The Unanimous choice of the Ohio Be-
pnbueon - Convention.
., COLUMBUS, June 9.—-The' Republican
state convention was called to order yes
terday by General Grosven or. A hearty
greeting was accorded to H. M. mushefiiy
when he was introduced as permanent
chairman. N ominations followed the read-
ing of the platform. Governor McKin-
ley’s name was presented by. Colonel Bob
Nevins, of Dayton, and seconded bvaena-
tor J. W. Nichols, of Belmont. There
were no other nominations, and the gov-
ernor was declared the nominee.
Governor McKinley. made a speech ac-
cepting the nominatio'n. In it he attacked
the Democratic party-as responsible for
the existing financial situatiOn. '
The fOllowing Were renominated by ac-
clamation: Lieutenant" governor, A. L.
Harris; treasurer, W. 7T. Cope; attorney
general, John K. Richards; judge supreme
court, Joseph P. Bradbury, member board
public works, Frank J. McCullnch; food
and dairy commissioner, Mr. McNeal.
The resolutions presented endorse and
reamrm the platform of the Minneapoli'~
convention, and endorse and commend
the administration of Benjamin Harrison
as eminently patriotic, wise, pure and just.
State issues are dealt in at length, Gover-
nor McKinley, it beingldeclared, having
brought to the discharge of his duties as
governor ripe experience, great learning,
ability and statesmanship. The legisla-
tion of the state in the interests of laboring
classes and other is referred to at length.
The tariff plank is: “We favor the
policy of full and adequate protection to
American labor and industries. The best
exemplificat-ion of protection and reci-
procity that has found expression in the
statutes is the McKinley law.
“We cordially declare our adhesion to
the doctrines of that great measure and
favor such amendments thereto as time
and experience may show to be advisable.”
The attempt to place wool on the free
list is condemned. Additional legislation
against the influx of undesirable foreign-
ers is favored.
THE TINflDUST RY.
Special Agent Ayer’s Report to be Care-
fully Scrutlnized.
WASHINGTON, June 9.—The report of
Special Agent Ayer on the progress (if the
domestic tin manufacturing industry may
never be issued as a public document. It is
in the hands of Secretary Carlisle, who is
first having a preliminary comparison
made to see whether this report as a whole
conflicts with the fragmentary reports put
out at various stages of the agent’s work.
If it shall be found that these all hold to-
gether the next step will probably be to
revise the statistics independently and
verify them from their original sources.
The report makes a better showing for
the industry than the general surface in-
dications seem to warrant, and it is feared
that Mr. Ayer’s sanguine temperament
may have biased his judgment. If this is
found to be the case and the report is,
therefore, deemed untrustworthy, it will
undoubtedly be discarded and the work
done anew by an expert chosen by the
present secretary.
An Archbishop Mobbed.
VIENNA, June 9.—Archbishop Sembrato-
wicz was mobbed by forty Polish studen‘s
in Lemberg yesterday in view of his visit ,
to the pope, which the Poles regard :
treason to the Greek Catholic church, of
which he is a prelate.~ They threw rotten
eggs at the archbishop and his coachman,
stopped the horses and beat the arch-
biéhop with their canes, while others
tossed dirt, eggs and vegetables at him.
When rescued by police the archbishop’s
face was bleeding and he was covered with
filth. Nineteen arrests were made after a
lively fight.
Arbitrator Cleveland.
WASHINGTON, June 9.—Yesterday after-
noon Secretary Gresham presented to the
president Don Antonio Lazo Arriaga, the
new minister. from Guatemala, who was
formally received by him with the usual
exchange of expressions of esteem and
good will. Baron de Rio-Branco, head of
the special mission from Brazil to present
to the president of the United States the
case of the controverted boundary between
that country and the Argentine Republic,
was also presented. The president was se-
lected as arbitrator by both governments.

