SAN Francisco April 15.-M. II. de
Young, member of the Republican ma
tional committee. returned today from
Chicago. He said:
l found everywhere a strong feeling for
Blaine. learned in states whose conventions
have declared for Harrison that If Blaine would
permit his name to go before the national con.
vention, the delegation would vote for him.
The general sentiment is that Blsines name
will be hurled into the convention at the last
moment l heard that Blaine did not intend to
make a canvass for the nomination, but if the
people insisted on his running he would submit
to the popular will. l think Blaine wrote that
recent letter stating he would not be candi-
date while he was in poor spirits,
superinduced by Ill health. l had chat
with the secretary of state about the matter.
When he spoke OF his age, | replied that If Mr..
Blaine was able to perform the onerous duties
of the secretary of state he was surely capable
of attending TO presidential tasks. 1t is well
understood in Washington City that the Demo-
Gratis do not intend to pass any bills at this
session, except appropriation bills. They do
not care TO effect any legislation that may in
lure them in the coming campaign, and their
speeches now pending regarded as an idle
expenditure of wind to fill in time.

Rockies. Waste of Flowers.

The extravagant use of flowers in
fashionable circles is almost reckless.
Evidently the tender feeling of the late
Lord Lytton toward the lovely blossoms
has little counterpart. What" said
he, ''have the flowers done that they
should be consigned to graves and
vaultsT' And, respecting his wishes,
Lady Lytton permitted not the smallest
rosebud nor tiniest violet to be placed in
his coffin.
Costly and beautiful boxes and bas-
kets of flowers are sent to sick friends,
to be carefully banished from the sick
room and waste their sweetness unno-
ticed and unappreciated anywhere; at
every feast and function flowers are
everywhere. and are often glanced at
only to estimate their cost; some esthet-
ic hostesses, in lieu of bowls and vases
scattered through the rooms, strew the
flowers loosely about without water to
revive their dropping heads, and in
consequence they quickly fade and die.
One eve went 80 far as to toss them on
the divans and throw them over the
rugs for seated and trampling guests to
bruise out their delicate fragrance.
Gould anything be more barbarous? To
real flower lovers this wasteful profu-
sion approaches a sin.-Her Point Of
View in New York Times.

The votive pictures, yema, of Japs
nese temples are an outgrowth of an old
custom. In ancient times departed war
riors were honored by offerings of sake
and rice placed before their tablets and
tombs. AS the idea gained ground that
their spirits lowered around their graves,
besides food a certain number of spot
less white horses were provided in
which these spiritual worthless might
take recreation. So it became the Gus
tom in wealthy Shinto temples to keep
n of these sacred animals. There were
many shrines that could not afford to
buy a white horse, SO the next best
thing was to get a picture of one. Hence
the anne ye-ma, picture horse, from ye.
a picture, and una, a horse.
The use of the yema was first con-
fined to the Shinto religion, but the Bud
dhists took kindly to the custom. The
word yema has long lost its primitive
meaning, and has become a generic
name for every picture hung up in
Shinto shrines or Buddhistic temples

How Ancient Dye. Were Secured.

Two kinds of boring sea snails sup
piled in ancient times the most famous
of all dyes, known as Tyrian purple,
which vas considered too splendid to be
worn by any but kings and mobiles. One
pound of wool dyed with it was worth
$175, the process by which it was ex-
tracted being very tedious and six
pounds of dye liquor being required for
staining a pound of wool. The liquor
was procured by placing the very small
whelks in a mortar and crushing them.
To this the animals extracted from the
larger shells were added, as well as GER
tain proportions of urine and water in
which the snails had been allowed to
putrefy. In the mixture thus COM,
pounded the cloth or wool to be dyed
was soaked, being afterward exposed to
light. Chemists say that by this proc
ess there was effected a transformation
Of uric acid into purpurate of ammonia,
termed for short 'murexide," because
one of the two species of snails used was
the murex. The other species was what
is known as the purpura,
The murex and purpura were mixed
in the process in the proportion Of two
to nj Fabrics thus dyed had a very
surprising and beautiful effect of color,
presenting metallic green reflections
from n point of view and in others
showing brown and purple tints. Chem
lists for some time imagined that the
iridescence Of the feathers of humming
birds and peacocks was caused by a sub
stance Of the nature Of murexide, but it
is known now that these brilliant hues
are occasioned by a structure of the
feathers which breaks up the light.
Murexide is now obtained from guano
as well as from mollusks. Interview in

A Jack Tar Officer Does it
With His Little Gun.
The Dead Man was a Wealthy,
Handsome Japanese Banker.
Repeatedly Warned by the
Husband to Call a Halt.
He Needed Not and His Life
Paid the Debt.

