PRELIMINARIEs.
After the convention came to order just
before II O'Clock, Collins of Massachu-
sets was chosen Chairman. After some
preliminaries it was resolved to go into
the nomination of President. Alabama
by her alphabetical priority had the right
to make the first nomination. She gave
that right to New York, and Daniel
Dougherty Of that State proceeded to
NOMINATE GROVER CLEVELAND.
His first words were, 81 rise to name
the next President of the United States. -
And from that moment the cheers and ex-
element were wild. flats, banners and
handkerchiefs filled the air. His speech
of eleven minutes could hardly be heard
for the uproar. 1t closed with 81 give
YOU name entwined with victory"
Delegates rushed on the stage, grouping
all the State banners, and bust of Cleve-
land was covered with laurels. A woman's
red hat which had fallen from the gallery
was kept bouncing about over the heads of
the shouting multitude. It was nearly
twenty minutes before the delegates re-
turned to their seats. In the galleries the
SPECTATORS tore off the decorations and
waved them frautically. A big red ban
lands bust, and the scene OF cheering was
renewed.

The Blair and Logan Pension Bills Pass
After Some Discussion.

WASHINGTON, March 3O.-In the House
to-day the Senate amendments to the
House bill authorizing the President to ar
range a conference for the purpose OF en-
couraging reciprocal commercial relations
between the United States and the Repub-
lies OF Mexico, Central and South america
and the Empire of Brazil we're non-concur-
red in. A joint resolution appropriating
$4,000 to enable the United States to
participate in the international exhibition
to be held at Barcelona, Spain, in April,
1888, was adopted.
The House bill granting pensions of
So 600 per annum to Mary s. Logan and
TIE Senate bill increasing the pension of
Appolonia Blair to $4,000 were taken up.
A long debate took place between Cameron,
Mason, Springer and Henderson, of Illinois,
Warner. Dockery, of Missouri, and
Cockrane. OF New York, who advocated the
bills and Tarsney, OF Michigan, Taulbee, OF
kentucky, Walker, of Missouri, Wilson, OF
Minnesota, and Watson, OF Indiana, who
opposed the bills. The advocates of the
bills claimed that the services Of
snch men as Logan aud Blair could
not be measured by dollars and cents
| aad that a failure TO pass the bills would
discourage the display OF patrlot1c devo-
tion in the future. The opponents OF the
bills said it was an attempt to establish
class legislation, and they could see no rea-
son why preference should De given in these
cases over the widows Of other gallant SOL
diers, such as Candy, Meade and Phil
Kearney. The Logan bill was passed by a
vote of 154 to 95, and the Blair bin passed
by a vote OF las to 81. The evening ses-
sion OF the House will be devoted to con-
sideration of private pension bills.
The House at the evening session passed
twenty-four pension bills and adjourned
until tomorrow.

A Watch In q Ring.

A seal ring with watch set in room OF
the seal is the latest thing out in iewelry.
The timekeeper is marvel OF .delicate
workmanship, and really a triumph OF the
iewelrer's art. It is trifle larger than the
ordinary cameo or signet for ladies' wear,
but not large enough to be clumsy or to
look out Of place on delicate hand. The
first watch of this description worn in
America is credited to Miss Anna Scoville,
a granddaughter of Henry Ward Beecher,
TO whom it was lately sent from Paris, and
it is said to be reliable guide OF the hours.
A niece of Secretary Bayard has watch
daintily set as brooch, and watches on
the flap OF the big pocket books now used
by women are not uncommon. Fanny
Davenport has one OF this description
which is thickly set with emeralds and rn-
hies. making, probably. the costiest pock-
etbook in existence. Watches set in the
sticks OF umbrellas and parasols are an
Engli.h fad, and perhaps half dozen OF
them have been seen here.

