CAMERoN's MEN In CONFERENCE.
Discussing without Action the Project for
Uniting the Party.


PHILADELPHIA July 6.-Senator Cameron
came here to-day, but remained few
hours only. He had talk with candidates
Beaver and Brosius, Chairman Cooper, Secre-
tary of the Commonwealth Quay, Collector
Hartranft, Frederick Magee of Pittsburg,
and others with reference to the project for
uniting the Republican factions.
General Beaver said, after the conference,
that no decision had been reached with a
view OF efiecting harmony. He thought
that diverse views would be expressed at
the meeting Of the State Committee on
Wednesday next. If the other candidates
attend the meeting he will also, otherwise
he will not. He does not know whether or
not the committee will favor the designations
of the candidates on condition that the In
| dependent nominees also resign, and let
| the people send delegates to new conven-
| ton. He will abide the decision of the
committee. He emphatically expresses the
belief, however, that the regular ticket will
| be elected, whether union shall be attained
or not. IL is understood that Chairman
Cooper's proposition to let the people decide
at "primaries" which ticket shall stand was
regarded with favor.

| already declined this proposition. tits said
that the question of selecting successors tc

A Mosquito Guard.
fphila,Ielnhia Record, }


The song OF the mosquito is again heard
in the land and there comes a great wall
from the river sides and ocean beaches of
Delaware and New Jersey, a cry to heaven
against the invading myriads of pestiferous
and patience-exhausting insects. Down in
Delaware and the eastern Sho' " the in
habitants have lighted their great fires and
filled the whole country with smoke i'll
desperate attempt to drive back the count
less hordes. In some portions OF New
Jersey, where the mosquitoes have been
terrible plague in the past, the experience
of growing the castor bean plant has :. been .s
found to produce gratifying results 1t was
known that the casteroil plant is fatal to
flies and that it can be grown successfully
in New Jersey. As it drove away the lilies,
1t was argued that it would prove as deadly
a foe to the smaller insect, with the attenu-
ated proboscs and the most siren song oi all
the insect tribe. Where the experiment has
been made the mosquito has skipped fof
more pleasant pastures, and less fatal fields
In view of this fact there has been great
boom in castor-bean planting.
