REVOLUTION Is FEARED

NEW ORLEANS. June l1.-BuSlneSs
and political conditions in Nicaragus
are becoming so serious that an up
heaval is threatened, according to mall
advices received here. In New Orleans
the belief is general in the Central
American colony that a revolution Will
break out IN Nicaragua within the next
six or eight weeks.
Emiliano Chamorra, the conservative
leader, is said to have broken on rela-
lions again with Gen. Litis Mena- min
lister of war, and together with a num-
Der Of his followers has gone to Hon.
duras. Chamorra's action IN leaving
for Honduras Is believed to mean an
early fight between the two wings Of
the conservative party for control OF
the government.
For the first time in the history OF
the republic people are dying OF hun
ger in the interior. according to promi-
nent Nicaraguans- here. In the depart
ments of Chontales, Matagalpa and
Jinotega conditions are declared TO be
critical.

.GAYNOR AND FOSS ARE
GRO0MED BY DEMOCRATS
Dark Horse Talk Gains Lot of
Strength at Baltimore As
Leaders Gather

BALTIMORE, June 1.-Two dark
horses for the Democratic presidential
nomination were Informally discussed
here by national committeeman. The
talk conferred about Mayor Gaynor. OF
New York. and Gov. Eugene Foss. of
Massachusetts,. Whether the movement
in behalf OF Mayor Gaynor Is being en-
couraged by Charles F. Murphy, leader
OF Tammany hall could not be learned
here, but those directing the candidacy
OF Governor Wilson said they had been
informed that Leader Murphy was Of the
opinion that New York should make no
choice for president until after the Chi
cago convention.
The movement for Governor Foss was
launched by Frank Hendrick, of New
York, who said that the governors name
might not be taken up until the sec
ond ballot. Mr.. Hendricks said that Gov
ernor Foss' platform was the immediate
reduction Of the tariff and reciprocity
with Canada.
National Committeeman Sullivan. of IL
linois. said he had not heard that the
Illinois delegates were trying to secure
the vice presidency for Illinois. Mr.. Sui
livan remarked in the presence OF other
committeeman TO-DAY:
Illinois delegates will vote as a unit
to vote throughout the convention. We
are for Clark"
''Will you vote for Clark after the
first ballot?'
IT may be dead then, and I'm not go
ing to tell what we will do" answered
Mr.. Sullivan.
Secretary Woodrow received word that
some contests would be fled from Rhode
Island. The notification gave no de-
tails.

WILL APPLY GAG RULE
TO THOS. {. WATSON
Georgia Delegation VIII Give
No PIumS to the l'Red-
Headed Person.

Those politicians who were so ready
to compromise with Thomas E. Watson
prior to the recent state iconvention-in
the interest Of Harmony" and in order
that there might be no future embar-
rassment TO certain political States
will. 1t is said, sit down on the red
headed person at Baltimore good and
hard.
They feel that in permitting Watson
an opportunity to strut in the conven-
ton limelight and in allowing him to
go to the national convention as dele
gate-at-large is Sufficient compensation
for whatever part he may have played
in carrying Georgia for Underwood.
Proceeding on the idea that all debts
have been paid Watson and that they
have made the best OF most distaste-
full bargain, the politicians who con-
troIled the state convention and who
expect to continue in command at Bal
timore now propose to apply the gag
to their Thomson ally.
It is being whispered about among
the politicians that the skds have al
ready been fabricated for Watson and
that he will be put upon the toboggan
on the evening Of June "a, the day the
more.
At this first caucus OF the delegation
a resolution will be introduced which
will provide that no member shall make
a speech upon the floor of the conven-
ton unless a majority of the delegates.
in meeting assembled, vote their ap-
prevail.
Another slap at Watson will. it is
said, be administered by an effort to
name his most bitter political oppon-
ent. CONGRESSMAN William ]. Brantley,
Georgia representative on the platform
committee, a place which Watson is re-
ported to have demanded.
Thomas B. Fielder. of Atlanta, an
other political opponent of Watson,
will, it is said, be selected to second
the nomination of Mr.. Underwood.
No decision has yet been reached as
to Georgia's member upon the creden-
tails committee, but IT is believed that
a man enjoying Watson's enmity will
be chosen for this post.
One of the most persistent political
rumors is to the effect that the an
tagonisn of the leaders toward Watson
is not due so much to desire to take
him down a peg" as 1t is the result Of
suggestions from Senator Bankhead
and other Underwood generals that If
too much latitude is accorded Watson
at Baltimore the chances Of Under
wood landing the delegations from New
York and Indiana will be greatly jeo-
pardized.
At any rate the program now in
process Of preparation contemplates
the gagging OF Watson and the bestow-
al of all special honors upon men who
are known to be in his disfavor.
Some real fireworks are promised at
the first caucus OF the delegation in
Baltimore.

CHINESE EAGER TO TAKE
UP SPECIAL STUDIES

ANN ARBOR, Mich, June H.
From letters OF inquiry which have
been received by the university Il il
evident that prospects for large
attendance OF Chinese students az the
summer session are very good. There
are almost thousand Chinese stu
dents in the various American COL
leges and universities, and apparently
large numbers OF them desire to take
some special work during the summe<
months.
During the past few weeks numer-
Gus letters from Chinese have been
arriving daily, all making inquiry as
to the courses TO be taught during
the summer session. which will open
July /. During the summer Chinese
students in American universities will
hold big celebration here in honor
Of the newly formed Chinese republic.
and this doubtless accounts for the
desire or many Chinese TO locate here
during the summer. At present there
arc a number OF Chinese students in
the university.
