PROTECTION THE ISSUE, And It Is Being Made the Most of by All Parties in England. EED-HOT TOLITICS OVER THE SEA. Enock-Down .Arguments Things of Everj Day Occurrence. CmDIAXS IX LONDON TO CELEBRATE BY CABLE TO TOE DISPATCH. LONDON, June 25. Copyrigte Par liament trill not be formally dissolved until next Tuesday, but tbe great electoral strug gle has begun in earnest Mr. Gladstone and tbe other leaders hare issued their manifestoes in the form of addresses to their constituents, and hare since been making speeches daily. The newspapers contain scarcely anything except politics, and there is so much of that that orators usually re ported verbatim or to the extent of a column are now relegated to paragraphs. Every where the fight is being fought with determination on both sides, and the popu lar interest and enjoyment is demonstrated by fisticuffs as well as arguments in this country and Ireland alike. Mr. H. M. Stanley the friend of Kings, who thought that the magic of his name would suffice to capture North Lambeth without serious effort on his part, has been bowled down and mobbed by quite common people, and has been glad to get for protec tion behind his wile's petticoats. Mr. Joseph Chamberlain, at Coventry, last night, had to sit down five times in tbe course of his speech, while his bodyguard threw out scores of interruptors whom he had denounced as drunken blackguards, but who were in reality over-enthusiastic Glad tonians who bad managed to get into the enemy's camp. His brother Richard, by a curious incident, bad an extremely warm experience at exactly the same time in Islington, adivition of London which he is rontesting, and like Stanley in Lambeth, had to shelter himself behind his wife. Even Ilalfonr Has Ills Torn. Even Mr. Balfour, in Leeds last night, had to speak amid continual interruptions, notwithstanding that his audience had been carefully selected and was supposed to con tain not a single Liberal. All this shows that the people are taking a keen interest in the general election, and that is a good omen for the success of Gladstone and home rule. Mr. Gladstone alone seems to be able to command universal respect. There are nererany interruptions at his meetings, and even the promiscuous crowds assembled av railway stations listen to him in respect ful silence and cheer him with unanimous enthusiasm. Dr. Clarke is reported to have said re cently: "There is no physical reason why Mr. Gladstone should not live to be 200 years old," and certainly at Chester, where he addressed a big meeting to-day, the Grand Old Man seemed to be a man in the very prime of physical and intellectual vigor. This is emphatically the time for mani festoes. Every interest threatened with Parliamentary interference has issued ap peals to the electors, and all the faddists and others who have knives to grind on the great Westminster whetstone have sent out manifestoes by the thousand. A Campaign of Education. The United Empire Trade League has spent a small fortune in mailing literature designed to prove that tne policy of imperial protection can alone save England from cure decay. But the league is not likely to get any return for its money, except, per haps, in Sheffield, where its president, Colonel Howard Vincent, is one ot tbe Tory candidates. The local organ of Torvism, tbe Daily Telegraph, has for years past been advocating protection, and apparently with consider able effect, because in Sheffield the election will be fought more upon economic ques tions than upon home rule. Sheffield, more than any other manufacturing center in England, has felt the effect of the new American tariff and McKinley is, in conse quence, a name abhorred. Major McKinley little knew when, a week or more ago, he praised Lord Salis bury 's protectionist utterances, what a scurvv trick he was playing upon the Shef field Tories. His words were cabled here, and they are at this moment placarded in big and flaming posters on the grimy walls of the cutlery town. "Vote for the "friends of McKinley and protection" is one ot many telling mock appeals issued from the Liberal committee rooms. It stares in the face thousands of men who for many months past have been walking about town with idle hands in their pockets cursing the American to whom they believe their troubles are primarily due, and talking of the good time before McKinley, when there was no stint of beef and beer and the work lngman had