LEWISTON DEMOCRATS WANT
STATE CONVENTION HELD HERE
Chairman Of County Central Committe Calls a
Meeting for Tomorrow Night...Politi.
clans Will Soon be Active

S. l.. Mcfarland, chairman of the
democratic county central committee,
has issued a cali for all democrats to
meet next Saturday night at the city
council room in the city hall. The
meeting will be principally for the pur-
pose of devising ways and means OF Sc
curing for Lewiston the next demo-
cratic state convention, the date OF
which will soon be set by the state
central committee.
During this meeting other matters OF
interest will be taken up by those In
terested and it is presumed that the
matter Of how many primaries shall
be held here by the democrats to elect
delegates to the various conventions
AS vet nothing definite has been
learned with relation to this matter
but some members of the party are IN
favor of holding one primary for poth
the state and national conventions by
sending one set of delegates TO botn
conventions. This view of the matter
is looked upon differently by other
democrats and it is believed that sepa :
rate primaries will eventually be held
for two different sets Of delegates. IL
has been stated that possibly one set
Of delegates may be elected to attend
both the county and state conventions
but the national state convention viii
require separate primary.
The democrats in this county have
not been very active as yet at leas'
on the surface, but the time is ripe fo'
the political sea to boil. Many names
have been suggested as possible can
d,dates for county and state offices Blu
1 tho conditions are such that no avowet
candidates have sprung up. There Y
! nossibly one or two exceptions to TIM
statement. however. 1t is conceded
that Senator Heitfeld is the leader
the party in the state, in so far as tn
future patronage is concerned, and Wi
lead the Hearst forces in the campaig

any candidate. 1t is expected that
there will be a warm fight on between
Mr. Heitfeld and w. P. Hurlbut for
control of the state organization Mr..
Heitfeld is most DESTROYS of attending
the national convention and it is stated
on good authority that Mr.. Huriput
aspires to that honor as well. Mr..
Hurlbuts views on the presidential
question are not generally known. In
fact he has not expressed himself sum-
ciently to learn whether he is in the
Hearst wing or Cleveland wing OF the
democracy. 1t has been stated that ne
is Cleveland man or for some one OF
his stripe but probably Mr.. Hurlbut
will set the guessers at rest when the
proper time arrives.
The spectators are wondering what
democrats from this county Will seek
representation on the state ticket this
wear but the possibilities have kept In
the shade or then there is none. IT is
known that G. w. Tannahill of this
city would like to be rendered the at
torney generalship and F. u. culver
who was candidate last year wouio
not be adverse to accepting it. Geo
u. Storer. ex-state treasurer is looked
upon as a likely candidate for another
term in that berth though ne says ne
is clean ont of politics. Mr.. storer II
an avowed Cleveland man and should
that stripe win out in the national con-
| vention ne will likely have something
to say in this state. No one has turnee
I'D as yet who would like to carry hi
part of the assessment this year as
gubernatorial possibility but Senator
Heitfeld is looked upon as the oni!
available man from this county. Tn
senator says that he is not out for thi
thonor but there are many who beiie''
that he could be induced to accept.
AS for the other state offices ant
those of the county ticket, it is expect
ed that when the ball starts rolling
will begin to pick up material

Another Battle.

Emperor Nicholas has received the
following telegram from Lieutenant Gen
eral Baron Stakelberg bearing yesterday
date
"a battle began at noon around the
Russian position, four and one-half miles
south of the station of Vafangow, the
enemy making repeated attempts to dis
lodge our left flank. The attack was re-
PEELED and we retained our position. The
First regiment, occupying the left flank
of our position, sustained severe losses.
Its commander, Colonel Khavastounof,
and Adjutaut Sub-lieutenant Dragoslafl
Nadochinsky were killed. General Germ
gross was wounded, shrapnel bullet
SCATTERING the right side of his lower jaw,
but he remained on the field"
The general staff remained in session
until almost o'clock yesterday morn
ing to translate and give out Lieutenant
General Baron Stakelberg's message an
nounciDg the fight at VaiaDgow. This
unusually late hour indicates that the
authorities attach considerable impor-
lance to the dispatch. 1t is thought in
St. Petersburg that the Vafangow affair
may prove TO have been quite a heavy
fight

