six New England states have delega-
ton consisting of 81 members. A spe-
cial train will run from Boston for their
accommodation. Special trains have
also been engaged to run from New
York, Chicago and st. Louis. The
western delegation will leave Chicago
together under this arrangement, and
ST. Louis will in the same manner be
made a place of rendezvous for the
southwestern delegation.
AS the date of meeting approaches
the issue which now divides the party
is becoming more sharply defined. In
common with the republican and demo-
cratic parties, that of the prohibition
lists is split on the financial question.
This is the chief cause of the division
into ''narrow-gauge" and broad-gauge"
prohibitionists-the former favoring =
single issue, prohibition, pure and sim
pie, as the policy of the party, unlike
the latter, which consists largely of
free silver advocates, who contend that
the platform should cover all the lead
ing political issues. While the triumph
of the "narraw-gauge" men is not abso-

dicted by persons well informed on the
situation.
The two men who lead respectively
the "narrow-gauge" and the broad
gauge" advocates are John G. Woolley,
of Chicago, and John P. ST. John, ex-
governor of Kansas. Mr.. Woolley is
widely known as an earnest worker in
the ranks of the Christian Endeavors,
and as an accomplished orator. Every
reader, it is probable, has general ac-
quaintance with the somewhat erratic
career of Mr.. st. John. Both these gen.
tlemep have declined in advance pos
sible nomination for the presidency. In
characteristic letter addressed to
personal friend, Mr.. Woolley says: 81

himself at liberty to leave the prohibi.
ton party when, by SO doing, he can
better serve the single purpose of his
public life. This purpose he defines to
be, Ito mobilize the voting church in
American politics upon the logic Of
common honesty that cannot help
thinking and will not lie."
There is abundant latitude of choice
for the practically barren honor Of be-
ing the presidential candidate of the
party. A name prominently mentioned
on the "narrow-guage" side is that Of

one of the leading merchants of that
city, and is otherwise prominent on ac-
count of his interest in many local char

NEWS OF THE WEEK.
Cleaned By Telegraph and Mail.
PERSONAL AND POLITICAL.

PRESIDENT CLEVELAND and his ad.
visers, it was learned on the 27th,
were strongly opposed to the house
bond bill, and this feeling caused Sec
rotary Carlisle to write to Chairman
Dingley on the subject. Aside from
the very important objection that the
bonds are to be redeemed in coin in
stead of gold, as recommended by the
president, it was understood that the
requirement that the bonds be sold by
subscription meets with disapproval.
The experience of the government, it
was said, with sales by advertisement,
showed the Intellectual character of
this means Of protection to the gold
reserve.
A New York dispatch on the Goth to
the London Daily News said that it
was rumored that the secretary of
state had sent a private telegram to
Lord Salisbury assuring him that the
passage of the Venezuelan boundary
commission bill was not to be con-
strued as a hostile act.
THE reported important battle be-
tween the Spaniards under Campos
and the insurgents at Coliseo planta-
ton in Cuba, does not appear to have
been very severe engagement. The
fighting took place amid burning cane,
and was Of the usual guerrilla nature.
1000 shots must have been fired. As the
insurgents succeeded in accomplishing
their object, holding the Spaniards in
check willie the Cuban army pushed
on southwark, the result was really
a Cuban victory. Much anxiety was
felt at Havana on the near approach
of the insurgents to that place.
THE full extent of Manitoba's reply
to the dominion government on the
separate school question was made
public on the Goth. The Manitoba
government positively refused the pro-
posal to establish a system of separate
schools in any form.
A SPECIAL to the New York World
from Washington on the 25th said that
the president had rendered places on
the Venezuelan commission to Edward
j. Phelps, of Vermont, eX-minister to
England, and Robert Il. Lincoln, of
Illinois, eX-minister to England. Their
acceptance had not been received and
the third place on the commission
would not be filed until Mr.. Phelps
and Mr.. Lincoln accepted.
THE Mexican press gives support to
President Cleveland, who has become
immensely popular in that country.
One paper declared that he had the

behind him.

orders had been given at the Wool
witch and Davenport arsenals for

point than in any of the last 90 years.
and in only two years since 1865 has so

miles Of track were laid in 1895. In
the eight years since that time the de-
crease in construction has been great
and continuous, and this year the total
built was only about 100 miles more

THOMAS A. EDISON thinks that Amer
lean inventors could devise engines of
destruction sufficient to destroy any
hostile British feet that came over
here. He said that an aerial dyna-
mite torpedo that could be steered
might be constructed. 1t would not
be necessary to strike the ship when
dropped. The very force of the con-
cussion within two miles of the ship
would SILVER her. A handful of men
could sweep away an army, the de-
structive power being found in cleo.
tricity. American inventive genius
would soon supply what the army and
navy of the country lacked.
