HOW REED STANDS!
The Maine Man's Chances To-day
for the Nomination.
FIGURES BY SENATOR ALDRICH j
Delegates So Far Elected: McKinley,
Kit); Heed, 111; The Field,
100; Doubtful, 48—
Total, 41)4.
Washington, April 14.—Senator Al
drich of Rhode Island gave out a state
ment last night of Mr. Reed's strength
it* compared with that of other candi
dates and says: "J think the time has
coine to let the country know some
thing about the actual standing of Mr.
Reed in this canvass. llis friends have
devoted themselves thus far to electing
Reed delegates rather than to making
claims which they cannot substantiate. '
This table which I .submit is made up
from reliable information furnished by
delegates and in some cases by chair
men of conventions. To be sure there 1
are contests in several places where it
would be unfair to prejudge the action
of the convention. Tor instance, the , <
entire Mississippi delegation will be
contested, and we place them in the
doubtful column. The only "specula
tion" iu this list is in the doubtful col
umn. "Newspaper rumors" do not fig
ure in it at all. There is no trouble
about getting delegates, alternates and
contestants; this is all a matter of
record and an open page. The table
given out by McKinley's friends on
Monday includes the unelected dele
gates from Ohio and Indiana. As well
might we include the unelected dele
gates from Maine and other states
which are for Reed, but this would
stamp such an estimate as fraudulent."

Summary of tho Estimate.
"There have 105 delegates elected," ;
he says,"who are divided betweenjMor

as doubtful. The summary, therefore,
isasfollowe: Reed, 111; McKinley, 161);
tac field, 100; poubtful, 48. Total, 404.
We make no note of the four delegates
recently elected in South Carolina, be
cause the legality of that convention j
is questioned; in any event, they would
belong in the doubtful column."

YAMAGATA PLEASED
Honor Shown tho Little Japanese
Warrior in New York State.
HUDSON SCENERY DELIGHTED Hill
Considered General Grant One of the j
Greatest Soldier* He Ever Met—Can't
Understand How States Can Have
Independent Governments.
:
New York, April 14.—N0 arrange
ments have been made as yet for a
I public military display in honor of
Marquis Yatnagata, who arrived in
; this city with his attendants over the
New York Central last night. The
little Japanese warrior is delighted
with his reception after entering New
York state, and when seen at the
! Waldorf this morning expressed grati
fication for all tho courtesies extended
to him, and especially his reception by
Gov. Morton at the executive mansion
in Albany. "When 1 caine to America
! before," ho said, "1 felt that I vvasamong
j strangers. Now I feel that I am iu a ]
i country where friends welcome me j
i with wide open arms. Instead of !
j traveling as an unknown stranger, I '
! have been made to feel that I am in
deed a welcome friend. How gratify
ing this is to me no words of mine can
express. Tho depth of my apprecia
tion neither can words speak. But 1
do not see that I deserve the honors so
I lavishly showered upon me. I have
done my duty only to my emperor and
| country. The humblest soldier of
Japan did the same. We did all we
could for our country, no more, no
less. My country fought a great fight I
and won. In coimnoa with all my |
country, I rejoice over the victory."
Delighted with Hudson Scenery. i
j The journey from Albany was of j
, particular interest to the Japanese ,
party and they repeatedly spoke of the
I magnificent scenery along the Hudson.
The general's party were in an obser
vation car on the end of the special
train, and the rapidity of the train
greatly impressed the little general.
Two or three times during the journey
the engineer threw open tho throle
and the train went a clip never before
experienced by the Japanese. They
peered through the wide observation j
I windows and with astonished looks, !
tried to gauge tho speed of the flyer.
I Considered Grant a Great General.
When the traiu reached West Point .
j the speed was slackened so that Yatna- '
gata might get a glimpse of the mili- j
tary school. At the mention of tho
name of West Point the marshal's face j
brightened up and he immediately re- 1
! called the name of Gen. Grant. Ho
said he remembered Gen. Grant very
well, and thought him tho greatest
American he had ever met. "When
, Gen. Grant was on his trip around the |
! world," said Yamagata, "he visited Ja- j
| pan. 1 was then a colonel iu the army
! and was delegated as his escort while j
>in my country. I have never forgotten
him. lie impressed me as being a noble j
man and a great general." The inar- I
quia remained in his car throughout i
the trip, and was entertained by his '
j physician, Dr Ilirai, who exercises a
; severe censorship over his patient's
; movements; Major Oshiina, the chief j
I of police of Japan, Japanese Consul
General Miyacagawa, George E. Dan
iels and J. M. Toucey of tho New York
Central railroad. Other guests aboard |
the train were Adjt.-Geu. McAlpin, '
Gen. Edmund Hayes, Gen. R. M. Whit- j
| lock, Gen. James 11. Varnum, Gen.
William C. Wallace, Gen. C. A. Wiley,
I Col. G. W. Turner, Col. Charles F.
James, Major J. F. Burbank, U. S. A.;
' Gen. M. A. Terry, Gen. 11. C. Noyes, C.
E. Storey, E. J. Weeks, A. Ilarring
j ton, and members of the press.
State Government Bother h Him.
In speaking of American institutions
and American military affairs, Yatna- i
; gata showed a remarkable amount of j
knowledge. The oue thing that trou- i
, bled him, however, was individual gov- ;
I eminent by states, lie did not clearly j
understand how each state could have |
individual government and all still be !
' subject to one central government. I
New York city was reached at shortly !
before 9 o'clock. There were about j
300 persons present at tho Grand Cen
tral depot to meet the party, including
: S. Kurino, Japanese minister at Wash
ington; 11. Shiglo, a resident of Wash
ington; G. Nagasaki of the Japanese
: bank of New York; M. Odagirl of the
Japanese consulate in this city, and
:i committee representing about lao j
i j Japanese merchants of this city and i
i Brooklyn. Eight carriages were on j
hand to convey the party to the ,
Waldorf hotel. Marquis Yamagata I
walked down the platform on the arm ;
of Gen. McAlpin and entered the first i
! carriage accompanied by his secretary J
and interpreter. The remainder of j
the party entered the other carriages, j
As they drove away from the depot
- there was considerable cheering and
I rounds of haudclapping.

