in any direction. The Louisiana Board of Health has not yet Issued any report on the suspicious case of fever which was under investigation. No other cases are under investigation at present. Believe New Orleniu In Infected. JACKSON, Miss., Sept. 6.—Three new cases of yellow’ fever at Orrwood and four new cases at Taylor's Station are reported to the State Board of Health to-night. The physicians say that several of the cases at both places are serious. Notwithstanding the joint report from Surgeon Carter, of the Marine Hospital Service, and Dr. Sanders, state health officer of Alabama, that the two suspicious cases in New Orleans are not yellow fever, the State Board of Health will not raise the quarantine against that city until further developments are made public. The report of Inspector Dunn, received last night, stated that he had paid a second visit to the patients and his opinion had not been changed The board places considerable reliance on his diagnosis. One Isolated Cnne. MERIDIAN. Miss., Sept. 6.—Dr. Folkes, one of the yellow fever experts of the State Board of Health, arrived here to-day, and to-night made the following report to the local Board of Health: "There is no yellow fever in Meridian, btven miles In the country is a case somewhat suspicious. It is Isolated.” PflNfl UNDER MARTIAL LAW. Negro Miners Tm nntingrly March Through (he Street*. F’ANA, 111., Sept. 6.—This city was placed under martial law to-day. The sheriff took this step In order to prevent a clash between the striking coal miners and negro laborers who have taken the strikers' places, the Governor having so far failed to send troops. The negroes have been kept closely guarded at Spring Side colliery until today. when a half dozen of them marched Into town and through the principal streets. They were not molested by the strikers. Sanitary conditions at Spring Side are said to be bad. and two negroes are reported dead from dysentery. The citizens have appealed to the State Board of Heulth. Telegraph Operator Murdered. MEMPHIS.

MRS. EVANS SUSPECTED * BLOOMINGTON AUTHORITIES MAKE NEW DISCOVERIES. Fatal Shooting and Cuttings, Deaths by Aeeident and Ignorance Form \ Fart of the State Happenings. Special io the Indianapolis Journal. BLOOMINGTON. Ind., Sept. 6.—Considerable interest is centered in the investigation now' going" on over the death of Charles Evans, which occurred last Saturday nignt. Mrs. Evans has been closely questioned by the prosecutor periodically, as to the relations existing between her and her dead husband. This afternoon, during one ot their conversations, Mrs. Evans said she was sure her husband had taken poison, as he had been despondent for some time and had repeatedly threatened to take his life. An attempt is being made to prove that Mrs. Evans poioned her husband because of infatuation for another. Twice she has rpp.ied for a divorce and each time it has been denied. Mrs. Evans is said to h ive told the officers that she had given her husband a dose of quinine Saturday night at his request, but that as there were two packages on the table, it is possible that she gave him poison by mistake. The postmorten examination made by the coroner establishes the presence of strychnine in the stomach. Mrs. Evans at first insisted that her husband had died of heart failure, to which he was subject, but since then has told several different stories and advanced as many conflicting theories. Several witnesses will be examined by the prosecutor to-day and In the meantime Mrs. Evans is in jail without bail. + POPULISTS REVOLT. Action of Recent Brasil Convention Kepndiuled as Fraudulent. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. TERRE HAUTE, Ind., Sept. 6.-The leaders of the People's party of the district will not accept the action of the recent convention of their party for this congressional district in indorsing the candidacy of Samuel Hamill, of this city, the Democraiicc candidate against Congressman Faris, his former law partner. Morton C. Rankin, of this city, treasurer of the national committee, Fred Robinson, of Ciay county, who cast the deciding vote in the Legislature in 1887 which defeated General Harrison for reelection and sent Turpie to the Senate as his successor, A. T. Height]y, of Greencastle, and Capt. J. 11. Allen, of Terre Haute, have signed a statement in which It is set forth that the convention was packed by the Democratic managers. It is asserted that District Chairman Snyder was in league with the Democratic managers and that the basis of representation was fixed so that the country districts, in which the larger number of Populist votes were cast, had smaller representation than the cities, in whose wards it was a comparatively easy matter to "set up” the delegations by Hamili’s friends. It is charged that the chairman ot the convention is not a Populist and was a delegate to the recent Democratic state convention: tnat ne nad the committees arranged before he took the cl-Vtir; that the platform prepared in advance to suit the occasion; that James Smith, the Democratic candidate tor prosecutor in Parke and Vermillion counties, proposed the- indorsement of Hamill; that the real Populists who were present withdrew and organized a district committee with Capt. J. H. Allen as chairman and L. L. Johnson as secretary. In the statement it is said: “’the action of Chairman Snyder in conniving with the Democrats to prevent the Populists from having a candidate to vote for under their own emblem is treason to our state platform. It declares against fusion and makes the plow and hammer our device. This is fusion matured—it is surrender.” The committee has called another convention for Sept. IS to meet at Brazil to nominate a candidate for Congress to be voted for unier the plow and hammer, anti the basis wifi be one Populist from cacli voting precirct. M. E. CONFERENCE OPENS.

Sept. 6.—General Shatter has been informed, unofficially, that four transports with troops from Porto Rico will, upon their arrival off New York, be directed to disembark at Montauk Point, the regiments they bring. General Shatter ha: understood. unofficially, that the Obdam and Mississippi are two of the troop ships and that the four vessels alluded to are due to reach Montauk Point on Sept. 7 and 8. It has been understood as having been ordered by the War Department tiiat none of the troops that have been in Porto Rico were to go to Montauk Point, but that all should land in New York and go to their homes or posts from this city. No one whose opinion is valuable hazards an explanation of the change in the secretary of war's design. Colonel Turner, of the First Illinois Regiment, says tiiat one Porto Rican regiment will occupy the tents the First Illinois will iacute, which they will do as soon as they can get transportation. The Obdam brings General Miles and his staff and nine companies of the Second Wisconsin, twtnty-eighi officers and about 80C men. it Is surmised that should General Shafter s unofficial information turn out to be official the Chester, with Generals Schwan and Hains and their staffs and for-ty-one officers and 715 men of the Fourth Pennsylvania, will be sent to Montauk Point. More desertions were reported to-day from the ranks of the regulars. This is due to the announcement that a portion of the regulars are to be sent pack to Cuba for garrison duty. There is a strong sentiment among the regulars against returning to Cuba on account of the killing climate there. General Shafter is giving special attention to the numerous desertions and tne dissatisfaction among the volunteers at not being sent home. He has not yet indicated what he proposes do in eithef case, but he is expected to take some decided action before the day is past. There are only 891 in the general hospital to-day, which is a low figure. There have been many furloughs and convalescents gone home. There are four convalescent wards without patients. One hundred and fifty men in the hospital are down wiih typhoid fever. One hundred men left camp on the morning train to-day on furloughs.
