NAVAL VETERANS.
Spanish War Resolution Causes q
SDlit

Spilt.
Philadelphia, Sept. 6.--There were
lively times at to-day's session of the
14th annual convention of the National
Association of Naval Veterans. A reso-
luton providing for the admission of
participants in the Spanish war to
membership in the association started
rumpus, and the result was that there
is now split IN the organization.
At the convention in Cincinnati last
September the resolution above mem
toned was introduced and, under the
rules were laid over to this year. When
the resolution came before the asso-
citation to-day everybody was ready to
fight for or agaiust{it. The leader of the
forces in favor of the proposition was
Past Rear Admiral B. s.. Osborne OF
Chicago. He delivered passionate ad-
dress. in which he said the Naval Vet
erans' association should be perpetu-
ated by admitting the men of the late
war and not let the organization die
with the veterans of the civil war.
He was followed by Surgeon A. Il.
Shertzer of Baltimore, who stoutly
maintained that the association was or
ganized for the sailors of the civil war
only and that it should die with them
Other speeches were made and the
vote of the organization was over
whelmingly against admitting the men
When the result was announced the
Farragut delegates from New York and
the delegates from the Admiral HoggS
association of Newark, n. j., walked
out in a body. 1t is the intention to
start an opposition association to be
known as the United States Veteran
Navy and the headquarters Will prob
ably be in New York city. The boilers
claim that they will get nearly 200
members from the Naval Veterans as
sociation and will admit to membership
all those who were in the navy during
the Spanish war.
Outside of this episode the convention
was an harmonious one. Rear Admiral
Foss of Minneapolis was in the chair
and made a very able address. A reso-
luton was adopted abolishing the title
of rear admiral and giving the highest
officer in the association the title or
commodore commanding. The propo-
sition to parade with the Grand Army
of the Republic each year was defeated,
as was also a resolution providing for
the organization of a beneficial society
within the association.

Victoria, B. c., Sept. 6.-The steamer

this morning, reports that Robert Mil
Ter, the American charged with the
murder of H. n. Ward and two Japan

fenced to be executed at Yokohama

owing to the fact that it was the first

IN FAVOR OF GOLD.
The American Bankers Association Makes
a Declaration.

Cleveland, Sept. 6.-The American Bank
ers' association put itself on record un-
euuivocaly in favor of the gold standard
to-day by adopting a resolution, the
meaning of which nobody can mistake
That action. taken in connection with the
placing of Colonel Myron T. Herrick,
President MCKinley's close friend, in line
for the presidency of the association in
1901 made it quite a day for the national
administration.
The adoption of the gold standard reso-
luton was not perhaps a surprise. the
association is a sound money body from
end to end. Heretofore all attempts to
induce the association to take any action
which might be regarded as OF political
character have failed, but to-day the view
was taken that the money question was
one which ought to be elevated above poll
tics. So when the resolution was
brought forward, the association torsot
its historical conservatism and voted toI
the declaration enthusiastically and
unanimously.
