WILL BE NO INTERFERENCE

The Anti-Snappers. as such, Have Finished
Their Work and Are Now With the
Straight Democratic Organization.
New YORK, August 9.-The Herald
SAYS the "anti-snappers," through ex-
Mayor Wm. R. Grace, have promised
Mr.. Cleveland that they will not favor,
aid. or abet any movement In opposition
to Tammany Hall in this campaign.
Mr.. Cleveland, when he went back to
GRAY Gables after the notification dem
onstration, in Madison Square Garden,
carried the foregoing pledge with him.
He saw Mr.. Grace on Friday, the
day he started for Buzzard Bay, and
told him that the constant agitation OF
the question Of an Independent or anti
Tammauy ticket was disturbing the
harmony Of the party, not only in New
York State, but all over the country,
and was making the outlook doubtful.
Mr.. Grace then told Mr.. Cleveland that
there would be no Interference with
Tammany. The question of the anti
snapper tigureing as a disturbing ele-
ment, therefore, is believed by Demo
Gratis TO be absolutely settled.

Line Discovered In Time.
PARIS, Ten, August 9.-As the out

preached Winston tunnel on the Frisco
road last night it was tagged by the
tunnel watchman, who said that ten or
twelve armed men had visited a resi-
dence near there aud made very partic-
ular inquiries concerning the train.
The conductor went to Winston
station, and as the train started
back three armed men, who got
aboard at Winston, jumped
off and disappeared in the thick fog.
The superintendent at Fort Smith was
notified and a strong force OF deputy
marShalS went down and guarded the
train through. When the train first left
Winston Station a shot was fired on the
mountain side nearby. This was
quickly repeated near the tunnel and it
is supposed that it was signal for the
gang at the west end, that the train was

spsctGl TsSsOrdus 20 ths Rs1i5tsr

TERRA ALTA, w. VA, August 9.-The
Republican Congressional Convention
which meets here tomorrow is attracting
but very little attention, and it is very safe
TO predict that the fluid Republicanism will
not flow as freely as il did at Huntington.
The leaders are in dilemma tonight as to
whom they should nominate TO oppose Mr..
Wilson. Their cry is, Anything TO beat
Wilson"
The question 70 be decided tonight BY
the leaders is whether they shall nominate
+. Nelson Wisner, Of Martinsburg, or in
dOrse Colonel y. w Fitzgerald, the Peo-
ple's Party candidate for Congress. Terra
Alta is the home Of Colonel Fitzgerald,
and there is strong sentiment
being worked up in favor of him,
While the eastern pan handle contingent
is strongly in favor of Wisner. If it can
be shown that Fitzgerald can command
the support Of the Republican party ne
will be indorsed; but at this hour the Wis
ner men are bitterly opposing Fitzgerald,
and il can be set down as certainty that
Wisner will receive the nomination To-
morrow.

SHOOTING AT lCEBERGS
An Expensive Amusement Proposed for
the New American Navy.

1t has been suggested that the men
employed in the destruction OF the ice
bergs of the north Atlantic According
TO this plan the bergs are to be bonn
barded with great shells, which, pene-
trating deep into the great leo and ex-
ploding there, will shatter them to
pieces There Is no doubt that this
would be a far more profitable ex-
penditure of ammunition than the uses
for which il is designed. says Scrib-
ner's Magazine. for any target is better
than the dear bought frame of man or
the products of his skill of hand and
mind. but il Is more than doubtful il
the end could be obtained in this way.
In the first place, TO accomplish the
desired result it would be necessary
for the men of war to watch the exit OF
BafIin's bay in the springtirne, and
small bits, SO that they would no
longer float with their bases in the
deep southwark setting current, but,
would drift with the foe ice. To do
this with several hundred great masses,
averaging probably at least one thou
sand feet in cube, would require an
enormous expenditure of money. In
Guiding the wear and tear of guns, the
shells from the great modern ordnance
cannot be fired at less cost than five
hundred dollars for each shell, and it
would probably require many hundred
rounds Of ammunition to break up a
single berg. II would not at all serve
the purpose 10 rend the ice to pieces in
the midatlantic district, for there the
fragments would float about and
multiply the dangers OF navigation.
Such work, il done, would make that
region nearly impossible for portion
of the year. though from the reader
melting of therce the trouble would not
endure so long. On the whole this in
teresting project does not seem prac-
ticahle-
