"0,m coiuiiiittee, recently received
a letter from some Sandwich islanders
who said they were anxious to know if
the convention would seat a Hawaiian
delegation should one come to Kansas
City July 4. Senator Jones replied that
the convention itself would have to pass
on that question, but it is said he ad
vised the Sandwich Islanders to send
along their delegation, and it might be
seated.
Democratic managers say that there is
some pretty politics in the idea of giving
seats in the convention to a I'orto Rican
delegation. They believe it will be a good
play, iu view of the fact that the demo
arntie platform will contain au aiili-im
perialistic plank. By seating a delega
tion from I'orto Rico and giving it six
votes, tlie democrats in convention would
demonstrate in a practical their conten
tion that Porto Rico is part of tho United
States and is a territory co-equal iu all
things political with the IndiauTerritory,

which are unorganized territories.

London, Mali 15. The Express of to
day advocates die ostracism of Richard
Croker in England in revenge for Tam
many's attitude en the Boer war. It says:
"It has not escaped notice in thiB coun
try that an American welcome to the
Boer delegates has been inspired and en
couraged by Tammany Hall, which is
controlled by the notorious boss, Dick
Croker. The records of J tun many are
already black enough without the ad
dition of this new infamy. But what
makes the action of Tammany peculiarly
infamous now is the fact that Croker
claiujB the hospitality of an English
domicile, poses aB an English gentleman
and runs race horses on the English turf,
yet is aiding and encouraging the worst
of England's enemies.
"Croker's position is practically on all
fours with that of tho Duke of Orleans.
The Duke has slready paid the penalty
of having fallen under the ban of social
ostracism. If Crokor finds that the
bracing air of the United States does not
invariably suit hiB constitution, he should
secure the calm seclusion of an Italian
villa within reach of tho Duke of Orleans,
whose company he will probably find
congenial."