TEN THOUSAND CHILDREN PARADE.
The Descendant of the Great Navigator
Presented with the Freedom of the City
in 'the Shape of a Golden Key—Bis
Brother Falls in 3 Fit. '
COLUMBUS, 0., June 9.—-The visit of the
Duke of Veragua to this city has been,
with the exception of the sudden attack
suflered by his brother, a great success.
. The ducal party was met at the depot by
the reception committee and escorted to
carriages. Then, led by mounted‘military,
they were escorted. to several residences
where they were to be entertained, and
thence to the reviewing stand.
The crowd was enormous, surprising
everybody’s expectation. It covered the
State house yard and filled the streets to
the middle, extending several squares east
on Broad. Twenty-five thousand persons
at least were assembled. Such a mass of
humanity was probably never, collected
together in this city. and all in honor of a
little lord of Spain. The decorations of
the city were not extensive, but some of
the buildings were covered with Spanish
and American colors in fine taste. The
ducal party, citizens’ committee, city
council, board of education and a few in-
vited guests were on the reviewing stand.
Mayor Karb, in a brief but expressive
speech, presented the duke a token of free-
dom of the citylin the shape of a golden
key. The inscription put on it as follows:
“Chistopher Columbus, 1492—Columbus,
Ohio, 1893.” The case in which it rests is
lined with the Spanish and United States
flags.
Governor McKinley gave the duke a
cordial welcome to the state. The duke
responded in a brief speech. which was
inaudible to all buta few on account of
the crowd.
The parade of the pupils from public
and parochial schools was a unique as well
as an imposing sight. Fully 0,000 chil-
dren were in line. They mare ed to the
inspiring music of a score of bands and
drum corps. .
The youngsters carried American and
Spanish flags and flowers, the latter being
cast in deluge upon the reviewing stand.
The enthusiasm of the scholars was un-
bounded, and they marched with a. proud
tread.
As the ducal party was leaving the re-
viewing stand the duke’s brother, the
Marquis of Barboles, was taken with some-
thing like an epileptic fit, and for a time
was in a serious state. So severe were his
convulsions that it required sev eral men
to hold him. Physicians were at hand, and
after half an hour the stricken marquis
was restored to consciousness and is now
resting quietly. He has had two similar
attacks before.

Convent Destroyed by Fire.
MONTREAL, June 9,—The .magnificent
Ville Marie convent at Notre Dame de
Grace, two miles north of Montreal, the
largest establishment of the kind inAmer-
ica, was almost totally destroyed by fire
yesterday afternoon. The totaldoss will
amount to more than a- million dollars,
with an‘ insurance of $100,000. The500 pu.
pile and novices were rescued with great
difliculty. Chief Benoit and Foreman
Dufoind were seriously injured by falling
bricks. The latter may die.
To Reorganize Pension Examining Boards
WASHINGTON, June 9.-—It is the inten-
tion of Secretary Smith to reorganize the
board of pension examining surgeons
throughout the country.‘ Officials of the
department state that examinations have
revealed an incompetency and gross care-
lessness in the work of some of these
boards, and in some instances the evidence
indicates that improper influences have
been successfully applied to secure reports
in pension claims favorable to the appli
cants. »

