Th convention transacted very llttl bualnea today, and after th appoint ment of varlou committee, adjourned until tomorrow. So far there ha not been much talk of a platform, but It I believed that allver will receive some In dorsement. The woman suffrage and antl-fundlnc bill resolutions will be of fered.

The Populist state central committee met today to take ac tion on the matter of withdrawing Van derhurg. congressional candidate In the First district The meeting was in ses sion for several hours today, but nothing waa accomplished.

Judge J. B. Waldo has been rrenlloned. hut the meeting of the committee had hardly been called to order before It was discovered that there was murh hostility towards Waldo. A long and tedious dis cussion followed. A majority of the committeemen pres. ent were In favor of keclng Vattderburg in the nrld. At 10 o'clock tonlcht a num. tr of committeemen left the meetinr 1 leaving the executive committee still In I session, it is ntKhiy improtnhle that any conclusion will be reached to th. selec tion of a free allver candidate. Shortly In-fore midnight the committee dclded to make no concessions and to keep Vandcrburk In the flld. An adjournment waa then taken. KINO COUNTY REPUBLICANS. Seattle. May 5. On the eve of the Republican county convention to be held tomorrow, both Senator Squire and Bur leigh managers are claiming a majority of delegates. The fight is for the en dorsement of the convention for a dele gate to the national convention. The Burleigh faction are claiming with confidence a majority of at least 1(0 In the convention, while Squires' manager. C. II. tlngim, says tonight that he will have a sure majority of twenty-live. A free silver resolution will undoubt edly bo presented, and ns surely defeat ed. Il Is not thought tonight that any money plank will he adopted. There has been some talk today of a resolution endorsing McKlnley, but there Is a gen eral feeling thnt the delegation to the state convention should go uninstrueted save as to Kinks i-ounty's wants for a delegnte to the national convention: and It Is upon this point that the hottest kind of a fight Is being wased. As a matter of fact. It seems tonight to be almost sure that Andrew F. lturlelph will be the convention's choice. Squire nnd Burleigh have opened up headquarters In dlfTerent hotels, nnd to night the hostelrios are crowded with their respective adherents. INQERSOL ON MeKIXLKY. Omaha, May 5. Col. R. 1. tngersol. who is In Omaha todnv, in discussing pol itics, snld: "McKlnley will be nominated at St. Ixiuls nnd have lota of delegates to spare. The people associate McKlnley with pro tection, and they associate protection with prosperity. They think that hard times were created by fooling with the tariff, and they want good times. They nre tired of Cleveland and Democratic mistakes. They want McKlnley nnd they will have him. Allison and Reed nre good men the best kind .ind would make excellent presidents, but they will have to wait. I see that Manley and Quay and Clarkson nre wkhlstllng through their graveyards, but It Is no use. McKlnley will beat the field, and have at least a hundred delegates to spare. He Is a good square man, level headed and conservative, and Is well versed In practical affairs." AFRICA'S GRAND OLD MAN. President Kruger Is Now Master of the Situation In Pretoria.

Great and most unusual Interest was taken In th proceedings In view of the recent disclosures made by the publication of cipher telegram exchanred between C. ell Rhodes, then premier of Cape Colony, and others who took a mora or less lm port ant part In th Jameson raid In th territory of tha Boer republic.

If not an entire commu tation of the lenience of the convicted leader of the Johannesburg reform com mittee. But It la useless to deny that th publication of the series of Incrim inating telegram ha put a decided damper upon th effort of the Roer to lessen the punishment of lh prisoners, and It I (aid much may depend upon the action of the British government tow ards Cecil Rhode.

Arithmetic and conundrums tre the twin joys of Jack's small soul. At the early age of S he has mistered the In tricacies of counting as far as one nun dred. He can give you change for a dollar and cheat you, too. If you are not careful. He haa all the Mother Goose rhymes In which counting Is an element at his tongue's end. But even the de lights of arithmetic pale before those of a new riddle. His naive pleasure, when, after much hesitation and wrong guess ing, you at last give the right answer to one of his oft-repeated, childish con undrums, ls so real that you will will ingly lend yourself to the harmless de ception of pretending to forget "when a door Is not a door." He has flights of Inspiration, too. In the line of originality that are not half bad. The other morning at breakfast he asked, apropos of shad roes, "Why Is this an Easter fish?" "Because It la all eggs," which no one had been able to guess. Then jumping to higher mathematics the question doubtless sug gested by the subject he asked, "Papa, which is the larger number" Jack al ways speaks good grammar "a drllllon or a qullllon?"
