After finishing this dispatch a high character from New York, Mugwumpish Republican, said to me: "Keep you reye on Whitney as the dark horse. The Tammany men have served notice that they will not support Cleveland nor any Mugwump, which disposes of Boies. Hill has a splendid organization here. II is committees are all picked out. I think that "Whitney and Gray will be the ticket. It is clear to me that Cleveland cannot get two-third." In a few moments I met one of Mr. "Whitney's household, who said: "It is true that theyhae tendered "Whitney the sup port of New York, but he told me, only just now, ' that under no circumstances would he accept. He has written a letter, and he says that to write one thing and wink at his own nomination would be a hypocrisy he could not commit He feels that he owes a debt to Cleveland for putting him in his Cabinet He says, moreover, that Cleveland has got this convention, and he believes will be nominated on the first ballot, but if not, the Cleveland men are prepared to stav here three months rather than see any combination prevail against him." riiin of the Antl-CIevelmidltrs. I told this to John Fox, of New York, who said: "We would like to vote for Whitney, but he is emphatic in refusing to take it Nevertheless the friends of the difierent candidates other than Cleveland have concluded upon an agreement They are goins to vote each delegation for its own candidate, in the belief that upon the failure of the first ballot Mr. Cleveland will be given up. Illinois, for example, is committed to Cleveland, but not beyond one ballot We hive counted the dele gatec, and are atis6ed that he has not two thirds to commence with. We can then ad journ and work over night to accomplish satifac!orr results." Mr. Tor added that Mr. Boies was not acceptable to the New York Democrats. "Do not join the Democratic party, for there yoj must eo to the tail of the class," was the tdvice given by a Democratic editor to his Republican contributor, and Boies, Gray and even Campbell are finding it out 1'erhaps Tammany Hall has the least big otry in this respect of any element of the Democracy. They have always been ready to take up" a Republican or war man and faithfullv support him. They are now litre with General Sickles who left the Democracy in the anti-Nebraska times, and never returned to it till 1880, when his fel low soldier, Hancock, was nominated. Then soiuierrnip ana ine goou iiuns j.auiuiaijy i had to offer prevailed. , , I Mast Hut" Sew Tfork and Indians. Victor Baughman, a fine-lookiug and in fluential man in Gorman's delegation, who owns the Frederick City stock farm, and married a daughter of Abel, ot the Balti more Sun, remarked: "I think that we are inst going to hate the same fight over lor New York and Indiana. Indiana belongs to us, but boodle sometimes gets it away. All this talk of Vilas about carrying Wis consin, Illinois, Iowa, etc., has been proven absurd. We waited tour years ago, and be fore that, for the great revolution, and the Northwest stuck to the Republican party prerir time." Among the claims made in behalf of. Senator Gorman is not onlv that he stopped the force bill, but that he elected Cleveland, and it is even made that he did it by threat ening assassination to individuals and by having the Republican districts in New York City recounted in Cleveland's favor. The persons who mike these statements seem to think that they will do Gorman good. Itnbert Garrett, jnt before his mind weakened, met B. F. Jone the Chairman of Blaine's campaign, and said to him: "If jou rount Blaine in jou will be killed." Norvm Green is said to have received word from Gorman th.it if he did not stop putting out dispa'cnes claiming Blaine's election, Mr. Gorman, who did Cot live in New York, would not be responsible for the property ol his company nor the lives of its inmates. This sort of Democrat docs not like to see Mr. Boies enter the narty and qptanj thing. They sav he cannot re mark like Goxernor Hill, "I am a Demo crat," Jor he was not born there. tamracn Fodd-r for the Northwest. All these points are liable to be used in the campaign in the Northwest when Boies is turned don n and Gray for the second time set underneath some old gentleman like Thurman. The nomination of Thur nian is bitterly referred to here among the instances of Cleveland's headstrongness. When Tammany Hall got in its work all dav and night Friday, as some of the South ern and Western delegates began to waver, the Morrison boom was being strenuously urced, and it may be said that Carlisle favors it, for he was Morri son's creation. Morrison, commencing in 1874, madeall the Democratic programmes electing Kerr and Carlisle and bringing free trade to the front The weakness of his uioement is that it is partially ac cej.sorv to Cleveland, and he would drop to the Vice Presidency gla ily. Having been a soldier lie would supply the military re quisite, while he is esteemed by the South erners. But he was