LONDON, July 21.--The latest clam
Orers among those connected with the
government service for special conces-
sions are the Wesleyans in the British
navy. OF late years it has happened
that large proportion of the men
recruited for the navy were of the Meth
odist faith, when they protested any
religious faith at all, and this element
has several times recently murmured
against the ministrations of the chap
lains Of the church of England to which
the rules Of the service subject them.
This discomfort has finally taken definite
shape, and the men, under recognized
leaders, are agitating for their own de-
services, which no doubt
they will ultimately get.

FIFTEEN CENTS A WEEK:
FaeTrlNe HIMSELF TO DEATH.
Coughlin, of Cronin Fame, Don't Stand
Confinement Well.

CHICAGO, July 2l.-1n an interview
Deputy Warden Messill, of the peniten-
tiary at Joliet said: Dan Coughlin is
the only one of the Cronin murderers
upon whom confinement seems to rest
heavily. He is fretting himself to
death. He is but a shadow of his
former self, and if new trial is not
granted him before long there will be a
funeral or a big sensation.
This statement was made to a re-
porter for The Times. whom the deputy
warden conducted through the prison.
1t was occasioned by the failure of the
reporter to recognize Coughlin, with
whom hs was well acquainted. Cough
Inns appearance was somewhat changed
by his convict clothes. The main
change, however, was in his face. His
cheeks were pale and sunken. The ex-
preston was careworn and melancholy
One would be impressed Instantly with
the thought that confinement had prac-
tically undermined his health and left
him little more than physical wreck.
He was industriously chiseling large
block of stone in one of the work rooms,
bending over it intently and refusing to
look up at the visitors.
1T is all worry" continued the depu-
ty warden. HE seems to have some
thing on his mind continually. He is
industrious and willing and evidently
tries to be cheerful, but he does not bear
confinement as most of the other pris-
oners do. Of course he has more to
worry over than O'Sullivan and Burke.
He has his wife and child, who come
to see him as often as the rules of the
prison allow. 1t may be mere anxiety
for their welfare that is breaking him
down, but | am inclined to question
that. At any rate there have been but
few prisoners here in whose appearance
there has been such a change in 50 short
time"
"You spoke Of a possible sensation"
Yes. ! have watched Coughlin pret-
ty closely and have formed a decided
opinion. know that he has built great
hopes on having new trial and that it
will be terrible blow to him if he does
not get it. believe he is brooding over
the fact that he and his two companions
are suffering punishment for crime in
which they were doubtless implicated,
but in which they were, after all, subor-
dinates. The inroads made on his
health l am satisfied are due wholly to
mental trouble. There is 40 other as
signable cause, and l am inclined to
think that it would not take a great
deal to induce him to break down and
tell all he knows of the murder. The
decisive moment will be when it is
known definitely whether OF not new
trial will be granted"

ST. JOHN, N. b., July 81. - Two
Gloucester fishermen arrived here Fri
day, and will be sent home by United
States Consul Samuelson. Their story
is interesting. They were fishing on
shares in the Gloucester schooner Lizzie
w. Harmon, Capt. Lewis, which had
been seining mackerel in the vicinity of
Bay Chaleur, having fair luck. On
Tuesday last they put into Gaspe. when
the captain sent seines ashore to be
mended.
The Canadian cruiser S.anley APP
peared about midnight, and the seines
were not brought on board till morning.
The Harmon was suspected by the Stan
ley, and was spoken by the cruiser
when entering Bay Chaleur. The boats
of the Gloucester lnen were then little
distance away. The nets were sunk by
the fishermen. and when the cruiser ap-
preached, the men were only rowing
about. The next day preparations We're
made by the fishermen to 60 on trip,

mending their nets, and though they

GERMANY IN AFRICA.
Pointers From Lieut.. Gravenreuth ON the
Subject.

Subject.
LONDON, July 21.--Lieut Baron Won
Gravenreuth, acting German imperial
commissioner in Africa has been inter-
viewed at considerable length on the
future Of Germany in Africa and the
effect Of a British protectorate over Fan
zibar. He thinks that Tanga and Lihdi
would make excellent harbors and could
be so converted at comparatively small
outlay. 1t would be difficult, however,
he believes, to transfer the commercial
center of Southeast Africa from Zanxi-
bar to any other town, and in this fact
lies the chief objection to England's ex-
elusive control of Zanzibar. From the
tone Of his remarks, however, it is rea-
sonable to infer that an attempt will be
made to divert the commerce Of Zanzi-
bar i'll the near future.

In the Palmetto State.
NASHVILLE, July 21.-At 5 p. IN. Fri
day Baxter withdrew from the guher-
material race in the Democratic conven-
ton, and John P, Buchanan, a farmer.
who is president of the Farmers and
Laborers' union. was nominated on the
twenty sixth ballot, and at the end of a
four days fight in convention.
Great Dissatisfaction.
There is great dissatisfaction over the
result, as the party managers feel that
the party Of the state has been delivered
over to the alliance. Much bitterness
was aroused during the heated fight
made by the friends of the four candi-
dates-Buchanan, Patterson, Baxter and
Taylor.
Governor Bob" Taylor does not con-
ceal his disgust, and is of the opinion
that in the future Tennessee Democrats
will have their hands full to heal over
the wounds made in the Democratic
party by the inroads of the alliance.
Reports come in from all over the state
to the effect that great dissatisfaction
exists among Democrats,
Buchanan's support by the farmers
gave him such hold upon tho nomina-
ZION that it was impossible to make
nomination without his strength, which
he gave out that he would hold until
the end.
A third of the delegates in the con-
vention favored adjournment without
nomination, but the bitterness between
Baxter and Patterson caused the
former to withdraw in favor of Buch-
anan. Many Democrats openly stated
in the convention and in the hotel lob
bies that they would not support Buch-
anan.
BuchRnan's Career.
John P. Buchanan, the Democratic
nominee for governor in Tennessee, was
born in Williams county, Tenn, Oct. 4,
1947. He joined the Confederate army
at the age of 16. fought for two years
and surrendered with the army on May
II. 1855.
He is robust farmer, and is noted
for his energy and activity, He edus
Gated himself by study at home. In 1886
he was elected to the legislature from
Rutherford county, and became the
leader i'll that body of the agricultural
and laboring interests. He was re-elect-
ed to the legislature.
He is Of Scotch Irish descent, and is a
first cousin of President Buchanan, at
the end Of whose term of Office began the
civil war. While his family name has
been connected with history, it has of
late years been somewhat obscure from
politics and business,
E. J. Lee was nominated for judge Of
the supreme court.
