abstract of the platform: It reaffirms
the last national republican platform.
A comparison is drawn between what is
termed the deplorable conditions prevail
ing at the close of Clevlands adminis-
traton and the industrial activity aud
financial security at the close of the
present administration. It endorses the
present administration and instructs
the national delegates for Mckinley. It
declares for national defense, for rein
forecment of the navy, for enlargement
of our foreign markets, employment of
American Workmen in the mines, forests,
farms, mills, factories and shipyards, i'm
mediate enactment of legislation similar
to that favorably reported each branch
of congress SO that American built,
American owned and American manned
ships may regain the carrying of our
foreign commerce. The country is con-
graduated that the money question no
longer disturbs business conditions and
that the gold standard is now the mon
etary unit of value.
The election of United States senators by
the people is favored and an amendment to
the federal constitution to that effect is de-
manded The convention declares Its con-
tnued belief in the political and personal
integrity of ex-senator Quay, and records
its firm conviction of the governors right
to appoint him to seat in the United
States senate. Senator Penrose is also COM

BRITISH SUCCESS
ROUTED THE BOERS

repulsed the attack, little further anxiety
is felt on his account
Lord Roberts has now spread net with
some 10000 or more men and 15O guns, COW
ering the whole western semi-circle around
Wepener, while General Hamilton has occu-
pied the waterworks practically without
opposition.
The Seventh division. under General
Ticker. assisted by naval guns, has made
demonstration from Karee Siding the
Beers showing some opposition. At the
same time brigade moved out from Glen
to take up a position on a range of hills
at Gennaadenale, north of the Modder. The
waterworks were found undamaged, with
the exception of the removal of the sliding
valves Of the pumping engines
The Beers can now only escape, without
risking an encounter, northward to Lady
brand, and the chances of successful out
come of the plans of Lord Roberts depends
on whether the British troops can reach
Thaba N'Chu and Ladybrand before the re-
treating commandos from Dewetsdorp and
Wepener.
All the correspondents report that the
roads are in a terrible condition, which ac-
counts for the slow progress of the British
columns, and if the Beers are as well in
formed of the British plans as they hitherto
have been they are likely again to escape
1t Is now within three weeks of the date
set for the British occupation of Pretoria
and although the present operations, as
suggested in some quarters, may be the
beginning of the main advance, 1t is not
certain that they will not entail further
halt at Bloemfontein.

No Conspiracy Planned.

New York. April 25.-A special to the
Herald from Washington says: An inves-
tigation extending over the last two months
into the reports that a conspiracy had been
planned in the United States against Cam
ada on account of the Boer war has
brought Out nothing to substantiate them
This investigation was conducted az re-
suit of representations made to the state
department by the British governmeht. It
is cerainly a fact, according to state DEPART
ment officials, that no evidence has been
obtained showing that persons in this eoun-
try conspired to destroy the Welland canal.

For Foreigners Good.

Washington, April A.-The judiciary COM

able report on the bill providing means of
indemnifying foreigners injured in person
or property through mob violence or other
wise in this country. The measure grows
out of the lynching of Italians in Louisiana
and the representations made by Italy
through Baron Fava, the Italian ambassa-
dor. In case the bill becomes law, it is
understood its provisions will cover cases
arising one year prior to the enactment,
which probably you'd include the last Ital-
ian affair in Louisiana.

 From Leslfe's Weekly: All who hope and believe that=the conditions of hu- man life throughout the world are gradually improving will find practical support for their hope and belief in an address recently delivered before the British Medical association by it's president, Dr. Ward Cousins. Among other things Dr. Cousins discussed the future progress of preventive medicine and predicted steady and great de- cline in the death rate in the coming century. For the realization of this great object he looked, above all, and rightly looked, to an improvement in the conditions and in the dwellings of the working classes. And he was es- pecially right in pointing out that this improvement cannot come from mere legislation. The great mass of the people must become willing and active helpers" he said, and in equally true words he showed how largely the pre- vention of suffering and the preserva- tion of health are within the reach of the working classes in our great towns if they will only cultivate temperance and cleanliness. In this connection we are gratified to observe the action of the New York health board in dis~ tributing among the people circular setting forth ill clear and simple lan- guage various easy methods to be ob- served for the prevention of disease. the spread of epidemies and some sound advice generally in regard to healthful living. This is practical service for the public good and it will undoubtedly be successful to material degree in further decrease Of the mortality rates.

TIE QUEER cADDlcE-woRM.
It's Miniature Log Cabin at the Bottom
 of the Brook.

Perchance during some summers stroll your steps may lead you by sparkling, woodland brook. Here pause moment, and placing your face close to the surface of dark and quiet pool, look closely at the bot tom. Among the sand and pebbles you will see a number of small bundles or sticks and little cylinders of tiny stones, moving about as though en- dowed with life. If you take them out, however, they are apparently dead and entirely devoid of motive power. But break them open, and you will find each one to be little tuoe lined with soft and shining silk, ana containing whitish caterplllar-nke larva. This. then, is the solution or the puzz1e-when the grub wishes 10 move about, he projects the forward part of his body from the tube and crawls around, dragging his house behind him. But the moment he IS disturbed or frightened, he draws back into his safe retreat, wherein he remains hidden as long as danger threatens. You will find the little tubes of various kinds, shapes and sizes. Some are cylindrical, made or sticks placed lengthwise, while others are like log houses of straw, the pieces being fastened crosswise. These min iature log cabins are often decorated with tiny snail-sheH fastened to the walls, and moreover, the shells are not always empty. Quite often you may find living snails securely attached, and thus compelled to move about at the will of their landlord. Other tubes are built entirely of bits of moss and leaves. The commonest forms are those composed of little pebbles or grains of sand. These are usually very regular and smooth cylinders, in which the grains are all of nearly equal size, but among them you may frequently find some with several larger stones fastened to either side in very cuf1- ous manner By far the prettiest houses of all are shaped like little spiral shells and are composed entirely of almost mieroscopical- stones.- Popular Science.

The women are fine workers, it is said, and know how to handle a fire with as little confusion as possible.

Executive
 France, which assumes the respon- sibility of furnishing the president with his household needs, is not par. ticniarly lavish in shis respect. The highest representative Of the republic receives free his hest, light. kitchen utensils, linen, porcelain and glass; ware and certain sum of money to defray expenses of wear and tear. He is entitled to eight damask table- cloths. one dozen each of spoons, knives and forks. For company there are added three more sets of about eighty pieces. Then there is special service of 110 pieces These. however. are used only on special occasions. The allowance of bed clothing would not suffice for an American housewife. He receives four towels for himself and six for his family; these are not changed more than once in eight days unless he makes special requisition for more. He is also the lucky possessor of 120 dozen dinner napkins and thirty dozen for tea service His household retinue consists of one housekeeper, one chef, five cooks, four ushers, eight lackeys, six clerks, one overseer and one coachman. The president has to provide his own private equipages. as he is entitled only to three vehicles. one for travelling. one to receive guests in and one for his messengers.
