REPUBLICAN LEAGUE
WILL HOLD A MEETING AT
DETROIT
The Political Sea Is Full of Rocks
and Lots of Planning Must
Be Done

CINCINNATI, O., May 31.-President
D. D. Woodmansee and Secretary Dow
ling have issued a call for the tenth an
nual call of the National Republican
League at Detroit July 18th. Each state
and territorial league is entitled to four
delegates from each congressional dis
trict and six delegates at large The
business of the convention includes re-
ports from retiring officers the election
of officers. the designation of the time
and place for the next national conven-
ton, consideration of amendments to
the constitution and discussion Of plans
for club work and organizat ton.
There will be an evening mass meeting
addressed by Republican leaders on ma
tional affairs. The call says:
This convention will be the tenth
anniversary of the formation of the Ma
tional Republicans League and it will
be celebrated by a reception in honor
of the ex-presidents of the league, all
of whom will be in attendance.
I'VE cannot estimate the Importance
of this convention to the Republican
party. Our victory of last year does
not guarantee permanency of power.
We must keep our organization we'll
equipped for the contest of 1898, wher
we will again vote for members of con-
gress. In many of our states elections
this year the terms of members of the
United States senate are at stake, and
as our majority in that body can hardly
be seen by the close observer, it be-
hooves us to fortify ourselves against
the enemy. 4
LET us come together in large num-
bers al Detroit for the purpose of reviv-
ing and enlarging our political enthu-
siasm so that we may return to our
homes better qualified to defend Repub-
lican principles and better able to carry
out the purposes of the league

Slavin Joins the Ranks of the Has

SAN QUINTIN, May 31.-Frank Slavin
lasted just two minutes in his fight with
Joe Butler of Philadelphia before the CAL
ifornia Athletic club tonight. When Tina
was called Slavin rushed at the colored
man and punched him with his right over
the heart Butler squared himself for the
next rush and met Slavn with his left In
the face. Savin forced the colored man
about the ring, swinging his right and
left after the fashion Of sweeps of wind
mill. Butler caught the Australian on the
jaw with n right swing and the latter fell
forward, casped his dusky opponent about
the waist and both fell to the floor and
rolled over, with Butler on top. Referee
Billy Madden pulled the men apart and
Slavin rose in a daZed condition Butler
swung his left on the jaw, and the big
Australian fell full length on his back
his head striking the floor with a resound-
ing thump. He pulled himself up by Ghe
ropes after the referee had counted seven,
but was clearly unable to continue the
fight Jimmy Carroll jumped into the ring
and threw up the sponge for his principal.
The fight was a poor exhibition from a
scientific standpoint neither man showing
the least bit of cleverness, both depend
ing on wild swing to end the fight, which
Butler was fortunate in landing first.
Slavin may now be permanently classed as
