St. Louis. June 11-Indications of
what life in a hotel a week from now
will be is foreshadowed by the piles Of
cots and mattresses which are stacked
up in the halls of the big hotels of the
| city, 1t was estimated yesterday that
already there are two thousand cots
piled up in the halls of the Southern
| hotel. and they are still coming by
wagon loads. Many of the delegates
are already growing restless over the
proba bility that St. Louis cannot han
die the crowd. 1t is estimated that be-
tween Il. 900 and 900 republicans will
| be here to attend the convention, and
| that the city will be unable to furnish
accommodations. Notwithstanding the
assertions by the members of the local
| committee.
The hotel managers, however, say
i that they will make a reputation for
St Louis as a convention city, and that
| all these fears are needless.
