WEAVER MAT BE TOE NOMINEE. He idmits He Is for Himself After Gresham Is Out of the Face. DELIGHTED OTER THE SENATE'S ACTION Oiluia, July 1. Judge Gresham has at last been heard from, and has defined In his own peculiar way his position in regard to the Presidental nomination.

Hon. E. S. Scott, Chairman of the Iowa State Central Committee of the People's party, yesterday sent Judge Gresham tho following telegram: "Will yon stand as tho candidate of the Omaha convention tor the Tresidency on the St. Louis platform? R.

S. Scorr. To this telegram Judge Gresham to-night replied: I stand by my interview of a few days ago on this subject. My name will not he presented to the Omaha convention. Valteb Q.

Greshax. The Interview to which Gresham refers vas one in which he stated that he agreed with the People's party on a great many things, but that he did not acrree with thatpartv in all its declarations. This telegram this evening received from the Judge is interpreted as meaning that he cannot stand as a candidate on the St. Louis platform, since in his interview he stated that he did not agree with that party in all its declarations. The announcement that a telegram has been received from the Judge caused considerable excitement late this evening, and when its contents became known it was generally accepted by the more conservative as clearly indicating that Judge Gresham did not desire bis name to be longer mentioned in this connection.

The Jndcc's Intent Accepted. Cinsidcrable 'tress is put upon his closing sentence "My name will not be presented to the convention." This is accepted as being the expression of his sincere desire in regard to the matter There are a few of the more enthusiastic Gresham men, however, who are still disposed to believe that the Judge will accept the nomination if it be tendered him, but thee gentlemen appear to be in a hopeless minority, and the indications now are that this tclecratn will be accepted as authoritative and final, and that the Gresham boom is a thing of the past. The National Convention of the People's party will convene under inspiring circumstances that lend roseate hopes to the future. The passage of the free silver bill bv the United States Senate to-day is accepted by the delegates to the National Convention to-night as a vindication of those vital principles of their organization, the demand for a greater circulating medium among the common people. The leaders all igreethat nothing could have been done at this time that could have been more propitious for the People's party's hopes or that could have given greater inspiration of an emphatic demand in favor of those cardinal principles to which the various industrial organizations have been so long committed.

The National Central Committee, composed of 150 prominent members of the People's party fjom all sections of the Union, was in session in this city this afternoon when the United States Senate took the final vote on the passage of the silver bill. electrical Effect of the News. Thirty seconds after the result was announced by the Chairman of the United States Senate, 1,500 milei away, the announcement of the passage of the bill was reported to this Conference by the representative of the Associated Press. The effect was electrical. Nearly every member jumped to his feet, and three cheers were for the United States Senate, the first legislative body to come to the relief of the people, and'it was brawny General Terrell, of Texas, who shouted, "Now let the people's representatives in the lower House of Congress do the people's bidding and likewise pass this bill" There is a feeling here to-night that the House of Representatives will hardly dare adjourn without giving this measure its consideration, and it is determined by the leading spirits of this convention that its position on the financial question will be such as to leave no avenue of escape for the Democrats of the solid South and the Republicans of the silver West, in the event of the failure of the lower House to pass this bill.

Telegrams of congratulation innumerable have Dashed from this citr to Washineton. to-night, congratulating Senators Kyle and Pefier and all other People's party "legislators for the first ray of hope that comes in the passage of the free coinage bill by the United States Senate. Tho Fresldeutal Question on Top. The Presidental question is naturally becoming the euerossing topic in this great gathering, and the feeling of uncertainty as to the outcome is becoming one of positive anxiety. The great popularity ot Judge "Walter Q.

