ST. LOUIS IS CHOSEN
Next Eepublican Convention
Will Meet There.
JUNE SIXTEENTH IS THE DATE
Speeches by Her Representatives
fore the Committee four Bal
lots Taken Before a Choice
Was Hade.
Washington, Dec. 10. Eepublican
politicians assembled at the Arlington
early this morning to pull convention
wires, and, incidentally, to promote the
interests of their several presidential
candidates. There is nearly as much
presidential talk as there was abont
which city would win the prize.
The Pittsburg delegates were most
conspicuous, because of the large badges
diaplayed on their coats, the Chicago
and St. Louis men were particularly en
thusiastic in campaigning while the del
egates from the Pacific coast, who had
the interest of San Francisco in charge,
were characterized by their unfailing
optimism. They had authorized M. II.
De Young to hold out almost any finan
cial inducements without reason, and he
announced that no question of money
would stand in the way of California's
success.
Shortly before 10 o'clock the politic
ians gathered in the flag-draped banquet
hall of the hotel, and were seated in a
semi-circle with the members of the
national committee iu the center. There
was a noticeable sprinkling of colored
men.
At 10:30 Chairman Carter rapped the
meeting to order, and the roll of com
mitteemen was called, mere was no
response for Alabama, California, Dela
ware, District of Columbia, Kentucky,
-. Mississippi, Missouri, New York, North
Dakota and Wyoming, but it was said
'there were committemen or proxies for
most of these states in the city. Alaska
had a representative.
Chairman Carter, in impressive tones,
addressed the meeting in an unexpected
direction. He said he wae not accus
tomed to notice many "silly, unfounded
and malicious stories," put afloat with
the purpose of arousing prejudices and
exciting ill feeling, but a reflection had
been made on the members of the na
tional committee, and they had been
placed before the country in an unenvi
able poeitioni "Under such circum
stances," Baid Carter emphatically, "I
desire to state, in behalf of the commit
tee, that at no time and under no cir
cumstances, directly or indirectly, has
any person or persons urged that the
good graces of this committee should be
influenced by any mercenary considera
tion whatever." There was a ripple of
applause at the announcement. Carter
proceeded to state that geographical
considerations large influenced the feel
ings of the committee, and, aside from
this, the only purpose of the committee
was to consult the purposes and require
ments of the great gathering and make a
choice based wholly on titneaa.
M. II. De Young, editor of the San
Francisco Chronicie, then announced
that it was his duty to make a business
proposition to the committee. He did
not want to be mercenary, but he did
want to influence the committee. The
republican and democratic parties could
not do business but for the subscriptions
by their members. The people of San
Francisco were bo anx'ous to get the con
vention that they were subscribing big
sums. Tbey knew the party was in dent
and were willing to pay its debts. They
wanted to make the members of the
national committee their guests while
tbey were in the city. The railroads
had been induced to make a rate from
New OrleanB or Chicago of $25 for the
round trip for delegates and $50 tn tl e
others. The difference would be met by
the San Francisco committee. No other
city could claim any advantage over San
Erancisco in railroad rates. He contin
ued :
. "We will furnish a convention hall, as
every other city will, and will place it
absolutely under the control of the na
tional committee. (Applause;. We
will guarantee that you will not be in
sulted as you enter the ball; that yon
Will not be confronted by officials wear
ing the badges of any candidates and
trying to swing the convention for their
candidate. We will give you fair treat
ment and colorless treatment. ' Every
delegate will be our honored guest."
In conclusion De Young said San
Francisco would promise whether she
gained the convention or not that she
would swing the Pacific coast for the re
puDlican party.

p esented Chicago's claims. St. Louis
was urged by Mayor Walbridge, ex-Congressman
Frank and S. M. Kennarri.
The New York's attractions Were set
forth by General Butterfield and Murat
Ualstead. Then Pittsburg, the last of
the big four, had her case urged by Rep
resentative Dalzell. The speech-making
closed by Representative William I.
Stone, seconding Dalzeil's representa
tion of Pittsburg claims.

