cratic Caucus

Nominated by Acclamation in the Demo-
cratic Caucus.
NASHVILLE. Jan. 9.-Hon. r. B.
Craig was to day nominated by the
Democratic joint caucus of the Leg
islature as candidate for State
Treasurer. His nomination was
made by acclamation before the

sentiment of the caucus was so over
whelmingly in his favor that towards
the end of the roll call the other
candidates dropped out rapidly.
This makes the fourth time that
Mr.. Craig has been nominated for
Treasurer.
Five ballots were cast for Comp
troller but no election was had. The
following names were placed before
the caucus: Frank Dibrell, of White
county; Capt. P. w. Crouch, of Dav-
idson; jeff d. Hunt, of Madison

ballot resulted: King 33, Hunt 20,

THE Filipinos are becoming more
defiant in their attitude toward the

render the Spanish prisoners, under
the terms of the Spanish treaty, be-
cause it would seem an act OF sub

prisoners. The new Filipino Cabi-

When the 'round robin" flew into the

rotary. Begging the pardon Of the general
and assistant, this has not been done.
Some very important information has not
been given to the public, data that lie
behind the Filipino outbreak and var ana
which are essential to the formation of
any just judgment either Of the merits Of
our position or the dement's of the Fiji

out, it would reflect upon the course Of
the administration.
The following facts, in the possession Of
the state, the navy and the war depart

can form an accurate judgment without
them, Item: The report made to the
state department by Consul General
Platt and Consuls Wildman and Williams

Pine junta in Hong Kong prior to the
sailing of Admiral Dewey for Manila.

A PRIVATE AFFAIR.

The defeat of the representatives of two
American colleges by the representatives
of two English colleges in athletic con-
tests is an event which will, of course,
cause some of our people some little dis
appointment. The contest of Saturday
was merely a personal affair, and in no
sense national or International Oxford
and Cambridge may be the only first
class universities in England They GER
tainly are the only universities in that
country that are generally known out
side of the British islands. The same is
not in any sense or degree true of the
two American universities represented at
the Queens club grounds. These two COL
leges have no eminence in any direction
which justif1es their being chosen to rep
resent the United States IN any such con-
test. On the contrary, they have never
been able to represent American amateur
athletics as they should be represented
abroad. There are half dozen frst-class
American universities who could defeat
the men defeated in England, man for
man, in almost every form of athletic
contest. 1t is mere assumption which
puts them forward qualified to act on
behalf of American college athletes.
1t is not long since England sent out
here her best men in the athletic world.
They contested with the very best this
country could put forward. The result
was such as to elevate such athletic con-
tests to the high plane of international
popularity. Such contests are Of value as
national test. Contests such as that of
Saturday have no significance whatever
outside the personal interest they possess
to the adherents of these colleges re-
spectively. The attempt to elevate such
affairs to the dignity of international
events, which was plainly made by the
special prominence given TO the presence

NEW YORK. July 25-Hundreds of
delegates, representing the trades unions

day at the regular meeting of the Cen

At the meeting today Samuel Prince
president of the Central Federated union
presided. Master Workman John M. par,
sons and District Master Workman Pines
were among the speakers The former
spoke strongly in favor of the new politi-
cal movement. He said the time for
action had arrived, and that the unions
OF this city must either show their power
as American people or go down to de-
structfon. He asked that a treasurer ba
appointed to act as the trustee of tina,
fund in aid of the strikers. This was
done, and delegates of various unions
then pledged sums raging from 500 to $500
each and gave assurances of more money
if needed. 1t was decided also to insti-
tute boycott against the Second ave-
nue. line, the line affected in the present
strike in New York
