CONSERVATIVES TO RULE.
Alabama Democrats to Meet in Con-
vention Wednesday.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star. f. =
BIRMINGHAM. Ala, May 23-The DEM
ocratic state convention which meets In
Montgomery on Wednesday, will be dem
mated completely by the conservative ele-
ment Of the party, as an examination of
the list of delegates recently elected to the
convention disclOses.
b. Neither Hearst as a candidate nor Bryan
as teacher OF democracy will have any
considerable following. while it Is expected
that the platform adopted by the conven-
ton will make no reference to Bryan's
creed, ignoring such subjects as free silver
Imperialism. government by injunction and
the like. In fact the Kansas City and
Chicago platforms will both be overlooked
1t seems certain that conservative dele
cation to the national convention will be
elected. This delegation will probably con-
tain a majority Of Parker supporters, but
1t will go uninstructed, this being generally
conceded. While a majority will be for
Parker, the sense Of the convention will
be that the delegation be left unhampered
in order that 1t may see for itself what
the conditions are in st. Louis at the time
of the national convention and support
the candidate who seems best qualified to
win success and unite the party.

TO PUNISH BRIBERs.
Massachusetts, Legislative Bill in
Hands Of Governor b..

BOSTON. Mass, May 23--The state leg
slature passed bill. which has gone to
the governor for his signature, for the pur-
pose of stopping the corruption of employees
by the giving and receiving Of bribes- This
practice is said to be quite general through
out New England. and the manufacturers
particularly regard the corruption as a
curse" The bill IS very sweeping and
provides fine of not less than $40 or more
than $500 or Imprisonment for not more
than one year. 1t also probably covers
the cases of butler and other domestic
servants, who have an understanding with
the butcher, grocer and other tradesmen
from whom employers purchase household
supplies. "'

RAILROAD SUIT STARTS
DISTRIBUTION OF NORTHERN Sc
CURITTEs ASSETS.
Questions ut Issue Argued Before
United States Circuit Court
at Trenton.

TRENTON, NJ J.. May Assignment
was resumed before Judge BRADFORD IN
the United States circuit court today IN
the suit brought by E. H. Hartman ana
Winslow s. Pierce to restrain the pro-
posed plan of distribution Of the assets
of the Northern Securities Company.
Argument was opened by John G. john
son. representing the Northern securities
Company. He stated first that the contro-
versy was not one between stocKnoioers'
neither was 1t a claim that the directors
of the Northern Securities Company hao
exceeded their powers. What Is In dis
.pute. he said, is a plan of the Northern
Securities Company to distribute prop
erty which the complafnants claim to be
their own. The case, therefore, STANDS.
Northern Pacific railway stock which was
formerly owned by Hartman and Pierce
and which was afterward acquired by the
Northern Securities Company.
Mr.. johnson outlined a number of points
upon which he would base his argument:
Among other things. he said, the Dill or
complaint was insufficient because 1t made
no averment of title. The BILL he said,
violated the settled principles OF equity
that the compliments were guilty of
laches and that at any rate they could
not claim interest in new share Of COM
mon stock which they had never owned.
Caustic in His Remarks.
Mr.. Johnson was rather causuc in his
references to Mr.. Hartman, whom, he
said. became a director of the Northern
Securities Company, and that the stock
acquired by the Northern Securities Com
pany was acquired with the aid of Harri-
mans vote The stock held by Harri-
man and Pierce In the Northern Pacific
Company. he said. was sold to the North
ern Securities Company, and from that
time Hartman could have no possible
right in 1t other than the interest in COM
mon with the stockholders of the North
ern Securities Company in property be-
longing to that company. When the
Northern Pacific stock was sold to the
Northern Securities Company Hartman
and Pierce. with their eyes open, fore
went any further rights in the stock dis
posed of by them. Their present idea was
to secure for themselves stock of the
Northern Pacific Railway Company which
had gone up and to leave all other stock
holders of the Northern Security Com
pany to serve themselves as best they
could out of what was left and out of
what Hartman and Pierce in their bill
had claimed had deprecated in value.

of her sudden death at her residence in the
Rue Francois. Paris, France on Tuesday

DR.. Thomas e. Ridgway of this city, and

AUSTRIA UNEASY.
Report That Japs Have Been Stimulat-
ing Balkan Uprising yss

ing Balkan Uprising y,s
Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
NEW YORK. May 23-A cablegram from
London says there are strong indications
that the Japanese have been trying to
stimulate the Balkan uprising in order to
embarrass Russia. The unusually large de-
mands made for military outlay. in Aus
tria-Hungary are believed to reflect uneasi-
ness of the Vienna government on this
score.
Agents of Japan recently offered a large
subsidy to the Macedonian revolutionary
committee upon condition that the insur-
gents would set Macedonia in flame, but
the scheme fell through because Boris
SarafOf had promised Count Goluchowski
not to assist any outbreak this spring.
Russia Kept Informed.
Russia. it is said has been kept informed
concerning proposals, and Is fearful lest
they be renewed to a greater effect. This
Is the cause of her energetic representations
at Belgrade and Sofia. The necessity of
keeping an eye on the near eastern ques-
ton prevents her giving her whole atten-
ton to the far east.
The death of Abdul Hamid or Francis
Joseph. both old men, would almost in
evitably be followed by a Balkan upheavaI
necessitating foreign Intervention. hence
the lndecisfon of st. Petersburg regarding
the Baltic squadron.
Caution Equal to Valor.
Until the Japanese lost two crack war
ships, British experts regarded the caution
of the Japanese equal to their valor
Now they fear the mikados commanders
intoxicated with series of swift Victories
have abated their vigilance. A great move
ment upon Mukden. which is dependent for
success upon thanking Skill is being watched
with much anxiety.
