Rome, July "a great sensation has
been caused here by the action of the
vatican authorities towards the princess
Rospigliosi, an American. Her husband
is head of an ancient family of clerical
nobility and his brother is commandant
of the papal noble guard. On August
26th, 1901, Prince Rospigliosi married
here Mrs. Marie Jennings Reid Park
hurst, of Washington, h divorced VIE
of Colonel Frederick II. Parkhurst, OF
Bangor, Me. The ceremony was clVll
and hence was not recognized by the
vatican Princess RospigloS1, VINO Is

THE FRIAR LANDS.
Negotiations VIII Probably be Sue
ceSSfuIIy Concluded.

Rome, July 10.-Judge Taft, governor
Of the Philippine stands withholds his
opinion Of the vatican note of yester-
day and simply says that he will act
upon the instructions he receives from
Washington.
In vatican circles the fact is COM
mented upon that Washington has ex-
posed itself to the rejection Of the prin-
cipal one of it's propositions, namely, the
withdrawal of the FriarS, by not hav-
ing prior to understanding an exchange
of notes, initiated pour parlers through
Judge Taft which wouid have shown
the government the imposSibility of the
vatican granting pure n simple, the
withdrawal of the FTiars from the is
lands.
The Washington government would
have then understood the necessity of
searching the same object by asking for
the withdrawal of the Friars under a
different form, namely, the substitution
Of the Friars, for state reasons, by
Monks of other nationalities, or differ
ent orders, etc.
1t is believed that arrangements
somewhat IN these lines will ultimate
ly be adopted and hat the negotiations
will be satisfactorily concluded.

DEMOCRATIC
To be Substituted for Old
tiOns Nominating by ma


Montgomery, Ala, July 10.-Afte~ a
bitter factional fight the democracy of
Alabama, represented by the democratic
executive committee of the state. this
afternoon cast aside the ancient custom
of nominating state officers by nve
ton and determined to substitute a
democratic primary election. The ex-
act character of the convention has not
yet been decided upon. The South Car
DINA plan is likely to be adopted and
probably will be reported tomorrow.
The overthrow of the convention GUS
tom is a direct result of the operation
of the states new constitution. That
instrument having eliminated the negro
vote, the democrats feel there is no lon
ger any necessity for piling UP tremen-
dous majorities in the negro counties,
and permitting those counties to send
to Montgomery delegations out of all
proportion to their white population.
For this reason they adopted the pri-
mary idea as a means of holding the
vote of the counties down to the respec-
tive white voting strength.

Kent, Washn., July 10.-Harry Tracey.
the Oregon convict, was at the home of
z. NJ. Johnson. two miles southeast of
this place, Wednesday night. When he
left the house he was armed with a re-
volver and his Winchester, and had a
plentiful supply of both ammunition

to Tacoma to purchase the revolver
and ammunition. He threatened to ex-
terminate Johnson's family on the least
sign of treachery. The murderer
seemed tagged out, and talked very lit
tie about himself or his plans. While
at the Gus he spent nearly all the
time watching for his pursuers. He
left the house after dark, taking John
sons horse, headed either for Seattle
or the Palmer cut off.
Not only did Tracey force Johnson to
buy the revolver but he made him bor-
row necessary money in Kent Johnson
went to Tacoma and purchased the
weapon without giving any kind of a
warning to the authorities He was
badly frightened.

Washington, July 1o.-A cablegram
has been received at the war depart
ment from Governor Taft transmitting
the reply of the vatican TO the proposals
of the United States government. The
abstract issued to the Associated Press
last night from Rome constants all the
essential features.
Secretary Root will take a copy OF the
vatican's reply TO Oyster Bay n sub
NIT it to the president before making
any definite reply
The secretary says IL Is a plain bus
mess proposition which is under nego-
tiation based entirely upin the instruc-
lions given to Governor Taft before his
departure to Rome. In these instruc-
tons. regarding the nov OF the
Friars. the secretary said:
1T is not, however, deemed 10 be for
the interests OF the people OF the Philip
pine islands that in thus Transforming
wholly unproductive tracts of land into
money capable OF productive invest
ment, a fund should be created TO be
used for the attempted restoration Of
the Friars TO the Parishes from which
they are now separated, with the conse-
quent disturbance OF law and order"
This particular feature OF the instruc-
lions Is considered important in view
Of the differences reported from Rome,
and il is understood that this will be
kept fully in mind and adhered to in
any negotiation that Is completed with
h vatican. The removal of the Friars
is the main object of the negotiations.
and it is not believed tina the conten-
ton of the vatican that il cannot order
the FriarS away of the conflict
with the Paris treaty is we'll founded.

Newport, r. l., July 9.-Stern first
hole in her bow and a dead man In her
hold, the Fall River Line steamer Pris-
ella was dragged to her berth here to-
day by the steamer Puritan Of h same
line. The dead man was John Muniz,
a Portuguese deck hand, who was
crushed to death while asleep in his
bunk.
The Priscilla collided in d fog with
the Merchants and Miners transporta-
ton steamer PoWhattan in N~arragan-
sett bay. off Point Judith and for six
hours waited for help to come. At last
the steamer Puritan Of the Fall River
line heard signals Of distress and went
to the scene of her sister ship.
The Priscilla was bound for New
York. She left here a tri1e late and
put out in d dense fog. After an hours
run, when the ship was between Bren-
toms reef lightship and Point Judith,
she was struck on the port bow by the
sharp bow of the other steamship with
practically no warning. The vessels

signs that she was adj damaged. By
~jettysoing part of her cargo the vessel
was lighted until her pumps kept her
afoat.
The Priscilla was struck fair and her
bow was nearly cut off. The stem of
the POWhattan penetrated fully twenty
feet into the hull of the Priscilla. The
wash room on the main deck, and the
sleeping quarters and steering engine
compartment below, were wrecked, and
the steel plates of the bow were torn
away we'll below the water line. The
forward bulkhead was broken through,
thus placing two compartments out of
conditions, and rapidly sending the
steamer down by the mead 50 that her
stern came out and her rudder was
rendered useless The inflow OF water
very soon extinguished the electric
lights, the dynamo room being in the
vicinity of the damaged part of the
ship.
The passengers most of whom were
in bed. were turned out of their rooms
in darkness and the men on the ship
passed out life preserVers by candle
light. The passengers, though badly
frightened, were not panic stricken
and after the first excitement busted
themselves by getting together their
belongings so when they reached the
landing they were able to disembark
quietly and without loss of property.
The officers of tbs Priscilla state that
the Powhattan he'd not been regularly
sounding her whistles but that when
she did at a late moment, h gave the
wrong signal and then the crash came.
The Powhattan stated that the Prls-
ella came suddenly out of a bank OF
fog and that the ships came together
after an exchange of signals before
anything could be done to avert a col
