Communication With Land Kept Up
During Transatlantic Voyage

New York, May 14-The first dele
CATION of the foreign mechanical en-
gireers to arrive in this country to at
tend the international convention at
Chicago were passengers on the
steamer Campania, which arrived to-
day from Liverpool and Queenstown.
They were Herbert Jewson, s. H
March and G.. Crowdon Marks. Three
hundred and fifty more engineers are
expected to come on next week s
steamers. Among the other passen-
gers on the Campania was William
Marconi. who came over with several
assistants to continue his experiments
at the GIace bay station, Cape Breton
Mr. Marconi says he succeeded in
maintaining constant communication
with shore stations during the voyage.
The success of these tests. he says,
insures the publication of a daily
newspaper at sea. A new set of in
struments, which had been prepared
especially for use in the trials made
during the voyage, enabled the oper-
atOrs to communicate with the eastern
shore for a distance of seventeen hun
dred miles. In the mean time, before
signals with the eastern shore failed
the station at Glace bay, on the west
shore, had been picked up and COM
munication was continued uninter-

STILL DEADLOCKED.
Illinois Republicans Ballot Nineteen
Times Without Result.

Springfield, Ill, May 14.-Before the
Republican state convention met all
sorts of rumors were afloat today re-
garding the governorship fight. The
gains made by Lowden yesterday have
made his followers Jubilant. The Yates
men however, said that their forces
were solid.
Despite Chairman Cannon's strict or
GERS to permit none but delegates and
alternates on the convention floor the
crowd which gathered broke over the
barrier of assistant sergeants-at-arms
and the policemen. The hall was soon
packed with a surging mob.
The shouters for the rival candidates,
who had yelled themselves hoarse the
previous day, had provided themselves
with new devices for making a din and
carried tin horns. whistles and sirens
with which to keep up the enthusiasm
of their delegates. The Deneen people,
who had been wanting in banners the
previous day, came in with hundreds of
small standards bearing the name CT
their candidate.
Prior to the beginning of balIoting,
Chairman Cannon asked the friends of
the candidates to refrain from demon
strations. THANK God he said. it
has been demonstrated in a two days
meeting that this convention is COM
posed of 1,500 men who are not affect
ed by banners and huzzahs."
The first order of business was the
taking of the sixteenth ballot Amid
great cheering Dekalb county broke
from Yates and voted for Lowden.
The ballot resulted:
Yates 472 As; Lowden 42s; Dineen 3S1
Hamlin ITO 3-5; Warner 38 As; Sher-
man 81 3-5; Pierce q.
There was much delay after the 18th
roll call. the leaders being in conferences
and it being reported that there was a
prospect of a combination which would
break the deadlock. The delegates i'm
proved the opportunity to send out FOR
/ luncheon and ate in their seats.
1 The result of the 18th ballot was.

POLITICAL GOSSIP
Sidelights on Democratic Stu
alton in Presidential Race.
Becoming Apparent That New
Candidate Will Appear.
PARKER IN THE LEAD.
Hearst Will Have Enough to
Block His Nomination.
Folk, of Missouri, May Yet Be a
Factor.

