CHICAGO, ILL, July Sit is not difficult to
describe the situation here. The convention
is controlled by the friends of free silver.
They will dictate the platform by practically
the same vote as that which elected Senator
Daniel, of Virginia, over Senator Hill, in the
contest for the temporary Craftsmanship.
That vote did not disclose a two-thirds
majority, necessary for the choice of can
didate, but the Committee on Credentials
will control the permanent roll, and it will,
should the occasion be deemed to demand it,
unseat enough gold Democrats to render the
balance impotent.
The program of the free silver men is to
hold but two sessions to-day and have a final
adjournment tonight.
1:15 p. m.-Twenty- of tho Pennsyl-
vania delegates have decided to cast their
votes for Bland
POI p. m.-Whitney has succeeded in
holding the New York delegates together.
After an exciting conference the New York
delegation decided not to bolt.

.A TROLLEY MAIL SERVICE.
Application by the Schuylkill Traction
Company Acted Upon.
POSTMASTER MELLET CALLED UPON
The Postal Authorities at Washington Ask
Him to Give Facts Bearing Upon the
Feasibility and Probable Advan
tages of Such a System.

Recently the Schuylkill Traction Company
made application to the United States Postal
Department for the right to carry the
mails between the several towns on its
lines of railway. This would not interfere
with the regular railroad mail service in any
way but would simply give the towns on the
electric line a quicker and more frequent
mail service that would be greatly appre-
ciated by the business people, especially. The
benefits of such a mail system is at once
apparent to everybody.
At Hazleton and at points in the Wyoming
Valley the mail is carried on the trolley cars
to all points along the system on specially
arranged mail cars and it is found to work to
the greatest advantage to the business people.
The question has frequently been discussed
here, but this the first time any decisive
steps have been taken.
Postmaster Mellet is in attendance at the
National Democratic Convention in Chicago,
but Assistant Postmaster Michael Tierney
stated this morning that letter had been
received from the postal department at
Washington, D. c., asking for particulars as
to the feasibility and the benefits to be de-
rived from trolley postal service between
Shenandoah and Girardville. Mr.. Tierney
said an answer would be forwarded recon-
mending the establishment of the system
and its extension to Locust Dale and Maha-
noy City.
When asked what the innovation would
accomplish Mr.. Tierney said it will result in
a great improvement to the postal service in
the Mahanoy Valley. AT present three mails
are sent daily from Shenandoah to Locust
Dale and under the trolley system the number
could easily be increased to six. Four mails
are sent daily from Shenandoah to Mahanoy
City, but only three are delivered on the same
day, the fourth not reaching Mahanoy City
until after seven o'clock in the evening. The
trolley service would increase the number OF
mails on this line to six.
Mr., Tieney is very enthusiastic over the
idea and no doubt the answer to the govern.
ment will be very strong in favor of trolley
mail service.

Waldron's Horses Have Arrived at the
Merchants' Hotel Stables.

Waldron, the great Canadian horse shipper
arrived here last night with his horses. They
were taken at once to the hotel stables, where
the sale takes place at one o'clock p. IN.
tomorrow. Among the lot are some elegant
big draught teams that will go close to thirty
hundred pounds, Big, strong workers that
look as if they could move mountain. Then
there are business horses, express and general
purpose horses, in fact there are some of all
kinds, roadsters as we'll. The local judges here
pronounce them the best lot that has ever
been brought here for public auction. The
simple fact that they are Canadian bred
should make them desirable, because it's
conceded by all that for bone, strength and
durability the Canadian horse has no equal
and outlives any other horse on earth.
Waldron said every horse must be sold to
close them out, no matter what they brought,
and that the sale would open at one o'clock
p. IN. tomorrow if it rained pitch forks with
the points downward, as it must take place (;
so, if you want horse, be at the Merchants
hotel stables, and buy one at your own price
tomorrow. 1t

After Due Consideration.
Special to EVENING HERALD.
HARRISBURG, July s.-Acting upon tho
decision of Attorney General Mccormick in
the case of County Superintendent George
w. McIllhenny, of Dauphin county, in
which it was held that a fair Interpretation
of the law gives the State Superintendent
authority to inquire only into competency
where protests are filed against the issuing of
commissions, and after due consideration of
the papers on file, State Superintendent
Schaeffer last night issued commissions to G.
b. Bogart, Shenandoah John ]. Mulhall,
Halle township, Luzerne county; Joseph b.
Gabrio, Foster township, Luzene county,
and S. G. Rudy, of Huntingdon.
This practically ends the controversy over
the superintendency of the local schools as
the School Board cannot go behind the
decision of the State Superintendent and the
commission he issues but the matter will no
doubt be the subject of considerable discussion
at a meeting the Board is to hold tonight.
Prof. Bogart will probably arrive here
before the close of the week to begin making
arrangements for the opening of the next
school term. He is now at Titan, o., attend
ing the funeral of his father.
