ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
INDIANA DEMOCRATS INSTRUCT
THEIR DELEGATES TO VOTE
FOR NEW YORKER.

Indianapolis, May 13.-The most in
teresting Democratic state convention
since 1892 when Cleveland and Isaac
P. Gray contested for the control of
the Indiana state delegation to the ma
tional convention, was held Thursday.
The sole purpose Of the convention
was to elect delegates to the national
convention, the state convention for
nominating candidates for state Off.
GERS having been called for July 20.
The feeling of the delegates was in
tense when the convention opened
Thursday. The Hearst followers had
been wrought to high pitch of en-
thusiasm by rousing addresses by the
Rev. Sam Small of Georgia and S..
Dwindle of Chicago. The Rev. Sam
Small advised against voting for
Parker if he was nominated.
The convention Instructed the dele
gates to the national convention to
vote for Judge Parker for president
and endorsed Thomas Taggart for ma
tional committeeman.
The first test vote on the organlza-
tion of the convention showed the Par
ker forces to number 1904 and the
Hearst following 468, but the vote on
instruction for Parker was 954 to 5S2.

IMMENSE DOCKS AND PIERS At
PORT DALNY BLOWN UP
BY RUSSIANS.

Toxic, May 1.-THE Japanese dis
patch boat Miyako has been destroyed
in Kerr bay by striking submerged
mine. Two of the crew were killed
and twenty-five wounded.
The Miyako was lost while assisting
in the operations of clearing the Rus
sian, mines from Kerr bay, northeast
of Talienwan bay, on which Port Dalny
is situated. Admiral Kataoka, com
mander of the Third squadron, re-
turned there Sunday with detach-
ment Of his squadron, protecting two
f1otillas OF torpedo boats which had
been detailed to complete sweeping
the harbor by the removal Of mines.
Five mines were discovered and ex-
ploded and the work was being sus-
pended for the day when the Miyako
struck an undiscovered mine, which
exploded with tremendous force under
her stern on the port side and inflicted
immense damage on the hull. The
Miyako sank in twenty-five minutes.
Two sailors were killed and twenty
two men were wounded. The rest of
the crew were rescued.

ARMENIAN MASSACRE
TURKS DESTROY A NUMBER OF
VILLAGES AFTER Staying
THE INHABITANTS.

Paris, May 13.-An official dispatch
to the foreign Office from Constantine
pie confirms the reports that Turkish
troops have burned villages through
out the Sassoun district of Armenia,
killing the inhabitants. The French
ambassador, M. Constans, has joined
with the Russian and British ambas-
sailors in sending consuls to Erzeroum
in the hope of limiting the destruction
and bloodshed.
However, the official advices, al
though brief, indicate that the work of
exterminating the Armenians occupy
ing the mountainous district of Sas-
SCUM is practically accomplished. The
Turkish methods appear to have been
much the same as those adopted dur
ing the Armenian massacres. The
official reports do not give exact de-
tails as to the number of towns burned
and people killed, but they show that
the action of the Turks has been sweep
ing. The French authorities were ad-
vised some time ago that Turkey was
taking advantage of Russia's preoccu-
patton in the Far East and intended
to adopt a decisive course toward the
rebelliOus Armenians

In regard to the deadlock existing be-

and the Masters and Pilots associa-

among those attending the conference
in favor of continued resistance to the
demand of the masters and pilots.
Henry Coulby, a general manager of
the Pittsburg steamship company and
a member of the executive committee
Of the Lake Carriers association, has
issued statement in which he de-
clares he is in entire accord with the
position Of the Lake Carriers associa'

tors and pilots, and that he was aware
of the contents and approved of the
statement sent out week ago by
William Livingstone, president of the
Lake Carriers association.
At the meeting of the vessel owners
it was practically decided to not deal
with the masters and pilots as an as
ISOLATION, but to engage the captains
and mates as individuals. The meet
ing Thursday will be to have the
members of the association sign an
agreement.
The tieup of the big boats on the
lakes, pending the efforts of the vessel
owners and the Masters and Pilots
association to reach an agreement, is
more complete than ever before. 1t is
estimated that as result of the dis
agreement 10000 men are out of EN-.
ployment and that the daily loss on
