TEFi MILLION BOXES ty of business' transacted at conferences and then disposed of in the regular meeting without comment. While at present it looks as if all harmony proceedings between the two Republican panies were off, there are still hopea that something will be done. The so-called Regular Republican committee has postponed its primary election until May 21, which is nine days after the primaries of the Union Republicans, and it is believed that this action was taken in order that there might be new negotiations with the Union Republicans. There is no doubt that most of the members of the Republican party in this city are in favor" of common primaries or one ticket, to be agreed upon by compromise, even should there be no common primaries. Some of the Republican candidates have stated openly that they will not be candidates if there are two tickets in the field, and this may result in the two factions eventually coming together.

There is really no reason why the Republican party should proceed to throw away the best chance which it ever had of securing control of the city government of Wilmington merely because there was some misunderstanding in reference to the Senatorial controversy when the Legislature was in session. That matter has been settled, and the Republicans are now more interested in getting control of Wilmington and putting the city upon a business basis than they axe in settling the Senatorial controversy. There is no doubt that the election of two Republican Senators has benefited Wilmington, because the United States engineer officers would have been sent from this city and Wilmington made a portion of so'ne other district if the two Republican Senators had not gone to WTashington and entered a protest against such action. 1ms was one way in which the city was benefited by the election of Senators, but it would oe still more benefited if the Ke-pubbcans could secure control of the city government and put it in a position where ft would not be necessary each fiscal year to borrow money for the purpose of meeting the expenditures of the city. Wilmington is just now having the greatest boom in its history, and the announcement to the world that the city had been able to elect a complete list Republican officials, who would place the city government upon a business basis would have the effect of causing manufacturers and others to locate here who would not otfrar.frl to Wilmmzton.

The strusgle for the election of henator? injured the material proiiws i ton, ana mere r- ent boom is largely due to the fact that the Senatorial controversy was settled and those who had money to invest were willing to invest it when the State came out of its political struggles, and not before. At the meeting of the Board of Trade this week there was another evidence ot the advancement of Wilmington. There were 240 new members taken into the body, which was over fifty members more than the old membership of the board. It has been decided to have permanent headquarters, open at all times, where visitors to the city may be able to find representatives of the board when it ia necessary to find them. Such a movement ought to have been started long ago, but the city was coming out of its swaddling clothes and is now advancing from a country town to a considerable city.

The effect is being felt in all parts of the city and State, and with the proper effort on the part of the Board of Trade and with a Republican city government to make the tax rate of the city meet the expenditures there ought to be no trouble in making this one of the finest cities in the vicinity of the Atlantic coast. 1 canoy ATrujrnc TT0 NATIONAL GUARD AND ITS DOINGS Army Magazine Rifles Have Been Received and Will Be Distributed To-morrow Sons of the Subjects Taken Up at the Interstate Convention Captain Case's Notable Address The re-armament of the Guard with the magazine rifle of the army is now a fact. Last week a full complement of the rifles arrived at the State Arsenal, Harrisburg, and by to-morrow three regiments of the Guard will have the new pieces. Shipment was made on Friday to the Second Infantry, First Brigade; Thirteenth In fantry. Third Brigade: fcixteentn in fantry, Second Brigade, and these regiments should receive the rifles by to-mor- row.

one 01 me new ruies carefully inspected by Lieutenant Colonel Richardson, at the Areenal, ana ne pro- nources them a fine lot of weapons, having all of the latest improved sights, and that they are new pieces, and not second hand, as has been intimated. Accompanying the new rifles will be cases for the 45- calibre Springfielda. These cases contain all of the blocks necessary for the packing, and the old rifles are to be at once returned to the State Arsenal, from where they will be shipped to the National Arsenal. Th Droceedinzs of the Interstate Na tional Guard Convention at Columbus last week was notable in the subjects taken up. There were thirty-three States represented and there was also a large delegation from the army.

