IHE HATCH BILL.

WASHINGTON, July 27-There is no hope
even among the most earnest supporters
of the anti-option bill that 1t will go
through at this session of congress, and in
stead of there being possibility now of
holding out against an adjournment 1t
looks as though adjournment was going
to be forced very early. Only one thing
stands in the way, and that is the world, s
fair appropriation in the sundry civil bill,
and already two members OF the senate
conference committee have stated that
they expect TO recede from that aPpropria-
tion if the house insists that it will not
give the fair that amount. As soon as the
bill is out OF the way, and even if there is
any long fight over it, the members of
both bodies will quietly leave the city.
Senator Washburn says that there Is no
doubt that the opponents of the Hatch bill
can talk it to death, the same as they did
the election bill, al there ara no rules III

COLORADO FUSI0NISTS.
The Silver Men Dickering With the Peo,
pies Party Leaders.

DENVER, July 27.-Colisseum hall was
dark and gloomy by reason of rainy day
when the Peoples party state convention
was called to order this morning. But II
the hall was gloomy, the delegates were
not. They fairly bubbled over with en-
thusiasm and good nature. The members
of Yesterdays silver convention were there
in large numbers, and the Democrats and
Republicans who have left their parties TO
cling to the silver standard were just as
enthusiastic in the cause as those VINO
have been Peoples party men for years.
Stephen r. Pratt of Denver was elected
temporary chairman.
The various committees were then
named, amoug them being one to confer
with the conference committee appointed
at Yesterdays silver convention tor the
purpose of deciding upon fusion on the
state ticket.
A motion to adjourn was lost, so anxious
was the convention to get down to work.
B. Clark Wheeler of Aspen was called to
the platform to fill time and made speech
The credential committee reported no
contests and the temporary organization
was made permanent.
At the afternoon session the conference
committee presented its report through Is.
Clark Wheeler. Mr.. Wheeler prefaced his
remarks by saving that the conference
with the silver league committee had been
harmonious The JOINT conference Gull
mittee, he said, would simply recommend
that nominations be made from list or
names, that of presidential electors being
the exact number requisite, but several
dual recommendations were made for the
state ticket. The list WAS read, and then
ensued long discussion. Some o. the
names were not familiar ones to the dele
gates, and there was some complaint mat
two of them were not the names OF
Peoples party men.
Finally an adjournment was taken till
tomorrow, so that the delegates might in
quire into the records Of the various can
dldates recommended for nomination.
The silver convention was in session only
short time today, and adjourned till to-
morrow, when the action OF The People 5
party state convention upon the fusion
question will be known.
Another immense audience gathered at
Coliseum hall tonight to listen to Mrs.
Mary +. Lease of Kansas and General
James b. Weaver of the Peoples party.
Mrs Lease WAS greeted with loud cheering
when she stepped forward to speak. she
concluded her address by inviting all pres
ent who were in favor of helping the Peo
ple's party cause to hit me with a silver
dollar" Her invitation was followed by a
rain of silver dollars, amidst much laugh.
ter and applause. Baskets were also sent
through the audience, and large sum
! was collected.
| General Weaver was then introduced
and made an Interesting address.

The "Great Lady" In America

A recent writer in the Nineteenth
Century, in study of New York So
ciety, puts forward the lady's maid as
an important factor in the process OF
evolution which the society class has
undergone during the last twenty years
The lady's maid is now as common in
New York as in London, and her vast
increase in this city may be regarded
as significant of the change in the
woman she serves. She has, in fact,
developed from the woman OF wealth
and leisure, but still of simple habits,
into the great lady" Of old world
aristocracy. Said visiting English
man to a New York woman the other
day: 81 find the class distinctions here
quite as strongly drawn as in London.
Really, I think in the more formal
households IN which l have been the
lines are preserved with greater rigidity
than in many English establishments Of
the same class"

THE FIRST CABLE.
It Was Simply a Naked Core with No Pro-
tectiag Sheath.

It Was Simply Naked Core with No Pro-
tecting Sheath.
In modern cables the core Is always
protected first by serving of hemp or
jute and then by an outer sheath OF soft
steel wires, which are relied on to fur
nish the mechanical strength which the
cable must have in order that it may
stand the pulling about which it re-
ceives in laying and repairing. But
in the pioneer trial there was no idea
of O protecting sheath; the naked core
was to be laid in the channel to form
the first telegraph between England
and France. There was but q single
wire of copper inside, according to the
Saturday Review nowadays there is al
WAYS strand of several wires twisted
together), and this was covered with
gutta percha SO thickly as to bring the
diameter to half an inch. The covered
wire was wound on a great reel on the
deck of steam tug in Dover harbor,
and after number of preliminary trips
the line was laid on the Esd of August,
1850. Lead sinkers were attached at
every hundred yards to carry the cable
to the bottom, for in the absence of any
heavy sheathing its specific gravity
scarcely exceeded that of sea water.
The attempt was at once made to open
communication, but though signals
seemed to pass nothing could be made
of them, and Mr.. Smith records that
the operators at each end were regret
fully forced to the conclusion that those
at the other end had been lunching, not
wisely, but too well. Next day matters
were worse, no signals could pass at
all. The cable was broken, and so end
ed this first attempt at submarine tel
egraphy.
The signals of the first day had been
unintelligible, not because of any breach
of continuity ON the part Of the cable or
failure in temperance on the part OF its
guardians, but simply in consequence OF
electrostatic induction, the influence OF
which in retarding the electric pulses
was not then understood. 1t was to
overcome the difficulty caused by in
duction that Sir William Thomson,
eight years later, invented his mirror
! galvanometer. thereby making it prac-
! ticable to speak at a reasonable pace
| even through lines as long as those that
cross the Atlantic.

WASHINGTON, July 27,-The honse OF
representatives adjourned today with
filibustering movement in full swing ana
with no light ahead to show how long 1T
will continue, or how it will end. The
outspoken filibusters say that they VIII
see the sundry civil bill killed before the
appropriation for the worlds fair shall
carry. Some of the Republican members
are charging that it is part of the pollcy Oh
the majority to permit the sundry civil
bill to fail unless the senate backs down
on the worlds fair appropriation, for the
reason that it will enable prima facle
contrast to be made between the appro-
priations of the first session of the FIFTY
first and those of theFifty-second congress
Most Of the members of the house are as
much interested in the adJournmenG
question as in the fair appropriation, ana
tomorrow an adjournment resolution may
be brought in. If passed, it Will be Tor the
senate to say whether or not 1T will stay
here as long as the flibusters are willing
to stay, aud to make the question OF tne
fair appropriation a matter of simple en-
durance.

Weak Stomach strengthened by BEECH
AMiS pills -

Billy Plimmer, the English bantam
weight who whipped Tommy Kelly, the
American champion, believes that he
can lower the colors of George Dixon,
providing the colored lad comes to his
weight. The other day Plmmer sent a
challenge to Captain Cooke, offering to
fight Dixon at 112 pounds, weigh at ring
side, in three weeks for $4,000 a side and
@ purse.
There seems little likelihood of Slavin
and Jackson meeting again in England.
No club is disposed to put up purse of
10000 to arrive at what they consider
a foregone conclusion. The conviction
has grown in English minds that Jack
son is Slavin's superior at all points OF
the fstic game, and Slavin will have
some difficulty in finding backing un-
less his Australian admirers determine
TO give the big white man one more
chance.