made officeholder by Cleeland, and so continued by Harrison. He fills the acant places in Boies' record, having been alwavs a Democrat At the Richelieu Hotel, late Friday night, a large, lat, inoffensive-looking man, who might have temporarily supplied the filace of the tat boy in the dime show, stood caning upon the desk. It was Baby Bis sell, of Bufialo, that beautiful alliteration in the flesh, who was Cleveland's partner. He was sending up his card to William C Whitney, the general of all our forces, who, after getting a pint of champagne and some lunch, and refusinc all cards, came down stairs about midnight to see Mr. Harrity, at Pennsylvania. W liy I.m I.jmont Itn't Fresent. I inquired anxiously for Daniel Lamont, tnd was told that about five months ago he nad been stiicken donu with some disorder f the brain, and left a parcel ot bonds un igned, and going to Europe, has never ,ince been heard of. He was getting f 10, XK a year, and his business was to do the ntcrvienmg at the door and put the bnsi jess in shape, that Whitney in the rear -ooni might act upon it Here is the great car syndicate which has ccrntly in Milwaukee bought the electric ight plant and annexed the street railroads, ind they ill turn the railroads with the ight into the trolley system, clearing four mllions ot dollars on the transaction. This s the concern which only requires, as it ex acts to get the Third avenue railroad In s'ew York, to own everything on the sur ace on Manhattan Island which can carry wssentrers It ntrns on of the bridges at Albany, and may some day tackle the Van derbilt combination. - Whitney's brother owns all the itreet railways in Boston, or combines them. This combination began with Repnblicam in Philadelphia, who sent Yerkes to Chicago, to see If there was anything to plot up. Their programme is to discount the pros perity of the country, which, In their plat forms they question. They will bet you that 'every city franchise is worth three times as much as it stands at in the stock list Then they will take two times the stock capital and let you play with the other third for a period of rears. Mr. Whitney set 'Mr. Cleveland on his feet as a real estate man in Washington, and made for him full two years ot the Presidental salary. The big outside man of this combination is Ryan. The alder manic man is Crimmins. The Republican end is Widener and Elkins, of Philadelphia. Three Wise Men or the East. When Baby Bissell and Whitney and Harrity had drawn together it looked like, the three wise men ol the East who had seen the star and traveled toward It Whitney got a place in the Cabinet after Manning had been put there, Manning being less de sired than Whitney. Here see Al Fletcher, for years Ran dall's appointee in Congress, and afterward under Whitney in the Navy Department He, like Lamont, went into the street car combination, being appreciated for his mix ing capacities to make the acauaintanoe of the aldermen, all of whom, he says, keep saloons. The ad vantage of having an alder man with a saloon is that he is always at home, you need not send him your card, for the price of a glass of beer you can call him by name, and lor half a dollar, with which you treat, can even become his friend. This is not like ex-Secretary of the Treasury Fairchild, who, at his hotel, yes terday, was called upon by a parcel of those" reporters who come in with nothing in particular to ask and expect the great man to supply his own questions as well a answers. Mr.' Fairchild was not loath to receive. He had a valet at the door, with golden buttons upon him, who extended a silver tray and took the reporters cards, and after some minutes of mystery the door opens, and his countenance completed the statement: "The Department is now open half an hour for visitors to shake hands with my master." Mr. Fairchild announced that he had no further business before this convention than concerned the State of New York and the disposition of its delegations. He was opposed to the maxim ot "I am a Demo crat," thus meeting the Western Bourbon ism half way which said: "You are not a Democrat Cleveland's Komtnation Expected. Said Mr. Fletcher, who seemed to have no side in this conflict, "I am expecting Cleveland's nomination, but if they can stay him off a ballot or two, he may go under. That hardly looks probable. There is too much ambition, and there are too many Slate favorites. In reality, we ought to look out for New York and Indiana, and let the whole of the North beside go. I tell you, gentlemen, tbat if the Democratic party is beaten this time I believe it will go down for good. The strain to work and raise money for eight Presidental cam paigns will cause a snappage, some day. Nothing holds us up now but the solid South and the two States I bare mentioned, both of whjch we have to carry. This man Harrison is unusually smart He can make a hundred speeches, and you can turn them over and over and eet nothing out of them to comment