WASHINGTON, Feb. 23-Secretary Bayard

either to ignorance or malice. No inteii-

LONDON, Feb. 23.--In the House Of Lords
this evening Lord Stratheden Q.iberaD,
moved that the government produce the
latest papers regarding events in Bulgaria.
He suggested that Great Britain initiate n
conference to consider the Bulgarian ques-
tion, and said that Bismarck would readily
support such a movement.
Lord Salisbury promised TO place the
papers on the table. He did not think tho
proposed conference would bo desirable.
The Berlin treaty had already settled that
the election Of Prince Of Bulgaria must bo
unanimous. Tho powers believed that an
interchange Of opinion through the ordinary
diplomatic channels would overcome exist
ing differences.

THAT CITY THE UNANIMOUS
CHOICE OF THE COMMITTEE.

Mr.. Walsh, of Georgia, Makes the
First Break to st. Louis and is Fol-

Vote on the Date Reconsidered and
June 8 Selected.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 23-The National
democratic Committee met again in secret
session this morning at 10 o'clock. At the
oneniug of the session Mr.. Scott, of Penn
svlyania, moved that the current business
of baloting for the selection of a city IN
which the next Democrotic National Con-
yention shall be held be suspanded so that
motion might be made to reconsider the
vote by which July Sd was decided upon as
thedate for holding the convention. Points
of order were made by several members,
when Senator MCPHERSON took the floor and
delivered a short but earnest address, in
which he urged that there should
he no insiStance on technicalitieS
and that the only consideration should be
the good Of the party, and reminding the
committee that whatever the attractiveneSs
of the Pacific slope might be, Presidential
elections hitherto had been determined bv
the votes of New York, New Jersey and
Connecticut; that on account of the pro-
posed reduction of taxation there would be
need of more work than ever before in
showing the people that it was for their in
terest that it should take the form proposed.
After other remarks a vote was taken upon
Mr.. Scott's motion with the following
result: Twenty-four for and d against.
The motion was declared lost. The ballot
ing was then resumed for the place for
holding the convention. The first ballot

NINTH DISTRICT.

L. M. Sherman, of Sturgeon
Bay, was in the city to-day. He
was secretary of the Republican
county committee of Door county
in 1886. In conversation with a
Wisconsin reporter he gave some
interesting facts about Ninth Dis
trict politics.
"It is safe to say that there will
be bitter fight for the Republi-
can nomination for Congress this
fall" he said. Senator Scofeld,
of Oconto, is already in the field,
and he means business. E. L.
Browne, of Waupaca, is also after
the nomination. Other candidates
mentinned are w. H. Upham,
of Marshfeld, and Sam Fifeld, of
Ashland. Congressman Stephen
son, of Marinette, wants a renom-
ination. He will find more opposi-
ton next fall then he did two years
ago, when the whole business was
settled at the convention to send
delegates to Madison for electing
delegates to Chicago. 1t might
be settled there this year, if they
want to do so. 1t is difficult to
estimate the strength of the candi-
dates. Fiheld would be strong if
Upham were not in the field.
Upham is the strongest man on
the west side of the district"

The First Sprinkler.

1t transpires that the first person who
sprinkled roads in this pinery was
Francis Biron, an old time heavy lum-
Der manufacturer of Grand Rapids.
Thirty years ago, during the winters of
1S57-'5S or close on to that time, there
was a scarcity of snow and Mr.. Biron
conceived the idea Of sprinkling the
roads, and was therefore enabled to get
in full winters work doing fully as
well as if there had been plenty of
snow. He used two large barrels,
placed on either side of a sleigh, in
which were bored holes to allow the
water to run where most needed. Mr..
Biron afterwards got out patent on q
combined heater and water-tank but
which was never extensively used,
although, nowadays, no successful
logger thinks of beginning winters
work in the woods without a good
sprinkler.-[Pil & Review.

On Monday last quite an excitement
prevailed for time, owing to a runa
way logging train, which came crashing
along at high rate of speed, having
uncoupled from the engine mile or so
north Of the town. No body seemed to
realize the cause or danger until too
late to avert wreck. The result was
that it ran of the end of the main track
and went banging and crashing into the
east end of the saw mill. Fortunately
no person was injured. The loss to the
company was considerable demolishing
two cars and staying in the end of the
mill. The two cars have been rebuilt
at the Vesper Car Shops and are now
ready for business.

against the shaving-spout at Whrheim's
factory and was knocked off. 1t ap-
pears that he had got on top of the train
to put on brakes, and was running over
a refrigerator car which is couple of
feet higher than the ordinary cars, when
his head struck against the shaving
spout which crosses the track. He fell
off the side of the car and beyond few
bruises was not hurt much, although
the trainmen insisted on his remaining
here over night, The next evening he
departed for his home in Centralia.
This spout should be raised higher as it
was only miracle that the man escaped
with his life.-[Wausau Pilot & Review.

GRAND PAPER CARNIVAL.
One of the Most Unique and Novel
Entertainments ever given in
Grand Rapids.
The Ladies I'm ress-beautifuI

The above entertainment took place
Wednesday evening February 22nd-
| Washington's birthday-at Opera Hall
given under the auspices of the Ladies
Aid Society of the NJ E. Church. The
hall was crowded with anxious specta-
tors to see the grand review of ladies
in full paper dress representing historic
characters. AZ half-past eight o'clock
the orchestra, consisting of seven pieces
struck up the Boccasia march led by
Prof. Zenier. The grand march was
headed by Mrs. Jennie Ferguson and
Mrs. A. L. Fontaine as Britannia and
Columbia, followed by twenty-four no.
ted characters. The review was so
pleasing to the audience that they re-
peated the march. In the procession it
was plain to be seen, that the ladies had
never been on dress parade very much
and were not up to military tactics.
However they did nicely and were
lovely to look u on, some costumes
being specially fine. After the parade
general handshaking aid social good
time was enjoyed during which time
coffee, cake, &C., was served at the usual
consideration, and fancy paper articles
were sold. The orchestra then furnished
another instrumental piece, followed by
Miss Belle Mosher, with a song entitled
"a child of the Regiment" which was
ably rendered and heartily encored.
The following is a list of the characters
represented and by whom:
Columbia.-Mrs. A L. Fontaine

and Cross.-MTs. S. Smith

We called to see Mr.. R. A. Wegelin,
a travelling man at the Central House,
who received injuries in the wreck on
the G. M. & St. Paul railroad in Centra-
liza, last Friday. We found him still in
considerable pain and confined to his
bed. His right knee cap is badly swol-
len and pains him geat deal, He re-
ceived severe blows over both eyes and
side of his face. He is an agreeable gen.
tleman and makes the best of his
condition. He said the adjusting agent
for the st. Paul railroad called on him
and offered 500 and expenses to date.
He refused the liberal offer and stated
he was not broke yet.
