MUTINY ON BRITISH SHIP
Chinese Crew of Strnthyre Makes
Trouble in New YOrk-Twenty
jump Overheard.

NEW YORK. July 11.-As the British
steamer. strathyIe, was about to sail from
its pier in Erie basin this evening twenty
members Of crew of forty-two Cinnamon,
who have heen in state of mutny ever
since the vessel docked here, made a con-
certed effort to leap overheard. Ten Of
them were successful and before rescuers
could go to their aid two drowned and a
third will probably die. The Strathyre
sailed tonight for Norfolk, Va, where 1t
will load with coal to be taken to the
United States naval station at Samoa.
The police managed to save eight of the
mutineers. All except the one who was
nearly drowned were taken on board the
vessel and locked up. The other was re-
moved to the hospital
This is the third time the Cinnamon have
caused trouble. A squad OF policemen was
stationed on the steamer after the first
outbreak.
The mutineers were signed for an eleven
months voyage at Shanghai, but they
wanted to leave the steamer and demanded
their pay. Captain Dunno has refused to
pay them until the ship is back In
Shanghai. 1t was necessary for Captain
Dunno to get another crew today to take
the steamer to Norfolk.
Just before the steamer Strathyre sailed
twenty-five of the Chinese mutineers were
placed under arrest by the police and taken
off the vessel. They will be arraigned be-
fore a United States commissioner tomor-
row.

TRANSFER POINT FOB LUMBER
Northern Pacific Planning 60 Estab-
llsh One Rt billings,
Montana.

TACOMA. Wash July 12.-CSpecial)-
The Northern Pacific railroad is planning
to establish a transfer point at Billings,
Mont, similar 20 the Minnesota transfer be-
tween, Z eapolis and st. Paul 1t will
be chiT z ed for the transfer Of lumber
and shiE, n nd will result in a big saving
on hsulS- : the markets Of Iowa. Ne
braska. r q and Missouri.
At Bill = he lumber shipments for
points on tx lington road will be trans
ferred. Eitho. q s will be transferred and
sent through = e markets or the lumber
will be unloe 2. and held until time to
place on the NJ Many manufacturers
oppose the esta 1ent Of the new trans
fer claiming {, will result in stil
further speculation in lumber and shingles
The spectators operating at the Minnesota
transfer are much under a cloud with local
lumbermen, who claim that the Spectators
buy when the price is down and then hold
the lumber until the price goes up They
dump such large quantities OF lumber and
shingles on the market that the price is
beaten down again. There are some lumber
men, however. who say this has It's ad-
vantage as it keeps their mills running
when the price is low and the demand Is
light, for the spectators stock up at that
time.
The Northern Pacific is making a thor
ough canvass of the lumbermen and Henry
Blakeley, general western freight agent of
the Northern Pacific, says that a majority
of the lumbermen want the new transfer
point. The new plan will take considerable
business away from the Minnesota transfer
but will save time and money for shipments
into the Missouri river states.

 INSTRUCT FOR BRYA AN
Roger C. Sullivan Dominates the State Convention and Leads In Support of the Liberty Plank Is Inserted In the Platform After Warm Fight
 Among Members of the Resolution Committee

cere enthusiasm for Bryan. When Bry-
 ans name was mentioned there was in-
 variably great applause and the read
 ing of the resolutions in his favor was
 greeted with cheers. Roger C. Sullivan,
 national committeeman, dominated the
 convention from first to last
 The fight over the personal liberty or
 nquor plank in the platform was warm
 and long, It delayed the convention
 nearly two hours and then minority
 of seven presented a report urging that the plank be entirely omitted. Nine
 teen members of the committee favored it and the convention sustained them by
 a vote of S49 to 6S6 Of the total in favor of the plank, 535 votes came from Cook county. Three-quarters of the
 country delegations voted against it, but the heavy vote of Chicago was too much for them.
 The Johnson men were not in evidence throughout the convention and no reso- lution bearing his name was introduced.
 The platform indorses among other things, the ship canal from the Lakes to the Gulf and declares in favor of a
 state employers liability law to sup plement the federal law on that subject. The personal liberty" plank Is as fol- lows:
 We believe that orderly customs and habits long pursued should not be dis turbed by intolerance, and we hereby declare in favor of the doctrine of dem- ocracy and free government which gives to the individual the largest measure of
 personal liberty, so long as he does not
 infringe on the personal rights of others. We are opposed to all sumptuary laws. The plank indorsing William J. Bryan IS as follows:
 Recognizing the broad statesmanship, matchless eloquence and untiring efforts ol our great leader the Hon. William Jennings Bryan, in the cause of human ity we, the democrats ot Illinois, honor- ing a native son and taking pride in his distinguished leadership, instruct the
 delegates to the national convention of
 our party at Denver from this state to 1 support his candidacy for the nomination
 of the presidency and to use all honor | able means in his behalf. We further | instruct the Illinois delegation to the
 Denver convention to act as a unit on all propositions"
