JERSEY DEMOCRATS
Will Send an Uninstructed
Delegation to Kansas City.
STATE CONVENTION AT TRENTON
Chairman la His Speech. Paid Little
Attention to Silver Planks
of the Platform.
TRENTON. N. J., May 3L There were
over 1000 delegates present at the Demo
cratic State Convention today, called to
elect delegates to the National conven
tion. The convention was characterized
hy enthusiasm and by strong Bryan senti
ment, 0 far as expressions went, although
the convention refused, with less than 109
votes, to Instruct the delegates to Kansas
City te vote for Bryan.
C. M. Zulick. ex-Governor of Ari
zona, now a resident of Monmouth County,
was chairman of the convention. In his
speech he touched only slightly on the
financial question, and referred to trusts
and militarism as the issues of the hour.
"Every epoch In our National history
furnished men equal to the necessity of
the hour." he said, "and now that the
liberty of the people is menaced by im
perialism, militarism and trusts, the coun
try will find in the wise, patriotic states
man, William J. Bryan, a safe, true son
of the people."
It was 3 o'clock when the committee on
resolutions was ready to report. The com
mittee, by a vote of 12 to 7, decided against
sending an Instructed delegation to Kansas
City. The proposition which was voted
down came from a Bryan supporter from
Hunterdon County. The resolutions adopt
ed by the platform committee declared
"for that bimetallsm that has been advo
cated and supported by the Democratic
party from its inception to the present
time." The resolutions declare for more
stringent legislation, state and National,
Including a Constitutional amendment, if
necessary, to regulate trusts; denounce im
perialism: denounce Porto Rican taxation;
declare for independence of the Filipinos;
insist that our pledges to Cuba be kept,
and denounce the Cuban frauds: favor
construction of the Nicaragua Canal by
the Government, and its control by the
United States: extend sympathy to the
Boers; oppose any foreign alliance, and
"recognize W. J. Bryan as the popular
tribune of the people, above all fearless,
honest and worthy to receive at their
hands the highest political honor." The
resolutions were adopted by a vote of 913
to 7C
Robert Davis, of Hudson; Thomas M
Ferrell, of Gloucester: Johnson Cornish,
of "Warren, and James E. Martln. ol
Union, were elected delegates-at-'.arge.'and
16 district delegates were chosen.
INSTRUCTED DELEGATION.
New York's Vote in the Democratic
Convention Will Go to Brjan.
NEW YORK, May 31. The Herald says:
William J. Bryan will be practlcally
nominated for President when the Demo
cratic convention of this state meets in
this city next Tuesday. There will be no
opposition worth the name to override
all precedents of the organization and
place the National delegates who are to
be chosen, under Instructions to support
the Nebraska candidate in Kansas City.
All plans for opposing Bryan In the Na
tional convention were founded upon the
hostility of the New Tork delegation, and
with this removed, the convention will be
assured to him In advance.
Conferences held by the opponents of
the plan to Instruct the delegates showed
that a majority of the state convention
was against them, and they gave up.
With the Tammany vote and the dele
gates from the interior of the state who
have been instructed for Brian, his
friends claimed 275 of the 425 delegates
in favor of instructions.
Brooklyn, Tvhlch has held out against
Instructions and which through Its repre
sentatives In Congress has declared for
sound money, capitulated when a review
of the situation showed the futility of
further resistance.
It was said last night that David B.
Hill, who had formed elaborate plai.s to
prevent the National delegates from being
pledged, had had a talk with Hugh Mc
Laughlin, in which Mr. McLaughlin In
formed him that Kings County could not
help him. Mr. Hill drove away from the
Hoffman House alone early In the after
noon and was absent until dinner time.
Upon his return, he was asked whether
he had seen Mr. McLaughlin and he re
fused to say.
In Brooklyn the statement was made un
equivocally by machine leaders that the
Democrats of that borough would Join
Tammany In voting for instructions for
Bryan. They pointed out that a fight
would certainly end in defeat and that
Kings County could not afford to antag
onize lammany unless for good cause.
because of the control of the Manhattan
organization over city patronage.

