Crossing a red draped gangway the prince, who was accompanied by Ambas sador Clhoate. the earl of Setborne, first lord of the admiralty, and others, passed through the line of sailors with Admiral Cotton and Captain Hemphill standing with their hands at their chapeaus. The drums and bugles sounded four flourishes and In response to the signal from the flag ship all the American vessels hoisted, the royal standard at the main and fired salutes of 21 guns As the first gun boomed all the ships In the harbor, in cluding the royal yachts, the Victoria and the channel fleet, lying off Spithead, ! dressed ship.

At the con clusion of the inspection the prince com plimented Captain Hemphill on the splen did e mdition of the ship. As the prince crossed the gangway Lieutenant William V Barrett, of the Kearsarge, shouted: "l‘hree cheers for his royal highness, the prince of Wales." The same cry arose, simultaneously on the other American ships and the cries of the four vessels heartily hurrahed, the prince rneanwnile standing in the center of a group of officers with his hand at salute. Bands Play “God Save the King.'' As the ships pulled out of the station the shifts fired a royal salute, the bands played "God Save the King." Not to be outdone In courtesy. Admiral Beresford took up a position in front of the British blue jackets forming the royal escort who were lined on the dock facing the battle ship Kearsarge. Obeying a sharp order the detachment presented arms, while the British band struggled with rather poor success through ‘‘The Star Spangled Ban ner " As the escort marched away the Americans again rendered "God Save the King." The prince of Wales evinced a deep in terest in the superinmposed turrets of the Kearsarge and in response to th© prin■ e’s request. Captain Hemphill con ducted him inside the forwani double tur ret. The prince stopped to enter the lower turret and mounted the ladder leading to the upper S-inch gun turret. Flying’ Voyage for the Kearsarge. I'ortsmouth. England.

St. Petersburg, July 15.—The Birzhevia ■ Vedomosti in a leading article says: "The czar has abolished the harshest remnant of the babaric punishments of former times, namely, castigation with cudgels nnd cnt-o-nine-talls chaining to the car and shaving the bead, which were still inflicted for certain offenses of the persons exiled to penal settlements or to the mines. Castigation with cat-o-nlne talls ami ’.he cudgels not infrequently ended in death and was one of the harsh est forms of death penalty, being death by torture. Only the most hardened prls. oners could stand the punishment under the measured blows of the cat-o-nlno talls. "The Cudgel and the 'ent' are replaced In the new statute." says the paper, "by prolongation of term or by solitary con finement up to one hundred days, with bread and water, except every third day when hot food will he served at one meal. The abolition of the cudgel and of the 'cat' does not. however, mean the prohibition of corporal punishment alto gether. The revised statute of June 15 prescribes chastisement with birch rods up to one hundred blows for slight of fenses and misdemeanors." according to the same authority, and the matter is left entirely to the discretion of the pris on authorities or the local governors.

[ which opened at tho auditorium this af ternoon and the situation is full of possi bilities for more pvrotechlncs before final adjournment Is taken. The salient fea tures of tlv* afternoon gathering were an indorsement of President Roosevelt s can didacy In 1901. which upset the caiucula tions of several shrewd leaders who. it is charged, were figuring on ignoring that point In the platform resolutions, nnd what amounted almost to a stampede to former Governor W O. Bradley, who la not an announced candidate, after Colonel Morriss B. Belknap had on a test vote for temporary chairman, apparently shown that he could win hands down on the first ballot. Three Candidates. The convention was called to order nt | 2:25 o'clock this afternoon by State Chair ' man Barnett, who announced the chief | business before the convention to bo the nomination of a full state ticket. There are three candidates for governor: Colonel MorrU B. Balknap. a Louisville wholsale merchant; Hon. Augustus E. Willson, a Louisville lawyer, and Attorney General Clifton J. Pratt, the only man on the ticket in 1899 to secure his office after a bitter legal contest. Chairman Barnett announced that the ' 4:1 led central committee would waive its i right Io arbitrarily name the temporary' chairman and called for nomination. Ma jor William C. Owens was named by the Belknap forces, while Charles Blanford received a large part of the combined strength of the Pratt and Willson forces. The result was a vote of 1,571 to 675 in favor of Owens. This vote cast In the contest for governor would enable Belknap to win even should he lose the contested Louisville delegation of 2411 votes. Rloosevelt Indorsed. Immediately after the committees were announced former Governor Bradley took the floor and offend the following reso lution :. “Resolved. That we, the republicans of Kentucky, express our heartfelt approval and admiration of the administration of Theodore Roosevelt, and that we hearitly indorse him tor the republican nomination for president in 11'1'4 " Til..- resolution was rem.l by former Governor Bradley, without having first obtained constant, tint H was unanimously adopted by a rising vote, ev.uy delegate springing to his feej and cheering Immediately afterward Mr. Bradley was given a tremendous ovation. After five minutes uninterrupted i heering he con sented to take the stage, and spoke. Tlie pitli of his remarks wgs an ajjneal for honest elections and honest conven tions. and he referred Indirectly to the contest over tile i-oulsvllle delegation by pleading that tile delegates nominate a man only whose methods had been fair and honest, and one who could command united support. The speech was power fully put and there immediately began what threatened to become a stamppdo to Bradley.

Bradley that he was not a candidate can only be conjectured. Mr. Belknap was nominated after an enthusiastic supporter of Mr. Bradley had placed the former governor In nomination and the followers of Mr. Augustus E. Willson had tacitly withdrawn the man supposed to be Belknap's nearest competi tor by failing to present his name. The threatened stampede to Bradley was quelled by an emphatic declaration tha t he would not be a candidate, but for some unknown reason the convention offi cers called his name during the ballot and he received a greater number of votes than Clifton J. Pratt, who had made an active canvass. Tho convention did practically nothing during the morning session and the long wait was profitably employed by the Belknap leaders in holding their m»*n in line and chilling the Bradley sentiment. There were two moments during the con vention when it looked as though an In dication of willingness on the part oi Mr. Bradlev wou.d have given him the nomination. ♦ SAVE TRAYLOR, SPENCER’ & CO.'S TAGS.
