SAN DIEGO, March 16-The Ameri-

here from Magdalena bay April g. This
schedule should take the big fleet to
San Pedro not later than April H.
Allowing visit of three or four days
here and at least week at San Pedro
the battleships would have ample time
to make. stops at Santa Barbara and
Santa Cruz and arrive at San Fran
cisco on or before May 5.
AS the date, May g. has been set
definitely as the time of arrival at San

tended beyond that originally planned.

BY Associated Press
PARIS. March 16,-The situation be-
tween the Haytian government and
France has become acute and critical.
The French legation at Port au Prince
Is menaced and general massacre of
the white residents of the islands is
feared. This information was conveyed
in an official dispatch to the foreign
office from M. Carteron, the French
minister to Fayti.
Gen. Antonor Firmin, who led the
last revolt in Hayti, is among the refu-
gees under the French flag. The for
eIgn office recognizes that the general
and his followers are reyolutionists,
but declined to hand them over to the
Haytian government on the ground
that there were no assurances the men
would have legal trial. In this con-
hection it was explained that accord
ins to French tradition any man who
sought refuge under the French flag
should have at least temporary pro-
lection.
The Temps has specials from Port
au Prince saying that the local situa-
ton is grave Gen. Alexis claims that
the French legation and an attack upon
the legation is feared, the correspon-
dent says, because M. Carteron. the
French minister, declines to deliver the
refugees to the Haytian authorities.
LONDON, March 16.-The admiralty
this morning sent orders by cable to
the British cruisers Indefatigable and
Crecy, which are both in West Indian
waters, to proceed forthwith to Hayt
for the protection of British interests
there.
Germany Sends Cruiser
BERLIN, March 16.-The German
admiralty has ordered the cruiser Bre-
men, at present at Curacao, to go to
Port au Prince, Hayti. to be at the
disposal of the German minister for
the protection of German subjects or
other foreigners.
The foreign office has been in cor
respondence with the French govern-
ment with regard TO the political ar
rests made recently in Hayti and the
general situation of unrest in the
island. A French cruiser. 1t was
learned today, has been ordered to Port
au Prince.
A telegram received here by the Ger
man Gable company from Port au
Prince March Is says that the safety
of foreigners there was seriously
threatened.
1t is believed here that the Haytian
government is meditating forcible
measures against the right of asylum
afforded by foreign consulates in Hayti
to Haytian revolutionists.

He charged the senate and house
with absolute subservience to the

Mr.. Tilman also asserted that every
effort was being made to control the
negro vote, and, coming back to the
charge of favoritism on the part of
the president toward the wealthy. he
saiI:
"The poor fools who were spouting
his praises have so far failed to under

the Republican party has given the

and debauchery of the people.
"'The millions who have been robbed
are equally as enthusiastic as the mill

In POLITICS, especially, the spirit
of interest increases in proportion n
to the surity of hope. In the
dawning national Democratic con-
vention there ia the most wide
spread interest manifested this
year. In the Ohio State Demo-
crat convention of last week the
interest manifested was most
encouraging. In Logan on Thurs
day of last week, the unusual
spectacle presented itself, of one
of the lagrest senatorial conven-
tions of this district in either
party, being held by the demo-
Gratis, and nominations eagerly
sought in district largely repub-
lican. Look over the announce
ments for county officers. The
democratic nomination for almost
avery Office is spiritedly sought by
many persons, other, of course,
than those offices of second term.
ers. There are few places on
the ticket even sought by person
In the republican party, and it is
said that they have not been able
thus far to fill up half the ticket,
hence the delay in calling the
primary election. All this, under
the foundation rule of politics,
that "the spirit of interest in.
creases in proportion to the surity
of hope" gives evidence that the
democratic party expects to win
this fall; that the lack of interest
on the part of the republican
party is due to their lack of hope.
That the people generally, regard
less of party, believe there is to
be Democratic Gland slide" this
fall, there is little doubt. Demo-
crat victory is in the air, and will

ONO HAS not in years enjoyed Il
more exciting or more interesting
Democratic state convention than
that held at Columbus the past
week. There were friendly con-
tests from start to finish and the
delegates stuck faithfully to their
work for two days and two nights.
A stir was made when Mayor
Tom johnson, of Cleveland, with
his 81 votes undertook to control
the convention, but the country
counties all got together and
would not stand for being bossed
by any person one minute. They
out numbered Mayor Tom, and
just played with him at will.
They were the Embossed rank and
file of the party. What masters
they are against all bosses, if they
Just assert their rights! 1t was a
beautiful revelation of inde-
pendence to watch that body of
independent delegates work. May
or johnson rent the air with plead
ings for P,merene for governor,
but the delegates turned him
down. The Finley crowd and
johnson both fought and advised
against endorsing Hon. James E.
Campbell for senator, but the
delegates needed neither, and
endorsed him. Johnson had left
the hall sulking and someone pro.
posed his name for national dele.
gate. His opposition roared
against his election. The conven.
tion elected him with large ma
jority. The delegates had nothing
against Johnson nor Finley.
They simply would not stand for
being bossed by either. A George
b. Cox in that convention would
have lasted about as long as
snow ball in-in hot house.
Judson Harmon is the nominee
for governor, and as the Taft Re
publican Times Starr Of Cincinnati
had to say, "Judson Harmon Is II
good man. He is mere widely and
fayorably known than any Demo-
crat who run for the governorship

EDITORS F. M. Mckay and A. +.
Huls of the two republican papers
of Logan have issued their annual
proclamation. They call for the
election of county central com
mittee "by the people," without
dictation or suggestion from any
person. As usual they plead for
forgetting of the past factional
differences in. the county, and
pledge their support and co.opera-
tion to such committee, if chosen.
This all sounds very good in type.
Mckay and Huls have agreed to
proclaim, and proclaimed to agree,
and no doubt are fairly sincere in
the matter, and if affairs political
were left to them personally, all
would run smoothly They al
ways have agreed pretty we'll, in
themselves, but the difficulty ia,
that they must needs take sides
with the factions of their party,
to save themselves and their
friends. 1t is natural for them 80
to do. They may now proclaim
that committee must he elected
"by the people," and as soon as
the committee is elected major
ity of it in this county will belong
absolutely to John White. He
will own it and control it. Then,
no longer can Editor Huls sleep in
the same bed with Editor Mckay.
1t was the same way in the day of
the late lamented Col. Sands.
Editor Mckay meant we'll, and
probably wanted tn he friendly
with all party factions, but he
could not do so, and save himself.
He stayed with Col. Sands, but
the Colonel died. The then power
political was transferred to the
present most learned and distin-
guished boss, and he will bear
that honor until he dies of old age.
You cannot kill boss off in the
Republican party; because you
don't want to. You are not happy
except when bossed. 1t is posi-.
BILE that when Boss White dies,
and it is hoped that he will live to
be an old, old man, that there will
rise up one less beloved by his fell
lowmen. John is not bad sort
of fellow If you belong to his fac
tion, but il you don't, the people
may think best of you, II they can
see you. To make a long story
short the Republican party In
Hooking county is hopelessly d.
yidsd, the knowledge of which
makes . scarcity of county candi-
dates, aud al the "ssrssing 60
