The Anne Arundel democrats. after con-
siderable wranging over contested delega-
tons and the withdrawal of one-half of
each of four of the districts headed by
Isaac S. Nutwell. state tobacco inspector.
succeeded in nominating the following
county ticket:
For state senator, Edward C. CAN'T: for

gates, G. Ashby Duvall Richard Maynard.
Enoch w. Downes and John E. Potee:

Brooke, W. II. Hall; surveyor, Louis
Green.
The convention passed resolutions in
dorsing Edwin Warfield for governor and
instructng the delegates to the state con-
vention to vote unit for his nomina-
ton.
The Nutwell delegation after leaving the
convention went to Hotel Maryland, where
they passed resolutions protesting against
the admission of the Wells Bannon dele
gates to the state convention. and swearing
vengeance against the ticket nominated.
The convention one of the most
citing political gatherings here for many
years. The nominations are very unpop-
ular. and many predict the defeat of the
ticket unless harmony prevails. The county
is very close and is generally carried by
the party that has the most popular can
didates With the two warning factions in
the field 1t would be impossible to elect the
ticket this fall.

Colored Laborers to Be Prohibited
From Carrying Mails.

From the London Telegraph
An important dispatch from Mr. Cham
berlain to the governor general of the Ans
tralian commonwealth with reference 70
the Australian law prohibiting the emnIov-
ment of Asiatics-in particular I,ascars-
In the steamships carrying mails betwaan
the mother country and Australasia WAS
published yesterday As late as January
- last LORD Tennyson reported that the
piilie munster could see no prospect of
being able to modify the condition as 10
the exclusive employment OF white labor
ana mat his government consequently
couid not enter into arrangements by which
Ine employment OF colored crews after
January 81. 1905, would be sanctioned
Mr. Chamberlain. in the latest dispatcb
dated April IL. regrets that the Australian
legislation should render IT impossible to
cooperate In mail contracts, and that the
commonwealth government should consid-
er 1t desirable to dissociate themselves SO
completely from the obligations and policy
or the empire He points out that:
by the mutfny proclamation of 1858 the
crown declared itself bound to the natives
of its Indian territories by the same obli-
cations of duty which binds 1t to all its
other subjects and undertook faItbfuIIv
and conscientiously to fulfill those obiga-
lions. 1t would not be consistent with that
undertaking for his majesty's government
to become parties TO contract in which
the employment of his majesty's Indian
subjects is in terms forbidden, on the
ground of color only"
The matter. he urges. does not concern
the rights of the white population of Aus
tralia. as against an influx OF foreign Inn
migrants. or the conditions of employ
ment in Australia, but merely has TO do
with the employment of his majesty's In
dian subjects on a contract to be mainly
performed in tropical or subtropical wa
tiers.
Consequently, the colonial secretary raises
the question whether. in the event of the
postmaster general concluding a contract
for a fortnishtly service to Australia with
the Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navi-
cation Company cat an increased speed t1
alternate with a fortnightly service from
Australia under contract with the common
wealth. homeward mails be put on
board the vessels of that company under
the provisions of section go of the common
wealth post and telegraph act of 1891 con-
sIStently with the provisions of section 10
% of the same measure Notwithstanding
the fact that colored crews employed
on such vessels. Would such action come
within the limits of the law? The British
government assume that this would not In
fringe the Australian legislation. and ask
the opinion of the commonwealth.

Cleveland, Van Buren, and jackson
Thrice Nominated for President.