Gresham makes his nomination practically certain in the event of a possi-bilitv of his acceotance, and so strong is Gresham's popularity becoming that many of the more conservative leaders are fearful that the convention may be led into the serious error of bestowing the nomination upon a man who will probably suhsequentlv reject it Ignatius Donnelly expressed the sentiment of a strong clement this evening when he said: "We "must not go too fast with the Gresham movement, but must await some expression from Judge Gresham himself before we nominate him. If he is willing to accept and make the fight on our platform, I think there is but one opinion as to the desirability of his nomination, but until it is known that he will accept, prudence demands that the nomination shall not be tendered a man who is outside of the party. If it should be done, and Gresham should then decline, it would bring our partv into ridicule throughout the country." This caution of Donnelly, which finds an echo from nearly all the People's party leaders, had the effect of slightly checkiug the Gresham movement to-night even beiore the receipt ot the telegram from Judge Gresham. eaver Prepared to Make the Race. While he expresses his first choice to be Gresham, General Weaver does not deny that he stands prepaied to make the cam paign in case he is selected as the party staudard bearer, and at this time Weaver is certainly, next to Gresham, the choice of the convention.

Ben Terrell, of Texas, is nrominentlv mentioned to-night in connection with the Vice Presidency. 3L H. Slater, the apostle of free coinage, arrived this afternoon, and, fraternizing with S. G. Nixon, of Nevada, opened Silver League headquarters at the Millard.

Mr. Slater is the Chairman of the Colorado Silver and preached the gospel of free coinage to the Republican Platform Committee at Minneapolis and the Democratic committee at Chicago. He came to Omaha from Chicago, and feels that he has finally found some of his own laith. General James 3. Weaver, of Iowa, established himself at the Willard Hotel this morning, and received the various People's party delegates who crowded eagerly into his room.

"Who is your choice for President?" General Weaver was asked by an Associated Press reporter. "Walter Q. Gresham is my first choice, and Weaver is my second," said the General, smiling. "What do you think the platform will be?" Predictions on the Platform. "I think it will be the St.

Louis platform, which you have already published, with a plank added denouncing the force bill. In mv opinion there will be verv little difference of opinion on the platform, and it will be a matter very quickly and very harmoniously disponed of." General Weaver smiled at the suggestion that Senator Stewart had sent a messenger to Omaha with a platform upon which he would accept the nomination for the Presidency, and said: "I don't think Senator Stewart has done anything of the kind. He is a varv sensible man. and would be a good candidate, but he would not expect the platform to be molded to suit the convenience of anv man." Colonel Lee Crandall, of Washington, a member of the National Committee and a delegate from the District of Columbia, arrived this morninsr. He is also Secretary of the National Bi-Metallic League, recently organized, and a delegate to the National Mining Congress at Helena.

He has been connected with the Greenback or the People's party movement since 187ft. membership of our League is scattered all over the country," sa'd Colonel Crandall, "and it is growing rapidly. It is made up of men of all political faiths. The League is non-partisan, but its members will naturally support the candidates who stand for free "silver and unlimited coinage of silver. The league as an organization will not come before this convention, but it passed a resolution at its recent meeting asking the People's party to name a ticket and make a platform acceptable to our members.

Individual members will be here to urge that, and among tbem will be General A. J. Warner, of Ohio, who, though a Democrat, is President of the league. Tvo Candidate to Be Boomed. "We will not urge any particular candi date.

My idea is that the delegates from the Northwestern and the Pacific States should be allowed to make the candidate for President, and that the Southern States should be permitted to fill the second place. With proper candidates on the right platform the People's party will carry Georgia, North and South Carolina and Alabama. We also have a fighting chance in Texas, and Western silver men are confident we can carrv Colorado. Of course, this convention is already committed to give us a silver plank that will concede all the League asks." Editor William R. Dobbyn, of the Progressive Age of Minneapolis, delegate at large from Minnesota, said that Minnesota and the Northwest was solid for Gresham, with Weaver as second choice.

In case the Indiana man could not be prevailed upon to accept, he thought it certain that a Southerner would be selected for second place. He was in favor of drafting a new platform, embracing the main features of the St Louis production. To the prohibition and equal suffrage contingent, he said that while the North was in favor of equal suffrage it was veiy unpopular, and he thought the convention would probably try to conciliate the Southerners by dropping the plank. He did not think auvthing would be said about prohibition, but 'a a plank inserted concerning the national liqnor traffic. "That," said Mr.

Dobbyn, "will be a vote-getter instead of a vote-loser. It removes the revenue tax, destroys the political power of the saloon, prevents the adulteration of liquors, and would not offend the personal liberty advocates. The position of the Prohibitionists will throw at least 100,000 of their people to our ranks without a doubt" A Stewart Room on the Road. The announcement of Hon. A.

