HARMONY IS PROMISED
DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION IN
 BALTIMORE.
Upon the Party's Success at the Polls Depends the Future Political Career of Arthur Pue
 German.

Baltimore, July 31.-The Democratic State Convention. which will meet at Ford's Opera House, this city. at noon tomorrow, promises to be thoroughly The delegates to the con- vention are nearly all strict organiza- tion men. and there will be no kicking over the traces. The only nominations to be made are for Controller and Clerk of the Court of Appeals. As to the declaration of principles. it seems clear that no mention will be made of the currency. the tariff, imperialism or anything of that sort. but every plank in the platform will be confined strict iv to State issues. Prominent among these. 1t is understood. will be the me- gro vote problem. There is every req son for believing that a strong declar- ation will be made upon this subject, following closely along the line laid down by the Democrats at their recent convention in Frederick County. the home of Colonel L. Victor Baughman, one of former Senator Germans lieu tenants in which it was decided that the danger of negroes ultimately hold ina the balance of power in Maryland Is imminent unless something is done to check their right to vote. The course of the State administration in conven- ing the General Assembly in special session last spring for the purpose of
 passing laws to disdualify illiterate voters and the taking of State census, will be upheld. The platform Is being very carefully drawn, with a view of setting every vote possible for the Democratic nominees for the Legisla- ture.
 MT. German has taken part in many conferences upon this subject and the list of nominees in the various counties has been carefully scrutinized and re- yised by his friends, 1t being a recog- nized fact that upon the success or failure of party to carry their legis- lative tickets this fall. so as to have a majority in the coming Legislature. will depend Mir. Germans future ca- reer as a politician. in so far as the State of Maryland is concerned. That he will be chosen to succeed Senator Wellington in the event of Democratic success, is regarded as being certain beyond the slightest doubt, and no oth- CT name than his has thus far been mentioned in that connection,

DRAWING AT FL RENO.
LiCt of Prize Winners Will Be Com
 pteted Today.

Fl Reno, O. T.. July N.-Twenty- one hundred names were drawn from each wheel in the United States land draw ing today. making the grand total s,700. Tomorrow the list of prizs- winners will be completed. The drawing of num- bers will continue until about l,000 names for each land district are drawn from the wheels, making a total of 20,- 900 names. As there are about 13,500 claims in the new country the drawing of 10000 names will go beyond the point where persons above 13,500 can get land. The remaining envelopes will draw blanks. but the commission desires to impress the public with the fairness and honesty of the drawing; every one of the 1s5.000 envelopes will be drawn. When the names entitled to homesteads have been exhausted, the work that follows will be merely per functoFy, and will be done as rapidly as possible. Each person who regis tered at Fl Reno or Lawton will re- ceive a postal card showing the num- ber of his Identification card as it came from the wheel.
 The commissioners of the drawing are notifying by postal card each per- son who draws a number. The card also gives the date upon which the re- cipient must appear at the office of his respective land district and file his en- try. The date upon which a man must appear to make entry Is easily deter mined. In each land district l25 per- sons will be permitted to file daily. Those holding numbers l to 125 must file August 6. l26 to 250. August T. con- tinuing in this manner until all the homesteads in each land district are filed upon,

HIGH PRAISE FOR SCHLEY. Spanish Captain Says He Did His
 Duty Well.

New York, July 3l.-The Madrid rep- reSentative of The Journal and Adver- tiser has obtained an interview from Captain Diaz MOreu, who commanded the Cristobal Colon during the naval conflict off Santiago. Says Captain Moreu in reference to the movements of Admiral Schley:
 All the American officers, without exception, did their duty in the naval battle off Santiago. So did we, al- though it is certain that We were van uuished by superiority of force. It Is absurd and unpatriotic to make any exception in the case of Admiral Schiey. It IS absurd. because the Brooklyn was in the thick of the night throughout. She was at the mouth Of the harbor when We tried to pass out. and engaged us with q terrific fire, do- ing ffightful damage to the end, Tn the pul suit of the Cristobal Colon, we surrendered to the Brooklyn forty-hve miles west of Santiago.
 '.The Brooklyn was the first to en- counter us as we were coming out, and the first to lead in the pursuit, and she kept up the lead. with the Oregon vastly aiding. The Brookly landed . shell just ahead of my ship, and with the Oregon helping her, there was noth- ing left for me to do but run ashore.
 "The Brooklyns conduct was brave; hence Commodore Schiey's conduct was brave. Schley was on past, where he was put by Sampson. After the battle commenced each commander acted according to circumstances. and events show that the Brooklyn bore a brave part.
 "I should say that Schley was not only brave, but very competent, as t.y1an I LnnU nprGOnnilX don't know Schley. but l am friend of Captain Cook of the Brooklyn whose photograph I have. On the back of it you can read the follow ing: Duty to our flags brought us together in strife. The sea made us friends. May God preserve your life and give to you that measure of bless ing which your courage so richly de- serves.
 "Of all the American ships the Brooklyn was the most exposed to our fire and to that of our Datterles. Schley's own report was model cf nlain sailor-like and rentlelnnIly state ment. Schley directed thAL oLr ctfttrs retain their personal .,ffects. A coward is never generous. The suggestion Of cowardice probably comes from cow ards. .s ".=
 "I have read in Fl Huad 10 NaVai that this attack upon an honorable naval officer has a low political b3sis. The navy should be left outside of politics.
 Admiral Simpsons own ntti2'dl re- port is evidence of the Brooklyn act i've part and of Schley'S compttsEcy and bravery The diverse criticism Is obviously ar.er-thousht. As naval officer I deplore 1t because the navy should be as sensitive as woman about it's honor"

THE LoRILLARD STABLES.
Mrs. Allien Cannot Use the Racing
 Colors

New York, July 3.-It was announced tonight that T. Suffern Taller. son-in-law of the late Pierre LOrillard bad left here for Europe on Tuesday and it is thought his departure had an important bearing upon the ultimate disposition of the Lorii- lard racing stable. Appraisers are all ready at work fixing the value of Ranco,, cas and such horses as are there, and MT. Tailer's mission to England is be- Iieved to be with the purpose of making valuation of the Lorillard horses in that country with a view to fixing the compensation that Pierre Lorilla1d, Jr" his mother and two sisters purpose offer. ing Mrs. Alien to relinquish her claim on Rancocas and the Lorillard horses,
 There was a story today that Mrs: AL lien had concluded to retain both Ran cocas and the racing establishment and under her own name and under the IAoril- lard coi0rs continue to race Mr. Loril- larf1's horses both here and in England.
 H. A. Crickmore, sr.. racing secretary, of the Jockey Club, however. declared most emphaticaliy that the story that Mrs. Alien had paid the necessary $en and claimed for herself the old lt'rillard colors was untrue. Shortly after the death of his father, Pierre Lorillard, Jr,. claimed the right to race them" said MT. Crickmore. That balks the attempt of Mrs. Alien or any one else to nse the Lorillard colors on horses of Rancocas breeding or any other breeding"
