FORM Mr.. Payne Of Wisconsin said to The
Republic correspondent this evening:
THE convention will take some action
toward reducing the Republican delegates
from the South. 1t may be only an ex-
preston that Congress should restrict the
representation in those districts where we
claim the Republicans are disfranchised;
but I am confident that there will be a
plank dealing with this question IN vigorous
language The National Committee in De-
cember thought best to leave this matter
to the convention. The present plan gives
every State double the representation In
convention that 1t has in Congress, without
regard to the party vote cast in the state.
with this plan in force the Southern
delegates are able to exert an influence en-
tirely out of keeping with their voting
power"

of the delegates from Alabama, which now

C.1PT.iIN VFLDE'S WARNING.
Would Protect Chinese Warshfp from u
Russian Ship.

San Francisco, Aug. 17.--Mail advices
from Yokohama, Japan, contain the fol-
lowing story regarding the stranding
of the battleship oregon on the Chinese
coast recently:
THE Chinese cruiser Hal Chi, COM
manded by Captain Sab, a thoroughly
Taku to Che Foo described the Oregon
in her perilous plight and offered her
valuable assistance, which was most
gratefully received by Captain Wilde.
The Hal Chi anchored close by to be of
further assistance if necessary The
next day a Russian cruiser came along
Her commander coming aboard the Ore
gOn eyed the Chinese vessel with SuS-
picion and asked what she was doing
there. On being told he shook his head
and said it would nevertheless be his
duty to take possession of her. Captain
Wilde nodded and answered, "Well, Tn
a bit embarrassed just now, but there is
ammunition aboard and my guns are in
excellent condition" The next day, af-
ter the departure of the Russian, Cap
tain Wilde visited the Hal Chi and
suppested to Captain Sab that as he
was protecting some refugees on board
it might be well for him to run up the
American flag to the fore. This was
done, and no questions We're asked by
passing cruisers afterward.
