Question Raised That He is Not En titled to a Seat. Omaha, Neb.. Deo. IS.—Will the l'nl ted States Senate permit William V. Allen to take his seat? This question has been raised in high political cir cles here and is agitating the minds of both Republicans and Fusionists, some of whom hold that the Senate cannot legally recognize the credentials which Mr. Allen holds—namely, the commis sion signed by Governor Poynter. The defect to the title is a constitutional bar, in view of the fact that the l.tte Senator Hayward never had an oppor tunity to take the oath of office. Several of the leading lawyers of Omaha have given the subject serious consideration, and it is understood the matter will be submitted to the legal department at Washington and to the members of the Senate committees on Credentials and Judiciary. The most important opinion is that expressed by Judge James Woliworth, former president of the American Bar Asso ciation, who says: "Although I have not looked up the point recently, it Is my opinion that Hayward was not a Senator at the time of his death. Since he had not duly taken the oath of office, the status is the same as if he had never been elected. The vacancy would, therefore, date from the last session of the Leg islature, and there is doubt whether the Governor has the power to appoint the Senator." State Guard Reorganization. Albany, N. V., Dec. 18.—The State National Guard, which meets here in annual seseion January 24 to discuss plans for the improvement oft he- Guard, will consider the proposed re organization of the militia, as out lined by General Uutterflvld.

Among the proposed amendments to the military code that may be submit ted will be one providing for an in crease of the allowance to batteries anil troops of cavalry for horse hire from sl.r>uO to $2,000 a year. To Install Marconi System. Toledo. Ohio, Dec. 18.—The Ann Ar bor Railroad will put wireless teleg raphy to a practical test by introduc ing it in connection with their car ferry business across Lake Michigan.

BO ABE ALL PENNBYLVANIANS. Philadelphia, Dec. 19.—Republicans, and Democrats as well, have not gotten over celebrating the victory of the Quaker City over all her rivals in the exciting struggle for the Republican national convention. In this movement politics were set aside, and every Phiiadelphian was eager to have the City of Brotherly Love carry off the prize. There is a wonderful amount of public spirit existing among the citizens of this municipality, and it takes but a slight provocation to make it manifest While Philadelphians are especially pleased, there are unmistakable evi dences of the fact that throughout Pennsylvania there is a feeling that the Keystone state has scored a tri umph in the success of the leading city of the commonwealth. T he decision of the national commit tee to bring the convention here Is an other evidence of the growing popular ity of this city, and emphasizes the that if Philadelphia makes up her mind to get a thing she can get it. The intelligent work performed by the ad vance committee, backed by Senator Penrose and the five congressmen from Philadelphia, one from New Jersey and that of the main committee of 100 of Philadelphia's representative public of ficials and business men, all working in unison, brought about the result, which will be most gratifying to our citizens. M'KINLEV'S FAVORITE CITY. Next June will prove to the members of the national committee that when they decided to come to Philadelphia they made no mistake. They will find her people ready to receive them with open arms and a generous hospitality second to no other place in the coun try. The claims of Phifttdeiphia, as set before the committee, will all be proven beyond a doubt. Philadelphia had the honor of the convention which gave Grant a unanimous nomination for his second term, and as things appear at the present writing the convention which will be held within her gates will do the same thing for President McKinley. While it was not to be expected that the president would express an open preference for Philadelphia, yet the fact that this city has been selected will certainly not prove displeasing to him, as he has shown by his actions since he became president that he re cognizes the loyalty of Philadelphia to himself and the principles of the Re publican party. Unless hindered by the pressure of official business, he has al ways accepted Philadelphia's invita tions, and has expressed his pleasure time and again regarding the recep tions accorded him. The work of preparing for the con vention and the entertainment of the delegates has already gotten under way and will be pushed with energy and intelligent and experienced direc tion characteristic of every public spir ited movement that is undertaken In Philadelphia. GREAT CONVENTION HALL. The convention hall will be the larg est auditorium In this country. It will be the main building of the National Export exposition in West Philadel phia. The shallow walls Inclosing the pres ent auditorium will be taken out, thus leaving a hall with solid brick walls ."00 feet long and 295 feet wide. This will give a floor space of 88,500 square feet, with a seating capacity of 18,000. There will be numerous large aisles, and the hall will be free from galleries. The floor will be elevated in tiers, giv ing a full view of the stage from all parts of the hall. It will take less than a month to make the changes, and, after the convention has adjourned, it will require but a comparatively short time and small expenditure to reconvert that section of the buildinp into its present form. This will be re quired for exposition purposes, the