St: Louis, July 5. The most sensa
tional move of .the entire political sit
uation was made today when at 10
o'clock It was announced by the antl
arker leaders that a combination
against Parker had finally been -effected.
At that hour the anti-Parker lead
era authorized Harlan Cleveland, in
charge of the boom of Former Attorney-General
Harmon to wire Harmon
at Cincinnati to have a letter in St.
Louis on Wednesday morning stating
his position in 1896. If the letter sat
isfies Bryan, Harmon will be the
choice of the antls, and they will con
centrate their strength on him to
beat Parker. The strength of Olney,
Wall, Cockrell, Hargen and Gray
formed the nucleus of the deal, and
the Bryant-Hearst forces completed
It The basis for the move Is consti
tuted in a petition .secretly circulated
during the night by the antis, which
was numerously signed. It is confi
dentially announced that 400 dole
gates are in the combine, and all are
pledged against Parker on the first
and second ballots. The compact does
not extend beyond that period, but the
antic declare they are just as skillful
in a political game as their opponents,
and, with this foothold, they will be
able to defeat Parker. They say that
the future will take care of itself and
declare that the Gotham jurist is now
in the most dangerous position, being
within striking distance of the goal,
and not able to clinch it. The states
with favorite sons1 are claimed to be
solidly held in the agreement of the
antis, Missouri, Wisconsin, Massachu
setts, Ohio and Delaware, represent
ing 146 votes. All the power of the
new machine ha3 beeni set to work to
Win back Guffy, of Pennsylvania, there
by weakening the effect of the coup
by the Parkerltes last night.
Although' the conservative leaders,
especially the Parkerltes, claim not to
bo Interested ini Bryan, and attempt
to treat the Nebraskan with cold dis
dain, the fct is Ihey, as well as ev
erybody elso here, are mighty anxious
to answer, tho question "What is
Bryan going to do?" Every possible
means has beeni been resorted to to
smoke out tho silver leader, but he
refuses to bo smoked.
"I am going to decide the question
of my position without anybody's
help," said Bryan to our corre
spondent. "My friends ought to give
me credit for being able to do this,
and I give them, credit of being able
to decide for themselves, without any
advice from me."
Bryan's rooms have been one storm
center ever since ho arrived. Both
friends and enemies have called, the
former for advice and to swear fealty,
the latter to abuse and to try, by
angering the radical leader, to get him
to make an Indiscreet statement, but
Bryan's temper remains unruffled, and
his replies to his friends' and foes
alike are given with smiling courtesy.
It seems to be the general opinion
that Bryan will make the speech of
his life at tho first opportunity he
gets in the convention.
In an. exclusive statement for ho
Scrips News Association W. J. Bryan
today gave his opinion of conditions
as. they appeared at 9 o'cleck: "The
rdtuatlon is unchanged. The additions
to the Parker list are not sufficient to
insure his nomination. I take it for
granted that there will be a strong
anti-trust plank In the platform."
Far from surrender was the attitude
of the anti-Parker men In touch with
Brian, today. The Nebraskan was
aroused at all hours of the night, and
shortly after 9 o'clock this morning
Senator Jones, of Nebraska, sent for
him to take part Im am important con
ference, while a series of conferencoi
are planned for today.
St. Louis, July 15. When tho anti
Parker leaders learned today that It
was known that they had signed an
agreement to stand together against
Parker, they admitted tho existence of
such a document. They said they
were willing to grant that the Parker
forces would attack tho on this
point, and declared It possible to lose
part of their forces, but only through
treachery. The Parker leaders wore
amazed at the adroitness of the move.
It is declared that the leaders for fa
vorite sons have signed the compact,
as follews: Pettlgrew for Hearst;
Saulsbury for Gray; Cleveland of Cin
cinnati for Harmon; Stone for Cock
rell, and authorized leaders of Mass
achusetts and Wisconsin for Olney and
Wall. These are the states claimed
to be represented In the cempact:
California 20 votes, Colorado 10, Del
aware C, Florida 5, half of Idaho' G,
Illinois 54, Iowa 26, Kansas 10, one-
half of Maryland 16, Nevada C, New
Jersey 24, Ohio 46, Rhode Island 8,
South Dakota 8, Utah 8, Washington
10, Wisconsin 26, Wyoming 6, Arizona
6, Hawaila 6, New Mexico 6, Oklaho
ma 6, Porto Rice 6; total 435. This
leaves Parker 557 out of 992 votes1 In
the convention, not counting the Phil
ippine delegation.
St. Louis, July 5 Tho na'Ional
committee this morning heard all the
reports of all sub-committees save the
one considering tho Illinois contests.
Ini every instance tho committee de
cided to acknowledge the delegations
with the regular credentials, also seat
ing contests from the tenth Indiana
and second Maine districts, first, sec
ond and seventh) New Jersey and
twelfth Ohio, first, second, third,
fourth, fifth and sixth Pennsylvania
districts, flrst and second' South Da
kota district, and the District of Co
lumbia. The committees meets again
this afternoon to take up tho thir
teenth Illinois cases. Tho reports of
the sub-committees is unanimous1 In
favor of seating tho Hopkins dele
gates. Tho New York delegation, at
Its meeting this morning, referred the
resolution by Bourko Cochran to
David B. Hill, member of tho commit
tee on resolutions, declaring for a
plain s'atement In tho platform that
the decision of tho people on the
money issue, ai? twice expressed at
the polls, should be accepted as a final
settlement of tho question. Senator
Ballev of Texas, has declined tho po
sition of permanent chairman of tho
convention, but will become a mem
ber of tho committee on resolutions.
No decision has yet been reached' as
to who will bo tho permanent officers
of the convention.
Parker Leaders Confident.
Parker leaders now estimate that
ho will have 608 votes on tho first bal
lot. Tho Hearst strength Is estimated
at 192, while 14Q votes are divided
among favorite sons. Tho latter aro
expected! by the Parkerltes to throw
their strength to tho New York jur-

Tho Roseburg "Shamrocks" have
lost their manager, the one and only
"Pap" Morrow. Just what caused the
divorce, for it seems to bo an abso
lute divorce, Is unknown, but, from
tho reports and rumors, "Pap" just
quit and left his happy home, tired
and weary of the ups an J downs of tho
llfo of a brush league magnate.
"Pap Morrow has a disposition of
somewhat an erratic turn, and does
not at all tlrao agreo with tho play
ers. In spite of all this, however, tho
boys like him, and are sorry to lose
him, but they say that they will grin
and bear -It.
The team arrived in Salem this
morning, on the early train from
Junction, where they played the
Fourth of July game with Eugene.
They cam to this city In order to
save tho expense of making the
double trip, back home and down
here again this week, as the cost of
travel would bo lessened by coming
direct to this city.
After their arrival hero tho mem
bers of tho team commenced to josh
their roanagor, and he grew quite
angry. He went to his room, and
when the street car started for the de
pot he occupIed'vone of tho reserved
seats, and' Is now in Roseburg, whero
ho will probably remain. The team
will finish) tho schedule, until tho
stockholders elect a new manager,
which they will probably do at an
early date. Tho flrst game of the
series will bo played in Athletic Parle
on Thursday.
Tho report that tho Oregon State
League was about to disband is with
out foundation, as tho four teams are
in good! financial condition, and expect
to complete tho season.
