Candidates for Governor and Senator in the Field. LEGISLATORS 70 BE CHOSEN THIS YEAR, PARCELING OUT OFFICES. BALTIMORE, September 27, 1893. Although the successor to Gov. Brown will not be nominated until 18%, and the to Senator Charles H. Gibson will mot be named until the general assembly in January, 1896, several candidates for both places are already in the field and are being laid on all sides to control the democratic party machinery in the in- terest of the different candidates for those places. One-half of the state senators are to be elected this year, and as these gentlemen i and consequently will vote for Senator Gib- son’s successor; hence great interest is taken in these nominations, and the friends of Senator Gibson and the other candidates are at work to secure the placing of men on the tickets who will be friendly to their favorites when the proper time shall have arrived. A majority of those named up to date are believed to be favorable to the re- election of Senator Gibson. The fact that the state machine, under the leadership of Mr. I. Freeman Rasin, is supposed to ve favorable to the re-election of Mr. Gibson has been a great source of strength to the friends of that gentleman and has helped them to win wherever there has been an open fight. All the present indications therefore point to the re-election of Senator Gibson without any serious opposition. Vigorous Fight for Governor. From the present point of view the indi- cations are that there will be a sharp and vigorous contest for the democratic nomina- tion for the governorship in 18%. Several well-known men have already been an- nounced as candidates and their friends are at work preparing the way to their success. ‘The most prominent of the candidates are ex-Mayor James Hodges of Baltimore, ex- Controller Louis Victor Baughman of Fred- erick, State Treasurer Spencer C. Jones of Montgomery, State Senator Thomas G. Hayes of Baltimore city, and State Senator John Walter Smith of Worcester county. All these gentlemen are regular in_ thelr party allegiance and the machine will have @ strong friend in the executive no matter who may be successful. It will place the leaders of the regular or- ganization in a quandary when the time comes to select the nominee to succeed Gov. Brown, owing to the fact that all the candidates so far in the field will claim the ‘support of the machine as due them for past services, and the contest may cause trouble. Treasurer Jones’ friends claim that Sena- tor Gorman will support their candidate— in fact some of them go so faras to say that Senator Gorman has for a long time been under an express promise to aid Mr. Jones in his aspirations, Col. Baughman and his friends deny that Senator Gorman favors Mr. Jones. On the ccntrary they claim that the senior Senator is in favor of the Frederick county states- man for the governorship and will an- nounce his position when the final contest is on. They also claim that Col. Baugh- man will have the support of the entire ‘ier of western Maryland counties, except Montgomery, which county is all they con- cede to Mr. Jones. Ex-Mayor Hodges is, however, considered by many as having the strongest claims for the nomination as well as the strongest backing, and he is therefore believed to have the best chances to succeed Governor Brown. The ex-mayor has been twice a candidate and has twice retired gracefully to give way to others on the ground of party expediency. He will have the active Support in ’% of Mr. I. Freeman Rasin. the boss of Baltimore, who is openly in favor of his nomination, and he will have a strong backing in the eastern shore counties, where he has long been popular among the democrats. Mr. Hodges has also a strong friend in Senator Charles H. Gib- son and the influence of that gentieman will probably be cast in his favor. Regulars and Independents Frater- nize. The most interesting event in the politics of the past ten days has been the deal en- sineered by Mr. John K. Cowen, the leader of the Independent democrats, and Mr. I. Freeman Rasin, the leader of the regulars. For more than a decade the democratic party in Baltimore has been divided into two factions—the regulars, who control the organization and the offices, and the inde- pendents or mugwumps. The two factions | are working together. The regulars and in- | dependents have agreed to bury the hatchet | and will act for the common success of the | party this year, and as a consequence the ticket named contains men who have here- tofore been in deadly opposition to the other men whose names appear on the same ticket. The deal referred to provides for the division of the federal appoint- ments hereafter to be made in this state, and foz the first time in the history of the democratic party in Maryland the inde- pendent or reform faction will secure some of the offices, and Mr. S. Davies Warfield, who was the