as the proper man to preside over the
convention during its first arduous de-

as one of the first lawyers of the Hoos-
Ter state and a leader of the state re-
publican forces, it was argued, peculi-
arly fitted him for the position. An
other strong argument in it's favor was
that in thus honoring Indiana McKin-
ley would be assured of it's unanimous
support and efTectually kill any attempt
to boom Harrison at the last moment.

Proposed Amendment Governing Them
Discussed Last Evening-Ordinance
Regulating the Sale of Food.
Councilman Burton and about thirty
merchants We're before the committee
on ordinances last evening supporting
the proposed amendment offered by Mr..
Burton in the board of councilmen re-
lating to the erection of signs and sign
posts.
The speakers told the committee how
it would be a great hardship to the
merchants if the order of the board Of
public works under the present ordi-
nance was carried out.
Councilman Burton said that the SUI
perintendent of streets had notified
more than three hundred merchants
that they were violating the law, and
the time for removing the signs elapsed
tomorrow He thought that his amend
ment would afford the relief asked by
the merchants.
f. w. Watterson, who keeps a gen.
tlemens furnishing store on Chapel
street and has a sign extending over
the sidewalk about five feet, also ap-
peared before the committee. He has
two more signs extending only three
feet from the building. All of these
were firmly attached to the storehouSe
and the proprietor did not see how their
presence endangered the public. 1t
would be a hardship if he were COM
PEELED to remove them.
Stephen Howe OF the firm of Howe &
Stetson. which has a handsome clock
sign, was before the committee in sup
port of the amendment.
John B. Judson, the fruiterer in the
Exchange building, asked that the
amendment be so worded as to bring
within its scope the signs which are
swung between the awning poles paral-
lei with the curb. He had been notified
to remove the sign at his store.
The committee considered the matter
in executive session and 1t was held for
future consideration at an adjourned
session next week. There will not be
another meeting.
DR. Wright in behalf of the city board
of health, and County Officer Carleton
E. Hoadley were before the committee
advocating the passage of an ordinance
regulating the sale of food products.
The proposed ordinance embodies the
provisions of the one now in force in
New York city. 1t will be recommend
ed for adoption at the next meeting of
the board of aldermen.
The proposed ordinance in relation to
the erection of buildings went over till
the next meeting of the committee.
The matter of conducting investiga-
ton. which came from the retrench-
ment and reform committee, did not
meet with favor at the hands of the
committee and will not be recommends
ed.

Pursued the Laurada,

Kingston, jam, June 9.-The alleged
filibustering steamer Laurada, from
New York, arrived at Port Antonio on
Sunday. A Spanish warship was in
pursuit of her, but, of course, did not
enter the port in her effort to capture
the Laurada. The Warship is still off
the port, waiting for the Laurada to
leave 1t is believed that the latter
landed a large quantity of munitions of
war in Cuba. If she should be pursued
when she leaves she will run along the
coast within the marine league limit
until her superior speed enables her to
stand out to sea in advance of the
Spanish Warship.
