CHICAGO, JULY 7,1896

Place and Date of the National Democratic Convention.

DECIDED BY THE COMMITTEE.

Chicago, St. Louis, Cincinnati and New York Were Applicants, anl It Took -^Twenty-Nine Ballots Before tlie Decision

Was Made—Tl\« Last Ballot Was Chicago 26, St. Lowis 24, Cincinnati 1. WASHINGTON, Jan. 17.—The Democratic national convention will be held at the city of Chicago on July 7. Thai was the decision reached last night by the national Democratic committee after an interesting and at one time exciting session which continued until 11 o'clock at night. There was considerable difference of opinion as to the time for holding the convention, one proposition, advanced by Allen W. Thurman of Ohio vho held the proxy of the New Mexico, member being to hold it June 7, two weeks before the Republican convention, and the other by Hugh Wallace of Washi ngton state to lurid it July 7. The committee decided upon the latter date by a vote of 32 to IS.

The main interest of course, centered in choice of the convention city. For this honor there were four applicants, •Chicago, St. Louis, Cincinnati and New

York. Thirty minutes were allowed each city in which to present its claims. The speeches made by distinguished citizens in each instance were of high ^order of excellence, and at times aroused the greatest enthusiasm. The balloting began about 6 o'clock in the evening, and from the first a long and bitter struggle was indicated. The first ba"ot resulted: Chicago, fi Cincimiat, Ik St. Louis, 19 New York, 14.

There was practically no change, except a slight fluctuation of a vote or two, until the 1 Oth ballot, when Chicago began gradually to increase her vote at the expense of New York. At the 20th ballot New York's strength was rapidly disintegrating her vote, going almost bodily to Chicago. But St. Louis, which" had tenaciously clung to her 19 votes, also captured several of Cincinnati's votes, and on the ballot before the last led Chicago by one vote. On the last 1 .allot, the 29th, which was taken shortly before 11 o'clock, the four remaining votes of New ork were thrown to Chicago and she obtained the necessary plurality. The last, ballot resulted: Chicago, 26 St. Louis, 24 Cincinnati, 1. Senator Brice voted for Cincinnati to the last.

An examination of the vote by states .shows that St. Louis had practically the solid support of the free silver votes in the committee.

The national committee adjourned without electing the sergeant-at-arms and other officers who probably will not'be chosen for some weeks.

Chairman Harrity expects to issue the csual call for the holding of the convention in a few days. It will be in form, very much like the last one with the change in dates made necessary by the difference in the time of holding the convention. The call will be issued from Philadelphia. ..There was no attempt on the part of the X3hiQagoans to celebrate their victory In a demV?nstrative way, but on the other hand they took their success very quietly. The delegates say the preparations for the convention will be arranged by the local committee already appointed for that purpose and the sub-execu-tive committee of the national committee. The location of the hall in which to hold the convention will be let to the subcommittee.

MAKING PREPARATIONS.

Chicago Will Amply I'rovide For the Visitors. CHICAGO, Jan. 17.—Among the buildings in Chicago capable of housing the convention are Tattersalls at Sixteenth .and Clark streets and the Coliseum, now in process of construction on the .ground occupied by Buffalo Bill's wild west show during the world's fair. The latter building, when completed, will be splendidly adapted to the purpose, and will without a doubt be used for the convention. It occupies half the square between Sixty-second and Sixty-third streets and Hope and Stony Island avmaes. The building is twice the size of Madinson Square Garden, and when completed will have a seating capacity .of 20,000 people.

It is about seven miles from the city hall, but the transit facilities are so great- .that there will be no inconvenience on that account. The Illinois Central, the Alley "L" road and several •/cable and electric lines ruu within 50 feet of the main entrance. The trains *0f the Illinois Central can easily make Sfae trip from the downtown depot in»de of 15 minutes. This road is capable ®f carrying 10,000 people an hour, in addition to its regular suburban busitaern. The surface and elevated roads IBBOYBANDLE 7,000 an hour without diffiwriter.

ISJRFC-TS FOREIGN QUESTIONS. 'Several of Them Discussed in the Se: kt House Proceedings. "WASHINGTON, Jan. 17.—The consideration of the silver bond bill proceeded in the senate yesterday with Mr. Peffei continuing his speech begun the day before. Interest in the discussion has begun to lag, as was evident by the scant attendance on the floor and in the galleries. As yet no suggestion has been made as to bringing the measure to a vote.

Foreign questions received considerable attention during the day. Mr. Hale spoke for an hour in favor of a Pacific cable connecting the United States and Hawaii. The senator expressed the opinion that the annexation of the Hawaiian Islands to the United States was certain to be accomplished at an early day. The Cuban question was briefly discussed in connection with Mr. Call's resolution calling on the state department for information on the status of the uprising.

