WASHINGTON WAS DEFEATED.
The Republican National Leaxue
HeadGunrters to Stay Mt Chicaro.


Headquarters to Stay at Chicago.
The headquarters Of the Republican Ma
tional League will continue In Chicago fou
the next two years. The Chicago men won
a decisive victory at the meeting of the ex-
ecutive committee. despite the fact that
the general officers of the committee favor
ed removal to Washington.
The vote by which Chicago was retained
was follows:
For Chicago-Henry NJ Cooper, Arkan-
sas; Albert Campbell. Illinois; F. r. Como
way, Iowa; John Goodnow, Minnesota: b
C. Gray. Kansas; Percy +. Powers Michi.
gan; Albert NJ Lee. Mississippi; T. Eng.

New York; H. H. Rand, Wisconsin-11.
For Washngton-L. J.. Crawford. Ken
lucky; George w. Ruch. Pennsylvania;
Charles H: Burke. South Dakota: Charles
President. Gen. e. e. McAlpine, New
York; secretary. NJ. j. Bowling. Minnesota; j;
treasurer, A. T. Bliss, Michigan, who were
said to be in favor of Washington, did not
vote.
Ex-Secretary A. B. Humphrey of New
York. who was a chief factor in moving
the headquarters to Chicago, two years
ago, was again on the side of the western
city. Mr.. Humphrey asserted that Chicago
was the best adapted location in the Unit
ed States for political headquarters. 1t
was the most central and surrounded by
the leading republican states of the coun-
try, including the doubtful ones, in which
the presidential battle Is either lost or won
Mr.. Humphrey was seconded by Mr.. Camp
bell the Illinois representative; Mr.. Good,
now of Minnesota, and Mr.. McWilliams of
the College League.
The committee on educational methods
presented a report which was unanimously
adopted. The Iowa plan of district and
county leagues was recommended; the
Michigan plan of publishing pamphlets on
local issues was commended. The general
officers were instructed to get out a hand
ReDublican al
ventions were favored. and the secretary
was instructed to attend the meetings of
the various state leagues.
AS the question of location of the head
quarters was the principal object of the
meeting, an adjournment followed the af-
ternoon session.

L A N D e D AT L A ST
Edward Conover Convicted Of Writing
Policy.
His Plea of Poverty Did Not Go This
Time-Did Not Want
Counsel.

Assistant District Attorney Mullowny
has at last succeeded in landing In Jail
one of the best known policy men in this
city, and some firm in, Gov. O'Ferralrs
gambling country will no doubt fail to roll
up their regular daily average sum ofWash-
fngton money. Edw. Conover IS the name
OF the man. and not more than two years
ago he escaped punishment by springing a
plea of poverty on the jury. This time he
attempted a repetition Of that dodge, but
1t did not work. for the prosecuting attor-
ney was not SO deeply affected this time
that he refrained from presenting his side
to the jury.
In the other case Conover made a good
showing and succeeded In getting the
sympathy of the jury. When he appeared
in court he did not wear his diamonds, but
was plainly dressed and had but little to
say.
He told the jury that he was penniIess
and that Ills counsel had forsaken him at
the last hour because he could not pay the
fee.
To this plea the jurors listened more at
tentively than they did to the evidence of
more than the usual number of witnesses
heard in the case. When the prosecution
had closed the pauper prisoner refrained
from making statement. as in the light
OF what had happened he did not have the
heart to make a speech to the jury.
The result was that verdict of not
guilty was returned.
But today the prosecutor pursued a differ
ent course. Conover got up and made an
effort to enlist the sympathy of the jury.
he told them that he had retained counsel,
but, as he had no money, he could not ex-
pect him to defend the case
MIR. George Curtis, assistant librarian of
the Capitol law library, was in court.
and he kindly volunteered to defend the
pohcy man, who was apparently without
money or friends but his kindness was all
lost, for Conover promptly declined his Of
fer.
The case proceeded and witnesses were
heard. Among them were Sergeant Daley
and Precinct Detective Hartigan, who told
of the exciting arrest and finding of policy
papers.
Other evidence was heard, and when the
proof was all ir the policy man declined to
go on the stand. He had nothing to say
further than to plead poverty.
Mr.. Mullowny made short argument, in
which he pointed out to the jury the d-
rect evidence in the case, and the jury re-
turned verdict of guilty.
Conover told the court that he had a
family. consisting of a wife and four chill
dren.
Judge Miller thought he had no excuse
whatever for engaging in this business, for
he had had ample warning. He was sen
fenced to sixty days in Jail and was fined
$25O or sixty days additional which is
equivalent to a three months sentence, for
he will get out under the poor convict
act for the non-payment Of the fine.

