Some Primary Election Fatalities In
New jersey.
Camden, N. j., July 29.-one man was
killed and several were injured yesterday
at the primary election Of delegatesto the
republican convention OF the first con-
gressional district Of New jersey.
The candidates for the nomination are
Henry G. Loudenslager,.t the present con-.
gressman, and J.. Alpheus Van SAINT. The
contest has been one of the most bitter
ever held in southern New Jersey. Three
hours were marked with, serious fighting.
The man who was killed Is John Nor
rissey Of Philadelphia. Joe Goddard,
heavyweight pugtlist. OF Philadelphia, was
probably fatally shot while electioneer-
ing in Pensauken township, another man
was dangerously stabbed In this city, and
a fourth man received stab wounds at
Dog Corner" near Merchantville.
Constable Isaac Fowler was shot
twice and Policeman Harry Miller was
fatally cut.
Almost complete returns show that
,Loudenslager will have 4 majority Of
about twenty-five delegates. "a
The condition OF Joe Goddard, the Phila-
deIphia pugilist, is reported by the ply
sicians at Cooper hospital to-day as
critical and there Is little hope OF his re-
:coyery. Harry Miller is doing well and
will probably recover. Issac Fowler was
not seriously hurt. 81. Z S. s.

Mr.. Chamberlain replied that the one.
spirit animating the members of the con-
ference was the desire to draw close to-
gether the constituent parts of the en-:
pire and he thought it safe to say that
the conference had made important prog
ress towards a perfect union to which he
himself looked forward. Regarding South
Africa, Lord Milner, the high commits
sioner, had telegraphed spontaneously
that he did not think further legislation
necessary to make the Punishment proc
larnation effective The government, how
ever, reserved to itself the important
right In the new colonies to refuse TO al
low the return, or to keep watch over
persons who showed themselves inimical
to good order and peace. =, ~.
1--WE are not going to allow the result
Of the war to be undermined" !" said Mr..
Chamberlain, ''by intrigues carried on by
nominally constitutional means"
Regarding the future status of South
Africa, the colonial secretary said the
imperial government had established a
crown colony in the strictest sense. The
next step would be to add nominated
official element. Thereafter there would
be an elected official element and then
nothing but, circumstances and time would
separate the new colonies from fun self
government, the ultimate goal Of their
ambition. That contamination would not
be delayed; IT for no other reason because
! 1t might relieve the governrnent of the
| tremendous burden of responsibility in
yolyed in the present situation, but all
must understand that the government
would not be rushed nor hustled into any
action which circumstances did not war
rant.
The speaker said he was one OF those
optimistic enough to believe that the new
colonies would reach the ultimate goal
of their ambition sooner than many per-
i sens now. thought possible. So far as the
! government was concerned the surrender
promises would be kept In spirit as well
as In letter. The government. he said.
was bound both by honor and interest to
1 this course. There remained many ques-
! tions to be dealt with: a new tariff must
be arranged Involving intricate questions
concerning which experts must be con-
suited and the taxation of mines must be
settled, but he wished to say that nothing
| would be done to punish owners of mines
| as had been suggested in many quarters.
i The government would do nothing to
Interfere with a quick revival Of the de-
velopment OF the country. Subject to that
consideration, Mr.. Chamberlain cortin-
i ued, no man was more anxious than he
i to recover some considerable part Of the
&C st of the war from South Africa. He
thought 1t would be perfectly fair to, lay
part Of the cost OF the war on the indus
tries Of the Transvaal but what amount
1t was too soon to say.

r Cape Town, July 29.-Generals Delarey
and Botha were given an ovation yester-
day at Shellenbosch. They were driven
to the town hall and each of the two
carriages was drawn by sixty students. At
q luncheon which followed the students
acted as walters. ----
General Botha in a feeling address said
the day OF the surrender was the most
painful of his life, but now that it had
been done he prayed earnestly that his
hearers should consider it Gods will.
Although Afrikander nationality in a
manner, had been buried, it would re-
main the most important factor in the So
cial life OF South Africa.g General Botha
paid a tribute to former President Steyn's
abilities as a. statesman. Now let us
stop bothering ourselves about politics" ;"
said the general, "and try to make our
selves happy in South Africa because we

Dos Moines, Iowa, July "a con-
stant stream Of delegates pouring into the
city to-day assures a large attendance
at the convention tomorrow. Senator
Allison arrived early, accompanied by his
secretary and Speaker Henderson. Sena-
tor DolHver is also here and about all

tion. 1gs--s--. ~ = ;r= s5,5zss : . e
There is much talk of harmony, but
under the surface there Is little Of 1t.
Deep interest is taken in the tariff ques-
tion, and whether the Cedar Rapids plank
on the tariff and trusts shall be reaf-
firnned. +,
Ever since the Minneapolis address OF
Governor Cummins this question has been
acute. The governors friends are stand
ing by him to man and this fact has
aroused the antagonism Of many old ma
chine polit icians, who are less against
tariff revision than against Cummins.
The Fighting Seventh.
The fight in the seventh district over
the membership of the resolutions COM
mittee grows more bitter. Lafayette
Young is the candidate Of the anti-revis-
ionists and w H. Berry of the friends Of
the Cedar Rapids platform. Hull has TAX
en- off his coat for Young and Cummins is
in the ring fighting for Berry. It is be-
lieved Young Is beaten, as two PROPOSE
>tions for compromise have come from
his side. The Cummins men rejected both
and the district caucus alone will SEEM
ingly settle 1t. The eyes Of the state are
on this district and If the enemies of
tariff revision are beaten here they can
hope for nothing in the convention.
Indications are that the friends Of the
Cedar Rapids platform will control the
resolutions committee regardless OF the
outcome in the seventh district. H. w.
Byers will probably represent the ninth
district He is strong Cummins man.
With him will be Frank In the eleventh,
Roberts in the tenth, Senator Smith prob
ably in the fourth, French or Curtis in
the second and Kendall In the sixth. SEN

THIEF PLAYED IN LUCK.

