1t is reported that the Speer faction
of the Colorado democrats will send
some OF their number to Baltimore to
secure the adoptian of a resolution call
ing upon Governor Shafroth to order an
extra session Of the legislature for the
election Of senator.
Some of the democratic papers have
recently been patting themselves on the
back and boasting that the dmocratic
party Is now united. The move to force
an extra session Of the legislature does
not ic3; yscy much like a surplus of
peace and harmony.

It begins to look IA though Uncle
Sam had concluded to abolish the office
of Receiver in his land offices. 1t is re
ported that Secretary Fishes has recon-
mended that no appropriation be made
by congress for the payment Of the sal
aries Of the land Office receivers which
means that the men occupying this of
flee will close their official relation with
the departm ent on July /.
This move seems to be justified on
the line Of economy and il may save
some expense but certainly not to the
amount Of the receivers salary for the
register now has all OF the work he can
handle and abolishing the office Of re-
ceiver will simply result in increasing
the office help to do the work now done
by the receiver.

Allen b. Parker seems to have the
lead for temporary chairman of the

cratic convention.

BIG NEBRASKA
RUNS AGROUND
Another BattIeship Then Breaks
Her Crank Shaft.
BOTH HAPPEN AT SAME TIME.
The Nebraska Is Badly Damaged
When She Strikes An I'm
chartered shoaI Near
Newport.
BOTH HAPPEN At SAME TIME.

Newport, r. l. The battleship
Nebraska was limped into Boston
badly disabled as a result of running
into an unchartered shoal four miles
west by south Of Point Judith Light.
The nature of her injury is not
definitely known as the usual reticence
OF naval officials, until their formal
report is made, is maintained.
The Connecticut, also the victim OF
an accident, came into harbor under
her port engines. The accident will
keep both ships out of further drills
for some time Although 1t was said
that the Nebraska remained in the
maneuvers for a short time following
her injury, it was decided to send her
to Boston for repairs.
Before she left the spot where she
grounded a diver was sent overheard
and reported that the Nebraska had
struck among group of boulders COW
ering an acre Of sea bottom, with only
20 feet of water over them. The dis
covery Of such shoal caused great
surprise in both shipping and naval
circles. The Nebraska was in COM
mand of Capt Spencer s. Wood.
Officers on board the flagship Con
necticut were reluctant to talk on the
accident to the Nebraska. When the
Connecticut, with Rear Admiral Hugo
Osterhaus, the feet commander, on
board, came into this harbor it was
said that her starboard crankshaft
was broken and she would have to go
either to New York or Philadelphia
for repairs, which would take several
weeks. The break occurred when the
Connecticut was going through
maneuvers at 15-knot speed, but it
was not discovered until after the ship
came to anchor. Then one of the ma
chinists detected the break. A board
of inquiry will examine into the causes
of both mishaIs.

were awakened by the terrific shock,
found themselves almost surrounded
by flames but managed to make their
way to safety.
The first explosion was followed by
others when the fire reached the cell
lars of the palace, where a great guam
tity. Of ammunition was stored. So
great was the force of the explosion
that number of small cannon, frag-
ments of iron and shells were thrown
for great distances in all directions.
Many palace attendants were killed
and it is estimated that the casualty
list will reach 400 persons killed or in
jured.
For a time great panic prevailed
and the military authorities imme-
diately took charge of the situation.
The explosion occurred shortly after
g o'clock in the morning, and within
an hour, when the fire, which was con-
fined to the palace, was extinguished,
the structure was mass of ruins,
from which it will be impossible to
recover the body of the president.
4 At joint meeting of the Chamber
and Senate Gen. Tancrede Auguste,
senator and ex-minister OF public
works, was named as president.
Cincinnatus Leconte was elected
unanimously by Congress president Of
Hayti on August IA last year.
He first gained prominence In
Haytian affairs in 1908, when, as
minister of the interior in the cabinet
of President Nord Alexis, he was
credited with ordering the summary
shooting Of 10 prominent revolution
aries at Port au Prince.
When the regime of Nord Alexis
was brought to an end shortly after

Jamaica. While there he intrigued
against the new president Simon, and
in January, 1911, started revolution

feated and Leconte took refuge in the
German Consulate at Cape Haytian.

German protection.
Leconte returned to Hayti in May
last year and succeeded in overthrow

He was mulatto. between 40 and
