commander OF the home forces,
reports that the general post Of
fice in Dublin, which has been the
principal stronghold OF the Sim
Feiners. has been burned down.
Connolly. one of the leaders OF
the rebels, is reported to have
been killed.
Many OF the rebels have been
taken prisoner, and the revolt in
Dublin is on the verge OF collapse.
In the rest of ireland the situa-
tion generally is satisfactory.

The viceroy was full OF praise
for the loyalty displayed by the
great majority of the Irish people,
and considered the momentarv
success gained and the damage
done by the rebels as small when
viewed in connection with the
surprise of the outbreak and the
evident preparations made for it.

Roosevelt Should Swing

In the perplexing state of republica n
presidential politics at the time a few
definite propositions seem to be taking
form. One is. in the opinion of politi-
clans at the Capitol. that Col. Roosevelt
has been "stopped''-that is to say.
that his nomination does not seem to be
likely.
Another is that Col Roosevelt will
have a great deal to say in the selec-
ton of the candidate. if he does not in
effect dictate ii. Another is that a
struggle between the east and the west
for the presidential nomination seems
possible.
This convention will be notable in the
attendance of delegates without in
structions. Not in a great many years

free from 'hand-p picked" delegates, men

Claims of Burton Men.

This Burton enthusiast claimed that
Mr. Burton has more delegates in sight
at this time than any other candidate.
The managers of the campaign of
Senate: Weeks of Massa achusetts, say
they expect their candidate to receive
first ballot votes from every state in
the Union, with the exception of those
states which have formally instructed
their delegates for other candidates.
This is a record which. they claim. will
not be eaualed by any other candidate
before the convention, and is expected
TO have a decided effect in demonstrate :
ing the fact that Senator Weeks has a
nationwide following.
In such states as Missouri Oklahoma
and Alabama, the vote for Senator
Weeks is expected by them to average
more than one-half of the entire dele
cation. and in other states. such as
Arkansas, Nevada and Arizona, the
Ma ssa chusetts man is assured of the
support of one or more delegates on
the first ballot. Senator Weeks follow
ers fee, confident that he will lead on
the first ballot, and this lead is expect
ed to be so substantial as to assure him
a permanent strength in the conven-
tion. with excellent chances of his benig
nominated on the third or fourth bal
lot.

Cummins Not Worrying.

Senator Cummins. however, is not
worrying himself over this suggestion
at all. In point of fact, Senator Cum
Minis closest friends know that he is as
nearly Indifferent to the nomination as
any one reasonably could be toward
such high honor. His friends know
that he entered the contest as in duty
bound. He could not, they say, stand
idly by and see the radical wing of the
party come into the progressive states
and grab off delegates in the primaries,
so he stood in the primaries for the pro-
lection of the progressives. And he has
bagged very handsome number of
delegates a s q result.
One who is on the inside of the Bur-
ton boom said yesterday that Mr.. Bur-
ton will have some surprises for the
convention on the first roll call. With
out any blare of trumpets. it is said. a
most effective campaign is being made
for Mr. Burton, little Of which is visi-
Bile above the surface.

paign are in an uptown office building

of work is said to be going on. Mr.

How Westerners Figure.

The way the westerners figure out
the possibility OF their section having
a fighting chance is this: They say that
when Roosevelt finds himself blocked,
with no chance for the nomina a ton, he
will be eager to play a leading part in
the selection of a candidate.
VIII he turn to Hughes? Some Of the
political wise men at the Capitol raise
their eyebrows questioningly at this,
while others say he will have to take
Hughes and will lead the procession to
him. 1T is known that the colonel is
not what might be called devoted to
Mr.. Hughes. but it IS declared to be
certain that he would support Mr..
Hughes when nominated. There is a
widespread suspicion, however. that the
colonel would be glad to find some one
equally as good" as Mr.. Hughes
If, then, ne does not swing his nfiu-
ence to Mr.. Hughes. the westerners ar
que, will he not pick UP a western man
as representing progressive ideals?
Eastern republicans do not agree with
the idea that there is much Likelihood
of western man being chosen, unless
Ohio, Indiana and Illinois are classed
as western states. They think the busi-
ness interests of the country will de-
mand the choosing of an eastern man
or one from the middle states.

Situation Works Both Ways.

This fact, it is said. will make for
independence of action on one hand
and of dependence of the delegates for
guidance on the other. The politics

ton of the membership will 30 to Chi
cago intent mainly upon the naming OF
the best man to win at the polls They
will naturally lean upon the elder
statesmen of the party for sugges

Western republicans say that at

ership reflects 'old guard" tendencies,
but they doubt if the old guard will
have the temerity to exert it's full power
with Roosevelt on the lookout and a
big group of progressive delegates
equally as watchful. The west, it is
said. believes that in this situation it
has .'look-in.'
At any rate. Sherman of Illinois and
Cummins of Iowa are to keep their
lamps trimmed and burning and in case
of a tie-up among the eastern candi-
dates, be ready to make q try for it.
Senator Cummins' friends claim that
he has more delegates. instructed and

Senator Sherman has Illinois solidly,
but has not invaded the field of any
other favorite son.

A great deal of talk is being in dulged m these days fayor.ng the adoption of the Swiss military framing system in the United States, claiming it to be m ore sff;. tent than that of ar. other system of any European nation. Many people who think thaE this situation has been sucesss- fully met in other places urge the adoption of the system In use i'll Switzeralnd or that in use in Aus tralia. There is, unfortunately very little accurate knowledge among many who discuss this matter concernig the details and what is involved in the adoption thereof.
 Very briefly, the two systems are as follows:
 Every male Swiss is liable to military service from the age oi 20 until the age of 50, and officers until the age of 55. Between the ages of 10 and I6 the Swiss boy receives courses of gymnas tics or calisthenics in the public schools, and after the last named age the law requires him to go on with his gymnastics and to make a beginning at musketry. Rifle shooting is national sport, and practically every boy belongs to rife clubs that are under national auspices. The first line, called the elite, consists of those from 20 to g, inclusive; the second, or ''landwehr," of those from B to to A, inclusive the third consists of all others from I7 to 50 years of age. When recruit reports he is fitted with his uniform and equipment and given rifle, all of which must be taken care oi by him and remain in his custo' dy until the end of his military service. Recruits receive instruc tion from Go to 90 days, depend ing upon their arm of the ser vice. For the elite a repetition course of from 7 to I4 days is held every year. Sergeants and higher non commissioned officers serve ten repetition courses. In the 'landwehr" repetition course ot II days takes place every four

years TOT all the different arms. All work is in the field and on the target range. Universal service and the beginning of the work in the public schools are the most prominent elements of the Swiss system.
