OHIO REPUBLICANS.
Gov. Herrick, Senator Dick and
George 3. Cox Will Control the
Convention.

Convention.
Columbus, o., May 16.-The repub-
lican state convention will meet here
next Tuesday and Wednesday.
There are 951 delegates in the con-
vention. A large majority is affili-
ated with what is called "The Hanna
about the convention being controlled
by Gov. Herrick, George b. Cox and
Senator Dick, who with Senator For
aker will be the delegates at large to
the republican national convention
at Chicago.
Lewis c. Laylin is a candidate for
q third term for secretary of state.
The principal contention is for con-
tinuance of control of the party or
ganization, and II is conceded that
Gov. Herrick, who will be both tenn
porary and permanent chairman of
the convention, will be reelected as
the Ohio member of the national
committee, and that Senator Dick
will be reelected chairman of the
state executive committee.
Interest in the convention is sur
prisingly small. Not a candidate has
shown up here as yet. The only con-
tests will be upon the nominations
for supreme Judge and member of the
board of public works. 1t is practic-
ally assured that Secretary Laylin
will be renominated for a third term
Comings has yet to develop anything
approaching winning strength. The
contest for supreme judge is probably
between Judge Spear and ex-At.
torney General Sheets, with Judge ]
p. Bradbury a possibility should he
come into the race with the support
of George B. Cox, as has been init
mated as probable. Sheets is conf
dent of winning.
For member of the board of public
works there is no candidate with ap
parent advantage. This will be the
one fight which will be left to the
delegates, as before the supreme
judgeship comes up there are likely
to be agreements reached that viii
practically settle the matter. The re
nominations of Lawson Z. Emerson
for clerk of the supreme court an(
Horace Ankeny for dairy and foot
commissioner are assured withou
contest

Will Discuss a Proposed Merger.

Washington, May 16.-The general
conference of the Methodist Protes-
tant church is. to begin here next Fri
day and proSably will continue in
session ten days. The meetings of
the conference will be held in the
North Carolina Methodist Protestant
church. The most important matter
to come before the conference is the
discussion of the proposed union with
the Congregationalists and the Uni
ted Brethren. The matter has been
talked of by the individual churches,
largely in an informal way, but none
of the three has as yet taken any
definite action. The Methodist
church will be the first to take up the
matter for formal discussion and
agree or disagree to union

Wants Millions for Defense.

Vienna, May 16.-The enormous
budget demands for the army and
navy carrying total of s51, ,791 ,200)
have caused the utmost bewilderment
among all parties, especially since
the rumors of such forthcoming de-
mands were persistently denied in
official quarters. Although the rumors
fell far short of the amount of the
actual demands, nobody is able to
understand the governments sudden
desire to hasten the completion of the
military program which had been
planned to extend over several years,
but it is supposed that the expert
ences of the Russo-Japanese cam
paign are not unconnected Herewith.

BOOM FOR HEARST.
Second Maine Congressional District
Don't Take to Il.

Bath, Me-, March 9.-(SpeciaD.
Many Democrats in this city are
alarmed over the fact that a few weeks
ago a representative of William r.
Hearst was in the city to look over
the situation relative to the formation
of Hearst Club. for the purpose of
kindling a desire to have the young
New Yorker elected the nominee of
the Democratic party for President Of
the United States. While this repre-
sentative did not believe the time ripe
for organizing such a club, the Demo-
Gratis fear that he may return at
later date and find the field much more
fertile for forming such an organiZa-
ton.
The second congressional district as
q whole is not in favor Of Mr.. Hearst
as the party nominee to head the ma
tional ticket. and it is known that
George r. Hughes. the chairman of
the State committee and a member of
the national committee, is opposed to
his candidacy. but on the other hand

ty is n Hearst supporter and is work.

that he is fitted with the best qualifi-
cations for the position.
1t is announced here that a vigorous
effort is being carried on beneath the
surface to secure such delegates for

Ond congressional district as will be in
favor of Mr. Hearst

ARE UNMOLESTED.
Gold Mines Owned by Americans at
Aniu.

Washington. March 9.-United States
Minister Allen at Seoul has cabled the
state department that his latest reports
from Anju are that the gold mines own
cans are unmolcsted. The women and
children of the families of the Amer-
cans there have been sent to PingyanS.
He says nothing of having ordered ma
rncS to Aniu to protect the mines. The
state department is now convinced no
marines did go to the mines.
The state department is not Informed

tur to that port by the Russian govern
ment. has sailed from San Francisco for
the Orient. He. may proceed to China
to act as a gatherer of information for
Europe to assist Mr.. Pierce, the third as
Sistant secretary of state. in an inspection
of the American cOnsulates in southern
Europe. The Chinese government has in
formed the state department that exc
uuature have been issued to Mr.. Cheshire,
the new consul at Mukden, and Mr.. Da-
Wis. the new consul at Antung. These
officials are now on their way to Shang
hal where they have been directed to
await the departments orders.
There is, today. less fear among Euro
pean ambassadors here that the war Will
involve other powers than Russia and
Japan. 1t is understood Sir Henry Nor
timer Durand, the British ambassador,
last week, in a conversation with Sccreta
ry Hay. made known his governments
earnest desire to keep clear of the war.
1t is considered rather diScOuraging just
at the moment Secretary Hay has renew
ed assurances to Russia that the United
States feels absolutely neutral that a
japanese government official should, as
reported from Toxic. tell a body of wal
correspondents that Japan was grateful
for the friendship of the United States
at this time.
In Europe it is feared this will be taken
&c nd fhnf Tor & ral ~
strongly on the assistance of the United

Trouble About Alleged Maine Legis-
lature's Authority.

Fredericton, N. b., March 9.-In the
New Brunswick Legislature, this af-
ternoon, Hon. VIM. Pugsley, attorney
general, said:
THE government is aware that the
st. John Lumber Co. is erecting piers
and boOms in the River St. John be-
tween the county of Madawaska and
the State of Maine, near Van Buren,
to hold lumber SO that it can be man.
ufactured in Maine. He had written
to the company that he was informed
they were carrying piers across the
channel to the New Brunswick side of
the river to connect with the Dennis
Cyr island. Unless the works We're
discontinued, he must take action to
pre"ent the work proceeding and to
have the obstruction removed. He also
wrote to the attorney general of Maine
setting forth the facts and adding that
in his judgment the works are an i'll
fringement of the Ashburton treaty
and also are illegal because interfering
with the free passage of the river.
The attorney general of Maine re-
piled that the matter was not in his
jurisdiction and referring him to the
district attorney.
The company claimed the work had
the Maine Legislatures authority ard
the property was American territory.
Mr.. Pugsley said the New Brunswick
plans seemed to show that this was
correct. but he commended that this
was fragrant violation of the Ashburtol
treaty and the government has decided
that the only course is to commune
M with ha taI tot
through the governor general and their
amha SSadOr