money to spare to back his lavorite sprinter or race norse. Salisbury A orklns; Hard. The Tories are trying hard to prove that there is nothing in common between them and American protectionists, and working men are asked to help return Lord Salis bury to power, in order that he may demon strate how little he loves Major McKinley. Tory candidates of the baser sort are mak ing unscrupulous use of the auti-popery cry started by Lord Salisbury, and emphasized by the Protestant conrentions held in Bel last, Dublin and London. According to the Ulster newspapers a dis covery has just been made at Portadown which will doubtless be trumpeted forth at many a Tory meeting as another proof of the danger of home rule to the Protestant minority in Ireland. The story is that men engaged in making a quay at Portadown hare in the course of their excavations on the river bank discovered about a dozen human skulls "and other fragments of the remains of Protestants massacred by being driren into the river by rebellious Catholics in 164L" One scarcely knows which to admire the more, the singular opportuneness of this "discovery" or the precision with which the religious complexion of human remains 150 years old was ascertained. A Tcast for the Lawyers. One curious effect of the general election is to put money into the pockets of lawyers who, as a rule, are not overburdened with briets. About tftree-fourrhs of the leading barristers practicing in the high court of Justice are candidates for parliamentary honors, and as the judges have declined to postpone cases for their convenience until alter the elections they have had to return briefs already in handand refuse others. The novel spectacle has therefore been afforded of solicitors searching in rain lor counsel. Litigants will benefit by this state of things, because, instead of paving 100 guineas lor a fashionable .barrister's services, they are now getting " men prob ably quite a? efficient for a tenth of the money. The electoral campaign has opened in Ireland with a brutal assault in streets of I Dublin upon Mr. Timothy Healy, better known to Parnellites as "Dirty Tim." Mr. Healy was pelted with stones, flour and mud, and battered about tbe head with sticks. The Parnellite newspapers described the affair as though they loved to dwell upon it. One of them described the assault as "indications of hostility." The indications being thus so strong, the real thing may prove to be little short of murder. No Sloch of an Association. The Tory newspapers publish to-day, with much delight, a declaration of the executive of the Scottish Home Kule Asso ciation, "expressing regret that they are unable to support Mr. Gladstone and his party at the coming general election." As this fateful intelligence may hare been cabled to America with a view to worry the friends of Ireland, it is as well to state that the Scottish Home Kule Associa tion, like the British protection ists, consists of about half a dozen leaders and about as many rank and file. Its executive meets once a month in a small back room in Edinburgh, and its labors heretofore have been almost confined to the publication of protests against misuse of the term British. It is understood that the association wanted Mr. Gladstone firstly to penalize such misuse, and secondly to establish a Scottish Parliament before giving home rule to Ireland. The grand old man was unable to 'acquiesce in these modest demands. Hence his excommunication. Ilie Election Overhadows All. The Queen has returned to "Windsor, but her nearness to London has not revived the dying season. Even the presence of two young and handsome foreign princes, the Duke of Aosta and Prince Ferdinand, of Koumania, tbe latter with his bride, Prin cess Marie of Edinburgh, has had no ap preciable effect, the stormy gloom of the general election overshadowing everything. The state concert given in Buckingham Palace Thursday night is said to have been in keeping with the season, comparatively few great people caring to put themselves to tbe trouble and expense in the absence of the Queen and Prince and Princess of Wales. The sight was worth seeing, however, to persons unused to such things. The concert was given In the famous state ballroom, which is 139 feet long, with a beautiful con servatory along one side and a promenade gallery on the other, on the walls of which hang some masterpieces of modern British painters. The Queen's gold