Park NEEDS MORE MARINES. Admiral Remey Calls for Another Battalion. "WASHINGTON. June 13. The Navy Department has received the following cablegram from Admiral Remey. at Cav ite, dated jeeterday: "The Army turned over the Cavlte peninsula and Basllau Island to naval control, and defense. The Army also wants to giyc up Olongapo. "We cannot take the latter while short of marines. "The So.ace, with six officers intended for Guam, and 100 marines, have been sent to Kempff. Can the department send a battalion of marines to the Phil ippines? Think It Important that the former Spanish naval station be under Navy control. Additional forces are need ed If the Navy is to secure the naval sta tion at present time. "The Yorktown has been placed at Kempffs disposal. The Castlnc is at Shanghai and her repairs will be com pleted July 0. The Austria is at Canton, with orders to proceed to Swatow and Ameer The Navy Department already had taken steps to send more marines to Manila before the appeal of Admiral Remey came. It is figured at the department that there are now 2000 marines in the Philippines and at Guam, the larger part of the force now afloat being stationed at the Cavlte naval station. This is the largest naval reservation under the control of the Navy Department with a water front of about 14 m'Jes, and the withdrawal of the sol diers has made It necessary to maintain a large force of marines to garrison the reservation and keep down the insurgen s, who are numerous in Cavite province. The other points mentioned In Adm ra Rcmey's cablegram a'so are naval coaling stations, and as they have been turned over to the Navy, the Army naturally does not care to be charged with their maintenance, and especially when there is eo much w'ork elsewhere.

SETTLING CONTESTS First Formal Meeting Repub lican National Committee. THE ALABAMA CONTROVERSY Delaware and Tennessee Claim At tention "Vice-Presidential Candidacy Still Open. PHILADELPHIA, June 13. With the arrival of the advance guard and the opening session of the Republican Na tional committee today, Philadelphia has begun to assume a convention air. The committee had its first formal meeting at the Hotel Walton and Immediately began consideration of contests for mem bership of the convention. Practically the only contests of importance are those from Delaware and Tennessee, although developments this afternoon have accen tuated the Alabama case. From Delaware, Mr. Addicks is again seeking admission, and the fight Is espe cially interesting' because, of the. bearing It may have upon the election of two Senators next Winter. The friends of Pension Commissioner Evans and Representative Brownlow, of Tennessee, are fighting for control of the Republican organization of that state, and both are on the ground. As is the case in the Tennessee contest, the- main point Involved in all of the other con troversies is the control of the local or ganization. The contests from Alabama consumed the entire afternoon, and resulted In a de cision of the committee not to place the names of any of the contesting delegates of either faction on the temporary rolls of the convention, except those from the Ninth district. The action of the commit tee was controlled largely by the fact developed in the hearing that Federal office holders have taken a very active part on both sides of the controversy in shaping the result. This circumstance was, Indeed, so persistently brought out, that Acting Chairman Payne Introduced a resolution late in the session calling upon the President to have their participation investigated. The Vlce-Presldencr. Practically the only topic of conversa tion among the Republican leaders who have arrived In Philadelphia, is the ques tion o'f the selection of r. candidate for the Vice-Presidency. Senator Hanna has devoted almost the entire time since his arrival to this question and has been In frequent conference with other leaders upon the subject. He siys absolutely that no candidate has yet been selected, either by the President or by himself or by any one for them. During the noon recess of the com mittee. Senator Hanna held a prolonged conference with Senator Scott, of West Virginia; Hon. Joseph Manley and Henry B. Payne, probably the three oldest mem bers of the National committee In point of service. When they dispersed all agreed that the question, of the Vice Presidency was still open. There was a general confession of concern over the situation, but at -the same-lime, a feeling that in the end the right man will he found. ''We want," said & member of this quartet, "a man for Vice-President who would be a big enough man for President in case the necessity should arise for him to become such. We, do not care where he comes from. We will waive the geo graphical question if we can get the right man In other respects." This statement expresses the general sentiment