A RIOTOUS CONVENTION.
Massachusetts Democrats Make Work
For Strong Police Force.


For Strong Police Force.
Boston, Sept 22.--The riotous scenes
and the bitter fights between the two
factions of the Democratic party of
this state which characterized the all
night session in Music Hall here in
1896 and that at Worcester the follow
ing year were renewed with even
greater bitterness at the annual con-
vention of the state Democracy in
Mechanics Hall yesterdE. There was
hardly moment after the speeches Of
the temporary and permanent presid-
ing officers were co & luded when there
was quiet and harmony in any degree.
At times the entire delegation was
upon it's feet, the members standing
On chairs and tables, shouting in the
heat of passion some denunciatory re-
marks at the chairman or the person
who was endeavoring to speak upon
the platform.
At this time it seemed as though
even the force of 100 policemen in the
hall would be of no avail, so impas-
stoned were those upon the floor, and
the climax came when, at the request
of the chairman, the captain of police
appeared upon the platform and placed
his hand upon Congressman John r.
Fitzgerald, in readiness to forcibly re-
move him from the platform had he
not subsided.
The cause of the tumult was the
question before the body accepting the
action of the state committee in pre-
senting a list of delegates to the ma
tional convention The committee won.
The state ticket follows; For gov
ernor, Robert Treat Paine, Jr., of
Boston; lieutenant governor, John H.
Mack of North Adams attorney gem
eral, John S. Morrison of Lowell; state
auditor, w. L. Ramsdell of Lynn; sec
retary of state, Harry Lloyd Of Boston;

Bristol, r. l.. Sept. 22.-The Colum-
bia left for a sail down the bay yes
terday, going out under mainsail, jib
and club topsails. She sailed down
toward Newport, and on her way met
the Defender coming up. Immediately
the yachts started in for a brush,
racing up the coast for a distance of
nearly six miles. Although the De-
fender was pushed hard, she was over
half mile behind at the end of the
run. The sailing was all to the wind
ward. Rain caused a sudden termina-

PRESIDENT sTEYN's SPEECH.


II Commits the Orange Free sbaue to
the TrRnsvAaI's support.
Bloemfontein, Orange Free State,
Sept. 22.-The volksraad met yesterday
with a full attendance. President
Steyn read carefully prepared speech
in which he expressed regret that the
relations between Great Britain and
the TFansYaal had become strained.
The members. he said, were aware Of
the meeting of Sir Alfred Milner and
President Kruger at Bloemfontein,
when President Kruger made proposals
which, although refused by the Brit
ish high commissioner, were unani-
mously considered throughout the Or
ange Free State to be exceedingly fair.
President Steyn said the Transvaal
had been deooyed by the British diplo-
matte agent at Pretoria, Conyngham
Greene, and he practically accused the
imperial government of a breach of
faith. He said he was disinclined to
advise the Transvaal government to
accept the latest British demands. The
present critical state OF affairs could
not be a matter of Indifference to the
Orange Free State. which was bound
by treaty to afford assistance to the
Transvaal, and he had, therefore, con-
vened the volksraad to decide what
attitude should be taken.
There is nothing" declared the
president, that warrants war or an
attack upon the Transvaal Such DIFF
ferences as exist can be solved by ar
bitration. War would be an insult to
religion and civilization"
In conclusion President Steyn said
he would take this opportunity of lay
ing certain draft laws before the volks-
raad for consideration, praying God
to give the members strength to pass
resolutions not only conducive to
peace and prosperity, but also in the
interest of their beloved state.
Immediately after the speech Presi-
dent Steyn asked the volksraad to go
into secret session. which was agreed
to unanimously.

AN ONINOUS OUTLOOK
The Orange Free State Bound to
Support the Transvaal.
SPEECH OF PRESIDENT sTEYN.

He Reminas the volksraad OF Their
Treaty Obligation, and Practically
Charges the British Government
with Breach of FaIthw itA I'rausvaal
London Sept. 22.-Whue the pre-
else result of the secret session of the
raad of the Orange Free state is not
yet known here, President SteyG's
speech at the opening of the session
is regarded as an almost infallible in
dlcation of the attitude which the Free
State will take. Commenting from
this point of view, the London morn
ing papers are all impressed with the
added gravity of the situation, and
murmurs are beginning to be heard re-
gardlng the dilatoriness OF the govern
ment in getting troops forward.
The government is faced with some
thing like a dilemma. The leader of
the opposition has publicly denounced
the precipitancy of the colonial office
in forcing a conflict. Therefore, min
listers are disinclined to convoke- par
lament. If, on the other hand, so
large an expenditure as the apparent
attitude of the Orange Free State
would involve should become neces-
sary the government would be obliged
to summon parliament in order to get
adequate supplies. II Is understood
that the money question accounts for
the dribbling manner in which the
troops are being forwarded.
German military experts, realizing
the seriousness of the campaign before
Great Britain, are commenting with
astonishment upon the fact that Eng
land is so behind in her preparations.
In Berlin 1t is also believed that DR..
Leyds is acting as President Kruger s
evil genius and misleading him by re-
ports that he is likely to get SYM
pathy, IL not assistance, from some of
the European powers.
No member of the Cape cabinet was
present at the meeting of the Afrikan-
der members of the Cape parliament
yesterday.
