A BANKER SHOT.
The Work of Bold and Unsuccessful
 Crook

NEW YORK, June 15.-George H. Hyckoff, president of the Bank of New Amsterdam, was shot in the abdomen and side this afternoon while in his private office, by Clarence Clark.
 Clark demanded money and meeting with a refusal fired two shots, then turned the pistol on himself. Both men are now at the hospital in an un- conscious condition. When Clark gained access to Wyckoff's office he presented the following letter written on HotelMarlborough paper, in clear, legible hand: 'fWe want $6,0OO; five one thousand dollar bills and ten one hundred dollar bills. Will shoot you if you make movement, so be careful. My partner outside also has you cov- cred and if you give the alarm within three minutes after I leave he will throw a stick of dynamite through the front entrance. Put the money in an envelope. Don't talk" The shots were heard by patrolman, who ran into the bank building.

THE EVE OF THE BATTLE
(Continued From First Page.)

to feel that they are placing Mckinley in a hole, insisting that an emphatic gold declaration be made. Their pro- gramme is to force their fight in the committee on resolutions, and if they cannot win in the committee, to carry it to the convention Lodge, Reeds manager, is to lead the fight for gold.
 General Grosvenor of Ohio said this morning: we know there is great effort being made to force certain form of declaration. The probabilities are no one will know what the finan- cial plank will be until the committee on resolutions reports; it may be the fight as to the form of the resolution will be carried to the convention. The financial plank will be what we want, and that is all there is to it"
 The silver men were at first disposed to aid the ultra gold men in securing the straightest kind of declaration, but there is an indication they are not quite so enthusiastic in that direction as at first There are some who seem anxious to make a dramatic exit from the convention hall, on the platforms s acceptance, but a count up to date finds a number of waverers and the probability there would be repre- sentative of all delegations left on the floor makes the proposed gyand-stand play seem a little doubtful as to it's effect.

BROKEN WIRE.
How the Telegraph Operator Tells Where
 the Break Is Located.

the Break Is Located.
 Perhaps the greatest of all mysteries. to the uninitiated, about telagranhy is the fact that when wire is broken or damaged the operator, sitting i'll his office. can tell exactly where the acci- dent has occurred
 The explanation, however. is very simple. 1t requires force to send elec- tricity through wire, just as it does to pump water through 6 hose. The longer the wire is the greater is the force required. This force is meas ured; but. instead of calling it pounds, as in the measuring the pressure in a boiler, electricians call the units of elec- trical force "ohms.'
 Suppose wire between two offices is 150 miles long, and that, on stormy night, it gets broken somewhere. The telegraphist knows that when the wire was sound it takes just 2.0oG ohms to send current through. or II ohms per mile. He now finds that he can send q current wilh only T00 ohms. He di- vides 700 by II. and finds that the break in the wire is 50 miles from his end.
 When the wire is under the sea a cu- 'ious thing happens. The electricity

ARE READY TO BOLT.
Silver Republicans Will Not Stay With
 the Convention.

ST. LOUIS, June 15.-Delegates from the silver producing states have not yet held a formal conference. There have, however, been several informal meetings at which the programme to be pursued by the radical silver forces has been sufficiently discussed to no longer leave a doubt it is their inten- tion to bolt the convention in case their demands for free coinage of sil- yer are not accepted They have de- cided, however, to go out without any display.
 Before they take their departure a resolution will probably be offered pro- viding for the coinage of the American silver product, but while the men from the silver-producing states will sup port this in lieu of absolute free coin age, it will not be offered by one of them, but probably by a delegate from non-silVer producing state.

A lawyer residing in the north of England and noted for his laconic style of expression sent the following terse and witty note to a refractory client. who would not succumb to his reiter- ated demands for the payment of his bill: "sir, if you pay the inclosed you will oblige me. If you do not shall oblige you.''

