Washington, May 24.-Republican
leaders today laid preliminary plans
for the congressional campaign next
year and the national battle two years
later to regain control of congress and
possession of the White House.
The republican national committee
will meet sixty days after the ad-
journment of the extra session of con-
gress. An extraordinary republican ma
tionaI convention is expected not later
than one year hence. These agencies
viii dispose of changes in basis of
representation in national conventions
and reform methods Of party proceed

co operation with congressional cam
paign committee and national commit
tee.
The meeting today was absolutely
harmonious. The progressive sugges-
tion for a national convention receiv-
ed practically unanimous approval,
but it was decided to submit this
question to the national committee.
An agreement is expected there A
committee was selected to consider
any contests before the national COM
mittee and the primary system of
choosing delegates to the national con-

Advfces have been received by J. W

the L. & n. railroad, that the com
pany has arranged to play up Pensa-
cola very strongly as a seaside resort
and arrangements have been concluded
to run first class excursion train here
an alluring rate of $3.50 from Bir-
mingham and Admission, Ala, having
been allowed.
The first excursion will be operated
on June 3, to arrive here on that date.
This will be on Thursday, and as the
tickets are good for ten days, it will
give hundreds of Alabamians an op-
portunity to enjoy the bathing and
fishing to be had for the seeking at
the Deep Water City.

Mr.. Lurton, speaking to a Journal
yesterday, "nade up of
first class Pullman cars and neces-
sary day coaches. The tickets will be
good for ten days. but excursionists
may return at any time before the ex-
piration of their ticket limitation"
1t is understood that the proposed
excursion is but a. venture to see how
the people of the interior will patron
ize such an outing, but passenger Off
cials in the local Offices would not
venture an opinion as to whether or
would likely be followed by others
during the summer months. 1t was
stated, however, that seashore excur-
sions operated to gulf ports touched
by the L. & n. are suficiehtiy renun
srative to warrant their continuance
each week during the summer months.

why excursions from north and CEN

a suggestion that Pensacola people
write friends throughout Alabama and

put of place. In the past people of re-
1nement usually refrained from pat

cause of the extremely poor accommo-

1urton's advices are that no one will
have room to complain of the equip
nent to be made use of June 3.
