SAYS AFFECTIONS COME
AS RESULT OF WEAKNESS
The Rev. L. M. Ferguson Tells How to
Meet Them.

The Rev. L. NJ. Ferguson occupied the
pulpit at Wesley NJ. E. Church last
night, in the absence of the pastor, Or.
w. NJ. Ferguson. The text was taken
from Corinthians, xii:9: my grace IS
sufficient for thee, for Ny strength is
made perfect in weakness"
The speaker impressed upon his hear
ers that no matter how great their af-
flictions might be. the grace OF God
would be equal to their necessity. He
pointed out that Affections come as acts
Of Gods providence as a result of our
own weakness or ignorance, but taat
we should take courage, for the grace
OF God is sufficient for all. Continuing,
he said:
'"Fhis assurance, given Paul, teaches
US that We are not to become Respondent
under the weight OF the trials and sor-
rows that are the portion of the follow
ers OF Christ through the life militant on
earth. With the help of the grace that
is given US, we must perform our duties
as best we can, placing our trust in the
mercy which has been promised freely TO
all who truly seek it,

Labor Will Spend Holiday in Rest
Minus Parade Of Early Celebration
Many of the Larger Organizations Veto Plan Ideas
Vogue Several Years Ago for Observance of Day.

From present indications it appears
that the coming Labor Day celebration
on September will be one of the quiet

ital and organized labor. With the cx-
ception OF an excursion TO River View
and an outing at that resort, there Will
be no observance of the day.

the most elaborate celebrations on La

No Parades Since 1895.
Since 1895 there has been no Labor

sanguine when seen at the end OF the

COUNTY OF ALlEGANI
Is A POTENT FACTOR
Representative Mudd Con-
graduated by Friends on
His Victory in the South.
Sinews of War Employed.

BALTIMORE, Nd, Aug. Ito say
precisely who was victorious in the Re-
publican primaries in the counties on
Saturday would be venturing a Judgment
on insufficient data at this stage of the
game.
On the face of the returns. the figures
seemed to place the McComas, or organ
1zation, forces in the lead. But in many
quarters there were no contests. Some
local leaders seemed to be playing the
role of opportunists. and there are
claims and counter-claims as to several
counties Where they will land this
week when the conventions come off re-
mains TO be seen. Perhaps the "cruel
war" may not be finally over until Sep
TENDER 3, when the Baltimore primaries
are held.
Both Sides Confident.
The Republicans of Baltimore city
took deep interest in the primaries of
that party held in the counties satur-
day, and they gathered in large num-
bers at the various clubs yesterday to
discuss the result.
Both the organization people and their
opponents claim victory as the result OF
Saturdays contest. The organization
men are especially 1ubilant, claiming
that they will control the State conven-
ton even without the twenty-eight votes
Of Baltimore city. The anti-organlza-
tion leaders say that by carrying two
Legislative districts in the city they Will
have the convention. They conhdentl,
assert that they will sweep the entire
city.
Allegheny May Decide.
The Frederick convention, which may
be very important as a deciding factor
will be held next Saturday, August %
Allegany will not hold its convention
until Monday next, August "a. and Talbot
viii finish up the roll of county con-
venticns august %. The city of Balti-
more will finally end the round of Re-
publican conventions not before Septem-
Der 8. as already stated.
With the opportunities thus presented
and the decided talent OF the Republican
leaders for jockeying, the struggle for
supremacy may, therefore, be prolonged
for ten days at least. Every inch of ter
ritory has been stubbornly fought. The
battle of the ballots included all the
State OF Maryland outside of the city Of
Baltimore and Allegany county. In the
city the liveliest interest was manifested
and the telephone wires were kept hot
all Saturday night by anxious inquiriers
"Sinews of War"
The chief battle-ground in the primary
contests of Saturday was in Representa-
tive Minds district, with Prince George
and Howard as the strategic points. A
pretty fight was put up also against Mr.
Mudd in his home county. This was e
good deal like practicing the old Roman
principle of carrying the war into Africa
All accounts agree that the sinews o.
war were not lacking as was to be ex.
pected in a hand-to-hand conflict such
as two leaders like Mudd and McComas
were waging and negro voters 10 be con-
trolled.

No Amendments Offered.

That it would be certain death to the
treaty TO have 1t sent back to the
United States with amendments, every
one familiar with the situation admits.
There were many things about the
treaty that even its strongest friends in
the United States Senate did not like,
but they saw that if their side began
Offering amendments it would open the
way for the opponents of the treaty to
follow suit. In consequence they de-
cided to let it go as it was, trusting
to the joint committee. provided for in
the treaty. to overcome the unsatisfac-
tory points in the treaty by agreements
in regard to the manner of the control
Of the canal zone.
From now until the end of the month
will be the crucial period of the treaty

The re-establishment of cable commu-

Panama will have the effect of bringing
with the situation at Bogota, where the
Colombian congress is working out the
destiny CT the canal treaty.
Owing to a disagreement with the

rights 1t should have on the canal zone.
the Central and South American Tele-
graph Company closed its offices at
Panama and Brenaventura, and for
some time past there has ieen 20 cable

were sent through as special favor to
the United States. but beyond these all
communication was cut off.
Quick to Change Decision
When the Central and South Ameri-
can Telegraph Company learned that
negotiations had been entered into by
Colombia with other companies, and
that there were strong chances of a
great falling on in the earnings, an
nouncement was made to the State De-

Shanghaiing seems to be epidemic
along the South Atlantic Coast. Nor
folk is the port from which most COM
plants have come, but the recent
shanghaiing OF the nephew OF Governor
Rucker from Savannah, has brought that
port into especial prominence.
Most of the cases of shanghaiing
brought to the attention of the State
Department recently have been OF such
character that IL was impossible to
show a clear violation OF law. The Pa
ciic Coast furnished sensational case
several years ago when the son Of a
prominent minister was shipped to an
Asiatic port under conditions similar to
those surrounding the shipping of
Joseph Terrell Rucker from Savannah
two weeks ago. Young Rucker was
shipped, together with two other boys.

to the attention of the State Depart

have been referred to the Bureau of
Navigation. which is now investigating
them. Ulysses Brown. James Armheld.
H. Woodhouse. and H. Scott were ship
ped on the Jsibrook from Norfolk. They

to make only a short trip to Cuba. The
vessel was bound for England, and

Money Withheld for Bills.
Emmett Moss and Lewis Fry shipped
on the Cebriana for England from Nor
folk. Upon their arrival there the
money said to be due them was withheld
by officers of the vessel, who said
they had paid board bills for the
seamen in Norfolk before the voyage
was begun Information was filed
against Vance Mccarthy. hotel keeper
and shipping agent in Norfolk, who Is
charged with having wronged the two
seamen. Mccarthy has been held by 3
United States commissioner.
The cases OF Moss and Fry are not
shanghaiing. but are typical cases o.
violation of shipping laws which are
constantly brought to the attention Of
the Bureau of Navigation. In 1888 a
law was passed in this country limiting
the amount of money which a sailor
could allot before starting on a voyage
