The conduit bill was the cole topic of discussion in the Council at its last meeting. Each member has now in his pocket a printed copy of the measure Just as It passed the House of Delegates. A committee meeting has been held at which three persons were neard who were anxious to have the bill passed.

Nathan Frank spoke favor of the measure as it stand3 and urged its passage without further delay. Representative Meaney of the long distance telephone company asked that ttie bill be reported with such modifications as would permit his company to enter the field, 'free to as it pleased in every particular. Attorney Price for the Edison people spoke briefly and asked for additional concessions for the company he represents. When the arguments were concluded the committee, accompanied by most of the members of the Council, went into -executive session to discuss the bill. When at ttte meeting of the Council proper the Committee on Public Improvements was called Chairman Horton answered "no report," and then stated that the committee would hold another meeting at 4:30 o'clock Wednesday to further discuss the measure.

There seems to be no opposition to the bill from any wire using company except an occasional suggestion as to minor details. No citizen opposed the bill for the probable reason that a layman is hardly able to grasp the full meaning of the measure, or what effect particular clauses will have upon the general welfare of the city. That there are several glaring defects in the measure is well known to members of the Council, and they realize that the present bill as it stands will put the telephone users entirely in the power of the Bell company, which can raise its rates to an unlimited height as soon as it pleases. President McMath of the Board of Public Improvements, upon whom most of the heavy work will fall if the bill is passed, looks upon it with decided disfavor. There are a number of provisions in it which he fe-els assured will give the wire companies all sorts of chances to evade being controlled and permit them to do pretty much as they please.

There will be a meeting of the Council Thursday to hear the report of the committee, if the report is made. The House of Delegates has decided to meet at the same time to be ready in case the ordinance passes the Council either as It is or In an amended form.

Arbugkle, chairman, who is in Arizona.

Mr. Newell read a message from Mr. Arbuckle regretting his absence, and saying that he was in sympathy with those Democrats of Colorado who were fighting for the restoration of silver, and concluding: "Manhood and self-respect are more to me than any Federal office." J. R. MacAliney was unanimously chosen temporary chairman, the nomination being made by Judge Gunnell of the El Paso delegation, who stated that he reprtsented that element of Colorado Democrats who cast half of the votes at the last general election.

Mr. MacAliney addressed the convention briefly, declaring that a majority of the Democrats of Colorado believed the free coinage of silver 'to be the paramount issue before the country, and expressing the belief that the National Democratic Convention would declare for it without reference to the co-operation of other countries. The strength of the silver men in the convention was shown by 'the enthusiasm with which this remark was received. John E. Brothers was selected temporary secretarv.

The selection of Committee on Credentials and Order of Business consumed the morning session. An unusual feature of the convent-ion was the small number of women delegates, there being but ten in the total representation of 463. NEBRASKA'S CONVENTION. Republicans Will Select McKinley Supporters Wednesday Night. OMAHA, April 15.

The Republican State Convention will convene this evening to elect four delegates to the St. Louis National Convention. The programme to select McKinley supporters will be carried out. There will be some opposition from friends of Gen. Manderson, but insufficient to disturb the slate as previously arranged.

The election of at least three of the dele-gates-at-large will be but a question of putting the motion to elect by acclamation. John L. Webster of Douglass County, T. P. Kennard of Lancaster and Peter Jansen.of Jefferson are as good as elected.

There is no disposition noticeable in any quarter to oppose their selection. As to the fourth delegate at large, there is still uncertainty. Up to yesterday afternoon the onlv apparent candidates were Matt Daughterly of Ogalalla and E. B. Warner of North Piatt.

But the arrival of the leaders of the Hall County delegation put an entirely new phase on the situation. The Hall County men immediately projected George H. Thummel of Grand Island into the contest, and from a sniall beginning, made late in the afternoon, the Thummel boom had grown to formidable proportions to-day. At this hour all interest in the contest centers upon Daugherty, Warner and Thummel. The State Central Committee meets late this afternoon.

The ccntest from Thurston County will be listened to behind closed doors. It Is the only contest before the convention and the recommendation of the State Central Committee will doubtless be accepted. The money plank of the platform will be quite similar to that of the Ohio Convention. "THE FIGHT LOST."