independent candidate for mayor two years ago, will be supported for postmaster of Baltimore,and Mr. W. L. Mar- bury, who ran as an independent for state's attorney, will be made United States dis- trict attorney for Maryland, and the small- er offices will be divided in the same pro- portion. Some of the independents have kicked vigorously at the deal and have not hesitated to call it a sacrifice of principle, but they are very few in number and are possessed of no great influence. Mayor Latrobe to Run Again. Gen. F. C. Latrobe has been mayor of Baltimore for six terms and has received the nomination for a seventh. As the democratic majority is large he will doubt- less be elected in November. He first be- came mayor in 18%, and has been elected the alternate terms ever since, never before having received a nomination while in office, but only after an intervening term filled by some one else. This year he has broken his record and secured a unanimous renomination while in office. All the improvements of any consequence which have been made in Baltimore have been made while Gen. Latrobe has been mayor. He has devoted his life to the de- velopment and improvement of the city. LAUREL NEws. Danger of Darkness in a Thriving Mary! ad Town. Correspondence of The Evening Star. LAUREL, Md., September 27, 1893. Owing to the silver question now under discussion in the Senate Senator A. P. Gor- man will not be able to attend the world’s | fair, but Mrs. Gorman and daughters, ac- | companied by Mrs. P. C. Gorman, will leave for an extended trip there in a few days. Considerable interest was aroused in our town today by an announcement made by the Electric Light Company of an increase in rates. The charges to private individ- uals have been increased % per cent, mak- ing the price 75 cents per light per month. The company entered into contract with the mayor and city council to furnish 300 lights on the streets for one year at $12 each, which was a remarkably low price. Now some of the stock has changed hands, the old manager resigned, and the new one etected, being a practical electrician, sets forth the plea that no company can fur- nish lights at the rate offered to the people here, and that the price must be increased or the plant suspend. It ts hoped by the citizens that some Satisfactory arrange- ments can be made to continue the plant, as Laurel is the best lighted place In Mary- land now, and to go back to oil lamps will mean to retard the growth of the place. Hon. Jerry Simpson is announced to speak at the single taxers’ meeting to be held here on next Saturday night. One of the candidates nominated at the late conven- tion hetd in Hyattsville is a resident of this place, and was formerly a democrat of some standing before he became imbued with the single tax theory.

THE EVENING STAR: WASHINGTON. D. ©. THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER, 28. 1893—TEN PAGES. IN THE HOTEL CORRIDORS. ‘The fight for the Atlanta postmastership ts on in good earnest, and the two compet- ing candidates were hobnobbing with their [friends about the Metropolitan last night, gentlemen being registered at that are Mr. A. L. Kounts and Fox, both well-known citizens of the Georgia capital. Mr. Kountz was chatting in the lobby with a number of his supporters, including Mr. Blackburn, formerly managing, editor of the Atlanta | Herald, and others, while Col. Fox was also supposed to be doing some quiet work in an effective manner. The office is worth 600 per annum, and Col. J. R. Lewis, the pomed a incumbent, is still drawing that comfortable salary. His four-year term ex- pirel 2 few weeks ago, but as he was not commissioned until near the close of 1889 it is not supposed that he will be displaced immediately. Mr. Kounts, who seems to be taking the Jead in the race, is a pleasant, genial gen- tleman of fine appearance and courtly manners, who is said to be well equipped for the duties of the position. He is a na- tive of Atlanta, his hair just tinged with gray, and speaking of this fact, he added that he lived today in the same house in that city in which he was born. “It is difficult to say now how the contest for the tership will termiaate,” he remarked. “It is not likely that an ap- ointment will be made before Col. Lewis’ commission expires, but I stopped off on my way from Chicago to see how the land it 1s not announced whom Secretary Hoke Smith will favor for the appointment. “Has my bicycle trunk been brought from the depot yet?" asked Mr. L. A. Howell of Chicago at Willard’s yesterday, as the por- ter wheeled in his other luggage. “Yes, my bicycle trunk,” he repeated, in answer to the baggage smasher’s look of inquiry and perplexity. The missing piece was resurrected from the bottom of the pile, and the wheelman proceeded to exhibit to the lookers on something new and novel in the line of bicycle equipment. It had all