WISCONSIN REPUBLICANS,
Delegates Gather at Milwaukee to Select
Delegates to Philadelphia.


MILWAUKEE, April 25.-Politicians
and delegates from all over the state
are hocling to town to attend the Re-
publican state convention, which meets
at the Davidson theatre at noon.
The principal business before the con-
vention will be the selection of four del
egates at large to the national Republi-
can convention at Philadelphia. Chair
man Joseph B. Treat Of the state central
committee, has ordered the selection Of
James G. Monaghan, United States
marshal of the Western district, as
temporary chairman of the convention,
and on this occasion will be sounded the
Wisconsin keynote of the Republican
campaign with relation to national poll
tics. That the administration of Presi-
dent Mckinley will be endorsed there
seems not the slightest doubt. Every
thing points to very harmonious gath
ering. There will be 1,O67 delegates in
the convention. According to the pro.
gramme everything points to the selec-
ton Of these delegates: Isaac Stephen
son of Marinette, Joseph B. Treat of
Monroe, James S. Stout Of Menominie,
and FL. August Leudtl1e of Milwaukee.
There seems to be no doubt that the
delegates at large and majority if not
all the delegates to be elected in the
various congressional districts will favor
the retention of Henry @. Payne as
Wisconsin's member Of the national
Republican committee

SITUATION SUMMARIZED.

Interesting Developments Must Soon Re
suit From Present Conditions.
LONDON, April 25.-All attention is
conferred on the interesting though COM
plicated situation in the Southeastern
portion of the Orange Free State, from
which developments of the utmost i'm
portance must ensue in the near future.
General Rumble, it would seem, has
found the Beers confronting him at
DewetsdOrp in stronger force than he
cares to engage, and so he is marking
time pending the arrival of support.
While General Rumble is preparing to
strike Dewetsdorp, Generals Brabant
and Hart are pushing along the frontier
of Basutoland, where they will be able
to Illustrate any attack on General Run
dies right, and Generals French and
Pole-C Carew are fastening from Bloem-
fontein to bar the Boer line of retreat
northwards.
In the meanwhile the burgher forces
occupying Thab N'Chu are in position
to fight delaying action, giving the
Boer forces at Dewetsdorp and Wepener
time to retire in case Of defeat, and it
seems as though General French must
dispose of this Thaba N'Chu force be-
fore he can reach the rear Of the Boer
forces opposing Generals Rumble and
Brabant, otherwise his flank will be
open to assault.
Need Another Paardeberg.
The Beers driven out of Leeuw Kop
will probably rally at Thaba N'Chu,
where a stiff fight may be expected.
Should the British fail in this attempt
to bring about another Paardeberg, it
must immensely affect the larger issues
of the war, as it will undoubtedly lead
to persistent repetition of the guerilla
tactics which have been largely respon-
sible for the penning up of Lord Rob
erts at Bloemfontein for so many weeks
During the course of General Alder
sons advance on Leeuw Kop, the Can
adams found themselves in a tight cor
ner Sunday near Donkerpoort. The
Canadian mounted infantry sent to rec
onnoiter the Boer position, approached
within 300 yards of farm flying the
hospital flag, under cover of which the
Beers opened such a hot fire on the Cam
adams that they were unable to at
tempt to retire until another force of
Canadians covered their retreat by
threatening the rear of the Boer posi-

NO SERIOUS LOSSES YET.
Duluth Fears a Repetition of the Fires of
Six Years Ago.

Six Years Ago.
DULUTH, April 25.-Although forest
fires are reported in all directions
around Duluth no very serious losses
have yet come to light. Sunday after
noon however, three freight cars be-
tween Hibbing and Virginia on the
Eastern Minnesota were destroyed,
with a number of telegraph and tele-
phone poles Considerable trouble was
reported on the long distance telephone
service between Duluth, St. Paul and
Ashland on account of few poles burn
ing and wires down.
The situation is chiefly serious from
it's possibilities as conditions are similar
to the summer of 1894, the year of the
disastrous fires that devastated many
towns and resulted in scores of fatali-
ties. Unless rains come soon repeti-
ton of that disaster is feared

LORNE DUKE OF ARGYLE.
Queens Son-in-Law Tnherits the Title of
His Father.

LONDON, April 25.-The succession of
the Marquis Of Lorne to the dukedom
of Argyle, owing to the death of his
father, creates a vacancy i'll the house
of commons for South Manchester,
which the marquis represented. 1t is
understood that had the seat been safer
for the Unionists vacancy would
have been created some time ago by the
queen making her son-in-law a peer.
Now the Unionists are forced to recon-
test the constituency, which only gave
the Marquis Of Lorne a majority of rs
at the last election. 1t is presumed
that the Princess Louise, daughter of
Queen Victoria and wife Of the Mar
quis Lorne, will hereafter assume tho
title of Duchess Of ARGYLL.

the charge of smuggling. Government
detectives have shadowed him since he

him. Learning that an employe Of his
had bought $4,000 worth of jewelry
without paying duty, they arrested
Spitzel, but We're unable to prove this
charge. He is a British subject.
