NOT Permitted TO Land
An Order for the Deportation Of
Fi.zllarris and Mullet.
Action Taken by Assistant Secretary
Taylor in Accordance With an
Opinion by the solicitor Of tho
Treasury In the Case of Pardoned
Convicts Detained ut New York.

| An order for the deportation OF FitzhSr-
ris. otherwise known as Skin the Goat"
and Mullett. the pardoned Irish convicts.
was signed yesterday by Assistant Secre-
tary Taylor OF the Treasury Department
This action was taken by the Assistant
Secretary in accordance with the opinion
of the Solicitor OF the Treasury to whom
the case was referred. The opinion Is to
tho effect that in accordance with the law
these men should be deported. 1t is said
that the attorney General. whose appro-
val of this opinion was asked. concurred
in Solicitor O'Conneli's vie~s>
The opinion OF Solicitor O'Connell. after
reviewing the case and noting the laws
and decisions bearing upon the question,
says in concluding:
II do not think the heinouS crime in
which Fitzharris and Mullett participated
and for which they were found guilty can
be justly termed political offence. and
therefore Disseminated from the ordinary
crime OF assassination and murder, and l
must therefore advise you that. after
careful consideration OF this case, 1t is my
opinion:
"First-That the crime for which Fitz-
harris and Mullett were convicted and
sentenced was murder IN the ordinary
sense and cannot be classed as political
offence
'.Second-That Fitzharris having only a
conditional pardon, could not have been
admitted even under the acts Of 1878 or
1882.
Third That Mullett, even II his par
don is full and unconditional, Is excluded
by the act of 1891.
"Fourth-That the action Of the Board
of inspectors denying a landing TO these
Immigrants, on the ground that they had
been convicted of felony. should be sus-
tained.''
Commissioner General Powderly,s deci-
sion was mailed to Commissioner Fitchfe
yesterday afternoon. The attorney for
Fftzharris and Mullett George NJ. Curtis,
will probably make fight In the courts
IL he can get hearing on the question OF
whether Assistant Secretary Taylor has
the right to approve this decision of the
Commissioner General as Assistant Sec
rotary. The law. it is claimed. ard prece-
be exercised by the Secretary only, or as
he designates his assistants acting Sec
rotary" In his absence or for the per-
Torrance OF certain acts. Secretary Gage
is ill. No authority has been given As
sistant Secretary Taylor to sign his name
as acting secretary" He signed his ap-
prevail as Assistant Secretary and the
question Of the legality Of the finding In
this case may delay the deportation Of
Fitzharris and Mullett.

THE supERposED ruRRETs.
A Decision Reached by the Naval
Beard Yesterday.


Two meetings was held yesterday by the
special board on construction ordered by
Secretary Long to consider the turre'
question in all its aspects and to report
whether superposed or ordinary turre's
should be installed on the battleshios
Pennsylvania. New Jersey. and Georgia,
and the two unnamed battlesh!ps author
ICED at the last session Of Congress. the
board on construction, composed of i've
members was increased for the occasion TO
thirteen. the additional eight being Of
ficers of high rank and the highest pro-
fessional standing whose views would,
Secretary Long believed, express the best
technical and tactical opinion Of the ser
vice.
After the regular board. by a vote OF
four to one, had reported in favor OF q
battery for the Pennsylvania, New Jersey.
and the Georgia, to be placed in ordinary
turrets, Rear Admiral Bradford. the M
nority member. filed q dissenting opinion.
in which he conteuded that the turret ques-
ton was tactical rather than one OF con-
struction, and should be determined by
naval tacticians. Secretary Long adopted
this view and appointed eight line officers
as special members OF the board Nearly
every one of these has commanded
battleship or armoret cruiser. and six OF
them commanded ships which g5t into
action in the war with Spain.
The board as it was composed yes.e:-
day consisted of Rear Admirals Rodgers,
Melville, o'Neil, Bradford, and Barker,
Captains H. c. Taylor, Clark. Sigsbee.
Chadwick, Converse, Brownson. and
Walker and Naval Constructor q. W.
Taylor, representing Rear Admiral HIGH
born, chief constructor, one OF the regular
members Of the board, who IS absent from
Washington. After the board had decided
the turret question it adjourned sine die.
It's report will be submitted to the Sec
rotary of the Navy very soon. Every mem
Der OF the board bound himself not to d.
vulge what had taken place at the three
sessions, one on Tuesday and two yester-
day. and the pledge is being observed with
unusual regard in the spirit as we'll as the
letter Of the compact. There Is very good
reason to believe, however. that the ma
jority in favor of the superposed turret
was overwhelming, being at least two to
one. An estimate based on some things
that have leaked out regarding the opip-
ions of individual members on the turret
question is nine in favor Of the superposed
loTrelS anu louF against. yearly every
additional member Of the board. 1t Is IN
derstood, voted for the superposed type.
Rear Admiral Melville, Engineer n-Chief
of the Navy, voted in the regular board
for the superpoeed turrets, OF which he
is heartily in favor, but when majority
of the regular board decided against the
double decked structure voted for the
battery arrangement, embracing six ordi-
nary turrets for each Of the battIeships
of the Pennsylvania class. 1t is probable,
therefore, that Admiral Melville returned
to his first love yesterday and voted for
the superposed type.

