Hill and Senator Murphy Hold a Number of Conferences, but Reuch No Decision at to State Candidates. Syracuse, Sept. 38.—The Democratic state convention met here at noon to day, absolutely without a slate or pro gram other than the temporary organ ization agreed upon in the state com mittee last night. It is in many re spects the most remarkable political convention ever held. Never before have all the prominent leaden of the Democratic party appeared in conven tion and consulted as to program with out result. \ Richard Crokor, David B. Hill, Sena tor Murphy and Senator McCarren, rep resenting Hugh McLaughlin, have bad frequent conferences, but no agreement has been reached as to candidates. These conferences have been conducted upon apparently friendly lines and un der the leadership of Senator Murphy there is an evident disposition for har mony, bnt upon what lines it is niffionlt to determine. Absolutely nothing ii known of the different propositions dis cussed, bnt there, are rumors of all kinds, Becanse of the delay in reaching any agreement it is generally believed that there is tronble of some sort, and many think that a fight will develop in the convention. The leaders, however, con fidently assert that all differences will be settled daring the day and a com plete understanding reached before to morrow morning, when the actual work of the convention will begin. The crowd gathered here is undoubt edly the largest ever seen at a state con vention. The great convention hall is thronged. Tammany has 3,000 men present. The silver adherents are well repre sented here. They have had numerous conferences, the results pf which have been conveyed to the party leaders. Their demands have not aa yet been formally presented, bnt it is understood that they will demand some place upon the ticket for one of their representa tives, probably Wilbur F. Porter, the party’s candidate for governor two years ago. Elliott Danforth called the convention to order today at 12:30 and George M. Palmer was made chairman. Delegate Pierce of Monroe tried to in troduce a resolution indorsing the Chi cago platform relative to silver, bnt it was not allowed to be read. He at tempted to speak bnt was rated out aud the resolution referred. At ltS^a re cess was taken until 11 o’clock tomorrow, ROOSEVELT FOR GOVERNOR. New York Republicans Nominate Him on the First Ballot. Saratoga, Sept. 28 —The Republican convention in this city nominated Theo dore Roosevelt for governor on the first ballot. Black took bit defeat gracefully and promised to support the regular nominee. The platform adopted congratulates the country upon the conclusion of the war, saying: "It has resulted iff the complete tri- nmpb of American arms on land and sea, and we meet with resolnto faith all the responsibilities which oar victories impose." It devotee a long paragraph to praise of the army and nuvv, aud the conduct thereof by the president. The stand taken on the Philippine qncsticu fol lows: Y(e realize that when the necessities of war compelled onr nation tu destroy 8panisb authorityJu the Antilles aud in the Philippines we assumed solemn dn- ties and obligations.'alike to tbo people of the islands wo conquered and to the civilized world. We cannot torn these islands back to Spain. Wo cannot leave Ahem unarmed for defense and antried in state craft to tho horrors of domestic strife or to partition among European powers. We have assumed the respon sibilities of victory aud wherever onr flag has gonn there the liberty, the hu manity and the civilization which that flag embodies and represents must re main and abide forever." The platform commends the annexa tion of Hawaii, renews allegiance to the doctrines of the St. Loots platform and condemns the Democratic policies as declared at Chicogo. New Jersey Democrats Meet. Trenton, Sept. 28.—The Democratic convention to nominate a candidate for governor was called to order in Taylor Opera House at noon today by Chair man E. O. Price of the state committee. The house was crowded with delegates, which numbered nearly 1,100. In call ing the convention to order Chairman Price recommended William Gonrley of Paterson as chairman of the convention.

Witte of the Charleston cotton mil} declines to deny or sfflrm a report that the directors of the mill bad abont de cided to do away with negro labor. A clipping from the Southern and West ern Textile Excelsior, which stated that negro labor in the mill was to be aboil iahed, was shown Mr. Witte. He said be knew notb’ng of inch a move and added that the labor question was still under discussion by the directors. G0N60ST0 GIVES HIS VERSION OF AFFAIRS Spaniard Explains the Delay In Evacuation. EVERYTHING MOVES WELL He Says All the Rccouccntrndoi Are Dead Now and the Grrnteet Question Is How to Bring Prosperity and Happiness to Cubans. • New 'York, Sept. 28.—Among the passengers who arrived today on tha steamer City of Washington from Ha vana were Dr. Jose Congoeto and Cap tain Fred Sharp of the M*erritt-Cbap- man Wrecking company. Dr. Congoeto declined to talk. He will sail for Havre on the French line steamer Oot. 1. Cap tain Sharp was greatly pleased to learn that the Spanish cruiser Maria Teresa had been floated. He thinks the collier Merrimao, sank in Santiago harbor, can be raised. later Dr. Congoeto said: "The evacuation of Cnba by Spain ie a matter of time, bnt when I left Ha vana everything was progressing well. I do not care to enter into all the rea sons for the delay, bnt one of the prin cipal causes is the fact that we have over 6,000 sick who mnst be taken care of and who cannot be left behind. "The problem of the tntnre of the island is a difficult, one, and I have studied it without prejodloe and aa a result of this study of years, I believe it isaeooial problem and not a political on6. Of coarse, politics will enter into the eolation, bat the great question le bow to bring the most prosperity and the greatest happiness to the people of Cnln. It is probable there will be a large emigration to the island and this emigration may assist in solving the problem. Of coarse, a difficulty trill be met in view of tho dangers of fever and the climate.” Dr. Congosto was asked as to the con dition of the reconcentrados. "There are no reconcentrados now," he answered with a smile.,' "What has becomi of them?" was tho next question. "They're gone.” "Where?” "God knows," w.-t the reply. “Do yon mean to say they arc all dead?” "That probably explains H bettor than I can. It Is n subject which I pre fer not to discuss." When asked as to tho establishment of a new. navy for C,uiu Dr. Cognoeto Spain is still a rrent country, and she ought to have a great navy aud probably wilL” Discussing tho fall of Santiago and the surrender of General Toral, Dr. Congosto said: "There were bravo soldiers at San tiago aud if their leader lucked courage be deserves to bo pnnished. Santiago should not bavo fallen as it did. and if Toral bad not entered into negotiations with the enemy it is Hkely that there wonld have been a different story to tell toduy. It is not trne that tho Spanish army there lacked supplies and ammu nition, for thoy had plenty of both, which they tnrned over to the Ameri cans. If Toral bad pushed forward In stead of retreating toward! the city be certainly wonld have caused a repnlse. These are things which be will have to explain.” Dr. Congosto hopes that whon his duties on the Paris peace commission expire he will resume his- consular service * Technological School Uprns.
