Convention.
(By the Associated Press.)


Philadelphia, June 1S.-The Republican
National committee has again decided to
refer the principal contests in the State
of Alabama TO the convention to be in
vestigated by the Committee on Gre
dentias The leaders thought Saturday
that they had succeeded in securing an
agreement for the elimination of the Of
fee holders and the seating of an equal
number of men from the two delegations
to make full representation from the
State. Obstacles were, however, found
in the way OF this proceeding in large
part of the State and when the matter
was taken up in the committee today that
body decided to put none of the delegates
from the State at large or from the
Third and Fifth districts on the temper
airy roll.
After an hours sitting the committee
concluded it's ante convention labors and
adjourned sine die. Aside from the ac-
ton taken upon the Alabama contest
the most important matter which came
before the committee at today's meeting
was the resignation of Colonel Swords
as Sergeant alarms of the convention.
His resignation was accepted in a eulo-
CYSTIC resolution.
Committeeman Tiepke, of Rhode Island,
secured permission TO withdraw his reso-
luton concerning the representation of
non Republican States in Congress from
the table for the purpose of presenting
it to the Committee on Resolutions I'M
prejudiced by committee action.
The delegates from Alaska, John E
Held and w d. Grant, were admitted
TO seats as were those from Hawaii, Col
Samuel Parker and A. n. Kepoitoi. In

are usually 10000 troops, infantry, cav
airy and artillery armed with Mauser
rifles and Krupp guns. The cavalry
carry Mauser carbines. These troops have
been well instructed for ten or twelve
years by foreign officers. The armament
of the Taku forts consists of very heavy
Krupp guns and the approaches to the
forts from the Gulf of Pc Chi Ii are ex-
tremely difficult
The Notifications consisting of three
forts, large one on the right bank and
two smaller ones on the left bank, they
being constructed according to Chinese
models which are characterized by enor
nous dimensions. All the forts are armed
with numerous guns of the most varied
systems and calibres.
The large fort has three bastions, which
are armed with guns of large calibre for
firing over the breastworks. These bas
tions have so prominent position that
they may easily be seen at sea and the
guns placed upon them therefor, can be
readily dismounted
In the construction of all forts Of the
second zone the muddy clay soil of the
coast was used. which, during the dry
season becomes cracked and crumbles
very easily and the garrisons are con-
tinually making repairs. In Taku are
the materials for closing up the mouth of
the PeiHo. All the coast Notifications
have mines.

Losses by the Postal Frauds.

tBy The AS5Oclated PreSS.J
Washington, June 1S.-Postal Inspector
w. A. Smith, who has just returned
from the Cuban investigation, reported
at the Postofieje Department He says
the aggregate loss cannot be determined
until every Office in the island has been
inspected and the sales of stamps to
postmasters checked. This work will con-
sumo several weeks. Some person other
than those now in the Cuban service, he
believes, will be placed in control of Gu
ban postal affairs and a system of checks
inaugurated which it is thought will make
it impossible to repeat the populations.
According to Captain Smith the Cuban
postal system will be continued as an in
dependent system. The Director General
will have almost absol'te control.
