was Immediately precipitated over the mat
ter of electing a temporary chairman. The
Allison-Reed men having captured the ex-
exutive committees report. recommended
Quincy, the Allison negro leader. A. Il.
Rosenthal, the Mckinley factions delegate,
was also placed before the convention. The
matter was definitely settled by the cleo
tion of Quincy by a vote Of 47 to N5 for
Rosenthal, his Mckinney opponent. The
fight was made strictly on the color line,
Quincy pleading with his race for support.
His talk was successful beyond all expecta-
ton. This action will give the Reed-Alison
men control OF the convention at to-mor-
rows session. though the Mckinney men
claimed to-night's vote will not have any
effect On t~o-morrew's action as some Of
the negroes who voted tonight for Quincy

comes to the vote tomorrow they will vote
for Mckinley men. II Is said the Mckinley
men viii make an arrangement with Quincy
for q divided unrestricted delegation.

WASHINGTON, March 24.-The big bat
tie ship Indiana, which has failed to get into
the dry dock at Port Royal, s. c.. is now In
a hole a few hundred yards below the dock,
unable 20 go either way, owing to the lack
of sufficient depth of water outside of the
hole. The vessel will have to wait for full
moon. There is general criticism here over
the location of a dry dock at such a place,
where there is no navy yard or anything
else, excepting the almost useless dock. This
dock was built at Port Roya largely through
the work of Senator Cameron, Of Pennsyl-
vania, who desired TO help his ''chum," Sem
ator Butler, of South Carolina. Both were
members of the Senate naval committee at
the time, and Mr.. Cameron was chairman
of il. -

SOLVED BY THE SWISS.
How to Proven Concentration of Pop
uIation i'm Great Cities.

WASHINGTON. March A.-It may be for
little Switzerland. the oldest of the family of
republics, TO earn the honor of solving for
America the problem of how to prevent the
concentration OF population in great cities,
an evil believed by economists to be fatal.
The president of the Swiss national exposi-
ton, TO be held this year, has addressed
United States Consul Ridgely, at Geneva, on
the subject, and the latter has forwarded his
communication to the Department. of State.
President Turrettini's suggestion is that
Americans may learn how rural life can be
made at once attractive and profitable by
studying the model Swiss village, which will
form an important section OF the exposition,
illustrating, as it will, the happy village life
of the Swiss, with the numerous home indus
tries which are so profitable in full opera
ton. If this can be studied in connection
with the agricultural section. in WHICH swiss
methods OF dealing with produce will be ex-
emplifed and the best breeds OF cattle ex-
hibited, much valuable may be
obtained which might prove to be OF sub
stantial value to persons who are seeking to
solve the problem of Recommendation OF

Bartlett made no reply. After sitting

Yates laughed in his light and cheery
way. As he twirled his cane he looked
at his pretty companion. She was gaz-
ing anxiously ahead towards turn in
the road. Her comely face was slight
~ flushed, doubtless with the exercise
of walking.
''Now, In my country" continued the
New Yorker, I'VE idolize our women.
Pretty girls don't travel miles to mar
ket with butter and eggs"
AREN'T the girls pretty-in your
eountry?-
Yates made mental note that there
wss not rs much rurality about this
girl as he had thought at first. There
was . piquancy about the conversation
which he liked. That she shared his
enjoyment was doubtful, for q slight
line Of resentment was noticeable on
her smooth brow.
"You bet they're pretty. think all
American girls are pretty. II seems

The young woman flashed brief
glance at him from her dark eyes, and
for { moment Yates feared that his
language had been rather too choice
for her rural understanding, but be-
fore he could amend his phrase she an
swered, briefly:
''Thank you. prefer to walk
well, I don't know that 1 blame
you. Might ask if you have come all
the way from the village?"
"Yes."
THAT is long distance, and you
must be very tired" There was no re-
ply; 70 Yates continued; AT least /
thought it q long distance; but perhaps
that was because l was riding on Bart

As he spoke of the wagon he looked
At 1t, and, striding forward to its side,
said in . husky whisper to the pro-
fessor:

Cover it up yourself" briefly replied
the other; sit isn't mine"
Yates reached across and in q sort of
accidental way threw the flap Of the
tent over the too conspicuous jar. AS
an excuse for his action he took up his
walking cane and turned toward his
new acquaintance. He was flattered
- see that she was lettering some dis
tance behind the wagon, and he specdi-
1y rejoined her. The girl, looking
straight ahead, now quickened her
