MISSOURI REPUBLICANS.
Excelsior Springs Convention Nominntes
Candidates for Two State Ofices-
Hadley Permanent Chairman.

Excelsior Springs, Mo.-The
republican state convention adjourned
at o'clock Thursday night after NOM
mating B. u. White, of Brookfeld,
for state superintendent schools.
and William Flentge, of Cape Girar-
deau, for railroad and warehouse COM
missioner, and selecting ten members
at large Of the state central commit
tee.
White was nominted on the first
ballot. The vote was: White 599,
Buchanan 2S5, Evans 143, Thielman A.
Before the roll was called for MEM
Der Of the board Of railroad and ware
house commissioners a motion to dis
pense with seconding speeches was
carried with shout. Dr. e. B. Glenn
ents' for the first district yielded to
Scion T. Gilmore Of Kansas City, who
placed before the convention the name
of Charles G. Madison of Jackson
county Joseph Black of Ray county
nominated w. H. Odneal Of Mercer
county, jill. Conrath of Cole county
named A. I. Keim Of Jefferson City.
Don G. Summers Of st. Louis nominal
ted A. G. Without Of st. Louis.
Flentge owed his nomination to two
facts. His district traded its full vote
to J. U. White Of Brookfeld, who was
nominated for superintendent OF
schools, and the second district went
practically solid to Flentge and stood
by him when its neighbors were all
going to Madison. The other was the
fact that he speaks the German lau'
guage, and Of the 1872 delegates from
st. Louis city ITS could speak the same
language. They stood by him to man.
The third and sixth district that had
scattered on the first roll call, and
the eighth, that had voted practically
solid fo:. Keim, the Jefferson City can
didate, changed to Madison after
Flentge was really nominated. The
ninth tried to change but took too
much time and failed to score, though
it could not have changed the result
Flentge received COG votes, Madison
445, Odneal 7, and Keim 9.
The convention selected as members
at large of the state committee Thomas

A NEW QUEEN FOR SPAIN.
Madrid IL Greatly Pleased mt the
Marriage of King Alfonso to
an English Princess.

Madrid, Spain. - The city awoke
Thursday under a cloudless sky with
dazzling sunshine adding its glories to
the bewildering maze Of color III
which the streets were enveloped.
From an early hour the centers pre-
sented an aspect of extreme animation
The entire night had passed amid the
din of fireworks, singing and dancing
and thousands Of provincials, unable TO
secure shelter, spent the night in cafes
and in the streets. At 8 o'clock
crowds densely packed the main thor
oughfares and the troops took up their
positions, stopping all traffic and the
whole city took on an air OF feverish
expectancy. The esplanade fronting
the royal palace was occupied by regi-
ments of the royal guards in full, gala
uniforms, with glittering breast plates
and helments. They formed semi-cir-
cles, guarding the approaches to the
palace from the crowds eager to gain
points of vantage. The massive out
lines of the palace were without deco
rations save the royal standard float
ing above. Detachments Of halber-
diers, with quaint cockades, stood
with halberts crossed at the princes
gate, leading to the palace courtyard.
AS the royal couple entered the as
semblage arose and 200 choristers in
toned q professional hymn. The king
looked calm, happy and slightly pale
as usual. Across the breast of his
field marshal's uniform was the blue
and white sash of the Order Of Charles
III and on his breast sparkled the
orders of the garter and of the golden

vered embroidery of her wedding dress
being reflected by the myriad of lights
until the bride seemed to be robed in
jewels. Her veil, slightly drawn, aside
revealed her clear, fine features with
cheeks full of youthful color.
The king advanced to meet the bride
and they stood together as the mar
riage service began. The ceremony
was performed with all the impress
siveness of the Roman ritual, cardinal

special nuncio of the pope and the
highest dignitaries of the church, with
scores of acolytes and incense burners.
The ceremony, which lasted nearly an

newly married couple and the chanting

SENATOR GORMAN.
cause Of deaf

Senator German long had been a
notable figure in the national congress.
lie first took his seat in 1881 and
served continuously for 10 years and
nearly all of that time he was the
leader of his party in the senate.
Winning early a reputation for saga
city and the keenest judgment in con-
sressional affairs he attained promi-
nonce not only as leader in the SEN
ate but in the country at large and
by many men was considered the most
available man in his party for the
presidency.
The senate adjourned Immediately
upon receiving the announcement OF
Senator Germans death No business
whatever was transacted, even the
reading of the journal being dispensed
with There was an unusual number
of senators present and all were man
ifestly impressed by the solemnity of
the occasion. Appropriate resolutions
were adopted and committee to at
tend the funeral was appointed as
follows:
Messrs. Raynor, Allison, Morgan,
Hale, Aldrich, Teller, Gallinger, Ell
kins, Martin, Tillman Clay, Spooner,
Kean, Bailey, Blackburn, Clark (Mont)
and Overman.
After the senate adjourned the desk
and chair formerly occupied by Sem

FOR HER STATESMEN
FRANCE TO BUILD MAGNIFICENT
CHAMBER OF DEPUTIES.
Designs Adopted Provide for Monu'
mental Facade on the Quai
dorsey, and will Cost
$2,O73,351.

The commission appointed by the
French house of deputies to consider
the matter Of remodelling or rebuild
ing the hall Of the chamber OF depu-
ties has made its report In favor Oh
the building of new hall, which
means that the present building Will
be demolished and new and larger and
more magnificent structure built.
The fact has long been recognized
that the lighting and ventilating Oh
the old building was defective and IN
addition the accommodations were In
adequate, not admitting of the most
convenient seating of the members ac-
cording to their party affiliations. IN
the new building this will be provided
for, the three great divisions INTO
which the house is separated being
given ample room. The first division
Is made up of the consolidated repub-
lican groups; the second is the oppo-
sition, including every group against
the present administration. The third
is the Extreme Left, composed OF So
cialist bodies Of various complexlons
who, although voting usually with the
government "bloc," have curious
way of joining forces with the oppo-
sition, just as they did when they
overturned the Rouvier cabinet the
other day-the opposition voting that
the government had been too severe
in taking the church inventories ana
the socialists voting that they had not
been severe enough
What is geographically designated
as the center Of the chamber Is Occur
pied by the moderates. They are
dominated by the left center or the
right center, according as a govern
ment proposition may be Radical or
Conservative.
It will thus be seen that in passing
from the left center to the right, the
government may encounter various
phases Of opposition from the moder-
ates' objections to the manner OF exc
cutting laws to the objection of the reg
ular opposition to the laws them
soeves; while on the left are the So
cialists, ever ready to support the gov
eminent in radical changes, particu-
larly If these changes have liberal and
socialistic aims, and just as ready to
rebuke 1t should the law they have
supported be not executed with proper
vigor
In the building of this new home for
the deputies, the Corinthian peristyle
of the present building is to give place
to a Louis Seize facade, designed by
M. Nenot, a member of the Institute
and architect of the Sorbonne. This
structure to be destroyed was erected
in 1882 and has been used by thu

suicide Saturday night at foorejon De
