Determined to Settle Party Before Selecting Party Candidates. The great Middle Western States Wo, Indiana and Illinois, hold Demo- cratlc State Conventions to-day or I'to-morrow.

They will all go for free i'ellver and will probably adopt the imit rule, so that every one of their 1124 delegates will be bound to silver. New York and Wisconsin State Conventions to-morrow will be for sound 96 votes to that column. The poll of States in the National Convention will then stand 545 for Bllversilver to 349 for sound money. 'Adding the territories, which have 6 votes each, and all of which are for silver, brings the silver vote to 569. The silver men will require 613 votes 1 to control the convention by the Democratic two-thirds rule, required to nominate a candidate for President.

A poll made by The World shows that Horace Bois, of Iowa, is still the leading silver candidate for President, as he was three weeks ago, when World's last poll was made. He has 118 votes pledged to him, and is the second choice of nearly 500 delegates. Gov. Altgeld, of Illinois, is sobered by the strong fight the sound-money Democrats are making and is already talking of a "compromise bi-metallic platform." Senator Teller has few friends among the Democratic delegates, and i there Is no possibility of his nomina- by the Chicago Convention. He therefore, be nominated by the Populists and silver Republicans, who claim that he will carry all the silver States against any Democrat who can named.

On the Pacific slope the Western Federation of Miners, which Include gold, silver and coal miners, nearly 100,000 strong, are strongly in his favor. So Is the Federation of Labor on the coast, so far as I can learn, and the powerful Seamen's Union as well. The former members of the Knights of Labor I know to be enthusiastically for him. Free coinage of silver is to be the issue and organized labor Is for It. McKinley may have shown wisdom in selecting Mark Hanna as his manager, but by so doing ha has gained the bitter opposition of organized labor in every State of the Union.

Hanna has always been a vindictive foe to organized labor. He is an industrial cannibal. He has crushed union after union among his thousands of employees and taken delight in doing so. He is worse than Carnegie. In case of McKinley's election Hanna would be the real President.

While labor organizations may have their little differences, they come together as a unit when an attack Is to be made on a common foe. J. B. SOVEREIGN, General Master Workman, K. of FfiAHCE ASKED TO LEAD.

Rev, TTTlteliell DeiiounceB Yale Seniors for Selecting Clusft Ivy front Gen. R. IS. Lec'a Grave. (Special to The World.) NEW HAVEN, June since the memorable utterance of Mrs.

Poteat, comparing Yale to the region of heat, has there been such a stirring up university as exists to-day over an expression made by the Rev. Joseph Twitchell, of Hartford, In his address at the dedication of the Woolsey statue this afternoon. Dr. Twitchell was describing the patriotism of President Woolsey. He said: "He was a Union man, heart and soul, an4 it would make this bronze statue avert its head were he to know that the graduating class of Yale was about to plant on the walla of a building on the campus an ivy from the grave of Gen, Robert B.

'Lee. Gen. Lee was a good man, but he was loyal to an infamous cause." These'words like a thunderbolt upon the audience. The graduating class obtained its ivy planted to-day from Gen. Lee's grave.

Immediately at the close of Dr. Twitchell'B address his utterance was repeated all over the campus. One of the seniors said: "We were offered the ivy In a spirit of reconciliation and accepted It in the same spirit. Hundreds of Southern men have come to Yale, and the acceptance of the ivy was In. the kindliest spirit." Had the condemnatory words come from almost any other man they would 1 not have received attention.

But Dr. Twitchell holds a position among Yale alumni second only to that of Chauncey M. Depew. Among his supporters is the Rev. Dr.

Newman Smyth, New Haven's "Dr. Parkhurst," who says: I was amazed when I read that the committee had. seleceted this ivy. Dr. Twitchell voices the sentiment of all the older graduates." The committee discussed a proposition to change the Ivy.

They decided not to do so, and the ivy was planted with 1 the usual ceremonies. Some of those who were graduated about the war period are said to have expressed an intention of tearing up the ivy to-night. The seniors will have a guard at the spot and such an attempt will mean fight. -na DIED IN CENTRAL PARK. Seated on.

(Copyright, 1856, by tho Press Publishing Company, New York World.) (Special Cubic Despatch to The World.) MADRID, Spain, June profoundest sensatloii has been caused here by the news of the alleged purport of a report by United States Consul-General Lee to President Cleveland on the state of affairs In Cuba, which report la said to be on the way from Havana to Washington. The effect of the intelligence Is difficult to exaggerate. All classes of the community are greatly wrought up, but the commotion is especially great in Parliamentary and political circles. The lobbies' of the Senate were extremely animated just before Senator Comas began an energetic antl-Ameri- can speech on moving an amendment to the addresr in reply to the speech from the Throne asking the Government to annul all treaties between Spain and the United States. The Impression is general among politicians and military men that the Government -will be requested to withdraw Consul General Lee's exequatur if he really has expressed opinions as unfavorable to Spanish rule in Cuba as rumor credits him with having done.