From the st. Paul Dispatch Dem.).
Mr. Cleveland's third term seems still to
be the stock in discussion of the politcal
situation 1t Tikes contemporary who
has lived through three Cleveland cam
paigns as somewhat amusing, the SOBER
ness with which this candidacy is received,
the solemnity with which Mr.. Cleveland Is
advised that the father of his country never
considered third term: that, indeed, when
such Lupercalian honor was offered MN
for the third time he refused. George Wash
ington is held up for Grover Cleveland
imitation. Like entagling alliances, the
third term is decided according to the opln-
ion of the first American.
Yet Mr.. Cleveland has run the campaign
gauntlet three times already. and he has
such illustrious predecessors as Martin van
Buren, and Andrew Jackson all OF them
honorable democrats. And one distin-
guished republican-Gen. U. s. Grant
would not Rave scorned a third nomination
if the Garfield dark horse had not proved
SO swift steed. Jackson and Cleveland
in fact, have each been elected three times
to the presidency of the United States-if,
Of course, ours was truly popular and
not a representative government jackson
was elected in 1924 with an electoral vote
Of 30, against the "a for John Quincy
Adams; but with Clay Of Kentucky and
Crawford of Georgia to break the solid
south, he failed In getting a majority of
the electoral vote, and the House seated
Adams in the presidential chair. By popu-
uar vote he won out by $1,000 increasing
that 20 13S,UO in 1928 and $4,000 in lSf2.
This gathering of momentum doubtless
gives apocryphal color to the story that in
the mountains of Tennessee and North
Carolina they are voting for "Ginneral
Jackson vet
Cleveland presents a similar case of hay
ing increased his popular plurality in three
successive elections from 23,st in 1854 to
81, 524 in 1888 and to $50 800 in 1892. The
electoral vote of the middle contest did not
answer to the popularity of Mr.. Cleveland,
Harrison getting 233 to Cleveland's 1GS,
whereas in the second struggle between
them Harrison won l45 electoral votes,
while Cleveland carried off 277.
1t is evidently then permitted man to
be thrice elected President of the United
States, but he must not be three times
President. The fateS. will, without doubt,
take care of this. and man may cease his
worrying and, If 1T seems good to Mr..
Cleveland-and to the democratic party
he may be permitted to make the run for
the fourth time His third plurality fell
tride short of 100000. McKinleys plurali-
ties over Bryan both near the million
mark, SO that there is a possibility of
Cleveland making a 100000 plurality and
yet losing the confirmation of the electoral
college If this be comfort would make
the most of 1t should 1904 present the phe-
nomenon of fourth nomination.

And Now It is Wall Paper.
e Philadelphia Record.

From the FhlIadeIphIA Rtc"rd.
wall papers are unhealthy" said a
physician. They destroy the porousness
of walls. If / had my way nothing but
whitewash would be used all over the
world. Wall paper closes our walls pores,
and thus. to certain extent, does US
harm Walls. you see. should be porous
like our clothes Ike our skin Clog up
the pores of Skins and die. Close
I'D the pores of cur clothes and We would
soon discard them. for they would be in
sufferable. But We are used 10 the clog
ging of walls pores. and therefore we
no longer notice the Inconvenience of It,
Some people argue that wall papers are
porous. My answer is that they may be-
porous when they are new. but as soon
as they get damp the pores fill up and
once filled there is no way to open them
again. Have porous walls l say. and, to
have them, substitute for wall paper white
wash"

FORTY FISHERMEN MEET
DEATH IN CRUNCHING ICE..
Lived In Shanties on the Frozen Bay
and When the Storm Came There
Was No Hope for Them.

Chicago. Feb, SIT is feared that 20
fishermen went to their death in the
storm which struck Saginaw by Tues
day night, says dispatch to the Trib-
une from Bay City. Mich. The men
were living in shanties on the ice.
The storm burst without warning
1t was accompanied by a binding swirl
OF snow and the waves crushed the
ICE in the bay upon which the fisher
mems huts were standing, into grind
ing, crunching mass Nothing has been
seen of the men or shanties since II
is known that two We're drowned and
little hope is expressed for the others,
James l., Fisk, a fish buyer, who
spent the night in his station. came to
the city last night ad said that prior
to the storm he could see plainly a
dozen shanties and men moving about
them, hut in the morning there was
no sign of human life on the bay, Two
men who We're in a shanty not far
from his place We're lost during the
night, cakes Of ice having mashed
their shanties TO pieces. He says the
other fishermen could hardly have es-
capped as they were still farther out
and nearer the scene OF the first break
ing up OF the Ice.

PORTER STOLE DIAMONDS,
But Was Captured After Two and a
Half Years,

Kansas City, Mo-, Feb S,-The ar
rival in this city of Mrs, ]. h. Brady,
a wealthy woman Of San Antonio, TEX,
accompanied by J. P, Womack, chief
of detectives of that city, proved the
sequel TO the arrest of Roland FitE-
hue Il negro, in this city December
-, 1909, and explained the mystery Of
\ robbery that occurred on a Pullman
coach near Rogers. Ark, Two years and
half ago, when diamond jewelry ag-
gregating in value $4,000 was taken from
berth occupied by Mrs. Brady and
which was recently found in the pos
session of the Fitzhue family. That the
negro had the diamonds was made
known to the police by a quarrel among
themselves. Thomas Fitehue complain
ed to the uolice that his brother, Ro-
land Fitchue. had robbed him of val-u-
able diamonds which he said were heir
loOms in his family, but the police did
not accept his story and learned upon
investigation that Thomas Fitehue was
the porter on the train at the time Mrs,
Brady was robbed.
All Of the jewelry has not yet been
returned, but Fitchue has informed
Mrs Brady that the stones not in his
possession are in a northern city and
will soon be returned to her Mrs,
Brady will not remain here to prose-
cute Fitchue.
