TWO DELEGATIONS
Texas Republicans Are Having Some
 Trouble

Waco Tex, March At is believed that the republicans will send two delegations from Texas to the next national conven- ton. They will hold their convention in this city commencing next Tuesday, March 6. Up to the present time every county and congressional convention held in the state has split and sent two delegations to the state convention. It has been anticl- pated all along that there would be an opposing leader to State Chairman b. H. R. Green developed at the coming conven- tion in the person of John Grant, who so successfully led the Mckinley forces four years ago in this state.
 The fact that MT Grant has recently is sued a card in which he states he will be no participant in the convention leads to the surmise that the antl-Greenites will have to look to other sources for leader
 Prominent republican leaders in this sec tion say that the party friction is not due to any antagonism to President Mckinley. The convention will be held in the new Auditorium recently erected at a cost of $I0,O00.

QUAY RESOLUTION TUESDAY
Ths House Will Devote Tuesday and Wednesday to a Discussion of the Aldrich- Robbins Case
 From Alabama

Washington, March 4.-The question of on the currency bill, and the Porto Rican government bill divide the attention of the senate during the present week. By agree ment the report on the currency bill will be voted upon at 4 o'clock Tuesday, and will have practically the undivided atten- tion of the senate until that time if there are senators who desire to speak upon it.
 After Tuesday the Quay resolution will be the uppermost topic during the morning hour each day, and the Porto Rican bill for the remainder of the day. There are still several speeches to be made on the Quay resolution, among those who are to speak being Senators Penrose Spooner, Perkins and Carter favorable to Mr. Quay, and Sem ator Burrows in opposition. The Porto Rican bill will be debated at length. Sem ators Culverson, Turner, and Pettigrew will make set arguments against it on con- stitutional grounds, and Senators Nelson and Depew will talk in support of it.
 The broad question of expansion will be raised in connection with this measure and it will provoke much running debate as well as many set speeches. Senator Fcraker, no disposition to accept the house bill and drop the senate measure as has been re- ported in some quarters would be done.
 The diplomatic and pension bills probably, will be passed during the week. Either is calculated to provoke prolonged discus sion,

PREPARING FOR ROOT
Staff of Cuban Governor General Or

Havana. March 4.-Quintin Bandera has written to the Patria, saying that a post has been offered him by tine intervening government, and been accepted by him, after consultation, with Generals Padro, Rabi, and Lara, who have themselves ac- cepted positions. He says:
 Although I have accepted the position, I nevertheless belong heart and soul to Cuba"
 An official order has been issued, direct ing the staff of the governor general to be at the wharf tomorrow morning at 7:30 to go on board the Sedgwick to welcome Sec retary Root. General Lee and his staff will ride in from Quemados to join in the recep- tion. The Heraldo protests against the quar- antine regulations against Cuba in Florida. which will go into effect April 1, after which date no one will be allowed to land there from Cuban port until he has undergone ten-day quarantine The steamship lines are already beginning to provide for the exodus as most people will desire to re- turn before the quarantine season com mences.

RELIEF CAME UNEXPECTED,
Correspondent Writes of the Relief o
 Ladysmith

Durban, Friday, March 2-Correspond- ents who have returned here from Lady smith say that the relief came quite un- expectedly At noon on Tuesday the firing of General Buffers army seemed to recede instead of approach, and the garrison was consequently depressed Everybody was startled to hear the garrison's AZ gun fir ing. It had not been used much of late, owing to the diminishing ammunition. On hurrying out it was found that the Boers were trying to remove the big gun on Bulwana and erect derrick. This proved that something extraordinary was happen ing. The other garrison guns then directed their fire on Bulwana, with the result that the Boers were compelled to abandon the attempt with the derrick. Later on they placed the gun on wagon, which cap sized in dongel.

