THE L. p. HAD NOT A WORD.
BADLY Beaten ON the Wreck of tn
CriStObaI Colon.

CristObal Colon.
NEW YORK, October 2-Thursday, Sep
TENDER 49, the Associated Press furnished
in time for the first editions of its after
rcon papers the fact that the Spanish
cruiser Bdrcastegui had been sunk by COL
lsion in Cuban waters. The details also
were given. Forty-six persons were
drowned. and among them the commander
of the Spanish fleet in Cuban waters. OF
this news the United Press papers had
rothing save that III their later editions
some were bold enough to appropriate"
Their source of supply was ignorant of the
fact and details.
Yesterday, again, the far-reaching and
steadily reliable news resources of the AS
ISOLATED Press were demonstrated. Its
afternoon papers were supplied with ex-
elusive news of the loss of another Spanish
vessel, this time the well-known warship
Crisrobal Colon. She was wrecked In Cuban
waters with about 200 officers and men.
The Associated Press supplied its papers
yesterday with three-fourths of column
of the details. while those papers that are
dependent upon the United Press went to
press with their last editions bare Of any
mention of the loss of this second Spanish
warsfip in Cuban waters. Thus, the fact Is
again sharply confirmed that the news re-
sources of the Associated Press may be re-
lied upon for prompt service of news at
home and abroad. q
Deep chasrin at the pitiabe inadequacy
of the United Press as a news gatherer.
coupled with their own sense Of decency,
may possibly explain the fact that the
afternoon papers relying on that organiza-
ton, with one exception, failed in this in
stance even to appropriate" secondhand
the news of the wreck of the Colon.
The morning papers relying on the minor
news organization are supplied with only
ten lines of the loss of the Colon.
The German mail steamer Uruguay was
yesterday exclusively announced by the AS
ISOLATED Press in Rio Janeiro dispatch to
have been wrecked on the Brazilian coast.
United Press morning papers today reprint
this news from the Associated Press papers
of Yesterday.

NATIONAL ISSUES DROPPED.
Convention Of the Mnssachusetts
Democrats Mt MOrcester.

Democrats Mt Worcester.
WORCESTER, Mass, October 2-Demo-
Gratis who have come here to attend the
state convention are enthusiastic, and
claim that the harmony which exists In
the party in this city augurs well for big
democratic vote. The indications now are
that the convention will be a most har-
monious gathering. The platform deals al
most entirely with state issues.
Mr.. Corcoran called the convention to
order at IL 80. The officers of the state
committee were chosen temporary officers
of the convention, and the regular commit
tees of the convention were appointed. The
committee on credentials reported that the
convention was entitled to. 2321 delegates,
and that 1850 were present.
The committee on permanent organiza-
ton reported for permanent chairman Jo-
siah Quincy of Boston.
The report was adopted and MI. quincy
took his place amid cheers 80
In beginning his address Mr.. Quincy
classed as dead issues the questions of fed
eraI control of elections and of pensions of
war veterans. He said that the democratic
administration and the democratic party
were sQuarely opposed to the annexation Of
Hawaii.
while" he said, there are no reasons
why we should concern ourselves especially
with the affairs of Hawaii. there are strong
reasons that lead US to take an interest in
the future or CuDQ. IL the letter OF the
Monroe doctrine forbids the further acquis-
ton Of American territory by any Euro
pean powers, its spirit equally demands
American sympathy with such an effort as
that which Cuba is now making to throw
off European control.
He was in favor of recognizing the rights
of the Cubans as belligerents as soon as it
can be done without violation of interna-
tioral law.
He believed that the tariff should be left
alone.
He eulogized the civil service record of
the democratic party, and commended the
recent order of the President extending the
rules to include certain consular officers.
In concluding, he charged the republican
party with sympathy with the A. p. A., and
accused Governor Greenhalge Of indiscrim-
innate use of the power of removal in con-
nection with democratic offlce-holders.
The nominations are as follows: For
governor, George Fred. Williams of Ded-
ham, for lieutenant governor, James s.
GrinEell of Greenfield: secretary of state.
Edward j. Flynn of Boston; treasurer and
receiver general, Ben. Stevens of Dudley;
! attorney general. Henry r. HurIbut of
ton.
A resolution offered by jeremiah l.. O'Sul-
Ivan of Lawrence against q presidential
third term was referred to the committee
, on resolutions without debate. and the
report of the committee as read was adopt
| ed by unanimous vote.
Mr. Williams was escorted to the plat
| form amid tremendous applause. and made
| a speech accepting the nomination.
At the conclusion of Mr.. Williams speech
| the convention adjourned.

DUPLICATING PASTOR GIBSON.
Theories of the Defense in the Dur
rant Case.

