an Umbrella Very Seriously, Ae- eordine to Reports.

Some time ago. there was what the news described as unrest in the West African colony of Lagos telegrams were dispatched between that country and Great Britain. governors and deputy governors were interviewed. and lt was with difficulty that a native war was averted. The cause of all this commotion was an umbrella
 Now, in our country, as we all know. an umbrella is looked upon as harm less posseSsion-but not so in West Africa. There, among most of the na- tive tribes, the umbrella is regarded as an emblem of royalty, and it's pos session Is strictly confined to the chief or king of the tribe.
 Therefore the indignation was in- tense on the part of one of these kings. when he found an inferior chief putting up an umbrella of his own. The king at once took 6 journey to Lagos. to lodge formal complaint of the chiefs reasonable conduct with the British governor.
 An African kings umbrella Is very elaborate affair. and It often costs large sums of money. Most of the umbrellas for Ashanti and the Gold coast are made of gigantic size. some Of them when open measuring ten feet across.
 The coverings of these umbrellas are of eolored sIlk-the brighter the better. with very deep frlnges. The largest umbrellas are carried over the heads of chiefs. by bearers while other bearers steady the umbrella by cords attached 10 the uppermost parts.
 One state umbrella had for its apex | silver eagle standing on two silver cannons. while another umbrella had . gold hen on the top. the hen being surrounded by numerous chickens. 10 represent the chief and his tribe.

 To spare themselves this expense operators put their capital instead into elaborate company towns, al-

New York.-The fight for the dem.
ocratic presidential nomination devel-
oped into resolute tug of war be-
tween the supporters of McAdoo and
Smith, with partisans of dozen fav-
orite sons looking on with an appar.
ent air of grim satisfaction over the
prospect.
When the national convention open.
ed the opposing forces of McAdoo and
Smith faced each other in solid pha-
lanx, each claiming victory, but each
straining every resource to consolidate
fits position. The managers of other
candidates were at work no less earn
estly to, build up a substantial backing
for their favorites, should their hopes
OF a prolonged deadlock be fulfilled.
The contest became struggle
matching in its intensity the most
celebrated in party history and with
the added modern qualities of feverish
haste and perfect organization. Dis
tributed everywhere, the missionaries
for Smith and McAdoo carried their
gospels into every nook and corner
where delegates were to be found.
Estimates of the number of ballots
which will be taken before an agree
ment is reached run all the way from
10 to So
Many of the best party prognostica'
tors believe it will take a half dozen
ballots, at least to show the conven-
ton candidates just where they stand.
Predictions of long deadlock are
mingled freely with the confident
claims of the McAdoo and Smith PEG,
pie that a nomination will come early
in the balloting.
The democratic national committee,
holding its final session before the
opening of the convention, completed
its convention organization by the for
nal election of temporary officers.

son of Mississippi as temporary chair
