ST. Louis the winner.

The Republican national committee de-
cided, at its meeting held in Washington
Tuesday, that the next Republican national
convention shall be held in st. Louis be-
ginning June 16. The decision was reach
ed on the fourth ballot after listening to
several hours of speech making in behalf of
Chicago, Pittsburg and San Francisco, as
well as the winning city. The representa-
tives of the Pacific coast made a great con-
test for San Francisco, and came within
few votes of winning, but the possibility of
their success was hardly considered serious
ly by the Eastern members. The amount
of time required to go and come, and the
cost Of the trip were obstacles too serious
to be overcome with those to whom time
and money are of value.
Chicago did not make so serious a con-
test for the convention as was expected,
and this practically narrowed the choice to
Pittsburg and st. Louis, The selection of
st. Louis is graceful recognition of the
growing strength of the Republican party
in Missouri, and will have favorable in
fuence, net only in that state, but in Ken
lucky, Tennessee, West Virginia and Mary
land, which have now partially or alto
gether broken away from their old Bour-
bon allegiance. 1t will put new courage
into the hearts of Republicans in other
Southern states, and do away forever with
the old slur that the Republican party is a
sectional party.

Lord Dunraven MrecIted,

The White Star line steamer Germanic,
which sailed from Liverpool Wednesday
for New York, came into collision soon
after leaving the Mersey with the Glasgow
steamer Cumbrae, inward bound for Liver
pool. The Cumbrae was sunk and the
Germanic's bows were stove. The acci-
dent resulted in no loss of life The Ger
manic rescued the passengers and crew of
the wrecked vessel and returned to Liver
pool. A dense fog prevailed at the time
of the collision. Among the passengers on
the Germanic was Lord Dunraven who
was on his way to New York to meet the
New York Yacht club in regard to the
charges made by him of fraud in the meas
urement of the Defender at the time of the

OHRIsTIAN yyoRKERs.

The conference of Christian workers at
the Baptist church Wednesday was the
first gathering of just this character held
by the Windham county Baptist associa-
ton, and it proved to be an exceedingly
helpful and suggestive meeting. It's pur-
pose was to discuss methods of work, in
special preparation for the series of serv-
ices which usually follow the week of
prayer in January. The morning and af-
ternoon sessions were held in the chapel
and had a good attendance, though a much
larger number was present at the evening
service in the audience room. The speak
ers at the forenoon session we're Rev. r.
f. Mitchell on "The workers self-prepara-
tion;" Gen. j. j. Estey on chow to talk
to the uncOnverted;" and Rev. j. Nobbs
on "Hindrances and helps to revivals."
In the afternoon Rev. A. A. Smith and
Rev. II. E. Buffum, whose names we're on
the program, were not present, but Rev.
N. II. Hartman, who is just home from
period of evangelistic work in Tacoma,
Wash, spoke very helpfully. The address
of Rev. r. 7. Alger, "How to get power
from on high" gave the keynote to the
afternoon thought. The "open to all' rela-
tion Of experiences in revival work was an
interesting feature of this meeting. The
opening address, OF Lne evening was Dy
Rev. c. D. r. Meacham, his subject being
"The salvation of souls the great aim of
the church," which was followed by
practical and profitable talk by Mrs. L. d.
Temple on "Work with young men," A
thoughtful sermon by Rev. Mr.. Temple
closed the days program. The attend
ance of ministers in the association was
very general. In addition to those whose
names appear on the program Rev. Mr..
Francis of South Windham and Rev. F.
S. Smith of West Brattleboro were pres
ent, and several churches were represented
by members, in addition to their pastors.
1t is expected that similar meetings will be
held at intervals with the different churches
of the county. The new singing books,
which have just arrived, were used in the
services of Wednesday, Messrs. Hawley
and Hall acting as leaders.

The university city of Cambridge, Mass,
which has been without a liquor saloon
for nine years, celebrated its tenth annual
victory Tuesday by throwing majority of
1903 for no-license. This is more than
twice its last years majority and nearly
twice the largest majority it has ever
thrown. The result is particularly graft
flying, since the fight has to be made every
year, because it shows how the public SEN
timent of the city, when thoroughly
aroused, endorses the no-lcense policy as
judged by its results.

GEN. Harrison a Candidate.

