MAY LOSE CONVENTION.
Chicago Hotel Keepers Propose to
ouadruple Their Rates.

Washington dispatch: Chicago ho-
tel proprietors have answered the
charges made to Postmaster General
Payne, vice chairman of the Repub-
lican national committee, that they
are charging eXorbitant rates for &C.
commodatlons during the Republican
national convention next June by ex.
planning that rooms which ordinarily
are occupied by one person at the rate
OF SIS day will, during the conven-
ton be assigned to four persons at
So day each. This explanation Is
not entirely satisfactory. Senator
Hanna, the chairman of the national
committee, has not replied to General
Payne's telegram suggesting that the
committee consider the matter with
view to taking the convention away
from Chicago. Illness has prevented.
General Payne expects the protests to
be given consideration as soon as Mr..
Hanna's health will permit.

CHAPTER II.
The Players Of the Game.

The Players OF the Game.
When the band major was twenty
miles away In front of Louisburg his
trumpets sounded always the advance.
The main intrenchments erected In
the defences of Louisburg lay at right
angles to the road along which came
the Northern advance, and upon the
side of the wood nearest to the town.
In the fields both the wheat and the
flowers were now trampled, and a
thousand Industrious and complaining
bees buzzed protest at the losing Of
their commerce. The defenses them
selves were but earthworks, though
skilfully laid out. Along their front,
well hidden by the forest growth, ran
line of entangling abattis of stakes
and sharpened interviewer boughs.
In the center of the line of defense
lay the reserves, the boys of Louis
burg, flanked on either side by regi.
ments of veterans, the lean and black
haired Georgians and Carolinians,
whose steadiness and unconcern gave
comfort to more than one bursting

long since said goodbye to their wom-
en-. They had seen how small thing
Is life, how easily and swiftly to be
ended.
= In front of the trenches were other
regiments, out ahead in the woods, un-
seen, somewhere toward that place
whence came the steadiest Earring of
artillery and the loudest rafting of the
lesser arms. 1t was very hard to lie
and listen, to imagine, to suspect, to
dread. For hours the game went on,
the reserves at the trenches hearing
now distinctly and now family the
tumult of the lines, now receding, now
coming on. ~
