This has been a memorable day in the history of tho republicrji party in lYxas. the'opinion of the ff.

o. p. leaders it murks a new era, and one which they hail with delight for the reason, they put it; thtit the time has come at last when a state republican assembly, even In Texas, means something-; when it carries it BM hn- porlajice that challenges the patriotic attention and undisguised interest of the best element of all the political organizations; the democratic party with its "brutal majority" not excepted. It would too, that tho Texas republicans have some ground for self congratulation when tt is remembered that tho attendance here has been tho largest in the history of the party, and when the personnel of visitors from other political organizations Is consideration. For instance, the democracy iias been well represented here since terday morning.

The actual chiefs of the party have been here in droves. The streets 'and Hotel lobbies have been full of them. Iii the Drlskill corridors to-day were llced such men as ex-Governor Hogg, Governor Culberson, J. G. Dudley, Hiram Geers of Harrison, ex-Senator Wood of Grayson, Colonel John N.

Simpson of DaJ- las, W. A. Moroney of Houston, now a candidate for state senator; Adjutant General Mabry, Colonel Kauffman of Gaiveston; Bryan Callaghan of San Antonio, Comptroller Finley and Allison Mayfield, to aay nothing of many underlings ot the official family and scores of other prominent ticiana who ca me from different sections. They have been mingling: with the republican delegates almost constantly, and many observing- people have wondered at what it all means. It uould scarcely be, they say, that these gentlemen of a different political completion, feel such an abiding- interest in a contest between republicans to see who shall So to the national republican convention as delegates from the stale at large.

It has been suggested by the knowing: ones that the Interest manifested by tho democrats results from a deep rooted fear that the Texas republicans will not place a straight ticket In the field for state ncers this year. One gentleman went so far to-night as to say that some of the democrats had been earnestly argiiing with republican leaders endeavoring- to convince them that it is absolutely necessary for the republican party to place candidates in the Held for state offices. Some of the republicans, however, do not take kindly to the gratuitous advice which is alleged to have been given them. They sa.y they are no longer in Texas for their health; that they are here to assail the bulwarks of democracy and capture everything possible. They say they are well aware, that if they put out a straight ticket instead of fusing with the populists on state offices It will mean an addition oC some 20.000 or 30.000 votes to the democrats which would otherwise go to the populists and weaken the democratic party to that extent.

It is evident that many of the most prominent republicans in the state take very kindly to the idea of fusing with the populists for the purpose of bringing about mutual benefits. Austin, Tex March the "1 told you sos" began to get in their workj and IOHK before the committee had completed Its labors bets were going that Cuney was the elector so far as the recommendations of the cbmmlttee were concerned, and that was the case. The Gal- 1 veston chief" had the committee body and soul, and then it became certain that his conquest was a foregone conclusion, as there was but little doubt that the convention would adopt the recommendations of the committee. Meantime the excitement began to die down and manv of the delegates left the lobbies to wander over the city. No definite reason for the failure of the McKInley-Reed combination proposed last night to materialize, has been given out, but something knocked it into a cocked hat.

It Is claimed by some that one of the reasons Is the fact that McDonald of the Reed crowd Insisted on holding down the temporary chairmanship as a condition of the compromise, and that the other parties to the deal refused to concede It to him on the ground that he could not hold the forces logether and that his election would stampede the boys to Cuney. Another reason assigned is that the Reed men concluded they could not deliver the goods in case they made a combine and let the whole matter go by default. It is known that during the flay Cuney was approached with different, messages of peace, and that he promptly refused to even consider any of the propositions. Late in the afternoon the news was received hore that the state of Minnesota had gone for McKinley, and it had the effect of stiffening the backbone of the Ohio man's following for a brief period, after which the depression returned and rapidly crew stronger. The convention, which reconvened shortly before 9 o'clock, proved to bo a stormy CHAIRMAN JOHN GRANT.

victory with to spare, and his followers soon got to that stage wlierc they did not care whether school kept or not. when the result was announced the yelling tha ensued would deafened a wooden In dian. I I doubtful if Austin ever before had anything like it. In his speech of thanks Cuney was ex tretnely pacific, and he soon had the boys hurrahing for him at a breakneck pace. I was a noticeable fact, however, that ever; time he began to laud Allison the delegates or a large number of them, persisted in shouting Cor the Ohio man.

