The claims of the rival cities we're pre-
sented by distinguished citizens of each in
open session. The ballotting occurred in
| the afternoon behind closed doors. Upon
the first ballot Philadelphia received Il
votes, Chicago, 20, New York, Z, and ST.
Louis, 9.
On the second ballot the contest mar
rowed to Philadelphia and Chicago; the
New York votes went to Philadelphia and
the st. Louis vote was split between Phil
adelphia and the Windy City of the Lakes.
Philadelphia Won by the narrow margin
of one vote, the result being Philadelphia,
25, Chicago, "a AS the ballot was secret.
there is no record of the city for which
each committeeman voted.
1t was the desire of the leaders at the
meeting that the convention should be
held June 18th, and that date would have
been selected had it not been that it con-
fiicted with the date of the Rhode Island
elections. June 9Th was then selected, but
the date was reconsidered and changed to
the 10th in the hope and belief that before
that date Congress will have adjourned.

Washington, December 18.-The cur.

cept Mr.. John Walter Smith, governor
elect from Maryland; Mr.. Stallings, of
Alabama, and General Joseph Wheeler,
Of Alabama. Mr. Stallings, of Alabama,
has not been present in the House this ses-
sion, owing to illness, and one of his col
leagues announced that if present, he would
have voted in the negative. General
Wheeler is serving in the Philippines. Mr..
Smith is, therefore, the only member of
the House who did not go on record upon
the bill today.

itong. Recent advices from the north told
Of Aguinaldo's flight toward Bayambong
with three women and two troopers.
The stories somewhat conflict, but it
has been positively ascertained that the
promoter of the rebellion is in that imme-
diate neighborhood.
These advices also tell of a stiff engage
ment at Diugras, between a somewhat
large body of rebels and Major Swigert,
with detachment of the Third Cavalry.
Two Americans were killed and as many
wounded. Several Filipinos were killed.
There are prospects of releasing twenty
three American prisoners at Cabugaon.
An insurgent major, claiming to be in
command of one hundred Filipinos, who
have been guarding these prisoners, has
surrendered to General Young and has
written to his captains to deliver the pris-
oners TO General Young.
General Young's command is now d.
vided into six or seven parties, which are
operating in the mountains about I.aoag.
Several parties are hunting for General
Tino.
Captain McCalla, of the United States
cruiser Newark, has occupied Claveria
and Pantelona. The Filipinos surrender
ed 1000 rifles.

LIEUT.. BRUMBY IS DEAD. -
Disease Claims Another Zero of Manila
Bay.

Washington, Dec. IS.-Lieutenant
Thomas NJ. Brumby, who was Admiral
Dewey's flag lieutenant during the battle
of Manila Bay, died at O'Clock yesterday
afternoon of typhoid fever at Garfield
Hospital. His sister, Mrs. Walter lizard
Hayward, of Marietta, Ga, who came
here to be with her brother shortly after
his condition became critical, together
with her husband and Drs. Rixey and
Nesbitt, WAS present at his bedside when
the end came. Admiral Dewey, who was
a frequent caller at the hospital to learn
the condition of his fellow-officer and In
innate friend, was present few moments
before Lieutenant Brumby's death, but
the latter did not recognize him or any
of bis friends. For several days he was
delirious, ard fought the battle of Manila
over again day after day, gave commands,
and answered the orders of Admiral Dew
ey, with whom he imagined himself on
the deck of the Olympia. He became
greatly exhausted, and when the end
came it was peaceful and quiet.

NO VOICE OF COMPASSION.

The feeling that the fate of the great
empire depends upon the outcome of the
war makes every Englishman serious, but
no one whimpers, although sorrow must
come to many home as the result Of the
sweeping call for men.
Despite the gloom, not single sympa-
thetic voice has been heard outside the
British Empire. No country has spoken a
word of encouragement when disaster
crosSled hardest. Whatever mems opin'
ion may be, it is impossible for anyone to
refrain from giving the most ungrudging
admiration for the unhinching manner in
which all these troubles have been met.
Not a discordant voice has been heard,
but rather all parties are in line to face the
national danger.
The increasing disafection in Cape Colo
ny will probably demand that troops be
used first in bringing the Dutch residents
there back to the British flag and dis
couraging interference from any outside
Power.
This, it is believed will be the aim of the
Beers, who will endeavor to get some third
country to mediate in their behclf.