among the members of the committee. National Chairman Hanna will probably not preside at any of the meetings of the National commfttee. He will be vvery busy with other matters, and Mr. Payne, who occupied the chair at today's meet ing will continue to act as chairman. Convention Hall Tested. A practical and thorough test was made of the acoustic properties of the conven tion hall this afternoon. Members of the National committee and the local organi zations that have taken part in the prep aration of the building for convention purposes, assembled and listened to test speeches made by Mayoi. Ashbridge, Ser-geant-at-Arms Wiswell, Chairman Dob bins, of the building committee, and oth ers. The band was in the place It will occupy during the convention, and men were stationed In remote sections of the hall to listen to the speeches and music. All reported that the acoustics were every thing that could be desired. The National committee requests that the different state delegations will act promptly hi designating the members to fill the following places: Chairman of the delegation, secretary of the delegation, vice-president of the convention, mem ber of committee on credentials, member of committee on permanent organization, member of committee on rules, member of the committee on resolutions. National committeeman, member of the committee to notify the nominee for President, mem ber of the committee to notify the nomi nee for Vice-President. The Committee Meeting-. The National Committee met at noon and immediately began the investigation of contest cases preparatory to the for mation of the temporary roll for the Na tional convention. Henry C. Payne, mem ber from Wisconsin was chosen to pre side in Chairman Hanna's place. Sena tor Hasina did not assume the duties of the chair during the afternoon. The entire afternoop session was devoted to hearing the recital of testimony and to arguments in the contests from Alabama. There were several contests from that state, including those over the repre sentation from the stateot large and" those from the eecond, third, fourth, fifth, sev enth and ninth districts. The newspaper representatives, as well as the public at j large, were excluded from the room in which the committee sat. The hearing in the main consisted of recitals of petty accounts of bribery, and of Intimidation from both sides of the controversies, and In some oases affidavits were read. In which the witnesses had testified on both sides of the case, giving absolutely con tradictory testimony. The principal devel opments of the day, however, consisted In bringing out the fact that the Federal office-holders In Alabama and some of those from the state who are employed In Washington had been extremely active in shaping the result of the contests for delegates. In the etate contest there were two fac tloce, one of which was known as the Vaughan faction, represented by District Attorney Vaughan, and the other headed by District Attorney Wickersham. The technical grounds of the contest had refer ence to the regularity and Irreirularlty of the two delegations. Mr. Vaughan is now chairman of the State Central Com mittee, arjd. notwithstanding he has held the position for the past two terms. Is a candidate for re-election. The controversy grew out of his rent-wed aspirations. So palpable did It become'that Federal pat ronage was the principle over which the contest arose that the committee was not long in reaching a decision practically 1 to exclude all the contesting delegates I from the temporary organization of the convention, except those from the ninth district. Immediately after th!e action had been taken. Committeeman Payne Introduced the following resolution: "Resolved. That this committee requests the Presldf-nt of the United States to di rect the proper officers to cause an inves tigation into the acts and doings of cer tain Federjil office-holders in the State of Alabama in connection with the election of delegat) to the primary conventions and to the state and district conventions held in said; state to elect delegates to the National convention to be held In Philadel phia on the 19th Inst., and if the facts., as stated In the hearing held before said committee regarding the contest in said district and slate be true, this committee asks, not in the Interest of the Republican party, but of the country, that such action shall be token as the good of the Re public's Interest requires." In presenting the resolution Mr. Payne said that he Introduced it because of the evidence of pernicious activity of the office holders In the campaign, and that he be lieved it would be a very serious mistake for the committee to fall to ark that of ficial recognition be taken of this infrac tion of the laws of the country. The com mittee had, however, agreed to take a re cess after the disposal of the Alabama cases, and, rome of the members Insisted that as It wzb then 7:30o'clock, this decision should hje adhered to. Accordingly, the committee dissolved for the time. Mr. Payne requesting that action be postponed until tomorrow. The resolution was the subject of much di!cu!slpn nmong the other contesting delegations present, and District Attorney Atwell. 