As to Cuney's personal following, it has been demon strated that he is the biggest man by al odds In the republican camp. As to whethei he can deliver the goods from McKinley who Is clearly In the lead with Cuney ou of it, to Allison or not remains to bo tested. An unlnstructed delegation to St Louis iriar result. At any rate, that wil now bo the fight of the convention. Cuney has won the main victory; it remains to be seen whether or not he can rpeat the conquest.

nffair. Thero were 5000 or 6000 people In the pavilion and it was an unwieldy body. The "brotlu-r In black" was especially boisterous and it required a great deal of persuasion at the hands of Chairman Grant to bring order out of chaos. When tho report of the executive committee, recommending Cuney for temporary chairman, was read, a burst of applause went up that shook tho roof. Later when Rosenthal waa nominated, the applause was likewise deafening-, showing that the fight was not altogether one-sidrd and that the McKinley boys were still In tho saddle.

Chairman Grant camo very near wearing out a very handsome gavel as the vote proceeded. It was presented to tha convention by James B. Sargent of Orange county and It Is a beautiful piece of handiwork. j.t is an emblematical made of gum camphor wood which was grown Jn tha country. The handle is home jrrown bamboo, and the gavel Itself la encased In white and black bands, one on either aide.

As vote proceeded Cuney to draw away from hl3 opponent with a lead 7 gain and soon oncmo apparent that ho was an easy winner. Then tlie Itewl and Allison men became more hilarious and at times it wai very difficult to Uii couau Cunev. ium wjjji fcJa N.

W. CUNEY. (1'rom Photograph by SSahn.) The vote of the Thirteenth congressional district delegations for Cuney was a genuine surprise to the balance of the boys. It transpires, however, that Dr, Dodge of Worth and Denver City has been a loyal Allison man on the quiet and that he took time by the forelock and sent some smooth emissaries Into that district, who talked to tho boys out thero with the tongue of a siren. The result shows that tho emissaries did their work well.

It is believed to-night that the press cor- raspondents who have been predicting a big split in the ranks of the faithful, and two or three conventfons are prophets. It looks to-night aJ If there would be no split, but that the Jbslng factions, whoever they may be, will ffake their medicine and continue to wear the collar. Such may not 1 be the case, but the Indications point that way. To-morrow the convention win de-'ote its time to selecting a permanent chairman and the naming of the delegates at large to the national convention. The permanent chairman will be a Reed man, in accordance with the terms of the combine, and his name will probably be Makemson of Georgetown.

R. B. Hawley has been coaxed all day to have his name slated for the position, but with his usual modesty he has persistently refused. His friends-say he could have it in a lope. The delegates slated for St, Louis are N.

W. Cuney, E. H. Terrell of San Antonio, Judge Makemson of Georgetown and Henry Ferguson. It Is stated that Makemson may fail to land, but the others are a sure shot.

The committees of the convention will be announced to-morrow. C. M. Ferguson, Cuney's old enemy, made a strong speech for the latter tonight. It is said to-night that Chairman Grant will not reach St.

Louis as a delegate at large. Tom McCoy and Webster Wilson, two -of. Cuney's lieutenants, have worked hard for him, and are rejoicing to-night. HOW IT 1VAS DONE. Proceedings of the Republican Party in Stiite Convention.

Austin, March were over 3000 people in the auditorium and the steps were crowded. George Green of Dallas, in behalf of the executive committee, asked to have tho steps cleared, tho dflegates seated and the others retire from the auditorium. Half an hour was lost in an effort to clear the stage and seat the delegates. By 9 o'clock every seat was occupied and several hundred were standing. Mayor Hancock asked the citizens to vacate the seats for tho delegates; business waifs for order: it Is p.

tho stago crowded and hundreds standing- in front of the stage. Chairman Grant rapped for order and introduced Mayor Hancock, who. made a speech of welcome for Austin and expressed the earnest wish of all citizens of Austin, without regard to party or political differences, that tho deliberations of the convention "will result, in good to the stato and our common country." (Applause.) He "I congratulate you on your fine attendance; on tho great number of the business men of the state who have left home and their avocations to- join in your councils. It Is a time when the parting tho best couueels ot t.holr leaders. Tho signs of the time poifrt (o (Treat and grow- discontent with tho old that mon are seeking to attain now ends hy new methods.

You havo rnot after longest and bitterest campaign of your party In Tojtaa, and Austin bids you Oodspe-wt In ynur work." (Applause.) Air. Hancock Uwiua ita visit the capital, state institutions, tne departments of state' government and the great private and municipal enterprises of which they anil all Texas can be proud Chairman Grant Introduced Mr. Rosen- thai of Galveston as spokesman of the executive committee to reply.

