TO FILL THE VACANCY

EVANSVILLE, Ind. April 22.-The re.
publicans of the first congressional district
today nominated Judge John II. Foster Of
this city to hll the vacancy in Congress
caused by the resignation of James A.
Hemenway, elected to the United States
Senate.
Judge Fosters nomination was the re-
suit of compromise brought about by ths
leaders of the party this afternoon before
the convention met and concluded four
days deadlock between the followers of
George w. Cunningham of Evansville and
John w. Brady of Princeton, both active
candidates.
A convention at Rockport Tuesday broke
up in disorder and each faction called a
convention for today Senator Hemenway
fastened from Washington to bring about
the compromise which was effected today.
After Judge Foster had been decided upon
today Mr.. Brady at once placed Judge Fos-
ter in nomina ton.
Mr. Cunningham seconded the no-nina-
ton, which was then made by acclanati ton
amid cheers. Both Mr.. Cunningham and
Mr. Brady addressed the convention. ex-
pressing the feeling that the welfare of the
party was far more important than the
ambitions of any man. After the nornina-
tion Senator Hemenway made a speech.
Judge Foster. the nominee, is forty-five
years old and has been on the bench here
for twelve years.
Judge Foster is nephew of John w.
Foster of this city. formerly Secretary Of
State. and a distinguished lawyer. who
now resides at 1928 18th street His NOM
ination TO succeed Mr.. Hemenway should
prove of interest to Washingtonians, not
only because of his relat oaship to his dis
tinguished uncle. but also because Judge
Foster himself was formerly a resident Of
this city. He was born in Evansville, Ind,
University, later coming to Washington to
attend the law school of George Washing
ton University.
While attending the university ard for
some time after his graduation Mr.. Foster
was employed clerk in the pension
office. This during the administra ton
of President Garfield.

Foster returned to his old home in Evans
vile, where he engaged in the practice of
law. He was elected judge of teh superior
court of the city, which position he has
held for the past six years. He has been
prominently mentioned for judge of the
supreme court of the state.

home town and throughout his section of
the state, where he is well known and re-
spected, and his friends will follow his con-
gressional career with interest

BARON HAYASHI'S VIEWS.
Togo's Shells Would Have Fallen on
French Shore

LONDON, April 22--Baron Hayashi, the
japanese minister to Great Britain, said to
the Associat ted Press today:
Il do not consider that the japanese note
10 the French government could be termed
a protest. II simplJ calls the attention of
France to Vice Admiral Rojestvensky's
long stay in Kamranh bay. Unfortunately
discussion of the matter occupied consld-
cradle time before the French government
secured the rddance of uuwelcome guests
and serious injury will have been done.
Japan knows that the French govern
ment was not an active party to the har-
boring OF the Russian Pacific squadron but
the inactivity of France had reached a Sc
rious stage and would have been per-
fectly justified in attacking the Russian
squadron i'll Kamranh bay. The three-mile
rule under which France defends her in
activity was the distance recognized as
shore waters when three miles was the
maximum range of guns.
THE range of big guns today is twenty
miles Should Admiral Togo attack the
Russians i'll Kamranh bay many projeCtiles
would fall on the French shore. This is one
of the points which was under discussion
in Paris.

Mr.. Bryan defined the dividing line be.

the question of municipal and federal
ownership.
THE best place to draw the line" he
said is at the point where competition
ceases. Socialists believe that competition
is destructive. The democratic position is
that competition is beneficial and should
be preserved Whenever competition is im-

of monopoly should be enjoyed by the whole

BRYAN CITES THE EQUITABLE.
Says Trust Funds Are Manipulated for
the Benefit of Capitalists.

Special Dispatch to The Star
CLEVELAND, Ohio, April 22.-While here
today William Jennings Bryan said:
discussions now going along the
line of education and interesting investiga-
tons are in progress, all of which are vin-
dications of democratic connections. One of
the most helpful and hopeful signs is the
discussion of the ethics of donations. In
the Rockefeller donations case the result
shows that the conscience of the people is
working. The greatest of all influences Is
conscience.
I'VE complained in 1896 and 1900 that the
aggregation of wealth was not dealing fair

magazines and other eduea tionai influences
are opening the eyes of the people. Trusts
are being proceeded against and their ma

PRESIDENT HADLEY's TRIBUTE.
Yale University Prex Close Friend
for Years.

