The machine wing of the Republican
party in New York has scored another
victory in the caucus nomination of Dir.
Platt for United States Senator. As the
anti-machine Republicans participated
in the caucus they probably submit to
the will of the majority and acquiesce in
the result. No doubt there will be some
complainings on the part of the most ex-
IRENE anti-Conkling Republicans, but
these protests will be too feeble to have
any effect In Pennsylvania the machine
element captured the Republican caucus
and nominated its candidate for Senator,
but there is revolt which may give the
managers trouble. A number Of Repub-
lican members of the Legislature. suff1-
Gent to hold the balance of power and
prevent the election of an Objectionable
candidate, pledged themselves to stand
together in opposition to the caucus
nominee. They protest against the rule
of the bosses and the means employed
by the latter to control the caucus. 1t
is quite likely, however, that the bosses
will persuade enough of the recalcitrant
members "for the good of the party" to
come over to the support of the nominee
and elect him.

In Chicago last Friday night, the
audience at McVicker's Theatre was
treated to fainting scene by Sarah Bern
hardt not down in the lines of Phedre,
which she was playing. In the last
scene of the fourth act, where Phedre
expresses longing to be left to ode
plore fate, Mile. Bernhard dropped in
a dead faint on one of the couches. The
audience generally was not aware any
thing wrong had happened until the
prophecies of the scene were disturbed
by the appearance among the assembled
Greeks of several stage hands and
"supers" in their shirt sleeves, headed
by the stage manager, who bore Bern
hardt behind the wings. The curtain
then descended on a rather picturesque
mingling OF ancient and modern cos
tunes. The orchestra had to play
double time before Mile. Bernhard was
sufficiently recovered to drag YEARLY

STARTLING IF TRUE.-The New Or.
leans Democrat says: "Some rabid Ken
tuckians have organized a society fol-
the purpose of destroying the Cincinnati
Southern Railroad. Such, at least, is
the story as a correspondent of the

society, the G. S. r. r. D. c., of
Kentucky, was organized in a spirit of
revenge on account of the abuse and de.
nunciation poured on the people of
Kentucky by the press and citizens of
Cincinnati. The Commercials cores
pondent declares that the society is un-
willing to injure innocent persons, but
is determined to destroy the whole road,
and will begin on the bridges. In pur-
suance of this policy the High bridge
over the Kentucky river win be burned
at once as a warning to all persons not
to travel on the Cincinnati Southern
Road. "
