CHAPLAIN M,INTYRE,S CASE.
Charges Against Him Made Public
 Based on a Lecture

Washington, Sept. 21.-The attention of Judge Advocate General Lemley be- ing directed to the complaint of Chap lain Mcintyre of the Oregon that he had not been informed of the charges upon which he is to be tried by court martial at Denver on the 26th inst. the officer to-day promptly furnished the papers in the case for publication. The chaplain is to be tried upon three charges, all growing out of a lecture delivered by him in the Trinity Metho- dist Episcopal church, Denver, on Au- gust last, referring to the battle of July 3. The first charge is "scandalous conduct tending to the destruction of good morals"
 There are three specifications under this charge; in brief, that he referred to Admiral Sampson as reporting him. self within four miles of the Colon when she struck her colors in order to get his share of prize money; second, he charged that in the chase after the Colon the Oregon met the Iowa going to the rear, and Fighting Bob" took the Iowa to the rear and kept her there during the battle; third, that eastern made ships failed to come up to ex- pectations because the builders got their orders through political pulls and did not care how much they cheated the government. The second charge is .'conduct to the prejudice of good order and discipline.' It recites three speci- fications of the first charge, with an ad- ditional one based on the chaplain's public and contez1ptuous reference to Captain Evans as Fighting Bob. The third charge is conduct uhbecoming an officer of the navy.

STREET R4ILROAD FIGHT. Excitement in Haverhtll, Mass. st0ne5
 Thrown at the Cars

Haverhill, Mass, Sept 21.- Excite ment ran riot in the streets to night on account of the troubles on the street railroad. The crowd of sympathizers improved every opportunity to throw stones at the windows and headlights. or to spatter the employees with vege- tables and eggs. Lawrence employees have protested&agairs being forced to submit to this treatment and accord- ingly all Lawrence cars on the inter- city lines were stopped to-day on the outskirts. The principal trouble occur red when car was stalled by a plug ged switch. The conductor, Williams, jumped off and in the melee a boy was struck and this occasioned a warrant against the conductor. A stone thrown at car disabled Officer Roland. Every car tonight was guarded by two police, officers, and a. large portion of the com pany's lines were patrolled by police. The demonstration against the cars ex- tended throughout the city and were more violent than on any night of the trouble President Campbell of he company to-day demanded that the riot act be read and the crowd dispersed and this will probably be done to-mor- row night The chief danger now Is feared outside the city limits where tracks on grades have been greased the last two nights.

The following were nominated at to-night's session: Sec retary of state, J. s. Stern; attorney 1 general, Horace M. Oren; treasurer

 The Daffy News says it hears from 5 good source that the Italian ambassa- dor at Paris County Ternicolli di Yer gini had obtained assurances from the government in January that Colonel Henry's forgery should be withheld from publication; but, the newspapers getting hold of the contents of the doc- ument, M. Cavaignac was confronted with the choice of either exposing Col onel Henry or having the matter expos ed from the outside. The paper also says it is alleged that Noraher was found in the prison cell after Colonel Henry committed suicide and it is sug- gested that he was assassinated.

MT. Hazards Condition.

Dedham, Mass, Sept. 21.-There ap- pears to be but little change to-day in the condition of Hon. Thomas F.

PROCEEDINGS IN DETAIL.
The Bitter Fight Over the An-Impor-
 tant Preambles.

Bridgeport, Sept. 21.-In the after moon session of the democratic state convention here to-day there occurred one of the hottest contests ever held 1n a public meeting in Connecticut. The fight was between those who favor the insertion in the state platform of a sil- yer plank and those who favor con- promising plank, favoring neither gold nor silver. At 1:15 the convention was called to order after a recess was taken after the temporary organization. The report of the committee on resolutions was called for and that committee an- nounced that it was not yet ready to report A recess was then taken until 2:15. At that time the convention was again called to order and the commit tee on permanent organization reported the name of William Kennedy of Nau- gatuck as permanent chairman. The report was adopted. Then came the report of the committee on credentials. This committee reported that it had decided to recommend the adoption of the list of delegates as prepared by the state central committee. The re- port was adopted without the list of delegates admitted by the state central committee being read.
 No protest was offered to this adop- tion, although later in the day there was considerable grumbling because the authority of the state central committee to deal with contesting delegations had not been questioned and full authority to deal with this matter delegated to the committee on credentials. When later in the afternoon the convention came to vote on the adoption of the nreamble to the platform, it was found that several delegates were not present and that their proxies names had not been reported to the committee on ere dentials and that the credentials for these proxies had not been issued.

Ex-AMBAssADoR HAY ARRIrEs.
No Formal Understanding Between
 This Country and England.


 New York, Sept 21,-The steamer Teutonic arrived to-day from Liverpool having many notables on board, includ- ing the new secretary of state, John c. Hay. When interviewed, Colonel Hay said that he knew of no formal under standing between the United States and Great Britain, but the relations between the two countries were satisfactory He did not think any alliance was con- templated The attitude of England during the war was strictly neutral At the same time England showed a great deal of friendship for the United States.
 Our naval victories, Colonel Hay said, surprised everybody abroad. They ex- pected Spain to put up a better fight. He did not think that our naval suc- cesses would lead the other countries to have their warships built here The czar's disarmament scheme Colonel Hay thought, was made in good faith. He said that if the czar accomplished what he had set out to do his name as the greatest ce-maker would go down in history. Colonel Hay will re- main in this city for a day or two.
 Ex- Minister Angel, who resigned to assume his duties as president of the Ann Arbor (N1ich) university. was ask ed about the American claims against Turkey. He replied: We made claims for the property of Americans destroy ed, as did also the other powers. The sultan in his answer to all denied re- sponsibility for the damages, saying that they occurred during a time of general riot, and intimated that Fur key had claims because soldiers had been killed during the troubles. I do not think that the claims will be paid without some demonstration of force.''
