Bath, New York, writes that a similar
feat took place in that town in 1916,
and was accomplished in less than nine
hours by one George Mcclure, who
asserted that it could be done in ten

SELECTING DELEGATES.
Subcommittee on Rules Hold a
Meeting.

ST. LOUIS, June 1.-THE sub-commit-
tee of seven appointed at last nights
meeting of the committee on rules met to-
night TO consider the resolutions offered
at the general meeting last night by Gen
eral Powell Clayton, providing that some
better method of selecting delegates
should be adopted by the convention, and
also to take up the matter of the basis
of representation in future national con-
Ventions. 1t was decided to recommend
TO the general committee on rules for re-
commentator to the convention the fol-
lowing resolutions:
Resolved. That district representation
in future national Republican conven-
lions shall be based upon the vote cast in
each district for the Republican electoral
tickets. Provided that the district shall
have at least one delegate and each state
shall have four delegates -at-large. The
ratio for district representation in the
convention of 1900 shall be one delegate
for each 1000 Republican votes poiled this
year for the party electoral ticket with
an additional delegate for fraction ex-
cee1ing half thereof. In case any state
entitled TO more than one member of con-
gress has not been divided into congress
sional districts, its representation shall
be ascertained by dividing the electoral
vote for the entire state by 1000. Here
after each national convention shall fix
the ratio of representation for the sue
ceeding national convention

was that the best method would be 10 al

FACE OF M'KINLEY.
1t Was the Principal Feature In
Last Nights Parade.

ST. LOUIS, June 17.-Wednesdey
night of the convention week was some
time ago marked on the programme OF
the Mckinley boomers for torchlight
parade, to demonstrate the popularity
of his candidacy. Unfortunately for
the plans of the Buckeye enthusiasts,
a sharp thunder shower swept across
the city about the dinner hour and
then resolved Itself into a. dg-enching
rain, which kept up throughout the
evening and made marching an exceed
ingly disagreeable and slippery expert
ment The elements were discouraging,
but nevertheless the managers of the
affair determined 20 to carry out their
programme, and they did SO, although
several organizations which had been
billed for the affair declined at the last
moment to imperil their uniforms by
the rain. and those which did march
went into line with reduced numbers.
Despite these drawbacks, the display
was an interesting and unique one.
Barrels of red fire were burned along
the line of march and sky rockets were
profuse. The feature of the march,
however, was the face Gf Major Nc

blossomed over the marchers and were
elevated from carriages through the

turnout was twenty minutes passing

popular enthusiasm was provoked by
the Crfoan flag which had a place all
to itself in the line, bearing the watch
word Cuban Libre,' and was followed
by a wave of cheers peculiar in their

A Los ANGELEs HARBoR.

The southwest portion of the United
States needs a deep sea harbor A
deep sea harbor accessible to Los
Angeles would make that city the com
mercial capital of Utah, southern Ne
vada, Arizona, New Mexico and the
lower half of California. With a deep
sea fiarbor the ocean would become a
factor in the commercial and Industrial
prosperity of the territory named. A
deep sea llarbor would attract by the
force of natural gravity an overland
railroad, of which such ocean harbor
would be the ocean terminus With
this splendid prize in view, it is marvel
Gus that the people of Los Angeles
should refuse any assistance that is
proffered in the way of accomplishing
results.
Much of the opposition to the con-
struction of a breakwater at Santa
Monica, which would convert that open
roadstead into a protected harbor is
said to arise oft of the fact that the
Southern Pacific company has con-
structed a splendid wharf at that
point, and has thereby made Port Los
Angeles the terminus and natural
ocean outlet of the southern portion
of its great system. The intellectual
and moral feebleness which would not
perceive in this single fact a great
opportunity for the accomplishment Of
a public enterprise is to be pitied If not
despisad. Every monument ever rear
ed to human enterprise andenergy has
arisen despite the efforts of ignorance,
prejudice and selfishness. We earnest
ly hope our southern friends will OBJ
tain a deep sea harbor. Until they do,
theirs will be a case of arrested de-
velopment. Ignorance, prejudice and
selfishness, however, will not win for
them this prize. A greater breadth of
intelligence and its natural concomtt-
ant liberality will be necessary to the
accomplishment of that result-Over-