plate was dis played in the tearoom, but perhaps the greatest attraction of all was the Gaekwer of Baroda, whose jewels, scattered all over his picturesque dress, put everybody else's into the shade. SOME READABLE LETTERS Soon to Be Sold, if the Royal Family Doesn't Interfere The Escapadei of Queen Victoria's Father Set Forth in a Most Minute Manner. IBT CABLE TO THE DISPATCH. ' Londok, June 25. The private advisers ot the royal family can scarcely be aware of the nature of some ot the letters in the col lection of th,e late Sir Thomas Phillips or steps would be taken to prevent the contem plated offer of them at public sale. Sir Thomas Phillips, who lived at Middle Hill, Worcestershire, was well known as a col lector of autograph letter and was justly proud of what came to be known as the Bibliotheca Phillippia. Among his treasure trove is a series of letters addressed to General Grenville, a member of the household of the gallant Duke of York,'who flourished at the begin ning of the present century. Many of these refer to the private life of Prince Edward, Duke, of Kent, father of Queen Victoria. In the spring of 1788 the young his 19th year, was at i of his tutor. Baron Prince, then in li Geneva. irV charge Wangenheim. The young Prince seems to nave been a terrible trouble to nis tutor,, who reports him as "becoming not only a gallant, but a libertine." He seemed" to have boycotted his tutor, and, the Baron reports, "goes everywhere alone, whether driving or riding." In the following year, after frequent re quests addressed to the King and the Prince of Wales for permission to return to Eng lsnd, the Prince took French leave, and im mediately on his arrival was banished to Gibraltar. Baron "Wangenheim being thus, to his great delight, reprived from his onorous position, disappears from the correspondence, and there enters on the scene one Colonel Symes, who is sent off to Gibraltar to look after the young Prince, whom he "finds is well, though not too well pleased with his situation here or my arrival." July 9, 1790, Colonel Symes writes from Gibraltar a letter of 11 pages, in which he describes the growing scandals which sur rounded the young Prince, with a fullness and frankness compatible only with a confi dential letter. Four months later there is another letter making urgent application for a loan of money to meet any pressing exigency to be used in cases where prompti tude is indispensable to prevent Prince Ed ward from appearing in a situation disgrace ful to alL A quarter of a century later, when the young Prince had become Duke of Kent and married and settled down, there is another bundle of letters, in his own hand, recording, amongst other things, the birth of the young lady who, in after time, was to be Queen of England, and to establish ine most decorous court Known in ancient and modern history. FBEHCH SECKETS SOLD. A Trotted Clerk in a Government Office Turns Ont to Be a Traitor. Paris, June 25. A clerk named Greiner, employed in the office of the Keeper Gen eral of the National Archive, has confessed that in return for bribes paid to him by Germany and Italy he has supplied to the authorities of those countries plans of the coast defenses of France. The revelation ot Griener's treachery has caused great con sternation at French headquarters, as the most jealous care had been observed to pre vent foreigners from taking sketches either of the interior or' the coast defenses of France. It is understood that an intercepted letter irom xerun gave me French authorities the proot for which they have been looking. Greiner was at once arrested and subjected to a severe examination. He was told that it rested with the authorities whether he should be prosecuted on a charge ot treason and brought to the guillotine, or should be prosecuted on the milder charge of reveal ing State secrets, with a term of imprison ment as a penalty. Greiner broke down, and although, it is claimed, no promise wag made to him to induce him to confess, he acknowledged the extent to which he had betrayed the interests of France to Ger many and Italy, practically laying bare to those two countries the secrets which France has most jealously guarded. It is stated that the plans for the improvement of Toulon defenses willprobablv be changed and that alterations will be ma'de nt. ni. points, so as to render Greiner's revelations of as little value as possible to the Triple Alliance.

