THE MORNING OBEGONIAN, FRIDAY, AUGUST 16, 1901.
WARSHIP WILL BE SENT
AMERICAN VESSEL WILL PROCEED
TO PACIFIC SIDE OF ISTHMUS.
Either the Ranger or the Iorva Will
Be Ordered to Panama-General
Uribe-Uribe 3ot Dead.
"WASHINGTON. Aug. 15. It is now defi
nitely determined that the United- States
will be represented on the Pacific side of
the Isthmus -Ol Panama -as -well -as on de
Atlantic side. Thus far the Hanger has
Seen held In readiness at San, Diego, and
the Iowa Is coming: down to San Fran
c sco to be In readiness to go south from
that point. But, while the formal or
ders have not been Issued, one or the
ottaer of these ships Is to proceed south
to look after American Interests. The
probability is that it will be the Hanger,
as she is further down the coast, and
the trouble does not appear to warrant
the presence of a battle-ship.
The State Department Is without any
additional word from Colombia or Vene
zuela concerning the disorders. At the
Venezuelan Legation Senor Pulldo, Charge
a'Affaires, expressed a, nrm belief that
there was no actual war between his
sountry and Colombia, for he said he
(could be immediately cabled if war be
tween the two countries had been de
rlared, or even "was imminent.
URIBE-URIBE IS ALIVE.
And In Command of the Venezuelan
Army.
MIW YORK, Aug. 15. The Tribune
says:
The Colombians here who discredited the
report that General Uribe-TJribe had been
killed In battle were right. Two commu
nication have been, received from, the rebel
chief by Dr. A. Bestapo, representing the.
Liberal party in this country. These not
only overcome all doubts as to whether
General Urlbe-Uribe is really alive, but
convey the further news that he la in
the heat of the conflict. One was a letter
dated August 3 at San Cristobal, Ven
ezuela, and the other a cable dispatch
from Maracaibo, dated August 10, which
had been sent for transmission from, the
former place.
General Imuran announced that General
rribe-Urlbe "was killed July 21. The Mar
acaibo message said: "Complete victory
over invaders under General Gonzales
Valencia." This refers to the Invasion of
last Friday, and explains the complicated
affairs on the Venezuelan and Colombian
frontiers. It proves, too, Colombians here
eay, the correctness of a report from an
other source that General Uribe-TJribe is
rot yet in Colombia, but in reality Is com
manding the Venezuelan army which de
feated the invaders from Colombia.
It Is further asserted that President
Clpriano Castro, of Venezuela, cabled to
General Uribe-Uribe when the latter was
In this city, to come immediately to his
assistance when he learned of the at
tacks being prepared at Cucuta. This ac
counts for Uribe-Uribe's hurried depar
ture for Venezuela. The Venezuelan
Government, to avoid trouble, has claimed
that General Celestino Castro, a brother
of the President, led the troops in these
battles.
Rual Parez, secretary of the Liberal
diplomatic agency, eaid yesterday:
"The Colombian and Venezuelan Cler
icals organized an invasion against the
Liberal Venezuelan Government, and on
the other side the Venezuelan and Colom
bian Liberals prepared themselves to meet
the invaders at the frontier. General
Xribe-Uribe Js at the head of the Co
lombian element of that army. Most
l'kely he "was the commanding General
who obtained the two victories of July
29 and August 9. Venezuela has no rea
son to declare war against Colombia be
cause the Clerical invasion .has been com
pletely defeated, and before two months
elapse the Liberal party will be In power
in Colombia. On the other hand, the
Clerical government of Colombia is not in
a position to declare war against Ven
ezuela, In his letter General TJribe-Urlbe,
besides saying that he hoped soon to be
on his way to Bogota, does not mention
anything of his future plans."
FREXCH ARE SUSPICIOUS.
Comment of Paris Journals on the
United States' Attitude.
