The Secretary has stu dioiisly refrained from saying whether or not he will support McKinley and bolt Bryan, and Mr. Bynum's apparent . assumDtion that he will take that step is the cause of some adverse criticism on the part of Mr. Carlisle s Irieoas. GRAIN AND PROVISIONS. Stp-embM Wheat and Corn Closed Weak and Lower 0ta Firm Pork Higher Lrd and Bibs lit war. By Telegraph to the Morning Star. Chicago, July 28. The marketing of Ions wheat carried prices to the inside, where they rested.

Cash corn was weaK and Jc per bushel lower. Oats sympathized a little with the other grains, but there was present an undertone of firmness which held prices fairly steady. Cash oats were in good demand and steady. ! Provisions were quiet, presenting no incident nor event at all interesting. The feeling was generally weak, although an exception to the rule was noted in pork, which rallied shortly after tbe opening. Shorts, Oj their purchases for covering purposes, contribnud tbe strength to that commodity. Septem ber pork closed 5c higher than yester day, September lard 5c lower and Sep tember rits 57ic lower.

Will Present Nothing For Bis Acceptance cr . Brjietim rb Give Oppcrtunity to Divide tbe Friends of Yican oial Beform. By Telegraph to the Horning Star. Washington. July 28. Senator Ste wart Kol Neva ia, who was one ot the active forces at the recent Silver and Populist Conventions in St. Louis, re turned to the v city this morning. A United Press reporter asked him what importance he attached to the pub lished report that Chairman Jones, of the Democratic National Committee, and Gov. Stone, of Missouri, were con sidering the advisability of withdrawing Bryan s name Irom the f opuast ticket. In making his reply Senator Stewart drew freely upon his picturesque, forci ble and well-stocked vocabulary of Eoelish. He said: "None whatever, Neither I ones nor tsryan nor anyotner individual can- prevent the Populists from using Bryan's name and voting for him. The people have some rights as well as the candidates. The vast maioriiv of the Populist Convention are friends ot tsryan ana win ao cveryimng in their oower to secure his election. 1 . a .!! They will present nothing to him, for acceotance or rejection, to give the enemy an opportunity to aiviae ine.i friends of financial reform. Bryan s record is all the platform any true finan cial reformer can possibly desire. ' "Will any communication be made by the PoDulist leaders of the convention to Mr. Bryan?" "I see no propriety in communicating to Mr. Bryan what occurred at St. Louis at the Populist Convention or calling upon him to discuss the Populist plat form. Any proceeding of that kind could have but one object, namelv: to embarrass and defeat him. The Popu lists who voted for him in convention don't want to defeat him. It is their de sire to elect him." "You have no doubt then,". Senator Stewart was asked, -'that the Populists will cheerfully co operate with the Dem ocrats for this purpose? "The Populists." :eplied Senator Stewart, significantly, "will pin with the Jeffersonian Democracy of Chicago, which eliminated the spurious, modern, John Sherman, gold-bug,- swindling Democrats from the ranks. There is no difference between the 620 American citizens of the Jeffersonian stripe who nominated Bryan at Chicago and the thousand other patriotic citizens who did the same thing at St. Louis. They have united their forces against the com bination of monarchists, aristocrats, monopolists, de spots, property-wreckers, swindlers, gold gamblers, and enemies of civilization, with headquarters on the other side of tbe Atlantic, and doing an active business in that section of this country known as Wall street. There is no use of Hanna spending more time in manufacturing new "middle-of-the- road enthusiasts out of gold-bugs to repudiate Bryan. The money already expended on such patriots aa Henry L. Call, ot New York, and others who are attempting to create a new silver party out of the gold-bug material manufac tured to order by the Hanna combina tion will be wasted." STEAMSHIP BERMUDA. Said t o Have Been Bought by an Engllah- man for the Cuban Junta and Boon to bs Sent Out on an . Important Expedition. By Telegraph to the Morning Star. Philadelphia, July 28. Tne filibus tering steamship Bermuda was sold to day to J. Milliard, a marine architect, whose office is in New York. He is a British subject and will at once take steps to have the ship's Eaglisb custom house registry restored. This can only be done through the admirality office in England, wbicb some time ago cancelled the ships custom house registry after she had returned from a successful and sensational filibustering expedition to Cuba. The cancelling of the ship's reg istry virtually made her a prisoner. Since then she has been a ship without a nation, unable' to obtain clearing papers from tbe custom house. Several attempts bave been made to have her cleared but each time Capt. Clipperton, the British consul, has filed a protest with Collector Read. 1 s John Hart, the managing officer of the ship, refused to talk about the terms ot the sale. Just what the ship's new owner proposes to do with her could not be learned. It was said to-day that the steamer will sail next week for Jsmaica, where tbe transfer to the new registered owner will be made, and legal formalities complied with on British soil. It was also said that herearter the vessel will not be engaged in filibustering expedi- xions. Various rumors concerning tbe Ber muda were in circulation to day. One had it that Mr. Milliard had purchased tne snip tor a German firm, in New York, who has been commissioned to buy the ship by the Cuban Junta, and that the vessel would be sent out as soon as possible with an important expedi tion consisting ot men and arms. It was further stated that Col. Aeuirre had been sent to this country by Gen. Gomez witn special instructions to purchase the Bermuda, or any other suitable ship so as to nurry up the expedition. Col. Aguirre is now in New York. POPULIST. CONVENTIONS la Indiana and Vermont Small Attendance and Li tie Interest Manifested at the Indianapolis Gathering. By Telegraph to the Morning Star.

