Big DEMOCRATIC MEETINGS
Speakers Cheered To The Echo By Audi
ences Composed OF Best Citizens OF
The County.

Without the blare of brass bands or
ether noisy demonstration TO attract a
crowd Democratic rally was held in
the Court House here Tuesday after
noon and evening.
In the afternoon Hon. George Byrne,
Of West Virginia. addressed splendid
audience composed of prominent farm
ers and business men. He told of the
peaceful condition of affairs in the
South since the negro has been elimi
mated from politics in Virginia, North
Carolina. Mississippi and elsewhere
rule in the South when the negro held
sway and ruined the white tax-pay-
err with his pilfering. ruinous system.
Mr.. Byrne appealed TO the white men
of Worcester County to stand together
for the Amendment and for the Demo-
cratic candidates. DIR. John w. Pitts.
of Berlin. was chairman of the meeting.
In the evening meeting was held ut
the same place which was addressed by
Messrs. Goldsborough and Schley, who
were introduced to the audience by
Senator Moore. The speakers were
prevented from arriving here in time
for the afternoon meeting, and did not
get here until the night train, which
made the meeting too late for many
persons who were anxious to hear them
speak: therefore, the audience was not
as large as il was in the afternoon.
Mr.. Goldsborough made an eloquent
address in favor of the Franchise
Amendment and said that the senti-
ment in favor of it was growing strong
er in Baltimore every day. He said in
one precinct it was known that 81
white Republicans would vote for it,
and he had their names and addresses.
This condition was duplicated in many
wards in the city. He said that no
white man would he disfranchised by
reason Of the passage of the Amend
ment. but most of the negroes would be.
The speech of Mr.. Schley was along
general lines. He paid Senator Moore
a high compliment. and said the people
should give him rousing majority.
Governor Smith was present at both
meetings. and the mention Of him as
noble. unflinching Democrat, by one of
the speakers, brought forth hearty
applause.

george Hudson Convicted.

George Hudson was convicted in the
Circuit Court on Wednesday. of assault
ing, with intent to kill by shooting. Ben
iamin and Turner Disharoon at their
oyster house, at Georges Island Land
ing, about a year ago.
For sometime the Disharoons had sus-
pected that someone had been stealing
their CLANS and oysters, and had de-
termined to catch the thief. if possible.
On the afternoon of the shooting, which
was Sunday. they went to the oyster
house and waited, thinking that the sus-
pected person might pay the grounds a
visit on that afternoon. They waited but
a few minutes before they saw Hudson
leave his home. proceed to his oyster
house, unfasten his scow and come to
theirs. He tried the door. and. finding 1t
locked. went directly to the clam bed of
the Dsharoons. He was accompanied a
short distance from the house by Albert
Flemming, and il was at first supposed
that Fleming was an accomplish. but he
was subsequently cleared.
As soon ms Hudson reached the clam
bed he began to tong. and had caught a
lot of CLANS when the Disharoons fired
two shots into the air one from Win
chester rifle, the other from a shotgun.
Hudson Immediately returned the fire,
shooting in the direction of the door of
She oyster-house which the Disharoons
had thrown open. The first shot hit
Turner Disharoon in the upper part Of
the thigh. the other shot struck Ben
jamin in the thigh.
The Jury recommended Hudson to the
mercy of the court. Muck sympathy is
felt for the wife and parents of Mr..
Hudson.

NO TARIFF REVISION

Washington. June 12.-Speaker Can
non and Representatives Dalzell,
Hayne and Tawney, all leaders in the
House, saw the President today and
urged him to postpone the extra ses-
sion of Congress until November 18th.
They gave as reason the fall cleo
tions In various states, to which the
tention.
As a matter OF fact, the House lead
ers are strongly opposed to an early
extra session, which would afford time
for the agitation Of tariff revision. in
spired by the Presidents recent order
regarding Panama canal supplies.
They think the longer the extra SEES
sion Is postponed the less talk there
will be of tariff revision, after the
public has recovered from its panic
regarding Panama.
Zone thing is certain" said one OF
these statesmen, after visiting the
White House, that is, that the Presi-
dent will not talk tariff revision in his
message to Congress In the extra ses-
sion. He will call that extra session
solely for the purpose of pushing
through railroad rate legislation. and
he does not intend to be diverted by
tariff talk. He realizes that Congress
could not take up both subjects and
dispose Of them In the brief extra ses-
sion. The President is not nearly as

MARIpOSA IS TRIED
FOR MAIL CONTRACT.

Thursday, July 6.
The Oceanic Steamship Companys
liner Mariposa was given an ocean
trial trip yesterday for the purpose Of
demonstrating to naval board that
the steamship had all the qualifications
exacted under the act Of 1891 OF auxil-
larry cruisers. She exceeded the speed
requirement by more than two knots
and In every other respect won the
unanimous approval Of the naval board.
says San Francisco exchange.
The United States recently asked for
bids for carrying the United States
mails between here and Honolulu. The
awarding Of the contract to the Oceanic
Steamship Company depended upon
yesterdays trial. Under the law the
qualifications required ability to de-
velop an average speed Of fourteen
knots and the stability to mount four
six-inch guns and q secondary battery
OF smaller caliber. In other words
Uncle Sam will not award mail con-
tracts on ocean routes to vessels
which could not be used as auxiliary
cruisers.
Captain H. z. Howard. superintend-
ent Of the steamship company, was in
command OF the liner during the trip.
Rear Admiral william II. Whiting,
Captain Holland N. Stevenson and Ma
val Constructor John G. 1awresey con.
stituted the naval board detailed to sit
in judgment on the liners performance.
The Mariposa left Pacifc-street
wharf at 9 o'clock and proceeded d.
rectly to sea. Outside the head she
was run at full speed for six hours and
as she travelled through the ocean
swells the navy officers made careful
note OF her behavior. At the end OF the
six hours 1t was found that she had
averaged a little better than sixteen
knots an hour, developing 1887 horse
power with eighty-one revolutions to
the minute. Her engines worked
smoothly and at the end OF the trial
not bearing showed sign of heat.
In addition to satisfying Uncle Sam
that she could surpass his utmost ex-
actions In every respect, the Mariposa
also gave evidence to the French Gov
eminent that she still can more than
qualify to carry the French mails.
The Mariposa and her twin sister,
the Alameda, have a worldwide repu-
tation as capable and consistent travel
srs. Their record when they carried
the British mails to Australia is still a
by-word In the postal world and the
people OF Honolulu still regulate their.
clocks and watches by the going and
coming OF the Alameda. The people Of
Tahiti could put the Mariposa to SINH
lar use, but In the South Seas nobody
worries about such trivial matter an

strong in favor Of tariff revision as
some people think. That Panama Or
der was not issued for the purpose OF
bringing the revision issue sharply to
the front. but was issued simply be-
cause Congress made no provision to
the contrary. The President has now
made It clear that he never intended
to rush abroad and load up with for
eign purchases for the canal.
"As to tariff revision, he objects to
the use Of that term, and prefers the
word modification which means
changes to meet the present conditions.
In view OF the Presidents determine
ton to keep railroad rate legislation
in the foreground. II is safe to say
there will be no attempt at tariff tink-
er.ng during the next session."