He returnee thanks for the welcome, "Republicans, 1 he said. "love to come here to Austin, ani If you give us your suffrages we will come here and take possession of your eapltol; we will return to this house of our fathers, vacated by them In 173, and when we come here, my friends fellow; citizens of Austin and the whole country, your prosperity will return, that prosperity which Texas enjoyed up to the time ihe reins of government were laid down by the late lamented Governor E. J. Davis." (Applause.) Mr. Easton of Bexar then read the call for the convention.

Chairman Grant: "Tho first business IS tho ejection of a temporary chairman. As chairman of the executive committee, am instructed to notify you of a majority port in the shape of a recommendation of Hon. N. W. Cuney for temporary chairman." (Cheers and applause.) Mr.

White of Bmlth proposed as a substitute for the committee recommendation the name of Hon. A. J. Rosenthal. "I am not wanting In respect for the committee or Mr.

Cuney," he said, "but I do this because I believe the sentiment of this convention should have In the selection, of temporary chairman. We be- llevo this choice of the committee Is not In sympathy with the great tidal of Americanism, which looks to the restoration of republican government In this country. (Applause.) We think the convention ought to be organized so as to Rive the sentiment of the people ort the character of inspiration of our'party and give control of this convention to that sentiment. (Cheers from McKinley contingent.) I do this because I feel that everywhere over this brood country the sentiment of our ptirty la not for the one chosen, and that the gentleman named for chairman by this committee does not represent that choice. I name for temporary chairman the Hon.

A. J. Rosenthal." (Applause and cheers.) Tells for Cuney and Roserithal for several minutes. C. M.

Ferguson, colored, of Lamar, who has been Cuney's opponent in several campaigns, took the rostrum. He understood, he said, the situation in Texas and the r.ation. "I arise to second tho nomination of a gentleman who, I believe, taking into consideration all conditions and circumstances, will. It' elected temporary chairman, best subserve the interests of the republican party in Texas to-day. As re- the choice for candidate for presl- ent, I would say little.

I only coiitend that there are differences as to choice. I believe a delegation will be sent to St. Louis that will do the best for Texas republicans. Regardless of who may be the choice at St. Louis, the four delegates at large selected by this convention will cheerfully adapt themselves to the circumstances aa they Jlntl them there.

Those who have served In the national conventions realize that it is not best to be too hide-bound. We don't expect to carry a state south of Mason and Dixon's line. (Voice: Five or six, surd!) But we want to build up our uarty in Texas, realizing if the republican party in Texas was united it might not sweep the state, but would carry several congressional districts. The best we can do to this end la td elect as temporary chairman the Hon. N.

W. Cuney." (Great uproar of cheers for Cuney.) Wm. Simpson of "I came here In the intc-rest of the republican party and In the interest of the grarid republican eader of Texas.

Austin, March republican state executive committee had a monkey and parrot time to-day trying to pour oil on the troubled waters and bring order out of chaos, occasioned by the different contesting delegations.

The boys were not in the best of humor, and the peacemakers had a hard road to travel. "The committee remained In session ail of the forehoon, and when adjournment was had at noon until 3 p. matters were still in statu quo, despite the fact that many wrinkles had been smoothed out, and the further fact that the Reed and Allison men of the committee, as predicted exclusively In The News, were practically agreed-'on a. fusion'. Meantime the convention had not convened and, after everybody had become weary of waiting, It was announced officially that the regular convention would not begin to grind until 8 p.

m. the executive committee met much speechmaking ensued on the subject of credentials and 'different questions of tail. After an interminable wrangle Terrell's delegation from Ban known as the regulars, and led by Ogden were seated. Ohio was knocked out and a victory for Allison and Cuney was the re 1 Next came the Galvestoh delegation and the combination made another landing, the crowd led by Hawley and Cuney Tjeins seated. From Andrews county there was a big row over the question as to whether or not delegates represented by proxies should be admitted.

