two sides. Although this did not
show a two.thirds majority, the silver
leaders display no anxiety on this
score. as the Nebraska gold delega-
ton of twenty-six will be unseated
and the representation from the ter
ritories will be increased from two to
six each. Senator Daniel, who as
sumed the duties of presiding officer,
is an impressive figure and most elo-
quent orator of the old school. He
sounded the keynote for silver in a
ringing speech, but the fact that he
spoke from notes was rather dlsap-
pointing to his friends.
1t was noticeable that neither side
put its giants forward. When the
vote came to b. taken, w. ]. Stack
house, one of the administrations
federal officials in Iowa, in order to
flaunt the division in the Boies dele
CATION, challenged the vote of the
State and uncovered seven gold votes.
Mr.. Halderman did the same thing in
Blackburn's Kentucky delegation, and
Mr.. Mcknight, silver Michigan del
egate, showed twelve silver votes in
his delegation, which were locked up
by the unit rule.

bring him 10 see his benefactor. Some
times the benefactor scowled, some
times smiled his cynical smile and took
notice Of the little boy, who was called
by his baptismal name, Master Julian.
When the boy was seven years Of age,
Julian Lorraine sent instructions that he
was to be forwarded to 4erstal Abbey
Somersetshire. Having been told by
the good people about him that the
grand gentleman he now and again
saw was his father, he addressed him
by that endearing term. Julian Lo~
raine, no doubt, stared and laughed, but
he said nothing forbidding the appella-
tion being used. So to himself and the
world the boy was Master Julian, only
son OF Julian Lorraine, Of Herstal ABB
hey.
What strange freak induced the man
to present a nameless child, Of humble
and unknown parents, to the world as
his son I shall never know. IhaVe tried
to think 1t was from affection toward
the child-from the need even his own
nature felt Of something he could love
and call his own-but l cannot think
so. 1t may have been pure cynicism.
He may some day have wanted to turn
round and say, what Is birth? See,
take this lOw-bOrn brat, bring him up
as gentleman, and every one thinks
him born to the stationw It may have
been a baser motive, that of revenge.
I shall never know.
The boy grew up. He passed from
the stage Of Master Julian to that Of
Mr. Julian, or young Mr.. Lorraine; yet
his reputed father kept the secret
kept 1t until the boy was nineteen, and
like many other boys Of that age who
are only sons Of rich fathers, began to
give himself airs. Then one summers
evening, when the man and the boy
were sitting oveS their claret, Julian
Lorraine thought fit to relate, more fully
than I have given it above, the story Of
the wreck and the history of the child
Dorm on tnat rOck,
And for I was the boy to whom
he told it-turned deadly pale and
gasped for breath. 1 believe l had
never really loved the man whom ]
supposed to be my father; his was not a
lOvable nature. Often and often had
reproached myself for lack of filial af-
lection. But now, as turned my dazed
eyes to his face, and saw the satirical
smile with which he regarded me, all
but hated him. I rose unsteadily.
II must go and think all this over,1
stammered out.
Certainly, go and think 1t over"
He spoke carelessly and returned ia
his claret, while I rushed wildly from
the room.

Ponder Over.