'of Dallas. Tex., sought out the Associated Press to ask that a statement be made In behalf of his state, that the quertlon of Federal patronage had not en tered into the contest there. The evening session of the committee was devoted to the Delaware contest The committee continued its session until 12:15, when a decision was reached to refer the Delaware controversy to a committee with Instructions to harmonize the differences of the two parties If possible. The com mittee consists of Payne of Wisconsin, Cummlngs of Iowa, Saunders of Colorado, and Leland of Kansas. Interview With Hanna. Next to the committee meeting the feat ure of Interest today was the arrival of Chairman Hanna, who reached here at 1 o'clock. The chairman was met by a committee of citizens and escorted to the Hotel "Walton.- As soon as he reached his rooms, Hanna was besieged by callers, who came In a steady stream. There was a great influx of visitors today. All but a few of the National Committeemen are now here. Many delegates are also arriv ing. Quite a number of Southern dele gates are here. Senator Hanna was asked after his ar rival whether it was true that the Presi dent had a candidate for the Vice-Presidency. "There Is no truth in that report," he said; "none whatever. The President will not Interfere. He has no candidate." "Then, who is your candidate?" he was asked. "I have none. My only desire is to get the best man." "You are- quoted as being opposed to Mr. Woodruff." "I have said whon asked whether Mr. Woodruff was a candidate that I hoped not. and L do not retract that statement. That is the way J feel. As for Mr. Bites, he is an admirable man. but he 4s .out of . the question :',,hr ennnp- jy-opt- iSenaiarJ Allison well! I came over on the train with him, and he is absolute in Ms refusal. There la no doubt of his sincerity in not wanting the place. And, as a matter of fact, we cannot spare him from his pres ent place In the Senate. He Is worth i dozen of ius other fellows there.-" "What are Dolllver's chances?" "Mr. Dolllver Is an avowed candidate, and he has a large following among his friends in the House, but I cannot say as to his prospects. The truth is that there Is as yet no approach to a settlement of the matter." FOR ARMOR-PLATE BIDS. Xayy Department Hns the Advertise ment Prepared. WASHINGTON. June 13. The Navy De partment has completed the preparation of a circular calling for bids for supplying armor-plate In the Navy, and it will be ready for Issue as soon as some typo graphical changes have been made. For the first time the department has adopted the policy of classifying the armor called for to the advertisement. Under the price heretofore paid for armor, it was scarce ly worth While to make any distinction between the various grades of armor re quired. At tho enhanced price now pre vailing, a considerable saving can be ef fected by classifying the armor. Thus, the advertisement calls first for the high est quality face-hardened armor, treated by the Krupp process. The flecond class la composed of armor of generally lesaer thlcknefs than 61aes one, used In plates, where tho requirements are- not po severe, and in this case the ordinary Harveyized armor will serve. Glass three will be made of thin plates, bolts, nuts, etc, material not requiring any kind of hardening pro cess. The latter requirement is that the armor-makers must furniih armor of a certain specified grade. The mew circular contains an important addition, in that tho armor-makers are to supply armor of the very highest grade. Under that claure, if there are Improve ments In production tending to enhance the quality of the armor, the contractors must give them to tho Government with out any extra cost. The circular, as already forecasted, pro vides for tho reception- of bids for three specified quantities of armor, and the largest quantity needed Is called for at once to test the ability of the Govern ment to secure a reduction In price of armor by placing a large order. The Ordnance Bureau has not yet been acquainted with the reported Intention of the areat steel-working concerns hi the United States to enter Into competition with the two companies -which have sup plied armor for the Navy heretofore. It Is known to the bureau that one particu lar concern has spent a large amount of money during the past year in very exten sively enlarging its plants, but. so far as In known, the additions are adaptable to tho production of commercial steel, and are not specifically devised for armor making. - Cndets-at-I.nrRe.

