The Columbia DAILY Calendar.

An old friend in new dress, and an
article that has come to be one Of the in
dispensables Of an.editor's desk, comes to
hand in the Columbia Daily Calendar for
1892. The calendar is in the form of a
pad containing 1857 leaves, each 5Ax2s
inches; one for each day in the year, to be
removed daily, and one for the entire
year. The day of the week, of the month,
and Of the year are given, and each slip
bears short paragraph pertaining TO cy-
cling or some kindred subject. At the
bottom of each leaf is blank for memo
randa, each leaf being accessible at any
time. The stand is an entirely new de.
parture, being made Of sheet metal fin
ished in ivory black, and il very CON-
pact. At the close Of the year the stand
will be available for another pad. This
IL the seventh issue of this now we'll
known calendar, yet all tho matter Ii
fresh and new, having been col
lated from leading publications and
prominent writer's, most Of it being spe.
cially written for this purpose. It com
prises notable events in cycling, opinions
OF physicians and clergymen, hints abou
road making and numerous other topics

HON. s. r. MALLORY.

The Gainesville Sun speaks OF
Congressman Mallory IN the follow
ing complimentary language:
Hon. 8. r. Mallory, member Of
congress from the First District of
Florida, although this is his first
term, We predict long previous TO the
adjournment Of the session viii Justly
be regarded as one of the leading
members of the house. Mr.. Mallory
il q gentleman Of far more than or
binary sagacity, q fact which win be
readily perceived by the recognized
leaders of the house. He il . fine
scholar, a powerful debater, man
of broad and liberal views, and pos
sesses fund of information upon all
questions likely to come before con
gress for discussion. The district
which Mr.. Mallory represents covers
3 large area Of territory and its in. |
forests are varied, but we believe he
will accomplish as much as any man
could in promoting the welfare of
his constituents.

THE sENATORsHIP.

The United States Senate Tuesday
by unanimous vote, decided that
Ar. Call had prima facie case and
III was therefore sworn in and took
hik seat. Mr.. Davidson's credentials
we're referred to the committee on
priyileges and elections with instruc'

CHEAPER POSTAL RATES.

In commenting upon the report OF
Postmaster General Wanamaker, the
Mobile Register says that one-cent
letter postage, three-cent telephone
messages, and ten-cent telegraph
messages are all near possibilities
under an enlightened and compact
postal system, using the newest
telegraphic inventions.
The advantage of tying the rural
postofice by a telephone wire re-
quiring no operator to the railroad
station must be obvious. The bene-
fits arising from telephone connec-
tions with the postofices will easily
suggest themselves in a hundred
ways to those who want the entire
people to share the common privi-
eyes. The rural population would
be the greatest gamer. A telephone
message from the postofice to the
railroad station miles away to ascer-
tain if expected freight had come
would save the farmer many need.
less wagon trip over bad roads;
news of approaching frosts could be
promptly spread over country dis
tricts and fruit growing regions, and
many a valuable crop saved.
Notwithstanding that all these i'm.
proved postal facilities are recon-
mended by Mr.. Wanamaker, they will
not be very likely to come into
general usefor some years yet,
though they will come in time.
The people demand cheaper post
age and better mail facilities for the
rural districts and they wont be
satisfied until they get what they
want.

THE SITUATION In CHILL.
Tho Acute Phase Passed and No Serious
Trouble Anticipated.

Ihc Acute Phase Passed and No Serious
Trouble Anticipated.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 29.-[Speciall l.
Apparently the situation in Chilli con-
tinues to engross tho attention of the
President and Department of State.
Acting Secretary Wharton called at the
White House soon after breakfast this
morning and remained with the Presi-
dent until the Cabinet met, about IL
o'clock. Returning to the Department
OF State, he found cablegram from
Minister Egan in response to one sent
to him yesterday asking for further in
formation as to the situation in Santi-
ago. This dispatch was in cipher, and
after it had been translated Wharton
and John w. Foster discussed its con-
tents, which, however, thoy did not
feel at liberty to mako public.
1t is known that the acute phase of
the situation has been passed and that
no serious trouble is anticipated. Min
lister Egan has maintained the dignity
OF his legation, and the refugees remain
under protection, but it is believed that
this has been achieved through tho
action of the Junta in yielding under
protest to the pressure brought to bear
by this Government, while insisting
upon Its right to arrest political refu-
gees,if not actually within the precinc is
OF the legation at least in its shadow.
The contention revives an old and
vexed question of international law,
which itself is by no means an exact
science, and the President, with his ad-
visers, is now coming precedents in
our diplomatic history, has resolved that
Minister Egan shall be supported in
every legitimate manner, yet DESTROYS
of making no demand that cannot be
justly maintained.

