Her naming wasa movement made by the Sunday Post Dispatch, which on March, 1898, sent_a_strongly worded telegram to the members of the Missouri delegation at Washing- ton.urging that one of the three new battleships to be built should be named after this state. Major Chas. E. Pearce, Mr. Bartholdt and others immediately took the matter up, and a committee, headed by Mr. Cochran, was appointed by the dele- gation to wait on the secretary of the navy and urge Missouri’s claims.

The feature of the deliberations of the’ convention yesterday was the marked unanimity of sentiment pre- vailing among the delegates as to the work expected of them, and which accounts for the expediency with which the work was accomplished. | The Size of Texas.
