The Rock OF Gibraltar.

The rock is the most remarkable object
at Gibraltar 1t is impossible to describe
the effect produced on the mind by the
sight of those immense tunnels, crossing
each other in all directions. bifurcating
again and again, sometimes lit up, some.
times wrapped in the deepest darkness,
forming an inextricabie network of gall
leries and passages, a most confused
labyrinth, the way out OF which could
be found by no one who did not possess
the cue of Ariadne.
The slopes by which we assembled were
smooth and wide, better than some high
roads traversed all day long by passen-
gers. Frequently we came upon enor-
nous heaps Of cannon balls stored in case
OF need, or we found an embrasurc in the
living rock through which gun was
pointed as though ready to begin work
on the spot. surrounded by all the neces-
sary ammunition.
Sometimes the darkness was SO dense
that scarcely dared move my feet for
fear of falling over one or other Of those
iron monsters. and on more than one &C.
casion was forced to strike match to
find my way through those gloomy cav
erns, while found myself nearly always
tagging behind my guide, who, knowing
the way and being more active on his
legs, kept ahead until lie reached the
next loophole, when he waited for me.
At last we reached q spot where the
passage was barred by thick timbers, and
where my guide told me we could go no
farther, as this was the reserve part Of
| the fortress where excavations are still
being made to continue the enormous
trench.
! This place, he said, was closed to all
outsiders; and even the officers Of the
English army not on duty at the works
are scarcely allowed to see 1t. l had,
therefore, to resign myself to forego the
sight OF the greatest part OF that myster-
ious cavern, and approached the nearest
loophole--the highest We had yet passed
to admire the delicious view and
breathe the fresh air to which 1t gave ac-
cess
| From the cursory examination which,
considering the precautions necessary
there, vas all was able to make OF the
immense fortress, gathered that 1t was
an impregnable position, which, brlst-
ling with cannon and pierced with loop
holes looking toward every direction
from which an enemy could oonceivably
como. makes it simply impossible for an
army to take it by force. To get posses

the least of it rendered the expediency
of such task of doubtful propriety.
Chairman Waddill, however ulti-

wing took exceptions and, amid confu-
sion and turmoil, left the hall. agree

delegates to the State convention at

A correspondent of the News and

Governor Holt for Governor, and
Hon. J. c. Buxton, of this city, for
Lieutenant Governor. The writer
says of Mr.. Buxton:
''The best evidence of mans fit

standard, Mr.. Buxton stands, sans

home, amcng whom he has dealt,
and by whom he is best known.
GAS a business man, he has no su

well worth considering in any ques-

is safe one to do other peoples

own.' Such is the case with Mr..

CLEVELAND IS FAVORTTE.
Public Sentiment Veering Round te

Public Sentiment Veering Round to
the Ex-President.
Special Telegram to The Philadelphia Times.l
WASHINGTON, March 2S.-One of
the most remarkable changes in pol
itical sentiment among public men
in Washington is that noticed in con
nection with the chances of the Dem
ocratic nominal alton for the Presiden
cy. When the Democratic national
committee met here a couple of
months ago everything pointed to
the nomination of Mr.. Hill if New
York was to be allowed to nominate
the candidate. The Hill sentiment
was manifest on all sides and almost
without exception. The fri of
Mr. Cleveland expressed the Jelief
that his nomination was out of the
question.
At that time Senator's Brice, of
Ohio, and German, of Maryland,
were looked upon as the closest Of
Hills friends and as responsible for
the boom in his behalf which was
everywhere manifest. Since then,
however, and especially within tie
past two or three weeks, there has
been a decided cooling off noticed in
the attitudes of Messrs. German and
Brice towards the New York Sena-
tor, and the change of heart in con-
nection with the two leading advo-
Gates for Hill has been followed by
turn of the tide towards Cleveland.
CLEVELAND WILL BE NOMINATED.
Four weeks ago the party leaders
here scoffed at the idea that it would
be possible to bring the eX-President
forward as a candidate il. the Chica-
go Convention without the support
of New York. Today, owing prob
ably to the widespread Cleveland
sentiment which has manifested it.
self in all sections of the country,
the talk is for Cleveland and Cleve-
land alone. 1t is the growing belief
among political men on the Demo
cratic side that Mr.. Cleveland will be
nominated in spite of the efforts of
Mr.. Hill and in spite of the success of
the midwinter convention is consid-
cred regular or not by the gathering
at Chicago.
DuU uneFe SeeIIS 10 DE Il u1SpOSiUiOH
here to believe that Mr.. Cleveland's
supporters will be recruited from the
ranks of Tammany to considerable
degree, and the fact that Mr.. Hill is
credited with having turned the
vote of Rockwell, of the Elmira dis
trict, to the free silverites last Thurs
day, has already had the effect of
bringing to Mr.. Cleveland's support
several Democratic members of the
House who had not been regarded
heretofore as strong Cleveland men.
