Colonel Phil Thomson, of Kentucky, a former member of Congress and active counsel for C. P. Huntington and other large interests, has a happy gift of communication and enlightened me yesterday nt the Waldorf upon many matters somewhat as follows: "Whom will the Democrats nominate for President next time?" "There Is but one name mentioned, Bryan.

He has held himself very well since his defeat and he made the most remarkable campaign on the stump that 1 ever heard of. He is sure to be nominated if he lives; whether he Is elected or not will be another question." "Do yon not think New York city will not have something to say?" "Oh, yes. If Van Wyck acquits himself well, the ticket is liable to be Bryan and Van Wyck. Bryan would do well to go to Europe, because If he Is deficient anywhere, it Is In general foreign politics. He is a studious man and Is still very young, and bis observations and studies In Europe would expand his mind aud relieve him from the criticism that he can only discuss one question.

"I was, and I have no hesitation in saying that Garfield was the ablest man In Con- him on a familiar footing as It would be to obtain admittance to the secret diplomatic councils of his government. Yet In this country, within the classic halls of our universities, Americans of every station meet on an absolute equality the represents-, tives of noble lineage and distinguished ancestry from every nation in the world. No American university enjoys a wider repute abroad than does the University of Pennsylvania, and none can boast of a larger number of distinguished foreign students than cau she. No less, than two hundred students represent other nations on her rolls, and they are drawn from far and near. From Norway, Sweden, Russia, Austria and Turkey, to say nothing of Germany, France, Spain, Italy and the Britons, students are drawn annually.

From the Orient and Northern Africa an occasional quota Is received. From all the States of Central and South America and even from the islands of the Atlantic and Pacific students have come. Not usually to study engineering or the classics, but to enjoy the superior advantages of professional education. The medical and dental schools prove the most attractive. At present at Pennsylvania there Is a re Special Correspondence of The Times.

Oshkosh, January 7. Much interest has been aroused and much attention attracted by a series of experiments being carried on in Lake Winnebago, near here, with a submarine boat. How it got there Is a question which no one has been able to answer, since a Rtrange secrecy has been maintained regarding it. How It was built or operated would never be discovered, but the fact that It has proved entirely successful and will be publicly tried within a short time was developed In a recent Interview with Richard Raddatz. the inventor.

He talked quite freely of his boat and very entertainingly. "The submarine boat Is a winner." he said, "and the time has come when, in Justice to myself, I feel I should respond to your Invitation to make public the result of my experiments. I have put the boat through a series of the most trying tests, and she has come through them all with flying colors. If such an expression can be used In connection with a boat that travels beneath the waves, where colors cannot very well be flown. To show how and the limits of vision.

"The boat Is not Intended solely for waging war on the leviathans of the deep, although with Jts steel nose it can sink any battleship afloat with ease. I hope to see it put to useful and peaceable work In locating wrecks, carrying on coast and geodetic survey, pearl, coral and sponge fishing, survey for Individual enterprises, ca ble laying aud repairing, rendering aid to wrecking associations, corporations and divers, and for general scientific exploration in deep water." Mr. Raddatz says nothing regarding the vast store of wealth that awaits at the bottom of the ocean the coming of the first submarine crew. The cascades of golden coins that were emptied from the coffers of sunken treasure ships to fill the money chests of Jules Verne's Captain Nemo are still In store for the man who can reach them. There need be no hurry about It either, for there is enough treasure In the grasp of old Father Neptune to make the crews of a big fleet of submarine boats rich beyond the dreams of avarice.

and the purchasable and Catallne outlaws from the two parties the leaders of the third one. High throned in that smelling mess is Bushnell, who pines to be a Senator aud give frequent exhibitions of his artistic and intellectual nakedness. The election of McKlnley was a surprise and reproof of the sodden political class, and to disappoint hini in some way not clean, such as wounding his friend, is up to the breeding of the Court House burners and jail-minded malignauts who sometimes have a Governor to suit them. Brice was always obnoxious to this set. because he read books and mingled with gentlemen.

If Brice should now be elected by the few respectable Democrats joining the Republican mass the conspirators would see how the gods can fuse the wiles of envy. Hanna is a cordial novice and has a social status. He separates commerce from his domestic life und Is a helper, and all his projects are large. Assassins wonder that he sets the bad example of liberality and pays well for good service; the gun powder plot crew are now at their full moon glee and lustre, but what is it but Guiteau's Inspiration again at a gentle ruler. The Democratic party thus led will elect no President, for then all our Court Houses may be burned.

We heard about the dan cer and resolved to force over the nomina tion till next day, and we had Richardson In the chair, who suddenly put the question of adjournment aud pronounced it carried.

in spite of the roar of noes. The Issue which Bryan must meet Is whether he Is goiug to stand by the pickpockets of that convention or them who Oons Ueggiag. It Is no mean distinction to have refused crown. There is probably not one man in, a million who would decline a kingdom If It were offered hint, In spite of the restless nights and fearful days that are commonly supposed to be the lot of a king. Evea Cromwell Is said to have refused the crown of England more from fear of others than, from any other motive.

But there have been many men since Cromwell who have refused to wear a monarch's crown. Thirty-live years ago, when the throne of Greece was vacant, more than one great English statesman might have ruled over the destinies of that classic country, but the difficulties In the way were formidable. Mr. Gladstone's name was freely mentioned in connection with the crown of Greece, though, as Mr. Gladstone was a member of the government at the time, the proposal never took definite shape.

The late Lord Derby, however, who had strong sympathies with Greece, was offered the crown and refused It, throwing away 50,000 a year and a kingdom. It was not the first time a man bad declined to sit on the throne of Greece. Prince Leopold, the father of the present King of the Belgians, having refused the crown whea Greece was declared a kingdom. In 1S30. Prince Leopold's reason for refusing tha crown was that the proposed boundaries of the country were Insufficient, the exclusion of Crete especially influencing his decision.