NEW HAVEN, Conn, April 22.-Presi-
dent Hadley of Yale University, for years a
close friend of Senator o. H. Platt, paid
the following tribute to his memory today:
Personally, the time when 1 came into
closest contact with him was previous to
the passage of the interstate commerce act
in 1887. AS a member of the Senate COM
mittee on interstate commerce regulation
Mr.. Platt was ipdefatigable in his study
of this difficult subject. His speeches in
opposition to certain sections of the inter-
state commerce act which he believed to
be ill-judged are without doubt the ablest
presentation of the subject ever made by
any man in the United States Congress-
Had Mr.. Platt's advice been taken at that
time many of the difficulties under which
we have suffered both financially and in
dustrial in the matter of railroad policy
probably would have been much miti-
gated"

PERIL OF THE KAISER

He is Said to Live in Constant Dread

Pain and Apprehension.
HAS A DEADLY DISEASE

Special Dispatch TO The Star.
NEW YORK, April pa cablegram from
Berlin says: Much anxiety has been felt
recently among all classes of people with
reference to the actual condition of the
kaiser's health, many sinister rumors hav-
ing been circuated. a personal friend of
the kaiser, who knows his majesty's con-
dition thoroughly. gave the following in
formation, coupled with the statement that
upon its publication every man in author
ity. from the cabinet ministers and i'm
perial doctors down to the very servants
about coult, would be obliged strenuously
and categorically to deny it, But its abso-
lutte truth can he relied upon.
Cancerous Taint in His Blood.
The kaiser has a cancerous taint in his
blood, inherited from his father and moth
er, both of whom died from cancer. This
has. manifested itself in him in two ways;
frs by growth in his throat second, by
discharge from his right ear. While the
former strikes the world at large as more
alarming. that is only because the world re
members how his father, Emperor Fred
erick, died and because the growth neces-
STATED excelsior by the surgeons knife,
but matter of fact it is the disease of
the ear that the emperor himself most
breads.
Those who have seen the emperor will
remember the mass of cotton which fills
his ear not only the inner tube, but the
greater part of the convolutionS of the
outer organ. This is made necessary by
the constant discharge which springs
from the middle ear, the disease being
known to the doctors otitis media.
Dreaded Complications.
This trouble is a common after effect
of scarlet fever, and children often out
grow it, but when it lasts through life as
it has done in the case of the kaiser. it is
to be dreaded for the many complica-
tions, one of which is its almost certain
elimination. Aural experts number
among the more serious of these compli-
cations polypus, disease of the mastoid,
fairal paralysis, epilepsy inflammation of
the brain and hemorrhage of the carotid
artery.
All of this has been explained to the
kaiser, and he knows that he is likely 10
be stricken at any moment with madness
or a disease that would almost certainly
prove rapidly fatal. For the suppuration
has a tendency to spread to the inner
ear, and so to the meninges of the BRAIN
in which case insanity and death are GER
tain. The emperor lives in constant dread
of his fate, and when the discharge is
suppressed. as it is sometimes he goes
almost mad with pain and apprehension

BY ACTION OF FRANCE

PARIS, April 22-Officials here maintain
sue over neutrality has been considerably
relieved by the vigorous measures which
France adopted. Emperor Nicholas or
ders to Vice Admiral Rojestvens6y to leave
French waters are the direct result. TO
have the emperor give a decisive order, 1t
is held here, signifies that such order must
be obeyed. whereas Vice Admiral Rojest-
vensky has exercised his personal discre-
tion as to observing orders emanating from
the Russian admiralty concerning French
waters off the coast of Madagascar.
1t is the official application of the order
that the departure of the squadron should
occur today. However. it is recogniZed
that delays might occur in getting the en-
four days Cor Rojestvenskys last tee
gram to reach ST. Petersburg. This is due
to the remote and desolate character of
Kamranh bay.
Heretofore Kamranh bay has been an
unknown spot although an adventurous
Frenchman the Marquis de Munville. has
established a small colony there The mar
uuis uses this colony as a base for hunting
expeditions and for carrying on a consider
