The % places taken from the
southern states are assigned to
states in the north and west, which

celve two additional delegates each.
Increase Since 1894.
The total of 1857 delegates de-
clded upon represents an increase OF
IS over the number seated at Chi
cago last June, 1894.
The basis on which the next con-
vention will be constituted under the
new plan follows:
-Four delegates at large from each
state; two additional delegates at
large for each representative at
large in congress from any state;
two delegates at large for each ter
ritory; two delegates at large from
each state casting a majority of its
electoral votes for the republican

provision that a state, if its laws
require, may elect the total number
OF delegates permitted under the
plan at large from the state and that
IT. case the state laws so require,
the total delegates at large shall be
the same as if they were elected by
districts.
Members of the national commit
tee were warned by Postmaster
General Hays, retiring chairman,
that a 100000 majority is large,
but it is not an alibi for the mis-
takes, negligence and extravaganza
CT mlsgovernment."
II have complete confidence in the
good faith and effective expectation
of this administration, both execu-
tive and legislative" he said. Every
official has caught the spirit of its
chief executive, whose words and
deeds are the constant fulfillment
of lofty ideals we call American
ism"

Relief Measures
Flooded Area
Are Systematized
Pueblo Citizens Undertake
Work of Cleaning Away
Dead and Debris to Pre-
vent Disease.

Pueblo, Colo, June 8.-A brigh
sunshine today played over flood
stricken Pueblo and made the NOR,
imperative the work of removing
dead bodies of animals and clearing
of debris as precautionary measure
against disease,
Already the stencil Of decayine
meat in the flooded area has given to
that section the odor OF packing
house or glue factory.
All night gasoline pumps worked
on flooded cellars throughout the
business section, pouring thousand;
of gallons of water into the streets
and again converting them into quag-
mires of mud. The correspondent
rode through all the district shortly
before midnight with the Colorado
rangers. More streets were passable
to automobiles than at any other
time.
The Main street viaduct, which
was closed yesterday when its condi-
ton became menacing, was opened
to traffic, after one side of the con-
crete structure, which had sagged
down toward the railroad yards
threatening to pull the entire viaduct
with it, had been removed by work
men. The body of a girl, about 16
years old, was found by rangers
shortly after midnight in the Foun-
tain river at the Fourth street bridge.
The BODY was not identified
Trucks to Carry Food.
A company of trucks left early
today to bring back food and sup
plies from Colorado Springs.

that refugees would be transported
from Pueblo free of charge upon
recommendation of the Red Cross.
Red Cross relief for the entire
Colorado disaster. was placed i'll the
hands of A. w. Jones of St. Louis,
by James L. Fieser, manager of the
southwestern division Of the organi-
cation. who is on the ground.
Work of recovering the dead has
been subordinated to the work of
cleaning up and restoring santa
ton. The search for bodies has
hardly yet begun. Great piles of
debris are in the downtown streets
ready to be carted away. 1t is ex-
pected that the clean up work will
reveal more definitely the loss of
life. which Red Cross estimates place
at 500.
A refugee camp was ready to re-
ceive the homeless today. More than
200 tents were set up yesterday and
in addition complete field hospital
was available for such refugees as
might require medical treatment. The
camp will contain 800 tents when
completed, each with a capacity OF
six single cots.
Colonel Hamrock estimates that
there are more than 1000 homeless
in the city. Many of them are
Mexicans and they are virtually
helpless, he said.
