FIGHT WAS A SHORT ONE But It Was One of the Hardest Struggles Ever Made. THE INSTRUCTIONS UNANIMOUS Cu'lom's Friends Accepted Their De feat With Good Grace and Will Abide by the Conven tion’s Action. Springfield, 111,, April 30. —\\ Jliam McKinley, Jr., of Ohio is the choice of the Republicans of Illinois for Presi dent of the United States, He was so declared in the State convention here to-day. The contest at the convention was between the Republicans of the State, who believed that Senator Cullom should have been honored as t he stand ard bearer in the Presidential contest by the people of this State, on the one hand, and the Republicans who favor ed McKinley on the other. Arrayed on the side of Senator Cul- Jom, was the organization known as the Cook county “machine” and a large number of the leading politicians and statesmen of Illinois. With him were veteran politicians who have in years gone by had many a hard fought poli tical contest. They had to aid them one of the most perfect political or ganizations that has ever been formed in this State, but all their plans went wrong to-day and w hile Senator Cul lom and his backers met with defeat, they met it gracefully and announced their determination to lend their heartiest co-operation for the election of Maj. McKinley. The battle to-day waft not a long one. It lasted scarcely an hour, but in that time the struggle was one of the hardest ever made in a State con vention. The candidates for State offices were all nominated with the exception of the trustees for the State University, before resolutions instructing the dele gates at large to .he National conven tion was brought up. This was in ac cordance with an agreement reached between the advocates of Cullom and McKinley. The first shot was fired by ( ullorn s men in the shape of resolution, in structing the National delegates-at large from this State to support him. As soon as Cullom’s name w as men,, ion ed. there was enthusiastic cheering from his friends and followers,, but when the amendment substituting Maj. McKinley’s name for that of Sena tor Cullom was offered the outburst of applause was simply tremendous. From this time. Senator Cullom’s friends gave up hope. They saw noth ing could stop the determination of the delegates to name McKinley as their choice for President. When the motion was made to substi tute the name of McKinley for that of Cullorn in resolutions of instructions, a counter motion to lay this motion on the table was made. On this the test came, the roll call resulting 832 against 503 in favor of. Upon the announcement of the vete, Mr. Fuller, the leafier of the Cullom force, moved that the instructions of the Illinois delegates-at-large to the St. Louis convention, be for William Mc- Kinley, of Ohio, for President. The motion was seconded by dele gates Madden, of Cook, and the motion was unanimously carried amid great enthusiasm. ’The delegates-at-large elected are: R. W. Patterson, editor Chicago Tribune; William Penn Nixon, editor Inter-Ocean; ex-Governor E. J. Oglesby, of Elkhart, ami ex-Governor Jos. W. Filer. The State ticket was completed by the nomination of .las, A. Rose for Secretary of Slate; William McCullough for Auditor; Henry L. Hertz for Treasurer, and E. C. Aiken for Attorney-General. BILL TAYLOR HANGED. Carrollton, M«o., April 30. —Bill Tay lor was hanged at 11 o’clock this morn ing. Taylor, with his brother George, murdered the Meeks family. One min ute after Sheriff Stanley began reading the death warrant, the march to the gallows began. Thy lor walked be tween Stanley and Under-Sheriff Allen. Father Kennedy followed chanting. Taylor walked firmly, carrying a cruci fix. His eyes were set straight to the front, and he remained stolid to the last. As he a.pjjeared before the three hundred spectators who had been ad mitted to the stockade a few minutes before, an audible expression of grati fication arose from the avenged Car rolltonites. After the execution, old Mrs. Meeks, who stood near the scaf fold, almost fainted. BULITWAYO HAS BEEN RELIEVED. Buluwayo, Matabelekind, April 30. Earl Grey, eo-administration with Mr. Cecil Rhodes, of the territory of the British Chartered South Africa Com pany, has arrived here with a strong escort. The actions with the insurgent Mata belles have resulted in inflicting such severe floss upon them that Bula wayo is looked upon as being practically relieved, and it is no longer likely that the natives will attack the town in force, although they still number 15,- 000 armed men in this vicinity.