The Minister of the Colonies introduced In the Cortes to-day a bill authorizing the Government to expend in the war in Cuba as much of the colonial and imperial revenues as may be necessary to secure success, and also authorizing it to negotiate unlimited loans or credit. The Madrid press continues to lay much stress uppn the closer relations likely to be established between Spain, Prance and Russia when occasion arises. The markedly friendly welcome given to the French fleet in the ports of North Spain Is hailed by Spaniards as a happy omen. ARTHUR E. HOUGHTON.

WASHINGTON, June eral Lee evidently does not anticipate that President Cleveland will Interfere in Cuba on the strength of any report from hlrn, notwithstanding the sensational rumors.

Despatches from Gcil. Lee Arrive 'by Alennenffer, William Ryan, who sailed June 18 from Havana on the Ward Line steamer Yumuri, arrived here yesterday. He Is a special messenger bringing Important despatches from Consul-General Lee, at Havana, to President Cleveland. Mr, Ryan was put aboard the Yumuri from a tug at Havana, The Consul General accompanied him to the steamer's side. When the Yumuri reached Quarantine yesterday Mr.

Ryan, two shipwrecked crews, who boarded the steamer at Havana, and three other passengers were sent to Hoffman Island. He could not enow that he had been Havana long enouRh to become acclimated.

John C. Monsees, a conductor on the Flatbush avenue line of the Brooklyn Heights Railroad was held up by two robbers on the rear platform of his car in the donse woods near Bergen Beach. Monsees's car left Bergen Beach at 1.29 A. M. Sunday.

The beach was deserted at that hour, and tho only passengers -were two rough-looking men, who persisted in standing up on the back platform, although they could have had the pick of the seats. As the oar approached the big curve leading into the woods It slowed down. Rounding the curve, it went ahead again at full speed and plunged Into the darkness of the woods. When about half way through, one of the men on the platform told Monsees to stop the car. The conductor raised his arm to ring the signal bell when he was suddenly embraced by a pair of strong arms behind aiiti held a helpless prisoner.

The sound man then rifled Monsees's pockets with practiced dexterity and took all the $7.50.

Spanish news that was current In London. There were unconfirmed rumors that the Rothschilds had loaned Spain $20,000,000, with which to purchase gunboats in preparation for her conflict with the United States. The arrival of William Ryan, a special messenger from Havana, bearing, it was said, a report on Cuban affairs from Consul Lee, also had a potent influence in the street. Unless significant signs fall, the squadron of United States warships just now stationed In the harbor of New York will soon he despatched on an important mission. Thos'i who should be in a position to know eay that their destination will be tho coast of Cuba.

The idea that the cruisers were under orders for Cuba was first suggested "eslerday at a meeting of the Methodist ministers at No. 150 Fifth avenue, when It was declared that the usual Sunday services were dispensed with because of extra work required to prepare the boats for the expedition. The Navy-Yard officials profess Ignorance about the secret orders and say that the services were held as usual. However, these significant facts have been noted. During the last week work on all the vessels has been doubled, In response to a special order received from the Secretary of the Navy.

The nature of this order cannot be ascertained. Nearly three hundred additional workmen, including caulkers, painters, shipwrights, carpenters and general labor, have been busily preparing the squadron for active sea service. Every boat of the North Atlantic Squadron, except the New York, which is still In dry dock, was taking in coal yesterday. The New York can be ready for sailing within a few days. All the others are prepared to sail at a moment's notice.

On t'he Newark, Montgomery, Cincinnati and Indiana, anchored off Staten Island, there was constant stir and bustle. From dawn until darkness boats laden with provisions crowded alopg- si.de. Two big barges kept busy all day pll.ng coal into the lour bunkers. Over the deck swarmed the sailors, In the act.vlty required by preparation for a trip, while the petty officers shouted orders. Capt.

JTarquhar, in command of the Newark, was jpleasantly diplomatic when The World man asked what all the bustle was about. "I can say that we have as yet received no orders tor Cuba," said the captain. "Have you received orders to prepare for a trip to Cuba?" was asked. "The Admiral knows better than I do," said Capt Farquhar. "As for get- t'ng ready, we can start if necessary at a moment's notice.

