''IN the past month the regular"
bOlting faction of the Republican
party says the Milford Chronicle has
given evidence of it's weakness and
approaching dissolution. The PROPOSE
tion made to them by the Union Re-
publicans for a common primary settle
ment of their troubles, was refused-as
was to be expected. The next move
came from the Regulars in a prop
osition to elect two Senators-they
selecting ten names from Kent and
Sussex, and the Unions ten from New
Castle county, from which lists an
election should be made; which is the
identical proposition they made about
one year ago, and which was promptly
refused by Union Republicans. At a
recent meeting held in Wilmington,
the last and final proposition from
Union Republicans was made. They
propose to go into common primaries
on the old appOrtionment of IS for
New Castle, 49 for Sussex, and 40 for
Kent county, and pledge themselves
to abide by the result. An answer is
required by May first to this last; but
it is fair to presume that it will be re-
fused. The solution of the trouble is
all in the hands of one man, and that
man is not j. Edward Addicks. The
foundations of the Regulars" organi
zatiOn are tottering, and we predict t
crash before campaign is very old"

SUITS AND OVERCOATS

Shall we see you this spring? Wehave
not "turned over a new leaf the old is good
enough. But we have studied and re-studied
the page as we always do; for life and life S
work are a lesson that is never entirely
learned. The duty of a store is the same as
the duty of man; 50 is its interest.
Both get better and get ahead faster by
learning as fast as they can, and giving their
neighbors and customers the benefit of what
they know. We have found it so. A the
Ory that has stood the test of over forty years
must be pretty good theory
Not everybody agrees with us-not all
Sellers some sell clothes that seem to us no
fair return for your money Not all buyers
agree with us, for they choose to buy such
clothes rather than pay a fair price for clothes
that are Wel-made from honest all-wool cloth.
But, In these forty years, we have gathered
to ourselves a host of friends and customers
who stick to us, and send us their friends.
This year is more this way than ever.
Will you travel with us?
Not a word shall we say about dollars
YOU and we both know that business can
not be run without dollars, though it is often
a good plan not to think so much of the dol
lars as what we are going to give and you
are going to get for them.

FRANK R. STOCKTON DEAD.
Well Known Author Expires Suddenly
 of Hemorrhage of Brain.

Washington, April 2O.--Frank R. Stockton, the we'll known novelist, died suddenly here this morning from hem orrhage of the brain.
 MT. Stockton was guest at the ban quet held Wednesday night of the Ma tional Academy of Sciences, when he was taken suddenly and mysteriously i'll. The ailment did not at that time appear to be serious and for while the sufferer seemed to be improving, but a change for the worse came this morn ing and death occurred at il o'clock. By his bedside when the end came were his wife, who was Miss Futile of Vir- ginia. and her sister. He was sixty eight years of age. The body will be taken to Philadelphia for interment No further funeral arrangements have been made as yet
 Mir. Stockton had spent the past win tie literary work preferring to rest. Af- ter visit of nearly a month to Atlantic City he came to Washington so that he might attend the banquet of the scien- tists intending then to go to his beau tiful home in Charleston, w. Va.
 Mr. Stockton was a Philadelphian by birth, in early life was an engraver and draughtsman, but soon abandoned this occupation for journalism. Many years ago, however, he retired wholly from newspaper work and devoted him. self to literature. His reputation as story wr4ter was world wide.

CAR STRIKE IN SAN FRANCISCO.
Only Three Lines Running in the City,
 Many Men Out.

San Francisco. April 20.--San Fran ciscans were without the usual facilities of rapid transit to-day and many walk ed. The street railway strike has be- come effective Only three lines were in operation. Business on every line of the United Railroad was suspended. The cables were running but they drew no cars. During the day a few cars under police supervision were run over the different lines of the system to com ply with the francise requirements, but no attempt was made to carry pass engers.
 It was evident that the railway of ficials were surprised at the strength of the strike developed by the strikers who claim to have 5000 men employed The company has not yet announced its plan for breaking the strike, but it is generally anticipated that they will make an attempt tomorrow to run with the mail cars as bumpers. The strike leaders assert that there will be ID attempt to interfere with the mail car Mayor Sehmitz entered into ne- gotiations with the opposing sides to bring about an adjoustment.

POPE'S PROBABLE SUCCESSOR.
Cardinal Sarto the Founder of tho
 Famous Dom Basco,

Rome, April 20.- Cardinal Giuseppe Sarto, of whom the pope recently said in a conversation with Father Lorenzo Peros, the Italian composer, Hold him very high, Perosi, as in. the future he will be able to do much for you, we firmly believe he will be our successor" was born at Riese, in the province of Venice, June 2, 1885. He was educated in the Salosian institute at Cottolongo, founded by the famous Dom Bosco. He was always studious, and his serious ness was proverbial. His rector said of him: "Sarto has never been a child"
 He has spent most of his life in the province of Venice as a parish priest and afterwards as bishop. He was created cardinal and patriarch of Ven- ice by the consistory of June 12, 1893. He is very strong in ecclesiastical doc trines and is noted for having destroy ed relics of doubtful authenticity. He is modest, energetic, good administra- tor and organizer and is universally be- loved.

