Tennessee, Wisconsin, Kansas, Texas,
Georgia, Illinois, Florida, Oregon,
North Dakota, North Carolina, Mary
land, Alabama, Mississippi, Virginia,
West Virginia, Arkansas, New Jersey
and Louisiana. The choice of the
voters in Massachusetts and Connecti-
cut was declared to be first Reed with
Mckinley close second, and in South
Dakoka Allison first and Mckinley
next. In Idaho Mckinley was said to
be the first choice if he were nominal
ed upon silver platform. Montana
favored Cameron or Teller, Minnesota,
Davis, and Vermont and Rhode Island,
Reed, Colorado had no choice.
1t will be conceded that if any per-
sons should know the real sentiment
of the Republicans in their various
States it ought to be the State chair
men and secretaries. This expression
of their belief upon the subject of the
PresidentiAr candidates is therefore
most convincing. The 2OS States classed
as favorable to Mckinley above will
have 424 votes in the Republican Ma
tional convention. Adding the 46
votes of Ohio will bring the total from
but 81 of the as States up to 470. All
the As States without the Territories
will have S94 votes or delegates, a ma
jority of which is AS or 30 less than
the number of delegates in the 81
States above enumerated as favorab BILE
to Major Mckinley as first choice, Mas
sachusetts, Connecticut and South Da-
kota, in which Mckinley is declared to
be close second, have 30 more dele
gates. No second choice is mentioned
in Minnesota, which has IS delegates.
but Mckinley is known to be the fay
orite there after a mere complimentary
support is given to the States favorite
son, Senator Davis. Idaho, where
Mckinley is said to be a prime favorite,
has six delegates.
There were no responses from the
chairmen and secretaries of Is other
State committees, but it is known that
Mckinley delegates have been chosen
in New York and Nebraska, that Ken
lucky will be for him and that Penn
sylyania will give him large support
and that he will not be without many
friends in the remaining II States. In
view of these facts we feel amply war
ranted in saying that the plain voters
of the Republican party of the nation
will name the next President and not
the bosses, and that his name will cer-
talnly be William McKinley.-[Pi Pitts.

PICTURESQUE GATHERING.
A Delegation of Kickapoo Indians Call on
President Cleveland.

Delegation of KickapOo Indians Call on
President Cleveland.
WASHINGTON, March 19.-There was
a picturesque gathering in the presi-
dents office in the white house Thurs
day morning, when a delegation of
Kickapoo Indians from Oklahoma ter
ritory had an interview with Mr.. Cleve-
land about the severalty law.
The venerable chief White Water ex-
planned through an interpreter that his
people were dissatisfied with the law
dividing their land in severalty. They
had obtained the land from the great
Spirit, he said, and wished to preserve
their tribal relations and not be obliged
to take up separate farms and become
civilized. They had therefore come to
Washington to see the great father to
secure redress.
The president replied in kindly tones
that the severalty act was law of the
land and he was obliged to carry it
out. The white man has endeavored
to improve his condition and the In
dians should do the same. He hoped
the Kickapoos would realize the wis
dom of this and advised them to abide
by the law and become civilized.

IT has been intimated in political
circles that the Hon. Theodore f.
Dayis, who is candidate for Congress
for this, the Fifteenth District, would
get no support from the Repu blican
newspapers of his own county. This
we emphatically deny to be the case.
The Leader, although it has personal
differences with Mr.. Davis, believes
that Washington county should pre-
sent candidate and if Mr. Davis is
the county's choice this paper will
stand behind him, cordially and act
lively. In spirit of county patriotism it
is reasonable that one would prefer
that Washington county man would
fill the place in preference to a man
from any other county. 1t has ap-
peared for months past as though
Washington county would offer no can
didate, and to our knowledge up to
within few days ago this was the
case. We are sincere when we state
that so long as Washington county has
a candidate in the field, the Leader
will be found giving him it's cordial
support.

FIRST OUTBREAK
OF Violence In the Chicago Tailors' Strik


OF Violence in the Chicago Tailors' Strike
"A Riot Prevented.
CHICAGO, March 19.-The first out
break of violence in connection with
the tailors' strike occurred Wednesday
afternoon in the sweat shop district of
Halstead street. The arrival of a
squad of policemen under command of
Capt. John Wheeler, prevented gen.
eral riot between strikers, nom
union workers and sympathizers
with the strikers. A large delegation
from the Garment Workers union
called at the sweat shop of Henry Kauf-
man at 4s6 Halstead street shortly after
noon, and tried to induce the non-union
men to stop work until the strike was
settled. The non-union men refused,
and the strikers became boisterous,
when Kaufman raised the front
window of his shop and fired half
a dozen shots promiscuously into
the crowd, causing wild excitement.
No one was hit. The police guard at
the factory sent in riot call and the
officers charged the increasing crowd
in u body. Kaufman and three of his
employees were arrested with several
strikers. The strikers claim to have
received the assurance of the Fedora
tion of Labors financial support when

county ara,rs.

