Lexington Ky, July 19.-Only one
thing appears to be down on the cards
for certainty in the Democratic state
convention, which meets here today to
nominate a candidate for governor.
That is an extremely well defined and
well developed opposition to Governor
Beckham's ambitions for the guber-
Material nomination. This opposi-
ton is based on the allegation that
Beckham is committed TO the Goebel
election law.
While the opposition is not as strong
on the question of organizing the con-
yention as on the issue for the modi-
hcation of the Goebel election law. vet
the field will make its first stand on
the first business in order. If beaten
In the organization the opposition

adopted. The platform Will be dis
posed of before nominating. II beaten
on all these motions and in the COM
mittees it is not likely that the oppo-
sition will present the names Of any
OF those in the field against Beckham.

FOREIGN MINISTER'S
MAY BIZ IN CHING'S,CARE

Washington, July 19.-Administra-
tion officials and others in Washing
ton are suspicious of the statements
contained in a dispatch from Brussels
saying that the members Of the lega-
tons at Pekin were i'm Prince Chings
palace. They hope it is accurate, but
they are disposed TO accept it, like
much other information coming
through Chinese sources, with
marked degree Of reservation. If it
is correct that they are safe in Prince
Ching's palace that is a cause for con-
graduation. for the prince is well
known to be pro-foreign in his ideas
and his influence in Chinese affairs up
to a recent period has been paramount.
