chicago, aug. lU.-l he returns Ol
Saturdays primaries show the nomi-
| nation of Charles Deneen as the Re-
publican candidate for governor, and
give the Republican endorsement for
United States senator to Albert j.
Hopkins. The majority of Deneen ov-
er Yates is probably $4,000. Hopkins
has about $4,000 plurality over Ross.
1t is certain, however, that Ross will
carry the fight into the legislature
and warm contest next winter is
assured.
Lawrence B. Stringer has received
an overwhelming vote for the Demo
cratic endorsement for Senator, and
Adlai Stevenson has been nominated
for governor.
Yesterdays Report.
Chicago, Aug. 9.-Returns from
came in slowly after the polls closed
Saturday night. At 10 o'clock infor
nation from the smaller country pre-
cincts was exceedingly meager. In
the city of Chicago figures had been
obtained to show that Charles S. De-
neen, the present governor, had been
victorious over Robert Yates for the
Republican nomination by about four
thousand. James H. Lewis was lead
ing the Democratic candidates for
governor in this county by 10000.
For United States senator, George
E. Ross, the present representative
in the Tenth district, had, from the
returns available at 10 o'clock, secur-
ed the Republican recommendation
for United States senator over A. J.
Hopkins by about 5000 votes. Will

in much smaller force to the prima-
ries than did the Republicans, there
being no such bitter fights in their
ranks as characterized the contests
among the Republicans for the guber-
material nomination and for the SEN
atorial recommendation to the next
legislature. 1t was evident early that
Lawrence B. Strinser, of Lincoln, had
been nominated for United States
senator on the Democratic ticket
The contest for the gubernatorial
nomination in the Democratic party
seemed to lie early in the evening
between Adlai Stevenson, of Bloom
ington, former vice president of the
United States, and James Hamilton
Lewis, of Chicago Lewis had a strong
lead in Chicago, where he resides,
but Stevenson was reported as re-
ceiving a heavy vote throughout the
state.
The first attempt to put the new
primary law into effect throughout
Illinois was attended by much confu-
sion. Challenges were frequent thru
districts it was reported that the vote
was light because many of the farm
ers declined to state their party affil-
iations before receiving a ballot. Tney
could not be allowed to vote, unless
they did this. and many of them left
the polls. The extreme length of the
ballot and the late hour to which the
polls were kept open rendered the re-
turns very slow and it is doubtful II
the full result of the election Is known
before some time Monday.

 Messenger, Publishes His Vieyya. Plainfield, N. J., Special.
 St. stephens Messenger, a mon4hlv publication of St. Stephens c,hurcb Northwood strongly attacks the "onsn pulpit of the Episcopal Church in its current issue, at the same time derlar- lng that the men who obtained the en- actment of the unusual canon at thA recent general convention of the Enis. copal Church. were the very ssmA ones that gave aid and comfort to the famous pr. Crapsey. who was denosed from the church ministry.
 Rev. Arthur Soaring Peck, who Adits The Messenger, says in 1t:
 Tt is very significant that those men and dioceses that upheld Dr. crapsey In his denial of the Fundamental truth s Of the Christian faith should be those who are now contendIng for an open pulpit. The canon in question does not give an "open pulpit" though the bishops of Massachusetts, Pennsylvan- : la, New York and Rhode Island have so isglslatea as if 1t did. Even if the canon did explicitly allow such a pro. cedure. 1t would never be lawful for 1t would be indirect contradiction of the views and teachings of the ordlna ton services contained In our Book of Common Prayer and of the faith and practice of the Catholic church since the day 1t was founded by Christ him. self"
 The editor says the slogan has been raised, trust our bishops." and he adds that 1t would be we'll if 1t were always possible to do so. He concludes:

DISASTER IS AvERTED
Steamers Are in Collision in Detroit
 River.

River.
 Detroit Mich, June 21.-A terrible marine disaster was narrowly averted on the Detroit river this afternoon when the heavily laden Belle Isle ferry steamer Brittania collided with the De- troit and Cleveland Navigation Com pany's steamer City of Alpena.
 Misunderstanding of signals is be- lieved to have been responsible for the. collision. The Brittania, loaded with several thousand men, women and children. was pulling out into the riv- CT, bound up, when the City of Alpena, bound down, left her dock, three blocks up the river. A moment after the two steamers left their docks, the thous- ands on the Brittania saw that a col- llsion was inevitable. Women and chil- dren screamed with fright and rushed about the steamers decks, pulling down life-preservers.
 The Brittania rammed the City of Alpena on the starboard quarter for ward of the paddle box and crushed in the upper works for ten feet. The BrittanIa was practically uninjured, and the damage to the City of Alpena was so slight that she proceeded down the river.
 For several minutes after the coI- lision, a panic of dreadful proportions was threatened on the Brlttania's crowded deck, but quiet was finally re- stored without serious Injury to any one.

BOMB ON A STEAMER.
InfernaI Machine Caused an Accident
 to the Arcadia

@--~-"~~
 to the Arcadia.
 Philadelphia, Pa. June 21--Investi- gation in the cause of the explosion on board the Hamburg American Line Steamer Arcadia in which three per- sons were killed and number injured on Saturday. strongly tends to sub stantiate the theory that the bursting of bomb caused the damage.
 The explosion occurred in hold No. {. in which the officers and agents of the vessel declare there were neither chemicals nor explosives. An examin- ation of the bulkhead of three eighths inch steel separating No. { hold from the coal holds shows that 1t Is cover ed. with small indentures as though volleys of bullets had been forced against 1t. The steel partition was was torn loose by the explosion and rolled up like paper, and some of the fire inspectors say that an ordinary gas explosion would not have caused such a condition.
 Even the ships officers, who at first declared the assumption that there was a bomb on board was absurd, today ad- mitted the possibility of such a thing. The theory of the bomb is also the on- ly one that explains the fact that two of those who met death in the explo- sion. were riddled with small holes apparently made by small pieces of Aye ing steel and broken nails.
 A handful of such scrap was gather cd up from the torn clothing and around the bodies of the dead men.