THE Standard Oil monopoly is men
aced by a recent discovery said to have
been made by gentleman named Green
hill Of Marietta, Ohio, who has been for
years experimenting with the subject Of
refining oils, and is said to have hit upon
combination that produces as perfect
results as those attained by the great
monopoly mentioned. The wells of
Wood County, Ohio, are reported to equal
in size those Of Russia, and the supply of
oil. outside of those controlled by the
Standard Company is inexhaustible. 1t
is said that by this process an article can
be produced for Is cents a barrel with
Ohio oil that is equal to the Pennsyl-
vania article at 81 barrel. A company
with strong financial resources is being
formed to work the Greenhill process,
with refneries are all over the Ohio oil
fields. and should it prove as reported
the great monopoly's days are num-
bered.

rERR1roRraL INSTITUTIONS.

The report Of the Inspector of the Ter
Titorial Penitentiary and Insane Asylum,
DIR. w. L. Steele, shows most satisfac-
tory condition Of the management Of
these institutions. The present number
of prisoners at the Penitentiary is 142 of
whom ten are United States prisoners.
The best evidence of the excellent sani-
tary care taken Of the prisoners is the
fact that there is no sickness in the
prison at present and has been none
since the first of January save a few
cases of erysipelas. The Inspector pro
nounces the management SO perfect ard
the food and care Of the prisoners SO un-
Objectionable that he can suggest no inn
prOyement. OF the Insane Asylum, as
was to be expected, he has nothing but
words OF unattoyed praise. Here there
are 144 patients, thirty Of whom
are convalescent. This is a large
number for sparsely settled Ter
ritory like Montana, and the cost
of maintaining so many is burden
that should be mitigated il possible. The
Inspector points out that among the in
mates supported at the expense Of the
Territory are some who are owners Of
property, and be very properly suggests
that 'isome legislation should be enacted
which would secure to the Territory re-
muneration from those patients who
have ample resources from which to make
such remuneration" The recommends
tion should be acted upon at the earliest
occasion. The provision for the care
Of its insane made by Mon
tana is the most liberal of any in the
Union, and while there is no desire to
abate one jot Of the humanity exhibited
unfortunates, there is no reason why
those who are able to pay for their treat
ment at Warm Springs should be a
charge on the Territory as seems to be
the case.

Extending Their Lines.

New YORK, March 3O.-Considerable ex.
citement has been created in railroad and
express circles since it became known that
the United States Express Company had
closed a contract with the Central railroad
Of New Jersey for fiye-years lease OF all
their lines. This new acquisition taken in
connection with the Lackawanna and Bal.
timore & Ohio roads will enable the United
States Company to cover valuable express
territory which has heretofore been mo.
nopolized or controlled by the Adams Com.
pany. On May the United States Com.
pany will control $4,000 miles OF roads
and will be able to forward business for the
West as far as San Francisco and the Pa

The Childlike and Bland Way of u CeIes
tial With Collector Magons.

New York dispatch: Sun XII Fou, Mrs
Sun XII Fou, Sun Ki Fou, Jr., and the four
Misses Sun XII Fou ere the members OF q
wealthy and aristocratic Chinese family
that arrived at this port day or two ago
on the steamship Caracas. They are travel.
ing over the world for pleasure. They got
through Europe all right, but struck a
snag when they reached the United States.
Under the Chinese prohibitory law the Col
lector refused them permission to leave the
vessel. After good deal of parleying and
delay, during which the Collector was
adamant, Sun Ki Fou conceived the idea
OF sending his four daughters to make
personal appeal to the stcny-hearted
official. The girls are said to be remarks ably
pretty, and the result was that the Collector
signed permits for the whole party to 70
through the country en- route to San Fran
cisco On their way home.

NOT LONG TO LIVE.

