AMERICANS GAIN IN SHANGHAI.

Washington, Dec. 81. The an
nUuncement that the extension of the
foreign concessions at Shanghai,
China, has been finally approved brings
10 close diplomatic controversy be-
tween Great Britain and the United
States and France which at times be-
came rather acute, France taking the
position at one stage of the nogotia-
tons that the cooperation with the
British in opposing the French plan of
extension was an unfriendly &C. to-
wards France. This and the other diff
ferences have been happily adjusted,
according to announcements from Chi
ma, which are borne out by infolma.

The controversy assumed an inter-
national scope when the three colo

sought to extend their linz

the old native city, and lie along the
river Chang Poo, near the point where
II joins the Yang-tse Kiang. The? are
chiefly important because Shanghai is
the foremost port of entry for foreign
trade in the Chinese empire. The
French settlement Is nearest the city,

MARYLAND DEMOCRATS.
They are Harmonious and Cheer for Colonel
BRYAN.

Baltimore, Md, June 6.-The Demo-
Gratis of Maryland in state convention
selected a delegation to Kansas City,
adopted a platform which leaves the
delegates uninstructed, but declares
that William j. Bryan is the choice of
the Democrats of the state of Mary
land. Imperialism is condemned, large
standing army depiored, and it is sug-
gested that the Democrats everywhere
lay aside differences on the currency
question and unite in an effort to stay
the overwhelming progress Of radical
errors regarding the nature of our gov
ernment, inaugurated by President Nc
Kinley and the Republican party. The
following delegates at large were cho-
sen: Gov. John Walter Smith, State
gressman Joshua w. Miles and Col. l..
Victor Baughman.
Parkersburg, w. Va, June 6.-The
Democratic state convention met to-
day with the largest attendance ever
known at political gathering in this
state. The convention is marked by the
reunion Of factions not in harmony for
some years. Former Senator Henry G.
Davis, temporary chairman, made a
plea for harmony and the avoidance of
extreme or radical declarations on
which there might be serious differ
ence Mr.. Davis eulogized Bryan,
whose name was most enthusiast stfcal1y
received.

Indianapolis, Ind, June 6.-Samuel
M. Ralston, chairman of the state DEM
ocratic convention, in the course of a
speech to-day, said: mo man need
apologize for fighting under the banne,
If w. j. Bryan" Every delegate sprang
to his feet, waved his hands, and the
cheering for Bryan continued three
minutes. John W. Kern was nominated
for governor on the first ballot.
A letter from B. T. Shiveley was read
declining to be candidate. The ballot
for governor resulted: Kern, 819h;
Burke, 369A; Bozarth, Al; compliment
lry vote for Shiveley, 1924; necessary

iegance to the principles of the Chica-
go platform; indorses Bryan; says the
"corrupting influences Of the colonial
dominion already brought disgrace up
on the Republican party, the usurped
and dictatorial power of which has al.
ready reached the danger line;" de.
nounces the Hay-Pauncefote treaty as
an abject surrender to England.

AGAINST CITY, MACHINES.
Missouri Democrats Turn Down the St
Louis Organization.

Kansas City, June 6.-The Democrat
ic convention named the committees to-
day. The complexion of the credentials
committee makes it certain that fight
against the police machines at st. Louis
and Kansas City will be conducted to
the bitter end. The convention adopted
a resolution thanking congress, partic-
ularly Senators Cockrell and Vest, for
the passage of the st. Louis worlds
fair bill.
The credentials committee, which
blocked the work of the gathering all
day yesterday, was ready to report.
The committee had been in session till
after midnight, and found against po-
lice machines both here and at st.
Louis.
The credentials committee report was
adopted without debate. The platform
adopted reaffirms the Chicago platform,
arraigns the Republican party as guilty
of hypocrisy in dealing with trusts, and
deprecates the war for conquest" and
pledges Missouri for Bryan. Chairman
Cowherd nominated Congressman A.
M. Dockery for governor. Dockery was
. nominated by reclamation. The conven-
ton went wild as he mounted the plat
form to make the speech of acceptance.
John A. Lee, of st. Louis, was nomi-
mated for lieutenant governor on the
third ballot. Lee was for twenty years
travelling salesman, and for four years
was national president Of the Travellers
Protective Association.

BERBALlLLO COUNTY PROSPERING.
Bon. Epimsnio R. Miera Believes the Re-
publioans Will Garry the County.

