DELEGATES ARRIVING.
Nearly the Entire Representation Nov
at Chicago.

Nearly the Eutlre representation Now
at Chicago.
CHICAGO, June 19.-Delegates to the
Democratic Convention arrived in great
numbers to-day. Enough of the West
Virginia delegation has arrived to indi-
cate that it will stand eleven for Cleye-
land and one for Hill, with German as
second choice.
In the Missouri delegation there seems
to be much strife over the control of its
organization. Governor Francis OF
Missouri is spoken of as a possible Vice
Presidential nominee. While the Mis-
sourians are strong Cleveland men as
long as he is in the race, it looks as
though Morrison would get their
strength if it becomes necessary to take
a Western man, although there is scatter
ing support for Boies from the northern
counties.
The New Mexico delegates propose to
ask the convention for the same liberal
treatment accorded them by the Republi-
can Convention.
The Connecticut delegation has arrived,
enthusiastic to man for Cleveland.
The Michigan men are coming in on
every train to help whoop up the Cleve-
land boom, and the recent Miner law de-
cision gives them an importance they are
not disposed to ignore.
The Pennsylvania delegation is pledged
solidly for Cleveland, according to Mr..

The Son of the Ex-secretary Suddenly
Passes Away In Chicago.
CHICAGO, June l9.-Emmons Blaine,
the second son of ex-Secretary Blaine,
died shortly before noon yesterday of
blood poisoning the result of infamma-
ton of the bowels. The fact of his death
was concealed for some time, the object
being to reach his father with the news in
less startling manner than the public
announcement. Efforts to get telegraphic
communication with him failed, however,
and at 1915 o'clock the news became pub
lie. 1t was only quarter of an hour be-
fore the fatal end came that even an init
nation that young Blaine was i'll dan
gerous condition was made known, and
then only to n few of his most intimate
friends. At the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad headquarters in this city his
associates were only aware that he was ill
and had been so for several days.
Young Blaine was a notable figure in
the exciting scenes in connection with
his fathers Presidential candidacy at
Minneapolis, and took his fathers defeat
greatly To heart. lie was confined TO his
bed shortly after his return from the
north and it is thought possible the strain
and excitement at Minneapolis, followed
by the keen disappointment of the out
come, had not little to do with the pros
tration ensuing.
Death occurred in the home of Emmons
Biaine's father-in-law, Cyrus Ii. McCor-
mick Only his wife, son and Mrs. Nc
Cormick were present. Death came so
suddenly there was not time to summon
the other members OF the family. Strenu-
Gus efforts were made during the night
and morning to get message to Hon.
James G. Blaine and wife, who are at Bar

critical condition, but the telegraph COM
panies were unable to get the message
through. A member Of the Mccormick
family, explaining why the information
of young Blaine's death was withheld,
said: 81 feared it would be death blow
to them and all the members of the
Blaine family to receive the dreadful
news without preparation"
Emmons Blaine was Vice-President of
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Com
pany. He came to Chicago recently to
take charge of its Western interests. His
wedding in New York to Miss Anita Nc
Cormicl<, daughter of the great reaper
manufacturer. was social event of the
first magnitude.

NOT DISAPPOINTED AT HIS FAITH Err S
DEFEAT.
AUGUSTA (Me.), June 19.-Hon. J. H.
Manley to-day sent the following COM
munication to an agent of the Associated
Press: "The sentiment widely published
that Emmons Blaine returned from Min
neapolis sorely disappointed at the result
and worn out by labors is entirely
erroneous. Emmons roomed with me at
the West Hotel during the convention,
and was with him constantly. When l
left him in Chicago on June 18th never
saw him in happier frame of mind,
lighter-hearted and full of hope for the
future. His last words to me were: 1.-THE
result of the convention is all right. Give
nv love to every one in Maine. You viii
see us all this summer. Do not have any
misgiviugs for father. His fame is as
sured."

To-day rumors were current that the

were so alarming that Sheriff Sharvy de-

cLEvELAND,s STRENGTH.
Figures Given Out by Managers on
Both Sides.


Both Sides.
CHICAGO, June 19.-Late tonight there
is difference of 166 between estimates of
Cleveland's strength as made by the Hill
managers and the friends of Cleveland.
Cleveland's opponents give him 423. They
do not give figures as to Hilrs strength.
The official list of the anti Hill managers
give Cleveland $50, doubtful and scatter
ing 3l2. The sum OF these totals. 9Ol. ex-
ceeds the total number of delegates to the
convention, and the excess is not clearly
explained. Cleveland's opponents ques-
ton its correctness. In the estimates OF
the total the Massachusetts delegation is
for Cleveland. Governor Russell. how
ever, states that twenty-eight of the thirty
have always been Cleveland men. and
the Cleveland managers tonight state the
other two came to Cleveland headouar-
ters this evening and stated that thew
would vote for Cleveland. The Cleye-
land men, while they claimed only twenty
of the thirty votes from Texas, state that
they are practically assured that five
more will be added TO Cleveland's column
from the Texas delegation.
Judge Henderson Of Utah stated to-
night that both the Utah delegates would
vote for Cleveland.
After the Cleveland missionaries this
afternoon had spoken before the Wash
ington delegation. the Chairman of the
delegation announced that although they
have been counted for Hill, they were
now convinced that Cleveland could carry
New York, and their eight votes would
be cast for him.
Arizona and New Mexico, which, being
free silver States, were considered sure
for Hill, are conceded by his managers to
Cleveland.

there is an aggressive minority disposed
to stand against unanimous vote for
Cleveland. The ex-President's support
ers, however, assert that the unit rule
cannot be broken. There is said TO be a
strong Pattison feeling in the delegation,
arising from the Governors use of State
patronage.
Henry Watterson is reported to be very
angry at the interference OF the Cleve-
land people with his plans to have w. C.
owens OF kentucky named as tempo
rary presiding officer. The Cleveland
people want A. r. Stevenson of Illinois.
Watterson has no objections to Stevenson
personally, but wants to save the conven-
ton from the discredit of being run by
Cleveland ofiice-holders. He thinks
there is too much of that thing already,
with five of Cleveland's cabinet on the
ground, working like beavers to secure
his nomination.

