Union Men Change Convention Date.

On account of the rules of the
National Republican Committee,
requiring thirty days notice to be
given of conventions to elect dele
gates to the National Republican
Convention, the Union Republicans
have called off their convention,
which had been fixed for February
y, and will meet on Friday for the
purpose of issuing another call.
The committee cannot now call
the convention on the same day as
the Regular Convention as was
done before, because the necessary
thirty -day notice must be given.
This will preclude any attempt on
the part Of those in either eonven-
ton to bring about a compromise
OH the election of delegates.

gazing in the electric lighting bust

the city with arc lights at $50 per

as there are some 400 lights, saw
ing Of SIS a lamp, will be some
where near $4,000. On top OF that
they offered to give the city one per
cent. Of their net earnings. This
is the first corporation applying for
franchise from the city that has
offered to give up dollar for the
privilege of using the streets of
our city. BY some oversight on the
part of some one, accidental or ln-
territorial, the question OF granting
this franchise was laid over !or one
month. The Citizens Company
who also want to Go an electric
lighting business. have not yet been
granted charter.

SENATOR kENNEy made strong
speech in the Senate yesterday, adj
vocating the adoption of home rule
by the Filipenos, the same as State
rights. He holds that what has
occurred IN the Philippines since
the Senate ratified the treaty OF
peace, is as little charge able 10 that
act Of the Senate, as it is to ttose
who voted agapnstratficatlon. The
reasons for the war with the Fill.
penos and the imperlallstic policy
oil the Republican Administration
must be sought Tor outside OF the
treaty OF Paris, for IN it there Will
be found authority for neither.
He also holds that the islands are
territory OF the United States and
the inhabitants thereof citizens OF
this government, there can be no
doubt Whether they came to It's
by conquest OF arms or by treaty
with Spaic. there can be no differ
ence. That title and possession
have passed to us is beyond dis
pute, and with title and possession
TO us the constitution has gone 10
them.
This is the home rule that has
been denied the Republicans i'll
Delaware for forty years.

O'Clock as Motorman Eagle rounded
his car TO the approach Of the bridge

ness the young woman righted the
robes. The sleigh had come from
a point in the tracks opposite the
Higgins residence and the horse
went within three feet Of the open
trestle. Then the driver realized
his dangerous position and sue
cecded in turning around. 1t was
a fortunate thing that the horse
stopped in time or there would un-
doubtcdlv hayc been 4 fatal ending
TO the sleigh ride.
The Wilmington Bicycle Club has
asked Prof. William w. Knowles

W. B n. EARN
INGS INCREASE.
Last Years Profits viii
Amount to Over
100000.

The annual report for the year
ending Dec. 81, 1899, Of the Will
mington and Northern Railroad
Company. is now in the course of
completion and it was stated yes
terday the earnings will be consid-
erably larger than ever before, it
being estimated that over 100000
has been taken in.
Since the road began to be opera
ted in 1873, there has been steady
increase in earnings. That year
they reached $l29. 69l, and in 1898,
S+54, 1888, although in 1892 the earn
lngs were $4S2,bO7.
During the past five years this
road has shown steady improves
ment. The operating expenses,
owing to the heavy termin al charges
are high, but arc being gradually
decreased. The industrial boom
has been a good thing for this road,
which passes through a manufac-
turing as well as farming dis
trict. The starting up OF num-
Der of idle iron furnaces, and the
increased activity inthe steel trade,
has given this company large
amount of business. Its physical
condition is good, and many i'm
provements are being made at var
ious poin.s along the line.
On the beginning of February l,
the road was taken fully in hand
by the Philadelphia and Reading
Railway Company, and is now
operated as part Of that system.
BY this arrangement, the Winning
ton and Northern Railroad will Sc
cure a large amount Of business.
The Reading Company formerly
sent most of its coal for Wilmington
over the Baltimore and Ohio Rail
road, but now the greater portion
will be sent from Birdsboro or
Reading over the Wilmington and
Northern branch. The latter com.
pany will also turn over to the
Reading large amount OF genera
merchandise.
