OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington, Nov. 18. The place for holding
the next Republican National convention
will be selected at a meeting of the com
mittee to be held in this city, at the Ar
lington Hotel, Saturday, December 12.
The committee will meet the day preced
ing. Chairman Hanna today sent out the
proper notification to members in tho
various states. On Friday organization
will bo e'ffected and committees appoint
ed to hear the claims of the various cities
for the convention. Senator Hanna will
entertain the members of the committee
at a dinner at the Arlington on Saturday
night, December 12.
Five cities arc prominently mentioned
as contestants for the convention Chi
cago, St Louis, Pittsburg, New York and
Baltimore. They are favored in the order
named. In past years Chicago has dem
onstrated its ability to handle National
conventions in a way that cannot be im
proved upon, and for this reason is more
generally favored than any other city,
though St. Louis, after tho last conven
tion, is a close second in popularity.
Pittsburg and New York, while anxious
for the convention and ready to make a
great bid for the honor, are too far East
and otherwise unpopular. The same is
partly true of Baltimore, but this city,
on account of Gorman's candidacy for the
nomination, is more anxious for the Dem
ocratic than the Republican convention,
though it would welcome both. i
Paj ne, who Is still a great factor in in
ner Republican circles, and will have
much to say in tho choice of a 'conven
tion cits--, is strongly inclined toward Chi
cago, and from the present outlook this
city will bo chosen.
The call for the meeting, which is signed
by Chairman Hanna and Secretary Perry
S. Heath, follows:
"The members of the Republican Na
tional Committee are hereby called to
meet at the Arlington Hotel, in the City
of "Washington, D. C, at 12 o'clock noon
Friday, December 1L It is expected that
the session will continue Saturday, De
cember 12 the business before the 'com
mittee being to decide the. time and place
of holding tho next Republican National
Convention and to transact such other
business as may properly come before the
meeting."
HANNA URGED TO STAY.
W. Murray Crane Mentioned for Sec
ond Place on the Committee.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 13-Strong efforts
ore being made fey the members of the
Republican National Committee to induce
Senator Hanna, tho present chairman of
tho committee, to retain active connec
tion with tho committee during tho next
campaign. The call for a meeting of the
committee today for December 11 and
J2 renewed the efforts in this direction.
So far the Senator has been able to
"urge as a reason -he should decline tho
chairmanship the advice of his physician
that ho not engage in strenuous work.
He no longer says the Ohio campaign
will demand the lion's share of his
time, as ho has absolute assurance of
his return to the Senate by the Legisla
ture, which Is so strongly Republican
that tho minority has hardly to be taken
into consideration.
Administration officials, Representative
Dick and some of the close friends of
Mr. Hanna, who are Interested in seeing
him retain his hold on the national com
mittee, aro voicing the wishes of the
President and trying to effect an arrange
ment which will relieve Mr. Hanna from
the numerous duties of the campaign,
but will at the same time secure for tho
Republican cause all the advantages of
his association with the committee and
the right to call upon him for advice
from his rich store of experience.
Mr. Hanna has answered these sug
gestions by saying he Is hardly ablo
to go Into a fight half way, and he
can hardly trust himself to be associated
w.th a light in which he is expected
ta act only a quiet part j
One of the suggestions made is that
Mr. Hanna again accept the chalrman
sh'p of the committee, and the vice
chairman be N. Murray Crane, ex-Governor
of Massachusetts and a close friend
cf th President Governor Crane could
handle the Eastern situation, with which
he Is familiar. It Is thought that Gover
nor Crane could be quite as successful
aj Mr. Hanna In arousing Eastern in
terest in the Republican cause. He is a
man of wide acquaintance among the
richest and most iniluentlal Eastern men.
Ho also enjoys the confidence or tho
laboring element as he has been a largo
employer of labor for many years, and
has always maintained the best possible
relations with them.
"wrhUe thre Is no necessity for arrang
ing the matter -at that time, there is a
strong belief that the Republican leaders
want a general understanding reached
before the December meeting disbands,
and theselections are made In the vari
ous states of members of the next na
tional committee. The sole business to
come before the December committee
meeting is the selection of the time and
placo for the National Convention, but
parts' leaders believe it will be better
to leave some sort of an understanding
as to Mr. Hanna's plans.
Election Frauds to Be Probed.,
HONOLULU, Nov. 13. Judge George D.
Gear, of the Circuit Court at the re
quest of the Homo Rule party, has In
structed the territorial Grand Jury to
hold an investigation into the reports of
election frauds which It is alleged took
tho form of repeating, voting in the
names of dead or absentee persons and
perjury. Fifty witnesses will bo called,
among them being the election officers and
the leaders of the political parties.
MINING TIE-UP IS BROKEN.
Northern Colorado Operators Grant
an Eight-Hour Day Conditionally.
LOUISVILLE. Colo., Nov. 13. As a re
sult of the concession of an eight-hour day
by the operators, all of the striking min
ers in the Northern coal fields will re
turn to work Monday morning. This was
practically determined upon at a confer
ence here this afternoon between the ope
rators and a committee representing all
of the unions In the district
The operators agreed to grant an eight
hour day pending the settlement of the
strike In the Soutnern coal fields, on the
condition that if that strike terminated
without granting an eight-hour day by
the Southern operators, tho men should
be put back to work on a nine-hour
basis la the Northern fields. The com
mittee of the men received this proposi
tion with favor, and will submit it for a
referendum vote tomorrow, when It Is
believed It will be accepted by the unions,
and the miners will return to work Mon
day. This eight-hour concession is the result
of several conferences held in Denver by
the operators of the Northern Coal &
Coke Company, and John F. Ream, of
Colorado, a member of the National
Council of the United Mineworkers of
America, and National Organizer Chris
Evans, of Ohio, representing President
John Mitchell. Mr. Ream said the men
would agree to a 10 per cent reduction of
wages if given the eight-hour day.
Utahns Strike in Sympathy.
SALT LAKE, Nov. 13. A special to the
Tribune from Helper, Utah, says: At a
meeting of about 350 miners employed by
tho Utah Fuel Company, at the Sunny
sldo mines last night, a vote was taken
which resulted in a declaration to go on
a 6trike immediately in sympathy with
the Colorado miners. The men who at
tended the meeting represent about one
third of the number employed at tho Sun
nyslde mines.
The company has posted notices assur
ing its employes who remain loyal every
possible protection, and has employed a
number of guards to protect its property
from any possible depredation of the strikers.

