MORE THAN ORDINARY WELCOME FOR
AMERICAN WARSHIPS IN AUSTRALIA
Dramatic Scene at Gathering of Citizens at Sydney When
Coming of the Great Fleet Was Announced

Sydney, March 15.-There was a
dramatic scene today at a great gath
ering of citizens when, at the conclu-
SIGN of an address on the subject of
national defense. the premier. Alfred
Deakin. read a cablegram announcing
that the American fleet of battleships
would visit Sydney and Melbourne. He
called for three cheers for the United
States, and the audience rose en- masse
and responded with deafening hurrahs.
The prime minister said that ne was
sure that such a welcome as an Amer
lean fleet has never known outside Of
its own country would be accorded it
by Australia. and the cheering that fol-
lowed this statement seemed evidence
of the fact that the Australians, one
and all, have a feeling stronger than
mere friendship for the American peo-
pie and their navy.
Premier Deakin in his speech advo-
Gated greater expenditures for national
defense. He said that the burden i'm
posed upon the people of Great Britain
for the maintenance of their naval and
military forces was beginning to tell
and that wealthy Australians could not
expect to enjoy the privileges of the
protection against invasion without
bearing their share of the cost The

ALLISON WILL
Be IN CONTROL
Republicans of Iowa Will Hold
Their State Convention
Wednesday.
CUMMINS GETS SHORT END
DELEGATES TO NoTIoNAL CON-
VENTION WILL BE FOR TAFT.

Des Moines, Ia. March 15.-Repubiieans
of Iowa will meet in state convention at
Des Moines on Wednesday to elect dele
gates to the NATIONAL convention at Chi
cage.
While there has been considerable rival
ry between two factions OF the party for
control of the convention, the controversy
will probably not have any effect on the
action of the convention regarding the in
structions to the delegates. One faction
is headed by Governor A. b. Cummins,
while the other is led by United States
Senator William B. Allison. The contro-
versy mas conferred mostly around the
campaign of Senator Allison for re-elec-
ton to the senate against the efforts of
Governor Cummins to supplant Allison.
The faction that musters the most votes
in the state convention will name the
delegates at large to the national con-
vention and will write the platform.
Unofficial returns from county cOnven-
lions. the last of which was held Satur-
day night. indicate that the adherents Of
Senator Allison will have a substantial
majority of delegates to the state con-
vention. Followers of Allison will prob
ably control the selection of district dele
gates in seven of the eleven districts of
the state The First. Sixth and Eighth
districts have already selected delegates
and instructed them to vote for the nomi-
nation of Taft for president

from New York for Halifax, y. S, and
st. Johns, y. F.. which struck on Sow
and Pigs Lodges at the entrance to Vine
yard sound just before daylight yester-
day morning, remained hard and fast

saving her looked very slight. At sun
set the seas, driven by q southwesterly
gale, were making a clean sweep over
the steamer. Her crew, who came
ashore to spend the night at the Guilty

fear that she would go to pieces before
morning.
The passengers, all of whom were ia
ken off the Sylvia yesterday by the
revenue cutter Mohawk, remained in
New Bedford last night and today went
to Boston, whence they will be sent to
their destinations.

Comment in Russia.

st. Petersburg. March 15.-The SiovO
says that the return of the American
fleet as announced is as sensational as
its departure for the Pacific. Appa-
rently the SlOvO thinks the danger of
war has disappeared. for it adds:
while this arouses deep satisfaction
in Europe, the preservation of peace is
due to the display of the big stick of
the United States, the prudence of
Japan and the good Offices of Great
Britain
the original purpose, the cruise has
done a useful service by a public ex-
animation of the American navy. We
regret that the course of the feet lies
away from our shores, where it would
meet with the heartiest welcome"
