OUT WITH A
"DEFE" TO OPPONENTS
His Friends Declare That He and Peter J. Ford Will
be New Castle COunfY's Delegates TO the
Denver ConVenfion---Scheme II
Defeat Ex-Congressman

it is proposed to have this state give
way TO Maryland so that the Mary
land senator viii name Judge Gray.
That Is a tentative plan OF some OF
Judge Gray's boomers. but whether II
will be carried out remains to be seen.
Four years. ago Peter j. Ford was
slated as ono of the New Castle county
delegates TO ST. Louis and Willard
Salisbury was the other. but Mr.. Ford
gave way to Mr.. Handy so that tho
latter could be a member of the dele
cation and nominate Judge Gray The
Ford Handy combination to control
the New Castle county delegates Is
expected TO develop a contest In which
Mr. Ford is to carry the Wilmington
end OF Il and Mr. Handy is 20 look
after the rural New Castle county
end But the opponents Of this scheme
declare the delegates viii be chosen by
a caucus OF the New Castle county
delegates to Dover and as rural New
Castle has fifty delegates and VIII
mington oniy fifteen. the rural Deno-
Gratis will be at "a big advantage.
Mr.. Salmon's strength IN the rural dis
tricts is expected 10 overcome tho
delegates that Mr.. Ford may control
IN the city.
Involved In the contest Is a fight for
membership OF the democratic ma
tioaal committee IL is said that Mr..
Handy would not object TO being
chosen member Of the national COM
mittee borme rSenator Senney also
desires Il. is said TO retain member
ship in the national committee and
with both Handy and kenney in tie
delegation 10 Denver the old feud be-
tween TIE two would be revived
Word from Kent county Is TO the
effect that Kenney Will probably na
one OF the delegates from that county
and that the other delegate viii be-
either James H. Hughes or James T..
Wolcott. That Is unless William Sauls-
burys friends show strength. For a
time II was believed that Mr.. Sauls-
bury was certain TO be one OF the dele
gates. but late reports say that the
Bryan opposition to instructing tho
delegates for Judge Gray has subsidized.
Ex- Congressman Houston Active.
The local leaders have no word from
Sussex about who the probable dole
gates will be. The sudden activity
of Former Congressman Henry a.
Houston. who visited Washington re-
4 Gently In company with Josiah Mar
vel, has caused a report that Mr..
Houston would probably be one Of the
delegates Former Governor Tunnel
and John i. Causey are also talked OF
and John =. Holland Of Milford may
again be in the race. Mr. Holland was
one OF the delegates 10 the ST. Louis
J convention.

$I25,OOO FOR
P.O. ADDITION
Senator DUPONT Has Intro
duCed Bill Providing for
This Appropriation
ROOM IS NEEDED
AT POSTOFFICE

United States Senator Henry A. DUPONT
has introduced in the Senate at WASH
ington, bill appropriating Si25,OOO for the
purchase Of land adjoining the present
postofhce at Ninth and shipley street
for the building which It is proposed to
erect to accommodate the business Of the
ofhca.
Sometime ago Senator DUPONT and
postoffce inspector from Washington,
with Postmaster Henry c. Conrad, exam
ined the present building and took IN at
glance how crowded the men were who
are employed there. The necessity for
more room was made apparent TO the
visitors and from that time some move
toward having the present building en-.
larged, has been expected to be made at
almost any time.
The need Of more room IN the present
postofhce is an absolute necessity. The
clerks and carriers are now so crowded
that it is with difficulty that they can
work. On special days such as holiday
seasons when the mail is unusually large,
the men have hardly room to turn around.
Senator DuPont's activity in bringing
about the desired improvements. is in
consequence. pleasing to the postofnce
employees.
There is a considerable space OF ground
in the rear Of the postofhce which is now
used as a driveway for the mail wagons.
This space will probably be utilized Tor
hte neV addition to the building. Should It
be decided TO retain rear driveway il
will be necessary TO purchase the adioln-
ing stable property. The appropriation
carried in the bill offered by Senator Du-
Pont provides for both the building OF
the addition to the Dostofioe and the pur-
chase Of this additional ground. II neces-
sary.
When the present postoffce was erected
a few years ago Il was thought at thai
time, that it would nn the needs Of the
city for years TO come, but ere ten years
have elapsed. the city has outgrown Il
Probably no town in the country hai
grown so rapidly in the last decade and a,
this rapid growth was not anticipated a
the time Of the building Of the postof
nee, no provisions were made for thl
big increase in the city's growth.

at Tyler affirmed the verdict of life
imprisonment. Tubb was convicted
of killing Constable Dave Pierce, who

when tried here, because of the proni-
nence of the parties involved, and be-
cause of the defense of insanity set

A GERMAN VIEW OF AMERICAN ARMY.

Berlin, Jan. 12-"The mobilization of the
United States army under present conditions
would obviously produce a very poor result,
saws Lieutenant Colonel LIE Juge. of the Ger
man army (retiredl. in pamphlet just issued
dealing with the land forces of the United
States, although the sorrowful spectacle of the
wear 1898 would not be reproduced"
The author has nothing except praise for the
officers, who, he says are keen, conscientious
and well educated. Among the men, however,
he finds great lack of discipline. AS to the gen
eral organization he records the prevalent opin
ion in professional circles in Europe that it lacks
cohesion. mo preparation for war is made dur
ing peace; organization of the units into
armies with their requisite staffs has been drawn
I'D, and no provision is made for supply" This
apathy is due, he considers to the general belief
Of the American public-in spite of the demands
OF far seeing military men and OF the press for
a mobilization scheme-that all that is neces-
sary on the outbreak of is to fill UP with
volunteers the ranks OF regiments kept a
weak peace footing, and then form them into
brigades, divisions and army corps. He con-
tnues: "A critical view of the conditions Of this
army, Notwithstanding its good equipment and
armament, does not make the outlook hopeful in
case of hostities with great military power"
AS TO the national guard, he says that COM
