There is a variety OF grebe (colym-

a regular raft. Its nest is d mass Of
strong stems OF aquatic plants closely
fastened together. These plants con
tain a considerable quantity of air in
their cells and set free gases in the
process of d~ecaying. The air and the
gases imprisoned in the plant make
the nest lighter than water. The bird

powers having interests in China
Count Mouravief concludes lis
letter with the expression of the COLI
viction that his reply is such as to
satisfy the inquiry made by the repre-
sentative of the State Department of
our government.
What right had the Russian minis-
| ter for foreign affairs or Mr.. White,
our charge at London, to assume that
the reply just quoted would be accept
ed as an acquiescence in our proposal?
The National Review points out,
first, that Russia does not undertake
to abstain from interfering with vest
ed interests or treatyports within her
present or future sphere of interest,""
secondly, that she does not under
take to preserve the Chinese tariff
within her sphere" and, again, that
she does not even promise that there
shall be equal Earbor dues or railway
rates within her sphere" All that
Count Mouravieff says is that Tallen-
wan, or Dalny, as the Russians have
renamed it, had already been declared
free port, and the value of even this
concession is qualified by the intima-
ton that a tariff wall may be erected
eventually outside of that port.

H4NNA'S TRUST PLANK.

The following is the so-called trust
plank framed at the Republican Con-
vention in Philadelphia
1--WE recognize the necessity and
propriety of the honest cooperation
of capital to meet new business condi-
tians and especially to extend our rap
idly increasing foreign trade, but we
condemn all conspiracies and combina-
tions intended to restrict business, to
create monopolies and to limit pro-
duction or to control prices, and favor
such legislation as will effectually re-
strain and prevent all such abuses,
protect and promote competition and
secure the rights of producers, laborers
and all who are engaged in industry
and commerce"
With this plank the Republican
campaign managers intend to play
upon the credulity of the American
people. The full extent of the hypoc-
risy involved in this attempt to mock
the intelligence of the voters with in

was the master mind at the Republi-

HOW IT WAS DONE.

Tine manner in which the "Roose
yelt landslide" was generated and
engineered and brought to bear for
the purpose of landing the bumptious
youn: New Yorker on the Hanna
ticket is best shown by the following
account OF what transpired on the
night before the nomination. The
description is furnished by the CORE.
spondent of the Republican Chicago
Tribune, and must be presumed not
to be prejudiced against the success of
the Philadelphia ticket. Mr.. Hanna
was in his headquarters at the Hotel
Walton arranging the few remaining
details of his convention. He had
only to settle the vice-presidential
contest, so-called, and his work would
be finished. He sent for Mr.. Dolliver
of Iowa and crushed that interesting
young mans boom between the
thumb and forefinger of his doughty
right hand. Mr.. Dolliver went away
properly subdued and abandoned all
his ambitious to hold place on the
ticket, Hanna then sent for Roose
Welt, who, OF course came promptly at
call. What happened then is thus
described by the Tribune correspond
ent:
And now" said Senator Hanna,
will you, Governor Roosevelt, accept
the nomination for vice-president?'
AT your hands, and under the cir
cumstances. will accept it," replied
Governor Roosevelt. 81 am always
to act at the behest CT the party, but
not at the behest of an individual"
Senator Hanna then addressed Gov
ernor Roosevelt in the most friendly
terms, the olive branch thus extended
was accepted by Governor Roosevelt,
and the two shock hands in the most
friendly manner.
Senator Hanna then asked Cover
nor Roosevelt to name the man who
should present his name to the con-
vention, and the governor graciously
told Mr.. Hanna that the honor Of
making the selection should be his.
So ends the political career OF an in
teresting and at one time supposedly
forceful independent in politics"
Mark Hanna has swallowed Roose.
welt, independence and all, and the
ticket is Hanna ticket at both ends.
One Of the most fearful catas-
trophies OF several years occurred on
Saturday afternoon at Hoboken, New
Jersey, when the North German Lloyd
steamships saale, Bremen and Main
were destroyed by fire, the loss Of life
and property being fearful. Conser-
vative estimates place the loss OF life
at 200 souls, with nearly 400 injured
while the property loss will reach
fully 100000. The fire originated
among some cotton bales, and in lets
than a quarter of an hour it covered
an area of 1 900 feet wide and a quarter
of mile long. A number of loaded
lighters and other small boats were
destroyed. The accounts published
of the terrible holocaust are harrow
ing and pitiful in the extreme.
With the retirement OF Mr.. n. N.
Mock as editor of the Bel dir Times
the newspaper fraternity has lost one
of its most energetic workers. His
trenchant pen has, we hope, only been
laid aside as the county
press has had few more efficient mem
berg.