NEW YORK. May 31. A special to the
Herald from Washington sas:
President McKlnley and Secretary Root
are confronted w 1th the problem of select
ing from half a dozen equally deserving
officers two to till vacancies in the grades
of Major-General of Volunteers and Brigadier-General
In the regular service. In
anticipation of the vacancy which will
bp caused by the retirement of Major
General Merritt, the President has nomi
nated Major-General Otis, who holds vol
unteer rank, to be a Major-General In the
regular establishment. The resignation
by General Otis of his volunteer com
mission will make a vacancy In the grado
of Brigadier-General in the regular army.
The President's choice for the volunteer
officers will probably fall upon Brigadier
General R. P. Hughes, tv ho commands
the Department of the Visayas. unless he
should be selected for Brigadier-General
In the regular service. These six
officers are under consideration for
tho appointment of Brigadier-General:
Brigadier-General E. C. Davis, com

Brigadier-General A. R. Chaffee, recent

Cuba, and Brigadier-General Theodore
Schwan. who is now returning to the
"United States from the Philippines.
Present indications point to the promo
tion of General Davis who has done ex
ceptionally good work in Porto Rico.

CHICAGO, May 31. The rabbit chases
conducted by the Chicago Coursing Club
at Forty-seventh street and Western
avenue have been ended by the police,
aided y representatives of the Humane
Society. For several years past coursing
matches have been held. Rabbits axe
turned loose and hounds sent in pursuit,
followed by large crowds, until the quar
ry is run to earth by the hounds or it
escapes. A club known as the Chicago
Coursing Club was formed and large
matches held on holidays.
John, G. Shortall. president of the Hu
mane Society, tried last year to suppress
the matches, but failed. The club pre
pared an elaborate programme for Memo
rial Day with which to open the season
Three hundred men and boys were present
to watch the chases. Thomas Hogan,
president of the club, gave a rabbit Its
liberty. When It had gone a few hundred
yards the hounds were released and men
and boj s, some on horseback, others afoot,
followed. Hogan prepared to Join the
chase, but was arrested on charges of
cruelty to animals and disorderly conduct.
James Walsh and James Carter, both
members of the club, then released rab
bits and both were arrested. Nobody els
wanted to conduct th chases and the
crowd dispersed. The police captured one
Jackrabblt alive, and will use It as evi
dence.

If it is necessary to relieve the Supreme Court, it should be

159. Irrigation Amendment: An Invasion of Private
Property Rights.
The power to exercise the right of eminent domain is con
ferred upon any person who wishes to appropriate a stream or
other water supply on any pretext that it is necessary for "the
development of the natural resources of the state." The dangers
of such an extension of corporate and personal authority over the
lands and property of another are obvious.

found his way blocked by tho enemy

attacked.

"Hamilton Is now at Florida, due west
of Johannesburg, and French Is a few

heavy artillery, are south o Johannes

praise of the manner In which Bruce
Hamilton and Colonel Spens of the
Shropshire Light Infantry, handled their
men, under Smith-Dorrien's direction."
The War Office has received the follow
ing dispatch from Lord Roberts, under
date of Germestown, May 30:
"In answer to a flag of truce I sent to
Johannesburg this morning, the command
ant came to see me. He begged me to de
fer entering the town for 24 hours, as
there were many armed burghers still In

anxious to avert the possibility of any

party of Boero near Senekal May 2S. He
said his casualties were not heavy.
"Brabant reports that May 2S two of his
patrols, consisting of two officers and 3
men. were cut off by the enemy and taken
prisoners."
Lord Roberts dispatches throw a some
what different light upon the military sit
uation. Before they were received, cele
brations were organized In the country
towns In honor of the fall of Pretoria.
In Chester a public holiday was declared,
while at Dover, Portsmouth and many
other places and provinces flags were
flown and the rejoicings were general.
Pretoria, however. Is not yet in the hands
of the British, though there Is no reason
to doubt the authenticity of the report
that Kruger has vacated the place and
that the municipality is ready to surren
der when confronted by superior num
bers. At 9 o'clock last night the flnal forward
movement on the Transvaal capital had
apparently not commenced. All Roberts'
disposition of troops appear to apply to
Johannesburg, and, though the British
eieem certain to reach Pretoria within a
day or so. they will not occupy It with
out fighting. If the opposition of the Boers
around Johannesburg Is any criterion.
General French's movement appears not
so much an Immediate advance on Pre
toria as a part of the plan to surround
Johannesburg, from which place last night
he was only a few miles distant.
General Brabant's loss of 40 men Is strik

