WASHINGTON. March 24,-(Special)-
While there is little necessity for it, the
understanding among politicians now is
that the national convention in Philadel-
phia will be in ses-
Stringing out sion for four days. 1t
the Conventions Is also stated, by
those who profess to
know the promises made by the national
Democratic committeeman from Kansas
City, that the convention there Will be in
session for the same length of time. This
action is taken by the two committees in
order TO give the people who contributed
the money advanced to these committees
an opportunity to make good" In other
words, Philadelphia guaranteed to the
Republican national committee $l00000 in
orGer to get the Republican convention of
1900
The Kansas City committee, which came
TO Washington 10 endeavor to get the
convention for their town, not only de-
posted a check for $50 coo with the DEM
ocratc national committee, but, further
guaranteed to increase the sum from
$4,000 TO 100000. BY making this financial
maneuver they captured the convention
very easily. This, however, was only ac-
compIShed after the Democratic national
committee guaranteed to keep the con-
Nenrion in session for four days in order
that the people who contributed the mon
ey Tor Kansas City would be able TO get
- Jun W AOtCIlllOI Ol the QGleSdteS and
visitors IN that town until they got at
least $lO0OOO so that the citizens would
not lose anything by having to give the
committee so much money in order to
gain the convention prize.

chief of the United States army, and Gen.

This will give the next legislature an on

In connection with the case of Senator
Clark there seems to be a disnositior ~
the part of the majority of limited So VI
senator's to dodge a vote, not only on ~
Montana case, but also on the pronositio,o
to give Matthew Stanley QUAY a senate
rial seat, by grace Of his appointments
by Gov Stone, Of Pennsylvania. AS 7
have recently stated in Washington die
patches to the o b e, there seems little
likelihood that the senate will reach a
final vote on Mr.. Quay's case before con-
gress adjourns for its usual summer re-
cess. The case will be pushed as rapidIv
as possible by Senator Penrose and other
friends Of Mr.. Quay, but it Is doubtful
If enough speed can be had to get vote
on the case at the first session of this
congress. have heretofore pointed ont
too, that if Mr.. Quay Is not given his
seat before the summer adjournment
he will not be at all anxious regarding
the action of the senate on the opening
days Of the last session Of the Fifty-sixth

Mr.. Quay is perfectly satisfied, and.
