SIDE LIGHTS ON THE
NORFOLK CONVENTION
Some Delegates Gave Expression to
View on Situation

Among the speakers before the
State Democratic invention in
Norfolk last Thursday was Senator
Swanson, whose reception was lack
ing in cordially, even in proper
courtesy. He failed to defne his
preference for the nomination.
When the Junior Senator took his
seat the convention sent Harry St
George Tucker to the platform amid
rousing cheers Mr.. Tucker. Viii
son man and one of the delegates at
large, commenced by saying that
he knew exactly what he wanted
and that was Woodrow Wilson
for President. He fairly took the
convention by storm. Wilson"
be said, "tvpiies two great princi-
pies first, the placing of the govern
ment OF this country in the hands of
the people and. second. the reduction
OF the tariff. He combines into one
great leader Of men the great and
admirable qualities of all the candi
dates and stands out in this critical
period OF this nation as the one man
of all our distinguished, patriotic
and able statesmen who can and I
believe will restore to the American
people the government of their couu-
try.
1 have sympathy for those among
US here In this convention who be-
lieve Harmon should be our nomi-
nee; likewise l sympathize with the
supporters Of Underwood and with
those who want Clark. But l must
declare to you, my fellow men, that
| cannot sYmpathize with those who
do not know what they want or
whom they favor for President of the
United States.
OF Roosevelt Mr.. Tucker said.
II Theodore Roosevelt is made
President of the United States God
alone knows what is 10 become of
the government of this country"
Carter Glass, Congressman from
the Sixth district. followed MIR.
Tucker and brought down the
house.
In the last analysis | am for no
one man, but for the party, but being
Tor the party l am for the princi pies
of the party as exemplifed IN Wood
row Wilson," he said"
Speaking Of instruction he said:
What are delegates for? Are ttey
men selected by their fellow citizens
to go to the Baltimore Convention
and there let somebody else do their
guessing for them? For my part.
want TO say that If there is to be and
the representatives oil Virginia are
to vote under the guidance OF guess
work. then let the Democrats of this
State Go the guessing. l prefer to
leave 1t TO the people OF this State
to say whom they want for Presi-
dent rather, whether they guess at
the right man or whether their
choice be based upon something
more like the stuff that the rank and
hle of Virginians usually use in ar
irving at decisions affecting the
welfare of this State and Nation"
Congressman Hal d. Flood of the
Tenth district, VINO, like Senator
Swanson, is high in the councils OF
the State Democratic machine. also
spoke in behalf of an uninstructed
delegation. But he deity laid for
himself none OF the pitfalls that
could let the convection in upon his
indispositiOn to declare his personal
preference. as did Senator Swanson.
He spoke along the same line that
the Junior Senator followed, but he
gave the convention no very good
opening for a demand to know
where he stood.

the nature of the soil itself. Whether
this line between the bed and the
banks will be found above or below,
or at a middle stage of water must
depend on the character of the stream.
The height of a stream, during much
the larger part of the year, may be
above or below middle point between
this highest and least flow. Some
thing must depend also upon the rap
idity of the stream and other circum-
stances. But in all cases the bed Of
a river is a natural object, and is to
be sought for, not merely by the appli-
cation of any abstract rules, but as
other natural objects are sought for
and found, by the distinctive appear
ances they present; the banks being
fast land, on which vegetation, appro-
pirate to such land in the particular
locality grows wherever the OanK is
not too steep to permit such growth
and the bed being soil of different
character and having no vegetation
or only such as exists when commonly
submerged in water"
"A fresh-water river, like a tidaI

This line of high water mark as

BRITAIN DISPUTES RIGHT
 TO CHARGE CANAL TOLL

London. Sept. s-Great Britain. If the newspapers can. be believed, will insist that the United states take the Panama Toll matter to the Hague for arbitration. If the United States newspapers can be be- lieved. the United States will do nothing Of the sort. This govern ment reasons that it has the same right to build a canal from one Am erican port to another, and charge any thing it seems expedient, that 1t has to build railroad from one American port to another and make the same charges In the latter case it has already done so across the isthmus without any interfer- ence from foreign shippers, though the government discriminates in fa- vor of it's own shipping.

YUKON RIVER LOWEST
 IN ITS HISTORY

The water in the Yukon river is several inches lower than ever be- fore known at this season of the year, being eight inches lower at Five Fingers than when navigation closed last season.
 On her present trip down the riy- CT, according 10 information wired to supt. Wheeler by Captain McMaster, the seikirk vas groveling in mud at Kirkman for two days, the channel at that qlaca having passed practie- ally out of existence The old chan neI at that place was found when navigation opened this season to have filled, but as long as the water remained a. fair stage, little diff culty was experienced. The recent cloudburst in that locality swept thousands of tons Of mud into the river at that place and the result ia now that steamers have all kinds of difficulty in getting through The Selkirk carried only 125 tons Of freight. but supt. Wheeler says that from TOW on only 100 tons will be loaded on the steamers and 150 tons on the bargrs. only about half their capacities when the water is good.
 There Is vet between 1900 and 1900 tons Of heavy machinery for the Canadian Klondike Mining Com pany to be taken from this place to Dawson and, while it certainly will be landed before the end of the sea- son. it will necessarily be handled in small cargoes.
 The water at this end Of the river is yet at fairly good stage.-white- horse Star.

WILSON LAKES UNIONS
 BUT WOULD IMPROVE THEM

Buffalo. Se"t. 9-Goyernor Wilson addressed the Labor Day meeting in this city yesterday afternoon, and in the evening he spoke to mass meeting of the citizens. There was splendid enthusiasm shown at both meetings, which burst forth fin cheers as the speaker made some telling point against the opposing political parties. He told the la bar organizations, which had parad- cd in a body, that they had cor stitutional right to organize and tha he was a believer in union labor. but realized how the body of wcrk- CTS were frequently imposed upon by selfish leaders and violent follow CTS. It was up to the laboring men to clear their policies of anything that had the nature of physical riot ing in their attempt to gain conces- sions from capital, but to stick to moral pursuasion and their cause would win.
 Mir. Wilson took a whack at the Progressive platform. and said that hc was personally against the mini mum wage scale provided for in the Roosevelt declaration Of political principles. He said that the mini mum wage scale would be used by the employers as an argument for holding down wages to the point fixed by law. He did not believe that the workers could be benefit ed by any such means, but that the big concerns, and even the govern meut would have the laborers at their mercy by applying the wage law. in case the workers found it advisable to ask for an increased pay above that which was fixed by the courts.