DEMOCRATS OF OHIO Held a Slate-Smashlng-Con-ventjon at Columbus. M'LEAN MEN ASKED FOR NOTHING Disorder la the Hall Suppressed by Police Tlte Platform and the Ticket. COLUMBUS, O.. June 13. The Demo cratic State Convention, after a con tinuous session of over nine hours, ad journed tonight. It was a slate-smashing and a record-breaking convention. The McLean men said yesterday they were asking for nothing, and they cer tainly got nothing. They helped those who have been opposed to them to the place of party distinction and responsibil ity. There was a notable absence of the Mc Lean leaders here this week, and very few of those who were in the city, out side of the delegations, went to the con vention hall. It is said that Mr. McLean did not care to take any aggressive part on account of the Dewey candidacy. During the last hour of the convention there was much confusion and disorder. Charles W. Baker, who was temporarily presiding, sent for a squad of 20 police, ordering them to clear the aisles, knock down those who would not sit down and compel the disturbers to be silent. The police filed down the aisles and maintained order during the remainder of the con vention. The convention was called to order at the Auditorium at 10:40 A. M. by the Hon. William S. Thomas, of Springfield, chairman of the state committee. Chair man Thomas addressed the convention on the work of the past year and the pros pects for the present political year. Chairman Huntingdon's Speech. Webster Huntington, .of Columbus, was introduced as temporary chairman, and he received an ovation. He said in part: "We believe In the Constitution of the United States. We believe In the Declara tion of Independence. We believe In the Monroe Doctrine. We believe that the love of liberty is born in the human breast, and that, possessing its fruits our-, selves through more than a century of trial and temptation we cannot deny them to others. We believe that the love of liberty is the same in California as In Massachusetts; the same In Cuba as In California; the same in Porto Rico as in Cuba; the same In the Philippines as In Porto Rico, and the same In South Africa as in the Philippines. We make no dis tinction as to where liberty should be en joyed, when men desire it. Intelligent sacrifices for liberty prove the fitness of their victims to possess it, and there is no line drawn between such sacrifices, whether they are offered on the altar of American tyranny In Luzon or on the altar of British greed in the Transvaal. "General Sherman said that 'war is hell, but there Is no word this side of hell that can describe the horror of a war of conquest. We charge that William Mc- Klnley, of his own.volltlon, began sue: 'wa.rZonihe' 2lst"'of December. $38: such a by"T issuing. to ine uipmos a proclamation claiming absolute sovereignty over the entire Philippine archipelago, and over the nroperty and persons of Its inhabi tants.. 'X shalLknow a tree by Its fruits,' and by the fruits of Imperialism we know tho empire. Its heralds carry one of two weapons the sword or the carpet-bag. Sometimes they carry both, but they can not accomplish more havoc with, one than the other. The sword was never un sheathed In a war of conquest and a Na tional theft was never accomplished by diplomacy without being followed by 'the carpet-bag. If a nation wore to choose how it should perish by the sword or by the carpet-bag It could not do better than toss up a penny and let 'heads or tails' decide. In any event, for the thiev ing nation it would be, 'heads I win, tails you lose.' The American carpet-bag In Cuba and Porto Rico Is doing as much to destroy the Cubans and Porto RIcans as the American sword ever did to destroy the Spaniards. "We are professing to teach our wards the leason of self-government, but are In fact Impressing them with the belief that the efflca'cy of self-government is indicated by the amount of money the governors can steal from the governed. We are pointing out to them, the advan tages of free American citizenship that knows no restrictions between parts of the Union, but are telling them that 'tax ation without representation' does not count as between the old parts of the Unoln and the new parts. We assure them that 'trade follows the flag,' but how much or how little or what kind of trade Is "our business,' and not theirs. We place them on" the solid rock of the Constitution, but we are careful to grease the rock, so that. In case they slide off. they ' will attribute the catastrophe to the grease, and not to the Constitution. "How much better it would be If we guaranteed Independence to the Filipino, self-government to the Cuban, and to the Porto Rican equal rights In the Union; how roqeh better It would have been if we had done this two years ago how infi nitely more urgent that we do it now." The majority of the committee on cre dentials reported in favor of seating the Dowllng delegation from Montgomery and the Wilson delegation from Cuyahoga County. Two minority reports were also mibmltted, one in favor of seating the Grlmsley delegation from Cuyahoga In stead of the Wilson delegation, and the seating of the Shoup, or anti-Dowllng, delegation from Montgomery. Long and hot discussions ensued that caused great confusion in the hall. The sacond minority report was defeated, 314 ayes, 371 noes, and the 25 Dowllng dele gates kept their seats. After more bitter speeches, the first minority report was de feated. 