In three houra there was no one In

HT. LOUIS, Mo., June W— Some
Western delegates to the Democratic
national convention arrived tjoday, but
aside from their Individual! opinions
they had no knowledge of whalt was go
ing to be done when the Democratic
national convention meeto n£xt week.
Everything seems to await thic arrival
of the leaders.
Senator Frederick T. Dubois Ipf Idaho
came in thla evening and whan asked
what he thought of the presidential
outlook oald he nw nothing but Par-
ker. |
"Who will they nominate aftW they
have beaten ParkerT* he asked.
"Would It be Cleveland? he rotillnued*
Why there la more than a thlrdjof the
convention that will stay here urltll the
election before allowing the nomina
tion of Cleveland. An attempt tq nom
inate Cleveland will throw the conven
tion Into the hands of Bryan. The con
vention will nominate Parker heenuac
they have no other mna to nom'nate."
Senator Dubois declares that he will
foroe an anti-polygamy plank Info the
national platform. That will he hla
principal work while In 8t. Louis. He
saya that the Republicans feared they
would lone Utah, Idaho and Wyoming
If they declared against polygamy, but
he claims that a strong declaration of
that kind In tho Democratic platform
will carry these states for the Demo
cratic party.
-.J r °r! n ® r 8* n,| tf>r George Turner, of
Washington, came to St. Louis today
with a small but earnest vice presi
dential boom. The states of Idaho and
Wyoming are Instructed to vote for Mr.
Turner for that position.
Former Senator Frank J. Cannon, of
Utah, says that he will not bolt this
convention.
"Eight years ago I bolted the Repub
lican convention In thla very town, and
I have grown grey since that time try
ing to And proper political termlnnl
facilities. Let them put anything thrty
please In the platform and even nomi
nate Grover Cleveland nnd I’ll watch
the other fellowa walk-out if they want
to, but none of It for me. I have had
all I want."
Besides Cannon there will be Senator
Teller of Colorado. Senator Dubois of
Ids ho. former Senator Pettigrew of
South Dakota. Charles A. Towns, of
New York nnd Congressman John
Lind, of Minnesota, delegates In the
coming Democratic convention, all of
whom bolted the Republican national
convention held In St. Loula eight
years ago.
Senator Jones, chairman of the
Democratic national committee, will
arrive In St. Louis tomorrow.

titude with reference to the national
Democratic convention. He said:
"I would like to My. In view of the

CHICAGO, June 80.—After a trip
which circled the earth. John Alexan
der Dowle arrhred In Chicago today.
When the train pulled In at the La
Salle street station, however, there
were no cheering followers to meet
him. He hnd sent word ahead that he
would not soil his feet with the dust
of Chicago.
Though many residents of Zion City
were busy all night making the nlsh-
Ing touches In the preparation for the
arrival of "Doctor" Dowle. the entire
place was astir today. The streets
wece decorated with flags and bunting.
Aside from n triumphal arch, the tab
ernacle waa the chief object of decora
tion.
The "arch of triumph" wns made of
Imitation blocks of stone. Each block
bore the name of a city which Dowle
had visited In his travels. Black let
ters henoted the places where Dowle
had been received, while the names of
the cities that had shunned him stood
out in glaring red.
At the sound of a whistle the entire
population spent two minutes In silent
devotion nnd then were given six min
utes In which to assemblee for a pro
cession which was to greet Dowle.
Ten companies of ZIo n City Guards,
seventy men each, formed In line, while
the so-called "restoration host,” 3.500
strong, accompanied by a surpllced
choir, marched to. the station.
On tho nrrlv#! of the train at Zion
City. Dowle’s carriage, a victoria,
trimmed with carnations, ferns nnd
smtlnx, conveyed the "doctor" and his
chief “overseer" at the head of the
proceMion to the arch, the Zion brass
band furnishing the music. At the
nreb ten little girl* stepped forward,
robfed In white, with blue badges across
their breasts bearing in gold letters the
names of ten of the principal countries
which Dowle had visited. The chil
dren carried large bunches of roses,
which they threw over Dowle and hla
party. The gates o! tho arch were then
unlocked by the overseer, who returned
to Dowle the key which, on his depart
ure. Dowle had given to the chief over
seer. Addressee were then made by
Dowle. hla wife and Gladstone Dowle.
The white-robed choir sang an anthem
and Dowle went Into retirement to re
ceive reports from his lieutenants.

Forger Caught at Last.
ATLNTA. June 30.—Marcus Crahan
of Providence, R. I., reached tlanta to
day for the purpose of spending the
next fifteen years of his life as a guest
of the Federal prison, where he will
wear stripes and get three meals a
day at the expense of the general gov
ernment. Crahan has been making and
passing counterfeit $10 and $100 bills
and is an expert In his line of business.
In several respects the capture of
Crahan constitutes one of the roost
remarkable counterfeit cases in the
history of the secret service. The offi
cers connected with the ease declare
that Crahan Is one of the shrewdest
criminals with whom they have ever
had to deal. He was doing business on
a large scale and had Just moved his
base of operations to St. Louis for the
World's Fair crowd when the officers
got on his track. The case was consid
ered of sufficient Importancet o require
the presence of Chief John E. Wilkie,
of the United States secret service, who
spent some time In St. Louis and per
sonally directed the movement of hla
men.
One or the most remarkable features
connected with the affair Is that Cra
han was discovered, arested, arraigned
and sentenced all within a term of
three weeks. When finally captured the
man had In his possession fourteen
plates, which he had made for counter
feiting purposes, and any amount of
counterfeit bills, ranging all the way
from $10 to $100. All of the apparatus
and bogus money was, of course, taken
In charge by the secret service men
and carried to Washington.
Crahan Is one of the finest engravers
In the country and his work upon the
bills waa of such a nature as to make
them apparently almost perfect. The
officers consider his capture unusually
fortunate inasmuch as he had Just be
gun extensive operations at the St.
Louis exposition and had he not been
apprehended at the time there la no
telling how much counterfeit money
he would have put in circulation.
