Texas Democrats Strongly Fav-
or Territorial Expansion.

Galveston, Tex, Aug. 3.-The Demo-
cratic state convention opened in the
wigwam by the beach. James B. Wells,
of Brownsville. was elected temporary
chairman, in accordance with the rec
ommendation of the executive commit
tee.
J. w. Blake, chairman of the state
executive committee, made a lengthy
address. in which he declared for Bryan
for president, but at the same time
spoke in the most unmeaSured terms
for territorial expansion and for an in
creased navy. His remarks on this line
were warmly applauded.
Before the temporary organization
had been completed Congressman Hen
ry was on the floor with a resolution,
which was sent to the secretary's desk.
The first few lines disclosed that it was
a declaration against territorial acquis-
itiOn. and the convention refused to
hear it out. Jonathan Lane raised the
point that the resolution was not in or
der at that time and the point was sus-
tanned Afterward it was referred to
the committee on platform
The sentiment of the committee seems
strongly in favor of territorial expan-
sion.
Sayers will have a walkOver for the
gubernatOrial nomination.
St. Louis. Aug "a special to the
t-Dispatch from Galveston, Texas,
says that the Democratic state cOnven-
tiOn is still waiting for the report of
the resolutions committee. which is
tOrial extension. Congressman Bailey
is leading the opposition and it is ex-
pected that a report will not be reached
for some time.

Wholesale Massacre of CathO-

HE FEARS AGUINALDO.

Chicago. Aug. "a special from
Washington to the Daily News says:
The war and navy department have
received through Cardinal Rampolla,
papaI secretary of state, a cablegram
from the pope expressing the keenest
anxiety for the safety of the bishop
and clergy at Cavite.
Information received at the vatican
is to the effect that Aguinaldo and his
forces have planned the massacre of
the Catholics. Immediately upon the
reception of the information cabIegrams
were sent to General Merritt and Ad-
zniral Dewey directing them to take
every means possible to prevent the in
surgents from harming Catholics The
receipt Of the news has caused much
uneasiness here. If an attempt Of
this kind is made by AguinaldO it will
surely lead to a conflict between the
forces under him and those of the
United States.
Nine Spanish GunbOats.
San Francisco, Aug. 3.-A special to
the Chronicle from Cavite, dated July
There are nine little Spanish gun
boats scattered about this group of is
lands and when Manila has been
stormed Admiral Dewey will turn his
attention to their capture or destruc-
tiOn. AS near as can be ascertained
they are distributed as follows: In the
Pasig river, Manila, gunbOats Cebu,
Zamar or Samar and Bulusan-
At IlOflO gunbOat Ell CanO.
At ZambOanga gunbOat Pampanga.
At Blalabac gunboat Calamanes.
At POnape, Carolina islands gunboat
LObos.
OF these vessels named, FL Cano is
the largest and best. Admiral Dewey
planned to send the Baltimore after her
some time ago but decided in view of
the danger of a second fleet coming
from Spain, that it would be well to
keep his defense intact.
It is probable that two of the vessels
sunk by Dewey's fleet may be raised
and rendered serviceable.
Dewey Hard at Work
San Francisco, Aug. 3.-The Manila
correspondent of the Hong Kong Press
says;
Admiral Dewey does not confine his
1abOrs to the Olympia. He goes to
Cavite almost every day. By his order
and by the speed and excellence of it's
execution the navy yard, arsenal, forts
and barracks have been converted in
wonderfully short time from confusion
and chaos to neatness and system.

CHAPEL AVE- GRADE
Hoos Gives a Hearing
to Interested Parties
Yesterday.

Mayor Hoos yesterday afternoon gave a
hearing in the matter of the change Of
grade of Chapel avenue. There were no
'.indigant cftizens' present, and the law
yers for the Lehigh Valley Railroad Com
pany, who wants the change, and the
Morris & Cummings Dredging Company,
who does not, had it all to themselves.
Counsellor Chas. .. Thompson present.
ed the case for the Dredging Company,
which, in brief, was that the proposed
change would cut off all access to the
company's property. The company, he
said, owned upland and lands under
water which had been assessed at $2o0,
600. If the railroad company were per-
mitted to construct a viaduct 1t would
mean tina the lands would lose their
value because there was no way to reach
the water front. The scheme, Mr.. Thomp-
son said, really meant confiscation. Tn
Dredging Company had paid, he contin-
ued, seventy to eighty thousand dollars
in taxes, and in the future intended TO
fill in the land and improve the property.
Should the LehiSh Valley Company be
permitted to build the viaduct irreparaDie
injury would be inflicted on the Dredg-
ing Company.
Why is. it." asked the Mayor, "that

sSimply because we were stopped BY
the Harbor Line Board, between whom
and the Riparian Commissioners there IS
a question of jurisdiction. We We're IN
the act of filing in when we were not1-
fed to STOP replied Mr.,
I'VE have a water front there of 1850
feet, on which we pay taxes to the CITY.
DO you pay or hang up?" asked the
Mayor.
Mr.. Thompson said that the company
had paid some of its taxes and there
were others now in dispute. He closed
by urging the Mayor not TO sign the Or
dinance which meant confiscation of his
clients property, which would be value.
less if Chapel avenue were closed
j. T. Schaperkotter for the Lehigh Val
ley Company argued that Morris u Cum
mings' property could not be improved,
and was practically yaiueless. ne m
sisted that the proposed change would
mot affect the street nor shut off access
to the water front. As q matter OF fact,
he said, the avenue was not used except
by a few cams hauling celery and q lew
people in search of salvation.
what does Brother Hancox say about
the change snterposed Mr.. Thompson,
with a sly glance at the Mayor.
oh replied Mr.. Schaperkotter,' he
came to see me and left"
The .leftr Dart of the answer conVulsed
the Mayor and Mr.. Thompson who know
something about the Lehigh Valleys HIT
tie ways. Continuing, the railroad agent
said that the opposition OF the Morris &
Cummings Company was not merltorlous
and should not be considered.
