STRIP FOR FIGHT
Bitter Contest Between Bryan
and Sullivan Factions
at Peoria.
MACHINE SURE OF VICTORY
While Republicans Indorse Cannon,
Who Will Be Absent, Democrats
Will Struggle, but Rowdies
Will Be Excluded.
CHICAGO, Aug. 18. (Special.) Re
publicans and Democrats begin their bi
ennial pilgrimages to the state conven
tions Monday with respective Meccas at
Springfield and Peoria. Five state offi
cers are to be nominated by each party,
but the tickets this year are thrown into
the shadow by the presence of more im
portant features.
A new alignment, that will bring near
ly every faction in the state into the
Deneen organization camp, an indorse
ment of Senator Cullom In testimony of
hia victory at the primaries, a possibility
of a collision with the Cannon boom
these things are expected to give the
Republican, meeting Its greatest interest.
With the Democrats there is the Bryan
Sullivan controversy over the National
Commltteemanshlp, which has engen
dered bitterness enough to make the con
vention exciting if not sensational.
"Uncle Joe" Will Be Absent.
Two familiar figures will be missing
from the Springfield convention. For the
first time In a decade, "Uncle Joe" Can
non and Lieutenant-Governor Lawrence
Y. Sherman will not attend the biennial
reunion of the Republican party. The
Speaker passed through Chicago today
on his way to Washington. On account
of his Presidential candidacy, delicacy
prompted him to absent himself. Sher
man, whose lank, lean figure has been
a human exclamation point on many a
convention floor. Is out West. Two con
tests over places on the state ticket may
bring a touch of contention into the Republican-
gathering. Otherwise it will be
orderly as a camp-meeting.
Democrats Will Fight Fiercely.
When Chairman Charles Beeschensteln
calls the state Democracy to order in
the Coliseum at Peoria Tuesday noon,
the convention may possibly resolve It
self into a gladiatorial contest. The
Bryan-Sullivan feud will furnish the op
portunity and, as to the spirit, the Dem
ocrats are always willing. Reports re
ceived at the headquarters here indicate
that the present machine will have an
overwhelming majority.
The Bryan Indorsement Is not expected
to be among the bones of contention, as
the Sullivan organization will make no
attempt to fight It, according to th$ lead
ers. What disturbance may arise is ex
pected to come from the Majority Rule
League quarter In the shape of resolu
tions inviting Roger C. Sullivan to bow
to the edict of the Prophet of the Platte
and to get off the National Committee.
Rowdies Not Admitted.
The controversy was slumbering nicely
today, when Theodore Nelson, secretary
of the Majority Rule League, rudely
awoke It by Issuing an official "proclama
tion." It decries the claim of the Sulli
van men that they will have more than
1000 of the 1459 delegates. The proclama
tion says the Sullivan claim is "Idiotic."
Most of the delegates will assemble in
Peoria Monday night, the Chicago delega
tion of 493 leaving here at noon. This
time, according to Boeschensteln, there
will be none of the rowdies and riff-raff
that gave color to the last convention.
The butchers and prizefighters from the
stockyards, the porch-climbers and ex
convicts from the "Little Hell" district
on the North Side the toughs from the
West Side barrel houses, will all be miss
ing. John F. O'Malley and others who
brought along the army of the unem
ployed two years ago volunteered to re
peat this time, but their advances were
rejected.
Socialists Meet Tuesday.
The Socialists will hold their state con
vention at Brand's Hall In this city at
11 o'olock Tuesday morning. In accord
ance with the custom of the party, no
candidates are up, and it will be for the
delegates to pick them, as no names were
on the primary ballots.