on. His appointments show that he is a fine politician, and that is why his convention so easily renominated him. He had laid the pipes forit from year to year, and when he found Mr. Blaine was prepar ing to run, three or four months ago, Har risnjnst got ready for him. He held his negroes firm, although Sherman lost them after he had bought them." A bystander remarked that only the negro vote kept the Northern States Republican, and that the negroes were last dividing. An Unexampled State of Affairs. "Pshaw!" said Mr. Fletcher. "I did a large part of Randall's work in the Fourth ward of Philadelphia. I hare bought negroes time and again. They, will Hand by you in a. local contest, but fir Governor or President, I do not believe you can buy a negro in the land unless he has received an unusually big bribe. They vote and are counted, and that is all there is to it Now, while I have nothing more to do with poli tics, I have been too lone in it not to under stand it. It is unexampled for a State to come here with a candidate and have the convention nominate from the same State a totally different man. If there are any precedents for this I do not know them. They state their case frankly. The City of New York is all in all to the Tammany delegation. Mr. Grace, who is here for Cleveland, heading the out side delegation, wants to be Mayor of New York. His organization has completed a State Committee, and they nlean to fight Hill, Murphy and Tammany. The idea is to recognize the County Democracy. Now, do yon know how Tammany Hall would meet them? They would sav to the Re publicans: 'Here are 30,000 votes; take your President and let us have our Mayor.' Ot course, it might be possible for the Cleveland interest to pull 'Grace out and break up his campaign, but he thinks mote of carrying the City ot New York for him selt than for National politics. Where the Drmocrars Are Intrenched. "The Democrats have got a surer thing on New York, if they are united, than they ever had before. The Republicans in the last Legislature allowed their State system of election officers to apply to the 900 elec tion districts in New York." In the country districts the Republicans have two to one of such officers who do the registering and supervise the voting. They weakly let the same system go to New York, and Tammany has twb to one there. Hence, the challeng ing of registration and ot voting will be of no avail in New York City, and they can put 50,000 more votes into the boxthau they ever did before. "The so-called Federal Detective Agency there I have always believed to be an ap pendage of Tammany HalL Did you ever read of anybody being oonvicted for false registering "or voting? Now, Hill can hard ly expect to be nominated, but there are plenty of Democrats whom every Democrat could vote for, in both New York and In diana. Campbell or Morrison wonld do very welL" Gath. TEE FEELIN3 AT JAMESTOWK. Delegate Fuller Says IShUns Republicans Will Uager Money on Cleveland. Chicago, June 18. Frederick A. Fuller, Jr., ot Jamestown, N. Y., a member of the Democratic State Committee, and one of the Presidental electors in 1881, said to-day: The sentiment of the people of Western New York, and of the independent voters as well, is unanimous tor the nomination of Cleveland. The Democratic vote of James ton n would be inc. eased from 500 to 1,000 it Cleveland is the choice of the Chicago Convention, as against Har rison. The nomination of Harrison in this strong Blaine district is a great dis appointment to the Republican voter', and there is no one wno could command the in dependent vote but Cleveland. It mixhtbe well to say that some of the leading Re publican politicians of Jamestown are offer lnjr to wager money on the election of Cleve land if nominated. This sentiment exists all through that section of the State. The nomination of Cleveland wonld create great enthusiasm through the State, and In my Judgment he will carry the State by at leant 0.000 majority. The independent voters of the state or ewYork have the balance or power in the State, and they to a man will support Cleveland. Bill's Own District Against Him. Chicago, June 18. Senator C. E. Walker, who hails from Senator David B. Hill's district, addressed a large crowd of Democrats at the Cleveland headquarters, last night Senator Walker's arguments were cheered wildly. He informed the crowd tbat seven-eighths of the people in Hill's district are for Cleveland. "We live too near him to favor him," continued Walker. ''Tammany does not hope to nom inate Hill, and it would not it it could. Tammanv's whole scheme is to get Flower ont of the Governorship as President or Vice President, and thus have Bheehan auoceed him. THE DEPEW EIGHT IN IT. Little Doubt Tbat Blaine's Late Posi tion Has Been Tendered Him AS A REWARD OF POLITICAL WORE It Is Even Said It It Meant at a Stepping Eton to Hit Saeceedlng- T0 HARRIS0YS SHOES IS FOUR TEARS rPBOM A 8TATF COBBESrO'VTJEirT.l Washington, June 