Brigadier General G-obia took up my remarks in last Sunday's Inquirer in reference to the pending evolution of the character of the Sta.te troops into semi-regulars, and il effect that it would have upon the entire body. There was much discussion by the army authorities as to what was being done for all concerned, but the question, bluntly put, as to what was about the enlisted men, brought no satisfactory response. Colotel Hulings offered a resolution that the men be paid $1 for each drill attended, and fined 50 cents for each, drill missed, which was agreed to. This bears out exactly what I predicted, that the former volunteer guardsman ia now become half a regular. Another resolution adopted indorsed a matter upon which I have harped for years, and that is the indiscriminate wearing of the uniform of the army by all sorts of irresponsible individuals and societies.

The resolution condemns this practice and asks for legislation to prevent it in the future. The Pennsylvania delegation was a notable one, comprising all of the general officers and a number of the regimental commanders as well as staff officers. The army was represented by officers of the severs! staff departments, as well as those of the line, and it was arranged that several of the army 8taff department officers will. pay a visit to the State Arsenal, at Harriaburg, within a short time, where they will be shown the valuable institution admiristered by Lieutenant Colonel Richardson.

U. S.

who spoke in no uncertain terms of the conditions aa they exist in the Philippines. It cannot be truthfully said that the anti-imperiali8ts would have been pleased at the captain's words about the "Dear Little Brown Man." Captain Case served for three years in the archipelago and knows whereof he speaks. He painted harrowing pictures of the "gentleness" of the Filipino, slaughtering lamilies with the most horrible tortures. And yet he said that he met there of the highest character men who would be an honor to any race. In speaking to one of these men of the general duplicity shown by the people he was answered: "What do you expect? For three hundred years we haven even dared to think, but we are beginning to know the Americans and believe in them, and in a few years you will see a transformation." The captain vigorously refuted a statement in a London paper to the effect that the American occupation of the islands had resulted in failure, saying that the most wonderful improvements had been effected in every quarter, and that the Americans had accomplished more in four years than had the Spaniards in 400 years.

He instanced an incident when a lot of American agricultural machinery was exhibited and operated under the auspices of the army officers and of the wonderment of the natives. The intelligent classes warmly thanked the officers for what had been demonstrated, and it was, as the captain eloquently said, "a literal beating of the sword into the plough share and the epear into the At the close of the captain's talk he was warmly applauded and formally tendered the thanks of the association. Captain Case ia well known to the Pennsylvania Guardsmen, as he formerly commanded the Fourth Infantry, and was one 01 the best regimental commanders in the State. He ia a soldier and a gentleman in all that the term implies. The Old Guard of the Infantry.

Corps State Fencibles had a glorious time on last Wednesday evening at their big smoker, held in the armory, at Broad and Race streets. The Old Guard of the Second Infantry was present, in full uniform, as the guests of the Fencibles and after the excellent vaudeville entertainment had been concluded all hands adjourned "Down Where the Wurzberger Flows, and there were a number of eloquent addresses by members of both Old Guards. The Fencibles seem to have been endowed with new life, the old-time members flocking to the support of the organization and they believe they have a good future before them. This afternoon the State Fencibles Bat-taUon will attend divine services at the Memorial Church of the Advocate, Eighteenth and Diamond 6treets, where the services will be conducted by the Rev. Henry Medary, rector.

The battalion will parade in full dress uniform and will be accompanied by the Old Guard. Company Sixth Infantry, Captain Marshall, paraded yesterday at Media at the unveiling of the soldiers' monument. Elections have been ordered in Com pany Second Infantry, for a captain, vice Ross, resigned, on May 14, to be conducted by Captain Hughes, 01 Company same regiment; and for a first lieutenant, vice Tuckerman, resigned, and for such ether vacancies aa may occur, in Company Sixth Infantry, on May 20. Captain Marshall will conduct this last-mentioned election. The result of the election ordered for a major in the Sixth Infantry, held last evening, will be found in the local columns of to-day's Inquirer.

