Affairs at New ChWang.
CIV the Associated Press

New Chwang, April 1.-THE British
gunboat Espiegle, which has been station
ed here during the winter, sailed today.
The departure of the Espiegle removes a
cause of embarrassment to the Russian
authorities and enables them to put into
execution a system of martial law consis-
tent with the demands of the situation.
The Espiegle was the last foreign warship
at New Chwang, the United States gun
boat Helena having left here some ten
days ago.
The last of the merchant steamers LETT
New Chwang today and the shipping COM
panes have notified their agents to send
10 more vessels here, consequently it is
expected that henceforward commerce will
be practically at standstill.
The streets of New Chwang are no Ion
ger lighted at night and the movement OF
boats on the river at night is prohibited.

Empire State Republicans
Demand Freedom of
Ballot for All.
(By the Associated Press.


New York April 1.-THE Republican
State Convention in session today, named
as delegates at large and alternates to the
national convention at Chicago:
Senator T. C. Platt. alternate ]. stoat
Fassett.
u Senator S. NJ Depew, alternate, Eras-
tus Stern.
Governor B. B. Odell. alternate Evastus
c. Knight.
Frank S. Black, alternate Henry c.
Brewster.
The platform strongly endorses the al
ministrations of President Theodore
Roosevelt and Governor B. b. Odeli. and
the delegates at large to the national con-
vention are directed to use all honorable
means to secure the nomination OF Theo-
dore Roosevelt.
There VAS some discussion over the TACT
that these directions" included only the
delegates ut large, but Governor Odeil eX-
planned that in this way:
''Since 1880, when we abandoned the
plan of selecting the district delegates the
not instruct the district delegates. Those
delegates are elected and, if desired By
their home conventions, are instructed.
This direction of The convention to the
delegates nj large to secure Mr.. Roose-
velt's nomination is the strongest possible
way in which the matter could be put.
But one incident out of the expected
routine occurred. and that was the intro
ducing by Warner Miller of the so-caIled
Quay resolution, demanding an investga-
ton by Congress of the alleged ,disfran-
chisement Of negro voters in the South
ern States. 1t was the same resolution
that the Pennsylvania Senator introduced
at the Republican national convention in
Philadelphia four years ago. Without de-
bate it was referred to the committee on
resolutions, which at its session during
the recess declined to incorporate it in the
platform, which contained a clause cover
ing the subject.
Immediately after the adjournment the
State committee unanimously elected
Governor Odell as chairman. :.
The platform in endorsing President
Roosevelt declares:

exhibited in meeting all the requirements
