HHOWN Inellnmipolls special: The Republican State convention met in Tomlinson Hnll Wednesday afternoon. The preliminary session lasted but twj hour", and after listening to a long address by Senator Fairbanks the convention adjourned until Thursday. The asseir.bly at Tomlinson Hull was commented e n as the most representative body of Indiana Republicans brought together in yinrs there. The main rfloor was reserved for the 1,010 delegates, and the great circular balconies were packed with interested visitors and friends of

candidates. On the stage were 300 of the most prominent "Republicans of the State, the ftices of nearly all being familiar to the delegates. As the vvcll-kwovn politicians entered there were storms of applause. All the congressional delegation was present, seated on the speakers pintform, immediately under a canopy of flags, from the center of which was let down a Inrge picture of a soldier in complete fighting uniform taking leave of his sweetheart. The convention was probably the largest Republican convention that ever asrembled in this State. The body was called to order by Charles S. Heroic, chairman of the State committee, wjio, with a few brief remarks, opened the meeting by calling upon the committees of the convention for their reports. The first of these was tbe committee on permanent organization, which had selected Senator Charles W. Fairbanks for permanent chairman. His address was looked forward to as expressing in a large measure the views of the administration. Senator Fairbanks' speech, which took an hour to deliver, was pregnant with commendation of President McKinley and his war and foreicn policy. He to"-1 - i",'f,'i force the money plank of the fit. Louis platform in a much stronger manner than was contemplated at the time of its passage. Delegates Cheer Fairbanks, When Senator Fairbanks appeared upon the stage the delegates broke into loud applause and it was some moments before he could proceed with his address. Hia references to the party wises who bare passed away, to the record which the party has made under the administration of President McKinley, to the issues of the campaign, the conduct of the war and to the duty of Republicans, evoked the closest possible attention and made a deep impression upon his auditors. He reviewed the wnr at great length, nnd pointed out the wisdom of the various steps that wore taken in the critical period before war was declared. He also pointed with satisfaction to the fact that the wisdom of those opposing recognition of the so-called Cuban republic had rnsn thoroughly vindicated. He gave expression to no well-defined policy concerning the Philippine question, but left it to be inferred that the President had his mind made up upon the subject, declaring that the American people would applaud his policy in this direction as thoroughly ns they had in other matters. Much of his addres-f was given to n discussion of the larger results of the war in exhibiting to the world the unity, the strength and the patriotism of the American people, and in bringing about more cordial relations amoSg the English-speaking people of the world. The development of this feeling he regarded as one of the most important forward steps of the century in the march of civilhation. "When we were last assembled two years ago," said Mr. Fairbanks, "distress and commercial paralysis were on every hand; our people were enervated and our progress seemed dead. But with the restoration of the Republican party to power in 1897 an era of prosperity was ushered in. It was the natural and logical resalt of the restoration of the Republican party to power and tbe re-establishment of Republican principles in public administration." Then came eloquent praise for the chief executive of the nation. Senator Fairbankssaid: We are proud of the administration of William McKinley. He has met every demand upon him with a broad and comprehensive statesmanship and sought to lead our country in the ways of peace, fraternity, prosperity and honor. In less than ninety days he assembled nn army of nearly a quarter of a million men, culling to the rinks nnd places of leadership men of ail parties and from all sectims of the country. He appointed leaders who had fouglit to destroy the X'nion in order that tbey might vindicate their love for the republic and their loyalty to the flag." Senator Fairbanks then turned his attention to the issues arising from the wur, saying: "We have determined to free Cuba and to establish pesce in the island. To turn the people of the island over to annrrby and misrule, turbulence and disorder, would be in violation of the mandate which Christian civilization has pliced upon us. When stable government is established and the tranquility of the island is absolutely assured, our obligation toward it and its pimple is nl mi end, anil the;- must be left tn work nut their own destiny as an independent nation. "The territory which we may iic'jtiire will have come to us not as the object but as an incident of the wnr. We made no war for territorial aggrandizement, we did not seel; to extend our sovereignty. If Spain hnd not stood on the order of goi:ig nnd bad withdrawn from the if hi nil of Culm, her sovereignty in I'nrto Hiio, the Philippines and the Ijidrones would be undisturbed to-day." Mr. Fairl. links said the Republican party is "committed to the tiiaiiileiinnce of the gold Httunliird and the enactment of such snfegtiiirds its will itlwiys itml heyoud perndventure preserve tt'il 'mr hilvp and paper currency tit a parity with gold." He also favored the construction by the