AS the election of delegates to the
Democratic national convention pro-
ceeds the indications grow that neither
Parker nor Hearst will be the Demo-
cratic nominee for president. In fact
there is a strong possibility that the
man who will be put up in opposition
to President Roosevelt at st. Louis VIII
be one who is not now prominent as
candidate.
There is an old established rule in
Democratic national conventions that
two-thirds majority is required to nom-
mate. This means that one-third de-
termined- delegates plus one can block
the wishes of a majority of the dele
gates and bring them to a compromise.
which is probably what will happen at
the Democratic national convention.
It looks now as though either Hearst
or Parker can block the nomination OF
the other. They are the two leading
candidates when instructed delegates
are considered. Parker is far ahead Of
Hearst, but it is because he got in
structions in his own state, New York,
with rs delegates, and there are 10
more New Yorks to elect delegates.
Hearst is still leading in the fighting
He has a good chance to win in the big
states of Ohio and Illinois. In fact he
has at least four delegates already in
structed in Ohio, and he carried Chi
cago in q contest with Garter Harrison.
If he loses in the state conventions in
Ohio and Illinois they will still not be
for Parker. One congressional ditrict
in Ohio has instructed against both
Parker and Hearst.
So far Parker has 7s instructed dele
gates in New York, 80 in Indiana, and
IA in Connecticut. Hearst has 26 in
structed in Iowa, 6 in Nevada, in
Rhode Island, in New Mexico, in
South Dakota, and in Ohio. He also
has a considerable portion of the unin-
structed delegates in other states, 10
out of 20 in Kansas. out of 10 in
Florida, and others scattered here and
there.
The 50 votes in Massachusetts will be
for Olney. Some of them are Hearst
men, but the majority are for Olney,
and the unit rule Will tie the Hearst
delegates. Pennsylvania with IS, New
Hampshire with 8, Oregon with 8,
Washington with 10. and West Virgin
ia with IA, are uninstructed and uncer-
/ tain New jerseys "a are uninstruct-
| ed but will probably be governed by
! Cleveland's S wishes and vote for Parker
but they are not tied to him.
The following table shows the dele
gates elected thus far, with those who
are instructed:

to wreck Wabash passenger train No.

James Dunn, rural free delivery

train was few minutes late and he
walked up the track, lantern in hand.
A few hundred yards from the station
he found two railroad ties bound
across the rails. He removed the OBJ
stacles and started back to the station.
Before he had gone half the distance,
he was attacked by two men, who beat
him almost into insensibility and stab
bed him. His wounds are serious.

The Hearst delegates will be most
decidedly against Parker, and the
Parker delegates will be against

sequenIy there will have to be a COM

If Congressman John Sharp Will
Iiams, the present brilliant minority
leader in the lower house of congress,
did not come from the wrong section
of the country, he would doubtless be
a strong possibility. He is a possi-
bility anyway, but the chances are not
favorable for the selection of a south
ern man. Francis, German, Olney,
Miles, or any one of half a dozen 9TH

crowd. Kansas own Senator Harris
is by no means an impossibility. He
would be acceptable to both factions
of Democracy and he stands high
1t is said that some of the Hearst
faction have a leaning toward Folk
of Missouri Judge Haymaker, one of
Hearst's Kansas delegates. has de-
clared himself favorable to Folk, and
news comes from Texas that the
Hearst men there are for Folk for
second choice. Folks brilliant vic
tories in Missouri have proven that he
is a strong candidate with the people,
but he probably would stand no bet
ter with the trusts than Roosevelt.
In fact, if Hearst dictates the Demo-
cratic nomination the trusts are like
" to have a hard time choosing a

UNUSUAL LEGAL CASE
Court at Indianapolis Decides
Matter of More Than Usual
Interest.

Indianapolis, April 21.-A judgment
for $725 has been given by Judge
feathers of the superior court, to
Grafton Johnson of Greenwood against
the 'Vandalia Railroad company, for
shipping goods against which Johnson
held a writ of attachment. This action
of the court decides one phase of un-
usual litigation. Johnson had a claim
for $4,000 against the AlstonDawson
Mercantile company of Kingston, O.
T., on which he says he was unable to
get payment. He learned that the
company had bought 10000 cans OF
tomatoes or the Rider Canning com.
pany of Greenwood, and he succeeded
in heading off the shipment with his
attachment. in the Indianapolis yards
While being held in the yards here
the temperature dropped suddenly and
many cans of tomatoes were frozen
A mistake in orders caused the cal
to be shipped to- Kingston, despite the
attachment, and Johnson then brought
his suit
The firm at Kingston refused to &C
cept the tomatoes because of theil
being frozen, and the Greenwood com
pany has brought suit to collect the
amount alleged to be due.