NEW YORK, Aug. 15. Paris papers con
tinue to regard the attitude of the United
States in Central America with suspicion
savs the Paris correspondent of the Her
ald. The Temps in an editorial says:
"The salvation of the Latin race in the
state of Central and South America lies
in federation and union. Their political
divisions keep them In a feeble condition
-which places them at the mercy of the
formidable Anglo-Saxon confederation in
the North, whoso policy extends Its cupid
ity over the entire continent, which it
has proclaimed its own by the Monroe
Doctrine. What was originally a moral
protectorate the United States aims by
degrees to render effective with or with
out a Pan-American Congess. The con
flict between Colombia and Venezuela
serves this policy so well that one cannot
but feel the hand of Americans in the
imbroglio. It furnishes them with the
desired pretext for sending a squadron to
both sides of the isthmus and exercising
Jurisdiction and police-control, by virtue
of the treaty of 1846 with Colombia, in the
district! of the inter-oceanic canal, which
they mean to have all to themselves by
tearing up, if necessary, the Clayion
Bulwer treaty, by which they agreed with
England on Its neutrality."
The Francais says:
"Americans are impatiently seeking an
opportunity of laying hands on the Isth
mus of Panama, and, should an opportu
nity not present Itself, are determined to
provoke it. Already Yankee journalists
and diplomatists are declaring the United
States has no need of a pretext for occu
pying the isthmus. They point to the
treaty by which Americans undertake to
defend the Isthmus against every foreign
power, but no foreign power menaces Co
lombia, not one except Its good friend and
ally. Its vigilant protector, the great
Union of North America,"
The Figaro says:
"Civil -war and foreign war, a Colom
bian insurrection supported by Venezuela,
a Venezuelan insurrection favored by Co
lombia, divergent views between the gov
ernments on the one liand and between
the two insurrections on the other, immi
nent intervention by the United States,
and to crown all, insecurity of citizens, in
stability of home relations and rupture of
communications with the outer world
such, in a few words, is the summing up
of the confused situation."
BATTLE WAS A SERIOUS ONE.
Engagement of July 28 Resulted in
Heavy Loss on Both Sides.
NEW YORK, Aug. 15. Details regard
ing the Venezuelan-Colombian conflict of
July 28 have been received, and convey
the first intimation that the battle was
a serious one. The engagement was
fought at Las Pillas, La Parada and
Pirinos, and lasted 25 hours. The Co
lombian forces were compelled to retire,
but not before 1100 on both sides had
been killed and wounded. Among these
were General Resendo Medina, of the
Venezuelan side, and four Colonels. The
army of 6000 Invaders was divided into
28 regiments, some of which were of the
regular Colombian army, commanded by
government officers and using the army
artillery.
Because of the strict postal, press" and
cable censorship exercised, the victories
won by the rebels in several battles were
until now giwn as mere rumors. A Jist
of these battles was among the advices
received by Dr. Resrepo. July 10. ac
cording to insurgent advices, General
M. Jose Castillo defeated the government
troops under General Luis Velez at Pai
mlra, taking many prisoners, arms and
supplies. General Clodomlro Castillo won
a battle over a regiment that attempted
to Intercept his command in its march to
Rio Haca. General Marin's troops have
won several engagements, and now prac
tically control the Departip&t of Toll
ma. Two other battles with favorable results
for the rebels took place at Canazas und
Gatun, Department of Panama. Four
battles have been fought during the laet
month in the south of Cauca which were
also government defeats, though .details
are lacking.
RAIDS ALOXG PANAMA ROAD.
Chinese the Chief Sufferers Govern
ment Concentrating Troops.
COLOJ7. Colombia, Aug. 15 Raids con
tinue almost daily or nightly along the
line, owing to the entire absence of mili
tary protection. Last night Matachin
was again raided and cattle belonging to
sympathizers with the government were
stolen. Two women were lddnaped at
Gorgon station Sunday night and the
Chinese there were pillaged. On most oc
casions of this character, the Chinese aro
the chief sufferers. Consequently they
are dally transferring povlsions and mer
chandise to Panama, thus intensifying
want 'and suffering all along the line.
Armed guards consisting of about 50 men
still accompany each passenger train.
The presence of the French cruiser
Suchet tends to allay uneasiness and the
arrival of the United States gunboat Ma
chias is anxiously awaited. Beyond the
loss of dynamite and powder, the railroad
has sustained no Injury and traffic across
the Isthmus continues without interrup
tion, although far fewer local passengers
are now crossing.
