PALMER HOUSE.
Politicians During the National
Convention.

CHICAGO, Feb. 6.-The Palmer house
will be the ranying center of the Dem
ocratic politicians during the national
convention.
Besides the national committee,
twenty states will have their head
quarters at the hotel. Every available
room in the house that can be spared
from the regular trade has been as
signed. The house has been compelled
to refuse quarters to two applying
state delegations. New York and
Washington tried to secure accommo-
dations, but could not be accommoda-
ted. Each delegation, however, was
given two rooms for the leading men
who desire to keep in touch with the
national committee.
The following are the states for
which rooms have been set aside:
Iowa, Mississippi, Oregon, Maine,
New Hampshire, Vermont, South Da-
kota, Louisiana, Indiana, Colorado,
Connecticut. Texas. West Virginia,
Wisconsin, Michigan, Alabama, Ne
braska, Pennsylvania and Kentucky.
Indiana has had set aside for it the
largest number of rooms-51. The total
number of rooms set aside for all the
delegations, including the two rooms
each for New York and Washington,
is 1853. The number of men to be ia
ken care of will approximate 1000 said
Manager Willis Howe today.
1--WE are now filled up and cannot
take another man. There is a desire
on the part of the delegations to be
near the national committee, and when
the Palmer house was selected last
week we were deluged with applica-
tons, and we made the arrangements
in the order of the receipts Of the ap-
pIications"

There is a persistent rumor here to

also reported that the boundary com

DENVER, Colo. Feb. Ga special
to the Rocky Mountain News from Ell
Paso, Tex. says:
The whole city was thrown into a
state of wild excitement this after
noon at > o'clock when it was announc-
ed from Washington that the anti
prize fight bill had passed the senate.
Dan Stuart held a lengthy caucus with
the newspaper representatives and
business men, and j. resulted in his
telegraphing James ]. Quinn to bring
in Maher and party from Las Cruces
on the evening train and orders We're
given for the immediate finishing of
the fighting ring. 1t is to be COM
pleted and ready for shipment at II
o'clock tonight.
The minister's union, composed of
four ministers out Of nine in the city,
was universally blamed and scored on
all sides by everybody. Their congre-
cations are composed of the business
men of the city who put up the money
to bring the carnival here and as a
consequence of their action the feeling
against them was bitter At O'Clock.
after a conference between Julian and
Stewart, it was announced that the
fight would occur if Quinn would con-
sent, but soon after it was given out
that the hurry was unnecessary as a
location for the fight where there would
be no violation of the law had been
ascertained and consequently the regu-
lar programme was posted up again.
Quinn and Maher and party will re-
turn to Las Cruces tonight and con-
tinue training as usual Dan Stuart
has given it out that the fight will
positively take place within three
miles Of FL Paso and on or before the
18th and nothing will prevent it, Every
thing necessary to accommodate the
immense crowd will be ready to go out
at II o'clock tonight and there will
be no delay except in transferring the
amphitheatre to the location selected.
There was additional excitement to-
night when it was ascertained that
had telegraphed eastern pa
pers that the ladies of Ell Paso had
signed protest against holding the
fights here. Most of the prominent la
dies were promptly interviewed and
they stated they had not been even
asked to sign a protest.
Governor Ahumada of the state of
Chihuahua, Mexico, in a private dis
patch this afternoon, denied the au-
thority of a dispatch sent out from
the City of Mexico last night to the
effect that he would take measures
Immediately to prevent the fights in
his state.

ELECTRIC LOCOMOTIVES.
rhe First Ever Built For n Steam
Railroad.

