BROOKLYN. HEN CAUCUS
Tammany Now Alone Opposes
the Judge.
PEACE RUMORS IN THE AIR
Murphy Will Support Jurist for
President If Hill Will Be for
McClellan for Gover
nor in 1908.
NEW YORK, April 12. (Special.) Del
jgates to the National Convention will be
formally Instructed for Judge Alton B.
Parker and ordered to vote as a unit for
him.
Tonight Brooklyn's 63 delegates, whose
attitude has been In doubt, met and for
mally pledged themselves to Parker
William Boyle, Tammany's Brooklyn dep
uty, entered the caucus bound with oth
ers. This leaves Tammany practically
alone In opposition.
There is a report afloat that at Fri
day's primaries, Tammany will withdraw
Its opposition and a resolution f indorse
ment will be adopted by the State Con
vention at Albany next Tuesday by a
unanimous vote.
The growing strength of the Hearst
boom has alarmed the corporation lead
ers, who .have been consulting Murphy
this week. It Is reported tonight that he
has made a truce with Hill. Tammany
will support Parker for President, and
Hill will support Mayor McClellan, Tam
manyites' gubernatorial candidate, with
the understanding that McClellan is to
have New York's solid support in 190S for
President Color Is lent to the story by
the sudden collapse of the Brooklyn fight.
Tammany absolutely controlled Doyle.
His surrender looks suspicious.
The unanimous indorsement of New
York greatly advances -le Parker stock.
The Hearst people are downcast, and ad-
mlt the chances of their candidate are
badly damaged.
HEARST IS ROUTED
OIney Carries Massachusetts Pri
maries by Large Majority.
BOSTON, April 12. The supporters of
Richard Omey, of Boston, a candidate for

figures Include the City of Boston, which
elected 235 OIney men out of a delegation
of 239.
Hearst Carries New Haven.

POPULISTS SPLIT dN FUSION.
Kansas Party Hopes for Peace by
the Time the Democrats Meet.
TOPEKA, Kan., April 12. The Populist
State Convention met here today and ad
journed without making any nominations.
They will meet In Topeka again on Aug
ust $ at which time an effort will be made
to fuse with the Democrats. A state con
vention of the Democrats will be held on
the same date. The Mlddle-of-the-Road-ers
strongly insisted on nominating a
state ticket without reference to anything
the Democrats wanted. The other ele
ment tried to patch up a deal to nominate
two Supreme Court Justices, Governor and
one or two other state officers, have these
indorsed by the Democrats at their con
vention next August and then permit the
Democrats to name the remainder of the
ticket Adherents of this scheme were
in the majority, but the opposition threat
ened to bolt and nominate a straight
Populist ticket In case such an arrange
ment was to be made, and this killed it
An effort will be made to adjust matters
with the Democrats before the time of
holding the next convention. The Mlddle-of-the-Road
Populists are still outspoken
In their determination to bolt if the fu
sion plan is persisted in.
About the only thing both elements
agreed to was the resolutons. These re
affirm allegiance to the last National plat
form, condemn the Republican record In
state and National affairs, and. demand
the repeal of the state anti-fusion law.
William R. Hearst Is indorsed.

FAIR OFFICIALS ORGANIZE.
Commissioners to St. Louis Thus
Plan to Settle Future Disputes.
ST. LOUIS, Mo., April 12. (Special.)
World's Fair Commissioners from 22
states, Including Oregonf met hero today
and organized the Louisiana Purchase
Exposition Commissioners' Association.
The primary object will bo to settle futuro
disputes of commissioners with Exposition
officials.
Charles Reeves, chief of the department
of domestic exploitation, speaking for the
Exposition officials, declared his asso
ciates would welcome any purely social
organization that the commissioners
might form, but positively would decline
to deal with any commissioners except
as individuals. A. Y. Ford, of Kentucky,
moved, that the organization be made
purely a social one, but this motion was
lost, and Chairman H. M. Dunlap, of
Illinois, appointed committees on organ
ization, constitution and by-laws. The
latter committee is composed of Messrs.
Edward B. Marchand, of Oklahoma;
George N. Kingsbury, of Philadelphia,
and Paul Wilson, of Colorado. The former
of Messrs. Carpenter, of Kansas; A. H.
Winchester, of West Virgina; G. Y.
Harry, of Oregon, and R. B. Hughes, of
Kentucky.
After a recess the meeting heard the
report of the committee on constitution
and by-laws, adopting tho name hereto
fore mentioned, and declaring the object
to be the promotion of the "social and
other interests" of the commissions. Tho
"other interests" include the relations
with tho Exposition Company. Permanent
officers were selected as follows:
President H. M. Dunlap, Illinois; first
vice-president E. B. Marchand, Okla
homa; second vice-president W. F.
Sperry, Colorado; secretary, T. W. Milan,
Arkansas; assistant secretary, A. H. Win
chester, West Virgina; treasurer, G. N.
Kingsbury, Rhode Island.
PRESIDENT "v7AITS 01TKN02U
With the Cabinet He Again Goes
Over Chinese Exclusion Matter.
WASHINGTON, April 12. Chinese ex
clusion and the probable necessity for leg
islative or executive action, in view of the
denunciation by China of tho existing
treaty, was again today the principal topic
of discussion at the meeting of the Cabi
net The President and his advisers con
sidered the subject in all its phases, but
reached no definite conclusion, chiefly per
haps because Attorney-General Knox has
not been able yet to prepare his opinion
as to the legal status of tho matter. As
soon as tho Attorney-Ceneral shall have!
aeciaea wneiner,m xus opinion, existing
legislation relative to tho exclusion of Chi
nese will be valid on the expiration of the
treaty with China, some decisive steps will'
be taken. If it should- bo determined that
the legislation will lapse with tho treaty,
then Congress will provide against a gen
eral Chinese immijrratlon by the inser-f
tlon in a pending appropriation bill of an J
amendment covering the subject
It seems probable from the tone of the
discussion of tho Cabinet meeting that an
other treaty will bo
negotiatcd between
the United States and China. While
tho9
present treaty will bo taken as a basl3
for me negotiations, it is probable that
some of tho restrictions placed, upon the
Immigration of Chinese may ba modified
as to merchants and the higher class of
Chinese. Coolie laborers and other classes
of Chinese laborers will be excluded as
rigorously as they are by the existing
laws. "

the Russian authorities during the stay
of the British gunboat at Niu Chwang.
Tho detention of the Esnlegle after the
timo originally eet for he'r departure Is
understood to Indicate the unqualified ac
ceptance by Great Britain of the estab
lishment by the Russians of martial law
at Nlu Chwang, her agreement to the
plan for the protection of British Interests
bere durliur the war, and the final resto-
I ration of treaty rights. The departure of
tho Esplegle removes a cause of embar
rassment to the Russian authorities and
.enables them to put into execution a sys
tem of martial law consistent with the
demands of tho situation. She was tho

United States gunboat Helena having left

The last of the merchant steamers left
Nlu Chwang today, and the shipping com-

is expected that henceforward commerce
will be practically at a standstill. The
