the nomination had boen chosen; It left
a new milestone In tho paths of both
the Republican and Progressive
parties; It was the first Republican J
tonvrntion since ISStf which had been
'orcod to take more than one ballot to
igree upon a candidate and It has been
narked by a lack of riotous demonstra
tion and nervous enthusiasm which
hitherto lies been a feature of such
gatherings.
It did nut touch nny of the existing
records for sustaining demonstrations,
but despite the fact that In political
vernacular It was wholly nnd decided
'y "unbossed," It moved with a pre
"Islon and quietness which has not
Seen equaled since the McKluley con
vention In Philadelphia.
Three For Vice-President
John Wanamaker placed Fairbanks
In nomination. Nebraska sent Howard
II. Ealdrldge to nominate Senator
Elmer Ilurkett. Albert Abraham, of
i-ee-on, nominated William Brant
Webster,
The delegates considered the nomi
nation of Fairbanks so certain that
ifter giving their ballots to the heads
-f delegations thoy began piling out
of the ball and almost drowned out the
voting with the noise.
The official count gave Fairbanks
3, Burkett 108 and the others scat
'ered. On motion of Representative Cole,
of Ohio, the Fairbanks nomination then
was made unanimous.
The Day's Events.

the final action In both conventions
vore:
Announcement of the withdrawal of

Third session of the harmony con

posed the name of Hughes as their

Progressive Convention assembled
hurriedly, with most members clamor

Rooevelt.
Perkins halted precipitate action by
announcing the confert es' report to the
Progressives nnd at the name time
-oading Roosevelt's withdrawal fr.im
the race and his proposal that Lodce
he nomlna'ed as the compromise can
llda'e, which was greitcd with shouts
of "No, no!"
When the Republicans went ahead
ind It was obvious that Hughes would
win on the next ballot the Progressives

Washington. Antl-Amerlcnn demon

according to official advices, particular
y In the States of Chihuahua, San Luis
PotopI and Nuewo Leaon, and although
the manifestations thus far have been
confined mostly to speech-making con
tular agents have reported that the
temper of the people appears such that
ny eventuality might be possible.
Americans are leaving for the bord
In steadily Increasing numbers. Uni'-.r

ment agents In Mexico are giving
every possible aid. In addition border
agents have been Instructed to urge
those seeking to return to Mexico to
tay on the American side of the bor
der for the present.
While no overt act Is anticipated In
sny region under tho w oil-established
control of Carranza troops, there ap
pear to be areas where the do facto
government's bold over the people Is
not strong.
Speeches Stir Up Populace.
A massmeeting was held at Saltillo
at which many fpoeches relenting the
presence of American troops In Mex
ico were made. Similar meetings
have been held or are contemplated at
othor points. The only violence
against American property reported
was at Chihuahua City and Monterey,
where there are no consular agenta.
Statements from Americans reach
ing the border and also from consular
agents In MexJco have Indicated that
while General Carranza's forces were
trying to overawe the demonstrators
their control was not to be depended
on entirely la some districts.
No Fear For Expedition.
Army officials have no fears for the
safety of the American e xpeditlort. It
Is so closely concentrated as to be
fully able to defend ltse'f In any
emergency and also to lend eT.cient
protection to a wide ftretch of the
border.
The spread of the antl-Amcrlcan agi

reply to General Carranza's note de
manding recall of the American troops.
Creation of an International commis

to have been suggested, under existing
treaties, and It Is understood the pro

Two Villa Raiders Hanged.
Doming, N. M. Francisco Alvarez

There was no attempt at disorder.
SMALL WHEAT CROP PREDICTED.
FruiU As a Whole Promising, But
Peach Outlook Poor.
Washington. Present Indications
point to a wheat crop 300,000,000 bush
c's smaller this year than that of last
year. Department of Agriculture fore
casts indicated a winter wheat crop
of -19,000,000 bushels, 30.000.000 bush
els less than forecast from May 1 con
ditions, due largely to Insects In Kan
sas and Oklahoma, and a spring wheat
crop of 240,000,000 bushels, due to de
crease of 8 per cent In the acreage
from last year and to the late wet
f prlng.
Crop conditions on June 1 Indicated
les.t production than last year of small
gram crops, but they promise to be
about the same as the average produc
tion for the last five years.
Fru't crops as a whole are good. The
apple crop prospect la promising, espe
cially In the Eastern States, but the
peach crop outlook Is rather poor.
Indications are that the oats crop
will be about 300,000,000 bushels small
er tht.n last year, being particularly
poor In most Southern States and in
Oklahoma and Central Kansas, where
the green bug has Injured It.

