scribed in official dispatches received

London, June 2S: The militant
suffragettes inaugurated to-day
campaign Of destruction in the post
offices throughout the country. Some
of the branch offices here were raided
and offices at Letchworth and Hit
chin were visited. The windows In the
main office at Manchester were smash
ed and the Manchester Reform Club
visited. A number Of women arrest
ed after these occurrences announced
at the police station, that their action
was the beginning Of plan to smash
the windows of every office In Eng
land. Prime Minister Asquith was
subjected to another assault last even
ing while he was attending a recep-
tion given by Lady Glenconner. A
woman, whose identity has not yet

gle was so violent that a sleeve was

- Washington, June 80: The dead
lock in the Baltimore convention
threatens to continue the embarrass-
ment Of the executive departments OF
the government, due to the failure OF
congress to pass the necessary appro-
priation bills for the new fiscal year,
which begins tomorrow. When the
house meets at noon tomorrow 1t is
not likely that quorum will be pres
ent, and unless unanimous consent is
given for the passage of the Fitz-
gerald resolution continuing last years
appropriations during July. the gov
ernment will have to struggle along
without funds until the Democrats
nominate a candidate for president
and permit the absent statesmen to
return to their seats in Washington.
Legal authorities hold that If con-
gress passes the necessary resolution
the government departments may op-
crate without violation Of law. Heads
of the executive department have de-
cided to continue operations tomor-
row on the promise Of the leaders that
the resolution will be passed. If not
passed some Of the machinery Of the
Monday; all Of 1t might stop. The
mails might even be held up. With
conventions out of the way, congress
will begin a steady grind to transact
the business which has been waiting
in the senate. The appropriation bill
will be taken up first.
Baltimore, June 80: Six days OF
conventioning has just about exhaust
ed the holiday spirit Of the occasion
and today a general exodus OF con-
vention visitors, rooters, marching
clubs g even delegates took place.
The e: rusiastic visitors who last
Tuesday and Wednesday were having
a perfectly lovely" time disbursing
their spending money and talking pol
itics settled down alphabetically to the
routine of the deadlock or hurried
homeward with depleted purses. Tele-
graph offices were in great demand
today, and many of the messages were
of the same general trend. They were
addressed to wives and mothers and
brothers and friends and each con-
cluded don't forget to remit" For
most of the rooters and delegates had
come to Baltimore equipped financial
ly for a stay that would end at the
latest Friday evening. The ready
money which went so freely on Tues
desirable consideration on Saturday
and Sunday and the immaculate nap
cry and shining silver of the conven-
ton hotels-at convention prices
were largely deserted for the hurried
service Of the diary lunch rooms. The
big crowd Of Tammany ShouterS that
accompanied the New York delega-
ton were out last night and today
had taken its way back to dear old
Broadway. The boosters around the
various headquarters dwindled away.
The gentle touch" was in evidence
all along the line. and many an al
ternate who has been frugal of his
resources will move up into the dele
gates section tomorrow to take the
place of a home-speeding principal.
The trick by which Thomas For
tune Ryan, the well-known Wall street
operator got into the national conven-
tion has been made known. Ryan is
New Yorker; but was originally from
Virginia, where he owns several con-
gressmen, including Henry Delaware
Flood, representative from the Tenth
Virginia district. There was a fight
between the machine controlled by
Flood, and it's opponents led by Henry
st. George Tucker for the delegation
from the Tenth Virginia district.
Floods crowd was FOR Clark and Tuck
er's crowd was for Wilson. Before the
proceedings came to the election of
delegates it developed that Floods
crowd claimed a majority Of sixteen.
The Tucker crowd conceded a major
ity of six and recognized that Flood
could do as he pleased. The Tucker
crowd was therefore greatly astounded
when lin the interest Of harmony"
it was proposed by Flood that each
side named a delegate. OF course,
the Tucker crowd agreed at once be-
cause it gave them a Wilson man
where otherwise they could have got
ten nothing. The Flood crowd simply
said they would take "Mr. Ryan,"
without indicating what Ryan and the
Tucker crowd not dreaming that
Thomas Fortune Ryan of New York
could be thinking Of trying to go to
the convention on a Virginia delega-
ton, agreed. 1t was not until
afterward that the true nature Of the
scheme became apparent: Thomas
Fortune Ryan having decided that he
could do more in the futherance of his
ends as a member of the convention
than otherwise had slipped in. 1t was
evident that he would be able to ex-
ercise a very considerable influence
with the delegates. Mr.. Bryan was
told Of the whole situation and that
