expected departure for Lincoln on the tel egraphic summons of MT. Bryan, caused little less than a sensation among the con- vention chiefs. The New Workers were as much mystified as others. As the over ture had come from MT. Bryan it was re- garded as another harbinger of that peace and reconciliation which is being indus triously sought by the party leaders.
 Its effect on the Hill Vice Presidential movement was problematical, with the in- dications that such an evidence of good feeling would strengthen the New York CT among those naturally most hostile to him, the devoted personal adherants of MT. Bryan, and of the cause on which he and MT. Hill differed so widely

The Boxer instruction is no longer spreading, but is declining, and maintained itself only in the province of Pc Chi Lii.

It will condemn trusts in un- measured terms, at the same time accuse the Republican party of fostering and maintaining them. The administration will also come in for strong censure for its policy in the Philippines, and it will be recommended that the Philippine archipel- ago be placed upon the same footing as Cuba. In the same connection there will be blanks denouncing militarism and im- perialism, and there will also be blanks on the income tax, good roads, civil serv- ice, pensions, etc., and strong express sion of sympathy with the Boers.

FOWLER
RESTRAINED.
u. S. District Court Pre-
vents Plaintiff From
Acting in the County
Court.

Trial of the $4,000 damage suit
of Thomas M. Fowler VS.. the Will
mington and Northern Railroad
Company will not come up at this
term OF the Superior Court, as Jas.
W. Ponder, counsel Tor the plaintiff
expected. Yesterday afternoon,
Lewis Z. Vandegriit, counsel for the
defendant company, obtained from
Judge Edward G. Bradford, an Or
der restraining Mr.. Ponder from
trying the case in any court until
alter pending action in the United
States District Court Of Delaware
is settled. The actionis unusual,
in TACT. it is the first time in the his
tory oil the New Castle County Courts
that such proceeding has been
taken. Mr.. Vandegrilt appeared
before the Superior Court this morn
ing and asked to file an additional
count TO his declaration. In the
count was mentioned the tact that
Judge Bradford had issued re.
strainlng order against the trial of
the case until the plaintiffs appear
before the United States District
Court to make due proof there that
they were injured to the extent OF
the amount of damages asked for.
The additional count further states
the cause OF the original action
that Fowler was on Dec. 6, 1898,
injured while aboard the defendant
companys tug boat Amanda Pow
ell. The Powell was towing a
barge up the river, when Fowler,
who was at work on the hawser
had his loot crushed by the rope
breaking aud catching his loot in
such way against the cleat as to
cause the injury mentioned.
Mr. Nandegrlft further contends
that the defendant Company owns
but sa half interest, $4,000, III the
tug; that Fowler was injured by
his own careiessness and that the
case IS not proper one for trial
in a civil court OF laws. the cause
of action occurred on the water, a
United States Court jurisdiction.
The injunction out of the United
States Court commands Mr.. Ponder
to appear before that tribunal on
or before June Is. to make answer
to Mr.. Vandegritts contention that
the damage claimed is excessive
and that the case should be tried
there.
Mr.. Ponder opposed the filing of
the count in the Superior Court this
morning and as the Court was
busily engaged in other matter his
motion was sustained. The count
was placed in the hands of Pro
thonotary Woolley, however. and
will be again presented to the Court
on Monday. That it will be ac-
ccpted by the court is a foregonc
conclusion. The continuance of the
case until after the Federal Court
action will then follow.
