DISTURBANCE.

Washington, d, c., Feb. 2l.-
There was sensation in the
Daughters of the American Revolu--
ton convention this afternoon when

and ap2lauded Mrs. Mclean.
The feud between these two New

the convention. Mrs. Manning
won the presidency from Mrs. Nc
Lean two years ago, aud the feel
ing between them has grown worse
ever since. Mrs, Mclean ald Mrs.
Fairbanks being the leading cam
didates for the presidency this year
Mrs Manning has worked hard to
elect Mrs. Fairbanks, and behind
the scenes especially in the New
York deleg alton, there has been
much bitterness.
Mrs. Fairbanks as a member OF
the National Board has had seat
on the stage Mrs. Mclean, not be-
ing an officer, has been assigned
rear seat, This afternoon Mrs. Nc
Lean, by letter asked permission Of
Mrs. Manning to sit in one Of the
boxes. Mrs, Manninggrah per-
mission BY letter. Mrs. Mclean,
coming forward. was invited by
some Of the officers to sit with them
in stage box. As she appeared
in front Of the box her friends APP
plauded.
Mrs. Mclean rose aud bowed.
The applause was greater, Mrs,
Manning flushed and. looking very
indignant. said impulsively; MRS.
Mclean, those boxes are reserved
for officers. Igave you permission
to sit in an upper box. Please va
cate that bvX."
Mrs.. Mclean made no reply, but
quietly rose and withdrew after
bowling to the delegates, who APP
plauded very generally and many
OF whom Kissed. The incident made
much sympathy for Mrs. Mclean
and Won a number OF votes.

ter before it and asked that recess Of

great Importance in forwarding the in
terests of this community, and will ma
tcrially promote the development of our

semby Of the State Of Delaware, at Do
Yer. Michael II. Cannon,
Jos. b. Oberly.

George A. Willis
w. II. Pierson.
The resolutions were unanimously
adopted.
The bill provides that in case the prop
erty owners bnlkhead the river front and
the land be filled in behind the bulk
head the new land shall belong to the
property owner. The proposed bulk
heads would be about two miles long
and would cost SIS foot to build,
making Il total east of about $175,OO0.
