IS ENDORSED
uIINOIs REPUBLICANS FAVOR
 SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE.
They Declared In Favor of Revision of The Tariff And Elected Delegates so The National
 Convection.

Springfield. Ill, March a6--The Re- nuhifeans of Illinois today enthusias- ticaIly endorsed Joseph c. Cannon as a candidate for the presidency. de- ciared in favor of a revision of the tariff, and elected four delegates oi large to the Natiofsi Convention. The men chosen are United states Senators shelby M. Culiom and Albert !. Hopkins, Governor Charles S. Deneen and Mayor Fred A Busse. of Chicago.
 The convention also endorsed the administration of Governor Deneen and that of all other state officers The candidacy of Governor Deneen to sue ceed himself was not mentioned, if being understood that only matters of national import should come before the convention.
 For the last two days. 1t had been confidently asserted by the platform builders that the resolutions would favor tariff "adjustment" instead of revision" it being the Idea that the sarsyisfon" is generally accepted as inR reduction and adjustment might mean the raising of some schedules as we'll as the lowering of others.
 Tn the last moment. however. Con wressman Henry g. BouteH arrived from Washington where he had con suited with Speaker cannon anu OtH9I Republican leaders, and the plank adopted today was the result.
 The Cannon men had things entirely their own way and there was not a whisper of opposition throughout the day. All motions were adopted unant- naousiy and without debate and the apuIause that greeted the reading Of the plank eiid5fsing tic candidacy of the speaker was enthusiastic. Just be- fore the reading of the platform, the convention took sudden adJournment and many of the delegates never re turned to the hall. spending their time in either watching the fire or in IookIue for themselves After an Iterim of an hour. the convention was called to order again by Chairman Buckingham and the final part of the program was carried out.

NCENDIARY FIRED
BLAZE IN HOME or auEsTroNABIE ORIGIN.
c. O. 43eauchamp's Residence Ignlted Supposedly ssn Result of spring, Cfenning--Binme Fer Flame
 Not Fined.

Five distinctly separate fires, vari- ously located on the second floor. were revealed to the gaze of the aston ished firemen on their arrival at the residence of 0. o. Beauchamp. 4ss South Perry Street. about 1i:40 o'clock
 That the fire had incendiary origin Is suggested not only because of in- cidents but on account of statements by Fire Chief Browder.
 In the first alarm sent in, the de- partment was advised that the fire was located at. Nor near. the corner of Perry and Lawrence Streets. The fn- definite nature of the directions fur nished in the alarm caused some con fusion. and the apparatus of the Madi- son Avenue Station first started up Dexter Avenue. but the error was soon corrected and with little loss of time the locality of the fire was reached.
 Upon their arrival. the men dis covered a peculiar condition of af- fairs. s@Smoke was lazily drifting out of the second story of the house, but no flames appeared from the outside.
 Investigating. the firemen found that in three closets, in the middle of the floor of one room, and in small ante-room toward the front of the house, all on the second floor, fires were burning. In addition, a small splinter of charred lightwood was also discovered in the center of one room, and in one of the closets broken bot tlc lying in the midst of the fire. The clothes which were in the closets were all Burned.
 Considering the circumstances, Chief Browder states that he cannot doubt that the fire was of incendiary origin. As to any reason for the act no ex- planation is offered. and the identity l. 1f A A~R Zoe lw atar ks~< cept for the clothes burned no damage resulted from the supposed criminal attempt. The fires were all extin- guished by the use of chemical engines.
 Mrs. Beauchamp when asked as to the origin of the fire said: T have during the past day or so been engaged in spring cleaning of the entire house Yesterday morning. after sivr ing the servants composition of oil and turpentine to be used on the second floor of the house in the bed rooms. I departed to attend to some shopping down town"
 1T learned of the fire through a tele- phone message sent me at one of the stores which visited immediately hurried home to find that the fire de- pertinent had about extiaguished the blaze"
 On being asked about the opinion of the Fire Chief that the fire was of in- cendiary origin. Mrs. Beauchamp said:
 Il know nothing of that. I cannot account for the blaze except through the carelessness of the servants left in charge of the work of cleaning the house. About the fire being in the closets of the room can find no solu- tion. There is always kindlinE in these rooms that fires may be started in the various upstairs rooms at any time witn as little inconvenience as pos stble. How this kindling came to be fgnited cannot imagine"

REGULARS FOR TAFT
TENNESSEE REPURs ALSO SELECT
 DELEGATES TO CHICAGO.
The Proceedings Lacked the Disorder Which Marked she Convention of Wedmssday--sH. Clay Evans
 For Vtce-Presidemt.

