REGISTRATION RALLIES
Among the visitors this morning 20 tho
Wetmore headquarters were Senators An
thony Of East Providence and Stoddard
OF Portsmouth. who was chairman OF the
last senate finance committee. They re-
ported Wetmore sentiment in their towns
as stronger than ever. The same report
was brought in yesterday by Senator VIII
cox.
AS the days go by confidence Is express
ed by the league representatives ir thei-
ability to control the Republican state
convention next fall, after which they be-
lieve It will be difficult for any ambitious
man on the Republican side TO cause
trouble for Wetmore in case a Republican
majority is elected TO the next general
assembly.
Last evening there were two rousing
Democratic Good Government registration
rallies one in the Eighth and the other
IN the Ninth wards That they are having
excellent results. coupled with the efforts
of the Democratic city and state COM
mittees, IL generally admitted and the
claim Is advanced that fully seven tenths
OF the registered voters now on the books
at city hall are Democrats, while the ma
jority OF the taxpayers are undoubtedly
either Democrats or Independents on re-
form issues in the state and city.
This makes the situation look particu-
larly bright TO the reform leaders. who.
while not believing the coming b-ttle will
prove a walkover. still think that the
prospects of victory were never before so
bright as they are today.

+HESS|ANS OUT IN THE
COLD; Will HAVE NO SHOW
AT REP. SUGAR BARREL

The long unbroken silence and In
activity OF the Hessians, or Jacobins,
who have been trying for the past four
years TO control the Providence Democ-
racy in the interest of the Republican
state machine. was explained today.
There is to be nothing doing this
year. so far as Republican assistance
is concerned. as the state machine has
all the legitimate trouble Il wants
without the additional burden OF at
tempting TO control the Democratic
caucuses in cities where the independ-
ent vote makes II certain there Is no
chance OF any Republican nominees
for the general assembly winning.
The fly Hessians. who flock around
the machine sugar barrel. and were so
thick last year that they cleaned IL
completely. are not in evidence now.
and are not even boasting any more
about what they propose TO do to Met
calf, Hogan. Mccarthy and other men
Of Independent mind who have Offend
ed them seriously by antagonizing
their friends. the Republican machine
leaders.
Only two months ago the air was
filled with threats, maledictions, wall
ings and promises from the Hessian
element. At that time the approaching
campaign looked like "sure money"
and they expected TO get theirs with
out trouble.
NOTHING FROM wETMORE.
The development and expansion OF
the Wetmore movement has proved a
severe shock TO the Besslans, as II has
shown the futility OF expecting any
serious fight between the Colt and
Wetmore factions in this city which
would make control OF the Democratic
caucuses thing to be desired. II
there were the ghost OF show OF
clecting a Republican general assembly
delegation from Providence against any
kind OF a Democratic ticket, there
would still be a chance for the Hes

FREEDOM OF CITY
Of DUBLIN FOR
DICK CROKER

London, June 13-The proposal to be-
stow the freedom OF the city of Dublin on
Richard Croker will be contested but
probably will be carried by the National
lists, who have large majority in the
council and who were the originators Of
the proposition.
The motion, OF which notice has already
been given reads:
"In view OF the unique and distinguished
position acquired by Mr.. Croker as an
Irishnan in America, and his intention
10 spend the remainder of his days in his
native land and support the Irish parlia-
mentary party in it's struggle for home
rule, he is hereby constituted an honor
able freeman OF the city OF Dublin"
The only other Americans who have
been given the freedom OF the city oe
Dublin have been General Grant; Captain
Potter OF the famine relief ship Constel-
lation and Patrick A. Collins, the late
mayor OF Boston Mass.

METCALF PARTY
RETURNS SAFE TO
WASHINGTON

Washington, June 1S.--After rather
an eventful trip down the Potomac,
through Chesapeake bay and then up
the James river. Secretary Metcalf and
party returned to Washington at IL
o'clock today with all OF his original
party aboard. with the exception of
Postmaster General and Mrs. Meyer,
who left the others at Westover. Va,
and returned to Washington by train.
Almost from the first Secretary Met
calf encountered delays. He had
planned TO leave Washington early last
Saturday. The Dolphin did not leave
until late in the afternoon, the delay
being caused by the tardiness of the
train which was bringing Mr.. and Mrs.
George Vanderbilt from Asheville. Be
side the Vanderbilts there were aboard
Mrs. Metcalf and Miss Chabot, a friend
OF the secretary's family
After experiencing a good deal of
bad weather, the Dolphin arrived in
Hampton Roads and took part in the
naval display OF last Monday
The following day the party made a
trip In the lighthouse tender Maple lp
the James river to point 30 miles be-
yond jamestown Island on visit TO some
friends.
At that point Postmaster General and
Mrs. Meyer left the party driving to the
nearest railway station, about seven miles
distant, and returning by train TO Wash
ington.
The lack of telcgraphic communication
with Secretary Metcalf from the time he
left the Dolphin Tuesday morning until
yesterday afternoon gave rise to many
inquiries as TO the whereabouts OF the
party, but not the slightest apprehen-
sion was entertained at the navy de-
partment, where the officers had correct
ly estimated the cause OF the delay In

Appieyard created sensation yesterday
by selling many thousands OF shares OF
the stock OF the United Gas Improvement
company, depressing the price nearly 81
share. He admitted that these were
short sales, and hds extensive opera
tons puzzled the local brokers.

United Gas Improvement stock, which
closed at Ss4 yesterday, opened today at

together soon after the exchange opened

l3,100 shares Of stock at that price under
the rule"
One broker says Appleyard went short
or more than 10000 shares of United Gas,
some OF which he bought in at n profit.
Until yesterday Appleyard's operations
on the exchange had been so insignificant
that he was known TO only few OF his
fellow members.
