NOT BOUND TO LONG.
New Jersey Delegates Merely Con-
slider Him an Eligible Candidate.


PHILADELPHIA, June 19.-An effort
was made this morning to commit the
New Jersey delegation with a flatfooted
declaration in favor of Long. 1t so far
succeeded that the story that New Jersey
had passed resolution giving its unquali-
fled endorsement to the Secretary Of the
Navy was told on the street corners and
in the hotel corridors.
1t got into the afternoon newspapers.
and was shouted by the newsboys in the
streets. 1t was accepted without word
OF question as to its truth The few
members of the delegation who had op-
posed the endorsement Of Mr.. Long had
spoken strongly on the subject in the
warm debate which followed the spring
ing of the proposition, went around Wig
orously denying the truth Of the story.
But they made little Roadway. The story
had got too great a lead to be headed off
in that way, and became one of the incl
dents of the day.
And yet the New Jersey delegation did
not endorse Mr.. Long. The resolution,
which. after long debate. got through at
the meeting this morning. had string
on it. 1t simply read that 1t was the
present sense of the delegates from New
Jersey that Mr.. Long should have the
Vice Presidential nomination. but that the
resolution was in no sense caucus reSo-
luton, and was in no sense binding on
any of the members. 1t was Mr.. Com
mere, of Trenton. who introduced the
original resolution, and Senator Sewell
supported il.
Edward NJ Watson. of Jersey City. spoke
earnestly against it. 1t was too early. he
argued, to commit the delegation in any
way. 1t would be forty-eight hours be-
fore they would be called upon to cast
their votes for any Vice Presidential can
ddate. and great many things might
happen in forty-eight hours. Mr.. Watson
was followed by others in the same vein,
with the result that the Jersey delegates
resolved that they would vote for Long
If they felt like it.
Mr.. Watson said that primarily he was
in favor of a Jersey man for Vice Presi-
dent. but rs Jersey had no candidate he
wanted New Yorker-Theodore R0ose

Fix Basis OF Negotiations.

Paris, Oct. S.-The following official
note was issued:
The foreign minister has instruct
ed the representatives of France to
sound the powers whose troops are
cooperating with ours in the extreme
east regarding the adoption of a com
mon program for the negotiations with
China. Our representatives acquitted
themselves Of this mission and left
with the various foreign ministers o
copy of the following note:
I'm sending their forces to China
the powers proposed, first of all, to de-
liver their legations. Thanks to their
union and the valor of their troops,
this aim has been attained. It is now
question OF securing from the Chi
nese government, which has given
Prince Ching and Ii Hung Chang full
powers to negotiate and treat in its
name, suitable reparation for the past
and serious guarantees for the future.
Penetrated with the spirit which in
spired the previous declarations of the
different governments, the government
OF the republic believes 1t sums up
their real sentiments in the following
points. which it submits as a basis for
negotiations to be entered upon i'm
mediately after the usual verIficatiop
of the powers
Il. The punishment of the principal
culprits, who will be designated by
the representatives of the powers at
Pekin.
2. The maintenance of the prohi-
bition Of the import of arms.
g. Equitable indemnities to states,
societies and individuals.
a. The formation of q permanent
guard for Pesin legations.
SO. The dismantlement of the forth
fications.
%. Military occupation of two or
three points on the road from Tien-
tsin to Pekin, which would thus be al
ways open to the legations wishing to
go to the sea or to forces proceeding
to Pekin from the sea-
The note closes with the declare
ton that, presented collectively by
the representatives of the powers and
supported by the presence of the IN
ternational troops, it appears impos-
sible to the government Of the republic
that these conditions, which are so
legitimate, would not be accepted by
the Chinese government at an early
date.

New York, Oct. S.-lr--. Li,..cl
Smith, wife of Walter NJ. Smith, a
wealthy grocer living at Broadway

herself and her three children. She
and her son, Theodore years old,
were dead when found in the house.
Mable. 8 years old, and Ethel, IL
years old. were unconscious and were
taken to the Fordham hospital, where
Mabel died soon afterwards. Ethel
will probably recover. Homicdal
mania, suddenly developed, is the
only explanation offered. The hus-
band and father was so overcome by
the tragedy that he was Frustrated and
was under the care of physician. He
refused to leave the house, where the
bodies of his wife and little son
awaited the coroner.
Attention was first called to the
shooting when Mary Moore, Mrs.
Smiths maid, excitedly hailed po-
liceman who was passing. He hur-
riedly investigated and then sum
moned an ambulance. Mrs. Smith
was found with revolver still in her
hands. Two cartridges remained in
the weapon, showing that she had re-
loaded 1t after firing five shots, as
eight bullets were fired in ALL Two
Of these bullets had penetrated little
Mabels body. One bullet had suf-
feed to kill herself and one her son.
There was one bullet in Ethel's breast,
which the surgeons at the hospital ex-
tracted. The marks of three other
bullets were found in the walls of the
bedroom in which the girls had been
shot. On table in this bedroom the
police found three letters and a sheet
of paper. The letters were addressed
to the woman's husband. father. and
mother. On the sheet of paper, which
was neld in place by an inkstand, was
the following message:
Dear Walter: / am sorry for what
have done, and l beg that you will
pardon me. | have felt this impulse
coming on for long time to end a
life of misery. l wanted to end the
anguish and take my children with me,
You have always been good to me.
Good by. Lily"
Mr.. Smith, who is connected with
the wholesale firm of Austin Nichols
& Co., said he could not account for
the act of his wife unless 1t was sud
den mania caused by i'll health. They
had always lived happily.