Everything Is perfect "Do you i expect to receive orders to go I can't talk about. Only the Admiral is authorized to speak on that point," said Capt.

WHO AUTHORIZES THIS SALE? Property of Mr. and J. Coleman Drayton Will Be Auctioned Oft To-Day. A heterogenous collection of secondhand books, furniture, dresses arid toys, said to bo the property of Mr. and Mrs.

J. Coleman Drayton, will be sold at 11 A. M. to-day at an auction- room at Thirteenth street and University place. The collection was practically dumped at the doora of the.

auction-room a few days ago from a van of the Manhattan Storage Company. Beyond that the auction people profess to know nothing. At the storage warehouse it was said yesterday: "We have sent the goods to the auction-room in the. regular course of business, but the we can say is that they were not sent there because of non-payment of storage." In the collection are several books bearing the. signatures: of Mr.

and Mrs. Drayton, a wedding gown and a dinner gown, have been the property of Mrs, Drayton. and the manuscript of an oration delivered by J.

Mrs. Orayton, wh'6 returned recently from Bjrope, refuses to discuss the matter, and her counsel, Herbert A. Shipman, denies that the sale is authorized either by his client or her former husband.

Counsel on both sides summed up yesterday in the trial of Mary Alice Fleming, accused murdering her mother with poison. Recorder Goft will charge the jury to-day, and the twelve men will retire to deliberate upon the woman's fate. There is a great diversity of opinion as to what the verdict will be. Many persons believe Mrs. Fleming will not be convicted, because tho prosecution has not- shown that she bought any poison.

Others contend the prosecution has made out a strong case. The majority think the jury will disagree. Possibly there Will be a verdict by this evening. Mrs. Fleming has not seen her daughter Oracle since her arrest.

The child Is held by the authoritiea as a witness, but was not put on the stand. She wished to make a statement about this last night but her lawyers prevented. O'Connor, the Tombs newsman, who is a relative of Assistant District- Attorney Mclntyre, assaulted Ferdinand T3KT rt laughed at the impotent old man and walked away. Mrs. Fleming sauntered to her placa behind the lawyers' table yesterday morning with an air of unconcern.

Evidently she believed that the end of a. dull and prosy trial was close at hand, and had no fear of the outcome. Her half sister, Florence Bliss, was la high spirits, too, chatting with the prisoner, laughing often, and ready even. when in repose to smile industriously at the least provocation. She seems to have a well-defined case of chronic giggles.

Charles W. Brooke summed up for the defence. He was dressed in black, and his dlscouse was as sombre as his rainment. Mrs. Fleming 'looked at him as if his words hypnotized her.

She often nodded affirmatively when he SDoke of the improbability, yes, the impossibility of her having murdered her mother. Mr. Brook took a lling at Dr. O'Suilivan, whom he described as the first counsel specially retained by tha District-Attorney in iifty years. Ail ImiiOHHibie Crluie.

Mr. Brooke was thankful that Fleming had sent the clam chowder to her mother by the hands of her little daughter Grade and Flossie King. Nothing would have been more natural than that the children should have tasted of tho food on the way. Mrs. Fleming knew that.

Could she have been such an unnatural mother as to expose the little ones to such a peril? Mr. Brooke did not think the Jury uouid believe such a monstrous proposition. There was a fatal lack of proof in the People's case, Mr. Brooke dec.ared. Why- was not Tuebner accused of poisoning Mrs.

who was with her when she was taken ill? He had been Mrs. Bliss's friend for twnety-two years. It would be as unjust to suspect him as to accuse Mrs. Fleming. Dr, Bujman'a belief that Mrs.

Bliss had died of gastri- f- and not poisoning, was harped on for a long time. Mr. Brooke attacked Dr. Scheele at length, and with great ferocity. He said: Lust SIuu fit Scheele.

"The. whole prosecution rests on. Scheele. He is the keystone of the arch of prosecution. Without h.m it crumbles to nothing.

Prof. Mott, a just and able man, found two-thirds of grain of arsenic in the half of the stomach he examined. Dr. Scheele found, 7 3-10 grains in the other half." Mr. Brooke showed Dr.

It was addressed to Coroner O'Meagher, on Sept, 5, the lawyer said, and concluded with these words: 'No other substance, whether metallio or organic, could be detected In this analysis. had bean found, but no Mr. Brooke ridiculed the Idea that her 1 love for Ferdinand Wllckes furnished a motive for Mrs. Fleming to desire her mother's death.

He said; "The letters tell the story of a life morally perverted, but they breathe no spirit of revenge. They show that she possesses a gentle, tender nature, Incapable of harboring the suggestion of murder.
