M’LEAN forces in control rLAYISG Foil HARMOW RATHER THAN FOB PLACES. HU rrifidi Arc in the Majority on the Ken Democratic Executive Committee in Ohio, Although the McLean Men Could Take Every thing—There Will lie a Free for All Contest on the State Ticket in To-dny’a Session. Columbus, 0., June 12.—The Me Lea u men controlled the preliminary meetings of the Democratic State Convention to day, but they are evidently playing for harmony more than for placets, and may not curry out the same programme to morrow . When John R. McLean was the candi date for Governor last year, his friends nrere placed on the State Central and Ex ecutive Committees. His friends are in the majority on the new State Central Com midee, that was selected this evening, and it will select the campaign chairman and members of the State Executive Commit tee at a later date. It is claimed that the McLean men in securing control of the party organiza tion to-night for another year, have all they wanted, and although they could control everything to-morrow, as they also have majorities on the Convention Com mittee*, there will be a free for all con test for the state ticket, and for dele gates to Kansas City. Opposition to McLean. The opposition to McLean comes from stiver extremists who suspect that their •Cute standard-bearer of last year was at one time in touch with some Democratic leaders of the East, who are considering the availability of some other candidate than Bryan. Although documentary and other evidence has beqn produced to show the most intense and cordial relations between Bryan and McLc- n, yet the ul ra elements are opposed to any one who ever thought of any other candidate bm Bryan for President or of any modification of the Chicago platform. Even the talk about Dewey for second place oh (he ticket with Bryan does not fully satisfy them. Tl.o committee on resolutions to-niglu practically adopted the platform submit ted by Gen. A. J. Warner, president of rhe American Bimetallic League. There were only three cut of the tweniy-ofie members of the committee against the ratio of 36 to 1. and they were in favor of the War ner platform, which indorses the Chicago platform. Gen. Warner said there had been more important issues raised since 18f*6 than the restoration of silver to its cn-iitu iona; place in coinage. He spoke of • '.he mis sion of the constitution, under an admin istration of imperialism, militarism, con quest. aggression and corruption,” as the greatest danger that ever threatened the country. He also held that the trusts outranked silver now a* an issue. WILL SEND BRYAN DELEGATES. WlftcoMftln Democratm Denounce Administration** Policy. Milwaukee. June 12.—Bryan pervaded the Democratic State Copy n tioh held to-day to elect fo r delcgites aplnrge and to ratify the selection of twenty district delegates to the N itio al Convention at Kansas City. The contest cn Xrional Committ mm wai left for the delegation to ettle ? t Kansas City. The indications point to the re-el ctio i of. Ed ward C. Wall. The Committee on Resolutions decided upbn a platform indorsing the Chicago platform of 189;;. eulogizing V\ill am J. Bryan, denouncing the Republican parry, demanding a reduction in the intern il revenue tax and opposing trusts. The pla - form says: “We denounce the Republican party for its brazen inconsistency in treating Por to Rico as a part of our territorial pos sessions and at the same time unjustly discriminating against l<s people, as well al Our own. by imposing a burden of tariff ip express violation of the constitution of our country; In establishing n sys em of Imperialism gro sly repugnant to the spirit of our institutions and necessitating the maintenance of a system of militarism that threatens the perpetuity of our gov ernment for the sol- purpose of gain and conquest; in establishing for all time a scheme of taxation under the guise of war taxes for the purpose of maintaining a Handing army at a time when peacs should prevail, and providing revenue rustic necessary by a policy of exorbitant and prohibitory tariff imposi.ions prac ticed in the interests of monopolies and trust combinations that have been fos tered by the present administration; in the proflignte and corrupt use of the pub lic funds in fraudulent army contracts and the purchase of war vessels, and we point to the gigantic postal frauds in Cuba a* a fair sample of Republican in terHty.” TICKET H.IRD TO FORETELL.

Chicago, June 12.—Judge Gibbous issued to-day a temporary injunction on the complaint of the Inter-Ocean Publishing Cos. restraining "The Associated Press of New York" from doing business under the name of "The Associated Press."

According to the allegations of the bill the change of officers was for the pur,■.- of allowing the organization of’ anew association, which would gradually take on the business of the association against which the judicial rudng had b:en made. The Inter-Ocean Publishing Company, as a shareholder in the Associated Press of Illinois, objects to the organization of the new association on ihe grounds that it? only object is to succeed to the business of the Associated Press of Illinois. The suit is against the Associated Press, (incorporated under the laws of the 'State of New York); Melville E. Stone, general manage'.-, Gievc-n O'Meara, Adolph Ochs, St. Clair McKelway, William L. McLean. { r rank B. Noyes and A. H. Belo, direc tors of the new organization. The temporary injunction restrains the defendants from "doing business under the name of the Associated Press and from in terfering with or attempting in tiny way to injure or destroy the business of the Associated Press of Illinois and from inter fering with the business thereof or en deavoring to cause any party, .firm or corporation to annul or cancel or break his or Us contract with The Associated Press of Illinois and sending out any circular to the members of the Associated Press of Illinois or in any manner soliciting or'asking them to join a .1 become members of the Asso ciated Press, incorporated under the laws of the state of New York.” A prayer asking that the temporary re straining order lie made perpetual is ap pended to the bill. Attached to the complaint are the by lav/s of the new organization and copies of letters purporting to have been sent out by the officers of the new association, outlining the plan and purpose of the As sociated Press of Now York.

