HON. s. M. TAYLOR.
His Speech Before the Chicago Con-
 vention.

During the second days proceed vention at Chicago, the Hon. $. M. Taylor, of this city and a delegate from the Second Congressional Dis trict, delivered the following brief speech in support of the majority re- port of the Committee on Creden- tials, of which he was q member. in the Michigan contest. The report of his speech is from the Chicago Chron- icle. MT. Taylor spoke as follows:
 MT, Chairman and Gentlemen of the Con ention:-According to my judgment, as a member of the Committee on Credentials Of this great National Democratic Convention. sitting on the trial of this controversy as a juror, intending to do and vote, as l see it, for the right derived from the testimony in this case that in the State of Michigan one Of the greatest wrongs was perpetrated by the seating of the delegation as recognized by the National Committee as ever l saw. Great applause)
 Gentlemen and fellow citizens. the defense interposed to the prosecution set on foot by
  according to the evidence. was nothing more than plea of confession and avoidance. (ApplauseD
 Fellow citizens, the gentleman who has just taken his seat on the minority report said that what you wanted was fs cts. This case was left in the hands of the committee and we have been in earnest, solemn session over this question, and we have been battling all night long with the testimony. Statement after statement that was made by the con- testees was deliberately denounced as being untrue by the contestants present and sup- ported by solemn affidavits.
 Fellow citizens, it is a question for you to decide whether Democrats in the great State of Michigan who are honestly and fairly here representing the majority of the Democracy of that State shall be stifed and throttled and driven from this convention, or whether you will recognize them as the legal and lawful representatives of that constituency. (Applausel Now, gentlemen of the convention, we want no wrong done; we want that done here which will be just and which will be right. As a representa- tive Of one view of the financial question rep resenting the majority report. we have voted to seat only two contestants from the Fourth District: two from the Ninth, and the others to remain seated as they are recommend to the National Convention. That shows, gen tlemen of the convention, that we intend to be fair and intend to do what is right and what is just and what was necessary for the democracy of the State. Now, gentlemen of the convention, I have not desired to take up your time. but I would say that if you had heard the sworn testimony as we had it the undisputed facts on many points as we had it-you would come to the same con- clusion that the majority has come to, and that is that the majority report should be adopted by this convention. I thank you

The Belief of Mir. Kolb.

MEMPHIS, July 16.--A special from Birmingham. Ala, to The Commercial Appeal says Captain Reuben F. Kolb does not hesitate to predict that the St. Louis convention will almost surely nominate Bryan for president and en- dorse tho Democratic platform. In fact he expects Bryan to be in St. Louis to receive the nomination of the Populists.
 He says the platform is all the Populists could desire. As to Sewall he believes the vice president nominee will not be acceptable to the Populists, but ventures no solution of that part of the problem.

 1t can be stated upon the best of au- thority that the senator does not approve of the proposed independent movement in the Democratic party as advocated by Illinois Democrats and agitated by mem bers of the party in the east.

Light Iron CasIinRa.

Light iron castings are at the present
day made in much larger quantities
than any one who has never investigated
the subject would imagine. Many years
ago articles cast of iron, and of II fragile
and ornamental character, known as
Berlin jewelry," were in extensive
use, and it was then thought almost i'm
possible that these should be simple iron
castings. At present, however, even
more intricate articles are cast OF iron.
but instead of being simply of an orna-
mental character they serve variety of
directly useful purposes, comprising. as
they do, scissors and shear blanks, clock
bells, clock and door keys, harness buc-
kles and IA multitude of others, not one
OF which will weigh IL ounces and
many weighing less than one ounce. So
minute are some of these castings that
the molding sand must be sifted in order
to discover al the results of days cast
ing The finish applied to some of these
articles, moreover, is such that one
would hardly suppose them to be cast.

The Alnslka BOUNDARY.

Alaska was not much thought Of at
the time of its purchase, and there is a
tradition that the money we paid for it
really reimbursed Russia for other good
offices Of hens i'll our behalf But now 1t
is seen TO have been worth far more
than It cost. 1t is likely that we do not
know us yet anything like the full meas
ure Of its possibilities. 1t is worth re-
tanning 10 the EXTREMIST boundary. Brit
ain knows something of its value, as
she knew that of the Columbia river
year, ago. We should know enough
about boundary problems by this time
to defend our own without shrinking or
carelcSsncss.

ever will come TO arbitration. 1t will be
settled, like the Maine apd Oregon
boundary disputes, by negotiation and a
treaty, and the United States will lose

is we'll known, forced by the French
to dispose of this tiara, as we'll as of
most of his treasures, to pay in part
the 5000, 600 francs required by the
treaty of Tolontino in 1872. Napo-
leon /, in tho month of June, 1905,
sent as gift to Plus VII new and
magnificent tiara, on the summit of
which again appeared the celebrated
emerald of Gregory XIII. 1t was pre-
sented to the pope by Cardinal
Fesch, the emperor's minister pleni
potentiary, and the pope, in his let
ter of thanks, dated June 90, 1905,
informed the emperor of his inten-
ton to use it for the first time at
the papal mass on the feast of Saints
Peter and Paul. When the pope was
taken prisoner in 1909 by the emper-
or, this tiara was seized by General
Miollis, together with other treas
ure, and taken back to Raris, but ON
tho restoration of the monarchy and
the return of the pope to Rome, it
was restored to him by Louis XVIII.

Americas Opportunity on the Seax.

When war was renewed in 1903
between England and France, the
rule of 1856 was again asserted by
Great Britain as binding, while in
direct trade between neutral ports
and the ports of an enemy was again
allowed, but under the new proviso
that the neutral ship did not on her
outward voyage furnish the enemy
with goods cOntraband of war. This
privilege of Indirect trade was in
valuable to American shipowners,
and for two Years the ocean COM
merce of all Europe was in their
hands. The fortunes they thus aoou-
mulated were enormous, while Great
Britain saw her own manufactures
displaced by those of continental
nations, and the colonies of her en-
emles prOspering rs never before. -
