English Intensity.


The Englishman loves nothing SO much
as practical activity. It Is this trait which
has raised him to such an important posi-
ton In politics and industry, and which
has given birth to English sport. Not this
alone, however. but the fact that the Eng
lishman does nothing half-heartedly or on
q small scale. but entirely, intensely, with
his whole heart.

EmhezzIsr stensland Sentenced.

Chicago-Paul o. Stensland, to
whose confessed embezzlement Of
100000 was due chiefly the collapse
of the Milwaukee-avenue state bank
of which he was president, was SEN
fenced in record time to serve from
one to 10 years in the penitentiary.
Within three hours after Stensland's
arrival in Chicago from Morocco,
whittier he fed before tho bank faiIad.
the former bank president pleaded
guilty and received sentence. Before
another three hours had elapsed the
convicted pS-l'e- l-"d hnonn service
Of the sentence at Joliet prison.
Stensland pleaded guilty on two in.
dictments charging embezZlement and
violation OF the state banking laws.
A fine of $120 was imposed on the lat
ter charge, which was based upon the
acceptance of $50 in deposits after
the bank was insolvent. The prison
sentences imposed, which will oper'
ate concurrently, are from one to five
and from one to 10 years, making
the longest term possible 10 years,
Stensland's arrival in Chicago was
greeted by a crowd of several hun.
dred persons. The crowd was demon
strative, although Offering no violence
and the effect upon Stensland was mo-
ticeable.
Stensland, haggard and trembling,
was hurried between a double line Of
policemen at the criminal court
building into State Attorney Healys
presence. A conference, lasting IN
hour, ensued between Stensland and
Healy, Assistant States Attorneys o.
sen and Barbour.
After the conference Mr.. Healy
said:
"Stensland made a full confession
of everything connected with the af-
fairs of the bank. He has told us Of
his own acts and acts of others. What
he has revealed makes the bank affair
less dark for himself"
The court proceedings, which fol-
lowed Immediately were conducted
hurriedly. Silence fell over the court
room as Stensland faced the bar. His
form was shaken with emotion and he
kept a handkerchief in his hand and
frequently brushed away tears. Judge
Kerstan addressed the prisoner, re-
viewing the case briefly and asking
If Stensland had any defence to make
Upon receiving a negative reply, the
court passed sentence

nr..t car BARNS pestroyed.

Boston, Mass.-About 1.25 Thursday
morning the great car barns of the
Boston & Northern street railway
company on Washington avenue, Chel-
sea, were discovered on fire and two
alarms were turned in, calling out
the entire department Of the city.
They were unable to cope with the hre
and help was asked from Everett,
which sent some apparatus and de-
tachment of men.
About 80 cars were stored in the
barns and all except two were de-
stroyed
The car barns were in the section
Of Chelsea known as Prattville. They
were about 300 by 106 feet in dimen-
sions.
The fire was discovered by Joseph
Snow and Frank Thomas, car cleaners,
who were at work in the main part OF
the barns, which consisted of two
story brick structure on the Washing
ton avenue end, and in the rear, for
about nalT tine enJIre Iengtn OF tne es-
tablishment, of a one-story structure,
When Snow and Thomas discovered
the fire it was burning from an old
car in the rear of the one story part
of the barns, and at the extreme rear
of the building They ran acress
Washington avenue to the other barns
of the company, next door to the repair
shops, and notified Willard S. Trott,
the night foreman. Trot yelled to a
policeman who was passing to send in
the alarm, and he and his two fellow
employees dashed into the main barn
and began trying to save some Of the
cars.
Trott says when he got into the
barns he was able to make out that
the seat of the fire was in an old car
from which the motors had been re-
moved, and on which there was no
trolley connection, so he is certain that
the fire was set.
A general alarm followed the first
one quickly, and when the chief Of the
department saw the magnitude of the
blaze with which he had to contend
help was asked of Everett, and a
steamer and hose wagon was sent over
The barns and contents were entire
ly destroyed. The loss is estimated at
$150,0O0. The property was insured.
The police estimate Of the damage is
about $325,O00.
An insurance man in Chelsea
thought the loss on the cars alone that
were destroyed would foot up nearly
100000.

