the Same Plate With His.

Washington, May 31.-Wu Ting Fling,
the new Chinese minister, has had his
picture taken. This is no ordinary cere-
mony for a Chinaman of his degree
and required the attendance of a valet
and several servants. A carriage load

ister's court dress, was taken to the
studio. Mr.. WI first posed in his street
dress. a jacket of terra Gotta and
trousers of blue. Afterwards he donned
his court dress and was Photographed
again. The garments of the court dress
are too numerous TO mention.
The minister also condescended to
pose with his wife for a picture. 1t is
said that this is the first occasion
where the Chinese woman has been
photographed with her husband.
Madame WI wore her court robe. 1t
was a rich black satin. decorated with
a serpentine pattern on silver white
satin Emeralds adorned her ears and
cluster of fresh white roses were
fetchingly arranged at one side on her
jet black hair.

San Francisco. May 31.-Atr. and
Mrs. Durrant received the news of
Governor Budd's decision shortly after
10 o'clock last night. They expressed
themselves as greatly disappointed, but
neither manifested any emotion. They
took the news quietly and gave vent
TO neither anger nor tears.
Mr.. Durrant was with his son at San
Quentin for several hours Yesterday af-
teTnoon. Mrs. Durrant viii go over to-
day TO visit him. She declares that if
he is executed she will be present.
Eugene Deuprey. Durrants attorney,
last night, said there was yet an ap-
peal pending before the supreme court.
He added:
Failing in the state courts, we may
file our case in the federal courts and
ask for a writ of supersedeas to the
warden of the state prison pending the
proceedings.
Referring to this possibility, Warden
Hale says he will be governed by the
opinion of the attorney general.

at San Quentin prison remains I'M

steps today to test the temper of their

fiant attitude and maks as much noise
as possible whenever one of the guards
or Warden Hale shows himself in the
vicinity of the cells where the strikers
are confined.
Despite the fact that he has ex-
pressed the opinion that the inSubor-
dfpates are weakening. Warden Hale
has doubled his guards and armed
every available man within the pre-
cincts of the prison with shotguns.
while gatling guns are trained upon

tineers. ready to be utilized the mo-
ment any sign of an outbreak is made

Ohio Republicans See No Permanently
in Last Years Victory-A Call to
Arms.

Cincinnati, May S1.-President D.
Woodmansee and Secretary Major
Downing have issued call for the
tenth annual convention of the Ma
tional Republican league at Detroit,
July 30. Each state and territorial
league is entitled 10 four delegates
from each congressional district and
six delegates at large.
The business of the convention in
cludes reports from retiring officers, the
election Of officers, the designation of
officers. the time and place for the
next national convention; consideration
of amendments to the constitution and
a discussion of plans for club work and
organization.
There viii be an evening mass meet
ing addressed by Republican leaders on
national affairs. The call saws:
This convention will be the tenth
anniversary of the formation of the
National Republican League, and it
will be celebrated by a rece0tion in
honor of the ex-0residents of the
league,all of whom will be in attend
ance.
I'VE cannot estimate the importance
of this convention to the Republican
party. Our victory last year does not
guarantee permanency Of power. We
must keep our organization well
equipped for the contest in 1888, when
we will again vote for members of con-
gress. In many of our state elections
this year the terms of members of the
United States senate are at stake, and
as our majority in that body can be
hardly seen by the close observer, 1t
behooves us to fortify ourselves against
the anemv.
Let US come together in large num-
bers at Detroit for the purpose OF re-
viving and charging our political en-
thusiasn, so that we may return to our
homes better qualified TO defend Re-
publican principles and better able to
carry out the purposes of the league"

Washington, May 31.-Secretary Gage
has returned to this city from Cincin-
natl, where he was a guest at the
banquet given last Friday by the Com
mercial club of the city. to the visiting
clubs from Chicago, Boston and St.
Louis.
Mr. Gage said today that a feeling Of
Impotence seemed to be general among
the people at the delay in the passage
OF tariff bill.
The country was in a condition ap-
preaching stagnation, and although the
public realize that the greatest care is
necessary in the construction of bill
of such vast importance. the people
were beginning to complain of the time
being consumed. What they most
wanted was the prompt passage of
tariff bill that would produce sufficient
revenues, and with that question out
of the way the government could take
up the question of reform in the cur
rency. The business men in attendance
on the Cincinnati meeting, Mr. Gage
thought. were agreed that currency
commission should be authorized and
appointed at once, with a view TO the
reformation plan, which could be pre-
sented to congress on its re-assembling
in December. During the recess of
congress it was thought that hearings
could and should be given to those who
might desire to be heard from all parts
of the country. 1t was a great ques-
ton, he added, and should have the
fullest discussion. If the commission
should fail to agree upon satisfactory
plan, the administration would have a
proposition to present to congress- In
any event the people with whom the
secretary conferred, agreed that some
action shuld be taken.
The business of the country impa-
tientlY demanded il. he concluded.