334 ayes, 363 noes, and the Wilson delegation retained their seats. The majority repirt on credentials, as originally submitted, was then adopted. The temporary organization was made permanent, and the reports of the com mittees on rules and resolutions were adopted. The Platform. The platform was adopted as follows: "We, the Democrats of Ohio, In con vention assembled, reaffirm our ad herence to the National platform adopted at Chicago In 1S96. But new and grave Issues have arisen threatening the safety of free government Itse.f, which should command at this time the most serious at tention of all patriotic citizens. "We enter protest against the doctrine that the President or Congress can gov ern acquired territory outside and inde pendently of the Constitution of the United States as a doctrine utterly sub servient of the principles of our Govern ment. The Declaration of Independence, the flag and the Constitution must every where stand together as emblems of hu man liberty and equal rights for all. and where one goes, all go. We, therefore, denounce Imperialism under any pretense as necessarily leading to militarism, and as wholly foreign to our system of Gov ernment, and declare that neither Con gress nor the President can exercise any power whatever not derived from the Constitution. We, therefore, denounce the Porto Rican tariff bill as a palpable violation of the doctrines of the fathers, and of the fundamental principles of our Government, which is based upon equal rights to all. "Trusts and monopolies formed for the purpose of arbitrarily controlling produc tion and prices in the interest solely of combined capital, if allowed to go on, can result only in Industrial serfdom for the mass of the peo-P-e. We, therefore, oppose such com bination, and demand that not only shall existing laws against combinations In restraint of trade be rigidly enforced, but believing that protective tariffs and railway discriminations have been and still are the chief supporters xl monopoly, we favor the removal of a.1 duties from imports monopolized by trusts and also demand the enactment and enforcement of such legislation as will prevent every species of discrimination, and believe that the courageous and nonest application of the Democratic maxim of 'equal rights to all and special privileges to none' will be effective to destroy and thereafter prevent any trust or combination of capital that Is prejudicial to the general welfare. . "We demand the repeal of all laws giv ing special privilege to any person, class, locality or interest. "We -denounce the currency law passed by the present Congress, which transfers to the banks the entire control of the pa per currency, thus laying the foundation for a money trust, which will have the power to control the prices of all prop erty and to atlmuJate or strangle busi ness. On the other hand, by requiring the Government to redeem all forms of cur rency In gold, it continues and multiplies the evils of the 'endless chain' and im poses upon the Government the entire burden of supplying gold for export when ever demanded and to obtain which It must Issue bonds when necessary, thus necessitating not only a perpetual debt, but a perpetually Increasing debt. In lieu of a currency of bank promises to pay, to be expanded and contracted as the In terest of banks alone may dictate, we de mand that the General Government shall not only coin the metals, but shall Issue and regulate the volume of paper cur rency also in the interest of all the peo ple, and that all currency intended to cir culate as money shall be legal tender and be maintained at a parity of value and be regulated with a view to maintaining stable price levels and safe business con ditions. "We affirm anew our undiminished faith In the acknowledged leader of our party. William Jennings Bryan, and demand his nomination at Kansas City for President of the United States, and the delegates elected by this convention are instructed to so cast their otes." A resolution was adopted requesting the Ohio delegation to Kansas City to pre sent a proposition to the National Demo cratic Committee to locate Its headquar trs In Columbus. The