IL Is TO Abandon Idea of Presenting a
Minority Report Fayoring In
structed Delegates for Him.

New York, April IA bitter contest
between State Senator Patrick III. Nc
Carren and the forces led by Chair
man w. j. Corners and Charles f.
Murphy over the seating of the McCar-
rem delegates from Kings county. de-
layed the opening of today's session
of the Democratic state convention.
The fight was in the credentials com
mittee and its finish was expected in
time to allow the convention to meet
again about p. IN. Meantime the
Corners Murphy forces agreed upon
the names of Alton Il. Parker, Charles
e. Murphy, Lewis Nixon, and Charles
Froeb of Brooklyn, a merchant and
president of the Arion society, as dele
gates at large to the national conven-
ton. 1t was announced that Nathan

electors.
At 1882 p. M, Temporary Chairman

the committee on resolutions; Angus
tus Thomas. president of the Bryan
Progressive league, and others inter-
ested in Bryan's cause, held confer
ence before the meeting of the conf
mittee on resolutions today and de-
cided not TO oppose the report OF the
committee which will declare for an
uninstructed delegation 10 Denver. Mr.
Thomas, who. since the adjournment
of the resolutionse committee last night,
had consulted by wire prominent DEM
ocrats in the south, said today;
MIR Bryan's friends, after confer
ence and without any especial review of
the general conditions as far as Mr..
Bryan is concerned, believe that con-
sidering the lack OF harmony there is
in the convention, it would be unwiSe
to introduce any other question that
might make a divison-even so annie
able a question as that of annexation.
That was also the opinion of Mr.. Bry-
ans friends headed by Mr.. Mack on
the committee on resolutions.

Washington, April 15.-.In spite of the
presidents urgent recommendation con-
tained in his special message sent to
Congress yesterday that four battle
ships be provided for in the naval APP
preparation bill. that body is not likely
to authorize more than two at this ses-
sion.
The naval committee Will make pro-
vision in the naval bill for only two
battleships." said Senator Hale, chair
man of the committee on naval affairs
in an interview late yesterday.
THAT number is sufficient and there
Is a possibility that only one may be
provided for before the bin is finally
passed. There Is strong sentiment at
both ends OF the Capitol in favor of
only one ship, although, as / said be-
fore, appropriation will probably be
made for two, but no more"
John Sharp Williams said that more
than two-thirds of the Democrats
would vote against four battleships,
and the Republican leaders appear con-
fident that at least half Of the Repub-
leans Will do likewise.

held especial interest for him. The
address was one delivered at Colum-

martyred President which was its in

argued thus: Let us not forget the
country is not great by reason OF its

Our land is great because OF the char

living and working under the inspira

in places where public concerns re.

an excellent one, but, with the re-

work a hardship on the taxpayers, and
might, in the meantime, become a

Identification. Art dealers who have
fattened upon the easy crcdulity OF

est resentment of the cry OF fake, and
the near-critics who bought and pas

daub with silent suspicion. High art
has for years been adopted as con-

been beating out a fortune for scores
OF years with no thought or know

is as patent fraud in this attitude OF

reconciling the public here to the lam

who become fake connoisseurs should
not complain if some OF their pur-

moral which Gotham is pointing to
the incident