the outward appearance of a salesman's large sample case, but its interior arrange- ment was quite different, and it contained a splendid new wheel. These cases, or “trunks,” as they are called, are a recent innovation and are of great convenience to cyclers who wish to carry their wheels long distances by rail. “That wheel has traveled 10,000 miles in that trunk without an accident of any kind or even a scratch,” said Mr. Howell. “It travels with the baggage, and the baggage smasher has no terror for me as far as it is concerned; he can’t hurt it. These trunks are quite expensive, as they must be made to order to fit the wheel. This oné cost $150, as much as the wheel itself. The regular trunk makers put them up, but only on orde they are not kept in stock. Some are made to accommodate two wheels, and inside are also arranged recep- tacles for all the paraphernalia of an up- to-date wheelman. I wouldn't be without my bicycle trunk on any account.” And he was on his flyer speeding down the avenue. “When a man puts more than 2% or 30 cents into a cigar he is throwing money away,” remarked Mr. J. J. Levy, a New York tobacco manufacturer, as he lolled against the counter at he National enjoy- ing @ fragrant weed of his own production. “All above that price is paid for workman- ship, not for the quality of the goods. A tobacco worker can make 500 or 600 nickel cigars in the same space of time that is required to turn out 7% or 80 that will re- tail three for a dollar. It is largely this workmanship that the smoker of high- priced cigars pays for. Of course there is @ great difference in the quality of a nickel cigar and a quarter cigar, but the differ- ence between one for 30 cents and one for a dollar is very slight. In the case of the latter a man pays not only for workman- ship but he pays for name and ‘style,’ just as you do when you patronize an ultra- fashionable tailor. Very few men really know anything about judging the quality of a cigar, anyhow. Most of them judge by the price. But, as I said, all the actual value that can be put into a cigar ts from % to 35 cents. All paid above that is wasted.” “It {s strange how ‘M. Quad,’ the quondam funny man of the Detroit Free Press, has disappeared from public view,” remarked Mr. John M. Brewer, a prominent real es- tate dealer of Detroit, who is stopping at the Ebbitt. “He left the Free Press and went to New York two or three years ago and he seems to have gradually lost ‘his identity. Did you ever hear how he first sprang into fame as a humorous writer? He was a@ printer, working at the case— his name is Lewis, you know—and he got blown up in a steamboat accident. He es- caped injury, however, and wrote a very humorous account of the affair, which he sent to\the Detroit paper. It was published and attracted much attention and comment, with the result that Lewis was invited to continue his humorous writings for the Paper. He entered on the work, and his ‘Lime Kiln Club’ sketches and other articles brought him fame quite rapidly. When he went to New York he joined the staff of one of the big dailies, but he seems to have been swallowed up in the multitude.” “I have never before seen such a strange situation in business circles in New York,” remarked Mr. J. J. Little, a leading mer- chant of Fort Smith, Ark., at Willard’s yes- terday. “I have just returned from a purchasing trip there and the business men seem to be almost at a standstill. They do not seem to be making any effort to sell goods. Everything seems to be ‘hanging fire’ awaiting the action of the Senate on the repeal bill. And I want to tell you that if favorable action is not taken in a reason- able time, there will be another panic to which the one of the past summer was not @ ‘marker.’ That was a bankers’ panic, but the next will be a mercantile panic, and it will certainly come if the Senate does not act soon. “As far as the south is concerned,” con- tinued Mr. Little, “the situation is anom- alous. While it has been the hardest sum- mer known since the war, perhaps, the fall finds our people in better condition than in many years. This is explainable by the facts that the merchants were unable to extend the usual credits to the farmers and the crops were therefore made more cheaply and without the creation of the usual amount of debt. Crops generally have been good, and the farmers now find that more of their products are their own than in many years before. “This is my first visit to Washington,” remarked Mr. D. C. Etinge of New York, at the Metropolitan, “and as I entered the city I was struck with one feature which seems distinctively its own. We passed through no dirty, smoky suburbs, but the whole city seems clean. It is a pleasant re- Mef after noting the grimy, uninviting sub- urban districts of most of the eastern cities.” + e+—____-- ‘W. B. Moses & Sons’ annual oriental rug sale occurs next week.