J. Streeter, of Illinois, to-night that he did not believe Judge Gresham would accept the Presidental nomination, and that in the event of his refusal he was in favor of United States Senator Stewart, of Nevada, has caused the Stewart boom to receive quite an impetus. It is becoming verv evident that the delegates from the silver States of the West will give Senator Stewart very earnest Bupport, and in the event of Gresham being stricken from the list, it is probable Weaver and Stewart will be the leading candidates. The drilt of sentiment ai this time is in favor of Weaver as between these two, but there are careful preparations being made to spring a formidable Stewart boom on Sunday. General A.

J. Warner, of Ohio, is on his way to this city to make the nomination of General Stewart, and when this fact came to public knowledge to-night it created a great deal of discussion, as it was at once accepted as an evidence that the powerful Silver League had decided upon Senator Stewart, of Nevada, as the Presidental candidate ot the People's party. The National Central Committee of the People's party met -this afternoon and selected Hon. Ellington, of Georgia, as Temporary Chairman of the convention, and John W. Hayes, General Secretary Knights of Labor, as Secretary.

It also decided that Hon. Ben Terrell, of Texas, should, on behalf of the convention, make the response to the address of welcome of the Mayor of Omaha, at 10 o'clock to-morrow morning. It was decided that addresses in memory of President Polk, of the Farmers' Alliance, should be delivered. PB0HIBITI0H TICKET COMPLETE. Dr.

New London; July 1. This has been a Yale week with a Yale finish. Tuesday's baseball victory over Harvard; this morning Yale's conquest of Harvard '95 ia the annual two-mile row on the Thames, and, to put a gloss finish on the whole season's aggregation of Yale's athletic achievements, the record of the Yale 'Varsity eight in turning the tables on the Harvard crew this afternoon, leaving them even farther behind than Yale was left last year and that is saying a great deal comprise the remarkable showing. The Harvard men have fallen away from their interpretation of the Cook stroke, which won for them last year, and have substituted a faster but much less effective method of oarsmanship this season. Yale was again the worthy exponent of the dogged, rugged, deliberate stroke which has pulled its representative shell across the line ahead so many times in so many years.

A criticism of either Yale's blad or body work is difficult The crew which won for the blue is called the most perfectly drilled which ever represented it Harvard's Work Not So Good. Harvard's oarsmanship, however, was unsteady. While the stroke set byLynam was followed moderately well, the inboard work of the Harvard men was of a highly unsatisfactory order, and the inharmonious action was jarring to even the unpracticed eye at An analysis of the stroke of both crews, submitted this evening by the well-known Yale coach and rowing authority, George St. John Sheffield, discloses the following facts: Yale caught the water and rowed the first 100 yards at the rate of 37 strokes a minute, dropping then to 3G, which it held till the first mile was completed. During the next mile it rowed a nniform stroke of 35.

dropping then to 31 until the last half mile, when it finished strong af 36 Harvard broke away at 39, which it kept up for halt a mile. It then fell off to 37, increasing to 38 on the first half of the second mile. It then gradually dropped to 33 at the beginning of the last mile, when it brnced wonderfully, finishing at 38. All the afternoon, excursion trains brought loads of people, who were soon transferred to the big steamers. The water was perfectly smooth, the air clear and the tide at full ebb.

A strong breeze was blowing from the north at the backs of the crews as they rowed down stream with the tide. Tale Has the Choice of Coarse. All these circumstances weie highly favorable to the lighter and livelier crew of Yale, and adverse to Harvard's beefier and stronger oarsmen. It was Yale's year to choose between the east and west course, and she selected the former. The sun was breaking through the clouds at just 5 o'clock, when both Yale and Harvard eightsbrought their shells down to the landings at their quarters, and at almost exactly the same second stepped into them.

