mm A3 MATE Gorman Forms Com bination With Editor. SENATOR IS VERY HOPEFUL He Believes South Only Went to Parker to Beat Hearst OVERTURES TO CLEVELAND Maryland Candidate Tries to Make ex-President Believe He Is the -Logical Candidate in Hopes of Getting His Support. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash., June 25. An interesting Democratic com bination has been formed, and is working with a great deal of earnestness toward a single purpose. It is to secure the nom ination of Arthur P. Gorman, for Presi dent, and John R. McLean, for Vice President. Gorman comes from Maryland and McLean from Ohio. Nominally both are more Washington men than anything else. Outside of McLean's" newspaper in Cincinnati, all. of his large interests are centered in Washington. Gorman has been more of a Washington man than a Maryland man for many years, although he retains his residence In .Maryland, dif fering from McLean, who -has two resi dences in Washington. He scarcely ever lives in Cincinnati. Makes Overtures to Cleveland. Not long ago Gorman sent some of his trusted, lieutenants to the Intimate friends of Grover Cleveland, assuring Cleveland that he (Gorman) would give his earnest and undivided support to Cleveland should the latter consent to run for President, and that all of the past, differences that arose between Cleveland and Gorman dur ing the last Democratic administration would be wiped out, and that .Gorman, in the Interest of rehabilitating the Dem ocratic party, would loyally support the former President. When this message was sent, it was known that Cleveland regarded himself as an Impossibility, and his closest friends know that he is a physical impossibility. Some of them go so far as to say that to accept the nomination for the Presi dency and undertake the worries of a Presidential campaign and a Presidential term, would cost him his life, long before tie could serve out his term. It Is gener ally believed that Gorman sent the word to Cleveland In order to secure the Cleve land support for himself, and the friendly Interests of Cleveland men who will be at St. Louis When Gorman seeks the nomina tion. But McLean figures In it still further. McLean would prefer to be on the ticket with Cleveland, because there would be a greater opportunity for McLean to be come President If Cleveland should be elected and carry him through, than there would be If Gorman were nominated. At the same time, his closest political alii nnce has been with Gorman, and he knows that there is a bare possibility of Gorman's nomination. As to This Possibility. Gorman stands a better chance of se curing the nomination now than he ever did before. There was a possibility of his securing the nomination in 1S92, but the overwhelming Cleveland strength, to gether with strong men like William C. Whitney, beat down every political bar- . rler that Gorman raised to Cleveland's nomination, and he made scarcely a rip pie upon the convention. Just now it is different. The Hearst and Bryan crowd have scared the Democrats into support ing Parker. By abuse of Parker, Bryan has arrayed a great many conservative Democrts in favor of the New York Judge. Southern states, In order to de feat Hearst, had to . have a candidate, and they selected Parker as their man. A great many states went so far as to instruct for Parker in order to prevent Hearst from gaining control of their dele gations. Now that delegates, have been chosen there is some doubt about Parker being able to secure the nomination, and In case he is defeated after several ballots to whom would the Democrats turn? Gor man says they would turn to him, and with a fairly strong nucleus to start with he might be able to capture the South ern states. That Is what he relies on, and It is the scheme which Gorman and McLean are playing to win at St. Louis. TO ASK CROKER TO TAKE HAND Van Wyck and CarrolFm England to Get Him to Write Cleveland. LONDON, Juno 25. Ex-Ma"yor Van "Wyck, of New York, and John F. Car roll, who arrived at Liverpool on the Cunard Line Campania today, accom panied by a number of political friends, reached London tonight and took up their quarters at the Carleton Hotel, where many Americans greeted them.

New York Daily News Strongly Advo cates His Nomination. NEW YORK. June 25. The New York Dally News; which has recently changed hands, and has come out as a straight Democratic newspaper and is recognized as the organ of Tammany Hall, will tomorrow print a three-page article advocating George B. McCIel lan, the present Mayor, as nominee of the Democratic party for the Presi dency. On account of . the paper's policy, knowledge of tho publication has cre ated much speculation In local political quarters, where it is construed as Indi cating the beginning of a strong cam r&tgn to nomihate McClellan.