The government is concentrating troops
from the more remote provinces. Tele
graphic communication with coast points
is Interrupted, and hence nothing is
known here regarding the situation at
Cartagenia and Barranqullla. General
Alban has not yet returned to Colon,
but is expected at any' moment with re
inforcements. Troops continue to patrol
both ends of the Isthmus line at night.
LIBERALS' CHAA'CES GOOD.
Many Wounded Government Soldiers
Taken to Colon.
KINGSTON, Jamaica, Aug, 15. A largo
number of wounded men, belonging to
the government troops, were taken to
Colon Monday. This is regarded as an
indication of the persistence of the rebel
attacks.
The converted cruiser Namouna has
been found to be practically useless, ow
ing to the bungling attempt to mount
heavy guns on board her. The Colom
bian Government is now negotiating for
the purchase of the steamer Bernard Hall,
of the West India & Pacific Steamship
Company, Limited, of Liverpool.
The Darien brought 40 passengers, who
were obliged to leave Colon in order to
avoid conscription. They say the chances
of the Liberals' success seem better
than ever since the commencement of
the revolution. The British Consul at
Colon has entered a protest against Ja
maicans being compelled by the Colom
bian Government to fight against the
rebels. Guards are still kept on board
the trains running between Panama and
Colon.
Both sides are committing atrocities.
In the attack made on the government
troops, Sunday, a few miles out of Co
lon, the rebels defeated the government
force, and one of the latter was after
wards found shot in the abdomen, with
both legs amputated. This was a repri
sal for the torture by the government
of political prisoners.

latest bulletin of the Colombian insur
rectionists, a copy of which has just been
received here, the rebels have a fighting

Icarus, sloop-of-war, which has been or
dered to England, will leave Friday morn
ing. She will call at San Diego and at

Successful Wireless Telegraphy.
NANTUCKET, Mass., Aug. 15. Commu
nication by wireless telegraph has been
established between this islano. and South
Shoal lightship, and the system is work

been exchanged between Fiasconset and
the lightship.
Fighting at Colon and Panama.
KINGSTON. Jamaica, Aug. 15. The
British steamer Darien has arrived from
Colon and brings reports of heavy fight
ing Monday on the outskirts of Panama
and Colon. The rebels were steadily ad
vancing on the towns. A large number
of men had been wounded.
PROFIT-SHARING SCHEME.
Employes of Steel Trust "Will Have
Chance to Purchase Stoclc.
NEW YORK, Aug. 15. The Press will
say tomorrow:
"J. Pierpont Morgan has planned the
greatest labor union of the age, a union
of labor and capital. According to his
plans, stock of the United States Steel
Corporation valued at several minions
of dollars at par value has been set aside
for purchase at Inside figures by the
165,000 men employed by the companies
that make up the great steel trust. It is
contemplated to form this co-partnership
between the shareholders and the em
ployes of the United States Steel Cor
poration. The plan was conceived before
the strike was ihought of and then it
was expected that it might be put in
operation in two years. It required time
to formulate the details of such a tre
mendous undertaking. For this reason
announcement was withheld. At a recent
conference, however, between the execu
tive board of the Amalgamated ""Associa
tion and Charls Schwab, president of the
United States Steel Corporation, it came
out that Schwab, under the direction of
Morgan, had formulated a profit-sharing
scheme whereby it was proposed to make
every employe of the Steel Corporation
co-operator in the business.''
The Press will also say that the plan
contemplated by the United States Steel
Corporation is nothing more than a high
development of the scheme that has pre
vailed in the Carnegie plant since 1S92.
After studying the success attained by
Carnegie it Is said that Morgan and his
assistants in the management of the
United States Steel Corporation deter
mined that It would be wise to extend
the scheme. '
General Fitzhugh Lee has decided that the
business In which he has determined to en
gage upon retiring to private life near Rich
mond, Va.. will be "of an industrial charac
ter," but beyond this he has refused to make
any statement for publication. -.
ATTHE BAR OF THE HOUSE
EDITOR OF THE LONDON GLOBE
CALLED TO TIME.