ELECTRICAL FLASHES.
Roentgen ray experiments have cre
ated so great a demand for Crookes
tubes that an unusual scarcity of these
devices is the result.
Reports from several sources indicate
that a very large amount of electric
I railway work will be begun with spring '
j weather. A large proportion of this
work is to be installed in the west,
i A statistician estimates that the total !
length of the telegraph liues of the
world is 904,701 miles, while the entire
extent of wire employed 011 the same is
2,G52,553 miles, or enough to encircle the
globe at the equator rather more than
107 times.
According to Prof. Sylvanus Thomp
son, when electric arc light hisses, the
carbon, melted from one of the rods, is
actually boiling in the little crater
I formed in the end of the rod. The su- i
i perheated liquid, with blinding flashes I
of light, moves and jumps about very
i much as water does on beginning to
| boil.
j Tiie pictures made by the Roentgen
! rays are still without a generally agreed
| upon name, skotograph, shadowgraph
I and electrograph being among the
i number used by different experi- I
j mentors. The Electrical Review sag- I
; gests what appears to be a sensible and j
j appropriate name for them, namely:
| "Radiograph."
j Prof. Woodworth, of Michigan ng
: ricultural college, has been making ex
periments in killing weeds by electrici
j ty, which shows that the new method
I is both cheap and effective. A wheel-
I barrow or wagon is loaded with storage
batteries from which long wires trail
j along the ground. The wagon is then
! taken over the land to l>e cleared, and
wherever the wire touches a weed it is
j instantly killed clear clown to the roots.
THE GOLF CRAZE.
Eastern society's devotion to golf is
j deep-rooted. Besides the several flue
j golf courses at the country clubs a
■ number of people have private links
on their estates.
Theodore Ilavemeyer is credited with 1
: having given more golf prizes than any
j other man, while there is hardly a mem
ber of his family who has not walked
j off with a golf prize at some time,
j The correct golfing gowns are made
I with Norfolk jacket and ankle-length
! skirt topped by a Tarn O'Shanter cap.
j Favorite gowns are of black .cloth
1 trimmed with blue velvet, hunter's
green, blue, gray and brown.
| The model clubhouse for golfers in
j this country is the one at Newport.
, Besides golf provision is made for
| steeplechnsing and polo. All the ,
i "swells" belong to it. The site on ,
i which the clubhouse stands is claimed ,
I to be unequaled, even by English clubs. .
English girls are winning laurels ai
golf and have abandoned nearly every
| other form of outdoor sport in favor of
| it. Mrs. Rider Haggard puts up a good
I game and usually wins in any tourna
i ment in which she takes part. Prin