18. The presence here to-day of Mr. Chauncey M. Depew, an early call upon him by Mr. Halford, the Private Secretary of President Harrison, with an invitation to luncheon at the White House, the acceptance, and the prolonged visit of the glib-tonjrned New Yorker with Mr. Harrison, are thought to be good rea sons for the assumption that the place vacated so unceremoniously by Secretary Blaine, is to be, or has been offered to Mr. Depew. This would certainly be in accord with the "policy" Mr. Harrison has steadily pursued in his personal associations and his appointments to high office. He has never been known to refuse the most luxurious transportation about the country in the special cars of railroad magnates, and he has never been known to offer pay for anything. Presumably he thinks he gives an equiva lent in the tenderness with which he treats all great associations of capital. Not Kept Awake at Mghr. Mr. Harrison has never laid awake at night brooding over the encroachment of capital upon the rights of the general pub lic. He has never sonnded the serious note of alarm on the subject of corporations or trusts. Any utterance of his, in message or speech, squinting in this direction, has savored of the really admirable criticisms on the same subject which appear regularly in the platforms ot both of the old parties delightful in their evasion, fascinating in the cunning by which they ear what seems to be enough, and yet which do not say anything. Mr. Harrison is not even as explicit as the platforms. His utter indifference to the possibility of harm arising from "com bines" of capital has appeared in what he has said as conspicuously as in what he has not said. After the nomination of Mr. Whitelaw Reid for the Vice Presidency, the selection of Mr. Chauncey M. Depew for the first po sition in the Cabinetwould be entirely log ical. Both have been fighting labor organi zations for years, both are of the million aire element which Mr. Harrison so dearly loves to mingle with. Both have succeeded in cajoling' and "making up" with the labor organizations just at a time when to do so meant much more to them than to the or ganizations. One Way to Down Opposition. Any opposition manifested in labor cir cles could probably be easily overcome by compliment and wheedling and the appoint ment, or promise of appointment, of the leaders to good positions, as in the case of the president of the printers' union which has been fighting Mr. Reid for years, who is now the foreman, and the one union man in the "union" office of the Tribune. The ease with which such troubles are ad justed when they effect the election ot an interested somebody, is instructive, if not amusing. With the printers and the rail road employes satisfied, who else of their classes should "kick." And with Repub lican laborers and mechanics all in line, the millions that can be commanded by Reid and Depew and their immediate friends, ought to do the rest toward carrying New York, even in the event of the nomination of Cleveland, and that without "the assist ance of Tammany. All this aside." Mr. Depew would be a .welcome addition to the Cabinet He is affable and approachable. The social ther mometer of Cabinet circles' would go up to summer heat in the warmth ot his presence. Depew to Succeed Harrison. Moreover, the story goes, that if Mr. Depew accepts a Cabinet position, it is with the understanding that in the event of Mr. Harrison's re-election all the office holding machinery of the country, which did such valiant and successful work at Minneapolis, will be well oiled and burnished for the purpose of carrying Mr. Depew to the White House as thesuc cessor of Mr. Harrison in 1896. This may sound like one of the "lakes" which occa sionally originate here, but it is really such a nice and" comfortable arrangement all around that there may be something in it The death of ex-Secretary Blaine could hardly have given a greater shock to the public of the district had it been announced instead of that of his son Emmons. The feeling was painful, especially because of the thought that immediately followed a knowledge of the death in the minds of everyone as to the effect on the ex-Secretary. Every criticism heaped on Mr.Blaine a week ago is now changed to sympathy and multiplied a thousand-fold. Emmons was the most popular of the three sons of Mr. Blaine, all of them well known in this city. He had neither the up pishness and egotism of Walker, nor the giddiness and f ractiousness of James. His own personality is apparently wholly for gotten, however, in thoughts of the terrible shock the news will give to the ex-Secretary. The Superstitions at It Again. Again the superstitious are quoting the sinister character of the old Seward house, and they predict that calamity will fall thick and fast upon the remaining members of the family if Mr. Blaine does not at once sell or give away the "hoodooed" place. With 100 Democratic members of the House and 25 of