Delaware Factional Forces.

senator Ball or delaware, the leader OF
the anti-Addicks forces in that state, had
conference with the President. The state
convention of the regular republicans, as
the antd-Addicks faction is known, will be
held at Dover next Tuesday. The union
or Addicks, republicans have already held
their state convention and elected delegates
to Chicago pledged to Roosevelt for Prest-
dent. At the head of the union delegation
is ]. Edward Addicks himself. The regular
republicans are expected to send q contest
Ing delegation to Chicago pledged to the
President also. Senator Ball will no doubt
be a member of this delegation There
will be big fight in the Chicago conven-
ton as to which faction will be Recognized.
Four years ago the union republicans were
recognized by the national convention and
]. Edward Addicks became the republican
national committeeman. The right of the
union republicans to be again looked upon
as the real organization in Delaware will
be disputed from every point. Senator
Ball said today that his faction had always
been the regular party in the state. 1t
still retained the emblem of the eagle,
which had from the inception Of the re-
publican party In Delaware been the party
emblem. The union republicans split from
the regular party in 1895 and took the star
their emblem.
Edward Addicks has declared that no
further attempts will be made to deal with
the regulars and that his party will here
after put out tickets for the suffrage of
the people without consideration Of the ex-
istence of the other side. Senator Ball said
today that while he did not know what
would be done this summer and fall as to
state and congressional and other candi-
dates. he was at least satisfied that there
would be only one ticket of electors. There
will be no question as to the electoral vote
OF the state said Senator Ball. 1T will
be cast for Roosevelt and there will be but
one electoral ticket in the field' Senator
Ball did not say how an agreement would
be reached by the two factions as to one
electoral ticket, but it is believed that the
regulars would support the union electoral
ticket, If necessary, rather than endanger
the electoral vote. Two tickets Of elect
ors would mean the loss of the state to
the democrats beyond question.
Ihe intention of the regulars Ia to put
tickets for governor and state efficers and
congressman in the field this s,rfn1ner and
support their tickets with their full strength
unless an agreement can be reached with
the union republicans. Addicles aAid this
cannot be done, and consequently two re-
publican tickets for everything Is expected

quet is considered to be one of the bright
est scholars in the Roman branch of the
church and his lecture, it is said, will be
an interesting presentation of this portion
of English history.
He is also the author of a fascinating
work on the black death in England. en-
titled 1.-The Great Pestilence of 134S." He
is also the editor of the new edition OF
'Montalemberts Monks of the West, to
which he has prefixed, an admirable ac-
count of the work and influence of the
Benedictine Order in medieval England DR..
Gasquet is a foremost authority of ecclesi-
astical life, manners and education in Eng
land just previous to the Reformation. His
two volumes of essays on THE English
Bible and 1.-The Eve of the Reformation
have challenged universal attention in Eng
land and the continent. Among other
things, he has made it quite clear that
John Wyclif was by no means the first to
translate the Bible into English. and very
probably never translated the Bible at all.
Dom Gasquet is mitred abbot, and
head of the Benedictine communities in
England He was also a member of the
commission established by Leo XIII on
the validity of the Anglican orders. He
is actually a member of the commission

DISTRIBUTION OF ICE.
Fund for Benefit of Poor and What It
Accomplished.

Eighty thousand pounds of ice have been
distributed to the sick poor and to those
having young infants out of the fund given
to Commissioner mcfarland for that pur-
pose by a philanthropic Washingtonian at
the beginning of the summer, according to
a report made by George S. Wilson, secre-
tary of the board of charities, who had
charge of the distribution. He Informed
Commissioner Macfarland this morning
that the benefit resulting to the families
affected was very great and could not be
calculated. He also said the physicians to
the poor and the nurses of the Instructive
Visiting Nurses Society, who looked after
the details of the distribution and reported
on each case, were entitled to much credit,
and Mr.. Macfarland asked him to thank
them for these extra services.
The comparative GOODNESS of much of the
summer of course, reduced the necessity
for Ice but nevertheless it was regarded as
indispensable in many cases, and, in the
judgement of those who distributed it, it
saved many lives, besides giving comfort
and strength in many other cases. Mr..
Macfarland believes that the donor will
continue to provide ice for special cases of
this sort throughout the winter, when a
comparatively small amount will be re-
CURED.
