OHIO REPUBLICANS.
The State Convention Meets This After
noon Mt Colunbus-The Hanna Men
Likely to Control.

COLUMBUS, June 21.-The Republican
state convention will meet here this
afternoon Kinney for secretary of
state, Spear for supreme judge and
Allen for clerk of the supreme court
have no opposition for denomination.
The only other nomination is for mem
Der of the board of public works, for
which place there are several contests.
The main contest is for the control of
the state committee, and Slhat are
known as the Hanna or n5tiona1 adj
ministration men, are said to have the
members of the state committee from
IS of the 81 districts as against what
are termed the Kurtz or state admins
tration men.
When Hanna was elected senator last
January, the opposing candidate was
Mayor McKission of Cleveland, the
home of the senator. There are two
delegations here now from Cleveland,
but it seems certain that the Hanna
delegation will be seated over the Nc
Kisson delegation, and thus insure the
selection of a Hanna man on the state
committee from Cleveland and also the
control of the local committee of Cuya-
hoga county, which will hold over till
next year. Both factions are now
wanting the control of the party ma
chinery, as next year nominations will
be made for governor and almost all the
state offices. There are contested dele
cations from Allen, Tuscarawas and
Hardin counties that will affect the
selection of members of the state COM
mittee.
The Hanna men have such a large
majority among the delegates that they
will control the convention without
contest on anything after the report on
credentials is adopted and the commit
tee on credentials will be composed al
most unanimously by the senator's
friends. There is much disappointment
over Senators Foraker and Hanna be-
ing unable to leave Washington. 1t was
intended to have Senator Hanna for
temporary chairman and Senator For
aker for permanent chairman tomorrow,
but now General Charles II. Grosvenor
will be both temporary and permanent
chairman and make the keynote speech
of the campaign. AS Congressman
Grosyenor is considered close to the ma
final administration his speech is
awaited with interest.

WASHINGTON, June 21.-Dispatches
announcing that Captain General
Blanco had refused to exchange Hobson
and his fellow prisoners created some
Indignation yesterday, which was modl-
fed later by Madrid advices quoting
Sagasta as saying no decision had been
reached. Should Spain adopt the cruel
and unusual course of refusing an ex-
change, the regulations of the war de-
partment are sufficient to meet the case.
The following principle is laid down in
its regulations:
Retaliation will never be resorted to
as measure of mere revenge, but only
as a measure of protective retribution,
and moreover, cautiously and unavoid
ably; that is to say, retaliation shall
only be resorted to after careful in
quiry into the real occurrence and the
character OF the deeds that may de-
nIand retribution. Unjust or inconsid-
craze retaliation removes the belhger-
.ents further and further from the niti-
eating rules of regular war, and by
rapid strides leads them to the inter
necine wars of savages."
1t was pointed out by a leading Off
Der Of the army yesterday that the
Spanish had most to lose by a course of
cruelty, which would call for retalia-
ton, as the number of Spanish prison
ers is far greater than that of American
prisoners.

terday, said nothing hau been decided

harbor of Santiago de Cuba.
KINGSTON, Jamaica, June 21.-The
British consul at Santiago de Cuba,
who is acting for the United States in
the negotiations with the Spaniards for
the exchange Of Lieutenant Hobson
and his comrades in the Merrimac eX-
petition, has suggested to the officials
at Washington that even ransom
might be paid to secure the prompt re-
lease of the American prisoners. That
idea was undoubtedly expressed in the
cable dispatches which passed through
the colonial authorities here, but in
what form it is shaped is not clear.
DIR. George Bridgeman, the United
States minister to Bolivia, has arrived
here on the steamer Para on his way tc

KEY WEST, June 21.-It seems thai
events which led up to General Blanco'l
letter began with the sending of the
Maple. under charge of Captain Ludlow
of the monitor Terror, to open negotia
lions for the exchange of Leutenan
Hobson and other Merrimac prisoners
General Blanco's letter was addressed
to the Monitors captain. After refus
ing to negotiate for the exchange of tn
prisoners, he delivered the ultimatun
as to boats with flags Of truce. saying
they would be fred upon II within 81,

