THE HOBBY OF HIS OLD AGE.

1t is thoroughly characteristic that his
favorite hobby at the present moment
should be the institution of a theological
library which he has founded in the Inn
mediate proximity of Hawarden, provI-
ding 1t with hosiery where students
who desire TO study the theological hooks
may be boarded and lodged for sc or o5s
n week. st. Deiniols library contains on
Its shelves 10000 volumes, chiefly theologI-
cal. which have been weeded from Mir
Gladstones own library. and the institu-
ton has been endowed by him to some
$50, 600. 1t is the hobby OF his old age
and no theme of conversation ever aroused
the veteran SO surely as an allision TO 81
Deiniols, which has the Rev Mr. Drew
his son-in-law, as its warden and libra,
rian.
HIS CONVERSATIONAL POWERS.
1t is almost impossible 10 start any sinh
1ect of conversation in which Mr.. Glad
stone cannot more than hold his own
Admirals in the navy have told me how
amazed they have been when seated neyt
him at dinner they have ventured 20 raise
some question relating to the service Mr.
Gladstone. they said, always seemed to
know more about 1t than they did nj
least whenever II was question of sta It's
ties related to the number of strokes I'm
the fleet or the average height and weight
of sailors In the navy. There is a tradi-
ton to the effect that on one occasion
when NJ. Chevalier. the eminent French
economist, was invited 10 Downing street
TO breakfast. he came away sadly disa-
pointed, for MIR. Gladstone and Mr.. Bright

MORTON ANNOUNCES.
Men Are Quite Downhearted And
Hoping For Teller.

st. Louis. June 13.-The silver men
were early on the ground. and for the
first few days there has been consid-
cradle silver talk. Finally a confer
ence was proposed, but il was not
held, it being stated by nearly all
prominent silverites that until Sena-
tor Teller arrived there could be
nothing done and the silver forces
could not be organized.
Teller will probably be here tonight,
and there will be a revival of the sill
yer discussion. Western men have
been coming in during the day, but
they are not doing very much talk
ing. In fact they find the gold senti-
ment so strong that they have no hope
whatever of making any particular
showing i'm the convention.
Then they are finding that ma
jority of the Republicans from the
silver states will not bolt or leave the
Republican party if they do not get
what they want. In fact, the silver
fight does not assume very great pro-
portions in the face of the gold senti-
ment which is prevailing here.
Chauncey NJ. Depew arrived today.
from Gov. Morton:
please announce that | stated to
you before you left New York that l
would not under any circumstances
accept the nomination for vice-presi-
dent"
Depew will place Governor Morton
in nomination for president.
st. Louis, June 13.-Chauncey De-
pew had a conference with Platt soon
after his arrival in the city. He show
ed the New York leader telegram
from Gov. Morton announcing I'M
der no consideration could he be a
candidate for vice-president. After
conference Plat asked in case his
candidate. Governor Morton, was not
nominated for president, If New York
would present a candidate for vice
president. Il must decline to discuss
that subject as | have done during
the past. PLAT expressed the
opinion that the national committee
would place Morton delegates in con-
test on the temporary roll. He also
referred to the fact in one district the
contest against his men had been
withdrawn. He said there Is no rea-
son for making contest on the other
five districts. Mr.. Depew said that
there was no talk of boiling in the
New York delegation. There is an ef-
fort on foot to have the New YORK
contests postponed until Monday.
Some contestants have not yet ar
rived. and there are still some papers
to he received, hence the contention
that il is impossible to properly pre-
sent the case.

JEFF DAVIS MONUMENT.
The Committee On Design Ready To
Submit Their Report.

Richmond, Va, June 13.-The report
of the committee on design OF the Jef-
ferson Davis Monument association
has not yet reported. The monument
is being built under the direction OF
an organization which consists OF q
local association and a committee OF
the United Confederate yeterans-one
from each southern state. None OF the
latter were present at the meeting
called for last Thursday. The result
was that though the committee on
design was ready TO report and
though the local board had five prox-
les. authorizing them to vote for non
residents, it was decided that IT would
not be well for them to do so; Dut
that the report should be withheld
until Saturday, the 9th inst, on
which date another meeting OF the
two organizations will be held. Mean
while what the committee on design
has done with reference to awarding
the three prizes offered must remain
n secret. Indeed if it chooses to do so
il may on the 9th make recommen-
dations different from those 1t eX-
pected to make yesterday. Whatever
Recommendation it makes will be
subject to the approval of the two or
carnations Two of the committee OF
u. C. VS. wrote that they could not
come on here at this time ana then
come again at the reunion and so a
date was appointed for the next meet
ing which is only two days in advance
of the reunion.
However, the work preparatory to
the laying of the cornerstone III Mon
roe park will go on.

