Colonel Watres, Candidacy.

The announcement Saturday by Sem
ator Vaughn Of ex-Lieutenant-Gover
or Watres' re-entry into the field as
candidate for the United States sena-
torship adds interest to an already COM
plcated situation. We say ''re-entry,'
because while Colonel Watres never
formally relnquised his senatorial as
pirations Of two years ago, his own sub
sequent actions and the talk of his
friends seemed to point to the conclu-
sion that he would not persevere in that
direction, at least for the present.
AS we understand Senator Vaughn's
announcement, Colonel Watres, upon
!, his return from Europe. will offer him.
self as a compromise candidate, and
while actively canvassing for votes on
his own account. will principally en-
deavor to cultivate such an attitude
toward all the more prominent candi-
dates that in the possible event Of a
deadlock, all may turn to him as an
acceptable solution of the dilemma. In
other words, his candidacy will be for
the greater part a contingent one, and
will depend for success on the failure
of either Wanamaker, Hastings or Pen
rose to secure a caucus majority.
The Tribune would chronicle with
pleasure the success of Colonel Watres'
compromise candidacy should COM
promise become necessary.

ST. LOUIS, July .S.-The Populist
committee on credentials was in session
all the afternoon after the adjournment
of the convention and during the
greater part Of the night. The Colorado
contest, involving the seats of the 45
delegates from that state was first con-
sidered and disposed Of. 1t resulted in
the seating of the Patterson or regular

Endorsement Of Sewall Very
Doubtful, With Chances
Against Him.
Opposition to Bryan Unable
to Get Together on a
Candidate.

ST.. LOUIS, July 2S.-The situation
points strongly to Bryan's Endorsement
or nomination. In fact the Bryan man
ayers declare that they are absolutely
certain that 80 far as the head Of the
ticket is concerned they are out of the
woods. But with regard to Sewall they
admit privately that there is grave
doubt and that there is now probably .
majority Of the convention against the
Bath shipbuilder. They are using all
their energies to prevent the complica-
tions that would follow an endorsement
of Bryan and the nomination Of q Popu-
list for vice president. The middle Of
the road" men cannot even get together
ON candidate for president. Debs is
their favorite, but the Bryan managers
say they have word that he will refuse
further use of his name. If a Populist
is not named for vice president there is
sure to be bolt of some of the South
ern delegations. But the Bryan man
ayers, it is said,
Would Welcome Such . BOLT,
if it come with victory Cor the whole
Chicago ticket. They claim that they
will undoubtedly control the committee
on permanent organization and resolu-
lions, as they have a majority Of the
state and territorial delegations. It is
their purpose, if they control, to frame
a platform along the lines of the Chi
cago platform with as few concessions
to the radicals as possible. For perma-
nent CT airman there is good deal of
talk Of both Senator Allen and General
Weaver, but the former desires to re-
main on the floor, and General Weaver
has been selected to nominate the silver
knight of the West. It seems probable,
therefore, that another will be selected,
perhaps Ex-Governor Lewelling or ex.
Congressman Davis of Kansas. The

MARIAN BEINGS.
II MAY Be That They Arc Race OF
Winged High Fliers.

n the attraction Of the earth were less
powerful, our winged tribes might have
received much greater development. IN
virtue of the unquestionable principle
known as "the struggle for existence"
these winged creatures, dominating all
others, would have been the strongest
Progress would have been effected along
this line. The superior race, the human
race, would have been winged race
These simple considerations, which 1T
would be easy to extend much farther, arc
enough to convince us that our human
form is essentially terrestrial and that the
Inhabitants of Mars cannot resemble us.
They are different.
Upon Mars, for example, one might sup
pose, without scientific heresy, that the
remarkable lightness Of their bodies may
have developed the winged race more high
" in the direction indicated and that the
inhabitants of this planet may have re-
oeived the privilege of fight
Does this amount to saying that, for
this reason, they must necessarily have
the form of birdsp No. The BATS are they
not mammals which sucklo their youngs
Is it saying, then, that we must imag.
inc them under this form? Not at all.
May they not rather be like dragon flies
fluttering in tho air above the lakes and
the canals?
As to this point we can imagine every
thing and prove nothing. tits even highly
probable that the reality is something alb
solutely different from all our terrestrial
conceptions
On the one hand the lightness Of the
Marian beings is favorable to their wing
ed constitution. On the other hand, how:
ever, the atmosphere is hardly we'll fitted
to sustain them. But still we recall that
terrestrial zoology furnishes instances OF
birds which are very heavy, such as the
condors and the vultures and these are
just the ones which fly highest in the most
rarefed regions of our atmosphere. They
have been observed even above the sum-
mits of the Himalayas, the Andes and the
cordilleras at elevations of from 5000 to
5000 meters $1,000 to 10000 feet), where
they can still soar freely, thanks to the
enormous spread of their wings.
Nor must we lose sight OF the fact
that human being weighing 70 kilo-
grams (154 pounds) would weigh no more
than 26 Kilograms (56 pounds) if trans
ported to the globe of Mars.-North Amer

