Velvet.

Velvet is manufactured by placing in
the loom rows of very short threads Of
the material designed to be employed,
whether cotton or silk. These are then
caught up by the cross threads in the
weaving and fastened in such a way
that the f1eecy ends present themselves
all on one side of the fabric. The manu-
facture of velvet is SO slow that for a
hand weaver a yard is considered good
days work. The machine made velvet
is of course turned out much more rap
idly.

DR.. Gufteras' Report.

New Orleans, September 9.-Up to
nightfall there a been no change in
the fever situation. Two or three sus-
picious cases had been reported to the
board Of health-a material falling off
from yesterday when there were thir-
ty-seven. These were investigated with
the usual results. This evening DR..
Olliphant and his corps ralize that they
have but one battle tOnight-that Of
preventing any more importations from
the coast tOWns-BilOXi and Ocean
Springs. The news from the MISSISSIPPI
pi sound was satisfactory and disap-
pointing-satisfactory in that DR.. Gui-
teras and the other government experts
had declared that yellow fever existed
at Ocean Springs and Biloxi, confirm
ing the judgment Of DR.. Olliphant and
his associates, and disappointing be-
cause the fears Of the public have been
realized. Of urse the decision of DR..
Guiteras has set at rest all u here
that yellow fever exists at Ocean
Springs. One of DR.. Guiteras' doubtful
patients,a child, died today. In DR.. Gui-
teras' opinion, the prevailing fever is
not yellow fever, but there are isolated
cases of that dread disease. This even
ing DR.. Guiteras pronounced the case
of Ernest Beanges, now sick, as yellow
fever. Late this evening the three
cases heretofore reported as existing
at Biloxi, were confirmed as yellow
fever.

president and who declared himself die

of his recent high handed action and
his cruelties. There is a demand that
Prosper Morales, a lawyer and former
minister of war, be chosen to succeed
Barrios. To prevent this Barrios in

operations.
Barrios is alleged to have killed a

sides these, 243 men of lesser promi-

FRANCE AND
To Prevent Interference in Cuban A fairs
by the United States-They Give Spain
This Assurance.

This Assurance.
ST. Louis, Mo-, September 9.-Comte
Henri de Penalooza, who has been Wis
iting friends in ST. Louis for a few
days, said that the rumor of an under
standing between Spain and other
European nations looking to a check
upon American interference with Cuba,
was confirmed by information which
came to him from high authority. De
Penalooza has been introduced in st.
Louis as a member of an old Spanish
family whose sympathies are with the
Carlist party, but whose connections
with high politics in Spain keep them
posted on most of the important devel-
opments in diplomatic circles. He said:
Some time last September. when the
Cuban question was so much agitated
in the United States even to the point
of furnishing blaks to the declarations
Of presidential conventions. Senior
Canovas del Castillo, the premier Of
Spain, received assurances from the
English and French governments
through their representatives in Madrid
that they would not permit any action
on h part of the United States other
than a very perfunctory recognition of
the belligerency of the insurgents. On
August 5th, before leaving Paris, I
learned from trustworthy sources that
this assurance had been renewed. Gen.
eral AZcarraga, the new premier, has
received the French and English am
bassadors, who lave once more assured
Spain of the sympathy of their govern
ments and Of their willingness to give
her their diplomatic help"

Although President Faure's life has
several times been attempted, n is
known to be threatened at the present
moment by the anarchists, yet he de-
clined to permit any members of the
French police or Partisan detective
force to accompany him to st. Peters,
burg, declaring that it would consti-
tute a slur cast upon the hospitality Of
the czar and of the Muscovite nation,
In this he differs from Emperor Will

police officers, although no attempt has

The Ohio NOtiOnalD Democratic Conventio

Columbus, Ohio, September 1.-The
state convention of the national demo-
Gratis today was not as large as expect
ed, the attendance being limited prob
ably to half a hundred delegates. The
leaders of the party express themselves
as well satisfied, however, and attribute
the small attendance to the fact that
business men generally are less appre-
hensive On the money question than a
year ago. They believe also that the
party has pursued a wise policy in
nominating a state ticket. This was
the only question in fact upon which a
difference of opinion developed among
the delegates.
Notwithstanding the committee ap-
pointed Wednesday night decided it
was advisable to nominate a state
ticket, the opposition succeeded in hav-
ing a plank slipped into the platform
declaring it ineXpedient to nominate a
state ticket. A lively discussion was
precipitated by this coup of the minor
ity and it developed hat the question
was whether the party organization
could be maintained more effectually
by nominating or not nominating a
state ticket. The majority seemed to
lnink ina d tlchel Woulu give Tue par
ty organization a prestige which it
could not otherwise secure and this
plank of the platform "a defeated by
a decisive vote. Next to the nOmina-
ton of a ticket, the most important &C
ton of the convention was in endorS-
ing a candidate for United States SEN
atOr.
The platform denounces the Dingley
bill and condemns the proposed annex
alton of the Hawaiian stands. The
financial plank is as follows: I'VE de-
clare for the maintenance of the gold
for the retirement of the
~greenback n for the extension of the
civil service merit SYSTEM, wherever
possible in the nation and in this
state"
A full state ticket was nominated,
Julius Dexter, of Cincinnati, being the
candidate for governor.
