HOWISON IS CHOSEN
WILL SERVE ON sCHLEY COURT
 OF INQUIRY.
He is One of the Youngest Retired Officers of the Navy-Lists of Witnesses Prepared.
 Many Abroad.

Washington, Aug. 6.-The vacancy in the schley court of inquiry caused by the inability of Rear Admiral Kimber- ly to serve on account of ill health. has been filled by the selection of Rear Admiral Henry T. Howison. whose ap- pointment was announced by Assist ant Secretary Hackett today. At the same time it was announced that this appointment would be agreed ble to Admiral Schley. The Department be- fore taking action had submitted d list of names to Admiral Schley. which in cluded that of Rear Admiral HoWison and Admiral Schley had indicated his entire willingness to accept any off cer on the list, The Depa rtment also communicated the selection to Cap tain Parker before making it public. Assistant Secretary Hackett. before is- suing the order communicated with Admiral Howison at Saratoga Springs. N. Y. and ascertained from him that he had given utterance to no expres- sion of opinion regarding the merits of the Sampson Schley controversy.
 The Department announced that Ad- miral Howison would accept the detail.
 Rear Admiral Howison is one of the youngest retired officers of his grade. having been retired October 10. 1899. when he reached the age of 62. Dur ing the early part of the war he serv- ed principally in blockade duty. but later participated in the battle of Mo bile Bay as commander of the United States ship Bienville. It Is rather an interesting coincidence that he was in command of the cruiser Vandalia at Samoa. which later went down in the hurricane in Apia Harbor while flying the flag of Rear Admiral Kimberley, who had succeeded him as senior off cer on the station, and whom he now succeeds In thIs court. He was in command of the Boston yard during the Spanish war. and later was com mander of the South Atlantic station. He made the famous long distance cruise around Africa in the Chicago as the last act of his active career, ar irving in New York the day before Admiral Dewey arrived in the Olympia
 It will be remembered that although he outranked Admiral Sampson, who was in command of the receiving fleet at that time he refrained from assum- ing command. but courteously allowed Admiral Sampson to do the honors up- on that celebrated occasion.
 A preliminary list of the witnesses who will be called to appear before the court has been prepared at the Navy Department. Some of these of ficers are on foreign stations and will be obliged to leave for home almost immediately in order to arrive in time.

AN OFFICIAL STATEMENT.
The Job Not the Work of Single
 Night.

Vallejo. Cal. Aug. 6.-An official of the Selby Smelling Works made the following statement to representative of the Associated Press regarding the robbery
 The robbers must have succeeded in entering the vault some time between midnight and o'clock this morning. They entered the vault through hole about the size of d manhole in boiler, and indications point to the fact that the robbers have been working on the scheme for some time. Over 15O holes were bored into the bottom or the vault and the workmanship tndi- cates that mechanics of more than usual ability superintended the job. The holes were bored to within a hairs breadth of the surface and when the proper time came the place was forced up. thus giving the robbers access to the vault The plottere first excavated hole alongside the building directly in line with the vault. The work of excavating must have taken some time. and at the end of each nights work for the work must have been done at nlght-a covering of laths. rubber shooting and sacks was made. the hole being covered over with layer of dirt. thus hiding any sign of what was go- ing on. What became of the excavated dirt we have been unable to find out. It must have been removed in sacks The covering we have ascertained was not strong enough to hold the weight of man, but the excavation was made

REPLY OF M'LAURIN
NEITHER PULLMAN NOR COM
 MITTEE HIS MASTER.
Says His Expulsion from the Demo- cratic Party Was at the
 Instigation of the Senior Senator.

