The stuff is off temporarily;

Mesabaites viii, mark the date il

w. G. Sargent had no opposi
tion-at the convention.
The Mesaba wanted the com
missioner candidate or it want

the candidate, and the natural
result is that there will be in
testines to cleanse at a later
date. .......-
In the last several campaigns
it has been practically admitted
and proven true that a nomina'
ton on the republican ticket in
st. Louis county was equivalent
to election. Those halcyon days
may not yet have passed-bu1
we would suggest to some of our
friends that such may be the
case.
But a few days ago. John
Wannamaker remarked: II ain
willing to trust public questions
to the intelligence and con
science of the people" If politi.
cal questions are classed as
public questions" it would be
we'll for the republican party il
the spirit of trust signited in
Wannamaker's utterance was
more general.
Col. J. r. James was turned
down through the traitorous act
of d resident of Virginia-to
take the word of the "turnee. ~
We trust the gentleman may
take much pleasure in the sue.
cess of his alleged fine work,
and feel safe in predicting that
if his reward cometh MOI in this
world it will in the next--in the
shape of an extra ton of coal.
The hardest blow ever receiy
ed by republicanism in st. Louis
county was when the delegates,
in convention assembled, "sat
down upon the Reynolds
amendments to the resolutions
reported. The act of the con.
vention and the power which
bent it's finger to designate which
way the convention should say,
lost hundreds of intelligent votes
in st. Louis county by the overt
act.
The republican county com
mittee has, since the nomina.
lions, been greatly blamed fol-
having called a republican coun.
ty convention for the purpose oil
placing in nomination candidates
for the county Offices. 1t is said
that much expense, anxiety, ILL.,
feeling and fractional friction
could have been aYerted by the
committee by an act simply set
ting aside a day and date on
which Uncle Joe could have me-
Uncle Joe, and amicably agreed
upon the candidates.

COAL AS CONTRABAND.
The Real Meaning of the Action Of
England.

The action OF Great Britain in declaring
from Jamaica, is said to have a sisnfli-
canoe different from that attached to 1t In
the dispatches. AS Explained in a high
ulrlomatlc quarter, such an order would
rot prevent vessel of either Spain or the
United States from taking coal at King
ston or any other port in the West Indies.
Even wheE this article is contraband, 1t is
said to be usual TO permit vessel of a.
bellingerent power to take aboard suTfi-
c1ent coal TO carry her to the next port
once out of the port, however, the vessel
takes her chances with her contrabaud
cargo, and 1t is liable to seizure as contra
band of war while en- route to a port of
the belligercnt power.
Applying this rule to the present case, it
is sad that If a Spanish ship went to
kingston for coal she would be able TO
carry a supply sufficient to carry her 10
Porto Rico or Cuba. When once away
from Kingston, however the vessel and
her cargo would be subject to seizure by
United States ships. The same rule it is
said, would apply In case IL ship of Great
Britain or any other country was engaged
IN carrying such a contraband article. The
flag would protect the snip as a whole but
1t would not protect the 'contraband arti-
Gle on board, the ship being subject to
search and to seizure of the contraband
article. The rule would apply equally it
is said, to ships taking coal In Kingston
for the use of United States naval vessels
In effect, however, the rule would be APP
plicable mainly to Spain, as the United
states naval vessels need not look to Brit
ish West Indies for their coal supplies,
whereas Spanish vessels would rely upon
this as we'll as other West Indian ports for
such supplies.

GEN. MILES PLANS.
Time for Leaving the City Not Yet
Fixed.

Major General Miles, in command of the
army. has not yet fixed the time for leav-
ing Washington to take command of the
extensive force of regulars soon to be mo-
bilized in the south. His present purpose
Is not to leave for some days, as the mo-
biliZation will not be accomplished within 4
week, and it will be of no advantage for the
commanding general to be on the ground
until the forces are brought together. In
the meantime thu several commands will
report to the division commanders.
The most minute details attending tie
mobilization have been looked after This
is being accomplished without the slightest
friction. owing to the system adopted of
having each body OF troops completely
equipped as a Unit. Instead of having
n ass OF rations, supplies. ammunition. &C..
for the general mobilization. each unit has
already received It's complete allowance
for al least a month TO come. 1t is eX-
pected that the troops will go into camp at
the several points OF rendezvous, as there
are no quarters of sufficient extent to ac-
commodate such a large gathering of men.
The point which General Miles will
lect as general headquarters is not vet de-
termined. and this will depend on crcum-
stances. Owing to the time which will be
consumed in the movement of the troops
across the country, neither the general nor
the members of his staff have completed
their personal arrangements for active
service. Their horses, baggage, etc, will
be sent on ahead, but this step has NOT
been taken thus far General Miles favor

The first-class batt!. ship Alabama which
has been building at Cramps shipyard since
November, 1896, will be launched May IS.
1t is slightly larger than the Iowa and ex-
actly similar in size and design to the llli-
nois and Wisconsin, building at Newport
News and San Francisco respectively
Commander Willard H. Brownson has
returned to this city from his visit abroad.
where he was sent to pure ha Sc men-of-war
and munitions for the use of the United
States navy. The commander Is looking
we'll hronZed, and says he had an enjoyable
trip having spent practically all his time in
Italy, France and England. He made q
number of recomm andations and reports to
Secretary Long during his inspections.
Commander Brownson during his visit was
able to gauge the feeling which the Euro
pean nations have for this country in its
issue with Spain. Concerning the English
men he remarked that they arr with us to
a man. A great many Frenchmen sided
with Spain. although the commander said
his observat.ors regarding them were based
on reports only. Italy being on, of the
Latin countries, there is an element which
sympathizes with Spain, although many of
the comm arcial classes. realizing that much
of the trade of the peninsula Is with the
United States, look upon our contention
with favor.
The commander will leave her. this even

cept commission for active service in the
army. 1t is believed that he would prefer
to serve with the New York state troops
He has never doubted that the Spaniards
were responsible for the wreck of the
Maine. and believes that act fully justifies
an immediate declaration of war.
To Leave Tampa for Cubn,
The Spanish minister has closed a charter
for an American steamer of the Plant line
which will carry practically the entire
Spanish colony Of Tampa, Fla, to Havana
today. In making tn, charter the minister
gave assurances that In case of hostilities
tie steamer could be cleared from Havana,
given ample protection and allowed to re-
turn to an American port. The Spanish
party will number 40S, most of them b.ing
young men who have offered their services
in tie Spanish army in case Of war. Some
women and children are included, as they
are part of the colony making the move,
and 1t is said also that the hostility to
Spanish residents in that locality has be-
come marked Of late. The consul and vice
consul, with two assistants, will remain al