Mooresque type of architecture. Then
they invaded the French portion of the
city, and stamped upon it their distinc-
tive type of building, as much as pos
sible. To the French building was
added a roof of red tiles, and the red,
glazing walls were plastered and white
washed-exterior and interior-after
the manner of the white, glistening
walls of the Audalusians. -
Thus the Spanish-French city grew
up, each materially preserving, as far
as possible, it's own type of architecture,
and endeavoring to, overshadow the
other. The racial lines we're strictly
drawn; and yet, like many of the old
buildings, these types of humanity in
termingled, and the Spanish French
Creoles of later generation occupied
these houses Of allied architecture.
The term Creole, by the way, signifies
"a person Of French or Spanish parent
age born in foreign country. The
children Of the French emigrants, who
were born here, were Creoles; also those
of the Spanish settlers. And the ma
tive-born childrens3of French Spanish
parents are French-S spanish Creoles; or,

Time, which destroys as well as Gre
atcs. is leaving its impress upon the
old French Quarter" so picturesque
and interesting in its decay. With the
passing OF the Creoles Of the ancient
regime, it is becoming Americanized
and modernized. =
Here and there in spots, like bright
patches of flowers in wilderness, are
seen modern structures fanked by
lickety ruins, which seemingly stand
from the force of habit because they
have stood so long. Until within the
past few years the French Quarter"
was almost as distinctly separate from
the city proper as if its inhabitants
lived on another hemisphere. The
French population has been gradually
diminishing, some returning to their
beloved France, but greater number
cbeying the eternal summons of Father
Time. Their descendants have become
Americanized, intermarried, and, with
modern ideas, have removed to the
American quarter and joined the rush
ing throng who live in the present.
Others are remodeling some Of the old
tumble-down rookeries of their an
cestors, which have so long attracted
the curiosity of visitors. The quaintest
of these are found on Danphine, Char
tres and Ursulines streets-the oldest
streets in the city. These old residences,
and the little shop buildings, feel the
advance of commerce and are being
changed into modern stores and res
taurants. Damp, dark, ghostly resi-
dences, unoccupied for years, are opened

to air and sunlight, and are being re-
modelled as if for the return of those
who once reveled in their now grimy
halls.
The newer French generation is
moved by the spirit of improvement,
Influenced by it's neighbors across Canal
street, who are also invading the French
quarter.
The old quarter, now undergoing
change, presents composite picture of
three styles of architecture-French
Spanish and American. The primitive
French log huts were replaced by cot
tages of rough-hewn wooden slabs, cut
from the swamps in the rear of the city
by negro slaves imported from Africa.
A few of these ancient landmarks re-
main. These were succeeded by brick
structures of one or 11s stories, and
slanting roof, with Norman gables and
dormer windows. When the Spanish
came, about the middle of the last CEN
fury, they found the French city en-
closed within wall extending about
eight squares from the river and
an equal distance south of Canal
street. The French king, no longer
able to hold the colony, gave
it to Spain. This lead to a revolution,
the leaders of which were shot by the
Spanish officials in the plaza opposite
to the present cathedral. This tragedy
caused a large number of the French
to return to France. The Spaniards ex-
tended the city further down the river
in the direction of the present old
French market. Their houses, though
somewhat crude, were of the Spanish

Two hours later they had been left
at their grandfather's door to find the
house apparently deserted, but as locks
or bars were little needed where there
was nothing to modest or make afraid,
they had only to walk in and take pos
session.
Old Nan stood patiently waiting for
fully Is minutes before the door was
again opened and her master and
young Daniel came out for her.

When the late chores were all "done

they found a supper consisting of warm
biscuits, apple sauce, cheese and hot
tea awiting them, and Josephine,
bright-eyed and not unlike Aunt Han
nah, stood waiting to hear her grand
fathers pleasant EXPLANATIONS, with a
smile on her happy face.
"A lady where lived taught me to
cook, grandpa, and I am sure I can
keep house for you and Dan," said she
as she poured tho tea.
'How long has your father been
dead, my dear?" asked her grandfather,
placing his hand in caressing manner
on her shoulder.
''Six years, and mamma was taken
sick soon AFTER" she replied.
''Why didn't you write to us?''
''We did several times; but, you see,

murmured the old man; and then he
reverently bowed his head and returned
thanks for this great and unexpected
happiness which his grandchildren
had brought home to him at eventide.

COcoaine in Snun.

