quired on his part. especially when
he was called on to fog an unruly
obstreperous country girl, weigh
ing twenty-five pounds more than
himself.

KANSAS CITY, June 27.-The first
arrivals for the Democratic national con-
venton came in yesterday They were
John J. Fitzgerald, delegate from
Kings county, N. Y, and Jacob Rup-
pert, Jr., of New York city, an alternate
at large. Both are quoted as saying they
do not favor the free silver plank in the
Democratic platform.
"There are 80 many issues more impor.
tant,' said Mr.. Rupert, that l think
free silver need not be mentioned at all.
The party in the east will not stand for
free silver"
Sterling Price of Paris, Tex, arrived
here and began arrangements for open
ing headquarters for Congressman Will
liam Sulzer of New York, who is expect.
ed on Friday or Saturday. Incidentally
Mr.. Price started boom for the New
Yorker for vice president.
"The west knows" Mr. Price is quoted
as saying, that the candidate for vice
president must come from the east. II
ought to be New York. Hill is out of the
question. Sulzer is the man who appeals
to the elements we need to carry New
York"
Although the Democratic national com
mittce will not meet here until Monday
next to select its temporary officers, con-
siderable gossip is being INDUCED in as to
the selection OF temporary chairman. The
Star last evening said that it lies appar-
emily between D. A. Rose, mayor of Mil
waukee, and Governor Charles N, Thom-
as of Colorado. with the chances in ia
yor of MIR. Rose.
Gangs of men are working day and
night to complete the new convention
hall, and there Is every assurance that
Kansas City's promises Of suitable
meeting place will be fulfilled. The hall
directors say they will turn the building
over to the national committee on Mon
day. Already the decorators have begun
their work on The interior of the big
structure, and the finishing touches and
smaller details are being put on.
Charles A. Towne, Popullst nominee
for vice president and chairman Of the
Silver Republican national committee,
has written that he will reach Kansas
City on Friday. General h. q. Corser,
secretary and treasurer Of the Silver he.
publican committee, is expected to arrive
today to begin active Preparations for the
convention, winch will meet at the same
time as the Democratic gathering.

WASHINGTON, June 21.-The mat
ter of the shipment of American citizens
at New Orleans and other points for
South Africa on British transports carry.
ing mules and horses to Cape Town and
other South African ports has been fire.
quently brought to the attention of the
department of state, which is now in rc-
ceipt of dispatch from the consul gen
eral of the United States at Cape Town,
dated May 30, pointcdly referring to this
matter. Hundreds of young men, it il
stated, ship for the voyage at from Slo
to S15 for the trip. They arrive without
means, and while some of them enlist in
the army, others become objects of chari-
ty, and still others reship for different
ports. The most annoying feature of the
situation. Mr.. Stove remarks, is that his
consulate general is flooded with letters
from the friends and relatives at home,
which courtesy demands shall be answer
ed, whereas the time spent in lnvrStig;l'
tions that it may be necessary to make
should be devoted to other duties.

WILMINGTON DELAWARE. WEDNESDAY,, JUNE -. 1000
BISHOP DOANE HONOREb.
Sets Degree From Trinity College.
Predicts Good Results In China.

LONDON, June 27.-Bishop Doane OF
Albany went to Dublin today. Previous
to sailing for home he will receive the
honorary degree of ID. d. from Trinity
college, which is regarded as even a
higher distinction than similar h0nors
from Oxford and Cambridge, which he
has already received.
When Bishop Doane was presented to
the Prince Of Wales at state concert,
the prince Immediately introduced the
subject of China, saying there was bad
business out there and expressed the
earnest hope of an early settlement Of the
troubles. Dropping into a serious tone,
the Prince of Wales asked. What do
You bishops and missionaries think of
Lord Salisburys speech?" referring to
the prenier's recent Exeter hall address,
in which he requested the missionaries
not TO get themselves martyred, Or, il
this was inevitable, to get themselves
martyrcd as quietly as possible. The
prince was much amused by the premier's
frankness, but he was surprised when
Bishop Doane, speaking for himself. said
he took no umbrage ut the speech, As he
believed Lord SaIisbury's utterances were
statesmanlike. 1t must be remembered,
the bishop continued. that Lord Salisbury
was speaking solely in the role Of for
'eign minister and his remarks were well
worth consideration by missionaries the
world over. The Prince Of Wales was
much gratiied at this exhibition of
breadth of mind on the part Of the Amer
lean prelate and shook him warmly by
the hand.
Bishop Doane said to press represent
ative that he was much delighted with
his visit to England and meeting the
Archbishop Of Canterbury, the dean of
st. Paul's and other old friends, as well
AS meeting so many missionaries. Natu-
rally he had heard about China and said:
Il believe good to the Christian cause
will be the outcome Of these troubles.
Whether that end will be achieved by
war against all China or whether it will
be preceded by partition of the empire
cannot say. But it is certain that the
spectacle of all the powers working ,har-
moniously in the far east in such drisls
BODIES successful missionary work in fu'
tire wears,

WASHINGTON, June 27.-Director
Merriam of the census bureau requests a
contradiction of the report which has
been circulated in some portions Of the

enumerators are not to be paid promptly.

the supervisors, are received. We re.
quire of necessity the certificate by su.
pervisors. but when this is forthcoming
we have the money with which to
promptly pay all these claims" OF the

POLITICAL
NOTES.

J. Edward Addicks and J. Frank
Alice are just as sangulne as ever
that the Republican party will
sweep this State in November and
elect every Republican candidate
from Governor down to Coroner OF
| New Castle county. Mr.. Addicks
is tired out after his fight before
the National Committee, but it does
not take him long to get recuperat-
ed and put on his fighting armor.
He is more determined than ever to
60 in and carry Delaware this COM
ing election and show the people OF
the country that this is a Republi.
can State. With an honest vote
! and fair count Delaware has had
a Republican majority for the last
20 years. But the Republicans
have never had fair show in Della
ware. The damnable disfranchis-
ing laws have been used against
them and not only colored, but white
Republican voters were kept from
voting for years. Even real estate
owners were put to great deal OF
annoyance and Inconvenience to
get registered. so they could vote
on election day. Democrats had
no trouble for if they had not paid
their county tax a receipt was sent
to them all the same. This nj
quitous law was conceived by the
leaders, who reaped the benefit Ct
the fraud and were looked upon as
honest men. The only thing that
now stands in the way OF the voter
IS to see that he shall be properly
registered. so that he can vote
when election day rolls around.
1t is surely worth to every voter
one dollar, the registration fee
+ charged to have say in who shall
be our President during the next
four years. Plenty of work with
fair wages is much better than free
soup houses and no work. The
workmen OF this country have had
such times and have no notion to
try them again SO soon. Then.
again, Republicans do not care to
give them chance to control the
j Legislature and pass such laws
as those passed in Kentucky and
about to be passed law in Mary
land, disfranchising the colored
voters by the wholesale. Delaware
has been under the yoke of the
Democratic rarty too long, not to
welcome any change IN our laws
that will attract new capital to our
State and make it grow as it should
in wealth and population.
