Albany, Feb. 22. The N. Y. State
democratic convention was called to or
der by Chairman Edward Marphy, of
the state committee, at noon today. The
crush was tremendous, many delegates
being shut out through the anxiety of
Aioany people to get in. Without for
mality the chairman introduced the
temporary chairman, Judge George M.
ueeoe. Judge Seebe'a reterenee to
David B. Hill as "a leader under whom
the democracy never had known disaster,
dishonor or defeat," evoked great ap
plause. Following the eneech of Beebe.
the clerk called the roll of delegates.
When the name of Lieut.'Gov. Sheeban
was called, there was'a surDrisine dem
onstration of applause, almost equaling
that accorded the mention of Hill's
name. Committees were armnintpi?
- 4 1 J
and rules fixed to govern the selection of
delegates to the National convention in
Chicago, June 21st. A recess was taken
until 3 :30 p. m. Previous to the as
sembling of the state convention the
state committee met for the rjtirnoae of
settling several contests. The protest of
tne Cooper union meeting, with a reso
lution asking for a dissolution of today's
convention, by a unanimous, vote was
laDiea. immediately alter tabling tne
Cooper union protest the committee de
cided the contest in the second Chautau
qua, first Oswego and fourth Albany dis
tricts. In each case.Hill delegates were
selected. Thus contests were shut out
from the notice of the convention. The
committtee of the anti-Hill movement
met in paivate quarters, where the situ
ation was canvassed for a definite hear
ing and definite action. The memhpm
of the committee are Elory Anderson,
W. R. Grace, Colonel Robert M. Monroe,
Edward B. Whitney, and Wallace Mc
Farland; Senator Dolph Stole a March.
Washington, Feb. 22. Mr. Stump, of
Maryland, and Mr. Geary, of California,
are involved in an amusing, but none
the less bitter, personal controversy over
the authorship of a Chinese .bill in the
house. : While they are disputing as to
who would receive the credit for the bill
introduced, Senator Dolph, of Oregon,
introduced and passed, a Chinese exclu
sion bill in the senate, thus stealing the
thunder of both of them. Representa
tive Robert Hitt, of Illinois, who is an
authority on diplomatic service in the
bouse by reason of his connection with
the diplomatic ' service - at home and
abroad, and also his long service ..in the
committee on foreign affairs, in. connec
tion with the controversy now going on
between members as to who shall have
the credit of - forcing the passage of
the Chinese exclusion act. says the var
ious acts proposed are. in direct viola
tion of the treaty with the Chinese gov
ernment. ' He is not" posing as the
Chinaman's friend, but he is disposed to
believe that there is more political . sen
timent than anything else mixed up in
the Chinese question. There are men
in congress today, from the Pacific coast,
who have small armies of Chinese ser
vants at home, and in private-, conversa
tion they declare that they could not get
along without Chinese domestics. "If
the Chinese finally concluded to go,"
continued Hitt, "and there was no fur
ther pretext to - agitate the question,
some of our political friends' would -be
out of a job." The same condition of
affairs would result, he said, if the tariff
and the silver questions were finally dis
posed just now. -,
; " The Metal or the Future.. " .
NbVt York, Feb. 22. Aluminum as the
metal of the future is much nearer than
many are aware. There are now six es
tablishments producing pure aluminum,
of which two are in this country. Re
cent improvements in electricity have so
reduced the cost of producing it, that its
price has been reduced from five and six
dollars to fifty "Icehts a pound. Wher
ever lightness and resistance to corrosion
are desirable this metal is greatly super
ior to anything now known, and while
it will probably never be the universal
metal that iron is, it will largely- snp
plafit copper, tin; zincy pewter, brittania,
metal, brass, German silver and even
silver. When pure, it is not much
stronger than steel in proportion to its
weight, but in, alloys it may supplant
steel for many engineering purposes.
Aluminum is only two and a half times
as heavy as water, while- iron is seven
and a half times as heavy, brass eight
times, copper nine times, silver ten and
a half times, lead eleven times and gold
nineteen times. This fact, together with
its non-corro6iveaessr gives aluminum a
decided advantage over silver for table
ware and for ornamental work, for cook
ing utensils, and for use in surgical in
struments. The German government is
substituting aluminum for copper in its
cartridge shells, as copper ie rapidly cor
roded by the new smokeless powder. In
fact, almost every day new uses for
which aluminum is peculiarly suited are
being discovered. Next to oxygen and
silicon, aluminum is the most abundant
element on the earth's surface, and the
only limit to the rapid extension of its
use in ttie cost of manufacture.
"Help! Cash-us; Ere We Sink."
St. Louis, Feb. 22. It was a condom-
O
erate Catherine that met in convention
here this afternoon to consider upon the
desirability of a third party. -A delegate
from Oregon had the floor for a time.
declaring that the opening gun of the
national campaign would be firci by
his state and calling for. help ! to carrv
Oregon for the people's party. . The re
port ot schilling showed that less than
$50 remained in the partv excheaner.
and that of $1200 subscribed at the Cin
cinnati convention only one subscriber
had turned in a cent. .' Chairman Tan-
beneck authorized the appointment of a
committee of ten to canvass for funds.
The committee was having a hot wrangle
as to whether it should record itcelf as
ordering arrangements made for the
national convention, when a halt was
demanded by- Marion Cannon,- state
president of the California farmers'
alliance. It was decided before dointr
anything further to await the action of
tne convention. U that body decided to
take action looking to the nomination of
a presidential candidate, the people's
party will go ahead upon its own hook
immediately.
Scandal Monger PnnUhexI.
Hastings,: Neb., Feb. 22. A. Yocurn,
ex-mayor of Hastings, and at present
special -collector of customs, with head
quarters in Idaho, who is home on a
visit, this evening met Mjron von Fleet
in front of the Hotel Bostrick, on one of
the busiest thoroughfares in the the
city. Without a word he pulled a revol
ver and fatally shot Von Fleet. The
affair is the outgrowth of a scandalous
article published in a sensational sheet
in Lincoln in December, alleging that
Captain Yocum's daughter had eloped
to Denver, with a colored coachman.
The story . spread until it reached the
ears of the family, when 'the fact, was
made public that Mies Yocum - had not
been away from the city at all. It is
asserted she had "been hounded by Von
Fleet, who had repeatedly thrust 'his
attentions. ..upon . her. When Cap.
Yocum returned he investigated . the
matter, and satisfied himself Von Fleet
was the author of the scandal, and to
night Ehot him. Yocum is in custody.