Accused Nationalist Editors of Cor
ruption War" Debate Bet-ween
Hurconrt and Chamberlain. .
LONDON, Auff. 15. The House of Com
mons today, on motion of John Redmond,
the Irish Nationalist leader, ordered the
editor and jmblisher of the Globe, an
evening paper of London (Conservative),
to appear at the bar of the House tomor
row afternoon for gross breach of privi
leges of the House in accusing the Na
tionalist members of corruption In con
rectlon with private bill legislation. The
Globe editorial to which exception is
taken said:
"The same spirit and the same motives
which have made Tammany the synonym
for political obloquy have made the Na
tionalist party what It Is. Many connect
ed with it are the very xuck of the pop
ulation, whose sole object is to make
as much money by political jobbery and
corruption as they cam Anyone who ha
had connection with the Irish private
bills, corporation contracts and fran
chises across the water can bear ample
testimony to this."
The Globe, hearing of Mr. Redmond's
proposed action, attempted to explain
that It had not meant any imputation on
members of the House of Commons, "but
upon the wire-pullers and parasites who
have made politics In Ireland a profes
sion, as their kinsmen have done in New
York."
Mr. Redmond, in calling attention to
this "very degrading and scandalous li
bel," said the libel concerned the House
of Commons as a whole far more than
the Irish members. The latter had not
complained of the violent, rancorous
attack of Mr. Chamberlain at Blenheim,
because they knew him of bld in' con
nectionxwlth Irish politics, and his opin
ion was valueless. But thecharge of per
sonal corruption was a different matter,
and the House ought to vindicate its own
honor. He moved that the House declare
the Globe's article to be a gross breach
of the privileges of the'House. ,
Mr. Balfour, the Government leader,
concurred. He said there could not be
the smallest doubt that a breach of
privileges of the gravest character had
been committed. He could not Imagine
an accusation more unjustifiable. At the
same time. In regard to the course to be
taken, he nad always held that the House
could not commit a greater folly than
to enter , Into a controversy with the
press.
Mr. Asquith, Liberal, and Mr. Healy,
Nationalist, supported Mr. Redmond,
whose motion was adopted unanimously.
Mr. Redmond next proposed the motion
that the editor and publisher of the
Globe be ordered to appear at the bar of
the House tomorrow afternoon. The mo
tion was carried unanimously.
The waning session of the House was
enlivened today by a vigorous tilt be
tween Sir William Vernon Harcourt, Lib
eral, and Mr. Chamberlain, the Colonial
Secretary, over Lord Kitchener's procla
mation. Sir William characterized it as
"a mischievous document, the inspiration
of neither Lord Kitchener nor Lord Mll
ner, but of the Ministry of Natal." He
declared the Government, in arming the
natives, was reverting to a practice
which had left the darkest stain on the
history of the war between England and
America. The new policy of the Govern
ment promised to be neither creditable
nor effective, and was in contravention
of all fundamental principles of the St.
Petersburg convention. The country
would welcome an ante-adjournment
statement on the status1 of the war, on
which they were still spending 5,000,000
a month, although it was declared ended
at the close, of last session.
Mr. Chamberlain "said' tihat the war
status was clearly indicated) by Lord
Kitohener's weekly reports. He himself
had gone out of the prophesying business,
but he assured the speaker that the gov
ernment's attltfude was the only method
of ending the war. The Colonial Secretary
declared that the use of native troops was
no new policy. It had been pursued with
out adverse criticism. The Indian troops
In China had been co-operating with the
troops of seven of the highest civilized
powers. Regarding the banishment of
burghers, Mr. Chamberlain said Great
Britain had a "perfect right to enact what
laws she chose for the government of a
country acquired by conquest." 'The
Boers must be taught that they can no
longer carry on a guerrilla war t no per
sonal risk, while Great Britain fed their
women and children. He compared the
conditions in South Africa to those exist
ing in the Philippines, and said the policy
of America, as declared by General Mac
Arthur's proclamation, would certainly be
the policy of Great Britain, If the cam
paign degenerates into a war of bandits.
Regarding the devastation policy, Mr.
Chamberlain said it was nothing com
pared with General Sherman's campaign.
