PLANS ARE PRAISED
FLOOR ARRANGEMENTS FOR
DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION.
Opening, It is Believed, Will Be Wit
messed by Between $4,000 and
$4,000 Persons.

plans showing the floor arrangement OF
the great ST. Louis Coliseum for the &C
communication of the democratic national
convention, beginning July 9 next, have
been received in the city and are meeting
with favorable comment by all who have
examined them. The seating arrangement
is such that when the temporary chairman
rams for order the immense building Will
contain no less than IL 600 chairs. In adj
dition to these there will be ample standing
room, and 1t is believed the opening of the
convention will be witnessed by between
u 600. and ID 900 persons. In July the Lou
isiana purchase exposition Will be at the
height of it's magplfcence, and the city Will
doubtless be thronged with thousands of
sightseers. To these the national conven-
ton of one of the two great parties in the
country will be a feature of added interest
and the demand for the seats set apart for
the public is expected to be far beyond the
capacity. ii ~ 10
Long Convention Expected.
The accompanying illustration shows the
general features1of the floor arrangement.
The coming convention is expected to be
one of the longest and livelest in the his
tory of the party. There have been few
times in the past when the party was so di-
vided in sentiment and unsettled as to a
choice between candidates. The unusual is
expected to happen, unless present condi-
lions should materially change. So in view
of the length of time the delegates are eX-
pected to be in convention, the St Louis
| plans are being made with view to COM
| fort as far as possible. The Coliseum is
| great, roomy building. an ideal structure
| for gatherings like the one it will next wit
ness.
The main floor of the auditorium. as seen
| in the illustration, will give its most prom
inent space to the delegates from the diff
| ferent states. Their chairs will be arrang-
| ed in the shape of a wedge with the mar
| rowest point near the chairman's platform.
| Immediately to the right and left of the
| delegates seats will be the space allotted
| to the alternates. These gentlemen rank in
| Importance next to the members of the
| delegations themselves, and their seats are
| so arranged that they may be called into
the active body of the convention at any
| time
| On the platform back of the chairman's
| table there will be arranged 242 seats. re-
| served for friends of the chairman and
| prominent leaders of the party and special
| guests Of the convention.
Press Accommodations.
| The arrangements being made for the
working newspaper men are promised to be
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1904-05-13

the best of any convention yet held. Long
benches or tables will be provided for the
active correspondents on each side of the
central platform. The position of the corre-
spondents is clearly shown in the illustra-
ton There will be $50 seats at the tables
or writing benches. In addition to these
there will be between $50 and 500 additional
seats reserved for newspaper men: Inese
will be occupied by members of the rural
and weekly press and those who are attend
ing the convention as descriptive writer's,
In other words, men who will not be COM
PEELED to write their stories While the con-
Vention is in session.
Rising from the main floor in the shape Of
an oval are tiers of reserved seats, to be as
signed to visitors Beginning from the level
of the main floor, these seats rise In tiers, on
a plan similar to that found in a base ball
grand stand. This circle of seats will ac-
commodate no less than 5000 persons. Many
of the reserved section have been assigned
to the people of st. Louis, While the others
will be disposed of by democratic leaders,
national committeeman and delegates to the
convention. There are eighty-seven boxes
at the base of the dress circle. 1t is esti-
mated that from eight to ten persons can
be comfortably accommodated In each or
these the whole number of box seats being
in the neighborhood of $50.
In addition to the main floor plan, as
shown in the accompanying illustration, the
gallery of the Coliseum will be called into
service. The gallery will be arranged with
a seating capacity of 2,91o.
Seats for Delegates.
Representation in the democratic national
convention from the various states is based
upon their representation in Congress, For
each representative and each senator two
delegates are allowed. New York heads the
list with seventy-eight delegates. The en-
pire state has thirty-seven members of the
House of Representatives and two senators,
making the total congressional representa-
ton thirty-nine Doubling this gives the
seventy-eight delegates. who have already
been selected and instructed for Judge Par
kerr The sovereign state of Pennsylvania,
although her electoral votes will be several
hundred thousands of ballots distant from
the democratic column, ranks next to New
York in the matter of representation in the
convention and in influencing a choice OF
candidates.
Each of the territories and the District of
Columbia will have representation OF six

side, was awakened ami she took him in her
arms and tried by all means at her COM
mand 10 relieve him, but without success
After gasping for ten minutes, Mrs. Blake
being meanwhile unable to secure assist
ance, Capt. Blake passed away.
Capt. Blake had for the past twenty-five
years been connected with steamboats, run
ming out of Washington to resorts on the
Potomac river, and was known to all those
who patroniZed the craft with which he was
connected.
Was Forty Miner"
In 1910 Capt. Blake with party of
friends went to the gold fields of California
where he succeeded in amassing fortune.
He returned east few years later and en-
gagged in business, but 1t was not until 1871
that he took up his residence in Washing
ton This residence he held until his death
this morning.
About twenty-five years ago Capt. Blake,
with the late Col. McKibben, became in
terested in steamboating on the Potomac.
He with Col. McKibben had the steamboat
w. w. Corcoran built and secured the ex-
elusive control for taking passengers by
water to Mt Vernon. His river work led
to the purchase of Marshall Hall on the
Potomac, which Capt. Blake and Col. Nc
Kibben established as a pleasure resort
and which met with more or less success:
A few years ago Col. Mckibben dled ana
the affairs of the company fell into the
hands of another corporation.
Capt Blake was one of the most popular
river men in Washington. He was known
personally to those who patronlzed me
river resorts and all who knew him appre-
ciated his genial, kindly disposition.
ARRANGEMENTS have been made to take
the body of Capt. Blake to Vermont sum
dav. where 1t will be inferred near the
home of his birthplace. His wife and two
children survive him.
