 structed it's delegates to the St. Louis
 convention to present the name of
 Judge Gray to the convention as the ! choice Of the Delaware democrats for president. This action was taken after one Of the most stormy conven- tions ever held in this state. The

 Senator Richard R. Kenney, who was opposed to the word instruct" He offered a resolution that the delegates be ''requested'' to place Judge GTay's name before the national convention. The fight between the Gray and the anti-Gray factions became so bitter { that the former paid no attention to Judge Gray's letter in which he asked ethat the Delaware democrats be not Instructed.

 Kenney and would not listen to any Hthing that his supporters offered. Judge RGray's letter was written to David T..
 Marvel, of Wilmington. In it Judge fGray expressed his great anxiety for
 harmony in the democratic party this 'year, and held that the democratic na- 2tional convention should be left free kto select as it's candidate the most Available and strongest man.
 N He, therefore, requested that the del-
 egates selected to represent Delaware
 Democrats at St. Louis be not bound by
 &ny instructions.
 Judge Gray knew nothing of the ac- lion os the convention until informed by reporters tonight. In reply to a Auestion as to whether the action of The convention would change his at 7ttude he said: T have not changed ] 2ny attitude at all. am not candi- ! Hate for president; the instructions

An Important Inquiry Assured as to
 Protection of Morocco.
 Paris, June 7.--Foreign Minister Del casse attended the sitting to-day of the foreign affairs committee of the Cham Der of Deputies. He gave detailed explanation of the Anglo French con- vention. Being asked whether the agreement gave France the eventual right of occupying or protecting the Moorish empire, M. Delcasse said that he could not foresee the future. All he could say was that France had rights in Morocco which nobody any longer contested, and that she was capable of making use of prerogatives which all powers recognize without injuring the interests of any.

RUSSIAN BLACK SEA FLEET.
England Has Received No Request for
 Passage Through DardeneIles.

Passage Through DardeneIles.
 St. Petersburg, June 7-6:07 p. m.- The Grand Duke Alexis, commander in-chief of the navy, according to an apparently reliable report, which. how ever, is not officially confirmed, has ob- tained the permission of the emperor to create a third Pacific squadron from the ships of the Black Sea fleet, and permission has already been obtained from Turkey to take the ships through the Dardanelles on the condition that they will not return. This squadron will be composed, according to the re- port, of the battleships Eostislav, Dvenadzat, Apostoloff and Tria Sviati- telia, and will be accompanied by tor pedo boats and torpedo-boat destroyers, and will sail for the Far East simulta- neously with the Baltic squadron. The Associated Press is unable to obtain any confirmation of the report.
 London, June 1.-The foreign office has not received any request from Rus sia or Turkey to agree to the passage of the Russian Black Sea fleet through the Dardanelles. It is pointed out that Turkey doubtless would be delighted to get rid of Russia's Black Sea fleet, but the passage of warships through the Dardanelles would be a distinct contra vention of the treaty, permission for which has neither been asked, nor is likely to be granted if asked for.
