California Tor Hearst.

The California delegation maintains
Its attitude that it will not waver in Its
support of Hearst, and confidently be-
lieves that when the name of its candi-
date Is formally submitted by Mr.. Del
mas, his eloquent presentation will
eerve not only to hold all his instructed
followers, but will serve to make 1t
clear that. without their aid, the New
York candidate cannot secure the neces-
sary two-thirds vote.
In the meantime the Parker adher-
ents are calmly confident that no posi-
BILE combination can now defeat him,
and while Offering no opposition to the
casting Of complimentary votes, con-
tent that the avalanche will follow that
action, and that the second ballot will
end the fight. The collapse of the Tam
many opposition is also a matter of ex-
pressed satisfaction by those who have
been leading the fight for Parker in
the New York delegation.
Delaware for Gray.
At an informal conference of the Del
aware delegation early Tuesday it was
decided that the delegation should adj
here to Judge Gray. The conference
was in no way formal and none of the
delegates was willing to make state
ment that the decision reached was bind
ing or final, but it was said that as yet
the delegation saw no reason to abandon
their favorite son.
Suggestions for Second Place.
The New York Parker headquarters
was the gathering place of large ma
jority Of delegation leaders, and Hill
and Murphy, with William F. Sheehan
we're kept busy. At an early hour, how
ever, the triumvirate went into execu-
tive session prior to the meeting of the
New York delegation. Senator Hill
found time to deny that either he or his
lieutenants had as yet made any sugges-
lions as to running mate for Parker
but intimated that it was nearly time te
do so, as "the Parker matter has beer
favorably decided" 1t is understood
at theNew York headquarters that Wall

not allow his name to be used for the

Cases.

Asks More Questions in Anthracite
Cases.
Philadelphia, Sept. S.-Judge Gray,
who was chairman of the anthracite
coal commission, yesterday as umpire
heard argument by the members of
the board of Cancellation on the ques-
ton of the right of the operators to
collect money from employees with
which to pay check weighmen and
docking bosses, unless legal assign
ment of the amount is made by the
employees.
During Mr.. WARMERS presentation
of the operators position Judge Gray
interrupted several times with interro-
cations. The judge desired to know
whether the operators collected from
the miners wages to pay anyone else
connected with the mines. Judge Gray
cited as an example the physicians and
blacksmiths. Mr.. Warmer commended
that the pay of the doctor was collect
ed by the operators on an assignment
made by the miners, and that they
also collected when requested by legal
assignment payment for clergymen.
The miners insisted that their pay was
collected without an assignment and
whether the miners had made use of
the blacksmith or not.
Judge Gray did not announce when
decision will be rendered.

SUBSTITUTES FOR TEA.
Leaves Found in the American Woods
that Have Served Well.

Leaves Found in the American Woods
that Have Served Well.
Many substitutes for tea can be
found In any ordinary woods, says the
Washington Star. The idea is not
new one, for many country folks made
use of the substitutes in the days
when the luxury Of Chinese tea was
not so easily afforded as now. Before
the Revolution, when the colonists
were in turmoil over the stamp
taxes, it was considered unpatriotic
to drink tea that had paid tribute to
the government, and the so-called lib
erty tea was the popular drink.
The four-leaved loose strife was.
no doubt, the herb from which this
beverage was made, possibly with the
aid of various other herbs. This plant
grows foot or two high and may be
recognized by Its simple. upright
stem, upon which the leaves are set
In whorls Of four or five, the yellow
starike flowers being produced on
long, slender stocks from near the
base Of the leaves. 1t Is common to

BIG WHEAT POOL SOLD
Centennial Mill Company Gets 200
900 Bushels in a Lump.

Seattle, Sept. 1.-THE Centennial
Mil! Company has purchased 200, 900
bushels of wheat from pool of Sprague
farmers at price averaging rs cents
a bushel, or total consideration of
$3.50, 900. This is the largest single
pool purchased in the state this year,
and is the largest milling purchase
effected so far ON the coast.
The pooling of interests between the
Sprague growers arose in peculiar
manner. Three farmers first placed
10000 bushels of bluestem to be sold
to the first buyer who would pay 70
cents a bushel. Other growers heard
of the move and added their share, un-
til the total pool finally aggregated
200, 900 bushels.
After much excitement had been
created and many kilograms had been
sent, the Centennial Mill Company, of
this city, finally accepted the entire
lot at the stipulated consideration of
15 cents bushel. Other buyers were
compelled to protect their storage, and
it is estimated that an additional 100, :
900 bushels were bought on that ac-
count.
