INDIANAPOLIS. Sept. l. The early
morning trains brought many delegates
to the sound money democratic cor
vention which begins its session to-
morrow, Gen. Bragg and Senator Villas
being among TIE first arrivals. The
California delegation from the southern
part of the State are shut out by a
washout snd will not be able to reach

linson Hall, where the convention will
meet. have been completed. 1t is the
general opinion that the hall will com
pare favorablv with previous conven-
tons, although it mades DO pretensions
As TO capacity. Across the centre OF
the stage are likeuesses OF Tilden, Hen.
bricks and Cleve land, while to the east
are those of Jelt rson, Jackson and
Joseph E. Mcdonald.
Mr.. John P. Irish, OF California, says
The delegates from his State are for q
platform, ticket and a redhot fight.
He anticipates the defeat OF Bryan in
California BIZ $1,000 majority.
Senator Villas said this morning that
the indications were that Mckinley
would carry Wisconsin and that at
least 20 or % per cent. OF the demo
Gratis Of the State would fall in line fer
the nominees of the Indianapolis con-
vention.
Mr.. Perry Belmont was asked what
course be thought the regular New
York democracy would take on the
present condition of affairs. He re-
piled Until the Buffalo convention
declares itself it must be assumed that
il will follow the lines laid down By
the New York delegation at the Chi
cago convention, which were an atti-
tude of hostility to the populistic dec
larations OF the platform and the can
didate'
The national committee, although

mittee.
Chairman Bynum. Of the national
committee, says there are no contests
reported from any OF the States and
that the temporary roll, as made up by

REPORTED RAILROAD q CONNECTION
The Washington correspondent of the
Baltimore Sun says; The Capital Trac-
ton Company, which owns the Wash
ington and Georgetown Cable Railway,
Fourteenth Street Cable Railway
and the Z Street Electric Railway, Is
credited with a plan to obtain control
of the franchise of the Capital Railroad
Company. This company has charter
for railroad into Washington from
across the Eastern Branch on the south,
which will use the overhead trollery in
the country and also on the navy-yard
bridge, permission for this use havins
been granted by the District commits
sioners against many protests. The
horse cars of the Anacostia and Poto-
mac Railway are now serving the pub
lie in this territory. 1t is further said
and the idea seems to be most proba-
BILE one, that the Capital Traction Com
pany will control the Capital Railway
Company and make an electric road
from Shepherds. on the old ferry, on
the east side of the river, opposite Alex
andris, to connect with the city cars at
the navy-yard, and that swift ferry
steamers will be built to connect Alex
andria and Mount Vernon with the
new line at the South edge of the Dis
trict. In this way the Washington,
Alexandria and Mount Vernon Rail
way, on the west side of the Potomac
river, will have q competitor on the
east side, and the Capital Traction Com
pany will extend its connection on the
east and south, as it has on the north
and west of the city of Washington.

Ii HUNG CHANG.

From present indications, the visit Of
Earl Ii to Washington will be singular
" free from all the pomp and circum
stance which is attending his stay in
New York, and which the Government
generally displays when distinguished
visitor is at the capital. Ii Hung
Chang will arrive in Washington on
Thursday next at 6 p. M, from Phila-
delphia, and has been assigned by Gen
Ruger to suite of rooms at the Airing
ton hotel. Sixteen rooms have been
placed at the disposal of himself and
his retinue there. There will be no
official function, unless it be arranged
later to give him reception under the
auspices of the Department OF State.
There will be entertainments given
by the Chinese minister at the palatial
legation building, Columbia Heights,
but these will be altogether private in
their character.
Ii Hung Chang went to West Point
yesterday, but it rained before the
United States dispatch boat Dolphin
reached the wharf and Ii did not go
ashore. Part of his suite reviewed the
soldiers, but Ii stayed on the Dolphin.
His trip OF yesterday was constant
rataplan of questions on boats, guns
sugar, bridges, and railroads.

AND NOW Mr.. Don Dickinson OF
Michigan, who holds high head among
the cuckoos, and is one of the leading
boilers at Indianapolis, joins Mr. bourSe
Cochran in denouncing the southern
democrats who, having submitted tneir
case TO the arbitrament OF their nation
al convention, abide its decision, and
saws: "a certain half dozen unrecon'
structed adherents OF treason in the
South, deluding aud betraying their
people for the second time, have made
an alliance with the enemies Of honor,
law, and order at the North" No Won
der unpleasant ideas are suggested to
Southern democrats when they hear
their neighbors who have heretofore
voted the democratic ticket, talk about
boiling that ticket now.
