HAVE COMBINED TO
DEFEAT G.-P. WETMORE
DEMOCRATS OF RHODE ISLAND
MEET IN STATE CONVENTION
AT PROVIDENCE TODAY.
Special to the Herald.


Providence, R. l., May 12.-Demo'
Gratis and others opposed to the Re
publican control of Rhode Island met
in state convention today to choose
a candidate for United States senator
TO succeed George P. Wetmore. whose
term expires with the conclusion of
the present session.
The convention is the first of its
kind ever held in Rhode Island. Ow-
ing to the peculiar registration pro
visions. the Democrats determined
this year to force the fighting, and de-
cided upon the novel eXpedient of Sc
lecting their candidate in advance of
the election of the members of the
legislature and appealing to the PEG
pie to support him against any can
didate the Republicans may select.
The Democrats believe that their
chances are exceedingly bright of win
ming the seat in the senate. Senator
Wetmore is a candidate for re-elec-
ton, but he is opposed by a triple
alliance in his own party, consisting
of three millionaires, Senator Nelson
w Aldrich, Colonel Samuel P. Colt
and Marden j. Perry. 1t is expected
that Colonel Colt will be named for
the senate and the Democrats are of
the opinion that the split thus caused
in the Republican ranks will revert to
their benefit.
Several names are mentioned in
connection with the Democratic indie
pendent nomination. One OF these is
Ex-Governor Lucius E. c. Garvin, who
originated the idea of having a state
convention to name the senatorial
candidate. Stephen o. Edwards, a
well known lawyer, is also mentioned
for the nomination. The Independents
are booming Rathbone Gardner, for
mer Republican United States district
attorney and one of the best cam
paigners in the state.

NAVY DEPARTMENT
NEEDS HIS SERVICES
REAR ADMIRAL GEORGE A. CON-
VERSE TO REMAIN AS CHIEF
OF BUREAU OF NAVIGATION.
Special to the Herald.

special 10 Ine heFalu-
Washington, D. c., May IA.
though Rear Admiral George A. Con.
verse tomorrow reaches the age limit
for active service and in the ordinary
course of events would be placed on
the retired list of the navy, it is prob
able that he will continue to perform
the duties of chief of the Bureau Of
Navigation for some time to come.
The president has so requested, the
request being made on the ground
that his continuance at the head of
the bureau is demanded by the needs
of the service.
1t is unusual for an officer of the
navy to be asked to remain in active
service after he has reached the re-
firing age, and in the case of Admiral
Converse it is a personal tribute to
his high qualities and his long and
efficient career as an officer. Admiral
Converse already has the unusual rec
ord of having filled no less than three
bureau positions in succession, be-
sides having commanded one of the
finest of the big battleships of the
navy, the Illinois. He is native of
Vermont and graduated from the
naval academy in 1865.

it is possible that the proposed union

1t is said that an application for an

belong.
