CHICAGO, June a4.-By the explosion of . steam valve in the whaleback Christo- pher Columbus of Waukeegan on Satur- day night two men were killed, and IS were dangerously injured. The dead are:
 Frank Wilson, coal passer.
 F.. J. Stein, fireman.
 It was the homeward run of the whale back in its opening summer excursion to Milwaukee. About $50 souls were aboard. Flying flags, with music and dancing, were the order of the evening. Half mile in the boats wake plowed the rival ex- cursion steamer Virginia, which, clearing every pound of steam possible to overtake her competitor. On the outward trip the Virginia had not only held the advantage, but doubled it, and the crew of the whale back were determined that they should not be passed. And the Virginia was gaining As the sun went down the boats pushed ahead neck and neck, not more than 800 yards apart.
 The decks and promenades of both steamers were crowded with passengers. Shouts and waving garments told the in- terest in the outcome that attends the race course. The Virginia surged ahead. Word passed from the engine room that the Christopher Columbus was resolved on a little fun. The rival boat should be al- lowed to gain half mile on the whale back, 1t was said, and then steam was to be run up, and the situation would be changed before reaching the Chicago har- hpr

The Democrat. .. Loui.viiie.

LoUIsvIkkR, June 26.-The administra- tion and Secretary Carlisle were certainly fayorites in the Democratic state conven- ton here. The slverites went into the district meetings in the morning and into the convention at noon with confidence. In the district meetings they were beaten to 1. They claimed 1 out of the II dis trict members of the committee on rcsolu- tions, but the administration men claim that the committee stood to 8 originally against free silver, and as complet~i 9 to 4.
 The complexion of this committee could not have been changed by the appoint ment of both members at large from the silverites, but when Judge William Beck ner, as temporary chairman, divided the members at large, giving one of the two to each side, the silver men felt that they had been outclassed, although they would not confess to being outnumbcred.
 They claimed victory in the election of Beckner over Stone, but after the for mer divided the appointments equally on all the committees and announced his con- seryative views no claims were made on him. Stone would have appointed only sound money men on the committees. Judge Beckner is sound money man, but favored General Hardin for governor. Although General Hardin favors free coinage, he has been supported through out by many who insist on a sound mon- ey platform for him.

The grammar school boy was reading the paper when he stopped 1ddenly and appealed to his mother.
 "Say, mother" he said, "what does it mean in the paper here where it says scared horse broke loose from where he was hitched to fence and tore down the street?"
 "It means just what it says, |" replied the mother without thinking.
 "How can it?' persisted the boy. "How could he tear down the street? There ain't anything for him to tear down. He might have torn down the fence, but not the street."
 "Yes, oh, yes, said the mother quite as intelEgently as before.
 ''I guess the paper made 8 mistake, !" said the boy, fixing up his own explana- tion, land it meant to say he tore up the street. I've seen the streets tore up a good many times laying street car tracks and gas pipes and things"
 He thereupon resumed his reading and his mother sat looking at him as if she feared he might have an attack of brain fever.-Detroit Free Press

Em.r,on For wom.n suf..~..

Ralph Waldo Emerson, in e Phi Beta Kappa oration on sThe Progress of Culture. recounts the gains of the reform movement as follows:
 Observe the marked ethical quality of the innovations urged or adopted. The new claim of woman to political status is itself an honorable testimony to the civilization which has given her civil status new in history. Now that by the increased humanity of law she controls her property she inevitably takes the next step to her share in power.
 Again, in the Essay on Civiliza- tion." he says:
 Right position of woman in the state Is another index. Place the sexes in the right relations of mutual respect, and a severe morality gives that essen tial charm to woman which educates all that is delicate, poetic and self sac riff eng; breeds courtesy and learning. conversation and wit, in her rough mate, so that have thought a sufficient measurer of civilization is the influence of good women.

Lord Ro~sbery Reslrns.

LONDON, June 24-The outcome of tho deliberations of the cabinet In consequence of tho adverse vote in the house of com mons on Friday is that Lord Rosebcry has tendcrcd his resignation to the queen. Her majesty has therefore summoned Lord Salisbury, tho loader of tho Conservative party, to Windsor in connection with the formation of conservative ministry.
 Tho leading Conservatives declare that the Marquis of Salisbury will not formal ly take office until parliament is dissolved Ho will insist that the government, before yielding the seals, shall pass vote of an amount necessary for the cxponditures for two months to enable general election to be held, at which tho Conservatives will thus he in position of attack instead of defense. s.. .e.

 The Court Circular last night contains the following:
 Earl Rosebery, K. G., first lord of the treasury and lord president of the coun. oil, arrived at the castle and tendcrcd his resignation to her majesty, by whom it was accepted"
 The Graphic says: Ut is an old trick on the part of disorcdited ministry to TO- sign office In preference to diSsolving par liamcnt, SO as to leave the opposition the task of winding up the business of tho moribund chamber. But it is the duty of the opposition to forcc Lord Ro@cbery's government to dissolve.
