On Aug. 7 last a party of priests of St. Boniface college, Winnipeg, ac- companied by Judge Prudhomme, dis- “We strongly commend the plat- form adopted at Denver and we be- Heve that it sets forth principles of progressive Democracy. “In the face of the great extrav- agance of the present Republican ad- ministration and of its plain disregard of the best interests of the people we see on every side evidence of Demo- cratic harmony and we call upon the ivoters of the state of New York, re- 'gardless of party, to rally to the sup- port of Bryan and Kern and take part in carrying the ticket to victory this fall.” TO COVER WHOLE COUNTRY Democratic Committee Well Supplied With Speakers.

Every speaker that has been sent out has been a volun- Iteer in the cause and ready to pay his own campaign expenses.

IN SYMPATHY WITH AMERICAN SAILORS New Zealanders Threaten Patrol Rounding Up Jackies. Auckland, N. Z, Aug. 1 .—The American battleships under the com- mand of Rear Admiral Sperry have left here for Sydney, N. S. W., where they are due Aug. 20 and will remain for a week. The American sailors have won the unstinted praise of the people of Auck- land for their behavior during the stay of the fleet. Thousands of men have been ashore day after day and there has been no disturbance of the peace. There was, however, an inci- dent which showed the sympathies of the Auckland people with the sailor men on shore. The patrol from the fleet was en- gaged in rounding stragglers and get- ting them back on board and a crowd was watching the operations. At one stage of the proceedings the people came to the conclusion that the patrol was handling some drunken sailors too roughly. They threatened the pa- trol, who were obliged to draw revol- vers. At this moment the local po- lice arrived, drove the crowd back and escorted the patrol and their prisoners to the wharf.

CONSULS NOT TO BLAME American Representatives Did Not Recommend That Port of Ceiba Be Surrendered, but Simply Transmit- ted te the Commandant of That Place a Letter From the Insurgents Containing Such a Demand. : New Orleans, Aug. 1.—The Pica- yune has the following from Puerto Cortez, Spanish Honduras: An amicable adjustment is in-sight for troubles that have ensued as a result of the cancellation some weeks ago by President Davila of the exe- quaturs of American consular agents at Ceiba, Spanish Honduras. It will probably be only a short while before Consul Drew Linard, Vice Consul Rey- nolds and Dr. Allen Jumel, who rep- resented the United States govern- ment at Ceiba, will be restored to their privileges and thus end an inci- dent that for a time promised to bring on international complications. President Davila has discharged the commandant who was at Ceiba at the time the rebels made their unsuccess- ful attack on the port and substituted another man in his place. The com- mandant who lost his position was the one who informed the president that the American consuls had asked that the town be surrendered, where- as the facts show that all they did was to transmit to the commandant a let- ter from the insurgents which con- tained such a demand. Active negotiations are on foot to straighten out the tangle and the American minister to Salvador is.now en route to Ceiba to assist in ‘the work. He is expected to arrive in about a week.

HEARD IN JAP CAPITAL Americans Intensely Indignant at Count Okuma’s Remarks. Tokio, Aug. 1).—Special dispatches from New York and London printed in Japanese newspapers represent that the recent utterance of Count Okuma, attributing the naval expansion policy of the United States to the sudden rise of Japan to the importance of a world poWer, is arousing intense in- dignation dnd has caused a complete recrudescence of anti-Japanese senti- ment throughout America. The New York newspapers are quoted as editorially urging an.Amer- ican-Chinese alliance for the purpose of offsetting the belligerency of the Japanese. One newspaper is quoted as giving the views of Wu Ting. Fang, the min- ister to the United States, on the sub-. Ject of an alliance, in which he threat- ens Japan with “an early evidence of. the real power of the American navy.” Americans residing in Tokio, Yoko- hama and elsewhere throughout Japan are extremely indignant. They be- leve that the special dispatches ex- aggerate the tone of the New York mnewspapers and it is felt that it is particularly unfortunate that at this time anything should be permitted to retard the increasingly friendly rela- tions of the two nations in view of the elaborate arrangements on foot among the Japanese to welcome the American fleet and the growing cor- diality exhibited on all sides toward Americans.
