PHILADELPHIA, March 4--ConSider-
able interest has been aroused by the
announcement that arrangements by
which Senator Hill may secure the

who was in Washington, as a member
of Philadelphia delegation on visit
to the appropriation committee to urge
an appropriation for new mint, when
he heard the story. said: There is nOta

HUNT FOR CAsTAwAYs.
The Tahiti's Crew May Be Play
ing Robinson Crusoe.

SAN FRANCISCO. March 4.-Prepara-
tions are being made by the owners of
the brig Tahiti, which was passed float
ing bottom upwards off Lizard Point,
Mex, Nov 2S, to send vessel TO
the Socorro islands and ascertain
if any of those on the Inflated vessel
were still alive The Tahiti was en-
gagged in transporting 500 natives from
Gilbert islands to work on the Mexican
coffee plantations, when she was over
turned by gale. 1t was first thought
every one on board persisted, but the
report of the steamer R0Sedale that
none of the briggs small boats
were found leads to the belief that some
of the shipwrecked men may have found
their way to the islands in that vicinity.
Capt. Ferguson, the former commander
of the Tahiti. will have charge Of the
search. He states that, though the
Socorro islands are uhinhabited, fish
flesh and fowl are abundant aud the
castaways would fare well for food. 1t
is understood that the United States
steamer Boston will be ordered to make
a cruise in the Pacific and get whatever
information may be possible concerning
the probable survivors.

A REFORM PLATFORM.
Nebraska Prohibitionists Pick Up
All the Fads.

All the Fads.
LINCOLN. Neb., March 4.-The Pro-
hibitlon state convention for the cleo
ton of delegates to the national con-
ventiOn concluded its session this even
ing. interest centered mainly in the
selection of the chairman of the dele
CATION, and some bitterness was pro-
yoke6 on account of an alleged effort by
recent converts to overthrow the plans
of the workers.
The platform adopted, among other
things, renews adherence to the cause
of prohibition; declares that the right
of citizens of the United States to vote
should not be denied or abridged by the
United States or any state on account
of sex; the government should own and
operate railroads, the telegraphs and
telephones of the nation; the money OF
the country should be issued by the
general government only, and in Suffi-
cient quantities to meet the demands OF
for the employment, and to this end
an increase in volume of money
is demanded, but no individual Or cor
poration should be allowed to make any
profit through Issuing it; it should be
made legal tender for all debts; the vol
ume should be fixed at definite sum
per capita, and be made to increase
with the increased population; the cleo
ton OF senators, president and vice
president by the direct vote OF the peo-
pie is favored; opposition Is declared
to all manner of compromise or So
called non-partisan action. TO which
question the suppression OF the liquor
traffic is secondary matter.

GRoCERs SHOULD DO 1T.

The Northwest Trade Wants Them
TO Arrange for Pure Food Ex-
hibit.
These are the reports that come from
various cities where the grocers' asSo-
Citations have given pure food exhibi.
lions. says the Northwest Trade. The
Boston association at its last exposition
made SIT, 900; the Retail Grocers' Union
of New York has made enough in the
past to buy valuable real estate and
have a present surplus, with expecta-
ton that this years exposition will
yield such large net profits as to enable
them to build hall upon their lot;
the Brooklyn unions exposition just
closed has melted, it is said,
several thousand dollars. Phia-
delphia had similar experience, we be-
lieve, and with these facts as guides it is
opportune to ask, why not have pure
food exposition here? Itwould be a nov
city in the Northwest That it would
be successful, if handled by the retail
grocerS themselves, we haven't any
doubt. We do doubt whether private
enterprise. or any other organization
than the grocers', could make it success
full. because the food manufacturers
would hesitate to exhibit unless the eX
position was Endorsed by the grocers.
Now, there is great opportunity here
for the Retail Grocers' association.
We understand thoroughly the first
objection which will be made to this
scheme; it is, there is too much work
involved in it aud no compensation for
the workers. Well, there must be COM
pensation for the workers. Let us sup
pose that five, ten or fifteen members
Of the association are authorized by the
association to take hold of this project
and are assured of a certain percentage
Of the gross profits to carry OH the work
and carry through the exposition. The
food manufacturers will then exhibit
which they would not do for the Mime
apolis exposition, for instance-and the
affair can be made the greatest event in
the way Of an exposition ever seen in
the Northwest.

minded that shortly after the presi-

Two more games will finish this

week. These two games will be be
tween the Nashka and University teams
at Foley's, and between the Regal and
Press at Amort's this evening. The
first game is liable to prove an i'm
portant factor in the result, for it IS not

pull out a victory, although they will be
forced to their utmost speed 10 effect

that was with the Kegels OH the latter's
alley: and this fact, while the Nushkas
acceded TO the play willingly, is consid-
cred an Injustice to the other teams, for
it was an assured victory for the kegels.
But the Nushkas enter the home stretch
almost on even terms with their hardy
adyersaries. The Nushkas have one
more game to play than the other, and
two of these are against dangerous
rivals, while the Kegels,a s has been ex-
planned, only have one more dangerous
team to combat.

scored another failure. Once more
he fell an easy victim to Budd,
Iowa's crack wing shot, and after he
had missed his fifty third bird he threw
up the race and it was awarded TO Budd.
The all was damp and dark, and the
birds. as consequence, were not lively.
Budd grassed forty-nine out of fifty
three birds and was growing stronger
all the time. Fulford was ratified. and
though he tried gun after gun he
missed fifteen pigeons and quit with a
