A GENEROUS GIFT.
Mr. Thos. G. Hodgkins Gives 500, 900 to the
Smithsonian Institution.

Mr. Thos. G. Hodgkin. Gives 500, 700 to the
Smithsonian Institution.
special meeting of the board of regents of
the Smithsonian Institution was held today TO

save that its income is to be used like that of
the original bequest of James Smithson for
the increase and diffusion OF knowledge
among men," The income of the other half is
to be applied to the increase and diffusion of
more exact knowledge in regard to the proper
ties Of atmospheric air and its relation to the
physical and intellectual welfare of mankind.
the same to be effected by the offering of pre-
miums for discoveries and essays, for which
competition is to be open to all the world, or
by such other means as may hereafter appear
to the regents of the Smithsonian Institution
as calculated to produce the most benefcent
results.
Mr.. Hodgkins, who, like Smithson, was born
In England, came to this country about 1880
and was q successful merchant in New York.
Since his retirement in 1859 he has been living
a retired and scholarly life on his farm on Long
Island Ii is understood that il is his attention
to make still further gifts TO the institution. Ii
Is believed that the generous act of Mr.. Hodg-
klns will call attention to the fact that the
Smithsonian Institution, of which the Presi-
dent of the United States is ex-officio presiding
officer and the chief justice is the chancellor.
Is by its peculiar organization especially well
suited for the increase and diffusion of knowl-
edge, not only of a scientific nature, but in
other held OF intellectual activity.

REPUBLICAN PROSPECTS BRIGHT.
What MT. C. n. Bliss Thinks Of the situA
tion In New York.

A handsome and very Observation-Disclosures
gentleman of athletic build, with gray hair and
. little line Of gray whiskers running down the
sides Of his amiable. round face, and eyes that
shone with intellectual fire, registered the IA
miiiar name OF c. n. Bliss at the Arlington this
morning. He has but recently returned from
Europe, but is, nevertheless, familiar with the
situation in the New York gubernatoriaI con-
test In reply to inquiries by STAR reporter
he taid:
1T has been but ten DAYS since returned
from abroad, but take an interest in the New
York campaign and find ,ha, the prospects
are very bright for the republicans The nom-
ination OF Mr.. Fassett was good one. The
party is united and Mr.. Fassett is making m
active and brilliant campaign. He is Young,
capable and popular, and our folks are very
confident of his election. The party is in ex-
cellent condition. New York is a close state
and the change Of comparatively few votes ID
soihcient to change the result. 1 make no pre-
eicuons, put certainly everything looks prom
ising for Mr.. Fsssett
The indications are that there will be a very
heavy republican vote in the state and Mr..
Flower must have very large majority in tie
city 10 overcome It. On the other hand be
ileve Iammany will lose many votes IN the
city. Ihe question is, shall Tammany control
New York politics, and do not think the peo-
pie VIII consent that Tammany shall rule.
THE WORLDS FAIR CRY
"Ihe democrats are talking of nothing but
Platt and the worlds fair. When Mr.. Flower
is asked for an expression on state issues. for
his views on money or on the tariff. he cries
worlds fair. To all questions he has but
one reply. Worlds fair His speeches are
but repetition OF the one refrain: World,
fair, Worlds fair
Il do not think they can make anything ou,
OF that. was interested in having the fair &c
to New York. i worked for il in New York and
IN Washington, and believe am familiar with
the situation. do not think there ever was
any chance for New York. I found before
mad been long in Washington that the
southern and western Congressman we're in IA
vor OF sending the fair west and it was impos-
sioie TO overcome that disposition. There Was
put ole time when 1 though. something might
De accomplished for New York. That was when
the committee OF prominent democrats and re-
pubEcans OF New York were here and held a
reception, with witty speeches and champagne.
lhings looked bright for q moment but there
was nothing lasting.
Again, the cause was injured by the PROPOSE
ton to hold the fair in Central Park. This
proposition at once promoted antagonism in
New York city The very people whom Mr..
Flower Is telling about their lost opportunities
themselves antagonized the proposition 10
have 1t in Central Park and lost interest IN the
fair. The working people Of New York did not
want to be shut out of the park Tor two O,
three years"

These colonists are trying to carry into practical
operation the sociolistic theories Of Edward

fled an application TO purchase some land.
The application was held up and not acted
upon and subsequently the Sequoia Park bill
became Q law. The Secretary holds that
these entries are not reserved from the opera
tion Of the park law, for the reason that mere
