CRUISERS ARRIVE WITH Tok-
PEDo BOATS IN TOW.
THROUGH STORM
New Records Established by the Yes
sells Of Uncle Sans Navy-No Un-
toward Incidents During the Trip,
from San Francisco to the Islands.

Honolulu, Sept. 2.----The cruisers OF
the Pacific fleet, commanded by Rear
Admiral Swinburne, finished the first
stage Of the cruise undertaken to test
the ~practicability of towing torpedo
boat d%estroyers, when the flagship Vir.
ginia, the Maryland, Pennsylvania and
Tennessee locked at / O'Clock this
afternoon in the harbor and the re-
naming vessels, including the supply
ship Solace, anchored outside. The
arrival of the warships was witnessed
by many residents of the islands and
a hearty welcome was accorded the
officers and men.
Except upon several occasions when
the tow lines parted or became so
chafed that alterations or stoppages
were required, the feet maintained
the formation taken outside the har-
Dor of San Francisco.
The destroyers Preble and Perry
were lowed the entire distance with
out break or delay OF any kind. The
Whipple's line once become chafed
and her consort was obliged TO slack
en- while repairs were made. One OF.
the other destroyers had one or two
breaks to its credit. In one instance
the break was at the bow of the tor
pedo boat destroyer, which, as was
anticipated, proved to be the weakest
point in the towing chain.
The cruise vas never attended with
danger or difficulty.
The highest draft indicated by any
Of the dynamiters a $4,000 pounds.
Forty thousand was the highest av-
erage intended. In the fog and during
a storm, prevailing the first day and
night out the draft was between
10000 and 10000 pounds.
The only incident of the voyage vas
when signal nan Anderson fell from
the signal tower Of the West Vir-
ginia. He swan to the buoy thrown
him and was rescued uninjured by one
of the three boats which were lowered
before the Preble could slip her tow
line, as required to do in such emerg-
encies.

with the deepest significance, not only
to miners, operators and consumers Of

The work of this conference will re-

WILL ELECT DELEGATES TO
COUNTY CONVENTION TO-DAY.
LITTLE l%NTERE:STTAKEN
Not Even Sufficient Candidates in the
Field to Complete County Ticket
Office Holders All Have Fight for
Nominations.

Primaries will be held by the Demo
Gratis Of Yellowstone county today to
elect delegates to the county conven-
ton, which will be held In the court
house Saturday and which Is sched-
uled to choose a list of delegates to
the state and judicial conventions and
nominate a county ticket.
So far, however, there have not been
sufficient candidates developed to en-
able the followers of "the Peerless
One" to name a complete ticket and
as a result it is said the leaders have
decided to name the delegations Sat
urday and then adjourn till ONE fu-
ture date to nominate the ticket. Add
ed to this scarcity of candidates, which
shows the hopeless view the would
be-candidates in the Democracy take
of the coming election, is the lack of
harmony existing between the Demo
cratic Office holders and the party at
large.
There has been practically no inter-
est taken by the rank and file in the
primaries to be held today. The Dem
ocratic officers will have n ticket
and their opponents will have another
and the henchmen will probably all be
there, but the party at large seems not
to care who wins the nominations.
Primaries in the county precincts
will be held between the hours Of 2
and 4 o'clock in the afternoon and in
the four Billings precincts between
the hours Of 6 and 9 p. m. The repre-
sentation In the convention will be
based upon one delegate for each ten
votes cast for J. B. Herford for repre-
sentative, which gives the different
precincts the following representa-
ton:
Junction, 8; North Billings, No. 2,
