The Engagements of General
 Wheeler and Miss Wheeler

To figure simultaneously as a war hero inc and soldiers sweetheart is surely to realize the Ideals of fickle public, so di- vsded upon its views in regard to the young woman of today who. presumably, differs radically from the sweet old fashioned" lady of years ago. A realiza- tion, however, of various ideals as to the practical side, the romantic, the ilial duty the sacrifice for ones country, all the at- tributes of either an olden time or latter day heroine is found more strongly in evil tence in Annie Wheeler than perhaps any other young woman who followed the flag across the seas. To those who advocate young women taking up professional Hfe, Miss Wheefer's work an army nurse will appeal to them with peculiar force. To those who place filial affection above all else, Miss Wheeler's devotion to her ia ther tas, too, been tested. And now the romance in a wcrnan's Fife Is being told talked of by the world, denied by the woman, just as all romances mus be. Miss Wheeler, therelfore as army nurse, as a friend and devoted child, the bride-to- be of a young soldier, happily combines the essentials that the woIcd demands in various types of the ideal woman.
 With her blushing denial of her engage ment ito Lieutenant Fiscus, which was re- | gently announced in the papers, she loses none of her charming qualities. but rather emphasizes the romance that all the world loves, and that is old and yet so strictly up to date since it is the love affair of beautiful young army nurse and hand y1,o ;c 6oAilt tfney hic country's flag. With the return of Miss Wheeler and General Wheeler from the Philippines the gossip has narrowed down to the probable date of their wedding days The old hero of two wars, escaping bullets and wearing his life jauntily on the end of his sword cannot escape the gos- siping tongues, and the young heroine of the war scarcely ended comes home to be gossipped about. The war In the Philip pines is uninteresting A seat in congress is of no consequence. What we really want ito know is the date of two wedding days. The young heroine in her white cap and apron blushingly denies that she is en- gagged Lets talk of the war;" she says instead.
 The old hero, when questioned recently in regard to his reported engagement to Mrs. George W. Childs, attempted also to change the subject; at the same time he de- clined to either confirm or deny the rumor
 'Tt would be ungallant to the lady" said General Wheeler, ito make denial, as that would have the appearance of repudi- ating any statement Mrs. Childs may have made. However, I am pretty certain that Mrs. Childs has said nothing concerning an engagement with me. I will gladly talk of any matter of public interest, but l must decline to discuss anything of a personal nature, especially when it concerns one of the genter sex"

ARRANGEMENTS FOR
 THE CONVENTION
Democratic Committee Finishes
 Its Work at Kansas City.
CONSIDERATION FOR PRESS
Floor Has Been Arranged So 800 Cor respondents Can Work With Ease and be in Touch With Tel
 egraph Companies

Kansas City, Mo, March 13.-After a session lasting tin 1:SO o'clock this morn- ing, the subcommittee of the democratic rational committee met again today at 10 o'clock ard resumed the dscusi1ion elf plans for the national convention in July.
 Discussing the subject with the local aaiiroad committee, the subcommittee de- rrded that 1t 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 tLnt no change of date will be made. The rate suom.eted iby the railroad ccsnmiJtee was satisfactory. The nate is ,lle same that conceded the republican national conven- ton at Philadelphia.
 Ex-Governor Stone. a member of the committee, when asked by a reporter re- garding the possibility of Benjamin Har- rison contesting with President Mckinley for the republican nomination. said: That's all stuff and nonsense. Mckinley will be renomnated by exclamation. No other can didate will even be mentioned. Then we'll beat him.
 Committee Compiet.s Its w. rk
 The members of the committee completed their work late today and left for their homes tonight. The committee accepted an offer made by the Kansas City club, the largest social organization of the city, which rendered the use of fits elegant club house for headquarters during the conven- tion. Especially satisfactory arrangements were made for the newspaper and telegraph interests. At a hall a space of thirty-fve feet in width by 120 feet in length, situated immediately back of the speakers stand, was apportioned the Western Union and Postal Telegraph companies and the Asso- ciated Press.
 Immediately in front of these quarters are situated on platfomms on either side of the speakers stand and three feet above the arena in Which the delegates and al ternates will be seated, a room was set aside to accommodate 600 special corre- spondents. Here each correspondent Will have ample room and be in immediate touch wbth telegraph companies. In addi- ton to the above, a school building si,u- ated across the street from the hall was appointed for the use of outside corre spondents. This building is two stories in height and contains thin,een large, light and airy rooms, in which wiH be placed tables, telephone and other aceommoda- tions for the free use of the press at times when the convention is not in session. The committee adjourned to meet May 2.
 During the day contracts were closed by the hotels flor housing several of the larger delegations, among them being Tammany, whose representative selected 125 rooms at one hostelry.

