They Find It Necessary to Build q wigwam
for the National Convention.
CHICAGO Feb. 3.-The local committee Of
Democrats to provide for the coming Ma
tional Convention has at last abandoned all
hope of securing the interstate Exposition
building in which to hold the convention.
The use of the building would delay the con-
struction OF the new Art Institute building,
which must be built on the Exposition build
ing site before the Worlds Fair opens.
Tho committee has decided to build wig
wan capable of seating 150 0G0 people, A
committee was appointed to select site.
It's probable that that portion of the Lake
Front north of Battery D may be decided
upon. The wigwam will cost at least S27,OOO.

HISTORY repeats itself, and Allegheny

Norman Conquest was begun at the last
battle of that name in England and made a
considerable change in the history of the
island. Whatever the result of the present
battle it cannot but be of benefit to Allie

WHEN delegation of New York bust

an appropria tion of 1000 for. the repre-

the Executive of the State interrupted their
presentation OF the subject by the emphatic
but illogical exclamation: "Rats, rats!"
This seems to afford an urgent case for the
employment OF the New York Suns office

1t is reassuring to law-abiding citizens
that the last two attempts to extort money.

THE troubles between the Socialists and

right of public open air meeting. In a
large measure tie dispute arises from the
fact that the London police, instead of be-
ing under the city authorities, are directly
controlled by the Home Office of the nation
al administration. There is growing move
ment for the transferrence of the police
management to the city, which Is likely to

A SUBMARINE MINE.
Successful Test of y Coast Defender That
Will Destroy Ships.

Will Destroy Ships.
NEWPORT. Feb.3.-[Speciall l-For some time
past Lieutenant Marshall, attached to the
torpedo station, has been engaged in a very
close study of torpedo construction and har-
Dor defense. His latest invention is a sub
marine mine. In shape it is like coffin, and
is made of sheet iron. Its total weight is $50
pounds. 1t contains a charge of gun
cotton equivalent to 102 pounds of dry gun
cotton. The mine is so constructed that it
may be fired from battery on shore or by
contact, at will.
Yesterdays test was from the wharf of the
torpedo station, and was for buoyancy and
immersion, and the result showed a capa-
bility to stand the weight OF so pounds,
which could be added either in explosives or
construction power. The mine was exploded
by electricity from shore, and was in every
respect most perfect success.

light fingered gentleman or gentlemen, 1t
should be stated that one committing
robbery of this nature last night on Penn

1stent honesty. He left behind him-an
exchange in his mind being no robbery-a

to take with him the grease with which 1t
