The Struggle to Secure the Democratic
National Convention.

Inc struggle To secure the Democratic
National Convention.
WASHINGTON, February 20th.-Delega-
tons from Western cities are as busy as
bees tonight striving to secure the next
National Democratic Convention. The
three principal legations-Chicago, st.
Louis and San Francsco-are all located
in Willard's Hotel, and all claim to be con-
tdent of success. All three unite in de-
claring that the Convention will go West.
and assert that the Cincinnati people real
lze that their fight is almost hopeless. One
OF the three delegations (San Francisco) is
most enthusiastic and it is admitted by the
st. Louis delegation that tonight the talk
runs towards the Pacific coast, but they as
sert that this is due to the extravagant pro-
misses that are being made.
The Chicago delegates are quieter, but
their plan OF campaign is well defined, and
each committee does what is allotted to it
and reports to headquarters without max
ing much noise. Naturally the rival dele
cations are unwilling to say much. except
in general way, about their expectations.
When asked if they would have eighteen
votes, Mr.. Tarpey, the San Francisco rep
resentative, said; Yes, we will have
more than that"
The st. Louis people say they expect to
be well up with the procession, and Chicago
is evidently feared by the others. From
the best analysis possible it would seem
that San Francisco expects all the country
west of the Rocky Mountains and num-
Der Of the votes in the South. 1t is con-
ceded that Chicago will have the votes of
New England, with the exception of Prince
OF Massachusetts,, who favors st. Louis.
This, with the favor of the Northwest and
some support of the central portion, will
give the lake city good showing to start
off with, and it expects to add enough votes
to secure the Convention after a ballot or
two of " filial respect" is given by the
committeeman to their respective cities.
st. Louis strength will come from the
Mississippi Valley and the Southwestern
States and Territories, and it is said that
some Southern States favor St. Louis as
their second choice after San Francisco.

THE WOOL INTEREST.
Foreign Ship-owners Working to Make
Wool Free of DUTY.

Foreign Ship-owners Working to Make
Wool Free of Duty.
ICopyig, 1885, by the California Associated Press.I
New YORK, February 2Oth.-Interyiews
in this mornings Tribune indicate another
interest is striving for the introduction of
free wool. Four companies here are inter
ested in the carrying trade between this
port and Australian ports wholly by sea.
A member of one of these firms tells the
Tribune: The most dscouraging feature
of the trade is that there is no home trade
for returning vessels beyond three or four
cargoes OF wool year. If we could i'm
port Australian wool, and could have a
home trade equal to the outgoing one, we
could make our round charters much
cheaper and outbound rates of freight lower
and could soon take fair share of trade"
The Commercial Bulletin, reviewing the
exports and imports in 1887, sums up the
wool statistics as ollows: There was a
large decrease in the imports of wool. of
which only 105,000,O00 pounds came in
against 13l, 100000 pounds in the previous
year, but considerably less of the wool i'm
ported was afterward sent abroad to find
market. In 1886 over ten million pounds
OF foreign wool was thus exported, and i'll
1887 less than five million pounds. The
imports of woolen goods amounted to S45.-
065,9S6, against $43, ,995. .641 in the previous
year, the large increase appearing in dress
goods, wooden cloths and rags, shoddy and
waste. while the imports of the wear de.
clined more than two million pounds, and
imports OF carpets about one hundred and
forty thousand square yards.

THE FISHERIES TREATY.
Conflicting Opinions as to Which Side the
New Treaty Favors,


WASHINGTON, February 20th.-The Sen.
ate IN secret session to-day listened to the
reading OF the fisheries treaty, and then for
an hour there ensued an earnest but unsuc-
cessful struggle to make it public The
lead IN the matter was taken by Senator
Frye, who is anxious that his constituents
shall be informed authoritatively as to
what they have to hope from the matter.
The motion was generally supported. and
would have been successful but for the
discovery that the Senate is powerless. in
the face OF its own rules, to do what it de-
slres. To publish the document now
would require change of the rules. and to
make the change-or even to discuss the
proposal to make cbange-requires pre-
ylous notice Hence, as the matter is ex-
pecfed to come from Ottawa within a day
or two, the Senate contents itsele with send
ing the treaty to the Public Printer to be
printed in confidence
ihe provisions of the document are said
to De very much as the papers have already
stated them. That which seems to have
fastened itself most firmly upon the Sena-
tonal memory as the hasty reading was
progressing, is the provision that the priv
iiege OF going into Canadian ports to buy
balt shall be withheld by Canada unless
the United States Congress passes laws for
the tree admission of fish and oil.
The document is commented upon by
one side as practically coDceding that the
Canadian contention has been correct as TO
the Interpretation of the scope of the treaty.

freed himself, and seizing large hammer
hit the fireman two heavy blows on the
back of his head. The latter fell senseless,
and Curler, again seizing the lever, started
the engine toward the city. Latta, on COM
ing to, made a leap from the engine into a
snow-drift, and hurrying to Windsor Beach
gave the alarm. Meanwhile the mailman
had ran his engine past Windsor Beach
eastward toward Webster, eighteen miles
distant.
Telegraphic orders stopped all the trains
at that point, and the switch was so turned
that Curriers' engine would be wrecked if
he attempted to pass Webster. Then, for
three hours, the madman ran the locomo-
tive furiously from Webster TO Windsor
Beach and back, and might have kept the
circus up indefinitely had not his fuel given
out. He was finally captured and sent in
charge of two officers to Oswego.
