MASSACHUSETTS, DELEGATES
Go to the Convention with n Ma
jOrity for OIney.

Boston, April 26.-Democratic con-
ventions for the election of delegates
to the national convention at ST. Louis
were held in the fourteen congressional
districts of the state to-day and in all
but four districts delegates, either
pledged or favorable to the nomina-
ton of Richard Olney for the Pres
idency, were chosen.
OF these delegates twenty-one are
claimed for Olney, six are conceded
to Hearst. while one is unpledged and
non-committal. To the Olney forces
must be added the four delegates at
large elected and pledged to him at the
state convention.
OF the eleven conventions held out
side of this city, fifteen delegates either
pledged to or known to favor Olney
were elected; six delegates were pledg-
ed Internationally to Hearst, while
one delegate is unpledged.
With the four delegates at large and
the twenty-one elected to-day the Oh
ney faction have majority and will,
it is understood enforce the unit rule
at the national convention.
Against the unit rule the Hearst dele
gates will make a strong protest to
the Democratic National Committee
The greatest surprise of the day
was occaAnned by the result of the
ballot in the Twelfth district conven-
tion which was held in this city.
Dedham, the home of George Fred
Williams, leader of the Hearst faction
in Massachusetts is in this district and
Mr.. Williams was a candidatS for
delegate on the Hearst ticket. He and
the other Hearst delegates were de-
feated, and delegates pledged to Rich
ard Olney elected.
Delegates favorable to Hearst's can
didacy were elected in the Third dis
trict, which is represented in Congress
by John r. Thayer, one of the fore
most opponents of Mr.. Hearsts candi-
dacy.

to-day drove to the plaza D'Armi with
Queen Helena and reviewed 10000
troops. The President expressed to

satisfaction with the efficiency and
martial bearing of the troops, espe-
cially admiring the Bersaglieri, who,
with their quick step and waving
cocks feathers in their hats, marched
past in their most characteristic man
ner.
M. Loubet and the King later visited
the Roman Forum, where they were
received by Prof. Benz, director of ex-
cavations. who in their presence un-
earthed three prehistoric tombs.
AS M. Loubet left the spot he said
the Forum was most inspiring as being
the cradle of the Latin race.
This evening the French President
received in private audience each of
the ambassadors separately He was
most cordial to United States Ambas-
sador Meyer and made him sit down
by his side.
The whole of Rome is Illuminated

THE ESSENCE OF ART.

We must remember that it is not the
 choice of subject that makes the value
 of the work of art. Otherwise the
 story of the Bible would always be full
 of aesthetic beauty instead of the in-
 definite tedium which haunts the re-
 ligious picture. So, evidently, in the smaller dramatic situations, the fact that
 so many brave men have held small
 post with their last cartridges, that cer-
 tain men have made a last intellectual
 charge. whether English or French, at
 Fontenoy or Waterloo, do not make a
 work of art The meaning of the hero-
 ism should be told in painting by the
 arrangement of line and mass and color,
 embracing more or less within its net,
 the human courage which is the story of
 the picture. No poet laurate, because
 he has the task of telling a great national story, thereby succeeds in a heoric ode. Rare indeed, even in poetry, are the stories of great successful bat ties. It might almost seem as If the stories of defeat, of how "the flowers of the forest are all wede away" carry with them more of the essence of art l than the songs of triumph, and because of the solemnity of human fate, there has been no greater triumph recorded 1 than that of the dead Hector dragged around the walls of sacred Troy behind the chariot-wheels of the the victor
 Achilles.-John Le Farge in McCiure's