King Charles of Boumania will arrive here to-morrow on a THE visit to Qneen Victoria, presumably to talk about dowries and other matters interest ing to the young people. It is understood that the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh are to be helped by the Queen in giving their daughter a portion worthy of the fut ture Queen of Koumania. They ought to be able to do so without such assistance, but it is pleaded that thev hare one expen sive son and three other daughters to pro vide for. O00D EICmSES BEING GOOD PEICES. A Sale or Masterpieces at Which Excellent Figures Were Beached. fBT CABLE TO TBE DISPATCH.! London, June 25. The sale of the Dud ley pictures ordered by the late Earl took place in London to-day. Good, and in some instances sensational, -prices were real ized, the highest being paid for a landscape by Hobbema and A. Van de Verde, presenting a rural scene suffused with bright sunshine. When this masterpiece, as all experts declared it to be, was put up there was some cheering, and the bidding proceeded amidst considerable excitement The first sum' offered was 2,000, and the picture was ultimately knocked down to dealer Agnew for 9,600 guineas. The same painte'rs landscape with travel ers passing through a wood fetched 2,300 guineas. Dealer Vokleinspaid 3,400 guineas for Francis Mieri's Masterpiece, "The En amoured Cavalier," size 16i inches by 13 inches. Three Bembrandts, "St. John Preaching in the Wilderness," "St Mat thew Holding a Pen," and "A Gentleman in Black Dress and Cap, Holding the Gloves in His Left Hand," fetched 2,500, 520, and 760 guineas, respectively. QUEEN VIC SEES THE WILD WEST And Major Bnrke becures a Lasting Ad vertisement for Bis Exhibition. IBT CABLE TO THE DISPATCH. LojfDOjf, June 25. Buffalo Bill and the Wild West show had the distinguished honor this afternoon of appearing before Queen Victoria and her court at Windsor Castle. The performance was given in the great tennis grounds, before the North towers, the Queen sitting with Princess Beatrice in a small balcony attended by Nate Sanlsburv as prime minister, who explained matters as they transpired. Forty men and 40 horses went down from London, including cowboys, Indians, gauchos and cossacks. The Queen ex pressed herself as much delighted when the performance was completed, and bad an audience of several minutes with Colonel Cody and Sanlsburv. Major Burke, the manager of the show, was also presented to tbe Queen, and on the departure of the troupe Buffalo Bill, Sauls bury and Burke were presented each with a seari pin oy air nenry fonsonby, on behaU of Victoria Kegina and Imperatrix. About 400 specially invited guests of the Queen witnessed the performance. HOW THE ETJSSIAKS BOB. Fred Bemineton Says It Is Entirely Differ ent From Any Other Way. BY CABLE TO THE DISPATCH.

TThlle Driving, a Missile Thrown by an Un known Band Strikes Elm. London, June 25. While Mr. Gladstone was driving through Chester to-day to at tend a meeting of a Liberal Club someone threw a stone and struck him near the eye. He sustained no serious injury, and an nounced that he would go on and attend the meeting. As he proceeded the crowd that had gathered cheered'him lustily. It is not known whether the stone was thrown purposely at Mr. Gladstone, but it is believed by his supporters that it was the dastardly act of some bitter enemy of home rule. Canadians to Have a Celebration. fBT CABLE TO THE DISPATCH. London, June 25. Canadians in London will celebrate by a banquet, on July 1, the twenty-fifth anniversary of the Confedera tion of Canada.

GUARDING HIST0BI0 TREASURES. The Keir Material for Life-Sized Figures Is Far Ahead of Wax. CURIOSITIES FROM SEA AND LAND fCOERESPOSDIXCX OF THE DUPATCIM Washington, June 25. The Columbian Fair is like the Afrite in the story having once got out of the casket, it swells and oc cupies all the surrounding field and fills the whole sky and makes laces at its late cap tors who let it escape. They feel that tbey did an imprudent thing, and, while the dragon roars defiance and refuses to be re strained, they hustle and try to raise money enough to build a fence around him. Naturally enough, the central heart of the great Fair will come from Washington, and this it is which is in the most advanced stage of preparation. The one characteristic of the Government's exhibit will be its pictorial character. It will be like a vast cyclorama of painted illustrations and plastic figures, a graphic blending of the imitation and the real. The finest and most precious of Uncle Sam's souvenirs will be there, so grouped by artists as to be strik ing object lessons illustrative of our progress. There have been innumerable paragraphs written about it and diffuse descriptions of parts of it: let me give you a bird's eye view of the whole remarkable Washington exhibit as matured this week. The Title-Deeds of Liberty. The pivotal feature of the Fair will be the priceless relics of our revolutionary history documents which many people visit Washington to see: the Declaration of In dependence, the petition to King George, the articles of confederation, the commis sion of Washington and his farewell ad dress, the Constitution all originals. A vast steel safe has been constructed for these, a special car has been assigned to transportit and around it will remain from first to last, in night and day relays, a de tail of soldiers with loaded muskets. So any robbers