The Worlds Washington dispatch:
81 do not believe that individual dis
appointments will control the conven-
ton at Minneapolis" The speaker
was President Harrison, and he adj
dressed his remark to correspond
ent of the World this evening. The
President never appeared in better
physical health than when seated in
his cool, pleasant cabinet at the White
House. He expressed his feelings as
regards the coming gathering of Re-
publican delegates to make a nomi-
nation for the Presidency.

De Lamar and Russell got ac-
! quainted when the latter was in the
mint at Helena. DE Lamar had not
made his ''tenstrke" at that time, but
both were glad to renew their ac-
quaintance when Russell's father got
into the white house and De Lamar
made his millions. But Russell uu-
dertook to take Pc Lamar into the
social swim, and he has done it. True,
it has cost De Lamar an immense sum
of money, but he seems to enjoy it,
as do good many other people. The
fact is, there is hardly waiter or
porter about the Arlington that is not
the richer by reason of De Lamar liv.

in the dining room and gave him a
$40 bill for doing it.
De Lamar has history that reads
like that Of Monte Cristo. He is an
Alsatian by birth. His father was a
mechanic and poor. AT fourteen
young De Lamar shipped before the
mast of u trading vessel to Africa.
When he reached Africa a love Of ad-
venture led him to desert and strike
for the interior Of the country. He
engaged in trading with the natives
and made considerable money. On
the return voyage the vessel on which
he originally shipped went to pieces
on an island not far from the main
land. De Lamar bought the wreck
and made good bit Of money out of
the cargo he raised. He then came
to the United States and, going west,
engaged in mining. He was very
successful and ia less than year it
so increased his African capital that
he started for New York with $780,
900 to his credit. But the same spr-
it OF speculation that made him mon
ey in Africa and the west was his ru-
in IN Wall street. He got to fooling
with the bulls and bears, aud in less
than three months De Lamar turned
his face westward again absolutely
without dollar. That was only ten
years ago, and yet the wonderful luck
of this man has been such that he
went west again, got hold of stake,
invested it in a silver mine, and to-
day is worth not less than $3,000,000.
time, but is blowing himself in Wash
ington at q rapid pace. He is a
bachelor, man of good address and
very interesting talker. But the
fact that he has spent SO much money
has made him to be regarded as some
one for everybody to impose upon.

Slavin, as he lay helpless and disfg-