Will Sir Julian Pauncefote BE Sent to
Pariss

Wash. Cor. New York Tribune.
1t is among the probabilities that the
United States may soon see the last of her
Britannia majesty's popular diplomatic rep
resentative, Sir Julian Pauncefote, 1t is
learned today from private sources that Lord
Dufferin, the British ambassador at Paris.
will shortly retire. The date of his retire
ment is still state secret while the name of
his successor, which is a matter of frequent
speculation in London, is yet unknown. The
embassy at Paris is the most important dip
lomatic post within the gift of the British
foreign office, and it has always been held
by an ambassador of high standing A pre-
ceoent for the transfer of Sir Julian Paunce-
tote from Washington to Paris was created
some years ago, when Lord Lyons, the Brit
ish minister at this point, was sent as her
ma1estys representative to the French
capital While Sir Julian is apparently IS
ignorant of Lord Salisbury's intentions as
any of the other gentlemen directly Interest,"
ed, and declines to discuss the matter, it is
believed that he would not object to the
transfer, which would be marked recoyni-
ton of his long official service. All the deli
cate questions arising between the United
States and Great Britain of late years have
been handled by Sir Julian in a spirit of
great friendliness to the United States, to
when country he Is very partial, and also to
the satisfaction of the London foreign office
He would, it is well known, leave Washing
ton with regret, owing to the agreeable in
tercourse of himself and family with the
American people. Still, it is said, the Brit
ish mission to Paris is like the presidency
OF the United States-no one was ever known
to decline it.

The case of John P. Torbert and others
against Jos. 3. Bennett and others, which
arose out of the election last spring of
vestrymen in St. Marks Episcopal Church,
will probably be heard in the Equity Court
some day next week. The election, it was
claimed. was irregular, and the complain
ants sought. by an injunction. to restrain
the defendants from exercising the rights
and performing the duties of the offices to
which they claimed to have been elected
The complainants filed their petition the
25.h of last June, and the defendants were
required to show cause why they should
not be restrained as prayed. That matter
was heard before Chief Justice Bingham
last July, and he discharged the rule
Thereupon testimony was directed to be
taken by both sides. That has been COM
pleted, and the case is now on the calendar

HAYDEN EDWARDS.

hunters, and harness horses that have been
placed on the New York market in the last few
years have been the result of that method Of
breeding. Thousands OF horses are shipped
monthly from Ontario to England and to
America, and the supply will In the immediate
future fail to com" up to the demand.
In the opinion of some experts there should be
something dono by the American Government
to establish a breed that would come somewhero
near the Austrian standard. The trotter does
not always have size. and many trotters need
artificial appliances to bring out speed.
What is wanted is the horse that will bend
his knee naturally, possess quality. size. and
substance. and. best of all. have enough speed to
make him, when necessary, a train catcher. IL
the Jockey Club would cooperate with tho
farmers OF New York and adjacent States and
send them some of the bruken-down stations
that have the necessary qualifications. In time
and in a short time at that-the benefits would
be seen in the streets.
A great many persons have an idea that the
thoroughbred Is fragile, and that he has not
sufficient size and bone for the heavier tasks
that have TO he performed by his coarser rea-
tive. Two illustrations are given to disprovo
this theory. Hayden Edwards. son of i'm
