LONDON, Oct. 6 (Special.) That the
American consular service fully lives up
to ita reputation for Inefficiency ! tha
conclusion of Dr. Richard Davenport Mar
Ian, former president of Lake Forest uni
versity, Illinois, and eldest eon of JustU-
Harlan of the United States supreme
court. He has been making a tour f
England and France In the Intercuts of
the George . Washington university tnd
has Interviewed hundreds of business men,
both American and foreign, who al.nost
without exception have roaated the United
States consular service to a brown crisp.
Typical of many who talked to Dr. Har
lan, an American-born building contractor,
one of the largest In His line, who does
business . In almost every largo country
In Europe, though asking that his name
bo withheld, declared that sad experience
had taught him that it was only a waste
of time to deal with an American con
sular office. So certain had lie becomj
of this that he now practically Ignored
the representatives of the United State,
and whenever bo had need of the service
of a consul he repaired to the office of the
British agent, ' his company being regis
tered under the laws of Great Britain.
The same man declnred that for patriotic
reasons he would , rather deal with the
representative of his native country, but
found It Impossible to do so.
Purpose of Dr. Harlan's Toar.
The prime purpose of Dr. Harlan's tour,
which has Just been completed, was an
examination of the great Ecole des Sciences
Politique In Paris ahd the London School
of Economics and Political Science, it is
the Intention of the directors of the George
Washington university to model that In
stitution after these two famous schools
and Dr. Harlan, as the representative of
the movement In the United States, lias
been having a look around.'- He hat been
studying the features that are likeiy 10
appeal to the American needs. Just before
he sailed or Canada, where he will visit
lis father at Murray Bay. Dr. Harlan
' granted rriea ry full talk on tha move
ityitt In the Unltnd States and on what he
;ij seen in iriuci ana AusiwMb
npeaklng of the Pans school he said:
"Tha story of the foundation .and growth
of the Boole des Sciences Politique makes
one of the brightest pages In recent French
history. At the close of the fYanoo-Prussian
war the one thought uppermost In
the minds of every Intelligent patrlotto
Frenohman was, -'What can be done to
lift our country out of the dust and make
a new France?'
"It came into the heart of Emit BouUny
tht the 'beet way for htm to help his
country was to found a school where her
sons might acquire a better knowledge of
the nations of the world (France Included),
of diplomacy, history, social questions and
the political sciences.' With this end In
view, Boutmy founded the Kcol des
Sciences Politique In 1871 and gave gen
erously of his means and all his energies
and time to Its upbuilding.
.-Many I as tractors Eaa ale-red.
"The aucoess of this school was Instan
taneous. It now employs fifty professors
and Instructors and has 1,000 students. Bo
important haa been Ita service to Prance,
that during the last ten years all t the
appointee to the French foreign service,
whether diplomatlo or consular, with only
three exceptions, have been graduates of
this school.
"Its diploma not only helps to open tha
doors to the publlo service, but haa en
abled Ita graduates to carry off many of
tha richest prises in large commercial en
terprises In France, and Emil Boutmy's
name will always be remembered as one
of the benefactors of modern France.
"The growth of the London School of
Economics has been even more rapid than
that of the Parts school. It waa founded
in 1S3J and within on year, had to move
to larger quarter In 1X, when the Unt
varsity at London was remodeled, the Len
ton School of Economic was admitted as
a school of the university and once more
It outgrew It premises.
"The present building In Clara Market

enrollment was Immediately doubled. In

grown In number, reaching a total of 1,635

' "Like the Parts school, tha London
school of F'Conomlc Is Independent of gov
ernment control, although it now receives
government subsidy of from 1,(00 to 1,000
pounds per year, because of Its services
to the state. For example:

