THE PAYNE RESOLUTION.
National mitteemen Discuss the
Change Of Representation.

Washington, December 16 The mem.
bers OF the Republican national commit
tee were received BY President Mckinley
Saturday at the White HOUSE. There was
no speeohmaking, the members Of the
committee simply passing through the
room and shaking hands with the Presl-
dent. After the reception the committee
men were grouped in front OF the White
House and photographed. The members
of the committee returned to the Arling-
ton hotel and assembled In session. Mr..
Payne Of Wisconsin, made . statement
as follows:
at Is well known BY members OF the
committee that l have intended to offeI
and advocate the adoption by the com.
mittes of . resolution recommending tbs
next national Republican convention
change the basis of representation In
subsequent Conventions. some time
since gave 30 the press for publication
the resolution which / had prepared
30 present to the committee upon the
subjeot.
"Brietly Ptated, 1t proposed to make the
national convention which nominates
Repu blioan, tickets and formulates plat
forms, fairly representative to those who
vote for Republican Platforms and Re
publican principles. The proposition
has received the support Of almost ths
entire Republican press of the country
and have reason to believe that upon
Its merits as we'll as upon grounds Of
- haa nfa las
number of the oinmittee.
~ have not In the slightest degrees
changed my views as to Its justice mol
have l this slightest doubt as to Its ex
pedisncy. Within day or two 1t ha,
encountered opposition which had nc
reason to anticipate. including that OF
the chairman OF this committee. 1t II
sufficient for me to say that out Of my
regard for his opinion and the opinions
and wishes of.others high In the council'
of the party to which. as loyal Repubii
can, feel prold TO defer, am
constrained not to offer the resolution
/ thank the committee for Its indulgence
and have made this statement only In
obvious justice to myself"
Senator Hanna briefly discussed thu
Payne proposition. although 1t was moi
formally before the committee. He sale
that he did not believe 1t was the provinos
of the national committee to inaugn rats
any such radical changes. Changes In
the basis OF representation, he thought,
should be left to tho convention TO dea
with. The sub-committee on arrange
ments for the convention was announced
rs follows; Manley of Maine. chairman

tion. Senator Hoar declines to attend be-
cause he thinks that what he will have to

Of life. We should have had no large ex-

We should not have oontradioted the

"R,ack week." as last week ~ now

Rumor has 1t that the question OF ex-

adopted and It is not unlikely that Sir
Michael Hicks Beach, chancellor OF the
excheuuer and other members Of the ca b.

THE NEWS IN LONDON.

London, December l6.-While General
Buffers reverse was an unexpected blow
to the public that had pinned its faith to
him 1t would APPEAR that the original
plan of campaign, II adhered to, would
have given better results, for the be-
sieged towns have shown themselves quite
capable of holding out As 1t is now, the
British forces are split up. have been Sc
riousiy Iepulssd, are unable to cooperate
and, at,any rate, for the present, are I'M
able to feaoh their detectives.
However looked at. the British position
is most unenviaDle and there Is great
cry for more troops. Lord Londonderry
urges the war Office TO send out 100. 900
more men. saying: Conceive the
effect on the empire If Methuen Ia forced
TO surrender.
On the other hand, there are people
who implore Englishmen not to make
fools OF themselves, and not to imagine
that few reversss make 1t necessary to
drain thu country of every man able to
carry d rifle.