dent Reyes today Issued a decree declar
ing Diego Mendoza, ex-Mlnlster of Co

MONARCHS AGREE ON POLICY
Anglo-German Relations Improved
by Frledrlchsbof Conference.
BERLIN, Aug. 18. Great satisfaction
prevails at the Foreign Office over the
results of the meeting at Frledrlchshof
between King Edward and Emperor
William. The latter has expressed him
self as being highly satisfied with the
outcome of his personal conferences with
the King.
The discussions between the monarchs
la the presenoe of their diplomatic rep
resentatives covered many important
questions of interest to both countries,
without aiming at reaching a specltto
arrangement, but with a view to coming
to a satisfactory understanding respect
ing the policies pursued by the two coun
tries. This was accomplished in the
main and the Foreign Office expects to
see the improvement in the relations be
tween them continue.
REVOLUTION BEGINS AGAIN
Dominican Rebels Capture and
Plunder Town and Produce Riots.
CAPB HATTIEN, Aug. 18. A serious
revolution, according to advices received
here by courier today, has broken out In
Santo Domingo. Revolutionary bands, un
der command of General Navarro, are
said to have landed near Riviere and to
have attacked and captured Dajabon,
which was pillaged and abandoned after
20 persons had been killed.
The revolutionists are now said to be
near Guayabln, and to be marching on
to Monte Christi. The arrival of Gen
eral Desoamps is anxiously awaited by
the revolutionists. It is understood that
he will assume command of the-foroaa.
and operate against the government in
favor of former President Jlmlnez.
A state of anarchy prevails in the
northern part of Santo Domingo. All
commerce with the Interior has been
stopped and trafflo In the northern dis
tricts has been prohibited.
YERKES' FIGURES ALL WRONG
Electric Underground Railroads In
London Lose Money.
LONDON, Aug. 18. (Special.) The
new English management of the late
Terkes great schema of railway elec
trification in London now maintains
that the American financier was all
wrong In his calculation methods. One
of the leading officials said today:
"Mr. Yerkes believed electricity to be
cheaper than steam, but this year's ex
perience with the underground and dis
trict lines that have been electrified has
proved him to be wrong. Short eleo
tiio trains are cheaper than steam, but
when long trains are run the power
required makes them more costly. We
have long trains and, as the result of
calculations, we are now obliged to
raise the fare. We carry 60,000,000 pas
sengers a year, but we cannot go on
doing it at a yearly Iobs of J250.000.
"Mr. Terkes believed that by eleo-,
trlflcatlon we should double the traf
fic The Increase does not turn out to
be at all enormous, although It is con
siderable. While the capacity of the
line has been doubled by electricity, ws
are now suffering through passengers
taking advantage of the reduced fares,
whloh were originally Intended for the
working people."
BISHOPS TRY TO AVERT STRIFE
Will Take No Action Till Separation
Law Is Effective.
BORDEAUX, Aug. 18 Mgr. Lecot, the
cardinal and archbishop of Bordeaux,
made a statement yesterday, which may
be taken as indicating the present atti
tude of the French archbishops and
bishops on the separation law. In this
statement the cardinal says the bishops
will take no action before December 8.
on which date the separation law be
comes operative, but will await action
by the French government. Cardinal
Lecot's statement Is construed as Indi
cating that the bishops by maintaining
a firm attitude and at the same time
Btriving to allay among their people the
feeling of hostility to the separation, hope
to Induce the government to concede
something rather than see the country
plunged into religious strife.
Flock of Blazing Storks.
BERLIN, Aug IS. Villagers of Kahl
wehlen saw eight balls of fire descend
ing from the sky, and rushed to the
straw-thatched roofs .of their homes to
prevent their catching fire. The fire balls
proved to be storks with their feathers
aflame. They were prevented from alight
ing In the Kahlwehlen, and continued
their flight. It appears that a bolt of
lightning struck a stork's nest and set
It and Its occupants alight. The nest
has been found, charred and with two
dead storks beside it.
Greece Will Appeal to Edward.
LONDON, Aug. 18. The Daily Mail's

He said the Englishmen were greatly
Interested in Bryan, and flocked to
bear the Nebrakan at every oppor

