SERGEANT-AT-ARMS CHOSEN
To Preserve Order at the Republican
Convention
Then All the nembers OF the Sub. COMMITTEE
Dius With Committeeman kerens.
Business for Today

Sr. LOUIS, Jan. 2O.-The subcommittee
of the Republican national committee ap.
pointed to attend to the details of the
coming convention at St. Louis met at the
Southern hotel this forenoon to confer with
the special committee appointed by the
Business Mems league.
Chairman Carter of the national COM
mittee was unable to be present, and his
proxy was held by Mr.. Manley.
The first matter to come up was the Sc
lection of a sergeaTit-at-arIns for the con-
vention. There were four candidates for
this position, all of whom were on the
ground. The name of George W. Wiswell
of Wisconsin, who had the support of the
prominent Republicans of that state, was
presented by John Ewing. James S. Clark
son nominated Timothy F. Byrnes of
Minneapolis, member of the executive
committee of the National League of Re-
publican clubs, and w. w. johnson of
Baltimore had the support of Chairman
Manley. Frank Buchanan. an eX-United
States marshal for the eastern district of
Missouri, was nominated by Richard G.
Kerens of st. Louis.
The contest was very close between
Messrs. Byrnes and Wiswell, who received
an equal number of votes on the first in
formal ballot. Mr.. johnson was given one
vote, but on the next ballot, which was the
first formal one taken, it was cast for
Byrnes and elected him. The ballot stood
four for Byrnes and three for Wiswell.
1t turned ont later, when Chairman Car
ter's answer to Mr.. Manley's letter was re-
ceived, that it was only a communication
stating that he could not be present at the
meeting and was not a proxy, so that gen.
tleman was not represented here. This
reduced the working force of the commit
tee to seven votes.
AT l o'clock the committee adjourned for
lunch and when the members reassembled
an hour later conference was had behind
closed doors, with Samuel Kennard, presi-
dent, and w. H. Thompson, n member of
the Business Mems league of St. Louis.
Nothing was done but to look over the plans
for altering the interior of part of the EX-
position building where the convention
will be held. Isaac Taylor, a prominent
charge, explained them in detail and to-
will visit the Exposition building, and what
ever changes are TO be made up it will then
be decided. Chairman Maney, who has
come here authorized to make aid execute
any contracts necessary to carry out the
plans of lhe two committees, will finish up
everything tomorrow after the matter of
the hall is finished.
This evening all the members of the sub
committee of the national Republican COM
mittee and a number of visiting Republi-
cans wers entertained at dinner at the
home of Richard G. Kerens, the Missouri
committeeman.

VIII Not Prevent His Taking a Tour Of

New YORK, Jan. 20.-A special to the
World from Washington says: DR.. Rocker,
secretary of the papal legation, speaking
for Cardinal Satolli about report that his
eminence would leave for Rome about
February 10th, and that Mgr. Grasselli
had been selected to succeed him as repre-
sentative of the pope, said last night:
mo information, official or unofficial,
has been received here as to the date of
Cardinal Satolli's recall to Rome. The
cardinal himself does not anticipate leav-
ing the United States for six or seven
months yet, although of course his recall
may come at any time. He would probably
have been notified before now if there had
been any intention TO appoint his successor
so early. We have heard no suggestion as
to who will succeed him. Mgr. Grasselli's
name is the first mentioned. Satoll has
made arrangements to start on February
18th on tour of the south and southwest.

he has made no attempt to cancel the EN-

that could be called appalling.
The Chronicle in an editorial rejoices
over the news of the signing of the Bering
sea treaty as an event of happy omen,
proving that reason still sways the Anglo
American races. asks why the Vene'

"We can see nothing in the Davis reso-

form of the doctrine, or which prevents
arbitration OH Venezuela"
The Chronicle thinks Europe will lose
substantially nothing by Americas as
sumption of doctrine involving such
heavy responsibilities.

