Even after this positive declaration, according to those present, there was the greatest difficulty In' convincing Mr. Piatt that It was time for him to act.

Sfcil I Th Sr Yfrk Timtt. IT. LOUIS, June T. -William F. Bheehan of New York held an extended conference thla evening; with John II.

At-mood of Leavenworth, Kan. It la now believed that tho Kansas delegation to the Deiaoeratlo National Convention will be unanimous for nominating Judge Parker for President. Atwood has extensive Influence tn party affair tn Kansas. Of- the twenty delegates elected at tho recent Stat Convention ten were for Hearst and ten for soma couserva-tlev candidate, but there were no Instructions. It was thoua-ht that If Parker developed considerable streaarth oefore the convention the ten conservatives would favor Parker's nomination, but there was little dlepoalttoa to promise In advance.

While the utmost reserve has beeu maintained regarding the exact nature of the interview between 8hehan and Atwood. the former Is recognised as Judge Parker's snowthptec. and any promisee he might have made would be nonored by the Judge. It eeeras probable that not only will the ten conservative from Kansas support Parker but the Hearst men considering their cause hope leas will trail in sfter their colleagues and support the KewYork Judge.

Foreign Minister Del-casne attended the sitting to-day of the Foreign Affairs Committee of the Chamber of Deputies, He gave a detailed explanation of the Anglo-French convention.

Being asked whether the agreement gave to Franco the eventual light to occupy or protect the Moorish1 Empire, M. Delcasse said tha he could not foresee the, future. All he could say was that France had rights In Morocco which nobody any longer contested, and that she was capable of making use of prerogatives which all the powers recognised without Injuring the Interests of any. The published statement thkt the French Mediterranean Squadron has been ordered to Tangl.ir meets with a specific denial at the Foreign Olflce here, where It Is added that no French squadron will be sent to Tangier unless extraordinary developments arise. A telegram from the representatives of the Sultan has reached the diplomatic officials at Tangier, saying that a lettter Is now on Its way fully defining what the Sultan Is willing to do in order to secure the release of the prisoners.

LONDON. June 7 The Foreign Office denies th. report that the British Mediterranean Squadron has sailed for Tangier, as cabled from Gibraltar. The squadron did sail from Gibraltar this morning, but returned to that port this afternoon. Only one ship, as originally reported, will be sent to Tangier.

It Is believed that with the co-operation of France satisfactory arrangements can be made by Great Britain and the Untt States for! the release of Messrs. Perdlcarls and Var- uy. I WASHINGTON. June 7. Rear Chadwlck.

A special train consisting- of an engine and two coaches bearing fifty union miners deported from Cripple Creek by the cltlxens. passed through this city this evening. It was going at the rate of thirty miles an hour, and did not stop here.

The first oar waa empty and tha second car had all the blinds drawn and armed guards were on the -platform. The police and Sherlf officers were determined not to let the deported men stop and arrangements were made with the Rio Grande Road to carry them past this city. It Is presumed they are headed for Denver. About S0O people were at th station to see the train pass through, but there was no demonstration. KNOWN DEAD TOTAL 17.

Other Victims May Have Been Blown to Pieces by Infernal Machine. VICTOR, Col-. June 7. Fifteen deatha have resulted from the dynamite outrage at Independence, and several of the Injured are In a critical condition. It Is believed that the bodies of several other men wera blown to atoms.

Two men were killed and eight wounded In th subsequent rioting here. Excitement' was at a high pitch throughout the night. From dark till dawn the principal streets were almost aa crowded as they were during the day by thousands of men and women who had assembled from all parts of the camp in anticipation of further bloodshed. Aside from the occasional arrest of a union agitator by th military authorities or the Sheriffs deputies, and the occasional report of a from some dark, secluded spot In the foothills, however, the night passed off quietly. All however, the streets of the city and the footpaths leading to and from the mines were watched closely by the troops and the deputies, and every few minutes a miner was brought In and placed In th armory, which is under heavy military guard.

The dragnet waa cast far and wide, and more than 150 union miners, said to be th leaders of the riot of yesterday, are now lounging; about on the hard floor of the armory. Excitement at Train's Arrival. At midnight a special train of five coaches drawn by a heavy engine pulled In on the Florence and Cripple Creek aiding near the temporary boil-pen." and the suppressed excitement was suddenly raised to fever heat. It was rumored, and apparently with some foundation, that twelve or fifteen of the recognised leaders of the union were to be turned over to Sheriff Bell, and that all other prisoners were to be deported from th camp. As soon as th train backed on to the siding Secretary C.

C. Hamlin of the Mine Owners' Association. Sheriff Ben. Mayor French, and Capt. Moore went Into conference at the military headquarters.

