There was talk last night of various
combinations to turn delegates to dark
horses in the convention. There were
also charges made that although Mr..
Driscoll had received more delegates
than any other candidate, he would not
stand for the nomination, but would
endeavor to turn his delegates to Mr..
States. The charge was denied by
some of Mr.. Driscolls strongest sup
porters, who said that they would in
sist that he stand for the nominatin in
the convention, instead Of waiting for
the appointment as corporation counsel.

termined to demonstrate to Europe that
the British army is not a neglible
quantity.
Both the attitude of Europe and that
of the natives of South Africa have
something TO do with this attitude and
the lavish display of force is intended
doubtless, not only to check the i'll will
apparent on both sides of the Rhine and
beyond the Vistula, but also to guard
against the black peril.
According to the statistics published
this year the militia, including the
permanent staff and the militia reserve,
numbers 1872, 1893. It is not believed the
militia are to be sent to South Africa
Presumably they will replenish the
denuded British garrison towns, and
thus permit the government to send
Ito the Cape all the regulars rendered
necessary by the developments in
South Africa.
The house agreed to consider the
royal message tomorrow. A motion by
Mr.. Balfour appropria ting the entire
special session for government business
was carried by 279 votes against IS.

1t is explained that the $4,000 men

Selected Hall Close to Medical Col

streets, on Doctors Drugs and tine
Devil
DR.. Dowie had announced that he
wished 10000 medical students would
attend the exercises. The lecture hall
is located close to several large n1edl-
eel colleges, and the students accepted
the invitation with the greatest enthu-
siasm.
Fully $500 students gathered at Wood
and Harrison streets and marched TO
the Tabernacle. Every student was
provided with small bottles of nftride
of ammonia and hydro sulphurate OF
ammonia, with which they intended TO
lombard Dowie when he began his adj
dress.
The police had, however, learned of
the plan, and thirty officers were placed
in front of the hall to bar the students
out As the carriage containing DR..
Dowie approached the alleged healer
was greeted with yells and a shower OF
missiles. In q few instances stones were
used, and ammonia by the pint was
thrown into the carriage.
Guarded by the police and lodging
the missiles, Dowie was driven to the
door of the hall, where he was dragged
through the throng by half a dozen Of
ficerS. The students were forced back
by the police, but managed to hurl
enough bottles of ammonia into the
hall to force the waiting audience to
rush out into the air. To, the few who
remained Dewie made his talk, but it
was very milk affair, compared to the
harangues he frequently bestows upon
the medical profession.
Bottles of ammonia were hurled
through the open windows, and when
the windows wefs closed the glass was
smashed with stones and the tide of
ammonia flowed steadily in. The stu
dents made a determined effort to mob
Dowfe as he left. and the police were
forced to use their clubs vigorously to
force a passage for him.

An Exceptional Meter.

1t was at a recent gathering of an cleo
trical association in a small city at which
a weeks exhibition of various electrical
goods was made that a New York supply
man unpacked his Illuminated sign in
the presence of the agent of the local
electric light company. ''How much for
current to light the sign for the week."
said the supply man.
Thirty dollars. answered the electric
light man.

Call it S25.' 81
Not much; but. say. you put in a meter
and Ill pay YOU regular rates"
The electric light man could not let
this bluff pass him. so he agreed. On
the last day of the exhibition he came
around to where the sign was being
packed UP and said. See here, perhaps
you feel that / was trying to charge you
too much for current for that sign. Eve
got the meter BILL but suppose you just
pay us SO and call IL square
The supply man said he had agreed to
pay the meter bill. and that was what he
intended to pay--neitler more nor less.

QUEER TALE OF ARCTIC SEAS.
Ship Icebound For Fifty Years Drifts
Into the Harbor Of Corvo.

Into the haTDor OF Corvo.
One of the most curious finds ever
made from the sea was that which
came to the Azores in 1853. The island
OF Corvo was then I'm possession of two
beach-cOmbers, runaway English sail
orS. There came drifting into little
harbGr one morning a craft which had
evidently been frozen in the ice for Il
lifetime, and had lately been released
1t had come down from Davis strait,
and was an ancient and battered hulk
without mastS, bulwarks. or name. The
craft had been a brig, and she was d
Russian. Her matches were on and
her cabin doors fast, and the hulk
was buOyant. She had come out Of
the belly of an iceberg. She had little
cargo, and that consisted of skins and
furs in prime condition. No papers
were found in her cabin but it was
figured that she was a sealer or trader.
carrying a. crew of ten or twelve, and
that she had been prOvisioned for d
year The -four found aboard tasted
like chalk, but the beef was perhaps
better than the day it was put on
board. She had been abandoned when
frozen in, and the dark color of the
woodwork and the growth of mosc
proved that she had drifted for wears.
Then she got fast in the ice. and be-
came part of a berg.
The date of a letter found in her
forecastle showed that she had been
abandoned nearly half a century before.
The hulk drifted on to q sandy beach,
and the Combers went to work ON her.
They got out the furs. which brought
them $4,000. h0isted out 60 couple of
barrels of beef, and then set fire to the
wreck. and little remained OIL her when
the story leaked out. That the hulk
had come down from the far north was
proved only a, few weeks later by the
log of an English merchantmen. She
reported passing a. great iseberg to the
northwest of the Azores, and of seeing
a curious object embedded in it fifty
feet above the surface of the water.
This object was believed to be q whale,
but il was probably the hull of the
brig. Getting down into the warm
seas, the berg fell to pieces, and that
queer old relic found herself afoat
again.

Not On the Time Table.


In the rarGfied atmosphere OF the
high ta5leIands Of Mexico objects that

there is no curve) that is said to be the
longest in the world. 1t is over sixty
miles In length, and q locomotive head
light can be seen, of course, for a very
loEg distance.
One evening a train rounded the
curve approaching this tangent. and
as it entered on the straight track its
brakes suddenly began to grind. 1t
soon came to a standstill, and the con-
ductOr, fearing that an accident had
befallen the engine. hurried forward,
and was shown by the engineer a light

track directly ahead.

the action of General Otis in directing

the south Of Manila, and General Law
ton to the north. when it is very Wen
understood that the climatic conditions
are not such as TO permit satisfactory
campaigning.
il is apparent from Otis official ois-
patches that he never had any seri-
Gus intention of directing the occupa-
ton OF territory south OF Manila,
though il was the understanding OF the
officials that such occupation would oc--
cur in the important towns captured
in the north. The purpose Of the move
ment under the command OF General
Schwan as explained by General Otis,
was to disintegrate the inSurgent forces
and destroy their stores.

Of insurgents is said to be in accord
ance with the instructions given by the
president. Reports received from Rear
Admiral Watson show that both rice
and hemp have appreciated in value

so far as ne is informed the hospital
accommodations are large enough. In
any event he has sent ample medical
supplies, and medical attendance to the
Philippines for the needs of the troops
as well as their prospective needs in
the coming campaign.

The state of affairs in Africa having

majesty. a case of emergency within
the meaning of the act of parliament
her majesty deems it proper to provide
additional means for military service.
She has therefore thought it right to
communicate to the house that her
majesty is, by proclamation, about to
order the embodiment of the militia
and to call out the military reserve
force or such part thereof as her ma
jesty may think necessary for perma-

The calling out of the militia and the
military reserves has occasioned wide
spread wonderment. Old stories of
preparations against continental COM