Ship Subsidy Bili.

| Philadelphia, April 26,-Clement A. Griscom, president of the International Navigation company, one of the five transatlantic steamship companies which have been merged under the di rection of J. P Morgan, to-day talked freely concerning the consolidation, its purposes and probable effects Mir. Griscom said he was unable to speak definitely regarding the financial plan, as that was matter for the consider ation of MT. Morgan and his partners, which will perhaps be decided upon within the next two weeks. In any event, President Griscom said, the con solidated companies would probably be in operation under the new conditions within few months.
 So far as the negotiations regarding the merger are concerned, they have been completed. Agreements for con- trolling interest in each of the various lines have been secured, and all that now remains to be accomplished is the organizat ton of the holding, or parent, company. This matter is now in the hands of J. P. Morgan ts Co. and their lawyers.
 It is possible, though by no means certain, that the Internal tional Naviga- tion company, whose chartered powers are very broad, will be made the parent company. The question now under con- sideration is the desira bility of this plan as against the organization of an entirely new company to control the operations of the combined steamship lines The published statements as to the financial basis of the combine, Mir Griscom said, were entirely specula tive, as that detail had not as yet been com pleted.
 ''The capitalization of the consolidat- ed companies" said Mir. Griscom, twill be in the neighborhood of S20O,O00, 900, which sum about represents the prop erty absorbed. Working capital, of

FIRE W.ITERBURY.
Old Rink Building, Long an Eye-sore,
 Partly Burned.

Waterbury, April 20-The fire depart ment was called out about 7:15 o'clock this evening to fair-sized blaze raging in the old rink" building located at the corner of Bank and Grand streets. Within few minutes the alarm was made general one and the ancient wooden structure had the appearance of furnace. It was thought that the building was doomed, as the material burned like finder, but the department had 1t under control in twenty minutes. The loss to the building will probably amount to $400. Six small stores were more or less damaged, and the one es- tablishment, a Chinese laundry, where the flames originated, was completely wiped out. A petition is now in the hands of the board of aldermen praying that the board condemn the structure as fire trap.

Charges That I'm m z rants Are BrutalIy
 Treated in New York.

New York, April 2O.-Commissoner of Emigration Fitchie received orders from Washington to-day to investigate published stories that immigrants who land in this city at the Battery are bru- tally treated by the special police on duty there. A Brooklyn resident sent a batch of these stories to President Roosevelt and accompanied it with a statement that one of the instances he knew, from personal observation, to be true. The president, after looking over the papers, sent them to Secretary Shaw, who in turn forwarded them to MT Fitchie with orders to apply the probe. The instance mentioned was that the special police carried rawhide whips with which they beat the immi- grants, driving the foreigners before them like so many cattle.
 Commissioner Fitchie is already out in denial of the charges. He and his police declare that it is not the immi- grants who are lashed with whips. It is, they say, the horde of hotel runners, idlers, sharks and other men who have no legitimate business at the Battery, and who menace the immigrants as they land. The officers declare that the only way to get rid of these pests, as they term them, is to use violence.

An Unprecedented Record for April.- Continuation of Such Heat WtlI Prove Dangerous to oGratn--Mercury R ea ch ed at Kansas City Was Ninety-one-A Stifitng Wind.

Omaha, Neb., April 20.-To-day was the hottest April day in fifteen years. The thermometer at p. m. reached 65 degrees, the highest previous record being 91. The intense heat was more op pressive owing to the excessive cold weather experienced up to Saturday night overcoats being required for comfort during the past week. A con- tinuation of the hot weather will prove dangerous to growing grain.
 A despatch from Falls City says the mercury reached 100 in the shade at that place to-day and that fall wheat is suffering from lack of moisture. Other points in southern Nebraska re- port record breaking temperatures for Apil.
 Up to 10 o'clock tonight there is but little moderation of the high tempera ture in this city and high wind, laden with dust, is blowing.
 St. Joseph, Mo-, April 20.-The mer- cury at noon to-day registered 92 a change of more than 40 degrees in six hours. A high wind set in and soon the air was dark with particles of dust and sand. Several buildings of light structure were blown down. The sand storm did not subside until night
 Kansas City, April 2O.-The highest to-day was 91 degrees. A furious hot wind. such as might be looked for in August, was blowing.

 Cairo, H., April 20 (midnight).-O of the worst disasters in the history of Ohio river navigation occurred shortly after 4 o'clock this morning near Og- den's Landing. While almost all aboard were asleep the steamer City of Pitts burg was discovered to be on fire, and in few moments was burned to the waters edge. The loss of over $500 on the steamer does not include the cargo, both being total loss,
 The latest estimates are that one hun- dred and fifty persons were aboard, and that not more than half of them were saved, many of the latter being burned or injured. AS the register of the steamer was burned no list can be given either of the victims or of the survivors, and in the confusion it has been impos- sible to get complete lists. Captain Phillips admits that the death list may reach sixty.
