Especial Despatch to the Free Prcss.1

rapccmj Despatch to the Free Press
WAsnINGroN. July 2.--General Black
commissioner Of pensions, is becoming
famous for his grlrilness to his supcriors
as well as interiors \ few days ago a
Democratic member of the House com
mittee on pensions called ON the general
to inquire in regard to a certain law IN
which his committee were to act. He
sent in his card and received the answer
to "wait while and perhaps the general
could he seen" He waited but there was
fire in his eye and he mentally resolved to
give the physical wreck a piece of his
mind. After strolling about in the cor
ridOr of the Office and being numerically
guyed by the messengers and attendants
generally for a couple of hours, he was
admitted through the iron door to the
august presence of the commissioner of
pensions and was greeted with an assum-
ing "What do you want - II wish to
inquire your opinion in regard to sec
ton -, - replied the member of the com
mlttee ON pensions. ION don't bother
me about it, 90 to somebody else, Pm
81 haven't time to talk to you, so please
don't bother me any longer" And the
general buried himself in the surround
ing papers, getting up evidence for the
next batch of pension Vetoes.
The member of Congress went back to
the capitol and reported his interview to
his colleagues, and it is needless To add
that the commissioner and the committee
do not speak as they pass by. 1t is but
fair to presume that II Gen. Black had
known that his visitor was Congress
men and member of committee OF so
much Importance to him, he would have

YOUNG CANADA.
Convention of Delegates Dissatisfied with
the Colonial System.

MONTREAL, July 1.-The young mems
liberal convention assembled yesterday to
organize. Sixty different delegations
ranging from Manitoba and the North
west territories to the maritime PROV
nces were represented. 1t was pro-
posed that Canada should obtain the
right to negotiate its own commercial
treaties with foreign nations. The con-
ventlon was unanimous on that propo-
sition, but lively discussion was con-
tinued for several hours on further
proposition favoring the complete indie
pendence of Canada. Considerable excite
ment prevails in reference to what will
be the final result at the next sitting
Several speakers pronounced for anneXa-
ton TO the United states as the ultimate
destiny of Canada but not single speaker
favored the present colonial system nor the
proposed federation of the British empire
The great majority of the delegation were
strong Independents, but divided ON the
question of the ACCESSIBILITY OF bringing
mp tins new issue at the coming elec

SHENANDOAH, Pa, July when the
miners employed at the Knickerbocker
colliery, near here, went 10 work this

CINE house at the foot of the slope was dis
covered in flames Work was suspended
and spare hands We're sent down to eX-
tinguish the flames, which had spread TO

centrated on the work is now fighting the
flames with hopes of finally suppressing
them. The origin is not known.

The interest in to-days race was greater
than in any for the last eight years.
Trains from east and south arriving dur
ing the night brought large delegations,
as did the boats from New York. EXcur-
sion trains were run on all roads and were
crowded. Hundreds of applications for
seats on Il long observation train

crews from the start TO the finish
were refusen, the accommodations being
inadequate. The immense grand stand at
the start was packed as closely as could be,
as were the points of advantage along the
banks. On the river the scene was much
the same, crafts of every description be-
ing anchored along the course as closely
as possible while a score of steamers and
tugs followed along the course on the out
side. The betting was quite lively, odds
being slightly in favor OF Yale.

The Magnet I'm the Corset.

A young lady Of Columbus about to visit
the generating station Of the electric light
company, was told to leave her watch at home
lest 1t might be magnetized by the strong
electric currant. She did so, but complained
afterward that her watch would not eep good
time. She sent 1t to Q jeweler, but he report
cd that IL was not magnetized and kept good
time Still, whenever she carried IT her time
was too slow, although when she left it In her
room 1t ran correctly. A gentleman who
knew OF the circumstances suggested to the
young lady that she wear another pair Of cor
sets when next she carried the watch. She
did 30, and had no further trouble with the
watch. The steel springs in her corsets had
been magnetized.