SMALL ARMS FOR THE NAVY. The Government Not to Undertake Their Manufacture. The Cost of the Plant Too Great—Ad- vantage of the Small Caliber Adopted for the Kavy Rife. Some time ago it was thought probable that a new industry might be established at the Washington navy yard as a result of the adoption of a new small arm for the use of the navy, and it was suggested that & shop might be fitted up at the yard with that particular object in view. The mani- fold advantages to the District of such action are so patent as to ren-ler their enu- meration unnecessary. Now, however, that the plan has been entirely abandoned as utterly impracticable it ‘s almost a waste of time to undertake to say what fine re- sults might have been accomplished if the original plan had been carried into effect. Commodore Sampson, chief of the naval bureau of ordnance, has direct supervision of all matters relating to the construction of ordnance for the navy. A Star reporter had a talk with him yesterday and was ‘n- formed in the most positive terms that there was no possibility whatever of the manufacture of the new navul rite by the government. He explained that it would take less than 10,000 arms to equip the entire navy and marine corps and that the estab- Ushment of @ plant for their manufacture would cost more than the burchase of the guns complete from private :irms ulready provided with the necessary plant. He #a! he had also considers1 the possible con- tingency of supplying these arms to the rapidly increasing naval reserve for use cn merchant vessels in the event of war, bit it had not changed his minil as to the advantage, economical and otherwise, of obtaining the rifles ty contract with private firms, who were able, nh» sail, to meet Promptly all demands ‘of that kind. Com- modore Sampson said it was unquestionably true, as a general preposition, that {t woul! be better for the goveramont to manu- facture all the ordnance and ordnance ma- terial it needs, put under existing condi- tions where the goverameat lackei the plant he thougnt i: best that ‘t should make terms with the outside manufacturer, especially where the latter possesses all the facilities and an do the work cheaper than it is possible for the government to do it. ‘The Small Caliber Rifile. ‘The magazine arm adopted for the use of the navy is of .234 callber, said to be smaller than that used by any country in the world. The caliber of the Krag-Jor- gensen rifle, adopted for the use of the army, is .80, and the difference will prevent any interchangeability in ammunition be- tween the two services. Commander Folger, the former chief of the val bureau of ordnance, had recom. mended the provisional adoption of the Krag-Jorgensen gun for temporary put- Doses in the navy if a sufficient number of rifles could be procured from the army fac- tory, but he thought the final choice should be of a rifle “having the qualities of what is known as a repeating arm, rather than {hose, furnished “by a purely magazine ‘The army's breech mechanism may or may not be adopted in the navy. That de- pends on .the tests in which both forelan and American inventors are invited to compete, using their respective breech mechanisms on .284 steel barrels, to be fur- nished free by the Navy Department. But the new caliber {s itself a radical change from the army standard, and the naval board has made it under the conviction that its advantages incomparably outweigh that of employing the same ammunition for the two services, Since the days of the old .45 bore adopted by England and the United States, and the 43 caliber of France, Belgium, Austria, Spain, Holland and Germany, the tendency has been steadily toward decreased cali- bers in magazine arms. When Frahce made a break to the 315 callber a new standard was set, which was followed in the Mannlicher, used in Austria and else- where. But even that was lowered by Eng- land's Lee-Speed, with .308, and Belgium's Mauser, with 301. Then came the selec- tion of ‘our own army caltber of .30, which set a still lower standard. Shortly after- ward Russia adopted the same caliber, and Italy took an advance step to .%6, being followed by Roumania and Holland. Spain and Chile have adopted a rifle of about .275 caliber. Hence the reduction of the caliber of the rifle of our navy to .2&4 may be re- garded as fully in the line of modern pro- gress. Advantages of the Small Bore. Reductions in calfber have produced greater initial velocity, a flatter trajec- tory, greater range and penetration and less shock of recoil, with the additional ad- vantage of allowing a larger number cf rounds to be carried by each man. Among the drawbacks are mentioned the greater difficulties of manufacture, increased cost, greater strain under higher velocities and increased twist of rifling. It is also con- tended that a smaller proportion of the men struck will be put hors du combat, but this is a matter of dispute, and can be settled only by actual experien The naval board, in comparing the .256 caliber with our new army .30, finds that the former is the lighter, and