The Wisconsin delegation came in
this afternoon, bringing with them
a ice-Presidential candidate in the
person of Governor George w. Peek.
The boom for him started on the train.
Governor Peck entered an earnest pro-
test, but the idea of having a veteran
printer on the ticket TO oppose Whitelaw

him. Mr.. Peck declared Wisconsin is
for Cleveland, and thought Boies or Gray
would get second place.

zations Of Milwaukee, came in nearly

A WARNING.

Professor Iilgard Calls Attention to

The following circular, issued by Pro-
fessor Hilgard, the State Analyst, is in
tended to warn the public against the use
of an article for preserving fruits, etc.,
employed by an Ohio company:
BERKELEY, Cal, June 18th.
1t seems that quiet but active canvass
Is being made in this State, and probably
elsewhere, under the caption, "frhe Ohio

for Preserving Fruits, Vegetables and
| Liquids" and the circular is headed by
notice that ''any one printing or selling
directions not obtained from us will be
prosecuted to the fell extent of the law"
compound Extract Of Salyx' is the
| sonorous name under which the alleged
new nostrum is advertised.
The name of this compound Extract
is incautiously suggestive OF salicylic
acid. An examination of the sample fruit
distributed by the canvassers accordingly
shows, in the liquid around the fruit, one
third of one per cent. of salicyiic acid.
which of course is well known to pre-
serve fruit, as well as other vegetable and
animal matter, but is better adapted to
the preparation of show specimens than
| to preserve for human consumption.
Doubtless there are persons who may for
SONIC IlliiC take Sllcn uOSeS OF LDC Well
known preservatiye with impunity.
there are others with whom it's use would
in short time create very serious disor-
ders of the digestion; and there are those
whose digestion is stopped point blank
when such preserves" are eaten.
Anyone is at liberty to take his choice
as TO which of the above classes he con-
siders himself as belonging, and may take
| his dose of medicine with his dessert IL he
chooses. But should anyone desire to do
SO, it is quite unnecessary for him 10 pay

Mr.. Leeds may beguile the unwary
with theories, but he exposes his hand
when he undertakes to deal with figures.
The report Of the United States Agri-
cultural Department shows that the aver
age value of California wheat per bushel
on the farm in 1891 was % cents, while
that of Kansas was 73 cents. This strik-
ing difference of more than 80 per cent in
our favor is accounted for by the fact that
it costs just that much less TO transport
California wheat from the farm to for
eign market.

forty regular soldiers, who slipped by the
guard and commenced shooting as soon
as they entered the town. The attack has
caused great CONSERVATION, as there is no
motive for the shooting or disturbance.
In the melee one soldier was killed and
two wounded. One citizen was seriously

When the President OF the
United States touches the key
which is to start the machinery of
the Worlds Columbian Exposi
ton, it is expected that the signal
will neither be confined to the Ex-
position nor even to the vast
continent, in commemoration OF
whose discovery that great Exposi-
ton will be given, but the signal
will most appropriately have a
world wide reach. Every city of
any considerable size in Europe
and America will at that moment
be placed in electrical connection
with the little key upon which the
President will press his finger.
Both Europe and America will feel
the impulse which will start the
machinery at the Worlds FAIR,
and will he followed by the ringing
of bells, the screeching of steam
Whistles, and the display of the
national flag in all the chief cities
and towns in the United States.
Such will be a most appropriate
opening of the celebration Of an
event in which all the world has
an interest, and which has made
and left an impress upon the
worlds progress such as no other
event has done since the dawn of
creation.

Very early in the history of the
human race, as given in the Old
Testament, silver was priced both
for ornament aud for use as money.
1t is shown 10y all the ancient his
torians that the silver in use
among the people of Palestine, as
we'll as all neighboring countries,
was brought from SPAN. The
Tarshish mentioned In the Bible
was undoubtedly Tartessus, city
and emporium Of the Phoenlcinns,
situated in the Spanish peninsula.
Spain was the chief source whence
silver was obtained by the ancisnts.
This fact can be traced back till
the story of the silver mines OF
that country enters and Is lost in
the misty realms of fable. Thus
Diodorus relates of the first dis
covery of the mines that the
shepards Of the Pyrenees set fire
to the forests, when the ore in the
veins was fused and STREAMS OF
molten silver ran down the side OF
the mountain like water" The
Arabs and the Romans alike OBJ
tanned most of their silver from
Spain. Hannibal derived from the
same source the means of carrying
on his war, one nine alone daily
furnishing him silver to the amount
of 300 pounds weight; while the
Carthagenians at one time had
10000 men employed in mining
and smelling the ores.
