WHERE rs REED

The surprising feature In the New
York republican convention is that,
while there was much stir over the
mention of McKinley's name. not n
thought was given TO Speaker Reed.
This is the more strange because, es-
pecially in New York city, where the
convention was held, the speaker has
many admirers; at one time the conclu-
sion was that. in all probability. the
state would be for Reed. Less than
three months ago. the impression pre-
vailed that Mr.. Plat was expecting to
deliver TO the Maine man the New York
delegation. Last autumn many of the
New York republican organs were
speaking pleasantly about Reeds
chances.
New York's convention was put up
for Morton. to the extent that the ma
chine could bring about that result.
The anti-Platt element was spectacular.
and II polled more than a hundred
votes. but these were solid for McKin-
ley. In view Of what had just hap
pened in Wisconsin and Minnesota, this
showing in New York will not be with
out weight in all estimates that will be
made respecting McKinley's chances.
His friends figure that he will be nomi-
mated on the first ballot. That is not

THE ENEMY AT HONE.

Silver sentiment in the Northwest Is
in rather hard lines when 1t cannot
count in a presidential year on the
support of the republican party In
South Dakota. The republicans of that
state met yesterday in Huron; they
voted to refer the currency question to
the republican national convention.
1t is easy Ito say what that means.
There was a time when it was assumed
that the st. Louis convention might at
least undertake to straddle the silver
question. Tha impression, however, no
longer prevails. A few weeks ago the
New York chamber of commerce issued
a manifesto appealing to business
men. bankers and manufacturers to
pitch in for the out-and-out gold stand
ard, and recently, several states, re-
publican conventions have responded
TO this appeal with alacrlty; the fore
cast made in most of the republican
organs now is that the national dele
gates. declining to be at all obscure
about it. will frame a gold-standard
platform; and that is what South Da-
kota must accept.
This is an untoward circumstance,
yet that which has occurred in South
Dakota is likely to find a parallel in
the republican state convention in Ore
gon; the same result is threatened in
the state of Washington. 1t is the re-
publican undertow in the Northwest,
and ii is dangerous as well as embar-

100000 soIiiers In the island.
Mr.. Beldesano, the consul-general OF
Spain, to-day received the following in
formation, published in La Epoca, Ma
drId. II is a summary of the number OF
men sent to Cuba, the expenses and NOR
tally for the first year of the Cuban re-
beIlion. When the rebellion began in
Cuba. in February, 1895, Spain had 13, 00o
men in the island. Nine expeditions have
been sent to Cuba. They consisted of:
Generals 80: colonies. $40; majors, capt
aims and other officers. 4.623; sergeants.
3,257; corporals and soldiers, 100. 1862; grand
total, III, 795, of all ranks.
The mortality of all ranks from March
/, 1895. to Jan. 81, 1896. was: Generals, 3;
colonies, 4; lieutenant colonies, 8; ma
jors, II: captains, 81; first lieutenants,
101: second lieutenants. "a; chaplains. Q;
sergeants. so. corporals. 161; and SOL
diers, 1894; total, 3,sT.
Causes of death: Killed in action, 2S6:
died from Y ounds. 119: died from yellow
fever. 3.1s died of ordinary diseases.
2s2: total, 3.s77.
The cost thus far of the war in round
figures is: Feb. "a 1895, to Feb. a. 1896,
army in Cuba, $40, 200. 900; navy and war
supplies. etc, $10.OoO.OOO; total $4,000, 900.
For four months past 100, 900 men have
been in Cuba after March 81, 1896, 13o, 900
men will be in the island. The increase in
the army will mean an increase in expen-
ditures. The estimate for the current
year is s75, 0O0. 900. The cost for this year
and next, $3.50, 000, 900, with $50. 000, 900 al
ready disbursed, means 5000. 600, 600
La Epoca says that General Weyler be-
lieves that the war will last two years
more, that that time will be necessary
for the absolute suppression of the insur-
rection.
Available funds Bank of Spain, $50, 000,-
900; Paris. $4,000, 600: Cuban bonds, $780,
000, 900; Cuban securities and concessions,
$25. 600, 600: reserve fund. s15,000,0 900: total,
500. 900 900. Fifty million dollars have been
expended, $50 900, 900 remains. While Cuba
is on a war footing her finances are on
gold basis.
The Cuban custom house for 10 years
previous to its present trouble yielded
$40. 900 600 per annum. The last year it's re-
ceipts were between 81 900 900 and So, 0O0.-
900. In case of necessity, say a three
years campaign, the Spanish and Cuban
credits may be relied upon to supply the
sinews of war.
Up to date, says La Epoca, Spain has
not made any new loan on Cuban account.
While authorized to borrow SIS, 900 900, she
has not availed herself of it,
These figures show Spains resources
and vitality. They are the elements on
which Spaniards of all classes rely for
the suppression of the Instruction.