Oue of Queen Victoria's sons, the Duke of Edinburgh, has also been offered the Grecian crown. He was appealed to in the sixties, at the time Lord Derby declined the crown, but was compelled to refuse the offer, owing to the attitude of the powers, who strongly declared their opposition to Prince Alfred being crowned King of the Greeks. The throne was then offered to the present King, on whose behalf it was accepted by his father, the King of Denmark. Tho crown, of Austria-Hungary was refused in the middle of the century by the Archduke Kranz Karl, the father of the present Emperor. King Ferdinand I.

abdicated in December, 1S48, the throne then descending in the ordinary course to Arch gave him a decent running mate. In New York Hill is apparently flung aside by Tammany and Gorman taken up as associate of Murphy. These two were advocates of Bryan while Hill played, as a ways, for himself and retained the confidence of neither element. The cold-blooded grasping-ness for himself of the Senatorial honor which Smith Weed had been promised by Hill and Hiil's subsequent envy of Gorman and antagonizing of him In the Senate and disputing his leadership, have thrown Hill out of his true camp, liquor, for Murphy 1b a brewer. i The middle class feeling Is now regretful that the consolidation of those cities was done.

Had the Low movement been left alone General Tracy could have succeeded. As It Is, the Bryan element has separated from the Manhattan Club- and Van Wyck's speech ttnifilyi'ir Strong was cither wilful surliness or taciturnity. 4 What does Bishop Potter mean by bemoaning the century, him who Is to have immortality soon In a better world? We who have no such certain expectations need to be encouraged, but the Bishop makes us fear that his treasure is right here. He is no exception to clergymen, who bungle poll-tics and conceive that this vast ocean of voting men are to be handled from his vestry. So did the choice spirits of Judaism shriek when It was proposed by a Jew to duke Franz Karl.

The Archduke, however, declined the crown, which he handed over gress in either party. There was a dignity, a thoroughness and a finish about all his speeches, and he was constantly learning to his sou, who still wears it. Another crown which has been more than once refused is the crown of Roumauia-When Roumania was declared a kingdom, it was settled that the throne should de and imparting. All he lacked, I think, was physical courage or the quality of resenting immediately an insult. He had moral courage, which in my view.

is merely the brain scend to Prince Leopold, the eldest brother of the then reigning King. The Prince, however, voluntarily yielded his rights to the crown iu favor of his son, Prince Wllhelm, the renunciation being registered In the Senate In October, 1SSH. Prince Wllhelm remained heir apparent for eight extend love to the unwashed Gentile million. Perhaps the extension of the suffrage to them was surer than love. Render to Croker the tilings which are Croker's.

Not many years ago I saw the Bishop's brother, Potter, in Congress, starting an investigation of the seating of President Hayes, which menaced a settled compromise with civil commotion. The candidate behind Potter was exposed as a corrupter of the electoral college and he threw his nephew out of his house and felt embittered all his life, while aud the reasoning sense or intelligence, i think Garfield was very much the superior of Coukllng, who was a bluffer, but who would take water If he met a resolute opponent.

Ever since cheerfulness has been a valuable article In Bishops. The earth has done well for the Potters; all of which who were not bishops were bankers and the original was a Rhode Island farmer In a State where the clams come ashore to starve; so his sons became fishers of men and the oldest married the only daughter of Dr. Nott, who set this age Its trade example and invested the funds of Union College In Long Island City, where I'at Gleason Is or was Mayor, and always espoused the sports of the people. That trade which Is the ruling power of England has also become the rule here and it cannot digest some supernumerary classes, but an ecclesiastic who affirms that we are all derived from the devil and none of us are Mascots should remember the signal cheerfulness of Colonel Hilly Mulligan's regiment, which, when advised by the chaplain that it was going to hell, cried with patriotism "Three cheers for hell:" James McHenry's estate has been robbed by a mysterious clerk, whom Jimmy Riley's Celtic love had trusted.

I took a letter from Riley seventeen years ago to McHenry in London, where he lived in an expensive park right under Holland House, and was the solitary exile. He had sacrificed one crown In the hope of receiving another, and lost both. Early In the present century Ferdinand VII. renounced the crown of Spain In favor of his father, who again refused It In favor of Napoleon. The great conqueror had to face a nation In arms, however, and never took the throne.

The story of Lord Beaeonsfleld's golden crown provides us with another Instance, though there was no throne with this strange crown. The man in whose brain tha Idea of crowning Lord Beacoustield originated is now dead, but as long as he lived he never recovered from the blow of Lord Beaeonsfleld's refusal of his tribute.

Matsuo Irwasochl was the son of a Cabinet officer who was reputed to be the wealthiest man in Japan.

There Is something always eminently rich and lady-like In the appearance of lustrous corded silk, be the color black, gray, fawn, moss green, plum tints or cream white. This winter these repped silks are pre-eminently fashionable, together with many other materials woven in similar corded effects. The circular, kilted and priucesse outlines which fashion now favors are particularly adapted to these rich materials.

Many of the demi-truined dress skirts are cut with nine gores and at the back some are box-plalted and others fan-plaited. A great number of the new coats are made decidedly longer than any worn last season. Very tall, slender women may congratulate themselves on the change. The plaited round waist and the full Russian blouse waist contest for favor with the numberless cblc little coat basques, very short, very smart and very much trimmed. Handkerchief Lore.

"This Is the way we Iron our clothes so early on Tuesday morning!" so sing the children in one of the old mimicking games banded down from one generation to another.

Not much that Is really new can be said about dancing slippers.
