Yncatan's Deadly Spider.

A sailor on Il COaStinc vessel which
plies between Galveston, Texas and ports
On the Gulf has some very Interesting
specimens which lac secured while on tho
coast of Nucutan. Among them is u
large jar filled with enormous spiders,
which he says are looked upon with
greatest fear by the Indians Of the central
portion of that country, and which are
undoubtedly the largest ever seen.
The body Of the spider is fully five
inches in diameter and the legs are short
and thick, being especially adapted to
running and climbing. They are about
two inches long and rs big around as an
ordinary led pencil. The animal is of
graylsh brown color, bat is most pecu
liirly marked by deep red bands which
cross it. body, extending clear around
ding0nally from shoulder to hip, cross
inc each other III the middle Of the back
and the centre of the belly.

can i,a,iiy be- seen, and even the dead
ones bad such fcrocious aspect that

in% is peculiarly adapted to the county,
! fer the body Is like the earth. while the
rcd bands ate like many of the creeping
vines which abound among the rocks of
| the interior.
The hcrccncSs Of the insect and the
marking on the back have induced the
IndrmS to name it the "Dcvirs Soldier,
and they say that it is undoubtedly the
worst foe to man in that whole country,
making it almost impossible for any ono

TEMPORARY CHAIRMAN

Fas,ett Selected by Blaine aIsn-Horaee
Porter Said to bo HRrrison's Choice.
MrxxEAroLIs, juno 6.-The Blaine
forces have practically settled upon
Senator Fassett, OF New York, as their
candidate for temporary chairman OF
the convention. The New York
delegation has formally canvassed the
matter, and during the morning, without
a caucus, which il is said by friends o.
ex-senator Platt, the decision is expect
ed to bereached, are directing that New
York present tho name Of Mr.. Fassett,
OF the national committee, for chair
man, The Harrison men continue to
talk OF General Horace Porter as the
candidate for temporary chairman. but
thus far have not come to any definite
conclusion.
Senator Garry, Of Wyoming, who has
been one OF tho staunchest supporters
OF the President, and is in the councils
OF the Harrison men, said this morning
that the Harrison folks would certainly
antagonize Mr.. Fassett whenever an
effort was made to nominate him for
temporary chairman.
They would not agree, they said, upon
such prominent man, and so strong q
supporter OF Mr.. Blaine for the position.

WASHINGTON, D. c., June 6.-To-
night about o'clock the President and
Secretaries Foster, Elkins, and Rusk
we're sitting on the rear veranda of the
White House smoking and discussing
tho political situation in private. secre-
tary Halford was busily engaged in the
Presidents office examining Associated
Press bulletins and private kilograms.
: "The word We get from our friends in
Minneapolis" said Mr.. Halford to the
ISTELLIGEScER correspondent, "is OF
very encouraging character. There
seems to be no change in the situation
and We are very sanguine."
"Have you had any cause to revise
your former estimates since the resig-
nation of Mr.. Blaine2" was asked.
ave have had no occasion to lower
our estimates" answered Mr.. Halford
with an emphasis on the word "lower."
Senator Manderson's estimate that
the Nebraska delegation would vote for
President Harrison at the Minneapolis
convention was confirmed to-day by AS
sistant Attorney General Colby, OF Ne
braska, who returned to Washington to-
day. He said that he had talked to the
Nebraska delegation after Mr.. Blaine's
resignation had been rendered, and
could state that every member Of the
delegation would stand solid for Mr..
Harrison, even il Mr.. Blaine is pro-
posed. In his opinion the announce
ment Of the resignation Is calculated to
help the Presidents chances.
Senator Hale has within the past
forty.eight hours become a decided
Blaine champion. He now says he
thinks Mr.. Blaine is practically candi-
date for the nomination. Mr.. Blaine,
he says, is taking no active interest in
the contest himself, but has tacitly con-
sented to receive the nomination. Mr..
Hale put at rest the baseless rumor that
Mr.. Blaine intended going TO Ainne-
apolis. The ex.secretary and his family
have arranged to leave for Bar Harbor
tomorrow, whore they anticipate
spending the summer.
The usual sensational reports were
flying about to-day. The most recent

were present from the Pacific coast and

Senator Teller, OF Colorado, was selec.

Senator Teller held that 1t would be

that would be supported. If Harrison
would be the nominee, It mattered not
how strong a silver plank might be
adopted, the Ropublicans could not

declared specifically that Harrison un-
der no circumstances could get the
electoral vote OF Colorado. Much ex-
element was caused by Mr.. Teller's
blunt declaration, and he was vigorous

Spence spoke at great length. gesticula-
ting violently and becoming almost
white at times with passion.
Mr.. DoYoung, OF California, followed
Spence in a spirited address and was re-
inforced by no less a Blaine lieutenant
than Boutelle, OF Maine. The latter
spoke with marked emotion OF the
Western support OF Blaine in 1884, and
that he had been escorted to his home
by California delegates. Proceeding,
Boutelle urged it would be no less fitting
now.
Senator Jones, of Nevada, succeeded
Boutelle, and though the caucus was
reaching well into the evening the in
terest was undated and the attendance
showed not the slightest diminution.

THE CoLoRED DELEGATION


In tho Minneapolis Convention Is the
Largest In the Phrty'S History.
MINNEAPOLIS, MIMI, June Cit has
been many years since a Republican
national convention contained so many
colored delegates as will be seated in
tho convention hall tomorrow noon:
A mass meeting of colored delegates
and politicians has been held in this
city, at which the following resolutions
were adopted:
Resolred, that as colored delegates to
the national Republican convention, VIC
are assembled especially to demand OF
the national convention respectful
hearing and consideration Of the mat
ters presented and contained IN the
memorial OF the national civil rights as
sociation, and that the colored delegates
stand upon such declaration OF rights
as the last guarantee which they can ac-
cept at the hands OF the Republican
party.
The memorial will be presented to
the convention in the earlier hours by
the colored delegates, and it will be es-
poused by Albion W. Tourgee, the
well known agitator.
The movement now has the support
Of John NJ. Langston, Of Virginia, while
ex-Senators Bruce and Lynch, who
represent the other wing OF the negro
element, are opposed 10 the scheme. In
an interview on the subject to-day,
I.angston said thatthe negroes proposed
to push the matter. He said:
1.-THE feeling OF the colored people in
word is that any needed legislation
with respect to the protection of the
colored voters OF the South should
be secured through the agency
Of tho Republican party Of the United
States. Ii there is no need for legisln-
ton, it is tho feeling OF the colored
people and their friends that the laws
heretofore enacted shall be promptly
and efFectually enforced"
Auditor Lynch, of the treasury, said
that he has not heard OF any organized
movement and announced himself as
opposed 10 it. He said that tile colored
men expected OF tho Republican party
and would secure recognition OF their
rights. What they wanted and would
ask was that tho party should
put in its platform q
plank guaranteeing to the colored
man the right to vote, and to bo free
from intimidation. They wanted law
passed, federal control Of elections
wherever right was denied to them,
but he again remarked that he would
not take part in such movement, as
the present seemed to be. 80.

MISxEApoLIs, MINI, June 6.-The
Blaine managers are hilarious tonight,
and maintain that there is a serious
break in the South and that southern
delegates are preparing to swing into
line for Blaine. Besides Tennessee,
which came in in the afternoon, Texas
and Alabama are the latest additions
claimed by the Blaine column.
Then are about eighty votes involved
in contests, and Of this number they
say the subcommittee OF the national

emphatically, "my name cannot be

against the President, and no friend OF
