CONVENTION TO BE
HELD IN CHICAGO

Washington. Dec. 13.-The Republic
can national convention will be held in
Chicago June 21st next. The Republi-
can national committee reached this
conclusion yesterday and adjourned
subject to call,
PittsbuIg and st. Louis were rivals
of Chicago for the convention. Each
city was well represented in oratory
before the committee. and each had
cash offers to make. Pittsburg offered
100000. Chicago $4,000 and hail.
and st. Louis $4,000 and a hall. The
vote stood 43 for Chicago, Z for Pitts
burg and for st. Louis.
Communications were read by Secre-
tary Heath from the Federal and Re-
publican parties of Porto Rico both
claiming representation in the COM
mittee Mayor Todd of San Juan. rep
resenting the Republican party. then
appeared before the committee and
gave a brief history of that party

1899 The Federal party was estab-
lished some time after this, he said
Each party is represented by two MEM
bers in the local Senate. His party,
he stated. controls $1,000 out of 49,
600 registered voters. The aim of this
party was to Americanize the island
ard stand by the administration.
Porto Rico, he said. would like to be
represented in the next Republican ma
tional convention.
Chairman Hanna said that further
consideration of the matter would be
had in executive session.
The decision of the national commit
tee to have the Republican convention
meet June 21st created considerable
talk about the capitol as to the prob
able date of the adjournment OF Con-
gress and the fact developed that there
has already been more or less exchange
of views among leaders OF the Senate
and House on the question. The opin-
ion is quite general among them that
it will be possible to conclude the work
OF the session by June 21st.

Important Land Ruling.

To nullify attempts Of cattle COM
panies and others to obtain public
lands in violation of the law, the sec
retary of the interior has overruled
former decisions of the department.
that widows or minor orphans Of SOL
diers or sailors do not have to reside
on the land on which they make home
stead entry. The decision, which af-
fects large number of cases and
which has an important bearing on the
public land frauds, is made in the case
of Mrs. Anna Bowes. who made an en-
try on land in the Broken Bow dis
trict in Nebraska. Mrs. Bowes
claimed the right of entry as the
widow of sailor in the Civil War.
under section of the revised stat
utes, which allows such dependents to
make homestead entries with credit
for the time OF the soldiers or sailors
military or naval service. 1t was ad-
mltted this case was made under an
agreement with the Standard Cattle
Company, whereby Mrs. Bowes at the
time of the entry leased the land to
the company with further agree
ment that the company should have
the option of purchase Of the land.
The department decides that Mrs.
Bowes Is required to maintain resi-
dence on the land and that her agree
ment with the company invalidated
the entry and requires its cancella'
tion.

thorities TO the writ, and ordered the
commanding officers and the sheriff to
release the prisoner. The case Will go

Naval Bureau Report.

The annual report of Admiral III. e.
Taylor. CHIEF of the bureau of naViga-
ton, recommends the creation OF
general staff OF the navy. the appoint
ment OF two vice admirals. one for the
Asiatic station and one for the North
Atlantic station. u material increase in
the number of officers and the addition
Of a number of cruisers to the navy.
AS affecting the personnel of the ma
Wy. Admiral Taylor mentions defeat,
which he says is common to most MILL
taTy services, whether at sea or on
land, namely, the advadced age at
which officers reach the more impor-
tant commands. The duty of command
ing a battleship and fleets of battle
ships, he says, is one which requires,
together with large experience and
ability. the energy and nervous endur-
ance which is found as rule among
men much younger than those who Will
command your battleships and fleets
for some years to come. AS remedy
for the present defect he urges the re
tirement OF officers when they have
reached a certain age in a certain
grade. He suggests that an ofhcer OF
fifty years. who has not attained the
rank of captain. retire. and that cap
tain. who is f1fty-five has not reached
the grade of rear admiral, retire.
After urging an addition to the SER
vice of thirty lieutenant commanders
and fifty lieutenants, Admiral Taylor
says that at present lieutenants are do
ing the duty which should be done by
commanders.

to the recent action OF the governor OF
Colorado in establishing military rule
In Teller county. He asked that 1t lie
upon the table In order that he might
make some remarks upon it at a con-

Whereas. 1t Is maintained by the
said striking miners and by many other
good and law-abiding citizens that said
strike. considering its magnitude ard
duration. has been exceptionally free

Whereas. The governor Of said state
did on the 4th day of December, 1903,
by reason of said strike and OF the said
explosion and other alleged disturb
ances in said district, issue procla-
nation in which, among other things.
he did declare the said county of Teller
to be In state of insurrection and re-
bellion; and.
Whereas. Following the said proc

Judge Holdom's action created a pre-
cedent, it being the first time in the
history of trades uE!onism in this coun-
try that court has fined union as
corporation. An appeal was taken In
imposing the fine, Judge Holdom said;
"There has been no discrimination
between sexes. Women have been as
saultcd and terrorized and followed to
their homes and their families intimi-
dated. Murder has even resulted from
the unlawful acts of the union and Its
striking members"

Whereas, BY reason Of doings and
attitude of the governor OF said state
the courts OF the state have been rem
dered powerless to relieve its citizens
of the wrongs and outrages committed
against them by the military authori-
ties of the state and to protect the
citizens thereof in all or any OF their
constitutional rights; and.
Whereas. The Legislature OF the
state cannot convene until January.
1906 unless the governor may call 1t
an extraordinary session, which he has
repeatedly said he would not do. and
by reason of the inability of the courts
of the state to enforce their writs for
the relief of citizens from military out
RACES and misrule, and because the Leg
is.ature cannot convene for more than
year from the present date to adopt
proper remedial legislation and the
government of the state Is wholly. by
reason of the arbitrary and unconsti-

state, at his mercy and under his con-

Whereas, The Constitution OF the
United States guarantees to each state

Resolved, That the judiciary COM

Minister to Panama.

Washington. Dec. 12.-The President
to-day sent to the Senate the nomina-
tion of W. |. Buchanan of New York to
be envoy extraordinary and minister
plenipotontiary to Panama. Mr.. Bu-
chanans selection was brought about
by desire on the part Of the President
to secure, during the crystalization OF
the relations between the United States
and Panama. the services of trained
and experienced diplomatic representa-
tive, having special reference to his
knowledge of the Latin-American
races.
BY reason of long service as United
States minister to the Argentine Re-
public, Mr.. Buchanan fills that descrip-
tion in the estimation of the State De-
partment 1t is understood that his as
sumption of duties is not to be perma-
nent. for he sacrificed large interests to
undertake the work. Mr.. Buchanan was
director general of the Pan-American
Exposition at Buffalo.

the inquiry to be made. confining him
self to the general statement that an
investigation of the records OF the
local office along the lines indicated is
under way.
Senator Morgan of Alabama, cham
pion of the Nicaragua route. made
fierce assault on the Panama treaty
and in that connection again freely
criticised what he denominated pres
idential usurpation." He declared that
the United States is becoming affected
to the core with covetousness, and he
said the country seemed to be CULVER
ing with doubt as to whether 1t should
go over entirely or pursue the better
course followed by our national faith
ers. So far as he was concerned he
would not be so mean as to yield to
temptation simply to advance the
| commercial interests of his state. He
asserted that the United States would
do as it might please with the island
of Cuba. and added: "She is now fet-
! tered to the decks of our warships as
| firmly as Professor Langley's airship
| was ever attached to his house boat
He spoke of the negotiation of the
Panama canal treaty as grotesque
act. and declared that Panama had no
more right to appoint minister to
the United States than that country
had to consecrate saint. He came.

winged messenger of falsehood dis
