JUDGES SIDE WINS.

Hartford, Conn.,, May 6.-In one of
the stoTmiest gatherings the party ever
held in Connecticut, the Democratic
state convention today chose IA dele
gates to the st. Louis convention and
instructed them to vote as u unit and
for Alton B. Parker, of New York, as
the presidential nominee. A climax
came at the end of two hours of angry
debate between Hearst and Parker DEL
egateS in what escaped by a hairs
breadth of being personal encounter
in full view of the convention between
former Governor Thomas NJ Waller CT
New London, and DR.. F. J. Brothers, of
New Haven. The question being deba-
ted was the substitution of the minor
ity report of the committee on resolu-
lions for the majority report. The
former report favored an unpledged
delegation, the latter a pledge for Par
ker and the unit rule. Personalities
were banded back and forth, the at
tack on Governor Waller accompany
party in 1886. Much of the actual de-
bate between the chief participants in
the incident was unheard in the up
roar but their actions could be seen.
They were forced almost into personal
contact by the delegates croWding
about. The incident was quickly
smoothed over. The minority report
was refused substitution 366 to 1856.
showing that the Hearst delegation
were outnumbered.
Row in the Caucuses.
Hartford, Conn, May 6.-PreIiml-
naries were practically all arranged
today in preparation for the business
of the Democratic state convention,
although several committees did not
take a recess until nearly daylight.
1t was not until the reports of all the
caucuses had been made up that it
was definitely known that Parker dele
gates had won II of the 2 caUcuses
and that Alexander Troup of New
Haven, the leader of the Hearst fac
ton, had controlled his own county
caucus by only 10 votes. National
Committeeman Homer S. Cummins
and former Governor Thomas N. Wal
Ter for the committee on resolutions,
prepared recommendations that the
state convention instruct its delegates
to vote for Parker at St. Louis and to
vote as a unit.
All the county caucuses were lively
affairs and in one, that of Hartford,
blows were struck and a few drops of
blood spilled. The Hearst men on
finding themselves in the minority, re-
sorted to obstructive tactics, and the
same thing was done by the Parker
men in New Haven convention which
the Hearst men controlled The con-
gressionaI district caucuses were a. lit
tie quieter, LIt the Hearst men in
each instance were aggressive until
roll call had shown they were in the
minority.

son, the wheat being backward on the
average and in North and South Dakota
the general stand does not average up to
normal condition for the date. That
serious damage has been done has not vet

sltuatlon Is more apparent now that the

are made that Kansas will not raise over
cation of 100000 to so, 000, 900, and while
TINS latter estimate is probably overdone,
the fact remains that the yield has been
cut down very materially and that the

lrrorn our regular correspondent.)

Trom our regular correspondent)
WASHINGTON, May ia sensation,
which has been threatened in connection
with affairs in the Patent Office for some
months developed to-day, when 1t was
learned that President Roosevelt mad
taken hand and ordered that Thomas
Edison, the wizard of electricity, be given
a hearing before the Commissioner of
Patents.
Some months ago Mr.. Edison applied
for his patent. The examiner in charge
of the case allowed another inventor to
withdraw his application for an electrl:-
cal patent. and amend it so as to cover
filed by Mr.. Edison This Is utterly con-
trary to the practice OF the office. 1T
was not long before Edison heard OF the
way In which the other inventor nag a
once protested. His attorneys asked Com
missioner Allen for q hearing, but Mr.. All en-
refused It. Then it was that It was de-
termined to take the case to the Presi,
to be close to Mr.. Roosevelt. was en-
gagged by Mr.. Edison also. and the new
lawyer made the presentation to Mr..
Roosevelt, after having first gone again
the case be heard. Mr., Allen was obdu-
rate still, and then the whole matter
was Laid before the President: 1t IS SAID
the President expressed himself very for
chilly when he heard all the facts of the
case, and at once ordered that hearing
be given Mr.. Edison.
Thomas A. Edison occupies peculiar
position in this age, Mr.. Roosevelt is
quoted as saying, land what he asks is
Furthermore not at all unreasonable"
But Commissioner Allen refused to sit
in the case and 1t was heard by Assist
ant Commissioner Moore. A decision
has not yet been delivered. The result
is awaited with the greatest interest. 1t
is predicted that there will be some
changes In the personnel of the Patent
Office before the matter Is done with. 1t
is believed that Commissioner Allen and
the examiner who had charge Of the Edi-
son application are In an embarrassing
position.
