RAPIST NARROWLY
 ESCAPES LYNCHING
A NEGRO IS SAVED FROM THE HANDS OF A NEW YORK MOB BY THE PRESENCE OF MIND OF THE SHERIFF.

Albany. N. Y, July 14.-The quick wit of a deputy sheriff at Coxsackie this af- ternoon prevented the lynching of James Little. a 19-year-old negro hailing from Summerhuest, N. J., who early this morning, near New Baltimore, criminally assaulted Emma Gale, aged Il years daughter of Joseph Cole, a farmer living one mile back of New Baltimore.
 The negro escaped after threatening the child with death. Two other children had given the alarm and MT. Cole and nelghbors met the child coming home and at once organized party to SCOUT the woods. A description of the negro was sent to nearby towns, and an hour later he was captured on the railroad track near Coxsackie by Roy Cutler. He confessed the assault and was locked up.
 In the meanwhile news of the capture reached New Baltimore and a mob of 150 enraged farmers started for Coxsackie, augmented by number of striking Cox sackie holders and rivermen, all frank ly vowing their intention to lynch the ne- gro. Deputy Sheriff Sumner Yanloon, realizing that the coming of darkness would mean the breaking of the flimsy To- cal lookup and the violent death of his prisoner. smuggled the negro out and took him down the river on the boat to Catsxill. where there is a well-bult Jail.
 The Cole child is seriously injured but may recover. Her father and the neigh boring farmers are in terrible state of excitement and but for the deputy's quick action would certainly have lynch ed the negro.
 The negro Little says he has been llv- ing In Albany until yesterday when he started to walk to his home in New Jer- sey. His confession fully corroborates the story told by the children.

CONVENTION WILL
 BE VERY EXCITING
Republicans of Kentucky Are
 Assembling at Louisville
BELKNAP IS CONFIDENT
His Friends Claim That Their candi- date Will Be Nominated on the First Ballot-stand-Pat
 Resolutions In Order.

Louisville, Ky, July 14.-On account of the fierce struggle between two Louisville candidates for governor the republican state convention, which will be opened in this city tomorrow afternoon. promises to be a thoroughly exciting one. Already the hotels have begun to fill up with the dele gates, the full representation amounting to twenty-two hundred and seventy votes in the convention. The situation in the race for governor has apparently reached a phase where the nomination of dark horse will follow the failure of the Bel knap forces to win on the first two bal lots. There are three candidates in the field-Col Morris B. Belknap. a Louis- vile wholesale merchant Hon. Augustus E. Wilson, a Louisville lawyer and Judge Clifton J. Pratt state attorney general.
 The BellSnap leaders are claiming the nomination of their candidate on the first ballot. his strength being estimated at from nine hundred to twelve hundred votes.
 The state central committee met tonight and selected Maj. William c. Owens to act as temporary chairman. John W. Yerkes has been offered the permanent chairmanship, but it Is understood that he desires to head the committee on reso- lutions in order that Roosevelts interests may be looked after
 There Is an element, fairly respectable In numbers, which opposes an indorse- ment of the Presidents candidacy at this time, but as it is part of the Bell1nap strength 1t is not believed that the anti administration will jeopardize the chances of their candidate for governor by oppos- ing Roosevelt resolutions. The resolutions insofar as they concern tariff and trust questions will be of the stand pat flavor, the sentiment in this regard being practically unanimous.

 "Our reception in England has been most cordial and enthusiastic" said Admiral Cotton Nothing could exceed the cour- tesy extended to us on all sides from the King and Prince of Wales, the the off, cals of tn, government and officers of the army and navy. to the people of Lon don and Portsmouth. have no doubt that the result of the visit of the American squadron will prove beneficial in the ex- treme, and that 1t will tend to strengthen the cordial relations which have long ex isted between the two countries"
 Prince George Sends Picture.
 Admiral Cotton Is highly gratined at the receipt of a photograph from the Prince of Wales bearing the inscription, George, Portsmouth, July 13, l9o3."
 Admiral Cotton and the other American officers gave Captain Hemphill all the honor for the part played by the Rear sarge, whose presence contributed in such a remarkable degree to the visit. We have been killed with kindness" said Captain Hemphlll. Our reception could not have been better in any shape or form. I had the pleasure of meeting peo- pie in the English service whom I have never seen for many years It Is impossi- ble to express our appreciation of the courtesies shown us, and we are deeply indebted. especially to Admiral Sir Charles T. Hotham, commander-in-chief of Portsmouth Capt Arbuthnot and Capt. Sir Archibald Milne"
 Another Eienor Conferred.
 Another hoinor which was commented on by the English visitors was the action of Admiral Hotham in permitting the use of the royal gangway during the after noon reception, which was attended by 2O00 persons.
 By the route that Captain Hemphill has selected for the speed trial the Kearsarge must steam 2S52 miles. On her way to Southampton she made 3245 miles She is thus expected to take less time on her impending voyage.
