the full vote of this convention on
all questions which should come up
for disposition. 1t would be neces-
sary, he said. for the convention to
continue its life until after the COM

be carried out, will select candidates
for the remaining places on the

fed by the formal Nomination by the
democratic convention of the candi-

make the ticket democratic really

Germ Captain Explains Amusing Incl
dent of Manila Battle.

Berlin, July S.-Captain Pohl who was
on board the German cruiser Irene In
Manila harbor, relates in the Marine
Runsschau what he deems to be the
"amusing basis of the American miscon-
ceptions of the attitude of Germany to-
wards the blockade He says the band
of the Irene played an American air after
saluting Commodore Dewey's flag and the
Spanish pilot thought 1t was the Spanish
coronation hymn and related the incident

printed this version of the incident and
the Spaniards in Manila and elsewhere
showed an enthusiastic liking for every
thing German, the commander of the
volunteers of Iloilo telegraphing to the
commander of the Irene his thanks for
the sympathetic demonstration
The Americans in Manila, therefore,
according to Captain Pohl. believed the
pilots story, but Commodore Dewey,
knowing the facts. laughed at them.

MOODY WANTS TO
STOP NEWS LEAKS
IN THE COMING MANEUvERs HE
WILL ATTEMPT TO KEEP THE
MOVEMENTS MASKED FROM
NEWSPAPERS AS A TEST.

Washington, July Sup to this time
the War and Navy Department officials
have considered but two factors In the
coming joint army and naval maneuvers
on the Atlantic coast In September-the
invading and defending forces. Now, ac-
cording to the plans Secretary of the
Navy Moody. there is to be third fac
tor. The press of the United States. The
object of the maneuvers is to simulate as
closely as possible conditions of actual
warfare and the secretary believes that
as the press plays such an important part
in real war, 1t should be seriously con-
sidered In connection with the coming
maneuvers. Therefore. he contemplates
throwing the press correspondents of the
country upon their own resources; mean
while, having both invaders and defend
ers regard the news gatherers as a COM
mon enemy and endeavor to mask the
movements of their forces as much as
possible from the public.
Secretary Moody points out that his
plan will be valuable in bringing to light
news leaks" for which officers are
found responsible will be reprimanded
and in proving by practical test how
thoroughly the forces can elude the
vigllant correspondent and guard against
the escape of information.

MORE TROUBLE AHEAD.
Leroy Says Purchase of Friar Lands
Would Not End 1t All.

Detroit July S-The Tribune publishes
this morning open letter from James
A. Leroy, former secretary to Dean c..
Sworcester. of the Philippine commission.
in which the writer makes a detailed
analysis of the friar lands question. He
holds that the purchase of the lands
by the United States would be only a
partial solution of the trouble and inti-
mates that the only solution lies in the
direction of the Catholic church taking
the native priesthood by the hand and
educating and encouraging the Filipino
priests as the only spiritual advisers in
whom the natives would repose conf
dence.
He says the natives would fear that
American Catholics in the islands would
fall under the influence of the friars and
adopt a mean or rinion of the natives.
Regarding tho feeling against the friars
among the smaller parishes, Mr.. Leroy
says:
There is in nearly every parish in the
island a certain determined element which
in case the ecclesiaatical body assert
their rights under our laws and send the
friars back to the Parishes, would or
ganize actively in hostility. and there is
no doubt that assassination would result
in some plac IS.

JURY EVIDENTLY FIXED.
Judge Dlsmisses Entire Panel to Avoid
Any Suspicion.

Detroit, July S.-Judge Alfred J. MUIR
ply of the Recorders Court created a
sensation in the carly proceedings today
for the trial of Frank C. Andrews former
vice president of the wrecked City Saw
ings Bank, which began this morning, by
dismissing the entire panel of jurors
drawn for the July term of court. Judge
Murphy said in explanation of his ac-
ton:
Owing to the fact that I have received
certain information affecting members
of the jury summoned to appear in this
court today. I consider 1t proper In the
interest of justice and for the people to
discharge all the jurors summoned for
the rest of this term. / believe this action
will be approved by sll the honest and
intelligent jurors. 1t will relieve them
from all suspicion that might be aroused
by the information which 1 have re-
ceived'
While 1t has not developed in court, 1t
has been rumored that several of the
members of the jury were very friendly
to some of Frank c. Andrews close per-
sonal associates These are the rumors
that Judge Murphy undoubtedly referred
to. However, he will not go into particu-
lars.
Andrews attorneys answered that the
ruling of the court in regard to the Jurors
took them by surprise and entered an ex-
ception.

