yet been made for Lieut.. Avis, Fifth In

PHELPS FOR SECOND PLACE.
New Jersey Delegates Wild Over william

New Jersey Delegates Wild Over William
walters Candidacy.
WASHINGTON, D. c., June 1S.-There
ia immense enthusiasm among New Jer
sey Republicans for the candidacy OF
Representative William Walter Phelps,
Of their State, for the Vice-Prcsidency.
They claim that a ticket OF Sherman and
Phelps, Harrison and Phelps would be
imprecnable in their State. Phelps
knows every ward and precinct in the
State OF New Jersey and is one OF the
shrewdest political workers in that State
OF short.haired wire-pullers. In add.
ton he is a man Of veiY large means, OF
culture and refinement. His election,
they say, would do much to remove the
complication now existing in New Jer'
sey affairs and pave the way for ex-Sena'
tor Seweii's return to the United States
Senate.
The other presumably doubtful state
OF New York still insists that il New
York man be not chosen for first place
the State must be represented by the
candidate for vice presidency. Levi p.
Morton's name will be presented and
will receive, 1t is said, the support OF the
New York delegation. His recommcn.
dations are experience in Congress and

Santa Fe passenger train had IN un-
usual experience few miles from
Dorsey's Station, Monday night. The
train suddenly stopped and eight mask
ed men boarded the platform on the
baggage car. Two of the robbers crawl

engineer to stop the train. The engin-
eer complied, but during the parley the
fireman jumped from the cab and made
his way back to the station, informing
the second section OF the train, on

The Great American Statesman Enjoying
His Tour with CArneGei.
LINCOLN, SCOTLAND, June l3.-Beforo
leaving Gnntham yesterday Mr.. Blaine,
with Mr.. Carnegie and his party, visited
the old Saxon Church st. Wolfrau, and
made hurried inspection OF the high
school where Sir Isaac Newton studied
and in the yard OF which he is supposed
to have seen fall the apple about which,
in the words OF Mark Twain, "hc subse-
qucntly made such fuss"
The party then set out for Belvolr
Castle, the seat OF the Duke of Rutland,
where, after the quaint Anglo.Saxon
tapestries had been admired, the Amer
lean visitors were entertained Mt lunch.
The drive was then continued across
beautiful, undUlating country through
Newark to Lincoln, where, as the party
arrived early, there was still enough
daylight left to view the superb cathe.
dral which from distance recalls that oil
AmiGns. Nearer investigations reveals
it as being far larger and more hand
some, though less interesting.
The town appeared to be strangely
excited last night, three remarkable
things having happened during the day.
In the first place it rained, which, ac-
cording to the Oldest inhabitants who
have been interviewed, is a strange
thing Mt this time ofthe year. Second, Mr..
Carnegie's party passed throug h Lincoln
instead of going around it and avoiding
| it like everybody else. Thirdly, and
strangest OF all, Mr.. Kerans, the member
for the borough, who has represented it
for many years in Parliament without
ever opening his mouth, was moved to
deliver speech OF about three minutes
duration on the compensation clauses OF
the Local Government bill.
The coaching party stopped at the
Saracen's Head, which is only less an
cient an inn than the Angel at Grant
ham. Mr.. Blaine is in splendid health,
never looks ut newspapers, and rarely
reads the letters which are forwarded to
him, When shown q cablegram in u
London paper containing an extract OF
the Irish Worlds demand for hisnomina-
ton, he expressed no interest about the
matter. To.day's run was to Doncaster,
about forty miles. The party will attend
service on Sunday at.Durham Cathedral.

CHICAGO, June 1S.-Dispatches from
several points in Illinois and Iowa say
that the locusts which are making their
appearance in such great numbers are
not molesting fruit, grain or vegetables
as yet. The only damage done is the
killing Of young and tender trees, many
OF which die from the incisions made by
the insects in depositing their eggs. The
Secretary OF the Iowa State Agricultural
Society says he has received Information
from Muscatine that there are millions
Of locusts in that county, but no especial
damage has yet been reported.
