There have been many noisy and exs citing political gatherings in Harrisburg, as everybody knows, but never any- thing to equal the scenes of last night in the hotel lobbies and on the streets. The number of strangers in the city is ene They came by hundreds and thousands on every train. The day ex~ press from Pittsburg yesterday consisted Ormous., of five sections, and nearly every coach emptied at the Harrisburg depot. This stream of people at once poured into the Lotels, but those who had not previously arraoged for accommations were disap- pointed, for there is not an uosold cor- per or cot in any hotel ip the city, The overflow is proviog a source of profit to private families, many of which tobk lodgers for the night; and lodgers were willing to pay for the privilege of a few honrs rest on parlor floors, The streets un front of the Lochiel hotel were dense. ly packed with a mass numbering thous ands of men women and children. It was almost impossible to get in or ont of the hotel by the front. There was a pa- rade on every street in the interest of some candidate for office, led by one or more brass bands, with all the marches, burning red fire, cheering and shouting, There at reasonable calculation ten bands for each candidate. The general noise and racket, like the effect of cannon dis- charges brought on a sultry 1ain about 9 o'clock and drove into the hotels all who coald get in, hat the heat. within wet everybody as thoroughly as the rain without. The extent of the discomfort that was suffered for no other result than the ratification of Qaay’s choice for govs ernor is measureless. For uo one really believes in bis heart that anybody but Delamater will be nominated. The Del- amater boom is booming with a largeness and activity that no other candidate can approach. It must have cost a big pile of money to create the effort that is works ing up the enthusiasm in his behalf here, we Palrict, -— tens a— Charles H, J, Taylor, a negro lawyer, of Atlanta, who was Minister to Liberia daring the Cleveland Administration, proposes to take the colored voters of the United States over to the Democratic party in a body, Taylor has perfected a plan for a convention, to be held ia At lanta next month, to be composed of one colored delegate from each State in the Union. The purpose of the convention, as announced by Taylor, is to decide upon the best plan of preparing figures to prove to the negroes of the country that they have never received any favors from the Republican party sod never will receive "oy. In an interview with The San correspondent to-day, Taylor raid that he has visited a namber of States, North and Sou h, in the interest of his plan, and everywhere finds most of the educated and intelligent negroes in full sympathy with the movement. They begin 10 realize, ho says, that they can never hoe to be more than mere voting machines while they remain In the Republican party, and that their real friends are the Democrats. Taylor thinks fally 1,000,000 negro voters will vote the Democratic ticket at the next national convention. —— i — What did Mr. Wallace ever do to aid the laboriog elas ? In the halls oflegis- lation, as well as on the rostrum, Mr, Wallace always stood with his party on labor questions. Bat, he did more. He was the author of the anti corporation act of 1874, which prohibited mining and manufacturing companies from with- holding wages to pay for store goods, snd also author of the Labor Arbitration act of 1883, which at the time was ex- pected to do wonders for workingmen in the settlement of strikes, and which really for a time did much good. Mr. Wallace, like’ his party hasalways been the working people's friend, and never the friend monopolies, Heo has never even been what is known as a corporation attorney for mining companies and the railroad in Clearfield conoty. - The fanniest story yet tcld by Stanley, and which comes in quite apropos just now, is that one day while conversing with a friendly tribs dariog his recent travels, one of the chiefs present inquired how many wives he Jomesesd Stanley {nnogently veplying that he had nane, all those present stood up like one man and uoanimously exclaimed: “What a splendid liar!” They intensely admirel the apparent calmness with which he had, as they thought, tried to pass off on them a wondrous traveller's Just Before the Convention. Senator Delamater and Gen. Hastings came in on the game train from Philadel. phia Harrisburg June 22, and joined the advance guard of Republican politicians already on the ground. Becretary Stone who is looming up prominently as a com- promise candidate, was the first to get here, but, like Gen. Hastings, he has quietly remained at his rooms, perferr- ing to wait until Monday before opening regalar headquarters, It will ba the most exciting Republican State Conven- tion ever held in this city, the element of doubt hedging the nominations making it impossible to predict the outesme with any degree of certainty. Chairman And- rews is regularly installed in the State Committee's headquarters at the Lochiel, where Senator Delamater is also to be found, All the leading caudidates for the various offices at this hotel.