the Senate at Chicago, or on their way there this evening, with oth ers sick or taking an outing, no work of im portance may be expected until the begin ning of the week after next The House, after doing nothing yesterday or to-day, coolyl (if anything r can be cool in this stifling weather) adjourned until next Wednesday, as long as was possible under the law. Next Wednesday an ad journment will probably be taken until the following Monday. Time is how of less con sideration than comfort, and it may be ex pected that things will go very leisurely until the day of final adjournment. "I suppose the Democrats will dodge the silver question, jnst as the Republicans did," said the great and really good free coinasre Bland to me to-day. "The necessi ties of party politicians are always 'par amount to the necessities of the people, and so both parties fall into the arms of the Wall street gold kings. Such conditions must inevitably pro duce, possibly in connection with other things, a new party. With a free coinage tax ticket, and a platform that wonld take in the Alliance and People's parties, the West and South could elect the next President and Vice President. But I suppose it'stoolate now to begin this year." Enterprise Heaping Its Own Kewiird, For long years a large lot of land has been lying vacant on the avenue, just where E street is lost in the great thoroughfare. It belonged fo one of the millionaire families ot the Willards, who own nearly all the property of the four half squares on Fourteenth street, from G to Pennsylvania avenue, including the great hotels, the Nesbit and Willard,as well as the buildings occupied by the denizens of the renowned newspaper row. The lot referred to has just teen secured on a 50-years .lease, grouna rent, irom tue owner, oy ex-congressman Beriah Wilkins and ex-Postmaster General Frank Hatton, and on it they in tend to erect a great newspaper building as a new home for the Washington Pott, of which they are proprietors.

This newspaper structure, just around the corner from "The Row," and only two doors from the luxurious and spacious home ' of the National Capitol Press Club, with its nearly 200 members, will more than ever tend to concentrate the newspaper workers of the Capitol in that most interesting region of press and tele graph laborers and great hotels, crowded within a few squares, and close to the grandest Government bnildings in the world.

"Indiana will present Governor Gray's name,' he said, "and Ijse lieve will vote solidly for him on the first ballot" Senator Vorhees will make the nominating speech himself. "Could he carry New York?" "They tell us that Mr. Cleveland can't carry New York because of his antagonism to Senator HilL And then we hear that Senator Hill can't carry New York because of Mr. Cleveland's friends. Well, I don't pretend to understand the situation in New York thoroughly. Mr. Cleveland is my friend. But if neither he nor Senator Hill can carry the State, we must obviously look elsewhere for a leader. The Democracy must have New York. We have a clear majority of the voteri of that Btate. The only thing a Democratic candidate has to do in New York is to get the full vote of his party. Governor Gray is not identified with either ot the' factions, and I see no rea son why he should not get the full strength of the party," "Is Governor Gray any stronger than he was four years age? He" was rejected then for second place on the ticket" "We lost Indiana that year, too," the Senator replied. "Would Gray have carried the State against Harrison?" 'T don't believe there is any doubt as to that, nor do I donbt that he would carry the State this fall." CAMPBELL'S TSIKND8 ALABXED Over the Proposition to Hake Ulm the Permanent Chairman. Chicago, June 18. The friends of ex Governor Campbell, of Ohio, are somewhat alarmed over the proposition to make him Permanent Chairman of the convention. Bearing in mind the recent experience of the Republican delegation from Ohio at Minneapolis they are fearful history may repeat itself. While they are proud of the honor that it is suggested be given their favorite, they are apprehensive it may sub ject him to charges of an embarrassing nature. They say that while the respective atti tudes bf Governor McKinley and ex-Governor Campbell are not exactly similar, and Campbell has announced his intention of voting for Cleveland, occupying this posi tion, should votes be cast for him by the anti-Cleveland men, with the hope of stam peding the convention in his direction, nothing could ever convince the followers of Cleveland that Campbell had not acted in consonance with a well-arranged plan. The Ohio men now here say they would much prefer that ex-Governor Campbell should take his place quietly in bis delega tion and await the drift of events OPPOSITION TO HTJGWTJttPS More Than Hatred or Cleveland Canses the Hlllltes' Dflanc. Chicago, June 18. Ex-Secretary Whit ney had some novel ideas on the situation to-day.