The Bafarteri Charges.

MAssowAH, June 13.-The in.
dictment brought against Gen.
Bararteri, charge him with hav-
ing inexcusably ordered an attack
upon the enemy's force in circun.
stances which, as the result proved,
rendered inevitable the defeat Of
his troops. and with having left
the chief command from 1890 on
March / to 9 o'clock on March 3,
thus producing a deadlock, and
with having failed to give any in
structions or orders to take meas
ures for the safety Of the army, and
for having caused the italian de.
feat. ....
On the last two clauses, IL con-
victed, Gen. Bararteri was liable
under the military rules to the
death penalty or long imprison-
ment.
There were extenuating circum-
stances urged in the mistake COM
mitted by Col. Alberton in prema.
turely delivering a general attack
and in the isolation OF the De Bor-
mida brigade. Extreme penalty
was not asked for.

AT ST. LOUIS.
NATIONAL REPUBLICAN COMMIT
TEE PROCEEDINGS TODAY.
More Mckinley OOntestees seated-At
the Rate of Progress Made Will be
Ready For the Convention.

ST. LOUIS, June 13.-Members of
the republican national committee
were not very prompt in getting
together today, after the long and
somewhat trying session OF yester-
day. Work was not begun until q
quarter past ten and there was
scarcely a quorum present then.
Immediately after rspping the
committee to order Chairman
Carter warned parties to contests
of the importance of being present
when their cases were being
called, in view OF the order made
yesterday, requesting that the
cases be presented in the order
called, whether the parties at in
terest were present or absent, ex-
cspt upon unanimous consent.
Mr.. Carter said 1t would, in order
to expedite business, be necessary
to strictly enforce this rule.
The Tennessee contests were
promptly taken up, the first con-
test presented being that from the
Sixth district of that state, which
includes the city OF Nashville. The
contestants were all Mckinley
men. The contest turned upon the
charge OF Irregularities in the
congressional convention, involv-
ing the conduct of chairman,
Cheatham, one OF the contestees,
having occupied that position. 1t
was asserted, on the other hand,
that the convention was entirely
regular and that the bolt had no
other excuse than that colored
mau was made chairman.
On motion Of Manley, j. B. Bos-
ley and H. l.. w. Cheatham were
seated.
From the Ninth district which
followed, David A. Num- and
Henry t. Austin were the dele
gates chosen by one faction, and
]. r. Walker and Robert II. Nc
Nelly those OF the other, the latter
two appearing as contestants. This
contest turned entirely upon the
alleged arbitrariness OF the chair
man of the district convention In
ruling for the unit rule from coua-
ties Notwithstanding there has
been no instructions from counties
to this OBJECT.
Num- and Austin were seated.
They are for Mckinley.
From the tenth Tennessee dis.
trict w. M. Randolph and Zachary
Taylor were seated.
South Carolina contests were
then taken up. The entire dele
CATION, including four delegates,
at-large and fourteen district dele
gates, contested. 1t grows out OF
the question of organization.

SHIP BATTERIES.
ADMIRAL WALKERS BOARD MAKES
A REPORT.
It Favors an Arrangement of Batteries
Different From Any Other, and
Modified Hull.

NEW YORK, June 13.-The re-
port Of the board on batteries of
battleships, OF which Admiral
Walker is president, has been
handed to the navy department.
The report shows that the board
considered with much care and in
great detail the whole subject Of
battle ships.
As result OF its investigation,
the board recommends slightly
different ship with a somewhat
different arrangement OF battery
from any heretofore built. While
speaking very favorable of the tur-
ret as designed for the Kearsage
and Kentucky, the board does not
recommend installing more tur-
rets of this description, until ex-
periments with the two ships
named have demonstrated their
utility.
The hull recommended for the
ship is like that of the Kearsarge
and Kentucky, but so modified as
to be similar in man respects to
the Iowa. The main battery rec.
commended is composed OF four
thirteen-inch and fourteen six-inch
guns directly ahead, two thirteen
inch and two six.inch directly
astern and four thirteen-inch and
seven six-inch broadside. 1t is be-
lieved by the department that the
ship of the line, as above, will be
an Improvement on any yet built
In the country. The secretary OF
the navy has approved the gen.
eral features OF the report OF the
board, and detailed plans will be
taken up without delay. The Sec
rotary has already decided upon
all the preliminary steps.

THE CASE STATED.
REFORM REPUBLICANS STRAIGHT
FORWARD EXPLANATION.
Are Seeking Only the Best Interests of
the Republican Party In the Great
State of Texas.

