DISCUSSING WORK OF COMMITTEES General Apprehension of the Ap- proach of a Crisis. ge LOOKING FOR A BOLT CHICAGO, July 8.—The second day of the democratic national convention opened bright and cool, with the continuance of that refreshing breeze which makes the work of the day endurable, and has given delegates a chance to sleep with comfort under blankets during the scant hours al- lotted to rest. It has been ideal weather since the ad- vance guards arrived last week. The crowds down town and about the conven- tion hall showed no diminution today, but there was less of furore and demonstration than there had been. The personal ele- ment surrounding candidates had given Place to that tense feeling over the issue between gold and silver forces as it neared its culminating point. Moreover, there appeared to be the lack of that per- sonal magnetism among candidates which inspires convention crowds to genuine en- thusiasm. The shouters seemed to rest content with the showing already made, and are allowing the workers to settle down to serious business. The crowds were moving toward the Coliseum early in the day, as the time of meeting was 10 o'clock, and the experience of yesterday warned people that time and patience were required in gaining admis- sion. Sergeant-at-arms Martin promised an im- provement on yesterday's arrangements. He has been the most abused man in Chi- cago since the wild rush appeared at the opening, and reports were current that he would be superseded when the permanent organization was perfected. There was the prospect, also, of a coup d’main by the |. silver forces in throwing open the conven- tion doors to the public. This had been seriously discussed at the Meeting of the committee on rules last night, when it was pointed out that hun- dreds of seats in the rear of the main floor and the galleries were unoccupied yester- day, although the silver leaders had striven vainly to secure a quota of tickets com- mensurate with their strength in the con- vention. The committee appointed Senator Money and General St. Clair to confer with Chairman Harrity early today, and the threat was made that if a liberal dis- tribution of tickets did not follow the doors of the convention hall would be thrown open to the democracy. Looking for the Crisis. The day promised to be one to bring the crisis on the floor of the convention which all have so long anticipated. All of the events last night, and extending far into the early hours today, marked the near approach of the culminating point. The order of business adopted by the rules com- mittee was such that after the induction of the permanent presiding officer, Senator White of California, the first business would be the report of the credentials committee, embracing the bitter contest over Michigan; then the report of the plat- form; next the speeches placing candidates in nomination, and, finally, the balloting. The choice of Senator White gave uni- versal satisfaction, even the gold men con- ceding his fitness as a presiding officer. He has a voice of that vibrant timbre which carries without the slightest effort. He is not demonstrative or oratorical, but his diction is choice, and he has a command of parliamentary procedure which gives lu- cldity to his decisions. He is in the vigor of middle life, with the robust physique which adds force to his other attainments. The Michigan Case. ‘The report on the Michigan case was to be the signal for opening the condlict to- day. Two reports were ready. That from the majority seated cignt of the silver contestants, thereby giving a total of twen- ty silver men out of the twenty-eight in the Michigan delegation, and under the unit rule, swinging the entire twenty-eight into the silver column. The minority report favored the retention of the eight gold delegates, who had thus far held the balance of power under ihe unit rule in keeping the twenty-eight votes of Michigan in the gold column. ‘he Issue on the two reports involved intense per- sonal feeling, in which charges were made that federal offices had been bartered to control the Michigan state convention. There was every indication that this per- sonal element would be aired on the floor of the convention, and that the question of federal influences would be brought in for that severe criticism which has thus far proceeded behind closely guarded doors. Such was the feeling over this contest that it promised to take much time, and possibly to crowd other business late into the day. It was also regarded by many as furnish- ing the opportunity to the gold men to leave the convention, on the grounds that the silver forces were riding over them rough shod. Contest on Platform. The contest on platform also promised another hested debate. There had never been a doubt that the silver men would in- ject 16 to 1 into the platform, but as the result of the meeting of the committee on platform last night there was now added several new personal elements. These in- ciuded the declaration against issue of bonds in time of peace, and an arraignment of selling bonds to foreign purchasers. The national bank question was also involved in the proposal of the majority to limit the right of national banks to issue -notes. Added to this was the proposel for a con- stitutional amendment which would permit Congress to enact an income tax. Outside of these economic features, the plank commending Senator Hill's bill regu- lating punishment in contempt cases offer- ed a field for debate, as it grew out of the arrest of Eugene V. Debs and other labor organizers during the great Chicago strike. No doubt exlsted that the silver men would adopt the majority report on platform wken a vote was finally reached, and a majority, instead of two-thirds, was sufficient to adopt. But before this vote was reached a heated debate was expected, which would present all of those contentions which have thus far been urged outside the conveation hall. With these contests over Michigan and the platform ahead, the leaders felt much doubt whether the balloting on candidates would begin today, although there was a slight prospect that some uf the nominat- ing speeches might be made at a night ses- sion. Talk of a Bolt. The talk of a bolt was renewed as a result of the-mecting of prominent New York men last night. This had brought out expres- sions from ex-Governor Flower and Mr. Coudert to the effect that the time for ce- cisive action was at hand. : Ex-Secretary Whitney counseled caution, and urged that no decisive step should be taken until delegates had un opportunity to confer with their constituents. What the final determination would be was still open to conjecture, and much depended upon the manner in which the Michigan contest was conducted and the platform adopted. If these went through with a suggestion of THE OFFICIAL EXPLANATORY NOTE: Observations tnken at 8 bars, or lines of equal alr pressure, drawn for each tenth of an inch.

