WISCONSIN FOR BRYAN.
Democratic State Convention Meets
IN Miluaukec.

Milwaukee Feb 13.-Wisconsin will probably
send a solid delegation to the Democratic va
tional Convention at Denver pledged to support
w J. Bryan for the Presidential nomination
according to differences drawn from the results
of the various district caucuses which named
delegates to-day to be presented to the state
convention for confirmation.
The convention was called to order at the
Davidson Theatre this afternoon by Chairman,
II. H. Manson who introduced as temporary
chairman john F. Doherty, Of Lacrosse. Mr.
Doherty outlined Democratic issues, and ac-
cused the Republican party of assimiiat1ng
Democratic doctrines, and closed by referring to
William Jennings Bryan as the standard bearer
already chosen. Mr.. Doherty's reference TO
Bryan yociferously cheered
These radical Republicans, said Mr.. Do

have become like inflated balloons. and. soaring

L1CoR1CE ROOT DUTY REDUCED.
Turkish Government and Exporters Reach
an Understanding.

Constantinople, Feb. 13-The dispute between
the government and the exporters of llcor1ce
root has been adjusted, thanks to the in
tervention of the American Embassy at Con-
stantinople Practically the monopoly Of this
trade is in the hands of an American firm which
has objected to the excessive export duty
charged on the roots.
In order to facilitate the collection of the tithe
this article the government had fixed the
tax, nominally 121a per cent, at 21a paras per
oke. equivalent to one farthing for five pounds.
With the recent decline in the price of licorice
this inconsiderable charge represented practi-
cally 20 per cent of the value OF the root and
the company demanded either reduction or
leave to pay in kind. The government refused
the latter alternative, although provided for in
the regulations, and showed a strong disin-
clination to grant reduction Matters have
been at a deadlock for some time, and the
authorities have prevented shipments. but
result of the intervention of the embassy an
agreement has been arrived at the basis of
reduced fixed duty Of 1A paras per oke-
