Convention Notes.
Wheeling News.1

Wheeling News.l
Hon VIM. NJ O. Dawson, the gu
bernatorial nominee. was early in the
convention hall this morning, receiv-
ing the congratulations of his friends
and giving expressions of his graft
tufle for the honor conferred or him
by the convention. All the letter
badges gave way to Dawson badges
this morning. even those who seem
ed to be fighting Mr.. Dawson most
bitterly wearing his badges on the
la pcls~of their coats this morning.
The big fight disposed of the can
didates for the lesser Offices busted
themselves among the delegates in
the convention hall and about the
park grounds this morning. Before
the convention assembled cards con
tanning pictures and announcements
gof Newton Ogdin's candidacy for
State Treasurer were placed on every
chair in the hall. Cards OF other can
didates were posted about the hall
and the candidates themselves were
busy among the delegates.
The committee on resolutions, which
was unprepared to report when the
convention reassembled after the
afternoon recess yesterday, reassem-
bled in the old park restaurant at
$3.50 o'clock this morning and again
argued on the question of a tax re-
form plank in the platform. w. p
Hubbard made an heroic stand tor
plans and unequivocal tax reform
plank and combatted and refuted sue
cessfully every argument against
such plank made by the other mem
bers of the committee.
There was quite a contrast between
the early scenes enacted in the con
vention hall to-day and those OF yes
terday. The delegates seemed to
have exerted all their strength in
the Dawson-Teter fight and to have
none remaining to be used in the
fights for the lesser Offices. The Wood
county delegation, so nery and lmpet-
uoils Tuesday, seemed to have its en-
thusiasm soused with ice water, but
all over the hall, very unlike yester-
day, there was an entire absence OF
pre-convention enthusiasm.
Public interest in the convention
seemed to end with the selection OF
governor. The spectators We're few
in comparison with the opening day.
Instead Of the packed galleries of yes
terday this morning only the two first
rows of seats had occupants, but the
crowd grew larger as the convention
progressed.
Both Meister's and the Fairmont
bands We're in the galleries to-day to
discourse lively music for the conven-
ton. The latter was particularly in
evidence at any mention of Charley
Swisher's name.
Bob Stallings, of Tucker county,
known as one of the most ardent of
Teter's supporters, fell into line with
the. rest of the delegates and a Daw
son badge was conspicuous on his
coat lapel.
.Down In Dixie by the band just
before the convention was called to
order stirred up the first evidence of
latent enthusiasm of the day.

candidate with sufficient strength to

 Mrs. HarcOurt played her part well and pretended that she was much dis

London. Nov. 12.-'The Flute Ot Pan." by John Oliver Hobbes C1frs. R. W. Craigie), with which play Olga Nethersole opened her London season at the Shaftcsbury theater tonight. met a very hostile reception. 4 chorus of ''Boos.' which increased in I0udness as the play progr ressed. marked the end Of every act. Mrs. Craigie has very fashionable following. which was well represented in tOnight's audience, those present including American Ambas- sador Choate and Mrs. Choate and the duchess of Marlborough.
 All through the third act the gallery was so unanimous. in it's disapI-ovai of the performance that Miss Neither sole became hysterical and appeared before the curtain with tears stream ing down her face, and lifted her arms in mute appeal to her tormeu- tors, but without effect Miss Neither sole, however, proceeded plUckily with the last act but amid loud "b9olIg'
 the lights were lowered and the audi ence dispersed. The play was well act l ed. especially the role assumed by Miss ! Nethersole. but it is devoid of interest

France Denies an intention
 to Intervene
NOPRF SfNT OPPORTUNITY
Foreign Minister Delcasse Sets at Rest All Reports That His Country is Ac- lively DesirOus of Early Peace in the Far East.

ps,is Nov. 12.-RepOrts of cont m nlatad mediation in the war in the Tar aast have again made it plain that rrr7rre does not consider the time op- norrlne to exert influence singly CT jointly to induce Russia to make or accent terms At the same momenI that rumors were circulating in Vari- ous capitals that France intended 10 act. M. Delcasse, the foreign ministe-. was pointing rut to diplomatic callers that efforts ct mediation would be fu- tile.
 The following is the textual language used when one of the ambassadors sounded the minister on Frances in tentions. The ambassador said: Ut is profoundly regrett3ble that the par ties did not heed your advice toward averting the present slaughter"
 .'Yes." answered NJ. uelcasse, but all my efforts were in vain
 The ambassador then asked: 'C5n nothing be done to terminate the war?"
 MT. Delcasse replied with an eXpI es- sion of deep regret: No; I am sorry to say that it appears that nrth.ng can Ee done at this time"
 Although brief. this is accepted as showing that Russia's best friends have not entertained any present Dr5suect of mediation.

Auburn, Calif.. Nov. 12.-NOthng new of importance has thus far been deveI- oped by the -coroner's invesUgati- n of the Weeer tragedy.