If he fails them their cause is hopeless. Gen. Hast. ings is more coufideut to-night than at avy time during the heated canvass now He said to-night. “I bave never yet said anythiog abat are dae to close. the outlook for publication, but you may say that assurances have reached me which justify the prediction that I will be nominated on Wednesday,” There was no doubt expressed or ims plied, and the confidence exhibited by their leader has strengthened the Hast- ings followers, Secretary Stone is also developing un- usual strength as a probable compromise candidate, Itis ssid to-night upon the most reliable authority tuat Major Mone tooth will never consent to accept second place on the ticket with Delamater, and that Senator Qaay failed utterly in mak- ing such a deal #8 was expected when he left Philadeiphia for Pittsburgh. The lines of all the candidates are firm to- pight, Itis not definitely known that Senator Quay will be here, but his roo at the Lochiel Hotel for him. in has been ressrved aia The Bureau of Industrial Statistics at Harrisburg hes been at some pains to gather information 8 to the condition of the farmers of Penosylyanis, and finds the agricaltaral industry depressed in every county of the State. As the in~ quiries were addressed to six hundred local granges, which made it their baasi- ness to distribute them as widely 23 pos- sible, it may be taken for granted that the information is trustworthy In his annual report the chief of the burean states that the most potent cause of the depression is overproduction. Slatistics are quoted showing that the corn crop of the country has increased io forty years nearly foorfold, wheat fivefold, ons fivefold and hay and potas toes in equal ratio, while population has increased less thaa threefold in the same period. As the foreign demand is de- creasing owing to various ressoas, it fol. lows that the great agricultural staples have become a drag on the market, and that the farmers of Pennsylvaaia, with small farms, are at a disadvantage in competition with the great wheat and corn farmers and cattle growers of the west, It is not necessary Lo look farther for the canse of low prices for agricultural products, although Mr, Bolles thinks ex. cessive transportation charges and the big profits of middlemen have added to the depression from which Peunsylva- nia farmers are suffering. These doubt. less have still farther reduced farm ine comes in some cases, but the greatest difficulty is that the farmers are com- peting with each other for the home market and doing very little, if anything, to extend their market abroad. It may be taken {or granted, therefore, that low prices for farm products have come to stay, except in exceptionally poor crop years. Peansylvania farmers may increase their income to a limited extent by abandoning the growing of wheat, corn and cattle beyond what are require ! for their own needs and devos ting themselves to the cultivation of pic. ducts of a perishable nature for the lo cal market. -— Senator Mo: gan of Alabama is reported as having said that if his voice and en durance could prevent it, no Federal election bill should pass the Senate. His colleague, Senator Pagh, sqid sab. stantially the same thing on the flo or of the Senate, and Senator Gorman, the caucus Chairman, is reported as having said: “Toe Federal Election bill will nover pass the Benate.” The Republi. can leaders of the House have little hope of getting their Election bill through that body. Cabot Lodge, the chatwpion of this bill, says: “We shall pass it in the Hoose, What the Senate will do is sy & wystery now and at all times,” » SN. 8, Convention Proceedings.

Toat is to say a piece of silver to be had now at cost of seventy-two cents may be coined at the option of the holder into a piece which will be legal tender for 100 cents, I'he probable effect of much a law is in dispute, The best financiers of this and other conn ries are of opinion that it wil} expel gold from circulation and ultimate. ly land us on an exclusively silver basis. Gold, they say, having taken [ts flight, we shall have a depreciated currency, with all the evils incident to that state of things, s The advocates of free coinage claim, on the other band, that it will put up the price of silver, so that the dollar of 4124 grains will again be worth 100 cents. At the same time it will make money more abundant, and thus prove a bless tue country who are at present short of funds, Very contradictory things are hoped for from free coinage, some of which it is needless to say will not be realized.

The Portia worked her way along the coast until off Newfound land, where the fog became even denser and the sir became even colder than it had been. Capt. Ash increased his care in the navigation of the vessel, as his experience in those seas warned him that an iceberg, or a school of icebergs was very near them, On June 12, while the fog was very thick and the vessel under half speed, between Fogo Island and Cape Bona- vista, a huge iceberg loomed up directly ahead. The vessel had plenty of time to went aroand the berg, only to find herself, whea the fog cleared a little, completely surronaded by the monsters. There were icebergs of all sizes and shapes, from small ones, evi. dently broken off from their larger brethiren, to g-eal masses of ice tower ing high above the mainmast of the ves: sel, One of the bergs according to the Captain, was laily three miles in length aod looked like a serrated mountain range with hills aad valleys aad cia. racts pouriog from the hills into the sea. Whea the fog cleared away and the sun ’ ecribably grand. Oa all sides were great icebergs, which glistesed as the the sun struck them. Allthis was grand enough, but it required good seaman. ship to work a way through the huge mountains of ice which were on every 1ays of side, CW inii After the introduction the speaker iweit more at length upon the nature of the conflict between Christianity and the forces bostile to it and the manner in which the world bad been prepared for it by the general failure and decay of ancient civilization, He then showed the complete triumphs of Christianity over the Roman Empire and traced its influence on public lift and in society during the middle ages and down to modern times. Among the principal points in which this influence was noted were art, literature, legislation, the posi- tion of women in society and the treat- ment of criminals and it was arged that in these'and in all other matters affect~ ing modern life the truths of Christisns ity were the great controlling and reme- dial agency at work. cs I Returns from Various Cities, Unofficial and incomplete returns and estimates based upon them give the pop- ulation of various cities as follows: Codar Rapids, JoWa......co.oirnissvmmnens Burlington, Iowa Davenport, Towa... .......