who contemplate Charley Boss ing these patriotic pets had better think at least twice before attempting it. As an appropriate setting for these natal jewels will be an emblazonment of the great seal of the United States, our most important foreign treaties, the purchase papers of Louisiana, Florida, Northern Mexico and Alaska, the official documents of Washington, Jefferson, Hamilton and Franklin, and a vast combination of bril liant draperies illustrating the growth of the fag from G. W.'s coat of arms, through John Paul Jones' gonfalon and the evolu tion of the present constellation from the 13-star flag of Captain Sam Reid. No relics of the Civil War or of the in ternational wars will be exhibited at Chi cago, except such as are necessary to mark steps in industrial progress. Belies of Christopher Colombo. Near the State Department exhibit above mentioned will be arranged the extra ordinary collection of Americana in charge of W. E. Curtis, of tbe Bureau of American Republics. "What on earth is this?" I asked him, taking hold of ten-foot shaft of rusty iron with a big ring at the top of it that leaned against the wall iu his museum, of anti quated things on Lafayette squareY" - "An anchor," he said, "minus the flukes. This is verified by the Spaniards '-who many years ago found it near tbe ruins'of Colum bus' old fort at La Navidad, to be the very anchor of his flagship, the Santa Maria, which, you know, went to wreck there and perished on Christmas Day, 1492. Bits of the vessel have been found there from time to time, and this is given us attested to by experts as a most precious and genuine relic of Columbus." I asked Mr. Curtis if he didn't think the flukes might have been bitten off by a whale that had lost his own: but he did not bear me, and went on. "These granite cubes, a foot or so in diameter, are from the walls ot the city which Columbus founded Isabella the first town in America. We have also a little brass cannon left by Columbus at La Navidad. The Caravels of Columbus. "Of course, you know," continued- Mr. Curtis, but I didn't, "that the very center of our exhibit will be the fleet of three lftln nemvals atai4 far imilu In 4awm and size of Columbus' own, now being built in Spain that country paying for the Santa Maria and we for the Pinta and Nina. Tbey will be finished this summer and towed over by a Spanish man-of-war in pleasant weather, I nope." I was then shown several interesting portraits of the great explorer, and pictures of several of his favorite birthplaces. Curtis has already collected "Columbianas" enough to fill two or three large buildings. These include 1,800 busts, paintings, photo graphs and engravings of Columbus and his family and everybody that ever helped or hindered him, and maps, charts, globes and diagrams that existed before he started from Palos on that lucky Friday. There are antique things dating back before 1492; nautical and astronomical instruments, arms and armor, books known to Columbus, an assortment of beads, hawks-bells, and other articles used by him in bartering with the natives and ot the stuff received by him in return, specimens of their arms, and clothes, copies of the first books about America, and an immense number of pict ures, books and relics ot Cortez and Pizarro and illustrations of the present American Republics. Oh, hurrying spectatorl Here's two days' work for you. And close by the side of tbe Santa Maria, Pinta and Nina, in tbe lake basins at the Chicago Fair, will lie the bltrcer shiD of the Vikings, now being built in Norway, like the ship in which Leif Ericsson discovered New England and then lost his grip four centuries before Coluzbus. Our War Balloon Service. I asked General Grant, of the War De partment, what novelties he was going to exhibit at Chicago, and he refer; ed me to Captain Thompson, temporarily in charge. "At least two that will be very striking," he said. "We shall give the first exhibi tion of a war telephone service. From headquarters will be run out a radiation of telephones, the wires being run out from knapsacks on the backs of men who hasten to the front wherever they are wanted. Orders will be sent instantly by telephone instead of slowly by mounted aides. Connected with this service will be a captive balloon an chored to tne ground by a half-inch cord concealing a wire within it, so that the man in the balloon can communicate instantly with headquarters. "The great difficulty has formerly been to inflate the balloon quickly," said Captain Thompson. "This will be effected now by a new device. Three wagons will carry steel tubes to store hydrogen gas under great pressure, with valves to regulate the outflow. When the equipment comes into battery on the field the gas is discharged simultaneously into a steel tank and thence into the mouth of the balloon for the recon naissance. It will be first publicly seen and operated at the Chicago Fair, and is sure to attract much attention from Europe ans." To Stir the Siojglth Blood. The other Jiovelty, which certainly is highly dramatic, will be a quadrilateral con taining the trophies of our Aretio exne- dition everything of interest brought backj bv Greely, Kane, Hayes, De Long, etc From corner to corner diagonally will run a screen for cycloramie effects, one side be ing painted by the War and the other by the Navy Department. In front of the former will be papier mache figures (lite size) of Greely receiving Lockwood