MORE THOROUGH INSPECTION.
Another ExaTination to Be Made Of
Russian TRANSPORT,

San Francisco, Sept 15.-Another
and more thorough inspection of the
Russian cruiser Lena will be made
during the day by naval engineers in
order to furnish the state and navy
departments with more complete data
concerning her boilers and seaworthi-
ness. In the event that the Lena is
dismantled she will probably be laid
up at the Mare Island navyyard. Rear
Admiral Goodrich has been directed
by the navy department to offer the
navyyard to Captain Berlinsky for that
purpose.
The watch kept on the Lena is even
more rigid than at first. The gunboat
Bennington has moved nearer to her
and the patrolling launches are re-
lieved every day. It is reported that
Japanese Minister Takahira has cen
sured the local Japanese consul, NJ
Uyeno, for demanding that Japanese
inspectors be permitted to inspect the
Lena and pass on her need of repairs.

BETWEEN oDELL AND PLATT.
Fight for Control of New York Repub.
lican Convention.

Saratoga, N. Y, Sept. 15.-The ap.
parently tanglad political situation
here had resolved itself by the time
the Republican state convention actu-
ally met into plain contest between
Governor Odell and Senator Platt,
which the former and his friends until
the last moment were trying to keep
from taken open form upon the floor
of the convention. There is no antag-
Onism between Governor Odell and Mr.
Woodruff and none between MI. Wood
ruff and Lieutenant Governor Higgins.
It was made plain that Mr.. Woodruff
was not averse to an amicable settle
ment of the conflict between his own
and the Higgins interests. 1t was the
uncOmprOmising attitude of Senator
Platt in behalf of Woodruff and
against Governor Odell and the Hig-
gins movement that prevented the pro-
posed conference and precluded the
possibility OF Mr. Woodruff's honora-
Bile withdrawal from the contest, or q
compromise which might have resulted
in the selection of a third man for the
governorship nomination.
The convention was called to order
soon after noon, former State Senator
J. Sloat Fassett being chosen tempo
rary chairman.
The appearance Of former Lieuten-
ant Governor Woodruff evoked a burst
of cheers and Senator Platt, who fol-
lowed soon afterward, received an ova-
tion that lasted several minutes.
Governor Odell was not in attend
ance.
In opening his speech Temporary
Chairman Fassett said:
mot being a Democratic nominee
for the presidency shall have no hes
itation in discussing public issues.
He then reviewed the growth of the
Republican party FOR the last fifty
years, saying it's greatest asset is the
record of what it Had done and in
quiring why there Should be a change.
A sentence that immensely pleased
the convention was:
1T means better chance today for
a child to be born under the Stars and
Stripes than under any other flag be-
meath the SUM-
While the cheering at this senti-
ment was in progress the band began
to play "The Star Spangled Banner
and the delegates rose and sang the
song to the end
At 2:15 p. m. the convention took a
recess until II o'clock in the morning.

coNFlscATIoN OF COTTON.
London Papar Objects to Decision OF
Prize Court.

London, Sept. 15.-The Globe says
that the decision of the Vladivostoll
prize court to contiscate that portion
OF the cargo of the British steamer
Calchas consisting of hour, cotton and
timber consigned to Japan, if con
tirmed by the Russian supreme cou. /,
amounts to complete ignoring Of the
protest lodged by Great Britain at It.
Petersburg against the inclusion OF
provisions in the Russian list of con
traband Of war. The paper adds:
"It has also been stated in behalf of
his majesty's government in the house
of commons that raw cotton would
only be regarded as contraband when
destined to make explosives. This
manifest shows there were thirty-six
bales of cotton on board the Calchas,
consigned to trading companies IN
Japan. The shipment from AmeriCa a
also was purely commercial. The de-
cision of the prize court, if allowed to
pass unchallenged by Great Britain,
amounts to nothing less than a pro-
hibition of commerce between this
country and Japan"

CRUISING IN The PACIFIC
LENA ONLY ONE OF SEVERAL
RUSSIAN SHIPS LOOKING
FOR CoNTRABAND.

~
st. Petersburg, Sept. 15.-The admi-
rally still declares it is without Off
cial advices relative to the presence
of the Russian transport Lena at San
Francisco The. possibility of her dis
armament and other kindred questions
will not be discussed and decided un-
til the admiralty is in possession Of
full facts regarding the situation. Tel
egraphic inquiries, however, have elic-
tied the information from Vladivostok
that the Lena was sent to the Pacific
with the view of stopping the shipment
of cOntraband of war. There is an in
timation also, but this is not official,
that certain other vessels, probably
merchantmen purchased in Germany
and converted into armed cruisers, are
in the Pacific on similar mission If
the United States declines to permit
the Lena TO have ample time in which
to make complete repairs, without
which she could not venture to under
take long voyage either back to Vlad-
ivostok Or home by way of Cape Horn,
it seems probable that Russia will ac-
quiesce to the decision to disarm her,
There is no disposition here to crit
icise the course of the United States
so far as it is revealed in the press
dispatches.