Railroad.
PHILADELPHIA Feb. 6-The Bald
win Locomotive Works of this city
have shipped to the Westinghouse Elec-
trio Works in Allegheny, the first cleo
trio locomotive ever built for a steam
railroad. The Baldwin works made
everything about this unique engine
but the electric mechanism, which will
be supplied by the Westinghouse COM
pany The locomotive is the size of an
ordinary box car, about thirty feet long
and mounted on two fourWheel trucks.
Completed, it will weigh sixty tons.
1t is geared for 800 horse power. which
will pull a loaded freight train forty
miles an hour. By a single change OF
the gearing this engine can be run up
to 1900 horse power, and can pull
train eighty miles an hour. This loco
motive is intended for freight. The
passenger ones will attain a far higher
speed. The wheels are forty-tWo inches
in diameter. Only space eight feet
square is needed in the locomotive for
the electric motor. One man will oper-
ate the locomotive by means of con-
troller similar to that on a common
trolley car. only much larger and
stronger. The locomotive is built to be
operated by either overhead or under
ground trolley wire 1t carries no coal,
fire box, smoke stack or water tank.
In front is a powerful electric search
light for use at night to light the
track. The cost of the electric locomo-
tive is about equal to that of steam
locomotive, or $4,000.

BROWN O. K.
Has the Women Of His COngrega-
ton With Him.

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. CDR. C. o.
Brown, pastor of the First Congrega-
tional church of this city, against
whom charges of immortality were pre-
ferred as a result of the arrest of Mrs.
Mary A. Davidson on charge of
blackmail, has received vote of con-
fidence from the members of the
church. The resolution which was tenn
porarily defeated a week ago, through
the efforts of Mrs. Sarah B. Cooper,
cO-pastor, was not adopted without
the display of a great deal of bitter
ness. Mrs. Brown, the pastors wife,
made q heated address 20 the congre-
cation, in which she accused Mrs.
Cooper of introducing her husband to
a woman named Mrs. Stockton, who
has figured prominently in the case,
when she knew Mrs. Stockton to be I'M
fit for membership in the church. Mrs.
Cooper's daughter arose to the defense
of her mother, and accused Mrs. Brown
of deliberately uttering a falsehood.
Other incidents of like character show
ed plainly the two factions into which
the church is divided. A strong min
GRITTY of the congregation, headed by
Mrs Cooper, the assistant pastor, be-
lieved the charges against Dr.. Brown
should be investigated before a reso-
luton of confidence was passed. At the
close of the meeting DR.. Brown re-
quested that council should be called
to try the case.

GROWTH.
Blow. winds, your rage but shakes the

Blow, winds, your rage but shakes the
trees
And roots It surer in its place
Scatter your rain, ye clouds, and free
The buds that wait your frowning
grace!
Roll down, o river, to the sea
And widen in your onward race!
Peace through a sunny span may keep
His garden in some quiet glen,
Whilst others sow for him and reap
And tend his hocks on moor and fen;
The flowers of Peace are death and sleep;
The strife of living makes US men,
All. joy it is to win the goal
BY tireless work and dauntless will,
Yet may the life rise orbed and whole
From clouded hopes, and loss, and i'll;
Our baffled tolls upbuild the soul,
And failure so is victory still.

THE RING.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 6.-Army Off
GERS on duty at the war department are
prepared to do all in their power to
execute the provisions of the Catron
bill, if called upon when the bill be-
comes a law. The procedure of setting
in motion the machinery of the army
would be for the governor of New
Mexico or any territory which may be
the scene of an unlawful gathering, to
call upon the United States marshal of
the territory to act and he might, if he
felt ii necessary, call upon the United
States troops for assistance.
The war department. authorities say
they have ample force in New Mexico
and adjacent to the border to take care
Of any number of sports likely to be
there to take chances of arrest on
charges of felony by attending a prize

