THEIR REPRESENTATION IN CONVENTION Chai the Opposed Sottle man Carter's Proposal for a Change in renuonsly tative Carolina. n of Organization S| Vie ot ¥ of Represe North WASHINGTON, Feb. 27.—The republicans of the south, according to thelr representa- tives in congress, will strenuously oppose the proposition of Chairman Carter of the republican national committeo to change the plan for #he next national convention. Two plans were discussed at the meeting of the executive committee in Washington, as the culmination of the agi- which has going on for some time among northern republicans, based on the idea that as the south gives republican candidates no electoral votes, it {3 allowed influence in the. nominating con- vention. One of these plans Is to allow one delegate for every 7,000 votes cast for the republican candidate in the preceding presi- dential e the other proposition is to contin, esent reprosentation of two delogate h congressional district and allow an_additional delegate for every 7,000 votes. Bither system would materially res duce the representation of the southern states. The arguments against the change were sufficiently represented today by Representas tive Thomas Settle of North Carolina, the only republican member from the south now in the city, who is prominent in the politics of his state, and .whose father was a leading southern republican. Said Mr. Settlo: “The southern republicans will be unalterably ops posed to the change, and 1 think it very un. and impolitic (o agitate the matter at time. It is an unjust and unfriendly w aimed at southern republicans: by their thern brethren. Just at this time when the democratic party has repudiated its pled made through the medium of its state platforms in every southern state for the lust fifteen or twenty years, to enact a Taw for the ~ free and uniimited coinage of silver as soon as they came into power nationally and while they are waging unrelenting war on southern interests and resources in their proposed ariff legislation, it seems that wisdom would suggest that it was time to extend a helping hand to southern republicans rather than strike them a blow. We fight against odds to which northern republicans are strangers. The enforcement of unjust olection laws dis- franchises tens of thousands of republican oters in the south. It would be a strange proceeding, one not in keeping with the his- tory and traditions of the party, to endorse these election laws and democratic methods, by denying these disfranchised republicans voice’in nominating conventions. This is done if we are only aceorded representation upon the basis of votes returned or agtually cast. The republican party has always pro- tested against democratic suppression of re- publican votes in the south, yet some of its leaders propose to deny us representation in party councils, just in proportion as we are denied the right of voting by democratic chicanery and fraud. Acting under tho advice of northern leaders we ran no electoral ticket in Alabama at the last eleetion that the populists might, if possible, overpower the democrats. There are other instances of the same sort, yet if the proposed plan Is carried out such a course, when taken for the interests of the party, would cut down our representation in conventions. Another argument against the change proposed by Chajrman Carter is that it would fncrease’ the number of delegates in_convention, while in the past the weakest point in conventions has been that they were too large.’ Daug WASHINC As a result of eral informal conferences among promi- nent delegates to the recent congress of the Daughters of the American Revolution, who ere dissatisfied with the methods of busi- ness adopted at the congress, some radical changes in the organization of that society are now in comtemplation. Several forms of propositions, some looking to restricting the powers of the national board and others to altogother aborgate them, will soon be submitted to various influential chapters. The purpose is declared to be to caunse a congress to assemble which can meet, elect its own officers and proceed to. transact its business without restrictions. of organization m tation been News for the Arm WASHINGTON, Feb.

