demands to an indemnity for the Jameson
raid"
The president points to the necessity OF
his presence at the meeting OF tho volks'
raad as an objection TO his visiting Eng

not be pressed now. England oan, how

accepting the basis of discussion which
the president has already proposed. he
frankly admits that his administration Is
improvable and tn st he government Il

Springfield, lIls., Overrun with
Delegates and Candidates.
PREPARING FOR THE CONVENTION.

Chief Interest, of Course, Centers In the
Presidential Question-Whst the Out

Certsinty-Tanner Has More Than
Enough Delegates Instructed to Nominate

SPRINGFIELD, Ills, April 2s.-Ncver
before in the memory Of the oldest poll
ticians has there been so much excite
ment and interest In state convention
In Illinois as there is over the one to be
held here Wednesday. Already the town
Is overrun with delegates. Office seekers
and their hackers. Notwithstanding the
convention is some days off every hotel
in Springfield Is crowded full and late
comers will have to depend on private
families for beds. The chief interest
seems to center on the presidential ques-
tion. movement is on foot among the
friends of Mckinley, Jr., To have the con-
vention adopt resolutions instructing the
delegates ut large To vote for Mckinley as
soon as the convention Is called TO order.
Senator Cullom's friends are, Of course,
bitterly opposed to this rs also are those
favoring Allison and Reed. What the
outcome will be no man, not even the
leaders themselves, can predict.
Looks Easy for Tanner.
As TO the state ticket no one will ven-

who has more than enough delegates In
structed for him to nominate him for gov

of Marion are the other gubernatorial
candidates Aside from those there are
three candidates for lieutenant governor,

attorney general. But the interests OF all
these men just now seems to be subserv-
lent to the presidential question. The
leaders of the different factions are work

convention, one of the hottest fights ever
known in the history of Illinois politics
may be looked for. Arrangements have

These figures and other items OF inter
est culled from the census tables are
furnished the department OF state by
United States Commercial Agent
Thomas Moore at Wclmar, and he says "a
striking illustration of the increase In
population is afforded by comparison
with the French census which shows that
the increase of population In France In
the same five years period was but i2a,-
600 In this disparity the Germans see
reason for the entertainment OF less
warlike feeling by certain Glasses In
France, which therefore tends TO insure