United States of the -Nicarufuau cuiml,.

Relative to Great Britain's friendship he said: "It is gratifying to know that the prejudices which haTc divided the Anglo-Snxnn people are fast disappearing. The voices of English statesmen, when the fortunes of battle were not so clearly defined as now, moved our countrymen." It had been arranged to receive the report of the platform committee at the close of the Senator's speech, but the delegates were anxious to get back to the hotel and learn how their friends, the candidates, wore faring, and so it was decided to postpone the rending and adoption of the platform until Thursday. Nominations Made, The convention reassembled at in o'clock Thursday morning nnd was called to order by Senator Fairbanks. licforo proceeding to make noiiiiiiutioiis it resolution authorising the chairman of the convention to send to President McKinley n telegram of greeting nnd congratulations for his "wise administration of affairs, both in war and in peace," was adopted. The following were presented for Secretary of State: Joseph C. Chancy, Sullivan County, the Seventh distri-.-t, Charles F, Collin of Marion, nnd the Eighth district. Union B. Hunt of Randolph. Hunt was nominated cn the first ballot, receiving 800 votes. For Auditor, the Ninth district presented the name of Willinn H. Hurt of Clinton, and the same district nnmed David K. Shot-rick of Hamilton. James R. Henry of Marion County, who had been a ctiiiiliiiutc for the titiilitorshijj, withdrew before llie balloting began. The vote resulted in Hart's nomination, vho received 1,ll!'Uj votes. Other nominations were; Treasurer Leopold Levy of Huntington. Attorney General W. h. Taylor of Marion County. Clerk Supreme Court Robert II . Brown, Johnson County. The scheme for a two dsys' convention, now first introduced in Indiana. hs become instantly popular. It comes at a time when the country people can get nway from home, ami Republicans throughout the Stnte made it the occasion of a midsummer vacation.

CHAPTKIt XXIV. Lady Nevil had been In London three weeks; the season was in full swing. She !iad presented Madge to her sovereign, and Madge was in high spirils and enjoyn g her gaycties immensely. Juno hnd neon home once, nnd fir Tlioinns had spent two nights in London, on the eecn don of bis wife's giving :t dinner party nt which it wns thought desirable he should preside ns host. The season advanced, and rumors be;nn to fly about of tin expedition to Kgrpt ill which the (Innrds were to take part. At first the idea was ridiculed, but gradually it came to be entertained mure seriously, nnd lion to be recognized as a fact. In1l' battalion was for service, nnd ns snor. as this was known to the ladles in Crosvotior street it had n most dampening effect upon their spirits. Madge, it is true, affected to share the enthusiasm ol Dallas, and t-Jked gnyly of the distinctions he would earn the possibility of medals and Victoria crosses. Mrs. Kllcsinerc was seriously depressed at the thought of the hardship and danger her favorite nephew might incur, am! ns for J line, each time sin? realized It. a knot m-e in her tlinnit and a mist came before 'icr eyes, and she felt os if life bad sudden y become blank. She would look furtive y nt him as he was laughing and talking in the gityest of spirits, and then her vivid imagination would see him lying dead, v.itb livid, upturned face, on a battlefield, or worn and wasted by fever in some wretched hospital. Late one July afternoon June and Mrs. ICIIesui -re left the carriage at tbe top of the How and took chairs under the trees. Dallas was tn join them there. Madge was spi tiding the afternoon with a friend. Mr. Carslnkc passed, then stopped, turned and asked permission to sit down by I-ady evil. Presently a frieuo of Mrs. Kllesmi re joined her, niul the first pair were left to each other. Naturally enough, the conversiition turned on the coming campaign, ami June, who was always tiying to get comfort on the subject, asked Mr. Cnrsinke his opinion of tile chances of fighting, June tried to draw consolation from Mr. Carslnk . Ho did not think it would lie a very serious affair; he was not impressed with a belief in the fighting qualities