He had talked with General Sherman him
self, and Sherman justified tints action on
the ground of humanity. Mr. Chamber
lain said also there was no foundation
for the report that General Kitchener
was coming home.
-Mr.-Asquith denied that there was any
question of international law Involved in
Lord Kitchener's proclamation.
"The people of those territories are, both
de jure and de facto, the King's subjects,"
he continued, "and the proclamation is a
warning on the lines of the option given
to the inhabitants of Alsace-Lorraine aC
the end of the Franco-German War. At
the same time, I hope the government will
not relax the military efforts to end the
war."
He said he had the utmost confidence in
Lord Mllner, while Lord Kitchener had
shown a combination of energy, zeal and
moderation that would entitle him to a
high place among the great soldiers of the
country.
Mr. Balfour, replying, declared that not
a horse nor a man would be .withdrawn
from South Africa unless t'he military
situation justified it, but that the gov
ernment had every reason to hope that
on the reassembling of Parliament next
year they would find warlike operations
in Soutfh Africa, practically over. In the
course of the debate Mr. Chamberlain de
nied that negotiations of any sort in the
Interest qf peace were proceeding.
Mr. Chamberlain informed Sir John Rol
leston, Conservative, that the customs
tarifr of the Transvaal and Orange River
Colonies had not' yet been taken in hand,
but there was no intention of adopting a
system of protection discriminating
against foreign gdods.
Replying to a question today regarding
the course of the Nicaragua Canal nego
tiations, Lord Cranbourne, the Under
Secretary of the Foreign Office, said that
unofficial communications were passing
between Washington and London through
Lord Pauncefote, but no formal reply had
yet been, received to Lord Lansdowne's
dispatch of February 22 of the present
year. -
The House sat until 5 A. M.-clearlng up
the final stages of various bills, in order
to enable prorogation tomorrow (Satur
day). FUNERAL OF CRISPI.
At Palermo There Was a Repetition
of the Scenes Witnessed at Naples.
PALERMO, Sicily, Augu 15. At the
funeral 'of SIgnor Francesco Crispl, at
Palermo today, there was a repetition
of the scenes of universal respect and
mourning witnessed yfesterday at Naples.
The Italian armored cruiser Vares, bear
ing the body, the members of the Crispl
family and representatives of the Gov
ernment, entered the harbor with the es
corting cruisers early In the afternoon
and fired 19 guns, the forts responding.
The coffin was landed In a small boat.
While the procession traversed the prln-
cipal streets the Vares fired minute guns.
The proces'aion was virtually identical
with that which followed the funeral car
at Naples, and the gathering of specta
tors was enormous. Many- flowers were
thrown from windows along the route to
the Church of Albergo dello Poverl, where
the coflin was placed.
Rain Interfered "With Bench ShoTV.
LONDON. Aug. 15. The almost pro
verbial fine weather that has -attended
the Ladles' Kennel Association shows
from the field held at Ranelagh in 1S95
has completely deserted the Harrogate fix
ture. The dog show opened on a gloomy
.morning, with threatened rain, which de
veloped Into a hopeless downpour, and
continued during the whole day. The
judging, which should have taken place
in the open field, In most cases had to
be gone through in hastily Improvised
rings in corners of tents, and for Gome of
the larger and hardier breeds, under drip
ping trees and in the muddy field.
In the rain and under a hope of Im
provement in the weather, the judging
was delayed far beyond the hour origi
nally fixed for its starting, and conse
quently cannot be finished before the sec
ond day of the show. Much regret was
expressed that the six entries of King
.Edward VII and Queen Alexandra were,
in consequence of the death of the Em
press Frederick, withdrawn.
Kitchener .Wants Indian Command.
NEW YORK, Aug. 15. The announce
ment made by -the Mail that General
Lytleton will succeed Lord Kitchener as
Commander-in-Chief of the British forces
In South Africa has, already been fore
shadowed, says the Tribune's London cor
respondent. General Kitchener is anxious
for an Indian command, and the date of
hie return is said to be fixed for about
the middle of September. His banish
ment proclamation will come into opera
tion September 15, and General Kitchen
er's movements will depend to a great
extent on the effect which it will have
fan the Boers now in the field. General
Kitchener has been now 19 months' in
South Africa, and he is believed to be In
need of rest. General Lytleton sailed with
Lord Mllner for Cape Town last Satur
day. Crolccr May Start Next Weelc.