MISUSE OF RED CROSS FLAG.
Russians Complain of Jap Methods at
Port Arthur.

ChefoO, Sept. ia communication
has been received by the Russian con-
sui here from General BalashOff, chief
of the Red Cross at Port Arthur, re-
questing that the same be made pub
lie. The general charges the Japanese
with gross violation of the Red Cross.
He says on Japanese dead have been
found notes written in Russian re-
questing that their bodies be buried,
but when Russian burial parties at
tempted to fulfill these requests they
were fired on. Such instances, General
BalashOff adds. are numerous and the
Russians are now afraid to trust to the
Red Cross flag. He states that the
japanese also protect movements of
their troops by the unlawful use of the
Red Cross flag

ANOTHER VESSEL COMING.
Said Russian Cruiser Is Due at Pa.
cific Port.

Paris, Sept. 15.-The correspondent
Of the Echo de Paris at St. Petersburg
has telegraphed his PAPER as follows:
"'The ministry of marine tells me,
regarding the arrival of the Russian
transport Lena at San Francisco, that
another vessel, the Korea, is also due
at an American port on the Pacific.
Orders have been sent to the Russian
ships to scrupulously conform with the
American neutrality rules, which are
expected to permit them taking on
enough coal to reach Vladivostok l
consider the situation very delicate, as
there is evidence that the ships were
destined to prevent the transport of
contraband goods from the United
States to Japan and perhaps capture
vessels carrying contraband."

CONTEST in
WISCONSIN
Fight Over Regularity of Republi-
can Ticket Now Before
Supreme Court.
Attorneys For La Toilette Object
to This Move By Anti
Third TermerS.

Madison, Wis, Sept. 15.--When the
supreme court convened during the
day to take up the contest over the
regularity of the Republican ticket all
the judges were at their seats and the
courtroom was crowded.
The first proceeding before the court
was the filing of an amendment to the
complaint The anti-third termers at
tach great Importance to the action of
the old state central committee in GER
tifying the nominees and the amend
ment attacks the regularity of this
committee and it's right to fill va
cancies.
H. w. Chynoweth, for the La Fol.
lette ticket, objected to this amended
complaint, stating that it was an en-
tirely new matter and should be ad-
mitted in the form of a supplemental
complaint.
After the answer to the amendment
was filed Mr.. Olin asked that the
statements in the answer be verified
by exact dates and facts concernin
the designations. This Mr.. Chynowetn
agreed would be done and would be
submitted to the court later in the
day.
National Committee Supreme.
The brief submitted by George G.
Greene of Green Bay, for the anti
third termers, deals almost entirely
with the claim that the Republican ma
tiOnal committee is the highest party
authority and claims that the court
should not try the numerous issues of
fact raised by the pleadings, but
should enforce the decision of the ma
tiOnal committee and convention, un-
less the statute has specially vested
the power OF decision in some other
officer or tribunal; that failing deci-
sion by the highest party authority or
such special tribunal the court should
not try such issues but direct the nom
nations of each convention to go on
the ballot On an equality
The contention of Mr.. ChynoWeth,
attorney for the La Toilette ticket is
that the state central committee is the
only legal authority to decide which is
the regular ticket; that this body was
created through an act of the legisla-
ture and that their decision should be
final The answer of the La Toilette
faction attacks the national committee,
the credentials committee and the ma
tional convention itself.
The arguments continued through
out the day.

sHANAHAN WILL CASE DECIDED
Surviving Heir of Dead Priest Awarded
Small FoFtune.

St. Paul, Sept. lg.The shanahan
will case, one of the most famous
equity cases ever littgated in Mime
sofa courts. has fr5.1y been settled
after dragging asone5$ass e. x years.
Six years ago Father Shanahan, Il
Caledonia (Minn.) priest, died, leaving
behind an estate valued at $4,000,
which has since increased in value to
over 100000. He willed the estate
to Bishop Cotter, his superior, to be
applied to the education of young men
for the priesthood.
Bridget Shanahan. supposed to be
the only surviving heir of the dead
priest, and who had been only a short
time in this country, went to Caledo-
MIA and engaged attorneys there to
break the will. The case was carried
to the district court, which decided
that the trust in the will was void un-
der the Minnesota law. which provides
for indefinite and vague beneiciaries
The decision just rendered ends all
litigation in the case and places the
heir in possession of small fortune.
