M'LEAN AND KILBoURNE CONTROL
Will Have Everything Their Own Way
 in Ohio Democratic Convention.

Columbus, O., July 9.-The Mclean Kilbourne element at the district meet ings this afternoon secured control of all the committees and will according ly have everything their way at the democratic state convention to-mor- row. They were so strongly in the ma- jority that there was no friction.
 In the Twentieth and Twenty-f1rst districts, which include Cleveland, the Johnson men had things their way as much as the Mclean men in the First and Second districts, which include Cincinnati. But in the rural districts the latter element had almost every thing. The controlling element did not ride rough shod over minorities in any of the districts, but when names were proposed for places on the committees there were inquiries as to how they stood and if the replies were not satis- factory they were ''excused'' in some cases as quietly as jurors and in others with ballots.
 The Mclean Kilbourne element, while unusually courteous, made no concessions. The old state commit tee met previous to the district meetings and gave the tickets to the Mclean Kilbourne men where there were con- testing delegations and they took all the districts, except those which in- clude Cleveland, in which under the unit rule, they could not control a vote.
 But the Johnson men, after the re- suit of the district meetings, promptly announced that they would carry the fight into the committee on resolutions for an all night struggle and then into the convention tomorrow flor a fin ish." They have two strong men and vigorous speakers in Heisley and Ba- ker, both members of Mayor Johnson's on resolutions.

Wrestling Match in Some Respects Re-
 minded Spectators ofa Prize Fight.
 New York, July 9.-Gus Ruhlin and Bob Fitzsimmons, in a Graeco- Roman wrestling bout attracted 2,500 people to the Madison Square Garden tonight. Ruhlin was both cleverer and heavier than the Cornishman and won two falls in succession with a quarter of an hours rest between them.
 In the boxes around the wrestling platform early in the evening was a gathering of men whose faces were all ways a familiar scene at the ring side when boxing was in vogue in this city. In the other parts of the big building there were about 2,000 people seated who by their actions evidently enjoyed the look of the men in the roped en- closure. Several noted fighters were in evidence, among them being Tom Shar- key and Terry McGovern, who acted as timekeeper. Charley White was refereee
 Fitzsimmons selected the same cor ner which he occupied last August when he fought and defeated Ruhlin. Ruhin also got warm welcome. His weight was announced at 195 pounds and Fitzsimmons was said to weigh only 160.
 Master of Ceremonies Humphreys said the men would wrestle Graeco- Roman style best two out of three falls and that no holds were barred. They were to wrestle for an hour and if no fall occurred they were to go on for an- other hour, after rest of fifteen min

The Words Not the Exclusive Title of
 Any Society.

New York, July 9--A decision was handed down by the appellate division of the supreme court to-day in the case of the Colonial Danes of America against the Colonial Danes of the State of New York and others. The action of the lower court dismissng the com plaints in actions of the plaintiffs was afterwards made, thus permitting the defendants to call themselves any kind of colonial danes, which was the point at issue The Colonial Danes of Amer ica contended that the words Colonial Dames' were distinctive in character and capable of exclusive application and that by right or priority the Amer ican Danes were entitled to such ex- elusive use.

HOPE ON INDEPENDENCE
MANAGERS AND CREW ARE STILL
 UNDISlI4 FED.

Believe Their Boat Has Had Extra-

 Races-Her N eakness in Light Airs
 Administration of All the Yachts Hop-
 ing for stiff Breeze for To dry's R ace.
 Newport, R. l., July 9.-None of the big racing boats moved out of the har- bor to-day. It was intended to take the Constitution out for short spin in the afternoon to try out couple of new jibs MT. Duncan is very anxious to get in service, but about o'clock a threatening squall came up from the west and it was decided that the boat had better remain at her moorings It was rather expected that a little | ballast would be taken out of the h. | dependence to-day but Mr. Adams who | is in charge, has decided to make no | changes until after to-morroW's race at least. The jibs of the Boston boat were fixed over a bit to-day and the sailors were kept busy on spars and rigging until nightfall. On the Colum- bit there was practically nothing to do, and the men really had a day of rest.
 The managers and crew of the Inde- pendence are still undismayed by the showing their boat has made thus far, nd full of bnna e, ever. They feel that their craft has had an unusual run of hard luck in finding all the soft spots possible in the two races in which she has sailed. They know that the boat has sailed fast in a good breeze and they believe that she will yet surprise those who have condemned her as a hopeless candidate for cup honors. It is admit ted that she has shown surprising weakness as light weather boat, but her admirers pray that tomorrow may bring a good club topsall breeze and give her an opportunity to redeem her. self
 In discussing yesteday's remarkable performance of the Constitution, MT Duncan to-day said that he thought his
 
 of better winds, and he did not believe the Constitution could beat the Colum- bia by any such margin under ordinary conditions. He Is perfectly satisfied with the qualities of the new sloop in the light weather, but he is still bit anxious to see what she will do in a good hard blow.
 He is confident she will acquit her self to the satisfaction of her admirers, but he thinks if she can beat the Co., lumhia by three minutes in ten or twelve knot breeze she will be doing very well. When asked if he consid cred that yesterdays race settled the future of the Independence, he said: Not by any manner of means; 1t is impossible to tell what she may do un- der better conditions. Give the boat a chance. She has not had really good trial yet, and will surely do better than she has"
 To-morrow's race, the third of the Newport Yacht Racing association series will be fifteen miles to windward and return if the breeze will allow. And all of the shippers are hoping for really first class sailing wind, This week will end the racing here until the contest for the Astor cups on July 29th both the Columbia and Constitution going to Britsol next week to prepare for the New York Yacht club cruise be- ginning July P.

Have Been shot if They Didn't.


 Hamilton, Bermuda, Thursday, July 1.-The Boer prisoners are, taking them as whole, a fine looking lot of men, and one feels much sympathy for them in their lack of occupation and the ev- ident longing for home and freedom which possesses them. The Free Stat CTS, who number some eight hundred men, have been placed on Darrell's Is- land, and the Transvaalers, a less con tented crowd, whose confessed desire is to be free to fight again and who number only about one hundred and thirty, are on Burtt's or Moses Island The former are orderly and quiet, well hammered and many of them educated. They say they never wanted to fight but that 1t was a case of fight or be shot,"
 They recognize also that their cause is hopeless and only desire to return to their homes to live peacefully. One of them said: q am a wagon maker. Be- fore the war broke out I used to earn e2 a day at my trade. I own a farm for which I have paid in full. At least, did own it; I suppose the British gov- ernment owns it now 1 was pressed into fighting. Had I refused I would have been shot. I know our cause is lost. All I want is to return to my family-my wife and my six children. I left them enough money to last them twelve months, but I have been away now for sixteen months. However, I trust the British government will take care of them" This is the tone of most of the Free Staters.
 The want of occupation is the chief cause of complaint among all the pris- oners. They want tools, files and small saws which, of course, are not allowed them They have busted themselves in the manufacture of various sovenirs, which they readily sell; but their only tools are penknives-rnost of them with broken blades-and sharpened nails and pieces of wire.
