YELLOW FEVER ON BOARD.
Pacific Mail Steamer City of Para Had
a Horrible Voyage.
New York. July 2.—Passengers who ar
riv .1 here tonight on tho AlUanca tell a
harrowing story of their experience aboard
the Pacific Mall steamer City of Para,
which lift Panama for San Franelsco on
May 23d lust.
It se. ms that two days n.ft<*r clearing tlie
islhn.tiyellow fever broke out among tho
cre w and passengers of tho Pacific lln< r,
which caused a panic on board, which re
sulted in tlie <l. ath of the commander of tlie
vest el, Capti.in Martel sen.
Three-fourths of tl.e passengers, it 1h said,
were attacked by tint disease, and nt least
a dozen of them found watery graves.
When tlie ves'sel finally reached San Fr in
i'l. -o the facts of tlie terrible voyage wi re
suapr. s ail, and the sickness and deaths
wire attributed to tropical dysentery. P.ut
th. passengers who came n.re tonight say
that the symptoms were plainly those ot
yellow f< ver.
Th< r<- was no effort at fumlgntlon, and
tvhen Mrs. Captain Mitchell, the wife of
nn Englishman commanding one of the
vessels of tie Chilian lino appeared on
the City of Para hcnvllv veiled there was
no uneasiness. Three days out she died
from the io-cailed “tropical <lysent.Tj'.”
Sl-.e was burled at : er., and the Hext to b?
t:.k< n down was Captain Martonson.
P.ofora ho died the f. ver had spread all
ever tlie ship. In first-class cabin and s.eer
ngo alike the yelk w death dealer went
and how many were prostrated will prob
ably never he known. Tlie officers sup
pressed every scrip cf news they could
and Dr. Renz Insisted on his original di
agnosis.
At Punta Aroneas tlm Eehverla family,
one of the rich st in Costa Rica, took pas
sage on the Ci:y of I’ara, not knowing
tliat yellow jac\ wis raging on board.
Tlie vessel proceeded on its. voyage. Up
tho coast there w. re two or three funerals
a day and those who were not ass cted
w< re panic sirick-m.
After much pl. ading a number of passen
gers were put ashor ■ at Corinto and San
,lo«o de Guatemala. It. Is alleg. d that the
officer's of th- v'ssei supplied tl.e p isscn
g?rs with spoiled neat a.id this is b l ived
to hav added to the yellow fever's spr-'ad.
At San Salvador a band came aboard
and while the passengers were sick and
dying the musicians gave five, hour con
certs dally.
CHAPMAN WINS.
Will Make Ohio’s Governorship Race
for Democracy.
HE STANDS TO BEAT BUSHNELL
Sessions of the Convention Were En
thusiastic and Harmonious —Free
Silver Was the Slogan.
Dy Jos: Ohl.
Columbus, 0., June 30.—(Special.)—Horaco
L. Chapman Is the man chosen by the
democrats of Ohio to lead them to victory.
The selection i. a magnificent one in it
self, and it was brought about under cir
cumstances which make the party 2'),'. | 00
votes stronger today than It was yesterday.
Every dem and has been met. every pledge
made the people has been fulfill! <l. The
platform is a magnificent reiteration of
the democratic prin.lples so clearly set
forth by the national convention at Chi
cago, and tlie man who has been chosen
to lead the light has a record of long and
enthusiastic and unceasing support of those
principles.
Chapman was one of the foremost advo
cates of silver in the preliminary cam
paign which le.l up to the Chicago con
vention, as well, of course, as one of the
strongest supixirters of the platform and
the nominee nam< d at that convention.
It has l« et> a notable day for Ohio democ
racy. The death warrant of Mark Hanna
was sung t> day from tint thousands of
democratic throats as they cheer.d and
cheered again at the references that were i
made to the Chicago platform, at tho
mention of tho name of il ’inoeraey’s great
leader, Bryan, and in the hearty reception
given the successful candidates.
Yes, and to the unsu. «■< ssful ones as
well, for it has been a great love feast,
with no bitterness and nothing but friendly
feelings between the aspirants for party
hen. its.
The platform is a clean Indorsement of
the Chicago platform, the money planks
being < inphas zed by 1 eing i. ]iroduee<l in
tho Ohio document. The platform prop.-r
stops th* re, but two supph mentary planks
were adopted, one a strong arraignment *»f
trusts, the other th** Cuban plank, which
Tlie Constitution printed on Tuesday.
There Was No Dissenting Voice.
The platform makers thought it best to
leave the issue • iear- ill, and for that
• ■ tiS'i: made platform proper as -'■or*
us |>'>Bsibh'.