and his companions with the dog sledge in the Far North, and on the screen in the back ground a far perspective revealing in the distance the solitary and historic cabin at Cape Sabine. It is a pathetic scene, and on the right is an iceberg SO feet high (of alum) with a white bear and walrus face to face. The other side of the canvas will present the Arctic triumphs of the navy. The War Department will bring a model hosrital fullv eauJDned and show how to handle a hospital corps in the field. It will show on life-sized figures in groups all the uniforms of the army from the organiza tiona regular Eden Musee and all the small arms it has ever used, and it will have in lively operation a manufactory of Springfield rifles and ammunition. All our modern cannon will be represented and there will 'be a Zalinsky dynamite gun in practice. What Jerry Basic Proposes to Do. No lest than 16 divisions of General Jerry Busk's Department -will be there, minutely illustrating everr governmental process "and inquiry in which a farmer can have an interest The process of forecast ing the weather will be gp ne through with every day. The National Sluseum will carry a large proportion of its enormons collection, so that that part remaining in Washington will hardly be worth visiting next summer. A life saving station will be erected at the Fair and manned by a picked crew of men, who will give a daily exhibition drill. The Treasury and Postoffice Departments and Geological Survey will bring all they have, worth shewing, and the Navy Depart ment will build on piles in the lake a fnll sized model of a warship, and therein will assemble all the bureaus and illustrate their functions. Simond's successor will be there with his, patents, and Morgan's successor with his Indians. One of the most interesting and curious of Uncle Sam's exhibit will be that of the Fish Commission, including not only speci mens of all marine life, of every attainable sort, but object lessons in propagating, pro tecting, catching and curing. The method of making models ot such fish as cannot be shown in aquariums is unique and original brand new, and calculated to astonish the world. The Models or Sea Life. Among the stores and commission houses on Tenth street is a broad three-story build ing entirely filled with the work of prepara tion, in charge of Captain Collins, a Glou cester sailor and fisherman, enjoying the rare distinction of having been once drowned and once struck by lightning, though he managed to escape from both to tell fish stories very vividly. Hundreds of boxes, packed by him, are ready to ship to Chicago besides the various complicated models and groups an ingenious waterway, stuffed alligators, sea lions, etc. The model of an Alaskan fishing village is eight or ten feet long, the sea being bf thick glass and the rocks of rough cork, the men and women about three inches high, spearing fish through a trap, with a little earth hut in tbe corner. The models of fish, of which thousands have been fabricated and fixed on boards, are made of a sort of flexible glue, which leaves the fish soft and pliant in the hand even more pliant than rubber, and, unlike it, does not become vitiated and brittle by contact with the air. Frogs and snakes thus cast painted to the life have lasted for years in precisely thj same state. The glue is shipped to Washington in its elemental condition by its inventor, one Denton, a Bay State Yankee, who seems to have done about as much for the exhibits as the inventor of the "staff" has done for the J FOR 35 CENTS 700 Men's and Boys' Shirts, made with a yoke, cuff and deep collar, in English, Crepe and Madras. A reg ular 7 5c shirt. Do not judge it by its price, but come and see how we sell shirts. 189a I r ' f TBEY ARE PREDICTING THAT THE buildings. Every creature of the briny deep and the terrestrial shallows is thus preserved and presented from, the ugly lit tle sea worms and slugs (dried for Chinese markets) to the enormous sword fish and shark. Cariosities From, the Ocean. Many curiosities are here; a porcelain door knob from the stomach of a cod, also an ossified banana though why the eater thus disposed of it passes comprehension. A lantern lost two years ago, and a boot of about the same periodare exhibited, covered and encrusted with young oysters like the old woman's shoe with infants. Among tbe beauties of the deep is an obelisk of coral six feet high, with a surface of most deli cate lace work. The processes of fishing and curing are represented by groups of men life-size and startlingly life-like, made from the glue and the yielding "flesh" feels and looks like that of actual fishermen at their work. Wax bears no comparison. Wooden models of all American fishing boats are produced from the earliest and most simple to the modern steam whaler, exactitude in tbe mi nutest proportions being maintained. On the walls will hang thousands of paintings in water-colors and sepia of American fish ing grounds, villages and equipments. It seems at this moment, that the War Department will require more room, in doors and out, than any other, with its rifle factory, its numerous mounted cannon and other large arms, its historic museum of muskets, its maneuvering batteries, its mi croscopic inquiry after bacteria, its "practi cable" hospital corps, its deploying tele phonic Kite and balloon service, and, above all, its complete working model of a nation al cemetery!