the speech are in eulogy of Governor
Russell and his administration.
President Collins address had tell
ing effect upon his hearers, and he was
continually interrupted by applause
and laughter, and at the close q Bedlam
was again let loose.
Hon. John Z. Russell, OF Leicester,
mounted the platform and renominated
William e. Russell for governor.
In the course of his speech he said:
Contempt of civil service reform,
manifested in every department of the
administration; selfish greed of tho
protectionists, not only in tho law, but
in the forced construction of it.; injury
that is being worked to the interests OF
Massachusetts,; continued scandals in
the pension department; tho cheapen-
ing and imitation of the currency by the
issue of "a 100000 to $1,000, 600 a month
In Treasury notes based upon silver,
which is rapidly carrying the currency
to silver basis, are sufficient reasons
why thinking men, independent in
politics, should remain with us this
year and cast thoir votes for our candi-
dates.
Our platform will not be protests
against tho early records and original
creed of the Republican party, but
name, that is now controlled by Quay,
Plat and similar spirits and whose
leadership will be given or taken at the
next convention by James G. Blaine"
Russells speech was applauded most
emphatically all the way through. The
nomination was seconded by Edward G.
Donovan, OF Boston, and William Eustes
Russell, of Cam bridge, was unanimously
declared the nominee by acclamation
The committee on resolutions then
reported the platform. The various
planks were warmly applauded, especi-
ally those relative to free schools and
honest money, while the denunications
OF the Mckinley bill were followed by
derisive laughter. The platform was
adopted without a murmur of opposi-
ton.
Governor Russell entered the hall
few minutes. before l o'clock If the
uproar which greeted him could not be
hoard all over the State, it was not the
fault of the delegates. When silence
was finally restored, tho Governor ad-
dressed the convention. He followed
substantially the same line of argument
used by the previous speakers, and re-
iterated the principles and denuncia-
tons of the platform.
John w. Corcoran, of Clinton, was
unanimously nominated for lieutenant
governor. The committee on the bal
ancc of the ticket reported as follows:
Secretary of State, Elbridge Cushman,
of Lakeville; treasurer and receiver,
General James S. Grinnoll; auditor, d.
w. Treffrey, Marblehead, attorney gen
eral, George M. Stearns, Chickopee.
The report was unanimously adopted.
After the usual votes of til anks, the con-
VentlOn at 2:O5 p. No., adjourned.

THE POPE CELEBRATES MASS
In the Presence of Sixty Thou.
sand People.
AN Imposing Religious Ceremony at s,-
feters' tho Largest Cathedral In tho
World-Attended by Thousands of
Devout Pilgrims From Many Coun-
tries.

ROME, Sept. 2s.-lSpeciall-A grand
and imposing religious ceremony took
place this morning in st. Peters
Church. For some days past His Holt :
ness the Pope, has been receiving bod
les of religious pilgrims from various
countries. The city is filled with the
devout, many of whom have travelled
long distances to pay honor to the
earthly head of ths Catholic Church.
When il was announced that the
Pope in person would celebrate low
mass this morning, great eagerness was
manifested by throngs of pilgrims to
attend the services. Long before tho
doors of the church opened, an immense
crowd gathered in tho magnificent
atrium on the piazza in front of the
structure, awaiting an opportunity to
enter.
Detachments Of troops from the
Italian army were sta toned about tho
piazza for the purpose of maintaining
order, as it was feared that in the push
ing struggling throng some would meet
with accidents. Fortunately, however.
nobody is reported to have been hurt.
When tho doors wore opened tho
pilgrims, who came from various parts
of Italy and from many foreign coun-
tries, entered the church and all signs
of impatience vanishing as they entered
the sacred portals.
Sixty thousand persons were in the
church, the congregation which filled
the largest Cathedral in the world at
$40 o'clock. Amid tho hushed silence of
the multitude, the reverent bending of
knees, the Pope, seated upon sedia
gestatoria and borne upon tho shoulders
of the members of the papal guard,
entered the church and was carried to
his throne at the pontiiical altar
lis Holiness was attired in pura
white vestments and wore upon his
head the papal tiara. lIo carried in
either hand fans which rcsembled
beautiful palm leaves. These fans IRE
never used at ordinary services ut st.
Peters, but arc reserved for use at
great ceremonies only.
AS the head of the procession entered
the church the trumpcters of the Swiss
Guard placed the silver instruments to
their lips and peals of martial music
heralded the approach of the Pope.
The entire ceremony was marked
with all the pomp which tho Catholic
Churcn aionc Is capable of exhibiting.
AS the Pope was borno along above the
heads OF the assembled thousands, he
raised his hands and bestowed his bon
edictions right and left until he reached
tho altar
The progress OF tho PROCESSION was
attended with rapturous ac.laimings.
and the greatest enthusiasm prevailed,
men waving their hats and women
their hankerchiefs.
