the doors being open to the various con-
testing delegations. This concluded, the
committee began its afternoon session be-
hind closed doors An eager crowd choked
up the corridors leading to the committee
room and awaited the announcement of
the results
The first important question of the ses-
sion was the fixing of the date of the CON
yentiOn. The executive committee report
cd resolution favoring June 49, This
was amended by Committeeman Lannan
Of Utah in favor of August 8. There was
a sharp debate, and Mr.. De Young of Cal
ifornia finally proposed compromise be-
tween June and August-viz., July. The
De Young and Lannan amendments were
both defeated, and then by practically
unanimous vote the date was fixed at
June 49,
Then came the main contest between
the cities. There was much excitement as
the balloting proceeded, the committee
men from the interested sections hurrying
about and seeking to effect combinations.
At the outset San Francisco secured one
more than the 10 claimed from the FIRST.
The announcement of her lead was greeted
with enthusiasm when it reached the
outer corridors. The strength of St Louis
was somewhat greater than had been ex-
pected, while neither Pittsburg nor Chi
cago made the showing anticipated. St.
Louis gained steadily on each ballot San
Francisco sought TO meet this by drawing
the votes of Chicago, but without avail
The first serious break occurred when Da-
vid Martin of Pennsylvania led the Pitts
burg forces toward st. Louis On the
fourth and last formal ballot San Francis
co.'s forces broke for the first time, Michi-
gan, Wyoming and Connecticut going to
St Louis. That settled it and gave st
Louis the convention. The choice was
made unanimous on motion of Mr.. DE
Young of San Francisco.

At the regular monthly meeting of
the section of astronomy and physics Of
the New York Academy Of Sciences,
Professors Rees and Jacoby and Charles
Post read papers attacking the alleged
discoveries of lines and canals ON the
planet Mars. The attacks were princi-
pally directed against Percival Lowell
of Boston, who while at Flagstaff, A.
T., claimed to have seen the same lines
and canals discovered on the planet by
Signor Schiaparelli in Italy. After the
reading there was a general discussion,
and the conclusion arrived at was that
these people were romancers and not as
tronomers. The academy therefore dis
oarded the theory Of canals and lines on
the planet Mars until such time as they
could be seen more plainly, or at least
by greater number Of persons.

POTATOES As FeED FoR STOCK

POTATOES Ag FEED Enp cTnCk
opinions Expressed ON the Subject BY En-
inent Authorities In such Matters.
The big potato crop and the couse-
quent low prices all over the country
have forced many farmers TO consider
the feeding value of potatoes as they
never did before. Even though grain is
also cheap and abundant, it can be
stored and fed i'm subsequent seasons,
while, however large the potato crop
may he, it viii all have disappeared by
next July. It may be economy, there
fore, under certain circumstances to feed
the potatoes and hold the grain. Here
are a few facts about potatoes as stock
food From the chemists standpoint,
the comparative values Of different foods
would be about as follows

The Democratic caucus over the four
appointees allowed the minority was
more hotly contested and more exciting
than the average election for speaker.
The principal contest was between Isaac

geant-at-arms. Ike Hill, who has held
the place for many years, was extremely
