REED SUGGESTS WASHINGTON
But Mckinley Is said to Favor st.
Lonis or Chicago.

WASHINGTON, April 16.-Consider-
bale interest is taken in the preferences
of two leading candidates for the loca-
ton of the Republican National Con-
vention. Mr.. Reeds friends. who
have canvassed the question thorough
ly, agree that this city would give him
greater advantage than any other
that might be chosen. Having served
in Congress for eighteen years, and
recently been leader of the Republican
minority, he is known to every resident
of the National Capital, and it is but
natural he should have proportion
of the spectators predlsposed in his
favor. Gov. Mckinley has expressed
his disappPoval of the proposition
and is said to be in favor of Chicago
or St. Louis.

ATLANTA EXPOSITION.
Efforts Being Made 10 Get Local
Public School Exhibit.

The ladies interested N having the Dis
trict represented by an exhibit at the At
lanta exposition had hearing before the
Commissioners this morning for the pur-
pose of devsing ways and means to bring
about the desired result
There were present Mesdames r. S. Bar
rett, Miranda Tullock, c. c. Lancaster,
James McGill and Emily Briggs. Mrs. Bar
rett explained that the ladies were present
to find out what could be done for an eX-
hibit from the District at Atlanta during
the exposition. She suggested a public
school exhibit. mmissioner Ross stated
that Superintendent Powell was heartily in
favor of the proposition, and had album
dant material. Mrs. Tullock said she had
interviewed Mr.. Powell on the subject. but
was quite Gisheartened 10 learn what 4
large sum he thought would be required
to get such an exhibit IN place. She ask
ed the Commissioners If they could help,
but they replied that there was no appro-
priation for such matters. Mrs. Barrett
said she was especially interested in an eX-
hihit showing the educational facilities of
Washington. She was a firm believer III
the public school system, and thought it
we'll nigh perfect III Washington. An eX-
hlbit of that character at Atlanta would
40 much good She had talked the mat
ter over with Secretary Hoke Smith, who
member of the school board of At
lanta before he entered the cabinet, and he
expressed nlmSell warmly IN iGNOr Oh nav
ing an educational exhibit from Washing
ton at the exposition. If the District could
get up an exhibit. there would be a place
for it in the woman's building, or if it was
too large for that place. room could be
made in the building devoted to liberal
arts. When she returned from Atlanta
some time ago, she made arrangements
with the Richmond and Danvills railroad
to transport free of cost all freight from
this City intended exhibits. But first
of air it was necessary TO appoint some
men on the committee. The ladies wanted
them to take the initiative, and they would
lend their earnest support. In this connec-
tion she recommended the appointment of
q committee of eight gentlemen to assist
in the work.
The Commissioners promised their hearty
corporation in the work. and President
Warner of the board of trade said he was
certain the board would assist if it We're
possible.

GLASGOW. May lion her outward
voyage to the Mediterranean the Aisa
started a good many sheets of her copper
forward, quite a new experience, and the
explanation accepted was that the long
overhang forward had weakened the yes
sci and permitted some working of the
steel frames and planking. This weak
ness has been provided against in Flies
new forty Isolde by running the fin off in
an easy curve into the forefoot and stiff
fening the overhang. The need for altera
tions in the Ailsa points to the inherent
weakness of the up-to-date build, greatly
aggravated by the wrenching leverage of
the low-hurg and heavy lead keel. There
is a rumor that whether she is faster than
the new Nalkyrie or not the Ailsa will
cross the Atlantic in the autumn to be
present at the international matches.
If the Ailsa is faster than Valkyrie it will
evidently take her all her time to cross the
Atlantic. where there is no running away
from a gale. But Valkyrie may be in no
better position. The defender, Vigiant,
made a record passage across the Atlantic,
but her centerboard could be housed like
her topmast5. If her centerboard had
seventy tons of lead attached to 1T it could
not have been housed in which case. the
Nigilant would have been another sort of
cutter in an Atlantic gale But both the
Ailsa and the new Valkyrie are built in
centerboard fashion. with some seventy
tons of lead attached to her fin keels, and
neither cutter can be comfortably kicked
about in gale.
However. the progress of yacht building
and the determination to win back the
Americas cup leaves no alternative but to
cross the Atlantic in challenger which
can hardly be described as seaworthy. The
struggle to regain the cup has nearly
reached a point where the risk to human
life outweighs all the glory to be attained.
If the coming struggle does not bring the
cup this side of the Atlantic the cup
will most probably remaip on your side for
the future, since no possible interpreta-
tion of sport can be confounded with
hazards to human life involved in the
building of challengers untitled to face
Atlantic weather.
Had the original donors of the cup been
able to foresee the troubles ahead bound
up with the progress of yacht designing
they would have undoubtedly included In
the instructions of their deed of gift
clause preventing dangerous novelties in
building from competing.