LONDON, Jan. 2O.-The Times gives great
prominence in its columns to q letter
signed "A Foreigner" discussing the rea-
SONS why England is hated. Its import
ance lies in the fact that the writer 10

self as the only champion of the British
cause who has been found in Europe dur
ing the present crisis. The following
shows the tenor of his maiesty's letter:
''As one who has taken during q half
century the keenest interest in English
politics, and who has always followed with
great admiration the spirit of enterprise.
unfiinching love of liberty and great
achievements of your nation all over the
world. l cannot express my establishment
that not only Americans, Turks and Beers,
but nearly all the nations of Europe and
Asia, manifest great animosity toward
Great Britain. and l very naturally ask
that unanimous hatred and what 10 tho
reason they all pour the vials OF their
wrath upon the English?
"Success has in all times engendered
envy and animosity, and particularly II
this success is the outcome of national
qualities in which the others are lacking.
Germany, France and Russia, in compar-
ing their gigantic military budget with the
comparatively small outlay in England for
her defense, must certainly feel vexed, and
still more will their respective people envy
the British citizen, who does not feel the
burden of compulsory military service and
still enjoys the liberty, might and power OF
the greatest empire that ever existed.
''The Russian, like all Asiatics, is care
fully hiding his feelings. He initiates the
Englishman in habits and manners. He
acknowledges his mental superiority. In
appearance he respects him ever, but more
deep-seated are his hatred and his efforts
to oust him in Asia. In Germany the rela-
tion is totally different. Since 1870 the
formerly modest, quiet, inoffensive Ger
man has fallen into the vice of self-admir-
alton, and one has only to mention the
spreading of the English language all over
the globe, the gigantic relations of Great
Britain and the ubiquity of the Union Jack
in all seas, to raise his anger and dislike"
There is much more on this subject, and
the king of the BeIgians concludes with a
prophecy of many disturbances similar to
that of last week, but final British triumph
over all adversaries.

THE SACRAMENTO RISING
SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 2O.-The weather
bureau has received reports this morning
that the Sacramento river is still rising at
Red b uff, where it rose one foot last night
and at Colusa, at both points above the
danger point, being at the twenty-six stage
at the latter place. Within the last twen-
ty-four hours the rainfall at Delta, Red
ding, Dunsmuir and Sisson has been from
four to five inches, causing general floods
in that region and doing much damage.
The weather bureau thinks the Sacra-
mento. Feather and American rivers will
maintain their present high stage twenty
four hours longer, even if no more rain
falls. There has already been consider
able loss by broken levees along the rivers
and the lowlands are now overflowed.
Those districts which have not yet been
flooded are not in great danger of over
flow because of the outlet at the broken
banks higher up of various rivers. The
weather bureau has been given authority
to establish river stations along the San
Joaquin for the benefit of farmers in the
vicinity of Stockton and the island region.

WARSHIP REPAIRS

The nonitor nonadnock and Cruiser Baltimore
to Be Overhauled
WASHINGTON, Jan. 2O.-Within the next
two weeks the monitor Monadnock, which
has been built at Mare island, will be
placed in commission. The bureau of nav
gation has made up its detail of officers
for this vessel, and it has been determined
to take portion of the crew OF the Texas
to form the complement of the crew of the
monitor.
Captain Sumner has been selected to
command this vessel, and has been given
preliminary orders to this effect Captain
Sumner will be remembered as the officer
who was in command OF the Columbia at
the time when this vessel received her
injuries in the Southampton dry dock.
The department gave orders for the eX-
penditure of $4,000 for labor on the Mo-
nadnock to hasten her completion, and re-
ports which have been received at the
department Indicate that the work is being
rapidly pushed. The action of the depart
ment in placing the Monanock in commits
sion has been ascribed to the war prepara-
tions which the department has been
making for some time past. The officials.
however, claim that the commissioning of
this vessel is merely in the nature of an
emergency preparation.
The navy department. mas received from
the cruiser Baltimore a report as to the
amount of repairs to be made on this ves-
sells upon her arrival at Mare island.
A survey of the ship will he made imme-
diately upon her arrival and it may be that
additional repairs will he found necessary
that will necesstate her being laid up. In
any event. a majority of the men on the
vessel will be detached, many terms of
enlistment of the latter having expired.
Il has not been definitely decided who is
TO command tho Baltimore in case she re-
mains in commission, but it is probable
that Captain Robinson may be assigned to
this billet