Army officers feel confident the
troops will not be called for, believing
the law will compel the abandonment
of the project TO pull fights off in the
territory.
fight law will be necessary. The law be
comes executive from the moment it is
signed by the president and all persons
must at their peril take cognizance of its
enactment. Indeed. under well estab-
lished law as laid down in the settled
opinions Of the United States supreme
court, any persons violating its provis-
ions on the same day, but after the
hour in which it is signed, would be
liable to all the penalties of the act. 1t
is usual in many public acts to include
a provision that the law shall not take
effect until a certain date or a certain
number Of days after its passage, but
such a provision was expressly excluded
from the Catron act for the reason that
il was an emergency law and especially
designated to stop the FitZsimmons-MahaT

The governor of New Mexico is in hearty
sympathy with the movement to break

framed largely at his suggestion in order
to stop them. 1t is probable the United

New Mexico would be instructed promptly
to see the fight did not take place and
to enforce the law vigorously against

CRICKET.

Until the beginning of the present
century cricket in England was essen
tally the game of the people. When
George " played the game on the
Steyne at Brighthelmstone, about the
year 1882, that cachet was given to it
which made Strut say in 1884 that lit
is become exceedingly fashionable, be-
ing much countenanced by the nobility
and gentlemen Of fortune" although it
was some years before it became rec
ognized as a national or practically
universal pastime School BOYS, idle
men Of means, and the peasantry play
eel, but the great mass of EngliShmen,
the upper middle class, still stood aloof
from it. Even when the counties be-
gan to measure strength with each
other it was limited to Kent, Surrey,
Sussex and Hampshire, and it was not
until within the last half century that
the midland and northern counties
adopted it
Cricket, as played by many, cannot
be accounted an inexpensive pastime
With the exception of golf, indeed it
may be considered the most expensive
it being understood that this paper
deals With paStimes proper and not
with sports like hunting, shooting and
fishing. 1t is, of course, Impossible
to calculate the average cost of
cricket season to an individual gentle
man, including his paraphernalia his
club subscription, his travelling ex-
penses, but it may be estimated that
the daily cost of a match played, even
at a moderate distance from home, can
not be much less than 10c.
We may, then, form some notion of
the powerful influence of cricket upon
the national trade-the thousands of
gentlemen who are LQaying north
south, east and west, certainly one day
in every week, and very often more
during five months of the year; the
large army of ministers to the game
the manufacturers of cricket mater
ials, the ground men, the hundreds of
professionals the caterers, the large
number of men and boys who live
somehow by the game. We must re-
member that cricket is played in every
town, and in a very large proportion
of the villages of England, at any rate,
every Saturday during the season; that
the metropolis alone cannot provide
sufficient space for its players, and
that suburban clubs are ready to pay
almost fancy prices for good and con-
venient grounds. We must remember
also that cricket has become a feature
of the education Curriculum of every
school in England. so that in a school
of 500 boys, not fifty will be found who
do not possess cricket outfits of their
own.-Chamber's Journal

KILLING WOLVES IS PROFITABLE.

Bills for bountfes on wolves and coy
otes aggregating 1000 have been pre-

of Montana this fall, and the season is
said to be only about opened The leg
islature offered a bounty of So each
on the scalps of wolves and coyotes,
and a great many people are making
lots of money hunting the animals.
Indeed, wolf-hunting has been adopted
as a steady business by many former
cowboys. The people of the state are
glad to pay out any amount of money
in bounties, SO long as no one goes to
raising wolves for their scalps and the
bounty. But there is little danger of
this at present, the animals being so
unpleasantly numerous on the cattle
ranges.

DONOVAN READY FOR TRIAL,

Captain Donovan was seen shortly
after his arrest, but had very little to
say. He is ready and anxious, he says,
for his trial to take place. He claims
he was at the house of prostitution in
pursuance of the strict line of his duty
and that the position in which he finds
himself is the result of a constant con-
spiracy of which he has been the vic
tim for many months. He says he
can establish his innocence beyond the
possibility of a doubt.

The raid caused much feeling; that,
of course, was expected. Donovan's
friends were asserting last night that
it was conspiracy to trap him and
get him out Of the department, etc,
and this is just as stoutly denied.

that they knew nothing of his pres