menced. Opinions-differ as to the chances

Messrs. Woods and Jenkins Favored the
Injunction, but Judge Crosscup Takes
a Contrary View—But the Anti-Closers
Have Not Yet Given Up the Fight.
CHICAGO, June 9.—The federal court, by
a majority of two to one, decided yester—
day to grant the injunction prayed for by
the district attorney to restrain the local
directory from openim the World’s fair
gates on. Sunday. Judges Woods and
Jenkins favored the closing of the gates.
while Judge Crosscup held the contrary
opinion. The court room was rowded to
tsufiocatlon with closers and ntl-closers
when the three judges took their seats on
the bench. Judge Woods announced that
each member of the court would deliver
his own opinion.
In the course of his address Judge Woods
said: “There is a claim that the local cor-
poration tendered the park to the United
States, but the defence prefers a formal
denial. It is a question to be decided by
the act of congress inaugurating the en-
terprise. The act shows that the legisla-
ture and the park commissioners tendered
the park to the government, and it is clear
that in so far as it lay in their power the
legislature and the park commissioners
did make that trade. A constitutional
amendment was passed enabling Chicago
to raise $5,000,000 for the fair. The adop-
tion of that amendment corroborates this
position that the government is in posses-
sion at Jackson ‘ park. These grounds
have been lawfully delivered to the use of
the government. There is nothing in the
act of congress to override the laws of any
state. The general proposition is that
when the government takes possession of
grounds within a state the laws of that
state continue to have force only through
the United States authorities. March 3,
1893, the government voted $2,500,000 to
the fair on the condition that if the grant
was accepted the fair was to be closed on
the first day of the week. * There was an
acceptance, and the rule adopted, and, in
my opinion, it has never been repealed.”
J udgc Jenkins, after reviewing the his-
tory of the Colombian exposition and the
relations existing between the United
States government and the exposition cor-
poration and the relation Of both to the
enterprise, said: “It was found that the
scheme had outgrown the financial ability
of the local corporation. Congress was
asked for aid and passed a law giving $2,-
500,000 to the exposition. Section 4 of that
act declares that this appropriation is made
on condition that the fair shall be closed
on Sunday, and that if the gift should be
accepted the acceptance should be consid-
ered as an agreement to the conditions. it
is said that this legislation by congress
was without the power of congress in
that it seeks to establish areligious test.
I cannot concur in that suggestion. The
day of rest is needful for humanity to re-
cover from the strain of six days’ labor.
This is founded on humanity and is justi-
fied outside of any question of creed or re-
ligion. The laws of the state provide for
rest and for non-interruption of religious
services. It is not compulsory on any one
to go to church, but it provides peace for
those'who wish to go to church.” _
Judge Crosscup's dissenting opinion is
to the effect that the government violated
its contract when it withheld 1,140,000
of 5,000,000 coins that it had agreed to
give the corporation. Who knows that
the corporation would have accepted the
gift and surrendered its views on Sunday
closing if it had known that part of the
appropriation was to be withheld? This
law was passed by congress after the ac-
ceptance of the former conditional gift. It
was a new condition imposed without the
consent of the other party. The govern-
ment has broken faith with the corpora-
tion, and no court of equity could insist on
the corporation observing the hard condi-
tions imposed by the government. When
congress withheld the 1,140,000 souvenir
coins the situation changed. The previous
act was as if it was not.
“men Judge Crosscup concluded his
opinion favoring Sunday opening Attor-
ney Edwin Walker, counsel for the direc—
tory, gave noise that an appeal would be
taken and a supersedeas asked for. The
motion is being heard’today. If the super-
sedeas be granted the fair .will remain
open on Sundays until the court of appeals
finally passes on the case.
‘IHE FAIR’S BIGGEST DAY.
Nearly Two Hundred Thousand Greet
Spain’s Royal Visitor.
CHICAGO, June 9.—“Princess Day” at.
the Columbian exposition will always be
remembered as a great international even t.
The reception of the infants. of Spain and
Prince Antonio was cordial, decorous and
deferential, but not demonstrative. There
was a great multitude of people within
the gates, and only. complimentary ex-
pressions were heard regarding the appear-
~ ance of the Princess Eula'lia. When the
fireworks and illuminations at night had
ceased more people had passed through
the turnstiles than on any day since the
fair opened, the paid admissions being
175,213. . '
Westerners in general and N ebraskans
in particular crowded the Nebraska state
building to suffocation in honor of its ded-
ication. The official party consisted of
Governor Crounse and staff, Hon. Joseph
Garneau. the World’s fair commissioner
from Nebraska, and members of the legis-
lature with their ladies. Hon. Joseph
Gameau was the first speaker. Governor
Crounse then accepted the building on be-
half of the people and Nebraska, and for-
mally declared it dedicated to their com-
fort. After the governor’s speech Secretary
of Agriculture Morton made a short ad‘
dress.
The Norwegian exhibit in the Manufac-
tures building was opened today to the
public without ofiicial‘ ceremony. The
display consists of the exhibits of mer-
chants in the principal cities of Norway
and is a very creditable collection.

ANTIOTPATION.
One time we stood upon the water‘s edge
' That flowed far out into its parent sea,
And there while summer blushed on field
and hedge
We vowed to love throughout eternity.
And thou. fond heart, hast kept that vow
full well
Through every change that protean fortune
brought, .
But I am sunken in the waves that swoll
O‘er Scylla’s hidden rocks—apd am forgot.
What stern mischance hath snapped the
golden thread
That bound thy heart in unison with mine?
Unless her soul be Niobe’s instead,
Whose tears may flow as feelingly as thine?
From whom may pardon come if not from
ee
And yet I dare not ask so great a boon.
Whose lige is wrecked like thine? And who
is s e
Hath warranty to sing so sad a tune?
Yet cease .those mournful sighs, as deep per-
. chance .
As ever Dido for Eneas heaved;
The future lies beyond; the recompense
Of time' is most for her who _most hath
grieved. .
One hopeI have that absence cannot take.
Onelon‘ging' that the world can never steal;
When. life is done, in other spheres to wake,
And‘at thy feet a worshiper to kneel.