Weather conditions and general forecast. —A storm of considerable energy appeared on the east gulf coast Tuesday afternoon, and has advanced inland, being now cen- tral in northern Georgia. Rainfall of from two to five inches occurred throughout the east gulf states. This storm will probably advance northeastward along the Atlantic coast, causing heavy rains as far as south- ern New England. The weather is generally clear in the cen- tral valleys and the west. ‘The temperature has fallen in the middle Atlantic states and risen slightly in the lower lake region and New England. Clearing weather is indicated in the south Atlantic states Thursday and rain in the north Atlantic states. Fair weather will continue in the lower lake region, the Ohio and lower Mississippi valleys and the south- west. ‘The temperature will rise slowly in the east gulf states.

Among the presidential candidates there was but little change. The leading candi- dates seemed to have reached thcir full strength and to have come to a standstill. The efforts of the Bland leaders to win over southern delegations had not proved as £u cessful as was hoped, as Alabama, M sippi and Georgia were standing out against the movement. The Boies men were in some confusion over the split in the Iowa delegation, which was manifested on the first call of states yesterday. Teller appeared to be profiting by the failure of the Bland men to win solid southern support. The ‘eeling still pre- vailed that it was any one’s race, and that dark horses must be watched. aes ANOTHER ACCIDENT. Serious Fall of a City Post Workman, Another item was added to the already long list of casualties at the city post office this morning about 10 o'clock, when Lewis J. Palmer, an irunworker, forty- seven years of age and residing at 629 L street northeast, fell from the first story to the basement, a distance of thirty-two feet. He was picked up by his fellow-work- men and taken to the Emergency Hospital, where it was found that he had sustained several bad abrasiors of the skin on the ight side of the body, although no bones were broken. After these were dressed Palmer expressed the opinion that he was all right but for a severe pain under the arm and extendirg down to his walst, which may indicate internal injuries. He says that he was unconscious for soine time after his fall, but the doctors at the hospital do not expect any serious result to the accident. —_——__ Rev. Rufus Ward Hufford, D. Rey. Rufus Ward Hufford, D. D., one of the speakers at the Luther Memorial Church this evening, is pastor of St. Mat- thew’s Lutheran Church, Reading, Pa. Dr. Hufford is a native of Ohio, a graduate of Wittenberg College and Seminary at Spring- field, Ohio. He received the honorary de- gree of doctor of divinity from his alma rater. His ministerial life of twenty years has been passed in Pennsylvania. The society 1s particularly strong in Pennsyl- vania, and Dr. Hufford has done much to popularize it in his denomination. Office ———— “How Do You Do.” From the New York ‘fribune. In “A Parisian in America” M. de Sols- sons says: “Two Americars meeting ac- cost one another with a ‘How do you do?’ immediately followed by the inquiry, ‘How’s business?” We Frenchmen say, ‘Comment yous portez vous? (How do you carry yourself?), because we care so much about our appearance; in fact, we are the. most vain nation in the world. The Germans say, ‘Wie geht’s Ihnen? (How goes it with you?), and, indeed, they do go very slow, .but sure. The Italians, ‘Come staté?’ (How do you stay?) And you know how they aay capecially in these days with their ermy and finances. The Russians, ‘Kak pagiviyetyeh?’ (How do you live?), because they are so fond of good material living. But the Anglo-Saxons say, ‘How do you do? because all their faculties are con- centrated upon their work, upon hard work from morning till night; that is the secret of their prosperity. The American says still more; he asks immediately about busi- ness. They do not care about their health, about their living; their great care is about business; they kill themselves with hard work, they neglect their physical and men- tal life, but they make business flourishing and booming.” ———__+e+___—_ Unrewarded Honesty. From the New Orleans Times-Democrat. Every one around the Illinois Central city ticket