Ar-
Repultllcan Machine of Michigan
rayed Against Him.
Grand Rapids, Mich.. Aug. 6. !Xot
in a dozen years has a Republican state
convention in Michigan been attended
with eo much excitement, enthusiasm
and noise as the one now in session.
The chief interest attaches to the con
test for gubernatorial nomination. H.
S. Pingree, mayor of Detroit, originator
of the Pingree potato scheme for utiliz
ing vacant city lots for the poor, has the
second time made a determined on
slaught on the governorship. Arrayed
against Pingree is the influence of the
state Republican machine. The ma
chine candidate is said to be Bliss,
though this is denied. - Although Michi
gan is supposed to be a strong silver
state, it is expected that the St. Louis
platform will be emphatically endorsed.

SITUATION IS SERIOUS.
Weather Bureau's Explanation of the
Cause of the Warm Weather.
Washington, Aug. 6. The reports of
the maximum temperature received by
the weather bureau show that the pres
ent warm wave is general. The officials
Bay it is very unusual for the , tempera
ture to reach so high a point in eo many
parts of the country at one time. The
heat is due to the area of high barometer
which has prevailed over the southern
portion of the country, and the low bar
ometer in the northern part, which re
sults' in great waves of " beat coming
toward the north. In this city the heat
during the past few days has been in
tense and today the thermometer haa
reached its maximum, registering, 96.'

Ayer's Sarsaparilla enjoys the extra
ordinary distinction of having been the
only blood purifier allowed on exhibit at
the world's fair, Chicago. Manufact
urers ' of other sarsaparillas sought by
every means to obtain a showing of their
good b, but they - were all turned away
under the application of the rule for-'
bidding the entry of patent medicines
and nostrums. . The decision of the
world's fair authorities in favor of Ayer's
Sarsaparilla was in effect as follows:
Ayer's Sarsaparilla is not a patent
medicine. It does not belong to the
list of nostrums. It is here on its
merits."

Spread of Republican Sentiment la Spain
Has Been Concealed.
Madrid, Aug. 6. Trouble of a Berious
nature is being fomented in Spain, par
ticularly in the province of Valencia, by
agents of the Cuban insurgents. The
minister of the interior, Senor Cosgayon,
yesterday, replying to a question in the
chamber of deputies admitted that riots
bad occurred in Valencia, caused by the
friends of, the Cuban insurgents, who
hoped thereby to prevent the departure
of reinforcements of troops to Cuba.
That the large Spanish army in Cuba
must be still further heavily reinforced
is looked upon here as being a confes
sion of weakness on the part of the ad
ministration ; and as an admission
of the growing strength ot the
Cubans. In addition, ' many letters
hare been received in different parts
of Spain by the relatives of the Spanish
soldiery serving with the army in Cuba,
and they tell terrible tales of sickness,
privation, incompetency and misman
agement, to say nothing of lack of pay,
that a dangerous feeling against the
government has arisen, and is gaining
strength day by day. Under these cir
cumstances, agents of the Cubans do not
have much difficulty in carrying out
their plan of causing popular outbreaks.
They steadily fan the flame of discon
tent by pointing to the apparently un
necessary hardships which the Spanish
troops in Cuba are compelled to endure.
The Republicans also are taking ad
vantage of the situation to push their
propaganda, and the combined move
ments are making more headway .with
the masses than the government will
admit, although it is already betraying
symptoms of alarm and has sent string
ent instructions to the prefects to sup
press promptly and effectually demon
strations which occur in their districts,
and to have no hesitation in calling out
the military for support.
