THE NATIONAL CONVENTION.

THE Republican national convention
will consist of 918 delegates, and 46O
will therefore be necessary to choice.
Of this number it is claimed by the
Chicago Tribune that 564 are either i'll
structed for or are favorable to McKin-
ley, and that SO are for Reed, 81 for
Morton, Sc for Quay, Al for Allison,
Is for Bradley and SO uncertain. All
the delegates having been elected it
appears that Mckinley can lose over
100 from the Tribune's estimate and
still have enough to insure him the
nomination on the first ballot. Re-
garding contests the Milwaukee Senti-
mel is authority for the statement that
including the contest over the seating
of twelve delegate from New York, the
title to the seats of 116 delegates is dis
puted. There are twenty contests in
Alabama, eight in Florida, ten in
Georgia, two in Kentucky, two in
Pennsylvania, ten in South Carolina,
four in Tennessee, six in Virginia, six
in Arizona and thirty in Texas. OF
these sixty-eight are against Mckinley
men, but in some instances Mckinley
men are fighting Mckinley men SO
that result will not be affected no mat
ter how the contests are decided.

oRcHARD1NG IN THE COLD NoRr1

One of the great disappointments to
many who undertake orcharding as q
business is the appearance, more or less
extensively, of both insects and fungi,
which disfgure and prey upon the trees,
the foliage and the fruit. Many a man
who has found small or moderately large
orchard thrifty and profitable, especially
while young, has found his calculations
all overthrown and his expected profits a
minus quantity when he attempted to ex-
tend the area of his operations in the same
or similar lines. In my own case think
I may regard nay tedious and apparently
discouraging efforts, extending now over
thirty years, really an advantage to me
from many points of view. The fact that
everybody around me either rediculed or
deplored what rightly enough appeared
to them ignorant or cOnceited folly had
the effect of making me ''go slow''-giv
ing most of my early efforts to market
gardening, and only what might be allied
my leasure hours to the planting and
study of the tree fruits-which was decid-
eddy for my advantage. My first ten
years experiences were very much what
was told to expect. But here and there
a CLEAN of success, aud step forward, in
one line or another, kept up my hopes.
A realizing sense, constantly increasing,
Of the immense boon which a full success
would be not only to myself, but to a
whole vast territory, including more
than half of New England and the whole
of Lower Canada and New Brun ,wick
(which were almost tree fruits and de-
pendent upon outside sources for supplies
Of so wholesome and necessary class of
food), was powerful stimulus. I would
not have it thought that I was alone in

this work, for while in Northeastern
Vermont hope seemed to have quite de-
parted, there was still some life and q
feeling OF partial encouragement In the
milder climate along the banks Of the st.
Lawrence, with the fruit growers of which
locality l soon became acquainted and to
some extent cooperative. But it was
not until we had availed ourselves of the
resources of NOrtheas ern Europe, and
had imported and widely tested the tree
fruits OF that region, that we could look
upon our position as successful orchard
lists with entire confidence. And now,
having fairly solved the main problems
of the situation, we find ourselves, as
time goes on, meeting the other difficult
ties attending upon q proper care and
good judgment in the managing of or
chards. 1t is in this that the worst fail
ures are seen all over the country. The
fathers plant and bring to thrifty fruition,
nothing remains for them but to gather
and carry to market. The results of this
unfortunate view of the matter are to be
seen extensively all over our country,
and are now already beginning to appear,
even in these newer orchards Of the cold
North. For lack of proper care and in
telligence on the part of those interested,
a large number of trees will soon suffer
almost beyond help, unless some thorough
warning can be given through the press.
And the worst point of all is that so few
OF our younger men can be interested in
work of this class. These young men,
or many of them, willingly work for
many hours over a fine colt (and am far
from complaining of them for that,
while no inducements will draw their at
tention and interest to the needs Of an
equally fine but perishing orchard, the
net income of which, under reasonable
care, would very far exceed all that in
these days of steam and electricity is
likely to be derived from any equine in
vestments. This am happy to say, is
not personal wall; but it is the result
of observation wherever I 60. A really
well kept orchard is hard to find, and
there seems to be something very wrong
in such situation, especially now that
the worst discouragements have been sur
mounted in the testing and selection Of
varieties. With intelligent energy ap-
piled to the work, there are scarcely any
portions of our cold North, nor of in
habited Canada, which need to lack an

bridge into the Victoria Arm, carrying
scores of human beings to their death
The number dead will not he known

tuL ity to escape. However, when his
body was recovered there seemed q pos
sibiiity that he might be resuscitated
and two dOctOrs worked with him for
thirty minutes before giving up hope.
The scene around the place where the
accident occurred has been simply
heartrending all the afternoon. Strong
men mingled their cries and tears
with those of hundreds of women and
children, at the distress of those who
were uncertain of the whereabouts of
some relative or dead friend, was equal
to that of those who wept over some
lifeless form. Many bodies that were
recovered were quite as natural as in
life, but others were crushed and dis
tOrted till the very sight of them made
one sick. Some were even mutilated
beyond recognition by the cruel tim
bers and rods of the broken cars, and

that it is hers.
Some bodies were taken out seated
naturally on the bicycles on which
they sat on the tram-car, some were
wedged between timbers and crushed
and some were seated in carriages
which had been carried down by the
15O-foot span of the bridge that gave
way. The bridge has long been con-
sidered unsafe, and one Of the city
councilmen only last week declared
that it ought to be condemned.

reported during the afternoon as

up all right. Among these was James

upon further inquiry, Learned that
they are already promising to destroy
crops near Buford, where there are vast
armies of them. The gentleman upon

was very much unconcerned about
chinch bugs He did not at first know
he had them, although he said there
were few on one field in early spring.
Upon entering the field-which was in
wheat-we found that they had been
undisturbed during the Matching period
and were now ready for green pastures
as they seemed to hurry across the field
which they had already greatly injured,
if not ruined, suggested sending some
of them for incubation of fungus (Spor.

very willing to have me send to the Ex.
pertinent Station for it.
II your neighbours field is swarming
with chinch bugs, and no effort is being
made to check them, you certainly would
like to keep them from moving upon
your own fields. They will perhaps
leave the wheat fields for the corn upon
the first row of which, after entering the
field, they are sure to combine attacks.
You can keep them ont by plowing
three or four deep furrows near the edge
of your field. Keep them open, or, if
necessary, fill old ones and plow more.
The bugs will fall into these bitches and
few will pass over the third ditch or

incessant labor. The exposition" is
eight feet high, and six feet wide and
contains three hundred figures of people,
doing all manner of work and enjoyed
in all manner of amusements. The mo-.

most striking things are the assassination
of Jesse James, Peck's Bad Boy, three
scenes from the tragedy of Pearl Bryan,
the last drink, the fatal cab ride, the
headless body as it was found near Fort
Thomas, two trains running at full
speed, a number of picturesque scenes, a
flowing fountain, running streams and
miniature lakes. The Exposition" lie

surpass anything of the kind heretofore
made. The drulnmers unite in saying
that no where have they ever seen any.
