AT THE CAPITAL.

Politics Reigns Suprcme-H0w Blaine
and Harrison Pass the Time.
WASHINGTON, June 6.-Politics reigned
supreme at the capital today. Every
body sought the latest news from Min
neapolis, and every bulletin was seized
with avidity, and discussed and twisted
to suit the views Of the readers. On the
house side the political situation occu-
pied the attention of everybody. As
far as ascertained little betting is going
on; the adherents Of the several favor
ties, although sure of the nomination of
their respective men, are not willing to
back their opinion.
4 UNCLE JERRY Is NOT IN IT.
Secretary Rusk said to an Associated
Press reporter, in regard to the state
ment that an effort was being made to
induce him to allow the use of his name
for second place on the ticket, that there
is no truth in the statement whatever.
My name cannot be used either singly
or in combination against the president.
No friends of mine will suggest such use. y
r BENNIH GOES ABOUT HIS BUSINESS.
~ 8he president attended to business as
usual today. Secretary Rusk, who Wis.
tied him, said he seemed to be in ex.
cellent spirits and betrayed no concern
as to the result of the convention. Ar
rangements have been made to receive
all the convention news promptly at the
White House. Additional telegraphic
facilities have been provided. The
president is doing very little telegraph
ing today.
HE GOES TO THE BALL GAME.
The president and Secretaries Foster
and Rusk attended the Cincinnati.
Washington baseball match this after.
noon, and enjoyed it very much.
The president seems awaiting the re-
suit of the convention with equanimity,
and has not made the least change in
his usual official routine. The telegraph
office on the upper floor was open for
several hours and a number of tele.
grams we're received from friends in
Minneapolis.
Mrs. Harrison was very comfortable
today and able to sit up for half an hour.
BLAINE KEEPS OUT OF SIGHT.
Blaine remained at home most of the
day and was inaccessible to all callers
except his most intimate friends.

CALIFORNIA DIVIDED.

Hon. II. +. Spence StubbornIy Holds
for Harrison.
MINNEAPOLIS, June GA lively meet
ing OF the California delegation was held
today. The Blaine men, though in a
large majority, refrained from taking a
vote. Senator FELTON, made strong
Blaine speech.
Delegate:K Knight urged that the delega-
ton, it acting as unit, would be OF i'm
portance in the convention, being the
nrst OF the western or northern states
on roll call. The effect of their vote
might mean much, and they should
come to some agreement to cast the vote
OF the state solidly for some candidate,
and he believed he voiced the senti-
ments OF nine. tenths of the Republicans
ni California when he advised voting for
Hon. E. F. Spence answered knight,
and asserted that the resolutions passed
at the state convention were tantamount
TO instructions Tor Harrison, and the
delegation would have been solid if
blaine's name had not been thrust be-
lore the convention.
N. d. De. Young expressed surprise
at Spence's remarks. He said the state
convention distinctly understood that
the delegates were to act on their best
Judgment, and had at no time expressed
directly or indirectly preference for
Harrison. In 1883 California had been
promised cabinet position and other
important things. Nevertheless Harri-
son had not only not given California q
cabinet place, but had not appointed a
single Californian to a prominent posi-

the convention, and this, as q test vote,
shows that the Blaine men control the
committee, and thus the Blaineites have
secured great advantage.
Governor Mckinley will undoubtedly
be made permanent chairman OF the
convention, as he is acceptable to both
factions.
MORE BLAINE VICTORIES.
When the louisiana contest was heard,
ex-senator William Pitt Kellogg and
Ex-Governor Yarmouth headed the
respective forces. Kellogg, who appears
as the regular delegate, prevailed before
the subcommittee, beating Yarmouth
who led the contesting delegation, in
every district except the sixth, where
the subcommittee split the two votes
beween the factions. This is Blaine
victory. The LILLY Whites from
Texas, the committee decided, will be
admitted.
The results OF the contests as whole
are favorable to Blame.
At midnight the full committee rati-
fed the action of the sub-committeee in
the contested election cases. It iss pre-
dicted that the action of the sub-con1-
mittees in the other cases will be rati-
fed.
The Blaine managers are hilarious to-
night, and maintain that there is
serious break in the southern delegation
and that they are preparing to swing in
line for Blaine.
FORAKER TO NOMINATE BLAINE.
Ex-Governor Foraker has been select
ed to nominate Blaine, and he is now
preparing his speech.
Ex-Speaker Reed of Maine arrived
this afternoon in company with Repro.
fr;end " Harson h VINO Htt s;,0Is 1o5Rins or
political information, but is not willing
to give out any himself.
Los Angeles herald., 1892-06-07

