As there will probably be only two big
conventions this year, and the republican
convention. at least, will be short one,
the Associated Press will probably be called
upon to expend not more than $4,000 In
convention reporting. 1t takes about ten
stenographic reporters and fifteen CORE
spondents and editors to cover conven-
ton for the Associated Press, and as the
figures given above show, the cost of the
convention reporting is in direct ratio to

The Convention Hall.

The heaviest single item of expense to
be met by the convention city is the fur
nishing of the convention hall. This year
both conventions will be held in buildings
that have been used for similar purposes
before, but sometimes the hall has to be
built from the ground up. In 1900 Kansas
City had to do this for the democratic con-
vention. When the structure was nearly
completed II took fire and was burned and
the local citizens committee had a hard
time getting the second hall ready In time
Even when there is a good convention

For many years the direct expenses of
the national conventions have been paid
by the cities in which the conventions have
been held. Newspaper readers generally
are familiar with the quadrennial bids put
in for the conventions by New York, Chi
cago. Philadelphia, st. Louis and other
places: the bids OF late years have ranged
from $4,000 to $4,000, and have generally

This grand total of 81. 1O3 900 for three

to carry on the war with SPAIN
1t was different in the early days of the
republic Only the expenses of opening the
polls and counting the votes were neces-
sary in the election of George Washing
ton, which was unanimous; none at all for

the older simpler ways gave place to the
modern method of nomination by conven-

quite needlessly, as he was giving no trouble.
The sailor resisted and struggled, and both
he and the policeman fell. The sailors
head was badly cut.
A crowd of several hundred persons
gathered and demanded the sailors re-
lease. Other police came to the scene,
and the crowd, which continued to in

New Haven Road Said 10 He Unwilling
70 Pay $50 Q Share.

The directors Of the New York, New
Haven and Hartford Railroad held long
meeting yesterday at the Grand Central
Station TO discuss the purchase OF the
Ontario and Western Railroad. At the end
OF the meeting President Charles S. Mellen
of the New Haven said that he could make
public nothing,
II was believed in Wall Street that the
directors had before them a proposition
from the controlling interests in the Ontario
and Western for the sale Of their stock
to the New Haven, and that discussion
OF these terms was held and counter
proposition decided upon. II has been
rumored that Ontario and Western stock
holders were willing to turn their hold
inRs over for $50 a share, while the New
Haven interests did not wish to pay more
than SIS. 1t Is not believed that this diff
ference Of opinion will prevent the con-
summation Of the transaction.
Ontario and Western stock was active
again in the stock market yesterday and
on sales Of IO5. 600 shares closed with Q
net gain OF point for the day, although
at one time IL had advanced over 2 points:
The high price at which the stock sold
yesterday 7X-repreeents the IS share
which the New Haven interests are said
to be willing to pay, together with the
q per cent dividend recently declared on
the stock, and the deal may be concluded
on this basis.

BOGtS EMERALDS FROM PARIS.
OFFERED to the Trade Here and Detected
by O Lapidury.


A shock was given to the jewelry district
Yesterday by the discovery that lot OF
eueralds sent here from Paris are simply
doublets of quartz with the coloring cleverly
placed between the pieces. A number OF
importers and dealers bought some OF the
at ones, which responded to all the ordinary
tests and were II not for chance discovery
in a laboratory the supposed germs would
in few days more have reached the retail
trade.
Oscar T. Jonassohn of 65 Nassau street
received some samples which were sent TO
him with an invitation to buy quantity,
and he sent out a. warning to his friends
in the trade. He tested the stones for hard
ness and other qualities and they came
up to the standard in each, but he was
still doubtful and sent them to Garreaud
4 Griser lapidaries, at 90 Nassau street,
Mr. Griser CHANGED to apply heat and to
his surprise the two parts of the doublet
separated and the color disappeared, leav-
ing two ordinary quartz crystals instead
of what had seemed to be beautiful green
stone.
The French merchants who sent the stones
here called them pure emeralds and said
that their especially fine color and brill
ance was result Of a scientific process OF
coloring. The price was 100 francs carat,
which seemed reasonable for gems OF high
grade, and some of the buyers rejoiced
at the supposed discovery Of new coloring
process which would yield emeralds OF 30
much beauty. The duty at 20 per cent.
was 81 a carat and this is many times the
real value of the stones.