Wilkesbarre Pa, July 8.-The Associat-
ed Press is able to announce that the
National Civic Federation which tried
SO hard to prevent the anthracite coal
miners strike, has not exhausted all its
means in an effort to bring about peace
In the anthracite coal fields. The inves-

A few weeks ago Walter e. Well a

coal and also as to whether the increase
of wages of the mine workers had kept
pace with the increased price of the ne
cessities of life.

U. s. GETS FIRST NEWS.
Fixing of Coronation Time Published
In America Before London.

London, July S.-The news that the
coronation of King Edward was to be
held before the middle of August was
published in America before it was
known here
But.the London Times and other papers
this morning confirm the Associated
Press announcement. From the same ex-
cellent source the Associated Press
learns today that the pressing forward Of
the coronation was due to the personal
insistance OF the King.
His doctors were at first opposed to
such an early date, but the King declined
to agree To any other plans until he Is
crowned, and the doctors, finally realiz-
ing that more danger was likely to arise
in opposing his majesty on this point
agreed to 1t. They now see the King was
right and that 1t will be far better for
him to go through the turmoil of the
coronation as soon as possible than to
have 1t hanging over him for months.
King Edward has determined not to
break up the court at Buckingham PAT
ace until after the coronation. He may
go on beard bis yacht for a few days
cruise but he is more likely to remain in
London till the affair is ever and then
take a pr olonged holiday.

THIRST FOR BLOOD
OF THE MURDERER
NEGRO sEAMEN ARE MuTINous
AND KEEP VESSEL MARY SAN
FORD IN TURMOIL THROUGH
OUT VOYAGE FROM BLUEFIELDs

Pensacola, Fla, July S.-A sensational
story of mutiny and murder on the high
seas is told by Captain Mcdonald Of the
American schooner Mary Sanford which
has arrived here after an eventful voy-
age from Bluefields, Nicaragua. During
the voyage one man was killed and the
crew were in almost constant mutiny,
clamorous for the blood of the man who
murdered their shipmate. The murderer,
First Mate Nicholson, was placed in Jail
soon after the arrival of the Sanford in
this port.
The Mary Sanford left Bluefields June "a
and when four days out A. G. Nicholson,
the first mate, killed Fred Reed. a negro
West Indian seaman, because he did not
perform some duty to suit the ideas of
the mate.
When Captain Mcdonald saw what had
happened he ran and overpowered Mich
olson, took the pistol from him and threw

in irons and kept under strict guard un-
til the vessel reached the Pensacola quar-
antine station. The United States mar
shals office was told of the murder on
the high seas and Nicholson brought here
ana locked up. He will be given a pre-
liminary trial before United States Com
missioner Tunison. One of the ships of
ficers stated that Immediately after the
Killing four West Indian seamen, coun-
trymen of the dead man. openly resented
the murder of Reed, and threatened to
hang Nicholson from a yard arm. The
captain two mates and steward were the
only white men on the vessel and the
combined watchfulness of this quartette
prevented a marine session of Judge
lynch's court. Reeds body was wrapped
in sails and buried at sea a few miles
from where the shooting occurred

Washington, July s.-The State Depart

ward completion of the Colombian treaty
looking to the acquisition of the right of
way Of the isthmian canal. This is a
slight change In the original programme
which contemplated the complete adjust
ment of title before concluding the
treaty. Secretary Hay has taken steps
to give to the protocol submitted to the
last session Of Congress the form of
treaty and TO have 1t signed formally by
accredited representatives of the govern
ment of Colombia and of the United

laid before the Senate as soon as it con-
venes IN December.
By adopting this course the State De-
partment will remove, 1t is expected any
chance of having the agreement already
reached with Colombia disturbed by any
thing that may occur as to any political
changes, as 1t is the purpose to hold such
agreements once duly upheld are not
strictly to be repudiated In the event OF
a change of government.
The protocol referred to was so definite

tion as will meet these objections.
No difficulty Is experienced In securing
an abatement of the old provision in the
canal franchise requiring the use of
French material only in the construction
Of the canal and the state department
alre ady has received nn assurance from
the French government which it regards
as meeting the objection on that score.