There was one extraordinary scene to mark the day's proceedings. Captain Heyerman broke down while telling the story of the wreck and the court room was cleared until he could control his emotion, The first witness was Rear Admiral Stan- ton, who told in detail the story of the Kear- sarge's voyage from the time she sailed from Port au Prince until she struck on Roncador reef. 'he witness described the manner in which the offic nd the crew left the vessel, as already told in the printed accounts. Then Captain Heyerman was called. After stating, in reply to the judge advocate, that the reports printed in the press were sub 1ly accurate, he was asked if he had L ny of the ship's records, particularly the “rough” and ‘‘smooth” log books. I made two attempts,” said he, “after the ves- sel.struck to save the log books, as well as the night order book, knowing that they would be wanted as exhibits in the i vestigations, which I knew would follow. 1 was, however, only able to save my life.” aptaln Heyerman identified several charts Which had been in use on board the Kearsarge. One was an English chart of the Roncador bank, and was issued from the liydrographic office at Washington. It was corrected up to 1892. Questioned as to his confidence in the chrats and instruments on board the Kear- he said: “I had no doubt as to the accuracy of the charts and the instruments on board. The night sextant was a little out of gear, but the other instruments were in perfect condition." Captain Heyerman, answering Judge Ad- vocate Kelly's questions, sald he had been in the navy since 1861 and had commanded the Yantle, Kearsarge and Pensacola. Then, reverting to the day of the wreck, Captain Heyerman deseribed the condition of the weather and the currents for the half dozen hours previous to the Kearsarge striking on the reef. He received the report of the navigator at intervals. The latitude was taken by the ship’s running. "I was sure the Kearsarge was so to the north of Roneador reef that I was well clear of it I had lockouts on the topgallant yards 1 the afternoon, and at 5:20 sent an officer aloft to make sure there was no danger in ght. The officer reported everything was a ht."” 3 e Sreakers were first reported at 6:50 o'elock. At that time Admiral anton, the navigator, Captain Heyerman .(IIIV' officer of the day were on deck. What Was the discrepancy,” asked the judge ad- vocate, “between the point where you really were and where you thought you were when the ship struek? “About six miles to the southward and four miles to the eastward of the point where I supposed we were from our reckon- ing,”” was Heyerman's reply. The witness then corroborated the mony given by Admiral Stanten as orders fmmediately after the Kearsarge struck. There was, according to Captain , an interval of only two minutes between the sighting of the white water and the shock of striking on the reef. The commander told how the Kearsarge was abandoned after it was seen she was doomed. He also described the manner in which Seaman Anderson Robbins lost his lite while trying to wade from the outer reef to the main key. Then he gave in de- tail the story of the encampment on the Kkey and the boarding of the wreck to ob- tain provisions and the unsucee sful search for the night order hook: He gave a vivid des iption of the camp life and the ecrude bill of fare during the stay on the key. The arrival of the City of Para and the embar tion of the Kearsarge's crews were also in- terestingly recounted by Heyerman. g Discovered u Bure Manuseript.

Nat- urally this report, apparently based on some thing more than mere political rumor, has caused the greatest excitement in politi circles and s causing a_great and hurried exchange of telegrams between the great leaders and their intimate advisors Mr. T. P. O'Connor, M. P., writing to the Sun today, says in connection with the rumor that Mr. Gladstone has resigned: “For some time something like a panic has existed among his supporters in the lobbies. Yestorday evening the rumor was current that his resignation was to be expected during the course of the weck. Competent authority gives his oyesight as the actual reason for his resignation, but the situation is further aggravated by the position of certain members of the cabingt with refer- ence (o the naval program. "The premier had to face the possibility of Earl Spencer's (the first lord of the admiralty) resignation. The cataract in the premier’s eye Is not yet ripe for operation, but when it occurs he must spend six weeks in darkness. Nobody knows what a day may bring forth, though in my own opinion Mr. Gladstone will re- fuse to leave the shi The Morning publishes an unconfirmed re- port that Mr. Gladstone informed the queen yesterday he was about to undergo an opera- tion for his eyes and that he desired the royal sanction to Lord Rosebery acting as premier pro tem. The Associated press correspondent, so soon as the rumor of Mr. Gladstonc’s resignation became known, placed himself in communi- cation with the secrefary of the premier, who informed the Assaciated press that the statements made by the Edinburgh Evening News were entirely unauthorized. In view of the many previous reports of a similar nature whigh have been circu- lated in conneetion with Mr. Gladstone, there are many people jho believe that there is no more truth in the, present rumor than there has been in other similar reports. An intimate friend of Mr. Gladstone ha been quoted as saying that the premier was decply affected at the criticism leveled at him by his fricnds, and that he is ap- parently impressed with the belief that the liberals are ungratefy] and that his best course under all the circumstances of the case is to resign (he premiership. A physician visited Mr. Gladstone today and remained with him for some time, but the premier devoted the morning to his un- official work and was: visited frequently by the patronage sgeretary to the treasury, Rt. Hon. Edward Marjoribanks, who is also the liberal whip. The Evening News this afternoon says that the earl of Rosebery has been offered the premiership and that he has declined it. Tho same paper says that the premier- ship was later offercd to Earl Spencer, firs lord of the admiralty, and that he accepted it, In conclusion the Evening News says that Mr. Gladstone's resignation goes into effect on Easter. In an interview today Chairman Cowan of the Midlothian Liberal association stated Mr. Gladstone had often said to him he would take the carliest opportunity for resigning.