office was talking about the finding of the $50 gold watch and ‘“‘Honest” Brad- ley, who returned it. Bradley was getting a@ good deal of praise for his honesty, but he remarked that he would have preferred a half dollar. “This case reminds me of a similar one when I was a railroad conduc- tor,” said one of the old timers. “It was in the early days of Pat Hill; you know, every one remembers Pat. In fact, a short time ago he was still braking on the Louisville and Nashville between here and Mobile. Well, he was riding on my train, and he found by the end of his seat a roll of bills, amounting to $5,000. Pat was too honest to put the money in his pocket, so he hunt- ed about until he found the man who had lost {t and returned the money. The owner handed him a half dollar.” —_+-2+_ A Question of Economy. From the Chicago Tribune. “If you would give this squalling infant a dose of paregoric or soothing sirup, Lo- belia,” protested Mr. McSwat, who was walking the floor at 2:30 am. with his youngest, “I could get some sleep. The medicine costs only a quarter of a dollar a bottle, and my time is worth $2.50 an hour, to say nothing of the misery I’m suffer- eS our time,” retorted Mrs. McSwat, “may be worth that during the day, but it isn’t worth a cent an hour in the middle of the night. What would you be earning if you were sleeping, I'd like to know? Keep on walking, Billiger. You're doing excel- lently. HEALTH REPORTS FROM CUBA. No Cholera There, but Plenty of Yel- low Fever and Smallpox. The latest issue of the public health re- Ports, the official publication of the marine hospital service, contains a ‘number of im- portant announcements in "regard to the Prevalence of contagious diseases in Cuba. Under date of June 15, 1896, the United States consul at Cardenas reports that there were 3 cases of yelcwifever—1 fatal— during the week ended*gund 13, The Unit- ed States consul at fGegos reports 4 deaths from yellow @evee and G4 from smallpox in that city déing the week end- ed June 21, 1896.

There were also 21 Sara ths: from sm: during the same poring ee aos The United States consul at Matanzas re- ports that during the week ended June 24, 1896, there were 56 cases of yellow fever and 42 deaths therefrom in Matanzas, He adds: “*All cases of yellow. fever are con- puesto the Spanish troops; no cases in the arbor.” In reply to a cablegram from this office askirg for confirmation of a report of cholera in Matanzas, the consul wired on June 28 as follows: “No cholera here. Yellow fever prevalent among the troops. One case of smallpox reported in the city. The United States commercial agent at Lagua la Grande, under date of June 9, Wrote thus: “In forwarding sanitary report for the veek ended the 6th instant, in which are reported 17 cases and 3 deaths from yellow fever, I have the honor to say that, from credible information, this offi- clal report does not show the extent of the ravages of yellow fever. During the week referred to the deaths from yellow fever, confined almost exclusively to the troops, reached over thirty.” Under date of June 15, 1896, the consul reports that there were 41 cases of yellow fever and 4 deaths therefrom in Sagua la Grande during the week ended June 13. Acting Consul Hyatt, at Santiago de Cuba, writing June 13, says: “Dr, H. S. Caminero, sanitary inspector, United States marine hospital service, here, has assured me that there are over 1,000 cases of small- pox in this clty. There are a number of families down with it within 200 feet of the consulate. From information I glean that the whole south coast of Cuba, from Clen- fuegos to Baracoa, is infected with small- pox, and I have the honor to notify you to this effect, so that quarantine officers in the United States may be put on their guard and prevent the transmission of the disease to our cities.” Dr. Caminero, at the same post and writ- ing under the same date, sends a weekly report, es follows: “Eighty-four deaths have been recorded, of which 81 were from smallpox, 7 from yellow fever, 1 from ty- phold fever, 5 from remittent fever, 8 from pernicious fever, 10 from enteritis, 8 from tuberculosis and the rest from common dis- eases of non-contagious character. Small- pox under an epidemic form is raging with reat violence, the confluent and hemor- Thagic form predominating, the great