IT WAS NO SURPRISE
Consul-Goneral Williams' Resigna
tion Had Been Expected.
GEN. FITZHUGH LEE'S NOMINATION
Not Kvcn the Senators from Virginia
Knew That lie Was To Be
Named—Amerlcaus at Ha
vana Pleased.
Washington, April 14.—The nomina
tion of a successor to Consul General
Williams yesterday afternoon caused
no surprise in official circles although
it was not positively known outside the
president and his immediate advisers
| that the consul to Havana had actually
resigned until the name of Fitzhugh
Lee of Virginia was received by the
senate. It has been known for some
time that Mr. Williams was anxious to
he relieved of the position of consul
general and this fact has been men
tioned several times in these dispatches.
When Mr. Williams visited the United
States last year, he tendered his resig
nation, but was persuaded to remain in
i office on account of the then threat
ened seriousness of Cuban affairs. Mr.
Williams had become obnoxious to the
Spanish authorities in Havana on ac
count of liih vigorous manner of caring
for the interests of this government
and it was reported that he and Cap
tain General Campos had a personal
quarrel in which strong words were
used. In March last, Mr. Williams re
newed the expression of his desire to
relinquish the post and it is said that
he finally agreed to remain until a suc
cessor was appointed or until the end
of the open season, that is until the
present time. It has been claimed that
one of the causes why Mr. Williams did
not have the good will of the Spaniards
was that his brother-in-law managed
from the United States a West Indian
express company suspected of carrying
on an underground trade with the in
surgents.
I lis urge ills' Friends More Hopeful.
(Jen. Leo's selection was not the re
sult of any conference with the sena
tors from Virginia. Senator Daniel is
not in the city, having gone to tlie
Monticcllo celebration. His colleague,
Mr. Martin, knew nothing of the ap
pointment until the nomination was
received by the senate. The selection
is one of the president's own choice.
Gen. Lee being ono of his personal
friends. There appears to be no politi
cal sponsor for him, and no one in con
gress who knew the bent of the presi
dential mind on this question. It is
agreed on all sides that Gen. Lee will
go to Havana in thorough accord with
the president's views on matters per
taining to that island, and having the
instinct of a military officer thoroughly
implanted by years of service, will
be capable of dealing with the subject
of the rebellion there as the president
desires it should be dealt with. Gen.
Lee does not speak Spanish, but, aside
from this, is said to be well fitted for
the place, a man of strong determina
tion not easily turned aside from his
purpose. Among the friends of the
insurgents in this city the change is
looked upon as meaning that the presi
dent. is preparing to make some step in
the matter of the war in Cuba, and
some express the belief that Gen. Lee's
report of the situation may very likely
give the president ample reason to ex
tend the rights of belligerency to the
Cubans.
American* at Havana Greatly Pleased.
Havana, April 14. —The American
residents are greatly pleased by the
nomination of (Jen. Fitzhugh Lee as
the successor of lfctmon (). Williams,
American consul general here. It is
the. opinion that Gen. Lef is a man of
reputation and unquestioned Ameri
canism, and that he is the one for the
place at this juncture.

Washington, April 14.—1n the su

a writ of injunction to restrain Secre
tary Carlisle from delivering to J.
l'ierpont Morgan & Co. the 84,500,000
of the last issue of 4 per cont. United
States bonds which were alloted to
him. Graves alleges that through the
clerical negligence of the department
the notice of the acceptance of his bid
was not properly addressed and, there
fore, did not reach him in time to per
mit of his making the requisite gold
deposit within the time required, and
that his requests for delay on this ac
count were improperly refused. Treas
ury officials state that their action
was strictly in accordance with the
terms upon which bids were invited,
and they do not anticipate any embar
rassment from the action of the court

Washington, April 14.—The Wash

him.