Moreover, France practically furnished the. money from which the ransom was paid, as the recent French loan of $12,500, 000 gave the Sultan the means to meet Ralsuli's demand for 570,000 ransom. The Raisuli incident is going to have an Important effect on the adoption of a Arm French policy toward Morocco. The correspondent of the Associated Press learns that definite steps have already been taken to inaugurate French author Ity. M. Delcasse has selected M. Ralndre, the ex-French representative at Geneva, td take up the organization of the Mo roccan customs at the ports, Including Tangier. The recent French loan to Mo rocco is guaranteed by the customs re ceipts. Therefore, M. Ralndre will over see the customs administration. He Is now organizing a large staff. The next step will be the organization of French police or gendarmerie at Tangier. It appears by ail accounts, including that of Perdicaris himself, as set down in his letters, that he did not suffer undue hardship; that lie was treated with kind ness and consideration by Raisuli and that he has no ill-feeling toward that, to him, agreeable bandit. No sufficient rea son exists why any further demands should be made upon the Sultan of Mo rocco either for Indemnity or the punish ment of the kidnapers. If the Sultan chooses to take vengeance upon Raisuli, that is his own affair. American Ships to Leave. "WASHINGTON, June 25.

W10NGLY TAKEff TOE 10QJOS, Name of Ellis and Missing American Were Confused. PARIS. June 25. The whereabouts of. Kent J. Loomis, brother of the American Assistant Secretary of State Francis B. Loomis. who disappeared shortly berore or after the arrival of the North German Lloyd steamer Kalier Wllhelm II at Plymouth. June 29; remains in the same state of doubt as yesterday. The officials who are conducting the search .for the missing man, say there is no truth In the report published by a London newspaper to the effect that Loomis turned up nere yesterday. The announcement probably resulted from confusing the names of Loomis and W. H. Ellla Thejatter sailed from Marseilles this afternoon ior Abyssinia. NOW SEARCHING HOSPITALS. Consul-General Evans Doing Every thing to Locate Loomis. LONDON. June 23. The mystery which surrounds the disappearance of Kent J. Loomis is no nearer a solution. Not a solitary clew as to his whereabouts . has resulted from nearly, a week's widespread Investigation ConsuUGeneral Evans and the assistant consuls liave made and are still maldng- all possible inquiries, but without the faintest trace of the missing man. The statement of Gustav Flamm, of San Francisco, a passenger on the Kaiser Wll helm II, that he saw Loomis at Plymouth, Is so far uncorroborated. The American Consul at that port says the Board of Trade figures, which presumably tally with the number of passengers who came off the steamer, show that 158 persons landed, all of whom Rave their names, These tally with the passenger list, and Loomis' name Is not among them. At the request of Consul-General Evans, the hospitals at Plymouth are new beinsr searched. Scotland Yard also has the matter in hand, and the English papers, especially the local pa pers at Plymouth, give prominence to the American's di3aoDeafance. so If Loomis Is In EnglanH and in possession of his faculties he could scarcely fall to- know he is being looked for. The authorities here are unable to form even a conjectural explanation of Loomis' disappearance. The theory that Mr. Loomis fell overboard finds no sup port, and tho suggestion that he may have unintentionally disembarked at Plymouth is how regarded as quite out of the question. The utter failure of all efforts here and oh the Continent to discover, any trace of the missing- man excites much Interest and no little apprehension among the large class of the public taking- trans-Atlantic voyages or whose friends often cross the Atlantic. Tho circumstances connecting Loomis with the Abyssinian treaty create espe cial interest here, as the sphere of in fluence of that country is one of the matters especially engaging the atten tltin of European diplomats, and as an nounced in these dispatches is one of the subjects of which exchanges of con fidential communications are occurring between Great Britain and Russia. Ellis Also in Ignorance. MARSEILLES. June 25. The Messaser- les Marltlmea steamer Oxus sailed this afternoon for Abyssinia with W. J. Ellis, carrying the box containing the commer cial treaty between the- United States and Abyssinia on board. Mr. Ellis was ac companied by a secretary and a servant- Careful inquiry aboard the ship and at the offices of the company showed that Kent J. Loomis was not aboard the ves sel. So far as can be ascertained the whereabouts of Mr. Loomis is not known to Mr. Ellis. The Consulate here is also without information. House Defeats Motion to Censure. OTTAWA, Oht, June 25.

Haytl's apology for the insult to the French Minister at Port Au Prince, M. Deprez, who was stoned by the palace guards recently, has been received by the Foreign Office, but does not give satisfaction. It appears to seek to make light of the Incident. The onl clals here are not disposed to assume a belligerent attitude toward a small power, but they expect Hayti adequately to real ize and redress the offenses. This con tributed to the decision to send a war ship to Haytlen waters. Orders have been issued to the, com mander of the French squadron at Fort de France, Island of Martinique, to de tach a warship for Port Au Prince. Be sides securing redress this ship will as sist in the protection of foreigners who are constantly menaced by the anti foreign element. However, the officials do not expect the Incident to take on a serious aspect, as it is understood that Hayti Is ready to concede everything that France is likely to ask.
