INCUMBENTS RENOMINATED
Rhode Island Republicans Hold
State Convention at Providence.


PROVIDENCE, r. l., March 15-The
annual convention of the Republican
party of Rhode Island was held here to-
day. Gov. Elisha Dyer, of Providence
and the other state officers were unani-
mously renominated. The platform re-
ferred to the currency question and other
national issues as follows:
The uneXampled abundance of money
in all parts of the country is complete
refutation of the contention that an easy
financial condition can be secured only
by debasing the monetary standard, a
triumphant issue. Never in history were
more splendid achievements won and
grander opportunities opened at so little
cost of life and treasure as in the war
with Spain. America has suddenly be-
come one of the dominant powers of the
earth. Her voice must be heard in the
council of nations. The new situation i'm
poses upon us new and. greater RESPONSE
bilties. Although these have come I'M
sought, they will be met squarely by the
Republican party, which has never evad-
ed responsibility. We have confidence in
the loyalty of the people; confidence in
the great party that has so long shaped
the destinieS of the republic; confidence
that this same party will solve success
fully the new problems presented; conf
dence that the principles of American
liberty and humanity will ever follow the
flag. This confidence is made firm and
enduring by the fact that the admins
tration of the government is in the hands
of the Republican party, and at its head
stands the great statesman, William Nc
Kinley."

1t Looks as Though the Coney

Would BE ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Jul
liam AVerse to Another Expe-
rience in California;

NEW YORK, March 15.-William A.
Brady, representing Jim Jeffries, and
Martin Julian, manager of Robert Fitz-
simmons, met today to consider the bids
made for the proposed fight between
these pugilists. AS soon as Brady and
Julian received the $4,000 bid of a San
Francisco syndicate, through II. P. Tay-
lor it was taken up. Julian said that ii
any person connected with the National
Sporting club, of San Francisco was con-
nected with the new syndicate he would
not accept any proposals from that body
In fact. he said, he would rather have
the bout take place in the East, as their
experience in California in the fighting
line was not agreeable, either to himself
or Fitzsimmons. Brady then asked Mr.
Taylor what he was prepared to concede
for picture privileges, and the Western
representative replied that the purse was
large enough to cover all that Brady
objected and so did Julian. Both claimed
that the picture privileges would prove to
be large factor in the matter and that
no club offer would be considered unless
- the participants in the bout should re-
ceive percentage of the profits arising
from the production of pictures of the
fight. Brady said:
l II SlNt d SUM equal 10 30 per cent III
the net receipts of the fight for the priv
ilege of taking and reproducing these
pictures.
Mr.. Taylor then asked for time to COM
municate with the San Francisco people
whom he represented. that he could
find out what terms he could offer
w. b. Gray. representing the West
chester club, offered purse of 81 600, but
would not cOncede any privileges to the
fighters, claiming that the purse was in
itself sufficient. His offer was tabled
quickly. Then came the Coney Island
clubs representative, John P Dunn. He
said the club was willing to put up Il
purse of s20,000 and also. so far as he
knew, to divide the proceeds of the pic
ture privileges equally between the con-
testants and the club. He also requested
twenty-four hours time to enable him to
communicate with the mana cement of
the club.
1t was finally agreed to give all parties
twentY-four hours to make final offers
There will be another meeting at 9
O'Clock to morrow afternoon when il is
thought a final settlement will be ar
ranged.
