Asked President About
First Rhode Island.
NO ANSWER RECEIVED.
He Wanted TO Know II the Regiment
Is TO Go TO Porto Rico.
A MESSAGE TO COLONEL ABBOT.

Gov Dyer has always done all in his
power for the Rhode Island troops both
at home and abroad, and 1t was un-
doubtedly due TO his vast amount of
work and untiring energy that Rhode
Island was enabled 10 send the best
equipped regiment 10 the front. That
this regiment has been held back at
Camp Alger is no fault OF Gov. Dyer,
but is due to the peculiar methods
which are in operation at the war de-
partment, where well equipped, well
officered and well drilled regiments do
not appear to be looked upon with
favor.
While Gov. Dyer has, very naturally.
been expecting TO hear something from
the war department in relation 10 the
ordering of the regiment to Porto Rico,
not one word has come TO him, and
therefore. I'm order TO be able to give
the people OF the state some authentic
information the governor yesterday
afternoon telegraphed directly to Pres
ident Mckinley. In his dispatch he
asked. i'm the name of the state, whether
the First Regiment Rhode Island Vol
unteers was to be permitted to go to
Porto Rico or not. Up to late hour
today Gov. Dyer had received no
answer from the president to the dis
match

Fighting Between French and ChIuess

San Francisco, August 23.-Serious
rioting has occurred over French
concessions in Shanghai's suburbs, at
tended by serious loss of life. Accord
ing to advices by the steamer Belgic.
the trouble grew out Of the failure of
the negotiations by the French munic-
ipality to secure Ningpo joss house,
and an unused building On the French
concession for a proposed school, hos
pitaI and a battoir. After lengthy par
leying with unfruitful results the Toa
Tai seized the cemetery on July 18th
and pulled down the walls.
The Ningpo population was greatly
wrought up and after the shops had
been closed an attack was made on the
police station and the south end of the
French quarter.
The Frenchmen opened fire on the
mob, killing fifteen and wounding
twenty-nine others who were taken &c
the hospital. One of them is in a dying
condition. The situation is serious. All
the Ningpo servants have been order
ed to cave foreign employers.

Representatives OF the principal ex-

city last week. and agreed that Colonel
John J. McCook. counsel of Wells.
Fargo & Co., should go to Washington
TO see the attorney general ~ secure
from him a ruling as to whether the

pay the internal revenue charges on
packages. Colonel McCook yesterday

Dear Sir; Replying TO your letter
OF the 18th instant. / have the honor
to advise you that the attitude taken
by the department OF justice. with ref
erence to the question as to which par
ty, the shipper or the express COM
pany. under the war revenue bill, Is
required to furnish and pay for the
evenue stamp which is required TO
be placed upon the manifest or bill OF
lading, is hat this Is a matter entire
ly between the shipper and the COM
pany. This office holds that, so far
as the government is concerned. 1t is
only interested to know that the law
full tax is paid.
AS between the shipper and the ex-
press company I have decided that the
matter is not within my province OF
consideration under any case that has
as yet arisen. The United States dis
trict attorneys are instructed by this
office that they may prosecute for the
prescribed penalty any company which
ssues a manifest or bill of lading
without the prescribed stamp: but that
in controversies as to which one shall
be required to bear the expense Of

Very respectfully yours,

OHIO
The STATE ConventlOn-The Fight Be
tween the Two Candfdates-Free Sill
yer and Bryan Endorsed by Resolu-
tons Committee

Dayton, Ohio, August 23.-The pre-
liminary meetings by counties and
congressional districts, today and to-
night, Of the delegates to the demo-
cratic state convention indicate that
the Bowling men, by a close margin,
defeated the Allen o. Myers regime.
The latter are, however, fighting in all
the committees tonight and will con-
tinue the fight in the convention to-
morrow, at which time trouble is ex-
pected. At the meeting or the Third
district delegation his evening a re-
vOlver was drawn by one delegate and
a knife by another.
The committee on permanent organi-
cation tonight selected Congressman
John J. Lent for permanent chairman.
Horace L. Chapman, the candidate for
governor, was the other candidate and
the vote stood: LentZ IL, Chapman Z.
While LentZ was considered a COM
promise man., the Bowling men claim
ed a victory in the selection of Colonel
w. A. Taylor as permanent secretary,
as the Meyers men had opposed him
vigorously.
The committee on credentials tonight
seated the seventeen contested Meyers
& HUH AL SoulIy, dlIu liz
thirty-one Bowling contested delegates
from Montgomery county, a gain of al
most two to one for bowling. A. S.
Griffith's name was reported for the
Third district committeeman temper
arily. This means that Bowling will
be on the state committee and he was
SO selected tonight.
The committee on resolutions agreed
easily on state matters and on free
silver 16 to 1 and the endorsement OF
Bryan for 1900, but spent the night
discussing the annexation of new colo
MES and a subcommittee was appoint
ed to draft a platform and report tC
the full committee before the conven-
ton assemblies tomorrow noon.

Food and Dairy Commissioner-Jno

Member of the Board of Public
Works-T. Dwight Paul.
The convention adjourned at 5 O'Clock
p. M, after being in continuous session
all day. There were no incidents OF
| special interest after the contest be,
tween Joseph P. Bowling and Allen Q
Myers had been declared a draw ir
the interest of harmony.
The effort to get a new plan of par
ty organization in Ohio failed Of fina
adoption, but it was given another
| chance by such reference as will bring
it up next fall. The new organization
seems to satisfy those working for thu
nomination of Paul J. Sorg for gov.

sent of those to be governed. The mos

it's preference for Bryan in 1900 on tn
