Harrisburg, May 5.-Pennsylvania
will be well represented at the coming
Republican national convention. She
will have next to the largest delegation
on the floor of the convention, and al
though there is not apt to be any con-
test in which her Ga votes will figure as
an important factor, the character and
influence of the men in the delegations
Will be felt in the committee rooms and
In the discussions of party policies at
the hotels and in the private confer
ences of the party leaders. There will
be found among the delegates from the
Keystone state men of affairs in their
respective districts and men who have
gained prominence in the professions
and in the commercial world and 9TH
ers who are identified with the i'm
mense manufacturing interests of the
commonwealth. Colonel NJ. S. Quay,
who is one of the delegates-at-la
will head the delegation. and he will
be reelected to represent Pennsylvania
in the Republican national committee.
He is at present a member of the ex-
ecutive committee of that body.
In a number of cases the political
leaders Of districts have stepped aside
this year in order to allow business
men, manufacturers andother admirers
of President Mckinley who do not or
dinarily figure in politics to go to the
national convention. 1t is a true blue
Mckinley delegation. and there is no
need of instructions from the state or
| district conventions to bind the men,
bers of the delegations to Mckinley.
Several districts have yet to elect
their representatives. In the Cumber-
land-Adams-York district there is a
contest over the national delegates. A
dispute arose as to the representation
| to which York county was entitled In
the conference. Both sides named
Charles H. Mullin, of Cumberland, as
one of the national delegates. For the
other place DIR. Charles A. Dale, Of
York, is contesting the claim of John
l.. Hill. Jr., of Adams. United States
Senator Boies Penrose, Secretary Of
the Commonwealth Griest, Congress
man Bingham, former Congressman
Williams, Israel w. Durham and David
H. Lane, the Philadelphia leaders, are
among the district delegates. Governor
Stone and Attorney General Elkin, who
were proposed for elegates-at-large,
declined to allow the use of their
names, as they wished the honors to
go to others.
Here is the list of the Pennsylvania
national delegates as far as reported
to the state committee to date:
Delegates-at-Large-M. S. Quay, Bea-
yer, Pa; John b. Steel, Greensburg;
Frank Reeder. Easton; william Connell

LITTLE TRAVELLERS.

Two hapless little lion cubs strayed into Pittsburg last Saturday morning with no food and no apparent owner They were checked as baggage from Baltimore to Pittsburg. As the owner failed to appear and claim them, the youngsters were in about as bad a pre- dicament as the baggagemen about Union station. Happily a telegram was received last night saying that the lions had been sent to Pittsburg by mistake, and that they should be re- turned to Baltimore on the first train, which was done half an hour later.
 All day Saturday the cubs were without food or drink. The owner was expected every hour to come and take them away. Besides, no one knew what to feed them or how; and then, too. the average baggageman is not inclined to cultivate too close .acquaint- ance with strange lions that happen his way.
 The lions were in wooden box that ,shad a small opening at one end. When ever a baggageman peered in through the opening one or more little, paws, with long sharp claws, was thrust out at him. The lions wanted to play, but the baggagemen thought otherwise. Of course, the lions were not large enough to be man-killers, but the bag gagemen all looked upon them with suspicion.
 But when Sunday morning came, and with it no owner, the hearts of the baggagemen began to melt. The lions must have something to eat and drink. Meat was dropped into the box, a lit tie at time, which the cubs eagerly devoured. Water could not be given them so handily. The box must be opened Several of the stout-hearted baggagemen finally consented to do this The box was opened with the greatest care but not one of the lions showed any disposition to spring out at the throat of a baggageman. On the contrary the cubs appeared jolly and in mood to play. Friendship be- tween them and the baggagemen then grew fast. Ii was no time at all be- fore the lions were sitting out on the floor of the baggage room eating meat and drinking water from pan. Soon the cubs were playing like kittens on the floor near the red-hot stove. The baggagemen had thought of sending the lions to the Highland Park zoo to- day if the owner, failed to appear; but they changed their minds and conclud- ed to keep them about the place just for company. Moreover. as mascots for the new Union station, two lions could not be beat So it was with considerable disappointment that the baggagemen received their instructions last night to send the cubs to Balti- more. And the little lions seemed just as loath to leaye the warm stove and goback into their box as the men were to put them there. Te the baggage
 master on the trainSit was suggested that the lions would be more comforta- bIe if he would allow them to run about the car or to sleep on his over coat placed on the floor Of the car for them. The baggagemaster said he wouid think about tts-aP Pittsburg Times.