A BIG BIRD’S PLUMES. KKVARK Villi: FEATHERS REA< II Til IB \ Al ION AI. All SKI >l. Greater Thau Fabled Hoc—The l’.\- tluct ASou of New Zealand Which Is Relieved to liau* Been (lie Lar gest Bird That Lived. From ihe Washington Post. Government naturalists arc much excited over tho arrival at the National Museum of some feathers of that wonderful bird, the moo. When it is considered that this fowl was probably the largest bird that ever existed, attaining a height of fourteen feet and a weight of I,OQO pounds, one re alizes in some degree the interest that must attach to such a "find." For the moa became extinct a long time ogo some authorities say as much as years ago, though there is no absolute certainty on that point—and inasmuch os no feath ered creature resembling it seems ever to have lived in the world before or since, and fails that throw a light upon its history are eagerly sought. HtrcoguidiiK the Fent hers. The reason why the feathers in question are known positively to be those of a moa is that they were found atiaelied to u piece of skin still hinging to some bones that were readily recognizable as having belonged to a moa. They were discovered in a cave, and jus’i how the bones got there is not wholly obvious, though h was probably through human agency. In New' Zealand, whence the feathers came, largo quantities of moa bones have been dug up from time to many of them being obtained from caverns, in earlier days the birds seem to have inhabited both the north and south islands of New Zealand, where they must have been exceedingly numerous, though they never feund their wav to any other part of the world; a fact not at all surprising, inasmuch us they could not fly at all. How Tlioj licet;me Extinct Until recently their extermination has been attributed to the Maoris, bui now it is thought that they were more probably wiped out by n race of people who pre eded the present natives of New Zealand, tho date when the giant fowl became extinct being set back some hundreds of years. Whatever may b* the truth as to this polm, it would appear that the people who nte the moa off the face of the islands dwelt in some extent in caves, into which they dragged the bodies of the birds for the purpose of cooking and eating them. That they did not eat them raw is shown by the fact that many of the bones ate charred. I( follows that in the courso of lime considerable collections Jf such re mains went to form the d*:> sits In which the naturalist cf to-day discovers uch in teresting relics of ihe dinornis, as the creature is scientifically called. itM l>angorouN Kick. The word dinornis signifies "terrible bird." but this term Is not very accurate ly descriptive, unless it is io be considered as referring to tho alarming size of tho fowl, which, it Ip true, must have lM?en able to Inflict a dangerous kick, such as might have killed a man if he stood di rectly behind. In other reapers it was harmless to the point of helplessness, be ing without power of flight. Incapable of running fast, and slow and clumsy in al) Its movements. Besides, it was extremely stupid. In no other country could it have survived at all, owing to these advantages; but New Zealand had no native carnivor ous animals, and it is likely that tho islands were not inhabited by man until a period comparatively recent in the his tory of the world. Thus it came about that the moo waxed great and numerous. One of its relatives, the apteryx, which likewise has no wings, survives to this day in New Zealand, though approaching ex termination. Clumsy uml C’onld Not Fly. The moa was remarkable for dls enor mous legs and feet, which were so heavy that it could not possibly move about very fast. It Is probable that the natives who hunted if for food, used spears, and, owing to its helplessn* ss, its extermina tion was a question of only a very short lime. Nevertheless, the birds must have been very plentiful before the slaughter began, as is shown by the large quanti ties of their remains which have been dug up. 'Masses of the hones have been ob tained from reclaimed swamps, in one in •elance as many as 40b skeletons, fairly complete, being recovered from a single locality. The Naticnal Museum possesses n thigh bone of a dinornis. which Is over three, feet in length, and every scientific institution of importance in Europe has one or more skeletons. The feathers, how ever, are entirely new. Moa EggN. The thigh hone übove referred to be longed originally to a specimen of the dinornis maximus. which, as its name in dicates was the largest of he moa*.

There has been much correspondence on the subject, and many r medics hava been proposed. A Harvard professor sug gested that large quantities cf muriitio acid be placed in rhe water near (he otirce of (he- stream a few days prior to the expected exuding of the rel glu n from the moss. The acid, in hi* opi;.l:n would consume the fiber of the rrv s nnd r.d its existence.

Torpedoes weie r?c ommended by naval lieutenant, who.

A prominent man advised the importation of the io o rlous Japanese black water spider, which devastates vegetable* growth in the Flow ery Kingdom The many-legged ineorta, he su id. would eat up every bit of moss in the river within twelve month*.