that, as the weight of its bullet is is? grains against 20 for our army bullet, and the weight of the round complete 338 against 410, a muz- ale velocity of 2,39 foot-seconds is secured in the .256 caliber, against only 2,000 in our Krag-Jorgensen gun. This means a flatter trajectory, greater penetration at effective ranges and the carrying of one-fourth more rounds per man. The comparative effect- iveness of the two arms can only be de- termined by practical experience, and 4s this naturally involves the wounding, maiming and killing of human beings it ts hoped that it will be an unsettled question so far as this country is concerned for many years to come. + THE CITY'S HEALTH. Mortality Among Children Slightly Increases the Death Rate. “There were 120 deaths last week as com- pared with 100 in the week previous,” says the weekly report of Health Officer Ham- mett. “The mortality among children un- der five years of age continues to show no @jminution of consequence and thus contrib- utes mainly to the increased death rate. Of the total deaths forty were of this class. The principal causes therefor were maras- mus and infantile debility. Diarrhoeal dis- eases claimed but nine victims, most of which were cases of dysentery. Malarial maladies show a material increase over the preceding report. There were eleven of these in fatal form as against three the week before. “The lull in the attacks upon the pul- monary organs which prevailed during the summer was suddenly broken by the re- ports of eleven deaths from acute lung dis- eases, of which five were from pneumoni: This result, however, may only be a trai sient coincidence. Diphtheria presents a tendency to decrease, there having been eleven cases reported as against the former report of fourteen. Scarlet fever seems to have almost wholly disappeared, as well as the whole class of eruptive contagioug dis- eases and whooping cough.” ‘The report shows: Number of deaths, 120; white, 64; colored, 56. Death rate per 1,000 per annum: White, 17.1; colored, 32.3; total population, 21.9. Fo: ty were under five years of age, 27 were un- der one year old, and 16 over ‘sixty years.

His Views on the Currency Stated t Governor Northen. Gov. Northen of Georgia has received a letter from Mr. Cleveland in which the Pres- ident states his position on the financial question at some length. The letter is in reply to one written by Gov. Northen on the 15th instant. The gov- ernor refuses to give his letter out for pub- Ucation, but it is known that it presented @ graphic condition of the political situation in Georgia and the south, and urged upon the President the expediency of a public utterance from him more comprehensive than his recent message as to the proper Policy to be pursued by Congress upon ques- tions affecting the stringency of the times and the needs of the people. He dwelt es- pecially upon the financial condition and political unrest of the farmers of the south, who constitute so great a proportion of the [ ¢) democracy. The President’s Reply. ‘The President's reply is dated September 25 and is as follow: I hardly know how to reply to your letter of the 15th instant. It seems to me that I am quite plainly on record concerning the financial question. My letter accepting the nomination to the Presidency, when read in connection with the message lately sent to the Congress in extraordinary session, appears to me to be very explicit. I want currency that is stable and safe in the hands of our people. I will not knowingly be im- plicated in a condition that will justly make me in the least degree answerable to any laborer or farmer in the United States for @ shrinkage in the purchasing power of the dollar he has received for a full dollar's worth of work, or for a good dollar's worth of the product of his toil. I not only want our currency to be of such a character that all kinds of dollars will be of equal purchasing power at home, but I want it to be of such a character as will demonstrate abroad our wisdom and good faith, thus placing us upon a firm foundation and credit among the nations of the earth. 1 want our financial conditions and the laws relating to our currency so safe and reassuring that those who have money will spend and invest it in business and new enterprises, instead of hoarding it. You cannot cure fright by calling {t fool- ish and unreasonable, and you cannot pre- vent the frightened man from hoarding his money. I want good, sound and stable money, and @ condition of confidence that will keep it in_use. Within the limits of what I have written I am a friend of silver, but I believe its Proper place in our currency can only be fixed by a readjustment of our currency leg- islation and the inauguration of’a consistent and comprehensive financial scheme. I think such a thing can only be entered upon Profitably and hopefully after the repeal of the law which is charged with all our finan- cial woes, In the present state of the public mind, this law cannot be built upon, nor patched in such a way as to relieve the sit- uation. I am therefore opposed to