Captain Eels who has been trying
for years TO get bill through congress
authorizing him to- construct light
house on the famous and dangerous
Diamond Shoals reef off Cape Hat
teras. seems to have great difficulty N
getting his bill through. Sometimes
it meets with favor OH one side or the
other. but il strikes snag in one way
or another at every session. Eells has
made what many people consider a
fair offer to the government. Majority
reports from different committees have
been made in favor Of the proposed in.
novation in lighthouse construction.
but just as it seems likely that some
thing is 10 be done strong protest is
made and the bill is put aside. Every
attempt heretofore made TO build a
lighthouse at this most dangerous place
on the Atlantic coast has failed.

Washington, April 27.-[Special.I-It
may be that the solution of the search
for a chairman of the Republican ma
tional committee will be found in the
selection OF Senator Lodge to manage
the campaign. The Massachusetts sen
atOr was considered some months ago
when it was known that Senator Han
ma would not again accept the place.
Senator Lodge did not want the place.
and if he should accept now it would
be with some reluctance. But he is al
most sure TO be the chairman OF the
committee on the platform ut the ma
tional convention, and possibly he may
place Roosevelt in nomination for pres
ident. The prominence he will have in
the convention and the well known
close relations he has with the presi-
dent may result in his being chosen by
the national committee as its chair
man. Some think that Governor Muir
ply of New Jersey will be chosen. and
there is still some suggestion that w
Murray Crane, formerly governor of
Massachusetts, may be induced to be
come chairman. II is hard place,

hesitate to take IL.
