lis Wharton Barker.



CINCINNATI, Sept. q. Tie Populist
national convention nominated Wharton
Barker Of Pennsy lvania for President, by
vote of rs 40 as against ~ 10 for L.
natius Donnelly of Minnesota, On mo
tion If Mr.. Donnelly, the nomination Of
Nh. Barker was made unanimous, and
then lgnatius Donnelly was nominated for
Vice President by aCclamdtion.
The corventiou got into such a row this
afternoon that the manager Of the Lyceum
ordered them to leave the hall, fearing
the destruction of Lis property. Order
was finally restored by the Butler faction
boiling and leaving the place.
In the course of to-day's proceedings,
Ignatius Donnelly made radical speech
denouncng all those who had co-operated
with fusion movements and strongly adj
yocated the reorganization of the party,
not only for an Independent Presidential
ticket but for Independent candidates for
Congress, State officers, etc.
A letter was read from ex-Gov. David
Waite of Colorado, in which he denounc-
ed Senator Butler as a treacherous Chair
man and false leader and advocated the
nomination of straight Populistic tickets
for President and other officers
An ella borate address to the people of
the United States was adopted. 1t re- af-
firms the previous platform of the Popu-
lists.
A platform was adopted which incor-
porated the p1ovisio rs of the Omaha plat
form as we'll as the address adopted at
the morning session. The declarations in
the platform do not differ from those of
other platforms except in the plank which
specially denounees Senator Marion But
Ter of North Carolina, as Chairman of the
National Committee, for attempting to
''drise the Populist party into the Demo-
cratic organization"
The resolutions also provide for the re-
organization of the party with Milton
Park of Dallas, Tex, as chairman.
The convention adjourned without fix
ing any time OF place for another conven-
ton, and the delegates consider their
campaign for 1900 now opened.

An Alaskan Bill of Fare.

Thomas Breck writes from Summit,
Alaska, July 23d to his father in North
Nassalboro: Hugh and Bowden We're hunt
ing yesterday and got two woodchucks. We
shall have them for supper. They are twice
as big as the woodchucks at home and are
have eaten one and all liked him. They are
not bit strong or wild in taste. We live
high here We have baked beans baked in the
ground, bacon, and as good biscuits as have
eaten; evaporated peaches, prunes, apples
and apricots, tea, coffee and condensed milk:
good enough for any one | think 7 shall go
after a mess of trout TODAY. This is a great
country for spruce gum"

Short=Iived Placer Diggings.

Captain John McCafferty, ex-colector
OF customs for Alaska, has arrived at San
Francisco from Dawson City His sum
ming up of his experience is that the gold
placer diggings Of Alaska are short lived
and that there are no true assure veins in
that territory because the country is much
broken up and because the geological in
dications are such as to warrant the con
viction that there is no gold bearing
quartz in the placer Large broken de-
posits of gold or bonanzas may be found
there but they will be of the nature of
pockets and will not last.

cUBA's RAINY SEASON.
Medical and Other Experts on the
Prevailing Conditions ON
the Island.

II medical authorities and the opin-
ions OF those who have been in Cuba and
other tropical climates are not at fault,
the popular belief that it will be fatal
TO send troops to Cuba until after the
kainy season is over is erroneous. The
surgeon general of the army, a very
high authority on the subject, is quoted
rs saying that he Is confident the eX-
cellent sanitary provisions of the serv-
ice viii prevent any greater mortality
from fever in Cuba than is occasioned
by diseases common in more northern
latitudes, "where the health Of the sol
diers has been much better than that
of the great cities where they have been
stationed" The surgeon general of the
navy, who had charge of II squadron at
Rio Janeiro in a very sickly season and
did not lose q man by yellow fever,
hopes % be equally fortunate now. VIII
liam T. Hornaday, who has spent years
in tropical jungles worse than any in
Cuba, writes the Army and Navy Jour-
nal that if our soldiers are properly
equipped, fed and cared for, and take
reasonable care Of themselves, they will
fare no worse in a rainy season cam
paign In Cuba than they would in Ar
kansas and Alabama. The equipment,
he says, should include an adequate sup
ply of hemp twine hammocks to keep
the men off the ground at night. He
would have oilskin sheets for shelter,
rubber blankets, hickory shirts, short
/ trousers, with q band and button just
below the knee, woolen stockings up
to the knee, and the very best shoes OBJ
tainable.
The Army and Navy Journal pub
lishes an interesting interview with Mr..
Fullerton, who has explored a large
part of Cuba on bicycle. he says that
If good water is not to be found on the
surface, it can always be obtained by
boring. lie thinks that "the wet season
should count for scarcely anything in
case the army is properly equipped and
is supplied with good food" Regarding
the occupation Of Cuba by United States
troops, Mr.. Fullerton says;
'To the southwest of Havana, prob
ably not more than 20 or 30 miles, on the
Caribbean side, there are coves and
landing places where any number OF
troops could be disembarked with
safety, with all the artillery they might
wish to take with them. These places
are not fortified, for the very reason
that Spain cannot afford to fortify
them; the same reason as that which
keeps the defenses Of Havana so anti
quated."
Other men who have been much IL
Cuba express similar views regarding
the climate during the rainy season
There IS little danger If the proper car,
is exercised. Consul-General Lee, /
will be remembered, In his testimony
declared that our troops would not b
exposed to unusual disease by invading
; the island during the rainy season.