 Injured-Firemen Finally
 Distinguished Flames

New York, March Alive persons were burned to death and three were injured early this morning in fire, which occurred in a seven-story lodging house at 44-4S Bowery.
 Charles Buttie 40 years of age.
 John Clark, 50 years of age.
 Edward Doyle, 35 years of age.
 Henry Jackson (colored), 95 years of age. One unidentified man, about 50 years of age
 Stephen Carney, 75 years of age, was burned about the body, face. and hands, and removed to a hospital in a serious con- dition.
 Martin Gallagher, 53 years of age, was burned about the face and hands, and also removed ito a hospital.
 Edward Walker, AT years of age, was burned, but after having his wounds dressed, remained at the lodging house.
 The fire was first discovered shortly after 2 o'clock. Smoke was pouring from the windows of the fifth floor, and the flames were making rapid progress.
 The lodging house was cut into 132 rooms, and ninety of these small places were oc- cupled when the fire broke out. Policemen sent in an alarm, and burst into the place to arouse the inmates. They notified the night clerk, who immediately rang the alarms all over the house. -----'
 Crowd Fiiiei ytfe Hallway
 The railways were instantly filled with a crowd of excited people. The policemen forced their way to the upper floors in an effort to rescue some of the helpless or any who might be overcome with smoke They carried out Thomas Harper, a one legged man, and Edward Walker who had been burned and partially overcome by the smoke. Stephen Carney was found lying on the floor in his room The flames had already burned the old mans hands, face and body, but a policeman picked him up and carried him out of the building
 The -fremen succeeded In putting out the flames without great loss to the building. After the fire was out they began a search The bodies of all five of the victims were fousid on the fifth floor. where the fire did most damage. Buttie was suffocated in his bed. John Clark was found on the floor of his room dead, as was also Edward Doyle. The colored man was found dead at window, and the unidentified man had been overcome just as he was dragging himself from the window to the fire escape.
 All the bodies were taken to the morgue. The damage to the building amounted to about $2,000 The place was conducted by Dominica Milano, and was cheap Bowery lodging house.

 Addresses the Burghers

London, March g. 4:40 a. m.-Her majesty has abandoned her intended visit to the Italian Rivera, and has decided to remain at home. Her decision to give up her cus- tomary spring holiday is accounted as an- other proof of her deep interest in and de- votion to the welfare of her people. On Thursday she will come to London for a brief visit, remaining until Sunday and she will undoubtedly receive splendid ovation. Her heartfelt homely dispatches to the gen. erals in the field and her visit to Nettly hospital have greatly endeared her to her people.
 Beyond the signs of a general retreat of the Boers throughout Cape Colony, there is little from the front Lord Roberts. in his dispatches to the war office, thus far published says little, but he is undoubtedly active in some direction.
 The Onsland, the organ of the Afrikan- der bund. says: 'The Boers will now con- fine themselves to the defensive, abandon ing an offensive policy"
 Abrahams Kraal, as shown in the war of fee maps, is a group of three kopjes, stt- uated at the junction of Kraalspruit and Modder river. It is a natural point of con- centration which the Boers could make ex- ceedingly strong, but after the proofs of the mobility of the army of Lord Roberts it may be doubted whether they will make a really serious attempt to bar his advance there.
 A noticeable feature of all the recent oper- ations at the theatre of war has been the active employment of colonial forces, which is in marked contrast with the policy adopted at the beginning of the war. The Australian colonies have decided to pro- vide the 2,500 men MT. Chamberlain recently asked for.
 It is now seen how near Ladysmhh was to starvation, and the exhaustion of am- munition. The town could hardly have withstood another Boer assault or held out much longer.
 The Daily News has a dispatch from Ladysmith, which says that the supplies on hand were only enough to provide full ra- tons for four days. The town might have held out another week, but scarcely beyond that.

THE HOUSE

Washington, March 1.-The house will de- vote this week, except tomorrow which Is District of Columbia day, to contested cleo tion cases. The debate on the Aldrich-Rob- bins case, which opened on Friday, will continue Tuesday and Wednesday. After it is disposed of the Wise Young contest from Virginia will be taken up and probably will consume the remainder of the week. In both cases the majority has reported against the sitting members, who are democrats, and the house probably will sustain the representatives so that by the end of the week the republican majority in the house will have been increased by two.
