NAMED THEIR TICKET
COUNTY REPUDII
CANS IN CONVENTION TO-DAY.
SDecial lisnatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
HAGERSTOwN, Md. August 22.-Repub-
lioans of Washington county put themsefvet
on record today as vigorously opposing The
democratic DISTINGUISHING amendment
The resolutions adopted by the republican
county convention here today are devoted
entirely to an arraignment of the presen.
democratic organization in Maryland.
1t is alleged efforts to continue the dem
ocratic machine infinitely in power are In
progress.
The resolutions say that after the re-
publcans had passed an election law that
secured to every citizen his right to cast
an untrammeled ballot. and to nave that
ballot counted as cast. the democratic or
ganization began to scheme to deprive the
people of the rights thus granted. and to
the independent voter of his power In cleo
lions.
The Trick Ballot.
The trick ballot adopted fails to sub
serve the purpose OF the machine. and now
they attack the legislation itself. The pro-
posed constitutional amendment Is a dis
honest pretense. The real design Is to so
narrow the right to vote that 1t shall be
confined to the men who are In control OF
the democracy organization and those who
yield to them blind and unhesitatinS
obedience. In conclusion the resolution
says:
I'VE condemn and denounce this amend
ment as the most dangerous attack ever
made upon the fundamental rights of the
citizens of Maryland to participate in the
affairs of the government"
The convention was called to order in
Hose Opera House at IL 30 o'clock by
Charles w. Adams. member of the state
central committee for Washington county.
DR.. c. d. Baker was made chairman:
Charles A. Ritchey and Harry Brindel. Sec
retaries.

tons. etc. the convention proceeded to
nominate county ticket.

III, five members of the house of delegates,
two county commissioners and county en-
gineer.
The contest for the nomination for sheriff
Is looked upon as open race, with ten
aspirants in the field. Indications point to

Lancelot Jacques. the latter being post
master at Smithsburg.
H. E. Baker A. B. Bingham Thompson

"Eighty-seven and going up" was the
reading of the official thermometer at the

There will be no decided change" he
added.
The down town temperature as recorded

High temperatures are reported from Kan

heat prostrations and violent thunder
storms toward the end OF the hot wave, &C
companfed by excessive rains
Referring to this prediction this after
noon Prof. Frankenfield said:
Il would like to know his process of
foretelling the weather. 1t would be worth
big money to me. Besides, Prof. Moore Is
looking for just such men as this amateur
weather forecaSter. He could get nice
job here at a big salary. That is. provided
his guesses are uniformly verified

FEELING AT PARIS.
Deep Solicitude Prevails Over Outcome
at Portsmouth,

PARIS, August % A feeling of deep
solicitude prevails concerning the crisis at
Portsmouth. which officials expect will con-
tinue for some days, pending the last des
perate efforts to avert rupture. The view
in official quarters took discouraging turn,
apparently as the result Of confidential ad-
vices through official Russian sources.
The bourse today at first showed surprs-
ing buoyancy, Russian tours opening at an
advance Of Is centimes, but later discour-
aging advices from Portsmouth for the first
time dispelled the optimistic feeling of the
market and caused general decline
Shortly before the close Russians and other
securities were heavily offered and the-clos-
ing was weak
This was in marked contrast to the steady
sentiment of confidence heretofore PREVAIL
ing. Financiers continue hopeful that
President Roosevelt will find a way to pre-
vent a renewal of the war, but at the same
time they think that a. continuance of the
war will not seriously affect the market.
owing to the fact that Russia has enough
balance in Paris from the last loan to carry
on operations for several months. Never
thelesS. the uncertainties of the situation
have produced a feeling of nervous appre-
henSon throughout official, financial and
diplomatic quarters.
1t Is semi-officially announced that the
special cabinet council to be held Thursday
will be confined to topics concerning Moroc-
co duu tllc uAiuS VI Tie Odt0 Tic IT,
assembling Of parliament. The omission of
any reference to the peace negotiations is
ominous of a growing disposition to hold
aloof from profitless Intervention.
The prevailing view among officials is
that President Roosevelt. having initiated
the movement, should cope with the diff
hculties without outside interference.
French journalists at Portsmouth con-
tinue to quote NJ. Witte and other members
of the Russian mission declaring that
rupture is inevitable Dispatches from st.
Petersburg reflect the same sentiment.
Report Contradicted.
PARIS. August 22.-The ST. Petersburg
correspondent Of the Temps contradcts the
reports sent to the London Times and the
Berlin Lokal AnZeiger to the effect that at
a council held at Peterhof it was decided
not to make further peace concessions. He
says that the council. on the contrary. pro-
nounced by small majority for the con-
clusion of peace and that the emperor has
ordered the Russian delegates to make a
new proposition relative to indemnity.
The correspondent adds that the Russian
delegates have received the kilograms from
the generals in the field urging against the
conclusion of an unfavorable peace, as the
army feels sure of victory.

HANGS IN THE BALANCE


Baron Do Rosen had evidently been de-
layed, It would be advisable to postpone
the appointment until O'Clock. Not the
slightest suggestion was made Of the i'm
portant character OF the business which
had detained the Russian ENJOYS.
The conference between M. Witte Baron
de Rosen and the Presidents messenger at
the navy yard ended at 1:10 this afternoon.
M. White and Baron de Rosen entered
their automobile and returned, TO the no.
tel. The Presidents messenger remained
lunched with Secretary PIERCE.
The greatest care had been taken to pre-
vent the fact of the secret meeting from
being made public. 1t had been minated
that M. White and Baron de Rosen had
gone to York Harbor for q ride. The true
reason for the postponement Of today's ses-
sion of the conference is now apparent.
Roosevelt Message In Writing.
M. Witte and Baron de Rosen were with
Mr. PIERCE at the navy yard from 1880 am.
to ITO pm, which is believed to make 1t
probable to believe that the Russian pleni-
potentiaries were in communication with
the President at Oyster Bay either directly
or through Mr. PIERCE
The suppOsition Is that the message sent
by the President was the result of Baron