Nominations. Colonel James Kilbourne, of Columbus; Judge Abraham W. Patrick, of New Phil adelphia; William A. Thomas, of Spring field, and Horace L. Chapman, of Jackson, were declared elected delegates to the Kansas City convention. The names of Dr. R. H. Remelln, of Cin cinnati, and Harry H. McFadden, editor of the Steubenville Gazette, were pre sented for Secretary of State, but before the call of counties was completed Reme lln's name was withdrawm and McFadden was nominated by acclamation. The names of SIraon Wynnevof "Zhnes" vllle, and Allen" W. Smalley. of Upper San dusky, were presented for Supreme Judge. Before the result of the balloting was announced Wynne's name was withdrawn and Judge Sma-'Iey was nominated by ac clamation. For" Dairy and Food Commissioner the names of W. N. Cowden, of Guernsey; B. B. Yates, of Pickaway; Dr. Theodore M. Garrott, of Henry; Dr. Thomas T Shields-, of Union, and Newton T. Bunnell, of War ren, were presented. At this point the convention -was precipitated into such dis order that the chairman sent for a de tachment of police. When the police en tered they filed down the aisles, with tho chairman yelling orders to club them down. -The police were ordered to take some men out, but they restored order without making arrests. Their services were retained for the rest of the evening. On the second ballot, Yates was nomi nated. Professor J. D. Slmpllns, of St. Mary's, was nominated for State School --Com-mlEioner without opposition; also. P. H. Brown, of Chillicothe. for member of the Board of Public Works. For Electors-at large. General I. R. Sherwood, of Toledo, and General A. J. Warner, of Marietta, were nominated without opposition. At 7:30 P. M. the convention adjourned sine die. MOUNT REFUSES. Will Jfot Honor Requisition for Re turn of Taylor to Kentucky. INDIANAPOLIS, June 13. Governor Mount tonight issued a statement declin ing to honor a requisition from. Governor Beckham, of Kentucky, for the return to that state of William S. Taylor, who is under indictment for complicity In an al leged plot which resulted In the assassina tion of Governor Goebel. Colonel Thomas G. Campbell, Justus Goebel, brother of the murdered man, and Sheriff Suter, of Franklin County, Kentucky, arrived here this afternoon with the requisition. They met the Governor in the executive parlors, and at his orders every one was excluded during tho arguments, including reporters. After hearing the arguments. Governor Mount asked for the papers In the case, which Include copies ot the evidence, and said he would consider the matter. He did not know when he would decide. The Kentucklans then left the city for Louis ville and Cincinnati. Late tonight Governor Mount announced his decision refusing to honor the requi sition. Governor Mount Includes in his statement a denunciation of the alleged injustice of the Goebel election law, and asserts that Mr. Taylor has been robbed of the office to which the people of Ken tucky elected him. In conclusion he says: "Another phase of the question that deserves to be challenged Is the action of the General Assembly In setting aside the enormous sum of $100,000 as a reward for the conviction of persons suspected of hav ing been concerned In the killing of Mr. Goebel. That In itself Is accepted by all right-thinking people as a tempting invita tion for the propagation of wholesale per jury, and a premium, on moral and phj st eal assassination. "Until those already In prison have been accorded a fair trial, thus demonstrating the possibility of securing justice in your courts, I cannot honor your requisition. When the time shall have come that I can feel assured that a fair trial will be ac corded Mr. Taylor, then, and not until then, will I honor a requisition for his return." The Governor's statement Is in the form of a letter addressed to Governor Beck ham. Bryan's Tnxen. LINCOLN, Neb., June 13. Reports ot the City Assessor show that WllLam J. Bryan pays more taxes on personal prop erty than any other man in L'ncoln or Lancaster Counties. In 1SS9 bis property was assessed at $2S0O, and this year at $4560. The Increase is mostly in bank ac counts and credits. GRAZING PERMITS All Those Pending Signed by Hitchcock. STOCK HAY NOW ENTER RESERVES Dolllver's Boom for the Vice-Presidency Is Improving Cnaadler on the Situation. WASHINGTON, June IS. The Secretary of the Interior today signed all the pend ing permits allowing the grazing of sheep on the Cascade, Ashland and a pornon of the Bull Run forest reserves of Oregon, and sheep will be allowed to enter these reserves Immediately. At the request ol Representative Moody, this order was telegraphed to Superintendent Ormsby, in order Immediately to accommodate tha sheepmen.

Last year the sheep on the reserve numbered but 137,973. Hanna Favors Dolllver.
