ON REPRESENTATION.
Important Matter Decided Upon by tn

Important Matter Decided Upon by the
 Rules Committee.
 The committee on rules adjourned just before o'clock and reached a de- cision which was satisfactory as com- promise to both the cities and towns in the matter of representation. It is, in substance that the committee will rec ommend to the convention to-day, on the matter of changing the representa- ton in republican state conventions, that the present system of town repre- sentation shall continue, but that there shall also be two delegates from each senatorial district. Inasmuch as the constitutional amendment passed by the last general assembly redistricting the state into thirty-six senatorial dis tricts will add seventy-two delegates, making a total of 5S2, it is left to the state central committee to formulate the rules governing this matter. The vote also provides that in towns which will receive the extra delegation each additional representative must reside in the senatorial district from which he is elected. For instance, as Hartford will have six, each delegate of the six must reside in the senatorial district which he is elected to represent.
 It was stated by member of the committee that this compromise plan was acceptable to the New Haven dele gation and to those from other cities, inasmuch as it gives them practically what they asked for by the plan which they presented, and it is thought that this compromise plan will be more &C., ceptable to the convention than the so- called city proposition.

IN THE. AUDITORIUM.

The Auditorium was a scene of actiV- ity as early as 6:3O o'clock, when some of the county delegations assembled and took the seats marked off for them. Tn the gallery hundreds had assembled as early as o'clock, and when the con- yention was called to order those inter- ested in the proceedings and not there as delegates were almost as numerous as the delegates themselves. By 8 o'clock the real influx began, and up to the time of calling the convention there was steady stream of humanity pour ing into the old Auditorium. The hun dred or so New Haveners who went to Hartford in the interests of Judge Cleaveland went there in body and occupied seats in the rear of the the ater.
 Immense American flags were draped on the stage and on all sides of the Au- ditorium, and hung from the center of the curtain was a likeness of President Lincoln. Over on the left hand side of the stage was life-size picture of President Roosevelt From the gallery rails were draped wide strips of red, white and blue bunting, caught in fes- toons, and over the center of the hall was big cluster of American flags The national colors draped from each of the four boxes completed the decora- tions.
 In the two upper boxes were parties of women, the only ones among that great assemblage Of men. They seem- ed to enjoy every moment of the even- ing as much as any of the delegates present.
 The canvass of candidates for office developed more heat than was earlier contemplated. This was so for the nom- nations for governor, for attorney gen. eral and for congressman-at-larg

Frisbie of Hartford, and at the same time keep a weather eye on Fairfield county, the home of John H. Perry, ex-speaker of the house of representatives, This ticket, characterized semi officially by the organization leaders as certain of nomination, is as follows:
 For governor Abiram Chamberlain of Meriden.
 For lieutenant governor-Henry Rob- erts of Hartford.

 For treasurer-Henry H. Gallup of Norwich.
 For comptroller-W. E. Seeley of Bridgeport.
 For attorney general-Charles Phelps of Vernon.
 For congressman-at-larg George Lilley of Waterbury.
 It was at the close of the meeting of the committee on resolutions that the platform contained the following blanks tentatively adopted by the committee but not reduced to formal shape:
 Speaking of President Roosevelts administration the platform, in addi- tion to endorsing President Roosevelt for renomination in 1904 speaks of the work of Senator Orville H. Platt as chairman of the senate committee on foreign relations, and recognizes his inn

Germany Also Treats Matter Lightly.

Berlin, Sept. 16.-The German foreign office treats M. Pelletan's Bizerta speech lightly and is disposed to attach no more importance to it than the af- ter dinner indiscretions of the French minister of war, General Andre, few weeks ago, of which the German gov- ernment took no official notice. The correspondent of the Associated Press was informed at the foreign office that as Germany has no political interests in the basin of the Mediterranean aud as she never will have what France is doing there does not specially affect her.
 M. Pelletan's reference to the "bar- barism of old Germany" is treated by the newspapers here with ridicule rath- CT than indignation.

London, Sept. 16-What is designated as M. Pelletan's New Diplomacy" is not taken seriously in London. It is pointed out here thta inthe course of his tour the minister similarly referred to Germany and Italy and semi official papers like the Journal des Debats de- clare his sentiments are those neither of France nor of her government.

BRITISH EDUCATION BILL.

The education bill of the English government is provoking controver- sy that is almost as virulent as that concerning the Boer war. and decided ly more confusing Complaint is made by the disputants themselves of the length and the complicated and oo- scure nature of the measure. and the difnculties of understanding 1t are, of course, much greater to foreigner who starts with no intimate knowl- edge of existing conditions and who IS in. DO position to judge whether the new legislation will improve them or not.
 But while an exhaustive discussion of the elaborye scheme is impossible, some few psints in the controversy will be of Interest to American readers First, thsre is the revelation of chaos, past. present. and to come. The school system of England Is a maze of unre- lated pats which can never be brought into effective coordination by the bill. There are the so-called voluntary schools whi.h are denominational and supported to a certain extent by char. ity. There ars schools under the con- trol of elective school boards. there are wholly deached establishments under the management of the munic- ipal authorities So far these institu. tions have worked independently of each other: in some cases they have worked ia the same territory, thus in' creasirg the machinery of education with no increase of eficiency, and whil, there has been excellent prog ress ir certain schools much is said concerning underpaid and incompe tent teachers.
 The new bill proposes a concetra ton of authority in county and Dor ough councils, but there is great doub as to how it will be executed. Int very acceptance of responsibility wal made optional with the councils. an; they are to act not directly bu through appointive committees. whicl need not be selected Nfrom their ow, body This substitution for the ol' school boards is held tp be undersirl ble by opponents of thh bill. who pre- fer an elective to aApointive body But the greatest tsl is raised ove the perpetY astiona

CHALLENGER COWARD
Swedish Military Officer ChaI-
lenges American to Fight
Duel, But Fails to Appear.

Stockholm, Sweden, July ia great
sensation has been caused in military
circles here by the conduct of Captain
Arvid Wester, who. after challenging
an American, William Casper, to fight
a duel, failed to appear at the spot
selected for the encounter. The trou-
bic arose at a performance last night
in the Grand Arena palace. Wester,
who was in the full uniform of a cap
tain on the general staff and wearing
decorations. disturbed the seance of a
mind reader. Casper, who is the man
ager of the establishment. demonstrated
with the captain and demanded an
apology.
This Wester refused and Casper said
the officers conduct was ungentleman-
" and disgraceful. The captain then
challenged the American, who accepted
and repaired to the meeting place at 5
O'Clock this morning with his seconds,
including the secretary of the United
States legation, John s. Muir. Wester,
who was a war correspondent in Cuba
and South Africa, failed to appear,
and as a consequence will undoubtedly
be forced to retire from the army.
Casper has been the recipient of many
congratulations
Captain Wester was the military at
tache of the legation of Sweden and
Norway at Washington at the time of
the outbreak of the war between the
United States and SPAIN He went
through that war as he did the war
between Turkey and Greece. He was
attached to General Skaters head
quarters as g foreign guest

found the dead body by accident.
