in the republican national convention
in St. Louis. Every convention in-
structed its delegates for McKinley.
Cowley and McPherson counties in-
structed against Cy I.eland for
delegate at lore. The other
27 counties are practically solid
for the Doniphan county man.
Previous to yesterday tell counties
had selected delegates, all of whom
were for I.eland and McKinley. At
Wichita Col. Murdoch secured an in-
dorsement for his candidacy fordele-
gate-at-large. «T. II. .lohnson, who has
posed as an antagonist of Cy Leland
and a candidate for national commit-
teeman as well, met a Waterloo at

Missouri "Sound RIoney" Men.
St. Louis, March 2.—As the result of
a call issued several days ago, 300
prominent Missouri democrats who are
opposed to the free coinage of silver at
the ratio of sixteen to one, assembled
here Saturday to "protest," as they
term it, against being "read out of the
party." A lengthy address to the
democrats of Missouri was adopted
unanimously. It starts out by declar-
ing that the unprecedented action of
calling the state convention to
meet in Sedalia, on April 15, to
elect delegates to the national con-
vention, three months in advance of
the convention, was done with the
avowed purpose of influencing the
party in other states and committing
the national democracy to the free and
unlimited coinage of silver at a ratio
of sixteen to one of gold, regardless of
the relative commercial value of the
two metals and regardless of the ac-
tion of the other commercial nations
of the world. A committee on organ-
ization composed of two delegates from
each congressional district was appoint-
ed, with ex-Gov. Francis as chairman.
fter Shelby's Scalp.
Washington, March 2.—Ex-Repre-
sentative Tarsney spent some time Sat-
urday at the white house and the de-
partment of justice, lie demanded
that United States Marshal Shelby be
removed from otlice. The reason for
this demand he presented in the form
of a photograph of a letter Mr. Shelby
recently wrote to Representative
Joy. it appears that some time
pgo Mr. .Toy wrote Gen. Shelby
about a private matter, and near
the close of his letter made some
inquiry about the Van Horn-Tarsney
Contest case. Gen. Shelby, in answer-
ing the letter, first gave attention to
the private business matter and at the
close observed in answer to the addi-
tional inquiry as follows: "Van Horn
was elected by 2,000 to 3,000 majority.
He was elected beyond any question of
doubt." This is the part of the letter
to which Mr. Tarsney made exception
and because of this he is demanding
that he be removed from the position
he now holds.
Coles for President.
Des Moines, la., March 2.—At
meeting of populists here Saturday,
Gen. .lames 11. Weaver nominated ex-
Gov. lloies as the people's party candi-
date for president. Mr. Weaver's
declaration was due to the recent let
ter of Mr. lloies declining to allow his
name to be used in connection with the
democratic nomination for the presi-
dency and indorsing the freo coinage
of silver.
Arkansas for McKinley.
Little Rock, Ark., March 3.—The
republican state convention will con-
vene in this city to-day to select four
delegates at large to the national con
vention at St Louis. Gen. Powell
Clayton, the recognized leader of the
party in Arkansas, is being groomed
for a cabinet position In tho event of
Mclviulcy's nomination and election
and this movement has injected i
great deal of interest in tho republican
politics of the state. The convention
will be harmonious and a solid Mc-
Kinley delegation will bo selected.
<>ov. Stone on Silver.
Jefferson City, Mo., March 3.—Gov.
Stone is engaged in sending out a po-
litical circular letter to every section
of the statu on the silver question,
lie strongly urges the necessity of
close urbanization by the friends qf
silver, and tlie selection of dolegatea
to tho Scdalia democratic convention
whose views are known to bo friendly
to the white metal. The letter clearly
indicates that there wih not bo thq
slightest disposition on the part of tho
radical silver element of the domoci
racy of Missouri to make concessions
to the administration or "sound
money" wing of the party.

Apologies.
Hubbub at Ma<lrl<1.
Madrid, March The cable dis-
patches which are being received hero
from the United States are increasing
tho feeling of indignation which was
aroused among the masses when it be-
came known that the United States
senate favored the recognition of the
Cuban insurgents as belligerents, and
the newspapers here con linn the re-
port that a Spanish naval squadron,
consisting of four cruisers and a dis-
patch boat, is to be sent to Cuba with-
out delay. The greatest activity is be-
ing displa3'ed in the government
navy yards and every preparation
possible is being made by the naval
and military forces for the most seri-
ous eventualities. Attempts at noisy
demonstrations of protest against the
United States are reported from sev-
eral points. Harcelona has maintained
tho reputation it made Sunday, when
the American consulate was stoned for
fomenting unfriendly demonstrations
against the United States, and tin;
mounted gendarmes have been kept
busy patrolling the city and dispersing
gatherings of persons plotting to
wreak their wrath upon the represent-
ative of the United States government
in that city. Renewed attempts were
made by crowds during the day to uo
violence to the United States con-
sulate. They were repeatedly charged
by the police and dispersed, only to
form in some other place, with a per-
sistent determination to do their will
upon the consulate.
London Globe's Comments.
London, March S. — In commenting
upon the Cuban situation the (llobo
says: "American common sense is
again beginning t.o chill American
Chauvinism. Under its refrigerating
influence there has been a tardy per-
ception of the possibility of war when
any nation declines to submit to the
bullying of the American jingo. Hut
less heroic methods than resorting to
arms are apt to bo brought into play.
There is no question that the Spanish
people are resolved to fiirht to the
death sooner than quit their hold of
Cuba at American bidding. Nor would
they he blameworthy if, in such an un-
equal contest, they resorved to pri-
vateering to destroy American ocean-
borne commerce.
