The Republican State Committee
met in this city yesterday at The
Olympia, and issued call for State
Convention to be held at Tacoma, on
Thursday, September 25th, to nomi-
nate candidate for Representative,
and transact such other business rs
may appertain to State organization.
The basis of representation adopted is
as follows: One delegate for each 100
votes and one vote for fraction in ex-
cess OF 30, cast for the Republican NOM
nee for that Office last year. Under
this ratio King and Pierce each have
45, Spokane 80, WallA Walla Is and
Thurston IL. The lowest number of
delegates apportioned to either of the
counties is two to Franklin. The call
recommends that county conventions
be held on Tuesday, Sept. 10th. No
proxies are to be admitted to the State
Convention. Alternates are to be &C.
lected, in accordance with the recon.
mendalion OF the last convention. Ii
delegates and substitutes are absent,
the delegation of the county cast the
vote. The committee recommends
that the primaries be held under the
provisions of an act Of the Legislature
approved March q, 1890, and that If
vote therein is challenged, the per
son shall subscribe an oath that he is
= qualified elector OF the precinct and
q member of the Republican party. It
is hoped by this means to keep the
party clear from the communicating in
huence of those wheel-horses who
sway the floating vote that will pledge
its support to neither party, but who
attend the primaries to advance the in
terests OF their favorites. Mr.. Convey,
the Chairman OF the Committee will
not resign, as he will not leave for his
post at Kanagawa until he has con-
tributed his share for the success of
his party.

CUBA MAY BE OURS.
Two Hundred Million Dollars
" " ffn Would Buy It.
n the United States VIII Take the Island
Now, She Can Have It by Reliev.
tq Ing Spaln's Distress.

Seniors Hypolito Murua and Policarpo
Munoz, the Special Commissioners OF
the Spanish Government, whose arrival
here some time ago to investigate possi-
bility of the United States buying
Cuba, are in New York at the present
time. They have been to Bar Harbor,
where they had a lengthy conference, or
series Of conferences extending
over three days. with Secre-
tary Blaine. From their ex-
pressions since they have re-
turned to New York Mr.. Blaine gave
them ground for belief that the State
Department would look favorably upon
any proifered negotiation looking to our
purchase Of Cuba, but would not recon-
mend to the President the taking Of the
initiative. Mr.. Blaine's position in
this respect Is due probably to the fact
that the country has already at differ
ent times made several overtures to
Spain for the purchase OF Cuba, which
have invariably been negatived at
Madrid, and it would be throwing
dignity and diplomacy to the winds
to take the initiative again. Spain Is al
ready governed by a Parliamentary body,
and the infant ruler is ruler only in
name. The deposition of Dom Pedro,
OF Brazil, has brought directly home to
the Royal family of Spain the early
probability that Spain will also become
a Republic in reality. The Nation is
sadly in debt, and the Royal revenue
once cut of by revolution, the Royal
family would DO beggared.
The Royalists have seen their
relative, Dom Pedro, beg
CARED by the Brazilian revolution, and
are casting around for means to evade
such fate for themselves. Cuba is the
only hope they have found that they
will not be similarly beggared. II they
can sell Cuba for $500. 600, 900 or even
500, 900, 900 they hope to secure out Of
that smout sufficient sum to provide
for themselves against the inevitable
day when Spain will be pronounced
Republic. Senor Murua said
to reporter when asked
what Spain would take for Cuba that
negotiations had not reached such
a point that he could give figures or talk
about price. Would Spain take $780,
900, ,000?" was asked him. II can say
that am positive Spain would give an
o"er OF $500, 600, 900 serious considera-
tiOn. That amount would enable Spain
to relieve her financial distress and en-
barrassment settle her differences with
other Nations in Europe and take new
and higher place among them"

his wife 214. The defendant denied
the charge, and said her husband
was worthless, and left her attend to all
business. One day she challenged him
to be man or get out: 1t was decided
to settle the difficulty with bare fists in
