where he goes to attend the National
Democratic Convention. The full text OF
the Democratic platform adopted at the
New York State Convention at Saratoga
has not yet been received here, and there
fore Mr.. Belmont said its precise scope
could not be correctly appreciated.
If, however, as he believed, the platform
declared that the New York Democracy
protested ag ainst any further purchase of
silver by the treasury and against silver
coinage, otherwise than on the basis of an
international agreement, and that the
Democracy will do everything possible to
obtain and secure a fixed international
ralio between the two metals, and if it
has urged the cancellation of green backs
and treasury notes hereafter presented TO
the treasury and paid in gold, that utter
ance will, Mr.. Belmont is confident, COM
mand the appreciation of an overwhelm-
ing majority of the voters in every Eastern
State.
Mr.. Belmont said he had known quite
well, during his years in Congress, great
many of the Southern Democrats who are
pressing for the immediate free coinage of
silver at the rate of 16 to 1, and had also
met them four years ago at Chicago when
they contributed to the nomination of
Mr.. Cleveland. Mr.. Belmont did not be-
lieve that the Southern Democrats now
wished, or would tolerate, the disunion at
Chicago of the National Democracy.
1.-THE State of New York." continued
Mr.. Belmont, ''is now committed by both
of its party organizations to international
bimetallism and a worldwide bimetallic
par Democratic leaders, such as Tilden
and Manning, have favored it in the past
ana the Southern Democracy also. The
governor of the Bank of France told me
few days ago that France cannot and will
not consent to ratio of 16 to l. France
prefers 1511 10 1.
''If the National Democracy will at Chi
cago remain united, McKinleyism can be
crushed in November and fixed interna-
tional ratio for silver and gold put within
range of practical effort. Another McKin-
ley tariff can be prevented, the issue of
more Government bonds made unneces-
sary, the National credit upheld, our ex-
ports increased and the wages of working
men North and South not to be reduced to
a fifty-cent dollar. 1t cannot but be th at
rather than have disunion in the National
Democracy, as in 1860, the Southern Demo-
Gratis, with whom New York co-operated
in the 1892 election Of Mr.. Cleveland, will
consent to reasonable plan whereby free
silver coinage can be deferred until prac-
tical effort is made by a Democratic Pres1-
dent and Democratic Congress to obtain
fixed international bimetallic ratio"

The voting ended at midnight last night.
The committee appointed to make the
count then repaired to the Office of the
Chronicle Record where the arduous duty
OF counting the thousands of coupons con-
sumed two hours-hours full of anxiety
for the friends and workers of the several
rival beauties. AS the judge of the cleo
ton stepped forth and announced that
Miss Bessie Collins was the choice of Butte
County by 5000 majority loud were the
cheers from the gathered throng.
During the contest it was impossible to
guess the winner, as the other candidates.
Miss Katie Wertsbaugher and Miss Jennie
Clark-were supported by stanch friends.
First one and then the other would be in
the lead.
Miss Collins, now the Goddess of
Butte" is one of the most popular young
ladies of this county. She was in the con-
test for the Queen of May, and was elected
by a handsome majority as a maid of
honor to the Queen, whom she served well
during the May fiesta. Miss Collins is of
average height, graceful and well formed.
She is a blonde, with large blue eyes and
luxurient growth of wavy hair. She is a
graduate of '95 of the Chico State Normal
School, having finished her course when
but II years of age, passing as one OF the
highest in the class. Miss Bessie was born
on the Llano Seco rancho, of which her
father was for many years the superin-
Iendent, and has resided in Chico most OF
her life.

CHICAGO, Ill, June 26.-The SUBJ
committee on general arrangements, press
and telegra phlc facilities OF the National
Democratic Convention assembled at the
Palmer House at II o'clock to-day for the
purpose of further considering the matters
under its charge. Sergeant alarms Mar
tin was called in, and behind closed doors
the subcommittee discussed his an
nounced determination to make up his
list of doorkeepers ana all other sub
officials having control of entrances from
applicants outside the city. The commit
tee will probably sustain Colonel Martin
in the stand he has taken.
The following official notice was given
to The United Press for the general in
formation of the press:
"The committee on press and telegraphic
accommodations and facilities for the
Democratic National Convention will
make the assignments of seats on the
press platform on Tuesday, June 80, and
will submit the result of their labors to
the sub committee in charge of convention
arrangements at its meeting Wednesday
July 1. Immediately thereafter the news
papers will be notified of their assign
ments. S. 2. SHEERIN,
Secretary Democratic National Com
mittee."
Preparations are being made by local
Democrats to have delegations of the
Iroquois Club and other party organiza-
tions meet arriving State delegations to
the National Convention. Wherever dele
cations come in a body an effort will be
made to meet them at the station with an
escort consisting of a marching club and a
band Of music to accompany them to their
respective headquarters.
Chairmen of the delegations which have
decided to come in body should write or

