DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION.
The following dispatch hit been tent
out from St Paul, Minnesota, by the as
sociated, press. Our readers understand
these dispatches mutt be taken with a
grain of allowance:
The democratic meeting to occur at the
Nicollet house, In Minneapolis, Wednet
day, Is destined to be the mOKt sensational
political gathering held in several years.
It has developed that friends of David B
Hill , the New York governor and senator,
sent an emissary to Minnesota two weeks
ago, and he is responsible for the calling of
the meeting. The gathering will first at
tempt to down the "silk stocking" wing of
the party in this state, composed of 1' H
Kelley, William Campbell and Michael
Doran, all of whom are for Cleveland and
If this is accomplished an effort will be
made to swing Minnesota Into line for
Hill.
Th farmers' alliance, through, Presi
dent Donnelly, has also Issued a call for a
meeting in St Paul, July 7. There has
been a conference between the alliance
men and the "free-silver" democrats, the
work of which Is likely to show up imme
diately after the two meetings. It is stated
that an agreement has been reached for a
fusion on the electoral ticket, the demo
crats to take live and the alliance four. The
fusion also contemplates the nomination
of Sidney M Owen, an alliance man, for
governor, and a union on the legislative
tlcket.lf possible, with a view toeuchrelng
Senator Davis out of his seat. The state
senate, which holds over, stands: Fusion
39, lepublican 25. In order to win this
fight, the fusionlsts must elect fifty-six out
of 114 members of the house. A sensa
tional Incident In connection with the
whole matter Is the peremptory refusal of
the allianee men to treat with the Cleve
land wing of the democratic party. The
farmers of Minnesota are for an unlimited
coinage, and urge that Cleveland's position
on the silver question precludes the possi
bility of considering him in the proposi
tion for a fusion .
HOW SPOOLS AKE MADE,
Birch u ood is preferred . The wood is
first sawed into sticks four or five feet long
and leven-eights ol an inch to three inches
square, according to the size of the spool to be
produ:ed. These slicks are thoroughly sea
soned. They are sawed into short blocks
and dried in a hot-air kiln. At the time they
are sawed, holes are bored perpendicularly
thiough each block, which is set on end under
a rapidly revolving, long-shanked augur.
Next, one whirl of each little block against
some little knives that are turning at light
ning speed, fashions it into a spool according
to the pattern desired, and that, too, at the
rate of one a second for each set of knives. A
row af small boys feed the spool making ma
chines by simply the blocks in a spout, select
ing the Dest and throwing out the knotty and
defective stock. The machinv is automatic,
but there are some thingsthar it cannot do,
hence the employment of the small boys
above mentioned. After the spools are turned
they are placed in a large drum and revolved
rapidly until they have taken on a fine polish.
For some special pui poses tlwy are dyed yel
low, black or red, according to taste. Whea
one see a spool of thread marked '2oV or
"300 yards," it does not signify that the
thread Lbs been measured, but that the spool
has been gaged, and is supposed to have that
amount of thread upon ft.
Another of the "beneficial effects of (he
McKinley bill" is to be seen in Fall River,
where 31,000 mill operatives are to suffer
a cut In wages. Napoleon McKinley, re
publican candidate for governor of Ohio
In 6earch of a vindication, will not dwell
upon this fact In his speeches tills summer
and fall. '
A lobster recently caught In Belfast Bay,
Me., weighed twenty-three pounds and
measured thirty-seven inches from the end
of his tail to the longest claw, twenty
Inches around the bodjr, and seventeen
Inches around the large claw.
A vast "banyan' tree,covcring between
six and seven acres, has been discovered
on the tiny Lord Howe Island, 300 miles
from Port Macquaric, in Australia. It is
surpassed in size onlyby the greatest of
those In India
The surplus has ceased to be a condition,
and has been replaced by another, colled
a deficiency; this will be followed by a
third, Increased taxation. To a billion

immigrants has been 401,233, against 31S,
615 f ir the same months of the previous

very large proportion of this incieasa is in
the least desirable elass of immigrants,
namely, about 17,000 from Italy, 14,000
from Poland, 9000 from Russis, 6000 from
Huugsry, and nearly as many from Hohemia
But a very heavy increase, more than 16,

Germany, and oyer 6000 io the immigration