of ladies of the Richmond Chapter of the
Colonial Danes of America, that great
battleship shall be named the Virginia
and if all the battleships lately ordered
have not been named, one of them shall
be christened the Virginia.
After several other complimentary re-
marks on both sides, the ladies left.
They then called at the Navy Depart
ment, but we're several minutes late and
therefore missed Secretary Long, who had
good deal of business on hand and could
not wait for the ladies. He left word,
however, with the Assistant Secretary to
tell the ladies that he heartily favored
naming battleship Virginia.

Hon. Thomas S. Martin Is Reelected
IInifed Stafes Senator.

OUIkOu SL0kOo
Richmond, Va, Dec. 19.-The
election today of Hon. Thomas S.
Martin to succeed himself in the United
States Senate passed of without incident.
There were few spectators in the Senate
and fewer in the House to hear the
speeches nominating that gentleman.
In the Senate Mr.. Martin was nominal
ed by Mr.. Hal Flood, of Appomattox,
and in the House, by Speaker Saunders,
of Franklin.
The only feature of unusual interest
in connection with the election was the
fact that the independents who are not
vet admitted to the Democratic caucus
supported Mr. Martin. Senator Stands,
of Southampton, said that he was for
Governor Tyler, but that as the nominee
of the caucus he would support Mr.. Mar
tin. In the House, Mr.. Powell, of Bruins
wick, another applicant for admission to
the caucus, followed MIR. Stands ex'
ample.
Mr.. Dinwiddie, the only Republican
in the Senate, refrained from voting.

DYNAMITE FOR PHILIPPINES.
According to Report 1t Will Be Used in
Campaign Against Rebels.

Norfolk, Va, December 1.-THE ar
rival in this harbor of the schooner En-
ma G. Middleton, having on board eighty
five tons OF dynamite, consigned to the
United States Government, has given rise
to much speculation concerning the, des-
tination of the deadly explosive.
The strctest secrecy among army and
naval officials is being observed. From
semi official source it is learned that the
dynamite is to be placed aboard the
transport Sumner for transportation to
the Philippines, where it will be used by
the army in its operations against the
insurgents.
The Sumner, which is being fitted out
here, will sail within two weeks, it is
stated, going first to New York, where
she will take one of the volunteer regi-
ments.

ECLIPSE OF THE MOON.
A Perfect Night for Observing the Phe-
nOmenOn

With cloudless sky and a clear, cold
atmosphere, people of Tazewell had every
opportunity for advantageously viewing
the eclipse of the moon, which came off,
according to schedule, early Saturday
evening. The moon entered the shadow
at forty-fve minutes past six. The mid
die of the eclipse was at twenty-six min
utes past eight, and the moon left the
shadow at seven minutes past ten.
AS is we'll known, a lunar eclipse is
caused by the moon passing through the
shadow of the earth, and the curved out,
line of the earth's shadow upon the
moons disk formed one of the proofs
of the earth's rotundity.
Since the body of the moon is itself
non-lumiuous, and is visible. only by the
rays of the sun falling upon it, it would
seem that it would disappear entirely
from view during total eclipse. This
however, is not often the case. Even
when the moon is in the center of the
earth's shadow its disk is dimly outlined
in dull copper -colored light. The reason
for this is that those rays of the sur
which pass through our atmosphere tan
gent to the surface of the earth are re-
fracted or bent by the atmosphere into
the shadow and being deprived of theil
violet and blue elements they fall upon
the moon while in the shadow and faint
ly illuminate it with dull, red light.
AS the eclipse took place in the early
evening it was easily observed without
instruments of any kind.

LIVING ON GREAT REpUTATIoNs.

"The British army" La Patrie adds,
"has lived a century on the reputation Of
the Duke of Wellington, and perhaps the
navy also lives solely on the reputation Of
Nelson. The war in the Transvaal has
demonstrated the weak points in the Brit
ish army, the weakness of the British EN-
pire, the incapacity of its military chiefs
and the fictitious strength of its troops
who only had to fight savages.'
