The Convention.

As was expected, the State Conven-

ware was not only an harmonious one,
but it was enthusiastic. The thrill Of

offence to or alienate any portion OF
the party. The gentlemen selected rs
delegates to the National Convention

DIR. HAMMETT's OPINION.

He Thinks the Schools Cannot Open Be-
fore Monday Next.
Health Officer Hammett is of the opinion
that it viii be impossible to open the public
schools of the District before next Monday.
He stated to q reporter of The STAR this
morning that he had ordered a large quantity
OF sulphur candles with which to fumigate the
school premises and expected them
Saturday, but owing to the freight
blockade they had not yet arrived. He bad,
however, directed that they should be sent BIZ
express, and expected to receive them this
afternoon. He said his force had examined
but few of the school houses, and had
found them in no unusually bad condition
The floors. he said, would be thoroughly cleansed
with fumigating fluids, the sulphur candles
burned throughout the premises and every.
thing needful done.
.'Of course" explained DR.. Hammett. ''the
buildings need a thorough cleaning. but there
Is no necessity for parents to feel alarmed be-
last week by such a large number of strangers
''No sickness of an alarming or contagious
nature was reported among those who occupied
the buildings. and the only bad results
which followed their occupany were
those which would follow their occupancy bv
large number of people. however cleanly and
healthy the occupants might be.
The rest of the city we are busily engaged
in placing in its former cleanly condition. and.
as far as the health department is concerned.

signiicance7ihat is, in a sanitary point of

PRAISE FROM GEN. PALMER.
He Expresses Appreciation for the Work O
the Citizens and of sThe STAR,

He AApresses appreciation for the work OF
the Citizens and of "The star"
Gen. John Palmer of Albany, late COM
mander-in-chief of the Grand Army Of the
Republic, is in Washington today, there being
considerable business for him to attend TO here
in winding up the affairs of bis most successful
administration
In speaking to a STAR reporter he said that
he could not speak too strongly in expressing
his gratitude and appreciation of the hos
pitality of the citizens here. and especially
of the work done by THE STAR
"THE STAR" he said. made most wonderful
and interesting record of the encampment.
No better paper was ever produced or could
have been produced for the occasion. 1t not
only covered everything of interest connected
with the encampment but brought up again
In n most tlmely way history which most of the
boys had forgotten and were glad to read
over again.
The STAR" Gen. Palmer continued, "will
be laid away and treasured as a most valuable
and interesting record. Its work was unsur-
PASSED.
Speaking of the parade Gen. Palmer said that
1t exceeded even his expectations, as he had
estimated for 81. 900 men and at the lowest esti-
mate there were 20, 600 men in line. He was
somewhat gratitied, because he believed the
event had proved the wisdom Of his double
column" formation, over which he had some
controversy with the committee on parade, the
cnl thing that happened in all the prepara-
tions which showed the slightest lack Of har-
mony. The parade committee. he said had
made most admirable arrangements and their
work contributed greatly to the success of the
affair. His comrades, he said. had nothing but
praise for the city of Washington and its citi-
Zens. except in q few isolated cases of comrades
who came here under the impression that the
city would furnish them not only with free
quarters, but with free meals, and were disap-
pointed.

A Quarantine COnfrnYersY.

The conflict of authority at Detroit between
tween the state health board on one side and
the city health officers and United States
inspectors on the other in regard
to the quarantine of suspected i'm
migrants from Canada has been brought
to the attention Of the Treasury De-
partment by the collector of customs at De-
troit. He sent o telegram to Assistant Secre-
tary Spaulding saying that the state board
enjoined a twenty days quarantine in cases Of
immigrants from infected ports entering by
way Of Canada and that the city health
authorities were passing all immigrants hold
ing aCanadian health certificate. The collector
asked which he should recognize. Assistant
Secretary Spaulding said the department would
not interfere at this time, but ex-
pressed the hope that the authorities would
reconcile their differences and work in har-
mony. Surgeon General Wyman Of the marine
hospital service is in correspondence with the
health officer at Detroit, with view to securing
unity Of action.

