THE REPUBLICAN CONVENTION.

THE REPUBLICAN CONVENTION.
After the close of the Gazette's re-
port yesterday of the proceedings OF
the rel ublican Congressional conven.
ton tiresome embroglio was precipi.
taied by contest between Messrs.
jackson and Bolin from Loudoun, but
it was finally settled by allowing each
half a vote in the convention.
1t was nearly o'clock when recess
was taken for five minutes in order to
give the committees on permanent Or
ganization and credentials more time to
report-they had been at work nearly
all the evening. The first named re-
ported in favor of r. r. Campbell, of
Fauquier who had been temporary
chairmsn) for permanent chairman,
and A. B. Zerega, of Stafford for secre-
tary.
A motion that O. E. Hine, of Fairfax,
be substituted for Mr.. Campbell was
made, and an intensely disorderly scene
followed while the vote by counties was
being called. Before the vote was an
nounced Mr.. Hine came forward and
declined the honor of being chairman.
The report of the committee was then
adopted.
The committee on resolution next
appeared. They submitted resolutions
approving Of President McKinley's ad-
ministration, the Spanish war and hail
ing with triumph its results, endorsing
the Agnew wing of the republican par
ty of this district, denunciatory of the
civil service and the present election
laws of the State Of Virginia and indict.
ing the legislature of the State for pass
ing them.
report, after some discussion, was
adopted.
A resolution was then submitted and
adopted with but little opposition,
leaving the question of the nomination
OF candidate for Congress entirely in
the hands of the district congressional
committee.
Msssrs. Park Agnew, of this city; O.
E. Hines, Of Fairfax, and Lucien Win
ston, of Culpeper, had been named as
candidates. Mr.. Agnew positively de-
clined to allow the use OF his name.
r R. Campbell, Of Fauquier; r. L.
Flatford, of Stafford, and Joseph L.
Crupper, of Alexandria city, were
chosen as members OF the State central
committee, and O. E. Hine, of Fairfax
county, was elected chairman of the
district congressional committee. The
members of the committee are all ad-
ministration men and favor Mr.. Park
AgneW for State chairman.
The convention at half.past six o'clock
adjourned sine die.

growers called loudly on the depart

Smith was detailed for the work He
found that the cause OF black rot in

times infected as the result of bites Of
insects. the disease spreading in all

IS no evidence that the bacterium can
enter the plant through the roots. At

through the water pores. The discov-

study of the black rot in cabbage fields.
and il left no doubt that he discovered
the cause. In one instance All sep

Saving Closet Space I'm Flats.

New York Evening Post: In flats
and apartments where space is at a
premium. an arrangement suggested by
which additional hanging space is
gained. is to fit wooden poles in the
unused space of closets and wardrobes
Hooks may then be attached to these
poles, and the hanging spaces be
doubled or trebled. The same idea is
useful in a small hall bedroom, where.
perhaps, it is impossible to nail the
necessary hook piece close to the wall.
