Our new and almost unanimously
Republican Council made a sad exhibit
ton Of itself last night as start in
city legislation. Among other sins
of omission and commission in its
four hours session last night, it tabled
the excellent recommendation of the
Joint meeting of the Committee on
Lights and the Gas Board for the APP
pointment of committee to make a
valuation of the Wheeling Electrical
Company's plant, with view TO the
city's purchase Of the same, in order
that she might manufacture and sell
electric light TO the people as she does
gas and thus recoup her gas finances
and save her valuable plant The plan
would also give the people cheaper and
better electric light. But the new
Council. without even discussing the
merits or dement's of the proposition,
promptly adopted a motion to lay it on
the table. 1t now remains for these
solons to provide another way to get
the city out of the deep and deepening
financial hole it is in.

The stockholders of the Metropolitan
Athletic Club held a meeting yesterday
afternoon. and unanimously elected
Ted Alexander, the well known Aus
tralian sporting man, as manager or
the club. Alexander will have charge
of all the matches. and his wide ac-
quaintance among the boxers of Amer
lea, as we'll as his reputation as a
matchmaker, will insure some good
contests for the club. The first con-
test to take place will be on May 7th,
between Gallagher, of Pittsburg, and
Parry. of Homestead. Alexander is
also trying to arrange a preliminary
ten round go" for a decision, between
Billy Dooley, the Californian, and
Cochran, of Pittsburg, both light
weights.
The selection of Alexander as man.
ager of the club takes that difficult
position out of the hands of the stock
holders, and the organization scores a
"ten-strike.' The Australian is a
valuable acquisition to the officials OF
the club. He has been in this country
about four years, and has made one
trip to the Antipodes in that time. He
brought Young Critic (Alfred Grittiths)
to this country and trained him for his
battle with Lavigne, at Roby, lnd.,
which was stopped by the officers. He
also brought George Dawson here.
Dawson is now boxing instructor in the
biggest and wealthiest athletic club in
the world. in Chicago In addition to
the boxers mentioned, Alexander was
instrumental in bringing Joe Goddard
and Jim Barran to the United States,
and has managed them at different
times.
THE only change l will make before
the Parry Gallagher contest said
Alexander last night, will be in the
ring, which is not regulation size at
present. l am already in correspond
ence with a number of good Eastern
boxers. and think l can induce one OF
them to meet Marshall. Indeed, it is
not improbable that Marshall and
Dixon will meet in the ring at Fulton.
While I am at the head of the club, it
will be my aim to conduct all the en-
tertainments in a gentlemanly way.
No rowdyism will be tolerated, and the
contests will be between good boxers
and all on the up and up The club
house is too small at present, and l
am authorized to say that it will be en-
larged if the patronage justifies it

The Kohlsaat newspaper rumor has
finally found a landing place. The
death of James w. Scott left the Chi
cago Tines Herald without a head and
Mr.. Kohlsaat quickly gobbled up that
valuable property. The Times-Herald,
which has heretofore been Democratic,
will be run by Mr.. KOhlsaat, who is a
Republican and a protectionist, in ac-
Cordance with his political belief. 1t
remains to be seen what effect this COM
plete change in principle and policy
will have upon its popularity and sue
cess. The field Of Republican jour-
nalism in Chicago would seem to be al
ready pretty well filled.

CARTER HAS NOT DECIDED
Date and Place for the National
Committee Meeting Not Fixed.
1t Is KnO wn That He FavOrs an Early
Convention, But Other Members
Want Short Campaign. .

Chairman Thomas II. Carter, of the Re-
publican National Committee. teiegraphs
the United Press to-day, in answer to an
inquiry, that he has not decided when the
committee will be called together to decide
upon the date and place of the next na-
tional convention, or in what city they will
assemble,
ton, as usual. will be selected as the place
of meeting not only of the Republican COM
mi.tce. but of the Democratic national COM
mittee 8 well.
Senator Carter, personally. has favored
an early meeting of the Republican na-
tional convention. not later than May of
next year. but the suggestion has met
with considerable opposition.
The sentiment of members, generally. SO
far as it has found expression. is favorable
to brief but spirited campaign. in which
the speech making shall be limited to a
period not exceeding ninety days.
When Senator Carter was in this city a
short time since he intimated that the
National Committee would be called to
meet here some tS. - Iring the month of
October, and il date is fixed after No
vember 1 it will be solely due to the solici-
tation of his associates on the committee.
An early meeting of the committee does
not necessarily mean an early convention.
but simply the elapsing OF longer period
between the twogatherings The committee
might meet in October, and the convention
be held in july

which the press of your city reinforces the

very desirable.
The kindly Invitation which comes to
me from people OF all religions and from
many institutions in your city is iuily
T. DE WITT TALMAGE.
1t is not probable that DR.. Talmages
relations in any other city could be as
pleasant as here. This Ia proved by the
grand ovation given him upon his visit here
some months ago. At. DR.. Easton's church,
when he preached in the morning. hundreds
were turned away and at DIR. sunderland's
at night he spoke to an overflow meeting
in the street amid outbursts OF enthusiasm.
Both DIR. Easton and DIR. Sunderland spoke
of him TO their people in terms of the most
affectionate friends ship. He has many
more close personal friends here and the
love of nearly all of his own denomination
and the respect of thousands in other sects.
1t is likely he would find fewer harsh
critics and less opposition here than in
any other city of the same size in any Eng
disappearing land.
The only offer among many mentioned
that can be expected to attract him away
from Washington is that of n pulpit with
ample support in the metropolis of the
world, London.
