MONDAY EVENING, FEB. 27, 1882.
PHILADELPHIA POLITICS.
McMANES AND CAMERON.
trite Over the Choice et Delegates te the
Republican Governer Conientleu
lMiiladclphia Times.
The minute tbe smoke of the Febtuaiy
municipal battle clears away the attention
ei' the Republican politicians of the city
will be turned te the coming state conven
tion Theie will be a struggle te name
delegates who will abide by the insttuc insttuc
tiens given them and the sub-bosses will
be marshaled ea one side by James Mc
Maucs, backed up by the pawer of the
Gas trust, and the Cameren interests will
be yuaided by Bcceider David II. Lane.
It is generally understood that the orders
up te date ate for Beaver ler governor and
Kawlc for supreme judge, with a free-for-all
for lieutenant-govciner and secretary
of internal affairs. Mr. McMancs has
planted his feet firmly against Itawle and
says : "Cameren can take him if he wants
him, but he will find that the very people
he is trying te catch with this nomination
will be the first te turn around aud give
him the kuife." Further thau this he
would net say aud no intimation was given
as te what would be done in the contest
for delegates.
The Cameion pcepla arc sanguine of
capturing the majority of the delegates
fietn the city, and this is their way of reas
oning : The First district is held by Ames
M. Slack, scaler of weights and measures, ,
who has a state ellice, ana Uliam L-.
Douglass, city commissioner, who is a
McMancs man, with Cameren tendencies.
The delegates here will be one for each
side. The Second distiict is controlled by
Jeseph Nobre, a real estate aseser ap
pointed by General Bingham, the cousin
of Den. Cameion. The district will be
solid for Rawle. The Third district,
where Harry Hunter will most likely be
the delegate himself, will be against Lane
in eveiy patticular, se far as it lies in
Hunter's power te make it se. The Fourth
district, controlled by Dept SheriftThemas
Smyth, will send a full-fledged machine
delegate. The Fifth district, where "Wil
liam D. Lelar, a custom house empleye,
holds power,' will be for Cameren. The
Sizth will be anything te beat. McMaues
for defeating William L. Smith for city
commissioner. The Seventh will be for
Cameren, because Alexander Skilten, the
boss of the ward, is a postefiice empleye,
and if he should fail te win then Kusscl
will, and as he is angered with MeMancs
for defeating him for file commissioner,
Cameren, or elseSccretaiy Quay will lese
his influence between new and election.
The Ninth ward, which is managed by
Jobber David 3Iullen, will be for McMancs.
The Tenth ward will be for Leeds, who
will held the delegate and finally turn him
ever te the parties who will de the most
for him aud Jehn L. Hill. The Eleventh
district will be for McMancs and the
Twelfth will be for Cuneren through Wil
liam B. Ahern's influence. The Fourteenth
through the manipulations of President
Roberts, eflhe Gas Trust, and Councilman
M. S. Bonsall, will be forMeManes. Harry
Iluhu will endeavor te have the Fifteenth
district delegates solid for Cameren, and
it is thought that, if necessary, part of
the Reform clement will help club Mc
Mancs. The Sixteenth district will be ag.tiiiit
Mr. McMancs because the Shrcevcs and all
the smallfry bosses are in Federal posi
tions. The Seventeenth district, con
trolled by Algee aud Lawseu, will be solid
for McMancs. The Eighteenth, being
under the thumb of the aesthetic president
of select council, will be for ulc.uancs.
Tltc Nineteenth, although run by Jobber
Adam Albright and his ce-parcencr, David
Martin, will be for Cameren. Albiigbt is
a partucr in the ellice of scaler of weights
and measuua for the Northern distiict.
along with Alex. Crawford, and Mai tin is
a deputy sergeant at-arms in Congress.
That will make three delegates for Cam Cam
eeon. Recorder Lane will see that Cam Cam
eeon gets the Twentieth district, Colonel
Charles Thomsen Jenes will direct the bat
tle for Cameren from the upper end of the
Twenty-first district, while Charles A. Por Per
ter will endeavor te held the lower end
for McMancs. The chances arc said
'te be in favor of Colonel Jenes and Cam
eion. The Twenty-second distiict will he
for McMancs, through Register of Wills
Tayler's influence, while the Twcuty-tSird
will be for Cameren. The Twenty femth
will be wherever Rewan says the Tsventy-
scventlt is going. His sympatntcs ate
with McMancs, but it is questionable
whether policy will net dictate that he
should net antagonize Cameren's influ
ences, in view of his prospective canriifticy
for the position of .sheriff next fall. The
senator's friends arc using this argument
te Mr. Rewan. Deputy Corener Peweis
will see that the delegate from the
Twenty-fifth district is solid fcr Cameren,
while Collector of Internal Revenue Pol
lock will attend te the interests of the big
boss in the Twenty-sixth district. The
Twenty-eight district will be controlled
for Cameren through Widcncrand the six-cent-fare
bosses.