The band of the First Infantry, under the leadership of Professor Kendle, will enlist under the new law, providing for enlisted regimental bands. The anniversary parade of the Third Infantry yesterday afternoon was followed by a number of dinners given by the several companies. Company Captain Hendler, dined at Ostendorff's cafe and afterwards had a theatre party at the Garrick. First Sergeant Samuel P. Glenn, Company First Infantry, whose time recently expired and who was disinclined to re-enlist, has been persuaded to change his mind and wll for another term "mother" Captain Nuss' company.

Company First Infantry, will open its cozy club house at the Rifle Range on Memorial Day. Apprehensions as to what sort of a showing Company First Infantrv, would make at the inspection by CeptifTn Kennedy, of the Army, were happily set at naught, through the efforts or Lieutenant Maurer, of Company who haa been detailed to command the company. The old members flocked back as soon as they learned that they had a leader, and the company made a most excellent showing. Lieutenant Williams, Company and Lieutenant Wilkes, Company "Third Infantry, have tendered their resignation. Battalion Adjutant Gallagher, Third Infantry, has applied for a thirty days' leave of absence.

The members of Battery A are beginning to wonder what they are. Long before this they expected to have been turned into first-class cavalrymen, but, for some unknown reason, there has been some sort of Spanish manana about it. This state of affairs is a great injustice to this fine body of soldiers. Their status should be settled and settied quickly. The present suspense does not make for its good as an organization.

It should be at once officially declared cavalry, as it is the announced intention of the authorities to make it such. The annual dance of Company Infantry Corps, State Fencibles, will be held at the armory on next Tuesday evening. THE One New Show and Several Continued From Last Week Will Be on View Crafts' Society to Hold a Public Meeting Club Notes and Personals There will be one new exhibition in town this week. At the Philadelphia Sketch Club. 235 South Camae street, mar be eeea during this and next week a collection of some twenty pictures painted by Mr.

and Mrs. Colin Campbell Cooper. These pictures are a part of the collection ei-ihibited by the Coopers at Klackner's in New York, last March, and most of them were done in England during the summer of last year. Mr. Cooper has recently finished another of his series of "Sky Scrapers," a view tef City Hall Square looking north, a large canvas, well composed and forcibly sug-feestive of the great architectural masses Philadelphia political centre.

This is the seventh painting of this character Mr. Cooper haa cone since Christmas, and all of these pictures are successful. Two are lalready sold, and one of the two is the (view of Broad street, New York, which awarded the Evans' prize of $300 in the exhibition of the American Water Color Society in New York. It is Mr. Cooper's intention to paint the most characteristic beetiqna of all of the American cities, to series of pictures which will be of very great value as records of existing conditions in thia country.

Already their importance J8 felt abroad, and only a few days ago Mr. Cooper was asked by a Viennese publisher to contribute a descriptive article with pictures to an art journal of that fcity. The Plastic CluVa TTmrnKW turn at the Art Club, will continue until Friday of this week, the Art Club having generously agreed to the use of their galleries until that date. This exhibition of Daintines in miniature has been tremfnA- ouly popular. The record of sales is grati- lying.

in tne nrst ween ot the exhibition one hundred and seventy pictures were sold, the sales amounting to more ihan $2500. The club hopes to double this amount by Thursday of this week. All of the work connected with this exhibition except the actual hanging has been done by the people -who are interested in its success. Mr. Snow, who can always sell pictures, gives his services, and both the jury and the Exhibition Committee have given time and energy in its cause.

Even the posters w'hich advertise the show have been colored bv hand, often byattistis whose time is almost invaluable. Then, too, the artists who are exhibiting in many cases are people who receive for their pictures many times the highest sum the Plastic Club is charging now, and picture buyers recognize that they have jn the Thumb-box exhibition an opportunity to secure work which thev could get nowhere else. Last, week the Thumb-box Exhibition Committee conferred a gold medal on John J. Dull, of this city. A jury of Rrtists, composed of Clifford P.

