SILK WORMS AT WORK.
A Very Interesting Exhibit in Ston,
~ Thomas show Window.

One of the most interesting sights in
wheeling, and one that will attract
general attention is an exhibit of silk
worms at their regular toll in one of
Stone & Thomas show windows.
The worms were secured from DR.. w.
H. Hill, the famous sericulturist of
Peoria, Ill, and arrived in the city yes
terday and were at once given the en-
tire window, where the little silk max
ers will appear in all stages from the
chrysaliS to the moth, some feeding on
Usage leaves, orange leaves, some spin
ming their and some already in
their self-made sephulcher patiently
waiting their transformation into a per-
feet moth.
The window has been suitably drap-
ed for the occasion and a frame work
covered with mosquito netting inside o.
which are the worms. Last night they
spent the time feeding on the Usage
leaves. After they have gotten all they
want, which will probably be some time
to-day, they will begin spinning. the
most interesting part OF silk culture.
Before the busy little workers weave
for themselves the cocoon from which
they never emerge, they throw out
what is known as spun silk" after be-
ing manufactured. This will be a beau
tiful sight when all the worms begin to
spin.
Many grown up people will view the
sight with interest and parents who
permit their children to see the exhibit
will he giving them a lesson in natural
history they'll never forget.

MARYLAND REPUBLICANS.
State Convention Assembled at Bal
timore Today -.

timore Today. -,
BALTIMORE, Aug. 6.-The issues in
the campaign which will determine
whether or not Arthur Pue German
will again occupy a seat in the United
States senate and become a factor IN
national politics were made up today by
the action of the Republicans at their
state convention.
They met here as did the Democrats
week ago, and like the Democrats paid
more attention to the adoption of plat
form than to the selection of candidates
for the minor offices of comptroller and
clerk of the court of appeals. There
were but two aspirants for the former
position, whose names were under con-
sideration before the convention assem-
bled. Of these ex-COngressmen Barber
of Talbot was the favorite from the
eastern shore, while Herman S. Platt of
Baltimore City was understood to be
the choice of the leaders and of the del
egates from most Of the western coun
ties. Thomas T. Parran of Calvert was
far and away the leader in the race for
clerk of the court of appeals, his oppo-
nents being J. E. Belt of Prince Georges
and J. E. Waddell of Dorchester.
q The platform is Tie work of United
States Senator McComas and P. S. Gold
borough, chairman of the state central
| committee, VINO is regarded as a prom
Using candidate for the seat of Senator
Wellington III the event of Republican
successes.
In the event of Democratic declara-
ton of principles last week much
stress is thrown on national issues. The
policy of the Republican party on the
tariff, the currency and other vital
questions of national moment is vigo-
rously commended, while that Of the
| Democrats of the state is as vigo.
rously denounced. Governor Smith
comes in for a full measure of condem-
nation for having called the special ses-
sion of the legislature. which was held
in the spring of this year, while the
party which placed him in office is sound
ly berated for having passed the new
election laws.

Only Place al the Capital, According

FIRE WAS NOT INCENDIARY
GEN. SCHWARTZKOPF, COUNT WAL
DERsEE's CHIEF OF STAFF, DEAD.
Burning of the Place Officially Re-
ported by Mr.. Squiers, United states
Charge in COnger's Absence.

WASHINGTON. April 1S.-The secretary
of state received a cable message this
morning from Mr.. Squiers, United States
charge at Peking, dated April IS, saying
that winter palace, occupied by Won Wal
dersee. accidentally destroyed by fire. Gen.
Schwartzkopf, chief of stan. fatally
burned"
This incident may prove more serious
than appears on the surface. 1t is known
from diplomatic communications received
in Washington that intense feeling has
been aroused among the Chinese over the
occupation Of the dowager Empress's pal
ace by Count Won Waldersee and his mill
tary staff. This was graphically set forth
in letter recently received here from
one OF the foremost officials at Peking.
He described in detail the manner in which
the palace had been turned over to mill
tary uses and commented on the indignity
which it involved to the Chinese people and
to the imperial family. Moreover, 1t is
known that this military occupation of the
imperial palace was q moving cause for
the rejection of all overtures for the re-
turn of the imperial family to Peking
From the Chinese standpoint it was i'm
possible to even consider the return of the
imperial family so long as the commander
in-chief of the allied forces was i'm actual
occupation of the Empress's palace.
Now that the palace is entirely destroyed
1t may have bearing on the return of the
imperial family. While there is no longer
the objection that the palace is occupied
by the foreign commander yet a new OBJ
lection is created in the removal of the
palace itself, for under Chinese usage the
imperial family must occupy those ex-
elusive quarters reserved for them within
the prohibited precincts.
The body of General Schwartzkopf. it
was announced this evening i'm a dispatch
from Peking, has been found. The body
of his dog was first found. and IL is sup
posed the general re-entered the palace to
rescue the dog. The suspicion of incen-
diarism is not borne out. 1t is believed
the fire originated in the pantry near Won
Waldersee's kitchen. Lieutenant Colonel
Marchand, the French officer who came into
prominence at the time of the Fashoda
incident, distinguished himself in the work
of rescue.

INVASION OF KENTUCKY
SEVERAL HUNDRED INDIANA MIN
ERs LEAVE FOR THAT STATE.
They Go to Enforce the Indiana Union
Scale and Are Said to Be Armed
Cause of the Trouble.
ecial to the Indianapolis Journal.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
EVANSVILLE, Ind, April 1S.-The coal
mining situation assumed alarming
phase here this evening. Several hundred
miners, said to be armed, left here this
evening by special boat for western Ken
lucky, where they go to enforce the In
diana scale of wages The United Mine
Workers are responsible for the present
trouble, having fixed the Kentucky scale
of mining at about 3s per cent. less than
that in Indiana, with the result that the
Kentucky operators are flooding this mar
ket with their product and causing mines
In southern Indiana to be closed in self
protection. The Kentucky field is so close
to this territory that there is no longer
competition. This has resulted In several
hundred miners being thrown out of en-
ployment
An effort to relief through the
United Mine Workers failed and the union
miners in this section have decided to take
matters into their own hands. Several
secret meetings have been held here this
week with the result that a steamboat
was chartered and stocked with food. and
the men go to enforce demands that have
failed of success through peaceable means.
The miners will go to Eastwood Landing.
on Green river, sixty miles above Evans
VILE. and from that point they will invade
Webster and probably Hopkins county.
Kentucky where several thousand union
and nonunion miners employed.
Operators in the Kentucky districts were
apprised OF the intentions of the men and
several are here watching movements.
They say special officers have been sworn
in and will be ready to meet the visitors.
The Kentucky operators are expecting
trouble as soon as the two forces meet.
Both sides are determined, and bloodshed
is likely to result
