VOL. LXVIIL CAPITOL NEWS PRESIDENT CLEVELAND NOT DANGEROUS HEALTH. IN Goes to Gray Gables to Rest, —A Silver and Gold Straddle Proposed for the Repub- licans for the Presidential Ticket, There is nothing worth contradict- ing in the revived rumors about Presi- dent Cleveland's health, but just show in what a robust state of health he is it may be mentioned that, al- though Saturday was one of the warm- est June days ever experienced in Washington he drove in from Wood- of the business which had accumulat- ed while he went to Chicago to attend Secretary Gresham's funeral. dent Cleveland isn't to going of the comtort and recreation he can find there in warm weather.

They argue that a straddle ticket ought to go along with a straddle plat- form. Ex-Secretary Whitney's opinions of coming changes in the to- wards silver of the great European na- tions have been much discussed in Washington, for several reasons. Mr. Whituey has just returned from Eu- rope, where he has enjoyed unusual opportunities to get at the sentiment of the influential people; he is a close observer, and, if he so wills, his chance for becoming the Presidential candi- date of the Democratic party is second to that of no man. These are some of the reasons which have added interest to his words: “I firmly believe that the commercial nations of the world are rapidly falling into line on the sil- ver question. Germany has declared in favor of silver on some basis, and France has recently come forward with a similar expression. Earope would certainly like to see silver re established in the monetary systems of the world. It all depends upon Eng- land. In unofecial circles and among the politieal economists connected with the great seats of learning in England, the cry is for the re-moneti- zation of silver. Even among the bankers and merchants silver has many strong friends, who do not fear to speak openly and fearlessly in favor of the despised metal. If this senti- ment can be chrystallized into a move- ment in favor of an international as positions which at present is the most formida- ble enemy of the white metal, will be brought into line in favor of it.” ng . EXPERIENCE WITH A RATTLER. The Result of a Rattler's Bite upon the Rubber Tire of a Bike, One day last week Richard Roe was crossing the 7 Mountains with his bycicle, he saw an object in the road a few rods ahead, which as he correctly reckoned was a good sized snake, He made up his mind to have some fun by running square over his snakeship, without any thought that it might be a dangerous rattler. So he put all possible impetus into his machine and ly fangs so deeply into the rubber tire, rider, land- ing in the road about three rods ahead tichard dismounted and had no difficulty in dispatching the mountain, but soon there seemed to be something wrong with his wheel and the tire looked larger but he attri- buted the swelling to the expanding heat. He rode on and finally his bike stopped, the tire had swollen to three the thing was choked like a buggy with a hot spin- dle. He examined the wheel and found the marks of the reptile’s fangs times its size, and nd swelling. He had tio snake medicine carried his tree near the road, and hurried to the pint of whisky, and returning as fast | his ! carry him, he was | soon along-side his bike and found the rubber than To as legs could swollen more ever. WEATHER PREDICTIONS, Extremes of Temperature Forecasted for the Month of Roses. My last bulletin gave forecasts of the storm waves to cross the continent from June2to 6 and 8 to 12.

April and May are expected to aver- age above in temperature, June and July below, with extremes in tempera- ture in the last three months. Many letters come to me inquiring what the crops will be.

Charles Emory Smith, of the Philadelphia Press, stood by the governor in his fight against Senator Quay on the ap- portionment question and it seems to be the general impression that General Hastings will reciprocate by aiding the Quaker city editor in the cam- paign which he will make to succeed Cameron.
