PENNSYLVANIA DEMOCRATS.


HARRISBURG, Pa, June 13.-With fully
a score OF active aspirants for the Supreme
Court nomination there is no telling who
will secure the prize in to-morrow's state
Democratic convention. The selection OF
candidates for Superior Court judges and
state treasurer and the making of a plat
form have been entirely lost sight of in the
struggle for supreme Judge. There being
two judges to elect next November and no
elector being allowed TO vote for more than
one the Democracy for the first time in
many years enters the campaign with the
certainty OF election of at least one of its
nominees. The convention will convene in
the Opera House at noon tomorrow.
A. rough draft of the platform was pre-
pared at a meeting this afternoon by a sub
committee Of the legislative committee.
The platform will compliment the leader
ship of William j. Bryan, reaffirm the prin-
cples OF the Chicago platform and probably
criticse the management OF the War De-
partment and the Philippine campaign.
Governor Stone will be condemned for ap-
pointing Senator Quay TO the United States
Senate and making a reduction Of 81. oOO. 900
In the public school funds. The Republican
majority in the last Legislature will be CEN
sured for its failure TO pass reform legfsa-
ton and its efforts to block the investiga-
ton of the alleged bribery in connection
with the senatorship and the McCarrell
jury bill. There will probably be an anti
trust plank and a minute commencing the
leadership Of Colonel James NJ. Guffy. Penn
sylvania member Of the national Democratic
committee The platform will be larger
than usual and will deal largely with the
state issues.

MAZET COMMITTEE INQUIRY.
Big Corporations Underassessed-A
Tammanyite's Statement.

NEW YORK, June 1.-THE main testt-
mony before the Mazet committee to-day
was that produced by the inquiry into the
methods of the tax department. Mr.. Moss
closely questioned Tax Commissioner VIII
liam T. Gron to ascertain whether the oil.
sugar and tobacco combines were paying
their share of the taxes on personal prop
erty held by the trustees. Mr.. Groll sug-
gested that perhaps their personal prop
erty had already been taxed in the property
of the corporation and not as personal
property in the hands of trustees. Mr..
Moss told him to find out and report to-
morrow. The witness was then confronted
with the official record of the Standard
OILS total gross assets. The amount was
sz7.00o00o. sworn TO by the company. OF
the real estate was 100000. Mr.. Moss
showed that the assessment on the COM
pany's personal property was only 500 600.
He asked the witness to explain this, but
Mr. Groll failed to do so. He figured at
fe" as low as s, 5000. but could not not get "t it
Mr.. Moss read the return made by the
American Sugar Refining Company. II

CRUISER NEWARK SAFE,
Driven by a Gale Into an Island Port
with Coal supply Exhausted.

SANTIAGO. Chile. June 1a-The United
States cruiser Newark is safe. She has
been detained In Smith channel owing to
lack of COAL Two of her steam launches
have arrived at Ancud, port of Chile on
the north coast of the province Of Chloe
WASHINGTON, June 1.-THE following
cablegram, dated Castro, Chile, has been
received at the Navy Department from
Commander Goodrich, of the Newark:
'"rhe Newark arrived at Guacanek island
in want of coal. Am making arrangements
for supply to be sent from Ancud, Chile.
Expect to sail within few days"
Guacanek island Is on the north side of
Guaitecas, one of group of islands on
the west coast of Patagonia in latitude 1880
south. longitude ia west, and is about 800
miles north of the Straits Of Magellan. The
State Department has also received a re-
port on the same subject from United States
Minister Wilson at Santiago. Chile. He in
forms the department that the Newark was
driven by a terrific gale into Port Low
Guaitecas. latitude 42:45. with coal supply
exhausted, but 1t Is believed both vessel
and crew are perfectly safe and damage
was done. The Chilean government has
just dispatched relief ships with coal and
supplies. There is no telegraphic communi-
cation with the island.
1t is evident to officials here that the
Newark had q narrow escape. Had she
been driven southwark past the entrance to
the straits by the storm with her lack of
ccal she might have been forced clear into
the Antarctic regions. This experience of
the Newark served to call attention again
to the great risk assumed by depriving war
vessels of all sail power. The immediate
effect of the Newark's experience may be to
cause the final abandonment of the original
plan to send her from Valparaiso straight
across the Pacific to Apia. Samoa, and it is
probable that if the Newark Is sent to
Samoa at all. she will not go from VAL
paraiso direct, but will find some mainland
port on the west side Of the continent much
nearer Apia.
