yesterday were Democrats. They OBJ

regarding the truition OF Mark Hanna's
management A Republican United
States Senator, who is also a member
OF the National Committee, but not
one OF the five Senators who refused to
vote for the Dingley bill in Congress,
expressed his opinion freely yesterday
afternoon:
This is but the preliminary OF a
funeral,n said he, land it has all the
airs of a funeral. It is well that it
should take on that appearance. as it
would be difficult to disguise our feel
lngs. Defeat now stares us in the face.

pected brilliant and victorious cam

are hundred intelligent Republicans
In attendance on this convention. who

ted form of McKinleyism that is now
known as Hannaism.n These are stern
words. And it was veteran who ut
tered them, veteran grizzled in the
service of the Republican party, a man
who led regiment in battle, who had
been Governor of his State, and whose
advice Is always listened to with re-
spect in the Republican Senatorial
caucus.

SENATOR DUBOIS, in his address to
the ST. Louis Convention, dwelt espe-
ciaily upon the service the West had
been to the Republican party. SHOWING
that that section never in the honr n
the party's need had been found untrue
TO the party call. He dwelt especially
upon the strength OF the West in the
Senate; showed that to the votes of that
section in the Senate the Republican
party owed the maintenance Of its pro-
tective policy and all other policies. Of
ten, when their own sectional interests
were not involved. He asserted the
inter-mountain. States had been reg
uiar in supplying support for these
lines OF policy, while New York. with
not one Republican Senator. and mi
nois with only one, and the Southern
states with almost none, and Indiana

which had been for years represented
IN the Senate BY Republican, are in.

ruinous to the West, but. az he he

PnNninR DOGS.

Even dogs are pawned here. In a
place on Twenty-eighth street a lonely
pug separated from his fellows gazed
wistfully ut customers the other day.
How much for that one?" asked 4

Cant sell him until Monday night
replied the bird and dog dealer. The
man wanted to know why, and he was
informed that the dog was in pawn,
and if he wasn't redeemed prior to the
time mentioned he would be sold.

scenes d Dowery Den WAsso DsG8an
lGese NJ Ceagrsgass.
The Dowery. in spite Of its reforms
ton. still holds some queer hacnts.
One Of the many II : saloon near Chat !
ham square patronised by TINT portion
Of the community known IS "fakc
hobos." It II in reality m exchange
for '.made-up" cripples. The blind, the
deaf and the halt can be seen enter
ing the resort, but II one follows them
q lightning change in their physical
condition can be witnessed. Once with
in, the blind see, the deaf hear, the
lame walk, the paralytic becomes MINI
BILE. OF course the saloon il not q very
pleasant place to patronize. II Is. II
anything, dirtier than it's neighbors,
which is saying good deal. But. for
oil that. it Is one Of the extraordinary
sights of this great city. The bad
odor comes partly from the bad liquor
which is sold at five cents glass. part
ly from the free lunch, the resisting
piece Of which consists Of cabbage CT
pungent species. and partly from the
patrons themselves. There is sign ON
the sidewalk in front announcing that
this particular place dispenses, at a
charge of five cents per glass, the best
York. The frequenters of this beggars'
exchange are very interesting to study.
If you care to approach near enough
for that purpose.
A visit will convince you that it is
not q very difficult matter to become
a cripple without injuring yourself,
providing you go about it in the right
way. For the purpose of obtaining
substantial charity it is only necessary
to make yourself appear miserable and
helpless. The modus operandi can be
had for the looking on at this Bowery
"boozing den." The pockets OF the
painstaking rogues who frequent this
place are as rule well filled, especially
those of the blind beggars who may
be seen playing checkers and cards
there. At another table perhaps you
will see u group of deaf men heartily
enjoying some tale cleverly related by
q member of the company. Among the
q
number of lame men who lightly toss
aside their sticks and crutches ON en-
tering and resume a sound condition OF
body. One might imagine from the
case and suddenness with which this
transformation is made that miracle
had been worked. Broken arms are
also mendcd in an astonishingly simple
manner by the very easy process OF
removing bandages. Great sores and
scars are cured by the hasty applica
ton of a sponge. Sprained ankles
rheumatism, dislocated shoulders and
other Affections are remedied in an
equally simple and effective manner
The busiest hour ut this remarkable
resort is after IL o'clock ut night, wher
most of the stake cripples" knock Oh

two about the fruits of indiscriminate
charity take peep at this queer rem.
devious on the Bowery. near Chatham

TURKEYS NAVY GOING TO SEED.

1to Ooetructt0n Decro00 By the Sultan for
Reasons Of His Own.
Why does the sultan allow what was
once . respectable feet to rot to pieces
anchored on Stamboul? Simply because
he considers an ironclad . dangerous
instrument in the hands of any minis
ter or resolute commander. 1t is true
that there are NO ships to guard his
coasts, but also there are none to
steam up the Bosphorus and throw .
shell into his palace, and that is the
first object to b . thought of.
The incident which led to the order
for the extinction of the Turkish navy
was rs follows: A transport was bring
ing number Of time-expired men
home, when they respectfully mu-
tinted and begged their officers to 60
below, rs they wished to do something
which might not be approved of. Some
noncommissioned officers then took
command and anchored of Dolma Bag
tchch. and after firing q small salute
began shouting: Long live the sui
TAM -st
This demonstration caused immedi-
ate confusion at the palace and various
high officials were dispatched to parley
with the mutineers. but they insisted
on seeing the minister, and when he ut
last appeared they said they knew tho
sultan had given money to pay them,
but that they had not received it and
that they would not bulge until they
did. No arguments were of any avail,
aud the money had to be sent for and
distributed, after which the men
weighed anchor with = cheer and gave
up the ship again.
The sultan, however, reflected that
what o transport had done peaceably
q hcavily-armed nan-of-war might do
with evil intent, and calling Hassan
Pasha to him he declared that he
wanted no more navy. In this light
hearted manner q branch of national
defense, which had been the pride of
its officers, was sacrificed to the royal
fears for personal safety, and Hassan
Pasha, who has steadily carried out
his masters programme, has ever since
been in high favor and is, to all In
tents and purposes, minister for life