We have got to have the new recruits in order to win. Where I think Injustice Is done is in statements identifying Mr. Cleveland with mugwump methods, as tnoush Mr. Cleveland was not a xood party man him self. Mr. Whitney declared that the vote of the State did not show any bitterness toward Cleveland, and cited fignres to show that Cleveland got more votes in 1884 than in 1882, more in 1888 than in 1884, and more in 1888, also, than the total for the Democratic candidates for Congress, where there were contests. According to Mr. Whitney, Hill got less votes than Cleveland, Cook or Jones when on the ticket with either. HOT QUITE ENOUGH TO NOMINATE. Cleveland Flnres Show That Grorer Lacks 33 of Securing the Prize. Chicago, June 18. A member of the Executive Committee of the Syracuse dele gation to-night gave out a statement claim ing that Mr. Cleveland had 66 votes, or 33 short of the necessary two-thirds. He took for the basis of his calculation a vote of 461 given by an anti-Cleveland man as the strength of Mr. Cleveland. This 461 was made up by States. Illi nois, with 48 votes, is the largest vote on which Mr. Cleveland's friends assert that the figures are wrong. This is given solidly to Mr. Cleveland, under the nnit rule. Other States in which it is claimed the anti Cleveland figures were too small were: Georgia, 2?Tdaho, 6; Kansas, 12; Massa chusetts, 7; New Hampshire, 2; Pennsyl vania, 6; Texas, 14, and Washington, 8.

NOTES PROM NEIGHBORING TOWNS rSrZCtAL TILKOBAX TO THI OIRPATCH.I Canton, June 18. During a severe thunder storm .a house occupied by a man by the name of Barnes was struck by light ning. A 16-year-old girl, Anna, had her left shoe torn off and her olothes badly burned, but, strange to say, no Injury -was done to her body. Mrs. Barnes was badly injured, and five other members of the fam ily were severely shocked. There was a large orowd in attendance at the picnic of the Brotherhood of Trainmen at Nineveh, Pa., to-day. About 2 o'clocka thunder storm suddenly came up, and flash after flash broke through the elouds. Five large trees adjoining the platform were struckcreating a panic among those as sembled there for shelter. Five ladies fainted and a number of others'were af fected by the shock, but none fatally. At 3 o'clock this afternoon a heavy hail storm passed over the southern end of Blair county, Pa., doing great damage to garden truck. At the County Home the windows in the front of the budding were nearljr all brokeq. Acres of growing corn were mined and wheat and oats were flattened. Nearly every farmer living on the path of the storm suffered severely. During a violent storm at Massillon last night lightning played a queer freak at the farmhouse of Jacob Mathie, six miles north of town. A bolt entered the sleeping apartment ot Mrs. Mathie and child by coming down the chimney, literally wreck-, ing the bed in which they slept, and left the occupants unharmed except a shock, which they both felt. A sudden flash of lightning during the storm near Washington, Pa., last evening, instantly killed Enoch Jones, aged 18 years, who lived near Vanceville. Young Jones wai plowing corn, when the storm came up. Mr. Frost, who was holding the plow, sought shelter and eseaped, but Jones said he would remain on the horse's back. An instant alter both the boy and the horse were stricken dead. There was not a mark or scratch on Jones' body to show where the bolt had entered. A special telegram to The Dispatch from Wheeling says: The strangest elec trical storm on record occurred here from 8 to 9 o'clock this evening. At times the earth and sky were as brilliantly lighted as at noon on a sunny day, yet there was little thunder. Balls of iire descended in the southern sky and burst in varied colored flames. At times the'whole sky seemed to be raining fiery snskes. Onlj a slight shower followed, but at the height of the electrical display the wind was almost a hurricane. One minute before the storm every star was shining. It struck the streets full of people. Children were up set; men and women had hard work to keep their feet, while barrels, boxes and the like were carried to the housetops. A special from Plymouth, Pa., says that the house of Orlando Addison, 14 miles back from Sbickshinny, was struck by lightning during Thursday's storm. The bolt killed a 15-year-old daughter of the owner and set fire to the house, which was entirely consumed. The body .was rescued with difficulty. STRUCK BY IKE HAR1EE. The Lie Passed and Cleveland and Hill Men Come to Blows. Canton. O.. June 18. fpecfoZ. The Hill delegates from the Eighteenth district left for Chicago to-night. Delegate John C Welty, whose father is one of Colorado's silver mine owners, was one of the number.

