1t Attempts to Take Quarters In n Boston
Depot.
BosroS, June 25.-"There's wild cat or
leopard in the depot" said NightWatchman
King, Of the Albany Railroad passenger
depot, to Sergt. Blanchard to-day.
The thoHght of facing such an intruder at
first frightened the guardian of the peace,
but reinforced by FIVE patrOlmen he formed
them in single 6le and marched into the
depot. Under the direction OF the watch
man they went to the ladies room, where,
lying quietly near the steam pipes was a
leopard about the size of cat. Two of the
officers stationed themselves behind setteeS
and at once opened FIRE on the invader, but
failed to dislodge hiR, though they shot the
settees and cushions fsIl of holes in the at
tempt
Thinking the animal had escaped from
Watts menagerie, the Sergeant sent word
to him, and he was SOON at hand. Wrap
ping a large gummy bag around his hand
he walked up to the leopard, grabbed him
by the neck and thrust him under his arm,
but while passing through an ante room the
animal again escaped and took refuge un-
der settee. After much trouble he was
lassoed, placed IN bag and taken to his
quarters 1t was found that he had made
his escape by gnawing hole'in the top Of
his cage and then jumping from a second
s;ory window to the street.

John S. Barbour, chairman of the State Ex-
ecutive Committee and delegateat-large, is
for Flower on the first ballot. Page Nc
Carly, editor of the, Campaign, also dele

Richard F. BeirHe, editor of the State and

TIE VOICE OF OHIO.

Ohio is great State. Ohio is an iuau-
entail State. And when Ohio speaks her
voice is heard to the uttermOst parts Of the
land. Ohio spoke on yesterday. The sound
of that voice has gone ringing out all over
this great country, touching responsive
chords in millions of hearts.
There was but one word spoken. What
magic in that word IL was a name. Yet
name that is talisman in itself To
every Democratic heart, to every lover of
justice and to every hater of wrong, to
every advocate of administrative reform
and to every champion Of pure government
the name Of TILDEN is very precious
name That name was the one word spO-
ken by the assembled Democrats of Ohio
in convention at Columbus yesterday.
TILDES is the one man whose nomination
would be in itself policy-whose name, as
n Presidential candidate, would hold every
Democrat in line, and attract thousands of
men whose allegiance to party is not strong.
His nomination would create the widest
enthusiasm. He is strong everywhere. His
claims do no; rest upon any mere basis Of
locality Democrats would turn out to the
last man in his enthusiastic support. Minor
differences would be set aside, local jealous
les would disappear, united party, deter
mined to vindicate the right would begin
the campaign with an assurance Of victory,
and all opposing forces would be powerless
10 check its onward, triumphant march.
TLDEN is no aspirant. He declares thai
he is no candidate There has been no
boom created for him through the agency
of active working adherents, but it comes
through the instructive turning Of the
masses to him as the champion of reform
and purity in government. He is the lead
er whom the people want to follow. They
want him to become candidate for the OF
fee to which he was once elected that
American law and right should be vindi-
Gated, as they were violated in his person.
That is the united expression Of the euthu-
siastic Democrats Of the great State Of
Ohio
If the unanimous voice of the national
Democracy should proclaim him their can
didate would Mr.. Tildea again decline?
NAV be asked. He has no voice in the
matter lie has already said he submits to
the will of the Almighty. This would bs
the voice of God Tor poPUi ror Del

CHICAGO, June 25.-Four very small gen
alemen, with very slight mustaches and clad
IN very peculiar clothes, Hoated into the
Palmer house Yesterday morning. From a
,dude point Of view, ;keir clothes were ex-
ceedingly peculiar; for, while that onni-
,so-oas biped seeks Cor rsiment as close-ht-
aing and scant as possible, these gentlemen
reveled in sleeves as wide as bishops, and
,in apparel which WAS loose and airy, but in
no wise confOrmatOry TO existing fashion
They were four Japanese, en- route east.
The party comprised I. houlko, who Is
roing TO New York to establish there a
branch of the Yokohama special bank; NJ,
Frigishima, who goes to France to act there
,as the japanese consul at Lyons; n. hu-
D,aschi. who will be his secretary, and y.
Notekma, who is to Join the Japanese en-
Iassv AT Washington The entire party
registered from TekiO, Japan.
II During the day they attracted great
deal of attention at the hotel At meal
times their desires for extraordinary dishes
was complicated by an inability on their
mar 10 make their desires known in inteli-
'Gible English and the result was an Innlg-
I. nant crowd eG negro walters, and an eN'

pired that fruits and iced drinks were the
.desiderata of the foreigners, and IN conse'
.ouence did one open his mouth he was
forthwith presented with a dish OF berries berries;
while a seeOUd exclamation would surely
procure s1me cooling fluid. They were
dressed in national costumes, and wore pnr
ME and 6ne linen IN profusion.

lists Begins.
BERLIN, June 25.-Feld Marshal Baron
Won Manteuffel, Governor of Alsace-Lor-
raine, has begun q vigorous and relentless
warfare against socialism in that province.
He has dissolveda number of workingmen's
associations, evening schools, and benefit
societies, charging that they were vehicles
,or the propagation of socialistic doctrines
and were, in fact nurseries and hot-beds Of
sedition. Among the benefit organizations
thus suppressed is the Germania Society
and, as its members are almost all Germaus,
much surprise and Indignation are expressed
at its suppression. The measures for the
repression of socialism have also extended
to expulsion from the province Of two work
men named Diebal and Froedler. The spe-
ci6c charge against these men is that they
have been endeavoring to secure the elec-
ton to the German Reichstag Of Herr Aug
Bebel, the famous socialist leader, who Is
now member Of the Saxony Diet. The
severity of these measures form a marked
contrast to the hberality which has hitherto
characterized the rule Of Baron Won Man
teufFel, and it is said that he has received a
hint from Prince Bismrrck to the effect that
he must stamp out socialism at any cost or a
new Governor would be appointed for Al
sace-LOrraine.
