The Question Of Representation
in Republican National
Convention
Will Probably Be Agitated in the
Coming Gathering at
St. Louis.
As at Present Arranged the
Party Vote Cuts No
Figure.

WASHINGTON June THE question
of the basis OF representation in future
conventions Is again TO be agitated at
the Republican convention at St Louis
AT present the representation in both
the Democratic and Republican conven-
tions is based upon the congressional
representation from each state, no &C.
count being taken of the party vote in
the states, The scheme of basing the
representation in Republican conven-
tions on the Republican vote in each
state was brought before the convention
in 1884, by General Ewing of Pennsyl-
vania, who proposed that the represen-
tation be based upon the Republican
vote cast in each district. 1t was bit
terly opposed by the Southern dele
gates, led by Congressman Lynch
Of Mississippi, who claimed that the
proposed change was unfair because the
Republican vote in the South was sup
pressed. In 1892 the Southern vote was
potent factor in determining the re-
suit, and in the succeeding summer N.
B. Scott, the West Virginia member Of
the national committee, at a meeting of
the committee offered resolution to
provide representation OH the basis of
one delegate for each 1000 Republican
votes by congressional districts. Action
on the resolution was not taken. The
matter will again be brought to the at
tention of the committee by Mr. Scott
when it meets in St. Louis June 8.

THE NEUTRALITY
Observed in American Ports Is an Odit
Fiction, Says the Imparcial.

Observed in American Ports is an Odious
Fiction, Says the Imparciai.
MADRID, Oct. 19.-The impartial says
that Spain should demand from the
United States an explanation of the
dispatch from Washington published
by the New York Herald to the effect
that unless Spain ends the war in Cuba
by January 1, President Cleveland
will recognize the independence Of
the insurgents. The Impartial
adds that the neutrality observed
at the ports of the United States is an
odious fiction and that there is con-
tinual conniving at filibustering. 1t
says the United States consul general
at Havana protected a Spanish de-
serter at Havana and concludes: If
Spain should remain alone in con-
fiict with the United States, Spaniards
by their own effortx will know how to
mark the differcnse between the noble
defendants Of til II own property and
the vile traffickers at Washington.

Japan Up to Date.

Japan is going ahead. Its first big
swindle is really very creditable piece
Of roguery for such young nation. Mr..
Hamano, the member of the diet and
pastor of the Greek church at Tokyo,
who is also president of the Japan Cast
Iron company, belongs to politico-re-
ligious type already familiar in the older
haunts Of commercial morality. The
municipality Of Tokyo had decided tc
undertake waterworks system, and had
obtained subsidy from the government
Of 5000, 900 yen in aid Of the total es
innate Of $4,000, 900. In patriotic me
ment some of this outlay of japanese
money on water pipes was kept for the
Japan Cast Iron company, but the result
has only been to artificially foster for
eign rather than home industries.
Bya most ingenious device about 800
tons of defective pipes were laid after
they had been rejected by the clerk Of
the works, and the Tokyo citizens, it is
estimated, thereby suffer loss of about
1000, 900 yen.
The officials of the company are now
awaiting trial-which apparently does
not prevent the newspapers in Japan
from assuming their guilt, st James
Gazette.