THE VICE-PREsIDENCY.
There Are Many From Whom tC
 Choose the Nominee

ST LOUIS, June 15.-It is generally admitted that the large number of vice-presidential candidates will neces- sitate an adjournment after the nomi- nation of a presidential candidate and consequent delay in the convention. The New York delegation has given up hopes of securing a favorable answer from Governor Morton, but will urge him if Mckinley is nominated to ac- cept.
 The Mckinley people busted them selves today with the names of two customers, Chauncey M Depew and Warner Miller. Depew would be ac- ceptable to both New York factions, but Miller would not. It is the general view that the vice-presidential nomi- nation shall go to the east.

AN ARMENIAN KILLED.
Curious Cause of Death at the Congress
 Camp.

Sunday morning a little funeral in Phoenix marked the closing act of a little tragedy brought from Congress. The corpse was that of Joe Hyder, an Armenian, who once kept little Turk ish goods store on Center street, oppo- site the Commercial hotel, but who has for several months run a general store at Congress in connection with com patriot, Sroor Hyder always slept with revolver under his pillow, his cot being in the rear of the store.
 Shortly after midnight Saturday flames were discovered in the store. The door being broken open the blaze was discovered to come from Hyder's cot, and the occupant lay on the floor near the door shot through the body
 An inquest by the local justice de- veloped the fact that the man had un- doubtedly accidentally shot himself, some movement of his on the cot caus-

WHY ENGLAND IS GREAT,
Native Offers an Explanation-Britain'
 Naval Superiority.

Naval Superiority.
 How was it that kalf an island over which Queen Elizabeth ruled developed into the worldwide empire over which Queen Victoria reigns? First and fore most, says Blackwood's Magazine. it must be referred to the qualities Of the race. their energy and adventurous. spirit, their capacity to coon;ze. to ruls subject races, and to administer tl.ail affairs. That race was sprung of sue cessive seafaring invoders of these is lands who were trained for generation, in the arduous defense of these shores. and taught to achieve naval superior ity as a necessity of their position.
 As early as Edward III. the sover eighty of the narrow seas was asserted, and conceded as a matter of course by the people of the low countries. As centuries rolled on, the insularity of our position became more marked as our possessions, in Europe dwindled away. The drill sergeant. who is the artificer of German fortunes. has had no ascendency in these islands, whose preoccupations have rot risen from mil itary empires on their boundaries. Naval superiority has been the guarantee of our shores. and at the same time the foundation of an empire which has grown mp beyond the seas. The same qualities which achieved ordered liberty at home spread commerce, settlements and empires abroad.

Our Grandnothers Were Not All We
 Have Been Told.
 The young woman of the present generation who ventures to have a headache or nerves is immediately confronted by indignant critics with her grandmoth Il the grandmother is living the fact of her continued ex- iStence is made to tell, and if she sleeps with her fathers her grandchild is con- fronted with her ghost, the ghost is en- dowed with as many eXcellencies as those with whom Betsy Trotwood en- lowed the niece who never was born. And as poor David Copperfield was re- preached with the virtues of his i1nag mary sister, so the granddaughter of the period is reproached with the ghost " perfection of her grandmother, who never had 3 headache-at least accord ing to tradition-but who, on the con- trary, was model of physical perfec- tion. When it comes to the testimony of those who saw the grandmother in flesh - that is another story" Abbe Robin, chaplain in Rochambeau' $ army during the revolution, wrote of American women in 17S2: "They are tall and -proportioned, their feat ures are generally regular, their con- pleXions are generally fair and without color. At 20 years of age the women have no longer the freshness of youth. At 35 or 40 they are wrinkled and de- crepit."
 And Chevalier Louis Felix de Bear vour, after praising the beauty of the American women to the skies, says: At the age of 25 their form changes, and at 30 the whole of their charms nave disappeared" These observers were not mere nasty travellers, but had lived here for years, and their verdict IS that the women of nearly 100 years tgo showed a fragile beauty and early lecline which this end of the century damsel, with her athletic record and her prolonged youth, would scorn.