"It now receives each session 400 stu

SPRINGFIELD, Mass., Oct. I. Two turb
ulent conventions In session here today"
at the same time In the same hall each
nominating a set of candidates for the
Ktate offices, represented a situation hith
erto unknown In democratic politics In this
state. The trouble was over the question
of credentials, the hltney men claiming
that the state committee had refused to
recognize delegates duly elected at the pri
maries. The storm broke when the chair
man of the state committee, who called
the convention to order, declared a Bartlett
man, the choice for temporary chairman.
Amid the greatest confusion each crowd
nominated a full state ticket and adopted
a platform.
After the convention Mr. Thayer an
nounced that he would not accept the
nomination for the lieutenant governor
ship on the Bartlett ticket.
Immediately after being called to order
today, the democratic state convention re
solved 'itself Into two bodies, supporters of
Bartlett for governor comprising one sec-
tlon, and adherents of Henry M. Whitney
the other. The Bartlett men held the stage.
while the Whitney men were asembled In
the rear of the hall. At a session whfch
lasted until 3 o'clock this morning the state
committee, by a close vote, named D. J.
Klley, a Bartlett man, for temporary chair
man and eOorge Fred Williams for chair
man of the committee one resolutions.
There were few Whitney delegates In the
Court theater when Chairman Doty of
the state committee called the convention
to 'order. A special detail of twenty po
licemen had been stationed In front of the
platform, with orders to permit no one from
the auditorium to go npon the platform
without 'the permission of the chairman.
Chairman Feeney of the state committee
called the convention to order. Daniel J.
Klley was nominated for temporary chair
man. At the same moment a motion was
heard to substitute the name of Joseph
A. Conroy, a Whitney supporter. The Klley
motion was declared carried.
Two Congressmen Clash.
-During h enrtlhg-turmoil ex-Congress
man Conroy, who occupied a box beside
th stage, arose and attempted to act aa
presiding officer.. The-conruslon was so
great, however, that Mr. Conroy left, the
box to go to the resr of the hall, toward
which th Whitney delegates were moving.
On! the way he came in contact with Con
gressman O'Connell, brother Of Daniel
O'Connell, one of the Bartlett manager.
There was a clash, but th police pre
vented blows.
Th Bartlett delegate - appointed com
mittees, and a motion that a committee to
draw up the state ticket be named was
carried by acclamation.
At this point Temporary Chairman Klley
shouted to the police officers to keep order
In the rear of the' hall, where the Whitney
men were asembled. This waa greeted
with cheers for Whitney from the rear,
which were answered by three cheer for
Bartlett from the front.
The Bartlett convention declared a re
cess to expedite committee ork.
Whitney Partisan Clash. '
Th Whitney gathering placed Henry
M. Whitney In nomination for governor
by acclamation and the rest of their ticket
was named in the same way.
A platform condemning the Dlngley
tariff and advocating unrestricted trad
with Canada and reciprocity was adopted.
When the Bartlett convention came to
gether again, Mr. Klley appealed to rhe
police to silence the Whitney men and
Anally demanded that they be placed un
der arrest, but this was not done.
George Fred Williams read a platform
and It waa adopted by acolamatlon. The
platform expressed opposition to private
monopolies, condemnation o f'unlawful
rebates and discrimination" by railroads
and of the attempt of th New York
New Haven Hartford railroad of Con
necticut to "obtain sol and absoluta
sway over the transportation of New
England," and declared that tax laws
should "no longer be perverted to private
uses, but restored to the single purpose
of raising revenue for the public needs.'
Bartlett Hooted Dasi,
General Charles W. Bartlett wa unan
imously nominated for governor and John
A. Thayer for lieutenant governor. The
state committee was authorised ta com
plete the ticket.
A committee of the Bartlett delegates
to bring their candidate before the con
vention returned with General Bartlett.
Hla appearance caused the uproar to in
crease. When there wa a momenta.-y
lull. Chairman Klley attempted to intro
duce him. Hie words were drowned in
an outburst by Whitney delegates. After
a long wait General Bartlett tried to
addreaa th convention, but hardly a word
wa audible. He abandoned hlj effort.
and after a time the state committer re
ported nomination for the remaining
offices, which were ratified.
Later the Whitney delegates reassem
bled and voted that all credentials bs
formally demanded of the state commit
tee. The Whitney delegates then with
drew and the Bartlett convention was
formally adjourned. The question which
ticket shall be placed upon tha official
ballot will propably go to th courts.

