MARYLAND POLITICS.
Five CONGREGATIONAL Cony entions In
Session Yesterday.


Baltimore, Sept 14.-Five congressional
conventions were held I'm Maryland to-
day-four Democratic and one Republi-
can. In the former, without exception
the free silver question was tabooed.
The Fifth district Democratic met at
Laurel, near the home of Senator Cor.
man. and nominated John S. Cummings
a young lawyer of Catonsville. Mr.. Cor
man is in New York at present and did
not attend. The platform adopted made
no mention of the currency question.
The Second District Democrats met at
Elkton and nominated Nicholas S. Stee.e.
of Carroll County His most formidable
opponent before the convention was ex-
Congressman Fred c. Talbot The reso-
lutions named an equal coinage of gold
and silver on a straddle basis.
In the Third district the Democratic
standard bearer Will be DIR. j. B. Schwat-
ka, who, though he voted for Bryan, is
not an ardent silver man
In the Fourth district Major James w
Denny. an out-and-out gold advocate
was selected.
The Republicans of the Sixth district
which includes the homes of Senators
Wellington and McComas are in con-
vention at Frederick. Owing to the nu-
merous candidates and factional fights
a nomination will not probably be mada
for several days.

General Aguinaldo viii please to gather
up his effects and vacate the island OF
I.uzon. What if he chooses to continue
his dictatorship in the other islands?
This nation can hardly dare interfere with
such a proceeding, and Spain is unable to
do it. even if the arms should be restored
to the Spanish troops at Manila, who are
not prisoners of war except for the pur-
pose of drawing American rations. If oui
control is 70 be limited to Luzon, 1t is
not our concern if the natives overthrow
Spanish sovereignty in the other islands
and set up a dictator of their own. The
situation would be much less complicated
if we should take the whole group.

Saratoga, N Y, Sept. 14.-Gen. Stewart
L. Woodford ex-minister to Spain, ad-
dressed the meeting in the interest of the
reorganization of the Republican League
Clubs of New York State this afternoon.
Gen. Woodford spoke briefly upon the
necessity of Republican victory in the
State this Autumn.
On the war and touching colonial ex
pansion, Gen. Woodford delivered HIM
self as follows:
I'VE, the Republicans of the United
States, and We alone are responsible for
the settlement that we shall make of the
issues of this war. We have the power
and ours, therefore. is and must be the
responsibility. We cannot eyade it if We
would. For one, | would not evade il If
we could.
..Our flag is in Cuba, and we must see
that the people of Cuba have a free and
stable government that shall secure pro-
lection to person and property and en-
able that fairest and most fertile of the
islands of the gulf to enjoy all possible
| development and prosperity.
''Our flag is in Porto Rico by right of
conquest, and the island must remain
American.
our nag IS III tne fniilpPlnSS. VIII
not say that wherever our flag has gone
there our dag must stay. but this / will
say, that wherever our flag has gone,
there the liberty, humanity and the civili-
"a ion which that flag embodies and rep
reSentS must stay and abide forever.
Whatever our nation should do to fulfil
this obligation, that our nation must do.
Whatever Island we should hold to en-
force this obligation, that island we must
hold. Whatever the case, the burden and
the responsibility, God and fate have set
an open door before us, and through that
gateway We must go, facing all the future
has in store Upon this nation the re-
sponsibility is placed, and to the Repub-
lican party is given this great trust for
the future and humanity"

GOING TO HAVANA.
The steamer whitney VIII Make an
Experimental Trip.

