THEOHIODEMOCRACY
McLean-Kilbourne Element In
Complete Control.
STATE CONVENTION OPENS TODAY.
The Johnson Men Likely to Put Up
n Vigorous Fight Before the Conn
mittees, aud Nominations
May he Delayed.

COLUMBUS, o., July 10.-The Nc
Lean-Kilbourne element at the district
meetings secured control of all the com
mittees and will accordingly have every
hing their own way at the Democratic
tate convention today. They were so
trongly in the majority that there was
10 friction.
In the Twentieth and Twenty-first dis
ricts, which include Cleveland, the John
ON men had things their own way as
much as the Mclean men in the First
and Second districts, which include Gin
cinnati. But in the rural districts the
latter element had almost everything.
The controlling element did not ride
rough shod' over minorities in any of
the districts, but when names were pro-
posed for places on the committees there
were inquiries as to how they stood, and
if the replies were not satisfactory they
were excused in some cases as quiet
ly as jurors and in others with ballots.
The Mclean kilbourne element while
unusually courteous, made no conces-
sions The old state committee met
previous to the district meetings and
gave the tickets to the Mclean kilbourne
men where there were conteSting delega-
tions. and they took all the districts eX-
cept those which include Cleveland in
which, under the unit rule, they could not
control vote.
But the johnson men. after the result
of the district meetings, promptly an
nounced that they would carry the fight
into the committee on resolutions for an
all night struggle and then into the con-
vension for finish" They have two
strong men and vigorous speakers in
Heisley and Baker. both members of
Mayor Johnson's cabinet at Cleveland, on

Electoral Plan Rejected.

HAVANA, July 10-The Cuban con-
stitutional convention has rejected the
commissions project for the electoral law
by vote of l3 to II. The conservatives
claimed that the law as proposed was too
radical, inasmuch as it provided that
there should be no interference with the
elections by the central government and
because the last elections showed it to be
impossible to conduct elections honestly
without some restraining power. They
pointed ont that the provinces and mu-
inequalities were as yet unable TO govern
themselves and contended that free
hand regarding elections would result in
calamity to the country

EVANS SAVES MONEY.
A surplus of Five Millions In the
Pension Department.

WASHINGTON, July 10.-When the
annual report of the commissioner of
pensions is made public, it will probably
show that only S135, 200, 600 of the $l40,-
100000 appropriated 10y congress was ex-
pended during the last year and that the
balance was turned back into the treasu-
ry. Commissioner Evans does not doubt
that this action win be the subject Of
further criticism against his administra-
ton and that he will be charged anew
with hostility toward the old soldier. In
explanation Colonel Evans said:
Il had no knowledge until very short
time ago that there would be a surplus
in my bureau this year. The clerks in my
bureau adjudcate the cases as promptly
as they can, and no one ever asks wheth-
er there is enough money in the appropr-
alton bill to cover all the pensions issued
or whether there would be a surplus.

Father Kills His Children,

HALIFAX. July 9.-Three innocent
lives were ended by the act of a crazy
father, the crime being one of the most
pitiable in Nova Scotia for many years.
The father was Sydney Locke n respect
ed citizen and municipal councillor of
Lockport. Locke rose yesterday morn
ing and after partially dressing himself
went to the room where his three chill
dren were sleeping. He carried with
him a "A caliber revolver. Without a
word he placed the muzzle of the re-
volver to the head of his Oldest child and
fired. The next instant he killed Err
mimic, his favorite child. Howard, who
was in bed by himself, attempted to
escape, but his rather was on him in n
moment, and the little fellow, too. went
down. he was fatally wounded and died
an hour afterward

Enraged Negroes Terrible Crime.

DOUGLAS, Ga, July 10.-Jake De-
voss, n negro laborer on James McKin-
mons plantation, was working a team of
mules. The mules baked, and Devoss
flew into rage. Flogging failed to
move the animals. The negro went to
his house, got a Winchester rifle and
shot both mules dead. Devoss wife ex-
postulated with him. and he turned the
rifle upon her. iniicting a wound which
may prove fatal. James McKinnon, who
owned the mules, and his brother,
Charles, attracted by the shooting, start
ed for the scene. The now wildly in
furiated negro saw them coming and be-
gan shooting at them. Charles McKinnon
was instantly killed, and James McKin-
non was so badly wounded' that he will
probably die. Then Devoss escaped to
the swamps. The county authorities were
notified and started in pursuit of the
murderer with bloodhounds. He has his
rifle with him, but it is not believed he
has much ammunition More bloodshed
is looked for.

ADMIRAL SCHLEY'S CASE.

The signs all point to the complete
vindication of Admiral Schley II has
been shown by Captain Cookies testi-
mony that the Admiral did not make
the celebrated loop, but that this was
ordered by the Brooklyns immediate
commander. There is ample proof tina.
Schley did his part to whip Cervera and
that, in SIMPSONS absence, he COM
manded the fleet and signaled all neces-
sary orders No faint of cowardice has
been impaired to his naval record. IN
stead he appears to have been ithe
alert, courageous and successful flag
officer in command of a victorious fleet
The sole part borne by Rear Admiral
Sampson was in having ordered the
ships, long before, to keep a certain dis
lance from the entrance to Santiago
harbor and to close in and fight the
moment the enemy should appear. That
was a very good order indeed, but any
ensign of. the feet was capable of Civ
ing it. In fact there was no other or
der possible except the one which Far
ragut gave when he signalled the dash
between the Mississippi forts and when
he shouted to the captain of the flag
ship: Go ahead, Oh the torpe-
does"
Sampson might have done this Re-
lneIlDeI!HS what the japanese dld at
Wei-hai-Wei. an officer willing to take
chances could have assailed Cervera at
anchor and taken Santiago from the
rear. The situations at Wei-hai-Wei
and at Santiago were nearly identical
In the former case a large Chinese fleet
were -corraled in a welI-defended bay
with two marine entrances. Admiral
Ito's blockading fleet was outside and
Marshal Oyama's blockading army in the
country back of the port. 1t was moi
the Japanese Aduiral's plan to spend
weeks and months waiting for Chinese
sortie. That was not his way. AS soon
as he made sure of the precise loca-
ton OF the submarine mines and tor
pedoes. he sent a fotilla of torpedo
boats into the port under cover of dark
ness to attack the enemy. The gallant
little vessels dared everything, in two
successive night attacks, and won
They sank a hattleship and several
cruisers and gunboats and compelled
the surrender OF the rest. Though a
storm OF shot and shell both from land
and sea batteries broke over them
when they forced an entrance they Cid
not finch; and their courage and dash
brought the war TO an early close
The Conditions at Santiago being the
same the same procedure was both pos
sible and desirable. But Sampson kept
of. The only remarkable thing he did
was to send in the Merrimac to block
ade the harbor by sinking herself in the
channel The scheme failed, as two or
three such vessels were needed for the
