A few days ago heard a young Englishman
who had spent most Of his life in travel. asked
what he thought was the most interesting thing
by Murillo in the gallery at Seville" 1t was an
unexpected answer, but very many will agree
with him, for the walls Of that vault-ike build
ing are hung in row twenty-four of the finest
examples Of the Spanish master. The most
pleasing of his pictures in some ways, however,
!: the never copied or photographed "Concep-
ton" that hangs in the "Sala Capitular'' Of the
great cathedral, that huge building that some
look upon as the finest in the world or as second
only to the cathedral at Rome. More of Murillo's
works are in the magnificent gallery here in
Madrid and as an artist he gets from
the people of Spain the honor that
is his due. Numerous statues have been raised
to his memory. but the body of the man him
self is buried in the wall of the small vestibule
leading into the house in which he died The
house Is in an old and shabby quarter Of
Seville. and there is nothing to mark the place
beyond brief line on the wall of the house
and a simple marble slab set into the side of the
the inscription to the effect that that was the
house where he died and the spot where he lies
buried. The place, curiously enough. is not
pointed out as a rule TO visitors and il but
rarely visited.
PICTURESQUE CITY.
The general appearance Of Seville is very pleas
ing, Notwithstanding the fact that the streets are
narrow and winding, and from the Giralda, the
lofty bell tower of the cathedral, the view is
a charming one. The houses usually are two
or three stories in height, with white mastered
front and numerous little iron balconies pro-
jecting from the windows. There are no front
steps nor even an excuse for front in the
whole town. The only green spots or places
for fresh air are in the center Of the houses for
they are all built around open interior courts.
where one can see through the iron grating that
answers for a front door in warm weather,
fountain and either plots of flowers or else an
abundance Of palms and Towering plants in
pots. Above this eourt on sunny days in sum-

found the piano and the guitar and inviting
easy chairs, and everything is done to make
life pleasant. One of the attractions, and by
no means the least, Of Seville is hotel of

IN GEN. ALGER'S STATE,
The Delegation Not Pledged-How 1t Will
Vote in Convention.

The Delegation Not Pledged-How It Will
Vote in Convention.
Special Dispatch to The Evening Star
GRAND RAPIDS, MICH, June 4.-The Mich
igan delegates to the Minneapolis conven-
ton have no instructions, ironclad or other
wise, to check through with their other
baggage, and until they get together in caucus
it is uncertain how they will vote when the
time comes. There are three elements in the
delegation, one rampant for Gen. Alger, another
bowling for Blaine and the third insisting that
Harrison has made q good President and is en-
titled to denomination. Each element has its
backing, and each can support its position with
powerful arguments, but in the meantime none,
unless it is the Alger contingent, is saying
much.
Of the three candidates Blaine is undoubtedly
the favorite Of the Michigan republicans,
although he carried the state eight years ago by
only S,308, while four years later Harrison had
plurality of $4,000. If Blaines name is
sprung on the convention with the assurance
that he will accept if nominated, the Michigan
delegates will easily be swept up in the whirl-
wind and be landed squarely in the Blaine line
Ii the whirlwind tactics do not work and Blaine
remains out Michigan will give Gen. Alger. if
the opportunity offers, complimentary vote
and will then split, some staying by Alger and
he others voting for Harrison. Ayers choice.
next to himself of course, is Blaine, but with
Blaine out of the field he cannot by any means
control the Michigan delegation. He is con-
siderable of boss in a small way among Michi-
gan politicians, but has not yet attained that
proud position where he can dictate how the
delegates shall express themselves. He cannot
even hold them together in his own behalf after
the first ballot unless tangible evidences appear
that Michigan will not be alone in the process
sion. For Vice President with Blaine Alger will
receive the Michigan vote if he wants it.
although in this state Secretary Rusk is looked
upon as a much stronger candidate with his
record as q soldier, farmer and statesman.

In Consequence Prisoner Was Put Wounded
Into Coffin and Buried Alive.
A United States commissioner who for
a time was stationed at Wowoko, the capital
of the Seminole nation, relates an in
human and barbarous incident connected with
an execution at Wowoko. 1t is the custom to
execute those convicted of a capital crime by
shooting. The executioners were two members
Of the National Light Horse. detailed for the
purpose. In the instance referred to the vic
tim was led to the rock upon which these Judi
cial killings took place. The two executioners
were too drunk to hit barn and their shots but
wounded one of the human target. They left the
ground at once and the negro brought the rough
box coffin to the side of the wounded man. who
protested'against the proceedings as vigorously
as his strength would permit. Assisted by two
other negroes, the body was put in the box and
an effort made to nail the lid, but the victim
pushed and kicked against it SO that the task
was only accomplished by two of the men sit
ting on the lid while the other drove the nails
with the utmost nonchalence. The interment
was then made, but little unfavorable COM
ment was excited among the many who were
appraised of the horrible affair.

On the morning of the 5th photograph was

branches, a new one having appeared between the
two original ones. Each of these branches was
in turn separated until at least dozen conld be
counted Two degrees from the head along the
northern side of the middle tail a sudden bend
