Tried to Beat Southard. distr ly u “A concerted effort was made by the enemies of Representative James Southard of the Toledo district to defeat him, and at one time It looked as though they had him on the run. He rallied his forces, however, and gave them a good beating at | the finish. This is the fourth time he carried the congressional banner—a rec breaker of Inte vears for that district. The fact that he steered a bill through the House giving financial aid to the Toledo exposition helped him out in the fight. In the tenth the ppublicans have renominate n, who is serving his fi ‘erm, and was given a renomination with- out oppcesition. “The dean of the delegation, Gen. Gros- venor, received a unanimous romination from the republican electors of the eleventh. The grim old lon of Athens, as Champ Clark calls him, was never in better politi- cal fettle than when this convention con- fronted him. It was Grosvenor all the way. Lentz Having Trouble. “John J. Lentz looks like he is up against the real thing in the twelfth. In 1996 he beat D. K. Watson, now a member of the commission codifying the federal criminal law, by a beggarly forty nine votes, and in ‘98 finished seven hundred votes ahead of E. N. Huggins. When Outhwaite repre- sented this district it was considered the solid democratic district of the state, but never taken kindly to Lentz theorfes. His greatest strength has been In Fairfield county. The business end of Franklin, democrat and republican alike, re diated him. The republicans be- eve thi if they nominate a man who can command the full party vote this fall Lentz will be beaten. He is having big trouble in his own camp at present, and Judge D. Badger of the common pleas benck one of the most vigorous democratic fightefs in the district, {s after him with a hot political poker. DeWitt C. Jones, former editor of the Post-Press, and Lentz's boon companion in the two former campaigns. is now fight- % him vigorously. ‘Doc.’ Norton, as his Howers delight to call him, ts happy with a good local fight on in his thirteenth dis- trict. He is cheerful and normal in the st of a political mixup, and if it threat- s disaster the flower on his lapel grows redder and his alr even more jaunty. No er how big a republican majority may ep the state, Norton usually manages to slide in on some shaky democratic plat- form. He is the stormy petrel of Ohio poll- ties. Rough Sledding for Kerr. “Representative Kerr has been having rough sledding in the fourteenth. ‘The con- vention that assembled at Wellington some two weeks since cast some thirteen hundred ballots without reaching a nomination. It took one hundred and elghteen votes to nominate, and Kerr’s greatest strength was i three. It was known that nd choice of a number of in the other counties, but the candidates refused to release their men, and the only solution was an adjourn- ment, which was taken, and Norwalk, May 17, named as place and time. This conven- tion selected W. T. Francis, a popular con- ductor on the Baltimore and Ohio road be- tw Washington and Ohio, as presiden- tial elector. In reviewing the situation with an Ohio member on his train a few days since. Francis thought Kerr's chances were steadily improving. He has great strength in Huron and Ashland counties, and it {s predicted that a number of these delegates will break to him as soon as possible at the Norwalk convention. It is known that the Speaker would be much pleased at Kerr's on the committee on the judici: reputation on the floor is growing. His Election Assured. “The wizard of the delegation Van Voorhis of the fifteenth distri five successive times has he received the nomination from republican congressional cenyentions in that district. This is a rec- ord , and his breaker and the performance is all the more remarkable when it is considered that Van Voorhis had not been active in politics prior to his elec ction to the Fifty- third Congress. He had # hard fight for this last nomination, and the opposition boasted that they had him routed. The delegates were selected by a primary sys- tem, however, and when the conveniion convened he had a working majority and was nominated on the first ballot. The dis- trict Is about three thousand republican and his election is assured. “J. J. Gill has been renominated by the republicans of the sixteenth district. He was elected to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Lorenzo Danford, and was given this renomination without opposition. Gill 1s a wealthy manufacturer who has y been fn politics of late years. The re and ability that he displayed in ness interests ts now being devoted to his political ambitions. And as this is a district that has followed the rule of keeping men in Congress a number of terms, he will undoubtedly serve his con- stituency for some time to come. Watching His Fences. “Representative J. A. McDowell of the seventeenth {s watching his fences with some anxiety. This is a solid democratic district, and three or four gentlemen have come out and announced their determina- tion to contest the honor with him. Col. Ike Hill of the House force has been spoken of in this connection, but your Uncle Isaac 1s long on horse sense in_his day und generation, and has picked Me- Dowell as the winning man. The republi- cans have made a nomination in this dis- trict and selected Col. M. M. Gillette, now a member of Governor Nash's steff, as their candidate. Gillette 1s well known in Wash- ington, having lived here for four or five years prior to taking up his residence at Newark, Ohio, in 1898, as secretary and treasurer of the Newark Fuel and Light Company. He was secretary for a while to Representative Alexander of New York, and for a time was connected with the river and harbor committce. He is a genial young fellow, a@ great hustler, but will hardly overcome the three thouscnd demo- cratic majority in the district. “For a time it looked as though Repre- sentative R. W. Tayler, living at Lisbon, in the eighteenth district, would have a hard fight to save his congressional scalp. ‘The opposition was organ!zed so thoroughly that he was compelled to take the field in person and spent several weeks laboring with the electors of the old McKinley dis- trict that no mistake should be made in the nomination. When it came to a show- down of delegates, however, he had a num- ber to spare, and the district is unanimous in {ts desire to return this keen, aggressive and fearless young champion. Jimmy field’s Ambition. “Representative