Columbus, April 26.--The Republican
state convention proved concluslvely
three things. The wires which control
the Ohio Republican machine, are
laid direct to Washington. General
Grosvenor is beyond question the most
unpopular Republican In Ohio. Hon.

Columbus, April 26.--The Centennial
commission will, in the next few days,
commence legal proceedings with
view to having its official status dc.
termined by the Supreme court and al
so whether or not the commission has
the right to expend any or ull of the
S5O0,000 carried in the general appro-
prlaclon bill.
Colonel Kilbourne, president of the
commission, stated that a voucher for
some expenses incurred by the COM
mission was to be presented to Auditor
of State Guilbert for payment. If
payment were refused, and 1t is ea-
pected that it will be, then the matter
will be taken to the Supreme court at
once for decision.
The members Of the commission hold
to the idea that they continue in ex-
istence as commissioners until their
successors are appointed. 1t Is upon
this basis that they will proceed. II
the case goes against them, then 1t
seems that no one is authorized to ex-
pend the $500000 appropriated.
Two meetings were he'd yesterday
afternoon by the members OF the com.
mission. During the afternoon meet.
ing recess was taken, during which
the members held conference with
Governor Nash relative to calling a spe-
cial session of the Legislature. The
Governor gave them no hope, however,
that he would do so.
| A resolution was then adopted to the
effect that the dignity Of the State and
justice to the citizens of Toledo and
the State demanded that a special ses-
sion be called, In order that proper
provision be made to carry on the cen.
tennial.
At q conference between Senator
Hanna, Governor Nash, General Dick,
Congressman Grosvenor, Sen. punnam,
Director General Ryan and the Lucas
county delegation, Governor Nash pos
! itively refused To call special ses-
sion. The Toledo men pleaded hard,
but the Governor was firm.
Some warm words followed. VIII,
| liam Sheridan, an alderman of Toledo,
and O power in the Hanna faction In
the Frog city, became excited. He
arose and denounced the action of the
Governor as small. He said: "You
will not give us this centennial. You
will make It a failure. warn you that
you will not succeed, Either you will
give MS the centennial, which the peo
pie of all the state desire and to which
the state Is absolutely committed, OIL

support the Democratic nominees for
the Presidency and the vive Presi-
dency. They declare In their mani
festo that they hope TO be in position
to render the "regenersted Democracy"
more effective. service than In 1896.
Much mistaken as they may nave been
then In regard to the currency, they
had the courage OF their opinions; aud
they left the Republican party to de-
fend their principles, just as the Sound
Money Democrats refused to support
the Chicago platform. But the Lin
coin Republicans, as they name them.
selves, are now convinced that vastly
more important interests are at stake
than are involved in the currency ques-
tion, and that In Imperialism and the
Trusts are much greater dangers than
any which they assumed to lurk be-
hind the Gold Standard AS good
citizens, therefore, they have resolved
to put the Silver question into the
background in order to gather all their
strength to meet the new evils which
confront the country. TO this end they
are willing to unite with all
others who agree with them on the
main issue.
Still another indication Of the politi'
cal drift in the same direction is given
in a dispatch from Indianapolis that n
delegation representing the Democrats
of Indiana is ON the way to William j..
BRYAN, bearing an important commun-
lcatlon. These representatives will
state to him that it is the unanimous
opinion Of his political friends In In
diana that the national platform should
not be burdened with free silver, but
should deal only with living issues.
They are taking to Mr.. Bryan letters
from a great number of Indiana Dem
ocrats who were outspolSen for Free
Silver in 1896, and who would be yet
in It's favor If they were not fully con
vinced that more important issues are
pressing the silver issue out Of this
years campaign, and that 1t would be
a dead weight rather than a help to
the Democratic party.
All these movements are so many
signs Of spontaneous tendency to n
union Of all the elements of opposition
to the Republican party on broad and
liberal platform. Six months ago such
a union seemed wholly impracicabie.
But what the Democrats could not ac-
complish for themselves Republican
administration have obllglngly done
for them. The spirit betrayed by the
Porto, Rcap tariff act could not fall
to make profound impression upon
the country. AIen of all parties-Sound
Money Democrats, Silverites, Inde-
pendent Republicans and Populists-
have come to prompt recognition OF
tho truth not only that the monetary
; standard has been settled for many
years, IL not for all future time, but
that the most momentous issue which
has arisen in the history Of the govern
ment now presses for right solution
When the American people have O
common object that rises above the
claims Of party they are not at loss
for its attainment 1t will be for the
Democratic National Convention IN
Kansas City to determine whether the
movement against the Republican par
! ty shall be frustrated OF whether Il
| shall culminate In great victory al
! the ballot box In November.

