THE BERMUDA SEIZED.
Fhe Action Brought by Discharged
SeRmcn for Wages Duc.

Philadelphia, June 9.-The steamer
Bermuda. which was recently deprived
of her registry by the British Consul
a. this port because. II Is said, of er IL
legged hl.bustertng expedition. and which
has since been lying at Camden, y. j.,
was to-day seized by United States Mar
shall Pfeffer, of New Jersey, on libel
filed by three seamen for unpaid wages
The amount claimed by the seamen Is
s2T.75. / Is said the filing of the libel is
a part of the plan 10 secure a registry
for the steamer under the American flag
1t was stated this afternoon that II the
vessel should be sold by order of the
United States Court and purchased by
an American citizen her past record
would be wiped out, and her owner could
procure new papers and sail her under
the American flag.
The seamen who brought the proceed
ings are George Mansen. Servente Co.
den and John Petersen. They claim that
they were engaged to ship on the steam
err on April 13 when she was preparing
for her last trip to Jamaica. After work
ing for nine days on the vessel they
were told. they claim. that she would
probably engage in n hazardous under
taking. and they refused to sign the ship
ping articles. The mate then gave them
an account of the wages due them
When they presented this to John d.
refused.
Lawyer Harrison H. Voorhees,, of
Camden, who represents the seamen, de-
MES that the suit has been Instituted
so far as he knows to secure a naw reg
istry for the steamer. He said: IT un-
ders;and that it may be possible to se-
cure change in registry In case Of a
sale. but / have nothing to do with
that"
The procedure under the libel proce ed
tngs. according to Lawyer Voorhees,, will
be about as follows: The papers in the
suit are made returnable June 30 If no
defense Is made at that time Judgment
will be taken by default and the Ber-
muda will be advertised for sale by the
United States Marshals. She viii be
sold for sum sufficient to cover the
claim of three seamen and the costs of
the suit the purchaser will get title by
decree of the United States District
Court approving the sale. and he can
then maks application to have the YES
Sci registered under this bill of sale
The vessel is now in charge Of Deputy
United States Marshal, who will remain
on board until the Bermuda shall be re-
leased from the jurisdiction of the

maryland DEMOCRATS.
The State Convention Meets To-Day
Sllypr or Gold?

Baltimore, June g.-'rhe Democratic
State Convention VIII meet at noon to-

Convention and adopt Il platform.
There will be considerable silver senti-
ment In the convention. although none of
the leaders seem TO think that 1t viii be
OF sufficient strength to do more than
kick up q row.
However, nearly every Eastern Shore
delegation has white metal men In its
makeup and 1t would no; be surprising
il they. along with few other agrlcul-
turists from western Maryland. should
force some concession from the sound
money adheren:s of the cities. The sill
yer man are to-night loudly asserting
that there will be no mention of gold
in the platform. but that instead, the
financial plank of the platform Will be
at the worst a straddlc.

or not Senator Go.man will allow John

One of Mr.. Cowen's supporters in dis

point we make Is this: Mr. Cowan Is con-

money question in this country. 1t Is
the desire of the Democrats OF this State
that Maryland should make itself felt

Mr.. Cowen to Chicago. If, however. the