What Fifteen Hundred Non Have t.
Ponder Over.
Our "workingmen's leaders" when
they are tired of bringing libel actlonj
and getting farthing damages, would
do we'll to study the remarkable state,
ment made by Lord Londonderry to his
miners at Rainton on Saturday last
says the Saturday Review. He pro-
poses to shut Rainton colliG7y, and thu
unfortunate men who will be thrown
out Of work came to ask the reason
The owner produced complete and de,
tailed balance sheet, showing that tho
last years working cost $4,000 poundt
while the receipts were only $4,000
pounds, and even Lord Londonderry
cannot go on indefinitely losing 16,00l
pounds year. But the analysis Of the
figures is even more instructive than
the totals. The net loss Is Is lid pei
ton Of coal raised. The total cost pei
ton at the pits mouth is IS 10 1-2d, and
the selling price only IS II 1-2d. OF
the cost, IS Sd for wages. Now, In
1887, just nine years ago, the pit waa
paying, the wages cost" being a
5 3-4d. The result to the men has been
a gain of Is lid per ton in wages-and
the closing of the mine.
The reporter adds that the statements
Of Lord Londonderry caused a PRO.
found sensation" and we'll they might,
We fancy that the sensation will
spread. Strikes, shorter hours, higher
wages, heaven-sent labor leaders with
snug seats in parliament, Hyde Park
demonstrations, and all the rest Of Il
are, no doubt, very fine things, but Il
the men all over the country who,
like the 1900 at Rainton, have been
thrown out Of work, could be got ia
speak, we fancy they would cry out for
lower wages and regular work rather
than higher wages and no work.

A oussn With soIsntIflo ra.tss.

Queen Amelie of Portugal, to the
great delight Of the king and her court
has discontinued experimenting on
them medically, in order thoroughly to
study the Roentgen light, and now her
majesty spends her time in photo
graphing King Carlos and the attend,
ants, in order to discover what their
skeletons are like. The queen, as Is
we'll known, has during the last two
years devoted herself to the study Of
medicine and has shown herself an apt
pupil; but, unfortunately, her majesty
Is too enthusiastic in the pursuit Of
medical science, and by her expert
ments has reduced some of her ladies'
in-waiting almost to deaths door, so
that now the queen has a new hobby
the Portuguese court rejoices, espe-
clally the king, as the queen was al.
ways insisting upon his trying new
methods discovered by herself for re-
duclng his growing corpulency. It Is
even said-perhaps maliclously-that
in consequence Of the kings gratitude
to Roentgen, the professor is to be in
vited to the court at Lisbon and will
receive a high order from his majesty.

the greatest demonstration of the day
occurred. A hundred delegates rushed
forward 10 wiring his hand and con-
graduate HIM, and the wild cheering
of the crowds continued several min
utes.
The net result of the day session
was the seating of the Nebraska dele
CATION. This was the signal of wild
demonstration in honor of Bryan, the
boy orator of the Platte, who is now
everywhere recognized as a formida-
BILE dark horse.
Wild Demonstrations.
The crowds returned to the conven-
ton hall, expecting protracted night
session and decisive action on the
platform. There was further delay,
however, On the committee on creden-
tials. In the meantime the band
played, and, as the evening advanced,
myriads of electric lights added brill
liant animation to the scene. The
Michigan contest, which had excited
sharp division in committee, was re-
ported at o'clock, giving the silver
forces 3 majority of the delegation,
and thus permitting them to swing
the twenty-eight votes of Michigan
for silver. 1t excited warm debate,
and what gave evidence of intense
personal feeling was aroused When,
after two hours of speechmaking, the
final vote was taken, it gave the occa-
sion for the most spontaneous and
stirring demonstrations that have oc-
Cured. As the New York delegation
cast it's vote to sustain the Michigan
gold delegates, great shout went up
from the thousands of delegates and
spectators, which grew in inten-
sity as it proceeded, while men
jumped on chairs and waved hats,
canes, handkerchiefs and shouted
themselves hoarse. 1t was eighteen
minutes before the rapping of the
chairman's gavel could bring the con-
vention back to order When, a mo-
ment later, the chairman announced
that the silver men had decisive
majority, there was repetition of
the wild demonstration, this time by
the silver men, lasting twenty min
utes. 1t was evident that the leaders
bided their time for council, and they
determined not to urge the platform
to final issue last night. With the
forcible speech of Senator White on
taking the chair, the permanent or
ganization was perfected, and at $3.50
the convention adjourned until 10
o'clock to-day.

