WINGED SEEDS.
Natures Plan of Distributing Plants
without the Aid of Man.

From the st. Louis Globe-Democrat.
The terrible eruption of Krakatoa, in the
Sunda Strait in 1885, furnished the oppor-
tunity for illustrating the ease with
which nature can replant with vegetable
life a district that has become complete
ly desolated. The volcanic eruption was
. one of the most destructive recorded in
history, the loss of human life being es-
timated to exceed 100000 Of the thirty-five
volcanoes on and near the Island of Java
tWenty-SiX were in violent eruption at
the same time. The center Of disturbance
was the island volcano of Krakatoa
which emitted molten lava and burning
asheS IN sucn abundance that every liv-
ing thing, whether animal or vegetable,
on the island was destroyed, and an OBJ
server from ship which approached
close to the land declared that the whole
island was red hot. Four years from the
date of the eruption the island was Wis
tied by an eminent naturalist, who found
such an extent as TO permit the beginnings
of vegetable life, and on making a closer
examination he discovered that during
the brief space of four years nature had
stocked the island with 246 different kinds
of plants.

TELLER TALKS.
He Says the Silver Men Will Not be
Deceived by an Ambiguous Plank.

ST. LOUIS, June Ex-senator Henry
NJ. Teller of Colorado, the leader OF the
silver forces at the Republican Con-
yention, spent the day very quietly at
the residence of a friend in the sub
urbs of the city. He will not come into
town untie tomorrow mprnlng, by
which time the Colorado delegation
viii have arrived and the Senator Will
have a conference with them at their
headquarters in the Southern Hotel.
The only instructions given by the Col
orado Convention to it's delegates at
large were simply to act in accordance
with the views of Senator Teller. For
that reason it is very desirous that
this conference should be held at the
earliest practicable moment, and after
it is over Senator Teller will meet and
discuss the general situation with the
silver delegates from all the States.
Until that is done he does not care to
talk for publication except in the most
general manner.
1T would be presumptuous on my
rart," said Teller, ito make any state
ment as to what l or those who believe
as I do would do in the event of the con-
vention not declaring for what we be-

oeyond that / have said nothing to
anyone.
Il see by the morning papers that the
indications point strongly to the adop-
ton of a platform in favor of the ex-
listing standard. The general opinion
appears to be that the word gold is
to be omitted. l hardly thought that
the men who are engaged in the busi
ness of constructing financial planks
would be so foolish as to believe that
they could omit the word gold and de-
clare for the existing standard there
by making the people believe that it
was anything else than a declaration
for the gold standard. 1t is a mere
Juggling with words and the silver men
would have much more respect for
the gold men If they came out for gold
instead of meaning that and refusing
to say so. The silver men in the con-
vention will not be misled by this con-
st-uction of a financial plank nor will
they misinterpret its true purpose.
Nothing will satisfy the silver men but
a clear-cut declaration for free COIN
age of silver at a ratio of 16 to l. Until
the situation has thoroughly crystal
DZed and the silver men know what
they may expect, l, for one, do
not care to say anything further on
the subject"

Mr.. Depew had a telegram which pur-
ported to come from Governor Morton,
declaring unequivocally that he did not
want the Vice-Presidency. His tele-
gram to Mr.. Hackett stated that he had
no communication with Mr.. Depew ex-
cept of an oral nature. Thereupon Mr..
Platt telegraphed the Governor request
ing an explanation That telegram was
sent yesterday afternoon. Mr. Platt
received an answer that it was true.
The Platt men cannot understand why
Governor Morton, if he desired that his
wishes in regard to the Vice-Presidency
should be made known, did not acqualnt
the people who are mana ging his cam

ST. LOUIS, June 14-The era of
brass bands and marching clubs has
set in. About a battalion of Reed men
from Massachusetts, headed by a band,
marched down Fourth street to the
north front of the Southern Hotel and
saluted the Reed flag. This first ar
rival was soon followed by a second
club from Alton, ILL.,, and it carried
the Mckinley banner. 1t was headed
by its own band, in very handsome
Hungarian uniforms, and the men all
cheered Justify for their candidate as

Men for ViCe-PreSide mt.

ST. LOUIS, June 14.-The Platt men

taken by them looking to the nomfna-
| ton of General Benjamin F. Tracy of
Brooklyn for President. 1t would
appear from the frank expressions
which fell from the lips of a number

| General Tracy is not popular with

personal grounds, but it is evident that
/ he Is not the man of their choice, if they
are asked to name a candidate for sec

the conditions develop a strong senti-
ment for General Tracy they would
not oppose it, They are disposed to be-

reach them through Ohio men that MIR:
Hobart of New Jersey will be the cam
didate of the Mckinley men, in which
event his success is practically assured.
The friends of the other candidates will
not concede this, but they insist that
many of McKinley's stanchest sup
porters are equally favorable to Ding
| ley of Maine Evans of Tennessee and
other gentlemen whose names have
| been suggested for second place.
| Ex-Judge j. Franklin Fort, one of the

convention, is enthusiastic over the

able Vice-President. He is one of the

and his sterling integrity, coupled with
his wide knowledge of public men and

THOSE CONTESTED SEATS.
WHY so MANY Mckinley DELE.
GATES WERE SEATED.
A Majority of the COntesting Parties
Were TCkinleyites, Which,
ever Side Won.