Columbia, S. C., Aug. 6.-The State Democratic Executive Committee today received Senator McLaurin's reply to their action of July 25 conforming his course in the Senate and demanding his resignation. Tn the course of the letter Senator McLaurin writes:
 "I hold my commission from the Democratic voters of South Carolina; I recognize no authority but theirs, take no orders from any source but them, and shall in due course appeal to them for judgment on my course as a Senator and my character as man and a Democrat.
 Personally. l am indifferent to your action. because nobody has made you my master or censor, and l regard what you have done as merely express ing the malice and the fears of one in- dividual. Senator B. R. Tillman. But for this always evil and indecent in- fluence ordinary respect for the pro- prieties would probably have prevented the four of you who are my declared competitors for the seat l now nave the honor to occupy. from attemptlng to use the power entrusted to you oy your party to remove a rival from your path.
 II shall ask the people to decide be- tween the man who has trScd to nelp cotton factories. open highways ot commerce and to so counsel the Dem ocratic party as to command for II the confidence and respect of the bus- mess and la boring clements North and South. and that of the man whose con duct and record has been to sink the party to disrepute and impotence. shall ask them to say whether they nrefer the Senator who has tried to re- tain for South Carolina the honor ana dignity won by a long line of illus trious sons and glorious deeds or the Senator who has pOstured as bufoon and bully and who proclaimed on the floor of the Senate that he represented a constituency of ballot box stufters and murderers who wanted their share of the stealage.
 ''I desire to proclaim to the world that you do not represent the intelll- gence the Democracy. or the people of South Carolina; and to you and Sen stor Tillman that he has never been my master and shall never be; that he shall not escape the vengeance that must surely fall upon him when the neople have been made to understand his motives. his methods. his debased character and his shameful record To that grand conservator of free gov ernment. the reserved patriotism and common sense of the people. l make appeal against partisan intolerance and tyranny

MOURNING FOR EMPRESS
Telegrams Received from All Guar ters Bearing Coincidence to
 the German Emperor.

Berlin. Aug. GA special edition of The Reichezanger. published this morning, contains an imperial cabinet order giving notice of the death of Empress Frederick and of six weeks national mourning beginning today.
 The order also directs that all public amusements including concerts and theatrical performances. be suspended until after the funeral According to dispatches from Cronberg the death agony of the Dowager Empress was brief. lasting hardly a quarter of an hour.
 When Professor Renvers informed Emperor William that his mothers heart had ceased to beat the Chaplain made a brief prayer and His Majesty placed white lilies in his mothers hands. Telegrams are pouring in from all quarters.
 The heads of all foreign States and the sovereigns of the German States lave sent messages of condolence couched in the warmest terms.
 The papers comment on the politi- cal side of the Dowager's character with reserve. The Post considers it easily comprehensible that a woman of her abilities should seek to influ- ence the political views of her husba nd, but the papers refrain from criticism, since she avoided all political activity after Emperor Frederick's death. The Krauz Zeitung. wholly ignores her pol itics.
 The Nesute Nestrichen says:
 She brought from England political views which were suitable in a highly developed. solidly foundationed coun- try like England. but which were out of place in a country like Prussia, struggling for existence"
 The Deutsche Tags Zeitung says:
 Tt would be unseemly and repug- nant to our sentiments to recall the struggles in which she was drawn"
 The Liberal papers describe the hopes of Germany indulged in through her indoctrinating Emperor Frederick with English constitutional views. Many papers refer to her relations with the late Prince Bismarck and his opposition to her Englanderei."
 The flag of the United States Elm bassy was half-masted today
 The royal family will go to Potsdam Sunday evening and the body will be taken there Monday evening. The funeral service in the mauso- leum at Friedenskirche, Potsdam. will be held Tuesday.
 Emperor William has received pri- vate telegram of sympathy from the Pope,

MARYLAND REPUBLICANS
Denunciations of Democracy in Gen. eral and of Arthur P. German
 in Particular.