TENNESSEE REPUBLICANS
Will Hold a Convention on April l9-
 Ex ecutive Committee Meets

Nashville, Tenn, March 13.-The state re-
 publican convention will meet in this city
 on April 19 next. The state republican ex-
 ecutive committee met here today, and
 contrary to expectation, no extreme action
 was taken. This was in accordance with a
 decision arrived at last night in caucus
 of the Brownlow contingent. They deemed
 it wise policy not to assail the action al-
 ready taken by the various counties, but
 from all indications the national commit
 teeman's forces will dominate the state
 convention. Following the committee meet
 ing a call for a state convention was is-
 sued, the same to be held at Nashville
 April 19, for the purpose of nominating
 candidate for governor, railroad commits
 sloner two electors for the state at large
 and the four delegates of the state at
 large to tine national convention.
 This call states that all the delegates to the state convention must be elected at popular conventions to be held at the court house in each county April 2, except in counties where delegates have already
 been regularly and legally elected, and ex- cept in counties where conventions have already been called to meet on or before April IT,
 The conventions held heretofore are not to be affected. The basis of representation is to be upon the Mckinley vote. One important feature of the call is a notice that the facts and circumstances regarding the contests shall be submitted to the state committee five days before the convention The Evans men fear that the commission, which is to meet three days before the convention, will, in addition to supplying temporary roll. attempt to settle the com tests and seat Brownlow men. The final vote on adoption of the call stood 12 to 2, showing Brownlow in control by five votes.

MExICo's DRAINAGE CANAL
Inauguration of the New System Will

City of Mexico, March Inauguration of the drainage system of the Valley of Mexico will occur on Sunday.

 The government food inspectors have seized a quantity of American lard, said to be adulterated with tallow Representa- lives of the American concern which sent the lald here say that the stearine is added to the lard to prevent its melting in hot climates and that as stearine costs cents a pound more than lard, it is nc. added as an adulterant. The case creates much in- terest among importers.
 A large amount of American mining ma chinery Is being imported into Zacatecas, which shows increasing activity in mining in that section.

NAVAL CONTRACTORS
On Question of Using the Government
 Yards for Ship Building

Washington, March 13.-Naval Construct ors Bowles of the New York navy yard, Baxter of the Boston navy yard and Ssa'hl Of the Norfolk navy yard were heard today by the house committee on naval affairs on the relative advantages and disadvant- ages of building warsllips in government yards. Among the advantages of govern ment construction, as specified by Con- structor Bowles, are tihe maintenance of an organized force ready for emergency, the avoidance of profits, the saving of the cost of inspection and dn trial trips.
 Among the disadvantages given are that the government yards are handicapped by the cumbersome naval bureau system
 government yards pay from 10 to 30 per cent. higher wages than private yards; un- skilled and boy labor, sucll as private yards use to a considerable extent, is i'm possible; government work is eight hours daily as against nine and ten hours in private yards; the government yards give no guaranty of results, similar to those given by private yards. Mr. Bowles, com- pairing the Texas, built at the Norfolk navy yard, with the Indiana, built in a private yard, said that the former cost g per ceEt. more per ton than the latter.