Morning Star. London. July 28. The International Socialists' Trades Congreet met again in St. Martin's town ball to-day. In view of the disorder which characterized yes terday's meeting, there was a large crowd of outsiders present who appar ently were aaxious to see e repetition of the trouble.' As tbe delegates presented themselves for admission, a close sera tiny was made of their credentials, it being feared that some ot the Anarch ists would endeavor to get on the floor and make trouble. - Some of those who bore credentials which were not in ex actly the right shape were relused ad mission to the floor of the hall. Herr Singer, the well known Socialist of the German Reichstag, who speaks English fluently, acted as chairman at; to day's session. He referred to yester day's disturbance and announced that order would have to be maintained. After the usnal preliminaries tbe Con gress took up the question of the admis sion ot Anarchists, against which a large majority vote was cast yesterday. Several speeches for and against their recognition as delegates were mide. Tbe speakers were very much excited, and those in favor of the admission of the Anarchists hotly contended that if tbey were not admitted the Congress would not be internationally repre ssntativein its scope, and that its decisions and conclusions would not carry the weight which they would otherwise have. The opponents of the proposition declared with equal spirit that the admission of the Anarchists would bave the effect of leading the general public to believe that the So cialists favored the Anarchist propa ganda, which, the speakers contended. was not the case. Another vote was taken and it was dr cided 203 to 104 to refuse to recog nize them. The Anarchist would-be delegates were outside the ball watting for tbe de cision. it was anally decided by them to force an entrance into tbe hall, and the decision was no sooner arrived at than it was carried out. A rush was made for the doorkeepers, who were speedily upset, and tbe crowd of Anarchists made their way to the gallery. Then arose a perlect babel. Tbe delegates shouted in their native tongues, Russian, Polish. French, German, Italian, Spanish and English that the intruders should be put out. . . Speakeis opposed the proposition and tbe excitement waxed until it appeared that there was a decidedly favorable chance of yesterday's disgraceful scene being repeated. Herr Singer finally suc ceeded in obtaining a little order and it was then agreed that properly accredited Anarchists should be admitted, but should be allowed to take no part in the debates. Then another vote was taken and it was decided to uphold tbe Zurich resolution, which, in effect, provides that an Anarchist shall not be admitted, There the a aestion remains at present INCENDIARY RRE.

The aweto. as the Maoris or natives of New Zealand call it, or Hipialis virescens, as naturalists term it, is found in New Zealand and is a vegetable caterpillar of from 3 to 4 inches in length, and so far science bas not been able to say whether it is a vegotable or an insect. It is always found at the foot of largo myrtle trees that have beautiful red flowors on their stems, and a beautiful creeping clematis as white as the snow. The Maoris call this tree by the name of rata. The aweto buries itself among the roots of the rata, a few inches below the ground, and there lives until it is full grown, wben it under goes a most wonderful change. The spore of a vegetable fungus, termed by natural ists Sophoeria robertsii, fastens itself to the neck of the caterpillar, .just between" the head and the first ring, and then grows upward to the height of from 6 to 8 inches. Many people assert that there is never more than one stem, but such is not the case, for some havo been found with two stems, although very rarely. The stem shoots up out of the ground, above where the- caterpillar is living, about 2 or 3 inches. Below the earth it grows into the aweto until it fills up every possible space within tho outer skin with out changing the form of the insect in the slightest way whatsoever, but simply sub stituting a vegetable matter for animal matter. As soon as this takes place Both tho plant and cuterpillw become dry and hard and die, but retain exactly the same form as when alive. The whole has a brown color, and the insect appears a wooden cat erpillar with a huge horn anding up from tbe back of its neck. How the cater pillar manages to propagate its species no one can tell. Usually the caterpillar be comes a chrysalis, the chrysalis changes into a moth, the moth lays eggs, and these eggs again become caterpillars, and so on without stopping. Many reasons are given why the plant shoots up from the back of tho neck of tho aweto. One is that the aweto lias a slimy substance oozing out from its neck, which, while the aweto is boring at tho foot of the rata tree for its only food, catches the seeds of the fungus and holds, it fast there till the latter be gins to grow. When it has sucked all tho vegetable life out of tho aweto. it must naturally die, for it finds no further nour ishment. The aweto is often found in large numbers. Boston Transcript. DON'T KILL THE DOG. Good Advice to Persons Who Have Been Bitten and Fear Hydrophobia. "If you are bitten by a dog, don't kill the beast, but take every precaution to let him live for a few days at least. " Professor Logoria, chief of , the Pasteur Institute in Chicago, made this statement to a reporter, and he is supposed to be an authority. "It is a great mistake people make," he said, "to start in at once'to kill a dog that has bitten them, or have it killed. It has been proved scientifically, and is admitted now by all physicians who are posted, that hydrophobia is not a spontaneous disease and cannot bo given to a person by a dog bite unless the dog be mad when it causes tho wound. The dog's condition, if.lt be mad, will be manifested, within two days, or two weeks at tho latest. By permit ting, it to live, therefore, tho physicians can tell definitely whether the person bit ton is liable to havo hydrophobia. If the dog goes nittd within that time they know the person bitten may bo inoculated with tho same dread disease, and may have tbe same fate. If the -dog does not go mad, then there it no fear of hydrophobia, and tho wound can be treated as any other wound would bo. By killing the dog you destroy the chance of certainty as to the fate of tho person bitten and leave the im agination full rein to fear the worst re sults, when it might have been possible to know in advance thr.t hydrophobia was impossible. : , "Of course," continued tho doctor, "there are exceptions to this rule that will suggest themselves to persons. ' When a dog is so vicious that to leave it alivo is to endanger other people, then the first duty would be to destroy it unless it could be carefully secluded where the possibility of harm would be removed. But even in such cases where the dog is killed it should be done by a physician, who should keep a portion of the brain, by which can be de termined whether the dog bad rabies or not."