He viii Work for the Success of the Demo
cratic Party.

cratic Party.
People who have been counting on revolts by
prominent men in either party are beginning
TO realize how vain is such hope. Mr. Hill
has settled the question of working for the
party which he has so often proclaimed himself
loyal to as Quay, Dudley and Platt settled the
question OF their attitude toward the republican
party during the campaign
II is clear enough that whatever disloyalty
there may be in either party it will not appear
among men as prominent as these and as de-
pendent as they are upon their parties for their
future.
The simple fact is that these men are bound
to work for their respective parties or retire
from politics. There is no doubt that
Mr. Hill is still extremely sore and
believes that q great injustice has been
done him If Mr.. Cleveland could be
defeated without hurting the party such re-
suit would give Mr.. Hill joy But Mr.. Hills
friends have pointed out to him. and he prob
ably saw for himself, Independently Of any
suggestion, that the defeat of Mr. Cleveland
should he be defeated. would be charged to
Hill and his friends, and that therefore no one
was more interested in the success of the ticket
In New York than Hill himself.
IL has been known to men here all along that
Hill would come out and make Just such speeches
as those made in Brooklyn and Buffalo. though
shortly after the nomination of Cleveland he
was not disposed to take any part whatever in
the campaign. 1t is regarded as perfectly safe
to rely on his doing everything he can for the
success Of the ticket, but personal
reconciliation between him and Cleveland is
not expected. Mr.. Hill prefers to have it
understood that his work is for the party, and
that party interests outweigh all else in his
mind.
Representative Cummings, when he was here
day or two ago, said that Hill would work
win the state committee and independently.
but would not take orders from the national
committee: that he would do all he could FOR
the success of the party ticket, but do it in his
own way. and that his personal and political
friends would be loyal to the party at all times

ONLY A PAPER RERELLIoN.
Was Garra's Uprising a Fake" in the In
terest of Mexican specuiator-s


NEW ORLEANS. Sept 26--A letter from
Mexico City to the Picdyune makes the fol-
lowing disclosures about the recent troubles on
the border. An American capitalist is the Au-
thority for the statement:
Now that the whole affair has become ancient
history, will tell VOC tha, the only ecvolution
there was occurred in the columns Of the news
papers. OF course Cara existed and was at
the head of a small body OF men. which
he kept moving up and down the
river, making display. hut
never Offering attack on any military post.
Neither did he pillage or steal. He paid for all
he got. see you all appear to be incredulOus.
III you viii just 60 back in memory
you will remember that some time
back the Mexican government foatcd
some ss2,000.00o in bonds in Germany.
Now big syndicate. among the number two
Americans, saw big money in this, 80 they set
about TO depreciate the bonds. A revolution
was the surest thing 60 bring about
the desired effect SO one was started.
Cara sent for and uegotia-
tions were entered into with him. He was just
the man for the undertaking He had al eS-
tended acquaintance along the border spoke
English and Spanish, was something Of
orator. possessed daring and was ever ready for
adventure.
Well, Cara was supplied with money and set
to work. First he started a small newspaper,
IN the Columns OF which he arralgncd Diaz, and
particularly his financial policy. When
the fruit was ripe he laid
down the pen and buckled on
the sword. Apparent alarm was created all
through the republic. The syndicate's agents
in New York and San Francisco immediately
rushed into print Correspondents were
asked TO write up the revolution and
glance over their reports show that
they never gave an accoun. II a single engage
ment. Troops we're massed on beth sides of
the Rio Grande and big flourish Of trumpets
was made. All the newspapers fairly teemed
with accounts of the revolution.
And all this time Diaz and his syndicate were
snickering in their sleeves. The bait they had
thrown out was quickly swallowed The parties
who held the bonds were seized with alarm and
flooded the market with them. Diaz and his
partners made several millions by the deal
OF course they paid all Garzas expenses, which
amounted to but little.

SUNDAY on THE ELECTRIC RAILWAY.
The new electric railway, besides its business
aspect, has become the never-failing source
of pleasure to that portion Of Aieran-
drians who have leisure, and a holiday
resort for all classes of people. On yesterday
the throng Of Alexandrians which usually goes
to Washington on Sundays was very greatly di-
minished, as very many of the excursionists
took their trip on the electric railway in
stead Of the steamers steam railways.

on Sunday, but make their Sabbath day termi-
nus at Little Hunting Greek, some miles from
from the Washington railroad depot at the
west end Of the town to the WASH

Alexandrians in the use of the electric railway,
and the cars were crowded until q late hour.

Representative Richardson OF Tennessee said
to u STAR reporter today that he had no uneasi-

ticket in Tennessee. There was some trouble
about the local ticket, but he did not think
the democrats could be beaten on tina
either. In fact. he said, the news was
getting more and more favorable each
day. As to the general situation he
said that he was perfectly confident of Cleve-
lands election. The news he got privately
from New York, he said, indicated that
Cleveland would surely carry that state. The
action Of Mr.. Hill he pronounced honorable
and worthy Of high commendation. 'His
speech will be Of great benefit to the party" he
said. There never sany grounds for doubling
that he would do the right thing. He is a
democrat and 10 manly and has given no one
any right to suspect his loyalty. He is going to
do his best in helping to elect Cleveland"