The result Was that the Pat DUInig and Bacon crowd from Wichita Fails was sustained. "This was another Cuney victory, as they come in with proxies amounting to 108 votes to Heed aiid Allison, but at the same being: uninstructed, The Dallas boys next went to the bat, with a contest as big as a barn. One fac- was led by the other by Mason. Eugene Marshall was on both delegations. Tho MeCbrnilck and "McKinley people made the canLleritioh that they had d.

prima facie Mr. Marshall retorted while that might be so, the other follows had the drowd and the brass band. The committee linally concluded to seat both delegations, and this is claimed as a victory by t'he big combine on the ground that the McKinley boys composed the al- eged regular delegation. On motion it was decided to convene the convention at 8 o'clock. A recess of committee -was then taken until 3 p.

m. Altogether, the committee had a lively session. Eugene Marshall soon developed Into the floor manager for the Allison and Reed jomblnation and he demonstrated that he mew his business. Rosenthal performed he same office for the McKinley men, and Then the committee adjourned for dinner ha combine clearly had -the best of it, Cuney to The News correspondent: "They are my meat. No matter rhat they circulate about compromises, ay no attention to it.

Tho day of com- iromises has passed and it Is now a fight the finish. They forced It on me and hey got it. Now they are whipped." Something else developed during the com- meeting, and that was determination on the part of many of he members to throw Grant over entirely md not let him go to St. Louis as a dele- 'ate from the state at large. These dis- atchea stated this morning: that such a ontingency was liable to.

Austin, March Perhaps the most disappointed man in tho city this evening is Chairman John Grant. Last night Chairman Grant's chances for being- one of the delegates at large were first class, while to-night they are extremely slim. The chairman made a gallant fight and deserved better, hut the fates were against him and he went down battling bravely In tho cause of McKinley. Some of those ind followed his leadership enough, to accuse him of mismanagement are unkin but he did the best he could and could do no more. He could not dictate lo members of the executive committee who they should recommend for temporary chairman, and i was with no little disappointment that he saw his bold opponent named.

"When that was done ho felt that his star was the wane, and while his friends still claim that he will he elected one of the delegates to St. Louis, his enemies claim that he has clayed a losing card and stands no show to win. Cameron County Content. Austin, March Notwithstanding the boost of Colonel Ttentfro that his delegation would win In the contest from Cameron county, things took o. different turn this morning, and he compromised with C.

A report reached the police station at 2 o'clock this morning that Tobe Mongan was dangerously shot at the corner of Thirty-seventh and Postoffice streets For He-Election of President Dine. City of Mexico, March meeting 01 prominent citizens was held to-day at the National club and an organization to work for the re-election of President Diaz was formed, which will immediately establish the branch political societies pledged for that purpose throughout the entire country. There was great enthusiasm manifested. Merchants will take similar action and manufacturers will exert their influence to the same end. An era of political good feeling has set in, for among tho most cordial advocates for the re-election of the president are prominent conservatives and ex-imperialists.

President Diaz has n. conciliatory policy of appointing to hlKh office many of his former political opponents and making test of office holding rather than political opinions. Ills reform work in the postof- ne.e department Is entirely on the civil service linos and no man's politics is made a reason for refusing him a place If competent. The telegraph swine has been imide absolutely non-political. The programme adopted by tho president Is to i all Mexicans in participating in the work of the government on broad lines, allowing no prejudice to operate against any Ik man if he can do tho country good service.

The Imperial yacht was preceded by a steamer burning colored lights attd with a band playing the German national air.

The Jameson Trial. London, March trial of Dr. L. S. Jameson and his fellow prisoners, charged with violating the foreign enlistment act in making a raid Into the territory of the South African republic, was resumed at the Bow street police court this morning.

Although there was a full attendance, there was less excitement. Seated on the bench were the duke of Aberdeen, chair- mah of the British chartered South Africa company; Lord and Lady Monkswell, Lord and Lady Deerhurst, Ladles Foley, Annaly, Finlay, Kinnaird-Buller, Ribbale and Bruce, Admiral Field Mrs. A.

Sergeant White of the Ruchuanaland police testified to h.avlng- refused to join Dr. Jameson's expedition, and. added that Colonel Grey questioned the. troopers prior to starting and informed them that they were not going to fight for queen, but for the supremacy of the British against South Africa.

The sergeant testified that Commissioner Newtcn dispatched him Trom on December 30 in pursuit of Dr. Jameson's column, telling- him to catch the latter at any cost. When the witness caught up with the column he handed his dispatches to Colonel Grey, who ordered him to give them to Sir Willoughby, who In turn told Sergeant White to give them to Dr. Jameson. The latter, however, him bark to Sir John W-il- loughby, who finally distributed them.

The Marquis dl Rudinl. tho premier, replied on behalf of the government, denying that the negus of Abyssinia had demanded an indemnity of SlO.oOo.iK.ni. The statement, he added, was an i to Italy.