Experimental Trip.
New Orleans, Sept. 1.-THE Morgan
Line steamship Whitney will leave here
Friday for Havana with a cargo of cat
tie and a number of cabin passengers
The trip is rather an experimental one,
as the Morgan steamer will not begin
running regularly to Havana until the
American possession is assured.
]. B. Sinnott, who went down to Ha-
Tana to examine the commercial condi-
tions there and see what were the
chances of extending the trade of New
Orleans in Havana, has just returned
and confirms the report of extortion there
and the impossibility of doing business
under the present duties. The present
state of affairs at the custom house, he
said, lis prohibitive, as far as any mer-
camille ventures are concerned We will
have to wait and see what the Cuban
Commission does. The Commission ought
at once to GUST the Spanish pirates now
in control of the Havana custom house
and take charge of it,
Mr.. Sinnott thought the American re-
lief work in Havana was doing harm.
II is sentimental folly, he said and is
simply putting a premium on mendican-
cy Speaking of the present general as
pect of Havana, Mr.. Sinnott said:
THE city was never gayer. You could
hardly believe there had been a war
from the throngs of fashionably dressed
and laughing people you meet on the
streets. Money seems to be plenty and
goods of all kinds are pouring in, al
though the merchants are buying very
little just now, owing to the quantities
of merchandise sent there on consign-
ment The soldier is everywhere in evil
dence, and saw but few Americans.
They excite good deal of curiosity on
the streets, but there are no expressions
of i'll Will.

MIR. PoRTER's HARD FIGHT.
1t Surprises the Partisnns Of Senator
LounshurS.

New Haven, Conn, Sept. 1.-THE Re
publican State convention convened in the
Hyperion Theater in this city "a O'Clock
tonight. Congressman n. d. Sperry was
the temporary chairman. Caucusses were
held and the committee on credentials re-
ported. and then the convention adjourned
till tomorrow.
The fight that has been put up by john
Addison Porter, President Mex nley's sc
retary, to secure the gubernatorial nomi-
nation, has surprised the hackers of Sen
ator George E. Lounsbury, of Ridgefe,d
who is credited with being the machine
candidate. The Lounsbury men claim a
majority on the first ballot, but the Por-
ter men say they boast without reason
There is one other candidate in the field
he being Lieu. Gov. James d. Deweil. OF
this city. and the Porter men say h vii
have the balance Of power in the conven-
ton. The DeweIl strength will go to Po--

Japan only echoes the opinion of Eng

Crushing ont Anarchy.
From the Troy Record.)

1t is not too much to say that anarchy could
never gain foothod in this country. Ameri-
cans have far different way of dealing with
crime than is shown by the officials of the ma
tions abroad Here nothing is recognized as so
formidable as TO be beyond the power of the
law. In Europe the strength of the anarchists
is found in the fear and inaction which has
marked the course pursued by administrative
justice. There has been too little OF the de-
cisive. and too great an amount of resignation.
II the turning point has now been reached, we
shall perhaps a change for the better in deal
ing with this grave question on the other side.

Had Judge Cooley been less prodigal of his
mental forces and more content to rest from in

have been spared the lamentable breaking down
of all his powers that shadowed the last months
of his life However that may have been, his
accomplishments have been of incalculabe value
to his State and country, and to every quarter
of the globe where Anglo-Saxon jurisdiction has

McCaslin Got Two Years

The jury returned verdict of guilty
in the trial of the State of Missouri vs..
McCaslin yesterday, after being out
about 80 minutes, fixing the punish
ment at two years in the penitentiary.
McCaslin lives near Centralia and is
charged with stealing fifteen head OF
cattle from 1. ]. Sims on the 9Th day
of April. McCaslin brought the cat
tie here and tried to sell them to T. J.
Hoxsey, but Mr.. Hoxsey's suspicious
were aroused and upon inquiry found
that the cattle had been stolen from 1.
J. Sims, who lives near Thompson.
The term of two years is considered
very light for such CRIME and Nc
Caslin's previous good reputation is all
that saved him from a longer term.

Sam j. Bovine Hurt.

The Centralia Courier says: Wedne g.
day morning Mr.. Sam ]. Bovine, one
of west Audrain's best citizens, met
with a very close call for his life at the
Wabash depot. He was standing on
the platform waiting for the accom-
mediation to take him to Mexico, when
the branch engine with a couple OF
cars passed the depot. Mr.. Bovine is
hard of hearing and did not notice the
train and was struck a glancing lick
on the shoulder and back of the head
by the projections of one OF the cars,
knocking him down and inflicting
scalp wound on the back of the head.
1t was thought that he was seriously
hurt at first, but he was taken to Dr.
Nc CalIister's office and rallied in
short while and was taken home. II
is not thought that any serious con-
sequences will result, as the skull was
not injured. It was a mighty close
shave for his life, and his many friends
are glad that he will soon be all right
again.
