WARNING REPUBLICANS.
Three Sets of Delegates from Cleye-
land to State Convention.

CLEVELAND, O., May 12.-As the result
Of factionalism in the party three delega-
tions will be sent by Cuyahoga county to
the Republican State convention in Colum-
bus June l. Two years ago Mayor McKis-
son obtained control of the county conven-
ton and the anti-McKisson men retired and
held one of their own. Each convention ap-
pointed a committee of fifteen to take the
party management in the county. The
Board of Elections, appointees Of Mayor
McKisson, recognized the McKisson COM
mittee, but the other continued at work and
was one of the forces that defeated McKis-
son for reelection this spring. The McKis-
SON committee has called for caucuses and
a convention to choose delegates to the
State convention the latter part of this
month. The chairman Of the anti-Mckisson
committee, ]. W. Holcomb, proposed to ap-
point another set of delegates direct, be-
lieving the State convention would seat
them and reject the McKisson men. Hol-
comb is anti-McKisson and has lately be-
come anti-Hanna as well, and naturally an
anti-Holcomb element arose. Holcomb con-
trolled a majority in his committee until
yesterday, when his opponents won over
two of his men and forced a meeting, which
was held last night. Holcomb and five
members withdrew from the meeting and
gave out list of delegates which had been
appointed by subcommittee previously au-
thorized by the whole committee. The nine
remaining members, being a quorum, con-
tnued their meeting until long after mid
night, deposed Holcomb as chairman and
elected Walter f. Thompson in his place.
Holcomb at once forwarded his list of dele
gates to Chairman Huling. Of the State CEN
trail committee, and these will undoubtedly
be the ones admitted by him to the floor of
the convention, as he and Holcomb are
strong advocates of the nomination of
Harry Daugherty for Governor. The con-
testing delegations will be the McKisson
delegation, TO be chosen in convention, and
the anti-Holcomb delegation, which is COM
posed of Hanna men. The Hanna men be-
lieve the committee on credentials will oust
the Holcomb delegation and seat theirs.

HONEY HDULTERATED.


CHICAGO, May 1.-THE senatorial COM
mittee on pure food investigation devoted
most of the day to the subject Of honey and
1t was shown by expert testimony that not
only was glucose used to great extent for
adulterating this article of food, but that
jobbers were using fraudulent methods in
handling the trade for honey substitutes.
1t was also shown that glucose was not
necessarily deleterious to health when used
as an adulterant. Oleomargarine and alum
baking powders had an inning and experts
on those two articles of commerce declared
the prejudice against them was based on
ignorance and Misrepresentation.

CHICAGO. May 12.-Judging from cable

mission as such through the mails. Among
them are 2.119 daily papers. which represent
piost Immediately and most accurately the
sentiment of the United States. Let us as
sumo that only one-fourth part of these are
in a position 20 act as collecting and dis
tributing agents for national Dewey testi-
monal, and that each one of these 800 is
willing TO pledge itself to the collection
from its readers and the transmission to the
appointed trustees OF the sum of 500 for
that fund. Surely this estimate is moderate
enough and surely the amount of each in
dividual subscription, which must strictly
be fixed and limited. is moderate enough to
prevent any newspaper from exploiting the
admiral for the purpose of advertising itself
And yet the aggregate of these subscrip-
tions would be s250,00O. Half of this should
go to the erection of a residence for the
admiral in whatever place in the United
States he might prefer to put 1t and the
other half for his personal use.
"As matter of fact We believe that
more than the number of periodicals we
have named would be willing and eager to
be included in the project. There is no rea-
son why the aggregate should not be corre-
spondingly increased with the rigorous limi-
tation CT each individual subscription to $500
SO that there should be no taint of self
seeking or of advertising in the affair. This
would be truly national and popular SUBJ
scription. The admiral would not be at lib
erty to refuse 1T, since it would not be
the creation of an obligation on his part
but only the recognition of an obligation on
the part of the Nation. He would not be
able to refuse 1t If the whole amount were
deposited. as it could and should be de-
posted, subject to his order before his arri-
val upon his native shores.
1.-The President of the United States. the
secretary of state and the secretary of the
treasury would be appropriate custodians Of
the fund, and their willingness to assume
its custody may be taken for granted"

or the neighborhood. He said he learned
that several were killed and many badly
injured. but as to the number he could rot
