The Situation In Chicago

CHICAGO, July 6.-The Democratic ma

city tomorrow, Is TO DO one OF the most
remarkable in tho history Of American
politics With the convention but little
more than "a hours away and nearly all

hedged about by conditions that little can
be foreseen as 20 candidates
The feature of the past "a hours has been
the seeming utter collapse of the Teller
boom. The talk Of the existence of what
was termed senatorial oabal, plotting TO
secure Yeller's nomination, has aroused
ameng IRany Of the Incoming delegates a
feeling II the most bitter and passionato
resentment and the cry is hoard every
whore that the nominee must be Dom
ocrat. 1t is considered almost treason to
suggest Teller. This strong revoit against
what is doomed an attempt at senatorial
dictation seems TO have cheokmated tho
so called cahaL Asithe free silver Repub-
lican and the Populist leaders realize that
the game is slipping away from them they
are inclined TO grow ugly in their despera-
tion. Tho former have begun to predict
defeat if Democrat is nominated, on the
ground that no matter how disposed they
might be to support Democrat on a free
silver platform their friends In the west
ern states would not follow them bag and
baggage into the Democratic party. The
Populists could with difficulty be restrain

they could not support a Democrat. Both

bands and the countless thousands OF shout

Iowa Candidate managers have received
many assurances Of support from the
south and west, and although Bland is
still hailed and hornldod as the logical

ground, he has some weak points in tho

that Nc Kinley wonld secure more than

the news from the district yesterday,
following close upon the Nc Kinley de-

evidently too much for Senator, Davis.

in Japan, says: "Heavy iron bicycles,
weighing from As to go pounds, are
used by q few Of the Japanese in
some of the larger cities Of the
empire, and when the people hear
them coming in the distance general
scattering takes place so as to give
the rider a wide berth, for he fre-
quently comes in forcible contact, with
pedestrians, and sometimes collides
with the houses, shaking the fimsy
structures to their very foundations.
At Toxic became acquainted with

accompanied me on excursions to
places of interest about the city. Owing
to the fact that the roads are very
narrow and without sidewalks, he of

imprudent spectator, and both would
roll in the mud. Then victim and
rider would get up, and each would
profusely apologize to the other for
