ANTl-cLEvELANo SCHEME.

An Effort to Keep the Southern Delegates
From Voting for the Ex-President on the
First Ballot.
CHICAGO, June 1s.--As yet but few Of
the southern delegates have arrived in
Chicago AS at Minneapolis the men
of the south hold the balance of power,
and as a consequence present the
most promising field for the labors
of the president makers 1t is said
the anti-ClevelaHd men think if they
can keep the southern delegates from
Cleveland on the first ballot, or until
the impossibility of his candidacy is
made apparent, they can then be eswung
into line for some more available candi-
date, perhaps western man. These
anti-Cleveland m en- point out that prob
ably the delegates from neither of the
Carolinas will vote for the ex-president,
and that he can not secure more than one
third the votes of Georgia, Alabama and
Virginia. This process will so reduce
Cleveland's votes from the south as to
prevent his nomination, they say. Mr..
German, they say, will divide the votes
of the southern delegates with Cleve-
land, and Senator Carlisle will secure

Archbishop ireland On Catholics In
Frunco-The Labor Question.
PARIS, June 20.-The Temps Saturday
published an interview with Archbishop
Ireland, OF st. Paul, Mimi, who has ar
rived here on his way to the United
States after his successful mission to
the vatican, in regard TO the saltwater
Faribault education scheme.
The archbishop spoke of the pope's
recent encyclical enjoining Catholic
royalists in France TO support the re-
publican form OF government. Accord
ing to the Temps, Archbishop Ireland
said: "The pope's decision that Cath
olics must adhere to the republic is ire
vocable. The church in France must
not remain attached to u corpse. IT
must accept the republic"
In regard to labor disputes, the arch
bishop said he hoped that all differ
ences between employers and their
worlmen would eventually be settled
through the simple accord of individ-
uals and the action of trade unions. II
their efforts were futile, the state
should intervene American workmen,
he continued, were thoughtful and rea'
sonable. They only demanded what
was possible to obtain, and did not
seek to foment useless and ruinous
strikes.
The archbishop remarked on the at
tempts made in France to found Cath
olic worlSingmen's societies. He dwelt
on the fact that there was no religious
| distinction in any trade associations II

AT CHICAGO.
At Immense Democratic National
Convention Promised.
The Bos Boomers WIN Make Good sized
Convention Alone-The Hill Men
Seem to He n still Hunt
How They VIII Organize.

CHICAGO, June 16.-The Democratic
National convention is showing the first
signs of becoming thing of life, and
by Friday 1t will begin to grow, until
by next Tuesday the biggest convention
the democratic party has ever held will
be full grown.
Gov. Boies' managers from Iowa
started the convention for their favorite
early Wednesday by establishing thoir
headquarters at the Palmer house, and
were kept busy during the day sending
out Boies documents and pamphlets,
showing the great popularity and safety
of their favorite son. The Iowa people
are inclined to believe that the conven-
ton will be a long one, and that Boies
will be nominated on the seventh or
eighth ballot
The Cleveland men are not to be out
done by the Hawkeyes, and they have
established similar quarters at the
Grand Pacific, where two handsome
young ladies are hard at work sending
out letters, circulars and articles TO va
rious weak delegates who, it is sup
posed, are to be won over If the proper
evidence is shown that Cleveland is the
strongest candidate.
The Hill men seem to be on still
hunt. Only one Hillite has so far put
in an appearance, and he is Charles f.
Peck, of New York. But this individ-
ual has enough enthusiasm for half a
dozen men, and is loudly proclaiming
the virtues of David B., and his great
ability as a vote-getter.
The national committee of the demo-
cratic party has much less important
functions to petform.then the repub-
lican national committee, so far as re-
spects the Organization of the conven-
ton, and for this reason IL is not so
essential factor in. the presidential
fight.
Thus far the only names mentioned
around headquarters for temporary
chairman is that of Adlai Z. Stevenson,
of Illinois, and ex-Gov. Campbell, of
Ohio; but Henry Watterson, of Ken
lucky, has been spoken of for the honor
in the press and else where. Until the
arrival Of the delegates and national
committeeman tho field is wide open for
speculation.
Mr. Steering, the secretary of the
democratic national committee, said
that he should not, and he did not be-
lieve any of the members of the national
committee would, enter actively into
the nominating canvas, and endeavor to
shape the course Of the convention.
The Boies boomers say il is first place
for Iowss favorite or nothing. They

THE BRIDGE DISASTER.
rhs Dead May Number over Thirty-Eiv
and the wounded About Fifteen.


