TOGO'S OLD SHIP WRECKED
The Naniwa Is the Cruiser Which Be-
gan tho War With China.

The cruiser Naniwa, which was re-
Gently wrecked off the Kurila islands, in
the north Pacific, was the flagship of
Admiral Togo in the Chinese-Japanese
war Of 1894.
The Naniwa is cruiser of 1850 tons
and was in 1894 the flagship of the
first flying squadron of the japanese
navy. a shot from the vessel started
the Chinese-Japanese war.
The Kowshing, transport flying the
British flag, with British captain and
crew and carrying LOO Chinese sol
diers, was overtaken by Togo in the
Naniwa. He brought the transport to
a stop by firing two blank cartridges.
Togo then sent a lieutenant aboard the
KOwshing, demanding that the trans
port turn about and steam back with
the Naniwa to the japanese feet The
captain Of the Kowshing agreed to do
this, but his British officers and the
Chinese soldiers mutinied. After four
hours delay Togo opened fire and sank
the transport. This began the war
with China, throughout which the Ma
niwa was Togo's flagship. 1t was heav-
ily pounded by Chinese guns in various
engagements, but suffered no vital
damage.

In cleaning the Baltimore armory, in
which the Democratic national conven-
ton met all kinds of articles, including
bottles of every description, were
found. A package of ten pounds of
sugar and half n dozen water glasses
were left under one delegates chair.
Hundreds of unclaimed articles are at
police headquarters, but many pieces
of jewelry, including half a dozen dia-
mond brooches, have been restored to
the owners.
Other articles awaiting claimants
range from hatpins, tobacco pouches
and a small mirror to a pound package
of tartaric acid. A gold hunting case
watch, with \ silk fob and locket, has
been identified and delivered to j. j.
McGovern, a justice of the peace at
Brldgeton, N. ]. Four straw hats, two
panama hats, two mileage books and
one cuff button with a diamond chip
are in the possession of the police, but
five of the twenty umbrellas found In
the hall have already been returned to
their owners.
Little money was found in the hall
or, at any rate, was turned over to the
police. The total amount Of cash re-
ported as found being only S5.95, most
OF which was picked up in small
change In different sections of the ar.
mory.

No Selection of National
Chairman Is Made.
DAUGHtRTY MOST TALKED OF.
Believed That Ohio Man or Charles D.
Hilles, Private Secretary to Presi-
dent, Will Be choice-All Think
That Taft Has g Fight
ing Chance.

Washington, July a-After confer
ences extending over an entire day the
subcommittee of nine of the Repub.
lican national committee quit without
having made any selection for chair.
'lnn of the national committee. AS a
result of the days conference the drift
has been decidedly toward Charles n
HES. the presidents private secre.
tary. and Harry NJ. Daugherty, who
has bean prominent in Ohio politics for
several Years
William Barnes, Jr. who has been
favorably considered for the place, has
practically been eliminated. The ma.
uonal committee We're almost unani-
nous in the opinion that Mr.. Barnes is
the best equipped man for the place
but the fear was expressed that his Sc
lection would lead to the immediate
Juggling of the Barnes issue into the
Taft campaign.
The members of the subcommittee
who We're instructed by the national
committee To confer with the president
in regard to the permanent organiza
tion of the latter committee found Mr.
Tafts mind absolutely open on the
craftsmanship. This was disappointing
to some members of the committee.
The president insisted on having the
views of the committeeman and upon
giving his own opinions in regard to
several candidates. The result was
that the committeeman ended their
days laborS without any candidate
bearing the Taft tag. The president
now that he has obtained a full expires.
sion of views from the committeeman
will indicate his choice more definitely
late today.
Think Taft Has Chance.
The most notable thing about the
craftsmanship situation is that five or
six candidates really want the job.
Mr.. Barnes of New York would like to
have it. So would Mr.. Daugherty of
Ohio. The fact was taken to indicate
that the political wisacres think that
Taft at least has a good fighting chance.
There was a surprising cheerfulness
among these committeeman over the
nomination OF Woodrow Wilson by the
nouncement of the call for the third
party.
The subcommittee consists of Gen.
eral Powell Clayton of Arkansas, chair
man: Alva II. Martin of Virginia, Sec
retary; Roy o. West of Illinois, John ].
Adams of Iowa, Charles B. Warren Of
Michigan, Thomas A. Neidringhaus of
Missouri, f. w. Estabrook of New
Hampshire, Sewell Sanders, United
States senator from Tennessee, and
Samuel A. Perkins of Washington
All the members except Mr.. Perkins
were present. Mr. Estabrook, after the
White House conference, was desig-
mated to speak for the committee. He
said:
I'VE agreed not to mention any
names for publication. There were
eight or ten names mentioned and con-
sidered, representing various sections
Of the country. There was no recon-
mendation in favor Of any man for

Chosen by His Own Vote.

1t Is said, but this is not vouched for,
that when Mr.. Cleveland heard of the
"break" he sent word to his running
mate that as he had drawn the At
lantic ashore he hoped he would be
able to land the necessary votes to
elect the ticket.
AS there is already some talk about
certain electors casting their votes for
a candidate who was not nominated,
1t is interesting to recall that one pres
ident was chosen by his own vote. At
the time of the election the elder
Adams was member of the electoral
college. One of the electors had been
chosen by popular vote. He was
Federalist, instructed for Adams. He
voted for Jefferson and Pinckney. Mr..
Adams, as vice president, presiding
over the senate, opened the certificates
of the electoral count and declared him
self president.
Third parties in presidential years
have been common, but it is not re
corded that any ever won out. The
first third party known in our politics
was the QuldS. 1t came IN Slgnt In
1S0+1S0S John Randolph was the head
of it. He turned against Jefferson be-
cause, as he asserted, jefferson was