Gravson, Edward W. Redfield, Ludwig E. Faber and Georsre W. Dawson, selected Mr. Dull's "Winter Landscape" from among the 1400 sketches shown as the one in their opinion deserving the medal.

Another exhibition being conducted by the Plastic Club is the small array of applied art in the club's room at 10 South Eighteenth street. Being less conspicuous every way than the brilliant lot of little pictures at the Art Club, it as somewhat lost in the thade last week. The collection will remain at the club wntil Saturday of this week, and it mav be seen every afternoon from 1 until clock. Two of the art clubs of town held elections on Wednesdav of last week the T-Square Club and the Plastic Club. The T-Square Club re-elected Mr.

W. C. Hays president. Mr. Hays has served the club in that capacity for the past three years.

RAILROAD NOTES The Pennsylvania Railroad will begin running Gome of its expresp to and from New York and tht South West througtt Philadelphia, stopping onlv at West Philadelphia station, on May 17. Thia change, however, will not reduce th enmber of express trains running daily from Broad street station, bat travelers wishing to alight here from the South and West expresses will -have to get off those trains at West Philadelphia, and come into Broad Street Station on local trains. The tunnel connecting tha New York division with the main line and the West Philadelphia station, through which the South and West expresses will run, is ready now for eervire, and the wrwk of completely rearranging the piers supporting the Spring Garden street bridge, necessitated by this change, has been pushed so rapidly that the tracks leading to the subway and station will be finished in a few days. Until the summer schedule has been formed. It will not be known Just what trains will cease to enter Broad street Station on their way West or South.

It has been decided, however, that two new fast trains West will be added. Travel to the West has grown so greatly that It has 'been found Impossible to carry all those desiring to use the ''Limited." Therefore, there ire MM two sections of this train. The first will leave Sew York at the usual time, running to Chicago. The second section will leave half hour later and will run to St. Louis.

Neither of these trains will enter Broad Street Station. They will stop at Germantown Junction for hiladelphians and then proceed, through the tunnel to the main line.

Hospital Steward Simons, of the Second Infantry, entertained the non-commissioned staff of his regiment on Saturday evening, May 2, at his home, 1936 North Sixth street. There is a movement on foot by the officers of the Second Infantry to establish some kind of an athletic field for the use of the members of the regiment.

The idea originated chiefly for the benefit of the regimental but the mention of securing an athletic field received such an indorsement by the members of the regiment generally that it is expected to be a great success. Captain Hutchinson, Company Second Infantry, has placed a case before the Summary Court of the regiment which will be acted upon some time this week.

The first summary court ordered by Colonel Price in the Third Infantry since the regiment's arrival home from the coal regions was held on Friday night last by Lieutenant Colonel Tilghman. Seven members of Company all charged with being absent without leave, were the defendants. Some of them, it is said, will be fined, while others will be dishonorably discharged from the service. A number of other members of the regiment who have been neglecting their duty will be tried, as it is the intention of Colonel Price to deal severely with all those found guilty. All the improvements about the Third Infantry armory have been completed, and the interior presents a cheerful and beautiful appearance.

Colonel Price will have an architect look over the Third Infantry armory for a gymnasium, pool and billiard room, which is to be. built in the rear of the drill floor. The gymnasium when completed will be one of the best equipped sporting arenas in the city. Lieutenant Boyer, Company Third Infantry, who is the historian of his company, is preparing a history of Company A. which will be published in book form.

The members are also making plans for the erection of a cabinet to hold relics and trophies. The Veteran Association of the Third Infantry is making preparations to decorate the memorial tablet in the armory which was erected in memory of the members of the regiment who died while in service during the Spanish War.

On Friday of last week the students of the Academy of the Fine Arts made their annual pilgrimage to New York. The date of the excursion was three times postponed, and last week the important annual picture exhibitions in New York had closed, but the Metropolitan is a fixture, and offers enough pleasure and profit to the students, especially when they are "personally conducted" by Mr. Chase, as they were last week. Mrs. L.

