Gen. Bragg was standing on a chair
and many delegates were bowling at
him. His words could not be dis
tinguished plainly but they were some
thing about "anoth n candidate on
another platform. The roll of states
was finished at 1890 at night Then
Senator Jones of Arkansas moved an
adjournment till morning
Friday.
The fourth was the epochal day. Del
egate Harrity of Pennsylvania, chair
man of the national committee,
promptly mounted his chair and placed
in nomination ex-Gov Pattison This
evidence that Pennsylvania would
stand by the platform and partici-
pate in the nomination drew a cry of
delight from the silver men. Mr.. Mat
tingly of the District of Columbia
named that peerless champion and
friend of American laborers, John R.
Mclean of Ohio" Delegate Miller add
ed to the list the name Of Sylvester
Pennoyer of Oregon. The names of
Bland, Bryan, Boies, Blackburn, Mat
theWS, Mclean, Pattison and Pennoyer
thus were thus before the convention
and the first ballot was begun amid
great excitement. A big row occurred
when Wisconsin was called. Gen.
Bragg announced that he was in
structed by the majority of the Wis
consln delegation to cast no vote. One
of the silver delegates challenged this
and insisted on call of the roll of
the state. The result was that nine
teen delegates refused to vote. Senator
Money made the point of order
that instructions to a delegation to
vote as a unit could not stif1e the will
Of any who desired to vote and the
chair so ruled, thus blazing the way
for an ultimate ruling that the two
thirds required to nominate within
the meaning of the rule were two
thirds of the votes cast. The result
of the opening ballot was announced
as follows: Bland, 223; Bryan, 105;
Boies, Sc; Matthews, 27; Mclean, "a ;
Pattison, So; Pennoyer, 10; Blackburn,
SO; Campbell, 2; Tillman, II; Russell,
2; Stevenson, 2; HILL, /; Teller, 8. Abb
sent and not voting, 185.
The second ballot resulted: Bland,
2S1; Boies, 81; Matthews, "a; Mclean,
50; Bryan, 1877; blackburn, Al: Pattison,
100; Pennoyer, 8; Stevenson, 10; Hill,
l; Teller, s. Absent or not voting $50.
All the candidates are losers except
Bland, who game IS, and Bryan, who
gained go.
The third call began and ColoraS0
brought her 8 votes from Teller u
Bryan. Florida gave the Nebraskan
3 more Kansas developed a danger
Gus split. Eight votes Lad gone to
Bryan, but her votes under the unit
rule was still with Bland. When New
York was called there was a storm of
Kisses. She declined again to vote.
Oregon deserted Pennoyer, Bryan cap
turing of her votes West Vir-
ginia, which had gone solid for Black
burn, broke away, casting votes for
Bland, 2 for Boies and 1 for Bryan.
The result of the third ballot was:
Bland 291, Boies SO, Matthews "a, Nc
Lean 81, Bryan 219, Blackburn 81, Pat
tison 81. Stevenson g, Hill 1, absent or
not voting 1872. Teller had dropped
out and the vote of all the other can
didates save Bland and Bryan had
dwindled. Bland gained 10 and Bry-

IN THE EVENT OF 4 WAR
Speculations as to the Field OF
Conflict.
THE FIRST POINT OF ATTACK

Importance Of Halifax to Great Britain.
Relative Strength of the Two Powers In
Case OF q Conflict on the Sea-Compari-
son of the Two Naval Forces-views OF
Army and Navy Officers.
In tho event of war with England what
would happsnp 1t has been stated that
tho war would be carried on in Venezuelan
territory. Such would hardly be the case.
The most effective course for the United
States would be the immediate invasion
Of Canada.
Halifax, where Great Britain's chief
naval station in North America is located,
would be the first point Of attack. There
is not much doubt that the two forts which
protect that station would strike their col
ors after few hours bombardment by
some of our big battleships.
With Halifax in our power, the i'm
mense naval stores which it contains, seized
and appropriated to our own use, and the
IA acres of dockyard closed to British
ships, severe blow would be dealt to the
enemy.
Tho next move would be to throw q
strong military force over the border. Our
regular army could be vastly increased by
the addition of the national guard and q
formidable rec put in possession Of the
country. This, it Is probable, would soon
bring England to her senses, and Uncle
Sam could dictate his own terms.
When it comes to question of sea fight
ing, we would be placed at a disadvantage
De- n tfpYp nt N ri
English out of Venezuela, see in what
position we would find ourselves.
We would load our regular army on
board the American liners, which, as part
Of the naval reserve would at once be
pressed into service. Such other vessels as
could be found would be seized and used
as troopships. When our standing army
of 81, 900 men was ahoat, our entire naval
force would probably be modified to con-
vey the troopships down the Atlantic
across the gulf of Mexico and the Carib-
bean seq to the shores of Venezuela.
Great Britain would send out her big
battleships to prevent us from landing
troops Then would follow sea fights
which would be the most terrible history
has ever recorded.
In the event Of combat for supremacy
on the sea it must be confessed that the
outlook is not very promising for Uncle
Sam. Naval men say frankly that we are
not prepared to fight nation like Eng
land on the sea.
Although the following facts concerning
the comparative naval strength Of the two
nations may sound discouraging, it must
be remembered that England has other
troubles that engage her attention. and
that she would not dare to leave all her
other colonies unprotected. She has many