General M *rtx r. the veteran i.l>T In
the silver tight, was given a groat recep
tion when he api-eanxl to ren .rt the plat
form. The eh.a rs were for hint as a man ■
and n silver 1.a.1.T, b it c.ip.cially for the .
principles which he so signally n-pre.sents.
'J'here was not a dissenting vo:« e nor the j
semblance of disapproval, but, on the c.m- j
trary, a degree of enthusiasm equal to j
that which greets silver utterances in the •
south or west.
A slgnilie int feature, showing the friend- |
Imess of the virions silver factions in
Ohio, was l.roUgiit out in the . uly pro
<c. dings, when the committee <>n rules
submitted a communication sugg. sting
that a place on the <! « k. t ix- s*t a i >•• tor
the silver republicans and the populists.
This proposition was tabled as being en
tirely unnts'c . ary.
The motion to table was made by Hon.
V.’. I’. il.'U'kn. y, of Cl. velaixi. a man who
always until last year was a republican,
a .1 who sal.’, that neither th* stiver r—
publlciiis of Ohio " tlie populists <! •. red
uny such recognition as tho resolutions '
He <!< «I• J’*’* 1 that all they a h«‘»I w for

C'h'.-ago platform ru'-l to notniti.i’.e as Its I
« aodi.lat. I t:i■•.. who stood on that pl.’.:f.»rm. ■
His motion to table wa.s .n.1e.l by other
silver ropalilieaiis and populists who h d 1
come as del. g .to sto the convention, and |
at their suggestion the proposition was |
laid aside.
The silver forces ot Ohio stand as a
unit together.
Chapman's Nomination.
The nomination of Chapman wa.s no sur
jir.-.'. though sent" of the uninitiated were
surprised at its coining so soon.
The only surpri e, when the time came
for pl tcinff the n im ■< of 1 ivorite sons be- 1
fore the. conv<Ution. were those furnish 'd |
bv the announcement that Stark county !
had a candidate to present, which meant |
the witlxlrawal of Welty, and in th* ef
forts of a lot of entliik-'lastie youngsters
to stamp.-Io the convention for Mayor Ri«-e,
of Canton. The men back of the Rice
boom were, many of thorn, men who came i

INDIANS LEAVE RESERVATION
Secretary of War Orders Commander
of the Flatte To Investigate.
Washington, June 29.—Three hundred
Bannock Indians have broken away from
the Fort Hall reservation In Idaho and
th r ir actions have alarmed the settlers in
the adjacent territory.
The news of the outbreak of the Indians
from the reservation came today In dis
patches from the governor of llano. He
telegraphed Secretary Bliss late last night
and today wired urgent measures to S na
tor Heitfeld. Senators Heltfcld and Shoup
Immediately went to the interior depart
ment, where they called attention to the
situation and the dispatches also were
promptly forwarded to the secretary of
war. Secretary Bliss carried the telegrams
to the cabinet meeting, where they were .
discussed.
A formal communication was made to '
the secretary of war asking that orders I
lx» issued for whatever military assistance |
may be necessary to aid the agent, L:ev- j
tenant F. T. Irwin, in preserving oner i
ami protecting live* and property of tlie |
settlers and to return the Indians to tl eir i
reservation if they ar* absent th*refrom as i
reported. The agent was notified to make ■
a further Immediate report.
Tlie request of th* Idaho people frr I
troops to protect them against ’hi" Ban
nocks did not reach the state department I
until rather late in the afternoon. Secre
tary Alger held a consultation with Acting |
Adjutant General Brack anil some oilier
officers who are experienced tn just such ■
Indian troubles as thio ami the conclusion
reached was that the department should [
take steps to learn for Itself the exact I
situation In the Fort Ha l country.
Accordingly a telegram was rent to
Brigadier Genera) Uoppinger, at Omaha,
Neb., the headquarters of the department
of the Platte. In which tho r> s- rvatlon is
included, instructing him to send «>r.* or
more officers to the sc*ne of trouble to
ascertain ami report upon the state of as- [
fairs there. Tho department has no doubt j
that the difficulty will be easily overcome, j
believing as they do that, ’he Indians are I
not out for any hostile purpose, hut prln- ‘
clpally to gather some of the roots that ,
come about this time and of which they '
are fond.
Th".-e Indians are the same who figured
in tho Jack'on Hol" affair soma time ago '
ami hail several skirmishes with settl-rs. I
A commission is now negotiating with '
them, as well ns with some other tribes, I
for a cession of a part of their reservation
to the Unit'd States. TIT'! commission has I
w irked for many months, but the Indians I
generally have been found not to favor th* I
schemes and the commission's works ate :
of a sort in which progress has not been j
su'-cessful.
