any one.
DR.. X. c. Flower is no newcomer in
this country as for nearly generation

miraculous cures. A recent writer in
describing DR.. Flowers cure of the ten
year-old daughter of DR.. Taylor OF Paige,

tant and beneficial effect on the Cuban
question and the relations between the
United States and Spain. Sagasta is
now past seventy, but still retains
the vigor that made him a natural
leader of the Liberals in earlier days.
OF all the Spanish statesmen he is re-
garded as the one most friendly to this
country.
Those conversant with the Spanish
system say the crisis is not likely to
continue beyond five or six days, as
Spain cannot afford to be without a
cabinet for any great length of time
at this juncture. The summoning of
Sagasta to Madrid will not, it is said,
show positively that he is to form a
cabinet. The procedure is for the
queen regent to summon the leaders
of all elements, to the number of 100
or more, not to get their political
views, but to learn from them the
state of public opinion. From these
consultations the queer Is enabled to
determine what form Of ministry and
what leaders will be INST acceptable
to the people. Her suulnloning of
leader to form a cabinet is also con-
ditional, and it remains for him to
learn, after comforting with his party
associates, whether he can present
ministry acceptable to the crown and
capable of commanding public support
For the present the s'cTi;5s has had the
effect of postponing action on ques-
tions between the United States and
Spain, as nothing can 9e done by Ell
ther country Until permanent min,
istry is formed. ~

their hands while they were searched.
The robbers secured about SIS. Fifteen
minutes later the second stage, the
regular four-horse vehicle, came along
and the driver was ordered to halt.
The robbers fired one shot with a rifle
into the hood of the stage. The bullet
glanced and wounded both of the male
passengers. The third passenger,
woman, escaped injury. The trio were
also compelled to hand over their
money, about $100. The robbers then
disappeared in the brush, but emerged
a few hundred yards distant and held
up the third carriage, which was
drawn by two horses, and contained
two men and a woman also. After re-
I1eving the passengers and driver of
their purses, the robbers decamped

There was neither improvement nor ag-
gravation Of the yellow fever situation
here today. Cases were numerousy
reported, and as early as o'clock,
threatened to equal if rot exceed the
number last night, but at that hour
the death record was small. The fever
seems to be slowly spreading around
town. but up to the present time no
nest of new cases has been round, ana
the authorities have thus been able TO
carry on their work Of quarantine with
some success. Many of the cases With
in the past few days have been fouho

listed. but the instances are rare Where
the cases have been transmitted from
one house to another adjoining. les

record today was as follows: Deaths

were mingled with Kisses.

closed there were cries of "Sohmer,
Sohmer." Some one called out "What's
the matter with Hugh ]. Grant?"
Hes all right" was the shout in re-.
ply.
John ]. Foote protested against the
vote of the borough of Brooklyn being
cast for Van Wyck. The vote of the
entire Brooklyn delegation had already
been announced for Van Wyck. There
was the widest kind of uproar for sew
eral minutes. In endeavoring to restore
order the chairman nearly split the
table with his gavel. He pounded
away, but the crowd kept up the racket,
during which Mr.. Foote climbed onto
the platform and demanded to be
heard
Chairman Jenkins ruled that Foote
could not be heard He said that a
resolution had been adopted that the
chairmen of each borough should cast
the vote of each borough. and that
Foote could not have any say. After
a futile effort, Mr.. Foote left the plat
form.
The demonstration for Van Wyck was
confined to strict organization men. All
of the boroughs voted for Van Wyck
without any hitch other than Mr..
Foote'S interruption. The announce
ment that Van Wyck was the choice of
the convention, was the signal for a
storm of Kisses from a large portion Of
the audience and from the Brooklyn
delegation, which it took the band to
drown.
The name of Bird S. Coler was pre-
sented for comptroller. Coler'S name
was received with cheers. There was
no counter demonstration. Mr.. Coler
was unanimously nominated. Jacob
Rupert Jr., was unanimously nominat-
ed for president of the council. A COM
mittee on notification was appointed,
John G. Sheehan being chairman. The
convention adjourned at 11:04 o'clock.

John C. Sheehan, who nominated Con-
