THE TWO NATIONAL CONVEN-
TTDWC

We think, on the whole, that the
Democratic committee acted very wisely
in selecting Chicago SO the place 10 which
TO hold the next national convention. The
location Of Chicago il comparatively CEN
trail to the whole country. 1t IL the great
mid country metropolis which circum-
stances have to a very great degree raised
above contention. The city is abundantly
able to take care oil the tremendous swarm
Of people who attend such a convention.
It's hotel accommodations are ample be-
vond all question; it is the center of u net
work OF railroads; its Geographic service
is unsurpassed, but abave all, it can furn-
lsh a hall not alone adequate for the use
of the convention, but admirably alapSed
tn its uses-nOt n temporary structure,
hut one constructed for all time aud fitted
with every modern convenience. There
can therefore be no dispute us to
the availability OF Chicago as a
convention city, for public opinion is unaui-
nous on that point.
The Republican national convention
will be held in Minneapolis on Tuesday,
June I; the Democratic national conven.
ton will be held in Chicago, just two
weeks later, on Tuesday, June 81. But
five brief months will elapse before the last
OF these W conventions will be held and
only four and a half until the first will
decide who will be the standard bearers
of the Republican party. Politics will
therefore from this time forward occupy
much public time and attention.

Advice from confuoius.

That the use of tea was universal very
early in Chinese history is borne out by
one of the maxims of Confucius, the
wisest man of China, when he said: BE
good and courteous to all, even to the
stranger from other lands. If he say
unto thee hat he thirsteth give unto him
a cup of warm tea without money and
without ice."-Philadelphia Times.

WARRANTS FOR INCONSISTENCIES.
Thirty-Six More InformatiOns Sworn to
 By Secretary LOVcjOy.

Thirty-Slx More InformatiOns Sworn to By Secretary LovcjOy. PITTSBURG, July 2S.-When Henry c, Prick was shot last Saturday he said, while the doctors were engaged in probing the wounds, that the tragedy would have no effect whatever upon the policy of the company toward the Homestead troubles That he meant what he said was evinced yesterday when Secretary Lovejoy appear ed before Alderman McNIasters and swore out 36 informatiOns against as many of the ex-employes of the company, and upon which the warrants were immediately is sued.
 It is significant, however, that these in formations make a change in the nature of the otfense, the men being charged with aggravated riot, instead of with murder. It is taken as indicating that the company now doubts its ability to sustain the main charge against any of the men and has concluded to content itself by preferring a charge upon which there may be a chance of obtaining some convictions. It is significant also that among the names of those included in the informa- tions are those of nearly every ex-em- plOye who has testified before the coro- ner's jury that the first shots fired on the morning of July came from the Pinker- tons, The fact that the company should have selected these men as victims, es- pecially in view of the fact that as wit nesses before the coroner's jury they will L@Gs likely be expected to testify in court, has created a great deal of com ment and that not very favorable to the company.
 The policy of suppression of names in the matter of informations was again car ried out and the majority of men against whom warrants were issued will have no knowledge of the fact until they are placed under arrest. Private information Is also to the effect that the informations sworn out include the name of nearly every member of the Advisory Committee as well as some of those who have already beFn arrested on tbs charge of murder and ralAsAl4 VD RAiA

CARNEGIE COMPANIES ULTlMATuM,
They Positively Refuse 10 Settle tn.
 Trouble by Arbitration,

They Positively Refuse to Settle the
 Trouble by Arbitration.
 PITTsBURG, Pa, July 2S.-The Carne- gie company has again expressed by written notices on the walls of the mills, that it will not recede from the stand already taken, positively refusing to settle the difficulty by the olive branch methods of arbitration, and re- fuslng to grant any conference to the leaders of the striking employees. This step by the magnates indicates that they can carry on the work of manu. featuring, without the return of the strikers to their forges and further that certain degree of success has attended the labor accomplished by the non- union men. The citizens of Homestead are much discouraged at this latest phase of the difficulty, as they had been led to believe that arbitration would accomplish settlement of existing grievances at an early period.
 The second avowal of the company his condition is still directing affairs personally, and listening to the plans and designs of no one. The notices that have been posted by the company this morning end in declaring that there will not be the slightest deviation from this ultimatum.
 The strikers were greatly angered when they read the notices, and the wild rumors that have been several times afioat that the strikers would blow up the mills are again in the air, and much fear is expressed that disastrous crisis is at hand Threats are openly made, many of the strikers seem angered beyond all reason, and much fear is ex pressed as to what the outcome shall be-

 For Herself.

MEMPHIS, Tenn, July 2S.-In the Nit chell murder case the defendant was call. ed. She arose slowly from her chair and walked deliberately to the witness stand. She was not sworn and answered the questions of Gen. Peters in low but firm voice.
 She said she had known Freda as long as she could remember She visited her at Gold Dust twice
 The last time she remained two weeks She said she knew of nothing unpleasant between her and Mrs. Volkmar She saw Ashley Roselle twice. She thought he was in love with Freda Ward. She knew the way Freda spoke of him that they were engaged.
 II didn't want Freda to marry any young man, but wanted her myself" !" The witness began to cry and continued, SFreda winked at me near the Custom House. That wink, with the right eye," said she, ''meant I love you.'
 'Lllie said to me as I started to kill Freda, Where are you goingP I replied l wanted see Freda once more" Here the witness burst out crying again.
 Whe Gen. Peters ssked that Alice be placed on the stand the defence made the objection that there was no precedent for such action. A hot argument ensu ed, and Gen. Wright made an eloquent plea to save the family from the humiliation of Alice making an exhibition of herself on the stand. After she had testified Gen. Peters stated that the State had nothing to offer. Gen. Wright said the defense was willing to submit the case without argument and Gen. Peters, after moments conversation with some of the junior counsel, said he did not care to argue the case on account of the proceed ings in the Federal Court at Nashville in the H.