A terrific fight was made against
the selection Of Grosvenor as one of
the Big Four. He sat upon the stage
and listened to what would have, been
unbearable to any other man No ef
fort was made to conceal the fact that
the great majority Of the delegates
were unwilling to send to the national
convention as delegate-at-large man
who seems to delight in offering graf
uitous insults to those with when he
comes in contact, He received the
broadsides unfiinchingly aud seemed
to look upon his final selection as a
victory. Attending the convention
as member of the Big Four cannot
be considered anything but an honor
and all honor was taken away from the
choosing Of General Grosyenor. Mark
Hanna's dat refusal to accept the hon
or alone made Grosvenor's selection
possible. The bitterness of feeling
against the man makes him almost
an object of pity and 1t is safe to pre-
diet that his political career will end
with his retirement from the present
Congress. Hanna urged the conven-
ton to send him because Hanna needs
him in that business which he says he
must proceed to do.

Constantini, holding the book, and the Bishop of Potosi, Mgr. Montes de Oca, the palmatoria. At about 1850 he arose and gave the sol- emn papal benediction in triple form.

matically strikes the tube sharp blow, | thus loosening the filings and permit ting another wave to be recorded. With the apparatus described a speed of about twenty words a minute is ob-
 tainable, and by employing in every case the high vertical wire which inten= sities the wave effect and which is orig inal with MMr. Marconi, the latter has
 gradually succeeded in increasing the
 distance over which ineligible mes sages can be sent from three miles Ill, May 1S97 to over eighty miles In Sep tember, 1899.
 The principal defect in this system of
 telegraphy is that as the electrical waves which emanate from the trans hitter when the key is depressed radi- ates out into space in all directions they affect every receiver that lies within the area of their influence. Thus, for in stance, were a message intended TOT Newark sent from New York, 1t would likewise be recorded at Poughkeepsie, New Haven and other points. assuming, of course, that receivers in proper ad- justment with the transmitter were placed in those cities To overcome this difficulty, MT. Marconi 1t is under stood, is at work upon reflector, by means of which he hopes to be able to project the electric waves in an almost parallel beam and in any desired dlrec- tton, in much the same way that the rays of searchlight are focused. How far this will prove effective remains to be proved by subsequent experiments, but it is safe to assert that before the Marconi system of telegraphy can be adopted on anything like an extensive scale some scheme will have to be de- vised whereby message intended for certain locality will be recorded there, and thero only.
 The question which naturally arises is, What future use will be made of this method of transmitting signals? That wireless telegraphy will ever re- place the method of telegraphy now in general use for commercial purposes is scarcely likely, owing to the apparently insurmountable defect just referred to. On the other hand. such system should prove of great value in certain cases as for instance in communica- ting between lighthouses and the main- land, in warning a vessel of the ap- proach of another during a fog, in send ing dispatches between war vessels at sea, or in signalling from one army corps to another during campaign, and thus doing away with the necessi- ty of running wires.-William Lafidge in Electricity.