P. A. AS AN ELEMENT. Msmbers of iho Katianal Aivistry Board Are Actively Exerting Their Influence Against McKinly. LOUISVILLE, April 13.

Aside from the personal controversies at issue, the noveltj- of the occasion is appreciated by the Kentucky Republicans who are here in attendance at the State Convention to-day. The lines between the factions are clearly drawn, leaders and delegates are compelled by force of circumstances to take a decided position on personal issues involved, and the earnestness with which the internal strife is waged augurs tio good for the future of Kentucky's Republicanism unless the convention shall give one side an unquestionable dominance. Dr. W. G.

Hunter, the most active. If not the noisiest anti-Bradley leader, got here this morning from Bowling Green, where he- yesterday succeeded in having two McKinley delegates sent to Louis from the Third District. He and Mayor Todd and their followers were busy all morning preparing for the fight they are to make on the floor of the convention when the State Central Committee announces the Bradley slate for temporary organization. This will recommend Judge T. Z.

Morrow of Somerset, the Governor's brother-in-law, for temporary chairman and Fred Roberts of Owensbero for temporary Secretary. The anti-Bradley element will then nominate George Denny, for chairman from the floor of the convention and the first accurate information either side can have of its numerical strength will be furnished by the vote on these officers. There are several contests that will take up all the spare moments of the Credential Committee. The uncertainty of the situation ha3 been heightened bv the presence in the city of Judge J. II.

D. Stevens of Missouri, C. P. Johnson of -Illinois and Mr. Senior of New York, three members of the National Advisory Board of the P.

A. They came to town unheralded, and have been very busy making a man-to-man canvass of the delegates of to-day's convention. Their influence, it is said, is being actively exerted against McKinley, who has a large number of instructed delegates, and many friends emonj those who are uninstructrd, and who, it is acknowledged, will receive the practically united anti-Bradley support, under existing circumstances ttiis A. P. A.

movement is necessarily a pro-Bradley movement, for there are but two principals in the fight for supremacy to-day. However, the Bradley men disclaim any responsibility for the presence of the mysterious emissaries and deny that the.r endeavors are part of the Bradley campaign. The platform, which will not be reached until this evening, will reflect the particular phases of Republican doctrine represented by the dominant faction. As the Bradley men seem reasonably certain of a rate working majority.the declarations will, no doubt, favor protection, reciprocity and an unequivocal advocacy of the goid standard. DATE KOI CHARGED.

The Illiaois Democratic Stats Commit-tes Will Meet Next Monday. Special to the Post-Dispatch. SPRINGFIELD, 111.. April 15. Last night Chairman- Hinrichsen of the Democratic) State Central Committee was wired by Secretary.

Nelson of Chicago, asking if It would "not ba best to postpone the meeting of the Central Committee, which is set for next) Monday in the Sherman House, Chicago, on account of many municipal elections being held the day following, which would probably prohibit many delegates and others from attending. Mr. Hinrichsen replied that the committee rould meet as stated in his call last week. He saw no reason why the committee, as well as the politicians, could not be there Just as well on next Monday as on any other time, and that it would not be judicious to change the date and take any risk of entangling matters. The committee would meet next Monday.

The sound money people are endeavoring to control the caucus, and also the coming convention. The free silver element, however, are alive, and will have a free silver plank adopted -when the State convention meets. TILLMAN'S PITCHFORK. In Fine Shape Now to Prod the Wall Street Goldbug's.

THE HUHT FOR TAYLOR. Indications That George Has Bten Hiding' Near His Utcls's. Special to The Post-Dispatch. CARROCLTON, April 15. Last night about 8:30 a telegram was received from the constable at Bogard stating he had a clue to George Taylor's whereabouts.

A posse of men, in all about twenty-five, left at ence heavily armed and went to the house of George's uncle, D. Minnis, about one mile north of Bogard, and in a secluded place on his farm found where a man had been sleeping, found a coat which had been used for a p.llow. bread crumbs and pieces of meat and bandages, which had apparently been used to tie up a man's hand. A reliable citizen in that vicinity informed the posse that he had seen a man who he was confident was George Taylor there Tuesday evening. Most of the men who left here have not returned.

The bloodhounds Rave been taken out to th? place, but no report has been received from there. The fact that D. Minnis is a relative of Taylor, the bandages and other circumstances, together with the report that George had been recognized there, lead many here to believe the report true.
