 mite i'm Suez Canal.
 Port Said, Egypt, Sept. 2S.-The wreck of the British steamer Chatham with her cargo of ninety tons of dyna- mite and blasting gelatine, was blown up at 9:50 o'clock this morning, by mines distributed around and inside her hull.

Divers immediately commenced remov- ing the debris. The canal population in the vicinity of the scene of the explo- sion left early in the morning for the seashore, closing the banks and stores which were guarded by police.

Gives Up $36O, 900 Worth of, Securities For a
 Bogus Check.
SCHEME OF CLEVER FORGER
NATIONAL CITY BANK OF NETT j.. YORK HIS PREY.

Securities Deposited With the Institu-
 ton by Pearl & Co, Members of the
 New York stock Exchange, as secur-
 ity for Loan of saOO, ,O0O,- -Bogus
 Check Made Out for This Amount
 Plus Interest for one Day-securities
 at Once Handed Over on It's Presen-
 tion at the Bank.
 New York, Sept. 2S.-The details of scheme whereby the National City bank of this city was recently victin- ized by a clever forger, came out to- day. The forger presented a bogus check bearing the name of a well known stock exchange firm and receiv- ed in return securities valued at about $360,O
 Pearl E Co, stock brokers at 27 Will liam street, recently negotiated a one day loan for $SOO.0OO with this banking institution. On Wednesday a check for the amount of the loan, plus $S750 for the one days interest, was presented at the bank by a stranger who received the security deposited by Pearl & Co. for their loan.
 The bank on which the brokers check was drawn is one with which Pearl 6 co. never had an account, so the for gery was not discovered until the check had passed through the clearing house exchanges, when it was promptly branded as fictitious.
 A private detective agency was called in and transfer of the securities was at once stopped. The detectives intimate that they have a clew to the identity of the forger, who is believed to have had one or more accomplices. The Wall street branch of police headquar- ters was also called into the case.
 It is believed that the forger had an intimate knowledge of Pearl & Co.,. affairs. ID Fl. Slayback, junior nsrn- Der of Pearl & Co. said:
 T have been asked not to dfvulge the name of the bank concerned. I can only say that it is rich and if the forgery should involve any loss the bank will be amply able to stand 1t.
 The odd amount of the forged check,' added MT. slayback, repre- sents days interest at 4 1-2 per cent. As matter of fact the loan is record ed on our books at 1-4 per cent Clear ly somebody must have had knowledge of the loan. Yet had 1t been some one in our employ the interest rate would have been computed at 4 1-4 per cent.
 The firm of Pearl & Co. consists of Dyer Pearl and E. F. slaybaclx. MT. Pearl is. now in Europe. Both members of the firm own stock exchange seats, and their operations on the board have at various times been very extensive
 The securities offered by Pearl & Go. for the loan and surrendered by the bank for a piece of worthless paper in- cludes 1000 shares United States Steel common; 1000 shares Rock Island com mon; LOGO shares Metropolitan Street Railway; 70 shares Missouri Pacific; 200 shares North American company, 47 American Tobacco Go. 6 per cent. bonds and some Wabash debenture bonds.

 United States Senator German De-
 cIares if Constitutional Amendment
 Be Successful He will Die Happy.
 Baltimore, Sept. 2S.-At the demo- cratic state convention of MarylandS which was held in Ford's Opera house, this city, to-day, Comptroller of the State Gordon T. Atkinson was renom- mated and a platform adopted which, excepting a paragraph indorsing the excellent business administration of the present. democratic. governor, Edwin Warfieid, is wholly devoted to the ad- vocacy of the proposed constitutional amendment to restrict negro suffrage, which will be voted upon at the No vember election. The platform de- clares as follows: ..4.
 By common consent the only issue in this campaign is whether negro suf- frage, put upon us against our will by force, shall be restricted and it's power for evil destroyed.
 This democratic convention, repre- senting two-thfrds of the white people of the state, reaffirrns the declaration of our party in our platforms of 1899 and 1903 upon this subject, and now proclaims anew our resolute purpose to maintain the supremacy of our race and it's control, by all lawful and con- stitutional means, of the administration of the political affairs of the state.
 Believing that the proposed consti- tutional amendment will operate as an effective remedy for the evils of our situation, without prejudice or injury to any race or class, regarding it, more over, as complete response to the clearly expressed mandate of the peo- pie, we unreservedly commend and ap- prove it.
 we make 1t the single issue of this campaign.
 we declare it to be our battle cry.
 'The negro vote as it stands to-day is perpetual menace to the prosperity and peace of Maryland-a menace to our very civilization-for it is ignorant, corrupt-the blind instrument of un- scrupulous and selfish leaders," +.,
 Just before the convention was brought to a close there were loud calls for Senator Arthur Pue German, who was present, but had taken no part in the proceedings.
 Senator German responded with a brief speech in which he said that if the constitutional amendment should be successful he would 'agree never to seek place and would "die happy | man."