London’s Theater Curtains.
g .ne‘of the finest curtains in this conn-
try'is at the Lyceum theater. On it all
that art can do has been lavished. Made
of a rich, beautiful plush' of dragon’s
blood hue, it hangs from the proscenium
arch in artiSticrfolds. The, curtain"was
presented to Mr. Irving by the Baroness
Burdett . Coutts, its cost being 1,000
guineas. One thousand 'yards of plush
were used in its manufacture, and it
achieved the fame of once being parodied
in a Gaiety burlesque.
Mr. Wyndham’s curtain at the Crite-
rion is a creation of Maple 8: Co. and
cost about £120. At the Gaiety the pres-
ent not drop is the work of Mr. George
Brake. The artist’s conceptiOn takes
the form of a great - white satin cloth,
with a solitary figure opening two‘ cur-
tains. The Savoy curtain is noted )both
for its beauty andthe artistic manner in
which it rises and reveals the stage. The
act dropat the Adelphi, the home of
“creepy” melodrama, is a curtain which
has marked the resting places of count-
less pieces ‘of the transpontine type. It

Superstition That Is Ancient.
. In many parts of Great Britain the
superstition Still survives that it is folly
or madness to save a drowning man, as
he will sooner or later do an injury to

it exist among the Sioux and other In:
dians, who‘ seem. to have inherited it
from aboriginal sources. The belief is
most prevalent in 'Cornwall and various

He Caught the Pickpocket Who Gavo‘fiim
the cams. .
He was just in fromthe wilds of the
“Umteenth” ward, and the “p ” his
alderman had with. the chief had secured
his promotion to the dignity of a. central
“fly 00p.” .
The importance of his new position
weighed heavily upOn him, and he strug-
gled bravely to uphold it. The superior-
ity of a fly cop over an ordinary patrol-
man traveling his beat burned deeply in
his brain, and he looked haughtily at
those erstwhile acquaintances who still
wear the blue coats and brass buttons.
One day the new man, with the unfor-
tunate who had been told ofi as hispart-
nor, were sent down to watch for’pick—
pockets on the State street cablefdine.
There was little success until suddgnly
the newly made fly cop grasped hiszpart-
ner’s arm. “There’s a fellow I’ve‘liad
my eye on for some time,” he said propd—
ly, “and now I’m going to get him. There
he is, the tall guy 'with the“ soft hat?
The experienced—man looked andhiniled
oddly. “Just as well now as any ppm
time,” he murmured softly to himself.
Then he said, “I don’t suppose you. want
any help.” ~’
Fired with visions. of; glory and, the
idea of making a single handed capture,
the new man answered, “NO, siree, I’ll
take him myself.” ‘
Then his partner walked around the
corner whistling in a subdued tone'a-nd
muttering something about ‘ ‘fools having
to take their medicine,” although there
wasn’t a doctor or sick man in sight.
The man from the Umteenth boarded
the car ahd flashed his star on the con-
ductor, who, of course, pulled the bell at
once. Then the ambitious detective
walked up to the tall man and said: “I’ve
got you now. Come along with me.”
The gentleman turned and said: “I
guess you’ve made a mistake, my friend.
You don’t know me.”
“But I do, my boy, and that’s the
trouble. Come along with me. I’ve been
looking out for you for the last two
weeks.”
The people in the car were staring, and
a couple of men began looking for their
pocketbooks. Then the tall man said:
“Well, you’d better take me to the
station.”
“That’s just what I intend to do. I
won’t call the wagon either.”
He looked for his partner, but he was
not arOund. So much the better—he
alone would get the credit for the arrest.
As they walked over toward the city
hall the patrolman on the corners salut-
ed, and the Umteenth man was in the
seventh heaven. His bravery was recog-
nized. As they reached the door of the
central station .the oficers looked up
from their game Of “cinch” and saluted
with,a “How are you, chief?” Then they
looked at the capturer, and as they took
in the situation a roar of laughter burst
forth.
He looked around in amazement. Then
the tall man said: “Now, my man, I’m
much obliged for your company. I hope -
you’ll know me the next time. Here’s
my card.”
It read, “George W. Hubbard, Assist-
ant Superintendent of Police.”
Then the man from the Umteenth
wrote out a. request to be transferred
back to his beat on the corner of West
Forty-eighth and One Hundred and
Fourth streets, and he is there—Chicago
News.

. It Was Soup or Nothing.
Since an unpleasant experience at a
hotel in a little town up in Iowa a short
timeago I have made it a rule to always
take Soup. At this hotel I answered in
the negative when asked by the fair
waitress if I would “have soup.” There
was no one else in the room at the time,
but pretty soon another gentleman came
'in and sat down. He was asked the
usual question, and he responded in,the
'aflirmative' and got his soup The girl
then left the dining room and did knot
return. I thought itstrange she did not '
take my order for dinner, but my wait

waiting ‘for 20 minutes or halfanhour
