The clock on the Philadelphia city
hall is the highest in the world. It
has the largest dials. If the dials
were out of the way and tracks were
laid, two trains could pass each other
running through the holes. The
in the four faces is fastened there by'
a ton of cement. The glass, if laid on
the ground, would make a walk a
square long and ten feet wide. The
minute hand will lini-h each
journey by completing a 110 mile
tripe. It is expected that this minute
hand will travel 110 miles annually
for many years to come. The dock is
strong, and the minute hand is phos¬
phor bronze and weighs 250 pounds.

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.
Freni fur own C< rresi ondenl:
Washington, I). C.. Feb 24, ’00
The Democrat National Conven¬
tion will meet at Kansas City on
July 4, about two weeks after the
Republican Convention at Lhifadei
piiia. Probably the silver Republi¬
cans .and nnti-impeiialist will meet
on the same date find it, is at least
possible that the date of the Populist
convention may he changed to agree
with it. This decision of the Dem¬
ocrat national committee hero yester¬
day was a euprise in more ways than
one. It was supposed that the con¬
vention would be held early— per¬
haps even ear'ier than the Populi-t
convention—and that it would go to
Milwaukee for the effect that* would
be likely to have on the German
vote. It turned out. however, that
Milwaukee, which had been lionsting
V having a check for $100,000 to
y the expenses of the convention,
J bitle money, kAmfr no dial Win condition
a ceo
while Kansas City }i-
1 ifDO,000 in cash and demon
strnied that it was fully f ble to man
age any crowd that might come,
The date of the convention was fixed
in accordance with precedent, it
having for years 1 Gen th > ustom for
the party in power to meet first,
Unless the convention were to ho
held before May 9, v hen the Populist
meet, was there ro reason why it
should , , , ante-date , the , ,, Republicans, , .
and reallv wanted , it . to gather ,
no one
before the snow was fairly off tho
a ground, ’ as it would have to do if it
raced with the Populist. 1 Then, too,
the history J of early J conventions does
not encourage their n-pelition. The
mistakes of the Republicans are nil
merous and increasing day by day,
and a convention held - in July will
have more to critzaso than one held
in June.
Tiie most marked incident of the
committee meeting, aside from the
settlement of the date and place
for holding the ' convention, was
Senator Gorman s speech. 1 ho

inundation. If the san e circumstances
prevailed today he would strongly
advocate an early convention.
But the men who conducted the last,
campaign were still in the lead w ith
the experience of I he campaign and
the advantage of four years time in
wh oh to familiarize themselves with
the situation, therefore lie thought
■<n.l/ was early enough. Leaving the
quosii. n of dates, Mr. Gorman touch
od gently and fully on the plat-form
and the necessity for harmony, lie
di. not ask, he said, any man to
abandon Ins principles. lie did not
a v it 1 Hot any id the great principles
enunciated in the Chicago platform
he abandoned, lint the Democratic
pari} ia large and its principles are
broad. There was no necessity of
►making any one issue paramount in
Din next campaign. The party teas
one for the principles o! liberty as
opposed to imperialism and despot¬
ism, and he believed that when the
American people became more fa¬
miliar with the subject they would
take the Democratic view. It would
he necessary for the party to educate
the peaple on this subject. Mr. Gor¬
man’s oratory was most effective,
sfiowi.ig that that astute political
leader is again in the councils of tho
party.

IU Sbt he invited the members of the
F°use Merchant Marine Committee
and th 9 Senate Commerce Committee
to dinner at his house.Thegatbering
did not break up until nearly one
o’clock in the morning, by which
time many of the obstacles to the
bills had hem cleared away,
Mr. Hanna informed his guests it

that , a bill . should . ... be passed , at , this .
session and , that ho there to

which could command tho support
of the members in the committee and
in the House. The fact that the Re¬
publicans will have difficulty in de
holding on the stump next fall a
Bl)i l> subsidy bill of any character
was recogniz.-d, especially in the
case of the members from the middle
western states, where there are no
shipping 1 ' * interests. Consequently 1 J their
wishes were to bo complied 1 with to
the extent of producing 0 a bill which
they J could defend, aid which the
tiassage 1 < f would not mean their
| retirement from Congress. The dirti
'
i cultv of doing this and vet giving ttio
j ship owners sufficient booty was
acknowledged and concessions were
offered on both sides. Tho hill drawn
to suit the wishes of the minorty Re¬
I publicans on the Merchant Marine

1 possible that most of its provisions
j he accepted. Consequently
1 mav a