Contrary to general expectation, both crews rowed to their positions. Harvard was there first, pulling lazily across the river to their place. Yale had to row down half a mile, aud came to vlace with that regular, easy stroke which has disarmed criticism for the past month, The observation train made its appearance as the referee's word was given, and 10 oars dug into the water at 5:17. Harvard's spry stroke secured a hold first, and the crimson took the lead. For the first 100 vards she kept it, pulling a 39 stroke, while Yale was about 38.

Yale" splashed badly and the boat' rolled a little, while Harvard got off comparatively smoothly. At 1C0 yards from the start the Yale prow had shot past the Harvard's. Yale had found its form. Harvard Gets Slightly Battled. Harvard quickened its stroke a little, making a desperate fight before relinquishing the lead.

Iu so doing she dropped into bad form, causing the beat to roll and progress by perceptible jerks. For 60 yards Harvard gave an extremely poor exhibition. Both crews at this point settled into the stroke which has characterized their rowing in practice all the spring: Harvard with a quick, speedy dash, and Yale with a deliberate, powerful force, which made a gap between the two shells at every dip. At the first half sile Yale was rowing half a length in the lead, with both crews exhibiting the finest burst of speed witnessed during the entire race, except, possibly, at the nnish. Yale continued its effective spurt, while Harvard fell back little by little.

When the Yale shell passed the first mile post it was three lengths ahead. The Harvard stroke had taken a surprising drop down to 35, while Galaudet oars struck the water with metrical regularity, 37 times a minute. Yale took matters a trifle more easily from the mile to the mile-and-a-half post, and the gap between the shells was little changed. Yale was four lengths ahead at the two-mile post, which marked the conclusion of half the race. Yale was pulling a trifle more vigorously.

Harvard's Splashing and Bad Steerlnc. The Harvard coxswain was seized with a fit of crooked steering, which brought his boat toward the west shore, leaving Yale near the center of the stream with the full advantage of breeze and tide. At the two-and-a-hall-mile post Yale had placed fully eight lengths of clear water between her stern and the Harvard bow. The affliction which overtook the Harvard oarsmen at this particular point of the race was splashing. For 100 yards they pulled like freshmen in this respect.

Yale pulled steadily, while their shell glided over the river surface with toboggan-like smoothness. Along by the three-mile flag, Lynam and Captain Kettoon, Harvards Nos. 8 and 7, badly out of shape. In their desperation to urge the boat along at a winning pace, each set a different stroke for the men behind. It was a procession after the third mile post was passed.

The Yale oars dropped exact and true, while Harvard lagged. A short distance before the last half-mile post was reached they passed between the long lines of yachts which lined the course, thence to the finish. A rousing salute was given both crews as they passed each yacht and the effect was magical. The inspiration was felt in'both boats. The stroke was quickened, the keels kept more even and the oarsmanship of both crews was decidedly more trim and cleanly cut Yale Wins by IS 1-8 Seconds.

At 48 seconds past 5:37 the Yale boat shot by the finish, with Harvard 15 or 16 lengths to the rear. The Hariard shell crossed the line 15J seconds later. Every member of lale crew finished fresh, and only one or two of Harvard's crew were really exhausted. Every whistle in New London was subjected to a full head ot steam, and the din was distracting. Thousands of blue flags floated alott, while the losers' crimson drooped or was modestly kept out of sight The official time for the four miles is 20:48 for Yale; for Harvard, Yale backers held their money till the last moment, keeping thousands of dollars back, because the Harvard men wanted odds of $100 to $70; but the last bets were $100 to $55 on Yale.

YALE FSE8HMEN WON. They Defeat the Harvard and Columbia Crews In Bather Slow Time. New London, July The race between the Yale, Harvard and Columbia freshmen crews, postponed from was finally contested at noon to-day. The PITTSBURG DISPATCH, event could not be called at the appointed honr, owing to a heavy rainfall. The rough water interfered with Harvard's chance.

Yale-won by 2 lengths In 12.03)4, after an exciting straggle, Columbia second, Harvard third. Harvard won the toss for position and Yale got second choice. Harvard took center position, Yale west and Colnmbia got the east side. The race started at 12 o'clock. Columbia struck the water first, but the powerful stroke of Yale at once sent her boat into first place.

