The plaintiffs demurrer in two cases in suits brought by the New Haven Trust company against John w. Gaf- fey and Charles H. Seymour, and others of Waterbury, was sustained in deci- sion by Judge Thayer of the superior court yesterday. These are some of the Connecticut Indemnity Insurance com pany suits brought by the Trust com pany as receiver, for payment or the balance to par value of stock subscribed by the defendants. The defendants in each instance allege that the stock was sold to them below par, that it had no real value, and therefore was an illegal transaction, as they received no com pensa ton for their money. The plain- tiff claimed in demurrer that when they subscribed for the stock they assumed responsibility for it's par value. rms contention is upheld by the court.

Four CONTESTS SCHEDULED.
Democrats of Montana, Two Terri
tories and the District Dispute.

Kansas City. June $3.50 far as the
Democratic National Committee is ~
formed the convention will have four
contests 10 decide. Only one of these con-
troveries involves state delegation Two
of the others refer to the representation
of territories and the other TO the District
of Columbia.
The state contest is over the representa-
tion from Montana, and the two territories
involved are Oklahoma and Indian Terri
tory. The greatest interest centers in the
Montana contention, because il is con-
tinuauce of the Clark DAILY feud, which
found such bitter expression during the
last session of Congress in the fight over
the seat of Hon. w. A Clark, in the Unit
ed States Senate. The advance guards
OF both factions are already here and they
are quite busy in presenting their respec-
tive claims TO recognition. Senator Clark
VIII head the delegation bearing his name,
while the DAILY delegation is led by Hon.
Martin Magnnis, who received Gov.
Smiths appointment as senator, as Mr..
Clark received the appointment of Lieut..
Gov. Sprigg in the absence of the Gov
ernOr
IN this contest both the Clark people
and the DAILY people claim regularity.
They held separate state conventions, and
both were in Butte on the same day. Some
technicalities are involved in the case. but
it is essentially Il fight for supremacy in
the party in the state, and it bids fair to
be very bitterly contested.
In the case of the District of Columbia
the factions are known as the Norris"
and "Holmead." The regular delegation is
headed by National Committeeman James
l.. Norris while William Holmead gives
name TO and is a member OF the contest
ing delegation. Holmeads people allese
gross fraud in the election of the regulars.
In the Oklahoma contest the factions
are known as the Sipes and Jacobs fac
tions.
The Indian Territory controversy is
based upon fight over the membership
of the National Committee. This position
is now held by Thomas NJ. Marcum. Both
delegations were chosen by separate ter
ritorial conventions held in Ardmore on
June II and both claim TO be regular.
The National Committee will sit next
Monday to decide which delegation in each
of these cases shall be given seats in the
temporary organization of the convention.

Taku. June 27.-Admral Kempff opposed
the policy of attacking the Chinese army
unless they began hostilities. 1t is now
admitted that the Powers attacking the
forts turned the Chinese into allies with
the Boxers. Americans think this might
have been avoided. Admiral Kempff has
held aloof from hostilities beyond move

The forces ashore now number 5000. of
which $500 are British, 1900 German. 400
Russian, $500 Japanese, and the remainder
Amerisan. French, Italian and Austrian.

Silver Men Rely on Him to Pro-
nounce for Their view.
Kansas City, June 30.-The question of
the character of the platform to be adopt
ed by. the Democratic Convention is re-
ceiving more attention among the dele
cations and the prominent Democrats
who have arrived in Kansas City than
any other problem which has yet present
ed itself The issue is over the point as
70 whether there shall be a distinct de-
claration for the free coinage of silver
at the ratio of 16 to l.
The draft of the platform as so far
made goes no further than brief re-
affirmation of the Chicago resolutions,
and 1t is understood that the leaders who
are here and who are giving attention to
the platform nave concluded that this
VIII be sufficient to meet, Ail the de-
mahds OF the occasion. They
agree, however, that the work so far done
is tentative to admitting freely that the
Committee on Resolutions and especially
the convention itself is liable to change
the present plan in many particulars. The
impression is growing that the convention
will be body quite determined to shape
its own course, and that II will not ac-
cept any prepared programme unless 1t
be to the liking of Il delegates.
The extreme silver men are counting
very confidently upon the aid of Mr..
! 3yan, and all the reports received from
him indicate that he will not disappolnt
them, but that he will take a position for
a specific declaration for the old ratio.