SAN FRANCISCO, March 5.-The steam
ship City OF Pekin arrived here this after
noon from Yokohama. They report a
very sensational killing there on the 18th
of February, in which a United States
naval officer and a native Japanese banker
were the principals.
George Cover Robinson, a well known
wealthy resident of Yokohama, was shot
and killed on Feb. Is. by Lieut.. j. FL.
Hetheringtou OF the United States
steamer Merriam. The lieutenant. it is
said, was jealous of Ro bipson's attentions
fined aboard the Merriam. Robinson the
Young man killed by Hetherington. was a
Young banker.
He was born in Yokohama and edu-
Gated in England. He was very hand
some, moved in the best society. and be-
ing a well known man about town was
extremely popular. Some time ago he
began paying attentions to Mrs. Hether-'
Ington, and was so devoted that their in
timacy became the gossip of the town.
Hetherington told Robinson hat he
must refrain from seeing Mrs. Hether-
ington and that he had better leave town.
Robinson promised to obey and went
away. In two weeks he returned and
became more devoted than ever to Mrs.
Hetherington. On the evening of Feb.
18th Robinson, with a friend named
Pars, was out driving. when some one on
the road called out for him to stop.
Robinson pulled up when Immediately
two shots were fred from a pistol. The
first one missed but the second took Ell
feet in Robinson's groin and he fell out of
the buggy. Pars also jumped out and
seized Hetherington who had lone the
shooting. He soon released the naval Of
fcer who walked away followed by
Robinson's native servant who pointed
the shooter out to the police. Hethering-
ton was arrested and placed in Jail.
Robinson died soon after the shooting.
On account of the prominence OF both
men and Robinson's great popularity the
affair created a great sensation in the
colony and public sympathy is largely
with Robinson. Passengers from the
Yokohama. who arrived on the steamer
TODAY. state that it was a common report
that Robinson had been undulv intimate
with Mrs. Hetheripgton.

House..

WASHINGTON, March 6.-Tbe magic
power of Chairman Holman OF the ap-
preparation committee wa broken in the
house today for the first time this session,
and all barriers and traditions surround
ing that committee went down under the
impetuous sway of the committee on ag-
ri~culture. 1t was an old conflict of
~prerogatives against the precedents of
the committee on agriculture against the
committee on appropriations, and CHAIR
man Hatch and his colleagues carried the
day.
The effect of this is far reaching and
may break entirely the force of the ap-
propriations committees assumption to
scrutinize and revise all appropriations
to be passed upon by this congress. The
bill over which the struggle occurred was
one called up by Chairman Hatch appro-
p~riating as a deficiency $3.50, 900 for ex-
periments in sugar production. Holman
Immediately objected on the ground that
the bill came properly under the jurisdic-
ton of his committee. He further OBJ
jected that the agricultural committee
had not properly investigated the question
of appropriation, and propounded several
inquiries.
Hatch declined to be catechised, and in
the course of a sharp speech said it was
none of the gentleman's business. 1t was
the business of the committee on agricul-
ture, which had thoroughly Investigated
the matter. Time aud time again he had
seen the gentleman from Indiana take the
constitutional knife and pare approprla
ton so they couldn't be seer under a
microscope. but when his own state was
interested he opened the doors wider thar
necessary to let the capitol building
through. Laughter. One of the first
speeches he ever heard the gentleman
make was in favor OF a bill to build a turn
pike road in Indiana. Where the gen
tleman got his constitutional authority to
build a turn pike road in Indiana he never
could see. The bill was then passed.
After the bill was disposed of, as noted
above, the house went into a committee
OF the whole on the invalid pension bill.
and discussion of a political nature fol-
lowed. When the passage of the bill was
in order a dispute arose over a minor
amendment and Bailey of Texas made a
point OF no quorum. He did this, he
said. to call the attention of the country
to the fact that the members didn't at
tend the sessions in sufficient numbers to
transact business. The house then ad-
journed.

Anybody can have a light step who
will be at the pains to set the foot down
right. In that lies all the difference be-
twixt a humping, Jumping gait and the
light tread that makes people call you
'velvet footed" The whole art and
mystery lies in a single sentence: Put
the ball of the feet down first, throwing
the Weight upon it and letting the heel
come to the floor the hundredth part of
a second after. Treading fiat footed
over all the sole at once-the weight
comes with a jar that is about equally
destructive to quiet, to grace and to
shoe leather. By stepping first on the
ball, just back of the toes, its cushiony
muscles act as a spring and make of
walking a double pleasure. - Harper's