Francisco 19. Chicaeo 6. St. Louis 14,
Pittsburg 9, New York dropped.

Louis 18, Chicago 9, Pittsburg 5.

All Ex-Confederate's Offer.
Little Rock, Ark., Dec. 10. Ex-Governor
T. J. Churchill, a famous general
in the Confederate army, telegraphed
Senator James H. Berry at Washington,
as follows :
"In case of war with England, offer
my services to the president."
Senator Berry repiied :
"All right, Thomas."
General Churchill said regarding the
matter :
"I did this to show that the South
and all the old Confederates are loyal
to the Union, and are willing and ready
to defend the government from" all for
eign foes. The crisis has come when we
must uphold the Mon.-oe doctrine or
abandon it altogether. I, for one, am
in favor of enforcing it, and I fully be
lieve the whole American people are a
unit on this point."
General Churchill was governor of Ar
kansas from 1880 to 18S2.
Seattle's Water Election.
Seattle, Dec. 10. The ordinance pro

rants for the construction of the Cedar
river water system was carried today by

vote and registration. The vote, with
three small precincts to hear from, was
2331 in favor and 1508 against. The
non-partisan ticket for charter commiss
ioners was elected without opposition.

Columbus, O., Dec. 11. Governor Mc
Kinley received a telegram last nignt
from William H. Hahn, the Ohio mem
ber of the republican national commit
tee, announcing the vote of the commit
tee for St. Louis as the place for holding
the convention.
"Ho do you like the selection," he
was asked.
"Excellently," he answered and add
ed : "I had no preference."
"Are you euprised at the result?"
"By no means, I felt sure that the se
lection lay between St. Louis and Chi
cago." It is understood here that McKinley
will not be a delegate-at-large from Ohio
to the convention, though such a state
ment has been made in several papers.
Dnrrant's Death Warrant.
San Francisco' Dec. 11. General
Dickinson, attorney for Theodore Dur-
rant, presented a writ of probable cause
today for the purpose of preventing Dur
rani's removal from the county jail, and
enabling him to remain there. Judge
Murphv denied the motion for a writ cf
probable cause. Durrant will be re
quired to prepare at once for removal to
state prison.
Dickinson said he and District Attor
ney .Barnes had agreed to try Durrant
for the murder of Minnie Williams early
in January and it was necessary to have
Durrant then in the county jail. Judge
Murphy emphatically refused to allow a
stay ot one day in the order for removal
He said Durrant's death warrant would
be signed today. No date for the execn
tion has been set.

