Chosen by PrOhibitiOnists.

WASHINGTON, Dec. Is. Representa-
tives of the various rival cities which seek
the honor of entertaining the next Repub-
lican national convention began active
work to-day. About twenty members of
the Hamilton Club, of Chicago, reached
here late this afternoon and established
headquarters in a handsome suite of rooms
at the Shoreham Hotel. The party is in
charge of Samuel B. Raymond, and is
made up of prominent citizens of Chicago.
Tonight a meeting was held, and the sem
ators and a large number of Republican
representatives from Illinois attende and
promised their cordial support in endeavor-
ing to obtain the convention for Chicago.
subcommittee were appointed to canvass
the national committee and keep up the
light to the end. Mr.. Raymond will be
one OF the speakers to advocate the adj
vantages of Chicago for the convention
city.
The Philadelphians who are already here
express themselves as delighted with the
result of their three days canvass in
Washington, and say they believe Philadel-
phia will be selected. They say the one
serious obstacle they have met is the
charge that Pennsylvania is in favor Of a
resolution basing the representation in the
national convention on the Republican
votes cast. which, If adopted, would cut
down the Southern representation. The
Southern delegates, they say, have an Idea
that Pennsylvania is for the propose
change, and they started out tonight to
counterfeit this impression. Contrary to
expectation, the delegation of New Workers
who were expected to-day did not put in
an appearance, but II is expected in force
tomorrow morning, when the representa-
tives from st. Louis are also expected.
1t is expected that the Southern national

hard fight against Mr.. Payne's plan for
a reapportionment of delegates in the con-
~vention, based on the Republican votes
cast. The statement is made that they
propose to act as a unit and cast their
votes on the subject of the selection of the
place of meeting in such q way as will win
for them most support in their fight against
reapportionment.

MUNCIE, Ind, Dec. 13.-The Muncie po-
lice are in a quandary and gamblers hold a
position of uneasiness since the recent de-
cision Of Mayor Tuhey in the disposal of
some cases resulting from raids by the po-
lice. There were three arrests and a great
amount of furniture was taken. In one
prosecution, on the charge of operating a
gambling room, the accused, job L. Swell
CART, was found not guilty, andt the poker,
crap. faro. roulette and stud poker tables
returned. In two other cases there were
convictions, one of the men pleading guilty
to being the proprietor OF a gambling room,
but the furniture secured at his place was
returned. because the prosecutors did not
see ii In use and could not testify in a man.
ner that warranted its destruction. Ac-
cording to the opinion of Mayor Tuhey, it
is necessary for the police to burst in doors
and catch the men playing cards or other
anne for money or chips which the police
know have been purchased with money. In
other words, it is almost impossible to con-
vict gamblers In Muncie. On the other
hand, the several raids that were made
caused some of the gamblers to ship their
furniture to other towns, and others have
closed their places and are afraid to re-
sumo business. Muncie never has been so
free of gambling houses as now, but sew
eral clubs are being Incorporated with the
secretary of state.