THE SILVER CONVENTION,
Cut and Dried Programme Not Carried
Out.

Cut and Dried Programme Not Carried
Out.
ST. LOUIS July 23.-The silver con-
vention made little Roadway at the
first days sessions. The programme Of
the convention had been all arranged
in advance. It included simply the
adoption Of 16 to platform and the
nomination of Bryan and Sewall, but
those in charge Of it deemed it good
policy to go slow in the belief that they
might, by remaining in session, be able
to exercise an influence in shaping things
in the Populist convention. To this
end they appointed committee Of
seven, headed by Judge Scott OF Califor.
mia, to meet with similar committee
from the Populists for the purpose Of
reaching q common plan of action.
First Days Proceedings.
The convention was called to order
by J. J. Mott, chairman of the national
committee. Francis G.. Newlands of
Nevada was introduced as temporary
chairman and his speech on taking the
chair was loudly applauded. The usual
committees were appointed and q recess
taken to 4 80.
When the convention reassembled the
committee on credentials reported no
contests. The committee on permanent
organization recommended that w. p.
St. John Of New York be selected for
permanent chairman. The report was
received with cheers and adopted. Mr..
St. John was escorted to the platform
and read q prepared speech, which was
well received. A committee was then
appointed to confer with Populists in
an attempt to secure united action for
silver, and the convention adjourned.
The Silver Resolution.
The committee on resolutions of the
silver convention have agreed on a re-
port dealing with the money question
only. The plank declaring for free COIN
age is as follows:
We are unalterably opposed to the sim
date return to the constitutional standard
Of gold and silver by the restoration by
this government, Independently Of any
foreign power, of tho unrestricted coinage
of both gold and silver into standard
money at the ratio of 16 to l, and upon
terms Of exact equality as they existed
prior to 1873, the silver coin to be q full
legal tender equally with gold for all debts
and dues, public and private, and we
favor such legislation as will prevent for
tho future any kind Of legal tender money
| by private contract.

The possibilities of posthypnotic sugges-

Choice Of . Faction for Chairman, but
Was Afterwards Dropped.
ST. LOUIS, July 29.-The steering
committed of the middle of the road1'I
men met at the Texas headquarters as
soon as the convention adjourned
Twenty -four states were represented.
A number Of names were proposed for
permanent chairman, but it was finally
decided to choose Ignatius Donnelly of
Minnesota. A committee was ap-
pointed to wait upon Mr. Donnelly to
ascertain if he would accept. Mr.. Don
nelly said he shrank from the arduous
duties that would be imposed by such
IN important position and would have
preferred to remain a worker in the
ranks, but the Importance Of the pres
ent convention made it the duty Of
every man to bear his part. He there
fore informed the committee that he
would consent to be the candidate of
the middle Of the road men for per.
manent chairman.
Donnelly Bounced Later.
The "middle of the road men,
through their steering committee, took
action last night which will probably,
have very important effect on the
convention. Early in the evening they
selected Ignatius Donnelly for their
candidate as permanent chairman, and
sent q committee to notify him Of his
selection. MIR. Donnelly accepted, and
it was given out later the steering COM
mittee held another meeting and Sc
lected J. E. Campion Of Maine as their
candidate for permanent chairman.
The reasons given for substituting
Campion are that the Minnesota dele.
cation and the delegations which the
steering committee represented made a
great protest against Donnelly's selec-
ton, many declaring they would not
vote for him. It was also stated by the
members Of the committee that Don
nelly was possible candidate for presi-
dent.
