In one of the lonian islands today there is an oil spring in action which ’ •was mentioned by Herodotus more, than 1 twenty centuries ago. There are old oil wells in the north of Italy ami the same fluid is used in Persia. For many years in the 1 nited States : petroleuum has been known and used for J medicinal purpose'. There are creeks in •’ the east which, in the early part of the cen- j tury were always covered with the oil which ( came friy.,'.: 'he springs or the bank'- 1 his ■ was’ski./.’iii'l oif and sdd “x the imliaii' for medicine at 7.’>.ceiit* a gallon.

Cin< - A<b>, July !)’ —The seSmd -day of the eonv- ntion opened bright and cool, xvitii the continuance of that refriShing breeze which has imide the' work by*day endurable; and lias given di-lemites a chtmee to sleep with comfort under thinkers, during, the-sea-iit. hours alloted to rest. It has been ideal weather since the advance guards arrived last week, and the weather predictions give tire indication of a change. , The crowds down town and about the convention hill showed no diminution, but there was" less of a furor and demonstration than there had been. -The personal elements surrounding candidates had given place to that tense feeling over the issue between the gold ami silver forces as it neared the culminating, point. Moreover, there appeared to bethelack of personal magnetism among candidates, which inspires crowds to genuine enthusiasm. The shouters seemed to rest the showing already made, and are allowing the workers to settle down to serious business. 4 . The crowds were moving toward the,; Coliseum early in the day, as rhe-time ■Oifmeeting was 10 o’clock, and the experience °f Tuesday warned peotile that tinwMUfd pgfience were, required in gaining admission. Martin promised an iinpTovenigjit on Tuesday's arrimgenyift. He. has "been the . / .?„■ W“'Wi ■ . W- feg PERMANENT chaiuma-n WHITE, most abused man in-sCliicago since the wild rush appeared at the opening, and reports were current that he woifld be superseded when the permanent organization wits perfected. There was the prospect also of a youp do main by the. silver forces in throwing open the eon-' ventibn doors to rhe public. This had •been serious/yhjisf-u.'sed at the meeting .of the committeih-oN rules,’ when it was pointed out that huiTrtTi-ds'Aif seats in 'the regr of the main floor and the galleries were unoccupied Tuesday, although the silver leaders had striven vainly to secure a quota of tickets com- ' mensurate with the eoux-smtiun. The day proihises to), be one to bring, the crisis on tlie ’floor Iff the conventiifn which all have, so long anticipated. of the£<ents of Tuesday night, antFextem*fnjt far into the early' hours-/es-’tmlay marked the iiear approach of the culinmaTing points. The order of busi- : neSS adopted by the rules committee was. such that after the induction of the permanent presiding officer Semi tor Stephen M. W. White of- California, the first business would be the report of the credentials’ committee, embracing .the bitter contest of Michigan; then ’the report of't he platform, next the speeches placing (-amiidates in- uoniTnation and finally tlie balloting.