ST. LOUIS, June 14.-The following
statement is given out tonight from
Ohio headquarters to show that the
National Committee performed it's du-
ties in the matter of contested seats in
spirit of fairness to all concerned:
An analysis Of the work of the Ma
tional Committee in regard to the 16S
contests which were originally filed
with it shows that 1876 cases were acted
on, some of the original number having
been abandoned, while several notably
those of Delaware and a portion of
the Texas delegation were referred to
the convention In many cases both
contestants and contesteeS were under
stood to be Mckinley men, notably in
ali of the Mississippi and South Caro-
lima districts, and in certain districts
from Tennessee, Virginia and else
where. OF the 1876 claimants rejected
by the committee, sixty-two were
avowed Mckinley men. The impress
sion which prevailed during the consid-
GRAFTON of these cases, that the COM
mittee was deciding a large number
of the cases in favor of Mckinley
doubtless grew out of the fact that
in nearly all of the States where there
were a large number of contests both
the contestants and contestees were
avowed Mckinley men, and as nat
ural result more Mckinley men were
necessarily given seats, since many of
the contestants and contestees were,
according to their own statements Nc
kinley men. In New York three dis
tricts were contested, covering six dele
% tpC of ba
ed in favor of the Mckinley delegates,
and in the other districts both delega-
tons We're admitted, giving each dele
gate half vote.
In Delaware the contest was referred
to the convention.
In Virginia there were contests in the
Second, Third and Eighth Districts. In
the Third and Eighth the contests were
Withdrawn. and in the Second District
both delegations were admitted, each
delegate being given a half vote.
In North Carolina there was a con-
test in the Sixth District. Both dele
cations were admitted, each delegate
with a half vote.
In South Carolina there was a con-
test in each of the districts and as to
the delegates at-large, covering eigh-
teen votes. Both the contestants and
contestees were Mckinley mlen. the

come, a pleasant reception, and, per-
haps, the information they may be in
search of; also a due appreciation of
that which they may have to impart.
State headquarters were opened up by
delegations from nearly every State to-
day. Many of them are handsomely
decorated and were thronged with vis-
itors from noon until late this evening.
The Mckinley headquarters on the par
lor floor of the Southern Hotel, which
have been open several days, were sup
plemented by an additional room on the
ground floor. In this room an oil por-
trait of Mckinley was placed opposite
one of Lincoln, and the pictures of
Grant and Harrison were displayed.
There was plenty of bunting on the
walls and big stack of Mckinley
speeches in pamphlet form was ready
TO-. all corners. The room was crowded
all day In the upstairs rooms there
was also plenty of bunting and a crowd
in the corner room of the suite. From
that a favored few whose cards were
first sent in were admitted through an
inner door to an adjoining room, where
Mark Hanna, General Grosvenor and
the OC0tF iIldIdSeIS VI tliC AhSiNihAN'
boom attend to business.
Mckinley badges and buttons were
plentiful and there was a lively demand
for linen dickeys, built to fit over the
shirt front and ornamented with the
stars and stripes and portrait or
Mckinley. The supply of these queer
souvenirs was quickly exhausted. Aside
from the large hall assigned to the
New York delegation T. G. Platt has a
suite of rooms and Chauncey NJ. De-
pew has two rooms on the same floor.
The California headquarters are in the
ladies parlor of the Southern Hotel.

One of the most noticeable rooms
opened to-day was that of the Tippe-

EVANS OF TENNESSEE.
His Friends Arguing for a Distinct
Representative of the South.

ST. LOUIS, June 14-The supporters
of the Vice-Presidential aspirations of
Henry Clay Evans of Tennessee re-
sumed their efforts in earnest this after
neon. Every newly arriving delegation
was taken in tow immediately after
registering and piled with arguments
concerning the expediency of placing
the distinct representative of the South
upon the ticket. Particular attention
was paid to those delegates who had
been previously approached in the in
terests of Hobart and to these the argu-
ment was directed that New Jersey was
safe for Mckinley without any special
inducements being offered to secure its
support; that New York was in the same
position, while on the other hand the
nomination of Colonel Evans would in
sure the vote of Tennessee in the cleo
toral college for the Republicans and
possibly that of Alabama also Friends
of the Tennessee candidate claimed this
afternoon that they were making very
satisfactory progress.

BULKELEY BOOMERS.
They Claim the Strength of the East

at once launched the boom of eX-Gov-
ernor Morgan G. Bulkeley for the sec
ond pface on the ticket Every delegate
wore badge with nutmeg attached
to 1T. They are all for Mckinley, sound
money and Bulkeley. They base their
hopes on the attitude of Morton, Reed
and other Eastern men in regard to
the Vice-Presidency and point to ex-
Governor Bulkeley's record as Mayor
or Hartford for four consecutive terms
and Governor of Connecticut for two
terms and to his business standing and
army record, and claim that he is the
most desirable man for the place. Ex
