Allotment of Seats for the Republican
National Convention.

Allotment of Seats for the Republican
National Convention.
CHICAGO, May 2lst.-The b-Committee
of the National Republican Committee has
been in session here for two days, arrang-
ing details for the Convention and deciding
upon the distribution of tickets and the
allotment of seats to the press, and other
matters of detail. The seating capacity of
the hall is 1000, thus necessitating a
smaller apportionment of seats than form
erly.
The committee decided to give each dele
gate three general tickets for distribution,
and one press ticket to each delegate, thus
enabling the delegates to take care of the
local press in their District and State. One
hundred and forty-seven working seats at
tables are provided for the larger daily
newspapers, such as will make up and send
out from the hall special telegraphic reports
to supplement the verbatim report of the
Associated Press. No other papers except
ing those sending out such reports can be
given places at these tables.
In these 147 seats are included the seats
required by the Associated Press and off,
cial stenographers. The Local Press Com
mlttee was directed TO carry out these pro-
visions, and also notified that the largest
number OF working seats given to any
paper should be three. The greater portion
OF the daily papers taking reports will have
but one seat
The alternates will have no tickets but
their own. Ithas been the usual custom to
give the city where the Convention is held
fifteen per cent. of the tickets. The COM
mittee has reduced this to ten per cent.
The remaining tickets will be divided be-
tween the press, Members of Congress,
Governors ofStates and other distinguished
persons

NEW YORK, May 21st.-The first open
evidence OF the purpose of the friends eff
Henry Willard to put him once more at the
head of the Oregon Transaontinental Rail-
way was given to-day in a letter from VIII
lard TO the stockholders, appealing for their
proxies for use at the approaching election.
In this he pointed out that last summer he
was enabled, by the confidence of German
friends, to give financial aid to the COM
pany to the extent of $5,00O,0OO, and
that he was then requested by the
largest stockholders to become its
President again, which request he re-
fused, because some corporation that the
Oregon and Transcontinental was interested
in needed aid. But the aid having now
been given those corporations, Willard says
that, as the founder of the company, and
nom sense of duty, he feels bound to aid
in securing more satisfactory results for
the stockholders by infusing new life into
the company.

Interest to This State
WASHINGTON, May 21st.-Acting Secre-
tary Muldrow to-day decided. in the case
of Thomas O'Donsld, Jr., VS.. the State of
California, on appeal by O'Donald from
the decision of the Commissioner of the
General Land Office, that the State of Cali
fornia is not entitled to select as indemnity
lands, purchasable under the timber-and-
stone Act of June 3, 1878, in lieu OF school
lands deficient in fractional townships
Also, that in case of deficiencies in school
lands, the State has the right to select as
indemnity two sections to a township, or a
fractional township containing more than
three-quarters of an entire township, in
stead of one section, as claimed by the ap-
pellant in the case.
In the case of Barclay and McLead VS..
the State of California, the Acting Secre-
tary has decided that if the State, in MAX
ing its application for indemnity for losses
sustained in school sections, alleges in part
a fictitious or erroneous basis for its selec-
ton of indemnity, the entire basis must be
considered as defective and the selections
rejected
Both decisions sustain the Commissioner
of the General Land Office, and are re-
garded as important to the State of Califor-
MIA.

Copyright, 1888. by G.e California Associated Pre,s
WASHINGTON, May 21st-A very i'm
portant caucus of Republican Senators was
held this afternoon. After long discus
sion, it was decided to hold open sessions
for the discussion of the fisheries treaty.
This treaty will be made one of the issues
of the campaign, as an illustration of the
un-American policy of the Administration.
Many of the older Senators feared that
to discuss the treaty in open session would
be the beginning of an open discussion of
all executive business, but the majority felt
that, as it was previously agreed to kill the
treaty, the reasons for this action should be
given to the public,
The caucus also decided to make the
suppression of the negro vote at the South
one of the campaign issues, and the inves-
tigation now in progress by the Judiciary
Committee of the Senate into the manner
in which the municipal election in Jack
son, Miss, was conducted last fall, will
give the Republicans chance TO animad-
vert again upon the political methods en-
ployed at the South. These side issues
will be secondary to the main issue--the
tariff question.