Theories of the Defense in the Dur
rant Case.
SAN FRANCISCO. October 2.-One of the
attorneys of the Durrant defense, A. W.
Thompson, has consented, in the light of
the remarks made public by Rev. ]. George
Gibson, to outline the facts and theories
which caused Mr.. Duprey, in his opening
statement, to throw suspicion upon the
pastor of Emanuel Church.
The first suspicion of the defense arose
during the preliminary examination from
Mr.. Gibson's own testimony. 1t was in
regard to the Minnie Williams case that
the first doubts arose. In the tesimonty, the
defense says, Mr.. Gibson made many ad-
missions which looked queer. and some
denials that also looked queer.
In the Lamont case' they have new
ground for suspicion, which has never been
made public. ard did not appear in the
preliminary examination. This is fact
hitherto unknown, bit which the defense
expects to prove by one or more COM
petent. unimpeachabfe witnesses, that
Blanche Lamont had intended to address
the prayer meeting on the evening of April
3. 1t seems that on Sunday evening pre-
ceding Blanche L.amonts disappearance
she remarked at the meeting of the Young
Peoples Society Of Christian Endeavor,
which met beforeT evening service, and
on which Miss Lamont was a faithful at
tendant. that she was going to speak at the
prayer meeting on April on the subject
of "My dual life," and wished to consult
her pastor on the subject.
That she did not see the minister on
Monday or Tuesdad, TIE defense can prove.
They do not expect tp show that she Wis
tied his study on Wiedppesday, but they can
prove by the young Adies who overheard
the remark that she Intended to consult
him, and they can also show that WeGnes-
day afternoon was her first opportunity.
After gathering up few ragged ends of
the testimony left over from last week, the
defense began yesterday the building of
an alibi for the young medical student
from April to Is, inclusive.
The trial began yesterday with a sensa-
ton, which was quite as unexpected to the
prosecution as to the defense. Juror Tru-
man Informed the court that during the
noon recess of the court Thursday he was
approached by H. J. Mccoy, general secre-
tary of the Young Mems Christian Asso-
citation, who endeaSored to engage him In
conversation on the subject of the trial.
IF you don't hang Durrant," said Nc
Coy to the juror, I'VE will hang you"
The court said the offense bordered
strongly on a crime, and cited Mccoy to
appear in court at noon tomorrow, to show
cause why he should not be punished for
contempt.

MYSTERIOUS DISAPPEARANCE
VIM. D. Deloe, Well Known Here, Cannot
Be Found.
Last Seen mt Dubois, Pa, Last Satur-
day Nisht-Bright Young
Man.

William D. Deloe, young man we'll
known In this city, mysterfously disappear
ed Saturday night from Dubois, Pa. Much
apprehension is felt in regard to his safety.
Young Deloe was employed general re-
porter on the Dubois Evening Express, and
had been living in that place for some
months. but was born and reared in this
city, being the eldest son of William W.
Deloe of SO2 I street northeast, a copy
reader in the specification division Of the
government printing Office.
Deioe left this city in July, 1884, and for
time was employed as foreman of a
newspaper in Bethlehem, Pa Later he
went to Dubois and secured a position on
the Evening Express. as stated. Re-
Gently he spent his vacation, covering a
period OF three weeks. with his parents
In this city and returned to Dubois a fort
night ago. His mother received a long
letter from him last week, in which he
stated that he was feeling very ill, and
expressed the fear that he was threatened
with typhoid fever. He added that it was
impossible to take rest, as no one could
be secured to fill his position on the paper.
The letter was promptly answered, and the
parents heard no more from their son until
notified by Star reporter this afternoon
of mis- strange disappearance.
According to a special dispatch to The
Star from Dubois young Deloe had been
III poor nealtn 1Or over a week, no
reason could be assigned for his going
| away except possible alteration of mind.
There are several weeks wages due him,
so that finances, it is thought, can have
nothing to do with the matter
Mrs. Deloe, the mother of the young man,
was greatly shocked when Informed Of the
disappearance of her son. She stated to
the reporter that for several days past
both herself and husband have had a pre-
sentiment that something was wrong with
their son. They Immediately commune
Gated with the Pennsylvania authorities in
regard to the case.
William d. Deloe has hosts of friends in
this city. all of whom regarded him as an
ideal young man. He was at one time EN-
ployel printer on The Star, but always
had an ambition to be reporter. He has
| a brother, d. Harrington Deloe. who is
also a printer, in this city. and small
brother. just nine years of age.
The theory has been advanced that per-
haps young Delce was murdered. The sec
ton about DuboiS it is said, Is thickly in
tested with lawbreakers. and Deloe's paper
has been fighting them. Deloe being the
author of some of the attacks. it Is thought
that he may have been put out Of the way
in a spirit of revenge.
The young man was also well known in
| church circles. being a prominent member
Of the Epworth League. He was a dele
gate to the last national convention of the
league and delivered an address at that
gathering.

OPINIONS TOO FRANKLY EXPRESSED
The German Emperor Not Dis
posed to Accept Criticism.
SURROUNDED BY FLATTERERS

LONDON. October 2-According to gen.
eral understanding in court circles here,
Emperor William of Germany and his
brother, Prince Henry of Prussia, are on
very bad terms. and Queen Victoria and
ex-Empress Frederick have been doing
their utmost to bring about reconciliation
between them.
Emperor William and Prince Henry. it
appears, recently had a warm discussion
on naval affairs in general and upon the
management of the Baltic and North Sea
canal in particular. The prince, it Is added,
differed in opinion with the emperor and
intimated that the recent mishaps in the
canal were due to his majesty's injudicious
orders. This is said to have led to quite
an exciting exchange of remarks.
The matter has now crept into the news
papers. ard Truth today, abiding to it.
says:
1T turns out that there has been a diff
ference of opinion between Emperor Will
lam and Prince Henry of Prussia, which
has assumed large proportions. and the eff
fort of the Empress Frederic to arrange
matters has been fruitless. Prince Henry
has been practically banished on account
CT the quarrel, which arose in question
with the Baltic canal. and he has been
given years leave of absence.
Prince Henry and his wife are now at
Balmcral and will probably remain there a
month. Ihey were going TO copenhagen
in order to attend the royal wedding; hut
it Is now probable that the emperor will
send some enc else. Prince and Princess
Henry of Prussia are to visit the Prince
and Princess of Wales next month and
will remain in England until the end of
November. They will then go to Italy and
Greece.
The royal wedding which Truth refers
to is that of Princess Louise of Denmark,
eldest daughter of the crown prince. to
Prince Frederick of SchaGmburs-Lippe.
Prince Frederick, who was born IT. 1868. is
the eldest son of Prince William of
Schaumburg-Lippe, an important Bohemian
land owner. His wife Is a niece of the
Queen of Denmark. and one of Prince
