"A Wild Time In New York
 Convention
The Bryanites Will Bolt and Send COntesting Del egates.

New York. April 15.-State Senator Patrick H. McCarren, leader of the Kings county democracy. was unseat- ed tonight, as delegate to the party's state convention at Carnegie hall. after a two days bitter contest before the committee on credentials. He was alternately greeted with cheers and derisive cries, when he finally addressed the convention, and once he was insulted by man on the plat form near him. The senator told this man that he would talk to him outside the hall.
 Amid scenes tense and dramatic in the extreme, he first appealed to the convention to refuse sanction to the majority report, which he said, eX- cluded him from his place in the party councils. to which he had been chosen by his democratic constituents. He threatened the Tammany delegates with the statement that if their plans to put him outside the party lines were carried out, no one in the convention hall would live long enough to see the election of another democratic mayor in New York City.
 The senator's speech was attended by the most unusual and picturesque

circumstances. From the time he en- tered the hail. he received the cheers of the loyal followers, but the major ity was against him. The counter demonstrations were greater in vol tune. He made his fight calmly and cOurageously notwithstanding
 The proceedings were attended with much disorder and confusion in which both the McCarren men and their Op- ponents participated. Two days of waiting for the committees report af- fected the delegates. and they showed the strain during the long roll call on the adoption of the majority report.
 The business for which the conven- ton had assembled. the selection of delegates to the national convention, and the nomination of presidential electors, and the adoption of d plat form. were almost forgotten in the eX- citement over the McCarren contest. When the vote was announced, Me Carren. with his followers, rose and left the hall while their friends in the gallery gave them d parting cheer
 Another cheer greeted Bird $. Coler of Kings county as he and his fellow delegates entered to replace the Me Carren men. Senator McCarren said he would carry the fight to the Den yer convention. After the settlement of the McCarren and other contests the

MIR. ROOSEVELT HAS FRENCH
 APPROVAL

Paris. April 15.-The Temps today expressed enthusiastic approval of President Roosevelt's reasoning in ia vor of providing additional ships for the American navy, especially. his af- firmation that the United States would lose rank as a great power. ont only if she is feeble. but if she had the reputation of being feeble.
 France should meditate on this, the paper says.
 Continuing. the Temps points out that whether the United States likes it or not, the great change in American politics in the last ten years as well as the inevitable march of events forceS her into the active politics of the whole world in which she must play her full part. If America wishes 10 avoid war with Japan she must have a fleet per- in the Pacific. The Amer ican people at present are confused as to the proper course to pursue but President Roosevelt's naval policy sug- gests a luminous wise path which the country sooner or later must follow.

PLAIN WORD
 OF YAvAPAI
Most Rigid Instruction
 Against Instructions
The Will of the Party Carried Out Without Op- position.

Prescott, AriZ, April l5.-(Special.) )- The Republican county convention, as was foreshadowed in the late primaries came out strong against instructions tody. The convention of which Hon. Robert E. Morrison was chairman was entirely harmonious, there being no attempt on the part of those favorinS instructions to interfere with the pro gram.
 The delegation chosen to be sent to the territorial convention at Tucson is made up of the leading republicans of the county who were selected with special reference to their views on the subject of instructions. Some of the delegates left this evening for the south. The others will start this morning.
 The delegates were further bound against instructions by the following resolution:
 Realizing that Arizona has many things to secure at the hands of the republican national convention and be- lieving that the same can be better secured by an uninstructed delega- ton, we declare ourselves opposed, unalterably. first, last and all the dime. to sending an instructed delegation from Arizona and it is the sense of this convection that our delegates to Tucson convention shall use their ev . cry endeavor to secure the sending of an uninstructed delegation to the na- tional convention and to prevent the sending to Chicago of a delegation in structed to favor any particular pres idential candidate.
 We believe that truly representative men as delegates. unhampered and un- instructed can best represent our par ty a the national convention and. ap- preciating the truly representative cit izenship, the long and useful residence in Arizona of our honored fellow citi- Zens Hon. Richard F.. Sloan, we rec Ommend to the convention at Tucson that he be sent as one of the unin- structed delegates to said convention"

The Heated Debate Disclosed That Mir. Roosevelt and the Members the House Had Been Threatening Each Other.

 MT. Parker of New Jersey. held up the territorial isolation of Alaska as one argument for a greater navy.
 Mr. Willetts of New York asserted that a few days ago the president said to a committee from the house who called on him at the White House. and he said it in the presence of other peo- pie with his customary vehemence and facial distortions, Unless you give me four battleships 1 win veto your pub lie building bills That's the trouble with this situation. Mir Chairman. The president attempts
 MT. Willetts was interrupted by MT. Hobson. who, speaking with much feeling. said: Tn justice to the pres ident I wish to inform the gentleman from New York that I saw him a min ute after he said that and he told me that he was forced to say it because knowledge had reached him of a threat circulated in the house that unless the naval program was cut to two ships the leaders of the house would see to il that there would be no public build- ing bills at all"
 The voting and amendments in the regular division disclosed 79 ayes to 179 noes. MT. Tawney then offered an amendment reducing the number of battleships to one, but it was defeated, 205 noes to 65 ayes. Insisting upon d concession MT. Hobson devised an providing for three battle ships. which was voted down POS to 64, d larger majority than had developed on any other vote taken.
 Mt. Goldfogle of New York moved to amend by making mandatory the building of one battleship in a navy yard, and giving to the secretary of the navy discretion as to the building of the other. either in navy yard or by contract. The suggestion was adopted.