The Bannocks' icscrvitlon is locate!
down in the southeast corner of Idaho |
near the Wyoming and Utah boundary i
lines.
INDIANS DRINK PAIN KILLER.
Red Men Are Dying from Preparations ■
Containing Alcohol.
Brainerd. Minn.. July 1.-Flve Indians. In- ;
eluding Chief Wee Sug. are dead at Mati- •
ne.' Point, on Mill.' Lacs lak", ami several ■
others are expected to die, .as the result of !
drinking pain killer, hair oil and other
preparations containing alcohol.
Tlie Indian payment has been going on I
there and the red skins gorged themselves t
with this stuff, which was bought from .
trading posts. Indian riders are scouring i
'•very part of the reservation to bring tho .
band together at the point, and serious
trouble may result, as the red .-kins think ,
Ag"itt Malone is to blame for the deaths ,
and if whisky can be got taere is no t" ’ling ■

They Declare That To Make a Move
in the Direction of Financial Re
form Would Be to Confess
a Weakness —Cabinet
in Consultation.
Washington. July 2.—Th* auction wheth
er th* president will send a special mes
sage to congress recommending the crea
tion of a currency commission will be
definitely decided next week.
The president Is strongly Inclined at this
time to send a special currency message to
congress, regarding himself as In a credi
table measure pledged to this course.
In fact. It was seml-offictally announced!
at the white house lat* this nft*rnoon
that such a message would be se*nt to con
grass next week, but som* of th* presi
dent’s most Influential advisers on financial
questions .ar* oppos r <i to a rn*"- - g* as
impolitic at this time owing to hostility to
a commission on the part of congress, and
the final <l*t*rml*-tlnn. ■•« s’et'd. will not
be reach'd until Mr. McKinley’s return
from Canton.
Tlie ex- "itivc committee of th' Tndtan
anclls sound mon"” convention have h**n
actively advocating the commi’tee’s scheme
ever since th* advent of the present ad
ministration. It has also the sympathy of
the president, who committed himself to It
in his inauguration. President McKinley,
however, did not care to recomm, nd It to
congress while the tariff hill was pending
lest ft might complicate and d- I y action
upon that measure. All along the chief dif
ficulty which presented Itself to those who
favon d a commission for th* investigation
of the currency system has been th* oppo
sition it would encounter in congress.
While a bill for tlie creation of a commis
sion could easily be passed In the house
whore factious opposition would be unavail
ing ag.Last the operation of a cloture or-
U" r that would bring it to a vote, such op
position in tie s< nate might be almost !n
--termin.ible. Several of th* silver senators
have openly avowed their unalterable hos
tility to the creation of a commission and
S. nater Te ller, of Colorado, has declared
that he would remain here until December
to defeat it.
This being th* situation. It Is und*rstc*d
that some of the executive committee mem
bers of the Indianapolis convention are
now Inclined to believe that it would i* r
haps be a mistake to nr.-ss th Ir r. qu st
for the creation of a commission by con
gress. The better ard wiser thi-ig to do,
some of tli.-m now think, w mid -,o with
draw th« ir requests for a commission and
to us* the provisional power vest.-ii in th*
committee by the Indianapolis convention
and themselves s< lect a c mmittee to In
vestigate tho currency question and pre
sent their conclusions through the public
If those conclusions were such as tho
administration could subscribe to, they
could be made the basis of an administra
tion measure modified ns Secretary Gage,
conducting an independent investigation,
might suggest.
The secretary baa been at work for some
time on a comprehensive curr< ncy reform
Sch.-m* and s one suggestion has been mad*
as t<» the wisdom of not having a further
agitation of the question but of p rmit’ing
Air. Gag*, vho h::s the ful 1 coniid. nee cf
business men gener-'lly. to frame a meas
ure lifter as much consultation as he may
desire with financi rs, brsin-ss mi n. mem
bers of the house and the senate and
others.
The matter was under discussion at th*
cabinet meeting today, but not in a mnnn r
to lead to a definite conclusion on policy,
and the matter went over until their ra
turn to the city next week, when It Is
probable that Mr. H. H. Hanna, chairman
of the executive committee of the In
dian: polls convention, ltd p.-rlsaps other
ni> in ■ r- of th* corimitt*. will come to
Washington to d'o-uss the situation with
th* pr<sid*nt and Mr. Gage.
Upon the r. i.lt of the conference will
probably <!• pend President M !<i: l. y’s ac
tion as to a special message to congress.