The Monroe doctrine also received attention in a resolution by Mr. Sewell of New Jersey, declaring the limitations of the doctrine and stating that President Cleveland's attitude was an extension of the doctrine beyond its original •scope.

A resolution was adopted requesting the state department for further information on Turkish-Armenian affairs. At 4:45 the senate adjourned till Monday.

House Proceedings.

WASHINGTON, Jan, 17.—The general discussion of the pension bill in the house closed yestei day and hereafter it will be taken up by paragraphs. Mr. Grow attempted to speak on a matter of privilege. The subject which he wished to discuss was a passage contained in a pamphlet published by the New York chamber of commerce which, he said, was :iv attack upon the good faith of the boase. The speaker ruled that this was ifiot a question of privilege, and Mr. Grow did not proceed.

ff. HALED ILLUMINATING GAS.

One J^ife J,ost Six Persons Narrowly JKscape Death. BOSTON, Jan. 17.—One life was lost and six persons narrowly escaped death from inhaling illuminating gas here .yesterday. Owing to a leak in the gas main in Canton street, the gas found its way into two houses on opposite sides •of the street. In S9 Alexander Mc^Swain, his wife and 18-month-old ••daughter lived, and at 7 o'clock Mo-

Swain awoke and found the room filled with gas. He was barely able to reach the window, which he threw open. He found his wife and baby unconscious, but the baby died shortly afterward.

In the house opposite William L. Cochran., his wife and son and a boarder, named Charles Ould, were found unconscious and medical assistance was called. All are now out of danger, although they are all ill from the effects of the gas.

Spanish Soldiers Again Meet the Insurgents.

TWO HOURS' HEAVY FIRING.

The Insurgents Had Seven Killed While the Spaniards Did Not Lose a Man—Still the Insurgents Are Going Almost Where

Tliey Please, Destroying Everything as They Go. HAVANA, Jan. 17.—With the exception of a lively skirmish between the forces under General Luque and the insurgents in Pinar del Rio, there is no notable engagements reported. Maximo Gomez is said to have camped at a point near Guauajay between Guayabal and San Dinias, and seems to have evaded his pursuers, as nothing is said of any further losses inflicted upon him.

The insurgents in Pinar del Rio, who were reported to have their safety seriously compromised by the movements and fresh stations of the troops, are ranering far and wide over that provice, apparently at will. There is not much damage, reported along their route, except to railroad property, as the people of the Yuelta Aba jo district are, for the most part, very friendly to the insurgent cause and offer no opposition to the progress of the insurgent forces. It is almost like moving in a friendly country, and superior forces of troops are easily avoided.

A part or all of the forces which moved west along the north coast Tuesday have countermarched by the south coast. The official report says there were 800 of them under Nunez, Bermudez and Alvarez and that they started back eastward from Palenque, passing between San Luis and the city of Pinar del Rio and very near the latter city. They proceeded thence along the south coast in the direction of Candelaria.

General Luque received intelligence of their movement and set out to intercept the insurgent march. He marched toward Angostura, a village south of San Cristobal, near which point he met the insurgent vanguard, which had already left the night's camp. The main force of the insurgents, however, had not yet come up. Twelve scouts were captured and General Luque then proceeded forward. He reports that he surprised ti enemy in their camp.

The insurgents, however, seem to have made a plucky stand, and the battle raged fiercely for two hours. The troops fought in high spirits, says the report, and at the close of that time their heavy artillery fire was seconded by a bayonet charge, before which tl^e insurgents broke ancl "retreated in all directions" as the official report avers. Whether this included the direction to the rear of General Luque is not specifically stated, and will not be known until the next position of Nunez, Bermudez and Alvarez is reported.

The insurgents are said to have lost seven killed, including Colonel Francisco Cruz and Rodriguez, the bearer of ths colors. The colors, together with firearms, ammunition and seven prisoners fell into the hands of the Spanish, and the insurgents, it is reported, carried away numerous wounded. Nineteen of the troops are reported to have been wounded, but no dead are reported.

The village ©f San Nicolas, east of Guines, in Havana province, has been burned and much spoil carried away.

Jibacoa, in the extreme northern portion of Havana province, is also reported to have been attacked, but the insurgents are reported to have been repulsed. The damage they inflicted before the repulse is not stated, but is is said that they left one dead and three wounded and carried off several wounded.

Nothing has occurred to improve the situation of affairs in the city itself, and the supply of the ordinary necessities of life is precarious and exceedingly high priced, and the outlook for the future offers little encouragement. The seve lty shown towards those who express disaffection with the situation and w. the authorities does not avail to suppress this feeling, and the mutterings of discontent and of criticism of the helpless attitude of the authorities becomes daily louder and deeper.