Governor Foraker at their head. A
great crowd was assembled at the hotel.
The Harrison men endeavored to make
counter-demonstration, but were
pushed to the wall. Foraker made a
speech predicting the nomination OF
Blaine, but declaring if Harrison was
nominated the club would give him
loyal support.
SILVER STATES LINING UP.
The initial step in q general move
ment to bring the Pacific coast and silver
states into line to act as unit for the
promotion of their interests in the con.
vention jssas taken this afternoon by the
CAS- mia delegation. A resolution was
.&aSpySed in executive session by the CAL
itorhians, by inviting the delegates of
the states in question to a conference in
the California headquarters at A d. m.
Prior to this there had been much in
terviewing between individual delegates
in which Senators Teller and Wolcott of
Colorado had taken prominent part.
] The states invited to the conference
by the Californians, are: Arizona, Col
orado, Nevada, Oregon, Washington,
Utah, Wyoming and Montana.
UTAH CONTEST SETTLED.
The Utah contest was decided this
afternoon by the national committee, in
favor of the regulars and against what
is known az the Salt Lake Tribune wing.
This gives Blaine two votes.
The national committee adjourned
till evening without taking up the tenn
porary chairmanship.
ESTIMATES OF THE VOTES.
The friends of Harrison refuse to dis
close their strength in detail, but claim
b4l votes. This includes nearly half of
the Ohio delegation.
4 The following is considered the most
conservative estimate yet made: Harri-
SON, 476; Blaine, All.
Another conservative estimate tonight
on the result Of the convention, gives
Blaine 459, Harrison Alb, Alger 2S del

As we become acquainted with our earth
and by travelling gain some practical idea
of distance, it is easy to grasp its $4,000
miles of circumference We know, there
fore, that its diameter is one-third of that
amount But when we consider the great
solar sphere from which we derive our heat
and light and grasp the fact BY computs-
tion, that we are considering . sphere hav-
ing diameter of SIG, 900 miles, the mind,
accustomed to gauge from its diminutivs
earth standard, becomes bewildered in the
endeayor to comprehend circumference Of
so much greater immensity. Our globe be-
comes almost speck by such . comparison.
Yet the star Arcturus, which Is Q sun for

system to which ours is only an infant, 10

It seems to strain the mind to attempt to
conceive of such q sphere, whose distance

think of its age, of the cons Of time that

THE ART OF FORGETTING.

Hamlin Garland, the Western Author,
Draws a Clever Little Sketch.
They Law on the cliff where the warm sun
fell Beneath them were rocks, lichen
spotted above and orange and russet and
pink beneath.
Around the headland the ocean ravened
with roaring breath. 1t flung itself cease
lessly on the'land, only to fall back with
clutching snarl over the pebbles
The smell of hot cedars was in the air.
The distant ships drove by with huge sails
bellying Occasional crickets chIrped
family. Sandpipers SKINNED the beach.
The man and woman were both gray.
He lay staring at the sky. She sat with
sombre eyes fixed on the distant sea, whose
crawling lines glittered on its purple sweep.
They were man and wife; both were older
than their years. They were Tar past the
land of youth and love.
90 wife" he cried, '1et VI forget that we
are old; let MS forget that We are disillu-
stoned of life; let US try to be boy and
girl again"
The woman shivered with powerful,
vague emotion, but she did not look at him.
20, Esther, I'm tired of lifeP' the man
went on. "I'm tired ofmy children. I'm
tired of you. Do you know what mean?"
The woman looked into his eyes mo-
ment, and said in low voice:
"No, CharleA" But the man knew that
she meant yes The touch of her hand
grew cold.
'I'm tired Of it all want to feel again
the wonder and mystery of life. It's all
gone The love we have now is good and
sweet and true; that of the old time was
sweeter. It was SO marvellous 1 trem-
bled when I kissed you, dear. don't now.
It had more of truth, of pure, unconscious
passion, and less of habit o teach me to
forgetr'
He crept nearer to her, and laid his head
in her lap. His face was knotted with his
passion and pain.
The wife and mother sighed, and looked
down at his hair, which was getting gray.
"Well, Charliep' she said, and buried her
fingers in his hair. 'T'n try to forget for
your sake.
He could not understand her. He did not
try. He lay with closed eyes, tired, pur-
poseless. The sweet sea wind touched his
cheek, white with the indoor pallor of the
desk worker. The sound OF the sea exalted
him. The beautiful clouds above him car
ried him back to bovhood. There were tears
on. his face as he looked up at her.
"I'm torgettingl' he said, with smile Of
exultation.
But the woman looked away at the viol ct
shadowed sails, afar on the chang eful purple
of the sea, and her throat choked with pain.

