REPUBLICAN NATIONAL CON-
VENTION.

The republican national committee,
at Philadelphia, on Saturday, made Of
fetal announcement of the selection OF
temporary officer for the national con-
veDtiop, which meats tomorrow.
The temporary chairman of the con.
vention will be Senator L. o. Wolcott,
of Colorado, and temporary secretary
Charles w. Johnson, of Minnesota.
1t is generally believed that nothing
can prevent the nomination OF Gov.
Roosevelt for vice president, and that
he has decided to accept his fate. After
a conference of the managers Pennsyl-
vsnia swung most of her delegation for
him and others are expected to follow.
There is an abs Jlutely unanimous
disposition to carry out fully the wishes
of the President in everything relating
to the convention.
The contest for the Norfolk, Vir-
ginia, district was decided by the COM
mittee on Saturday. In this district
ex.CongressmaD George E. Bowden
and William s. Holland claimed to be
the regular delegates, while this honor
was contested by II. Fl. Libbey and
Alosh n. Martin.
John A. Wise appeared for Libby end
Martin. He contended for the regular.
ity OF the convention which selected his
clients, and attacked in bitter terms the
personnel of the opposition, growing
quite personal in bis reference to Mr..
Bowden. He charged him with de-
sire only to control the patronage with
out reference to party success, saying
that Bowden had himself voted the
democratic ticket.
Mr.. Bowden contdradicted in vigor-
Gus language Mr.. Wise's claim to regu-
larity, saying that he and Holland had
been elected almost two months before
they heard Of the pretensions of Libby
and Martin. He claimed that the con-
vention at which they were nominated
was called by the regularly appointed
district chairman, and that it was fully
Endorsed by the State committee.
The committee decided the case 10
favor of the Bowden delegation.

IN. A TIGHT coRNEF.

An xnstructive story For All Ama~
tt,.i. teur Fortune TeHers. ,,Sy,
At one of the recent church falrs
they had an imported fortune teller.
Her booth was fitted up In compliance
with oriental suggestions, her slippers
turned up at the toes, her features
were tinted to rich. light brown. and
her jewels had their most striking fea-
ture in their size. Among her patrons
was a tall, dark and distinguished
looking man who extended ,his aristo-
cratic hand without word. She drop
ped her luminous eyes after one look
Mt his face and began reading the lines
Of fate. lG .
"You should complete your college
course" she began. "You have learned
much. but It is In connection with the
speculative and doubtful. There is a
brilliant future for you, provided you
will concentrate your forces and dis
play proper tenacity Of purpose. You
are not convincing enough for a law
yer you could never keep the secrets
Of the medical profession, and you
lack the application requisite to sue
cess In the business world"
"How about the ninistryT'
absurd! You are so cynical and so
insistent upon following the lead of
pure reason that you have no religion
Next afternoon the fortune teller was
entertained at the parsonage. In the
smiling host she encountered the man
whom she had barred from the profess
slons and from business. She learned
from the talk about her that he is do
Ing grand work in the pulpit. but a
bright woman is never without an ex.
cuse.
"I charged you nothing" she laugh
ed, and no other reference was made
to the matter.--DetroitsFr Free Press.

ridges Statements.
WASHINGTON, Jan. l0.-Senator Hoar
replied TO the speech Of Mr.. Beveridge.
In the course Of speech, he declared
that practically every statement of fact
in the speech was refuted by govern.
ment reports received from Admiral
Dewey, General Otis and from, other
official sources. Where did Spain get
tho right to sell her rights IN the Philip.
pines. Mr.. Hoar asked. Where did the
United States get the right to buy and
sell people like Sleeps He was certain
that for all the wealth aud commerce
and glory which he had eloquentiy de.
pioted, the senator from Indiana would
not have great injustice done.
MIR. Hoar declared the Mlipinos had
the Spaniards hemmed in Manila and
the latter were obliged to surrender. He
tnonRht 1t would be Necessary to revise
the constitution before those Filipinos
could DO bought and sold. He did not
believe Mr.. Reveridge would advise the
American people to do this thing or to
do anything no base ~ 70 strike down
the infant Filipino republic.
The Massachusetts senator made fre.
quent references to and quotations. from
the reports of General Otis aud Admiral
Dewey and other officers in the Philip.
pines. These showed, he asserted, that
when Aguinaldo arrived in Luzon from
HonRkong the insurgents had An army
OF 10000; that In the islando OF Lu2on the
Filipinos maintained courts, scools, mu.
nicipal governments and churches and
that peace and order prevailed pretty
generally. Spanish prisoners were
kindly treated. "This," declared Mr..
Hoar, "is the condition Of things which
1t IL proposed to crush under our heels.
All thaG" he commented, 'you call
glory"
Mr. Hoar referred to Mr.. Beveridge's q
statement that the present condition of
warfare was duo to utteranoes in this
country. This. no denied and pointed
out that In December, 1893, the pres