Cripple Creek, Col., April 30. —Thou- sands of homeless people shivered a bout camp fires or wandered among the l uins of this opee prosperous city through the night. The cold was se % ere and toward morning snow began to fall. During the night for a distance of a mile to the right and left, the burn ing embers, presented a sight most incomparable. Standing on the hill beyond the burned district and to the West, the picture was one of a huge bowl, with the steam arising above. Everywhere along the thoroughfares can lie seen the work of the dynamite, a great mass of kindling wood, A com pany of Colorado National Guards is on duty in the unhurried district. Numerous arrests have been made in the outside district, a resort of the vagrant element which lately has in fested Cripple Creek. All night fires were starting up occasionally on the placer. Where possible the residents pulled the houses down, and if that failed, blew them up. They had no water in that portion of the city. The total loss is estimated at $1,500,- 000. The insurance will probably foot up between $400,000, and $500,000. THE WRIT NOT GRANTED. New York, April 30.—Chancellor Mc- Killen informed lawyers Charles D. Thompson, for the plaintiff, and Rich ard V. Lindabury, for the American To bacco Company, who called upon him to-night, that he had (Decided to refuse to grant, the writ restraining the j*ay ing of a dividend to-morrow by the American Tobacco Company. He was uncertain, he said, that the writ should issue. The rule was ithut when the Judge was not certain, the writ should not issue. He wall file a written opin ion with the Secretary Os State at Tren ton to-morrow. SHAMEFUL AND OPEN BRIBERY. Washington, April 30.—(Special)— The result of the Democratic conven tion in Michigan is all the talk here. Until a month ago, the silver men only counted on carrying three districts. Latterly it has looked as if they would carry it all except Detroit. The gold men are elated, and say they will now win. A Democratic silver Senator said to-day: “I have not the detailed ac count from the convention. The peo ple elected a majority of delegates who claimed to be silver. I have informa tion that t?Pre was shameful and open bribery.” THE RESULT IN MICHIGAN. Washington, April 30.—Secretary Carlisle has received a telegram from Don M. Dickinson, at Detroit, saying that ex-Speaker Crjsp’s claim that Mr. Weadlock, one of the delegates to Chi cago elected yesterday, is a free silver advocate, is without foundation, and that Mr. Weadlock is as sound on the financial question as Secretary Car lisle himself, to whom Michigan sends greeting. Mr. Dickinson, wires: “We elected twenty honest money men out of twenty-eight in the delegation and put on the unit rule.” Pittsboro, N. C„ April 30.—(Special) —Republican convention in Chatham instructed unanimously for Dockery, not a, Russell man in the convention. Holton was endorsed for chairman. County fusion recommended. SCOTT JACKSON ON THE SI AND. He Adniils Having Illicit Relations With Pearl Bryan. .Newport, ivy., April 30. According to Kentucky laws which require that if a, defendant is to be put on the stand at all he should be called first. Scott Jackson was put upon the stand this morning, lie gave a brief sketch of his life in Jersey City and New A'ork, and of his acquaintance in Green Cas tle Inn, where his mother lives, and told briefly of his acquaintance with Pearl Bryan. He was in Green Castle from the spring of 1895 until the middle of Octo ber of that year and saw Pearl Bryan often. He admitted illicit relations w ith her during the last Christmas hol idays. lie was about to tell of state ments made to him by Will Wood, con cerning Wood’s relations with Pearl Bryan, when the court decided that such testimony was not admissible. Jackson said he had received letters from Wood, but they were so vile, he destroyed all but two, these are now in the possession of the prosecution. With reference to Pearl Bryan’s vis it to Cincinnati, Jackson said he had no notice of her coming. He called n | K>ii her after hearing that she was in the city and went with her Tuesday night to Walnut Hill and met hcr/md Walling on Wednesday and never saw her afterwards. The rest of his testimony was devot ed to proving an alibi, by showing where he spent the time from Wednes day until Saturday, lie denied being in Kentucky during any of those days. I’he prosecution at the close of Jack son’s testimony announced that ‘'the commonwealth would not cross-exam ine this witness.” Court then adjourned. e The main pur pose of the defence to prove an alibi by Jackson will he