ST. Lo JUS, Mo-, June 13.-The
following letter was furnished
last night to each member Of the
national committee and relates to
the Texas case to be heard today
To the Republican National Committee:
"Gentlemen - The impression
having gone out that the "Mac-
Gregor" delegation from Texas
represents the strictly white re.
publicans of the party, we desire
to disabuse your minds of the
error, and declare the same entire.
ly false. The color line is not
drawn by our party, but on the
other hand it is drawn by the OPP
posing delegations from the Grant
and Quincy factions for the sole
purpose of prejudicing the north
ern delegate against US, knowing
that in this lies their only hope of
success. Our organization does not
now, nor never has advocated or
practiced the exclusion Of the
negro, but demands only that he
be Loyalty republican and that
said loyalty be shown by his vot-
ing for and working with the re-
publican party. ..-....
The necessity OF relieving the
party organization OF the condition
of double and treble delegations
from the south that now confronts
your committee and which occurs
at nearly all state and district con-
ventions in Texas and ct every
election, preventing republican
success, has made it necessary to
have some method of discipline
and some way of preventing the
color line being drawn by the
whites or blacks to accomplish
their personal ends.
For that purpose, and to insure
the control of the organization by
loyal republicans we recommend
ed proportionate representation,
separate primaries and mixed con-
ventions, believing that any pa
triotic republican would be will
ing to do whatever was essential
to build up the party in Texas.
In electing delegation to this
convention we eliminated the ques-
ton entirely, and are not asking
any endorsement OF the methods
OF discipline of this convention as
a separate primary feature is now
entirely unnecessary, as Texas has
passed law governing primary
elections which will remedy the
condition.
Therefore, having simply fol-
lowed the national call we are now
before this convention with
simple proposition of whether the
LOYAL republican organization Will
be recognized over one that is dis
loyal in county and district cleo
lions, and the majority OF whose
officers are democratic workers at
every election, and whose chair
man proposed to secure $l5O,OOO
from the "Powers that be" at this
convention, and who came here
with delegation divided on presi-
Dental cand;dates,re regardless OF the
welfare of the organization In the
state of Texas. Respectfully,
III. F. MCGREGoR,
Chairman Rep. State Elk. Com.
JAMES P. NEwCoMB, Secretary.

O. |. G. REPORT.
AS MADE BY GREEN TO THE RE0R-
GANIzATION COMMITTEE.
1t Shows a Difference Between Book
Values and Actual and Some
Bad Management.

NEW YORK, June l3.-The Her.
aid this morning says: The spe.
cial report on the condition OF the
Oregon Improvement company,
which was compiled by Thomas l..
Green for the reorganization COM
mittee, has just been issued. The
report estimates the actual assets
Of the company in actual use at S.
463, 233 and those with contingent
value at $2,l23,723, while che book
value is given as $lS,lS3,6S5.
The approximate income from
operations in 1895 was $40, 900, but
with the Inauguration of vigor-
GUS policy it should be possible to
bring the net income up to $780, 900
year, applicable to fixed charges
and dividends. He estimates the
cash requirements at 81, 100000.
Mr.. Green says that the Port
Townsend Southern railway never
paid operating expenses and that
it "was q wild scheme without any
business foundation" He does not
think that IL will be self-support-
ing for several years. He says that
the Seattle and Northern returns
to the Oregon Improvement com.
pany some revenue, but there Is
no likelihood OF its becoming val
liable. These two roads cost the
company 10000 in consolidated
bonds at heavy discount "upon
which as a whole no income has
been received" # a.
The Pacific coast Steamship COM
pany, which was originally pur-
chased in order to stop competi-
ton, does not make very favor
able showing. While the gross
earnings have been fairly well
maintained during the last six
years the earnings have dropped
from $5O7, 1884 in 1891 to $167 ,l22 in
1895 and the result OF the present
year will be much worse on ac-
count Of the rate war that has
been in progress.
1t is stated that, owing to the
pressure to pay interest on the
Oregon improvement 5 per cent
bonds, there has never been any
thing set aside from the earnings
for the depreciation OF the steam
ships. A large SUM is needed to
put them in condition and new
boats should be provided to take
the place of the old fashioned ones.
With careful management the
Pacific Steamship Co. will be prof
liable in the future. The Column
bia and Puget Sound railroad is
also valuable property. The coal
properties are valuable, but ex.
pensive to work, the cost per ton
on cars on Franklin mines being
$2.05. Nothing is said about in
creased profits on coal, because the
coal from British Columbia, which
is easier to mine, completes with
the domestic coal Notwithstanding
the duty Of 40 cents.