The need of good roads in the coun-
try is very apparent at this season,
when the reads are bad. These coun-
try roads ought to be so hard and
smooth that farmer living fifteen
miles from market could hitch up in
the morning trot all the ~ay in with
his load, attend to what ever business
he might have, and pull out for home
at good fast gate. reaching his resi-
dence before sundown.
The broken stone road when made
fifteen inches thick is called Telford or
Macadam, and is used in England and
Scotland and in many states of the
Union. 1t has to be kept up and is
somewhat expensive to keep in good
order.
Paved roadways are the proper thing.
They are durable. This is well under
stood in the "Old, Country" Napoleon
inaugurated the era of good roads in
France. They are built of stone and
brick, the general government tof the
country contributing largely to the ex-
pense.
Capt. w. S. Williams, of Canton,
Ohio, formerly Chief Of Artillery of
General John A. Logan's Division, is
probably the best posted man on brick
paving in the Country. He erected the
first plant for the manufacture of
street paving brick, in the United
States In an article in a recent num-
Der of Paving and Municipal Engineer.
ing, he says: "The Netherlands seem to
have the best and most lasting of paved
highways extending through their
country in various directions, reaching
from city to city without regard to
distance The paving has been done
so long ago that very few of the present
generation know when it was done.
The material used was brick, known as
the Dutch clinker 1t is similar to our
shale brick, but MOI as good as our best
quality of shale. The repairs are very
small. One man will keep several miles
of this pavement in good order. 1t is
apparent from experiments with differ
ent kinds of paved roadways that brick
is the smoothest, most lasting, the
cheapest and the best"
The question remains, how shall
these desirable roads be built, who
shall pay for them. s. j. Ii.

PROVIDENCE, R. l., March 19.-This
city was visited by disastrous con-
tiagration at an early hour Thursday
morning, fire breaking out in the Ma
sonic building on Pine street shortly
after four o'clock, and totally destroy
ing that edifice besides causing consid-
cradle damage to adjacent buildings in
the rear of the structure. The fire had
gained big start, and before streams
could be directed upon the structure
flames were pouring from the upper
part of the building in great volume.
The hydrant streams were weak and
almost useless to begin with, and the
few streams which were early turned
upon the building seemed quite futile.
The loss is sstimated at $500. GOV.

The Plain People for Mckinley.

While few autocratic bosses are en-
deayoring by political trickery to Sc
cure the nomination of u Republican
candidate for President, whom they
think will be subservient to their
wishes, it daily becomes more evident
that the voters of the party will not
permit their scheming to succeed. A
most remarkable evidence of how the
rank and file of the party really stand
has oeen afforded within the last few
days. In response to inquiries address
ed to them by the New York World
the chairmen and secretaries of 90 Re-
publican State committees gave their
opinion as to how the 'plain people"
of their party felt upon the question of
the Presidential nominee. OF these no
less than 20 chairmen and secretaries
declared that the first choice of large
majority of the Repu blican voters in
their respective States was without
any doubt Major William Mckinley.
These states were Indiana, Missouri,

DR.. STEPHEN II. EMMENs, of New
York, the inventor of the powerful ex-
plosive Emmensite, has been expert
menting with the Y rays and made
discoveries scarcely less important than
those of Prof Roentgen himself. Ac-
cording to the New York chemist the
new rays are not only as common as
sunbeams, but like them they can be
reflected and may therefore be focused
so as to produce actual photographs
instead of mere shodowgraphs, as at
present. DIR. Emmens believes that it
is possible to convert these X rays into
rays of light so that dark room may
be lighted from the waste energy of
an ordinary radiator. All this sounds
wildly improbable, but so many unex-
pected things are happening that it is
scarcely safe to pronounce any alleged
discovery impossible. The late Prof
| Huxley was reported as saying a short
time before his death that physical
science was on the eve of the greatest
discoveries in its history. Events al
ready justify the words as prophetic

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS ARRESTED.
The Burden Thieves Supposed to Be Cap
tured in London.

London, April 1.-Two men giving
their names as Dunlap and Turner, and
describing themselves as gentlemen
servants" were arraigned in the MARI
borough street police court yesterday,
charged with having in their possession
2s diamonds aggregating 5000 pounds in
value, for possessing which they were
unable to give any satisfactory explana
ton. The two men were remanded for a
week without bail.
A police inspector searched the lodgings
of the men and found there jeWelry
worth 20, 600 pounds. 1t is believed that
the jewels are the proceeds of the rob-
berry of the residence Of I. Townsend Bur-
den in New York some time age.
The foreign office and the police depart
ment have cabled to Washington when
application will be made for the extra
dition of the prisoners.
1t is asserted that Dunlap was butler
and Turner footman in the Burden

Fifteenth Annual Sale of the Work. oOm-
Through the courtesy of Mr.. Philip
G. Brown, the ladies of the workroom
have secured the corner store, under the
Falmouth Hotel, 222 Middle street, where
they will open their sale on Monday,
April goth.
The winter although mild, has been
unusually hard for the poor, inasmuch as
the workingmen who have no indoor
trades have not had employment in the
city's street department or on the street
railways, because there has been SO little
shovellng of snow and othe street
works could not be carried on on frozen
ground. For this reason many men, who
in times past have supported their fami-
lies have been compelled to turn to their
wives for the winters supply Of food
and fuel.
While the variety in the stock differs
little from that offered in past seasons,
the ladies hope their friends will agree
that the work averages better year by
year. They beg the good people, both
gentlemen and ladies, to buy out the en-
tire stock that the bills Tor provisions
given out to the sewing women, may be
paid, and little surplus laid by for
material next year. Upon most of the
articles no profit is made, but on few
OF the best garments slight advance
above actual cost is charged to Offset the
less upon The poorer work. The ladies
offer large stock Of hand made bedding,
night shirts and night gowns, ladies'
wrappers, skirts, ohildren's dresses and
underwear. The ladies have worked all
winter in this practical charity, where
there is no waste, and begged of no one,
and now they expect the people of Port
land to do their part toward making the
poor sslf-supporting and thereby self-re-
specting. The sale opens Monday, April
Goth, at $50 o'clock and continues
through the week.