supported, if possible, by the testimony of other witnesses. Jackson stated thrf he did not know Pearl Bryan was in Cincinnati until Tuesday, January 28th, when he re ceived a note from her at the dental college, inviting him to visit her. All the tesimony of the witnesses. Mrs. Weeks, the spiritualist medium, Mr. Pinkard, who saw him and Walling with Pearl Bryan on College street t.he day Ik* fore the murder, and at Fort Meyer, who saw him in Kentucky with the girl shortly before the murder, he emphatically branded as being true.. He admits to taking Pearl Bryan to Wallingford’s saloon, but, says it was on Tuesday night, January 28th, in stead of Friday', January 31st, the night before the murder, as testified by Wallingford. He said th;ifl Walling agreed to relieve the girl secretly and when all was over and she was fit to be returned home, would turn her over to the witness. He says he took her valise, the one afterward found stained inside with blood, carried it to his room on Tuesday afternoon, tried to return it Wednesday, but could not find Wall ing to whom he intended to give it. He said that on Saturday night of the day the body was found he and Walling dropped some clothing into the river, which Walling, without further ex planation, told him it was unsafe to keep in their room. When he made in quiry about the matter Walling told him to ask no questions. His explana tion of his shifting that valise around was very awkward. When called upon to explain why he participated in hid ing Pearl Bryan’s clothing, he said that he feared that the part he had taken to bring her to save Will W’ood, might implicate him. THE MARYLAND HURDLE RACE Two Miles and a Quarter Over Ten Hurdles For SI,OOO.

OLNEY’S PROMPT ACTION Assurences Direct From the Boer Government. REFORMERS PLEADED GUILTY No Details of the Nature of the Com mutation of Sentence in Hammond’s Case Has Yet Been Re ceived Here. Washington, April 30.—Secretary Olney having, on the 28th instant, tele graphed the Secretary of State of the South African Republic to the effect that it was assumed that the death sen tence of Hammond and other American citizens would be commuted, and that he would like to have assurance on that point, was answered this morning by the Transvaal Secretary of State as fol lows: “There was no talk of an understand ing between judge and government be fore the sentence of death was pro nounced, but before the reception of your telegram, the Executive Council had resolved to let mercy take the place of justice, and not to enfor - the death penal ty.” No details of the nature of the com mutation of sentence m Hammond’s ease has yet reached the State depart ment, and it is supposed that the Council has not gone further up to this time than to anonunce the fact. The information made public is of special interest as showing that the Stevie department not only intervened in Hammond’s behalf through the gov ernment of Great Britain, but with the Boer government direct. London, April 30.—The Secretary of State for the Colonies, Mr. Joseph Chamberlain, announced in the House of Commons this afternoon that he has received the following dispatch from Sir Jacobus A. De Wefit, the agent of the British government at Pretoria: “The Boers themselves com! emu severity and art* petitioning for a mit igation or a five pardon.’’ A despatch to the Times from Pie tori a says that the reformers pleaded guilty, owing to the fact that their counsel advised them to do so in the face of the mass of incriminating ev idence, in the shape of letters, tele grams and codes, found in the des j*atoh box of the Jameson party, which fell into the hands of the government. Under the circumstances, it is added, this was the safest course to follow. A dispatch to the Daily Telegraph, gives the substance of an interview held with President Kruger, in which he said that lie had scotched the death sentence at onee to show that after the law had been vindicated there was no vindictive personal feeling on the part of himself or the government. He be lieved, he said, that the government’s decision would be announced before the Volksraad meets on Monday. The Executive Council would find difficulty, he thought, *in classifying the offend ers, with whom they irttend to deal, on a sliding scale. It is rumored that President Kruger has received a personal cable dispatch from President Cleveland with refer ence to John Hays Hammond. Much information to-night is that the outlook is hopeful for a majority of the offenders. NATIONAL BASEBALL LEAGUE. Summaries of Yesterday’s Games in Various League Cities. YESTERDAY’S GAMES.
