SUPERIoR, WIS, June l6-The flood at
Cloquet is receding quite rapidly, and the
situation is rather brighter for those who
have thus far been able to save their prop
erty. Several million feet of the run away
logs from Cloquet entered the Bay of Su-
perior, but are being picked up and made
into RATS. Several hundred people have
been rendered temporarily homeless at
Cloquet and Fond du Lac by the food, but
it is expected that their condition can be
bettered soon. The loss to the lumber
company is estimated at from $l00 900 to
100000, and the total loss to Cloquet at
$500 600

Prominent Republicans En- Route to
Chicago.

PIrrsBURe, June l6.-The western trains
were crowded yesterday with distinguished
Republicans en- route to Chicago. Among
the most prominent at the Union Depot
were Senators Hoar, of Massachusetts,; Hale
of Maine; Hiscock, OF New York; Aldrich,
of Rhode Island; and Stewart, of Nevada;
Congressman Paysen, of Illinois; Steele, of
Indiana; and Hayden. of Massachusetts;
General Cogswell, delegate-atlarge from
the same State, and Chairman Cooper, of
Pennsylvania.
There was disposition among the east
ern men to maintain strict silence regard
ing the expression of an opinion on their
choice. Senator Hale said his people had
no choice. Senator Hiscock said he would
name no one at present, and Hoar, when
asked if he would accept the permanent
chairmanship of the convention, il rendered
him, would neither say "yes' or mo-
General Cogswell and Congressman Hay
den said they had no preference.

only real strong candidates were Sherman
and Gresham. A number of Others were to
be used as foot stools until the proper time
came to vote for some leading candidate.

CHICAGO, June 16-The grand Audi
torium Building on Michigan avenue, in
which the National Republican Convention
is to be held, is now practically ready for
the occupation of the delegates, and the
chairs are already being placed in the body
of the building. The acoustic properties Of
the hall are pronounced to be excellent,
and il is confidently predicted that there
will be no difficulty whatever experienced
by any of the speakers in making them
selves plainly heard throughout the entire
interior of the building. The pit of the
auditorium, occupying space of so by 80
feet will be given over to the delegates.
This section will contain S32 chairs. On
all sides of this space the galleries for the
spectators rise, and these are so arranged
that any one sitting in the farthest corner
of any Of them will not be more thau 100
feet from the delegates. The entire hall
will seat $500 persons. The accommoda-
tions provided for the occupants of the
galleries are conceded to be far superior TO
those of the St. Louis convention, as the
peculiar construction of the st. Louis
Exposition Building prevented those
seated in the galleries from obtaining
view of the main platform. The interior
will be illuminated by several thousand
incandescent Edison lights, and the tests
already made go to prove that the scene
will be one of dazzling brilliancy. One of
the most conspicuous and beautiful de-
signs introduced in the electric lighting
devices consists of an immense shield
representing the National Coat-Of-Arms,
composed of 500 red white and blue in
candescent bulbs, which is placed in
the center of the proscenium arch. The
entire building both inside and out is
most profusely decorated with the
National colors and symbols, and the
whole exerior of the building will be
nearly as brilliantly illuminated as the
main hall. Just back of the delegates seats
are those of the alternates on a slightly
lower platform, and back of those are the
spectators seats. The presideng officers
desk and chair will be on dias, just in the
center of the platform assigned to the re-
porters, the location being nearly in the
center of the building Just behind the
position which will be occupied by the
President, is another platform for the ac-
commodation of the National Republican
Committee and the distinguished guests.
Two seats on this platform are reserved
for the Prince and Princess Roland
Bonaparte, who will be prominent among
the throng OF interested visitors. The main
entrance to the building is on Congress

desire to win a name upon the stage is certain
also to have heart big enough to care for
people who are legitimately dependent upon
her. We hear of the tremendous fortunes
made by Mrs. Langtry, but we don't hear
very much about the girls to whom Mrs.

they are behind her; when she walks in her

An Unhacpy Princess.

The nervous system of the Princess OF
Wales has been So worn and tried by recent
events that not only her favorite bromide
has ceased to have any effect, but maid is
forced to sleep in room adjoining that oc-
cupied by her royal highness. Like all highly
sensitive and very deaf people, she often i'm
AGNES extraordinary noises, and this pecu-
liarity, which for years has been bore at
Sandringham, has now, doubtless owing to
the sleepless nights passed by the bedside of
the royal measly ones, become an absolute
torment to her surroundings. Her royal
highness' great terror is of fire, and the late
catastrophe at Exeter following that of the
Opera Comique in Paris, so upset her that
she vowed she would never enter theatre
again. Her constant terror is that Prince
George, her pet, will be burned to death at
sea, and that wicked youth has on more than
one occasion taken advantage of his mothers
nervousness in this particular to spin yarns
which would make the best seasoned salt pale
with envy.-London Society.