ma- Jority of the cases not having been vacci- nated. Yellow fever fs also increasing, 7 deaths being reported this week. I have no doubt it will keep on augmenting as the temperature rises. The heat is very high just now, cbout 95 degrees F. in the shade. Summer diarrhoea prevails to a great ex- tent, especially among children. A report from Manzanillo states that 25 persons have died from smallpox during the last two weeks. Guantanamo, also, is-full of smallpox patients, and the mortality is very high. There hag been a cholera scare, but it turned out to be a case of pernicious fever, which took that form.” A week later Dr. Caminero reported for the week: The total number of deaths was 86. Of these, 89 were from smallpox, 5 from yel- low fever, 1 from typ) ver, 8 from re- mittent fever, 5 from iclous fever, 12 from entetocolitis and’ he&rest from com- mon diseases of non-centggious character. Smallpox is now raging’ ¢pidemically, the total number of cases far as known reaching up to about 900.%The authorities and citizens are doing SH iii their power to prevent Its ravages as fat $8 possible. Yel- low flags will be placed’on the houses where smallpox patients are located to warm citizens away, aa mmissions and committees have cic ized to succor the poor pone eer td food. Yellow T is also on the in this week, and affectio#s of the intestin®h canal are very commor. Malaria, as ugual, is causing many deaths.

From the Weely Telegraph, A young contralto who is already known for her glorious voice was engaged at a Handel concert which Sir Joseph Barnby was conducting. At the end of a solo she put in a hgh note instead of the less ef- fective note usually sung. This innovation shocked the conductor, and he immediately asked whether Miss thought she was right in trying to improve upon Handel. “Well, Sir Joseph,” said she, “I’ve got an E, and I don’t see why 1 shouldn't show it of ‘Miss ~"” rejoined Barnby, “I believe you have two knees, but I hope you won't show them off here.” ——— WEATHER MAP. WENT TO WINDSOR FINANCIAL Washington The Queen Reviews Boston's Ancient and Honerahle, Loan and Trust Co. MR. BAYARD BOWED 10 EVERYBODY The Variegated Boston Artillery- men Lunched There. It WAS A GREAT TIME LONDON, July 8-—Shortly before 10 o'clock the Ancient and Honorable Artil- lery of Boston formed to march to Water- loo station on their way to Windsor. When the artillery band finished playing “The Star Spangled Banner,” the Salem Cadet Band played “God Save the Queen,” and the whole Massachusetts detachment saluted. With a mass of flags carried un- furled in their center, the artillerymen then started in company formation, four abreast, headed by the artillery band and the Salem Cadet Band, for the railroad station, both bands playing military music. The route to the station was densely li1ed with spectators, apd they all uncovered when the American flags passed. There was audible praise for the visitors on all sides, the smart appearance of the men and their striking uniforms being perticu- larly admired. All traffic was stopped along the line of route, and at different places there were cheers for the visitors from across the sea. Received by the Mayor. Col. Walker, with drawn sword, marched at the head of the American detachment, which reached Waterlvo slation at about 10 o’clock and siarted for Windsor at 10:30. The artillerymen traveled in a newly-bullt corridor train, and were accompanied by the traific superintendent of the ratiroad. They reached Windsor at 11 o'clock, and were reccived by the mayor and corpora- tion, why» presented an address of welcome, which Col. Walker briefly acknowledged. The guard of honor at Windsor station was furnished by the Berkshire Regiment. The Americans presented a very fine ap- pearance as they were drawn up on the platform listening to the address of the mayor of Windsor. The latter expressed the pleasure experienced by the inhabitants of Windsor at the visitor of such a “‘dis- Unguished party of our brethren across the sea.” He extended to them the heartlest welcome and expressed the hope that their visit would tend to promote peace and con- cord between the two nations and further the movement to settle their differences by arbitraticns. This sentiment brought forth hearty cheers. Col. Walker's Response. When Colonel Walker