Nearing the three-quarters of a mile Yale was rowing powerfully at 38 to the minute and the other, crews from 40. Yale was two lengths, in the lead at the three-quarters of a mile; Columbia was leading Harvard a length. At the mile Yale quickened up to 40. Entering the last half mile Columbia's coxswain steered wildly and Harvard gained, but Columbia's strength was too much. Yale held her own to the finish, pulling evenly and running the boat along at a uniform 36 to 38 strokes a minute.

She finished about eight lengths ahead of Columbia, who led Harvard by two and a half lengths. The official time as" announced was: Columbia, 1250; Harvard, 12:28. The time for the first mile was: Yale, Columbia, 5:53, and Harvard, 5:56. It was a slow race and about a minute short of the Freshman IntercolIegiatei record. Richardson, who pulled Harvard' No.

2, weakened toward the end of the race and collapsed at the finish. FRIDAY'S HOSPITAL NOTES.

CHAMBERLAIN ON THE K0STEDM tCOPTBIOnT. 1392. BT IT. T. ASSOCIATED PTOSS.j London, JulyL The present generation has seen no general election which will be so hotly contested as the one now proceeding.

Party spirit is so embittered that open conflicts on the streets are prevented only by the restraints' of the jndicious system now existing for the control of election procedure. Political feeling boils over at all the meetings, especially when they are held in rooms. The candidates are howled down, rowdyism is rampant and the assemblages lire broken up. Many of the candidates find it necessary to adopt the plan of making tours of their districts in wagonnettes and speaking to their audiences in the open air, where they generally get a hearing. These often Impromptu gatherings largely occur in the districts in London inhabited by workingmen, where organized bands of bnllies are bribed to incite to riot When the assemblages are addressed from wagonettes, these bullies do not have time to arrange their plans to interfere, and the candidate makes his speech and gets away before the leaders of the bullies can get their gangs together.

Bolh Sides Dodging the Lair. Enormous sums of money are being spent by both Conservatives and Liberals in hidden ways, so as to evade the bribery act. The Liberals charge that the Conservatives, whose purse is ampler than anything the Liberal Executive can obtain, with running paid Socialist and labor candidates to break the Liberal vote. As a matter of fact, the list of both Socialist and labor candidates who are standing for election has become thinned during the week. To-night's list presents 33 labor candidates, including thote who are seeking re-election.

Seven of them have no chance of success, and their only aim is to spoil the chances of the Liberals standing in their districts. Thus there are only 2G genuine labor candidates in the field, of which only four are likely to be elected, making the labor vote in the next Parliament of about the same value it was in the last. The Socialists are nowhere. Several candidates pose as their men, but pure socialism has absolutely vanished. The Conservatives in London and other populous centers outbid their opponents in the extent of their social programme.

The case of the Tory candidates at Stepney and Lime House applies to the others. They advocate the establishment of an eight-hour day, the creation of a Labor Minister and the taxation of ground rents. They also advocate the fixing of the rate of wages by the union. The tabor Party Shnt Ont. A programme like this cuts out the Labor party and beggars the socialists.

The trades unions are suspicious as to the Conservative pledges and continue to incline toward the Liberal candidates. No new factor has appeared during the week to alter the party forecasts. A high Government official told the reporter of the Associated Press that the Cabinet had shown their conviction of coming defeat by settling their private papers in order to be in readiness to vacate their offices. The Ministers never leave all their official papers for their successors. Documents revealing too much disappear.

A general clearance ot those documents which the Liberal Government will be unable to claim has already occurred. Mr. Gladstone's declaration that the rejection of the home rule bill by the House ot will not involve a lresh appeal to the country, as Parliament will then proceed with other measures, has been a shock to the Irish party. It is certain that they will not tolerate any action ot the kind intending to indefinitely shelve the home rule question. The British Non-Conformists have issued a manifesto.

The declaration is a vigorous defense of Mr. Gladstone, but hardly one in a hundred of the British Non-Conformist ministers signed it The Confidence of the Non-Conformtgta. Its adherents express supreme confidence that Mr. Gladstone will not be guilty of treason; that religious freedom will never jeopardize the liberties of Ulster Protestants; that Parliament will never pass a scheme favorins the Itomish ecclesiastical 'system, and, generally, that the fears of the ulstentes is utterly groundless. Dr.