An Indianapolis despatch of the 18th
says: All doubt as to ex-President Harri-
sons active candidacy for the Republican
nomination for President was removed to-
day by his political managers, who tele-
graphed to the Planters Hotel, St. Louis,
engaging 30 rooms for Harrison headquar-
ters during the national Republican conven-
ton. 1t is not denied that the ex-presi-
dent is fully conversant with the arrange
ments that have been made, and has given
them his tacit approval.

warranted the wheel for 80 years. The
wheel is not beyond repair, but will prob
ably not be used this winter and the grist
mill will lie idle in consequence.

he got in the House Tuesday for his speech
at Edinburg, and his remarks about the

Even the London papers say that his re-

making in foreign country The out

at the British embassy in Washington, and
it is understood that it was read to Mr..
Olney by the British minister last Saturday.
No authorized statement of its contents has
been made, but the rumor is current in
Washington that England insists first of
all that the Schomburgk line must be main
tanned and that she will not submit this to
arbitration. The story is current, more
over, that England has demanded of Vene-
zuela e12,000as indemnity for the arrest
of two policemen on the disputed territory.

Representative Grout Of this district that
the business men of the District of Colum-

his reappointment by Speaker Reed to his
old place at the head of the committee on
district affairs. The place is an onerous
one, requiring good head for business af-
fairs and no end of hard work, and it is be-
cause Gen. Grout did the work so well dur
ing the 51st Congress that the people of
the district want him reappointed. 1t is
understood that as matter of personal
preference Gen. Grout would choose to re-
main on the committee on appropriations.

a startling evidence of the extent to
which our wheat trade with Germany has
suffered by the competition of the Arsen-
tine Republic, and an Illustration of how
international trade may be destroyed by
a tariff war, Is contained in report to the
State Department by Frank H. Mason.
United States consul general at Frankfort,
upon the German wheat imports for the
past three years. In 1892 the United States
shipped to Germany 6,302, 130 tons of
wheat; the next year this dropped to
31l92S2 tons, and in 1894 the imports We're
but 800, $50 tons. Meanwhile Argentine

Of this trade, for the imports of wheat
from that country into Germany, amount
ing in 1892 to but 661 ,G97 tons, had swelled
in 1893 to 1,513,961 tons, and in 1874 10
3,196, 100 tons.
In 1893 Russia and Germany engaged in
a tariff war. In consequence the imports
of Russian wheat into Germany, which
we're 2,512,991 tons in 1892, dropped sud-
denly in 1893 to 216,362 tons. But, as show
ing the promptness with which they re-
covered their normal proportions when the
temporary restriction was removed, the re-
port shows that in 1894, peace having been
restored, the Russian wheat imports into
Germany reached 1854, 45o tons.

A SHORT CUT.
A Bill Giving Title to Public Lands To
NOn-Resfdent EntrymcH.

A Bill Giving Title to Public Lands to
NOn-Resfdent Entrymcn.
Under construction placed upon Sec
ton of the act of September -, 1890, re-
lating to land grant forfetures. purchase
of land was allowed to be made by parties
as settlers without requiring them to show
actual residence, they having met other
requirements, as fencing, cultivation, etc.
In subsequent decision of the Secretary
of the Interior. made November 3, 1893, 1t
was held that actual residence must be
shown, and under that ruling many entries
are ROW held for cancellation, although the
entrymen stand on precisely the same foot
ing as those who have long since received
patents. The House committee on public
lands deening this unjust, has reported a
bill giving those entrymen who from any
cause may have been unable to complete
purchase the same rights and privileges
accorded to their more fortunate brethren.
The bill is favored by the commissioner of
the general land office, but is opposed by
the Secretary of the Interior, who holds
that 20 accord to persons the right to pur-
chase by merely taking possession of and
improving such lands, without requiring
residence thereon, would be to grant a
privilege that is not conferred upon the
homestcader as to any other part of the
public domain.

of age, was taken from the ruins probably
fatally injured. Charles Eagle, young
white boy, sixteen years old, had his leg
broken, and severely injured about the

colored boy, also had his leg broken, and
amputation will probably he necessary.
Immediately after the fire was discovered
an alarm was given, and in an exceedingly
shcrt time persons from all parts of the
town were in attendance. With the limited
supply of water at hand everything that
VaS possible was done to save goods and
furniture. Three trains passing during the
prevalence of the fire furnished water. and
by this means the depot, which was con-
stantly in danger was saved. AS 1t was,
the platform only suffered any damage.
Mr.. Welsh estimates his loss at $4,000, and
the loss to Mr.. Rabbit will amount to s., 800.