The delegate from the First Senatorial
district will be for Cameren and the Sec
ond will be the same. It will be necessary
for Lauc te give his permission te allow
McManes te be a delegate from the Third
district, as he controls the Sixteenth aud
Twentieth wards, while the Gas Trust
holds but the Sevcnteeth and Eighteenth.
The Feiuth district will be as Rewan says,
while the remainder will be for Cameren
delegates. If McMancs forces the light
and declares for Frederick Carrell Brew
ster for Supreme Judge there will be
lively times in the nominating conventions.
The Lane faction desire an early delegate
election and would hae it about the mid
dle of March, but McManes docs net care
hew seen it comes off.
A SUB' DKSIOCKATIO I'LAS.
Proposed Changes In tlie City Committee.
Randall IameU for Chairman.
Times.
On the evening of the fust Monday in
March a week from te-morrow the
Democratic ward committees will elect
tepiescnlatives te the city committee.
Prominent Democrats are new working
1 hard te effect au important change in the
composition of the new committee, iiiey
preless a desire te smother all factional
fires and thoroughly unite and harmonize
the Democratic party througneut the city.
Theit plan of doing this is te put none
but representative Democrats in the city
committee and te select them se carefully
as te give satisfaction all around, if possi
ble. It is expected that a meeting of the
leaders of the new movement will be
held in a few days for the purpose of effect
ing an understanding with the ward com
mittees as te the most desirable men te
ba elected. William Eisenbrown is men
tioned as the probable representative from
the First waul. Dr. Andrew Ncbinger or
Geerge McGowan from the Second and
Washington J. Jackseft or James T. Mal Mal
len from the Third. Jeseph P. Kennedy
is favored for the Fourth ward, but it is
thought that 'Squiie MeMulIcn's oppesi-
tieu te Mr. Kennedy will be the cause of
having a sort of compromise man selected.
It being the purpose te make Samuel J.
Randall chairman of the committee, and
Mr. Randall having a corner in his heart
reserved for his steadfast friend, the
"squire, it is believed by some that the
Fourth ward selectman can prevent Mr.
Kennedy from going into the committee .
The. men named te represent the Fifth
ward are Jehn M. Campbell and
Geerge M. Dallas, but it is net
known that either will accept. Mr. Ran
dall is booked for the Sixth ward, as he
always registers at the Merchants'
hotel when in this city ; Dallas Sanders
for the Seventh ; Edwin A. Pue or Richard
Vaux, Eighth ; Rebert P. Dechcrt,
Ninth ; Jehn R. Read, Tenth ; R. A.
Lukens, Eleventh ; Geerge R. Berrill,
Fourteenth ; Ilenry S. Hagert and Wm.
V. McGrath, Fifteenth ; Emanuel Firth,
Sixteenth ; ex-Councilman James Tuily,
Seventeenth ; Samuel R. Marshall and
CharlefStilz, Twentieth ; Jehn S. Davis,
Twenty-first ; Edward R. Worrell,
Twenty-third ; Themas P. Judge, twenty
fifth ; Rebert E. Pattiseu or any man
named by him, Twenty-seventh, and
Themas May Peircc-, Twenty-eighth. Fer
the wards net mentioned nobody has been
decided upon yet, aud at present it is net
certain who of these above named will ac
cept the position and who will net. Not
withstanding the plausible professions of
the organizer of the new movement the
belief i3 freely expressed by many ob
servers that jealousy of the rapidly trow trew
ing power of Jeseph P. Keuucdy is at the
bottom of the business. Mr. Kennedy
overthrew Mr. Randall's fiiend, the
'squire, in November, and he has com
pelled Geerge McGowan te take a back
scat in the deliberations of the party's
rcpiesentativcs. These circumstances,
viewed in connection with the activity of
friends of Mr. Randall and Mr. McGowan
in the present movement, have set polit
ical tongues wagging in all sorts of ways.
CO.UMO.NWEAI.Tn Ci.l.ii ROOMS.
Ths Uniquely l'lirnlHliint Apartment? of
the Organization.
On the 4th of March next the new quar
ters of the Commonwealth, club, Philadel
phia, will be opened with a reception, te
which a number of the most distinguished
Democrats of the country will be invited.
