During the recent visit of govtr
nors to Washington an effort was
made to get some of the republican
party leaders together for re-
organization of the party hu the
movement seems to have failed
This is hardly an opportune time
for such movement. No one
can tell at this time what the lead
ing issues OF the next campaign
will be, and until those issues are
known, and the attitude of some Of
the would be leaders on those
issues is known, it is useless to try
to perfect any organization.

WASHINGTON. Nov. r. A package more deadly than dynamite was delivered recently to the United States hygienic laboratory by q special messenger who mopped his worried brow with evident relief when he got receipt for it.
 The package contained 50.000 ticks infected with the deadly Rocky Mountain spotted fever, enough to wipe out the population of the na- tion's capital, should they be lib erated from the glass tubes which contain them.
 The fever carriers were part of those with which the late Surgeon T. B. McClintic was experimenting when he contracted the dread dis ease. The experiments will be con tinued in Washington by Dr. John F. Anderson director of the hy- sienic laboratory

 Officials of the postoffice depart ment were of the opinion that should Mrs Cleveland desire to en- joy the franking privilege after her marriage to Professor Preston no objection would be made by the government They were doubtful what construction should be placed on the act which granted her the privilege

FIRST CHINESE MARRIAGE UNDER
 AMERICAN LAWS
ASIIINtiTO\.

WASHINGTON - All Chinatown was agog recently with interest aroused for the first Christian mar. riage which has ever taken place between Chinese couple in the National capital, which occurred when Miss Gnu How. It years of age. the daughter of Gnu Tai Foap a wealthy merchant of Pell street. in New Works Chinatown. was mar rie6 to Lee Vow. a years of age the proprietor of a Chinese restau- rant on Pennsylvania avenue north west
 Not only Was the marriage authos~ ized by the first marriage license oyer issued 10 q Chinese couple in Washington. and the first marriage under the American law N hch has really met with the approval of the other Chinese of the United States. but the nuptials marked the compile ton of one of the most romantic courtshps ever recorded
 Little Miss Gnu How stands scarcely more than , feet in her small stocking feet Her beauty became so famous throughout the various Chinatowns in San Francis co. Chicago and New York that her F.,, l, josshouse in America Lee Vow is known here as merchant prince for not only Is his restaurant profit able but he inherited some money from his father who died in the United States.
 When he heard of the great bea,t- ty of little Miss Gnu. he wrote to Gnu Tai Foap. her father. proposing marriage. and under the ancient Chinese custom. asking the price demanded Her father who has been 2 Christian for some time. replied that his daughter was not for sale. but must be wed 10 the man of her choice. and he added, by way of incentive. that she had many from whom te pick. This aroused Lee Vow. who packed his grip and took the next train for New York
 One look at the slight graceful beauty of the little Miss Gnu cap tivated him. and before he left NeH York. after courtship of ten days he left also a little diamond en- gagement ring.
 Lee Vow returned here and com pleted arrangements for the reae:r tion of his bride. He is faith full member of the con@regation of the Metropolitan NJ E. church Doubtful of his countrymen's atti tude if he married under the American laws. he consulted with his fellow Chinamen. and found that the Chinamen here feel thai with the establishment of a repub lie in China. an American marriage is good form.
