dence showing. it is contcnded, that
the La Toilette delegates were the

publicans.
La Toilette to Take stump.
Gov. La Toilette is expected to take
the stump soon. Where and when he
will speak will be decided at a meet
ing of the Wisconsin state committee,
which the La Toilette faction domi-
mates, its chairman being w. ID. Con-
nor, one of the unseated delegates.
The next move of the Stalwart sec
ton is the mandamus proceedings to
be directed against Secretary of State
Houser to compel him to place the
regulars under the republican desig-
nation on the official ballot. Here the
action of the national body is expected
to have some weight.
Would Read Governor Out of Party.
There is another course of proceed
ure under consideration by the enc
mics of La Toilette and that is moth
ing less than endeavoring to have the
governor read out of the republican
party by the national committee for
refusal to abide by it's decision in the
contest.
La Toilette Talks.
Madison, Wis, June 23.-"We shall
appeal 10 a higher forum than that
at Chicago" emphatically declared
Gov. La Toilette last night when asked
what he expected to do regarding the
factiOnal fight in the republican party
in Wisconsin and the refusal of the
national convention to scat the delega-
ton which he headed.
They don't understand the situa-
tion in Wisconsin at Chicago, and APP
parently don't care to. But the people
Of the state, | am sure, believe in see
ing justice done and we have no doubt
how they will speak. They know the
facts regarding this contest and are
not in a temper to be trified with.
"Of course, the committee on Gre
dentials reported against us as we felt
certain it would, having Predetermined
the case. but it cannot satisfy the peo-
pie of Wisconsin as to why the Tegu-
larly and legally elected delegates of
the regular convention were turned
down.

losing the thirteen electoral votes of
Wisconsin is creating a great deal of
discussion here. Eleven Of the presi-
Dental electors have filed with the
secretary of state written notices that
they desire TO have their names placed
on the La Toilette ticket.
The SpoOner state central commit
tee has the power. under the statutes,
to place candidates for electors on the
Cook state ticket. and this is probably
what will be done if the state supreme
court decides that the stalwart ticket
is the regular one Of the party. But
as the supreme court has adjourned
for the summer vacation a ruling can
not be had from it until September.
In the meantime both factions are ex-
pected TO wage vigorous campaign.

admitted by the war office, and is in
dicated succinctly ia yesterdays dis
patches from the Associated Press

Meanwhile large forces are hurry
ing south from Lao Yang to check
both General Oku and General I\u-

Kuropatkin's object is to prevent a

FACTS ABOUT PROPOSED
TRUNK SEWER SYSTEM
Information that Should Be Considered
By the Voters at the Com
ing City Election.

The following plans and facts in re
gard to the proposed trunk sewer sys-
TEN to be built in this city, and which
will be decided by the voters at
the city election held on December 9th,
when the matter of bond issue to COW
er the cost of the system completed and
in operation, will be voted upon, are
presented in order that the interested
citizens may understand the proposition
clearly before the time for decision ar
rives. The first time the matter came
up, last spring. the proposition as Il
whole was evidently misunderstood by
many, and this, coupled with the fact
that the necessity for a sewer system
was then not so apparent or so generally
understood. caused it to be defeated by
very small number of votes. The
principal objection then came from the
residents of Capitol Hill, but at this
time it is stated that the property own
ers of that locality are among the most
enthusiastic in the city for the con
struction of the sewer. They have even
asked that it be built further out in
that direction than the plans submit
ted by City Engineer McCulloh called
for. 1t is believed that the bond propo-
sition will carry at the coming election
by goodly majority. The necessity
for a sewer system has been greatly en-
phasized by the reports of DIR. Bebb, the
bacteriologist, who has been engaged
in research into the cause of the exist
ing unhealthful conditions here for sew
eral months. and by the number of ty-
phoid cases which have been traced di-
rectly to conditions due to insufficient
drainage The people have been made
to see the danger that threatens every
family in North Yakima, and while
there is as might be expected some OPP
position to a bond issue large enough
to cover the cost of constructing the
sewer, this is recognized As small indeed
in comparison with the cost of keeping
streets, alleys, vaults, etc, in sanitary
condition and paying the doctor bills
that cannot be avoided even with the
greatest care.
A feature of the plans that appeals
strongly to property owners Is the fact
that practically every foot of the sewer
will be laid in alleys. Not only Is this
desirable in the original construction,
but it is of advantage for all time 10
come, as it is not necessary to tear up
or suspend business ont he streets while
connections or repairs are being made
In round numbers the trunk sewer
system will cost the city S5I 900 When
the matter was brought before the cit
liens the first time the cost was esti-
mated at about S7l.000 The reason for
the difference in favor of the present
plan is that the necessity of a trunk
system down Eighth street, between
Yakima avenue and Beach streets Is
avoided. in the first place, and in the
second place. by making a cross sewer
between Yakima avenue and the first
alley west thereof in the nature OF an
intercepting drain, the necessity Tor
carving all that drainage down to the
southern outlet is avoided. To replace

have satisfactory and ample service.
The total length of the trunk system
will be 2G,3S0 feet or nearly five miles.
1t is stated that, if the bonded indebted
ness is voted for, work will be begun at
once, and the entire system will be
completed by July lst, weather per
hitting. The building of the sewer will
give employment to many people, and
the bulk of the money expended will
be kept at home. Unfortunately, Yak
ina has no tile factory. and it will be
necessary to send away for the tile used.
There is every assurance that the bonds
can be disposed of at very satisfactory
figures. They will probably be design
ed to run for the period of twenty years.
the city council has shown wisdom in
placing the work in the hands of En-
gineer McCulloh, and their action will.

property owners in the city. He is one
of the best known and most capable
civil engineers in the state, and his abil-
ity, experience and reputation guaran-
tee that the work will be done in the
most economical manner consistent with

Rumor About Senator Davis.

Shortly before the session convened the rumor that Senator Davis of West Vir- ginia had been agreed upon by the lead- CTS for the vice presidency went the rounds, and delegates gathered in groups to discuss the situa ton. It was 5;30 when the question of opening the session was made. Senator Clark belabored his table with the heavy gavel. but said nothing A little later he called the convention to order and directed the delegates to take their seats.
 Representative John $. Williams of Mississippi was recognized and moved that nominating speeches be limited to fifteen minutes and seconding speeches to five minutes and that not more than four seconoing speeches be allowed for any nomination.
 T. H. Ball of Texas offered a sub stitute limiting the nomination speeches to ten minutes. allowing the seconding