MUCH INTEREST IN TRIAL
Murder Case at Denlson, la.. Involves
Aet
f Two
Peddlers.
Syrlnn
DENIBON. Is., " Oct. 6. (Speclal.)-The
trial of the Hasson brothers for the mur
der of their cousin Nawfl reached a climax
of Interest today, when tho defendants
were put on the stand in their own de
fense. The murder occurred on the night
of January 6, last. The defendants state
that they and Nawfl, who was their cousin
were at Omaha buying goods between
Christmas and New Tears days, and that
on the Tuesday previous to the murder
they came to Panama to the house of a
friends, where esch put goods In their
respective wagons and started northward
peddling gnodr. There was an arrange
ment that alt should meet In Denlson on
the following Saturday. Joseph, who was
the leader of the group, says he made
but one stop between Panama, which Is
in Shelby county on the Milwaukee until
he reached Denlson and then went on
north some twelve miles, reaching the home
of a man named Johnson, where he ex
pected to put up. He put up his two-horse
peddler outfit and In the afternoon bor
rowed a light two-horse wagon from John
son and drove to Denlson to meet Nawfl
and his brother. Joe and Nawfl were
about trwn together from 4 o'clock on and
about 7 the younger brother Bolomon came
down from Ells by rail a small station
on the Illinois Central, ten miles north of
here. Joe claims that lie and Nawfl were
with a woman of 111 repute until 10:30,
while the younger brother Solomnn re
mained about the depot looking after the
horses. Joe claims that he and his brother
then got In the buggy and drove back to
Johnson's, arriving there at about 1:30 In
the morning, leaving Nawfl still In Denl
son. They went to bed with their clothes
on. The next morning they rearranged
their goods and went on peddling until
arrested. Itwas finding blood on the light
wagon which first made people think the
Hasson brothers were guilty of the murder.
Joe had blood on his coat when arrested,
blood which the expert from tho state uni
versity said was human blood. He ac
counted for that by saying he had the nose
bleed, but could not tell the time or place
when he had it. He had accounts of the
dead man In his possession, accounting:
for this on the ground that Nawfl gave
them to him, although he said he never
collected for him. The fact of the blood
on the buggy, on the seat and on a club
said to have been In the possession of the
defendants, and their contradictory state
ments at the time of their arreat, will go
far to disprove their claims of Innocence.
The case will not close this week.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 5. (Special Tel.'.
gram.) The resignation of Judge Wy'k
ersham from th Alaska bench g.tve Sen
ator Burkett a suggestion which, It Is be
lieved, he took advantage of by suggest
ing to the president before he left on
his trip down the Mississippi ami to At
torney General Bonaparte the rme of
W. B. Rose of Lincoln, ex-chairman of
tho republican state central committee,
for the vacancy.
Just how far the department went with
the suggestion of Senator Burkett Is not
known except that the suggestion was
entertained with considerable favor; and
Just ho wfar Senator Burkett went with
Mr. Rose cannot bo ascertained, as the
senator declines to discuss tho question.
It is, however, learned that th presfdrnt
looked upon Mr. Burkett's presentation of
Mr. Rose' name for the Wyckershum
succession with favor, and that the at
torney general also believed there waa
mi rlt In the movement to send to Alaska
some well-known lawyer wholly dlsimo
clated with the factions In Alaska , and
who ould make an upright and Just Judge.
With Mr. Rose in Alaska-the successor to
Elmer Stephenson would e asy of solution,
as well as th district attorneyship. Sen
ator Burkett saw In the resignation oi"
prestige and place to a stalwart republican
from his state and an efficient lawyer, and
It Is rumored that one of the very first
things th mnlnr senator from Nebraska.
took up with the president on his arrival In
Washlngton was a place for Mr. Rose.
How far and to what extent Mr. Burkett
went along the lines mapped out is not
known, but It is believed he put It up to
m, .ht .h .i.inn w.. his tf he
decided to take it.
With Mr. Rose provided for upon the
district bench of Alaska st a comfortable
salary the collect oi ship mould undoubtedly
go to Ross Hammond of Fremont, while the
district attorneyship would remain In
Omaha, as now. Just what will happen If
Mr. Rose should decline. In the event that
he has been asked to consider the matter,
Is another story.
In this connection It may not be out of
place to say that the president has shown
a disposition to help Senator Burkett where-
ever possible and with existing political
conditions In Nebraska placed before him
. ... . . ,, . . 1
In the right light. It Is believed the Presl-.
dent saw a way to help a friend and at
the same time put an end to the dissensions
in the senate which have kept Judge Wick

The carnival ended at that' moment be

when Father Time sit down by the way

which have always been in dispute.
The board of governors, like weary con

Upon the brow of the king the crown will
rest lightly for a whole year. The diadem
of the queen will give her distinction for
a twelve-month at least.
Faithful sptclal policemen will clamor for
their salary; concession men will pull dowa

- Thus Kndeth It All.
Thus did end the festivities on the car
nival grounds, after the earth had been
tracked full of confetti and the cobble
stonos made soft with the remain of
feather duster.
On the theory that the "king I dead,
long live th king," all talk will now turn
to the festivities of next year. A littl
better each time, has been the slogan ot
the kings of Ak-Sar-Ben, and the progress
of mechanic and fine arts have made thig
possible up to .the thirteenth year of th
reign of Ak-Sur-Ben. the good. There 10
no talk of a change In th cabinet w filch
would rob Samson, lord high chamberlain,
of his position. HI position 1 held by
civil service examination, and he I not
appointed as a . result of log-rolling cam
paigns nor through the Influence of pot
house politicians. Samson will sign the
official proclamations again.
Country people who have attended the
festivities have gone away satisfied th
three big parades were show of them
selves and the faet that Omaha give a
dollar's worth for every dollar, or give
every dollar back, has been proclaimed over
four states.
FILIAL DEVOTION PERSONIFIED

Several men and women hastening to the
caatle of the King of Ak-Sar-Ben Friday
night to pay homage to their majesties
were delayed by the crowded condition of
car at Twentieth and Dodge streets. At
that corner tin re was considerable con
gestion until after the cars began to mov
from the Harney street line to the den.
During the time of the greatest crush, a
young woman and her mother were trying '
to get on one of the cars. The car tui
crowded until th conductor refused to per
mit any other person to hang to the buck
platform, and this young woman and her
mother were kfl standing with other oil
' the' street. The young woman turned to
her mother and remarked in tones audible1
to all:
"It waa all your fault; you never will
learn how to handle yourself In a crowd.
Now we are left and w never will get a
eat. Com down to Nineteenth street
right away and maybe then we can get on
car."
The mother demurred in an inaudible ton
and the daughter continued:
"Are you coming? Well, I'll make you
come." With that she grabbed her mother
by the arm and hustled her east on Dodg
street.
One elderly woman commented: "I'm
glad all of my children are son and that
I have no daughter like that."
Those who watched th incident war
pleased to not that a car came from the
Harney street line In time to prevent tha