received the mayor's address he saluted and thanked him, saying that the Bostonians had not ccme to England as strangers, but as chil- dren to their motherland, who, after 250 years, still retained their ancient love for her. (Loud cheers.) The colonel thanked the mayor heartily for the cordial reception of the ancients, and the latter then reformed and marched through the crowded and gaily beflagged streets of Windsor Castle, Where the guards at the entrance saluted Colonel Walker and his officers. The visi- tors were greeted at the castle gates by the keeper of her majesty’s privy purse, Lieu- tenant Colonel, thg Rt. Hon. Sir Fleetwood Isham Edwards, “by the master of the household, Colonel Lord Edward William Pelham-Clinton, Sir John Carstairs McNeil, equerry to her majesty, and other high officials of the queen's household. The Ancients were then shown over the castle and assemebled on the east lawn at 1 o'clock, in order to be inspected by the queen, after which ceremony they were to be entertained at luncheon, When the artillerymen were assembling on the lawn, the fadies of the American party gathered on the east terrace, where United States Ambassador Bayard and Mrs. Bayard arrived at noon. The Massachusetts Ancients were in open formal Hon, with their flags flying in the r. e castle officials ani tary knights were In full uniform, nt ™! The Queen Arrives. At 1 o'clock punctually the queen, dreased in black and carrying a black sunshade, arrived in a carriage drawn by two gray horses and preceded by an outrider. The Princess Frederick was seated in the car- riage with her majesty. When the royal carriage reached the saluting point, the Ancients presented sabres and tke queen bowed. Then the United States ambassador, bareheaded, ad- yanced and bowed to her majesty. Mrs. Bayard, the Earl of Denbigh and Col. Walker followed his example, and her majesty ccrdially welcomed each of them. When this ceremony was concluded, at a word of command from Col. Walker, the visiting Ancients marched past in different fcrmations, and the queen expressed her Pleasure at the smart military appearance of the men. Her majesty then drove past the east terrace, upon which the American ladies were assembled, and bowed and smiled to them repeatedly. The lady visitors bowed at the queen’s salutation, and there was a loud round of cheering. The Ancients Had Lunch. The queen, in addressing Col. Walker, said: “I hope you had a pleasant voyage. and I am glad to see you here.” Col. Walker bowed in reply. The queen drove away amid ringing cheers from the Bos- tenians, who later were entertained at a sumptuous lunch at the royal orangery. The visiting artillerymen were highly grati- fied at the pleasant manner in which they were received by her majesty. Mr. and Mrs. Bayard will dine and sleep at Windsor castle, and will go to Aldershot tomorrow in order to be present at the review of the troops there in honor of the Ancient and Honorable Artillery Company of Massa- chusetts. All the prominent Bostonians were presented individually to Mr. Bayard. eS The Dead Soldier Was a Woman. From the Chicago Times-Herald. A story comes from Butler county, Kan., which is as romantic as it is strange end peculiar. While a terrific storm was rag- ing Otto Schaffer, a hermit farmer who had lived there many years, took shelter in his cabin and was offering up a prayer for protection when a bolt of lightning de- molished the house and killed him. Neigh- bors found the body on the floor and sum- moned the coroner, who prepared the body for burial, and in doing so made a discoy- ery that has beea the talk of the county. He says Schaffer was a woman. The de- ceased was an ex-soldier, and participated in many battles of the war. Despite this discovery the Grand Army veterans turn- ed out and gave Schaffer a soldier’s burial. An incident happened in the burial serv- ices which the old comrades believe was @ warning sent from God. As one of the comrades fired a last salute over the empty grave into which the coffin was low- ered it was found that the gun was loaded with ball as well as powder, and the shot killed a dove which was flying over. The dove fluttered and fell on the coffin dead. Schaffer leaves considerable property, but no one in the county knows of any tives. ———_+e+____ Rev. F. P. Ramsay. Rev. F. P.

