Arrives Ia Paris Today.

Paris. Sept. 14-M. witte, presi-
dent OF the Russian council OF ministers
will arrive here this afternoon. His visit
is unofficial. The belief which exists In
several quarters that M Whites appoint
ment TO the presidency OF the council was
not wholly a promotion also prevails here,
as the Car declined M. Whites request
to allow him TO continue at the head Of
the ministry Of finance.
II Ia understood in the best Informed
quarters here that the complications In
the Manchurian Affairs contributed to M.
Whites retirement from the ministry OF
finance where he dominated the naval.
war and other administrative branches.
There is also reason 10 believe that NJ.
witte lately has been unsympathetic to-
wards France.

SOCIALIST
PARTY IN
CONVENTION
James {. FuTI0ng Chosen as
Candidate for Governor at
Meeting In Labor Temple.

Though there was no preliminary blow
ing OF horns or broadside announcements
represen tatives OF the Socialist Labor
party gathered yesterday afternoon in the
Labor temple and chose their candidat tes
which are 10 be supported at the fall
election. This is the ticket chosen
For governor-James z. Furlong, l2s
Thayer street.
For lieutenant governor-Henry r.
Thomas. 81 Hudson street
For secretary OF state--James B. Allen
sol Westminster street
For attorney general--Aibert ID. Hol-
mer. 30 Powhatan street.
For general treasurer-Abraham . p
Workman. 2S4 Willard avenue.
The chairman Of the meeting was John
II. Floyd OF Pawtucket and Henry F.
Thomas Of this city acted as secretary.
After some discussion OF a set of reso-
lutions was reported by a previously
chosen committee 10 be Incorporated IN
the state platform and the question OF
nominating candidates was taken up,
Henry +. Thomas was hrst nominated
for governor, He did not feel that he
was ntted for the office and declined and
later Mr.. Furiong consented 10 run.
One OF the resolutions presented re-
lated to the question Of making imme-
diate demands In the way Of changes in
the laws. Some favored a campaign on
the issues aid down in the national plat
form, leaving state questions TO be set
tied when the party strength eventually
gains. II was decided that the commit
tee be increased to seven members and
that report on resolutions for a plat
form be made ut an adjourned meeting
to be held next Friday evening at
o clock.
The Socialist party has among its ar
ticles the declaration that "sll radical
and reform parties. including the SO
called Union Labor parties. have. after
brief existence. uniformly succumbed
10 the influence OF the old political par
ties. and have proven disastrous to the
ultimate end OF the labor movement"
Whereas" IL is declared. ANY alli-
ance. direct or indirect. with such par
ties is dangerous to the political integ-
rity and the very existence OF the So
ciaiist party and the Socialist move
ment."
A press committee was chosen, con-
sisting Of Messrs Bpsten. Floyd and Hig-
gins.
This convention was the first which
the Socialist party has held in this state
and II Is totally different organization
than that which has been known as the
Socialist Labor party.
