sion at Madison.
Madison, Wis, July 1.-THE Repub-
lican state convention was called ito
order at 1878 by the chairman of the
state central committee, George F.
Bryant, in the big university gymna-
sium, which was comfortably filled by
about 5000 persons. General Bryant,
after naming the officers of the conven-
tion, introduced the Rev. DR.. Butler
who delivered the Invocation. At the
conclusion Of the prayer General Bry-
ant announced the appointment of
Judge Levi HI Bancroft Of Richland
Center as temporary chairman Of the
convention. .s
Judge Bancroft, during the course Of
his speech, was frequently interrupted
with applause. His mention that the
Republican party believes that honesty
and integrity are the only principles
upon which Republican institutions
can be perpetuateds was received with
thunderous ovation. His reference
to the pledge to further advance the
standard of good government by re-
form in the primaries was also well re-
ceived.
At the conclusion of Judge Ban
croft's speech the various districts an
nounced their selection for the com
mittee on resolutions.
The convention then adjourned un-
til o'clock.

" Springfield, O., July 17.-John w.
Bookwalter of this city was offered ST.
100000 cash for the Bookwalter steel
process. The offer came from Presi-
dent Schwab of the new American
Steel Casting company. Mr.. Bookwal-
ter declined to sell.
BY the Bookwalter process blasting
for removing impurities from the iron
is done at the side of the converter in
stead of at the bottom. The result is
that less power is required, while
greater purity of steel Is obtained. The
process is covered by twenty or more
patents. 5
A company with 100000 stock
to make steel by the Bookwalter pro-
cess has just been organized in Penn
sylYania. 1t will be located at Phil
adelphia. adjacent to the Cramps ship

mere are two reasons for the delays.
First, that the kings restoration to
health must not be impeded by polit-

Colonial Secretary Chamberlain, who
naturally will be consulted by Premier
Balfour, is still disabled and has the
imperial conference on his hands as
soon as he can return to active bust
ness.
The reconstruction of the cabinet is
unlikely until the coronation is over
and Mr.. Chamberlain's wishes respect
ing the treasury are made known.
Among the sheaf Of speculative ru-
mors the most likely one is that which
carries Austen Chamberlain and
George Wyndham into the reconstruct