Even those whose sympathies are loyal to the Spanish government are hopeless of any success in suppressing the rebellion with the present military force and machinery of organization. It is difficu.t to describe the extent of this feeling, of the extent to which it acts as a silent drag on the energies and hopes of the leaders in authority.

Admission at Madrid.

MADRID, Jan. 17. Dispatches received here from Havana say that the insurgents have cut off all means of land communication between that city and the interior, except by the short railroad from Havana to Marianao, in the province of Havana, and over the still shorter railroad between Pagla and Guanabacoa, suburbs of that city. Consequently, the steamships are the only means of communication with the capital and the provinces which remain at the disposal of the authorities.

United States Senate Wilt Soon Act. WASHINGTON, Jan. 17.—Senator Call

gave notice yesterday that he would soon move, to discharge the foreign relations committee from consideration of the resolution/9, for the recognition of the Cubans, as belligerents in order to have the Senate vote directly on the question without further delay.

IN CONCHA PASS.

This calm certainty was begotten of a dream into which he had not ventured far in respect to its interpretation, but the little he had seen was marvelous. The dream had been long, but certain things stood out in his memory. At first he thought that he, the most temperate of men, was drinking a very sweet liquid from a cup cf gold, and became intoxicated thereby that meant some great person would love and enrich him. Then fk face appeared—a very beautiful face, with blond hair about it—smiling in a most engaging way that meant joy and happiness. Next he was walking along a dusty road with the owner of that face —a young woman—and he had a sword in his hand that was a sign of success.

Therefore, Zeurino was not at all surprised when his white lady came tripping down the steps quite unattended and entered the gondola as coolly as she might a cab. In the first place foreigners have a way of doing just what they please, taking no account whatever of the social rules of the Venetian upper class second, Zefirino had heard Venetian ladies discuss American girls a hundred times. He learned that they had a fragile beauty which disappeared early were very bold and impudent, stared at men as you might at a dog, but could defend themselves finally, they and their race were barbarians, and that was all about it.

Zefirino was a fi.7ie sight as with nervous strokes, unheeding the sarcasms showered about him in the Venetian dialect by his two less fortunate comrades, he swept the gondola away from the hotel steps, and, putting his best work on the forcola, where the sweep swung lightly but firmly, shot up the Grand canal. He knew that this was the first time the fair stranger had ever enjoyed the exquisite quiet and steady onward rush of a Venetian boat, for he was only too well aware that she had come late the night before on one of the steam launches from the station.

Not a word had the rose leaf blond uttered so far. She seemed to be stupefied by the beauty of Venice—or bored beyond making a motion—and when the dark arch of the Rialto was passed and the lovely palaces on the upper stretch brought no sign from her mute face, Zefirino was a little angry. He stopped rowing, leaned forward, and inquired. I" Command?"

No that did not work, either. The head in a perfect bonnet bent graciousAy, and one gloved hand was raised with as much ease as Queen Margherita herself might have displayed. Zefirino seized his oars and set to wondering how be could make her say even a word. Perhaps she knew as little Italian as he did English. What was his surprise, then, to hear her call out to stop as they neared a broad boat full of vegetables and fmit which was being alowly poled along, and in very slowly spoken but not impossible Italian negotiate for some oranges and pomegranates. It was out of all order so to da Bread and waiter for a week would have been .the portion of a signorina of one of the real old families who dared to do such a thing. And then the sweet lips uttered "Zefirino, a!hd the little hand held out of the ibta wfadaw a couple of brfetfges to the gonddlierl

He ran forward a few steps and knelt on one knee to receive them, muttering to himself blearing* -by all the saints, but was too agitated to say much. Such a glance as she gave him^-such a mischievous, bewildering glance! As if she saw right through his body and knew that his heart was thumping. The rest of the giro, through canals great and small, back to the hotel was as much a dream as that on which his hopes were built. He hardly came to himself until he was lying on his bqck on the quay, trying to think it all over.

The signorina, bless her little gracious head, with the prettiest bad accent in the world, had ordered Zefirino Ito wait her pleasure that evening just before moonrise, so that she might be Itaken on to the lagoon opposite the Piazza, near San Gioraio. AND ,-BDA tba

THE GONDOLIER.

Zefirino was not the largest gondolier in Venice, nor the handsomest neither was he ever guilty of winning a prize in the sandolo races, but be was not a bit surprised when the very blond signorina from America picked him out from the crowd of gondoliers who were bumping their boats against each other, calling one another pigs and such like fanciful names under their breaths, and shouting to the young lady who stood, half amazed, half disgusted, on the hotel steps.

