SILVER LEADERS JUBILANT.
Blackburn Says Kentucky Democrats
Should Now Unite.

LEXINGTON Ky.), May 31.-The
free silver leaders are jubilant to-day
over their sweeping victory throughout
the State yesterday. Accurate figures
on returns from the entire State show
go silver delegates to the State Con-
vention against 240 for gold. The sil-
Yer men carried every Congressional
district in the State except the Fifth,
which is the Louisville district. The
western end of the State, including the
First. Second, Third and Fourth Dis
tricts, did not send q single sound
money delegate, and for that reason
the leaders who have consulted SEN
ator Blackburn think 1t will be proper
to make d Western Kentucky man
Chairman of the convention. The
choice will probably fall between ex-
Congressman Goodnight of the Third
and Stevens Of the First. Senator
Blackburn said tonight: "This is no
time for quarreling. The State Demo-
cratic party ought now to be the aim
of every Democrat. We have fought
good fight and have won. We ought not
to say an unkind word of our late OPP
ponents, nor censure those who Tan
us at the eleventh hour"
The friends of Carlisle and Cleveiahu
are not so easily propitiated, for tney
say they will not vote for a free silver

The National Convention VIII Not
Straddle the Fence on the
Financial Question.

NEW YORK, May 31.-The New
York Times tomorrow will print re-
plies from its correspondents through
out the Union to the following set of
questions: Are the Democrats of your
State in favor of gold standard, or of
the free coinage of silver and gold at
the ratio of 16 to II" What action
will they take through their delegation
in the national convention?" ''Will
the POpulists of your State fuse with the
Democrats on a free silver Presidential
candidate?" Would this combina-
tion carry your State?" DO the gold
Democrats of your State favor a sep
arate gold Democratic candidate if the
Chicago Convention declares for free
silver?"
In summing up the situation the
Times" says: THE replies show that
the results Of the contests that are
now assured will determine the com
plexion of the Chicago Convention.
The gold men will contest ninety four
silver seats in Illinois, Nebraska and
Texas. while the silver men will con-
test the eight seats of South Dakota.
In these contests will be found the bal
the silver men can secure two-thirds
of the delegates. A majority Of 200
would be the limit.
TT may be safely predicted that the
Democratic Convention will not strad-
die the financial issue. Everything in
dicates that it will declare unmistak-
ably for either gold or silver. In al
most every State the issue has been
made between the silver money and
the gold men. Moreover, the Democrats
will recognize the financial issue para
mount in the coming campaign With
them tariff has become of secondary
Importance.
1T is doubtful If there will be a
bolt of any considerable dimensions
from the national convention. AS to
the silver men, they have decided their
intention to nominate an independent
candidate if neither party nominates a

The Bishop of Kentucky Directs the

FRANKFORT (Ky.), May 31.-Father
Tom Major pastor of the Church of the
Good Shepherd, created something of a
sensation in his sermon to-day. After
reading a letter from the Bishop of this
Diocese, directing the Young Mems In
stitute, a Catholic organization, to send
letters to Governor Mckinley, Senator
Allison and other Republican and Dem
ocratic Presidential possibilities, asking
them for a written statement of their
sentiments in regard to the A. p. A, he
he said the time had come when Cath
olics, in self-protection, should know the
sentiments of candidates for Offices on
this subject. He also asserted that many
Catholics who voted for Governor Brad
ley were now sorry that they did so.
He predicted that but few Of those to
whom the letters are to be addressed
will give an answer to the query in re-
gard to the A PA, but indicated that
Catholics should affiliate only with
those who speak out in open hostility to
the order.

PRESBYTERIAN ASSEMBLY.
1T WILL COTE TO AN END Al
SARATOGA TO-DAY.
Seminary Control and Other Ques-
tions Have Not Yet Been
Fully Settled.

