New York, June 8.-Jusdce Samuel
seabury Of the city court, who Is
chairman Of the committee having the
boiling anti-Parker convention move
ment in charge, said to-day:
II do not want any one to suppose
] have any personal objection to
Parker. On the contrary, I believe
him to be an able and honest man.
But we believe he should not be nom
mated unless he makes a public an
nouncement Of his views on the great
political issues of the day, such as the
tariff, the trusts and the practice OF
issuing blanket injunctions in labor
disputes. So long as Parker remains
silent his views can only be inferred
from the views and characters of his
political sponsors, like Hill, Belmont
McCarren and Sheehan, and from the
Albany platform, which means
nothing. a-t ~
Our next meeting will adopt reso.
lutions setting forth what we believe
the democratic platform ought tt

One London paper deyotes con-

cablcd to a London firm that he
would call upon them on the next
Wednesday at 1880 a. m. Almost
OH the minute he arrived and talked
to the senior partner for twenty
minutes at rate that almost gave
the Londoner heart failure. Next
day he came again and in thirty
minutes had closed deal that
meant a good many thousand
pounds year to the London firm
and on Saturday was on the ocean
again bound for New York, leaving
the partners in a daze, which was
dispelled only by contemplating the

how he finished his business SO soon,

Gods Of the Japanese.

Those who have described the
Japanese as goddess people have
been long way from the truth.
They have, on the contrary, about
100000 gods, each of whom has
his own particular cult. AS it would
be an obvious impossibility for one
person to pray to each Of them in
dividually, the nation has surmount-
ed the difficulty in an ingenious
manner. In certain streets are to
be found automatic machines. You
put in your piece Of money-very
much smaller than a penny-and
the machine does the rest-that is
to say, it presents you with piece
of paper on which prayer is print
ed. And the most satisfactory part
of it is that you gre then considered
to have said the prayer, however
long it be, and can thus work off
quite numbee of gods at moder-
ate cost of time and money.

MARINE CABLES.
Odd Ideas That at First Prevailed
About Laying Them.


When it was first proposed to lay
marine cable, many intelligent
people said it would not sink to the
bottom, but would remain suspend
ed at certain depth because Of the
density of the water due to pressure
from above. OF course the pressure
increases with the depth on all sides
OF the cable in its descent through
the sea, but as practically every
thing on earth is more comprehensi-
BILE than water it is obvious that the
iron wire, yarn, gntta percha and
copper conductor forming the cable
must be more and more compressed
as they descend. Thus the cable
constantly increases in density, or
specific gravity, in going down,
while the equal bulk Of water sur
rounding it continues to have, prac-
tica'ly speaking, very nearly the
same specific gravity as at the sur
face. Without this valuable prop
erty Of water the hydraulic press
would not exist.
Some Of the most distinguished
naval men have made the blunder
that is mentioned above. Even at
a comparatively recent period Cap
tain Marryat Of the British navy,
the celebrated nautical author,
wrote i'll one of his novels: "What
mine Of wealth must lie buried in
the sands! What riches lie entan-
gled among its rocks or remain sus-
pended III the unfathomablc gulf
where the compressed fluid is equal
in gravity to that which it encir-
,clesw
When the first Atlantic cable was
about to be laid, to obviate this sup
posed difficulty it was gravely pro-
posed to festoon the cable across at
given maximum depth between
buoys and floats, or even para
chutes, at which ships should call,
hook on and send messages to the
shore. Others proposed to apply
gummed cotton to the cable, set il
afloat and leave the gum to dissolve
and "let the cable down quietly"
