Mr.. eawthrop's Talk.

Alfred Gawthrop did not agree with
Mr.. Lobdell and said he thought COM
petition i'm the gas business would be
good thing. If the gas company had
done its duty, he said, il would have
put gas i'm South Wilmington years
ago. Mr. Gawthrop did not think the
committees report was as complete as
it should have been.
jerome b. Bell thought something
should be done to encourage the Otto
people to come here but doubted if the
Board Of Trade would be doing right
TO pass the Crozier resolution. He
spoke Of his trip to Philadelphia with
the Mercantile Association committee
and said from his talk with the Otto
Company officers he does not think
they will deal with the Wilmington
Gas Company.
George b. Hynson. I'm "a few remarks.
stated that he thought the situation
would be much clearer If there was
some proposition before the Street and
Sewer Department. At the present
time, he said, there is no application
before that body and therefore the
Board Of Trade newspapers Of the city
and others Interested have nothing TO
! discuss and act on. Mr. Hynson con-
/ tended that the franchise could not he
granted by the citizens or by the Board
OF Trade and 1t could only be granted
/ by the street and Sewer Department.
/ The terms of the application. he
/ thought, were most vital and inport-
ant. Nobody could discuss it or make
a recommendation intenigently until
/ the application Is made to the proper
authorities. which are the Street ana
! Sewer Directors.
Mr.. Kurtz was IN favor Of the Board

pie and asking them to make applica

Mr.. Bell thought In view OF the feel.

to make application.
Mr.. Marvel said the proposition re-
newed by Mr.. Mitchell had been renew.

pany had declined to have further to do

The Mask Of n hrnHe.

The directness of the appeal I'm liter
ary expression involves Il compleXity
Of revolt against old forms. The writ
er is more variously tempted than the
speaker into indirections. The latter
would never call the sun "the orb of
day" or by the classic name of "Phoe-
bus" Yet there was period In Eng
lish literature which lasted for long
time and is not even now wholly be-
yond the reach of our recollection
when 1t seemed breach of dignity for
writer to call anything by Its right
name. The concrete thing must be re-
lieved OF its vulgarity by the mask
of phrase. The horse was 'the feet
courser." and all fruits were indiscrim-
inately "pomona'S treasures" Quail
ties abstract enough In their common
names were redeemed from the vice
of particularly by personification. The
processes of abstraction and generaliza-
ton in the SO called classic age of
English literature uprooted all things
and set them floating In the air: the
mind was not simply n mirror reflect
ing things, but made composite photo
graphs of the images themselves Ma
ture was seen as IL bundle of these com.

MORMON QUESTION
 THREATENS TROUBLE
Consideration of Question Is Blocking Proceedings of Idaho Demo-
 cratic Convention.

Lewiston, Idaho. August 15.-Considera- tion of the Mormon question is blocking the proceedings of the democratic state convention which met here today.
 Tinted States Senator DuBois presented a radical nti-Mormon resolution. His resolution was softened to simply de- nounce polygamy and mixing of church and state, and promising to favor legis- lation to carry into effect those views. The prospect is now that the resolution will be defeated, and the national demo- cratic plank be simply re-affirmed
 Should the Dubois resolution fall. 1t is considered likely that Senator Henry Heitfeld, who today was regarded as ai- most certain to be nominated for the gov ernorship, will withdraw in favor or Maj. James H. Hawley of Boise, though 'ex-Governor Frank Steunenberg Is now being vigorously upheld for the candi- dacy by members of all factions.f
 It is unlikely that any nomination will be made tonight
 Richard H. Johnson was elected temper ary chairman of the convention when il convened today.

Esopus, N. Y. August 15.--Judge Par ker arrived at Rosemount from Winne- sock Lodge, at o'clock tonight with Mrs. Parker and his brother. Fred II. Parker.
 All along the nine mile drive from the club quarters to the railroad at Big h. dian the keenest interest was exhibited by the natives and cottagers in the demo- cratic candidate. He was repeatedly cheered.
 On the train the candidate was the cen- ter of interest, many passengers introduce ing themselves and shaking hands. At Esopus. the party was met by the Rose mount wagonette and taken home.
 The judge arose almost at dawn today and spent the morning quietly on the veranda of the various cabins.
 In spite of the effort to prevent any suggestion of a political character. the young people made 1t Parker day. at Winnesook
 The Kingston Point band was brought over and played during the day. Soon after its arrival parade of all the Win nesook folk was formed and marching around the lake, was reviewed at the end by Judge and Mrs Parker Verses were written for the occasion and set to the music of popular airs

St. Louis, August 15.-(Worlds Fair Grounds )-This was Scott" day at the exposition. The replica of Burns cottage was the central point of interest as the Scottish parade assembled on the esplan- ade before it. Maj. w. A. R. Stuart, late third Kings Own Huzzars, commanded the parade.
 At the conclusion of the parade Scot tish flag was unfurled at the Burns cot tage, being presented to the exposition by Colonel Watson. -itish commissioner. The flag was saluted by the Highland in- fantry.
 President Francis made an address of welcome and J. w. Dick, president of the Burns Cottage association, responded.
 After these ceremonies Scott day was celebrated at festival hall by music and addresses.

Determined to Get Satisfaction.

