HARRISBURG, Pa, Aug. 15.-The DEM
ocratic state convention to-day nominated
Judge Harman Yerkes, of Doylestown, for
Supreme Court, and Representative Andrew
j. Palm, of Meadville, for state treasurer.
The platform makes no reference to Will
liam j. Bryan or national affairs, being
confined entirely to state issues. In the
closing moments of the convention resolu-
tions were adopted without debate and by
a practically unanimous vote. which will
have the effect of blocking any effort that
may be contemplated looking to the with
drawal of the candidate for state treasurer
and the substitution of an anti-Quay Re-
publican on fusion ticket
The contest between the rival Philadel-
phia factions for recognition by the conven-
tion resulted in a harmony agreement be-

elements. committee was designated to
cooperate with former Governor Robert l..
Pattison, chairman of the regular city
committee, in adjustin the differences that
may arise in reorganiZing the parry in Phil

Following the ratification Of the har-
mony programme an effort was made by
j. o. Ulrich. of Schuylkill to expel the
Philadelphia delegates. He made speech
criticising the harmony resolution and
condemninG the leaders sf the PhilaCel-
phia Democracy. An assistant sergeant
alarms tried to force Mr.. Ulrich to take
his seat and there almost a riot. The
police interfered and after much excite

Statement of George l.. SeybOld, n
Former POstomce Inspector. Who
Brings Out New Points.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 15.-Fourth Assist
ant Postmaster General Bristow has re-
ceived a cablegram from Inspector General
of Posts in Cuba Fosnes, stating that the
trial of Edward p. Thompson, formerly
postmaster at Havana, also formerly post
master at indianapolis, has been conclud-
ed and Thompson convicted. He was SEN
fenced to pay a fine of $500 or serve six
months in prison. Thompson was accused
of causing to be issued in his own behalf,
$40 each, and putting a due bill in the
drawer instead of cash. 1t was further
charged that when he learned that an
inspection of the Office was imminent he
placed $400 in the drawer from remittances
he had just received. postponing the entry
of these remittances until after the in
spection, when he withdrew the s4OO re-
placed his due bills and entered the remit
tances.
The case of Postmaster Thompson is re-
garded at the Postoffice Department as
the least reprehensible of all the cases
growing out of the Cuban postal investi-
cation. The conviction was on the charge
of embezzlement of postoffice FUNDS. Pos
tai officials say the other cases probably
will be ready for trial within a month or
six weeks, and all the evidence that was
wanted from this country has been for
warded to Havana. except that of witnesses
who refused to testify.

OLD CONTROVERSY SETTLED.
Government Can Collect Full Amount
of Letter Carriers Bond

WASHINGTON, Aug. 15.-The attorney
general has forwarded to the Postofffce
Department a decision in which he holds
that the government can collect from the
bond of a postal clerk or carrier for money
which he steals from registered letter
The government is held to be under a moral
obligation to recover and restore valuable
mail to the owner when stolen by a gov
ernment employe. and the surety company
guaranteeing the employe is made liable to
the amount of his bond. The decision set
ties an old controversy between the Post
office Department and surety companies
over the extent of the latter's RESPONSE
bility.
The decision was in the case of a letter
carrier in New York city who stole two let
ters containing over $1,000. OF this inspec-
tors recovered. $500 and called on the FL
deity and Deposit Company of MARYLAND,
who bonded the carrier, for the remainder
The company rendered. instead. only $40 for
each letter. on the ground that was all the
government was liable for to the owner but
agreed to abide by "A decision of the atfor-
ney general in the matter The latter now
holds that when a clerk or carrier steals a
registered letter containing money he is re-
Sponsible for the amount stolen: that under
the guaranty of the bond he violated such
bond. and the surety company. therefore
is held responsible under it's contract for
the amount of the money stolen provided II
did not exceed the amount for which the
bond was given.

