The ivory trade with Africa is con,
Quoted on a scale of far greater di.
mansions than most people have any
idea OF. Last year nearly 700 tons
were imported into London alone,
says Penrson's Weekly.
This would mean that i'll the ordi,
nary way the elephants would soon
become killed OFF, were not the larg-
est part of the importation taken from
the stores which have been laid up by
nature, as if in anticipation Of the re-
quirements Of modern people.
These stores are practically the CEN.
eteries of the elephant world for cen
turtles aud centuries, and the ivory is
fetched from them by the natives, and
sold to the traders, TO DO by them ex-

Plat on Thursday night was made the Re-
publican candidate for the United States
Senate to succeed David B. Hill. He re-
eeived 142 votes on the first ballot at q Joint
caucus at which 149 Republicans were pres
ent. Joseph b. Choate received seven votes.
After the result had been announced Sem
ator Brush, Of Kings, who had presented
Mr.. Choate's name; moved to make Mr..
Platt's nomination unanimous. Senator
Pavey, Of New York, who had voted for Mr..
Choate, seconded the motion, and Mr.. Plat
became the unanimous choice of his party
for Senator.
TIL procedure by which Mr.. Platt's lieu
tenants made him their candidate was
unique. MIR. Platt was not formally placed
In nomination. His name was not spoken
In the caucus until senator Bracket, who
came first on the roll call, spoke it when his
name was called on the fist ballot. No sign
was made by anyone that could reconstruct
as a formal indication that Mr.. Piatt was in
the field.
Mr.. Choate was duly nominated, and his
nomination was seconded In speeches which
briefly touched on his ability and fitness for
the office. Mr.. Choate was the only candi-
date before the caucus, and the Platt men
simply ignored him. Not one of the Legis.
lators said q word in eulogy of Mr.. Plat.

Caucus.

Sketch of the Nominee of the Republican
Caucus.
New FORK CIIy.-Thomas Collier Plat
was born In Owego, Tioga County. N. Y,
on July 10, 1888. He was prepared for icol-
lege In his native town, and was entered as
q student at Yale. When in his junior year,
his health failed, I'M he left college n en-
gagged In mercantile pursuits. He was soon
afterward appointed President of the Tioga
County Bank, at Owego. In 1859 Mr.. Plat
became Clerk OF that County, n served for
three years. His business engagements in
cluded those Of Acting President OF the
Southern Central Railroad, and President of
the Tioga Manufacturing Company, at Grand
Rapids, Mich.
As a member of the House OF Representa-
tiyes In the Forty-third and Forty-fourth
Congresses Mr.. Plat enlarged his knowledge
OF National affairs. He was elected United
States senator in 1881, but only served from
March B to July 16, when he resigned, in
company with Roscoe Conkling, because of
Garf1eld's refusal, through Blaine's influence,
to allow them to control Federal appoint
meDts in this State. Mr.. Conkling's regard
for Platt was shown In this telegram, which
was sent when the latter was chosen for the
Senate: ~ congratulate the Republican party
n the State of New York on the choice of
a Senator who never apologized for being u
stalwart Republican. ;.
Mr.. Plat attested his loyalty to his chief
by resigning from the Senate with him. 1t
was not his fight, but Conkling's.
Since Mr.. Oonkling's death Mr.. Plat has
built up a new party organization. For Il
number OF years he has been President of tho
United States Express Company with head
quarters in New York.

AWFUL RAvAoEs OF THE PLAGUE
Moro Than Half Bombay's Population
FIees in Terror.

Moro Than Half Bombay's Population
Flees in Terror.
Over half the population of Bombay, India,
estimated to amount to about 900, 600, has fed
from the plague, and the heretofore crowded
streets, docks and bazaars are not recogniza-
BILE. Business in piece goods, metals, crock
cry and hardware Is at a standstill. The
money lenders have vanished, the courts are
deserted, and the judges and officials have
gone to a healthier cline.
Many of the native doctors, graduates OF
the college, lave fed. and those remaining
refuse to attend plague cases, or, when they
do attend them, will not touch the sufferers,
dreqding contagion. Clerks and others whose
vacations call them to the city daily have fed
to suburban stations, where the people are
mostly living in matched huts.
II is estimated that 800, 600 persons arc en-
camped at Andherl, from whence they will
soon be forced to migrate owing to lack of
water and sanitation, which threatens to
breed cholera. Tho cemeteries are already
filed to overfowing, and the wind Is spread
ing the contagion. The nights are made
hideous by cymbals and melancholy dirges.
Often difficulty is experienced in burying
the dead, friends and relations refusing to
carry the corpses. In some instances women
assist IN carrying them. A large number of
plague corpses remain at the owe OF 81
lence, the Parsee burial place, which have
not been eaten by the vultures inhabiting IT.
Corpses have been found in the streets.

