cannot carry Delaware aud that if he is
nominated they will give up all hope.
Senator Higgins and other republicans
say that is the truo condition and ii Is the
balief among democrats as well as repub-
licaus that II is extremely doubtful whether
the state of Delaware will ever be gotten
back into the democratic column. President
Harrison's administration has been so ac-
ceptable In the state that the mugwump, and
conservative business men as well as
farmers have como over to him, almost in

a large degree for the anti-Harrison talk and
that they are actuated by merccnary motives
These two cities have raised large sum of
cash with which to meet the expenses of the

session SO as to reap the commercial benefit
and have been and are now using all their
efforts ts dsaouse tho mind OF the public
that the president will be renominated by ac-
clamation and that the convention will be of
very short duration. They are, the Star
says, doing all they can to create the impress
sion that tho presidents denomination is
doubtful and the session of the convention
will be prolonged by wraugles and conten-
tions so us to draw q large crowd and keep
it with them.

yoratly in tho honse he (Mr. Pettigrew)
would not report the Worlds fair bill in the

tinued, was untrue in every respect, and as
proof of its falsehoou he had read letter
from MIR. Newberry confirming his statement.
Naval Appropriation Bill.
The consideration Of the naval appropria-
tion bill was resumed, and Mr.. CocSrell
continued his argument against the amend
ment reported by the senate committee on
appropriations for the construction OF a sea-
going coast line batteship, one harbor de-
fense double turret ship of tue monitor type,
four light draft gun boats and six torpedo
boats. Referring to Mr.. Allson's assertion
that there would be surplus of S25, 900 600
in the treasury on the lst of January next, or
any surplus, it would be because the adjust
ment aRd payment of large items would be
delayed aud postponed IN the treasury de-
partment. He opposed the pending amend
ment as he also opposed the increase pro-
vided for in tho house bill.
Mr.. Butler said ne would vote with graat

Conference gossip.

The contest over the edltorship of the
Central Christian Advocate will close today
in all probability. The fight seems to lie
between DR.. Creighton of Nebraska and Dr.
Bowman Young of Kansas City, although
DR.. Goodwin of Illinois is coming round the
bend at a rate that is calculated 10 make the
aspirants redoube their efforts.
II is claimed by some OF DR.. Creghton's
friends that DR.. Bowman Young has struck
below the belt, By digging up some old
stories about Dr. Creighton that wero buried
out OF sight years ago because they werc
false from beginning to END. These old stories
reflect upon DR.. Crcighton's character, and
his friends think it was not exactly the work
of a Christian spirit that dug them up at this
particular time. Aside from this the cam
paign seems to have been conducted in very
gentlemanly manner.
The committee on episcopacy decided last
evening 10 recommend to the con ference that
an Episcopal residence be established in Eu-
rope. The committee also decided 10 recon-
mend that the bishops be allowed to select
their residences from tho list IN the order Of

THE KN0TTY PROBLEM
How to Get q Double Street Oar
Track to North wheelips
HRESTLEB WITH BY C0gNglMEN
steep Grades an obstacle Every
where-survsys Made ofthe Several
Contemplated Routes Yesterday,
but a Decision Deferred--A switch
Granted in south Wheeling.

Yesterday six members Of the Coun-
Gil committees on streets. alleys and
grades and railroads went over the
proposed routes Of the double street
car tracks in North Wheeling. They
were accompanied by City Engineer
Hose, With his instruments, and Presi-
dent Jolly and superintendent Lotus,
Of the electrical railways. The propo-
sition Of the company is to lay a second
track up Main street, while residents
and councilmen prefer track up Mar
ket and down Main. The matter was
by Council referred to the Joint com
mittee, hence the assembly OF yester-
day.
But six members reported, and IT re-
quired eight 20 make aquorum. II
was decided, however, 70 70 oyer the
ground anyhow, and several houra
were spent along the route in consider
ing the matter.
The company objects first to the long
and steep grade up Market street from.
Tenth to Seventh, which would be very
costly to operate, on account Of the
enormous power that would have to be.
transmitted so long q distance. This is.
q grade Of about A per cent continuous
for three squares.
Seventh street was also measured, aud
found 10 have a grade OF ten per cent.
To ascend it would be almost impossi-
bic, while TO descend II would be ex-
ceedingly dangerous. Besides these OBJ
iections, TO run on Seventh street from
Market 10 Main would still require
double track on Main Tor most OF the
line.
The other plan suggested was to run
by Market aud Coal streets 70 Fourth,
and down Fourth to Main. Here q
grade Of from eight to fifteen per cent
was encountered, even more objection
able than h eSeventh street route, audit
was also found that the Coal street part
of the way would not accommodate oae
track without using so much OF the
street that vehicles could not pass AGAR.
The committee discussed the matter
informally and deferred action until q
larger number Of members could be
present They then wentto the Eighth
ward, 70 look into the matter OF Q
switch the electrical company desired
70 lay TO ita power house. Alter ex-
amining the lay Of the land, the com.
mittee agreed to recommend to Council
at it's meeting this evening that the
right to lay the switch be granted.