of the Xgyptians: a ciiange of masters

would make very little difference to them;

they would still be oppressed under any rule, 'llie clitnat? was the worst part of It, tlrnigb the Bedouins and the Nile might seriously impede our operations. Then Mr. Cnrsinke, not looking at Lady Nevil. b it trying to make his voice iu-diffe-rent, said: "I suppose Miss Kllosmcro feels Broke's going very much":' In a moment his menu ing dnwned nn June, niul she saw that a golden opportunity wis before her. "I do u'jt think so," she answered. "Not nearly so much as my aunt and I. She only thinks of the brilliant side of war, W-Vlfrf A'lVtnre- w hen he is gone, no doubt." said Mr, Cnrsinke, tracing a pattern in the gravel with his stick. "I do it it know." replied June. "People never think anything is likely to happen to tlnir friends unless it is a mutter of vitally absorbing iuterest to them." "But I thought such was tbe case." "Certainly not." exclaimed Lady Nevil, with great animation. "There is nothing of nay sort or kind between Madge and Mr. Itroki. except the most ordiuary friendship." "Oh!" aid Mr. Carslake looked up at her. "I wns told that if not actually engaged tbey were next door to it." June felt hat her opportunity had come. "What do not people say'" she remnrked. "Do you believe every report you hear?" "Only when it is borne out by appearances." "You nre quite mtstakzn," said Lndy Nevil. "M ulge has never In-on in love but once in aer life, and I hen so seriously that I think it will quite prevent her ever caring n uch for anyone else." "Tell me frankly," said Mr. Cnrsinke, "are yon sp.-nking of nu ? I should not vent ire to ask, unless " "Yes, I an," replied June, with equal frankness. "And--and do you really believe she is not indifferent to mo';" "I nm quite sure that you ore the only man for whom she has ever cared seriously." To Mr. Cnislake's infinite chagrin, Dallas came up at this moment. But Juno felt that enough had been saiii, and that Madge's future, at all events, was Fafe. Dallas saw June and Madge off Ivy the trnin next day; he took cordial lvavo of the latter, tint she wished him a gay farewell, nnd hade him bring her back the sculps of mini 'runs Egyptian, and return covered with .ilory. "I shall see you ngnin," he said to June ns the train was starling, keeping a long hold of her I. ami and for mice tint attempting to pren-nl his eyes from betray

ing to her all lie feit. As for June, she was .leal lily inlc; her lips were quivering; there wits n look almost of agony in her face. The whistle sounded, the train moved off, tliiir eyes were fixed in one long, Inst gnze, nud then they went parted. June leaned buck in the carriage and closed her cyio. Madge iiiutlo sumo gay remark, but her cousin did not answer. Slid Madge to..ik the bint and left her uinl'.'. Her own pleasant thoughts were company enoutli for her; the iiiisiiuderrinuding between her and Mr. Cnrsinke was at nu end, und lie bad asked ber to marry Mm. The time was drawing on, anl June had not yet found courage to tell her husband of her intended visit to Lond in; she felt instinoti vclv that be would not be pleased. And, whatever happened, she could not. no sin. could not, give up that cherished idea. She must see Dallas once more. One morning, four days before the announced departure of the (Jtiards, she s'sii to Tom, .is he was about to leave the breakfast room: "I nm going up on Ssfcirdny to stay two nigh: with Mrs. TrTanion." "Oh!" he uttered, and stopped short. "Have yon not hud Miough of London yet V" There v,ms sotacthing nnusiiRl in his voice; it bad a rintf of distinct displeasure nnd disstitisfiicti.-m. There was i:n mistake about his displeasure. He iici.rcely spoil to h! wWe during the days that preci-ded her jour-n.-v to London. I!c half hoped she would iindci'stiiiid Hint h did not wish her to go und would give up the idea. But, though June wns n;.ist a o. tidy conscious of his displeasure, the feit thai, unless he forbadc her in so many words, go she must. And now the evening, to which June had been looking feverishly forward, had arrived. She wns sitting opposite Dallas, who appeared to b III the highest spirits, and thinking every time she looked nt his handsome, cheery face that it was for the last time. Her henrt was like lend within In r breast: she knew she should ncter see liiiti again. She trinl to smile nnd tnlk, but when she opened her lips a choking sctisiijion.euso, iulier throat and

