ing, and was heard simultaneously In
three or four different quarters, that Gov.
Morton had reconSidered his declination

1t were rendered him. For what purpose
this rumor was pat in circulation 1t is
difficult to say, but that it had purpose

the matter In any shape. I'VE are here,

Stamped as Lie by Depew.
Speaking of the rumor that Gov. Nor

place on the presidential ticket, Mr..
Chauncey Depew stamped it as wholly
without foundation.
1.-THE men," said he, who are using
Mr. Morton's name in this connection are
not his friends. They are trying to make
him ridiculous, and he resents 1t. He
would not accept the vice presidency under
any circumstances"
what would he do in the event that
the convention should nominate him by
acclamation?" Mr. Depew was asked
How often" exclaimed Mr.. Depew, i'm
patiently, must man say thing be-

every day and keep on saying it indefinite

that he would not accept the vice presi-

were broken, and the hostilites became
SO active that, finally, they had to be
suppressed by a platoon of police sum-
moned for the purpose. Several incipient
hand fights were stopped. with no more
damage to the participants than few
bleeding noses. Some Of the more OBJ
streperous individuals were expelled from
the lobby by the police. but this had little
effect upon the noisy, surging, vocieerous

resolutely in the matter and elected from

Look for Final Adjournment Thursday.
There was some talk Tuesday morning
of arranging the work of the convention
so as to have a final adjournment by Thurs
day. and 1t is understood that several
special trains have been ordered for Fri
day morning with that prospect in view.
Mark Hanna, the business manager OF
the Mckinley branch of the convention
Gf not of the entire affair.", is credited with
the programme by which this is to be car
red out. The committees on credentials
and on resolutions were appointed Tues
day and are to hold continuous sessions
by day and night until they are prepared
TO report. The report of the committee on
credentials is to be adopted by the conyen-
ton in the most summary and speedy
manner, and then the way will be clear
for the presentation of the platform, which
the committee on resolutions Is expect
ed to have ready by that time. One day
is supposed by Mr.. Hanna to be sufficient
time for discussion and action on the
platform, and then only few matters OF
minor Importance will remai7 to be dis
posed OF.
In confirmation OF the probable truth OF
this report, it is stated that the special
car in which ex-senator Platt came to
ST. Louis is ordered to be in readiness
for leaving here by Thursday night or
Friday morning, and also that Mr.. Hanna
has stated confidentially that he expects
to leave here by Friday evening. But
of course, mere desires and intentions
avail little against serious obstacles, and
the obstacles in this case will come from
two sel1-opposing forces-the advocates OF
the "gold Standard" and the men who
will be satisfied with nothing less than 9

The Currency Question.
THE present currency SYSTEM" contin-
ued the chairman, sis the fruit of repub-
lican wisdom. 1t has been adequate to
all our past necessities, and if interrupted
will meet our future requirements. Our
greatest prosperity was attained when
republican currency laws were in full
operation. When the republican party
was IN power our currency was good; 1t
was made as good as the best on the globe.
We made sound money; and we also made
an honest protective tariff to go with 1t.
Sound money and honest protective tariff
go hand in hand together, not one before
the other.
THE republican party has not been I'M
friendly to the proper use of silver. 1t has
always favored and favors to-day the use
of silver as a part of our circulating
medium, but it favors that use under such
provisions and safeguards as shall not i'm
peril our present national standard.
"rhe republican party, desiring fairly TO
secure a larger use OF silver, pledged Itself
in favor of an international agreement.

There is movement on foot to unite

What Senator Butler Thinks ao Thinks.
Senator Marion Butler Of North Caro-
lima 10 the proud poasessdr Of q powerful
mind which evolves great gobs Of fnan-
cial wisdom. Not satisfied with making
five speeches . week in congress and
grinding out cheap money editorials for
his weekly Populist paper. the Tarheel
statesman writes piece in The Arena
magazine which he calls "Why the
South Wants Free Coinage" It il q
truly original and brilliant Populist ar-
gument and IL about a. clear and con-
vincing q . statement Of the reasons
"Why the west wants free grasshop-
pera or "Why the north wants tree
lunch. !"
According TO Senator Butler, ''the
south wants the free and unlimited
coinage Of silver ON equal terms
with gold, a. It wal before 1873, be-
cause this would make twice as much
money a. II gold alone or silver alone
were coined In full legal tender dollarA I"
Since nobody proposes 10 take away the
legal tender quality Of the 422, 600. 600
silver dollars already coined this does
not apply 10 existing conditions and il
therefore no reason Tor the south favor
ing free silver. Besides, the implication
that tree coinage would make twice as
much money as we have under the gold
standard simply is not true. II Senator
Butler and his l0 to friends had had
their way, the country would at once
drop to q silver basis This would Inn
mediately drive ont Of circulation our
$685.. 600. 600 In gold, leaving rs with
less than half Of the money we have
now. How would that help the people
in the south who say they want more
money? Perhaps Senator Butler realizes
that silver monometallim, which would
inevitably be the result Of his free silver
scheme, would decrease our stock Of mon
ey instead Of increasing it So he goes
ON to explain that III the free coinage

How Insects Breathe.

Take any moderately large insect and
examine it closely. You will observe, even
with the naked eye, that tho body Is
pierced with number of holes, usually
from IS to 90 In number. These minute
openings are the aperturcs through which
air Is admitted TO the system, and they are
generally so wonderfully perfect that no
extraneous mater Of any kind can possibly
effect an entrance. Sometimes these holes
are furnishd with u delicate pair Of horny
clasps, which chp be opened and closed at
the will of the insect In other cases-this
class Is far more numerous = they arc
fensely fringed with stiff, interlaclng
bristles, which form q filter that admits
nothing but air. This bristle filter Is SO
perfectly yet so delicately made that 1t has
been found absolutely impossible to force
even such % subtle fluid as spirits of vino
through 1t. These apertures or breathing
holes' communicate with two largo tubes,
which extend along the entire body of tho
insect, furnishing fresh air to the whole
system. Beside these two main tubes,
there are innumerable delicate branches,
which run in all directions through the
inseot's body, continually dividing and
subdividlng until wonderful network Is
the result This mechanism allows air to
penetrate into every fiber Of the insects
