TRiBULATi0NS OF THE
THAT'S YACHTING PARRY
fredericksburg Delegation at Last Ar
rive Here After Many Mis-
fortunes.

Though the circumstances under
which the yacht ''Thais," which was
to have brought the delegation from
Fredericksburg and several CT the
lower counties to the Republican con-
venttCn, started out were of the most
suspicious nature, misfortune fell
thick and fast before many miles were
covered and when the belated dele
gates at last reached the city they
were sad looking crew.
According to one on board. the
whole trouble can be laid &c the fact
that that when the start was made
the American flag at the mast head
was up side down. Attention was
called to this and the. flag placed in
its proper position. Nevertheless the
hoodoo was there and before many
miles had been run one of the en-
gines broke down. The That's"
which is yacht eighty feet long, cro-
ceeded under one engine. until Ur-
banna was reached and here an at
tempt was made to repair tho broken
one. However, it could not be done
and the party decided to hire another
boat and proceed with the trip. The
DEL gates had hardly gone four miles
on the new boat before an explosion
of one of the air tanks occurred, near
ly causing a panic and leaving the
craft helpless in the middle of the
river. All kinds of efforts were made
to get back to shore without avail.
Old pieces Of plank and in fact any
thing that had fiat surface that could
be found, were brought in to use as
oars but she battling waves rendered
them usless. Then som<i one discov-
in the party and almost every one
gave up hope However. a kindly
fisherman with his craft came to the
rescue and towed the party back TO
Urbanna. r
Again a boat was hired, this time,
small enc, and the Farty crossed to
Irvington from wdere they came to
Old Point on tlle' Commodore Maury.'
of the Virginia oyster navy. Fisheries
Commissioner Mcdonald Lee kindly
volunteered the use of the boat.
However. when Old Point was
reached alarming discoveries were
made. Henry Warden. chairman
OF the Fredericksburg delegation,
found that his coat and suit case were
missing, while Mr. o. D. Foster, one
of the delegates aboard, was also
minus coat and 1t was seen that
Mr.. Huater, OF fredericksburg, had
captured somebody's shoes Finally
Mr.. Hunters shoes we're found and
an exchange was made Mr.. Ward n
borrowed a coat from some one that
Sore no resemblance to him In sta
ture, his arms protruded far below
the ends Of the sleeves and there was
scant connection between the coat
and his pants. Mr.. Foster purchased
an ulster of net at all new fashion.
and thus the party boarded steam
er at Old Point and arrived in this
city in time to attend the opening OF
ths convention
In speaking OF the matter yester-
day, one OF the delegates stated that
when the explosion occurred On The

Thirty years ago and that the repre-
sentatives from the south are de-
manding protection for the infant In

the Democratic party or else the solid
South would be broken and the many
,,Scutherners who are demanding pro-

Speaking on the merchant marine,
he said that the Republican party
stands fer the upbuilding OF the mer-
chant marine and the placing OF the
United States at the forefront OF the
nations Of the world in the traffic on
the high seas. This could only be
done by means Of subsidies. The
Democrats, he said, had ever opposed
such bills, but he predicted that the
time is not far distan! when the
American merchant marine will be
subsidized.
Prospect CT Japanese Invasion.
Mr.. Mckinley dwelt at great length
upon the question of Japanese inva'
sion. He declared that the Japanese
are branching out and grasping the
commerce OF the orient, it being pos
sible for them to do so because they
en- prodce manufactured articles for
for Tar less cost than any other ma
ton. They are equipplng their fac
tories with the best machinery and
are becoming skilled workmen.
When Mr.. Mckinley concluded,
Chairman Groner made brief ad-
dress, thanking Mr.. Mckinley for
what he declared to be the best
speech the delegates had ever had the
privilege to hear.
Many local people attended the
meeting last night and the Academy
was we'll filed.
