The Is votes Travis county was ell
titled to were cast as follows:
Ogden s, Burnett u, Quincy 10, Fer
guson 9 10, Hancock 10, Stern Z, Nc
Daniel II 10, Rector IS 1-2, Burbage
3, Asbury 1-2, Crawford 10 1-2, Ros-
enthal 1-2, Flanagan 3 and Chase l..
The total number of votes cast was
CAB, making 800 necessary for choice,
resulting in the election of Quincy,
Mcdaniel, Rector and Rosenthal.
Mr.. Quincy then came to the front of
the stage and announced that he was
of the opinion that the secretary had
made mistake in footing up the vote
and asked that it be verified, which it
was proceeded to do.
The verification Of the vote resulted
in the election of Crawford, q mistake
having been made in casting up his
vote.
The second ballot was then proceed
ed with for the selection of the three
remaining delegates, and resulted in
the election of Asbury, Chase and
Furguson.
The scene in the hall on the an
nouncing of the vote was beyond de-
scription. The delegates mounted
the chairs and throwing their hats
high in the air yelled and cheered
loud enough to be heard to the river.
The delegates are evenly divided as
to the color line, four of them being
whites and four negroes.
Amidst the greatest confusion the
convention then adjourned at l:25
a. m. until 8 O'Clock this morning,
when the eight alternates will be
chosen,

DINGLEY,s SPEECH.


Mr.. Dingley of Maine, opened thu
debate in behalf of the Republican
side in opposition to the Democratic
tariff bills. If the gentleman from
Tennessee represents in his speech anC
his recent North American Review
article the views and purposes of The
Democratic party as to tariff legisla
ton, and L have no doubt he does
then the three sporadic bills reported
by the Democratic majority Of tht
ways and means committee and now
before that committee as tariff reform
schemes of q Democratic house con
tanning $40 Democratic majority
afford the most striking exhibition o
vasCillating policy before q presi
Dental election. Mr.. Dingley defend
ed the Mckinley act eloquently and a
length.
He argued that the three bills pro
posed by the Democratic majority o.
the ways and means committee cOulC
result in nothing but injury to the
farmer. The free wool bill, he said
proposed free trade for the most uni
versal products of the farm and con
tinued protection for the manufacture
of wool. 1t would certainly reduce
the price and destroy the wool in
dustry. Before the conclusion of Mr.
Dingley's speech, the committee rose
and the house adjourned, the debate
to be resumed tomorrow and continue
five or six weeks, with occasional in
terruptions of two or three days fO1

BEHRIFG SEA DISPUTE


WASHINGTON, March 9.-The pres
ident today sent to the Senate the
correspondence in regard to the Ben
ring Sea question, covering the Pc
Rod from April 20, 1891, to date. Of
recent correspondence the most i'm
pOrtant letters are two from Sir Julian
Pauncefote, under date February 20
and March 7, and reply sent yester-
day. In the note of February 20 Sir
Julian informs Secretary Blaine that
Lord Salisbury does not admit, as
previously indicated by Mr.. Blaine,
that delays have been greater on the
part of Great Britain than the United
States. He says the British commits
sioners have reported there was no
danger Of serious diminution of seals
and therefore the necessity of the
mOdus Vivendi was not apparent.
Still he would not object to prohibit
tion limited to a zone not more than
thirty miles around Pribyloff Islands,
provided the catch on the islands
was limited to 10000. In the note
of March 7 Sir Julian presents furth-
er arguments in support of Lord Sails
bury's refusal to accede to another
modus vivendi. In the response sent
yesterday Assistant Secretary Whar-
ton calls attention to the fact that the
treaty arbitration awaits only the ac-
ton of the American senate, and that
the Judgment of the arbitration trib.
unal cannot be stated in time to con-
troll the conduct of sealers during the
present season. The urgent question
he says, is what constitutes good
faith, to say nothing about what in.
ternational comfy requires of parties
to arbitrations. Was it ever heard
before, he says, that one party to such
controversy, whether nation OF al
individual, could appropriate the
whole or any part of the income and
profits, much less the body of the con
tested property, pending litigation
without accountability
1t is no answer for trespasser. it is
contended, to say the true owner will
have an undiminished harvest peXt
year. Last years harvest is his also
and further this government has al
ready been advised that Great Britain
repudiates all obligations to indem
Nifty to the United States for any in.
vasion of its jurisdiction or injury tC
sealing property by Canadian sealers
In conclusion it is stated that this
government will honorably abide by
the judgment of the arbitrary tribunal
which has been agreed upon, whether
that judgment be favorable or unfav.
orable, and not seek to avoid its Just
responsibility for any acts which by
that Judgment may be found to be un
lawful. But certainly the United
states cannot be expected to suspend
her defense by such means as within
its power of the property and jurisdic
tional rights are claimed by it, pend
ing arbitration, and consent to receive
them from that tribunal, if awarded
shorn of much of their value by the
acts of irresponsible persons.

The Standard Dictionary.

We have received from Messrs. Funk
& WagnallS, of New York, the prospec-
tus and specimen pages of their new
dictionary, the STANDARD" After care
full examination the greatest scholars
and linguists of America and England
have pronounced the name most APP
propiate one The Dictionary contains
1900 pages, each being slightly larger
than that of the latest revision of Web
ster, 1000 illustrations and 200, 600 words.
10000 more than are in any other single
volume dictionary. The Dictionary is
oil Worcester's, but the combined labor
of over one hundred of the best scholars
of the world each one treating the subs
feet which he has made his life long
stu ly. The plan of the Dictionary il.
many instances is different from the
oil methods, but such a master of the
language as John j. Ingalls, says every
variation is an improvement. One of its
most important advantages seems to us
to be the giving of the definitions
right after the word, thus enabling the
busy man to find what he wants and
avoid wading through the mass of ETY.
mology and linguistic history which
Webster and Worcester place before the
definition. Special attention has been
! paid to the difficult subject of compound
words, and by an admirable system of
grouping the publishers are able to give
an abundance of particulars under each
head which is impossible in any other
dictionary. Disputed pronunciations
and spellings are referred to a committee
of representative scholars, but in every
case the favorite method of other lexi-
cographers is given. An Appendix is
added which affords the most exhaustive
and varied information. The typo
graphical get-up of the book is equal to
the best. and, all in all, it is the best
single volume dictionary that can be