SARATOGA, May 31.-The second
Presbyterian Sunday here was attended
by perfect downpour, but which did
not interfere to any great extent with
the attendance at the various churches
whose pulpits were filed by commits
sioners. Five sessions were held in the
assembly church opening this morning
with a strong sermon by Rev. d. r.
Breed of Pittsburg.
BY tomorrow noon all of the COM
missioners will have left town, thus
closing the assembly for 1896. A brief
review of the session follows:
The session was the shortest in its
history, only nine days being consumed
In point of attendance it was not as
large by five members as last year. Com
paTatively few of the best known names
were on the roll and many of the ablest
men were not heard.
AS hard problems as ever came be-
fore any assembly" said one of the
members to-day, "and the action was as
decisive, but possibly couched in fuller
and more modifying language. The
urgent desire for seminary control by
the assembly was unanimously in
dorsed and donors were exhorted as tc
peril. The action of the Pittsbure
Assembly as to students in disap-
proved institutions was armed with ex-
plantations. There was no weakening or
judicial cases. The assembly thought
its mission was to eliminate special com
mittees. but only three were discharged
and four new ones created. No final
action was taken on any great ques-
ton"
The action on young peoples socie-
ties is only begun, it is said, and will be
further along next year. The New York
Mission House and the seminary contro
questions are not settled and the TEN
poralities' question is but started. II
Is predicted that the movement for q
constitutional rule as to candidates will
start the greatest agitation of the day
while the committee to examine into
the expenses. etc, of the Home Board
will open a great discussion.

Commissioner of The Spa at kissengen,
last summer, has occupied great
deal of attention since the publication
Of the correspondence on the subject
which passed between Baron Won
Theilmann, the German ambassador at
Washington, and Hon. Richard Olney,
United States Secretary of State. The
home papers have assumed that the
publication Of the correspondence was
due to Mr. Olney for the purpose of
causing inconvenience to Baron Won
Thielmann and bringing about his re-
tirement, but it has not occurred to
them that the correspondence was
published in the ordinary course of
things with no possible bias behind its
appearance apart from the utterances of
an irresponsible press. The position
entertained in the Foreign Office is that
Stern did not exhaust the ordinary legal
means at his disposal to obtain a re-
versal of his sentence, and that he
asked the State Department to inter
fere in his case before he had gone to
the end of his legal resources, thus
causing trouble all around which could
have been averted.

Germans as Workmen.


Some years ago German bakers began
to be employed in London for baking
fancy bread. In course Of time they
blossomed into small employers, drove
out all competitors by sweating their
countrymen, until they have now mo-
nopolized the east end business and
have nearly doubled in numbers within
the last 20 years. just the same with
the butchers, furriers, tailors and hair
dressers. Some Of these trades are fur
ther swelled by the failures young
fellows who cannot pass their staats-ex-
amen-and are shipped off to England
to sink Or swim, as our own failures are
sent to Australia. A German publisher
in London told me that one day he met
five old university friends in Regents
park, and every one had become bak-
er: Hairdresslng is another refuge for
the destitute, waiting in restaurants a
third.
The increase Of Germans, therefore,
does not represent any addition to the
industrial life Of the country in the
shape of especial skill or new trades, as
was the case with the French emigrants
in the sixteenth and seventeenth centu-
ries. The only exceptions are few men
employed in the high class bakeries and
those connected with the fur trade. In
all other industries they are distinctly
inferior worl1nen and only employed
on the cheapest and commonest work.
The French, the Italians and the Scan
dinavians excel in every industry pur-
sued by them in this country, and in
some departments they possess certain
unique capacities, as cabinetmakers, for
instance, goldsmiths and glassblowers.
The Germans arc signalized by gener-
al incapacity for doing first rate work

Water ard Rock.

The practical solution Of an interest
ing geological question is cradited to
Nordenskjold, the Swedish scientist, in
showing that water can be found by
boring into granite and other crystalline
rocks to a depth Of from 100 to ITO
feet. Briefly, he proceeded Gu he theory
that the variations i'll temperature ought
to cause shearing strains between the
upper ard lower Layers CT the rock, in
such way causing horizontal crevices
into which water from tie surface
would percolate, ard tho water would
also be fresh. A well was sunk in the
islet of Arko, off the Swedish coast, in
1894, and at the depth Ct 10 feet fresh
water was found, supplying 400 gal
Ions a day, and since then six other
wells have been bored and water found
at about the same descent. the object Of