NEW YORK, Ausr. 15 A dispatch
to
the Tribune from London says:
Mr. Crokef's closest associates adhere to
the statement that he will sail for New
York a week from Saturday, or Wednes
day or the .following week. He Is not
booked for the American liner of August
24, unless passage has been taken under
another name,- and it is probable that he
will sail by the Cunarder, reaching Ameri
ca August 31. This will be a week or a
fortnight earlier than he has assured
various politicians that he would assume
active direction of the Democratic cam
paign. Mr. Croker Is now fairly hunted
down by Interviewers, and finds delight
in misleading them and throwing them
off the right scent. ,

esty and decent administration an issue to
divide the people of a great state, but
to this deplorable necessity we have been
brought by the outrages of Republican
machine government.
"With incredulous amazement the peo
ple of our sister states turn their eyes
upon the spectacle presented by
our commonwealth. Every depart
ment of our state government Is
honeycombed with profligacy, dis
honesty and a reckless disregard of con
stitutional or moral obligations. The pow
ers of government arc prostituted to the
purpose of public thieves. Constitutional
restraints and commands, the sanctity of
law, the obligations of official oaths and
the demands of common honesty, are
thrust aside by the substitution of a high
er law the demands of an Insatiate greed
of plunderers for money, money, more
money. Shamelessly and openly the votes
of legislators are bought, and so persist
ently and constantly that market values
for legislators have been established by
settled custom.
"The apparent Indifference of our people
to these outrages emboldened the cor
ruptlonlsts to such an extent that the
last session of our Legislature out
Heroded Herod in Its infamies, ah men
pronounce it the most corrupt Legislative
body that ever convened In any state of
the Union. Its very organization was
founded on the purchases of venal legis
lators with money and place, and it closed
its session with the crowning Infamy of
that most stupendous franchise steal,
shocking the moral sense of the entire
country.
"The selection of a United States Sen
ator was accomplished In a carnival
of corruption and bribery. In the reck
less determination to punish enemies and
reward subservient tools, established mu
nicipal governments were ruthlessly
overturned and the chosen servants of
the people expelled from their offices to
make places for the creatures of a cor
rupt machine.
"The faith of the people In the sanc
tify of the judiciary was broken by its
halting efforts to find laudable excuse
for the crime. Foiled in its efforts to
rob the state of millions of dollars ot
valuable deposits, the Legislature pro
ceeded to that other and greater robbery
of the railway franchises of the state,
worth millions to the plunderers, and
stripping every city, town and township
in the commonwealth of the proper con
trol of Its streets for trolley Improve
ments. Even the public charities of the
state-lts hospitals and asylums, and the
comfort of their unfortunate inmates
were made the sport of political greed
and their appropriations measured and
determined by their use and services to
the machine.
"No possible field of corruption was left
uncultivated by the crew of public plun
derers who have seized upon our state,
plunderers who in the name of a great
party have prostituted all the purposes
and powers of government to their own
enrichment. For these crimes we indict
the Republican organization of Pennsyl
vania as it Is controlled now.
'Of the assistance of the unworthy
Democratic Legislators In these wrongs,
this convention declares its strongest
condemnation. They have betrayed their
constituents .inflicting lasting, irrepara
able injury on their party and proved
themselves unworthy of public confidence.
We leave to their Immediate constituents
the Infliction of political punishment.
"We cannot refrain at this time from
commending and thanking those Demo
cratic members of the Legislature who
stood manfully and faithfully by their
party against the perpetration, of their
wrongs.
VIn our effort to save our state trom
further dishonor we ask. all friends of
good government to join. "We make this
fight, not as a political organization seek
ing a partisan advantage, but in the Inter
est of all Pennsyivanlans, and will wel
come a closer union with all political or
ganizations honestly pledged to the same
purposes."
VIRGINIA DEMOCRATS.