Strike Threatened in Federal
Printing Office.
TOO MUCH WORK REQUIRED
Bookbinder Suspended for Standing
by Union Rales, and Whole Force
May Strike If Action oi"
Official Is Sustained.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 18. Union book
binders in the Government Printing-Office
threatened a strike today on account of
the action of Harry Ashion, acting fore
man of binding. In suspending A. J. Tan
ner, a. union binder, because he did not
perform an extra amount of work pre
scribed byshion, which union men de
clare to be in excess of the maximum
amount permitted under the regulations
of the union. President J. Li. Feeney, of
the Bookbinders' Union, gave notice that
he would make an Issue of Tanner's sus
pension and demand a conference with
Publlo Printer StllUngs on Monday.
Union men say Ashion set out to bring
the Printing Office and the union regula
tions Into conflict. Three years ago Ash
ion caused the dismissal of W. A. Miller,
assistant foreman of printing, the discus
sion of which caused President Roosevelt
Uto declare the Printing Office an open
shop.
There are about 2800 employes of the
Government Printing Office, and It is said
that 99 per cent of these are organized.
WILL EXTEND ALASKA CABLE
Government Business Requires Du
plex System and Branch South.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 18. Commercial
receipts from the Alaskan cable and tele
graph lines amounted to 24,000 in July,
which is $2000 in excess of the amount
collected by the United etates In any pre
vious month. The official dispatches sent
during the month would have cost $12,000
had they been paid for at the commercial
rates. This rapid increase in the demands
upon the Alaskan cable and telegraph sys
tem will be met by the Government by
the duplexing of the- cables.
The cableshlp Burnside, which Is to in
stall the duplexing apparatus at the Alas
kan end of the oable, will probably leave
Seattle about September 15. It will carry
200 miles of new cable, which has just
been shipped from New York for the ex
tension of the cable service south of
Ketchikan. This extension will be effect
ed by tapping the line from Sitka to Ju
neau at Cape Fanshaw. From that point
a branch line will be extended down to
Wrangel, then to Hadley, .on Prince of
Wales' Island, and then to Ketchikan,
which is only 60 miles, from Port Simp
son, the English town which Is to be the
terminus of the Grand Trunk Pacific Rail
way. It Is believed that this additional 200
miles of cable will result in a great In
crease In cable receipts, as the Federal
system taps a country which is rich In
mines and fisheries and already has many
large canning factories, which stand
greatly In need of daily communication
with the United- States. In case the ca
ble ship does not encounter bad weather,
the line will probably be completed be
fore November 1. Captain Henry W.
Stamford, of the Signal Corps, will direct
the laying of the new line.
SMUGGLED THROUGH MEXICO
Diseased Syrian Peddlers Enter
America by Side Door.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 18. Discovery has
been made by James R. Dunn, Immigra
tion Inspector In charge at St. Louis, of a
wholesale smuggling of Immigrants from
Mexico into the United States. Every one
of the immigrants was barred by the law
from entering the United States because
of trachoma, a contagious disease of the
eyes. Officials of the Immigration Serv
ice are now engaged In locating the im
migrants .who were smuggled Into the
country, with a view to their deportation.
The case is interesting and extraordi
nary. A party of 60 Syrians applied for
passage to the United States at Naples,
Italy. Every, one of them was found to
be afflicted with trachoma, and the steam
ship company refused to accept them for
passage to this country. They were in
formed that they could go to Mexico and
then "work their way" into the United
States. On their arrival in Mexico they
scattered over the country for a while,
but eventually reached the border near
Laredo, Tex., and were smuggled aeross
the river above that town. The smug
glers received $12 a head.
The Syrians were peddlers and began
Immediately to ply their vocations In this
country, going from place to place, thus
becoming separated. Mr. Dunn located a
Syrian in St. Louis named Shadle Jacob,
who, he believed, was unlawfully in the
country- When he examined Jacob, the
man told a story about having been land
ed at Philadelphia, but a little Investiga
tion showed that that statement was un
true. Confronted with the proof that he
had not told the truth, Jacob broke down
and told how he and his Syrian friends
had been smuggled across the Mexican
border. Jacob gave to Mr. "Dunn all of
the names of the party he could remem
ber, and officers of the Immigration Serv
ice are now searching; for them. Jacob is
being held for a time to assist In Iden
tifying the other Syrians.
MAT ABOLISH CONTRACT WORK
Inquiry Promises to Reveal Immense )
Profits on Reclamation.
WASHINGTON, Aug. . 18. (Special.)
Recent failures of contractors on the
Shoshone and other Irrigation plans, fol
lowed by the Government's confiscation
of their outfits, may lead to a complete
reorganization of the methods of con
ducting reclamation works. The Interior
Department is making a thorough Inves
tigation of the methods of various con
tractors, which is said to promise some
remarkable revelations.
Great profits have been made by some
contractors. The apparent Impossibility
of getting work done by contract unless
an Immense profit Is assured is causing
officials to consider seriously the desir
ability of quitting the whole contract
system and doing the work directly, as
the Panama Canal is being built
Sultan to Recognize Lelshman.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 18. John G. A.
Lelshman, the recently appointed Ameri
can Ambassador to Turkey, has been re
ceived cordially by the Turkish Minister
of Foreign Affairs, and there is no dispo
sition of the Turkish government not to
recognise him as an Ambassador, accord
ing to dispatches received from Lelshman.
Japanese Seal-Poachers' Tricks.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 18. A pair of
surf-boat oarlocks was received today at
the Department of Commerce and Labor.
The oarlocks were taken from a boat
used by the Japanese poachers who were
recently captured on St. Paul Island
while killing American seals. To main-
tain the secrecy of their expedition the
locks were carefully muffled, They were
wrapped with platted , twine, which had
been greased to make them noiseless.
Five boatsi more than 100 sealskins and a
sealsklnning apparatus were also captured.

