[BY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIDUNE]
Washington, May 3.-Representative Gros>
venor gave out tonight a very full statement OF
the results so far reached in the contest for the
control Of the Republican National Convention
at ST. Louis. He said:
II will be remembered that on q former occa-
sion stated that May would show Mckinley
with a majority Of the delegates elected. May i
has come, and my prediction has been verified
Last week, while the conventions did not pro-
duce startling number of delegates for any
one, yet there did come to the campaign some
very remarkable and to many minds unexpect-
ed results. The Endorsement of Mckinley by
Vermont marked the existence OF an active Nc
Kinley sentiment which had for a long time been
manifest to intelligent observers in all the
States OF New-Engand. The outbreak OF popu-
lar sentiment In Illinois. which overwhelmed the
party orga niZation Of that wonderfully organ
lied State and swept away the plans OF the
bosses and overturned the calculations or
everybody indicated that the tide, which 1t was
fondly hoped by many would be arrested ana
possibly turned back. Is rising higher and high
err and sweeps across the continent with ire
sistible force. The echo Of Vermont was re-
sponded to by the triumphant shout Of Nc
Klney's friends in Arizona. and the reflex wave
carried his flag with irresistible momentum TO
victory in Illinois. Like causes effect like re-
suits In politics, and where an election Is thus
carried by the overwhelming popular sentiment
against all organized forces In one state. II is
always fair 10 presume that the same result
will follow In other states. The present condl-
ton of the Mckinley vote Is as follows:

PERRY BELMONT GOING ABROAD.


POLITICIANS SAY HE APPARENTLY THINKS THE
DEMOCRATIC NOMINATION FOR GOVERNOR
IS NOT WORTH FIGHTING FOR.
Ex-Congre ssman Perry Belmont whose name has
been frequently linked OF late with the Democratic
nomination for Governor this fall has engaged
passage for Europe on the New-York. OF the Ameri-
can Line. and will sail for Southampton on Wednes'
day.
Mr. Bemont's sudden decision to go abroad when
the states are being made up for the fail campaign
was variously commented upon in political circles
yesterday. II was certainly a surprise to Demo-
Gratis who have regarded Mr. Belmont as Senator
Hills choice for the Governorship nomination and
thought that It was Mr.. Belmonts intention to
enter the lists and make a strong fight for the
place That he should arrange for an extended
absence in Europe on the threshold OF an important
National and State campaign had more than one
construction place upon It. Some OF Mr.. Belmonts
personal and political friends said that he was not
seeking the nomination for Governor on the Demo-
cratic ticket
81 think" said well-known Democrat to whom
this statement was made, that Mr. Belmont has mas
coming campaign and that he has concluded that
the Democratic nomination for Governor Is not
worth fighting for. At least 1t Is pretty certain IN
that he does not mean to spend much money 10
one OF Mr. Belmont's friends was asked yesterday
II II was not strange that he should go abroad on
the eve of election Of delegates to the Democratic
Convention. especially when II was understood that
IT do n not think it strange" was the reply. be
cause Mr. Belmont is not a candidate for any nom
ina ton All this talk about Mr.. Belmont having
been declared in the race for the nomination for
Governor is unauthorized and Is absolutely without
any foundation. He Is very much interested N @ the

NEW LAKE GUNBOAT.
Just Launched at Cleveland-To Be
Used in Revenue Service.
Has Torpedo Tubes in Her Bow and Could
BE Made a Formidable Vessel In
Time of War-Protest Likely
from England.