Boston.-Distrlct Attorney John b.
Moran will in all probability be the
only candidate before the Democratic
convention for the nomination Tor
governor.
Henry M. Whitneys name will not
be presented to the state convention.
The consarvatives have given up
the fight.
There will be no contest on the plat
form nor to retain the state organiza-
ton.
Before the state convention. which
is to be held in fremont Temple Oct.
4, Josiah Quincy will, it is expected,
be nominated to the vacant place on
the board of rapid transit commits
sioners, which has long been awaiting
him. Mr.. Quincy will resign as chair
man of the state committee.
The state convention will be all

settled that
The program of the conservative
leaders had been to present Henry M.
Whitney's name to the state conyen-
ton If they succeeded in electing at
least one-third of the delegates pledg-
ed to Whitney, depending on strategy
and argument to swing sixth OF the
remainder of the delegates, making
majority of the convention, to Mr..
Whitney.
Within day or two it has been de.
cided not to present Mr.. Whitney's
name to the convention unless the out
look was as favorable as that any
way.
Moran's victories in the various
cities, in which 1t was expected he
might lose, makes it extremely improb-
able that the conservatives could,
even were they now disposed to try
to do so. line up sufficient number
of delegates before the state conven-
ton to justify them in presenting Mr..
Whitney as candidate.
Therefore, unless the conservative
leaders change their minds, there will
be no convention contest against the
district attorney on anything.
In the primaries held Wednesday
OASCpI bAOlC "ClO ~
cal contests, the attendance was very
light. In the eastern portion Of the
state, the Moran supporters had every
thing their own way sweeping the big
manufacturing towns such as Fall
River and Lynn and many of the small
| towns.
I" tho wnStern mart of the state it
was apparent that either the Moran
leaders had neglected to organize OF
that he was not so well known.
The Moran campaign managers be-
fore the primaries had been heard
from, claimed all the delegates from
Brockton, Everett, Fitchburg, Haver-
hill, Holyoke, Springfield, Taunton,
Melrose, New Bedford, Northampton,
Medford, Woburn, Fall River, Lynn,
Worcester and North Adams.
At II o'clock the tabulation showed
that he had secured nearly 400 of the
$50 delegates to the convention and re-
turns were constantly being received
from cities and towns showing strong
tendency in his favor
Outside the contest for delegates to
the state convention there was little
to attract Democratic voters to the pri-
maries.

MoDERATEs MORE MODERATE.
Have Abandoned Conditions That

Cuban Rebels Must Lay Down Arms.
Havana-The moderates have
agreed to appoint committee to ne
gotiate terms of peace with commit
tee of the rebels and liberals, leav.
ing all points upon which no agree
ment Is reached to the arbitration OF
the American commissioners.
The moderates have abandoned the
conditions that the rebels must first
lay down their arms before negotia.
tions.
1t was agreed that at the eXtraordi-
nary session of congress called for
Friday the resignation of President
Palma would be tabled pending these
negotiations with the hope of obviat-
ing the necessity of his leaving office.
This action, dametrically opposed
% hours of incendiary speeches which
had preceded it, came at the end OF
assembly hastily called to decide
whether some way could not be de.
vised to ward off American interven.
ton.
The meeting was held at the resi-.
lence of Senior Dolz, president OF the
senate. More than 60 persons were
present They included Vice-Pres.
Mendez Capote, nearly all the mem
5ers of the cabinet and almost all the
leading senator's and representatives
| representing nearly every part of the
island. Many officers of the ruraf
guard were present in uniform.
No sooner had the meeting assem-.
5led than the pent-up indignation
against the American peace commits
sioners broke forth. Several men be-
gan in loud voices and at the same
| lime to condemn Sec. of War Taft
| and Asst. Sec. of State Bacon, who
were declared to have shown par
| tiality in backing the rebels and dis
| elimination against the moderate side
Of the controversy. The speakers
shouted denunciation of the American
government and hotly insisted that
:he moderate party should appeal to
| he powers of the world for protection
against the usurpation of the sover-
| eighty of Cuba by the United States.
| It was declared that the government
:orces should fight to the death rath-
er than submit to the terms insisted
upon by the rebels.
Some of the most radical present
asserted that the government had
plenty of dynamite in Havana which
| could be used to precipitate those in
.Crnational complications that accrue
from the destruction of foreign prop
erty. Several prominent men said
that by using dynamite they could
bring about intervention by Germany,
Or perhaps Great Britain, while 9TH
ers declared rashly that they knew
hat the foreign diplomats here would
favor such a course, and it was ar
sued that the destruction of the Ger
nan bank and the dam aging of Eng
ish railroad property would soon re-
suit in European intervention.
Certain American properties also
we're specifically mentioned as con.
speakers even said that they would
prefer Germany or Great Britain in
Cuba to the United States.
This ebullition of frenzy subsided
after an hour and half and the
meeting then settled down to a con-
;ideration of the more rational ques
lion whether it were not possible to
'eopen the negotiations with the peace
commissioners.
