That's What II Looks Like
For Mr.. Miller.
He May Not Get a Place on the
Chicago Delegation.
Slate That Has Been Agreed on for
Convention Tomorrow.

Hon. Auugstus s. Miller Is in gravs
danger OF being frozen out OF the Demo-
cratic delegation, which is to represent
Rhode Island at the nat ional convention
in Chicago and Robert Wade of GIouces-
ter is most apt to keep him company in
order that Miles A. McNamee's ambition
to be a delegate may be satisfied aud to
prevent repetition OF the Third and
Tenth Wards fight between McNamee sup
porters and the friends of Councilman
jesse Metcalf.
A week ago today 1t was decided that
Hon. Richard B. Comstock OF Providence,
Mayor Greene OF Woonsocket. George
Wade of Glocester and either Mr.. Miller
or Mr.. Metcalf of this city should have
the four places to which Providence
county is entitled. In the meantime Me-
Nance made up his mind that he would
go too, and as he has enough friends In
the Democratic Tenth to make IL essen
tial to humor his whims the contest be-
tween Metcalf and Miller YVES shifted
out of the race altogether. But the new
order OF things was not satisfactory. in
asmuch as IL involved fight between the
two Democratic wards, and as Alderman
Mccarthy and Attorney Thomas West arc
both delegates, such a thing. was to be
Wade, the other Providence county prob
ability, was dropped off the list, leaving
the slate for this county without much
danger of its being broken. -
Therefore. the probable outcome OF tha
Democratic State convention tomorrow
will be the election of the following delo-
gates:
Providence County-Hon. Richard II.
Comstock, Jesse Metcalf and Miles a. Nc.
Nance of Providence and Hon. George
w. Green of Woonsocket.
Newport County-Hon. James J. Van
Allen OF Newport.
Bristol County - Johp Il. ConIey OF
Warren.
Kent County-John H. Tucker of wsr-
wick. :
Washington County--Hon. David 8.
Baker of Wexford.
don. Richard B ComstoclS will preside
ard declare in brief address what Rhode
Island Democrats consider to be the prin-
cipal Issues Of the campaign and what
stand they take.
The platform will be brief and its
strong point will be the declaration in
favor OF the gold standard. There will
also be the conventional compliment psid
to the administration of President Cleve-
land. The delegation will be unpledged.
but Rhode Islands eight votes are for
Hon. William q. Whitney OF New York.

Goods at Shanghai.
Big Syndicate Formed to Encourage Up
Commerce With The Orient.

CHICAGO, April 20.-M. r. Ge1ords, a
civil engineer, widely known through
his connection with railway construction
and equipment In this and other coun-
tries recently returned form a prolonged
absence in the Orient. He has been Wis
tied by msny merchants and manufac-
turers, anxious to gain information re-
specting the possibilities OF opening up
trade with China.
TO a reporter Mr.. Giffords said: "The
result of my visit In Chicago, on my
trip from China TO New York, has
been the formation of syndicate for the
purpose of establishing an American
Chinese chamber of commerce of perma-
nent exhibition for the Introduction of
American goods and wares at Shanghai,
the princiapl mart of China, and where
samples OF Chinese productions suited to
our market can he seen and goods pur-
chased. Reciprocal relations can thus be
established TO the benefit of both nations.
George .; Bower, an old citizen OF
merchants and manufacturers of the
Western States, as also of the Middle and
Eastern States, has been chosen president
of the organization. j. Ensign Fuller,
well known among Eastern manufac-
turers, has been chosen an the manager

with the manufacturers of the Pacific
Slope and Fung How Wung, who for the
past six years has been an attacnee OF the
Chinese legation in England, and who
was here with me last summer, are to be
the managers in China.
"There is vast field OF commercial en-
terprise for us. in China, and the Orient
which is now being opened where We can
have an uninterrupted commerce with
one-half of the net balance, but the his
tory of our business relations with China
for the past few wears is deplorable. Tho
principal reason for this is that our in
dustries have not been represented ia
China by Americans

SOCIAL DOCTRINES AND PROBLEMS.
This the Theme of Prof. smalfs Lee
lures 10 Begin This Evening

Many Of the Richmond people have
attended from year TO year the lectures
given at Richmond College on the
Thomas Foundation. and Will remember
with pleasure the long list Of distinguish
"a men who have delivered them. The
course Of lectures this year. the first
of which Is 10 be delivered this evening.
will probably be attended by as large
audiences as have ever assembled at the
college on a similar occasion. not only
because the lecturer is one Of the fore
most men in America and a speaker OF
rare ability. but also because OF the pecu-
lar interest which attaches TO his sub
ject.
The lecturer Professor Albion w.
Small is head professor Of sociology IN
the University Of Chicago, and since that
time has attracted the attention OF the
whole country by his writings on various
social problems. While he is still young
man. he stands to-day i'm the very front
rank Of social scientists. Unlike most
investigators, he is a very forcible and
attractive speaker.
The course will comprise four lectures
on the general subject, Sketches Of
Modern Social Doctrines and Problems"
While lectures on most subjects appeal
only TO certain classes of people, IL is
safe to say that there Is scarcely a man
or woman in Richmond. who IS not more
or less interested in some phase Of the
science Of society. To many persons the
subject viii possess something Of the
charm OF novelty, because our environ
ment here in the South has not been
such as 10 thrust these social problems
upon our attention The day Is perhaps
not far distant when the South will have
TO face these questions, which are already
perplexing the other sections Of our Com
mOnwealth. Professor Smalrs lectures
therefore will especially appeal to jurists.
legislators, politicians, businessmen. and
all thoughtful persons who have watched
with any degree of interest the trend Of
modern thought along these lines.
The lecture will begin tonight at SIS
O'Clock.
