Trapani, Sicily, in Open Revolt
Over Custer Of It's Mem

Journal. Special Service.

Journal Special Service.
London, July 81 The Rome CORE
spondent has mailed the following,
which the censor refused to allow to be
transmitted by telegraph:
Trapani, Sicily, is in open revolt.
Trapani is the birthplace of Signor Nasi
member Of the chamber, who, while
minister Of public works, was indicted
on charges Of embezzlemen,t and swim
ding. The chamber authorized his
arrest, but he escaped, and his where.
abouts are unknown. The people of
Trapani believe he is innocent and con-
tinue to elect him as their representa-
tive in the chamber.
Recently he applied to the court OF
cessation, arguing that, as deputy and
former minister, he is not liable to be
tried by, a. common court, but by the
senate. The court rejected his plea,
because Mast had not surrendered.
When the news reached Trapanl the
townspeople organized demonstra-
ton. The municipal court resigned In
body, and a portrait Of the king was
torn from the town hall and replaced!
by a bust Of Mast. The government
emblems were effaced and the names OF
the Mast family.
An attempt was made to haul down
the national flag from torpedo boat,
which hastily left the port. The
French flag was hoisted over the town
buildings. Troops were hurried to the
scene, and conflicts occurred between
them and the townspeople. It is be
lieved there were many casualties. De-
tails are scarce, the authorities not al
lowing the transmission of kilograms
from Sicily dealing with the trouble.

Special to The Journal.
Duluth, June 13.-Frantic efforts to
stem the jacobson tide marked scenes
prior to calling the convention together
today. All candidates agreed to stand
pat. Hennepin was brought in line
solid with ninety-nine votes for Block
on the first ballot. Everything pointed
this morning to an early break Of the
anti-Jacobson delegation towards Cole.
It was the last chance to beat Jacobson.
The Cole men cannot be swung in any
other direction without losing sixty OF
seventy Of them to jacobson. The OPP
position was in it's last ditch and could
not afford to lose half hundred dele
gates. il
jacobson manager, before the call
to order, predict his nomination on the
second ballot. He made spectacular
break last night when the Pine county
delegation, counted heretofore for Cole,
came in and surrendered en- masse to
Jacobson, ten more votes in his column.
Ten votes wer nat many, but they had
a moral effect, worth three times as
many. -,
: There will be forty or fifty-seven
district delegates handed to Odin Hal
den. There is no Jacobson-Halden COM
bination. jacobson has made no trades,
but his manager has given every other
candidate to understand that they will
| profit by giving jacobson liberal
showing. Fillmore will divide it's dele.
cation and give jacobson at least half
| in the interests of lverson. h..

Washington, June 49,. The republi

of an adjournment of congress as soon

in the way Of such program.
It was stated that every important

seeming authority, made the statement
at the meeting today that the appro-
priation for the canal carried by the
sundry civil bill can be expended with
equal advantage during the coming
| year for lock canal or sea-leyel canal,
and that Chief Engineer Stevens can
go ahead doing work which would be
necessary to either type.
See No Obstacles.
It is agreed that congress cannot dis
pose Of this question at the present SEES
sion, in view Of contrary opinion Of the

il is believed, will result in a decision
In favor of sea-level canal. In this
event it is expected the administration

not commit itself to either type.

After this Davis proposal had been
voted down, it was stated by Chair
man Wadsworth that the committee
might possibly go back to that matter
later, on, but that it will really do so,
nobody expects.
The committee also decided yesterday
by a narrow margin not to provide that
the canned goods shall carry a label,
showing the date of packing. This was
done in the face of a talk over the tele-
phone with DR.. Wiley, government
chemist, who said that while meat be-
gan to deteriorate the moment it was

thescanningA time. What would be the
condition of canned meats more than
two years old he was unwilling to say.
Mr.. Davis met still another Waterloo
Yesterday. The Beveridge bill has a
strong section covering the Inspection
of stock about to be slaughtered. 1T
provides that this stock must be in
spected before it goes into the slangh-
tering pens,r as well as at that time,
and the carcass afterWard before it
goes to. the canning houseof the sailing
room Mr., Davis wanted this section
retained by the committee, but such
provision was obviously too greatly
in favor of the public. The committee
instead of it, adopted a section which e!
pretends to provide for this kind of in,
spection, but which in fact is said to
furnish loophole by which carcasses
may be brought into the packinghouses
from other states without any sort OF
previous inspection and taken straight
| to the cannery before any tests are ap
| piled to them.
! How the house will dare adopt the
bill, which the committee is preparing
is something everybody in Washington
is thinking about today. 1t will not
| dare, provided the minority of the. com
mittee Is given sufficient opportunity tc
make itself heard on the floor.

WHAT CAUCUS SHOWED
Out Of 81 Hennepin Votes, 81 Are
for Block.

From Staff Correspondent.
Duluth, June 13.-Henneptn held It's
first caucus yesterday afternoon in the
courtroom Of the federal building. The;
session was executive and all were
sworn to absolute secrecy concerning
the discussions Of the meeting. Not,
;withstanding the ninety three swearers
present, the full details Of the caucus
were soon heard outside. The news
was too good for the Block men to
hold it long.
To determine the actual strength Of
the several candidates for governor, q
straw ballot was taken. Ninety three
delegates were present, but six took
no part in the ballot. The result was,
Lord 9, Cole 2 and Somerville /. The
only candidate not present or accounted
for was Diment, who failed to be
heard from. The Block men were iu-
bilant over the strong showing made
by the st. Peter man and made no
bones of showing it.
The straw ballot was the only i'm
portant business and practically the
only business Of the caucus. No attempt
Of the delegation or to discuss the adj
visibility Of adopting unit rule at
once. A call was made for some report
from the several members Of the steer
ing committee Of seven who have been
on the ground the past two days, but
the committee failed to make an ex-
tended report. The few remarks
vouchsafed by the committeeman re-
porting failed to bring additional en-
lightenment to the anxious members of
the delegation or to arouse enthusiasm.
Younger Element in Saddle.
The caucus is said to have been
amusing in many respects. While no
actual business was done, some of the
young blood on the delegation was
ready with oratory and advice In large
and luxuriant quantities. It was no
ticeable tho, that the old wheelhorses
Of the party. in Hennepin county, men
who have been attending conventions
for twenty-five years and know the
game as well as it can be learned, failed
to take part. It is even reported that
they sat back and with evident amuse
ment watched the oratorical operations
of the newcomers,
| Finding that no further progress
could be made, the caucus was ad
| .iourned until 8 O'Clock TODAY. United
| States Marshal w III. Grimshaw ha.
extended the use Of the federal court
. room for caucus purposes to tho dele
cation thruout the convention. II th,