Great Britain, every naval officer in the
navy knows, has powerful military Sta
tions within few days sail of La Guayra,
and her supplies at these points are almost
incxhaustible. No comparison between
tho fighting forces of the two countries on
the seas can be made without its becoming
vlvidly apparent that, as at present con-
stituted, the American navy would be
hardly a match for the British fleets now
in tho Atlantic between Halifax and Ven
ezuela
The files of the naval intelligence office
show that while there are no battleships
attached to the fleet the cruisers are in
Vulnerable, and most of them arc as good as
some Of our best. AS fighting machines
of their class they are the equal of vessels
of the Raleigh and Cincinnati type, but
there are no vessels ut tho station compare

cludes the question Of ammunition, OF
which there is little on hand. At present
the national guard Is equipped with va
riety of guns, which makes identical am
munition impossible.
1t would take time to properly equip
large body Of troops and large expendl-
ture of public funds. There Is no ques-
tion that the national guard could be
readily mobilized and easily brought with
in the discipline Of the regular army.
General Miles capacity for cUmmand
and campaigning is readily agreed to. His
youth, activity, experience and ambition
combine to make him fit commander in
any operations by land.
Many of the war department officers are
Of the opinion that the invasion of Canada
Is less likely as military operation on ao-
count of the present incident than the CO.
cupation of Venezuelan territory. An Of
fcer said in referring to this subject:
"The invasion Of the neighboring Do
minion grows out Of the assumption that
there we must make the principal strike at
Great Britain, since our naval force Is
pitiably inadequate. England, 1t Is felt,
cannot withdraw her armed forces from
India, Gibraltar and the colonies to in
crease the military in Canada, and 1t Is
taken for granted that the United States
can easily obtain possession Of Canada. 1t
seems to me that this will precipitate an
attack on our undefended coast, result
Of immense cost to our seaboard cities, to
say nothing of the loss Of innocent life
After all, the contest, II there be one, must
be at sea or at least between two navies
The army is more likely, 1t seems to me, to
20 to South America and there sustain
the Monroe doctrine, the military allied
with the naval force Of this country"

\ KENTUCKY SUBSTITUTE FOR A

A KENTUCKY SUBSTITUTE FOR A
TURKEY SHooT.-A taking substitute
for the usual Thanksgiving amusement
of turkey shooting was introduced last
Thanksgiving day by Mr.. Joe Sallee,
which is called a turkey rolling. The
bird is tied, as if to be shot at; 80
yards stepped off, and the roller pays
his dime, is then placed between the
handles of wheelbarrow and securely
blindfolded, and attempts to roll the
wheelbarrow over the turkey. The
roller who touches the turkey gets it.
If none succeed in making the wheel
touch it, the one who comes nearest
gets it.-Harrodsburg Democrat.

enemies, and the complications which
might arise were war to be declared be-
tween England ard this country would
probably be favorable to us.
Here are two tables which show at
glance how insignificant is our naval force
beside that of England. The tables show
that where we have but 131 fighting ships
of all kinds England has 564, and that
where we have but 922 guns, England has
8, 790 guns. Not all these guns however,
could be trained OH the United States fleet
at once, and our entire naval force could
be collected to meet oil the ships that
England could send into our waters.

Grandma Snipes, buried about
year ago, on the butte near town,
says the Goldendale Agriculturist.
Footprints of two men (barefooted)
were tracked from the highway
close by, where they had hitched
their horses. They had shoveled
down to the grave, broken the outer
box to pieces, after which the glass
and lid of the coffin were torn off.
The body had not, apparently, been
disturbed, for the dirt was again
replaced, However, James Hunt
er, who was riding near there Tues
day noticed that the earth had
been disturbed and at once notified
her son, Mr.. Edgar Snipes, and
also the sheriff, F. B. Stimson.
The latter, with Deputy Burgen,
went out to the scene Tuesday and
removed the earth finding the sit
uation as described. What the OBJ
ject of their ghoulish work was
cannot be explained at present.
Altogether it is a most contempt
ible piece of work, and the parties
guilty of it, if caught, should be
summarily dealt with. 1t is re-
ported, as we go to press, that the
sheriff is close on the trail of the
scoundrels, and that they are like
ly to be apprehended.

Gambler Reinstafed. .

The supreme tribunal of the
knights of Pythias, at its recent
session ir Denver, Colorado, rem
dered a decision which affects
hundreds of members throughout
the country. 1t was in the case
of Joseph Gavin, who was expelled
from the Leadville lodge under the
law Of 1894 excluding gamblers
and drunkards from the order.
Gavin appealed on the ground that
he was member before the law
was passed. The tribunal sustain. !.
ed Gavin's plea and ordered him
reinstated. Fifty cases in Denver
alone are affected by the decision.
