HONEST MEN.
But Mr.. Stern Thinks They are on the
Wrong Tack.

Mr. Sam Stern is confident that his
friends i'm Baltimore are sincere in their
belief that gold can be manufactured
lie thinks however, that the cobbler
who alleges that he has dis
covered the art OF making gold was
a crank. and he further thought that the
best thing for him 10 DO was to peg along
On life as best he could without spending
time and money In the attempt 10 make
the precious metal.
Mr. Stern said that none Of his money
would ever be sunk In such a scheme
He has heard nothing further from his
Baltimore friends. and thinks that after
the advice he gave them they abandoned
the idea Of making gold.

FRANKFORT, Ky. Dec. 14.-The Dem

paign committees met In joint session
here today. Ex-senator Jos. C. S. Black
burn presided. and said he had been
threatened with defeat for senator If the
Democratic state officers made a contest.
but that he had ridden fourteen miles
in buggy to tell the committee that
he favored a contest. even if it resulted

REPUBLICAN CONVENTION.

Committee Members Have No Idea
as to Where 1t Will Be Held.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 14-Four cities
are striving tonight for the favor Of the
members Of the Republican national
committee, and late tonight veteran
members of the committee said they
had no idea tonight where the conven-
ton would be sent It appears few
members of the committee have COM
mitted themselves The four chief as
pirants are: Philadelphia, New York,
Chicago and st. Louis. The Philadelphia
delegation is the largest on the ground,
and Is making strong claims as to its
strength on the committee. Chicago
claims twentyeight, which Is more than
a majority. New York Is making
good fight and so is ST. Louis. Every
effort has been made to learn the wishes
of the committeeman as to a conven-
ton city but without success the COM
mitteemen seeming disposed to listen to
the arguments presented by each city
and then to settle the matter as they
think best.
Senator Hanna said tonight he had no
preference as to which city should be
selected.
There was some talk tonight about a
date for holding the convention, but
nothing like any definite date was sug-
gested, although an early convention
seems to be the general idea.
The reorganization of the convention
on the basis of Mr.. Henry c. Payne
suggestion for representation, accord
ing to the number of Republican votes
cast, is causing much discussion Mr.
Richard G. Kerens, member for Missouri
intends to offer an amendment to the
motion, asking congress to base the next
congressional apportionment upon votes
| cast instead of population. The impress
sion prevailed tonight that the Payne
resolution is not likely to carry, the
pressure against it from the Southern
and border states being quite strong.

latter fact was duly reported in today's

Ginning the invitation to the banquet fen

assertions of the Detroit men that II

circumstances, the difficulty would not
down until it was announced that the
music would be left out of the pro-

HE IS A SOLDIER.
But Gen. Brooke Is Also Keenly
Disappointed Man.

Disappointed Man.
HAVANA, Dec. 14.-Gov. Gen Brooke
is indignant at the reports cabled from
Washington which represent him as hav-
ing protested against the order of the
president relieving him of the military
governorship of Cuba. He says:
Il am a soldier and obey orders. 1
would direct the arrest any officer who
protested against my order, and would
always render to superior authority the
respect which l would exact from a sub
ordinate"
His friends, however, express the opin-
ion that he has not been treated with
due conside?a alton. They think that some
intimation should have been given MIN
of the contemplated change, whereas, as
a matter of fact, the first knowledge he
had that he was TO be removed and sue
ceeded by Maj. Gen. Wood was derived
from newspaper dispatches The Patria
says:
1.-THE administration Of Gen. Wood at
Santiago has been thought well of by
Cubans of all grades. II must also be
admitted that he governed the most SEN
sitive and independent section of the
island without once offending the dignity
Of the inhabitants He understood the
exigencies of the situation and recognized
the rights Of the people
