The Third Party Convention.

Philadelphia, July 2S.-After night
OF compromises and attempted deals to
effect a combination for the defeat Of
Clarence Gibboney, the well known re-
firm leader, and ex-State Treasurer
Berry, the two strongest and most
logical candidates 10 head the ticket,
the party chiefs had bitter fight ON
their hands when the third party state
convention opened here today. To de-
feat these two candidates, Rudolph
Bankenburg. Of this city, has been
forced to the front by the Sheatz-Nlles-
Carr factions. Neither the Berry nor
Gibboney following will agree on the
latter as a compromise, and entered the
convention determined to brook no in
reference from the plotting" leaders.
The convention will be bitter and de-
termined one, and the outcome depends
upon the mashalling OF the forces OF
the two leading candidates,
While last hour announcements by
Berry and Gibboney leaders were to
the effect that both were hopeful OF
success, they were emphatic in their
denunciation OF the "self-appointed
leaders" and declared they would not
enter into any combination, but would
go to defeat fighting for principle.
However, the steam roller which has
been employed so effectively in ma
chine conventions is ready for instant
use and that it will be employed in the
convention to fiatten out Berry and
Gibboney is apparent.
The opposition leaders admit that
Gbboney and Berry must not be noml-
mated and openly declare'they propose
to 60 TO the limit to defeat these men.
John G. Sheath called the convention
to order shortly before noon. He made
a short opening speech after he which

THE ACCESSION OATH.

The kings accession declaration bill,
in an amended form, passed its second
reading in the British House of Com
mons by a vote of 410 to "a yesterday.
The bill as it now stands provides that
the announcement against Catholicism
shall be elimated, and the clause and
declare that am faithful Protestant"
substituted
The non-conformists showed strong
opposition to the original substituting
clause, which read and declare that |
am a faithful member ofthe Protestant
Church as by law established in Eng
land, " and the premier finally accepted
their amendment
1t is believed that all difficulties have
now been removed and that the bill will
survive the committee stage and be ac-
cepted by the House OF Lords without
further trouble.
During the discussion in the Com
mons several anti-CatholIc societies
gathered near the Parliament, and
number Of No Property" pIacards
were displayed.
The old accession oath denounced
the practices Of the Roman Catholic
Church in regard to the alteration Of
the Virgin Mary and the saints as super
stitious and idolatrous. The new oath
assintroduced by the prime minister on
July %, omits all reference to Catholic
beliefs, and reads as follows;
Il do solemnly and sincerely, and in
the presence OF God, profess, testify,
and declare that am faithful men,
Der OF the Protestant Church, as by
law established in England, and / shall,
according to the true intent Of the en-
actments which secured the Protestant
succession to the throne Of my realm,
uphold and maintain the said enact |
ments to the best Of my powers and ac-
cording to law, J."

Madriz,s Appeal Refused.

Berlin, July 2S.-The Foreign Office
today authorized the statement that
Germany had refused to lodge a protest
at Washington against interference by
the United States in the affairs OF Mica
ragua Six weeks ago an appeal was
received from President Madriz of Mica
ragua, for protest by Germany against
American intervention, and the fact that
Gefmany's reply was not made known
until today indicates that the Foreign
Office gave the matter the most careful
attention,
Today's statement by the Foreign
Office is to the effect that Germany
replied, politely refusing to intervene. "
The Madriz appeal was the same as
that sent by him to European Goun-
tries and to Mexico.

Madrid, July 2S.-El Liberal, one Of

day that the Vatican has addressed a
cute note, practically amounting to an
ultimatum, to the Spanish government,
stating that it WILDE impossible to con
tinue negotiations for modifying the
Concordat unless Spain postpones or
withdraws its recent laws regulating the
state and church.
These laws are far more liberal to
the non-Catholic organization than the
old laws, and have proved offensive to
the Catholic leaders.
A cabinet meeting has been called to
discuss the situation. FL Liberal under
stands that the Spanish ambassador to
the Vatican will be immediatly recalled,
and that the Papal Nuncio at Madrid
will be given his passports.

Burned and RiOtous scenes Enacted.

Toronto, July 2S.-Thf statement OF
the Grand Trunk officials that the
striking employees had asked to be
taken back in body and that this re-
quest had been refused, is denied today
by the strike leaders, who declare no
offer Of settlement was made, save on
terms of arbitration.
According to the railroad officials,
the mems alleged request to return IN
body was refused and they were told
by President HAYS they must return as
individuals. The company officials say
the request was made at a conference
between Messrs. Lee and Garretson for
the men, and President Hays and Vice
President Fitzhugh for the company.
The officials say the men also re-
quested that they be allowed TO retain
their rights to pensions, which they
forfeited by striking, and asked arbi-
tration on the time for increasing
wages. This time was originally set Tor
January / 1913.
In declining to accept these alleged
propositions, Hays declares he said;
you must apply for your jobs as new
men. We hired a number OF men IN
good faith, and cannot discharge them
10 make way for the men who struck.
The men who went out will lose their
pensions, but those who apply for posi-
tons will be taken back as far as we
have room for them. This applies to
all except those who have committed
deeds Of violence. "