ar rangements as they now exist being ex (ellent. It Is estimated that It will cost aboot $35,000 to put the building In the do sired shape. The exterior of the build ings will remain as at present. When alterations are completed there will be a seating capacity of about 16,000, and the stage will seat from 2,600 to 3,000. Extreme care Is to be taken of the acoustic properties of the altered auditorium. STALWARTS DELIGHTED. The leaders of the stalwart Republi cans of Pennsylvania are delighted over the fact that the Republican na tional convention Is to be held In thla city. They appreciate the fact that the men who become delegates to na tional conventions of either the Re publican or Democratic party are, with rare exceptions, firm believers in the principle of adherence to the funda mental rule of party organization that the will of the majority shall prevail and be respected by the minority. The Insurgents of Pennsylvania Republi can politics who, when defeated by popular vote at the regularly called primaries of their own party, proceed to make deals with Democrats, Pro hibitionists and any other elements that will help to defeat the Republican nominees, will have few sympathizers among the delegates to the Republican national convention. "Many of the delegates from differ ent parts of the country will be men who have fought In the ranks of the great Republican army when Colonel M<bew Stanley Quay, as the chair man of the Republican national com mittee, was the field marshal," said Representative Charles E. Voorhees, of this city. "They will be true to their old commander as well as to the princi ples of their party. It will £ot go well with the party wreckers BlfOUld they attempt to play any game to ad vance their cause while the Republican national delegates are in this state. "Republicans everywhere wlllbreathe the air of stalwart party. The atmos phere hereabouts will be charged with stalwart Republicanism and the kicker or the bolter will get scant considera tion for insurgent newspaper addresses and scurrilous attacks upon Colonel Quay and his colleagues in the regular Republican organization of Pennsyl vania." GENERAL REEDER'S PREDICTION. General Reeder, chairman of the Re publican state committee, was in town today. He is delighted over the fact I that the national convention is to bo held here. He was one of the most enthusiastic supporters of the project to have President McKinley renomi nated within the borders of the Key stone state. "Every Republican of Pennsylvania," said General Reeder earnestly, "should he pleased with the fact that the na tional convention is to be held within the confines of our commonwealth. The gathering of leading Republicans from every section of the country in Phila delphia and the enunciation of the principles of the doctrines of the Re publican party by some of the ablest among the recognized leaders of our party cannot but be an Inspiration to every true Republican and an incen tive to labor for the success of the party in the coming campaign. Penn sylvania will certainly show that she appreciates the honor of having an other presidential convention held within her borders, and it is fair to as sume that at the election next Novem ber there will be given the largest ma jorities for the candidates on the Re publican ticket that have ever been re corded in this state." GOVERNOR STONE HONORED. Governor Stone was paid a splendid compliment here last Saturday even ing. A brilliant reception was given In his honor by the Penn club of this city, one of the oldest and most sub stantia! pocial organizations in Phil adelphia. Its membership is composed of representative ihsn in the various professions, lawyers, physicians, edit ors and clergymen, and bankers, mer chants and manufacturers. It is noted for the high character of its member ship. Its receptions are attended by the leading citizens of the community. The reception of Governor Stone was no exception, and that the chief ex ecutive of Pennsylvania is admired and respected by these men of affairs was attested by the unusually large at tendance of the most Influential mem bers and the array of distinguished guests. "Philadelphia," said Governor Stone in commenting upon the national con vention coming to this city, "is an ideal convention city. Its very name implies hospitality, and the hundreds of thousands of citizens from every section of the country who have been guests of the Quaker City upon occa sions of large public gatherings will bear testimony to the fact that her people are generovis and public spirit ed and progressive and liberal. They are as proud of the reputation of their municipality as they are of their coun try, and in the 'iriue world there can be found no more patriotic and law abid ing community, and visitors can be as sured of full protection. All Pennsyl vaniaus will rejoice in Philadelphia's success." The convention of next year will be the twelfth in the history of the Re publican party. The first was held in 1856 in Philadelphia. Chicago cap tured the convention of 1860. Grant was nominated for the first time in 1868 at Chicago. He was renominated here in Philadelphia in 1872. Since then Cincinnati, Minneapolis and St. Loula have each had one convention, while Chicago has entertained the del egates to three separate conventions. Now, after a lapse of 28 years, the con vention returns to Philadelphia and to the east. For more than a quarter of a .'■ltury the west had held its grip upon se q-ndrennial events. It was high ! " t;.Lt the east should have been in SB.OO Dictionary for $2.00 The New Werner Webster's Dictionary. —i- I Newly and magnificently illustrated.
