Both Parties Rushing Along'tho Fitting Up of Their Rooms—Mr. Bryan Pre- parliag His Speech of Accept- once—Political Notes. NEW YORK, July 31. —Most of the Re- ublican national committeemen who at- ' nded the meeting of the exmutlve com- mittee have returned to their homes.» Mark A. Hanna remained in town, how— ever. He breakfasted with Warner Miller and talked with callers for an hour after- ward. Speaking of yesterday’s meeting, Mr. Hanna said to a reporter: "It was a very interesting meeting and an instructive one too. One thing was do- termined upon—namely, to push the work of the campaign without delay. It has not been decided yet how many members of the committee will stay at the New York headquarters, but on Sept. 1 Senator Quay and Joseph H. Manley will be here, and they will remain until the polls close on election day.” Mr. Hanna said he had not yet selected the members of his finance committee. "I am taking time about it,” he added, “so that I can make up a committee in which there will be no friction. ” Mr. Hanna declined to tell whether he would meet Thomas C. Platt while he is here. All he would say was, “I have no appointment to meet Mr. Platt.” At the Republican state headquarters it was said that Mr. Hanna and Mr. Plant would have a conference. Clarence W. get together in a day or two. Charles W. Hackett, chairman of the Republican state committee. will also have a talk with Mr. Hanna tomorrow to get his views on the conduct of the cam- paign in this state. Mr. Hackett said to- day that he was ready to go on with the campaign at once. Workman were busy today fitting up the Republican national headquarters at 1 Madison avenue. General Osborne, secre- tary of the national committee, will take charge there on Saturday and will have the headquarters in running order early next week. At the Hotel Bartholdi, where head- quarters have been engaged for the Demo- cratic national committee and the nation- al committee of the Silver party, it was said that the 15 rooms rented to the com- Aug. 1. .Bryan at Work on His Speech. LINCOLN, Neb., July 31.—-Mr. Bryan is very busy with the speech he will make at Madison Square Garden on Aug. 12, when he is notified of his nomination. He ex- pects that it will be the greatest oratorical sfi‘ort he has ever made. He does not ex- pect to havo it fully completed until the day of the notification meeting, but the first draft will probably be finished before he leaves Lincoln, and such changes as will be made in its text will be after con- sultation with Senator Jones of Arkansas and other members of the national com- mittee. It is expected that he will make some reference to the question of accepting the . nomination with Watson of Georgia as his running mate. Senator Jones, in the course of his brief stay in Lincoln, admit- ted that the matter was a serious one, and Bryan said that he intended to give it decision. If Mr. Bryan has come to any conclusion concerning what he will do with regard to his nomination by the Populists, he has given no inkling of his intentions, and the general belief here is t at the matter now rests for settlement w th Senator Jones and the national Dem- ocratic committee. Fusion between the Democrats and Populists seems to be the sentiment in Nebraska, and the county conventions of the Populists held yesterday confirm this view. The conVentions indicate a desire on the part of the Populists to support the Bryan and Sewall ticket in preference to tight with Watson as Bryan's partner, in consideration of Democratic support of the Populist state ticket. The most impor- tant convention of the Populists yesterday was that in Otoe county, the home of Sec- retary J. Sterling Morton, where a com- ’mittee was appointed to confer with the Democratic managers with that end in view. Secretary Morton’s candidacy for the presidency on a gold platform has not cre- ated much of a stir in Lincoln, but local Democrats are looking forward with in- terest to the meeting of the gold wing of the party to be held in Omaha. Presi- dent Harwood of the First National bank of Lincoln and District Attorney Sawyer, whose home is here, but whose office is in Omaha, appear to be the leaders in the movement to nominate a second ticket, but so far they have not told of their plans. Secretary Morton, who is at Nebraska City, announces that he will make a speech there on Saturday night unless called to Washington, and will outline his position on the financial question. It is reported here that he will take advantage of the occasion to state his views with regard to the mention of his name in connection with a gold ticket. 9 Senator Teller is expected "in Lincoln to consult with Mr. Bryan before the latter leaves for the east. It is also probable that the Nebraska branch of the Bimetallic league will establish headquarters here. The Republican state central committee has located its offices here. The North Dakota Populists. _ FARGO, N. D.. July 3l.—-The platform Of the Populist convention indorses the nqminees of the national Populist party, declares for the free and unlimited scin- age of ether at the ratio of 16 to l, and3 favors prohibition and woman sufirage. 