The Silver Mems Candidate Is Not Yet Do
cided Upon
KANSAS CITY, June 20-The Colo
RADIO delegation. with the exception of
Senator Teller and one or two others
who walked out of the Republican ma
tional convention. passed through this
city today en- route from st. Louis. The
delegates spent a few minutes between
trains on the depot platform. G. ]. Hart
of Pueblo seemed to be the only dele
gate in an approachable mood.
mo, we are not sorry for what we
did," said Mr.. Hart. I'VE reflected the
overwhelming sentiment OF the people
of Colorado and stood by our convic-
tions We shall stand by our action In
the convention to the end"
Colorado, then, will be lost to Nc
Kinley?"
"He has not the slightest chance to
carry the state. We would prefer to
support Senator Teller If he accepts a
presidential nomination, but If he does
not run we will support some free silver
man."
IF the Democratic party adopts a
silver plank in its platform, will you
support its nominee?"
I'VE can't say. We DO not know
about the nominee"
Mr.. Hart said he had fought through
the war with a musket on his shoulder.
but the most trying ordeal he ever went
through was when he walked out Of the
convention amid roar Of cheers and
Kisses.
II never voted anything but the Re
publican ticket in my life." said he, sad
ly, "and 1t almost broke my heart to
leave the party loved. But there was
no other course for me to follow If were
to be true to the people Of Colorado and
true to myself. Silver was not given
the slightest recognition-gold was tri-
umphant and party had to give way to
principle"
Mr. Hart said that 1t was just as GER
tain now that the Democratic party
would declare for silver as 1t was week
ago that Mckinley would be nominated.
He said, however, that the gold inf1u-
ence Of the east and south. which knows
no party lines, would be much in evil
dence at the Chicago convention.

men in the convention, will pass through

for a grand reception to Senator Cannon

A .Foundered SeaIer

SAN FRANCISCO, June 20.-News has
been received here that the sealing schoon-
er Katherine foundered at sea last month
in Japanese waters. The officers and crew
were saved. The Katherine became fa-
nous when, as the Black Diamond, she
was captured for illegal sealing in Bering
sea. A prize crew was put on board and
the vessel was ordered to put in at Sitka.
Capt. Owen Thomas of Victoria, however,
overpowered the prize crew and went to
Victoria. The United States made a de-
mand upon Great Britain for the vessel,
but the arbitration of the sealing question
put an end to the difficulty and she was
never heard from.

She Is Then Quite Royal in Appearance.
But Otherwise Only Ordinary.
Queen Victoria, in her best bib and
tucker, is still very good-looking
woman. In the hideous bonnets and
old-fashioned shawls the queen so con-
stantly wears when not ION exhibit
ton" she gives one the impression of
being merely nice, cozy motherly old
lady whose whole life's interest is CEN
tered in her family. One would never
suspect her of being able TO rise to the
occasion and look the part of queen.
With the assumption of court finery,
however, says the Philadelphia Times.
Victoria doffs her homely manners and
becomes at once the personitication of
gracious sovereign.
To those who have seen her in both
characters the metamorphosis has
seemed little short of a miracle. On
account of the queens lack of height
she is rarely photographed standing;
for though she scarcely measures five
feet, her waist line is abnormally long,
so when she is seated she gives one the
impression of being tall woman-an
advantage The vanity of any woman,
even queen. would never ignore.

JUMBO AND THE LAW.