Turned Loose by Police and Given
Back the Proceeds of His Plumber.
A thief was discharged in Police
Court on Friday morning. Lack of evil
dence to fix the crime of cow-stealing
on him was the reason for his release,
but hardly had he been released when
evidence commenced to- present itself.
The man was Joe Myers, who came
to the city from Bryan county for the
purpose of selling two oxen. He sold
them at such a low figure as to cause
suspicion, and he was arrested. He
was placed in Jail as a suspect, but was
not held twenty-four hours before he
was brought to trial and acquitted for
want of sufficient discriminating evil
dence.
Yesterday morning two residents of
Bryan county put in their appearance
and made inquiry of the police as to
the whereabouts of the negro and the
oxen, explaining that they had read of
the arrest of the negro in the Morn
ing News. and adding that the cattle
had been stolen from them. They
were told that the negro had been re-
leased, and given back the $1S which
he had received for the cattle, and that
the two steers had long since felt the
butchers AK. The thief Is now a very
much wanted man.

VIII BE Among Those That Have
Teams at the Savannah shoot.
The Escambia Rifles of Pensacola,
the Oldest military organization in
Florida, have decided to send a team
to the Interstate Shoot that is TO COM
mence at Savannah on Aug. 25. This
news was conveyed by letter from the
captain to Capt. Walter E. Coney. The
captain of the Escambia Rifles said
that the suggestion that his company
send a team was hailed with great en-
thusiasm. and a decision to do so was
reached in short order. 1t cannot be
said just how many of the members
Of the command will come.
Capt. Coney heard from Charleston
also. the letter stating that the
Charleston military have suffered no
diminuion of interest since the depar-
ture of Capt. Coney. The Charleston
ians declare they are glad of an op-
portunity to do anything for Savdn-
nah, in view of the treatment Charles
ton received from the Savannah mill
tary on Feb. %. last, when nearly the
entire strength of the local companies
was represented in Charleston.
From Col. w. w. Brandon, adjutant
general of the state forces of Ala
bama, letter was received. stating
that he had sent out a circular of the
Savannah shoot to each and every
command in the state. enclosing cir
cular from his department commend
ing the shoot and advising that the
Alabama commands send teams.
Capt. Coney and the other officers
are greatly encouraged. They believe
the success of the shoot is assured.

BURKE REPORTED AS DEAD.
1t Is Said n WeII-knOwn CoIored
Man Committed Suicide.

1t was reported last night that Rob-
ert Burke, a well known colored man,
had committed suicide by jumping
overheard from boat in Wilmington
river, near ,Thunderbolt.
Inquiry was made at Thunderbolt,
but confirmation of the report could
not be secured. At several places eff
forts were made to learn If the report
were true. Mayor Nelson had heard
nothing about it when asked, but later
heard that Burke had been drowned
not in the Wilmington, but in the Sa-
vannah river.
Inquiries in the city failed to dis
cover that such was the fact. The
report was persistent that the man had
met death somewhere, however, though
just who was responsible for it and
under just what circumstances it had
visited him could not be ascertained.
Burke was best known as janitor of
the postoffice, position he held for
many years. He remained in under
changing administrations until he lost
his position a short time ago.

"PELEE'S SCORIA" Is STAG.

stun Found on Warsaw Beach Re-
fuse From Steamers Furnace.
Many people have viewed with in
terest specimens of what was sup
posed to be scoria from Mont Pelee,
which were found on the beach at
Warsaw, and which have been on ex-
hibition at various places in this city.
These people viii learn now with even
more interest that this stuff, which
their fancy and popular opinion led
them to believe a death-dealing erup-
ton from the far-away mountain of
fire. is nothing more nor less than
Stag, the refuse from some coal burn
ing steamer, chucked overheard prob
ably few miles away, after its steam
giving qualities had been exhausted.
Such is the opinion of Mr.. II. B.
Boyer. local forecast official of the
Weather Bureau, who has a specimen
of the supposed scoria, and who says
it differs in no particle from similar
specimens that have been common all
along the seaboard long before Mont
Pelee blew its head off.
If this fact alone were not sufficient
to prove the identity of the stuff a lit
tie calculation of the distance from
Warsaw to Martinique, a study of the
tide conditions to which the scoria
would have been subjected in its jour-
new northward supposing 1t had been
thrown out by the volcano, and a nice
figuring of the chances against its be-
ing thrown on the shore, or even float
ing at all. after being buffeted for
forty days by wind and water will
leave little doubt that the material is
simply prosaic Stag.