MADRID, Oct. 2e.-A representative OF

vessels Of the Baltic feet at yigo. He
represents them as saying that while the
feet was in the North Sea they saw two
strange torpedo boats between the lines Of
the Russian vessels. Surprising that they
were Japanese the Russian ships fred on
them
The interviewer suggested that the al
legged torpedo boats might have been traw-
lers. The officers replied that there were
certainly guns on board the vessels and
their sailors did not look like fishermen.
They were unaware that anybody had been
wounded, and were sorry II II proved they
had fred at English fishermen.

miral Rojestvensky, in an interview, said
that the North Sea incident was inevitable
He had acted In accordance with his con-
science, for the purpose Of preventing the
destruction of his squadron. Before he
left Libau he made known his intention
to attack any vessel approaching his feet.

ron, was suddenly surrounded by eight
torpedo boats in the North Sea. The

The battleships thereupon advanced and
signaled to the unknown vessels to leave
or state their nationality. They refused
to obey and advanced among the battle
ships Suddenly cannon shot was fired
~ one Of the unknown vessels, whereupon
the Admiral formed the squadron in line
OF battle and replied, after which the voyage
was resumed.

Special Cable Despatch to THE SUN.

Special Cable Despatch to THE SUN.
ST. PETERSBURG. Dot. 26.-In the absence
Of action by the Admiralty, the tension is
called upon Admiral Rojestvensky for an
Official report Of the affair in the North
Sea. nor has It yet told him Of the inter-
national gravity Of the occasion. 1t merely
repeated to vigo it's telegram to Cher
.bourg, in which he Jvas aakea 10 eiss de-
tails Of the collision with the fishing feet.
II is belle we'd that q reply was received
this afternoon.
Capt. s. A. g. Calthorpe, the British
Naval Attache, visited the Admiralty yes
tsrday in full uniform, and served upon
the Russian naval authorities a solemn
warning that many British fishermen ply
their trade on the coasts Of Spain and Por-
tugal, in the path of Admiral Rojestven-
sky's squadron.
In none of the newspapers Is the Russian
feet blamed Most Of the writer's discuss
the supposition that there were Japanese
aboard the trawlers.
Anyhow" says the Nopoe Vremyd, "the
fshermens attitude was so conspicuous
as to justify extreme measures. 1t was
not our fault that we are dealing with an
enemy that shrinks at nothing. The
Russian squadron has enormous respon-
sibilities and corresponding rights"
The Russ repeats the orders given at
Reval and Iibau, to fire at any boat that
might approach the warships.
Late this evening inquirers at the Min
istry Of Marine were informed that nothing
had been received from Admiral Rojest-
vensky, but were given to understand that
measures had been taken to intercept the
feet.
The correspondent OF THE Sun learns
that the Russian Ambassador at Madrid
was instructed to charter a swift steamer
at Vieo with which to communicate inn
mediately with the fleet. This has since
been done, but it Is not known whether
the steamer met the warships.
So far az public opinion can be said to
exist at all here it is unfavorable to the
British demands. IHtIt hio dbuhudut GA
pressions Of sympathy for the victims and
n readiness to subscribe to a relief fund,
which a newspaper has started, but the
idea Of anything more being necessary 10
beyond Russian conception.
All this fuss about handful Of peasant
fishermen is something uncomfortable TO
the minds of the official and aristocratio
classes, who are incapable Of compromising
the value set upon the lives OF humble folk
In Great Britain.
This completely antithetical point Of
view constitutes one Of the chief dangers
Of the situation. How far the Govern
ment will be able to detach itself from this
characteristic Muscovite viewpoint 1t Is
impossible to cay.

ton by the Baltic feet Of perfect right
TO ride the high seas as it would Russian
territorial waters, forbidding the approach
OF other ships at their peril and exercising
an unreasonable right 10 enforce the
nrohibit ion.