The Walter Q. Gresham, which has
Just been launched at Cleveland, will
when finished, be assigned for service
on Lake Michigan, with headquarters at
Milwaukee. 1t is feared that Great
Britain will make some objection to the
use of the Gresham on the lakes on the
ground thatitshould be properly classed
as n war vessel. By a convention between
Great Britain and the United States
only one vessel of that type can be main
tanned on the lakes by either govern
ment, and the United States already has
the cruiser Michigan in service on these
waters. The naval attaches of the Brit
ish embassy have made full reports to
their home government concerning this
vessel, and have represented it as an
effective gunboat.
Whether Great Britain will regard it
as built in violation of the treaty, which
prohibits the employment of more than
one war vessel on the great lakes, has
not yet been developed, but it is certain
that the representatives of the British
embassy in the city of New York have
regarded it with suspicion ever since
the plans were prepared. At the state
department it is said that no complaint
has yet come from the British foreign
office.
When it is seen that the Gresham
actually has torpedo tubes in her bow,
and in other respects resembles a Md
ern gunboat, some representation, it is
believe, is likely to be made to this
country by Lord Salisbury. The answer,
of course, will be that the vessel is be-
ing built for revenue cutter service, and
will be used exclusively for that pUr-
pose. Officially Secretary Olney will
insist that there has been no violation
of treaty stipulations, and if objection
is made to the use of torpedo tubes on
the ground that they can be of no pos,
sible necessity for vessels engaged eX-
clusively in preventing violations of our
revenue laws, the department will con-
tent itself with calling attention to the
fact that the English government was
the first to adopt this novelty in the
construction of the revenue cutters
which she built for service on the lakes
two years ago.
Unofficially the treasury authorities
do not deny that the three vessels soon
to be placed on the lakes will be very eff
fective war vessels While, of course,
they will be equipped with light bat
terry, consisting of small rapid-fire guns,
such as are now used on the smaller YES
sells, they will be built with view to
carrying heavier weapons and tor
pedoes if occasion should require. The
vessels will be of about 1000 tons dis
placement, nearly four times as large
as the cutters now in service. They will
be capable of 1872 knots speed. The
Gresham is the only one of the three
yet contracted for. Plans have been
prepared for the other two, and con-
tracts will be had for their construc-
ton some time in November.

NEW FLYING MACHINE.
Inventor Proposes to Furnish His Own
Motive Power.


Motive Power.
A flying machine is being constructed
at Vanguard, Paris, in the workshops
in which NJ Andree's balloon was made,
which on calm days may relieve some
what the crowded condition of the
streets. The machine is not intended
to sail against the wind, but merely
to counteract the attraction of gravita-
ton by series of small balloons, and
to rely on the efforts of the flyer himself
for all motive force.
A large crowd assembled on the Quai
Bourbon the other day, necessitating a
special police service to keep order.
The crowd was watching balloon APP
preaching from the west and follow
ing the course of the Seine. The bal
loon was visibly collapsing, and fears
were expressed for the safety of the
aeronaut. 1t began to Craze the roofs
of the houses. Finally the aeronaut,
Selling an Opportune moment, opened
the basket and jumped on a roof without
receiving a bruise. The balloon settled
down near by, and the firemen were
called out to empty it of gas.

WANT FREE ALCOHOL.
Druggists to Ask Congress to Amend the
Laws to That End.

The principal business before the Ma
tional Wholesale Druggists associa-
ton at Philadelphia the other day was
the reading and adoption of report
on the injustice of taxing domestic al
cohol used by home manufacturers
when competing with foreign man
ufacturers who pay no tax on alcohol
used by them. The report was drawn
up by Drs. Grisey and Allen, Charles
and William B. King and George A.
King, attorneys and counselors for the
various manufacturers, who were spe-
cially employed to collect from the
the United States the rebate on alcohol
used in the arts or medicine, as prom
ised by section 81 of the act of August
IS, 1894.
The report recommends the commit
tee of the coming year to exert all pos
sible influence toward securing free al
cohol for medicine and the arts under
such administration as will afford its
benefits to the small manufacturer
equally with the larger; and particular
ly to present to the joint congressional
committee on alcohol in the arts such
facts as will warrant a recommends
ton in favor of this policy.
From letter bearing on foreign pro-
tected preparations, it appeared there
was often as much as 900 per cent. profit,
which the people of the United States
paid, and of which no share comes to
the jobbers and wholesalers. The COM
mittee on legislation, therefore, sub
mitted the resolution:
Resolved, That the president appoint a
legged irregularities in the distribution of
certain foreign protected chemical or med
ical preparations to the disadvantage of
legitimate dealers, and to suggest rene
dy by which the interests of the jobbing
trade will be equally protected"
