THE CONVENTIONS FIRST BUSINESS.

Tonight General Bingham said that the Com
mittee Rules would bring the resolution be-
fore the Convention tomorrow in an amended
form. II will provide for a reference of the
question Of changing the basis Of representation
to the National Committee. with Instructions to
take action upon H. in accordance with the spirit
of the resolution presented by Mr., Quay. AS it
is the pending question before the Convention
its discussion Will begin soon the Conven-
tion convenes.
General Bingham will have control Of the reso-
luton on the floor He said that he would offer
an opportunity for debate upon the proposition,
but unless reasonable time for discussion could
be agreed upon ne would move the previous
question. Upon this the debate, under the rules
Of the Convention. would be limited TO twenty
minutes each side
Tonight the resolution is the principal topic
OF discussion among the delegates. Those from
the Southern States working like beavers to
stem the tide which seems 10 be running toward
the adoption of the resolution. They declare
that its adoption means death 10 Republcanism
in the South They are presenting their case to
every Northern delegation. Many Of the dele
cations held informal cauCuses tonight. in
which the resolution was discussed. with view
to action tomorrow. AS rule however. no
definite decision was reached Many individual
delegates from Northern States openly declare
either in its present or in its proposed amended
| form The proposition has strong backing in the
New England states. in New-York and Penn
sylvania and in the Northwestern States.
SOUTHERN MEN OPPOSED.
So strong has the feeling become among the
Southern delegates that many of them are pre-
pared to trade their votes for the .Vce-Presi-
| denCy for votes against the resolution This
offer has been made openly in number of in
stances.
| In an explanation OF the reasons which aCtu-
ated Mr.. Quay in presenting the resolution Sen
ator Penrose of Pennsylvania, said tonight
| after expressing his belief that the proposition
would be adopted:
Colonel Quay offered the amendment because
he knows the proposition is popular in the
| Northern States.
The great States of New-York and PennsyIva-
MIA, with fifteen million population, are subOrdi-
mated in influence to Southern States that do not
| deliver an Electoral vote, and propose to
| equalize matters. We believe 1t is fair, and we
| will insist on the adoption of the new rule.

pushing into the field distinctively Administra-
tion candidate But no activity on such
candidates behalf was observed the opposition
politicians soon began to suspect that Mr..
Hanna's hands were really tied by instructions
from Washington to encourage a free field and
to avoid displaying too much zeal in any par
tIcular aspirant's canvass
During the afternoon, though many delega-
tions held conferences, no notable accessions TO
the Long or the Dolliver ranks were reported,
and after the explosion by Mr.. Quay of his
change of rules bomb most of the Southern del
egations thought It the part Of prudence to post
pone formal decisions Of any sort.
QUAY'S PLAN OF REPRESENTATION.
The amendment to the rules OF the National
organization offered this morning by ex-senator
Quay was looked for time with suspicion
as calculated to introduce a new motive into
the struggle over the VicePresidency. Mr.
Quay proposed to have this Convention effect
change in the basis of party representation In
National Conventions, which has long been one
of the crying needs of Republican politics. The
injustice and scandal Of the present system OF
apportionment have been recognized for years,
but no Convention has felt free to apply the
proper remedy. This year the candidates to be
chosen will owe their nominations to the favor
of no particular section of the country, and
intrigue within the nominating body need not
prevent that radical revision of its rules which
will make it's councils once more genuinely rep
resentative of Republican opinion. Mr.. Quay
plan, like that long pressed by Mr.. Payne, al
lows each State in addition to it's four delegates
at-large, one district delegate for every ten
thousand Republican votes cast in the preceding
Presidential election. BY this change States like
Mississippi and South Carolina. in which a Re
publican party exists only in name, will be
shorn Of that exaggerated and irresponsible
power which they enjoy in National coun-
ellis, and the representation they lose will be
transferred States where Republican strength
is preponderant, and where Republican sent-
ment is most progressive and enlightened The
rotten borough delegations from the Far
South are. of course, intensely alarmed at the
prospect of parting with half their political in
fuence, and It was hinted that Mr.. Quay might
simply be using his amendment a club to
deter them from taking my active part to-mor-
row in checking the proposed stampede to
Roosevelt 1t is to be hoped that the Pennsyl-
vania leader had such hidden motive, and
that the Convention will be permitted to take
up this important question Of party economy
free from the pressure OF personal rivalries
and Immediate selfish interests

TEXAS DEMOCRATS DEBATE EXPANSION

Austin, Tex, June 20.-Contrary to expectation
the Democratic State Convention. which met here
to-day did not adjourn tonight have dele
gates been named the National Convention at
Kansas City. The convention early thrown
into antl-eXpansion fight, which waged all the
afternoon and evening. The fight was preopitated
by effort the part of Congressman Bailey to
have the convention indorse his anti-expanson
views. Mr. Bailey's opponents and those favor
allie to Senator Chiffon. his late opponent for the
United States Senate vigorously fought such
Endorsement. and result the convention
w%ranged all day. Mr.. Baiey's opponents submit
ted minority report to the convention tonight
favoring expansion against anti-eXpanson. and
the debate probably will protract the deliberations
or the convention over Thursday. The convention
Is largely attended, many of the best known poll
ucians OF the State being present.

to denv the story that Mr.. Platt had threatened
him with defeat as a candidate for Governor IL
he refused the Vice-Presidential nomination.
THE story is an unqualified falsehoOd. without
the shadow of foundation" he said. He had not
been in his rooms long before delegations from
California and Maryland called to assure him
of support and he did not express to them any
sorrow over the result.
Later delegation from Iowa called and
nounced that they had withdrawn their Candi-

Burton Holmes second lecture of the
present series of afternoon talks at the
Columbia Theatre attracted a goCd-sized
gathering yesterday. The fact that the
lecture, "Mnsi Land" was one of MIR.
Holmes offerings of las; year did not pre-
vent the audience from enjoying it i'm
mensely. and the speaker was fully as in
teresting and instructive as on the occa-
sion Of the earlier lecture. "Mok Land"
affords Mr.. Holmes especial advantages
for the display of still and motion pie
lures, and some OF the latter are among
the verS best that the popular lecturer
has exhibited in Washington.
Much interest is attached to the next
lecture, TO be delivered next Wednesday
afternoon. 1t will be upon the Paris Ex-
position. which Mr.. Holmes visited 10
times for the purpose of securing ma
terial for the talk he will deliver next
week at the Columbia.
