VIII Go as Delegates Large -
Some Clever Political Szirmishfnc
Which Took the Plum Out OF NJ. NJ.
EStee's Hands
Special to the RECoRD-UNIoN


STOCKTON, May 4-When the Republi-
can State Convention met at II o'clock
this morning it was apparent that there
was determination to get down to work
and finish up the business of the conyen-
ton to-day.
Most OF the Congressional Districts had
decided upon the men to represent them
IN the National Convention. but the great
battle for delegates-at-lar was about TO
be fought. The main interest centered in
the candidacy of NJ. II. De Young. A
bitter fight had been made against him,
but his friends had done great work since
the adjournment last night. At that time
De Young lacked a gOodly number of
votes to secure his election and when the
convention assembled it was still in
doubt, though his friends were confident.
In placing him in nomination, George
knight made the mistake of saying that
De Young did not threaten the conven-
uon," and saying 1t in a way which was
taken as a direct threat. The speech
made De 1oung's friends shiver, but
their spirits rose again when they heard
the ringing speech delivered by Grove l..
Johnson, i'll seconding the nomination of
De Young. 1t was by all odds the great
est speech of the convention and when
the Sacramento orator sat down every
body felt satisfied that De Young would
be one of the four delegates at-large, and
the result proved that they were correct.
Some very pretty work was done in the
voting on this contest.

A Socialist Member Suspended for a
Week.
LONDON, May Am the Commons to-
day, while Herbert Asquith was speak
ing on the Holdanes land bill, he de-
clared that the land differed from consols
or commercial enterprise. He was in
terrupted by Cunningham Z. Grahame, a
socialist, who asked:
''How about swindling shareholders in
the company"
Amid cries of order, Grahame shouted:
''This is swindling speech"
Confusion ensued in the House, and
the Speaker called Grahame to order.
The latter refused to be silent, and the
Speaker "named' him. The action was
greeted with cheers, and Grahame re-
torted, ''All right, ann named for stand
ing up for socialism,
This caused renewed confusion, and
Home Secretary Matthews moved that
Grahame be suspended. The motion was
seconded and adopted without dissent
ing vote, the suspension being for one
week.
When Grahame left the House the con-
fusion subsidized, and the bill was put to
a vote, but rejected by vote of 223 to
146.

RELIGIOUS GATHERINGS.
Proceedings Of the Methodist Confer

elCS uC Omaha.
OMAHA, May 4.-Bishop Warren pre-
sided at the morning session Of the
Methodist Conference. Rev. Mr.. Wyley
of New York conducted the devotional
exercises. Bishop Foster then began the
episcopal address. He was listened to
with profound attention.
The Bishop said the missions in foreign
lands were in excellent condition all over
the world No schisms, no dissensions
had appeared in the church during the
past four years. The. church had eX-
perienCed wonderful growth Since the
last General Conference fully Zoo
members had been added, greater gain
than had ever been known in its history.
The speaker then touched on the vote in
the annual conference and the churches
upon the admission of women to the
General Conference with the following
result: Laity-tor, 235, ,66S: against, I63.-
S43. Ministerial For, 5000; against,
4,94i. The speech warmly commended
the establishment of the Methodist Uni
yersity at Washington and deprecated
Chinese exclusion legislation.
The episcopal address declared that the
legal prohibition OF the liquor traffic was
the only true solution of the great prob
lem. The church was CONGRATULATED
upon the growing spirit Of fellowship
among the various denominations. The
relations between the various branches
OF the Methodist Church, between the
colored and the white brethren, is very
cordial and satisfactory. The Methodist
Church is still watching faithfully the
interests and rights of the colored race.
Upon the subject of popular amuse-
ments, the address held that while church
members should not be made hermits
themselves, they should refrain from
great deal that worldly people patronize.
The church is non-sectional and non-po-
lltcal. The secular press is regarded by
the Bishop as one of the greatest powers
of modern civilization. 1t deplored
the fact that tho secular press
sometimes becomes the means of pro-
noting political corruption and personal
greed and aggrandizement, to the detri-
ment of good morals and the rights of the
people.
In closing, Bishop Foster admonished
the delegates to weigh well every ques-
ton and act wisely and conscientiously
in the deliberations of the session.

When the Count was Grand Chamberlain
and Marshal Of the royal household he
fell in love with a variety actress in a
music hall and took her to his home
This resulted in the departure of the
Countess and a suit for divorce. The
Count was compelled to give up all his
Offices. one year later the Count, while
driving with the woman along fashion,
able promenade, met the King and Queen
face to face. Their naJesties snubbed the
Count. who at the same moment fell into
the arms of his companion, stricken with
an apoplectic attack. While he was in
this condition the woman married his
physician and converted into cash all the
Counts movable property. Then, with
her husband, she departed from Copen-
hagen, leaving the Count in private hos
pital, where he was cared for at the royal
expense.

little reliance in the pending appeal to

that he is now partly convinced that he

LESSONS of repentance, declining to see the
jail chaplain or clergyman.

The jail has seen the manuscript and says
the story is incoherent. 1t is probable
that after the execution experts will ex-
anime Deeming's brain, in order to de-
ternlne the question of sanity.

SAN Francisco, May 4.-The British
ship Knight Commander, 453 days from
Antwerp, is one OF the unluckiest ships
atioat. She was built at Liverpool twenty
eight years ago and has made about six
profitable trips to her owners. Her first
trip from Calcutta to Liverpool consumed
over a year, and she was dismantled
shortly after she started out and had to
put back TO port for repairs. Five years
ago she lost five of her crew overheard in
mid-oceau. On the next trip she made
several unsuccessful attempts TO round
Cape Horn, during which she lost her
rudder and had to construct a iury-rudder
in order to return to place of safety
where she could have her steering-gear
repaired. She started three times from
Port Stanley, but had to put back each
time. At Montevideo the crew mutinied
and left the vessel. While the Captain
was endeavoring to ship new crew one
of the apprentice boys fell down the hold
and was killed. At Montevideo the Cap
tain could not get a single man TO ship
for the trip unless he paid $500 or $500
''bIood" money. The sailors in this port
claim that. there is a "hoodoo" on the
Knight Commander, and under no con-
ditiOnS viii they make trip on her.
-Four hundred and tifty-three days from
Antwerp is one of the longest trips on
record. SO long has the ship been out
from Antwerp that she has been given
up several times for lost, and her Captain
heaVed a sigh Of relief when he anchored
safely in port this morning.