Cable dispatches assert that the official
bulletins about Emperor Frederick are
misleading and conceal the truth in re-
gard to his disease. The bulletins an
nounce improvements in his condition,
and that his health is being regained;
whereas recent cable quotes the best
expert opinion in Europe as limiting his
lease on life to few weeks at furthest.
OF course, everything that medical skill
can do to conceal the rayages of the dis
ease is being done. 1t permits him to
remain on his feet, to appear at the pal
ace windows in full dress and to attend
church, to give audience to Ministers
and to discharge official business. The
bravery with which he bears up under
the knowledge of his condition must
excite general admiration. But the fact
that the Crown Prince has. been dele
gated authority to act on the same terms
as during the last days of Emperor Will
lam isi!self a convincing argument that
the Emperor may break down at
any time. A strong party in
the Russian Court is said to be
exerting every effort to have
the regency declared Immediately, SO
that the influence of the Empress Vic
toria on affairs may be extinguished at
once. The hostility to her in this circle
grows stronger instead Of subsiding as
would reasonably be supposed in view Of
the trial she has to endure of seeing her
husband dying by inches before her eyes.
1t is said that a counter demonstration
to this Court hostile faction, which isnot
sympathized with universally, it seems,
has been started by the women OF Ger

Victoria have gotten up an address to her

q big rosy, 20-year-old blonde, who finds

vancing years. The gray hair puller is gen.

why Man Was Stabbed Because His Dog
Was Kicked.

Last night there occurred a fracas on
Main street near Park, which resulted in
the -erious wounding of one Mason, whose
initial name is unknown. From the best
information it appears that Mason was the
possessor of dog OF high degree, and that
during a conversation on the sidewalk be-
tween the owner of the dog and another
gentleman, high words ensued, the result
being that the innocent animal was abused.
The talk which was of brief duration, culmi-
mated in a row in which Mr.. Mason was
twice stabbed in the neck.with knife. Both
parties were Immediately arrested and
taken to jail. where the assailant was re-
leased on bonds and the victim held as a
prosecuting witness.

Others might say that they could be much
improved by putting broken stones down
in certain places. These are the sort OF
people who expect to have their streets
paved with gold and p1 ecious stones. They
here are too valuable to waste in repairing
thoroughfares. Back East, in the good
old times, the citizens of a certain city
complained of their streets being bad; the
City Fathers met in solemn conclave to
consider the matter. Among other sug-
gestions one was made that the streets
should be paved with blocks OF wood.
Thereupon a member rose, and gravely
remarked that the Council had only to lay
their heads together and the thing would
be done! The question here, however,
might be raised "Are they hard enough?"
Now the advantages OF having the streets
in their present sticky condition is appar-
ent to any observant man. Water here is
pretty scarce, and when any comes it is
natural that we should desire to keep it in
our midst as long as possible. Ii we could
only keep enough OF it we could enjoy
boating excursions, and boats might be
used instead OF wagons for hauling pur-
poses. In such a case Main street, being
rather steep, would require series Of
docks, and these would render progress
up it almost as slow as now with ordinary
horses and carts. Besides, there would be
the expense of establishing pumping sta
tion down below somewhere to keep the
highest dock full of water.
Another advantage is the health of the
inhabitants. The air here is dry and rare.
Western people are apt to be in violent
hurry, and If they exert themselves with
too rapid motion their lungs are in danger
OF being injured. By having the streets halt
loot deep in mud and water, these too
quick people haye to learn to learn to 60
slow There are various ways of learning.
Another feature OF the beauties OF this
city are the sidewalks. Owners are afraid
to have decent sidewalks alongside their
property because they tend to improve it's
value. They are modest people and don't
wish TO degenerate into bloated millionaires.
When they do have sidewalk put UP, it is
apt to be so high above the street level
that series OF ladders are necessary to en-
able one to get from the street below on to
it. 1t might be we'll to suggest that ratings
be erected on the edge of such sidewalks.
BY so doing, no weary wanderer, tired of
wading through mud, would be tempted to
end his existence by committing suicide
from it's dizzy heights.
In certain places there are planks laid
down as street crossings. These are a,
snare and deception. The venturesome
pedestrian who Strives about the middle of
the street will find two or three parties
holding highly interesting conversation,
which must be completed before he can con.
tinue across the narrow crossing. If he
gets tired OF waiting he can get off the cross
ing and step boldly into the mud. He may
SINK IN up to his neck, but no matter!