kept the course clear under the recently
passed United States law. No b iat ex-
cept the referees boat and the crews of
launches were permitted to fol- w the
crews over the course. This regulation
gave the four crews perfectly clear course
and the water was undisturbed.
Ali the afternoon special trains from
New York and from Hudson River towns
rolled into the depots on both sides of the
river. All were packed with college en-
thusiasts and other people anxious to see
the great race.
The two undersized ferry-boats that ply
between Highland and Poughkeepsie
pushed their way through the waters with
passengers hanging on like flies. Crowds
blockaded the ferry-houses just before and
Immediately after the race. 1t was a
hot, perspiring crowd, but good-natured
withal.
When the crowd had finally distributed
itself along the grassy knolls by the river s
banks and filled the long observation
train the spectators themselves furnished
a marvellous addition of life and color to
the scene. The long train of fatcars,
packed with gayly costumed women and
men with hagS OF the dlfferent colleges,
presented Kaleidoscope mass of color
that was dazzling to the eye. The yachts
in the river were decked with bunting
from stem to stern, and each group of on
lockers along the shore stood out in relief
on the dark-green setting of the wooded
hillsides. The greatest gathering was
near the finish, for all wanted to see the
victors cross the line. Venturesome lads
climbed trees and some assembled from
rowboats to the stone piers of the bridge.
In all the crowd there was probably none
who did not have a good view of some
portion of the race, and grander strug-
gle has seldom been seen. When the
anxious crowds near the finish caught
their first glimpse of the crews they were
as four specks upon the water. Gradually

"Rah for Cornell"
Eighteen thousand people grouped upon
the picturesque banks of the Hudson with
the last rays of the setting sun casting
golden sheen upon the water saw the stall
wart eight from Ithaca win first onors
over Harvard, Pennsylvania and Colum-
bla. 1t was a great race. Probably no
prettier has been rowed before a greater
crowd in American waters. All conditions
of air and water were perfect. Not flaw
marred the contest from the crack of the
starters pistol to the crossing of the finish
line.
Cornell won by four lengths, in 10 20,
official time. Harvard was second, Penn
sylvania third and Columbia a poor fourth.
AS spectacular scene the race was one
long to be remem bered. The course, a four
mile stretch, straight as the crow flies, lay
near the west bank of the Hudson, and
was spanned by the great cantilever
bridge, the finish being one mile below
that structure and the start three miles
above.
The cloudiness of the morning had
given way to bright sunshine, and the
multitude which assembled on both banks
of the river and filed the decks of the
imposing feet of yachts, excursion steam
ers and pleasure craft of all descriptions
added brightness and color to the scene.
On every hand the flags, ribbons and
banners of the respective colleges were
seen. The crimson of Harvard and the
blue and white of Columbia the red and
blue of Pennsylvania and the red and
white of Cornell were waved from tugs,
steamers and from groups on the banks.
The steep slopes of the highlands on the
west bank, with the railroad track at their
foot, furnished excellent points for view
ing the race, and crowds of onlookers
ut ilized the natural amphitheater.
An observation train of forty-two cars,
with seats for $500 persons and every Sc at
occupied, pulled out of the Highland sta
ton and made its way to the starting
point just before the crews were sent off
1t started with the crews and kept abreast
of them all the way to the finish. 1t was
filed for the most part with college stu
dents or college graduates and ladies.
There were some notables on the train,
but while the race was on all hands
seemed to have lost all dignity and united
in mad chorus of yells for the different
crews. The shouts for Cornell drowned
the others and there was a flash of red and

white flags as the victorious crew crossed
the line.
Out in the stream, anchored IN line
from the three and one-half mile point
down to the finish there were over
100 yachts, excursion steamers and river
craft of every description. Their decks
were filled with spectators, and in the thick
cluster near the line there was danger of
serious accident.
The only mishap reported, however, was
q collision between the referees boat Hell
vetia and the Albany steamer Whitney,
resulting in hole in the latter's bow.
This occurred before the race and did not
interfere with either boat fulfilling her
duties.
The revenue cutters Manhattan and
Hudson and the police boats Walia Walla
and Susie, aided by auxiliary launches,

the colonel, "that there will be no pass
ing anybody into the convention hall
without ticket. By that I mean just
many and no more. At st. Louis there
were seats for 13,s00 At the Coliseum
here we can seat IL, 900, and tickets will be
given out for all those seats. No badges
of any kind will be honored without a
ticket, and if the President himself should
come up without the necessary card of
admission he could not get in until he had
one. Every precaution will be taken to
prevent persons getting into the hall who
have no business there. Even the ushers
will have to show their tickets.
1.-THE big room on the Sixty-third- street
side of the Coliseum will be used as re-
ception-room. Here the public can mingle
with the delegates as freely as desired.
The man who wishes to enter the conven-
ton hall, however, must run a gauntlet
even greater than at the st. Louis conven-
ton. There will be fifty or sixty door
keepers, assisted by details of police, to
preserve order. AS a man starts to en- ter
the hall he will pass between two door
keepers on the outside, who make him
show his ticket. Just inside another pair
will examine his ticket to sift out those
who are trying to work their way in with
out pasteboards and who have passed the
guards on the outside. Still further inside
two more will be stationed to tear off the
coupons, and then the ushers will take the
man in hand and find his seat"

1t is said that there is a man in England
who fooled group of well known scien-
lists. He was writer of African veldt
stories and the descriptions and incidents
were SO perfectly given that the tales ex-
cited much attention, and scientists
hunted up the author. They found an old
man who had never been out of England,
but who had absorbed Stanley's books.
Had he been dealing with Minnesota,
however, he could not have done it, for
