CLEVELAND IN NEW YORK.

New YORK, May BE. Ellery Ander-
! son, president of the Reform club and a
member of the Democratic provisional
state committee (anti-Hill), takes eXcep-
tion to the statement of Colonel Watterscn
| that the nomination of either Cleveland or
Hill at Chicago would be suicidal. 1.-The
assertion made by Colonel Watterson that
Mr.. Cleveland is not one vote stronger in
New York than he was in 1888 calls for
comment" said the president of the Re
form club today. "On what does he base
his assertion? He has not been IN the
midst of our people, engaged in addressing
them or in active correspondence with the
electors of the state, and his assertion at
best is a random guess based on informa-
tion derived from miscellaneous cores
pondence.
"We who are in the midst of the politi
cal movement in this state know that Mr..
Cleveland is vastly stronger than he was
in 1883. We know that since that time
the people of this state have been awak-
ened to correct understanding of the op-
pressve effects of the tariff. We know
that many Republican voters have been
driven out of their party by their disap-
proval of the McKinlay bill and we know
that the threat OF the passage of the force
bill has determined large num-
OF independent votes 10 act with the Demo-
cratic party if it's nomination meets with
their approval. The classes of voters whom
refer TO will reach $4,000 in this state.
This assertion is not guess, but Is based
on the personal experience of those who
are active in our movement, and Is de-
rived from their constant Intercourse with
the voters themselves and from an enor-
nous correspondence carried on for many
months with voters residing in every
county OF the state"

An American Oak at St. Petersburg.

Ah american YAK at st. petersburg.
When Mr.. Dallas, afterward vice presi-
dent, was in St. Petersburg as American
minister, he was one day visited by tall,
awkward Yankee, who, being requested to
state his business, immediately said that
he wanted to see the emperor He was
assured that obtaining an interview with
the emperor was no easy task, but not be
ing disposed to take refusal, ne was re-
quested to leave his name and return in
about fortnight, when his application
would probably be considered and deter
mined. A week or two later the American
minister was surprised by visit from the
tall Yankee, and beginning to assure his
visitor that an interview with the emperor
could not be obtained the Yankee respond
ed that he had already seen the emperor
and had just called in at the embassy for
the purpose of saying goodby, as he was on
his way home.
Mr.. Dallas was dumfounded and in
quired into the particulars, when he found
that the man had, by sheer force of brass,
succeeded in passing the guards at the pal
ace and seeing the emperor. II gave him
a present too" What was itY' inquired
Mr.. Dallas. "An acorn from Mount Yer
non from tree that grew over Washing
toms tomb. The emperor planted it in the
garden with his own hands 1 followed
him out and saw him plant it,"
Strange as the story was it was true.
and the oak now growing in the imperial
gardens at st. Petersburg sprung from the
acorn carried thither as present to the
emperor by the long, awkward American
Interview in ST. Louis Globe-Democrat

MEDICAL TESTIMONY.

w. Thornton Parker, NJ. D., Recorder,
Association of Acting Assistant Surgeons
of the L. S. Army, writes:
''SALEM. Mass, March %, 1891.
"When at Stuttgart. Germany, during
the winter of 18S1-62 l was suffering from
q severe attack of bronchitis, which seemed
to threaten pneumonia. l met. at the
Hotel Marquardt, Commander Beardslee,
of the United States navy. In speaking OF
my sickness, he remarked: Doctor, you
can cure that chest trouble of yours by
using an ALLCOCK'S Porous PLASTER
That may be true, / answered, but where
can | get the plasterY Anywhere in the
civilized world, and surely here in Stutt-
CART. Whenever / have cold, | always
use one and find relief / sent TO the drug
store for the plaster, and it did all that my
friend had promised. Ever since then
have used it whenever suffering from
cold, and l have many times prescribed it
for patients.
"Allcock's plaster is the best to be had,
and has saved many from severe illness,
and undoubtedly, if used promptly, will
save many valuable lives. Whenever one
has a severe cold they should put on an
Allcock's plaster as soon as possible. 1t
should be placed across the chest, the
upper margin just below the neck; some
hot beef tea, or milk, will aid in the treat
ment.
This is not patent remedy in the
Objectionable sense of that term, but a
standard preparation of value. The gov
ernment supplies for the United States
army and Indian hospital stores contain
Allcock's plasters, and the medical profess
sion throughout the world are well aware
of their reliability and excellence. / shall
always recommend it, not only to break
up colds, but as usful in allaying pains in
the chest and back. 1t is preparation
worthy of general cOnfideQceD

VENEZlJEI AN lOTJERS

NEW YORK, May 13.-The Herald's Vene-
zuela correspondent cables from Valencia
that two more attempts have been made
to blow up the government buildings in
Caracas with dynamite, One attempt was
made at the federal palace, but the bomb
was discovered before it exploded. The
other attempt was made at the military
headquarters, and it was nearly successful
A homb was exploded close to the build
ing, partially wrecking it. 1t was filed
with federal troops at the time, but no one
WIS killed, though several persons were
injured. These frequent explosions have
induced the government TO put extra
guards on duty, aud take every precaution
TO prevent their further occurrence. Gen

BRITISH POlIICS

LONDON. May 13.-Mr. Belfour will meet
the Conservative election agents on May
81, when a definite indication will be
given of the date of the general election
In the meantime election agents swarm in
the lobbies of the commons, pestering the
ministers, whips and members to expedite
the dissolution. \ memorial to the gov
eminent was brought up by the Tory cleo.
tion agents, urging that parliament be dis
solved in the middle of June, fell fiat.
Only half a dozen members Of the house
signed it. The whips hiuted that the ap-
peal was superfluous and might embar-
rass the government. which WAS already
favorable to X midsummer election.
The cabinet decision when it is an
nounced will find the parties all round
fully prepared and everything in readiness
The crown office will despatch the election
writs within twenty-four hours after the
intimation of dissolution is given. The
officers in charge of private bills before the
commons have been Instructed 10 wind up
their business as far as possible by June ~
Reasoning from this fact, the Liberals
forecast events thus: The writ viii be
issued on June 2S. Two weeks later the
burg elections Will be completed, and
within three weeks the county elections
According to the statutes the new parlla-
ment must assemble within thirty-five
days of the dissolution of the preceding
one. So the first week in August if the
general expectation is fulfilled, will see
Gladstone reinstated in power.
The Irish party take IL for granted that
the special session TO be held in November
will proceed with the nome rule question
Probably Gladstone will not be in such n
hurry. He has privately expressed the
opinion that the home rule movement in
1886 suffered from haste III its preparation
and. has declared that he will Rot make a
similar mistake

The elder Dumas used to begin work by
taking off his coat. He would then roll
his shirt sleeves up to the elbows and
would seat himself at his writing table,
covering with dizzy velocity sheet after
sheet of blue office paper with the delicate
caligraphy, legible as copperplate and fine
as that of a fashionable lady, which had
proved his first bread winner in his early
days.
His son also uses blue glazed paper of
the largest size, and always writes with a
