One Way Of Catching Fiddler Crabs.

One wny OF Catching Fiddler Crabs.
There are various ways of catching
fiddler crabs. One way OF catching the
black or mud fiddler, the one that bores
into meadow banks along salt creeks, is
with two boards SO placed as to form
deep sided letter v. The fisherman seeks
a spot where there is a little strip of
sand at low water, between the base of
the mud bank and the waters edge.
The crabs come out of their holes and go
down to the edge Of the water, often in
great numbers. The fisherman comes
over the meadow with his boards, which
he sets up On edge as quietly as lie can
On the sand, with the opening Of the V
toward the water Then he alarms the
crabs. and they come scurrying up the
little beach in multitudes, bound for
their holes. AS they come they carry
their big claw aloft, somewhat as the
soldier carries his gun. 1t is from this
habit that the fiddler crab gets the name
Of soldier crab. by which it is also
known. Those crabs that are opposite
the opening in the v hustle with the
rest of the line, but when they strike
the board sides they are thrown more
and more together, until they converge
In mass at the point. The fisherman,
sitting outside, takes them out by the
handful New York Sun.

The Boies Boom.

CHICAGO, July 6.-Tho managers of the
Boies campaign say they are very much
encouraged by the reports received from
their scouts and skirmishers who have
been canvassing tho incoming delegations
Ihoy declare that Boies has developed a
great deal Of unexpected strength, and
that he Is the second choice Of two-thlrds
Of the silver delegates They are sensible
Of the rise in Bland stock, but they say
that Bland Will mover be ablo to secure
two-thirds Of the convention, indicating
that the Bnios men viii not favor the OBJ
rogation Of the two-thirds rule. The Boies
men think that the preiudico against the
selection Of a southern man will operate
against Mr. Bland and prevent his nomi-
nation. The Boies men say that as soon
as it becomes apparent that Bland cannot
be nominated Boies will then be selected.
Iowa men are arriving in great num-
bers. Colonel Il. j. Phillips of Ottumwa

iratic state convention Of New York the
delegation acts as a unit, and II a majority
should decide to bolt or to take no furthor
part in tho convention after the adoption
Of the silver platform Senator Hin, who
has indorsed this unit rule, would be COM
pelled 20 abide bv the results.
Senator Hill is very much under the
impression that he will be elected IL SO
leoted by the national committee, al
though every delegation from the south
and west that has arrived has Joined in
the declaration previously made by tho
silver men, on the ground that they would
not accept anybody but a silver man for
temporary chairman. The plea Of tho SON
atorial friends Of Senator HILL asking him
not 20 place them In the position Of voting
against him, has been almost pathetic.
Nearly every silver Democratic senator Is
here as a delegate from his state While
Hill has opposed them, not only on the sil-
yer question, but upon many other ques-
tions, notably the Income tax, yet they
regard him as a manly fighter and have a
great deal Of admiration for him. He has
never counseled bolt from O national
convention and has severely criticised any
body of the party which tolerated bolt
II was known during the tariff fight that
some III fooling grow out Of a scene in the
senate between Hill and Mr. Blackburn
still, near the close OF the last session OF
congress- Hill made a vigorous speech In
the senate, supporting Carlisle on tho bond
issue, but took occasion TO severely criti-
else Carlisle and the friends Of Carlisle In
Kentucky because they did not support
Blackburn for senator after he had re-
ueivgd the caucus nomination In that
speech Hill said that there were creator
issucs than the currency question, and that
tho Democratic party should not divide on
the question of silver and currency.
The silver men appreciated that speech,
and they do not expect that Hin Will bolt
when a 9 TO I platform Is adopted. Hin
maintains IN his conversation with the
silver delegations who have called upon
him that they arc not following the lines
Of his argument used in tho senate on that
occasion, because they are subordinating
every other issue 20 the silver question
solely.
Tho silver men say that this has got bo-
yond anything else in the Democratic
party, and tho leaders who are here, even
II they woro disposed 70 stnnd by Senator
Hill as temporary chairman would find
it impossible TO control the delegation

mittee For senator Daniel of virginia.
GOLD Men stin Insist on Senator Hill.
Lining Up For the Fight.
CHICAGO, July g. The free silver army,
with the gold forces practically routed in
advance of the BATTLE is discovering that
JUS weakness lies in its own tremendous
strength. Bland Of Missouri IS still tho
leading candidate for the prosidersf, with
Boies Of Iowa second in the race Teller's
name is now scarcely heard IN this con
nection Altgcld is suspected of ooquet-
ting, with two or three OF the other dele
gates, and secretly planning TO spring a
dark horse on the convention Bryan OF
Nebraska is the dark horse most frequont
ly mentioned.
The strength Of the several presidential
candidates IS now estimated AS follows

Loan, So; Whitney, as; Matthews, 81;
Blackburn, 20; Stevepson, 2l; Russell,
l6; Teller, IL; Pennoyer, s; unclassifled,
21S.
The members of the Democratic national
committee who are silver mon have held
meeting to agrec on candidate for tenn
porary chairman of the convention and
decided TO recommend Senator John W.
Daniel of Virginia. Senator Daniels
name may be presented to the full com
mittee for temporary chairman by the sill
yer members. If the gold committeeman,
who are majority, insist upon present
ing the name Of Senator Hill, or some
other gold man to the convention, the sill
yer contingent will nominate Daniel 1t
is possible that Daniels name will be
brought before the convention by minor
ity report from the national com nittee
Senator Hill has intimated his willing
ness to accept tho designation Of the ma
tional committee as temporary chairman,
and his name will be presented by the
gold majority of the committee In refer-
ring TO the situation, the New York sena-
tor says; "There will be no dishonorable
compromise. There will be no abiect sur
render Every inch will be fairly and
honorably contested until the convention
shall finally adjourn"
Something of a sensation has been caus-
cd By the open threat of the New Jersey
Democrats 10 bolt The delegation held
an informal conference in their headquar-
ters in the Auditorium annex Senator
James Smith and State Senator William