In about thirty minutes Hamlin came out of hla private room and telephoned to the railroad officials that the train would hot be needed at that time. When this Information went the rounds those who had been expecting trouble gave a sigh of relief, and many went to their homes. A thoroughly organised Vigilance Committee, composed "of mine owner and their employes and sympathizers, baa taken charge of the government of Teller County, and large squads of armed men are patrol-ing the district. These men are ostensibly acting' under orders of Edward Bell, the new Sheriff, who is a large property owner and an outspoken opponent of th miners' union. A posse of 300 deputy sheriffs armed with rifles and revolvers is scouring the bills of the Cripple Creek district, with the object of rounding up every union man and every Idler tn the camp.

Sheriff Henry M. Robertson resigned under compulsion. He was forcibly taken to th headquarters of the Mine Owners' Association and his resignation demanded. At first he refused to resign, but, when finally a coll of rope wss thrown at his feet, he weakened and signed the resignation which had been provided for htm. The first act of Sheriff Bell was to take away the star of Under Sheriff J.

Knox Burton. He then appointed twenty-five deputies, to which force large additions have since been made, and later he disarmed the union officers who had been appointed by City Marshal Michael O'Con-nell. Meantime. O'Connell had visited the Mine Owners headquarters, tn which about thirty armed men were assembled, and demanded tha they surrender their arms him. He was forcibly ejected, and aft-rr being deposed from office by Mayor French was placed under arrest.

Many of the other regularly chosen peace officers jof th various towns In the district have also been, deposed and some of them locked up. The feeling- la strong against Alfred Miller. 1 who ta aald to have started th rioting here, and ex-City Marshal Michael O'Connell. by It ta asserted, union men, who fired on people tn th atreets from th union hall, had been sworn In aa deputies and armed, and Harvey Starbuck, ex-Marshal of Independence. Every person In the district has taken sides with on faction or the other here, and nobody would be surprised should rioting break out anew at any moment.

Th Western Federation of Minora shall be banished from th district declare the mine owners. I It. has not been proved that the dynamiting- waa dona by th federation. retort the union men, who aay they have a right to organise and to remain In Victor. Both stdea express a determlnatloa to fight to tha end.

Business la practically suspended. All saloons have been closed by order of the authorities. Many merchants have closed their stores, and all who can do ao are Increasing their Insurance. Ho Ready for Rioters. The crowds around th depot continued to Increase during th day, and th soldiers and deputies experienced some difficulty In keeping- th streets free of blockades.

By order of Mayor French, the Fire De partment stretched a line of 'hose alon Victor Avenue and Third Street to the armory. In order to disperse the crowd without resorting- to arm. Mayor French said that tn bis opiadoa no nor troop wera nesoea nerev "Company now on duty, consist of sixty ho said. ana the number can be tncreased to 100 If necessary. Bo-sides these soldiers have 100 armed deputies.

June T. Nearly BOO troop are mobilized at Colorado Spring and neighboring towns and can bo rushed to the Cripple Creek district on short notice. 'Acting Gov. Warren-A. Haggott la considering the question of declaring martial law in Teller County.

He aald to-night that he bad written a proclamation for that purpose, but was holding It back pending further advices on th situation there. He Intimated that th proclamation would probably be published within a few hours. Adjutant Gen. Sherman M. Bell and six officers of the National Guard left Denver for Cripple Creek to-night.

Gen. Bell said be was going- up merely to slse up the situation. It Is probable that the martial law proclamation will be Issued on hla arrival at Cripple Creek. The fact that Sheriff BelLth successor of the deposed Teller County official, has expressed a determination to handle the situation without the aid- of troops other than the local companies gives assurance to many that the cltlxens of the camp have offered him all the assistance necessary to meet the conditions, and that the trouble will be brought to an end by sheer, fore of pluck. Sheriff Bell la known as a man of nerve, and this was demonstrated When he compelled tile deputies appointed by th deposed City Marshal of Victor to surrender their commissions and guns to him personally.

No attempt is being- made by the so-called vigilantes and the new police officers to Interfere with crowds who congregate on the atreets, and although nearly every on Is carrying arms unconcealed. Sheriff Bell and his deputies and the soldiers mingle freely among them, searching- for persons upon whose arrest they are bent. ST, LOUIS, June 7. Gov. Peabody of Colorado left for Colorado to-day at 2:15 M.

over the Burlington route. Before his departure the Governor said: "Telegrams received to-day show that the situation at Victor Is very much Improved, and that comparative quiet Is maintained. The Lieutenant Governor ha th situation very well in hand, but have deemed It best to return at onoe. In case other, complications should arise."

Kenney, who waa opposed to the word "Instruct." He offered a resolution that the delegatea be "requested to place Judge Gray's name bo-fore the National Convention.