Hart Darragh, of this city, is going with Mr. Chase's summer class to Holland. She will sail from New York June 21. At the studio of Mr. A.

Miss Paula Himmelsbach will spend the summer in France. Miss Meta Vaux Warrick has moved her studio from 1432 South Penn Square to 338 South Quince street. Miss Warrick has been at work all winter on a number of small sketches in clay, which bear out the promise of her early work. This young sculptor has a genuine gift for catching and perpetuating in plastic form a passing phase of a subject, a mood, an expression. Her imagination and originality are extraordinary and a little more carefulness of technique will put her work seriously above much of the modelling done in this country to-day.

Bethlehem is holding an exhibition of pictures. The collection is arranged aa a special attraction in connection with the Bach i-estival, which will begin in that citv to-morrow and continue all the week. The pictures have been solicited by Mis3 Mumford and Emil Gelhaar, of Lehigh University, and they come from a number of prominent artists and from some Erivate collections in tJetniehem. They ave been selected and hung by a jury composed of Robert Henri, Miss Mum-ford, Emil Gelhaar, Adolph Borie 3d, and Frank Myers.

The objects of the society as announced in a preliminary circular are: "To further the combination what is good, in art as well as in workmanship, and to find a market for the products of well executed handicrafts of good and appropriate design; to provide designs ana give practical instruction to those skilled with their hands, but lacking in the knowledge necessary for the production of artistic work; to encourage in the purchasing public a more general appreciation of good handicrafts; to stimulate a epirit of. comrade Indications Are That Republican Factions Will Eventually Unite Other Wilmington Gossip Special to The Inquirer.

WILMINGTON, May 9. Now that the Democrats believe they have some hope of carrying the next city election they have split into pieces over a candidate for Mayor, and there are several more candidates than were anticipated. The contest is a true example of the fact that "politics makes etrange bed-fellows." James P. Wincnester, president of the First National Bank, has the support of the element known as the "slop" Democrats, which is the term applied to the Democratic leaders in City Council because they awarded the contracts for removing garbage to a number of Democrats, although they were higher in their bids than a number of Republicans. The objection to Mr.

Winchester isthat he was placed in the field after Jesse K-Baylis and William L. Hamann had both been brought out by their friends and had been assured that there would be no further opposition and that they might fight it out between themselves. They were good enough candidates when there was believed to be no opportunity of winning, but as soon as there was supposed to be -a chance of winning Winchester was brought out. The Municipal League is running a ticket of its own. There was a time when Wil-mingtonians actually believed that this free silver organization had some power and thet it was able to exert an influence in favor of Bryan and Bryan Democrats which would be telling, but when some of the members of that organization proceeded to adopt resolutions on "graffers" and to op-Icfe office-seeking on the part of a number of others the whole thing became funny.

Among the members of the. body are some of the most persistent old office-seekers that ever attached themselves to the Democratic party, and the only reason that some of them are not still seeking office is because the grip which they had upon the organization has been lost. The fact of these men sitting up and demanding better government for Wilmington and denounc ing persistent omce-seekers was too much for the average Democrat and it is not Ksely that the organization will be able to cut much of a figure in the coming prima ries. There is one declaration in the platform of the Democratic League or its branch, the Municipal League, which commands respect from the members of all parties, and that is the declaration that all the meetings of public bodies in this city ought to be public. There was a time when they were, but that time has pasted.

When the members of City Council have some imortant topic to consider they usually go in the Mayor omce and settle it, after which they hold a public peeting of Council and go over the same matter without any comment. The people have gotten tired of this because they not only want to- know what is dene in City Council and other public bodies, but they also want the reasons and the details. However, it is expected that the next City Council will hold public meetings and abolish the Mayor's office plan, and it may be that other city bodies will follow suit. It must be remembered in discussing the affairs of this city that a comparatively small quantity of the business of the city is transacted by Council. There are other city bodies which are fully as important in the affairs of the city; while the actual meetings of these departments are public there is a considerable quanti-,.