choice, there came responses, Thomas @.
Plattl", except from the few Choate men
and ~Assemblyman Jerry Sullivan, of New
York. who varied the monotony by respond
ing. "a voice from the Bowery-Thomas G.
Platt."
The surprise OF the evening was the vote OF
A~ssemblyman Frederick e. Bates. of Temp
kins County, who voted for Mr.. Choate. He
had been reckoned an Organization man.
His closest associates had no hint that he in
tended to "kick over the traces" He is a
farmer, who has always acted with the freq
ulars."
There were two misunderstanding Wray,
OF Kings, and A~ssemblyman Mackey, of Del
aware County. Mr.. Mackey has been called
away by death In his family. Senator Wray
was on a train from New York, which was
belated. He arrived just as the ca1cus ended,
and said thatif he had been present he would
have voted for Mr.. Plat.
Senator Ellsworth was prepared to nomi-
nate Mr.. Plat. and at least two seconding
speeches were expected. Mr.. Plat sent a
dispatch saying that he preferred that no
speeches be made, and his wishes were re-
spected.
Mr.. Choate's supporters were Senators
Brush. of Brooklyn, Pavey. of New York, and
Tibbitts, Of Rensselaer,, and A~ssemblymen
Bates, Of Tompkins, Lambier, OF New York,
Robbins, OF Allegany, and Sanger, of Oneida.

A s.IooS ON Every CORNER.

The editor of the Baptist Standard, after a
visit to the spot where the awful dynamite
bomb was thrown in tho Chicago Hay
market, May 4tb, 1886, which killed eight
policemen and wounded sixty-eight,
mangling and crippling many of them for
life, writes:
''There, on that corner" said our in
formant, "was where the bomb fell" We
looked, and were satisfied that he was tell
ing the truth. II was such a place as the
emissar,es OF satan would most probably
choose for their infamous work. On the
first corner was n saloon; on the next op.
posite, II saloon; On the corner across the
bisecting street, a saloon; and on the corner
opposite that, a saloon. There were no
more saloons on the corners, because there
were no more corners, but liquor halls were
strung up along either side of the street, as
IL whisky-drinking were the principal occu-
patton of the people OF the vicinity.

WASN'T TRAINED TO DRINK.

II is lunchtime on a famous transatlanti
"%hier," a ship well.nigh GEO feet long, with
engines OF 20,00I horsepower and 1900 voy-
ayers, writes France Z. Willard in Union
sigma.
''Here are your table tickets" said the
steward, aud a minute later l found myself
seated at the captains right hand. The dis
tinction surprised me, for it was usually
given to some famous politician, noted capt.
tallst, or society leader. A teetota!er and
temperance reformer is the last one to be
thus honored, for the captain generally takes
2 glass of wine at dinner, and II he does net
his guests are likely to do so.
But this time our captain was a strict total
abstainer. And why not? He was bred in
Maine from the age OF five, vas n Good Tenn
plar from his youth, and told me he chad
never known the taste of liquor in his life"
He was a noble specimen of m~ankind-over
six feet high and well proportional, weigh.
ing $50 pounds and carrying himself with
gracious dignity.
We talked of his career. He had risen
from 'before the mast" until he had now
been for years captain OF Il f1rst-class ocean
greyhound" and he told me that he owed
1t all to his clean habits. When he first be-
gan to rise, the ship on which he was an Of
flcer put into the port of San Francisco, and
as it was IA great day. all the men were
drinking, the captain leading on and asking
him to Celebrate" II did not know but 1t
would cost me my chance" he told me,
''but l could not go back upon my training,
and l said. Captain, I never touched u drop
in my lie, and I can't begin now" Upon
this the captain clapped him on the shoulder
and said, II wish to God that tine same was
true OF me-"

A song for the men so true,
The sailors OF sunken ships,
The sport Of the winds that blew,
Devoured by the waves white lips.
There, where the seagull dips,
There meath the sky so blue,
There, where tine schoolboy strips
Brave men, there Is rest for you.
A song for the shiPwrecked crew,
The men Of the docks and slips,
Propelled by a sail or screw,
You made many perilous trips;
With the canvas torn TO strips,
Before the gale you few;
No moro the wild wind whips
Brave men, there isEest for you,
A song for the men too few
For nature so few equips-
Who drink that awful brew
That only a brave man sips.
The stanchest of ships are chips;
No power can the sea subdue.
No longer the cold spray drips-
Brave men, there Is rest for you.

The United States Senate passed the meas
ure known as the Free Homestead bill. 1t
is a measure of f~ar-reaehing Importance,
particularly to tho West, and the interest in

to settlement all public lands acquired from
Indians, free OF any payment to the Govern
ment beyond the minor Office tees, and to
release from payment those who heretofore
have settled on these lands. The number OF
acres involved, according to an estimate
made by the Commissioner Of the General