J. A. Wilson, a Boston lawyer, who is in Washington on business with the state department, said of the ship sub- sidy bill, against Which a number of republican senators are threatening to revolt: It is wrong in principle and if enacted into law will establish a vicious precedent. If congress really wants to build up our merchant marine it will amend the law, so that those engaged in the business may purchase their ships or have them built in any country in the world and give them an American registry. This proposi- tiOn to give q few favored individuals some millions of dollars for floating the American flag is little short of stealing, and I am of the opinion that Mir Hanna's pet measure will not be- come law at this session of con greSs." In order to quiet some of the republican opposition to the bill, Sen ator Hanna has indicated his willing ness to agree to it's being amended, but it is not yet certain that any sort of an amendment will get the bill through.

Will England accept the American iZed IIay-P -Pauncefote treaty which will start for London this week, or will it reject it, and invite something even less nalatable? That is one of the most discussed questions of the hour in Washington. Another is, will con gress wait until England signifies it's intentions. before passing the Nicara- with any certainty at this time, but the prevailing opinion appears to be that the refusal of England to accept the amended treaty would arouse a very bitter anti-EngliSh sentiment. which might result in legislation that would be disastrous to English inter- ests, instead of merely defending American interests, as the amended treaty does. The canal question is really puzzling and becoming more so. Some of the senators who talk lOudest for the canal bill are under suspicion of not being sincere, and no one need be greatly surprised if there is no ca nal legislation at this session, although at the opening of the session the canal bill was considered one of the certain ties. and it is fully known that public sentiment of the country, regardless of politics. overwhelmingly endorses the Nicaragua canal bill.

According to newspaper guess which may or may not be correct, but which carries not only the sign of cleY- erness. but of painstaking observation, the United States supreme court which last week heard arguments on one Of the cases involving the conStitutional1- ty- of the administration policy to- wards the islands acquired from Spain, now stands four in favor of the con tention that the constitution follows the flag and four against it, with Chief Justice Fuller in doubt. If that be correct. the decision will really rest with the chief justice. and he is d good, old fashioned democrat. While this guess may not turn out to be right, it was not wildly made. Members of the supreme court are human, like the rest of us, and they. indicate their be- lief by their talk, some of them by lecturing to law students, some by pri- vate conversation, and some by the ten or of the questions they asked of coun- sel 4hile the arguments were being made. The justices put down as be- lieving that the constitution follows the flag are Brewer, Harlan, White and Brown, and those holding to the con- trary, McKenna, Gray, Peckham and Shiras. It is uncertain when the de cision will be handed down, as more arguments on a similar case are to be submitted January 7th, but it is be lieved in Washington that if it be adj verse to the administration, MT Me Kinley will endeayor to have it held back until after the adjournment of c0nrreSS.

A Third of Country's Male Population
 Was Indifferent to the Election.
 The simple statement of fact that 6,5Q0.0UU men of voting age ill the United States did not go to the polls in the recent presidential election is sufficient to strike the attention or every citizen. A few of the absentees no doubt were in jails and insane asy- lums: more were unnaturaliZed aliens; more were restrained as in certain southern states by constitutional re- uuirements which they could not meet: but the great majority was maoe up of individuals who were indifferent to the suffrage of the contest TOT the presidency.
