effective business to be transacted ana
ample opportunity was afforded for
the regalement of delegates by flow
of oratory. A ripple OF en-
thusiasm swept over the convention
when Delaney of Alaska conveyed
the information that the great popu-
lar leader, Senator Palmer, in his
capacity as the recognized leader OF
the Democratic party of Illinois, as a
man to whom the forty-eight dele
gates of the Prairie State have vowed
obedience in declaring for Grover
Cleveland, had pledged the electoral
vote of this great state to the nominee
of this convention whoever he may be
next November. He was the only
speaker of the day who ignored the
tariff question for the issue, which
was more vital at least to the Repub-
licans of the state. "The Republicans
at Minneapolis" said he, "have writ
ten upon their platform a menace TO
the people of the country in a
new force bill" A sure cause
of tariff reform had travelled every
zone from torrid to frigid by submit
ting his credentials as delegate from
the territory of Alaska and announc-
ing himself as the representative OF
the pioneer people engaged in build,
ing up civilization in the widest and
most remote dominion of the republlc
The first speech of the day was fy
Gen. John NJ. Palmer, whom the Dem
ocrats of Illinois were pleased to term
"The Gladstone of America, "and who
was unanimously invited to address
the convention. The senator's speech
awakened all the latent political
feryor that has been waiting for days
to be quickened to enthu-
siasm by stirring eloquence.
GAS sure as Benjamin Harrison
is elected and the next congress is
Republican we shall have force bill
such as the ingenuity of John Daven-
port or the devil may suggest" The
deafening cheers which followed this
sentence was evidence that the south
at least, would exert every possible
effort to prevent either of the charac-
tiers mentioned from ever having an
opportunity to exercise that ingenu-
ity in the line of Senator Palmer's
warming. Hon. VIM. l.. Wilson of
West Virginia, was admitted by all
to have made the speech of his life in
assuming the gavel as permanent
chairman of the convention. The
speech from this distinguished
tariff reformer of the Democratic party
would not be typical of his greatness
were it not largely devoted to the
tariff reform movement. In all this
speech there was not state express
sion; not single blackeyed phrase so
common to campaign orators. "There's
no self government where the people
do not control their own elections and
lay down their own tactics" was the
first indirect allusion to the force bill
but the audience quickly caught the

How Well Known Men sleep

Gladstone rarely takes less than seven
hours sleep. Whenever he is preparing
for great effort in the house of com.
mons he always likes short afternoon
siesta. Bismarck has displayed sim.
liar habit on the occasion of the most
fierce parliamentary debates. When all
night sittings were common Parnell
would go to his hotel, seek his bed and
leave instructions with one of his col.
leagues to have him aroused whenever a
crucial point was reached. These are
only a few examples of the great men
who have shown their thorough appreci.
alton of that great boon which 'knits up
the raveled sleeve of care. '"-Interview

Unnatural Love Leads to Suicide.

LOUISVILLE, KY, Jnne 22.-Un-
natural love for one of her own sex
caused Mollie Villains to commit
suicide. The woman for some time
has shown a marked partiality for
her "woman lover" who quarrelled
with her. Mollie became respondent.
Shortly before 10 o'clock she left the
house and jumped into the river. She
was drowned before a float tender
who saw her jump, could render as
sistance. She was 20 years of age
The body was recovered.

A Passenger Train Crashes Into Stalled
Freight at Denison.

Special to the Statesman.
DENIsoN, Tex, June 22.-Anotner
disastrous wreck occurred one mile
north of Denison, near the rolling
mill. at 8 a. m. A long freight train
was coming up the hill in charge Of
Conductor Breeding. The load had
proved too much for the engine, and
caused some delay On the grade. A
signal was placed about five teie-
graph poles back from where the train
came to a standstill in order to nag
passenger train No. 8, which was
coming behind the freight. The pas
senger train failed to observe the dan
ger signal, and at the switch near the
rolling mill dashed int, the freight
with great force. Engineer johnson
and Fireman Wrightjumped from the
engine and soon reached some me
cars of coal oil. In the flash
of moment the cars were
in flames. The freight engine ana
train men separated the cars and pull
ed all other cars up the hill. Passen'
gers from the rear train pushed the
passenger coaches down hill from the
fire. Before much good was accom-
plished the engine, caboose and two
freight cars loaded with kerosene,
also baggage and mail cars were in
flames and soon reduced to ashes. In
the mail cars were E. E. BiXby, Ce.
Lancaster and w. G. Williams. Lam
caster was thrown against an iron
bar and hurt internally. Bixby had
his right leg and arm badly bruised
by being thrown against the wall
Williams was hurt on the left side
but not seriously. Bixby remained IN
the car and handed out the sacks OF
mail to the other clerks, thus saving
all from the flames, his clothes were
nearly burned from his body. Passen.
gers were all badly shaken, several
jumped out of windows and received
small bruises. Engineer Johnson was
burned painfully about the hands ano
face. A brakeman on the frelgh,
train was also burned and slightly
bruised in jumping The two oil cars
caboose, engine, mail and exprers cal
were new. The debris has been clear
ed and all trains are on time. The Dial
las Light Guard Infantry were on the

Why Teak Wood Is Durable.

The teak, which has passed into prov
erb as the best material for shipbuild
ing, is superior to all other woods from
the fact that it contains an essential oil
which prevents spikes and nails driven
into it from rusting. This property is
not possessed by any other wood in the
world, and furnishes an explanation of
the fact that ships built of teak are
practically indestructible. Some have
been known to last for $50 years, and
when broken up their beams were as
sound as when first put together. Phil

But she leaves him yearning;
Never, until time shall pass,

The New York Syracuse delegates
received the cold shoulder this morn
ing from the credentials committee,
and General Bragg of Mississippi,
who offered the resolution to give
them seats in the convention hall (as
spectators and without vote) had to
withdraw it for the reason that it
could not receive a unanimous vute of
the committee and must be passed by
majority vote if at all. The incident
showed the feeling with which a
large number Of delegates regard the
Syracuse convention. They regard
the Syrrcusites as seeking to break
down the regular organization.
Southern members, including warm
supporters of Cleveland, especially are
hostile to the May convention dele
gates.
They say the Democracy in the
South will be overwhelmed if the reg
ular organization is not kept in full
binding force and are opposed to indie
pendent movements. Notwithstand-
ing this feeling the Alabama contest
ants were admitted to the galleries by
the committee, but when it came to
the Syracuse delegation objection was
heard Bragg of Wisconsin said this
morning that in view of the action of
giving seats to the Alabama delega-
tion who are opposing the regular or
ganization he would ask the same
thing for the New York delegates.
Accordingly he offered resolution
declaring that the contesting delega-
tion from New York having with
drawn from the contest lest it might
engender bitterness, it is the sense or
the committee that the delegates from
the Syracuse convention be entitled

sentiment and the ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
reverberated with a storm of enthusi-
asm that would have rivaled an at
mospheric cyclone fearfully expected
on the outside just at this time.
He denounced the political methods
of the Republican party by saying
that "in every campaign the privi-
lege of taxing people would continue
to be bartered for contributions to cor
rupt them at the polls, and after every
victory new Mckinley bill would be
enacted to repay these contributions
with taxes wrung from the people"
Republican reciprocity he denounced
as being but retaliation upon the peo-
pie for the necessities of other people.
He epitomized the Republican doc
trine Of protection, by saying it meant
'if you are forced by our necessities
OF led by your tollies to make bread
higher and scareer to your people, you
will make shoes and sugar higher
and scarcer to our people,"