CHICAGO, July SIN the magnificent
and capacious Coliseum in Jackson
park, beneath clear skies, with cool,
invigorating breeze swapping at the
flags and trsppings, and the blue wa
ters of Lake Michigan stretching
away to the north, the Democratic
national convention met yesterday.
After a brief but decisive battle in the
arena, the silver men vindicated their
supremacy. They wrested from the
hands Of the gold phalanX the control
of the convention and gathered the
reins of power into their own hands.
There was a Renaissance of that
other great coliseum, whose fall
marked the destruction OF an empire,
where men were butchered to make
Roman holiday about it all. A cham
pion who has so often entered the
lists to do battle in Democracy's cause,
amid the ringing shouts and wild ac-
claim of his party, was put to the
sword that silver might be supreme.
BY one of those strange fateful CO.
incidences, it was Senator John w.
Daniel of Virginia, who four years
ago, at the wigwam, nominated MIR.
Hill for the presidency, who was Sc
lected to give the fatal blow to the
man whom he would have exalted to
the first place in the republic. No
more eloquent commentary on the
revolution which has divided the
party and made this convention SO
memorable could be needed.
There was no demonstration during
the day for any of the candidates, but
many Of the leaders, like Hill and
Whitney of New York, Blackburn of
Kentucky, Ex-Governor Russell of
Massachusetts,, Daniel of Virginia,
Harrity of Pennsylvania, were the re-
cipents of individual ovations. The
followers of both sides took every
opportunity to cheer their champions.
Among the distinguished guests
seated in the rear were number of
gold leaders who had been conspic-
uous in previous conventions, but who
would be swept by the silver cohorts
in their States. These included GEN
eral Gordon of Georgia, Senator Lind
say of Kentucky, ex-Congressman
Bynum of Indiana, Congressman
Cultivate of Ohio and others.
But, strangest of all, on the plat
form of a Democratic convention,
were the little coterie of silver sem

CHICAGO, July 9-The battle OF
giants was waged all along the line
yesterday, with the silver men in con-
troll of the committee rooms and in
the convention. No quarter was
shown. The committee on resolu-

twenty, crushed the opposition, and,
with a few notifications, adopted the
platform adopted by the sub-com-

ators who bolted the convention OF
st. Louis. At present without party,
they seek entrance to the Democratic
party on condition that it select Mr..
Teller. General John b. Weaver and
other PUpulists and silveritss like
Senator Stewart were also there, all
watching closely the results of the
deliberations of the convention. AL
though many well known faces were
missing, it was a distinguished gath
ering.
The Fun Begins.
The invocation of Or. Stires, an
Episcopal divine, with its appeal for
peace, had hardly assembled to the
throne of Grace before the contending
hosts met in the shock of battle. The
gold men carried out their programme
of presenting Senator Hill for tenn.
porary chairman, but the silver lead.
ers also held to their resolution and
Immediately antagonized him with
Senator Daniel. For two hours the
oratorical gladiotors of the opposing
forces fought it out upon the plat
form.

JOhn r. Fellows of New York, and
General st. Clair of West Virginia
championet Mr.. Hills cause, and c. s.
Thomas of Colorado Mr. Tarpey OF
California, c. A. LAID of Illinois,
Delegate Marston of Louisiana,
and National Committeeman Clayton,

throw. Colonel Fellows appealed for
mercy. He pleaded with the majority
to do generous thing and show that
it did not place too much reliance on
the force of numbers, but in the right
eousness of their cause. Mr.. McDer.
mott was even driven to threats.
General st. Clair, who is a silver man,
opposed the defeat of Hill, whom he
had supported four years ago, and
whose defeat then he expressed his
profound regret for yesterday.
But the silver men, most of whom
had spoken for Hill in 1892, and who
recalled the fact with evident pride,
and who expressed great regret a t the
necessity which compelled them to
take this course, coLtended that the
election of a temporary chairman in
harmony with the majority was of
vital Importance. The temper of the
delegates was plainly apparent from
the salvos with which they greeted
these firm utterances.