Phillips has been having trouble for his second renomination. James Garfield, son of the late President, has been anxious to break into Congress for several years past. He conceived the idea that the time was ripe to realize his ambition. After several weeks’ hard work he has come to the conclusion that he had better wait a while, and it ts conceded that Phillips will be renominated. Representative T. 15. Burton of Cleveland was given a practically unanimous renomination at a primary vote some two months since. This is his fifth renomination. * The Fight at Dayton. “A fight is going on at Dayton, Ohio, over the nomination at the hands of the demo- cratic congressional convention of the third district. John L. Brenner, who has repre- sented that district in the Fifty-fifth and Fifty-sixth Congresses, is a candidate, but | declares that he will make no fight for it if there ts any opposition to his course in Congress. Brenner is a solid, substantial business man, whose strong hold on his constituency is his unquestioned integrity and freedom from political tricks. He de- vominee in that district can be defeated. “It is rumored that Boss Cox will change his congressional delegation in the Fifty- seventh House. Cox was never stronger in Hamilton county than at the present Writing. At the spring elections all his se- lections for offices were elected by the peo- ple, and his machine is in flourishing form. Both Shattue and Bromwell are prominent members of the delegation, and Bromwell especially is an untiring worker, with a great mastery for detail. But if the bose says ‘No’ their careers must stop, and others will be sent in their places. A Harmonious Convention. “The state convention last week was the most harmonious one held of late years by the republican forces. Hanna and Foraker were shoulder to shoulder in a common de- sire to promote peace and harmony and gain strength for the administration. Ohio was never in @ more prosperous condition, and any talk of dissatisfaction with the ad- ministration is the veriest rot. McKinley will sweep the Buckeye country a hundred thousand strong in November, ‘The Porto Rico matter is not discussed, and now that the bill has become a law the people have lost interest in the controversy.” —>—_- Army Orders.

Wil- son, military governor of the Department of Matanzas and Santa Clara, who died Saturday afternoon last from the effects of burns received that morning by her dregs catching fire from a match on which she had stepped. Mrs, Wilson had become endeared to all classes of the community, and her death has brought forth expres- sions of sympathy, not only from the res!- dents of Matanzas, but from people throughout the island, who have tele- graphed condolences and expressions of sympathy to General Wilson and his be- reaved family, It apears that Mrs. Wilson, accompanied by her daughter, was taking her daily drive, in a light wagon, when the accident oc- curred. About ten minutes after she had started it was discovered that her dress was on fire, and it was presumed that she had trod on a match, which had ignited her clothing. The driver immediately stopped the vehicle, and with the aid of Mrs. Wjl- son’s daughter did everything possible to extinguish the flames, but she was badly burned before this could be effected. Mrs. Wilson was then placed in a coach and taken home, suffering terribly. Gen. Wil- son, who was at his office, was immediately notified and hastened to the side of his wife. The doctors who were summoned did all that was possible to relieve her sufferings, and for a short time hopes were enter- tained that she would recover. The burns and resulting shock proved too much, how- ever, and she expired after having siffered from 10:30 a.m. to 8:15 p.m. The body of Mrs. Wilson has been em- balmed, and Gen. Wilson and his two daughters and his alds will accompan y it north Tuesday, on board the United States transport Buford. The interment will take place at Wilmington, Del. NEW YORK, April 80.—The general topic for discussion at the morning session of the ecumenical conference in Carnegie Hall to- day was “Medical Work.” A number of interesting papers were read treating of this branch of mission duties in its various phases. The devotional exercises which preceded the business session were con- ducted by Dr. Henry Foster of the Clifton Springs sanitarium. “Medical Work, Its Relation to Missfon- ary Work as a Whole, Practical Proofs of Its Value, Importance, Limitations and Re- sults," was discussed in papers by the Rev. Dr. George E. Post, professor of surgery of the Syrian Protestant College, and Dr, C. F. Hartford-Battersby of the Livingstone Medical College, England. ——_+««—_ To Tunnel Chilkoot Pass. TACOMA, Wash., April, 30.—The Chil- koot Tunnel Company, composed of capi- talists of British Columbia and this state, propose spending $2,000,000 in developing another system of Yukon transportation. The company proposes first to bore a tun- nel 8,800 feet long through Chilkoot pass mountain. A broad gauge electric railway will be constructed through the tunnel from Dyea to Lake Bennett. +++ The Fighting Fourteenth in ’Frisco. SAN FRANCISCO, Cal., April 80.—The 1st Battalion of the 14th United States In- fantry, which has been in quarantine, has landed at the reservation wharf of the Pre- sidio, after two years of continuous fighting in the Philippines. The battalion was es- corted to its camp by almost the entire force of the post, under command of Major Rucker. ——_—+++-__ Formation of Guaranty Companies.

Budlong, 19 Stewart building, has written the District Commissioners to the effect that their amendment of the po- lice regulations relative to the location of circuses is unsatisfactory to many of the people residing in the vicinity of the lot at the torner of M and North Capitol streets. The amendment made by the Commission- ers provides that no circus shall be lo- cated, operated or conducted on any lot or open space without the written consent of 75 per cent of the residents keeping house in the square on which it is proposed to lo- cate the circus and in the squeres confront- ing such square. Mr. Budlong suggests the following sub- stitute: ‘That no circus shall hereafter be located, operated or conducted on any lot or open space without the written consent of 7% per cent of the residents on .the streets facing such square or vacant lot.” The amendment suggested by him, Mr. Budlong contends, could not be miscon- strued. ee Presentation Day.
