If I was to be considered as one of the delegates-at- large, precedent giving the place to me as a senator, there would be contest between General Grosvenor and General Dick.

LONDON FINA ANCIAL SITUATION.
Is Considered More Hopeful Bank
 Rate Not to be Raised.

London, Jan. 5-The financial situa- ton is considered much more hopeful, on the general understanding that the bank rate will not be raised to-mor- row, nor, according to general expec- tation, is it likely to be raised In the near future. It is learned by repre- sentative of The Associated Press that the only gold drain to be met at pres ent is G500,000 to the Argentine Repub- lie, which is believed to be fully offset by importations from the United States and other countries. Liquidations con tinue to decrease and the feeling to- wards American securities has improv- ed, especially in the case of copper stocks The belief gains ground that the United States will reap large profits from Great Britain's war. Government bills are somewhat weak on account of rumors of new war loan.

To Establish Quarantine.

Washington, Jan. 3.-The war depart ment is taking steps to prevent the spread of the plague in the Philippines Secretary Root this morning consulted Surgeon Wyman of the marine hospital service, and decided to establish quar- antine system. Reports to both the state department and the surgeon-ge gen. eral confirm the press dispatches rela- tive to the existence of the disease. The marine hospital service has already two quarantine plants in the Philippines and two of its surgeons are now on their way to Manila, so that little delay will be encountered in putting the quaran tine system into effect. Surgeon Gen eral Wyman does not fear the infection of San Francisco from Honolulu.

FRENCH CONTRACT CASES.
Only Three Men round Guilty Out oi
 Seyenty-1ivc Trial n Etascc.


 Seventy-five Tr:ai n |tascc.
 Paris, Jan. 9.-The conspiracy trial
 before the senate sitting as the high court came to an end to-day, except for the sentences in the casea of those convicted. Out of the seventy-fve al legged conspirators who were thrown into prison five months ago and who have been since released in patches, owing to want of evidence, only MIMI Deroulede, Guerin and Buffet have been found guilty; and these three are &C., corded "extenuating circumstances" which reduces their punishment to de- tension in a fortress or banishment. It is understood that the sentences will vary between five and ten years deten- tion President Loubet may extend pardons in accordance with the Beren ger law in favor of first offenders. Strong precautionary measures were taken to-day in the vicinity of the sen- ate house, but there was no sign of disorder anywhere when the judgments were rendered.
 All the nationalist organs describe the result of the trial as a f1asco for the government after the flourish of trumpets with which 1t announced the discovery of a great plot against the republic. They insist that the whole indictment fizzled out and that the &C., quittal of NJ Buffet's fellow royalist prisoners disposes of the charge of a royalist conspiracy. Moreover, they de- clare that the evidence proved that M. Deroulede had always been a political enemy of M. Buffet.
 The Journal des Debats says this eve ming: The light thrown by the testi- mony has shown that the charges against the royalists are perfectly emp ty The acduittal of M, Buffet's CO., prisoners has destroyed the charge" After dwelling on the dismissal of batch after batch of prisoners, the paper con- cludes in the following sarcastic strain. Tt is upon the remaining three rely in order to give France retrospec- tive shadow and to conjure up a vision of outrage, revolution and capsze the vigilance the government has spared her"
 The high court will pronounce sen tences tomorrow. NJ. Guerin is held guilty of conspiracy and, of insults and outrages at the expense of the police, but he is acquitted of the charge of pre- meditated attempt to kill. The trial has cost 800, ,000 francs in addition to the expenses of detention It is assert ed this evening that NM. Deroulede, Buffet and Guerin will be condemned to pay costs.

ROSYON POLICLMEN DISCHARGED.
One Assaulted n SW.tncss Man During the Dewey Paradn

Boston, Jan. 3.-The board of police tonight for the second time this week ordered patrolman of the Boston po- lice force discharged as the result of charges preferred by a person outside the department. Yesterday it was Of- ficer Mogsett in the Hanlon case; to- night 1t was Officer Leon M. Harris of the mounted squad. Harris has been shown to be the officer who deliberately struck Howard Cole, Boston business man and resident of Newton over the head inflicting a scalp wound during the Dewey parade, October IA. No as- sault ever created the interest, either inside or outside the department as this one, and long public hearings fail- ed to prove the identity of the culprit officer. To all appearances the case was abandoned. but the case was re- opened tonight and the officer was dis missed.

 Resolved. That the secretary of war be, and he is hereby, directed to inform the senate whether General Torres, one of the officers of the Philippine army, came to General Otis with a flag of truce on February 5, 1899, the day after the fight commenced between our forces and those of Aguinaldo and stated to General Otis that Aguinaldo declared that fighting had been begun acciden- tally and was not authorized by Agui- naldo, and that Aguinaldo wished to have it stopped and that to bring about conclusion of hostilities he proposed the establishment of neutral zone be- tween the two armies of a width that would be agreeable to General Otis, so that during the peace negotiations there might be no further danger of conflict between the two armies, and whether General Otis replied that fighting hav- ing once begun must go on to the grim end Was General Otis directed by the secretary of war to make such answer? Did General Otis telegraph the secre- tary of war on February g, 1S99 as fol- lows:
 Aguinaldo now applies for cessa- tion of hostiiities and conferences; have declined to answer And did General Otis afterwards reply that he was di- rected by the secretary of war, and what answer, if any, did he or the sec- retary of war make to the applications to cease fighting?'"

THE WAR IN SOUTH AFRICA
REQUEST OF GENERAL t FRENCH FOR
 MORE TROOPS.
It DispeIs Any Present Hope of His V Being A bIe to Seize One of the heCrOssings of the Orange River-Report of the BOer Attack on MoltenO Not Com firmed-The Bombardment of Lady smith.

London, Jan. 4.--4:30 a. m.-There is a complete absence of anything new 7 from the seat of war The report of the Boer attack upon Molteno is not yet confirmed. Apparently General French holds nothing within five miles of Colesburg junction. His request for endorsements dispels any present hope that he will be able to seize one of the crossings of the Orange river.
 It is probable that when Lord Roberts arrives General French will be ordered to quit his present position and to con- centrate his command at De Aar or Orange river. AS the Daily Telegraph says General French "seems to be in the position of man having tiger cat in trap and unable to kill it for want of a stick"
 Since Commandant General Joubert', return to the front the cannonading of Ladysmith has been much livelier. Be tween December 19 and December 29 four shells killed one officer and eigh teen men and wounded twelve officers and twelve men. General Butler con- tinues his night bombardments and patrol surprises. As the Tugela River is again fordable, and the stretcher- bearers have again been at Durban and Pietermaritzburg, there Is a disposition to believe that the British advance will not be long delayed.
 Eight additional militia regiments have been called out. Seven of these will serve in Ireland, replacing the reg ulars sent to South Africa. The Hon. Sidney Robert Grevelle, equerry to the Prince of Wales, has obtained the princes permission to go to the front. Recently he has been acting as Lord Salisbury's secretary. Among the an- nouncements of those who volunteered yesterday appear the names of a hun dred or more sons of gentlemen Many of these are Scotch. The papers com- lnent upon the fact that, in view of the state of public opinion, it is much easier to go to war than to stay at the clubs, which wear a particularly deserted ap- pearance. All reports from the Scottish and other districts report lively enlist ments It Is conceded that the prov inces have already raised about G215,- GOO to R120,000 raised in the city of Lon- don.
