AT THE CAPITAL.
of Lii Hung Chang at WASH
ington.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Sept. S-Viceroy Ii
Hung Chang enjoyed himself in the ma
tons capital There was no formal cere-
mony over the arrival of the viceroy in the
capital city, except that squadron of cav
airy from fort Myer was at the station to
escort the procession of carriages in
which the viceroy and his suite rode to
the hotel up Pennsylvania avenue. General
Ruger. as the personal representative of the
president, is the special escort of the
viceroy and he came with him on the train,
and will have charge of his official enter
tainment here, which is to consist, ap-
parently, chiefly of sightseeing around the
city. and probably a trip to Mt. Vernon, since
the viceroy desires to see the tomb of Wash
ington, as he saw the tomb of Grant.
The only entertainments in the viceroy's
honor was private dinner of 80 covers, by
his friend ex-secretary Foster at the Airing
ton hotel general Fosters house here being
closed for the summer, when he gathered to
meet the viceroy the few members of the
cabinet and prominent members of the dip
lomatic corps who are here, with leading
officers Of the army and navy, and few
other high officials, and a luncheon given
by the Chinese minister at the Chinese lega-
tion, at which there were no outside guests.
The only interesting incident in viceroy
Lis arrival was the refusal of four Irish
policemen to carry the viceroy in his chair,
the long distance from the train to his car
riage at the station. When the train came
in and one of his retainers requested that
four policemen should be assigned for this
work, the lieutenant In charge of the police
police squad asked if any of the men
would volunteer, and they all refused.
The lieutenant did not order them to
do it, and the major and superin
tendent Of police, when asked about it, said
that such work was not in the line of the
policeman's duty, and that no request had
been made of him by t he government Off
GERS for such detail of officers.
Learning of the refusal of the policemen
to carry the viceroy, GeorgeW. Boyd, as
sistant general passenger agent ofthe Penn
sylvania railroad, who accompanied Lii,
directed four Pennsylvania railroad porters
to carry the chair, which they did. At the
hotel, there was no one to carry the chair,
but the distance from the carriage to the
elevator being short, the yiceroy walked
feebly In before the three or four thousand
people standing In the wet to see him arrive

An inventor proposes to utilize the
compass OF ship to warn the navl.
gators of the approach of danger. He
has constructed a compass which is
regulated by chemical which will not
be affected by the magnetic force on
board the ship, but will be keenIy
sensitive to minute symptoms from
any other magnetic influence exerted
at distance from the vessel up to
possibly two miles. This compass
when affected by the magnetism
osclllates about an eighth OF an inch,
SO the inventor asserts. When it is
so affected the metal connections on
the rim of the dial plate will close a
circuit, causing the bells to ringin the
engine-room as we'll as in the pilot
house and on the bridge.

We assert the necessity of such intelligent
currency reform as will conflne the govern

an Ideal One.

OF America-the national democratic party
as they officially call Observation-Disclosures
It's business, by nominating general John Me-
Auley Palmer OF Illinois for president, and
general Simon Bolivar Buckner Of Kentucky
for yice-president.
These are two sturdy old men. Palmer,
who Is now United States natOr. is a
former governor OF Illinois. a friend of Lin
coin, and a soldier known to every man who
shouldered musket in defence OF the
Union. Buckner is one of the picturesque
soldiers of the South, a former governor of
Kentucky, aud confederate soldier famous
in the annals of the late war. Both men
were born in Kentucky
The nomination of general Palmer over
that grim old warrior general Bragg of
Wisconsin, was brought about by a combina-
tion of the middle western states. to whose
wishes the northern and eastern delegates
deferred. Gen Bragg's early record of hav-
ing voted for the Bland-Allison act and his
rather free-handed conyiviality initiated
against him.
On the roll call Of the states to nominate
a candidate for president, general Palmer
had 1863 l-2 votes, and general Bragg 1lS l-2.
This announcement, however, was never

SENATOR JOHN M. PALMER.
Notable Characteristics of Candi-
date of National Dem. PARTY,

NEW YORK, Sept. s-Senator John Nc
Auley Palmer, who will soon enter upon his
S0th year, has always classed himself as a
democrat. AS a matter of fact, this is the
third time he has revolted from strict party
and independence of thought
His political career has been an eventful
and striking one. In 1868 he was elected
governor of Illinois on the republican ticket,
and in 1888 was defeated for the same office
as a candidate on the democratic ticket. In
1891, he was elected United States senator.

questions and propose to be heard.
Nothing has been 50 disgusting

man during the last few years as
this indifferent, sleepy, snoring

When a man had the courage
ard craftsmanship to come out and
make an open fghtzon any ques-
ton in which the rights Of the
people we're arra1ed against the
oppression of vast aggregations Of
wealth, the people went to the
primaries in a se1ni-somnambulls-
tic sort of way while the shrewd
corporation tools turned all their
forces against him through the
subsidize press and othe rwise and
knocked him out at the convention
and placed a man Of their own at
the party helm, relying upon the
voters prejudice to carry him
through after being nominated,
This party prejudice is the rock

U TREATMENT.

About the cruelest political trick
we ever heard Of was played on
our old fellow pencil pusher,
Frank P. Williams, Of Hill City at
the primaries held at that precinct
for electing delegates to the late re-
publican convention. Night after
night the ex-Journalist had prac-
ticed on a goldlbug speach in an
old vacant room in that place,
which he intended to deliver at the
county convention and knock the
free silver arguments gally west.
But alas some venomous s~ilverite
got onto his trail and imagine the
chagrine of the Demonstheness of
Harney's Peak when the vote was
counted he had but two voves for
DELEGATE to the convention. No
being able to deliver the load Of
political poison it has soured on
his stomach and his friens fear the
result as at this time there are
symptoms of "Politlco Populi Tu-
hurcules."
