New York Convention Anti-Bryan.

New York.-In n two days session
which began Tuesday with bitter FAC
tional disputes and was concluded late
Wednesday night amid scenes border.
ing on the riotous, the Democratic
state convention squelched boom for
William J. Bryan, drove the Kings
county faction. headed by Senator
Patrick II. McCarren. from their seats,
and chose an unpledged delegation to
the national convention at Denver.
The last hours business was trans
acted amid a hubbub that made 1t al
most impossible to determine the Will
of the delegates as expressed in their
voting.
During the day the Bryan men. who
had already been defeated In the com
mittee on resolutions, abandoned their
attempt to have the national delegates
instructed for Bryan. The real fight
of the convention centered in an at
tempt to oust n large number of the
Brooklyn delegates. headed by Senator
McCarren. This attempt was success
full, as was the move to have the state
committee name its successor. instead
of it's members being elected as for
merly by the several senatorial dis.
tricts.
Senator McCarren, beaten in com.
mittee, carried his fight to the floor OF
the convention and before he was voted
out of that body threatened that never
in the lifetime of those present would
Tammany be able to elect another
Democratic mayor. McCarren was
cheered, hissed. interrupted and in.

Benefits of the Carey Aot.

Washington, D. C.-Senator Clark
of Wyoming. in submitting a report
from the Senate committee on public
lands in favor of Senate resolution
No. &C, introduced by Senator Warren.
to add 100000 acres of land to Wyom-
ings quota under the Carey desert
land act, furnished the following in
formation in reference to the opera
tions of this act in Wyoming:
Under the provisions of this act the
state of Wyoming has already applied
for nearly 100000 acres, and surveys
are now being made and applications
prepared for additional amounts.
which will far exceed the amount orig
inally mentioned in said law. The COM
mittee is of the opinion that the oper-
ations of the act should not be him
dered or impeded and that the addi-
tional acreage should be made avail
able.
1.-THE operations of the Carey act in
dealing with the arid lands have been
most beneficial. No person can ac-
quire under this law more than 16o
acres and the whole transaction is so
guarded as to insure in the highest
degree honest operation as we'll as the
actual settlement and improvement OF
the land. This law operates to re-
claim tracts of land where the labor
and expense is beyond the means of
the individual settler and tracts
usually not of sufficient area to at.
tract the attention of the reclamation
service"

May Discipline Venezuela.

WcshingtOn.-The long pending dis
pute with Venezuela is to be placed in
the hands of President Roosevelt for
settlement. The Senate has so decided
and as soon as the formal resolution
giving him full authority has been
passed. he will take 1t in hand. Recent
ly ratified treaties compel this govern
ment TO seek arbitration, but as Vene-
zuela has several times refused to ar
bitratc the claims of American citizens
and companies. there is no doubt that
she will now consent to II.
In case President Castro again re-
fuses. Mr.. Roosevelt will have full
power to employ force and he will not
hesitate TO do this. There is no pros.
pect of anything like real war, as n
few shells from an American warship
would bring the Venczuelans to terms.
and hostilties would probably consist
in the landing of few marines in Ven-
ezuelan ports to seize the custom
houses.
