PROVIDENCE, R. 1, March 10.—Two hundred and twenty representatives of the Democratic party in Rhode Island | essembled in this city to-day to name eight delegates to the National Con- Yention at St. Louis. ‘This was not only the first State Democratic gath- eting to choose delegates to take part in tho nomiyation of a Presiden-| tlal candidate in the 19% campaign, but ‘was of interest also because of a struggle which had developed two wigs of the party over the que fdon of instructing the men chosen to-day, whom to support as Presiden- tial nominees. One faction, headed by George W. Greene, member of the National Com- mittee, and John J. Fitzgerald, of Paw- tucket, leader of his party in the Rhode Island House of Representatives, de- manded that the national delegates be Instructed to favor William R, Hearst, of New York. The other wing was the regular State organization, Patrick Henry Quinn, of Warwick, chairman, opposed an in- structed delegation. Chairman Quinn ‘was supported by Col. Samuel R. Honey, of Newport, leader in the Cleveland ¢ampaign. The majority of the delegates from Providence, Westerly, Pawtucket, Won- wocket and the smaller towns in the Blackstone Valley were adherents of Messrs. Greene and Fitzgerald, while the supporters of the regular organiza- ton came from Newport and the bulk of the country towns, In past conventions these smaller towns have held the pbalaace of power, ‘fhe convention was hot from start to finish. ‘The ballot for delegates resulted in the election of five of the Fitzgerald- Greene ‘delegates and three of the Quinn-Honey party. The delegates ‘Were not instructed, but Fitzgerald for- mally announced that he favored the nominatjon of William R. Hearat for President. —=_— r CELTIC PASSES NANTUCKET. ‘Phe White Star line steamer Celtic, Liverpool and Queenstown for Hew, York, is reported by, wirloss tele- peau Nantucket Sia St about oA Mh baat probably to-morrow, jentered the home of David Gratadie, | chier clerk of the Fire Department, at been robbed.

LONDON, March 10,—Dees the long continued absence of news concerning the Viadivostok fieet indicate that Russia has planned a coup — that will astonish the world? This is the question that English experts” are asking, and some of them are disposed to answer it in the affirmative. ” No authentic news of the Vladivostok fleet has been received since’ Feb. 29. On that date the four fine ships comprising this division of the Russian Navy are believed: to paye steamed out of Vladivostok Harbor. and set a course dawn the Sea of Japan. The war experts figure that there Is a possibility that the commarider of the fieet has succeeded in bringing it to within striking distance of Port arthur with the intention of attacking and destroying the transports carry ing Japanese troops to Corea ‘and Manchuria. Finally the news from Russian sources that the Retzivan and other ‘Russian warships which were injured have been repaired leadts to the ae that the Vladivostok vessels may be waiting the right moment hen a Japanese attack upon Port Arthur would enable them to come a on the flank of the attacking vessels and aid in allowing the vessels in, Port Arthur to steam out to the open sea in the resulting confusion.
