Of the Wall boom are to be seen on
every hand. The four walls Of the
parlor are adorned with Wall portraits
and banners and Wall buttons and
badges have been dispensed, with a
lavish hand. Neal Brown, chairman
of the delegation, got in last night with
other members, and this morning the
special train bringing the Rose March

and a band, arrived.
Congressman G. II. Weisse, delegate
at-large, said: you can deny for me
the report that we are going to Parker
or any one else in the second ballot
We are going to die behind Wall If we
can not win, altho we are firm in be-
lieving that Wall is the only candidate
upon whom the convention can unite
the factions. We have been offered
the second place on the ticket or at
least l have received assurances that
Wall could have it, but we are after
the presidential nomination. There is
nothing in the story that Mayor Rose
of Milwaukee, is after the vice-presi-
dency, and will desert Wall to secure
the nomination"
g as Rose Nails Misstatement.
Mayor Rose of Milwaukee made the
following statement this morning:
The Wisconsin delegation caucused
the numerous rumors that We're going
the rounds of the hotel Hobbies here

dacy Of Mr.. Wall. The Hearst men
We're claiming us after the first ballot
and the Parker men were doing the
unanimously to vote for Wall first, last
and all the time, as a unit. Wisconsin
has no second choice and will not
have" G...
| This action on the part of Wiscon-
sin has been repeated by the Missouri
delegation, which has decided to stand
! pat for Senator Cockrell. This stiff
fleming of the favorite son situation
Is due to a growing impression that
the contest may in the end take such
a form as to prevent the nomination
of any man now actively in the field.
Should this be the condition Of the
contest by Friday or Saturday, each
of the favorite son candidates would
feel that he had a chance to win.
Tammany's leaning towards McClel-
Ian is another indication of the drift
of sentiment. It is Enthusiastically the
plan Of the anti-Parl1er people to try
to create stampede from him after
the second ballot, unless he should
win on that ballot. .....

The delegation Is quartered at st

From the Cornhill Magazine.
Each days work brought some sad story
or picture OF it's own before us. Four little
girls, whose parents had both been shot as
they fed from their village; three others
mere babies-whom we found sitting round
a great pot in their smoky cabin, their
mother dead from exposure, their father in

deep distress, because her wedding clothes
had been burned, and now no one would
want a portionless bride; the widow of a
village priest, a woman with wild, hunted
eyes. who had not slept since the bodies
of her husband and his brother had been
found on the mountains weeks before, and
who, unable to rest. even In our hospital
passed on to die rev days later; haggard
boys and girls, whose wounds had remained
undreSSed some six or seven months: men
just out of the Yunspeakable prison-"We
could live there through the winter. but had it
been summer we. must have died''-a village
priest, crippled for life and still PROSTATE
from the bastinado he had endured three
times some eight months before; an old
father and mother, who came every week
on hopeless mission, five hours journey,
to ask IL 1 could give them tidings yet Of
their deaf and dumb boy, whom the soldiers
were supposed to have carried away: some
times young girls, for whom one could only
hope that forgetfulness or death might
come; and always tale of widows, old and

absurd that practically the only shop where
1t may be obtained is that kept by the fish

The fishmonger's shop does not always rep

tradesman that can be found to supply IL
Is the fishmonger, and his supply IS usually
limited. IL seems ridiculous that in the

not be sufficient to warrant the establish
ment of n special agency for its supply.
We feel sure that if such a scheme could

HE SANG "GAUDEAMUs."
A Tramp's Passport Into Company Of
College Men in the Country.

College Men In the country.
From the New Y rk Sun.
You know the old Latin college song,
.Gaudeamus Igitur'?" said the recent
graduate We'll, l suppose that it comes
pretty near being a grip and pass word
with university men the world over.
Something that happened this month
made me understand how it stands for
college man wherever you hear it,
II was on my vacation up in New Hamp-
shire Tramping through little noun
tain town, I happened to meet three or
four men of my own fraternity stopped
with them that night, and in the evening
we went to roadhouse on the outskirts
of town for little saengerfest.
"Of course, before we finished we sang
Gaudeamus'-you know it-Iet us re-
joice, therefore. while we are young:
When we came to. the last stanza a voice
joined in from the doorway.
I'VE turned around. There stood an old
dilapidated tramp. He came over to us
without any hesitation and said, in fine
German accent:
hear "Gaudeamus Igitur." Heidelberg,
70. Shake
He was a Heidelberg man, too I sup
pose-a degenerated gentleman, for he
knew college ways and songs and he
showed that he was WELL educated man.
He got all the beer he wanted out of us
that night, and the price of beer besides,
which shows that a college education
sometimes pays.

The British skipper told US that he dis

had cruised about for five days. They
crept upon MIN. and he allowed them t
come within few cables length before he
opened fire. H let item have AL his guns

From Macao to Havana.
This warn reminded an old skipper who
had made many a voyage in the Black
ball pao kets of is experience away back
in the sixties on run from the Por
tuguese port of Macao. China, TO Havana.
He was mate of a clipper ship engaged
in the coole trade. On this particular
run she was taking Shipment of Chinese
coolies TO work Oh tie Cuban sugar pl ln-
tations. Unknown to the cantain These
coolies were all criminals Of the deepest
dye who had been handed over to the
Macao authorities by the Chinese nam

Many of them were pirates, otherS were
convicted murderers ard bandits. TheJ
would all have died the terrible "deaih
of the thousand cuts" if the mandarEs
had not seen a chance to make some money
out of them
When the ship was two days out of
Macao the coolies mutnied. The pirates
among them had Matched a plot by which
they hoped to seize the vessel and use her
to enable them to resume their old trade.
Fortunately the cooie ships were always
prepared for such grim happenings Shotted
guns pointd to the matches beneath which
the living freight was confined. and the
officers were invariably armed to the
teeth.
1--WE were bowling along before n fine
breeze" said the old skipper. Everything
was as quiet and orderly possible. when
suddenly a batch of coolies who had been
allowed on deck for air turned on the
crew. Some of them attacked US with
knives, marlinspikes and any weapons