I V m

made her f e'er as if she must Durst into tears. There was a wistful look in Dallas' eyes, as though he were asking her if she was really sorry he was going if she would miss him. Mrs. Trevmtion made superhuman efforts to talk brightly, she would not allow hersi If t dwell on facts, but insisted oil putting the most cheerful face on the expedition nnd on making the very Itost of everything, it was quite likely the whole thing would be over before they got out, she said: but Dnllns indignantly protested against the idea of their being made fools of for nothing. What should he bring them back from KgyptV lie hardly knew what the specialties of the country were. But Mrs. Trevnnion bade him bring him

self hack safely, nnd they would be quite

sntisiled. His sword belt had arrived just as In- was starting for dinner, so he had brought it with him to try on. And, with the Help or Ids Bom .nt. hi; urm-ivded to equip himself in it, while June, icy cold, with burning cheeks, sat looking on. Dallas, however, seemed plensuriibly excited. He drew bis sword from the scabbard, nm!. flourishing it in the air. wondered Itiiigiiingly how many Egyptians he should slay with it. Then June shut her eyes, and a horrid picture came across her Imagination. She saw him, still grasping his sword, but fulling, staggering under bis death wound, his now smiling face convulsed with agony. Oh, it wns nothing short of murder to send out n boy like (hot! And in what a cause! Overwhelmed with agony, n great sob rose Ir her throat a sob thnt would not 1st stifled; and then, struck with sudden horror at having thus bit rayed herself, she rose and lied from the room. Dallas stopped short, as if paralysed; the color left his cheeks, and lie stood staring at Mrs. Trevanion, who affected lint to notice what bad happened, and went on arranging the helt. But Dallas put one hand on her anu and said, iu a voice stammering with emotion: "Do you really think she cares about my going?" "Do we not all care?" returned Mrs. Trevnnion, evasively. "Yes, hut I wish I had known before!" uttered Dnllns, leaning against the chimney piece and putting one hand over his eyes.

"Why do yon wish you had known before V said Mrs. Trevanion, reproachfully, "Woiild you like to go sway nursing a dishonorable passion in your heart? Do you think it would be any comfort to you, supposing," and her voice faltered "supposiiu' you bad to look death in the face, to remember that you had brought unhnppincss and doubt into the home of an honest man n man whose peace of mind you have every right to respect? And, liesides, toii are wrong in attaching any im