LEAVENWORTH, Kan.. Aug. 18. In
passing on an application to dismiss an
injunction suit here today. Judge J. H.
Gtllpatrick, of the District Court, held

ber of a labor union was coercion and

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo., Aug. 18.
With a morning session today the 62d
annual convention of the International
Typographical Union came to a close.

this purpose from $60,000 to $90,000 pet
year. After "providing for maintenance
of the home, the surplus fund will be

favor of Government ownership of the
telegraph and instructed its delegates to
use their Influence to elect Congressmen
favoring such ownership.

WILLOWS, Cal., .Aug. 18. (Special.)
HUnters and cattlemen have discov

the mountains along Eel River and in

CIRCULAR TO HIS FRIENDS
Says Renovation of Iowa Republican
Party Is "Worth More Than Few
Congressmen He Waves
Standpat Banner.
DES MOINES, Ja., Aug. 18. (Special.)
"Baptizing and renovating the Repub
lican party of Iowa is of more impor
tance than all the Congressmen com
bined.. This is an off year, and with a
Republican President who can veto all
bad laws and who has enacted into laws
all pressing legislation, the danger re
sulting from the election of a few Demo
cratic Congressmen at this time is re
duced to a minimum. O Death, where
is thy sting? O grave, where is thy vic
tory? In resurrection there is a new and
better life. So let it come, for there is
nothing at stake except the oil inspec
tors and Janitors."
Means Bolt Against Cummins.
This Is an excerpt from a circular let
ter which has been addressed by C. W.
Johnston, one of the managers of George
Perkins, who was recently defeated for
the Republican gubernatorial nomination
by Governor CumminB, to "our Republi
can friends.' By "friends" Is meant the
men who rallied to Perkins support and
opposed the revision sentiment which
Cummins stood for before he accepted a
humiliating compromise- In the shape of
a "stand pat" tariff plank In the plat
form. in other words, a movement is now on
foot among the Republican opponents of
Cummins to compass his defeat for re
election and cause the election of Claude
R. Porter of Canterville, the Democratio
candidate. The Democrats are elated,
while In the Cummins camp there is
alarm and dismay, Johnston's trumpet
call to Insurrection also says:
Getting Even With Congressmen.
"On behalf of the 'stand patters' we
desire to recall some facts and conditions
connected with the termination of the
late Republican State Convention. Mr.
Perkins was assured of the support of
certain Congressmen, otherwise he would
not have been a candidate. The fight
was made and the victory rested on the
disposition of Scott County; If given to
Perkins, he would have been nominated.
"Politically it belonged to Mr. Per
kins and would have been so decided
were it not for the Interference of Sena
tor -Dolliver, Representatives Byrdsalh
Conner and others.
His Appeal to Farmers.
"It Is up to the farmers to say whether
they want their agent, Cummins, In their
name, to go out preaching Canadian
reciprocity In corn, wheat, oats, cattle,
sheep, etc., and disturbance and a reduc
tion of values by a revision of the tariff,
when all these products have not been
so high since the Civil War and the
Iowa farm is a gold mine."
STILL HUNGRY TO BUY
BOOM IS HARKIMAN STOCKS CON
TINUES ON EXCHANGE.
Prices Go Up by Jumps and London
Brokers Growl at Being Left
Id the Colo.