Nashville. Tenn. March 2s-Desig- mating themselves as the regular state convention. number of Republicans assembled at the Capitol today and instructed for William H. Taft for President. indorsed H. Clay Evans for vice-President and named Congress man Nathan W. Hale for National Committeeman. T. w. Wade of Smith, vile was nominated for Supreme Judge and the following delegates at large to the National Convention were select ed:
 E. W. Essary of Henderson county: R. A. Haggard. of Wayne County; w. H Buttrum. Scott County and Newell Sanders. Hamilton County.
 Electors for the state at large are: g. R. Sells of Washington County and J. W. Fowikes of Humphreys County.
 The copventf0n was called to order by Newell Sanders, chairman of the State Executive Committes, and H. Clay Evans was chairman of the per- manent organization. The proceed ings lacked the disorder which mark ed the convention of yesterday, which latter was taken charge of by the Brownlow -oliver-Aust.n element after stirring times. Speakers grew fervid, however. in condemnation of the hap penings of the first gathering,
 The resolutions adopted today also endorse the administration of Presi- dent Roosevelt, As to the tariff. they say:
 we favor the policy of tariff for protection to Arnerica's rapidly devel- oping resources; we believe in a re- vision of the schedules, and that such revision should be done by the friends cf protection. a Republican Congress. having in view always the protection Of the producers of our land, the la borer and the farmer"
 Some confusion exists In regard tc the action of the Brownlow conyen- ton of yesterday in the matter of in- structions. While excitement ran high w. L. Davis of Claiborne waved ( bundle of papers above his head, an nouncing that they were the resoIu- tions and moving their adoption. The motion carried without the reading oi the papers The resolutions as made public later instruct for W. H. Taft for President. Also during these same proceedings of yesterday a motion was carried that the delegation to the Ma tlonal Convention go uninstructed. The situation has not been explained and there are claims both ways.

MINE WORKERS or TEXAS.
They Are Making Efforts to Adjust
 Wage Dispute.

OaNW0A%e
 Forth Worth, Texas, March 26-Finai efforts to adjust the wage dispute be- tween the mine workers and the mine owners of the twenty first district embracing the States of Texas. Okla homa and Arkansas, are being made by the executive committee of the mine workers now in session here.
 They will submit the result of their ltbors to a convention of mine owners which will meet here 200 strong to- morrow.
 The mine owners have announced they will close down their mines April i. and to avert this. strenuous move. efforts are to be made to reach an agreement which the mine workers hope to do without sacrificing their material demands.
 President P R Stewart said that the decision to demand a raise in the wage scale is thoroughly fixed. The miners will also demand a simplification of the wage scale. but no shorter hours as a union day will be demanded.
 President Stewart declares that the possibility of a district strike is so re- mote that 1t has not even been con sidered during the conference. If the demands are not met or a compromise effected a general strike will undoubt- edly be called regardless of a shut down of the mines.

 Chased Among Rich.
 He is classed among the rich. but he win not rank high up in the mill- ionaire class in the upper branch of Congress. He made his money in luIn- Der chiefly. and has also been heavily intereSted in banking and other cor poratjons in the cities of Baltimore and Philadelphia. But he has always resided fin the little town of Snow Hiil in Worcester county, down ton the Eastern shore of Maryland. MT. Smith became prominent in Maryland politics whie member of the sstatN Senate.
 Nearly twenty years ago when Un- td States Senator Ephraim K. Wilson died many people thought that Colonel Smith, as f1e was knowa. would receive the appointment for the unexptred term. But at that time Senator Cor man who ruled things did not see ht to take a hand in the matter.
 The late E. E. Jackson was Govern- or. and he was anxious to go to go to the Senate himself. Tn order to keep the track open for himself Gov ernor Jackson appointed quite a weak man in the person of ex-Representative Chas H. Gibson. It was generally thought that Gibson would hold only about ten months, but when the legis- iature met 1t did not suit German to have Jackson in the Senate and Gio- son was chosen. He died about a year after his term ended.
 Tn the Senate. Smith will not rank high as an orator for he does not make much pretension in that line. But he talks very well, and he will make what is called good business senator-will doubtless work hard and take a leading part in all that effects .hx ,.A,,.trtna nf sfha country

Kansas City, Mo. March 2s.-Thirty- five thousand members of the United Mine Workers of America, employed in Districts Nos. 14, 21 and 25. compris- ing Missouri. Kansas. Arkansas. Okla horna and Texas. it .s announced. will probably go on strike on April l.
 The announcement was made to- night. following a decision reached at a meeting of the Vice-Presidents held here today.
 The South western Intersatte Coal op- erators' Association declined to ar- range a date to negotiate for a new contract with the miners to take place of the one now ;n effect, and which expires on March S1. The operators claim that the miners have violated their contract in the Texas. Oklahoma and Arkansas district by striking without leaving their difference to board of arbitration.
 There is no trouble in the Missouri and Kansas districts.
