NO. 6.

! ing about the matter until af-
ter 1t had al been disposed of
Last night the convention adjourned
on the 1,25oth ballot at 8 o'clock. Some
objected to an early adjournment, pre-
| ferring to keep on with the l 1 TO IA re-
frain so as to surely exceed the record of
| l,o2l ballots taken in Singleton's dis
trlct IN Illinois. 1t was generally agreed,
| however, that the convention shall con-
| tnue IN session until the Singleton
figures have been beaten.
AT the breakfast table this morning
! the second lieutenant Of the Fond du
Lac delegation, Alfred X. Hamilton.
argued with several OF the Delaney
leaders, to prove that if Delaney would
| be magnanlmouS and allow Bragg to be
nominated at once, such graceful act
would give him great prestige in the
district" "Oh, damn the prestige"
cried Benjamin Franklin Sherman, be.
tween the two liberal mouthfuls ofsteak,
damn the prestige; its the nomination
we came after, and we're going to have
1t, too " Further talk on the same
subject brought forth this declartion
from the Delaney leaders: "Gen.
Bragg never can be nominated by this
convention. We have settled on that,
and will remain here until election
day to carry oat the programme"
1t is wholly impossible 20 obtain
from Bragg any declaration of policy
or programme. He will not say
whether he intends to make All indie
pendent run Ill case of failure to secure
| the nomination.
Mr.. Delaney was asked this morning
what his programme is and he replied:
So far rs | know our boys have no
programme. They came here to make
congressional nomination and pro-
pose to carry out their Intentions.
Bragg and Delaney run against each
other very frequently, but neither one
speaks to the other.
The German newspaper that reported
Bragg as drinking is, freely inn
bibing intoxicantS published what is
not true. He Is smoking but not drink
ing.
This morning Delaney sang Crock
of Ages" with considerable spirit, and
Bragg related q lsughable story to
miscellaneous crowd with his old-time
| ZeSt.
The veteran editor Michael Bohau,
made canvass of the delegates in the
interest of the democratic party, adyo-
eating a secret written or printed bal
lot, i'll which each man could vote as
he might see fit, without restraint. All
the Delaney men favored the plan as
did also two out of every three of the
Bragg men. When the vote was taken
on the question, however. the lash was
put to the Bragg men and they all
voted may" The Delaney men claim
this "means Il heap" and they are in
better spirits than ever.
Shortly after 8 o'clock this morning
the dreary monotony of the convention
proceedings began on the 1251st ballot,
with the same unpregnant result
to If.
NO CHANGE.

THERE is good deal Of illusion about
the Iisc Of the Nile. it seems to be
thought that for few weeks the delta
and the valley Of the Nile are lake,
and then that they are a muddy
swamp. The water Of the Nile flows
into canals; from thence it is pumped
every morning, as long as the rise lasts,
into small rills, which pormeate the
fields, which are thus irrigated every
morning. The water evaporatcs every
day, leaving in the evening dry mud.
Thus, except III some lOw.lying dis
tricts, there never IL an expanse Of
water or mud

In Its issue or July the London
Times gave some disclosures in regard
to the operations of the dynamite sec
ton of the Fenian party, whose main
offices are in New York and Chicago.
DIR. Shine, of the former city, is credit
ed with the leadership, and is believed
to control funds amounting to $40, 900
at time. A plot is said to have been
matured to capture Princess Louise on
projected trip to Manitoba, but she
remained in England because of a
warning. Plans were laid to blow up
the floating dock at Bermuda, and men
were actually at work in that port.
O'DonOvan Rosa tells the New York
reporters that the greater portion Of
the article is true, and that dynamite
school is in operation.

who fought three rounds, but the audi
ence interrupted with cries for the chief
attraction. When Wilson and Sullivan
appeared, the vast mass rose and cheer
ed. The betting was 500 to S75 in ia
vor of the American. Wilson was to re-
ceive 81 900 if he fought four rounds,
and half the gate money. He walked
over to Sullivan and offered to bet ST.
600 that he would not be knocked out
of time, but the latter declined to wa
ger anything more. Wilson was knock
ed down twenty-seven times, but brave
ly and cunningly stood out for the four
rounds, and won his allowance. The
battle lasted fifteen minutes.
