cation 10 political institutions Of the
divine Injunction to tho first man "In
the sweat Of thy face shalt thou eat

liticnl and local. y state and national

The resolutions were presented for

ing to thcm said:
who ever accepts the principles OF
these resolutions is our political as
sociate and friend II am authorized TO
speak for every leader Of the organiza-
tom even though personally. we would
not care to shake his hand"
The resolutions which were adopted
amid tumut Of applause reahirmed
the definition of democracy as declared
by Tammany on March 49, 1ooI. and en-
, bodied in the democratic state platforms
OF las year They set forth that man is
entitled only - what he produces and the
trusts are condemned in that they have
reaped where they have not sown. Con-
corning the tariff II is declared that duties
levied upon articles that can he produced

NOT THE CAUSE
Believed the Grew on Battleship
Georgia Was Following Firing
Regulations Closely.
WERE LATELY INSPECTED
Naval officials Think "a burning Clot OF
SCOT Cnmc from the SOke Pipe
Necessary That Bag COntnin-
Ing the Powder he Highly
InflRmmnble.

Washington, July 1G.--It is said at
the navy department that 1t is oX-
tremely improbable that the accident
aboard the battlcship Georgia resulted
from any carelessness or lack of pre-
caution on tho part Of the personnel
of the ship. short time ago a thor
ough inspection was made OF every de-
tail Of the Georgia's ordnance by Com
mander Schofeld. one of the most ex-
pert of the ordnance officers of the
| navy.
II was found that the ships com
pany was very efficient at all points
and it was certain that they were fol-
| lowing closely the firing regulations
| in every essential detail.
| The officials here are disposed to
give consideration to the theory that
the powder charge of the eiEhtinch
gun was fred accidentally by a smould-
cring clot OF SCOT. which came from
the ships smoke pipe, alighting on the
bag Of smoeeless powder in the arms
of the loader. 1t is pointed out that
the bag enclosing the powder is made
of thin serge stuff which IL rather
infammablc. In fact. 1t is necessary
that It should be in order to be entire
| ly consumed in the bore OF the gun
after the charge is fred. otherwise
bits OF burning cloth might accident
ally explode the next charge Of powder
introduced before the brcech Of tho
gun could be closed. Such accidents
have occurred in the past. In case Of
ammunition used in battle, the bag
ging Is frequently made OF silk, with
a view to securing still greater
strength and perfect combustion Of the
envelope after a firing. IT Is proposed
TO carry the principles still further
and the ordnance bureau Is expert
menting with a method of impreEnat-
ing the cloth with collodion, to make
IT at once -;aterproof and highly In
nammablc.
AS to whether it is customary to
have the scuttle on top Of the turret
open during target practice. it was
said that this is almost a necessity
owing to the high temperature in the
turret while the guns are being fred
The opening also affords an easy
means of communication for orders
, And a further consideration is the
. beneficial effect upon the nerves of III.

avenue Of escape is always open tc

, snid to be curious illustration of tn,
irony of fate that the men apparently
persisted through the very mean:
adopted by them to secure their safety
When asked what additional prccauto,

WHITE HOUSE CONFERENCE

Twin City Bankers Talk Over
Situation With President.

dience with President Roosevelt.

the grain men of the Northwest were
talked over and it was authoritatively
announced that the secretary had
agreed to extend help and to do every

very gratifying to the delegation.

ONLY TWO HUNDRED KILLED
Latest Estimate of Victims of Kara
tagh Disaster.

New Bokhara, Turkestan, Nov. l.
The first reports of the catastrophe al
Karatagh were exaggerated. Instead
Of $4,000 persons being killed only
about 200 lives were lost. Most of
these persisted under the landslide,
which buried 400 of the 600 houses.
Karatagh Is situated in small am
phitheater among lofty hills, the Kara
tagh mountain hanging over it on one
side and river flowing on the other
At the height of the recent earthquake
great section of the mountain broke
away and slid upon the town. Houses
there were already falling on all sides
from the violence of the earthquake
and many of the luckless inhabitants,
unable to escape through the narrow
streets encountered by debris, were
caught and buried. No building ia
the town was left standing, the earth
quake dwelling them all to their
foundations. All the survivors were
without shelter and relief expedition
with supplies has left New Bokhara
for the scene of the disaster.