PRESIDENT HADLEY'S TRIP,
Cincinnati Tribute to Yale-Mr Had

Cincinnati Tribute to Yale-Mr. Had ley's St. Paul Speech.
 Cincinnati, O., Jan. 1s.-The Cincin-
 natl Yale Club gave dinner last night to President Hadley of Yale at the Queen City Club. About a hundred guests participated. Responses to toasts were made by President Hadley, Hon. w. H. Taft of the United States Court of Appeals, President Howard Ayres of Cincinnati University, Joseph Wilby and W. A. Decamp. President Hadley presented the purpose of his mission, which is to secure from the alumni s2.000,000 to erect new buildings at Yale. Judge Taft sopke on the new administration of Yale into which he entered with all the more zeal because he himself was the first and most ar- dent supporter of President Hadley for President.
 President Hadley of Yale University left Cincinnati this morning and is now on his homeward journey.
 President Hadley will make one or two stops for short rest and relaxa- tion before his return and will proba- bly, arrive here about Saturday even- ing. Mrs. Hadley. who has accompa- nied him, will return with him.
 Upon President Hadley's return he will take up the executive duties at once. Plans for the bi-centennial will devote much of his time to perfecting them. A number of corporation meet ings are to be held in a few weeks to discuss the bi-centennial plans.
 President Hadley said among other things in his St. Paul speech:
 "A new development in the admins trative department of the university is the appointment of Walter Camp as treasurer of the Yale Field and Gradu- ate Advisor in Aathletics. You prob ably remember how chaotic before was the administration of college and uni athletic enterprises. Some thing has been done by the organiza- tion of the Financial Union of Yale athletics which handled all the income, and even then the income was handled by one body this Financial Unionl, the on capital account were made by another body (the Yale cor and the control was eXercis ed more or less effectively by a third (the regular university authorities).

BOGUS NEWS FROM LONDON.

The bursting into tears of the Queen at each report of the battles where Eng
 lishmen are killed and wounded and the scenes outside of the stock ex change where men are reported to meet you "at every step with ruin and de- spair stamped on their faces,'' are of the type of imaginary wigwags that are slipped across to you by cable and which no one here has heard or noticed. England feels that she has struck a enag, very tough snag, in fact, but she feels sure she will root it up and proceed to a successful finish, and it is very long odds that she will. But you can heavily discount the yarns about her majesty's flood of tears and the "despairing faces" seen in the imme- diate vicinity of the stock exchange, or for that matter, anywhere else, except in and about those parts of the war office in Pail Mall where the public are admitted to read the lists of the killed and wounded as officially cabed from South Africa.
 Perhaps these stories that go your way by cable might be fairly described in the same terms as were used the other day by London paper; which re- marked that the getting away of Win ston Churchill from Pretoria was ''an escape of gae. ."-London Letter in Philadelphia Enquirer

l Now, owing to the efforts of MT. ! Brooks, MT. Berton and others, 1t has
 been arranged, without any question, | that the debt on the Yale Field will all
 be paid off before the next annual
 meeting of that corporation. The Field will then be transferred to the president ] and fellows of Yale university. Walter
 Camp will be appointed treasurer of the
 Yale Field; the managers of the differ
 ent athletic interests have arranged to
 place the revenues under the control of permanently constituted board of which MT. Camp will be member, which
 will result in affairs being administered in unity--the student part as well as the corporation part MT. Camp himself will
 give to this matter the whole time which he has hitherto given to the writ ing of magazine articles of various kinds. He will give the students and
 the faculty the benefit of his advice; 1 and we hope his work will turn to much
 needed reforms.
 President Hadley then described the
 bcentennial building plans. He express
 ed the hope that before the year was
 over there would be a fence like the old fence where the new fence is. De- scribing the auditorium he said: Tt will have raised stage, level floor
 and removable seats, so that the floor can be used, according to the taste of the individual, either for a game of
 basketball, promenade concert, or an annual examinations"
 Now what are some of the things We may suggest immediate needs of the university? In the first place, we wish so to organize our work that we shall get leading place in educational affairs in the United States; so that we shall be looked upon not only as leaders,
 but as the leaders i'll the university life of the country In order to do this we need to get into closer connection with the schools and work in cooperation with them. Hitherto it has been the tendency of our colleges and unlversi- ties each to pursue it's own independent plan. Take the matter of entrance re- quirements; they have decided what they wanted to do--the universities have decided what they wanted to do Some 1 times those things have been good for the schools, and sometimes they have not But there has been a policy of isolation. An exception is to be made in regard to university policy in favor of 1 Harcard which has systematically | planned it's work in connection with the !! schools and has got itself position of I leadership of the schools in [ eastern Massachusetts. There has been fixed, however, a certain line of develop ment which makes Harvard very power- full there and more powerful than any | other university, but which has in restricted it also. It is not the first time that Harvard has had at once the strength and the weakness connect ed with definitely local character.

DEAD AT ONE HUNDRED AND
 EIGHT.

At the age of 10S years, Mrs, Sarah Doran Terry, an original Daughter of the Revolution, born at Pemberton, N. J., on Sept, 27. 1791 died at her residence 545 North Sixteenth Street on Sunday.
