both young lads about 16 years old,
were arrested last night on warrants
charging them with grand larceny.
The larceny is Of cigars, tobacco and

missing all kinds of articles but has
been unable to catch anybody steal
ing, although he had man on watch
every night. He heard about those
boys having SO much tobacco and ci-
gars which they were trying to sell,
and informed the proper authorities
of the fact. Warrants were issued
last night for search of the house OF
Charles Rouelle, on Granite street, the
father of one Of the boys and officers
Buchanan, Gauthier, Cayhue and
French served the same, finding two
boxes of tobacco.

Was continued until Monday, as his
council, John w. Gordon, had to be
in county court today, Benefits out
under 5000 bail.

await the action of the grand jury,

charge of Constable Buchanan who

have 6 more in Caledonia county:
Dale will'probably get S of the 10 in
Essex county. The Is in Orleans

that he will have more.

The deeds of yesterday are in their
turn pledge and proof that what
we promise we perform. We are the
party Of today, with cheerful yester-
days and confident tomorrows.
We do not mean that the Philip
pines shall come within our tariff sys-
tenn or become part of our body poll
tic. We do mean that they shall,
under our teaching, learn to govern
themselves and remain under our flag
with the largest possible home rule.
We see our duty to ourselves as we'll
as to others.
We believe in trade expansion. by
every legitimate means we mean to
stimulate the expansion Of our trade
and to open new markets. Manila,
the prize OF the war, gives us inesti-
mable advantages in developing the
China trade, which is growing by
leaps ana DOunQS.
The choice of the American people
lies between the democratic policy Of
retreat under newly discovered
affection for the rights of man, and
the republican policy, which would
hold the islands opportunities for our
selves and our posterity.
The democratic attitude, towards
the Philippines rests wholly upon the
proposition that the American people
have neither the capacity nor the
honesty to deal rightly with them,
and the assumption that we shall
fail.

nese half breed whose name they had
never heard three years ago, and they

fore us during an entire lifetime.

FIST FIGHT
Texas Delegates Have a Ser
ious Disagreement at
CONVENTION
Henry Cabot Lodge Takes
His Seat as Permanent
Chairman.

Philadelphia, June 2o.-The com.
mlttee on credentials, after an all
night session, adjourned at six this
morning. They completed all busi-
ness A lively fist fight took place
between the two Texas delegates at
4.3o after the arguments had been
continued by the delegation from that
state.
Judge Bartlett was withdrawn as
candidate for vice president. Some
members of the National legislative
eague of women suffraglsts are dis
tributing appeals for declaration by
the convention favorable to woman
suffrage.
AS yesterday, Hanna, Roosevelt,
and Foraker received great outbursts
of applause, also WI Ling Fang, the
Chinese minister and his son, who
were on the platform.
Great punches of red, white and
blue pampas plumes were distributed
among the survivors of the 1856 con.
vention on the stage.
Gov. Wolcott opened the convention
promptly at 1870. Rev. G. M. Bos-
we'll offered prayer. The report of the
committee on permanent org ganization
was adopted.
Senator Lodge, the permanent chair.
man was escorted to his chair by
Roosevelt and Gov. Shaw, of Iowa.
The convention checred when Lodge
was introduced, and began his speech
Senator Lodge said: One of the
greatest honors that can fall to any
American in public life is to be called
to preside overa Republican National
convention. | thank you from the
bottom of my heart. We meet
again to nominate the next president
of the United States.
In 1897 VIC took the government
and the country from the hands of
President Cleveland. His party had
abandoned him; his policies were IN
ruin: legislation was at standstill;
public affairs were in perilous con-
dition.' Party responsibility had van
ished and it was an interesting dis
play of democratic unfitness for the
practical work of government.
We replaced this political chaos with
a President in thorough accord with
his party, and the machinery of gov
ernment again moved smoothly and
effectively.
Thus we kept at once our promise
of better, more efficient administra-
tion. In four months after his inau-
guration we had passed a tariff bill.
In the currency question we have
done better than our promise. We
have passed a law strengthening the
gold standard, improving bank laws,
buttressing our credit and refunding
the public debt at per cent interest,
the lowest rate in the world. Sound
currency and steady standard of
value are today safe only in Republi-
can hands.
We have settled the Hawaiian
question and the traditional Ameri-
can policy has been carried out.
We promise to deal with the Cuban
question. Again we have done SO
Cuba is free. The republican presi-
dent and republican Congress met the
new trial in the old spirit. We
fought the war with Spain. The re-
suit is history known to all men.
Have we not the right to say "we
have fought good fight, I'VE have kept
the faith, we have finished the work.
We were victorious in Cuba, in
Puerto Rico, and In the Philippines.
Should we give those islands back to
Spain? Never.

great town for it, and one couldn't go
anywhere in the city without seeing
girls working their jaws as if their lives

stopped chewing, and the sales fell off
very heavily. Boston was a pretty
good gum town at one time, but never
so good as our Western cities.

The last census showed that in the
United States there was an excess Of
girls between Is and 10 years, but this
age, as the favorite of young ladies, is
the general average Of north and

piled separately it is thought by census
experts that the Northern States would
show the favorite age to be two to three
years older, while in the south it would
probably be year or so younger.
The census statistics Of England
show an excess of women between 20

The degree of error which is introduced

Israel zangwill, the Jewish novelist,

student at London University. The eff
fort occupied four evenings-he always

paid f1O to have the tale published in
pamphlet form. 1t sold we'll at penny
a copy! One little shop in Whitechapel
alone sold 600 copies, and il even cot
on to Smiths bookstalls. Zangwill's
advice to wouldbe authors shows that
he has not made a name without suf-
fering- He says: IF you are blessed
with talent, great industry and conceit.
it is possible, by dint of shaving day
and night for years during the flower of
your youth, to attain to fame infinitely
less widespread than prize fighters. -