Hon. Epimenio r. Miera chairman OF
the board of county commissioners of
Bernalillo county, whose home is in the
western part Of that county, has been
spending a few days in the city attend
ing the capitol dedication ceremonies
and visiting relatives Mr. Miera tells
a most glowing story of the material
progress of his section. The range is
fine and water is plentiful. Lambing
has been successful, and the increase
has averaged 95 per cent.
The acreage put in this spring in
crops has materially increased, and the
farmers expect a good season. Many
fruit trees have been set out by the
settlers and by the people of that Sec
tion, and many new settlers are arriv-
ing. There is plenty Of fine timber all
over that country, and this is being
utilized, sawmills being in successful
operation.
There are very few cattle; It is now
essentially a sheep-raising country.
Wages are good, and every man who
wants work can procure 1t.
Politically, Mr.. Miera is OF the opin-
ion that the Republicans will carry
Bernalillo by very handsome major
ity. People are prosperous and we'll
satisfied with the national policy. with
the territorial administration and with
the management Of Bernalillo county
affairs, all being in the hands of Repub-
lican officials.

CHAPELLE TO Be 4 CARDINAL.
Information Received at Washington to
That Effect.

Dispatches from Washington state
that Archbishop Chapelle Is to be Gre
ated a cardinal by the pope. The arch
bishop, who was at one time archbishop
Of the diocese of Santa Fe, and resided
here several years, Is now in the Phil
ippine islands as the papal delegate
from the United States He will be al
lowed to retain his see of New Orleans,
and will be made the titular pastor of
one of the churches at Rome. The ap-
pointment, when made, gives the Unit
ed States another cardinal, and there
fore two votes in the college Of cardi-
nails, which elects the pope. The rise of
Archbishop Chapelle in the Roman
Catholic church has been almost with
out precedent. 1t was only compare
lively short time ago that he was pas
tor of church at Washington, and was
advanced rapidly. He was made doc
tor of theology in Rome, created bishop
and then archbishop, and soon after
ward was promoted to the archbishop
ric of New Orleans. At the close Of the

General Butler Evacuated Utrecht and Con-
cluded Three Days Armistice With
General Botha-Lord Roberts Re-
ceived With Enthusiasm.

London, June 6-Lord Roberts tele.
graphed the war office:
Pretoria, June 5.-The occupation OF
the town passed off most satisfactorily
The British flag is now hoisted on tor
of the government offices. The troops
met more enthusiastic reception thar
I had anticipated"
London, June 6.-Until the situation
in the neighborhood of Pretoria is set
tied, officials here, as well as others
will find difficulty in prognosticating
Lord Roberts immediate program. II
appears evident that the Boer COM
mander in chief General Botha, with
all his guns, withdrew in good order,
probably along the Delagoa bay rail-
road, with a view of joining President
Kruger. So the Transvaal forces re-
main practically intact, with Presidents
Kruger, Steyn, General Botha and Sec
retary of State Reitz safe in a position
to continue the direction of affairs. The
more optimistic see in the fact that
Kruger's and Botha's wives were left
ident does not count on long resist
ance. In any case, it will probably take
Roberts a week to organize the CAM
paign of pursuit.
AN ARMISTICE.
A special dispatch from Lorenzo Mar
ques, dated June S, says: General Bull
Ter and Christian Botha met at Laing's
Mex at Buffers request, when a three
days armistice was agreed upon" The
dispatch adds that the British evacuat-
ed Utrecht.
BRITISH BATTALION SURREN-
DERS.
Pretoria, June 6.-Five hundred Brit
ish yeomen were surrounded by the
Beers and made prisoners. The surren-
dered forces were part of the 18th i'm
perial yeomanry. On Lord Roberts re-
ceiving the information that the battal-
ion had been attacked he ordered Me-
thuen to proceed with all speed to
Kroonstadt. Methuen marched forty
four miles in twenty-five hours, but
was too late to rescue Colonel Sprague's s
yeomanry. Methuen attacked the
Beers, who We're between 1000 and 5000
strong and after running fight of five
hours completely routed them.

4 LAS VEGAS JURIST.
Judge sulzbachsr Appointed to a Rsspon.
sible Position,

The appointment Of Louis Sulzbacher,
member of the Las Vegas bar. and ex-
probate Judge of San Miguel county, to
the responsible position of assoclet te
justice of the United States court in
Porto Rico, mentioned in the New Meg
leans dispatches a few days ago, is
generally attributed to the efforts Of
Hon. S. B. Elkins. Senator Elkins has
been making frequent calls at the white
house Of late. and on recent occasion
Judge Sulzbacher accompanied him and
had personal interview with the pres
ident. The appolntee's knowledge of the
Spanish language doubtless had much
weight in influencing the presidents ac-
tion.
