MR. NORTON IS TROUBLED.
HE SEES DANGER LURKING IN SNAP
CONVENTIONS.
THE REPUBLICAN STATE CONVENTION MAY BE
PUT OFF TILL THE END OF MARCH But
ITS MEMBERS WILL BE SNAP

THE REPUBLICAN STATE CONVENTION MAY bE
PUT OFF TILL THE END OF MARCH But
ITS MEMBERS WILL BE SNAP
PERs." ALL THE SAME.
Albany. Jan IA CspeciaD.-Governor Morton.
It would appear. has been alarmed by the obVl-
Gus harm done to his candidacy for President
by the snap" convention plans of Thomas Z.
Platt Mr. Mortons friends betray his agita-
tion by saying continually that at least the
Republican State Convention will not be a
snap" convention. AS only four delegates out
of the seventy-two who will go to the National
Convention from New-York will be elected by
the Republican State Convention. this plea is
weak Mr.. Plat could proceed with his snap
conventions In the thirty-four Congress dis
trcts. and thus capture large majority Of the
delegates.
Charles w Hackett, chairman Of the Repub-
Iican State Committee came here to-day, and
had a long talk with Governor Morton in the
Executive Chamber Then he departed for
New-York to see Mr.. Plat. Before he resumed
his Journey Mr.. Hackett said to The Tribune
correspondent: I'm my opinion the Repubhcan
State Convention will not be held before tne w,
last week in March Ample notice OF IL WI"
be given" -u c..o
six weeks. as in the case Of the fall State
conventions?" asked the correspondent
mo" replied Mr.. Hackett; Il think -FOUR
weeks will be sufficient 80
Four weeks is not sufficient for the Repuol-
can vote is largely made up or farmers N"SeS'
and II is a difficult matter for these farmers 10
hear about caucuses or to attend them wneh
they are called. Abundant notice should De
given to them. 80
Mr. Hackett's statement that the Republican
State Convention will probably not be held
before the end of March shows that, In view Oh
Mr. Mortons remonstrances. the Platt mach,ne
leaders have decided delay the meeting HI
tie However. as the delegates to the State
Convention will be elected at the same ASsetlpiy
district conventions that Will elect delegates
to the Congress district conventions, II the
latter are Of a snap" character the same
quality will be attributable to the delegates 10
the State Convention.

journals insist upon having Mr. Cleveland make
the first move by influencing Venezuela to invite
England to renew diplomatic negotiations That
Is n point of honor on which stress is laid. II
that can be arranged. the British Government
probably will be glad to make an immediate ef-
fort to adjust the boundary dispute without ad-
herring rigidly to the Schomburgk line. This
seems the most promising opening for settle
ment Of the question. The impending publica
ton OF the British may be regarded as
concession to American opinion 10 which Mr.
Cleveland may properly respond by urging the
Venezuelan Government to invite England TO
send Minister to Caracas.

TARGETS FOR HEAVY GUNS.
The Immensely Heavy. Tough Plates
Are Subjected to Crucial Pounding.

Targets at the new range. Shoebury-
ness, are not so much marks as speci-
mems of armor plates and other protec-
tions, says a writer in Chambers Jour
nal. Some of these are built up with
strength which, to the uninitiated,
appears to be proof against any at
tack. Here, for instance. we find a
steel plate Of eighteen inches in thick
ness, and behind this six inches of
iron, the whole backed up by huge
balks Of timber. But notwithstand-
ing it's depth, the enormous mass has
been dented and cracked and in places
pierced. When we look at the plates
which are not quite so thick we see
that the shells have formed what are
pretty and regular patterns, for small
triangles of metal have been splintered
off and turned back, so that the aper-
ture is decorated with circle of
leaves, and resembles rose with the
center cut out. Where the shell has
entered the plate before it bursts the
pattern remains very perfect. but when
1t explodes as 1t touches the surface
some of the encircling leaves are en-
tirely cut off.
One target is pointed out to us.which
represents the iron casing of the vul-
nerable portions of a torpedo boat con-
sisting of engine-room, boilers and
coal bunkers. These compartments
have been riddled again and again.
Even service rifle bullet can pene-
trate one side, and shell Of the small
est size will go through both. for tor
pedo boats are not very heavily built.

Of all the small and nasty acts of this administration, these were the smallest and nastiest.
