THE SITUATION AS IT IS.
IN THE RACE FOR THE CONGRESS
SIGNAL NOMINATION.
How the Counties Stand as Claimed by
Both Sides--The Convention Will
be Held Next Wednesday.

De Held Next Wednesday.
All the counties of the Second CON
gressional district have now elected their
delegates to the nominating convention,
which will be held in Albany next We'd
ndesday, one week from today.
Those who have kept up with the cam
paign ought to be able to figure right
closely upon how the vote will stand be-
tween the two candidates, Stevens and
Russell.
The campaign has been a remarkable
one in more respects than one, and GER
tain causes have led to the holding of
two primaries or mass meetings in sew
eral of the counties. Or, to be more ex-
plicit, it should be said that in some of
the counties in which regularly called pri-
maries, or mass meetings. were held in
accordance with the orders of the reeog-
nized democratic committees of those
counties, delegates were again elected
on July Both in accordance with the
recommendations of the district execu-
tive committee. Thus, when the conven-
ton meets next Wednesday there will be
two sets of delegates from these counties.
The returns of all the counties are now
in, and this is way the situation presents
itself:

those counties in which contesting dele
gates were elected on July Both h d
every one previously elected Stevens
delegates on dates regularly called by the
executive committee OF each county, and
by democrats who were loyal t. their
county committees. Those elected on
July Both under call of the district COM
mittee are all anti-Stevens men. These
delegates come from the counties of
Clay, Randolph, Thomas and Worth, and

Of the contesting delegations will be
seated, as each case will have to go be-
fore the conventions committee on Gre
dentials on lis merits and be determined
accordingly.
Mr.. Stevens seems to have won
the nomination, but it is the general
opinion that enough of the contesting
delegates will be seated to give Mr.. Rus

Congressional Politics as Seen by Editor
Winter.
From tue Thomasville News.
THE congressional situation in the
Second will remain in abeYance till the
convention of august 18th assemblies. All
of the counties have acted, and the CON
tests that will come before the conven-
ton from number of counties can only
be settled by the convention itself.
1t is true that a number of papers have
assumed to say what the result will be,
that the anti-Stevens delegations will be
seated. This is notably true Of the Albany
papers, and as the campaign has drawn
its inspiration from that place. it may be
that these papers have had some direct
communication from the powers that be
that enables them to speak for the CON
vention
The News has no such special sources
of information, and it must therefore
wait TIL the convention assemblies. 1t
does not, however, require any source of
special inspiration to be able to see that
if the intolerant spirit rules the conven-
ton that has been bespoken forit by the
Albany papers, that democracy in the

labor unions in the country, held a
meeting for the election of officers March
|. For a long time there has been a
growing discomfort between the English
and Irish factions, of which it is com
posed. The latter have been in control.
The result did not please the English
faction, who were greatly disappointed
as they believed they had out-votcd their
Irish opponents. a protest was entered
against the election, and ballot box stuff
ing was charged. The recent meeting
broke up amid the widest confusion and
disorder. 1t is almost certain the fac
tions will before long split up the union.

CAN nETHRINGTUN BE TRiED9



DrnuQuE, Iowa, March 10. Letters
have been received here from Lieut.,
llcthrington and other officers Of the
Marion. They confirm the published
account of the killing of Robinson at
lokohoma and say that Hethrngton
has ample proof that he was justified in
shooting Robinson. 1t is alleged that
there is evidence that Robinson
had arranged an clopemcnt with
Mrs. Hethrington. In an interview
tonight ex-senator Knight raises the
point whether Lieut.. Hethrington can
bc lawfully tried in IA consular court in
Japan. and whether he can be tried by
other than a court having grand and
petit jury. Knight queries whether, as
by our treaty with Japan, judicial con
troll and jurisdiction over American citi-
zcns in Japan is reserved to this govern
mcnt the latter can proceed against
iicthrington in any different manner
than if the crime had been
committed within the territorial
limits of the United States. AS con
gr9ss has made no provision for the trial
o. such case a. in the ordinary way of
judicial procedure, Knight is inclined
to the opinion that the lieutenant can
not be tried 1T all and must
go free. He says these could be imnI"-
diately tested by habcas corpus pro
/ cccdings in the supreme court Of The
| United States and believes that III the
event of such a proceeding h"thring,or
