This is not a personal dis ike. for Americans

Victoria the sovereign Of the British nation

Noel, of the Laboratory of Entomology,
of Paris Recently he has used with
much success an electric incandescent

the professor retires a little distance
and lights the lamp. Instantly but

frogs, lizards and other small reptiles
come in number to see the strange lght,

DEMOCRATS RESOLVE.
A Political Patriotic Celebration
Held at Washington.


WASHINGTON, July 5.--A patriotic
celebration was held here today at the
Grand opera house under the joinT
auspices of the National Association Of
Democratic clubs and the Democracy
of the District of Columbia and con-
tiguouS sections. An elaborate pre-
gramme was gone through with and
addresses made by some of the lead
ing Democrats of public life. Patriotic
addresses were delivered by Senator
John w. Daniel of Virginia, and Hon.
j. c. Sibley, of Pennsylvania. Short
speeches were made by members of
congress and others representing the
original thirteen states. The Declara-
ton of Independence was read by Hon
Andrew Lipscomb, as was also the
last letter written by Thomas Jeffer-
son, expressing regret that he was un-
able to attend independence day cele-
bration in this city seventy-one years
ago. Mr.. Sibley acted as chairman of
the meeting w. ]. Bryan sent a letter
expressing his regret at not being able
to attend.
Resolutions were adopted declaring:
We indorse the time-honored Democratic
dcc.rine that taxes should be laid for rev.
enue only and limited to the wants OF SIM
pie government honestly administered, ana we
denounce the scheme of the Dingiey Dill, and
various amendments made in secret caucus,
as more fragrant robbery than the Repubh-
can law known as the Mckinley bill, twice
repudated by the people. Dictated by trusts
and monopolies, in part payment for moneys
advanced to corrupt the suffrage, lts main
effects are to enrich the few at the expense
of the many and to- release accumulated capt.
tai from all taxation, while restricting our
trade and depTiving the American producers
of free access to the markets of the world.
We reafirm the Democratic doctrine that
the legal tender money of the people should
be issued by their government and we de-
hot oil rpnrpSpntatlVGS money
shall be redeemable in coin, the silver and
gold of the constitution.
And we demand the free and unlimited coin
age of gold and silver at the present legal
ration of IS to l. without waiting for the con-
sent of any other nation.

The Bering Sea story Is Not Cred
tied in London.

LONDON, July 5.-The statements
of the Washington correspondent OF
the Daily Chronicle to the effect that
correspondence is about to be submit
ted to congress regarding Berlng sea
matters, which will cause resentment
in Great Britain, charging bad faith
in the carrying out of the terms Of the
award, etc, are discredited here in
diplomatic circles. Previous to the
jubilee celebrations United States AM.
bassador Hay gave the Marquis of
Salisbury a strong representation OF
the case from the standpoint of the
United States. but it is added through
out the entire correspondence there was
nothing to offend Great Britain, and
there have been no communications
on the subject since the jubilee.
1t is understood that the Canadian
premier, Sir Wilfred Laurier, has con-
ferred with the British government
on the seal question. The interests OF
Canada and opposed to restrictions
being placed on sealing, and, as Great
Britain is now cultivating the gooi
will of her colonies. this policy may
render it more difficult for the United
States to secure an agreement on the
subject.

The cool shades of Minnehaha Falls
attracted the largest crowds yester-
day which has ever visited that ia
vorite pleasure resort. They Were
scattered over large space, but
everywhere, be it glen, falls, picnic
grounds or soldiers home field, the
mass of people simply crowded
all the walks or open spaces. The
park policemen, who have been on duty
there for years, say they never saw
larger gathering at one time, and
conservative estimate would number
the masses at 25,000 people.
Despite the immense throng and the
inevitable crowding, there was no dis
turbance of any sort during the day

NEW YORK, July 5.-Independence
day was celebrated by Tamn1any hall,
III it's usual fashion today. The wig
vans capacity on the main floor was
taxed, but there were vacant seats IN
the galleries. There was one departure
III the celebration today and that was
that the usual supply of refreshments
was not dispensed from the
basement. A number of letters of re-
Sret were read from invited guests
who did not attend. EX-President
Grover Cleveland wrote as follows:

LINCOLN, Neb., June Is, 1S97.-Dear Sir:
| regret that an engagement made several
weeks ago, will render 1t impossible for me
to join with the Tammany society in celebrat-
ing the one hundred and twenty-frst ami
versary Of the Declaration of Independence.
l have, on former occasion commended the
sion, in the constitution then adopted, for the
annual commemorat:on UI the Fourth of
July. There Is a special propr ETY. in the OBJ
servance of this day by Democrats at this
time, when the party has just freed itself
from foreign financial influences, and taken
an emphatic stand in favor of an American
oicy for the American people, | trust that
your meeting may prove the inauguration Of
a campaign which will result in putting
Greater New York under Democratic
troll. The party has already shown in Chi
cago Cincinnati and several other cities
larger gains than will be required to over
come the Republican majorities recorded in
New York and Brooklyn last November. All
indications point to a strong growth in pub
lie sentiment along the lines laid down in
the Chicago platform, the failure of the Re-
publican policies to restore prosperity having
given new impetus to the movement which
has for is object the raStorati m cf g)ld ami
silver coinage of the constitution.
While the increasing strength of Demo-
cratic principles, together with the absence Of
coercion. extensively practiced last fall, would
seem sufficient to make victory reasonably
certain in New York, you will be greatly
aided by the fact that the Republican admin
istration both in your city and state, has
been so unsatisfactory as to cause widespread
criticism.
l trust that your celebration will excite in
creased interest in the principles of Jeffer
son and Jackson, and thus hasten the day
when these principles will be completely tri-
umphant in city, state and nation. Thanking
you for the honor you do me, am,
w. j. Bryan.
