CLEVELAND AND GRAY.
Indlana's Man Leads for the yice-Presi
1gncy.

dcncy.
CHICAGO, June ?2.-The result of the
Indiana caucus was Immediately, OF
course, to greatly encourage the Cleve.
land forces. There was another effect
quite as immediate. q This was the de.
velopment of the first distinctive Vice.
Presidential boom of the convention.
Everywhere one could hear: "The
ticket will be Cleveland and Gray"
Indiana's ex-governor would un.
doubtedly be accepta BILE to majority
of the Cleveland delegates. The sug-
gestion is made, however, that in the
event of Cleveland's nomination any.
thing that savored of antagonism to
the Hill people must be strictly avoided.
The Hill people are far from being
pleased with the action taken yester-
dap by ex-Gov. Gray's friends. While
they might have been willing to throw
their strength to Gray for President,
in case Hill should be dropped, the re-
suit of yesterdays Indiana caucus
places Gray in the ranks of Tammany's
opponents. If Tammauy should object
strongly to the nomination of Gray for
Vice President, it is reasonable to sup
pose that some other man will be
selected.
1t is too early however, for senti.
rlent on the Vice Presidency to crys'
tallize. There will undoubtedly be a
dozen favorite sons suggested who are
now scarcely thought Of

closely punctuated his remarks, and
the same was true when the Presiden,

reputation has been confined to the
limits of Kentucky. The usual pre-
liminary business will be done and the
convention will adjourn to await the
permanent organization.
Congressman w. l.. Wilson of West
Virginia, though not a member of the
convention, is now said to be the choice
for permanent chairman instead of en-
Governor Campbell of Ohio. There is
no reason why the convention should
not nominate Mr.. Cleveland and his
running mate to-day, though the pro.
ceedings may be prolonged for n day.
The nomination of Cleveland on the
first ballot seems now so well assured
that there are only two other points
worth attention. These are the Vice
Presidency and the platform.
The second place on the ticket is due
ex Gov Gray of Indiana. Gen. Steven
son, with forty-eight Illinois votes be-
hind him and with great personal
popularity, might be able to get tho
nomination after struggle, but
the men who are running the Cleveland
campaign don't want any contests
/ Illinois is a Cleveland State, and a
curious objection was made last night
that it was not good politics to place
two Cleveland men on the Presidential
ticket. This idea seemed TO obtain
with Whitney, Harrity, Dickinson,
Villas and the others who have been
leaders in the Cleveland campaign.
Yet so good a politician as Senator
| Gorham is understood to favor Steven.
J son.
Gen. Adlai Stevenson's friends have
plenty of time to consider their course
Some of them went to Whitney last
night and protested against Gray.
They thought Illinois had a much bet,
ter right to the Vice. presidency than
Indiana, but they did not say they
would press his candidacy if the man.
aging elements were bound to nomi-
nate Gray as matter of political ex-
pediency. They can make up their
minds what is best after the balloting
for President is ended. If the conven-
ton should show disposition to re-
sent Gray Gen. Stevenson might be
pressed, yet there is little likelihood
that convention which is well in
hand will seek to break away from
any candidate for the second place

boat conveying the representatives OF

as the boat steamed after the crews,

The Telephone And Polyphased
Currents.


During the Frankfort-Lauifen OK
pertinent, tests were made by the
German postal telegraph authorities,
to determine the effect produced by
polyphased currents upon telephone
communication. Wires parallel with
polyphased circuit for from / to By
miles and 30 feet distant, were found
TO be rendered entirely useless 1t Is
stated that ground return tele-
bhone wire starting from great DIS
lance and crossing the disturbing line
Was also rendered useless. 1t is also
stated that where double wire tele-
i,hone circuits were parallel, that
when the voltage on the three-phased
circuit was from 10000 to $4,000, u
noise was heard which increased until
with 20 900 volts, all conversation
became impossible.
These two statements are entirely
contrary to experience with simple al
terrating currents, as with these, when
the ordinary voltages are used, they
produced no preceptible effect on n
Telephone line crossing them, nor are
nny disturbances noticed in telephone
lines that are parallel, ana whose out
roing and return wires are close to-
gether and parallel. 1t seems that
Inc multiphase currents have much
less effect upon parallel telephone
lines chan have simply alternating
currents as usually employed, and
This il probably due to tho Tact that
I'm the three pha:e. there is
always n return, ard this comes
lust midway between the phases
/ OF the two out going currents,
thu. making the resultant induced
ucriodic current, one ofanundulatory

or character. This would be so
smooth ut low pressures as to pro
duce but little effect, but the varia,
fions at say $4,000 volts would still
be Great enough to destroy the use Of
tLe line for conversational purposes
The effect OF disturbance OF cross
ing wire must be purely magnetic and
could not be observed except under
exceptionally high voltages, but would
doubtless be greater in simple alter
| mating currents at the same poten

A Useful Plaster.

A material combining the best
qualities of the ordinary plaster and
those of fire-proofcement is being used
in London. One of the advantages
claimed by the manufacturers OF the
plaster is that the plasterer can COM

completely finish it before the day is
out without special preparation OF
thesurface The next day there is a
hard surface, which continues to tough"
en- until the result is q wall or ceiling
which will withstand damage from
any sort OF rough treatment. 1t Is al.
so claimed that walls, ceilings and
battened or strapped walls which are
coated with this material will never
crack. Used pure, this plaster lies on
the ceiling like gauged putty.

Electric Lighting In Time OF War.
The immense advantage OF the
promtitude with which powerful cleo
trio lights can now DO installed in
commanding positions was exempli-
fled in the recent civil war in Chill.
An electrician was sent out TO Chilli by
u French firm Of electrical engineers
charge of an electric light and power
plant for the Santiago Exhibition.
just as the exhibition was about to
close the civil war broke out, and one
Sunday morning the electrician re-
ccived n telegram from the Minister Of
the Interior at Valparaiso ordering
him to betake himself Immediately To
that city On arriving the electrician
was told to install, without delay, at
Fort Boreas n protector which would
command the Bay of Valparaiso, Aft
or IN hours search in the arsenal u
Siemens protector was unearthed, A
twelve horse-power threshing machine
was then borrowed and dynamo
was brought upirom the exhibition at
Santiago, lao miles distant, by spec
ial train, together with n supply OF
posts and wires. Thirty two hours
after the receipt OF the telegram the
plant was at work. IL ran well for
ak months until the protector was
blown to pieces by n shell.
