Chicago, June 17.-The effort to secure & reduced representation of delegate^ to National Republican Conventions luis again failed. By a vote of 2 4 to 17, the committee on rules to-day rejected the Burke reso lution, providing for such reduction, and also, by practically the Bame vote, tabled the Parsons substitute along the same line. - Representa tive Burke and his 16 supporters an nounced that they would Ale a mi nority report. As on yesterday, the main oppo sition came from the Southern States. Alabama, South .Carolina and Mary land bitterly attacked the resolu tions, the delegates from those States taking the same ground as their Southern colleagues who spoke yesterday-that reduction would spell the disruption of the Republi can party In th?? South. They had the support of C?en. Powell Clayton, national committeeman and delegate from Arkansas, who maintained that the resolution was simply a proposi tion Co "crucify the colored man and divide h<s ; aiment among certain States north of the Mason and Dixon line." He argued that the negro was" loyal to the Republican party; but If. he was cast "to the enemy" there waB nothing left to him but to make the best he could with those to whom He had been consigned. "The Democratic party will take every ne gro vote lt can get," he said, "and whenever the negroes commence to vote the Democratic ticket the Dem ocratic party will count their votes i%rth and South." Besides, he said, the proposition was illogical. Negroes Inhaled Deadly Fumes. Raleigh, N.

New York, June 18.-Miss Marian Prances Bloomer, formerly a fiancee of Congressman Nicholas Longworth, President Rt 'seveit's son-in-law, is dead by cyai e poisoning. Accord* ing to the police and the coroner, the acid was swallowed in mistake for water. She diank the fatal draught in the Madison Square apartments. Her brother, J. Ralph Bloomer, % broker, and a maid were with her at the time. Beautifully gowned and wearing her jewels, she entered the bath room after having Choked as Bh? munched a cracker. On the wash stand were two glasses. One con tained water, the other cyanide of potassium. She drank the poison. Bloomer rushed into the room and caught his sister in his arms. The effects of the poison already were ap parent. Hurriedly carrying his sis ter into a bed room, he telephoned for Dr. Forbes Hawkes. The doctor arrived soon, but his efforts were un availing and Miss Bloomer died shortly after his arrival. The ?o ly of Miss Bloomer will be sent to her home in Cincinnati. Tick Eradication Resumed. The Bureau of Animal Industry of the United States Department of Ag riculture is resuming active opera tions for the eradication of the cattle ticks which prevail in the southern part of the country and transmit the contagion of Texas fever of cattle. Its men are being sent into the field and preparations are being made to pusn the work of extermination vlg orougsly during the warm weather, when the ticks are most active. Since the work was begun, two years ago, an area of about 56,000 square miles, or almost the size of the State of Georgia, has been freed from the ticks. As a result the quar antine on Southern cattle has been either modified or entirely removed from this area. Last year work was done to a greater or less extent in th') States of Virginia, North Caro lina, South Carolina, Georgia, Ala bama, Tennessee, Kentucky, Mis souri, Arkansas, Oklahoma, Louisi ana, Texas and California, and it is proposed this year to continue in the same States with the addition of a small portion of Mississippi, Most of the work has been and will con tinue to be done in sections contigu ous to the quarantine line, Hie ob ject being to pusb the line farther South from year to year; but en couragement is given to local work !n any part of the quarantine dis trict in the assurance that when any considerable area Is rendered tick free it wi1.! bs released from quaran tine. The work Is being done by co-ope ration between the Federal Govern ment and the State and local au thorities. Congress has appropriated $250,000 for the year beginning July 1, and it is expected that the States and counties where the work is car ried on will duplicate this sum. The committee on appropriations of the House of Representatives expressed itself very strongly to the eifect that the States should bear a reasonable share of the cost and that the Fede ral work would be mainly confined to States where co-operation is re ceived. Various methods for exterminat ing the ticks are used, including transferring the cattle from pasture to pasture at suitable intervals, and dipping, spraying, and hand dressing the cattle with oil and oil emulsion. In sections where there are large herds and large ranches dipping on a large scale is practiced, either alone or Ln connection with pasture rota tion, while in other sections, where the cattle on some farms frequently consist only r.f a cow or an ox team, hand dressing with oil is found to be the only practicable method. The damage caused by the ticks and the benefits to follow from their eradiation are not generally appre ciated. It is estimated that the Texas fever tick Is responsible for about $40,000,000 of loss annually to the people of the infected country, and that it also lowers the assets of the South by au additional $23,250, 000, making the enormous aggregate of $63,250,000. To wipe out this heavy loss is the object of tho work now under way, and the results al ready accomplished leave no doubt that success ls possible, though a number of years will be required for the completion of the undertaking. Much depends upon the cattle own ers, who can either hasten or retard progress according as they co-operate or refuse to assist In the work.

Dickinson, pastor of the Second Baptist church of Hoboken, In a letter to the newspapers of Hud son county, relative to women's dress, says: "A few years ago it was the low neck. More recently it has been the 'peek-a-boo' waist, the subject of coarse jokes and low conversation the country over. Fashion this year has her slaves shortening their dresses at the other end until they are making themselves objects of side glances and unclean talk on the part of the low-minded men everywhere, especi ally on a windy day. "And now to cap the climax, fash ion has decreed the sheath gown, a dress making so immodest an expos ure of the wearer's form that any re spectable woman ought to be most heartily ashamed to be seen waring it. lu the name of God, I ask-yes, In the name of morality and purity -what are our women coming to?

"They do not run trains so fast in England, because the engineers know too much about their engines," said an engineer who has run an engine In that country. "In England a man has to be a competent machinist be fore he Is allowed to run. "They say that the man who knows all about how an engine is put together, knows how delicate some of its parts are, knows how many dozen and one things there are liable co break at any minute, hasn't the nerve to run ono of them eighty or ninety miles, au hour. "The best engineers are tho ones who don't know tor. much about their engine-just know enough to locate a pounding in a cylinder box or how to unhook her ono side if she breaks a driving rod or something that way. That's a theory at any rate, and I believe lt's pretty nearly right." mtwamam??kwmmms?Bkwm MU. R'KINKVELT LISTENED --, To His Own Big Ovation Transmitted Hy Wire. Chicago, June 17.-lt is said to night that President Roosevelt him self was an actual listener to the wild demonstrations of enthusiasm which greeted his name in the con vention this afternoon. Remarkable ?'S this may seem ls was accounted i./ by the following circumstances. Hanging ten feet above the heads of the delegates and immediately lu front of the platform are four black discs, looped by wires '.'id joined by a small central cable Riding from the hall. Many have wondered at these discs, believing (hem to be a part of the system for electrical dis plays. As a matter of fact they are a combination of Vdephone and pho nograph, taking up the'proceedings ns they occur and transmitting each swell of oratory and each throb of enthusiastic applause. According to the reports to-night one of the wires was cut into the White House early this afternoon, and the President In . person, with the receivers to his ears, caught the words of Lodge as he electrified the vast assemblage and the echoing shouts which ebbed and flowed for full 45 minutes.
