Morrison's friends are not idle. They
realize that the question of candidacy
between Stevenson and Morrison must
be settled first i'm Illinois. Morrl-
son has a very strong hold on the
party organization Of his state, and if
he can retain control he will be able TO
capture the state delegation. Both Ste
venson and Morrison would be acceptable
10 the silver men. They are both BIZ
metalists and tariff reformers.

HER FINAL GUN.
Work on the Olympia
Finished.
The Pretty Cruisers Last Eight
Inch Rifle on Its Way From
the East-Notes.

When commander j. j. Read steps on
board the cruiser Olympia to take charge
he will undoubtedly utter some sort of
an ejaculation of satisfaction. All clean
and new and bright looking is the pretty
cruiser from the hermit-like steeripg-room,
far down in the vessels stern and below the
water line. to the substantial but more
airy conning-tower close to the bridge.
The Olympia only needs one gun to COM
plate her. That has been tested and is
now on its way to San Francisco Com

be said that railroad train has a wake.
TIE gun Is an 8-inch life and is for one
| of the forward turrets. It's sisters are at
present at the hayward waiting to be put
on board the ship. task which will not
require very much time to accomplish.
Though guniess and not altogether
housed over at the turrets. the Olympia is
a finished warship. All the alte rations to
her ammunition -hnistS, turret machinery
and electrical clnirivances have been
made and the work Of the machinISts
carpenters and painters is done. The
furnishing OF the cabins is now under con.
sideration. There is some tlk also of
presents that citizens will make to beautify
the vessels quarters.
Much speculation is INDUCED Ia as to
the probable destination of the Olym pia
1t is sale to say that not even the Seere-
tary of the Navy can answer the question,
for there is no telling what may turn up
between now and the time that the ship
goes into commission.
Among those who have secured berths
on the steamship Mariposa, which sails

quarters to Abolish the Rapid
Transmission System.

The entire telegraphic system of the
United SAFES is about TO take back step.
The move is paradoxicaI, however, and is
for the best. The 1st of January, 1895,
will witness the passing of the Wheat
stone instrument that only decade ago
revolutionized the Morse system of tele-
graphy and was written up TO the extent
of volumes by clever writer's, who en-
deaVored to show what blessing the new
Invention was to the merchant, the ordi-
nary citizen and the newspaper man.
The passing of the Wheatstone means
the discharge of large force of en-
ployes at the Western Union office at
Pine and Mon tgomery streets. The edict
has been officially posted. The quee r
machine with its clicking saunders and
Keeling tape is to be taken out and Morse
wires substituted. The great, much talked
about word-gTinding Wheatstone is a COM
plete failure
The fall OIL the instrument is due to the
complaints of the Associated Press, the
wheat buyers and merchant, who do a
heavy business by cable with all parts of
the world. The Press Association took
the first step toward crushing out the
rapid-fre gun of biography by establish
lug and leasing wires and placing them in
charge OF Morse operators.
The Wheatstone system has been used
in every telegraph Office of importance ia
the United States. Ii originated with an
English inventor, who had introduced it
into the postal telegraph system of Eng
land, in which country it is still used
The machine is operated by punching on
a tape the dots and dashes representing the
letters of a message. Hundreds of mes
sages are punched on the same tape and
can be transmitted at the rate IF 800 words
per minute.
a wholesale discharge of operators fol-
lowed the introduction Of the instrument
into this country. The contract signed
by the Western Union in favor of the
WheatstOne Company provided that Eng
lish photographers should be sent from Lon
don TO superin tend the various branches
of the department..

pickpocket
He was walking along Post street at an
early hour yes ,erday morning when ne was
accosted by an attractive young woman
near the entrance to the Bohemian Club.
They conversed for a few minutes and
parted.
Shortly afterward Markham had occa-
sion to take out his curse and he felt
both angry and surprised to find that five
$50 gold pieces were missing. While en-
gaging him in conversation the young
woman had dexterously placed her hand
10 the packet where he kept his purse,
and had as dexterOusly opened the purse
ana extracted the gold pieces without MS
knowledge. She left $50 in the purse.
Markham met Policeman j. j. Farrell
and together they went in search of the
young woman. On Dupont street near
Market they met Kitty Fitzgibbons aud
another Young woman and Markham
charged Kitty with stealing the 500.
She denied having seen him before, but
Markham was as positive that he had
made no mistake, so Kitty was taken to
the City Prison in the patrol wagon and
booked on the charges of grand larceny
and vagrancy
The angry drummer accompanied her
in the agou and waited III the prison till
Matron Gilmore had searched Kitty. She
had $40 gold piece IN her hand, but 9TH

The case was called in Judge Joachim

REALIZING THE SITUA TON.

Why should the Republicans think they
can now impose upon the working men of
the country any more successfully than in
1890 and 1892? After the Congressional
elections OF 1890 Senator Sherman regret
fully admitted that it was no longer posi-
BILE to stampede the workingmen into
blind voting for protection, and after 1892
President Harrison had some rather bitter
observations 10 make about the laboring
men who would not stand under the same
umbrella with their employers.
There are signs that the intelligence of the
working men is being applied to some of
the present tricks of the Republicans and
will see into them as clearly as into those of
two and four years ago. For example, the
solemn proposal of the potters to give their
operatives English wages" is, we under
stand, being carefully inquired into by some
of the shrewder working men in the bust

Is that the scale of English wages which the
manufacturers present for their considera.

about 40 per cent although their protection
under the Wilson bill Is reduced only 90
per cent. As working man in this line of
WORK writes: "They propose to rob us, not
because ii is right or just, but simply be.
cause we are at their mercy"
We see that the champions of Protection
in the tariff debate now going on at Wash
ington are warning the Democrats to "look
out for the working man." They have come
TO consider the working man as sort of
partisan property, and they are apparently
not TO be undeceived. But for their own
infatuation, after the revolt against the Nc.

any improvement in the general condition

indication that they begin to realize the sit