VISIT TO A MANDARIN.
by n European in Making "A
Call on the Magnnte.

The precincts of a yamen (oflcial
residences in China) are invariably
walled round, and the only entrance is
on the south side. Over the gateway is
a heavy tiled roof, and this tiled roof
is supported in front by two strong
poles resting on stones. The gates are
of wood and consist of three portions;
the central portion of two leaves, gayly
painted with allegorical figures, is only
used by the mandarin himself, his
equals or his superiors; the two side
entrances. half the breadth of the cen
tral, by servants and officials of subor-
dinate degree. If the yamen is a large
one, there are two rooted orchestra
boxes, one at each side Of the entrance,
and some so or 100 feet from it out
side, and as the visitor enters in his
palanquin these orchestra boxes dis
course music in the shape Of Chinese
airs of the squealliest description.
If the visitor is entitled TO a salute
(never more, never fewer than three
"guns'), three iron mortars are fired
off by man with a long stick, just as
the visitor enters the gate. Military
men are supposed to 60 on horseback,
and in order to keep this semblance Of
manliness often have their nag led be-
hind the chair, but, roundly speaking,
it may be said that in these degenerate
days all visits are made in chairs.
One would have thought that, with
so many doors and a sedan chair well
coined by guns and yusic, the entrance
of visitor would have been a simple
matter. But no; with Europeans the
question is, or used to be. raised wheth-
er the middle door shall be opened at
all, and, however carefully the appoint
ment may have been made, the man
aarin or one Of his servants usually man
ages to keep the chair waiting for few
minutes just to take a rise" out of the
visitor. During this mauvais quart
d'heure all the boys and roughs in the
neighborbood congregate noisily and
make rude remarks; the chairbearers.

oKEITIH's THEATRE.'


This weeks gathering of entertainers
at Keith's Theatre, Philadelphia, may
fairly be termed a mammoth com
pany." Fifty negro vocalists are en-
ployed for the Animated Song Sheet,
though only forty-one heads will be in
evidence. The specialists number
twenty-eight, and they include many Of
the best players in the world Of va
riety. There will be fourteen biograph
living pictures, including four new
and highly interesting films. Patrice
the sOubrette star, and her company,
Will doubtless repeat their former sue
cess in "a New Years Dream" one Of
the most enjoyable sketches yet seen
here. The Carl Damann Troupe Of ac-
robats have hitherto thrilled local the
atre-goers, much OF their act being un-
like the work Of other gymnasts. Prob
ably the most sensational biOgraph
picture ever shown is that of a score Of
horses jumping hurdles. Horrihed
women have screamed at each exhibit
tiOn, when one Of the horses fell, rolled
over the rider, and the latter limped
away, evidently seriously injured. The
view of a tug in the English channel
has attracted hundreds Of people who
have crossed this stretch Of water.
Three Of the pictures elicit laughter.
This weeks new films are entitled;
Duel Between an American and a
Spanish Sailor" 4" Memorial Day, 1898,
Standing in S.tirrups, jumping Hur-
dies" and "The Old-time Ball Player.
The ''war history" includes the pathetic
picture of the wreck of the Maine, a
spct where 266 Americans were Oblit-
Grated, What Our Boys Did at Ma
nila," and "SkiTmish Fight in Cuba. u
The Biograph will be exhibited at 3,
and p. m. daily this week. The stere-
opticon views will be new and the pic
trres will all be timely.