portance to Lndy Nevii's ugitatiou. She is very sensitive: she has seen a great deal of vo'u lately; even if she hnd only the most cousinly liking for you, she might wen leei upset to-i.-.i,t. Io you suppose," the tears standing i- oyuit "that I do not feci bad about your going?" "Heaven bless you, my dear, I know you do. But- lnt," opening his blue eyes rather widely at her, "you you don't think I sha'u't come back?" "No, no," cried his friend. "I am quite sure you will. But I should like to think you went out with a free heart and a dear consi.'ience." Then there was a long pause, broken at last by Dallas. "Do y nt think," he uttered very wistfully, with an imploring glance, "that I might see her for one moment alone before I go, just to wish her good-by?" "No, no, no!" answered Mrs. Trevanion, with the utmost resolution. "Not for anything in the world; not fov both your snkes. You know there is nothing I would not do for you. But not t'iBt." When the wheels had rolled away, the (wo ladies sal down ni'J wept greviously. Ami theirs were not the ouly hearts that ached that night. CHAl'TKR XXV. Tom received his wife tvith extreme coldness on her return. He scarcely sp.ke during dinner, a:id, when it was over, wetit nway to his own room. He did not mention Dallas' name, or make any inquiry about his departure. June was perfectly conscious of these signs of di'.ph-asitrc, but a sort of apathy had stolen over her; it seemed us if nothing wittered very much. In a few days, perhaps, she would feel differently, und then she would set to work to propitiate ber husband. In reality Tom felt himself deeply aggrieved. It took a long time to get an idoa into his head, but once it was there, t still longer tine was iiei'dcd to dislodge it. Why should June have wanted to go

to London to Lid Dallas good-by again, unless she took a much greater interest in him than she had any right to? As for him. of course, he had beeu at his infernal tricks rgnin; nnd Tom ground his

teeth. Oh, how mistaken, how mistaken In- had been in June. Well, he must put up with it now, he supposed; anyhow, the boy was left to him, and they two would be oil In nil to each other, plenso Cod! There would be no one to come between them for the next twenty years or so, nt all events. Day followed day, and still that npntby wns in June's veins. She who was wont to be so active snt listless and idle and took scant interest in anything. At Inst the papers recorded the arrival ot the (itinrds at Alexandria, and, after thnt, June looked every day eagerly for news. She wns not, as u rule, given to reading t!:e pa ers, but now-, the moment tbey eta; "he seized otwn eta eagerly. ThlB also Tom remarked with dlaptaas a, Her husband's altered demeanor was by no means lost on June; she began to feel that their estrangement was a serious thing. Agnes, who enme occasionally to the Hnll, had every opportunity of seeing the estrangement Hotween liusbniid and wife; indeed, June took special occasion to be cjiptioiis and frigid hi Tom in the presence ol tluit sainted creature. When Mudge returned from a visit she had paid to Mr. Curslakc's sister she experienced a sense of consternation at seeiug the state of affairs. "Juny, darling," she exclaimed, "what on curt li is llie matter with yon nnd Tom? This sort of thing will never do. Y'ou are uiorc like two strange cats than the two devoted people you used to tie." 'Oh." returned .Itine, bitterly, "that is the way with married people. You and your Mr. Cnrsinke will be just the Banie in u few years' time." "Never!" cried Madge, with immense emphasis. "He will tire of you," snid June. "I don't believe men have any affection. At all events, it does not last." "Juny," uttered Madge, wistfully, 'do yon know, I don't think it can be all Tout's fault? I think you must have di ne soTiicthi. g to change him." "Wl.ut linv . I done?" Unshed out Jtvte. "You will lie angry, I'm afraid, if I ell y.u; w hat. Itbiuk," said Madge, slightly

embarrassed.

June looked at her expectantly. "I think," faltered Madge, "I know it is

absurd, but I do think Tom is jealous of Dnllns."

Then Lady Nevil 'ulfillcil Madge's pre

diction by evincing great anger at such nn utterly ridiculous and unwarrantable

assertion, isni Madge was cx mpellcd to eat

her words and express the smccrest entrition for having suggested anything no impossibly nnd wickedly absurd. Madge was so extremely happy herself about this time that she had little or no leisure In w hich to occupy herself with her cousin's

concerns. .Mr. cnrsiiiKe wns at tnc rec

tory, and was to spend a week at the Hal: Inter. The marriage wns fixed for the middle of September. H:r Thomas nnd Lady Nevil were to go to their place in the North the second week in October. There hnd been no visitors at the Hnll this summer. June hnd felt scant inclination to

play the part of hostess, and Tom wns

never very keen about Dovog guests in the horse. Mrs. R'llesmere was at Hornburg, aid had been there crer since they

gave up the hor.se In Qtosvenor street.