The emotional life of a horse is remark- able. There are instances on record where the death of the horse has been traced directly to grief. One instance is called to mind, which cccurrei more than twenty years ago. A circus had been performing in the little town of Unionville, Pa., when one of the trained horses sprained one of his legs so that he could not travel. He was taker to the hotel and put in a box stall. The leg was bandagei and he was made as comfortable as possible. He ate his food, and was apparently con- tented until about midnight, when the cir- 3 began moving out of town. Then he became restless and tramped and whined. As the caravan moved past the hotel he seemed to realize that he was being de- serted, and his anxiety and distress be- came pitiful. He would stand with his ears pricked in an attitude of intense list- ening, and then as his ears caught the sounds of the retiring wagons he would rush, as best he could with his injured leg, from one side of the stall to the other, pushing at the door with his nose and mak- ing every effort to escape. The stableman, who was a stranger to him, tried to soothe him, but to no purpose. He would not be comforted. *, Long after all sounds of the circus had ceased his agitation continued. The sweat poured from him !n streams and he qui ered in every part of the body. Finaliy the stableman went to the house, woke up the proprietor and told him he believed the horse would die if some of the circus horses were not brought back to keep him com- pany. At about daylight the proprietor mounted a horse and rode after the circut He overtook it ten or twelve miles away, and the groom who had had charge of the injured horse, returned with him. When they reached the stable the horse was dead. The stableman said that he remained for nearly an hour perfectly still and with every sense apparently strained to the ut- most tension, and then, without making a sign, fell a died with scarcely a strug- gle. The veterinarian ~who was called re- marked after the circumstances were told him that unquestionably the horse died from grief. If it is possible for all the mental faculties of the horse to become abandoned to grief to such an extent as to cause death, how much more does he ap- Hope to the sympathy and regard of man- ‘ind. SA oe A QUEEN'S BATH. Pats Starch in the Water to Hide Her Form From Visitors. From the London Graphic. Persons who pride themselves upon what they call their sturdy common sense affect to despise elaborate civilities under the ex- pressive term of “starch.” None the less do such sacrifices to exacting graces flourish, and certainly not less than in countries nearer home among the Hovas of Mada- gascar, who were, even before their an- nexation, nothing if not Parisian. Starch is, however, at the court of Antananarivo no mere matter of form; rather, if one may say so, a form of matter, for it is the starch so indispensable in our laundries that, like Shakespeare's divinity, doth hedge around the Queen Ranavalo. She, like Marie An- toinette, is accustomed to receive state visit- ors in her morning tub, and quite seeing the disadvantages of having her bath watezs, like her state policy, too clear, the starch is thrown into it to dissolve as a white veil around the queen. Among dignitaries thus received by her was, according to the Paris correspondent of the Times, a French am- bassador, M. Le Myre de Vilers, who, after a plentiful use of diplomatic “soft soap,” retired highly confident. An old Hova, now- ever, more experienced in Madagascan eti- quette, took a different view of the results of M. de Vilcrs’ mission. yh, he will not »"" he said, “there was too Excessive starch would seem to make queens and collars alike “stuck up.” ~ Secing by Wire. From Cassell’s Family Magazine. Will it ever be possible to enable the per- sons who speak with each other by tele- phone to see one another at the same time, as “in a glass, darkly,” perhaps, but still “face to face?” Will it ever be feasible for a man in London to see opera in La Scala, or the Fells of Niagara, or the Feast of Lanterns, in Canton, without stirring from home? It is a captivating idea, and, al- though we cannot pronounce with certain- ty, there is a good deal to be sald in favor of the possibility of its realization. To begin With, it is known that light is merely a form of energy, or, as the late Prof. Tyndall would call it, a “mode of motion.” It is, in fact, a wave-like motion in the exquisite medium that we call the luminiferous ether, which is understood to permeate all bodies. The waves resemble those set up in water when a stone is drop- ped into it; that is to say, they are trans- verse rays, the particles of water rising and falling alternately across the line on which the waves travel. In this respect light differs from sound, in which the par- ticles of air conveying the sound vibrate to and fro along the course of propagation of the sound. Now it has been found of late years that waves similar to those of light in all but size can be set up in the luminif- erous ether by oscillatory discharges of electricity, and there is growing evidence to show that some well-known effects of electricity are the result of wave motions in the ether of the same kind as those of light. if, tnerefore, we cduld find a means of transforming the waves of light into corre- sponding electric waves and transmit these to a distance by wire, or even without wires, then retraneform them back again into light, the problem would be solved. The progress cf electrical research appears to tend in that direction. FINANCIAL. Washington Safe Deposit Co. Storage Warehouse, 18 PENN. AVE. Safe Deposit Boxes, $2.50 por annum.
