Robert M. Lafollette was again chosen
TO head the Republican State ticket of

John NJ. Whitehead by an overwhelming
majority. With two exceptions the ticket
a whole went through as figured out in
advance. These were the nornina tions for
state treasurer and railroad commissioners.
John Kenpf, of Milwaukee, won in the
contest for state treasurer by aid of the
stalwart faction which switched its votes
before the ballot closed. This was the
greatest surprise sprung in the convention.
as Joseph G. End. of sheyboygan. was
looked sure of the nomination. How
ever. when the switching commenced it
continued until Kempf had big lead and
finally landed the nomination by a unani-
nous vote. John W. Thomas, of Chippewa
landed the nomination for railroad COM
missioner over Jonas Swenholt, the slate
candidate in a similar way.
Perhaps the most exciting contest of the
day was the place on the ticket for superin-
tendent of public instruction between Carey
and Harvey. Numerous candidates made
the work of the convention slow.
Governor Lafollette was given great
ovation upon being escorted to the con-
vention hall after being notified of his
nomination. The delegates arose en- masse

Former Inmate of Founding Hos
pitaI Whose Anxiety to Learn His
Parentage Caused Dementia.

NEW YORK, July H.-Henry F. King,
thirty years old, entered the office of the
New York Founding Asylum this after
noon and shot two Sisters of Charity. He
then ran into the grounds of the institu-
tion and shot himself in the left breast,

Angelina, forty-ive years old. shot in the
right arm. and Sister Cecilia. thirty years
old. shot in the left arm and side. Neither
was fatally hurt.
King. who has been a frequent visitor to
the founding asylum, is believed to be de-
mented. He suffered for some time from
melancholia. according to the police, and
on May was arrested IN the yards of the
institution after he had attempted to com
nit suicide by taking carbolic acid When
he was arraigned King said he had begged
the authorities of the founding asylum
to give him information about his birth.
but that they aad refused TO do So This
so angcred him. he said, that he did not
know what he doing.
King came TO this city in 1898 from Bal
timore and commenced a search for the
identity of his parents. In June 1900, he
obtained an order from the Supreme Court
directing the authorities of New York
Founding Asylum to show cause why they
should not allow him to examine the books
Of the institution. He asserted that he had
been placed in the institution in 1871 when
a baby, and in 1873 was farmed out TO
Thomas II. Gardiner of Bryantown, Md.
with whose family he remained until 1894
when he went to Baltimore. He claimed
the books of the asylum would disclose
the identity of his parents. The applica-
ton for the writ was argued before Justice
OGorman, when Jane c. McCrysal, the
treasurer of the asylum since 1865 stated
the record of the books was correct:

LONDON, July 17.-Details of an impor-
tant move by Russia, which have evidently
been suppressed hitherto by the censor.
have transpired in London. This llove is
30 less than a proposal by the imperial
government for an international conference
to deal with trusts.
Baron De Staal. Russian ambassador in
London, about ten days ago presented TO
the British government note from NJ De
Witte, the Russian minister of finance.
which note was sent also TO all the powers
that signed the Brussels sugar convention,
proposing that those powers should con-

national commerce against the artificial
depression of prices, not only by govern
ment measures, such as export bounties or
the control of production. but also by the
much more dangerous processes adopted
by trusts private undertakings or cartels,
which tend artihcially to influence the
market

note of NJ De witte which. the paper said.

of the principles of The Hague conven-
ton"
ST. PETERSBURG. July 1S.-The Finan-
cial Messenger says NJ De Witte's note
protests against Russia being placed on the
same footing as those states which grant
export premiums to the sugar industry and
also contests the right of such states TO
impose special taxes on sugar of Russian
origin, as being contrary TO the most IA
vored nation clauses.
Commenting the note, the Financial
Messenger says: Failing an International
agreement, there is only one remedy, name
ly, increased customs duties. In proposing
common international action, Russia proves
that she would prefer not isolated isolation
in her own particular interests, but a joint
agreement based upon the general welfare
and solidarity of all the states"
