Hopes 10 Retain Control Of Della.
ware In the New Republican Deal.

DOVER, Del, Sept. A.-Delegates are
arriving tonight for the first Republican
convention to be- participated in by all
Delaware Republicans since 1894.
Old Republicans who took part in politi-
cal battles before the split over Addicks
are hobnobbing with their late enemies and
with the young Republicans Wit have never
known anything in Delaware politics but
a split.
j. Edward Addicks, the founder of the
Union Republican party, who is bending
his energies to beat Senator j. Frank Alice
in the convention, so that he may hold the
leadership of the Republic ans of lower
Delaware, arrived early.
The joint meeting OF the two State COM
mittees tonight had little opportunity
to become discordant. When the four dis
trict chairmen were being selected some
body nom mated Calcb r. Layton, Addicks's
victorious Georgetown foe. Addicks in
stantly nominated Thomas Curry, but
it took only a moment to show that Curry,
not being a delegate, was in eligible. When
Kent was reached, Allee's friend, David
s. Clark. was named without opposition.
The other chairmen we're selected by ac-
clamation.
Wher it came to choosing o convention
cha pla in, Rev. L. f. Barrett, ID. D., late cha D.
lain of the House. was nominated to make
the opening prayer. Addicks wanted TO
know whether it was to be a temporary or a
permanent prayer. Even Alice and Layton
had to laugh.
Senator Thomas c. Moore Of Smyrna was
selected as temporary chairman of the
convention.

QUIGG'S CLIR NOT IRREGULAR"
Court Refuses 10 Decide UntI the Primary
Fight Is Decided.

Because OF the fact that there il a fractional
fight among the Republicans of the new
Fifteenth Assembly district, the old Nine
teenth. Supreme Court Justice Giegerich
has decided that the application Of the
Republican Club OF the Nineteenth Assem-
bly, district for authority to change its name
to Regular Republican Organization Club
Of the Fifteenth Assembly District must be
denied.
his is the district in which Lemuel Ely
Quigg is fighting for tho Republican lead
ership as an Udel Republican, and the
petition was made by the club which Quigg
is said to control. Taking into considera-
tion the fact that the fight won't be ended
until primary day, Justice Giegerich says:
The papers show without contradiction
the preeminence of the petitioner in the
former Nineteenth Assembly district; and
il il fair to infer, from tho number and
character Of its membership. that it would
he a body II great importance and power in
the new Fifteenth Assembly district. But
as it in undisputed that IA contest is now
in progress among the Republicans of this
newly constituted district for its organiza-
ton and control, manifest fairness requires
that the Court refrain from granting to
either side permission to appropriate the

Great Northern in the proposition, it
is now endeavoring to dispose of the
same to the Milwaukee road, by the
purchase Of which line the latter COM
pany would obtain right Of way and
line into Lewistown, and through the
pass between the Big Snowy and the
Little Belt mountains, in the vicinity
of Ubet
This would give the Milwaukee an
opening to bring it's main line into
Great Falls, and continue westward
through one of the available passes
over the Rockies. BY crossing the yell
lowstone at Miles City, the Milwaukee
survey would have a direct line up
through the usseshell valley to Har-
lowton, where it would connect with
the Montana road and continue in Il
northwesterly direction toward Great
Falls paralleling the Great Falls-Rll-
ings line toward this city.
Railroad men who have studied the
situation state that, while it is un-
doubtedly the intention of that road
to build into Butte, that it will never
attempt to construct it's transcOnti-
mental line throught that city, as it can
not afford to haul transcontinental
freight over the steep grades which
must be encountered in constructing
into that city.--Great Falls Leader.
Having completed it's portion of the
work in surveying a possible new line
between this city and Belt to evade
the heavy grades Of the Belt hill, the
party of Great Northern engineers
working in connection with the Great
Falls near Swift, was in the city last
night, leaving on the early morning
train for Lombard, where he will take
the Montana road for Fergus county to
begin work on another section of the
survey toward Billings.
The party, which was in charge of
H. H. Tubbs, was composed of Mr..
Tubbs, H. c. Bode, w. N. Walker, j.
NJ. Simmons. L. W. Sheppard, E. w.
Nye, j. B. Darling, Jr.. and Lee Alb
bott. This party, which was one of
the first to be placed upon the work,
has been engaged for several months
| in the work of locating new route be-
tween this city and Belt, to do away
with the present steep grades, which
at present make it impossible to make
anything like a fast run between the
two points and which would prove a
great obstacle in the way Of running
of trains between st. Louis and the
| coast, as is now understood to be the
plan of the Hill system upon the COM
pletion of the Billings branch.
With it's retirement from this part of

| ors' part of this task has been COM
pleted and that their presence is more