the free and unlimited coinage of silver by this country alone and independently; and I am in favor of the immediate and unconditional repeal of the purchasing clause of the so-called Sherman laws I confess I am astonished by the oppost- tion in the Senate to such prompt action s would relieve the present unfortunate ituation. My daily prayer ts that the delay oc- casioned by such opposition may not be the cause of plunging the country into deeper depression than it has yet known, and that ‘the democratic party may not be justly held responsible for such a catastrophe. Yours very truly, GROVER CLEVELAND. —s0+ KILAUEA’S FIERY FOUNTAINS. A Grand Dispiny in the Crater of the Principal Hawaiian Volcano. From the Hawattan Star. By the arrival of the Kinau this morning the news has been received of the over- flow of the volcano of Kilauea. The fol- lowing details are obtained from Philip Peck, the Hotel street importer, who visited the volcano on Friday last in company with Superintendent of Public Works W. E. Rowell: The volcano has been constantly increas- ing in activity for a week past, and was particularly lvely on Thursday evening, when as many as fifteen magnificent foun- tains of fire were sent up at one time from the bubbling and seething mas: These fiery columns were so high as to be seen from the veranda at the Volcano House, two miles distant. The sight from that place on Thursday night was indescribably grand, and is said never to have been equaled in former years. On Friday evening, when Messrs. Peck and Rowell made their visit, the fountains were still playing, but were ‘not so high or large as on the previous night. Both gentle- men went to the very edge of the burning lake, which at that time was more than full, the molten lava in the center being fully two feet higher than at the edges. Mr. Peck described the immense lake as being in a similar state to a glass of water which is more than full and yet does not overflow. At times the burning mass would slop over in places and flow into the main pit ten or fifteen feet below, but a new crust would soon form and the flow stop. Mr. Rowell had a narrow escape from one of these sudden overflows, but got out of the way in time. Both gentlemen speak of the scene as most magnificent and in- describable in its grandeur. On Saturday night the volcano was in the same condition as on the previous one, commenced to overflow in a steady stream. On Sunday about 7 p.m. the entire walls fell in, and the lake itself has spread out to the full extent of the pit, and now forms a molten mass about one-half by one- third of amile in extent. After the break down the lava was very attractive.the foun- tains and columns being more violent than ever. ‘The view from the hotel was then marvelous. From another source it is learned that a sharp shock of earthquake was felt at the volcano on Sunday night, and more or less throughout the entire island, although at Hilo it was scarcely perceptible. ——_—§_+oe—____. ‘W.

Last Friday night, an hour or two after midnight, Capt. Gardin, the new captain of the Capitol police, wandered up to the Capitol with the intention of taking u look around the interior. He knew that if he should get lost in the gloomy ani deserted corridors of the big building he would have no trouble in being rescued, as a lieutenant of police and five privates were on duty— or ought to be at least—in the portion of the Capitol he intended to visit. So he walked boldly into one of the open en- trances, expecting to be saluted by a vigilant and attentive policeman. But he wasn't. | Instead of hearing a challenge to halt, his ears were greeted with a sound that was suspiciously like a snore. He listened as if unwilling to credit his ears, but became con- vinced. The able watchdog of the Capitol was curled up in his chair, sleeping the sleep of the innocent. Several others of the force were also found asleep. The lieu- tenant was suspended and the whole matter reported to the committee having charge of the police force, the sergeants-at-arms of the Senate, of the House and the architect. This committee held an investigation yes- terday and after weighing the facts decided to let the matter drop with a reprimand to the IHeutenant and a warning to all hands not to sleep on their posts. It 1s under- stood that all of the delinquents were old members of the force.

EDUCATIONAL CHANCES Offered by 2 Few of the City’s Insti tions, Washington has already gained its repu- tation as one of the great educational cen- ters of the world.

Here are a few well-known schools: The two new courses of study in finance and economics offered to the public this year in the Corcoran Scientific School of the Columbian University meet an educational need of the day. These are the subjects of present, actual, general interest. A knowl edge of them concerns everybody.

The public is promised a treatment of hese old subjeets, fresh, practical, perti- nent to the issues of our limes. These courses are a clear and important addition to the educational advantages of- fered by this popular school.