The issue on the two reports involved intense personal feeling in ■V ’ ,

which charges were made that federal nijices had been bartered in order to .KUifrol the Michigan state convention. | There was every indication that this i personal element would be aired on tlie TlTirof the convent ion, ami that the I question of federal influence wmld be brought in for that severe criticism which has thus’.far proceeded behind closely, guarded forces. If such was the ieflling over this contest--, il promised to take much time amt possibly to crowd other, business later into the day. It was also regarded by many as furnishi lug the opportunity to the gold limn to l ave the convention on the grounds t tat the silver forces were tiding over them rough shod. Chllb<l to Order. At exactly 10:50 Senator Daniel rapped for order. The minions of the ser-geant-at-arms hiwJ some difficulty in clearing the aisles. When all were seated and order was obtained it was found that the spaces reserved for the New York, Massachusetts, Maine, Maryland and New Jersey delegations were practically vacant. The threat of a bolt came home with a realizing sense, but it was explained that these delegations were still in conference, discussing the situation. Rev. Francis Edward (Jreen, an Episcopal minister of Cedar Rapids, I'a.;'who lias the distinction of having prayed fm - peace and harmony at two previous Democratic conventions, was introfriieed anddelivered the invocation. The minister's voice was strong, but ot ■ pleasing timber, ami the vast audience stood ami listened attentively to his plea for grace. The reading clerk of- this convention is ill appearane*' a fae-siinile of the late. “Bill Nye,” and his voice has apparently been trained in calling from mountain b'jy to pnountain tojx It overpowered the bustle of two or three -thousand people elbowing their way down the aisles, whoiT he made the routine announeeafter the|>iayer. S'-nator Daniel v, as iN'-onnnaiidiiig. ligu'-e as he stood by the flag- draped desk annonjteiiig that the-first,business of the day would be the repoi-rs of A hitch in the. machinery appeared at I once, tor th*'coininittee on credentials, which .ilXvavs reports first, was not reauy v -th its reeomnieirdations. In the meantime, whilp the convention was waiting, a diversion was furnished by the band which was brought to Chicago by tlie Bland marching club. The convention band was-.pouniling away in the gallery over the platform when a couuter blare was heard in the far western end of the hall to the right of the delegates, and the Bland band came into sight filing up the long aisle to the topmost row of seats playing the pyrotechnic, strains of “Dixie," which never fails to affect a Democratic convention like a match dropped into a jxiwder barrel. It produced tlm customary explosion of enthusiasm, t.lm Missouri delegates with many of their supporters climbing into their chairs to shout. “Maryland, My Maryland,!’ inspired another demonstration. '*■ Governor Hog<* Speaks. Then Chairman Daniel put a motion fhjt| the col vention take a 5-minute recess and be addressed by Governor Hogg .of .Texas. The motion waW-arried. The former Lone Star governor, who is bestknown to the. .woi'hl at large through his tight against the railroad etn-pora-tionsin his state, is easily the biggest man in theciwtvenbiou. His weight is not less than ;>fln poundg :iml lie stands some inches above six feet. He has lost the beafrd which he-wore last siun-‘mi-i-uui-itig in.' mva'ioHj oi \iaii stie“t to lure northern capital southward, and .faced Um friimdly audience with a round.'smooth face. Hi- proceeded with a voii-elike the base of a church organ to hurl tlimnlerbolts against gold and Republicanism. He began by congratuiating the convention on the proud opportunity before it. Tim faeries of Democrats, nob bolters, he declared, should preV4i.il in accordance wit h the time honored Democratic doctrine of majority ru’m. He spoke of the preservation of tin- liberties of the,people from’ the yoke of depublican rule. The party, lie said, had made a mistake four years ago which would not be repeated. If the Republican party returned to power - .it foreboded a nation of minions and millionaires. lie iteiiounced the growing tendency toward the ce.i,itralizarion of government, which, he said, must eventually mean the oppression of tlie people by the bayonet and tiie destruction of their liberties.. He drifted thpuce. into a discussion. of tin' tariff question. His purpose was simply tn hold tlie attention of she , convention until the credentials .committee vfiis’prepared to Tep-ort. ■ Distinguished guests on the = plat form Were -Di >ji Al.

The Texas ex-governor’s attack on the Republican platform niet'with a hearty syirtpatjiy .ffoni the audience. * JSoine of the gold men, however, showed openly that they were opposed to. some of-his e.xti'onfe expressions. When ex-Gover-nor Hogg had -finished Senator White . assuiyed the gavel temporarily, while the crowd cried for Hill, Bryan, Blackburn, Altgeld and others. Delegate MonCy of Mississipjii moved that Senator Blackburn be requested to address 'the convention,.and th- crowd yelled itself hoarse hi approval.

Delegate Hone of Illinois called for Governor Altgeld. Senator AVlnteheat a sharp penetrattiug click with his gavel until the copventibn consented ...to subside, atrifle ami the-n he announced that GoveruorAitgeld of Illinois was' called for. Governor Altgeld has many warm friends in Illfttois and many enemies equally warm and they sprung to the chance to voice their sentiments. The.

Curiosity was rife to see tlm T nuin whom the gelegutes h.illjieard so much about and few hud ever seen, so ninny mounteil (heir chqirs and faced toward Illinois.

Few could | see him. and there xx as much crowding and eonfii'ion unlii he mounted Ins chair under the Illinois standard, and theii the cheer was redoubled. His opponents also. when they spied him from the galleries, were inflamed to wrath, and they showered upon him a sputter of hisses. Finally ex-Governor Overmeyer of Kansas Was brought to the platform and appeared the appetite of the crowd for several minutes as he pleaded for the “dollar of the daddies." For another five minutes the band held them in check with stirring music. Theythe cries for Altgeld were renewed, and at last, with evident reluctance, tin' Illinoisan surged forward to the stage. Great curiosity existed among thousands who had never lu ard ami some who had never before seen this great power in this part of the country. Some of the delegates crowded to the foot of the stage, not because his voice was weak, as his tones i-eac’ned out to the furthermost limit.' ol’ the hall, but to get. a clear view of tin* man. With great deliberation lie opened with the statement that b“ Iqid not eqnii' here to make a spe-x'h, but .to assist in the nomination of the m-xt pre-id*- ! i't of th • United States ami the formniation of a declaration of priiicqtl''- t|iat xymtld again ctief help to the party iff the p-’*•■' | pie.

Thin he paused, and. flinging his arms out before him. asked: “Will you lef them continue it?” “No! No! Never!" came in thundering chorus from 10,1)00 throats. As he finished and deseended from the platform he was accorded another great demonstration. The Illinois delegation mounted their chairs and frantically 'Waved their banners. Delegates from other delegations crowded the aisles to wring his hand, while the terraced galleries veiled and -shouted. •* After tlie interlude by the band, Nev England had her inning, when Georgx' Fred Williams, the stalwart, fashionably attired, blonde imtstached. scholarly looking young ex-congressman from Massachusetts, whose conversion to free silver was recently announced, was called, to the. platform amid great enthusiasm. He spoke in a new vein.
