TIE seven battleships of the third

revolution, have been ordered home. To-
day the fleet weighed anchor at Guam
tanamo and Havana to sail for New
port, r. 1. The Navy Department is
advised that the Cuban revolution Is
fiickering out, and the presence of the
battleships is held to have been a con-
siderable cause of it's non-success.
But as precautionary measure
against further trouble the department
has ordered the 1000 marines to remain
at Guantanamo. Four gunboats and the
cruiser Prairie will be in the harbor
to transport them wherever their serv-
ices may be needed.
The ships ordered home are the Ne
braska, Mississippi Missouri, and Ohio,
which have been at Guantanamo; the
Rhode Island and the Washington at
Havana, and the New Jersey and the
Georgia at Key West. The Georgia and
the New Jersey will stay a day or two
before sailing because a courtmartial
is in progress.
These ships will rendezvous with

Bethlehem's Mother
Of Pearl Industry

The chief industry today Of the town
Of Bethlehem, in Palestine, is the manu-
featuring of articles of religious devo-
Ion and ornaments from mother-of-
pearl, writes Vive Consul Lewis Heck
FROM Jerusalem. The methods and tools
used used are mostly quite primitive
in character, as are also the buildings
in which the workmen carry on their
trade. The principal products are carv-
ed shclls on which religious scenes are
depicted, beads ard rosaries.
Tie material known as pearl waste,
from which the two latter products are
made. is very largely imported from
the United States, and the American
market also IS the largest purchaser OF
these goods. The large carved shells
are solo mostly to tourists in Jerusalem
and Bethlehem, and since the demand
for them is not so good as for beads
and q higher grade of workmanshtp is
required tn produce them. this side "t
the industry is losing ground to the

Used in 1908.

BALTIMORE. June 30-william Jen-
New York Staatz-Zeitung and treasurer
of the Democratic national committee,
INDUCED in a war of words on the plat
form after Bryan informed the conven-
ton in the afternoon that he would op-
pose any candidate for whom the New
York delegation cast It's vote. Mr.. Rid
der was sitting on the platform when
Bryan delivered this declaration. The
Indignation he felt was made apparent
by the roseate hue of his face.
The New Yorker could hardly wait for
the Nebraskan to finish his remarks.
When he did Mr.. Ridder jumped up
from his seat. In front of the thou
sands Of spectators Mr.. Ridder was seen
shaking his finger in Bryan's face.
What right have you got to make
that declaration against New York;"
said Mr.. Ridder heatedly. Didn't you
accept the support of Tammany in your
last Presidential campaign? You know
as well as / do that one of the checks
which Tammany Hall contributed to the
national committee was for $4,000. and
furthermore, 1t was signed by Mr.. Mhr-
ply. If we were good enough then to
help finance your campaign. why are we
not good enough now to support any
Democratic Presidential candidate which
the convention may select?"
Bryan seemed to be amused by the
New Workers. outburst of wrath. Wher
Mr.. Ridder finished his TRADE the for,
mer candidate indefinitely replied:
Mr.. Ridder, will answer your ques
| ton If you will publicly answer twenty
questions which l may want to ash
you"
We have heard enough Of your ora
tory in this convention" Mr.. Riddel
said, until we have grown sick anC

| don't have to, but I simply want yol
| to understand that there was a time
when you gladly accepted the financia
assistance of Tammany Hall"
After firing this parting shot, Mr.. Rid

walked away.
"Bryan's audacity," said Mr.. Ridder
| in discussing the incident afterward
rs one of the remarkable features o
the convention. When he himself is ii
a glass house, ! can't imagine wha
right or justification he has in attack

floor who is receiving the support o

Former Senator From Montana
Says This Is to Be Their
Year at Polls.

CHICAGO, June 3o.-"This is the year
for Democratic victory in the nation,
no matter who may be the party nomi-
nee at Baltimore" said William A
Clark, copper magnate, multi-million-
aire, and former United States Sena-
tor from Montana. who is on a flying
visit to Chicago today.
Il have no special candidate for the
Democratic nomination." he said. Per
sonally l think that all the candidates
before the convention at Baltimore are
representative of the Democratic spirit.
Either Clark, Underwood, Kern, or
Harmon would suit me-"
How about Bryan?"
There does not seem to be a feeling
that he is a candidate, but If he is
nominated he will be elected to the
Presidency. Any Democrat nominated
this year is sure to win. I am inclined
to think that the nominee will be a
dark horse"
