HUGHES CANDIDACY.
Senator Agnew Says There Was Lit.
tie Real Support For Him at
Chicago.

Chicago.
New York, June 2S.-State Senator
George B. Agnew, who introduced one
of Governor Hughes anti-gambling
bills in the legislature and one of the
delegates to the Chicago convention,
said that he does not believe Governor
Hughes can be renominated this fall.
He further said he believed that the
governor had lost popularity markedly
in the past two months, and added
that he did not believe he could be
forced upon the Republican party.
Mr.. Agnew indicated that there was
almost universal resentment felt
toward the governor by the delegates
and politicians who went to Chicago.
Another interesting bit Of politi-
cal information supplied by the sena-
tor was that Speaker James w. Wads-
worth, Jr., had informed his friends
at Chicago that he did not desire to
be considered for the gubernatorial
nomination.
In response to query as to the talk
about the denomination Of the gov
ernor among the delegates, Senator
Agnew said:
II do not believe the governor can
be named again. l do not believe, in
addition, that he will be candidate
! believe that in the last two months
he has lost ground markedly. Then
the politicians, without exception, are
very resentful toward him."
"How did they talk about him on the
train?" was asked.
"They talked as If they were done
with him. and with unmistakable bit
terness."
Then there was little real support
for Hughes in the New York delega-
tion?"
"Very little"
"Do you favor the denomination Of
Hughes?"
mo, not at the present time; it's
little too early to be for any one,
but | don't think he could be forced
upon the party. l did feel earlier In
the year that when Hughes had lit.
tie more experience In official life he
would show some Of that red blood
that they talk about. But every time
/ mention the subject every one says
no and | begin to think they are
right.
IL think, officially. he has made an
ideal governor and l think he Is per.
fectly sincere in his belief that he
should not pay any attention to his
friends or follow their advice. But
believe, II he had needed his friends
instead Of having taken advice from
outside he might have been nominated
at Chicago"
What If he should announce his
candidacy for the denomination for
governor"
"Well, ! don't believe he could be
named. Certainly he could not if his
boom were in the hands of the same
people who had charge Of his presi-
Dental BOOM"
"How would the New York county
Republican organization stand on the
matter. If the governor announced his
candidacy"
81 think they would have to be for
him."
"Did you hear any other candidates
for governor suggested" was asked.
"The most heard was that Speak
er James w. Wadsworth had told his
friends he did not want to be consid-
cred for it. | think he could have the
nomination, if he wanted it; that is,
of all the upstate men, he seems to be
the most available, but 1t was the un.
derstanding out at the convention that
Wadsworth did not want it."

Spanish swindIe Is Exposed.

The department Of state has been ad-
vised by the Spanish minister that
the authorities at Madrid have discov-
cred a private office from which the
alleged swindlers operated who sent
TO the United States fraudulent let
ters forming part of what has been
known in this country as the Spanish
estate swindle." The minister states
that the person in charge of the Office
has been arrested, and his books
seized, which contained the addresses
of numerous persons residing in the
Uaited States. 1t is thought possible
that there are still branches Of this
swindling society existing.

An act of revenge on the part of an
italian laborer, because he considered
he had been dismissed without cause
has cost the government Of Baden the
sumHof $4,000. The government
has been constructing railroad tun-
mel through the Black Forest noun
tains, at Heidelberg, working in from
each end to meet in the center. It
was discovered Saturday that the two
halves, which should come together at
the village Of Forbach, miss each 9th
er by 26 feet. The reason is a mis-.
take in the survey, which arose from
the purpossful misplacing of q survey
ing pin. This act was the work of an
Italian who had a grudge against the
government.

Decay Of Stone.

Whoever expects to 6nd stone that
will stand from century to century, de-
riding alike the frigid rains and scorch'
ing solar rays, without need of rspara-
ton, will indeed search for "the phi
losopher's stone. There is scarcely q
substance which after having been ex-
posed to the action of the atmosphere
for q considerable time does not ex-
hibit proofs Of weathering. 1t may
even be observed on the most densely
compacted siliceous rocks. The full.
est extent of this inquiry can only be
to elucidate relative duration and
comparative labor Of appropriation to
useful or ornamental purposes.
By examining the various produc-
tions of nature we find evident proofs
of her industry in all ages. Changes
have been going on from the rsmotest
antiquity to the present time on every
substance that comes within our OBJ.
servation. All the actual combina-
tions Of matter have had former ex-
istencs in some other state. Nothing
exists in nature but what is likely to
change its condition and manner Of
being. No material is so durable as
always to retain its present appear.
ance, for the most solid and compact
bodies have not such degree OF i'm
penstrability and 50 close a union of
the parts which compose them as to be
exempted from ultimate dissolution. -
Even in the great globe which we
inhabit nothing is more evident to &C.
ologists than perpetual series OF al
terations. There can be discovered
no vestige Of 4 beginning, no prospect
Of an end. In some bodies these
changes are not 80 frequent and re-
markabls as in others, though equally
certain at more distant period. The
venerable remains Of Egytian temples,
many Of them executed in the hard
est granite between 5000 and 1000
years since, exhibit large portions Of
e1foliation and gradual decay, there
by following the primitive, immuta-
table and universal order Of causes
and effscts-namsly, that all objects
possess the materials of which they are
composed only for limited time, dur.
ing which some powerful agent effects
their decomposition and sets the ele-
mentary particles at liberty again to
form other equally perfect combina-
tions. Thus by divine and unerring
laws order is restored amid apparent
confusion.