NEW YORK. May 3L A dispatch to the
Tribune from London, May 31. says:
A striking contrast was offered between
the scenes In Pall Mall and other thor
oughfares last night and those of Mafe-
klng. The fate of Johannesburg and tne
richest gold district in the world was
nHntf in the balance, but there were no
1 throngs of anxious spectators in front of
the range of popular sympathies, where
as, a fortnight ago, London was shouting
Itself hoarse over the deliverance of a
few hundred colonial troops from star
vation in Mafeklng.
London was not deeply Interested in
what was going on in South Africa nor
Pretoria sweepstakes. Not since October
had there been so little news bulletined
nor an qual degree of public apathy.
The Haymarket was an animated spec
tacle at 11 o'clock when Her Majesty's
Theater was emptied after the flrst per
formance of Mr. Tree's adaptation ot
"Rip Van Winkle," which has astonished
the American admirers of Joseph Jeffer

ALBANY, Or May 31. Under Instruc

telegraphed the Director of the Census at
Washington that everything was ready for
tho beginning of the work of taking the
census of 1500. This was to be done by
every supervisor in the United States, so
that the department at Washington would
know for certain the exact condition of
affairs. In this district every one of the
many preliminary details In preparation
for the work has been carefully attended
to. Every enumerator has his outfit com
plete, with full Instructions, given with a
view of securing an absolutely complete
and correct enumeration of the popula
tion and Industries of the district. In Al
bany, for instance, the enumerators of
the two divisions will start at a certain
place and complete every block In order
in such a way as to leave no possibility of
an omission of a single name In the city,
with the attendant statistics. It Is be

The Most Successful Year in Its His
tory 52 Diplomas This Year.
SEATTLE. May 31. The year Just clos
ing bai been the most successful one In
the whole history of the University of
Washington. In the flrst place the 500
mark was passed In the registration of
students. Then the students and faculty
settled down to a perfect understanding
of hard work. Toward the end of the
year the students began t6 roll in an
avalanche of victories of every kind. Es
pecially is this true In the line of debates.
A team of freshmen, consisting of Mc
Donald of Green Lake, Hanson of Seattle,
and Edmunds (J. A.) of Ballard, de
feated a team from the High School, of
Portland, Or. A team consisting of Mil
Ittt of Chehalls, Wright of Falrhaven and
Laube of New Whatcom defeated tho
Washington Agricultural College team at
Pullman, in the second annual contest
with that Institution. Finally a team con
sisting of Mitchell of New Whatcom.
Edmunds (T. T.) of Ballard and Schroder
of Seattle defeated a team from the
University of Oregon in the closest contest
of the season. Here were three fine vic
tories and not a single defeat for the
University of Washington in the line of
debates.
In the field of athletics the victories
were almost as pronounced. A fine track
team met the teams of Whitman College
at Walla Walla and of the Washington
Agricultural College and the University
of Idaho at Pullman, and won victories
from them which made the University of
Washington chamDlon for the States of
Washington and Idaho. The local team
then met a line lot of athletes from the
University of Oregon on the Seattle field,
but lost by two points out of a total of
122 points. This was such a narrow mar
gin that it could easily have been turned
to a -victory If the managers forthe Uni
versity of Washington had entered a cou
ple of reserve men In one of three events
in which the visitors picked up third place

