C. H. Sproul was elected member for Nevada, 0. J. Saulsbury for 'Utah, Senator Shoup for Idaho, W. M. Griffith for Arizona, Sol Luna for New Mexico, J. E. Lenders for Colorado, Henry E. Ash for Oklahoma and George A. Steel for Orégon. The vacancies in the District of Columbia and Alaska were referred to the executive committee when appointed. Chairman Hanna was authorized to appoint a per- manent secretary and treasurer of the com- mittee. Behind closed doors there was an ani- mated discussion of - question of the lo- cation of the permane t headquarters for th '- ampaign. Chairman Hanna wanted the eadquarters in Cleveland, but there was an emphatic protest by the members from the east and south. They warned Mr. Hanna that the Ohio idea could be. carried too far. They told him that if 'the headquarters were not lo— cated in New York the Republicans of that state would regard the slight as a direct slap in the face and the party would be in danger of losing 72 electoral votes. Headquarters In New York. Chicago also made a bid for headquar- ters, and some were willing to stand by Mr. Hanna and run the campaign from his office in Cleveland. But the vigorous ob'ections of the committees from New England and the south convinced Mr. Hanna that it would be' a dangerous ex- periment. He finally agreed that the headquarters should be located in New York city. The only formal action taken in reference to the matter was to refer it to the executive committee when appointed, but after the meeting had adjourned it was stated by several members of the committee who were in the confidence of the new chair- man that the question is as good as set- tled, and New York will as usual be the campaign headquarters. The committee adjourned subject to the call of the chair- man. The next meeting will probably be held in New York :ity after Chairman Hanna has consulted with his candidates and ap- pointed his executive committee. Cornelius N. Bliss of New York will probably be reappointed treasurer of the committee if he will accept the place. The resolution making Chairman Hanna of the national Committee ex ofiicio chairman of the executive committee is a new departure. It has always been the custom in the national and state commit- tees of all parties to elect a party leader chairman of the executive committee. McKinley will be formally notified of his nomination on June 29 at Canton. Hon. Garret A. Hobart, the nominee for vice president, ,will be notified on July 7 at his home in Paterson, N. J. The New York delegation left for home on their special train over the Pennsyl- vania road at 1 o’clock. Their special fol- lowed the Pennsylvania limited. Hanna also left this afternoon. ‘l “T Detroit Paper Repudiates Money Plank. DETROIT, June 20.—The Tribune, one of the oldest daily newspapers in the west, and the leading Republican paper of Michigan since the birth of the party, to- day unequivocally repudiates the action‘of the Republican national convention in de- claring absolutely for the gold standard as against bimetallism. It says that while the party’s candidate is all right “the platform on "the only important issue be- fore the country is damnably unpatriotic and un-Republican. No one’s Republican— ism can be impugned if he continues to stand squarely on the national and state platforms of the past, and if he repudiates utterly the false and un-American 'fulmi- nation of the St. Louis conspiracy.” It advises an active campaign against “ gold monometallism. ” Referring to a charge by delegates, whom, it says, “misrepresented the Re- publicans of Michigan in St. Louis,” that The Tribune was preparing to bolt, it says: “The Tribune resents the imputa— tion. It stands loyally and consistently on the national platforms of 1888 and 1892 and the state platforms of July 31, 1894, and May 7, 1896. The Tribune does utterly re- pudiate so much of the St. Louis platform as is in conflict with the declared policy of the party in its national conventions for some years past, and which is still the cherished policy of the Republicans of Michigan.” . Flocking to Canton. CANT“ 0., June 20.——The 50,000 peo- ple who tried to extend personal greeting - to Governor McKinley will be augmented daily by the most tremendous political ex; cursions the country has ever seen. ' The first telegraphic announcement of faraway visitors to follow the Alliance, Akron, Massillon and. Niles contingents of last night was a telegram from-J. E. Milholland of New York .to Governor Mc- Kinley, saying: “The New York McKinley league will c‘mgratulate you personally at Canton.” According to a telegram from Cleveland today ten trainloads of people are arrang- ing to come to Canton from the Forest City within a few days, and railroad men say that dozens of trainloads of people have contracted to stop at Canton on’ their Way home to the east. ' Thousands of congratulatory telegrams have been received by the major. Here no some of them: . Mayor Strong—New York will ratify your nomination in November by giving the largest majority ever given a presiden- tial candidate. Governor Hastings—Pennsylvania ro- ioices in your nomination, and I personal- ly extend my beartiest congratulations. Morrison Against Free Silver. WAsnnsoros, J one 20. —-— William R.