The apartments for the organization are
en the second fleer of the building at the
southwest corner of Bread and Chestnut
streets, with the entrance en the former
thoroughfare. There ar thiee large com
municating room, one of which i- te con
tain a sideboard. The furnishing of the
entire place is in the most .'esthetic style,
and its uniqueness makes it very pretty.
The main parlors are fitted up te resemble
an old-fashioned English mansion. The
walls are covered with felt paper, the
figures upon it being raised, and at a short
distance it has the appearance of a fresco.
This is painted ever. The paper is cxteu
sively used in England, but has been re
cently introduced here. The front room
is finished in oak. and ever the doorways
there arc exquisite carvings. The furni
ture here Is of black Walnut of the Pom Pem
peian d.sign, and covered with garnished
plush. In the next, room the furniture is
of the same design in oak, with light satin
slate colored covering. There are no doers
between the main parlors, their places be
ing supplied with portieres. At the Chest
nut street end is a private parlor, fitted up
for a dining room. Fei the present there
will be no kitchen attached te the club
house, arrangements having been made
with a neighboring caterer te supply what
mea's are wanted upon erdeis being sent
by telephone. Mr. L. P. Ashmcad will
have charge of the place, and it is the in
tention te make the club a power in poli
tics A Fereigu Prince Expected.
Visit id Prince i'l-isdaiig Of Ma:n te till
Country.
New Yerk Time..
Prinze iirK.i.mg i ; the title et a half
brother of the King of Siam. He is about
te visit this country as an emissary from
hi: royal relative. Twe years age the
King of Siam scut a special embassy te
England fcr the purpose of effecting au
alteratie in the treaty existing between
thc two countries. A draft convention
was agiccd upon bctreeu Lord Saulisbury
and the Siamese minister of foreign affairs,
but about that time the abassader wa
taken ill and was compelled te return te
Siam. The treaty, therefore, has never
bceu ratified. The king has decided te
rcuew his eveiturcs for a treaty, and has
.-elected for his ambassador Prince Pris
dang, who, with his suite, is new en the
way te this country aud is expected
te arrive in this city during the
latter p.ut of April. In addition
teiatifying the treaty between Siam aud
England, the Prince is empowered te
effect, treaties with this country, France,
Germany, Spain, Italy, and Portugal. The
Prince is about S ycais old, of medium
stature and is well educated. lie speaks
Eugli?h and French fluently, and being
unmarried, is looked upon as a "catch"
liv marriageable vnumr ladies. His uicss
consists of a derby hat, Euiepean coat aud j
vest, the latter buttoning with geld but. i
tens up te the neck. As a substitute for
tieuscrs the Prince wears what, in the
Siamese language is called panuung. The
latter garment is net unlike trousers worn
by the zeuaves during the war. It con
sists of a skirt reaching te the instep. The
hem of the skirt is cauirht un in fi out. ant'.
being carried between the legs, is fastened t
at the waist behind. The legs, covered I
with bright colored stockings, are dis
played te the knees, and low shoes with
buckles complete the attire. The Prince
has vO half-brothers, including the
King. His father had numerous
wives, according te the custom et tuc
country. The present king has one wife
who is a favorite and is his consert,besido3
a harem of several mere. The king's an-
thrual revenue is about 810,0CO,000, out of
which he supports his .50 half brothers
and their families in ad iitien te his own
family. Upen asceudiug te I he throne lie
iusitutcd a reform in the affairs of his
government by compelling his half-brothers
who had hitherto led indolent lives, te
perform the duties of cabinet officers and
te attend te the various departments in
his realms. The result of the innovation
was decidedly beneficial te the government
in the way of chcckicg much wastelul ex
travagaucc. The products of the country
de net, as is popularly supposed, consist
entirely of white elephants. The staple
product is rice, which is grown
in large quantities, and tuc peas
antry are mostly wealthy, while there
is no actual poverty in the kingdom.
The population of Siam is about G,000,000,
of which Bangkok has 1,000,000. The
king is enterprising and liberal in his
views. Although the state leligien is
Buddhist, the French Jesuits and Ameri
can Protestants work side by side in their
efforts te convert the Siamese te their re
spective creeds, and American missionaries
arc even permitted te preach their doc
trine iu the Buddhist temples. The Siam
esc navy consists of 10 modern war vessels'
The king has also what is called a stand
ing army, consisting of 10,000 troops. It
comprises two batteries of Napoleons and
a battery of four Gatling guns, while the
infantry is armed with Winchester breech-
leading magazine guus. The military
system conforms mere nearly te the
national guard of this state or te the
English volunteer system than te
the regular armies of Great Britain
or this country. The soldiers live
and pursue their ordinary vocations within
a radius of '20 miles from Bankek, the cap
ital of Siam, and assemble in times of
peace ouce in every three months for drill
and review by the king, who is the commander-in-chief.
