The favorable report prevailed by a vote
or nve 70 one, with one member Of the

The report will provide for future rep
resentation at the republican conventions
based upon the vote cast in each district
for the electoral ticket at the preceding
election; each district to have at least one
delegate and each state four at large.
The number Of delegates TO the cOnven-

ton are Identical with that submitted to
the national committee, but constructed
on somewhat different lines.

Suggestion That He Resign.
jackson, Miss, June 1.-THE action of
the recent democratic state convention in
hastily choosing four delegates from the
state at large to the national convention,
and then, for the saks of harmony, has
tily adding a fifth to cast the four votes,
has produced an unprecedented
muddle, and is attracting at
tention. Secretary sheerin of the

written that he has only seats for the
number of delegates specified in the call
for the national convention and inquiring

If Senator George should fail to go to the

this resentment on the part of Senator
Georges friends lies in the membrance
of the fierce and relentless fight made on
the senator for reelection when he was
opposed by the sub-treasury candidate for
the United States Senate, Maj. Barksdale

ENGLAND DON'T LIKE M'KINLEY.
His Tariff Policy Looked Upon as
Injurious to Her Commerce.

Injurious to Her Commerce.
London, June 1.-THE Globe, in an ar
ticle upon the American political situa-
tion, declares that the election of McKin-
ley to the presidency would be a grievous
misfortune to the commerce of Great Brit
ain, inasmuch as there is no reason to
presume that he is not strongly in favor
of restoring the tariff which Mr.. Cleve-
land scaled down. The fact that the rev.
enue of the United States is not equal TO
the expenditures, the paper says, would
furnish Mr. Mckinley with a plausible
reason for urging the reimposition of an
extremely high protective tariff as the on
ly means Of averting bankruptcy.
For further retrenchment IN the public
expenditures, the paper adds, there is
scarcely any room except in the reduction
Of the outrageously inflated and scanda-
lously jobbed pension list, but pensions
being the most convenient reward for
election services, Mr.. Mckinley would
hardly be likely to apply the pruning
knife to that branch, even Mr. Cleveland
having shirked the duty of overhauling
the list with view Of putting the PEN
sions on a less corrupt footing.

ODD HAPPENINGS IN REAL LIFE.
A Western Passenger Train Held Up by
a Swarm Of Hornets.

A Western Passenger Train Held Up by
Swarm Of Hornets.
A swarm of hornets held up pas
senger train on the Chicago, Fort Madi-
son & Des Moines railroad, and gave
the trainmen and passengers battle
that will be remembered longer by far
than if it had been against bandits,
says an Ottumwa dispatch to the Gin
cinnati Tribune. The train was run
ming slowly up a steep grade just out
side the city, W. re the hillside is COW
cred with trees. Suddenly Engineer
Cunningham noticed black mass NOV.
ing through the air ahead of the train.
Had he known what was coming he
would have stopped his engine and
backed to the next station. The small
cloud soon developed into swarm of
hornets. The hornets noticed the slow
ly putting engine and made for it. They
attacked the engineer and fireman, who
were forced to stop the train. It was
sultry day and all the car windows
were open. This gave the hornets an
opportunity to enter the cars and poster
the passengers. It was an hour before
the trainmen and passengers succeeded
in driving away the hornets. A num-
ber of persons were severely stung: The
train stopped at farmhouse until the
injuries could be attended to and then
proceeded to this city.

LEAPIN0 WHALES.
Instances Of These Loviathans Throwing


Themselves Out Of Water.
Speaking of jumping" said an old
seaman who had been watching some
boys playing leap frog on the sands, ac-
cording to the Philadelphia Times, ''let
me tell you of the greatest jump ever
seen. It was many years ago, when I
was little more than lad; but I was
bow oarsman on a whaleboat belonging
to the ship Henry Staples. We had bad
luck for several weeks, when one day
We sighted big whale, and two boats
set off in race to see who would get
there first. It was fairly smooth, what
the sailors call white-cap breeze, and
our boats fairly flew over the water.
Finally the whale rose not 100 yards
away, heading directly for us. The har-
pooner stood with his iron all ready
to throw, while we grasped our oars
nervously, prepared to jump at the
word stern ALL that nearly always
came when a whale was harpooned.
Not word was spoken and suddenly a
mountain of black appeared; it seemed
to shut off the entire horizon. Up it
went until I distinctly saw seventy
foot whale over twenty feet in the air
lowering over us.
THE mate was the first to regain his
senses and gave the command: Stern
all, Just as we were ready to spring
overheard the boat shot back several
feet and the next second the gigantic
animal dived into the ocean, just graz
Ing us, having completely passed over
the boat in the biggest leap I ever heard
off,
Such gigantic jumps are rare. A sim
liar one was recorded by DR.. Hall, who
at the time was a midshipman on the
ship Leander. They were lying in the
harbor of Bermuda, when all hands
were attracted by the appearance of a
very large whale that suddenly ap-
peared in the harbor and seemed very
much alarmed by the shallow water,
doundering about violently. The young
mldsh1pman Joined boats crew that
started in pursuit and just as they were
about to strike the whale disappeared,
sinking out of sight, leaving a deep
Before it stopped up came the whale,
having in all probability struck the bot

so complete was this enormous leap"
says DR.. Hall, that for an instant we
saw him fairly up in the air, in hori-
.zontal position, at least twenty perpen-
dicular feet above our heads. While
in his progress upward there was in his
spring some touch of the vivacity with
which trout or salmon shoots out Of
the water, but he fell back again in the
sea like huge log thrown on it's broad
side, and with such laundering crash
as made all hands stare with aston
lshment, and the boldest held his breath
for time. Had the whale taken his
leap one minute sooner he would have
fallen plump ON the boat