Fifty-two diplomas will be issued at

SEW STREETS FOR LEWISTOX.
Old Town Takes a Lonp Step Toward
Improvement.
LEWISTON, Idaho, May 3L The old
City of Lewlston- has at last taken a step
forward in the way of progress. In ac
cordance with a petition presented by the
property-owners, bids will be received by
the Council for street work. The bids will
be opened and the contract awarded on
June 20. Tne estimated cost ofthe work
Is $10,000. Last week another petition
was presented for about $2000 worth of
work. After the publication of the neces
sary resolutions and the hearing required
by law, bids will be called for on this
work. Contracts for it will probably be
let about July 15 to 20.
The work petitioned for Is macadam, one
foot thick between concreted stone gutters,
each three feet wide, and concrete curbs
16 inches deep and eight inches thick.
There will be stone and concrete crossings
and sewer pipe culverts. The Job to be
let June 20 Is about 1GO0 feet long, and
the roadway between the gutters about 40
feet wide The other Job for which bids
will be received one month later will be
about 200 feet long.
The City Engineer has urged upon the
Council the advisability of the city pur
chasing a Tockcrusher, with screens com
plete, and also a roadroller. Bids were
called for, but the conservative element
In the Council won the day, and It was de
cided not to purchase the outfit. This
will Increase the cost perhaps $2000, as
only firms having complete outfits can
compete. These firms must come from
the outside, as there never has been any
street work done in Lewlston, and there
are no outfits of tne kind in the city.
The contractor will be paid In warrants
bearing 7 per cent interest. The money
will be collected next January by special
assessment on property benefited.