Zefirino was neat as a pin, young and good looking. He neither scowled at bis fellows nor pushed his boat far into the crowd. Rather did he stand proudly on the high stern with the air of a man of gentle blood whom fate had reduced to a meager, but not dishonorable, trade. Yet that was not the reason of his calmness and the quiet certainty that she would select him to bo her gondolier during her stay in Venice.

double effect of the light on the square and the moon on the wave. True to the instant, as the boat touched the steps the white lady appeared. Would she have gone had she known what madness was boiling in the young gondolier? As the first hint of the moon tipped the horizon her voice came quietly, but not to be gainsaid, "Sing, Zefirino 1" The poor boy was a very nightingale that night, with his breast against the thorn of love. As he continued it seemed as absnrd and hopeless as possible that he should ever win the woman before him. Therefore it was that his melancholy became wonderfully mingled with triumph, and that when he could sing no more, the lady was interested enough in the singer to ask him something about himself.

She did not understand all he said, but the dream, the way she mixed up in it, struck her fancy immensely, and perhaps alarmed her a little to boot. Peeling thus, she wrote down, without thinking, numbers on the edge of the boat and gazed at them in the brilliant moonlight. Strange! She was just 18, and two of the other numbers were just the ages of the two persons who stood nearest to her in life I It was a shook. Perhaps there was something in it. "Zefirino, buy 2 and 18 and 38."

The white lady was roused from the delicious reverie in which moonlight in Venice steeps one. Boats came down the canal in a knot, from which rose the twanging of guitars and formed a background for two cries. One was "Zefirino," the other "La donna bianca." That was what Zefirino had called her, and she had been amused thereat. But the boats stopped at the hotel, and before the porters could hold them in a parley, the revelers had picked Zefirino up and carried him bodily on to the terrace to render thanks to the white lady, who had counseled him so well. For poor Zefirino, when the strain gave way, must needs blab of her to whom he firmly believed his fortune was due. As the excited men rushed up a tall figure rose in a leisurely way from a chair, and taking the white lady's arm in his faced the group with no very amiable countenance. "Who are those insolent beggars, my dear?" "Hush," said the white lady, putting her hand over his mouth. "This is my gondolier, Zefirino, whom I advised to buy a certain number in the lottery, and he has won, I see." "So that is the way they spend their money!" "Oh, dear, you old goose, will you never stop being so practical? They are like children, don't you see?"

Zefirino was white and trembling, but he plucked up courage to thank his saint, his liberator, his patroness, his goddess, for having brought him luck and made him a rich man. Then he stopped and said timidly: "And to your zio, illustrious white lady, I"—

The white lady burst out laughing and said in a low tone: "George, do you hear? He takes you for my uncle." "Humph 1 I see nothing childlike in that!" "Zefirino, this gentleman is my husband, and his age is one of the numbers I chose from the five you selected. "Marito!" cried Zefirino, with a quaver that let all the persons present into a secret he would have done better to bury deep in his breast. One or two began to feel the awkwardness of the whole proceeding, and by a happy diversion caused the whole party to retreat under a volley of thanks and compliments. On the hotel steps Zefirino was like a dazed man.

After all," he muttered, he is not so young—he may die."—Gentlewoman.

A Story of Charles O'Conor. At the closing of the St. Nicholas hotel in 1884, in answer to a question by the writer how he succeeded in saving the life of Colonel Loring in the memorable trial for murder committed at that hotel, Charles O'Conor gave the following account:

After the trial had proceeded for some time the court was informed by the jury that one of their number was a relative of the prisoner. The court adjourned trial for consultation on a question so serious. Mr. O'Conor, as prisoner's counsel, consented to the withdrawal of the juror and stipulated to proceed with 11 jurors. The point was doubted, but on consent of the district attorney the trial proceeded with 11 jurors. The only witness to the killing was the bootblack, who testified that on some disturbance being made by Graham in throwing out his boots the prisoner angrily came from his room and, an altercation ensuing, with his sword cane stabbed Graham and worked about the weapon when in his body, and witness shortly informed prisoner that Graham was dead. "What did he say when you told him this?"

Answer—No. O'Conor—Is that the answer of one who intended to kill? Is it not the answer yon would make if informed a friend yon had just seen was dead?

Seeing the jury somewhat impressed by thirview and the change appearing in theif fabes, he so pressed the point that they fdand a verdict of manslaughter. The'court imposed the heaviest penalty—imprisonment for seven years.— W. Watson in North American Review.

Butchery In War.

In one of Du Guesclin's victories so many English were taken captive that even the humblest soldier among the French had one or more prisoners. The victors, however, fell to quarreling, and ill feeling becoming rife in the Frenoh army in consequence of these quarrels over the prisoners Du Guesclin ordered all the oaptives to be butchered, and the brutal order was oarried out. ,,,
