TENNESSEE REPUBLICANS
Favor Annexation Of All West India
-., Islands

NASHVILLE, Tenn, Aug. 1.-THE Re
publican state convention which met here
today in the senate chamber at the state
capitol nominated James Fowler Of Clin-
ton for governor by reclamation.
The platform adopted endorses the ST.
Louis platform and demands the main
tenance Of the gold standard. The conduct
by the administration of President Nc
Kiniey OF the war with Spain and the for
eign. policy arising therefrom are praised
as mastery, statesmanlike and patriotic.
1--WE believe in an extension of trade and
commerce with foreign countries. Believ-
ing that trade follows the flag, we declare
in favor of the annexation of Porto Rico
and all the West Indian islands; the ulti-
mate annexation of Cuba by the free con-
sent of the people of the island and such
control of the Philippines and other is
lands as shall secure to the United States
the trade and commerce of these Islands
and good government of their people"
Another plank urges the immediate con-
struction of the Nicaraguan canal, the en-
terprise to be strictly under American con-
troll.

Bidding for Business

CHICAGO, Aug. 17.-Another blow has
been struck at the Canadian Pacific by the
Chicago-St. Paul roads. At this season
there 10 always an exodus Of farm laborers
from Ontario and Eastern Canada to Mani
toba, and this year 1t is LANCER than ever
before, over 5000 passengers having been
hauled in one week. Formerly the Cana
dian Pacific had a monopoly Of the BUSH
ness. 1t was able to load all It's own trains
with eighty passengers to the car. Now
the American lines have gone in as COM
petitors for the business and have sue
ceeded In diverting large amount of the
business via Chicago and st. Paul. Last
night 400 of these passengers were brought
here by the Grand Trunk road. A special
train on the Milwaukee and st. Paul took
900 Of them to st. Paul, and the others were
divided up among the other roads. Similar
parties will be brought here tomorrow and

LAWYERS OF AMERICA
BEGIN THEIR ANNUAL SESSION
=. AT SARATOGA
The Presidents Address Devoted to
Questions Arising Out of the
"a = War With Spain e..

SARATOGA, N. r., Aug. 1.-THE Amer
lean Bar Association began its annual ses-
sion here today. There was large at
tendance of distinguished members OF the
bar from all parts of the country. The
president. VIM. W.. Howe, OF louisiana
made the annual address.
President Howe devoted much of his ad-
dress to consideration Of the legal prob
lens likely to arise as results OF the war
with Spain and other important events In
the recent history Of the nation. He said:
THE annexation of Hawaii. and the
possibility of the acquisition Of other is
lands inhabited by races quite different
from our own will present many problems
in law as well as politics. On the one
hand we do not wish to abandon the idea
Of representative republican government,
devoted to the securing Of the rational free
dom of the individual, who cheerfully
obeys its laws because he has made them
himself, or his manufactures. On the other
hand, we are not quite prepared to beheve
that the gospel of the town meeting VIII
necessarily be means of saving grace
to the islands of the tropic sea.
1--WE may hope for the best, but at the
same time we may have reasonable fears OF
the future. 1t might be well for Congress
to consider plan of government which has
existed in Louisiana at various periods OF
Its history, sometimes called the admins
trative plan.' If this were applied to the
Hawaiian Islands, the President, with the
advice and consent Of the Senate would
appoint, say Governor, Lieutenant-Gov-
ernor, Secretary, Auditor, Treasurer, At
torney-General, Superintendent OF Educa-
ton and such other executive and admin
istrative officers as might be necessary
and the whole body of officers of this kind
would, ex officio, form Legislature. The
statutes enacted by this Legislature would
be the law OF the Territory-unless in con-
PREVENTION Of the Constitution. laws OF
treaties of the United States. If such g
government were honestly administered II
might be successful. If corruption and
abuse crept in, the President of the United
States could at any time remove the Of
tenders and appoint honest and capable
successors. 1 merely suggest this in pass
ing as something worthy Of discussion -
The speaker then gave a summary OF
Congressional and State legislation for
the year. with special notice Of the i'm
portant laws.
President Howe closed with an extended
argument in favor of the substitution OF
International arbitration for war.
The address of welcome was made by
Chief Justice Alton B. Parker, of the Court
Of Appeals.
The association this afternoon received
the reports of the council, the executive
committee and its executive officials.

WORKING ON WRECKS
SUNK BY sCHLEY ALONG THE
CUBAN COAST
The Cruisers Maria Teresa and Reins
Mercedes Can Be Raised and Re-
paired Without Difficulty

SANTIAGO, Aug. 1.-THE Associated
Press correspondent today visited the
wrecks Of the warships of Admiral Ger
veras fleet. Captain Sharp of the Merritt
Wrecking company is working vigorously
to float the Maria Teresa, and expects to
get her afioat and in such condition as o
enable her to come to Santiago within q
fortnight. The Maria Teresa has hols
fifteen feet long in her bottom, very close
to the keel. This is being closed and
stopped with unriveted plates, solder and
cement and bagging.
Captain Sharp suggests bringing the Ma
ria Teresa first to Santiago for temporary
repairs and then taking her to Havana,
where it will be possible to patch her up
sufficiently for her to undertake the voS
age north. He thinks the vessel can be
fixed so as to make her available as a
f1rst-rate cruiser.
Captain Sharp however, has no sanguine
hopes of saving the Cristobal Colon. In
fact he considers the task practically i'm
possible, despite the contrary opinion en-
tertained by some, and he could not guar
antee that the vessel can be floated.
The salvage of the Reina Mercedes and
the Merrimac, he says, will be easy. Bot
can be fioated with little difficulty, and
he will undertake the contract with conf
dence.
The Almirante Oquendo and the vizcaya
are both total wrecks and are not worth
saving for junk.
Three hundred and seventy-five patients
from the hospital at Siboney were brought
to Santiago this afternoon and will leave
on the hospital ship Quitania tomorrow.
The Eighth will leave on the Mohawk. One
company Of the Thirty-fourth Michigan
will go in the morning to Guantanamo bay
for transportation on the steamer Resolute,

Labrador Advices

ST. JOHNS. N. F.. Aug. 1.-THE mai
steamer Virginia Lake from Labrador has
arrived at the Tilt Cove. She reports that
there Is no further news regarding the
wreck reported In the Straits of Belle Isle
on her last trip. She also reports that the
cargo Of the wrecked steamer Ipsden has
nearly all been saved and that the steamer
Is likely to be gotten Off, the damage ia
her hull not being SO severe as was at
flrst thought. Reports from Labrador say
the fisheries there are excellent and that
the stories of restitution which have ap-
peared in number Of Canadian papers are
greatly exaggerated.

MASTERING OUT
Soldiers Tired of Service May Secure
Discharges

WASHINGTON, Aug. T.-At midnight
tonight the president announced his dec.-
sion to muster out of the service from
75 900 to 100000 Of the volunteers. Those to
be discharged will include three branches
of the service-infantry, artillery and cav
airy.
So far as the interests OF the government
will permit, 1t is believed the president in
the mastering out Of the volunteers will
accommodate himself to the desires Of the
men themselves within certain obvious
limitations, those troops who want to be
mustered out will be- and those who desire
to continue in the service will be retained
so long as they may be needed.
1t may be some time before the organiza-
tions to be mustered out will be designat-
ed, but the reduction of the volunteer force
will be made as soon as practicable.