St. Petersburg, August 15.-The presen- tation of strongly worded Russian note to the Pekn government demanding an explanation of the A.yeshitelni incident, coupled with demand for the restoration of the destroyer, as foreshadowed by the protest sent to Japan and the powers, shows that Russia IS apparently deter mined to obtain satisfaction for the af- front It is thought that the least Japan can do is to surrender the destroyer un- less she wishes to place herself on record as defying the most categorical provis- ions of international law with the possi bilities of ultir.-te complications.
 Russian, Japanese and Chinese versions all agree that the vessel was captured in a neutral harbor. The charge of cow ardice and complici-y brought against the Chinese admiral is based alike on his failure to protect an unarmed vessel by his permitting the Japanese destroyers to enter the harbcr. It is pointed out that 1t was the admirars duty to place a guard on board the Ryeshitelni, taking off th Russian crew.

Fighting Days Are Probably Over.

Tsng Tau, August 15.--The Russian battleship Czarevitch and three torpedo boat destroyers are now in the hands of tke local German government for repairs but 1t Is improbable that these vessels will fight again in this war.
 Captain Truppel. chief of the military and civil administration of the protector ate of Kiao Chau, after having completed provisions for the neutrality of the crews of the Russian warships during their stay here, proceeded to go on board the Czarevitch. The crew of the battleship were alarmed at the advent of Captain Truppels party and seized their weapons. They were quickly quieted, however, and the commander of the Czarevitch was informed that 1t was necessary that the Russian nag be hauled down and remain down pending the completion of the re- pairs. The Czarevitchs flag was then low cred, amid impressive formalities. after which Captain Truppel visited each of the three destroyers whose flags also were lowered.
 It Is thought here that if the Russians persist in repairing their ships they will eventually have to dismantle them be- cause of the superior force of the Japa- nese. which is waiting for them outside the harbor. According to the regula tfons which govern situations such as the one existing here, the destroyers will not be permitted to leave in a body. but must go out at intervals of six hours.
 It is believed here that the Russian cruiser Pallada and Diana have reached Vladivostok.

NEGRO WILL CATO
 IS FOUND GUILTY No Hostile Demonstrations at
 Statesboro Trial VERDICT WAS AN TlClPATED Brother of Henry Hodges, Who, With Three Children, Was Murdered,
 Opens Session of Court
 With Prayer.

Statesboro. Ga, August 15.-At 7:1S to- night the jury in the case of the state vs. Will Cato returned a verdict after being out eight minutes of guilty. Judge Daily immediately adjourned court until s:so tomorrow morning without passing sentence on the prisoner.
 There were less than 100 people In the court room when the jury returned its verdict. There vase not the slightest evi- dence of pleasure or displeasure at the iury's finding as the verdict was antici- pated before the trial commenced.
 As soon as Judge Day announced q recess until tomorrow morning the court room was cleared. and after waiting a half hour, the prisoners were escorted back to the jail under a heavy military guard. Stationed every three or four feet from the court house entrance to the jail were armed men with fixed bayonets. After o'clock no one was allowed to enter the court house, heavy guards be- ing placed at each of the four entrances. In spite of wild rumors, all was quiet here today. Before court opened men were seen in groups on the streets and
  officer or any of the civil authorities was sufficient to disperse them.
 Military Already on Duty.
 Judge Daily found the local military already on duty. The talk of lynching was more prevalent outside of Statesboro than In it. The Rev H. A. Hodges of Texas, brother of Henry Hodges, who. with his wife and three children, were IA prayed for godly judgment, an unbiased verdict for the observance of the laws. He pleaded that the people stand by the court in its action.
 The state was represented by Solicitor General B. T. Rawlings and Col. II. B. Strange
 The following counsel was appointed for the defense: Messrs Anderson, Cone, Corry, A. M. Deal and Daniel Groover.
 Judge Daily urged that the guilty be punished and the innocent be given free dom.
 Plea for Observance of Law.
 "The entire country stands to your back where you observe the law" said Judge Daly. But no one is with you when you violate the law. I will consider 1t an insult to the majesty of the law and a personal insult to me if the law Is violated"
 Captain Hitch and the OgIethorpe Light infantry of Savannah reached the city at 1:30 o'clock. Captain Hitch assumed charge of the military forces, numbering 100 men.
 The following negroes were in the court room under military guard: VIII Cato, Paul Reed. Will Rainey Handy Bell, Dave Young, Elias Young, A. J. Gaines, David Bennett, Philip, DeCasse,. Ben Pen dennis, Hattie Reed, Ophelia Cato. Louis Cooper. All the men are supposed to be- long to the Before Day Club" An unusual scene was presented at the opening of the court this afternoon. The grand jury reported indicting Reed and Cato for the murder of Henry Hodges Cato was ready for trial and a jury was selected. The state elected to try the men separately. The indictments brought only one charge. the. murder. of Henry Hodges.

Squadron Tries to Escape.

Washington, August 15.-The Japanese legation today received a dispatch from the foreign office at Tolxio saying that Admiral Kamimura reports that at dawn on August IA his squadron discovered three vessels of the Vladivostock squad ron off Ulsan, southeastern coast of Corea. steaming southward. The Rus sian vessels on sighting the Japanese squdron attempted to escape northward but were prevented and fighting com menced at 525 a. m.
 All the enemy's ships caught fire sev- eral times by reason of the Japanese shells and suffered heavily. especially the Rurik. Eventually the Russians fled at full speed northward, leaving behind the Rurik which afterward sank. Throughout the whole engagement the Japanese squadron began the rescue of the drowning Russians and picked up about coo.
