PILGRIMAGE TO ST. PHILLIPS.
Capt. S. A. Ashe the Orator of the Day
Before the Colonial DANES.
(Special to News and Observer

Especial to News and Observer
Wilmington. N. c., May 13.-The
most delightful of the events enjoyed
by the Colonial DANES and friends tc
the number of about 800, was the fifth
annual pilgrimage to the ruins of st
Phillips church at Old Brunswick to-
day. The weather was delightful and
the outing was the most successful in
years. Capt. S. A. Ashe, the orator,
was introduced by Prof. r. d. w. Con-
nor, of the Wilmington high school
Capt Ashes address was historical
and dealt largely with the resistance
of the Cape Fear people to the Brit
ish stamp act in the early colonial
days. A detachment of the Whining
ton light infantry under Sergeant
George Davis accompanied the ladies
as an honorary escort and at noon
fired a salute of thirteen guns in honor
of the original thirteen States. The
Fort CaSweil band also ac-
companied the party and discoursed
patriotic airs at the historic spot. De-
votional exercises were conducted by
Rev. r. w. Hogue, rector of Saint
James church, Wilmington, and the
assembly sang professional hymns as
they marched in and out the enclos-
ure. The ladies have done much to-
ward restoring and preserving the
ruins of the old church and were
much encouraged with the success of
their pilgrimage. today.

A DEADLOCK IN ILLINOIS.
Republicans Get RiOtOus-tail to
Agree on Candidate for Governor.
(Bv the Associated Press. J


Springfield. May 13.-After a con-
tinuous session of more than twelve
hours and after many ballots the Ill
inois Republican convention tonight at
1928 took a recess until IL
o'clock tomorrow morning without
having named a candidate for Cover
nor. During the long hours the con-
vention was in session it was in prac-
teal deadlock and when by general
consent recess was taken tonight,
neither of the seven candidates had
secured an advantage of any moment.
Each was holding practically by his
original strength. While the tiresome
balloting went on the party leaders
held frequent conferences, trying to
effect a compromise, but all of their
efforts were for naught and there is
nothing in the situation tonight 10
which the prediction of break to-
morrow will show. The convention
was the largest ever held in the State.
The great convention hall was packed
with fully 10000 people during the
session, and at this time the scenes
were most turbulent only the good
nature of Joseph @. Cannon Speaker
of the National House of Representa-
tives. who presided, preventing utter
riot in the convention hall.
The Yates Lowden combination was
in complete control and the opposition
decided to make no fight against the
seating of Yates and Lowden dele
gates, realizing that they would split
when the question of nominating a
governor was reached! nor was there
any discussion over the platform, and
the four delegates at large to the Ma
tional convention, Senators Cullom
and Hopkins, Speaker Cannon and
Governor Yates were selected by ac-
clamation
At the end of the fifteenth ballot the
vote stood: Yates. 495; Lowden,

Seoul, Monday, May s. via Shanghai,
May 1S.-The Second japanese army,
numbering 10000 men, left Chinampo
on eighty-three transports on May 4.
The soldiers were crowded on board
the vessels in the closest manner, che
ship having $500 men on board. So
closely were they packed between
decks that exercise was impossible and
very little air was obtainable, but in
spite of these discomforts there was
no grumbling.
The Japanese merchants soldiers
and coolies are becoming arrogant and
the Koreans are subordinated and
helpless.
The Japanese have established q
naval base at Port LaZaref, on
Broughton Bay, short distance
north of Gensan. The entrance of Port
Lazaref is defended by mines.
The Russians squadron at Vladivos-
took is practically bottled up by the
Japanese fleet. Japanese scouting YES

ed on substantial basis we note that
Jack Grey, the Mono county freighter,
passed through town yesterday with
the first shipment of ore from the new
camp, consisting of IS sacks and it
is estimated that the ore will average
81 a pound. 1t goes to the Reno
reduction Works and is in charge
OF NJ. Bryan, one ofthe owners of the
mine.
Jack took no chances on having his
treasure stolen and to one not ac-
qnainted with the facts his load APP
peared to consist of sheep pelts. As
an extra percaution he uses the wagon
as lodging house.
This is the first shipment and it
argues well for the future prosperity
of the camp.