An unsuccessful move was made to cen- Sure Senator Don Cameron at the annual meeting yesterday of the State League of Republican Clubs at Reading, Pa. The fight was made in the committee on reso- lutions, and was of such a persistent na- ture that the session of the committee was prolonged an hour and a half before the platform was adopted. Senator Cameron was sharply criticised for his attitude on the silver question by several members of the committee, and Charles Howell of Allentown offered a res- elution denouncing the Senator for dis- obeying the instructions of the state plat- form to support the silver repeal bill. This was defeated by a vote of 17 to 8, as was also the following resolution: Y ves of the republi- can clubs of Pennsylvania, emphatically commend to the attention ‘of our Repre- sentatives in Congress the instructions contained in the state platform on the ques- tion of the day. The platform, as presented by the com- mittee and adopted by the convention, con- tains no direct reference to Senator Cam- eron, but it indirectly deprecates his posi- tion on sliver by indorsing the state plat- form as adopted at Harrisburg and con- gratulating the party upon “the fact that once again the republicans in Congress saved the day for honest money.” The platform adopted reaffirms “‘stead- fast devotion to the principles of the re- publican party, protection and reciprocity, honest money and honest baliot,” and serts that the democratic party is respon sible for the closed factories, the broken banks, loss of confidence, and financial ills through which the nation is now passing. The Tucker bill for the repeal of the elec. tion laws is denounced as “a stab in the back of free institutions.” One of the delegates suggested that a copy of the platform: be sent to Senator Cameron, which was agreed to amid cheers.

She Has Never Left the House im|The Treasery Circular Said te Have Which He Died. Mrs. Charles Stewart Parnell still lives in the house where her husband died. No. 11 Walsingham Terrace, Brighton, was occu- pied by Mr. Parnell for several months pre- vious to his marriage to Mrs. O'Shea on June 2, 1891, and while that lady was tiving at No. 8 in the same row. At Brighton Par- nell found entire rest from the anxieties of his leadership and cool relief from the an- noyances of his enemies. It is a charming spot in which to forget the heat and tur- moll of the city.

Still in Mourning. Mrs. Parnell has remained there ever since. She was confined to her bed, se- riously, even dangerously ill, until the Ist of November fol'owing. The house has E generally drawn and a pretty box of flow- ers is disclosed. The houses at the best in Walsingham Terrece have not an inviting appearance, but that occupied by Mrs. Par- neil ta, perhaps, the niost somber of them al The household of Mrs. Parne' consists of three female servants, a coachman, four horses, two dogs and, if it is permissible to include, two carriages. The pass through the front door, and it is doubtful if it is opened once > Parnell herself never walks tant, turning into @ back country road, re- turning through the city of Brighton and then along the front again to her own house, where she is lost to sight for an- other two weeks. ‘This has been the nature of the widow's life since the death of Parnell. She has no amusements, no diversions, enters into none of the social incidents of the neighbors, seems to be, and authentic report says she is, heart-broken and inconsolable over the loss of the man she loved and with whom she hoped to consecrate her life. Reltes of the Dead Lender. The interior of the house is filled with mementoes of the dead leader. His hat and coat hang upon the hall rack where he last placed them, his desk is open and the papers he handled and laid there just be- fore he died are still in the same spot, an Irish newspaper is where carelessly thrust by him into his coat pocket as he entered his house on that memorable night of Oc- tober 3, 1891, when he returned from Dub- lin and’ contracted a cold crossing the Irish sea that four days later resulted in his death. His cane is where he stood it, his shoes where he threw them, his clothes hang on their accustomed ‘hook—every- thing, with one exceptino, is as it was the last night of his life. ‘The one addition that has been made is a letter framed and hung on the wall beside the desk. It is a brief writing, but it has a most interesting history. It is a note written by Parnell to his mother, Delia Stewart Parnel', at Borden- town, N. J., and sent by him'to her only two days before his death. In the then condition of his mind he misd! the envelope, and a few days after th it was returned to his widow for better ad- dress, and she framed it and has kept it as his last writing. ‘The letter reads: “I am weary, dear mother, of these troubles, weary unto death, but it is all &@ good cause, and with help and the assist. ance of my friends I am confident of result. The statements of my enemies often made regarding my relations with you are on a par with the endless calum- nies they shoot out at me from venom. Indeed it would be dignifying them to notice their existence.” ‘The furnishing throughout is tasteful and artistic. There is no noticeable evidence of wealth, but there is every indication of ample means for the gratification of a re- fined taste. The commodious apartments, the broad halls, the spacious stairways, roomy landings and generally the atmos- phere of comfort and rest that one meets at once upon closing the door indicate the superlative satisfaction which must have ailed in that home when Parnell was at is best, when, just after his marriage, he said to a reporter he had never been so happy and so contented in his life.