'The’main plank relates to railroad assess- .ments. It criticises the present Repub- lican board of equalization for reducing the assessment to $2,500 per mile where the railroads had agreed to accept an as- sessment of $2,800 per mile. Aside from the question of free silver, the railroad as- sessment question will be the leading one in the campaign. The fusion committee caused a three hours’ fight by the statement that they the head of the ticket. Both sides wanted the governor. After nearly every delegate had expressed himself on the subject the committee was sent back for another oun- ierence and authorized to toss for first choice. They were fortunate and report- ed to the conference that they had chosen the offices of governor, secretary of state, audit-or, commissioner Of agriculture, judge of the supreme court, three presidential electors and two of the three railroad com- Meade said that Platt and Hanna would , mitteo would be ready for occupancy by ., thorough deliberation before rendering a_ could not agree with the Democrats over missioncrs. The Democrats were allotted congressman, lieutenant governor, treas- nrer, attornei general, commissioner of insurance, superintendent of public in- struction and one railroad commissioner. After several speeches the convention adjourned. The Democrats say the nomi- nations will not be really arranged much before their convention on Aug. 12. A movement is on foot among the Populists to select E. M. Upson as the gubernatorial candidate. ‘ California Bankers For Gold“ SAN FRANCISCO. July 81.—The Cali- larnia Bankers’ association has issued a pamphlet on the financial questic‘, and the members believe that the currency is the vital issue of the presidential cam- paign. They take the position that the plank in the Democratic platform favor- ing the “free coinage of silver at the ratio of 16 to 1 without awaiting similar action by any other government” is a very dan- gerous one. They set forth that if the United States should alone attempt free coinage of silver at that ratio, gold would be boarded to await a premium or shipped to foreign countries and silver alone re- main as a circulating medium. Théy also fear that capital would be driven away, credit paralyzed and enterprises crippled. The pamphlet says in conclusion: “Convinced of the righteousness of our cause and earnestly wishing to promote the general welfare, we unhesitatingly ex- press our decided opinion that every vote against free coinage of silver at the ratio of 16 to 1 is a vote for the return of confi- dence and prosperity for the benefit of all classes, for the protection of your families and homes, and, above all, for the preser- vation of your country’s honor. ” For Fusion In Missouri. SEDALIA, Mo., July 31.-—The Populist state convention convenes here. The prin- cipal question is the proposed fusion with the Democrats on presidential electors. Governor Stone, who is here, is spokesman for the Democrats, and it is now asserted that the conference at Jefferson City on Monday between Governor Stone and Senator Jones, chairman of the Demo- cratic national committee, had to deal with this proposed fusion. The convention will not name presidential electors, but will give the state central committee full power to' act with the Democratic state central committee, which meets at J effer- son City next week. It is also understood that the Populists will demand a division of the congressional districts with the Democrats. Three candidates for govern- or are in the field. They are Frank Ritchie of St. Louis, Judge John B. Stone of Kan- sas City and John S. Crosby of Kansas City. Both Sides Confident In Iowa. Dns MOINES, July 31.—Chairman Mo- Millan of the Republican central commit- tee has closed a series of conferences with ' members of the state committee represent- ing the various districts. He states that the outlook for Republican success in Iowa is good, and is increasing daily. The committee will begin at: once to dis- tribute literature, and not later-than the 15th of August ill put speakers, in the field. The con ressional candidates are many of them already in the field holding outdoor meetings. The Democrats are also getting ready for their campaign. but they are compelled to await their state convention on Aug. 12 before making final arrangements. They are just as full of confidence as the Republiuns. Republican Campaign In the West. CHICAGO, July 3l.——Senator; Thurston of Nebraska will open the western cam- paign for the Republican ticket at Madi- son, Wis., tomorrow night. The impres- sion had gone abroad that the campaign would be opened by Major McKinley at Columbus on Aug. 12. But Chairman Hahn of the board of campaign speakers, who came here on Monday, was beseeched by the' leaders in theseveral states under the jurisdiction of the western headquar- ters to start his campaign orators at once. His first order was to Senator Thurston to take the field. Ex-Chairman Harrity's Denial. PHILADELPHIA: July 31.-—W. F. Har- rity, ex-chairman of the Democratic na- tional committee, when questioned this morning about rumors circulated in New York that he had declared that Bryan’s election was impossible, which statement coming from Mr. Harrity was regarded as beneficially influencing the stock market, said: “I never authorized such a state- ment to be made. I have not yet seen the interview itself, and have never even seen the alleged interviewer.” Reception to Dubois and Wilson. BOISE, Ida, July 31.—A reception was given to Senator Dubois and Representa- tive Wilson, followed by a procession and an open air meeting in the courthouse yard. Addresses were made by\Dubois, Wilson and others. Dubols, closing, said, “So long as the Republican party advo- cates a single gold standard, just so long will I refuse that party my support, but will give adhesion to those national candi- dates who most truly represent the free coinage of silver. ” Missouri Gold Standard Democrats. ST. LOUIS, July 81.—'I‘he executive committee appointed at the meeting of gold standard Democrats held here recent- ly, of which James O.

