CALLS A SNAP CAUCUS.
MCARREN JARS DOYLE.
Latter Won't Haze Time by TO-mor-
rO7C to PreTfnt Instruction.

Senator Patrick II. McCarren played a shrewd
game yesterday in calling a caucus of the six
ty-three delegates to the Democratic State Con-
venton from Kings County for tomorrow night.
This quick action has taken Deputy Fire Com
missioner Doyle by surprise. and he will have
little time I'm which to try to win the delegates
away from McCarren's idea of an instructed
delegation for Parker. There is little doubt that
McCarren viii win.
OF the slxty-three delegates chosen Satur-
day night. twelve are known to be anti-McCar-
ren men. They are the delegations from the
lid Assembly District. headed by Hugh Nc
Laughlin: from the With, headed by William
A Doyle: from the IXth. headed by James J..
Kehoe, and from the XIth. headed by Thomas
r. Farrell and James Shevlin.
An examination OF the delegations from the
seventeen other districts would seem to show
that all Of them will be for McCarren and an
instructed delegation for Parker. 1t is not alto
gether sure tha. Mclaughlin VIII attend the
caucus. but. i'm case ne does not. his alternate.

high an opinion Mr.. Mclaughlin has Of David
B. Hill cannot see how it is probable that he
would oppose instructed delegation for Park
when he knows that such Instructions are do

Farrell and Shevlin VIII follow Mclaughlin
closely in all thai ne does.

SAYS Minister.

The Rev. John Coleman Adams. Of Hartford,
preached last night at the Church Of the Divine
Paternity Seventy-sixth-st. and Central Park
West. on The Larger Race Problem as the
Great World Peril" Mr. Adams quoted statistics
to show how many foreigners come to the
United States every year, and said that large
proportion Of them were ignorant immoral and
vicious.
There are only three ways in which we can
deal with this element" he said. First. we can
extermnate them and that solution is not so
far away some of us may imagine. Our fore
fathers pursued this policy with the original
owners of the land. Second, we can sink to
their level. or. third we can lift them to ours.
This is the world battle against the sluins
The real effort Of the missionaries is not to save
souls because they realize that a higher mission
is to uplift them. II is by the elevation of their
children that this may be gradually effected
and II we are not doing our share in this battle

NO HILL-P1RKER SPLIT.
Senator McCmren Says Spring Con-
UentiOn VIII 1dOpt No Platform.

Denying that there was any difference between
Ex-Governor Hill and Judge Parker over a ten
tative platform for the coming Democratic State
convention. which Mr.. Hill is supposed to have
drawn, Senator McCarren said last night that
there would be platform Of any Kind at the
spring convention. Certainly. none was pre-
pared now, he said. There would simply be n
set OF resolutions. instructinG for the candidate
THAT story about disagreement over a plat
form is false" declared Senator McCarren. ITO
the best Of my knowledge, there has been no
thought of a platform. Certainly there is moth
ing prepared for the coming convention. II
isn't customary TO have platforms at the spring
convention. Why. you could search Hin all
over, and you wouldn't find platform on him.
The convention will elect a committee on reso-
lutions. with couple Of other committees. and
this committee resolutions will present a set
instructing for the candidate chosen. This is
usually done in very simple. plain language.
There might be a few references TO Democratic
principles, in general terms. which would not
be at all in the nature Of n platform, but
think there will he just the plain resolutions OF
instructions.
What about the convention IN Brooklyn. SEN
ator? How many delegates are you going to
have?" was asked
To this the Brooklyn leader would not reply
directly. He did not want to he talking all the
time ABOUT the majority ne would control, he
said. The results I'm Brooklyn spoke for them
selves, he thought.
The number OF my delegates will he told more
accurately at the caucus Tuesday" he went
on II think I'll let that show for me- The unit
rule will be discussed there. and the tnstruc-
tion business gone into fully

considerably amused at the Significance which
had been attached 10 his trip. II was he said
entirely for pleasure. He saw Mr.. Murphy il
true. but only for moment on the board
walk. Mrs. Danforth there. and In the
moments conversation no politics entered Mr.
Danforth said. The only Tamnany man with
whom he talked at all was Judge Mcmahon.
and the suppositon that he emissary
for Mr.. Hill rather amused him. As 90 the con-
vention. he thinks it will instruct for Judge
Parker
You see New-York State must head the pro-
cession" said Mr.. Danforth. for the moral
force 1t would exert. other States will come
booming along. but Judge Parker's State
certainly must instruct for him. I think there
is no doubt whatever about 1t. There will GER
tainly be a majority Of Parker delegates. 1 don't
know what may happen In caucus but don't
fear that there will he no instruction"
Mr. Danforth did not know of any fight over
a radical platform written by Mr. HILL He didn't
believe that one had been prepared.

Plan of Land Cam paign.

japanese warships were sighted off
Port Arthur. and the Russian fleet
was held ready for action, but the ex-
pected assault on the town failed to
take place. No fighting was reported
from other points in Manchuria.
Russia's policy, it was reiterated,
would be to draw the japanese far
into Manchuria, and there to fight a
decisive battle.
Russian soldiers and sailors at the
front were not required to attend Eas-
ter services. Many of the officers sent
greetings to St. Petersburg.