Baltimore. Md, Aug. S.-The Repub- lican State Convention held here today placed in nomination the following ticket: For State Controller. Hermann s. Platt of Baltimore City; for Clerk of the Court of Appeals. Thomas Par ran of Calvert county. Both nohlna- tions were made by exclamation. h. terest, therefore, centered mainly in the platform and the speeches, all of which teemed with denunciation of Democracy in general and former Unit ed States Senator German in partic- ular. The white supremacy" issue raised by the Democrats in the plat form adopted by them at last weeks convention was ignored in the platform upon which the Republican candidates will stand. but 1t came in for its un- favorable mention in the speeches. Phillips Lee Goldsborough. chairman of the Republican State Central Com mittee, indicated clearly the course to be pursued by his party In the coming fight with regard to this issue in his opening address to the convention.
 TO the cry that this is a white mans State." said he. I've answer that the negro bogy will scare no man. It is disgusting but humorous: it is sham and fraud: it is without force. The sug gestion that more than 80 per cent. of the white population of the State is in jeopardy, from a1y standpoint. from the less than 20 per cent. of negro pop ulation. is an insult to a brave and intelligent people. who are justly proud of the glory of their State. There has never been a time when there has not ben a white mans government in Ma ryland and as the percentage of col hoe -kA IoA~anzal l., the State each decade since 1910 when 1t was 3S22 per cent, to the present time when 1t Is but 1918 per cent, the puerility and absurdity of crying aloud white mans government is appar- ent"

London. Aug. 6.-Lord Lansdowne the Foreign Secretary in the House of Lords today said the Chinese negotia- tions had made rapid and satisfactory progress. The indemnity question was disposed of, with the exception of a few minor points. There was still some question whether the matter of the commercial facilities in China had not better be transferred to some other place than Pekin and to some more wieldy body than the present confer ence.
 The Foreign Secretary also said that final strength of the legation garrisons at Pekin probably will be 1,S00 men, and that an additional force of 5000 men would be distributed at important points along the route to the sea.
 The Secretary regarded the Anglo German and Anglo-Russian agreements as satisfactory and as tending to the maintenance of China's territorial in- tegrity.

BOYS, HELP THE GIRLS TO AP.
PROBATE WINTER. Very few of
our boys need to be urged to make
friends with the winter. They hail
joyfully the first fall Of snow, and
find it hard work to wait till the
increasing cold has thickened the
skim of ice over the river. Their
ears are frost. bitten frequently, and
they know the agony Of chilled feet
and fingers, but none Of these things
can shake their loyalty to the sea-
son.
And we wish the same was true
OF our girls. We always feel sorry
for girl who makes up her mird
that she is too dignified for snow
baIling, and too old to make snow
images in the front yard. Instead
she spends her leisure indoors clr Sc
to the fire, and CO mes to dread the
cold more and more as the days
pass. She "longs for summer" "
and seems not to appreciate the
beauty OF trees powdered with snow
or encased in an armor of mother
ofpearl. She evidently has not
discovered that the blue Of u Janu.
airy sky ia matchless, or that the
stars are never so brilliant as when
viewed through an atmosphere ting
ling with frost. She ia blind to the
exquisite daintiness Of the snow.
crystals, which brush her window
pane by the million, and as blind
to the beauty Of a winter land scape.
And # she continues TO spend her
spare time IN an easy chair by the
stove or the register, with Der back
to the window, there Is not much
chance that she will grow wiser.
Now, boys, can't you help the
girls to a better dlscernment and
wiser Judgment? Help them to sec
that dazzling winter dag has d
beauty far cxcelling the beauty oil
midsummer. Coax them into the
fashionable walking skirt" II
they have not one, make them a
present OF one. And then plan
your winter expeditions. Begin
with short walk at n pace that setr
your blood to galIopinR, but don I
allow your girl panions to slight
the beauty found everywhere. Go
a little further each day. Brisk
walks. skating, coasting. anything
that & yes chance for out Of door
exercise, IS what girls need. Help
them to get it. You will be more
than repaid by the bright eyes and
rosy cheeks Of the girls as they turn
to you to say, Owe can't tell you
how we have enjoyed this" when
back to their fresldes you bring
them after one OF these winter
jaunts.