THE TEXAS DEMOCRATS.
Questions of Expansion Prominent
Before the State Convention.

Questions of Expansion PrOminen mt
Before the State Convention.
AUSTIN, Tex, June 2O.-The Demo-
cratic State Convention to name delegates
to the National Convention and Presi-
Dental electors from each Of thirteen Con-
gressional districts met here at noon to-
day. 1t was to be seen early in the
proceedings that a lively time would be
had over the expansion question. The
delegations held caucuses during the fore
noon to agree upon two delegates from
each district to the National Convention.
In two of these conventions bolts occurred
over the question of instructing for ex-
ransion or enti-expansion men.
The Committee on Resolutions is made
up OF one member from each senatorial
district the total membership being thirty
one. There are several ardent expansion
lists and anti-Bailey men on the committee,
and the issue has been the subject OF much
consideration. After the appointment OF
the Committee on Resolutions, Permanent
Organization. and SredentiaIs the re-
mainder OF the afternoon session was spent
in speechmaking. Judge John H. Reagan,
in response to an invitation from the con-
vention delivered vigorous speech in ad-
vocacy Of the retention Of the Philippines
ana the REMAINDER OF tne lsiand POSSES
sions.
Il do not agree with those who say
we ought not to acquire Cuba" he con-
tinued. 1.-THE result OF the war with Spain
places 1t within then power OF the United
States to do more Decentralization than any
nation has the power to do. 1t has heen
said we cannot acquire this territory with
out making States Of it. Why. the ter
ritory Of New Mexico asshad population
enough to make IA State for fifty years,
but we have not made her one. Talk
about giving self-government to the Porto
Ricans and the Fflipinos. Why. there is
not a sensible man in this convention
who does not know that these people are
not capable OF self government"
The convention held session tonight
and heard the report Of the Committee
on Credentials. Representative R. L.
Henry, Of Waco, is permanent chairman.
The convention will not finish its work
until tomorrow afternoon.

THE NOMINATION OF BRYAN.
VIII Yield the Honor to
but One Man.


LINCOLN, Neb.. June 20.-Nebraska
Democrats will not concede to California
the honor Of nominating Mr.. Bryan at
Kansas City. Mr.. Oldham, of Nebraska,
who was selected by Mr.. Bryan and the
State delegation, said tonight that he
would give way to but one Democrat in
the United States, and that Democrat is
David B. Hill, of New York, II he would
ask for the privilege. Mr.. Oldham thought
the nomination Of Bryan by Hill would
emphasize forcibly the nature Of the re-
union Of the Democratic party and he
would be content with scconding the nom
nation.
The arrangement is now that when the
name of Alabama. the first on the roll call
of States, is called, that delegation will
give to Nebraska Its right to the floor
and Oldham will step forward. II New
York. however, wants the honor, it can
have it for the mere asking.