"Did you know" said man who has
travelled in Texas somewhat, "that the
negroes of the southwest are using CO.
caine to an alarming extent? They
take it in the way of specially prepared
snuff. The old nanny, of course, used
to take snuff, but her snuff was the pure
tobacco product. The negro of to-day
has improved upon this habit of his an
cestors. Almost every druggist in Tex
as keepsa special preparation of CO.
caine and snuff, and those whom I have
met and talked with tell me it finds,
a heavy sale. The white people don't
seem to care for it, butthe scullud folks
are good buyers. To what extent the
crimes of the southern negro can be
laid to this habit I don't know. OF
course, cocaine is a short cut to the
madhouse, yet never heard that the
asylums of Texas were being over:
stocked with negroes. Perhaps it is too
early yet to notice such a tendency,
for the habit is only about ten years
old. I can't say, either, how far out

to the dealer the relics of his ancestors.
This has been slowly going on for years,
and the relics of the emigres must soon
disappear. In various parts of the
quarter" one sees the curio dealers
who also combine with their antique
wares the sale of modern literature,
mainly. the morning French paper.
Generally there are only one or two pur-
chasers on a block. After he has read
it he passes it along, and his farthest
neighbor gets it in the afternoon. The
fenilleton, or story, is just as new to
him then, and, as for the rest, "well, it
is generally the bad news that we heart"
Passing along the dimly-lighted
streets, when sea of moonlight floods
the old French quarter, one almost
shudders at the grim outlines of these
old deserted mansions, their huge wood
en- shutters swinging upon their rusty
hinges, mournfully creaking as if be-
wailing their departed tenants. A
glimmering light in a window indicates
that the massive house is occupied by
solitary tenant, whose duty it is to
keep it from further ruin, if possible.
Some of them are occupied by impover-
ished families, who let the sparsely-
furnished rooms-when they can find
roomers bold enough to occupy them.
If you wish to explore one of these an
tiquated houses, you ring an old-fash-
toned "knocker," which gives sepul-
chral echo through the long, damp
court, into which you are ushered. It
is like entering tomb. The inches
where stood the marble statuary are
empty, the sculptural door facings are
sooty and dirty, and every step sends
back an echo as if from the dead.
Impoverished aristocratic families
occupy some of these ancient houses
living in seclusion. From within these
closed doors aand windows the pedes-
trian hears the deep solemn strains of
the Huguenot. The lady who plays is
perhaps descendant of prescribed
emigre. ~
The most historic building in the
French quarter is the ''Cafe des Exiles,"
but better known as the "Old Absinthe
Corner" It has been vacant several
years, but as it stands on the direct line
of improvement it will soon be modern

Hunter ind his wife felt "a emselves IN
deed childless when, one bright au-
itumnal day. they had seen their only
daughter laid away in the village
churchyard.
III The stars had come out ona by one
and the moon was shining brightly, it's
rays trying to penetrate the branches
of the tall old evergreen trees standing
in the Hunter dooryard as old Nan
walked slowly up and stopped before
the door. 2ssa3
Mr.. Hunter awoke from his painful
reverie and started to step from his
sleigh, but stopped in surprise, for from
the kitchen windows bright light
streamed forth and forms were to be
seen moving about the room. His eyes
were growing dim, he could not see as
he used to do, so he could not tell
whether neighbors or strangers had in
vaded his lonely home. A moment later
and the outer door opened. Old Nan
gave low whinny, and at the same
time her master exclaimed: Daniel,
Daniel, is it you?"
The figure of boy, apparently 16 or
10 years of age, sprang lightly over the
narrow sill and hurried to meet the old
man as he stepped from the sleigh, his
trembling limbs almost refusing to hold
his weight.
care you Mr.. Elias Hunter, ir?" said
the youth, reaching out his strong
young arm to steady the trembling
form of the old gentleman as he reached
his side.

you? I thought at fust you was my
boy Dan'l; you are his exact picter as
he ulster bel" retorted the old man in
trembling voice.
II am Daniel Hunters son Daniel, and
you are my grandfather" replied the
boy, as he guided the tottering steps of
the old man into the house.
That afternoon when the daily stage
coach reached the village of NJ, five
| miles distant from the Hunter farm
house, and drew up at a little hotel, a
youth of 16 or Whereabouts and girl
apparently. some IL years of age had
alighted and entered the house. They
had been shown to the warm and cozy
parlor, where a few minutes later the
landlord had followed in answer to
request from the bright-faced, manly
| boy for an interview with him. AS he
entered the room the boy arose and adj
dressed him.

name of Hunter lives in this town."
was his question.
Certainly he does, way back over the
mountain, five miles from here!" re-
piled the landlord.
"How can we get there-will the
coach take us?" inquired the boy.
| "No, but I'll send team over in an
hour or so, if that will answer" he
returned, looking curiously at the
couple.
"Very we'll; that will be soon
enough" said the lad.

Daniel Hunter turned to his sister and
said:

be at home! Won't it seem fine to
