of the convention, while the other COM
mittee was assigned the task of prop
erly entertaining the visiting Repub-
licans. While the first committee is
resting on its oars, the other body of
workers will have no rest until after
it shall have sent home the visitors.
Desirable hotel accommodations for the
next two weeks will be extremely hard
to find, as all the larger hostelries and
the exclusive apartment houses have
been booked to their capacity. Quite
a number of State delegations have
rented houses entirely for all of next
week. The storm center of the conven-
ton between the sessions will be the
Hotel Walton, at Broad and Locust
streets. At that hotel the National
Committee will have its headquarters,
occupying the entire fifth floor.
The Walton also will be the stamping
grounds of the Maine, Connecticut,
New York, Ohio, Michigan, Wisconsin
and Missouri State delegations.
The Vice Presidential Blooms
OF the sons of these States will also find
lodgment at the Walton. National
Chairman Hanna and Secretary Dick
will occupy suites of rooms at the
Bellevue, block from the Walton,
along with Senator Lodge, of Massa-
chusetts, and other leading Republic
cans.
West Virginia and Nebraska have en-
gagged rooms at the Stratford. The
Pennsylvania delegation headquarters
Will be located in the house occupied
by the Pennsylvania State committee,
near the Hotel Walton.
The convention hall is located in
West Philadelphia, close to the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania group Of build
ings, and is one and one-half miles
from the national committee headquar-
tiers and the hotel district. Transpor-
tation to and from the hall is ample,
the facilities in this respect having
been thoroughly tested time and time
again last fall during the national ex
port exposition, on which grounds the
great hall is located and to whom it
belongs.
The Auditorium
has been pronounced by Republican
national leaders and newspaper cor
respondent who have attended many
national conventions to be the most
magnificent in appearance and the most
complete in every detail of any struc-
ture built in this country for similar
purpose. The acoustic properties of
the hall in its enlarged condition have
not yet been practically testified, but
experts are of the opinion that they are
az near perfect as can be expected of
an auditorium Of such SIZE
The seating capacity of the place is
close to 10000. The main floor is pro-
yided with thirty-four entrances. The
press stand, for five hundred working
newspaper men, is directly in front of
the stage and four feet space for the
delegates which is exactly in the center

News Unsatisfactory.
London, April 9.-When it is borne in
mind that all the dispatches from the
front are severely censored, there is
little in the news to bring satisfaction
to England. Assurances that nothing
need be feared, even if the railways
and telegraphs are cut and Bloemfon-
tein isolated, together with the news
that the ladies and other civilians are
being ordered away, do not augur well.
