II believe that the day is coming when
every mine will have smeiter," said Mr.
Baker last evening. THE cost of shipping
ore hundreds OF miles 10 smeiter Is too
great. The mines OF low-grade ores can
not stand the expense and they will save
money IN the end by erecting their own
smeiters
1T is difficult, to float in New York a

that they have so much money to invest
and no more. They do not want 10 stand

PHILADELPHIA GETS IT
The Date Of the Convention
Then Fixed For Tues
day, June 10,
1900.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 16.-Nine cities
are competing for the republican
national convention before the repub-
lican national committee which began
a two days session here today. The
applicants are Chicago, New York,
Philadelphia, ST. Louis, Cleveland,
Minneapolis, Denver, Kansas City and
Milwaukee.
The convention city boomers were
up early at the Arlington hotel this
morning. They were determined to
clinch some ofthe soft spoken promises
given them last night. Members OF
the national committee were besieged
. ON all rsides. They were tip-top lis
teners, but not at all voluble in CONVEX
sation.
Senator Hanna entered the commit
tee room about 10 O'Clock with play
full ORDER to the doorkeeper: "See
that you don't let any democrats in
here; if you do, there'll be trouble,
Mr.. Hanna called the committee to
order at 1O:15, when the doors were
closed for an executive session and he
addressed the members of the commit
tee congratulating them and the party
on the outlook for next year.
The committee adopted a resolution
pr esented by Mr.. Fessenden eulogiz-
ing the career OF the late eVice-president
Hobart and lsmenting his death.
Then the doors were thrown open to
representatives of cities desiring to
entertain the convention and Samuel
B. Raymond and George w. Miller,
president of the Hamilton club, set
forth Chicsgo's claims.
r. G. Kerens made a humorous COM
plaint of Mr.. Miller's neglect to in
clude ST. Louis when he named the
cities struggling for the coaven-
tion.
John S. Miller. president of the
Union League club. then drove anoth-
er rail for Chicago.
He was followed by Ex-Mayor
Walbridge, of St. Louis, and Ex-Con-
gressman Nathan Frank aud Edward
Devers, in favor of St. Louis.
Mr.. Depew began to speak for New
York at 1:30.
The first ballot resulted as follows:
Philsdelphis, 13; Chicago. 20: New
York, 4; st. Louis, 8. 1t requires 26
votes to make choice.
1t was decided TO hold next years
convention on Tuesday, June 10th.
On the second ballot: Philadelphia
received 25 and Chicago % votes.
Philadelphia won on the third ballot.
Tornorrou tho committee will take
up the consideration of Mr.. Henry G.
Psyne's resolution in favor of a new
b ,sts of representation. This pro-
position for q change that will make
the convention representative of the
votes of the county rather
than of all the voters of all parties,
has been proposed several times before,
but the conditions never before seemed
30 favorable to its adoption as now.

REVENUE STAMPS
The New Rule As To Their Cancel
lation Goes Into Effect To-
d1V

day
WASHINGTON, Dec. 15.-The new
regulations regarding the cancella-
tion of Internal revenue stamps becomes
effective today aud in order to avoid
unpleasant complications with Uncle
Sam the users of the stamps will In
future have to exercise more care In
cancelling.
Under the new rule in all cases
where documentary stamps OF the
denomination of 10 cents or any large
denomination should be used, the
person using or afixing the same shall,
in addition to writing or stamping
thereon with ink the initieis OF his
name and the date when affixed, mutt
late the stamp by cutting three par
allsl incisions 1engthwise through the
stamp, beginning not more than one
fourth of an inch from one end and ex-
tending to within one-fourth of an
inch OF the other. Such mutilation
will render the methods of using ink
heretofore used unnecessary.
