The Democratic interests in this district

II. A. James. State Senator, who, as chair
man OF the District Executive Committee.
has been quite active, attending In person
many OF the precinct meetings. The Exc

o'clock the morning OF the convention.

Hon. w. A. Garrett. OF Henry county. Is
almost sure TO WELD the Introductory
gavel but the permanent chairman will
come from the western part OF the dis
trict. Aside from the nomination OF Mr.,
Swanson, which is a foregone conclusion,
the matter OF the resolutions will attract
interest. These will certainly endorse the
course OF Mr.. Swanson, and reaffirm all
legiance 10 the Chicago platform. Refer
ence TO the war with Spain. its conduct
thus far. and the threatened embarka-
ton OF the country, or. rather, of the adj
ministration, on a policy OF national ex-

Mr.. Swanson has recorded his opposition
TO territorial expansion. and II there are

opposite view they Will probably content

DANVILLE, VA, July 9.--(SpeclaL)-
The Democratic nominating convention
for the Fifth Congressional District, en-
bracing the counties OF Pittsylvania,
Henry Patrick, Franklin, Floyd. Carroll,
and Grayson. and the city Of Danvllle,
will be held at Stuart, the county seat of
Patrick, on next Thursday, the Nth in
slant. Throughout the counties of the
district in the past few days precinct
meetings have been held and on last night
the Democrats Of DanYille held their
meeting and elected delegates to the Stuart
Convention, So that now every delegate
that the district is entitled to has been
chosen. a great unanimty has been
manifest in the action Of the various pre-
cinct meetings, for every delegate is in
structed 10 vote for the denomination Of
Representative Claude A. Swanson, Of
Pittsylyania county. The same single
ness OF purpose and iGea is evidenced in
the resolutions adopted by the various
meetings, the only subject on which there
has been diversity OF recorded opinion
being that OF the war, and its conduct by
the present national administration. The
majority Of precinct meetings have re-
Trained from any reference whatever 20
this subject, but few have adopted reso-
lutions endorsing the general conduct Of
belligerent operations against Spain.
While the denomination OF Mr. Swan
son is thus absolutely assured almost by
reclamation, his election by an increased
majority, ii would appear. is no less GER
tain. TWO factors In this desirable re-
suit are In particular worthy OF men,
ton. One is the liveller interest mani
Tested by tobacco manufacturers and
growers, and the other Is the presumption
that the opposition candidate will fail OF
the pecuniary support from the Republi-
can headquarters that was accorded In
the last Hanna Mckinley national cam
paign. Representative Swanson took an
active part in securing a modification OF
certain oppressive provisions OF the war
revenue bill relating to the tobacco in
terests. and appreciation is apparent I'm
many of the precinct resolutions adopted.
wherein reference is made to Mr. Swan
sons intelligent and potent exertions In
this matter. In the last campaign Mr..
John r. Brown. Of Henry county. who
Will likely be the Republican nominee
again, had, it is generally understood,
adequate financial backing, but the abb
sence Of the dough" will interfere with
an effective prosecution Of his plans In

STILL ON NEW YORK
William S. Earle Decided Not to
Change to the Maine.
Interesting Extracts From a'Young Wor-
cester Member of Uncle Sans Navy
from Key West.

William s. Earle, son of Capt David
NJ Earle of this city, who is in the en-
gineering department on board the flag.
ship New York of the Atlantic squadron,
which has been at Key West, writes to
his father very interestingly under date
of last Friday.
Extracts from the letter are as fol-
lows: 1--WE were coalng ship when
last wrote. Eafly Wednesday morning
the torpedo boat Ericsson came over
from Key West with the news of the
blowing up of the Maine, so we fin
ished coaling. and this ship came alone
to Key West, or rather about miles
outside On the way we met the tor
pedo boat Gushing with orders from
Washington to proceed to Key West
and stand by all ready 70 so to Ha7
vana. That night we got up three
rounds of ammunition for each gun;
had torpedo with 11S pounds of gun
cotton in its head in each torpedo tube;
put all lights except the battle lamps
out; had fire hose led out; and placed a
double force of marines on guard with
loaded rifles. Besides this, we had two
Of our steam launches patrolling
round the ship all night, and a torpedo
boat lying near us. So you see that
we were all ready for business.
I'VE had not received a very good ac-
count of the affair then, and in fact
best to be prepared Yesterday we sent
a steam launch into Key West, and
when. she returned we saw the first
newspaper account of it. There We
quite a number of men on her whom
knew, but l could only find one of their
names in the list Of survivors.
This party was a cadet on the St.
Paul, having come from the school ship
st. Mary. We laid off all day yesterday,
and last night was the same as We'd
nesday, only we had steam up and had
one steam launch in Key West waiting
for orders from Washington.
zone of the engineers told US that they
had expected to go to Havana last
night, but no order came; so we are still
here, and l guess we will stay here for
some time.
'The steam launch brought off some
mail this morning with your letter Of
the 18th; and papers up to the 18th
came. Orders came to send diver and
crew of men for the apparatus over to
Havana; and they have just left the
ship to go on the revenue>cutter Bache.
Nobody seems to doubt but what the
the officers of her who, have been over
here all say she was blown up from out
side. guess this is the reason they do
not send this ship over. Anyway all
the officers and men seem to be anxious
to go over and stir up a row; and
guess the same feeling exists ashore
Most of us are in fine health. l have
not been near the doctor for over a
year; so think this life agrees with me"
Young Earle is a regular enlisted man
in the navy; and, on the training ship
Enterprise he prepared for the engineer
ing department He has been on the
New York for about two years, A few
months since transfer of some of the
marines of the New York was made to
the Maine. Earle thought of going
with some of his mates, but was ad-
vised by his father to remain on the
New York, Fortunately, he decided to
| do so.

number of accounts and amount of de-

BAY STATE SAVINGS BANK.
The Youngest Of the Savings Institutions
of the City Showing HealthfuI Growth.

In the article recently published in the
Spy on the savings banks of Worcester
by an unfortunate transcription of fig
ures from the annual report of the saw
ings banks commissioners, it was made
to appear that the Bay States Savings
Bank had fallen off in the number of
It's depositors. Inasmueh as the same
article showed that the total deposits
and assets Of that bank had increased
nearly rs per cent during the year, the
mistake probably misled nobody and
did no harm; but, in the interest of ac-
racy. it is well to say that the gain in
the number Of depositors at the Bay
State bank has kept well abreast of its
gain in total amount Of deposits, as will
be seen by the following comparative
table, by which it appears that its gain
in number of open accounts during the
year has been more than 50 per cent.
which is a very much larger percentage
of gain than that OF any other of the
city banks:
