THE national republican committee met in
Washington last week, and after discussing
various methods for calling the next con.
vention reported by the committee chosen
at the last convention, decided to adhere to
the old basis Of representation, four dele
gates at large and two for each representa-
tive in congress and two delegates from each
territory. The choice of district delegates
was given to the voters of the district. A
resolution for call of the next convention,
so broad and liberal as to invite cooperation
from every class and every section of the
country, was adopted.

THE reform administration in Pennsylva.
mia is already under a cloud. Young Gov
ernor Pattison appointed Lewis e. Cassidy,
attorney general of the state. Cassidy is
acknowledged to be one of the ablest law
yers in the city of Philadelphia. Pattison
studied law with him, and he was the gov
ernor's warm personal friend and mentor.
But Cassidy is also veteran politician,
mixed up with all the old fractional fights
of the Keystone democracy, and soiled by
the stains of many dubious piece of STRAIT
egg in political warfare In other words,
he is not the kind of man the reform ele-
ment of the two parties likes to see taking
lead in the new governors counsels. The
step has cost Mr., Pattison the cooperation
of some of the best independent papers of
the state-notably the Philadelphia Time
AS well as the support of an influential
part of the democratic press. Possibly the
atmosphere of the new administration may
act as moral tonic upon Mr.. Cassidy but
at all events, discord has set in, and, as
in New York, democratic harmony is gone.

Long Island s ound.

The Extent and Importance of the Traffic
 Of the S0und-Number of Vessels Both
 Steam and Sail Passing Throgg's
 Neck-A Careful Computation of New
 Position.
 Below will be found the number of vessels passing east and west through Long Island Sound to New York as reported in the New York Herozd. These tables were arranged for Capt. Charles H. Townsend for his future use and reference, and cover period of two years ending 1st of July last. The computa- tion has been made with great care by Mr. W. Haskell, Ph. B., curator of Yale College reading room.
 The object of this computation is to pre- serve for future use and reference for com mercial purposes record of the enormous amount of steamer and other transportation passing through Long Island Sound to New York. It is probably only half the number that pass, as many are not taken by the Herald reporter and many pass through at night. It will be noted that no record is made of the regular line of steamboats belonging to Providence and other Sound steamboat lines. It IS eSt1maCeQ GHaG the value caff16Q 1nGC New York via Long Island Sound is greate ! than that by way of Sandy Hook. cerre- spondent says: "What will be the traffic ot Long Island Sound 50 years hence, when New York will probably cover lower Westchester county and have several miles of water frontage on the, Sound? No estimate can be made at the present day of the amount of that value, as new inventions in the near future may still more hasten and increase the transportation. The quiet ob- server can therefore see from these figures. and the figures handed in by Collector Beers to His Honor the Mayor, given below, of the duties for the last year paid in from this cus- toms district to the United States-( (about one-half million dollars)- )-the great conner cial and geographical position of New Ha- ven and it's harbors for transportation from the granaries of the West via the Hoosac Tunnel and Pennington and Naugatuck Valleys to Europe, or the markets of the world in general. It would seem that port like this, that has the power to collect half 8 million dollars annually for the United States Treasury, deserves credit and recogni, ton not only by citizens of this section, but from the country at large"

Wilsonia Magnetic
 MUTUAL Health Insurance.

We make no speeialties among the multi form diseases, in treating with the Wilsonia Magnetic Appliances.
 Testimonials of cures of all diseases by Wilsonis are too abundant to admit of a doubt as to it's curative powers, but Catarrh being very prevalent in this climate, we are calling special attention to this disease.
 Catarrh is essentially blood poison, and will. if unchecked, involve all parts of the body. Personal experience, as well as many and neighborhood, prove beyond the shadow most successful ever adopted for the cure of Catarrh. It so changes the quality of the blood that the system throws off the germ of known one case of Catarrh, Dyspepsia, Con- stipation or Rheumatism to fail of cure where the Appliances were worn as directed. We therefore give guarantees for the cure of these three diseases, or refund half the mon ey, simply to get the doubting to try, for we know that none of them will ever claim the return of the money. Those who cannot pay all cash can pay one-helf, and the balance in easy install ments.
 We ask all chronic sufferers who are able to call and get particulars from our agent, JULIUS IVES, No. Elm street, Todd's Block, New Haven, or by sending card he will visit them.
 It greatly strengthens confidence to exam inc the goods.

The New York Road.

The Consolidated Roads Annual Meet tng-Mr. Goodwin in the FieId-The Old Directors Elected.
 The annual meeting of the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad was held at Loomis Temple of Music in this city yester- day. President Watrous presided. About 75 stockholders were present. Director E. H. Trowbridge read the call and the minutes of the last meeting which were approved. Next came the submission of the annual re- port of the directors. Mir. Fl. l.. Goodwin, of East Hartford, claimed it not right to adopt the report without giving the stock holders time to discuss it. There being no objection to such discussion MT. Goodwin called attention. The substance of MT. Good wins objections are contained in pamphlet in which he makes an attack upon the figures of the annual report of the directors. Mir. Goodwin alleges that the amount of local income from rents, transportation and inter- est, stated to be $5,937 1907. 64, is understated | $436. 744.7 75; the directors having deducted | from the actual earnings $291, ,503 67 paid to | the Harlem road for the use of twelve miles of it's track, and $145, ,241. .08 paid to the Air Line under the ''pooling contract" MT. Goodwin also claims to have discovered CT. TOTS in the treasurer's balance sheet, showing that payments amounting to $736, "A. 7s have been made during the year and are moi accounted for. He revives the old s'$300, ,00C item," and claims further to have found { 'mystery of nearly $500, 900" in the surplus of the company. In one paragraph Of hi pamphlet Mir. Goodwin states that during thu
 first full year since the reduction of passen ger fares was made there has been an in crease of $1,O44, 4,345, or upwards of forty four per cent. over the passenger receipts for 1880, and he argues from this that th' passenger rates should be reduced to two cents per mile.
 MT. Goodwin was answered by Mir. Batter son, of Hartford, Mir. Watrous and othel stockholders. After some discussion th' vote for directors was taken, resulting in tht re. election of the old board. Eighty-fivt ! thousand nine hundred and six shares ont O I 155, 500 shares were represented.
 Mr. Patterson in his remarks facetiously referred to "the annual circus," referring tt Mir Goodwin.

BtrmIngham's Fire Yesterday

Birmingham had another fire yesterday This time it was in the old postofice building on the lower part of Main street. It was changed into two stores. Charles A. Kupper occupies one and Toney, an Italian fruit dealer, the other with cellar underneath. The top story was occupied by the Transcript Publishing company. The fire broke out in the cellar The fremen were quickly at work on the fire. A dance was in progress opposite at Nathan's Hall. and the fremen had plenty of help offered from that source. The fire was extinguished with only $1Oo damage. Considerable excitement was arous- cd by the fire, Birmingham having had many of late, and some being undoubtedly of in cendiary origin. It was found, however, that the fire was accidental, the woodwork having caught fire from the fruit and candy mans store.
