Fastnet Rock, of the southwest
coast of ireland, is now marked by a
powerful light in a new stone light
house recently completed. 1t takes
the place of a cast-iron tower sta
toned on the summit of the rock,
rising 173 feet above mean low
water. The storms beat upon the
rock with such fury that the old
tower was considered as unsafe. On
one occasion cup OF coffee standing
on a table in the top room was
knocked to the floor when heavy
wave submerged the tower. The new
lighthouse rests on the rock near the
water level. For the first forty-eight
feet it is a solid mass Of granite built
ND OF heavy stones dovetailed to-
gether. The upper courses are also
held together by tongue and groove,
So that it is impossible for the waves
to disIodge any stone. The highest
block of granite used weighs nearly
two tons. This beacon Of safety for
the mariners lies nearly five miles
from land, and is kept by four men,
who are relieved every two weeks.
So lonely is the location that a
plumber who was sent out to put the
piping in the new tower begged pitt
eously to be taken back to land after
he had worked one day, and he had to

chosen, the makeup of the Big Four" as these
delegates are sometimes known is being discussed
with much interest The delay in announcing the

message which Governor Fort sent to the Legis-

mary laws of the state. While 1t is not probable
that any changes will be made this year, many of
would be unwise to issue call for the election of
delegates to the national convention at the present
time. Now that the method by which all the dele

action is taken by the Legislature before
announcing the convention date

Governor Fort has expressed desire to go a

that the Republicans of the state will adhere to
custom and choose the Governor one of New

MURPHY ON THE FENCE.
Belie0es Delegation Should Go Un-
instructed to DenUer COnUention.

Charles F. Murphy, who has just returned from
several weeks of reflection with "Fingey' Conners,
the Democratic state chairman at Palm Beach,
Florida, expressed himself In substance last night
being the fence far Bryan was con-
cerned. Privately It is understood he is not in
favor of Bryan at this time, but he does not be-
Heve in coming out in open hostility to him. inso-
much it may be necessary to accept Bryan when
the time for the national convention comes For
this reason Mr. Murphy is in favor of unin-
structed delegation
Mr.. Murphy was asked last night what he
thought OF the statement of Mr. Bryan several
days ago the effect that where there was unnis-
taxable sentiment for him the delegates 10 the
Denver convention should be instructed for him.
so far as L am personally concerned said Mr.
Murphy, Il am going to advise against the in
struction of the New York State delegation. Tha
convention will not be held until July and sent-
ment may change a great deal between now and
that time.
MY position is that the Democratic party ought
to wait until the delegates assemble. they can
take advantage Of the conditions that will prevail
In July.
The sentiment hasn't developed. and the coun-
try is IL uncertain condition just The
duty Of the Democrats is to take plenty OF time
in making choice. that when they get to
Denver they do the best thing for the coun-
try, and after that for the party.
Il opposed instructions four years ago, and my
position is precisely the same 1 think the
Democratic party has a splendid chance of sue
in eecting its candidate the Presidency this
fall and for this reason ii ought to be deiberats
in selecting its candidate A great many names OF
able and prominent Democrats have been sug-
gested for the nomination, and wise course for
the party to pursue would be for the delegates to
get together and pick che who, in July,
would be the strongest candidate L don't think
the party ought to be foreclosed in February"
Who some of the candidates to whom you
just referred?' Mr.. Murphy asked.
There plenty of them," the reply ~
do not care to discuss candidates now
Mr.. Murphy said he did not know whether the
meeting of the state committee to set date
state convention would be before the primaries on
March 81 not. AT the primaries delegates
chosen the Assembly district conventions, which
elect delegates to the state convention, which In
tnrn selects delegates to the national convention.

convention were uninstructed but, through the eff
forts of Senator McCarren and others the state