Mrs. Treviiitinn wns the only person who had been bidden. She, however, had oth

er engagements, but promised to come for

Madge' '4 wedding and to stay a fortnight nfter it. To this visit June looked forward iiirazltigly. Meantime, things went m much In the same way. Agnes, indeed, took advantage of June's apparent Indifference to come lucre frequently to the Hall, nnd. in one way or another, managed to see a good il.-ul of Tom and to niniiifets a great deal of sympathy for him. He did not nctunlly complain of his wife, but it was easy tn svo he was a disappointed man, and Agio's was able to say a great many words in season. Madge was far too much occupied with her own affairs to continue her system of espionage over her sister, nnd June had gr iwn not to care only to feel a sort of contemptuous indifference. "If it aio.isou thcui to lie together and to abuse me, lor them! What does it matter?'' Her soul w Wrs,.,) by what she read in the papers- the KarrjShi--ii.. muuw

Cruelly and (stupidity Long CbuFAC teriatlc of gpain. "Here Is more of the work of that cowardly assassin of Spain," exclaimed Henry IV. of France, as, while re-entering Paris after the victory over the Spaniards ut Amiens, lie was stubbed c ud wounded by Chaslel. The "cowardly assassin" referred to was, of course, Philip II. All of the French King's attendants aud niotit of his subjects placed the guilt on the same individual. Any crime especially cowardly

aud despicable which was committed on or against, any of Philip's powerful fes anywhere in Europe during hia r dgu was immediately attributed to hint without any quesfiou. The man who instigated the assassination of William of Orange, who had his own sou murdered, aud who sanctioned If h bad not Incited the infamous Alva's "court of blood," had a prescriptive right to the paternity of any sort of atrocity perpetrated during his time

which could not be immediately traced to somebody else.

lust three centurlen have passed, says the St. Louis Globe-Democrat, since Philip II.'s death, but there has Ixeu no change in the Spanish character or methods. The crimes of Cortez ar.d Pizarro. of an enrller date than Philip, were repeated in the Carllst w;ir Iu the second third of the present

ecatury nnd iu the conflicts In Cuba In more recent years. "The name of Phiarro," said Prescol t, "became a bywcrd of perfidy." All the ntroeltles wt ich Cortez committed in Mexico just

before the middle of the sixteenth cen

niry were duplicated by both the unris-

tiuos and the Carllsts in the civil war

in Spain near the middle of the nlneteentli. Pizarro's treachery and the sacrifice of bis friends for which he Is

scourged in history were repeated at nnd after the close of Cuba's war of :l8tlc.-7S. Nothing in the wholesale mas

sacres anddevastatlons of Cortez in the

land of tbe Montezunias displayed more

savagery than did the Vlrglnlus atroci

ties of 1873, and Weyler's cruel nud cowardly slaughters of the hundreds of thousands "of unarmtrd Cubans whom lie put to death during his rdglme. Piza-ro's treacherous murder or the Inca Atahualpa was reproduced on a

larger stage three and two-thirds cen

mrle,5 later in Weyler's betrayal and

iissii-sination of Maceo. liven more remarkable than the

treachery and cowardice of Spanish poII ileal crimes is trielr stupidity. "The

execution ot Eg-cnont," says Motley, re

f erring to one of the victims of Alva's

bloody rerrlme In the Netherlands, "re-

ninins an enduring monument not only

of Philip's cruelty and perfidy, but of bis dullness. The King bad everything to hope from him and nothing to fear." The nssasinatlon of Marshal Prim Id INTO took away the strongest prop from Amadous' newly-erected throne, and made "he rule of thai: conservative and well-meaning monarch brief. Weyler's assassination of Maceo turned public sentiment all over Europe agalnsf Srialn. and was one of the cause which, through President McKlnley'i vigorous remonstrance to Spain, forced Wsylet's fall.