The Gazette congratu— lates Great Britain on the fact “that if McKinley is elected the United States will continue to pay its obligations in honest money.” The Globe says: "The outside world would prefer the installation of a govern— ment pledg to both a gold standard and a moderate tarifi,"’ and suggests that ”President Cleveland might consolidate under gold the Democrats of the nonman— ufacturing states by proposing to continue the existing tariff with slight modifica- tions.” The Westminster Gazette says. “The protection policy to which the party is committed will doubtless be as injurious to our trade as before, but for the moment there will be a sense of relief at the fact that the Republicans are against tamper- ing with the currency.” ’ The Pall Mall Gazette asserts that “the hollowness oi the silver fraud was shown at the St. Louis convention.” BELL TBLBPHONB’S RIVAL.

I'he Negotiations W’ere Begun In New York City—A Consultation With President Cleveland—Attitude . of the Foreign Bankers. New Your. June flu—The special com- mittee of the senate appointed to investi- gate recent bond issues resumed its in. quiry today in the Hoffman House. The first witness cxamihed was J. Pier ,nt Morgan, head of the house of J. P. or- gan Sc Co. Mr. Morgan was at first ex- amined by Senator Vest, but after a few' questions Mr. Morgan suggested that it would be better perhaps if he were allowed to state just what his cohnection had bedn with the bond issue, and that then the committee (could p53 him any questions they wishe . Mr. Morgan’s suggestion Was concurred in. and he then proceeded to ”state that his first connection with the bond issue was on the 30th or Sistof Jan- uary, 1895 when he received a letter from Assistant Secretary Curtis of the United States treasury asking him to meet him on the following day at the subtreasury. At the same time on the following morn- ing .he received a dispatch from his London house saying that the Messrs. Rothschild had conferred with them on the subject of- the financial situation in this country. His London firm requested him to confer with Mr. Belmont and if possible arrange for his firm and the house of Belmont & Co. to act together in endeavoring to do what they could to assist the government. Mr. Belmont called at his office just after he received that dispatch, and he there learned that he had received a similar dis- patch from the Messrs. Rothschild. Mr. Morgan and Mr. Belmont accordingly went over to the subtreasury together and saw Mr. Curtis and discussed the situation. Mr. Morgan said he told Mr. Curtis that he thought it was doubtful whether in the condition of affairs then existing it would be possible to get gold in Europe. Mr. Curtis asked Mr. Morgan if he would be willing to undertake a contract to supply the government with gold. Mr. Morgan said that he would on a basis which he would determine during the day providing a contract was made with the treasury. Mr. Cdrtis returned to Washington. That day affairs were culminating so that be- tween 85,000,000 and $1,000,000 of gold had been withdrawn from the subtreasury for shipment to Europe the following day. completing the. Arrangement. During the Friday the news, however, got out that the government was nego- tiating with Messrs. Belmont and J. P. Morgan & Co. for gold, and the gold that had been withdrawn for shipment was re- turned. At that time the available gold coin- in the treasury had drawn down to about $7,000,000 or $8,000,000. From that time. said Mr. Morgan, it was fair to say that until the completion of their contract hardly any more gold was exported. Mr. Morgan proceeded to tell‘ of the sub; sequent steps tzdien for the cdhapletion of the cortract. Mr. Curtis came on again from Washington to this city and was in- formed that the European bankers could not agree to place any bonds in Europe at HIS STATEMENT IN DETAIL. . ~v ‘. ., “"3 @anwal . *3; mean in do! maw 'vonx office, 442 escrow“. !

Knowing the _ certain efiect .that would result if such an announcement were made public, Mr. Morgan caused Mr. Belmont to go at once to Washington, and Mr. Morgan followed him that afternoon. Before leaving this city, however, Mr. Morgan arranged with the secretary of the treasury to postpone the publication of a notice calling for pro-' posals for bonds until he could see him. He represented to the secretary of the ~ treasury that he thought that Mr. Bel- mont“ and himself were entitled to that much consideration after their negotiation of the previous week. Mr. Morgan and Mr. Belmont saw the ’ president, the secretary of the treasury and- other cabinet officers the following day, and _ Mr. Morgan pointed out to them the evil consequences that would result from ’ the inevitable delay that could not be ‘ avoided if public proposals for bonds were to be waited for.