I NOT ANXIOUS TO SERVE
ST. LOUIS CITIZENS TRYING TO
EVADE SHERIFF'S SUMMONS.
Physicians' Certificates of Disability
Are Used as Pretexts Strikers
Contlnne the Disorders.
ST. LOUIS. May 31. Up to a late hour
tonight the podce department had not
chronicled any disturbance of a serious
nature as a result of the street-car strike
during the day.
Public interest centers for the time be
ing In yesterday's order of the Police
Commissioners on the Sheriff of St. Louis
County to swear In 1000 special deputies,
and in their order of today ordering the
swearing in of 1500 additional men, making
2500 in all, for the purpose of aiding tho
police department In preserving peace
and order. To a certain extent these or
ders have created consternation among
men in all walks of life, as Is evi
denced by Sheriff Pohlman's statement
that an epidemic of sickness has suddenly
broken out In the city since the draft of
a posse began. Nearly every man of any
position, the Sheriff says, who has been
summoned to sorve in. the posse Is scurry
ing about to get a physician's certificate
that he Is suffering from chronic disease
whiqh unfits him for duty. Many of those
who remonstrated with the Sheriff this
morning were veterans of several wars.
They complained that they had already
served their country, and thought It an. Im
position to place them. In tho posse, and
suggested that there were hundreds of
younger and Just as good citizens who
might better perform service.
Among the prominent citizens sum
moned to serve In the posse comltatus are
the following: "William E. FIebo, ex-Judga
of the Circuit Court; Charles H. Green,
street-car magnate; George H. Plant, of
the Plant Milling Company; A. W. Stew
art, attorney for the Union Trust Com
pany; W. D. Orthwein, member of tho
Merchants Exchange Exporting Commis
sion; John A. Warren, stockbroker; D. T.
Byren, real estate agent; Peyton Carr,
corporation lawyer; Edgar Tilton, Will
Stanard. son of ex-Lleutenant-Governor
Stanard; Otto Telchman, a wealthy man;
George S. Johns, editor of the Post-Dispatch;
Rev. Dr. S. J. Nicholas, pastor ot
the Second Presbyterian Church, and Gen
eral G. B. Farrer, United States Sub
treasurer at St. Louis.
No male citizens between the ages of 21
and 65 are exempt unless engaged In police
or military service, or unless physical dis
ability be proved.
Sheriff Pohlman reported that the work
of recruiting the first 1000 deputies called
for was progressing rapidly, and he be
lleved he would have no trouble in gath
ering In the full quota of 2500 deputies.
The Police Board decided today to arm
the posse with riot guns. The weapon is
a short-barreled repeating shotgun, about
34 feet long. The magazine has a capa
city for six shells, which may be loaded
with buckshot or small shot. The pur
pose of the arm Is to do as much execu
tion as possible. The Police Board has
700 of the guns on hand, and steps have
been taken to secure more immediately.
Some lawyers who have studied the law
relating to the power of the Sheriff to
compel citizens to serve on the special
force of the deputies which he is organiz
ing believe the Sheriff is not organizing a
posse comitatus, but Is forming merely a
force of special deputies. Under this In
terpretation of the law, some of those
summoned failed to obey the summons ot
the Sheriff.
A committee of South St. Louisians, ap
pointed to represent a mass meeting held
today, called on the Chief of Police ana
President Whlttaker, of the Transit Com
pany, and presented a significant ultima
tum. It was said that unless the police
or the company disarm its employes in
the power-house and carsheds, the com
mittee would take the work of doing so
in its own hands. They said they pro
posed to protect their wives and children,
whatever the result.
It developed today that four persons
were shot during street-car "troubles last
night, full details of which were not
gathered until a late hour. Thomas Kehoo
and Thomas Riley, both union motormen,
are seriously wounded. Kehoe was shot In
the abdomen dnring a fight near the car-
sheds at Broadway and Osage streets.
Riley received a bullet through the chest,
near the heart, during a pistol battle
between several supposed passengers who
left a Union line car at Twenty-fifth and
Farrar streets and a crowd that pursued
them. Ora Havlll, formerly a Captain in
the Ninth Illinois Volunteer Infantry, is
under arrest on tho charge of shooting
Kfboe. He is employed as a watchman by
the Transit Company.
Albert Koenlg, a union man, emptied
the contents of a shotgun into the body
of Policeman Crane, and was himself im
mediately killed by a bullet from the re
volver of Officer Maher, on Broadway,
near the Southern electric power-house,
late tonight. Koenlg was walking back
and forth In front of the power-house
with a shotgun on his shoulder, declaring
that he was a union man, and defying
the Transit Company and its nonunion
employes. Officer Crane approached him
and asked him to take his shotgun home.
Koenlg replied in vehement terms that
he would do nothing of the sort, and!
iwhen the officer grappled with him in
an effort to disarm him, the man brought
the weapon to his shoulder and pulled th
trigger. The officer sank to the ground,
unconscious. Maher was near by, and.
running up to Koenlg, demanded his sur
render. Koenlg made a threatening
movement and Maher shot him, killing
him instantly. Crane Is at the Alexlan
Brothers' 'Hospital, In a dying condition.
Injunction Dissolved.
NEW YORK, May 3L-Ju3tice Andrews,
in the Supreme Court, has dissolved the
sweeping injunction against the Cigar
makers' Union which prohibited the pay
ment by members of the union of strike
benefits and practically made it unlawful
to contribute to the support of a striker's
family when the heed of the house was out
of work.
This Is the Injunction which ao aroused
Samuel Gompers, president of the Ameri
can Federation of Labor, that he came
to this city and made an address to the
striking clgarmakers. in which he advised
them to disregard the injunction of Jus
tice Freedman. President Gompers de
nounced the order as un-American and il
legal and for a few days it was believed
the labor president would be punished for
contempt.
The injunction dissolved by Justice An
drews was to restrain temporarily the
members of Cigar-makers International
Union, No. 144, from Interfering with the
business of the plaintiffs, S. Levy & Com
pany. It went further than any previous
restraining order In prohibiting the pay
ment of any strike benefits or of moneys
to the strikers on the ground that such
payaents were made to foment the strike
and encourage its continuance.
Justice Andrews says the temporary in
junction was granted properly on the pa
pers before Justice Freedman, but that
the defendants have met the allegations,
which are largely on information and be
lief, with specific denials of the material
allegations by the different individuals re
ferred to in the moving papers, so that
the injunction cannot be continued with
out allegations of the plaintiff of threats
and Intimidation, which, the Justice says,
are not borne out on all the papers pre
sented. With regard to the payment of strike
moneys, the Justice finds the plaintiffa
have not proved the alleged purpose ot
the payment. The plaintiffs said tho
moneys were paid to keep up the strike
and injure the plaintiffs. Justice Andrews
finds that the moneys were not paid to in
terfere with or Injure the business of the
plaintiffs, but that the moneys were paid
to the strikers to support them and their
families pending the strike, for which an
lnujnction will not He.