COLON, Colombia, Aug. 15.-Raids con-
tinue almost daily or nightly along the
line owing to the entire absence of military
protection. Last night Matachin was again
raided, and cattle belonging to sympa-
thizers with the government was stolen.
Two women were kidnapped at Gorgona
Station Sunday night. and the Chinese
there were pilIaged. On most occasions of
this character the Chinese are the chief
sufferers Consequently they are daily
transferring provisions and merchandise to
Panama. thus intensifying want and suffer-
ing all along the line. Armed guards con-
sisting of about fifty still accompany each
passenger train. The presence of the
French cruiser Suchet tends to allay
Uneasiness, and the arrival of the United
States gunboat Machias is anxiously await
ed. 1t is hoped that she may get here by
Sunday. Beyond the loss of dynamite and
powder the railroad has sustained no in
jury, and traffic across the isthmus con-
tinues without interruption, although far
fewer local passengers are now crossing.
The government is concentrating troops
from the more remote provinces. Tee-
graphic communication with coast points is
interrupted and hence nothing is known
here regarding the situation at Cartagena
and Barranquilla. General Alban mas not

a any moment with renforcements. Troops

MORGAN'S LABOR union
PROPOSED PARTNERSHIP BETWEEN

wanted to Give Steel Workers an OPP
pOrtunity to Purchase stock in
the Great Corporation.

NEW YORK, Aug. 15.-The Press will say
planned the greatest labor union of the
age, a union of labor and labor's ally
capital. According to his plans. stock of
the United States Steel Corporation, valued
at several millions of dollars at par. has
been set aside for purchase at inside
figures by the $4,000 men employed by the
companies that make up the great steel
this copartnership between the sharehold-
ers and the employees of the United States
Steel Corporation.
1.-The plan was conceived before the strike
was thought of and then it was expected
that it might be put in operation in two
years. 1t required time to formulate the
details of such a tremendous undertaking.
For this reason announcement was with
held. At a recent conference, however, be-
tween the executive board of the Amalga-
mated Association and Charles Schwab, the
president of the United States Steel Cor
poration, it came out that Schwab. under
the direction of Morgan, had formulated a
profit-sharing scheme whereby it was pro-
posed to make every employe of the Steel
Corporation co-operator in the business.
The Press will also say that the plan con-
templated by the United States Steel Cor
poration is nothing more than a high de-
velOpment of the scheme that has pre-
vailed in the Carnegie plants since 1892. Aft
er studying the success attained by Car
negie, il Is said that Morgan and his asso-
ciateS in the management of the United
States Steel Corporation determined that ii
would be wise TO extend the scheme.

FIGHTING NEAR THE CITIES.
Insurgents on the Outskirts of Both
Colon and Panama.

KINGSTON, Jamaica. Aug. 15.-The Brit
Colon and brings reports of heavy fighting
on Monday on the outskirts of Panama
and Colon. The rebels were steadily ad-
vancing the towns proper. A large num-
ber of wounded men belonging to the gov
ernment troops were taken to Colon on
Monday. This is regarded an indication
of the persistency of the rebel attacks.
The converted cruiser Namouna has been
found to be practically useless, owing to
the bungling attempts to mount heavy
guns on board her. The Colombian gov
ernment is now negotiating for the pur-
chase of the steamer Bernard Hall, of the
West India and Pacific Steamship Company
Qimited) of Liverpool.
The Darien brought forty passengers who
cape the danger and to avoid conscripton.
The British consul at Colon has entered a
protest against Jamaicans being compelled
by the Colombian government to fight
against the rebels. The passengers of the
Darien say the chances of the Liberals
success seem better than ever since the
commencement of the revolution. Guards
are still kept on board the trains running
between Panama and Colon.
Both sides are committing atrocities. In
the attack made on the government troops
Sunday, a few miles out of Colon, rebels
defeated the government force, and one of
the latter was afterwards found shot in the
abdomen. with both legs amputated. This
was a reprisal for the torture by the gov
ernment OF political prisoners.