Washington, June 25. Special One cause of the very small attendance at the recent sessions of the House of Representa tives has just come to light. The Minneap olis and Chicago conventions, are not solely responsible for it, as has-been hitherto sup posed. It now appears that a number of Western members have taken advantage of the special inducements offered by the rail way companies during the conventions, in respect of low fares, etc., and have gone home for good and will not return to Wash ington until next winter. Several of tbe Pacific coast Congressmen are among the absentees. It is said by some that the number of those who have thus taken French leave is so large that it will be almost impossible to secure a quornm in the House heneefortb, bnt this is probably an exaggeration. As the recent special rates of the railways were lower than the regular miUage allowances, it is evident that frugally-inclined Con gressmen might make a handsome little sum of money by traveling homeward this month, instead of waiting until adjourn ment.

Hopeful 3Irv Harrity and his long special train bearing the Pennsylvania delegation home from the Chicago Convention arrived here early this, vening. The cheerfal Secretary of thei Commonwealth said he was almost worn! out, but he was not too tired to talk glowt ingly of Mr. Cleveland's chances oil election. I "In my mind there is absolutely no doubt of Cleveland's success," Mr. Harrity laid." "Hany well meaning Democrats who arai most anxious for the success of the party! considered him unavailable, but not dis-. tasteful. His nomination on the first ballot' in my judgment must convince those peopl that they were wrong." . "What States outside of the solid South can Mr. Cleveland carry?" -was asked. "He can carry just enough Northern States to elect him," Mr. Harrity replied without changing that sweetly sad smile ha always wears. He will carry New York-! New' Jersey, Connecticut, Indiana and Wisconsin, and probably Illinois. That' will elect him." "Yon believe, llr. Harrity, that Cleve' land can carry New York in the face of the protest against his nomination made br Bourfce Cockran and other New Yorkers?" "Yes, sir. I do. Mr. Cockran made a! most remarkable protest against Cleveland's nomination. He was deliberate and care-, ful while talking, but New York is just now so substantially a Democratic State, that we have no fear for her in the fall. Tammanv Democrats are not as bad as they , are often painted, and tbe responsibility of Mr. Cleveland's election will practically bo shifted to their shoulders. Everybody knows that their State is Democratic an!' everybody will expect Tammany to do her share toward Cleveland's election, although tbey did oppose him as the candi-t date. It was on honest difference of opinion among the delegates, and the Tammanrj leaders have already pledged their greatj organization to support the ticket, which means its election. "Besides, while the Tammany people did not name tbe head of the ticket, they dio- tated the nomination of the candidate fori Vice President, and I understand they will be allowed to name the National Chair man." "Who is likely to be named for National Chairman?" "That is a trifle hard to tell just at this time. Someone satisfactory to the Tam many people will be named, however." "Are you a candidate for the place?," "No, I am not, I am not in condition physically to assume the duties of that place. I have been greatly flattered by the men-. tion of my name for that responsible post, but if it were tendered me to-day I would not accept it," "Is Senator Quay heartily for Harrison?" was asked. "I think not," Mr. Harritv answered, as his smile broadened ont, and he hurried oft with friends. FOR 25 CENTS 670 Men's and Boys' Shirts, not cheap shirts but good 65c and 85c qualities.