and many others, left Washington for Mt.
Vernon to see the vessels machinery and try

pounds. On the return trip, shortly after
4 O'Clock in the afternoon, final shot was
fred from one of the guns The party
stood at the left of the gun; President

the vessel Just before the gun, was hred.
The gun burst OH the left side, throwing q
large part of its metal into the midst OF the
group of spectators, killing Secretaries
Upsher, and Gilmer, Commodore hennon,
Mr.. Gardiner, Mr.. Maxey, two seamen and
President Tyler's valet. Mr.. Benton had
the drum of his left ear burst; and many
other persons were injured more or less
severely.
Are there more men in the world than
women2 INTERESTED.
Over the whole world the proportion of
the sexes is about equal; but in separate
parts of the world it varies greatly. For
instance, in this country there are SO
women to every 100 men; in Europe there
are rather more than 100 women to 100 men.
Canada has 95 women to 100 men. In un-
civilized countries the men are believed
largely to outnumber the women, this on
account of the fact that more men are
needed to carry on the wars in which such
people are constantly engaged, and because
of the rougher ways Of living. But so long
as there can be no census of Africa and
Asia, SO long statisticians can only guess at
the proportion of the two sexes.
Who was Colonel Bowie, and tor what was
he famousf H. W. ID.
Colonel James Bowie was a Georgian,
born about 1890. When quite young his
parents removed to Natchez, Miss, where
he grew up. He was a second in duel
fought across the Mississippi from Natchez,
and in fight which followed the duel,
drew a peculiar knife which he used with
deadly effect. The knife was an ordinary
blacksmith's rasp, sharpened and set in
handle. After the duel he sent the knife to
q Philadelphia cutler, who shaped 1t for
him and made other knives like it. Bowie
Joined Crockett in the war for Texan inde-
pendence, and was at the Alamo when 1t
fell; he was included in the massacre OF the
prisoners March 6, 1886.

A strong solution Of common salt, or
strong solution of borax, will mako cloth
or wood incombustible; so will a solution
of silicate of soda The solution, to be ap-

of thick syrup of the silicate to three parts
of water; and as much as the wood will
absorb should be applied. Then lime

LEAD AND RUBBER ARE SCARCE.
A New Material Has Been Made, Superior

a new maIor1a1 mas Docu ua00p Supc1lOT
to the Original Article.
Comment has been made thousands of
times on the fact that there is no lead in a
lead pencil, and, if possible. less in the
useful household preparation known as
black lead. In few years it may be posi-
BILE to add that there is no rubber in India
rubber, says q writer in the ST. Louis Globe
Democrat.
The imperative necessity of finding some
substitute to make up for the inevitable
scarcity, if not failure, OF the original ar
tiele has long been recognized, and it really
seems as though the. difficulty had been
solved at last The imitation consists Of
manita gum, resin oil and one or two other
ingredients bearing as little resemblance to
rubber, but forming, in combination, sub
stance equal to the best rubber and much
superior to the original article.
The substitute is very elastic and pliable,
and can be produced at less cost than the
average quality of pure rubber As, more
over, it will require less adulteration with
lead, zinc or similar material, 1t will be
safer and better to use in many wayL-