Aside From Trust Issue, Platform
Deals With State Politics.
NORFOLK, Va., Aug. 15. The resolu
tions committee of the Democratic State
Convention, after being out 48 hours, pre
sented Us report at 6 o'clock tonight. The
platform deals largely with state itsues.
The first Blank reads:
"The Democrats of the State of Vir
ginia, In convention assembled, reaffirm
their allegiance and unfaltering devotion
to the National Democratic party, and
declare their admiration for its leaders
from Jefferson to Bryan, who have borne
the party standard in victory and defeat."
The trust plank follows:
"Wo declare unalterable opposition to
the criminal trusts and to every Illegal
combination of capital. We denounce
such trusts as a serious menace to pub
lic welfare, restricting the opportunities
and absorbing the substance of the peo
ple. They are the direct product of par
tial and unjust legislation and a reckless
multiplication of corporations without
suitable provisions for their control. The
rights of American free men must not be
sacrificed In the Interests of corporations
banded together for their destruction. We
arraign the Republican party for both
Its failure to enforce existing laws and
to enact laws against the trusts."
The concluding plank of the platform is
a declaration In favor of "the principle
of the selection of party candidates by
primary election, believing this to be the
surest method 8f arriving at the will of
the people and maintaining Democratic
Institutions. We accordingly direct the
state central committee to provide a pri
mary election for the choice of party
candidates for the United States Senate
and for all elected state officers, and for
the members of the House of Represent
atlvs of the United States, for members
of the General Assembly, and for county
and municipal officers, except where no
party nominations are made, and except
in the case of county and municipal offi
cers where for several reasons the
county officials shall deem it Inexpedient."
The ticket was completed by the nomi
nation of Major William Anderson, of
Rockbridge, for Attorney-General.
The convention adjourned tonight

WAITING ON ROCKHILL.
Until He Is Heard Prom Treaty Mat
ters Mast Rest.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 15. The State
Department Is awaiting a reply from Mr.
Rockhill as to the date of the signing of
the portocol, as the"olsposal of this sub
ject will pave the way to taking up the
qucstl6n of new commercial treaties with
China and facilitate other Important de
tails In execution of the protocol. Whether
the present treaty relations with China
are sufficient or an entirely new fabric
will be required depends considerably
upon the terms of the protocol. It is
said that this document will be for
warded by Mr. Rockhill, and not until it
is in hand will the authorities feel llKe
reaching a final determination as to the
scope of negotiations on such new com
mercial treaty relations as may becomo
desirable. The protocol itself appears to
contemplate the creation of an Interna
tional board to sit probably at Shanghai
and to have charge of certain details of
commercial relations between the powers
and China. But It Is expected that the
nowers will further consider the question
of forming this board before it is actually
brought into existence.
It Is probable ,that Mr. Hay will go
to Canton before he returns to his Sum
mer home at Newbury.
The American .Representative.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 15. The' appoint
ment of Mr. Sharritts, now a member of

Is now practically determined upon. In
case an International board is organized by
the powers, under the authority given by
the protocol, Mr. Sharritts will be the
American representative on the' board,
otherwise his services will be valuable
for such other plans of putting into effect
tho, new tariff systems of China as may be
adopted.
Preliminary Draft Signed.
PEKIN, Aug. lo. The Ministers of the
powers have signed the preliminary draft
of the protocol In order to bind their
Governments and to prevent further ex
changes. They expect to sign with the
Chinese plenipotentiaries next Tuesday.

Textile Workers Will Resist Attempt
to Reduce Wnges.
PALL RIVER, Mass.. Aug. 15. The de
termination of the textile workers In the
Fall River print cloth mills to strike if
the attempt to cut wages about 15 per
cent Is made, was voiced tonight at the
textile council session. The sentiment of
the council was crystalized in a motion
passed to recommend to each organiza
tion affiliated resistance to an attempt to
reduce wages, on the ground that the
proposition is unbusiness-Iike and unjus
tifiable In the present condition of the
cotton manufacturing Industry. Aside
from the textile council's action it was
also shown by the central labor union,
which met tonight, that even' organized
labor body In Fall River will act In union
with the operators.
