SAN FRANCISCO, Sept 13.-An in
spection of the cruiser Lena's boiler
was made this morning under direc-
ton of collector of the Port Stratton.
On receipt of the inspectors report the
collector forwarded it to Washington
and postponed further action until he
hears from his superiors. The nature
of the report is not divulged, but it
undoubtedly will result in the exten-
sion of time requested by the Lena's
commander. The collector also sent Il
long report To the department and the
question of the part of the collector
may take in the matter is topic of
much discussion in government circles.
The navy department seems to have
taken the matter in hand without con-
sidering the collector and the treasury
or the commerce departments and the
impression is they will carry the mat
ter to the end independently.
The claim is made that the navy is
entirely responsible for the behavior of
the Russian vessel while in port and
for that reason is keeping extremely
close watch on the visitor. All during
the night patrol WAS maintained but
nothing untoward occurred. AS soon
as the expected permission to the Lena
to make repairs arrives the vessel will
be hoisted into the dry docks of the
Union Iron works and the work will be
pushed With all vigor under close
watch of the government or naval Of
| fcials In anticipation of this order
prepa rations for commencing work
Without moments delay are being
made at the ship yards.
The excitement in the japanese
quarter over the presence of the Lena
| is becoming intense. At all their meet
| ing places the warship is the sole topic
of conversation. The more radical are
indulging in rabid utterances.

having heard that the Japanese hav.
| offered to swim to the Lena, with ex.
plosives to blow the vessel up. AL

SENSATION DEVELOPED
BY ATTORNEY JOHNSON

Like intimidation

That County Attorney Miles S.

is alleged this afternoon by the vic

in this city yesterday, Last night it
was believed that the 'hatchet was
buried between the opposing political
factions but the actions of the county
attorney. Miles S. Johnson, today is
believed to have reopened the tight and
it is now the general opinion that he
will pick up the remnants of his fol-
lowers and carry contestlng delega :
ton from the West Lewiston precinct
into the county convention which meets
here next Thursday. The Teller rep
resentative this afternoon learned that
something seemed to be stirring in Il
political way and it soon developed in
the person of city policeman Gentry
who appeared at the depot and read IA
citation to c. II. Chase, who was chair
man of the judges in West Lewiston
precinct yesterday, in which citation
Judge Chase was ordered to appear
before Prosecuting Attorney Miles S
Johnson in his Office in the Adams
block with list of the voters of yes
terday and answer such questions as he
might PROFOUND. The citation is pub
lished below in full Judge Chase who

of leaving on the Clearwater train

placed all the papers and the ballots
in a secure place until ready to deliver
them to the proper authority He left
on the Clearwater train without COM
plying with the request of the county
attorney. 1t is understood today that
many OF the reputable citizens of Lew

tions of the county attorney in his ac-
tions at the primaries yesterday.
Miles s. Johnson is a resident of
Central Lewiston precinct but much of
his time was spent yesterday at the
polls in West Lewiston He took the
position of emi-challenger in West
Lewiston and when called to account
then used his official position to in
timidate the voters In the West Lew

intimidated by his utterances to the
extent that they left the polls without
voting. In one case, after being called
to account, he said Il am the prose-

In the world where cotton can be

NEW YORK HAS sEsr CLAIM

There is more or less general inn
preston that States and cities in which
National conventions.ar held are matt
urally influenced in favor of the party
represented, we'll thinks the Houston
Post.
Just now the Democrats of New
York are saying that they will be in
better position to carry their State next
November if the Democratic conven-
ton is held in New York city. The me-
tropolitan press is helping the move
ment along, and already 1t has assumed
proportions so considerable as to at
tract much notice,
It is practically a foregons conclu-
sion that Democratic president can
not be elected unless the electoral
vote of the Empire State is thrown
into the Democratic column.
Therefore, if there appears to be any
ally good and valid reason to be-
lieve that the holding of the conven-
ton there will assist in carrying the
State, it should be held there by all
means. OF course, the natural prefer
ence is for centrally located point,
but this will doubtless not be allowed
to interfere with the selection OF New
York if it can be shown that the Dem
ocratie cause in the State can be
helped.
Furthermore, since the chances seen
to favor the nomination of Judge Par
ker, it would be peculiarly fitting anc
appropriate that the convention which
names him should be held in hi:
own State 1t may be urged in this
connection, and with much force, tha
if Judge Parker can carry New York
be can carry it without the convention
being held there, but, obviously, The
meeting place must be selected while
the identity of the nominee is yet
matter of speculation.
If some one other than Parker il
nominated the fact that the nomina
ton is made in New York may i'm
prove Democratic chances there
There are many things to be nsid
cred in the selection of the city il
which the convention is to be held AM
there is no doubt of the complet
ability of the National committee t.
act wisely and for the best interest
of the party The committee will
meet in few days now, and whateve
it does Will doubtless be satisfactor
to the party as a whole.