There seems to be little probability of nnion among the contending factions in Ireland, but ot course, I hope harmony will prevail.

The protest of the Ulster men -against home rule, I firmly believe, will have no effect on the Liberal partv.

GOSSIP FE0M THE OLD FATHERLASD ICOPTniOHT. 189!. BT If. T. ASSOCIATED PZS. Berlin, June 18. The leading topic of conversation in court and diplomatic circles is the projected conference between the Czar and Emperor "Francis Joseph. 'It ii understood that the conference was first suggested bv Emperor William at the recent meeting between himself and the Czar at Kiel. Communications on the subject have slnee been exchanged between St. Petersburg and Vienna, which promise to result in the ex tention of a formal Invitation by the Czar to Emperor Francis Joseph to take part this ' autumn in the Imperial hunting expedition at Spala, Poland. The utmost importance is attached to the arrangements, as tending to modify tbe Russian entente with France. The official feeling here is sanguine enongh to hope that a personal exchange of views between Emperor Francis Joseph and the Czar will succeed in detaching the latter from the French alliance and lead to the permanent settlement of the irritating Balkan question. - No special significance is attached' to King Humbert's visit to Ber lin. Bismarck Will Nover Apoloeii. The latest phase of the controversy that has arisen over the reports of a reconciliation between the Emperor and Prince Bismarck discloses the rottenness of the whole affair. The Yfett Deutsche AUeganeine Zcitung, Bis marck's new organ in'Cologne, denies that any overtures looking to a reconcili ation have been made by either side. It says that Baron Stumm, after the Emperor visited him.'was tbe guest of Prince Bismarck. The, Baron communicated to the Prince certain re marks that had been made by the Emperor, disapproving of the tone ot rertain semi official papers toward the ex-Chancellor. Nothing more was said, except that Baron Stumm seems to have suggested that Prince Bismarck take the initial in seeking to re establish a reapproachment by making some form of apology to His Majesty. On this point, adds tbe paper, Prince 'Bismarck cannot admit, even if the ad mission led to his reinstatement in office, ever trying to do wrong to the Emperor. It is the Prince's enemies who ought to ask pardon before theEmperorand the country. The internal history of the events which led to Prince Bismarck's retirement from the Chancellorship cannot be revealed now, but alt precautions have been taken to pre vent' the future passing. an incorrect judg ment Germany's Sympathy With Sa'lsbnry. The Government is watching with the keenest interest the development of the approaching election in England.

A Simple Remedy Recommended to Get Rid of the Potato Disease. BT CABLE TO TBE DISPATCH. LONDOif, June 18. The potato disease, one of the great curses of Ireland, has lately been occupying the minds of the British Board of Agriculture, and they have after many experiments hit npon a remedy which has been embodied in a small pamphlet. The treatment is simple, ex peditious and cheap. It consists in the application to the growing crops of a mixture of sulphate of copper and lime dissolved in water. From obser vation and record of innumerable experi ments carried on in Fr.ince, Belgium and the United Kingdom, it is found that 25 pounds of sulphate of copper, with 12)4 pounds of lime dissolved in 100 gallons of water, makes the proper strength of so lution. The tint dressing is given between the 15th and 23th of Jnne, the disease usually making its appearance in the first fortnight of July. The second dressing is applied after an interval of 18 to 20 days,and further dressing if the disease persists. As to the qnantity put on, it curiously varies from 53 gallons per acre, recommended by one authority, to 160 by another. The result is said to be successful in all caser.