THE OFFICER SUSPENDED. A Sad Occurrence In New York City-The Victim W'as a Boy Who Had Just Robbed a. Store—Fatal Shot “'as Intended Only to Frighten. NEW YORK, July 31.—Within a stone's throw of the Oak Street police station at an early hour a tragedy was enacted today. Two doors from the station a burglary was committed. Patrolman Thomas R. Meyer saw three boys drop from a win- dow. There was a wild chase, which end- ed when the policeman shot and killed one of the running boys and recognized him as a child of the neighborhood be had known for many years. The dead boy is Frank Wollweber. He was 16 years old, and lived at 10% Oak street, directly across the street from the station house. It was 3:30 o’clock this morning when Sergeant Patrick MoNally, who was on duty at the. station, left his desk to get a breath of air at the door. As he reached the steps a boy crossed the street and stop- ped. It was young Wollweber. “How are you, Frank?” asked the ser- geant. "Working now?” “No. I lost‘ my job on the paper route,” answered the boy. Then the two talked for a moment long- er before the boy went on. He passed into the house next the station, at 7 Oak street, to attend the wake of Dan Augustine’s mother. Half an hour later a‘woman walked in- to the station and told of a fight that was going on in Peck slip. Sergeant McNally called to Patrolman Meyer and told him to go with the woman and see what was the matter. Down in Peck slip Meyer found that the trouble had all been settled, for the policeman on cst had made an arrest. So Meyer start-e back, taking a different course from that by which be had gone. He was within sight of the station house and quite close to the saloon of Don- nis Dunn, at Pearl and Oak streets, when he saw the three boys drop from the saloon window to the sidewalk. “Stapi” commanded the policeman. The boys paid no attention, but dashed across the street, past the station house and into Chestnut street, the shortest thoroughfare of the city, which runs only from the door of the station to New Bow- ery, 45 feet away. The last named street was crowded with standing trucks and wagons, and two of the boys were lost sight of in the darkness and group of vehi- cles. But Patrolman Meyer was close on their heels, and kept well in view one who wore a light coat that could be plainly seen under the glare of the electric lights. A Bullet In the Boy's Brain. “Stop, or I’ll shoot l” yelled the police~ man as he drew his revolver from his pocket. Still the boy ran on, with never a look behind him. He had reached the point where Pearl street is crossed by Cherry street, and was close beside an elevated road pillar, when Patrolman Meyer stopped. raised his pistol and, aim- ing above the boy’s head, fired. . Without a sound young Wollweber foil. The ball had entered his brain through the back of his head. As he fell and be- fore Mayer could reach him Patrolman cO’Hcarn ran out of the darkness of a near- by street nnd bent over the fallen boy. He turned him on his back just as Meyers came up so that the light fell on his face. Meyer started back with a cry. “My God, it is the barber’s son 2" be ex- claimed. _ As Patrolman O'Hearn ran off to call an ambulance from Hudson Street hospi- tal Meyer held the head of the boy he had shot. A dozen men, attracted by the sound of the shot, gathered about. The police- man tried to get a word out of the boy. There were tears in his eyes as'he tried to make him understand that the shot had been intehded only to frighten him. Sometimes the policeman addressed those who stood about. “I know his father,” said he. “He’s a friend of mine. How can I tell him that I have killed his son?” The boy was still unconscious when Surgeon Stivers came in the ambulance. He was mortally injured, the surgeon said, and be put the unconscious form in the ambulance. This was 15 minutes after the shooting. Twenty-five minutes later Wollweber died in the hospital without having regained consciousness. Patrolman Meyer went back to the sta- tion to report the shooting. The news had reached the place before he got there. There were many people before the sta- tion, friends and relatives of the boy who had been shot. Meyer trembled as be walked up to the sergeant. “Has his father been here?” he asked. The father was not there. As the policeman wrote out his report the sounds of anguish could be plainly heard by him. They came from the tenement across the street, where Jacob Wollweber has his bar- ber shop in a front room. The mother of the boy was hysterical, and her three younger sons cried as much for the sorrow of their mother as they had for the shoot- ing of their brother. As Sergeant McNally said to Meyers, “I’ll have to suspend you. patrolman,” theta cameo. greater about from across the ' strict. The news had just reached the street that the boy was dead. In the meantime the other policemen were making an investigation. Dunn’s saloon had been robbed Sunday night, when a glass of the window had been crashed in and $2 in pennies stolen. The glass had not been replaced, so it was easy enough for any one to step on the window sill, put his hand through the broken glass, loosen the catch and raise the win- dow. The three boys had evidently done this, for the window was open. Two dol- lars in change and some few pennies had been stolen from the cash drawer. Just this amount, change and pennies, were found in the clothing of Wollweber when they were examined after the boy’s death. Blackburn’s Successor Not Appointed. LOUISVILLE, July 31.-It has been re- peatedly stated that Governor Bradley had decided to appoint John W. Yerkes, na- tional Republican ccmmitteeman from Kentucky, United States senator, to sue- plres next year. Mr. Yerkes said that he , was not a candidate for the senate and had not even looked up the law to see if the governor has a right. to fill the vacancy. Colonel Calvin Burns Dead. l ST.