THE ALPINE VULTURE.
Bird That Has Decided Preference &c
Human Prey.

Bird That Has Decided Preference for
Human Prey.
In the canton of Iral a woman was liv-
ing in 1854 who had been carried off by
a lammergeier, or Alpine vulture, when
u baby. At Hundwcl, in the canton of
Appenzell, child was carried off in
sight OF parents. On the Silberalp q
vulture attacked n little boy who was
watching sheep, seated on a rock, and
lad time to knock him over the edge of
the cliff before the shepherds could
drive the bird away. AT Murren, above
the. valley of Lauterbrunnen, vulture
carried an infant to an inaccessible rock
opposite the village and devoured it.
But the most striking instance of tile
ehild-devouring tendency of these birds
occurred in the Bernese Overland. A
child three years old, called Anne Eur
buchen, was taken up to the high Alp
at hay-making time and left asleep
while the father fetched load of hay
He returned to find the child gone. At
the same time another peasant, called
Henri Michel, was coming up the noun
tain by "a rough path when he heard n
child cry. AT the same time he saw
q lammergeier raise and sail away.
Running up to the place he found the
little girl, unhurt except for wounds
in the arm and left hand, where the
bird had ,clutched her. She had lost
her socks, shoes and cap while being
transported by the bird, the distance
traversed being about $50 yards. The
facts were all entered in the parish
archives of the village of Hakeren, and
the girl, who lived to be an old woman,
was always known as 'tGeier-Anni:"--

NEW OUTDOOR GAME.
English Children Like to Play II In the
Days of Early Spring.

English Children Like to Play II In the
Days OF Early Spring.
Tip and run is game our English
cousins are just learning-both boys
and girls. Itresembles cricket, so some
one says, as caricature resembles its
original. q
1t is a game to play early in the
spring, before cricket or tennis can be
thought of, and it has this advantage
over golf, that it can be played on
lawns or garden plots without damage
to the turf.
Tip and run involves much exercise
of rather severe kind.
This is the manner of it: The fair
guardian of the wicket, armed with a
bat or even racket, takes her stand,
and as soon as she has hit the
bowler's ball, is bound to run as fast as
she can between the wickets, as failure
to hit or to run involves discontinue
and an immediate successor at the bat,
The score mounts up rapidly, as an
expert batswoman hits each time and
flies to and fro like a ball herself, until
she can be dislodged by three successive
failures to hit her ball. The other
players field out, with success gener-
ally less than more. Bowling usually
taxes the skill of fair players more than
batting. They do not, as a rule, bowl
with the mechanical skill which marks
the masculine player.
Eleven is the proper number for each
team to tip and run; when men are per-
mitted to reinforce the eleven, they play
left-handed or bat with broomsticks.
But, even thus handicapped, they often
seem to be more than a match for their
fair antagonists, though there be
elevens, and there are those, who can
well hold their own upon the level
green, and are afraid of no mans prov.
ess and understand all the intricacies
of the game.
The maiden possessed of Atalanta's
speed and grace will doubtless prove the
prize player at tip and run, but every
girl who INDUCES in the game will find
herself the better and the roster for the
fresh air, sunshine and exercise it gives
her--Chicago Inter Ocean.
