After a con tinuous session lasting: six hours, with several striking features, the Ohio Demo cratic Convention today named a state ticket to be voted on at the state election In November. The office of State Treasurer was the only one for which but one name was pre sented for consideration, eight contest ants lining up In the race for Governor, and two ballots being necessary for both that place and Supreme Judge. After the temporary officers were elect ed as the permanent officials of the con vention. Chairman Daugherty sprung a sensation by reading a communication from National Committeeman John It. McLean, who wrote from Washington of fering his resignation, which was at once accepted. Pattison's nomination came on the sec ond ballot, and bad been predicted by his managers In statements issued yesterday, and it was brought about, notwithstand ing the fact that the four counties having the most delegates in the convention were voting for other candidates. In the way of demonstrations, the great est came at the close of Chairman Daugh crty's speech, when an Impromptu tribute to William J. Bryan, as the party leader In the Nation, brought out a atorm of cheers that lasted fully a minute, and It was repeated later In the convention, when other speakers referred to the for mer National candidate of the party. Daugherty Attacks Republican Party M- A. Daugherty, -of Lancaster, was In troduced as temporary chairman by Chair man McKinney. . of .Marietta. He spoke In part as follows: The Democracy formulated Its demand for the extension of the powera of the Interstate Commerce Commission to regulate rates before the Republican party awoke to the Injustice and wrongs Inflicted upon the public by the carrying companies. The coalition between the Republican party and the earning com panies Is ro well known and of such long standing that there Is Justification far the conclusion that growing public sentiment has whipped that party into a pretense of activity only against Its own wllL It has been the hlsurlc position of the Democracy, a position now firmly held by It. that corporate power created by the state 10 subserve the public welfare Is always subject to the control of the Government, whose erea ture It Is. And the remedy of Democracy Is regulation, and not Governmental ownership, Against Government Ownership. Whenever Democracy shall cease to contend against the constant aggression of privilege. pressing on with its ever-tightening colls; whenever Democracy shall no longer marshal its legions In the defence of equal rights and shall haul down its flag In Inglorious surrender. then the day of Governmental ownership and the stagnation and decay of Socialism Is at hand. The last resort of the people against the oppression of privilege Is Government own ership. No man who knows the history, the teachings, the traditions and principles of the Democracy dare associate Its name with that of Socialism. Between Democracy and So cialism there Is no peace and no reconciliation. Socialism, like tariff, trusts, monopoly, rrtvl lege and corruption, comes trooping from the poisoned womb of Republican policies. Claims President as a Democrat. Surprise is expressed that a Democratic club in Chicago should have entertained the Pres ident. But Democrats know what Republicans dislike to bear, and If the President Is now being borne on the crest of the popular wave. It Is because it Is understood that be sanctions three significant planks in the Democratic platform and proposes to employ all the power of his Administration In mipervtalon of trans portation rates and the reduction of the tariff. each and all ef them Democratic to the cere: and to do this against the controlling Influ ences of his own party. Popular favor was never so showered upon President Reopcvelt as It Is when he 1 sewing the Democratic peed prepared for him by Democratic hands. The Democracy facet the future with hope. with courage and with coafldesce. Time and the progression ef events will vindicate its principles. Mr. Daugherty's speech was frequently applauded, and the mention of William J, Bryan aroused a storm of cheers, which was renewed at the end of the address. Mayor Tom L. Johnson brought up again the planks on which he was defeated last year, and today won by a vote of 11 to S on that declaring for taxation of railroads as other property is taxed, although he was defeated, S to 12. on the 2-cent rail road faro proposition. The temporary or ganization was made permanent, and the platform" was adopted as presented. It Is as follows: Declaration of Principles. The Democracy of Ohio. In convention as sembled, announces the following declarations of principles. We note with satisfaction the determination of the National Administration to purchase supplies for the Panama Canal In the markets of the world, and net to xay tribute to our protected monopolies. "We trurt that the day may coon come when the common people of this country may enjoy the same privilege, and not be compelled lo pay the manufacturers for the necessaries of life a higher price than these articles are sold for by the same manu facturers to foreign purchasens. We demand of our Representatives in Con greeo to aid in the enactment of such laws as will prevent all rebates and secret contracts by railways and will guarantee the same sen Ice to every cltlren. We favor conferring upon the Interstate Commerce Commission the power when it finds a rate unreasonable to fix a reasonable rate. War Promised Upon Graft. The Democratic part- pledges Itself In this state election, if mecessful. to use Its utmost endeavor to eliminate the graft and political corruption that has been neuriehed and fas tened upon the state by the Republican party In the last few years. We have seen the blighting effect of boss rule in one of our cities, and we call upon the voters. Irrespective of party, to unite In preventing Its permanent lodgment in control of our tate. We believe In free and unqualified home rule. Free from state Interference, each city, town and village should be allowed to deelde for. Itself all matters cf local policy, especially as between public or private ownership of ait public utllltlet. including street railways as wll a water works and lighting systems, and P RESIDE VT AND SECRETARY TAFT MEET AT CAMBRIDGE- Statement Regarding? the RealjgBatfosi of Engineer Wallace to Be Made Public Today.