NEW TORK, Aug. 18. Yesterday's
wild scenes on the Stock- Exchango
were repeated today. The galleries were
filled with spectators attracted by the
reports of yesterday's excitement and
the electrifying effect of the announce
ment of the devldends declared on
Union Pacific and Southern Paciflo
stocks. These two stocks continued to
make sensational fluctuations.
The whole market was affected in
sympathy. Prices advanced buoyantly
from 1 to 3 points on a buying demand
such as had not been witnessed in the
stock market since the bull period of
April, 1901. Brokers apparently had or
ders to buy unlimited amounts of Union
Pacific and southern Pacific and blocks
of thousands and even of tens of thou
sands of shares were taken at the
market at any prloe demanded by the
sellers.
Pennsylvania was second only to
the Pacifies in activity and buoyancy.
During the second hour Reading came
into prominence and was rushed up
over four points on an almost unlimit
ed buying movement. Heavy profit-taking
by room traders made prices fluc
tuate constantly, but the enormous
buying continued undiminished up to
the closing.
LONDON BROKERS GET LEFT
British Journal Squeals Because
Harriman Did Not Give Tip.'
LONDON, Aug. 18. (Special.) The
Harriman deal In Wall street has cre
ated enormous Interest and not a little
strong feeling here. Owing to the Stock
Exchange being closed today as a holi
day, there was no open professional
market, but many operators came to
London from the country to get the lat
est news and advices from their New
York agents as to their course of ac
tion. The Westminster Gazette says:
"Fortunately for the British specu
lators, the mad excitement over the
Union Pacific and Southern Pacific does
not affect them in the same degree as
the unscrupulous manner in which the
Harriman interests cornered a large
number of people in America. The coup
has been beautifully brought off by
those having inside knowledge, whose
profits are calculated at $33,000,000.
Though London escaped a heavy loss, It
Is likely that European speculators
generally have been badly hit. But the
fact seems that this dividend policy Is
another bold stroke of the sort for
which American finance has an un
pleasant notoriety."
DIRECTORS EXPLAIN DELAY
Tell Why Union, Paciflo Dividends

NEW YORK, Aug. 'l A statement was

statement follows:
"The board of directors of the Union
Paciflo and Southern Pacific met Wednes

mittees, however, did not meet 'until
P. M. on,vThursday, and final notice of
the declaration of the dividends was de
livered to the secretary of the Stock Ex
change before 10 A. M. Friday."

the committee In not announcing the div
idend action after their meeting on
Thursday. He eald that this would have
given an advantage to the London stock
market by giving it the first benefit of
the news, and that it was considered fair
to save this advantage for the New York

nouncement until Friday morning.
RACE. WAR IN DELAWARE

Work In Peach Orchard.

from Maryland and Virginia, a riot Is
brewing and every strange negro is being
run out of town. The trouble started
over a strange negro striking a white boy.

into a small army and began running
down and beating negroes. John Walker
was caught and beaten Into insensibility;
Joseph Selby, another negro, was knocked
down with a plank and kicked Into, the
street, and the lockup Is filled and a
temporary jail has been provided to lock
