He Opposes Those Who Wanted to See
German Flag Raised Over Part
of Morocco Last Year.
Berlin, July 12. Emperor William has
just made a speech designed to curb
the too aggressive spirit of those- Ger
mans who wanted to see the German
flag raised over a part of Morocco hist
year. This speech, which was made at
a yacht regatta banquet at Hamburg
and was largely addressed to Hamburg
merchants, contained a pointed reference
to the Agadir incident. The passage in
question was as follows: "As you all
know, gentlemen, the flag must wave
in honor, and it must not be reckless
ly spread to the breezes or hoisted wher
we are not sure that we can deicni
it. You will understand why 1 have
practiced self-restraint in spreading the
German flag at places where many per
sons perhaps long to see it floating. I
was governed by an old Hanseatic prirv
ciple graven on the town hall at Lu
beck: 'The little flag is easily bound
to the staff, but it costs much to haul
it down again with honor.' "
The emperor went on to say that he
could clai mthat, during hi.s reign, the
honor of the German flag had never
been insulted from any quarter; then,
addressing himself to the Hamburg mer
chants present; he added: "I pledge
you, and I stand for it, that may flag
will follow yon wherever you lead the
way." This" latter remark shows that
the" emperor does not believe in the
old political maxim tht trade follows
the nag. He is less aggressive, and is
content to have the German flag follow
trade.
The German ' navy's surveying hip
Tlanet has discovered in the vicinity
of the Philippines the deepest known
spot in the ocean, S.780 meters, or four
hundred and six feet more than six
miles. This record sounding was made,
according to a cable account received
at the admiralty here, about forty -ea
miles off the north coast of Mindanao.
The greatest depth hitherto known. 0.635
meters just under six miles was found
by the United States cable steamer Nero
in 1001 to the south of the island of
Guam.
Woman suffragists, the Socialists and
other advocates of the equal-pay-for-equal-work
doctrine are much wrought
up over ap lan of the imperial postal
department, just announced, whereby
8.000 male employes are to be replaced
by women on the score of economy. It
is estimated that a yearly saving of
about 6.000.000 marks, or nractically
$1 ,500,000. will be effected. The salary
of some 3,600 of the posts to be filled
with women w-ill be 750 marts a year.
This makes $14,88 a month.

ing administration and elected Virgil G.
Hinshaw of Portland,'' Ore., national
chairman for the party.
J he convention voted dow n a proposed
plank in the platform, demanding that
the separation of church and state be
perpetual and that no public money
should be appropriated to sectarian
churches and schools.
Mr. Hinshaw, the new national chair
man of the party, was a conspicuous
selection as between Charles B, Jones of
Illinois, the present chairman, and W. G.
Calderwood of Minnesota, the leading in
surgent candidate for the oflice. The
insurgents ' early in the day won their
fight to bnve the chairman elected by
the. convention, instead of appointed by
the national committee. Mr. Hinshaw's
election came on the fifth ballot last
night, after both Jones and Calderwood
had withdrawn. Between ballots on the
national chairmanship, the convention
devoted its time to the adoption of a
platform.
1 he delegates were in a turmoil most
of the time and occasionally there came
cries of "gag rule" and "Tammany tac
tics" from several of the delegations.
"Don't be Republicans or Democrats;
let's have harmony,' shouted the perma
nent chairman during one of the dis
turbances. Several times when the disorder was1
at its height the chairman brought about
tranquillity by starting a song or by
having someone start a prayer. The
night session adjourned with everyone
apparently in a contented frame of mind.
The platform as originally presented
by the resolutions committee was1
changed in several particulars. Some of
the delegates contended there was "not
enough prohibition" in the document, a.)
several strong phrases were added on
that subject. Then came the elimina
tion of the plank declaring for a separa
tion of state and church and declaring
against the use of public moneys for
sectarian schools and churches.
Mr. Hinshaw. the new chairman of the
party, is an attorney in Portlwd and is
president of the Intercollegiate Prohibi
tion association.
When adjournment was taken last
night, Eugene W. Claflin of Arizona, the
presidential candidate of four years ago,
was being most generally discussed as
the probable candidate this year. Mr.
Claflin was given an ovation yesterday
afternoon.

DEAD FISH CLOG INDUSTRYs
Vermont Marble Company at Proctor
Had to Close Yesterday.
Rutland, July 12. The entire plant of
the Vermont Marble company at Proctor
was shut down vesterday morning by
reason of thousands of dead fish, washed
down by Otter creek, getting into the
dam and shutting off the supply of wa
ter. Ten wagon loads of suckers, bull
heads, dace, pickerel, perch, bass, sun-fif-h,
and a few trout, had been carted
away and buried bv noon. No one km'ws
what caused mortality among the finny
tribe. Three theories are advamed:
That poisonous gases were generated in
the water from the effect of the heat
on sewage; the electrification of the wa
ter br the severe thunder storm; the,
stranding of the fish by reduction of th
creeks stream to a mere thread ot water