and the Wounded About Fifteen.
CINCINNATI, June 17.-The dead in tho
bridge disaster between Covington and
Newport, Wednesday, may number
over thirty-five and the wounded about
fifteen. The loss on the bridge is $751;
800. The accident is still the talk of tho
three cities.
The same work Of rescue is going on
Rt the bridge Thursday as Wednesday,
and large crowds still come TO see the
work. The list of the victims has not
been completed, and 1t appears almost
impossible to get an authentic report
owing to the irregular men employed
on the bridge. A couple of strangers
who were there and some boys who
were swimming beneath the structure,
are supposed to have been crushed.
The belief seems to be general that
insufficient piling was the cause of the
sccident There were enough piles at
first, but when the recent rains swelled
the river they began to give way. This
is the testimony of all who escaped, as
well as that of Robt. Baird, one of the
contractors who was killed. Whose
fault this was is now difficult to decide.
Chas. A. Stewart, formerly civil en-
gineer for Cincinnati, was the engineer
in charge, but was absent at the time
of the accident
The injured men and the dead that
are not at private houses were taken to
st. Elizabeths hospital and Mennin'
gers undertaking establishment in
Covington and the Newport morgue al
Betzs establishment in Newport. A
ceaseless surge of people are making
the rounds of these places. They are
inquiring for friends or acquaintances
who are missing. Coroners Davis, oil
Newport, and Wilson, of Covington,
were early on the scene.
Among the divers who worked hero
ically to release bodies from the debris
were the following: Charles II. WilAer-
son, ope of the escaped workmen, and
who rescued six bodies; Christ. Beck,
Herman Burgess and Barney King.
The Hercules Carrel, dredge boat, was
of good service. Rudolph Schmidt, the
boatman, sent over skiff aad three
men to the scene.
The bridge span was 362 feet and the
traveller, from which most of the mer
fell, was 126 feet from the river.

A SPARK

Sete Fire to the Independent nung Fac
tory, and IL $25O,oOO Blaze Results.
PARKERsBURG, w. Va, June 16.-Tele-
phone dispatches from Elizabeth, TWEEN
ty-two miles up the Little Kanawha
river, say that the Independent Bung
factory, of that place, the largest enter
prise of the kind in the United States,
belonging to a company of New
York capitalists, and managed by j. C.
Hale, of that place, is in ruins. Shortly
after noon Wednesday flames We're dis
covered in the furnace room, and it is
supposed the fire originated from a
spark. In an incredibly short time the
fire had communicated to the entire
building, which, with the stock on hand
and the lumber in the yard, was de-
stroyed. The loss entailed, including
damage to machinery, will aggregate
S25O,OOO. 1t was with the greatest eff
fort that the firm of Bruins Bros 81
Hoffman's place was saved.

Meeting of the Ant,-Home Rulers.

BELFAST, June 1S.-The great Ulster
convention, to consider the negative
side of the home rule question, was held
in this city Friday. Work was gener-
ally suspended, shops and business
houses being decorated with flags
and bunting, and many notices,
expressive of the ulsterites' de-
termination never to submit to the
rule of an Irish parliament The
convention was held in an enormous
pavilion, erected for the pcrpose, at the
intersection of College park and Rugby
road, and the building was crowded to
it's utmost capacity with delegates and
enthusiastic opponents of home rule.
About 10000 delegates were present.
Resolutions were adopted against a par
Lament in Ireland, and declaring their
determination to remain as an integral
part of the United Kingdom.

BAYOU SARA, La, June 20.-The new
levee on the bayou protecting the town
of Bayou Sara gave way at s:15 Sunday,
and by noon the town was totally sub
merged to a depth ranging from four to
eleven feet. Though the warning had
long been sounded, both by the press
and individuals, it was only
through the almost superhuman efforts
of brave men that not single life
was lost, although there were many
narrow escapes. All reached the haven
of safety, the high grounds of st. Fran
cisville, in drenched and, in some in
stances, in a terrified and exhausted
condition, and many of them are made
homeless. The loss of property, both
public and personal, amounts to thou
sands of dollars, though no estimate
has vet been made

Strong Comments by the British Press

strong comments By the Brltish IresB-
Peace or War.
LONDON, June 20.--The Post says:
"The Ulster meeting is no mere repeti-
ton of the remonstrance of 1886. 1t
represents force called into existence
by the apathy or Indifference of the
British electorate. Never has a more
strenuous appeal been made to the
highest principles of national life and
British honor Commenting on the
Ulster convention, the News admits that
it was most successful spectacle and
parade, and that the speakers were
moderate.
The Standard says: "Ulsters voice
will ring through the kingdom and will
conspicuously refute the sinister proph-
ecies of the adversary The only plea
that touched the hearts of the elector-
ate in favor of home rule was that it
would bring peace. We know now
that it will bring the sword" The
Times says: mo political demonstra-
ton of our time has afforded any par
allel to the Ulster convention. If we
mistake not, it will reveal for the first
time to many of our countrymen that
there is an Ulster question as well as
an Irish question, to ignore which
would be an act of criminal folly. The
delusion that the Ulster resistance is n
mere Orange movement has been finally
diSnelled "

BRAZIL, Ind, June 16.-A sad story is
that related by an old, well-dressed, but
haggard-loolIing man in this city as
he applied to the Odd Fellows
for funds to carry him to his home
in Pana, Ill. He gave his name
as Sandford, and said that for
two years he has been searching
through almost every state in the union
for his lost child, and is now on his way
home from Cincinnati wrecked in health
and fortune. Two years ago his wife
left her little seven-year-old boy in
charge of the house while she went to
call on a neighbor. The lad disap-
peared during her absence. Wells were
inspected, streams dragged and every
shing done to find the boy. The father
believes that his boy was stolen and
still lives.
