failed today in their efforts to block a
favorable report by the senate committee
on the nomination of Matthew B. Mac
farlane of Tampa, to be collector of GUS
tons for the Florida ports, succeeding
John f. c.. Griggs of Tampa.
Two weeks ago. a few days after Mac

white" republican organization in Flor
Kelly Of Tampa. DR.. w. P. Waldo, for
merly OF Tampa, and former Senator
Marion Butler of North Carolina, ap-
peared before the senate commerce COM
mittee and urged that Macfarlane's NOM
ination be rejected because he is unfit
to hold the position. and because the
BLACK and tan" element in Florida should
be eliminated.
Macfarlane belongs to the Gerow- Bean
Macfarlane, or regular organization, in
Florida, which gained the seats at the
Chicago republican convention and has
been given the patronage in Florida.
At their last hearing the Van Duzer-
Kelly -Maynes- Butler faction denounced
Macfarlane most yiciously and asserted
they would present to the committee at

Tampa postoffice, and former Senator
Butler, who is out of joint with the
North Carolina republican machine. were
given only few minutes by the COM
mittee, which then unanimously reported
the nomination favorable to the senate.

few days.

ments for Program to be
Named Today.
GOVERNOR HARDEE WILL
BE PRINCIPAL SPEAKER
Army and Navy Will Also Be
Invited to Participate in
the Celebration.

That the Tooth anniversary of the
cession of Florida by Spain shall not
go unheralded, committee headed by
DR.. Frank G. Renshaw met at the city
hall last night to prepare for an ap-
propriate celebration OF the occasion.
Tentative plans for the observance
were discussed and DR.. Renshaw is 10
meet with Mayor Sanders this morn
ing to name committees for the va
rious sections Of the program.
Hon. John B. Jones. who has done
more than any other one man to bring
before the people Of Pensacola ana
Florida the historical incidents Of the
Spanish cession, was present at last
nights meeting by special invitation
and he was asked to join with Dr.
Renshaw in preparing the committee
lists and the program
only one definite phase of, the pzo-
gram was settled last night ana that
was in regard to the historical aud
patriotic speaking which it was deeid-
ed viii be held in Ferdinand VII plaza
where the actual exchange of flags
took place. Governor Cary A. Hardee

al who attend.
While it is realized that the time

from being ver-stimulated. An in
tensive publicity campaign is to be
carried on from now until the cele-
bration is held.
In order to make the celebration a
success the army and navy viii be
invited to participate, because this is
a national instead of a local affair.
All civic organizations in Pensacola
are also to be invited and the city
government is to be asked to adopt a
resolution declaring and setting aside
the day to be a holiday. The COM
missioners have already signified their
intention to do so and are merely watt
ing for the resolution to be presented
in proper form by the committee.
The date of the celebration viii be
as close to July II as possible because
that is the date on which the actual
exchange Of flags took place. When
the celebration is held every feature
Of the original transfer will be ex-
planned and It is believed by those
having the affair in hand that the pc-
cason viii be one Of the most happy
in the history OF the city.