A Deputy SheriH Out Atter tno oreue
Elephant.
It was eight or nine years ago, and
the cars containing the animals were
unloaded near the Canal street freight
house, says the Providence Journal.
The animals were guided across Ex-
change place by attendants, and the
elephants went along very peaceably.
They hadn't gone great distance,
however, when Jumbo's back began
to itch. The big elephant tried to reach
the place with his trunk, but didn't
manage to. So he stepped from the
line and looked for some suitable place
apainst which to rub his back. Where
were two objects in sight--a big flag
staff and Paddy Burhs' shanty, which
stood in the rear of the Three Ones
fire station. Jumbo picked out the
shanty, and by the time he had re-
lieved his feelings things inside were
upside down, and the building had
nearly been removed from its founda-
tions and showed into the water.
Paddy Burns looked for lawyer,
and found the late Ambrose E. West.
The attorney issued writ and gave
it to deputy sheriff, with instructions
to attach Jumbo. The officer present
ed the paper to the treasurer of the
circus and then took up a position
near the elephant, but out of the reach
of the swing of his trunk.
The bill for damages was promptly
settled, but the officer said afterward
that if the animal had decided to wall:
away he hadn't any idea how he could
have proceeded to enforce the law Ivy
compelling him to remain.

HARD CIDER SELLERS

Will Hereafter Have to Pay the Dow Tax.
Columbus, O., March 26-The real
purpose of the bill introduced by Mr..
Hinsdale which recently becamd law
was learned today when Auditor Of
State Guilbert construed the intention
of the act He gave his opinion OF the
law at the request of Auditor Holiday,
of Franklin county. The purpose of
the bill is to make the people who sell
hard cider by the drink pay the Dow
tax. Mr.. Guilbert held that any per-
son selling cider in quantities of less
than one gallon is subject to the Dow
tax, but where he sells cider in quanti-
ties of over one gallon he shall not be
subject to the Dow tax.

AFTER today, when Muskingum,
Guernsey and Morgan counties will Sc
lect their delegates, the Congressional
situation in this district will assume
definite shape. AS it stands now Hon.
T. f. Davis, of this comfy, has solid
delegation of so votes as starter
Noble county's 25 delegates have been
chosen by the Republican Central Com
mittee. which body instructed them to
vote for VanVoorhis. However, it is
thought Mobiles delegation may find It
a matter of policy to split up between
the three candidates, giving each a
share of her vote.
In Guernsey county the opposition to
Hon. d. d. Taylor appears to have
weakened and there is little doubt that
he will have his county's 36 votes
solid. In some precincts in Musking-
um there is opposition to the Van
Voorhis delegates, and, though it is
reasonable to assume that he will have
the 67 to which that county is entitled,
it is, of course, hoped by his opponents
that few nti-VanVoorhis men will
slip in.
The chief interest centers in the re-
suit in Morgan county, where the dele
cation of "a will be chosen by mass
convention. Should Morgan declare
for VanVoorhis, it will be all up with
the other candidates, but that she will
do SO is hardly probable. Morgan is
noted as county in which the silver
idea in finance largely prevails. On
this question it is perhaps more direct
ly opposed to VanVoorhis than any
other county in the district, but the
outcome of mass convention, like the
verdict of petit jury, can never be
foretold.
The nomination, SO far as can be
Judged at present, does not appear to
be within the reach of either candi
date In the matter of the unalterable
support of solid home delegation,
Mr.. Davis is more certain of his posi-
tion than either Mr.. VanVoorhis OIL

situation at this stage indicates that

"happy answers" credited to them. OF
these, perhaps, the best known are
those of the lnan who, when asked if
he pleaded guilty OF not guilty" re-
piled that he couldn't say until he had

sponse of the prisoner to the usual
question before sentences: "Iaye you

IN ITS DYING H0UES.

Before another issue of the -E9tS
shall have been received by many of
its subscribers the Legislature OF 1896
will be a matter OF the past and its
many blunders go down to history as
the evil effects of sham reform.
Ever since its meeting in January to
the present time there has been Il con
tinual scramble for offices. Its hard
to imagine more disgraceful scenes
than those which have been enacted
daily by the people who are paid by
the State, not to fight over patronage
but to give us needed legislation.
That the third house, orlobby has
had very successful session is strong
~ limited by many who have suffered
from its raids Their only obstacle
in passing any bill seems to have been
the Senate, which undoubtedly is com
posed OF many excellent men.

tried hard to do what they thought
was for the best interest of their con
stituentS and we say to them Vel