Dale, the leader of the Congregationalists, and Dr. Dallinger, theleader of the Methodists, protest against assigning to the manifesto the character of representative of Non-Conformist opinion. The Speaker' estimate of the Irish electoral result is: Anti-Parnellite, 75; Unionists and Parnellites, The Unionists say they are certain of 28 seats, and the Parnellites predict the return of 24 of their candidates. Timothy Healy offers 10 to 100 that the Parnellites will get only five seats. French papers concur in the opinion that Lord Eosebery has dispelled -the illusion that Mr.

Gladstone's accession to power would mean the evacuation of Egyyt Apropos of Mr. Gladstone's foreign polloy, Arnold Foster has originated an electoral boomerang in saying that "There is not a quarter of the globe where Great Britain has an enemy in which Mr. Gladstone has not a friend." Mrs. Bichard Chamberlain, who has taken the stump for her husband, has acquired distinction by her intrepidity in facing rowdy opponents. An effective orator, she has won the admiration of the Liberals by facing and quelling uproarious Islington.

She persisted in being heard, overcame her opponents and made (hem friends. BERING SEA ARBITRATORS, President Carnot's Choice Narrowed Down to Only One Available Man.

Ho Favors No Purely Catholic Party In French Politics, bot Will Worfc With Conservative Republican Kljlit No Attention to Royalist Protests. Bome, July The commission of five Cardinals on French 'affairs have been in daily conference on recent events in France. Their resolutions have reference chieflr to the famous declaration of the Itoyalist Bight, opposing the intervention ot Borne in French politics as at variance with the national traditions.

The Holy See has decided to repel from any side all attempts to constitute a purely Catholic political party. It accepts the measures taken by Mgr. Piou, De Mun, Etienne and St. Laury in preparing for the coming elections, and to create a Constitutional Conservative Ee-publican party powerful enough to neutralize radicalism and to consolidate the Bepubiic. As to the declarations of the Boyalist Bight there are two currents of opinion here one deeming it useless to reply to declarations having no electoral or parliamentary value, the other, that a reply shonld be made in firm and decided language.

The Pope has now ordered that reply shall be given to the declaration of the French Boyalist Eight, and for two reasons in order not to give too much importance to the opponents of the Papal policy and, to avoid exciting passion on so delicate a subject as the deliverance of the Pope on a doctrinal point For the sake of peace, and in order not to embarrass the supporters of his policy, the Pope has renounced all declarations in an encyclical which will appear soon and will pass over this burning theme. The Vatican has been highly pleased with the programme of theBepublican Bight It is considered in accordance with his private Intentions and desires. A year ago now the recognized chief was in Bome and placed before the Pope the ontlines of the programme. He said, in coming from an andlence, that "the Pope will go far, he Is more republican, more democrat than we are." The Pope had, in fact, from the first given his support to the formation of a Democratic and Bepublican Bight The programme of the Constitutional Bight, as now formulated, is a faithful reproduction of his ideas. Hence the marked favor with which it has been received at the Vatican.

DONE WITH THE AMALGAMATED. The Carnecle Steel Company Will Treat tvith Its Men Individually. Secretary Lovejoy, of the Carnegie Steel Company, yesterday outlined the plans of the company in relation to the Homestead mills in the following statement: The mills ar Homsetead have been closed for repairs, and will remain closed for two or three weeks. Abont the 15th or 20th of July it will be published and posted that any of our old employes may return to worsr, and must make application by a certain day as individuals. All who do not apply by the time stipulated will beconsideied not to desire to woik, and their places will be filled by new men.

It is in the worfc of giving new men the places of the old employes that will cause tho real conflict. The strikers will ofTer no violence so long as the mills stand idle, but about the 20th or 21th of July, when new employes are brought to the mills the old men will seek to pershade their successors to leave, and. falling to do this, will attempt to dislodge them. It will be easy to get new men Into the mills, for one of the Vanderbilt lines passes directly through the pioperty, and the new men may easily be set down there. We made the scales to suit trade and mechanical conditions, and grave no thought to the political cause or effect, nor to the tariff.