CLAIMS
MASTERY OF SEAS
Declares Great Britain's Supre
macy Destroyed.
NEW CHAPTER IN HISTORY
Superior British Armada, Surrounded
With Halo, Beaten By Germans
In Manner That Electrl
tied World.
Berlin (via London). In the com
plete account of the Emporor's speech
to the sailors of the fleet at Wllhelms
haven, which was published here Wed
nesday, the Emperor Is quoted as say
ing that the great naval battle off Jut
land has destroyed Great Britain's su
premacy on the sea.
"When the groat war came," the
Emperor said, "envious enemies sud
denly attacked the Fatherland. The
army, by desperate fighting against su
perior foes, slowly conquered them one
after another. ,But the fleet waited In
vain for a real fight In numerous In
dividual encounters the navy clearly
demonstrated its heroic spirit, but was
forced to wait month after month for
a general battle.
"Repeated efforts were mnde to
bring the enemy out, but they proved
fruitless until the day finally came Isml
week when the gigantic fleet of
Albion, ruler of the seas since Trafal
gar was fought 100 years ago, appeared
In the open surrounded with a nimbus.
Instantly our fleet engaged this su
perior British armada, and with what
result? The English fleet was beaten.
The first big blow was dealt the Eng
lish fleet, whose tyrannical supremacy
was shattered.
"The news electrified the world and
caused unprecedented jubilation every
where that German hearts beat. Your
success In the North Sea fight means
that you have added a new chapter to
the history of the world. God Almighty
stocled your arms and gave you clear
eyes to accomplish this.
"I, standing here today as your su
preme war lord, thank you from the
bottom of my heart. As the represen
tative of the Fatherland I thank you
and In the name of my army I bring
you Its greetings because you have
done your duty unselfishly and only
with the one thought that the enemy
must be beaten.
"At a time when the enemy Is slow
ly being crushed before Verdun and
when our allies have driven the
Italians from mountain to mountain
you add new glories to our cause. The
world was prepared for everything, but
not for the victory of the German fleet
over the English. The start which
you have made will cause fear to creep
Into the bones of the enemy. What
you have done you did for the Father
land, that In the future It may have
freedom of the eoas for Its commerce.
Therefore I ask you to join me In three
cheers for our dearly beloved Father
land." DR. H. W. WILEY'S SISTER DEAD.

London. The news that Earl KHch.
enor, Secretary of State for War, and
his staff, who were proceeding to Rus
sia aboard the cruiser Hampshire,
were lost off the Orkney Islands was
the most stunning blow Great Britain
has received since the war began.
Accompanying Earl Kitchener as his
staff were Hugh James O'Boime, for
mer counselor of the British Embassy
at Petrograd and former Minister at
Sofia; Col. O. A. Fitzgerald, private
military secretary to the War-Minis-ter;
Brigadier-General Ellershaw, Sir
Hay Frederick Donaldson, technical
adviser to the Minister of Munitions;
Lieut. R, D. McPherson, aide; P. S.
Robertson and Detective McLaughlin.
Officers and men aboard the Hamp
shire numbered between 400 and 500.
The casualties probably will total 600.
On Way To See Czar.
The War Minister arid his staff were
proceeding to Russia at the special in
vitation of the Czar of Russia on a
special mission to discuss important
questions connected with the military
and financial conduct of the war.
It is understood on high authority
that Earl Kitchener's Tlslt to Russia
was kept profoundly secret. It was
practically Impossible for the Germans
to have learned either that he was
going or on whut route the ship was
traveling.
That the Hampshire was torpedoed
by German design therefore is general
ly discounted. It Is believed in the
highest circles that the ship either
struck a mine or was torpedoed In a
chance encounter with a German sub
marine. England Shocked.
This is the second shock the country
has sustained within a week. The
other was when the newspaper ap
peared Friday evening with the first
Intelligence of the naval battle In the
North Sea In the form of a list of the
ships lost, with virtually no Intimation
that there was any compensation In
the way of enemy losses.
The bulletin telling of the death of
Kitchener gavo the country Ijven a
greater shock.
