Columbus, o., June 2l.-The republican
state convention was almost free from the
factional fghting OF former years. The
national administration" republicans
were so strong that opposition to them
was not felt anywhere. Congressman
Grosvenor was chairman. He is consid-
cred conhdant OF President Mckinley
and his speech Is considered significant.
Referring TO the policy of the administra-
ton in Cuba, Porto Rico, Hawaii and the
Phllinnines, GrosVenor said In part:
Eve are confronted with some new
questions; new questions of national poll
icy. one of them relates to the question
of whether We will take, hold and fortify
and eternally, with the blessing of God,
defend the Hawaiian islands as part of
the territory Of the United States. 1t will
be the policy of the administration to
plant the flag Of the United States in Ha-
waii to occupy and to fortify and make
1t part Of the territory Of the United
States, and when the war is over we will
settle then the question of what sort OF
government We will have over there
"Momentous issues are before u.s. great
questions of politics growing out of the

wait; 1t is not important to settle the
status of the Philippine islands now; 1t Is

FLORIDA WANTS PEACE.
VIII Not Seek Trouble With the Fed
ernl Authorities

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, March A.
Secretary Matthews, of the state board
of health says that, if any conflict
arises between Florida and the federal
authorities over the enforcement of
quarantine on April l. it will be due to
the federal authorities and not to
those of this state.
The Florida state law provides for
the enforcement of quarantine on Nav
l. but, as a matter of exigency, the
state board of health is empowered to
pass rules that shall have the force
of statute law At the last meeting,
which was held in January, upon the
advice of Secretary Gage, acting upon
the suggestion of Surgeon General Wv
man, the state board of health passed
the April 1 rule, and has since in
Structed its agents at various Florida
ports to enforce it.
Surgeon General Wyman made the
suggestion under the opinion that dam
ger from infection by yellow fever
should be guarded against early this
year. The governor of Florida has no
jurisdiction over the state board Of
health further than to call it together
This may be done if the circumstances
warrant, and probably will be done if
the president so requests, for the state
and its officials have always displayed
HDeidI dcquleScellce IN federal re-
quests, especially in a matter of ex-
traordinary eXigency.
Gov. Bloxham, who was seen at st.
Augustine tonight, said that he had
heard nothing from President McKin-
ley or other Washington officials rela-
tive to abrogating restrictions of state
quarantine law, as far as it applies to
naval vessels. He said that, should he
receive such a request, he would at
once confer with the state health au-
thoritiCs

UNION PACIFIC IN LINE.
All It's Troubles With the Immigrant
Clearing House Adjusted.

CHICAGO, March 1.-The troubles between
the Union Pacific and the Western roads
which are members of the immigrant clear
ing house have been settled, and the Union
Pacific is now a member of the clearing
house and the joint traffic bureau in which
the Western roads and the Atlantic steamship
lines are members
For a long time the Western roads have
been DESTROYS of securing the membership of
the Union Pacific. There have been any num-
Der of small matters in the way and at times
charges OF misconduct have been thrown
pack and forth in lively fashion. The slate
has now been wiped clean and the Union
Pacific has acted in a manner so liberal
toward the Western roads in making con-
cesslons of various kinds that the latter are
highly pleased. The charges of the payment
OF excessive commissions that have been from
time to time brought against the Union Pa
chic have been proved false and for the first
time in many months there is a chance of
maintaining immigrant rates Without disturb
ance.
All of the Western roads unite in praisng
the Union Pacific for the manner in which it
has met them.

The Northern Pacific and Great
Northern coast trains went out yester-
day comparatively we'll filed consider
ing the fact that it was Saturday, when
travel is usually light.
Among the Northern Pacific passen-
gers were five st. Paul boys, whose
friends gathered at the union depot to
bid them farewell and good luck The
little group included M. T. Cody, f. T.
Doyle, ii. j. Bucko, H. A. Grunau and
James Brennan.
They took with them an elaborate
outfit, and will brave the rigors of life
in Alaska for two years.
They are not quite decided as to just
where they will do their prospecting
but are of the notion that when they
reach Skaguay and Dyea they will then
be better able to judge which is the
most promising section.
Among the other Northern Pacific
passengers were Thomas Christensen
and Theodore Daniels, of Clinton, To- :;
Alvin Wilcox, of Montreal, and the
Smith brothers.. A. r. and A M, of
indianapolis.
The Great Northern likewise sent out
good train, the tourist sleepers being
fairly well filled. Among their patrons

amendment will be used for this pur-
pose. If The result of this vote upon
the treaty itself would result in its de-
feat. the friends of annexation will
then resort to the eXpedient of a Joint
resolution, and will ask the senate to
take up the question in this shape in
open session with the view of securing
the concurrence of the house
Some difference of opinion developed
in the committee as to the wisdom of
resuming the executive sessions at all,
but it was urged that many of the
senators would not assent to the
changed method of proceeding until
there should be at least test vote on
the treaty itself, and this view is I'M
derStood to have prevailed.
