REPUBLICANS ARE SPLIT.
Mr.. Addicks of Delaware Says There
VIII he No Compromise.

VIII he No Compromise.
Special Correspondence Of The Evening Star.
WILMINGTON. Del, August 81. 1896
1t Is now almost certain that the repub-
licans of Delaware will go into the COM
ing campaign with an irreparable breach
in their ranks. For several weeks past
the national committee has been negotiat-
ing with the leaders Of both the Addicks
and ant-AddickS faction with view of
effecting a compromise on the electoral
ticket, but their efforts to secure an ami
cable agreement between the waging fac
tions have proved fruitless. Chairman
Stansbury ]. Wiley OF the Addicks re-
publican state central committee, accom-
panied by Mr.. Addicks and several other
leaders of the Addicks faction, visited the
national committee in New York this week
and laid before them their side of the dis
pute. which has caused so much trouble III
Delaware in the last year. After listening
intently to them for more than hour Chair
man Hanna asked Mr.. Addicks If he would
not be willing to compromise a little bit
but Mr.. AddickS refused to yield an inch,
and the national committee was obliged to
withhold decision in the matter until
they could make a more careful investi-
CATION into the state of affairs existing
down here. To make this investigation it
is believed that certain members of the
committee will come to Delaware and GO
over the situation carefully without the
aid Of either faction.
Mr.. Addicks. who aspires to a seat in
the United States Senate from Delaware
Is delighted with the situation In an in
terview today, speaking of it, he said:
There will be no compromise Of any kind.
1t will be fight to finish. and am glad
of 1t. The time has come when the ma
jority of the republicans of Delaware will
say who will be their nominees. and who
will be their leaders. The Higgins faction
comprises but per cent of the republicans
of Delaware. The ticket named bv INV
friends at Dover is the only regular re-
publican ticket In tho field and IT will stav
there no matter which way the wind
blows. The national, committee has heard
our side of the question and I have no an.
prehensions that It wifi treat us unfairly.
We propose to go into this figh. to win
and we have every reason to believe thu.
we will carry Delaware this fall against
the democrats and the Higgins renubii
cans efA'ii
The Higgins republicans are preparing
for vigorous campaign against Addicks
They are just as, much determined to fieht
the thing out as Addicks and his friends
and although they favor a COMPROMISE for
the sake of saving the electoral ticket for
Mckinley. they are not disposed to ac-
cept the terms which Addicks offered.

the hilt is cooked into position, two

The Indian mango" trick, in which

Giving photograph THAT is to say,
Photographic images endowed with
movement and apparently with life. A
rose plant is photographed at intervals
during it's growth until the flower buds
and blooms The photographs thus
taken are combined by the cinemato-
graph and projected on a screen, so as
to represent the development Of the
plant in short time. The number of
photographs taken in six months should
be equal to the number which the SEN
sitive band of the cinematograph will
continue. Obviously the same plan will
be able to show the changing aspects Of
the country during the seasons in one

suggc-t that it might be employed with
advantage in illustrating various scien-
tific experiments and natural processes

How a Letter May Be Recalled.

The public is not as familiar with its
privileges about postal matters as might
be supposed, says the Boston Transcript.
Many times people would like to recall
a letter after it has been mailed. This
can be done, even if the letter has reach
ed the postoffice of it's destination. AT
every postoffice there are what are called
"withdrawal blanks On application
they will be furnished, and when de-
post is made to cover the expense, the
postmaster will telegraph to the post
master at the letters destination asking
that it be promptly returned. The APP
plicant first signs this agreement: 1t
is hereby agreed that, If the letter is re-
turned to me, / will protect you from
any and all claims made against you
for such return and will fully indemni-
fy you for any loss you may sustain by
reason of such action. And herewith
deposit g. to cover all expenses incur
red and will deliver to you the envei-
one of the letter returned. In many
cases persons have made remittances TO
fraudulent parties or irresponsible firms,
not learning their true character until
after the letter had gone, and have sue
ceeded in recalling them.

ELEPHANTS IN INDIA.
No Ono Allowed Co shoot Their without
Special Permission.

No One Allowed Co shoot The nm without
Special Permission.
Nobody may shoot an elephant, SAYS
the London Telegraph, on the Anna
mule or Tipperah hills or anywhere else
throughout Iudia and Ceylon without
permission unless il be "rogue, /"
or plainly dangerous and destructive.
The capture Of the wild elephant and
his careful training are things carried
out under an admirable and scientific
system, which gives to the administra-
tion in all its branches and to the native
courts superb staff Of massive and
faithful servants, the oommissariat and
artillery elephants.
Although they will seldom or never
breed in captivity, the grand creatures
are easy to keep and manage, invaluable
for many special purposes, and at their
demise whatever tusks they may carry 90
to the worlds stock of ivory The older
1T is the better generally its quality. But,
in any case, how senseless it seems to ex.
tirpate the living source of this beauti-
full commodity, as the reckless hunters
and ignorant native chiefs and mar-
chants are still allowed to do in central
Africal When shall we see the govern
ments of these various regions sensible
enough to perceive and proclaim that
live elephants are very much more valu-
able even commercially than dead ones,
and that the preservation of these state
ly and serivceable animals shall be
henceforward fixed policy for African
benefit?
1t has been truly remarked that di-
rectly The native and foreign hunters
are convinced that one live elephant is
worth dozens of tusks they will be as
keen to preserve the animal as they now
are to exterminate him. We might plead
earnestly, even upon the ground Of es.
theticism and natural science, for the
protection in future of the noble beast,
whose majesty and tranquility of mier
so well become his silent haunts and
philosophic, harmless existence. The
ears of those, however, who massacre
the innocent giant TO cut from him &C
or 80 pounds of material for paper
knives and shoe horns would be closed
to such Inconsistencies The best hope OF
all who understand the value Of the ell
ephant for Africa is that even the most
ruthless of his assassins may come tt
learn that they are destroying their OWL
markets. The rest is for official authori
ties to do. But certain it is that if de-
cided measures be not promptly taker
there will be no elephants to save and
we shall see in another continent the
shameful human sin and folly perpe
trated which has stripped America o.
every free living vestige of her noble
droves of bison.