Word has been received by the State
Denar,ment from Consul General Gum-
mere at Tapgier that Raisuli has greatly
increased bis demands. He has now IN
formed the Sultan that he will not re-
Jesse Perdicaris and Marley unless the
Sultan turns over TO him four provinces,
in addition to the money ransom prevl-
ously demanded. Healso stipulates that
three nations, including the United
States, shall guarantee the fuliillment OF
the conditions. This new development
has not caused any change in the policy
of the State Department, however, which
is to refrain absolutely from political
recognition of Raisuh. The belief is
growing at the State Department that
Raisuli, will continue to increase his de-
mands until he reaches point where he
knows that he cannot expect more.
Theoretically, rubber culture is
very alluring proposition, but thus far 1t
has never yielded any pratical result, "
said United States Vice Consul General
Conley, in a report to the Department OF
Commerce and Labor from Mexico City.
He says that despite repeated warnings
school teachers, preachers, and other
persons working for small salaries In the
United States continue to invest their
savings in rubber com paDies about which
they know nothing. He says the wilder
these schemes are the more eager these
persons seem to be to invest in them.
Rubber culture was experimental with
for wears in other countries before its Gull
tiyation was undertaken in Mexico and
the experiments have always been iali-
ures. There is no reason, he says, TO
believe that this cultivation ia Mexico
will prove any more successful.
The proper method of replying to
former Assistant Attorney General Ty-
ner's protest and appeal to the President
for vindication on account OF his recent
acquittal was further discussed by the
President today in conference with At
torney Knox and Holmes Conrad, the
special attorney for the government IN
the postoffice cases. President Roosevelt
is expected to make reply to the letter
CT General Tyner justifying the prosecu-
ton of Tyner and what he said bent it
on the ground that it is supported by
evidence within the possession OF the
government.
Representative Aston G. Dayton, OF
West Virginia, prominent member OF
the House committee on naval affairs,
has, it is stated, been invited by Presi'
dent Roosevelt to become The new Secre-
tary of the Navy to succeed Secretary
Moody. who will become Attorney Cen
eral as soon as General Knox retlres.
Naval officers, with few exceptions, are
extremely anxious to see Judge Charles
II. Darling, the present Assistant Secre-
tary of the Navy, selected to succeed
Mr.. Moody. Among other names men
toned as a probable appOintee to the
position of Secretary of The Navy is that
of Representative Melcalf, Of California.
1t is believed here that he would prefer
to be appointed Secretary OF Commerce
and Labor.

Strike Declared off.

After six weeks of tie-up on the
Great Lakes that has directly involved
only couple of thousand men, but in
directly more than hundred thousand,
who have been idle because of its exis-
tence, cessation was brought to the
strike last night by the surrender of the
masters, who, with the pilots, have been
holding out for more uniform scale OF
wages this season than was offered by
the Lake Carriers Association, whose
boats were most affected by the difficulty
between the vessel owners and their
employees. The strike was declared off
at Cleveland, Ohio, last night by Paul
Howell, district captain OF the Masters

WEDNESDAY EVENING. JUNE Is, 1904

OK MONDAY last George Wagner, a
resident of Bridgeport, Conn, possessed
of ample fortune and devoted to his fami-
~ killed himself in the Morton House,
Broadway and Fourteenth street, New
York. Wagner was credited with being
n member ofthe famous "1S" Club, OF
Bridgeport, which came to be more wide
To- known on account of the sell-destruc-
zion Of several of its members, as the
USuicide Club" He was the sole survl-
vor of the organization, of which he Is
said TO have been the thirteenth member
and in the absence of any known motive
that would prompt him to end his life,
and owing to the coincidence OF his hav-
ing planned his suicide for the thirteenth
day Of the month, the gruesome record
Of the 1S" Club is again brought
to notice. With the death OF Wag-
ner the last name is stricken from
the roll, and practically all OF the
members have died by their own acts.
It is no uncommon thing to read OF
.thirteen clubs' and suicides of mem
bers of these organizations. Such oc-
currences bring to mind similar crazes
which prevailed in the world III by
gone DAYS, when numbers of people
were seized with a mania to destroy
themselves. In Olden times we are told
it was the custom to erect huge wooden
structure as tall as a church steeple to
represent a mau, and as many people
entered the interior as could possibly
crowd into it, after which it was ignlteo
and a holocaust followed. With all the
advances in modern civilization people
seem to be possessed of manias similar
to those prevailing in primitive days.
and they crop out now and then IN
stbirteen clubs" and the rash acts Of
their members.

THE GAZETTE's Geographic columns
this evening contain dispatches descrlb-
ing a terrible disaster to the excursion
steamer General SlOcum eff Brothers
Island, opposite l3Sth street, New York.
Il is feared about five hundred persons,
mostly women aud children, have lost
their lives. The steamer took fire In her
upper works, aud the flames spread so
quickly that many were compelled To
lump overheard. Most of those who leap
ed into the water were drowned, while
others who remained aboard were burned
to death. 1t has been long time since
such disaster has occurred on a steam
boat in this country, and it is hoped
the managers of such steamers running
on the Potomac take precautions concern
ing fire as well as other contingencies.
Over-crowded steamboats, are often seen
in the summer season moving up and
down the river. A fire and a panic
would result in the burning or drowning
of many helpless women and children.

THE FIRST municipal elections I'M
der the new constitution we're held in
the several cities of the State yesterday.
The vote cast in most of them was
small and as a rule, but little interest
was taken, the recent primaries having
virtually settled the question as TO who
would be elected. The democrats swept
the State, aud only in few instances
did the republicans offer any opposition
to democratic tickets.
