ST. LOUIS, June 17.-The first day of
the republican national convention
opened with unclouded skies and with
the prospect of extremely hot weather.
Although the convention was not to be
called to order until noon the streets
in the vicinity of the hall were
thronged two hours before that time
with strangers who had come to the
city to witness what they could of the
spectacle, and who naturally drifted
toward the Auditorium, but the doors
were closed to all persons until the
time should arrive for their official
opening. The only exceptions to this

OUR NATIONAL SEAL.
It Was Designed by a Citizen Of
Great Britain.
Sir John Prcstwich, an Accomplished AM
tiqunrian, Furnished the Idea for
tho Original Seal of tho
United States.

The great seal of the United States
Is of peculiar interest from the fact
that it is possibly the only ons in the
world that was designed for gov
ernment by the subject of an opposing
government, We owe our coat of arms
to Sir John Prestwich, baronet of
West England, who was warm friend
of America, and an accomplished an
tiquarian. His admiration for Wash
ington undoubtedly influenced his de-
sign, as the Washington arms are rath-
er similar to our seal. Originally the Sc
lection of the seal was left to commit
tee appointed by congress, and COM
posed of Benjamin Franklin, John
Adams and I Thomas Jefferson, and they
employed French West Indian named
Du Sinitiero, not only to furnish de-
signs, but to sketch such designs as
we're suggested by themselves. In one
pf his drawings the artist displayed on
shield the armorial designs of several
nations from which America had been
peopled, embracing those of England.
Scotland, France, Germany and Hol-
land.
After several other committees hnd
vainly tried to perfect a seal which

formulate rules for any contests that
the committee may hear.
Nearly every member of the commit
tee on credentials responded to the
roll call when the committee reassem-
bled. Mr.. Sutherland, of New York,
moved that representative of the
press associations be admitted to the
sessions of the committee and this was
carried unanimously, all other persons
not connected with the committees in
vestigation being required to with
draw. A subcommittee reported in
favor of giving two hours for the dis
cussion of the Higgins-Addicks Della
ware case and an hour and half to
the Texas case. This report was
adopted.
Ex-senator Higgins opened the case
in behalf of his delegation. He re-
peated that j. Edward Addicks was no
more qualified as a republican to sit
and act in this convention than would
be Arthur p. German or David B. Hill.
AS recently as 1890 Addicks had given
SIS, 900 to defeat a republican candidate
for governor and elect democrat, and
proofs were forthcoming in the form
of the sworn statements of three wit
nesses who lived in the same house
with Mr.. Addicks and to whom he
boasted of the facts. Higgins declared
that as result of the conspiracy be

ried to various points along the route
by the street railway company. At the
park Fred b. Snyder, president OF
the city council, who was born in the
house, formally presented it Col. j.
Ii. Stevens, who built the house, and
who is still living in this city, made
few remarks.
The historic house is little frame
structure built by Col. Stevens in 1s4s
on his claim" which now includes the
original town of Minneapolis. 1t was
the first house built on the west side of
the Mississippi river, and for many
years stood on the banks of the river
right where the Union depot is now To-
Gated. The march of business pros
perity compelled it TO "move on" and
it was moved from time to time, and
for awhile it's whereabouts was un-
known. 1t was finally found and the
park board decided to purchase it and
place it in one of the parks.
This little house took prominent
part in the history of Minneapolis. In
it the first white child born in what is
now the Flour City, daughter of Col.

Here was held the first term of court
in Hennepin county. The first religious
service took place and the first
church was organized within its walls.
Here were organized lodges and soci-
eties, and prospectors, tourists and In
dians were lodged within 1t.
Col. Stevens was born in Lower Cana
1a, June 13, 1920. His parents were ma
tives of Vermont. Before he became OF
age Mr.. Stevens was a resident of Ga.
lena, ILL.,, and in 1916 went to Mexico as
a United States soldier, serving until
peace was declared. In 1S4s, before the
territory was even organized, he came
10 Minnesota and "filed on" that por
ton of the west bank of the Mississippi
just above the Fails of ST. Anthony. Or
May 1, 1850, Col. Stevens married a
Rockford, ILL.,, Frances Helen Miller
daughter of Abner Miller, of West
moreland, Oneida county, N. Y. Th'
couple were blessed with six children

says the New York Herald, and was
adopted in June, ,17s2. So it is manifest,
although the fact is not extensively
known, that we are indebted for o,ir
national arms to titled aristocrat OF
the country with which we were then at
war. 1t was cut in brass soon after il
had been decided upon, and it is found
on n commission dated September 1G,
1882, granting full power and authority
to Washington to arrange with tha
British for prisoners of war. This seal
continued in use for SO years. The
present seal differs from it only in de,
tail of execution. The design of the
reverse has pyramid, over which there
is an eye in triangle. For some reason
this side of the seal was not cut them
nor has it been cut since, but has been
allowed to go unnoticed officially until
the present day. The second seal was
cut in 1s41, Daniel Webster then being
secretary of state. This one was con-
tinued in use up to 1855, when the seal
now used was cut.

tween Addicks and the democratic
party in the last election, the repub-
licans of Delaware had lost a governor
and United States senator.
Michael ]. Murray opened for the
Addiclzs side. He said the charges that
MIR. AddiclSs was democrat or that he
had given money to aid the democratic
cause in Delaware were false.
In reply to a question from men,
ber of the committee, Mr.. Addicks said
he had lived in Delaware for 80 years,
and had voted for Abraham Lincoln
and every republican candidate for the
presidency since him. Ex-senator Hig-
gins closed for the contestants.
The resolution to seat the Addicks
delegation was defeated-20 ayes, 80
nays. The committee then voted on
the question of seating the Higgins
delegation. Ayes 81, nays IT. AT the

the aggregate one-fourth of the popu-
lation of the country, were not repre-
sented on the committee and he
thought for that reason that the Pacific
slope could also remain unrepresented.
After some discussion the committee
was increased by the addition of two
other members, Mr.. Burleigh and Mr.

til o'clock in the evening was carried,
the understanding being that the sub