time since tho strike of the ccal miners
In this district was declared, on Monday,
J. T. Kebler, general manager of the Colo
rado Fuel & Iron Company, is said to "have
made advances to effect a settlement
Today, it is authoritatively stated he re
quested tho striking miners- to appoint a
committee of five men to confer with him
in his office in Trinidad. This proposition
was rejected by the men, who say the
United Mineworkers of America must be
recognized before any settlement can be
made.

House Committee Reports on
Reciprocity Treaty,
WILL BE CALLED UP MONDAY
LIvernash, of California, Wants to
Know Rights of President in
Panama Matter, but Ad
journment Is Taken.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 13. When tho

considered until 4 P. II. Thursday, when
a vote will be taken.. Immediately after
tho reading of the journal, LIvernash.

sonal privilege. Reading from manu
script he began by saying:
"Indications are that In the Panama
Colombia matter the President la Invad
ing a Constitutional prerogative of the
Congress., and it seems of high import
ance to the dignity and authority of this
House that doubt be dispelled forthwith."
Payne rose to a point of order, and In
sisted that the question of privilege be
.stated first. The speaker suggested than
a resolution would inform the House as
to what question the speaker desired to
present. He finally sustained the point
of order, cries of "regular order" belns
heard on the Republican side. On motion
of Payne, the House adjourned.

effective the Cuban reciprocity treaty, by
u vote of 14 to 2. Metcalf (Cal.) was pres
ent bUt did not vote, and Robertson (Dem.,
La.) and Cooper (Dem., Tex.) voted
against the bill.
Two amendments were offered In com
mittee, but both were rejected by tho
Republican vote. One extended the pro
visions of the treaty to all other coun-
tries. The other abolished the differential
duty on refined sugar. The report says:
"The enactment of the bill Into law
is necessary to give effect to the con
vention providing for reciprocal trade
between this country, and Cuba. This
results not merely because the con
vention itself provides that it 'shall
not take effect until the same shall
have been approved by the Congress,' but
because the Constitution gives no power
to the President and the Senate to make
a convention or treaty changing the rates
of revenue. That power is now expressly
lodged in the Congress. It is not Intended
here to cite authorities or advance reasons
on this proposition. The records of Congress-
abound with unref uted arguments on
the affirmative In this connection, and the
practice of Congress has been uniformly
in the same direction.
"The President has deemed, the subject
of sufficient importance to convene an ex
tra session of Congress In order that the
convention may become effective before
the commencement of th,e harvest of the
new sugar crop in December.
"This legislation will not result In harm
to any American industry. The product
of this country, like the articles embraced
In this convention now imported from Cu
ba, receive the very highest protection of
any in the same schedule. The duty on
sugar was placed above the protective
point for the purpose of revenue. The bill
provides for a reduction in the Interests
of reciprocal trade agreement, which It
authorized the President to make. The
duty on tobacco has for years been much
higher than any necessity required on
account of the competition of Cuban to
bacco. The reduction in this bill leaves It
amply protected."
Tho report closes with an argument set
ting forth the advantages to both this
country and Cuba, which will-result from
a reciprocal arrangement provided in the
legislation.
