REPUBLICAN COUNTY CONVENTION.
DR.. George E. Baughman Endorsed for Con-
gresS and Delegates Instructed for Him.

Republican primaries in Carroll were held
last Saturday, to choose delegates to a county
convention, which convention met last Mon
day and selected delegates to the Congressional
convention, which meets at Towson next
Monday.
The chief interest in the primaries was in
Westminster district, the home of w. l. w.
Seabrook and DIR. George E. Baughnall, as
pirants for the congressional nomination. The
contest was quite spirited, but very much one
sided, DIR. Baughman receiving 2S1 votes to
ITO for Mr.. Seabrook. The regular organiza-
ton forces were nearly solid for DR.. Baugh-
man, and Mr.. Seabrook vote represented the
anti organization strength.
The result in Westminster district decided
the contest, and the convention on Monday
passed resolutions, with but Il few dissenting
votes, endorsing DIR. Baughman for Congress
and instructing the delegates to the Towson
convention to use all proper means TO secure
his nomination.
The convention was called to order at IL 25
a. m. by George Il. Sharrer, chairman of the
county central committee, the delay being
caused by anti convention caucusses. There
were number of Seabrook delegates chosen
at the primaries, and everything did not look
entirely serene for the Baughman side.
William Z. Wood, of Union Bridge, was
chosen chairman, and Louis E. Shriver, of
Union Mills, and A. Bailey Morelock, of
Westminster, secretaries. Mr.. Wood made
a speech upon taking the chair. eulogizing
Mckinley and predicting success in Novem-
Der. and several times evoked applause,
which was usually led by Delegate Walter K.
Rudy, of Mt. Airy.
When the districts were called and creden-
iials asked for, Louis Reese said he was the
only person from Uniontown district; that
several persons met at Uniontown last Satur
day, but no member of the central com niltee
was present to call the meeting to order, so it
was agreed that whoever could go of those
present should represent the district. A mo-
ton was made by w. S. Drach, of New Wind
sor, that Mr.. Reese be admitted to the con-
vention as delegate, aud the motion was
seconded. Jos. d. Brooks, of Westminster,
objected to his admission, saying it would be
establishing bad precedent; that no primary
was held, no credentials were presented and
the convention had absolutely nothing to show
that Mr.. Reese was entitled to a seat; that If
he we're seated, anybody, hereafter, when no
primaries were held, could come here and
claim to represent district, and some might
come that might represent anything or moth
ing. WIS. Droch alluded to his own admission
year ago, when he was without credentials.
A siandingng vote was taken, and Chairman
Wood declared the motion lost and Union
town district was without representation.
The fnllnwiuo committees wore annOI ME l.

WASHINGTON, Dec. W. Instructions
again won't out today to Mr.. Congsr ut
Peking, to sign the agreement which,
according to Peking advlces. already
has beeu signed by oil the other minis.
tors at tho Chinese capital. This in.
struction is sent with some reluctance,
because the agreement, as 1t now stands,
does not completely represent the Wow
of the United States government. But
it is believed tho most favorable oom-
promise that could be reached, unless
the negotiations are to be drawn out to
dangerous length, for all reports indi.
cate growing spirit of unrest in China
owing to the absence Of any form of ma.
tive government in Chilli and the ad.
jacent provinces. So the United Statos
accepts the "irrsvocable" condition i'm.
posed upon the Chinese government
though, after all, this expression Is
rather matter of form than of sub.
stance, for diplomacy knows no suoh
thing as 'irrevocable" agreement.
AS to tho British condition the oon.
vention Of Peking and Chi.L is to oon.
tinue until China has given sufficient
proofs of her intention to comply with
the conditions laid down IN the agree.
ment, it is stated that this will not
affect the status Of the United States
Mr. Conger has, by direction of his gov.
ernmcnt, notified the other ministers
that tho American forces will not again
be called into China for the purpose Of
occupation, that nothing more than q
legation guard Is to be maintained by
us ant the powers have accepted this
condition. 1t is, therefore. expected
here that the agreement will be signed
before the end of the cnrront month.

Having located the distillcry and filled

John spent his Christmas in the fed.
eral camp and was soon after sent to

the close Of tho war. On being released
the young man found himself without
friends or money, so he won't to work as
day laborer. He wrote to his broth
ers, but received no roply and supposed
they had been killed in the last desper-
ate fighting, or like himself, had boen
taken prisoners and scattered
Henry, who had got into II Mississippi

SENATOR HANNA WARNED
Ship Subsidy Bill Cannot Pass In Its
Present Shape.

Ship Subsidy Bill Cannot Pass In Its
Present Shape.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 81 Senator Hanna
has been warned by Senator Aldrich,
one of the most powerful men in tho
senate when it comes to shaping legisla-
tion, that tho ship subsidy bill, III which
Hanna Is SO dooply Interested, cannot
pass the senate in its present shape. 1t
has also been intimated to the Ohio sen
tor thatunlcss he changes his tactics very
materially there will bo littlo chance Of
getting any ship subsidy bill through ut
this session.
The changes which Senator Aldrioh
and some Of his associates propose to
make in the bill arc not expected 20
meet the approval Of Senator Hanna
and tho interests he represents They
are, in fact, dictated by interests un.
friendly to these which have been most
active IN pushing the present bill
Whether III tho end Senator Hanna will
agree to accept these amendments rath-
er than have no bill at all is matter Of
speculation. In his present temper the
Ohio senator would not accept these
changes, but it Is possible that III ordor
to get the subsidy principle engrafted
upon the statute books he will, whom
tho timc comes, acCede.
