WHERE IS MR.. GoRMANp
Has he Gone to the st. Louis Conven-
ton or Not,

The absorbing political question of the
hour here in Washington is:
HAS Senator German gone to st. Louis?'
The Interrogation should properly be fol-
lowed by another:
III he has gone what word did he re-
ceive from the party managers in the west
which caused him to change his mind about
remaining at home throughout the conveu-
ton period?''
The Maryland senator was at his home IN
this city yesterday afternoon Shortly
after o'clock. it is stated, he took a
train for Laurel. The agent there declares
that Mr. German was seen leaving the
train. but whether or not he went back on
board or took later train for the west
no one seems to know. Efforts were MADE
to find Senator German at his Laurel farm
last night, but the only word given In re-
sponse to inquiries was that the senator
expected to spend the night in Washington.
AT the Washington house, it was stated, he
had left for Laurel in the afternoon.
Today further efforts to locate Mr. Cor
nan have been futile. No communication
can be obtained with his Laurel house and
IL Is known that he is not in this city.
These state of things bring the watchers
Of political events back to the two queries
outlined above.
The apparent mystery surrounding the
actions of Senator German NAV or NAV not
be of political significance. At any rate the
cloud must soon be cleared away, for If he
has gone to st. Louis his presence will be
noted from there tonight. His going. if he
has gona, will be followed by much interest
Ing gossip as to why he went.
While be was in this city yesterday, sew
eral attempts were made to interview Mr.
German. He was asked many questions in
regard to the developments at st. Louis,
but declined to answer any of them. Asked
If 1t was possible that he might go to the
convention at the eleventh hour, Mr.. Cor
man again politely, but firmly, declined to
answer.
Il am not talking he said "or gossiping
and-beg to be excused even from answering
that question"
MIR. iolman's tactics during the past few
days have been most puZZling to the poll
ucians and to his friends. There are many
or the latter who cling tenaciously to the
theory that Parker is not sure of the nomi-
nation and that Mr.. Germans name may be
placed before the convention at the proper
momens. They realize that his stock prior
to the convention mas been very low. But
conditions at ST. Louis are so uncertain 1t
is said, that the tide may turn in any di-
rection at any moment.

animate delegates and visitors today and
instead OF the uproarious and tumultuous
assembling of four years ago amid shouting
and ffenZied enthusiasm, these delegates
came together like board of directors
meeting.
If anything the opening was even moro
lacking In demonstration than the recent
republican convention at Chicago
Right on top of Bryan's rebellious and
obstinate announcement came the state
ment that the Michigan delegation, which
mad been hanging in the wind, decided by
vote or IL to 10 to go to Parker under the

ternately make threats and indulge in
weeping the Parker ranks are strengthened

THE RETIRED LIST.
Attorney General to Decide as to Civil
War Veterans Status.

Acting Secretary Oliver of the War De-
partment today submitted to the Attorney
General, a brief prepared by Judge Advo-
cate General Davis on the disputed ques-
ton, whether civil war veterans on the re-
tired list, promoted by the act of April 23,
1904, were promoted to fill vacancies in the
advanced grades on the retired list created
by that act. If the Attorney General de-
cides that such is the case, as is contended
by officials of the War Department the
controller of the treasury will undoubtedly
reverse his original decision that those Off
GERS are not entitled to the pay of the ad-
yanced grade to which they have been pro-
NOTED until their recess nominations have
been confirmed by the Senate.

Gen. Gillespie, acting chief of staff, has
been informed that the army retiring board
appointed to examine Maj Theodore A

island in the Niagara river a few miles
below Buffalo, to which Mat Bingham was
removed a few days ago from the hospital

several months ago. The board reported
that Col Bingham was incapacitated for
active duty by reason of his injuries, which
involved the amputation of one of his legs
above the knee, and recommended that he
be transferred to the retired list.
By direction of the President Maj. Bing-
ham will be appointed a brigadier general

LINE OF CASTE IN ENGLAND
The American in That Country Soon Becomes Conscious of Its
 Restrictions.

What is it, at bottom, that makes the English atmosphere so difficult for an American to breathe in freely? It is, I believe, that he teels himself in a country where the dignity of life is lower than in his own; country where a man born in ordinary cir cumstances expects, and is expected, to die in ordinary circumstances; where the scope of his efforts is traced be- forehand by the accident of position; where he is handicapped in all cases and crushed i'll most by the superin- cumbent weight of caste, convention, "good form" and the deadening artifi- cialities of an old society, comments a writer in the North American Review. That unconquerable buoyancy which fnfects the American air like a sting and challenge, and braces every Amerl- can with the inspiration that he has a chance in life; that there are open Op- portunities, unreserved possibilities. no battering at locked doors, no tioun- dering in blank alleys; that here, m short, it is the man himself who makes his career-is something which the English have so utterly lost as to be incapable of realizing it.

A Wondrous and Awe-Inspiring Product of Nature, Found
 Only in California.

California's attraction are mostly of it's own kind, peculiar to it's kind and of nonesis this so emphatically true as that unique product, the big trees. The age of these colossi is from 1,5O0 to 2,OOO years.
 The Mariposa grove, which can be visited while en route to the Yosemite, contains some of the largest. In the Calaveras grove are from ninety to one hundred of huge size. Near Santa Cruz is a beautiful grove of redwood big trees, which will we'll employ a days pleasant visit. These can be best reached by the Union Pacific, whose fast trains from Missouri river reach Cali fornia 16 hours ahead of all com petitors.
