THE SENATORIAL CONVENTION,

City last Monday that is no
made to appear clearly on thu
face Of the proceedings. There
were two conventions, so.called
or rather, a convention and
meeting of protesting delegates
The delegates from Hancock and
the delegates of the boiling county
convention of Harrison constitu-
ted the latter class. They declin-
ed to present credentials or to
enter an appearance in the regu-
larry called Senatorial Conven-
ton, and Hancock refused to act
with her associate counties, but
afterward acted with a Harrison
county delegation elected by the
boiling convention of that county.
This boiling delegation, it will be
remembered, was refused a seat in
the recent District Attorneys
Convention, and that upon the
vote of Hancock county, for there
was not a dissenting voice, and
Mr.. Ellis, one of the leading spir-
its of the Hancock delegation, was
secretary of the committee on
credentials, and neither raised
voice or finger in defense of the
excluded delegation with which
he nestled on this occasion. But
we understand these gentlemen
excuse their cooperation with a
body OF delegates which they have
declared to be unauthorized. by
charging that the District EXecu-
tive Committee acted with so
much lrregularity IN changing the
apportionment by increasing the
vote of Jackson and Harrison, as
to render their action void or
voidable.
Now, ~conceding, for the sake of
argument, that the action of the
Executive Committee was irregu-
lar, in what attitude did it leave

FOSTERS PREpICAMENT.

The foreshadowed breakdown Of Sec
rStary FosTER'S scheme Of extending"
the matured A. per cent bonds at two
per cent interest instead Of paying
them. as all other United States bonds
have been paid when due, will be a
black eye for the administration.
The Treasury officials still talk with
apparent confidence Of the ability Of
the Treasury to pay the bonds next
month, but their talk is mere bravado.
According TO present indications, there
is no way to pay them without weaken
ing the gold reserve Of 100000, 900
which ia held for the redemption of the
Ss46, 10000 of greenbacks. The
amount Of the bonds is about $4,000
600. and the available balance in the
Treasury Is stated at $4,000 coo. Only
SIS, 900, 900 Of the bonds have been off,
cred for extension, though the govern
ment's offer has been open for several
weeks.
The New York sun says it twas made
very plain in conversation with some of
the bank presidents who own these
bonds" that ''the banks and the Ad-
ministration are not in accord on the
question" Unless they come into ac-
cord, the extension scheme which Secre-
tary Foster worked up in New York
through the medium OF several dinners
and luncheonS will be a failure, and the
failure of such scheme-which is vir-
tually an endeavor Of the Government
70 borrow money at low rate of in
terest-will seriously discredit the
present administration OF the Treasury
Department, il it has no worse results.

BACK FROM EUROPE.
w, L. Calm Returns From the Picturesque
Isle of Man.

Mr.. W. L. Calm, the well-known
compiler of the city directory, returned
home Yesterday from Il European trip,
having arrived in New York last Sun
day on the steamer Arizona. Mr.. Calm
has been on visit TO the Isle OF Man TO
see his mother, who is now nearly eighty
years of age, but enjoying good health.
This is the fifth time Mr.. Calm has
visited the scenes OF his boyhood days,
and through considerable travelling has
become we'll conversed with the Incl
dents of transatlantic voyages.
The Isle of Man is one OF the most
popular summer resorts in the British
Isles, and during the seasonable part OF
the year there are fully half million
people there, while the native popula-
ton numbers not over $4,000. 1t Is 20
miles from Liverpool, and such is the
excellence Of the ten steamers employed
in the service that the run is made in
two hours and forty-fve minutes, al
most railroad time. The Isle Is 3lH
miles long and 121S miles wide, contain
ing some 2S7 square miles. The chief
city on the island is Oval, named after
the shape OF the Isle. Mr.. Cal
Inns mother lives at q
place called Pearl. The Isle has its
own independent government, and
raises S45,OO0 a year for protection
afforded by the British government.
Mr.. Calm spoke Of Douglass bay,
and of the prominent physical features
Of the Isle, as being remarkably pic
turesque, Carnegie having remarked
that it was the loveliest place he had
ever visited. The mementoes and
monuments of old druidical days are
interestingly preserved in various
parts of the Isle.
Mr.. Calm has made quite study Of
his native soil, so much so that schol-
ars in that section are studying his
tories OF the Isle Of Man complied by
himself
