WASHINGTON , Feb. 27. The ropubllcar of the south , according to tholr represent ; liven In congress , will strenuously oppos the proposition of Chairman Carter of tli republican national commltteo to change th plan of organization for tlio next natlom convention. Two plans were discussed c the meeting of tlio.-oxecutlvi ; committee I Washington , : ia the culmination ot the ng latlon which ban been going on for som tlmo among northern republicans , based o the Idea that ns the south gives rcpubllca candidates no electoral votes , It Is nllowc undiio Inlliienco In tho. nominating con vontlon. Ono ot these plans Is to allow on delegate for every 7,000 votes cast for th republican candidate In the preceding presl dentlal election ; the other proposition Is t continue the present representation of tw delegates for each congressional district an allow an additional delegate for every 7,00 votes. Either nyatonv would materially re duce the representation of the souther states. The nrgumontB against the change wor sulllclently represented today by Reprcscnta tlvo Thomas Settle of North Carolina , th only republican member from the south no\ In the city , who In prominent In the politic of lil.H state , and -whoso father was u leadln southern republican. Said Mr. Settle : "Th southern republicans will bo unalterably op posed to the change , nnd I think It very un wlso and Impolitic to agitate the matter a this time. It Is nn unjust and unfriend ) ; blow aimed at southern republicans- thol northern brethren , Juit at this time whei thu democratic party bus repudiated It pledges , made through the medium of It state platforms In every southern state fo the lust fifteen or twenty years , to enac a law for the free am unlimited coinage of silver as soon as the ; came Into power nationally and whllo the ; nro waging unrelenting war on sotithon Interests and resources In their proposei tariff legislation , It seems that wisdom wouli suggest that It was tlmo to extend a hclphif hand to southern republicans rather thai strike them a blow. Wo light against odd ! to whioh northern republicans are strangers The cnforcBiiient of unjust election laws ills franchises tens of thousands ot rcpubllcat voters In the south. It would bo a strangi proceeding , ono not In keeping with the his tory and traditions ot the party , to endorsi these election laws and democratic methods by denying these dtafRinclitaed republicans a- voice in nominating conventions. This li done if wo arc only accorded representatloi upon the basis of votes returned or aptuallj cast. The republican party has always protested - tested against democratic suppression ot republican - publican votes In the south , yet some of Its leaders propose to deny us representation Ir party- councils , just In proportion UH wo art denied the right of voting by democratic chicanery and fraud. "Acting under the advice of northerr leaders wo ran no electoral ticket in Alabanu at the last election that the populists might ! f possible , overpower the democrats. There are other Instances of the same sort , yet II the proposed plan Is carried out such a course , when takun ; for the Interests of the party , would cut down our representation In conventions. Another argument against the change proposed by Chairman Carter la thai It Avould Increase , the number delegates lnttonventlon , while in tlio past1 the weakesl point In conventions has been that they were too large. .

The court of I qulry ordered by the secretary of the na to Investigate the wreck of tha Koarsar on Roncadar reef reconvened In the con martial room of the Brooklyn navy ya today. There was ono extraordinary sec to mark the day's proceedings. Capta Heyorman broke down while telling t story of the wreck nnd the court room w cleared until ho could control his emotion. The first witness was Rear Admiral Staten ton , who told In detail the Htory ot the Kca Barge's voyage from the tlmo she sail from Port au I'rlnco until she struck i Roncador' reef. The witness described t ; manner In whlcli the olllcers and the ere left the vessel , ns already told In the print accounts. ' Then Captain Hoycrman was called. Aft stating , In reply to the judge advocate , th the reports printed In the press were su stantlally accurate , ho was asked It he hi saved any of the ship's records , particular the "rough" and "smooth" log books. ] made two attempts , " said he , "after the vd sol-struck to suvo the log books , as well i the night order book , knowing that tin would bo wanted as" exhibits In the 1 vestlgatlons , which I know would follow , wan , however , only able to safe my life. " Captain Hoyerman lilent'jlled eovcr charts \vhlch had been In use on board tl Kcarsarge. Ono was an English chart the Roncador bank , and was Issued from tl hydrographlc otllco at Washington. It wi corrected up to 1892. Questioned as to his confidence In tl chrats and Instruments on board the Kca sarge , ho said : "I had no doubt as to tl accuracy of the charts nnd the Instrumen on board. The night snxtant was a lltt out ot gear , but the other Instruments wo In perfect condition. " Captain Iloyorman , answering Judge A' ' vocato Kelly's questions , said ho had bet In the navy slnco 1SC1 and had commandi the Yiintle , Kearsargo nnd Ponsacola. The reverting to the day of the wreck , Capta Heyorman described the condition ot tl weather and the currents for the half doze hours previous to tlio Kearsargo strlklr on tlio reef. Ho received the report ot tl navigator at Intervals. The latitude w taken by the ship's running. "I was BUI the Kearsargo was so far to the north i Roncador reef that I was well clear of I the topgallant yards a I had lockouts on the afternoon , and at 5:20 : sent an ollici aloft to make sure there was no danger I sight. The oulcer reported everything wi all right. " The breakers wcro first reported at Gf : o'clock. At that time Admiral Stantoi Captain Hoyerman and tli the navigator , olllcer of the day were on deck. " \ \ lit " asked the judge ai wust the discrepancy , vocato , "between the point where you reall wore nnd where you thought you were whe the ship struck ? " "About six miles to the southward an four miles to the eastward of the poll where I supposed we were from our reckor IIIK , " was Heyermun's reply. The witness than corroborated the test mony given by Admiral Stunton as to hi orders immediately after the Kcarsarg struck. There was , according to Captal tleycrman , an Interval of only two minute it most between the sighting of the whit water and the shock of striking on the rec The commander told bow the Kearsarg was abandoned after it was seen she wu loomed. Ho also described the marine In which Seaman Anderson Robins lost hi life while trying to wade from the outc reef to the main key. Then hoi gave In di tall the story of , the encampment on th key and the boarding of tlie wreck to ot tain provisions and the unsuccessful share for the night order book : II6' gave a vlvl Jcscrlptlon of the camp life and the crud lilll of faro .during the stay on the key. Th irrlval of the City of Para and the ombarka tlon of the Kearsarge's orows were- also Ir terestlngly recounted by Heyerman. Discovered u Hiiro "Mumisc-rlpt. SAN FRANCISCO , Fob. 27.