The best au thorities agree that King Oscar's refusal to nominate a Prince of the House of Bernadotte for the Norwegian throne makes no change in Norway's constitu tional situation. According to the con stitution of May 17. 1S74. which Is still in force. Norway is even now a Kingdom, with its throne vacant, and hence King Oscar's declination has not decided the question as to whether the future govern ment of Norway will be under a republic or a monarchy. It is pointed out that if King Oscar persists in his refusal to nominate a member of bis house to the throne of Norway, that country ia free to confer the crown upon another Prince.

June 2S. Important changes which have been made In the naval regulations by the Bureau of Navi gation with the approval of the President and Secretary of the Navy were made public at the Navy Department today. In the revised regulations the general board of the Navy is given a prominent place by the Incorporation In the chapter of a paragraph giving the composition of the board and a section defining Its duties. The board Is to have a membership of seven, as at present, with the Admiral of the Navy at Its bead. The duties of the board as given are to devise numerous measures and plans for the effective preparation and mainten ance of the fleet for war. Also to advise the Secretary of the Navy as to Its dls position and distribution, and of the re inforcements of ships, officers and men of the Navy and marine corps; to prepare and submit to the Secretary plana of campaign, including co-operation with the Army, and the employment of all ele xnenta of naval defense, such plans to be constantly revlsd in accordance with the latest Information received. It Is to consider the number and types of ships proper to constitute the fleet, the number of officers and men required to roan them and to advise the Secretary as to estimates thereof to be submitted to Congress, as well as to the location, ca pacity and protection of coal depots, naval stations, reserves of ordnance and am munition and supply depots. It is also j required to co-ordinate the work bf the i naval war college, office of several In- J telligence and board of Inspection and sur vey, and to report on naval operations, maneuvers, tactics, training, and such other subjects as the Secretary may lay before it. The wearing of swords aboard ship on ordinary occasions has been practically abolished by the new wording of the regu lations respecting their use. a woven service revolver belt and revolver taking the place of the sword. It Is explained by the department that a sword Is an unhandy weapon under modern conditions on board ship or in boats, and It serves no useful purpose on occasions other than those of ceremony. The sword will bo worn, however, at ceremonies and at In fantry and artillery drills on shore. The regulations governing visitors going aboard vessels under construction have been revised so as to give such permis sion only to those known to the senior officer present as American cltlxens of good standing and repute. Visitors rep resenting foreign governments or known to be other than American citizens. It Is provided, shall not be permitted to go aboard such vessels except by permission of the Navy Department, and then shall be accompanied by a naval officer on duty at the works where the vessel Is building. The ships to which Captains may be or dered to command are limited to battle ships and armored cruisers, while com manders have had their duties afloat ex tended to the protected cruisers of the first rate and Lieutenants are made elig ible for the command . of destroyer or torpedo flotillas. Articles defining the rank and titles of officers of the line and staff of the Navy have undergone revision, and in a mem orandum Issued at the Navy Department noting the changes which have been made in the regulations this explanation Is made: "Up to the year 1S00 there was little or no trouble about titles of line and staff officers, but during the past four or five years much friction has been created by officers using titles which do not pertain to them or to their duties in the Navy. The amended regulations regarding titles are based upon statute law as interpreted by Attorneys-General." New provisions made In this connection require that "except when otherwise pro vided by law or regulation every com manding officer of the Navy when desig nated by title shall be given the title borne on the face of his commission that indicates his office." and that all officers of the Navy shall be addressed officially by the titles prescribed In the regula tions. The article gives the rank and titles of chiefs of bureaus, which has been recast, provides that an officer be low the rank of rear-admiral filling the office of chief of a bureau shall, while holding such office, have the rank and except as otherwise provided by law or regulation, the title of rear-admiral. It then prescribes that the chiefs of the bureaus of medicine and surgery. supplies and accounts, steam engineering and construction and repair, while holding these offices, shall have respectively the titles of surgeon-general, paymaster-gen era I, engineering chief and chief construc tor. A staff officer serving as chief of the bureau of docks and yards to retain bis title in the corps to which he belongs, and the Judge-advocate-general to have the rank and title of captain In the Navy or colonel In the marine corps. Officers retiring while serving as chiefs of bureaus or as judge-advocate-general retain the- rank and titles held while serving. Staff officers on the retired list have the titles appropriate to the corps I rem wnicn reurea. Short Visit In United States. SAN FRANCISCO. June 2S. Major General Leonard Wood left today for Boston.