Washington, Feb.7 22. The : subcom

the subject of options. Raymond, of the
Detroit board of trade, opposed the - pen

WUl Give all a Rest. -
Db ad wood, Feb. 22. Mrs. Blaine has
left for Hot Springs on her way to Sioux
Falls, South Dakota. After a few days'
rest there she will leave for the South,

When an Honest Keller I Expressed
Candidates' are Made hy the -People.
Detkoit, Feb. 22. The annual ban
quet of the Michigan Club, celebrating
Washington's birthday, brought together
the leading republican politicians from
all parts of this state, and from many
other states. It was stated the banquet
was not given for the purpose of for
warding the interests of any presidential
candidate particularly. It was denied
that there was any intention to boom
Gen. Alger, and it was asserted its sole
object was to kindle the enthusiasm of
the republicans of the state for the party
nominee, whoever he may be. The
banquet was held in the rink, a great,
barn-like structure, whose inherent ug
liness was hidden away under the folds
of artistically draped bunting and por
traits of Washington, Lincoln, Grant
and others. Covers were laid for 1200
persons at the tahlps
floor, while upon the platform at one
side, under a brilliant canopy, sat the
speakers and the guests of honorl Gen.
Alger introduced Congressman Burrows
.to deliver the address of welcome, and,
in doing so, referred to the "Michigan
izing" by the democrats, and declared
that in November Michigan would elect
a legislature that would restore the leg
islative districts to their proper shape
and elect a republican successor to Sen
ator Stockbridge. BurroB said the
task of welcoming the guests of the club
annually devolved upon the governor,
but owing to a slight mistake this time
that gentleman happened to be a demo
crat. He assured his hearers, however,
the mistake should not happen again in
the next twenty-five years. Michigan,,
he said, had always the least electoral
vote for a republican presidential candi
date, and proceeded to give the list
from 185& down. When Blaine's name-
was reacned, tne assembly broke into a
round of enthusiastic applause. His
indorsement of the McKinley law and
reciprocity was also warmly greeted.
Senator Dolph, of Oregon, spoke on
"Wnshincrrnn th Prntsnlinniiit " if
- o -"'-- """" v. .11
ter making a fitting allusion to the mem
ory of Washington, Senator Dolph pro
ceeded to discuss the tariff question, the
all-absorbing question which divides
the two great political parties today, and
upon which it becomes more and more
evident the next presidential contest will
be fought. He paid his tribute to the
success of the' McKinley law, and said
the reciprocity provision of the law
proved of great value. In conclusion
the senator warmly eulogized President
Harrison's administration, and ex
pressed the opinion that the people wil'
again,' as in 18S8, lay aside all difference
of opinion upon minor matters, and by
their verdict in November again declare
that American industry and American
labor shall be protected against cheap
labor and cheap labor products of for
eign countries. '.' .
Why He Declared Himself.
Washington, Fel. 22. Ex-Senator
Henry W. Blair has little to, say con
cerning his declared candidacy for the
presidential,, nomination. He told a
reporter -he had been importuned by
political friends to become a candidate
for the honor, and he believed their con
fidence in him demanded an honest
statement on bis part. He added : "I
think, a man should not conceal his real
position when he ia asked to declare bis
real position on public questions or in
regard. to his candidacy for a public
office. . I was asked if-1 would become a
candidate for the republican nomination,-
and I felt I should make an an
swer. My public letter explains my
position." He said he did not care to
say anything at present concerning the
assurances of support be bad received or
bv whom they had been offered.