The
Prisoner the Coolest
Man Present.
"PULL HER TIGHT; I'LL STAND PAT
Bade Good-bye to Bis Friends An An
topsy Sold By Specialists In
dicates That He Was a
Degenerate."
Minneapolis, Dec. 11. with a gam
bier's phrase; npon his lipB and a cold
smile upon his face, Harry II ay ward
faced eternity thismorning. "Pull her
tight: 1'il stand pat," were the last
words he uttered. The deputy, with
blanched face and trembling hands.
pulled the well soaped noose as tightly
about the murderer's neck as he could
in order tiiat death might come quickly
and more surely.
It was 2:12 when Sheriff Holmberg
pulled the lever, and released the trap
upon which Hayward stood. In 13 min
utes County Physician Burton declared
the swinging.figure, in which no move
ment or struggle had been observed, was
that of a dead man.
The coolest man at his own execution
was Harry Hayward, debonnaire as ever
What seemed mere effrontery during
his jail days now became, in the great
dimly lighted gallows-room, the courage
and indifference of a man who was, at
least, not afraid to die. The room was
illuminated onlyby a locomotive bead
light, suspended about four feet from
the floor, opposite. the scaffold.
The chief deputy mounted the tcaffold,
where Warden Wolfe, of the state peni-
teniiary, ex-Sheriff Win Brackett and
ex-Sheriff Chappell, of St. Paul, were al
ready waiting, and directed that every
hat be removed, and that there be no
smoking. A cordon of policeman filed
in and made a little passage-way for the
death party.
Meanwhile the prisoner had been
made ready in his cell room. A black
silk robe had been put on, and a black
cap adjusted. Suddenly the door was
thrown open, and the sound of au inar
ticulate yell floated in from the cell-
room, where the prisoners comrades
were taking their farewell. Then came
three hoarse cheers for Sheriff Holmberg,
led by Hayward himBelf, and ending
with "he's all right."
As the echoes died away the sheriff
appeared, followed by the prisoner, be'
tween Deputies Wright and Anderson,
Deputy Megarden bringing up the rear,
Harry Hayward entered tbedeath cham
ber with the same easy stride that
marked his promenades when he was a
swagger youth in society.
"Good evening, gentlemen," said he,
in clear, even tones, as he bowed his
way into the room, wearing his somber
garb so jauntily that its grotesquences
was forgotten. As he made his way up
the stairs to the scaffold he tripped on
his nnaccustomed gown. This amused
him and be laughed.
As he strode up to the trap, the depu
ties looked more like frightened children
hanging to a parent than officers of the
law. Harry Hayward mignt have posed
for a figure of Justice defending the
weak, instead of a murderer going to his
doom. Carefully placing his feet on the
marked spots, he threw his splendid fig
ure to its greatest height, and glanced
about him, his calm face occasionally
brightened by a smile of recognition as
he saw some friend.
Upon being asked if he had anything
to say he replied, in a. careless, drawling
tone, "Well, yes." He moistened his
lips with his tongue.
"Among you all," he began, "there
has been a good deal of curiositv and
wonder at my actions, and some of you
think I am the very devil, with a
peculiar drawling accept on the first syl
lable of chut word, "and if you all knew
my whole life you would think so all the
more. I have dictated a full statement
today of all my life to Mr. Edward Good
sell, Mr. J. T. Mannix and a stenograph
er let's see, what's that stenographer's
name?" and Hayward peered down over
the edge of his scaffold as if expecting
some one to answer.
"Where's Uline?" he went on some
what discontentedly, "I promised to
take his dog with me, nnder my arm, to
make bim a record. It would be a good
thing for the dog. Doyle, you told me
to bow to you. Where are you? Aren't
you here? It can't 6ee you," and the
speaker peered about for the detect
ive. "I'm here, Harry," called out Doyle
"Well, then, good evening, Mr. Doyle,
said the prisoner, smiling graciously and
bowing.
Then taking another tack, he called
oat; "Clemens, did you get that
ticket?"
A hat was shoved into the cone of
light in assent.
"Ah, that good. Mannix, let me see
now," and Hayward hesitated with em
barasament like a man who had forgot
ten his speech-
"Take your time," eaid Sheriff Holm
berg. "I certainly had something to say to
Mannix, because I have always enter
tained the kindest feeling for him. Joe,
remind me of what it was. You know I
have been having trouble with my mem
ory lately."
"Say nothing more in that line,'
came in low, distinct tones from Mannix.
"You are about to meet your God and
should express here your forgiveness for
your brother, as yon did so nobly to me
today, and with the thoughts of your
mother and your father before you, you
should net as you have during the last
48 hours, meeting death manfully and
forgiving all those toward whom you
have had any ill-will up to this time."
Megarden siepped back, raised bis
hand for the fatal signal, and like a shot
the body dropped through the open trap.
There was not a tremor or struggle. The
spectators waited breathlessly while the
doctor listened to 'the fluttering of the
heart. Thiiteen minutes passed before
Dr. Burton stepped back and the spec
tators filed out.
The . deputy loosened the straps that
bound the hands. They fell inert at the
side of the body. Harry Hayward was
dead.
Hay ward's Confession.
St. Paul, Dec. 11. A Minneapolis
special to the Dispatch says: Harry
Hayward confessed a few hours before
ho wag hanged. He told Dr. Frank Bur
ton, in the presence of a dispatch re
porter, how he concocted the plot for the
murder of Kitty Ging. During the re
volting narrative the smile never left his
face.
