WASHINGTON, D. c., December T.
Senator Scott, of West Virginia, who is
the national committeeman for his
State, is being bombarded with tele-
grams and letters from the cities which
desire to entertain the next Republican
National Convention. The list of ap-
plicants is quite large, including Chi
cago, Kansas City, Omaha, San Fran
cisco, Denver, Cincinnati, Philadelphia
and New York.
81 have not made up my mind" said
the Senator yesterday, "and even if !
had, / do not think l would make my
decision known. l was discussing the
matter with Joe Manley this morning,
and if l could have my way | think ]
would select San Francisco. l would
not agree to the offer which the Cali
~fornians made four years ago, to defray
all the expenses of all the delegates, be-
cause this would be too much like char
ity. If, however, a minimum rate OF
railroad fare could be secured, so that
1t would cost the delegates no more to
go to San Francisco than to Chicago,
we could afford the few days extra time
the journey would require. The Re-
publican party is the party of progress,
and it would help us to hold a con-
vention further west than it has ever
been held before. AS a matter of fact,
we would be nearer the center of our
national boundaries in San Francisco
than in Chicago, for since the last con-
vention we have added Hawaii and the
Philippines. Seriously, though, ii
would be a great thing to take the Re-
PUBLICAN delegates across the country.
1t wouldn't be a bad thing, in fact, to
compel every Senator and Represen-
tative to visit the Pacific coast before
he is allowed to take his seat"
"We wish the convention would be
held in San Francisco" said Senator
Perkins. I'VE would give the delegates
a royal welcome"

ward free trade. and for their duplicity
toward certain of the foreign countries,
particularly Canada and China. He re-
fers to the treatment of the American
delegates by the management which,
he says, was nothing short of insult
ing and he is constrained to say that
such treatment of American represen-

was certainly most obnoxious and re-
pugnant to the American representa-
tives and opposed to American ideas"
He refers to the preponderance of
foreign delegates over the American
delegates, and infers from this that ex-
traordinary means had been employed
to secure the attendance Of foreign
delegates. Only a favored few of Am
erican delegates were desired.

SUFFERED NEITHER PHYSICAL
INJURY NOR NERVOUS SHOCK.
PITTSBURG, Pa, December IA
mad dog terrorized citizens on the
streets of Williamsburg and had things
all his own way until Miss Myrtle Nc
Ateer, the well known tennis player
and champion in the woman's double
of the United States, grasped it by the
throat and held the struggling, mad
dened creature until aid came to her.
The dog was coming up the street
and every one was making way for it
as Miss McAteer came out of the gate
at her home. Instead of attempting to
shun it, she suddenly clutched it by the
throat and choked the rabid animal.
She held the dog in this manner until
the conductor of a passing street car
came up ard he, instead of doing any
material good, only maddened it more
by kicking it. Finally she became so
exhausted that she loosened her grip,
but the dog was so weak there was lit
tie danger of his doing harm, at least
until he revived. He was killed later.
Without waiting for any n to aid
her, she went on to the store which was
her destination and attended to her
shopping. Her dress was badly torn
in the struggle with the desperate ami
NAL, whose bite meant death, but she
was not injured in any way and suffer-
ed no nervous shock.
