PREPARING FOR CONVENTION.
Full Arrangements Made for Meet

Kansas City, Mo, March 13.-After a
session lasting until 100 this morning,
the subcommittee of the Democratic Ma
tional Committee met again to-day at 10
o'clock, and resumed the discussion of
plans for the National Convention in July.
1t was decided that when the commit
tee adjourns it's meetings here, which will
likely not occur until tomorrow, it will
be to some time in May.
Discussing the subject with the local
Railroad Committee, the subcommittee
decided that it could not change the date
for holding the convention from July 4,
without the consent Of the entire commit
tee, and the opinion was expressed that
no change of date will be made. The
rate submitted by the Railroad Commit
tee was passed upon as satisfactory. The
rate is the same as that conceded the

giant club house for headquarters duriag

Him Full Pardon.

Washington, March 13.-President Nc
Kinley has granted full and uncondi-
tional pardon to Capt. Bowman H. Nc
Gala of the navy, now serving in the

In 1880 Capt McCalla. then commander.
was convicted by courtmartial of striking
a. mutinous sailor with the back Of his
sword, and was sentenced to be suspended
from rank and duty for a period of three
years. In 1891 the uuexpired portion of
the sentence was RENTED by the Secretary
of the Navy and later on Capt McCalla
was presented TO the Senate as a captain
which would have restored him to his po-
sitiOn.
In view of the fact of Capt McCalla's
conspicuous service in the war with Spain
and later in the Philippines, the President
has granted him full pardon, which will
operate to restore him to his old rank and
position.