One of the objects of
the visit of Prince Prisdang te this city
is te inspect the national guard system,
and Cel. Richard Vese, commanding the
Seventy-first regiment, has accepted au
invitation te assist thp prince in his efforts
te obtain such information as he may desire
en the subject. Probably a special parade of
the First division will be ordered for the
edification of his Royal Highness. Before
this is done, hewever, the Prince will com
plete his business with the president at
Washington, and it may be possible for
him te be present at the Decoration Day
parade en May 30. A committee will be
sent from Washington te this city te ar
range the proper details for the lecaptieu
of the Prince en his arrival at this pert. It
is net yet known by what line of steamers
he will make the voyage from Liverpool
te this city or whether he will travel in
ene of the Siamese war steamers.
A CHICAGO AGNOSTIC.
Hew Iter. Mr. Milne Prajs.
Rev. Geergo C. Milne, whose with
drawal from the pulpit of the Church of
the Unity in Chicago and from a 60,000
salary has caused se much comment among
Unitarians, says he was iuduced te take
this step because of his continually in
creasing liberal views. He holds that
while it is impossible te predict in detail
what the future of the church will be, it
is easy te perceive "thegcueial tendency "
It is toward " the substitution of a basis
of impartial and natural ethics for the
basis of suparnaturalism in which the
church has rested." " Human sympathy
will take the place of dogma, and, with
the speculative beliefs thrown asid., it will
have mero time for practical philanthropy
and will become the great educ itieual and
formative ferce of society." He sonic
time age abandoned the petition form in
prayer. About a week age Mr. Milne
opened his service with the following :
" We turn our feet from the common
path of life into the seclusion of this sa
cied hour, made sacred te us by our own
intentions. At least for a little we bid
farewell te the fret and worry of our daily
life, te the burdens which we in silence
carry, and te the trivial pleasures which
de se much te dissipate our tine energies
and purposes. We orae here te find
res;, te find light, te gain strength
ler the duties which are before ui.
We come hem that bv the planting of holy
purpese-j we may gtew stronger and nobler j
in all the ways of life. May the stillness !
of this moment breaths a sweet serenity j
into every heart. Leeking backward, we
may learn te regard with scorn all that has
beeii
unworthy of us all pettiness,
all littleness, all
ceunselling with
igueble aud time-serving inethcs.
Locking far ward, may our aspi
rations reach after the highest ideals
for ourselves and for our fellows. May we
be above despair, above hopelessness.
May we leek into the future with calm
ness and determination, prepared for its
duties and for whatever of conflict may
await us. And may our intercommun
ication lift us into ii icalm where we
shall be emancipated from suspicion
and misinterpretation of each ether.
We de net forget the peer. They
aic always wirh us. May men help the
peer, the blind, the sick, and they who
are beaten down by the trampling of
many feet in all the ways of life. O that
our hearts may at least be full of sym
pathy, and our hands always full of help
for such ! And may we leek with yearn
ing eyes for the coming of that day in
which there shall be no pain, no crying
nor weariness of heart ! Amen."

j A correspondent sends the following
calculations with legard te the reputed
j wealth of William 11. Vanderbilt : Es-
timating it at $300,000,000, te count it, at
the rate el - each second and fen hours a
day, it would take 11 years, 131 days, 3
hours, and 40 minutes. In geld it would
weigh 781 tens and 300 pounds, requiring
a train of 79 cars of 10 tens capacity te
move it. ; in silver 10,714 tens and 371
pounds, requiring 1,07'J cars for its trans
portation. In $1 bills, lying lengthwise
in a continuous line, it would icach 151,919
miles, 102 mdsand 7 feet, or enthcly around
the glebe and along its diameter with 1,919
miles, lfi-2 reds, and 7 feet te spare or mere
than euc-seventh of the distance from our
planet te the. moon. If laid "widthwise,"
these 1 bills would reach 14 300 miles,
131 reds and 8 feet, or from New Yerk
city te mero than 30 miles beyond Chey
enne, added te halt the ciicumfercnce of
the glebe. In SI bills it would spread a
carpet 103 feet and e inches wide and 80
miles long; a carriage drive four feet and
11 inches wide aud ever l,S0i miles long ;
or a comfortable promenade 2 feet and 3$
inches in width, and moie than 5J.G15J
I miles in length. In $20 geld pieces, lying
side by side, it would censtiuct a sidewalk
4-5 inches wide, but a few reds short of 10
miles long ; in silver dollars, lying con
tiguous, a boulevard 100 feet wide and S
miles in length.
