When hatching time comes for the

After exhausting the dry proposition of

have the" idea that the culture of the silk
-worm Is confined to Southern France and
Japan, which Is true In a general sense,
but California manages to do well in this,
as in so many other particulars.
"Do you grow the typical mulberry
-plantations for the support of the worm?"
"Yes, but not on a, very large scale as

;'In this connection also, another of Cali
fornia's experiments which may lead to
important results not long hence Is Worth
mentioning. We have found a species of
silk worm Which feeds direct upon the
oak leaves. The fiber of their cocoon Is
not quite so' fine as that from the mulberry-fed
worm, but it will make an ex-'
eellent cloth, if secured in largVenaugh

upon the oak Is almost limitless. If
once' the worm multiplies. The growing
of cocoons U almost wholly a side issue
In California, pursued by the women who
can take cars of a surprisingly Urge
number of the worms. If it proves that
the worms will flourish upon- the oak
leaves, the fact will mean a new com
modity to the market that will add an ap
preciable Item to the already long list

Springfield, 111., June 11 The Demo
cratic State Committee after midnight
adopted the report of the' subcommittee on
.Contests. Hearst delegates were unseated
to the number of over 200. In Cook Coun
ty forty-nine delegates alleged to be for
'Hearst, but said by certain persons to be
strongly against him, were seated In place
of that- number. of adherents of Mayor
Harrison.
The Lecrone delegation In Effingham
was seated. From Franklin the anti
Hearst, delegation got seat. The same Is
true in Henry, Jackson. Jefferson, Knox,
Lasalle, Lie, Marlon, Peoria and Ver
milion. In Peorli the committee increased the
representation of the county from twent
'four to forty-seven, making it solidly anti
Hearst 'The Rapp delegation was seated
In 'Wayne, and the Crolius delegation In
"Win,- both anti-Hearst. There was no.
contest reported in Randolph.
Indications at midnight point to a turbu

a riot is predicted. The State Committee
met at the St Nicholas vto-nlght-

of Chicago, and Wilson Behrlng of De

from counties.' ' This subcommittee has
not yet completed its business.' Many un

Mayor Harrison has Joined the Hearst
forces to defeat the State Committee slate.
He says he was offered a place as dele-t

with Hopkins, Cable and Williams, but
refused 1L '
The tension is high, and serious trouble
is expected In the convention to-morrow.
The anti-Hopkins faction has agreed on
a programme, but refuses to discuss It
The action of the State Committee in
unseating the Hearst and Harrison dele-,
gates will undoubtedly give the Hopkins
faction control of all the committees and
probably of tho convention.
Predictions are mado that physical force
will ptay a, part in tho organization of
.the convention. It Is reported that the
Hopkins taction has obtained tho services
ot a hundred sturdy men for sergeanta-at-arms,
who have been told what to do in

Parishioners of St. Anthony's Church,
In charge of the Franciscan Fathers at
Merameo street and Compton avenue,
learned yesterday Of ah aitempt to btoW
up the edifice known as the Monks'
Church.
Some .time ago an .unidentified culprit
placed dynamite under the "building, and
the. only thin which saved the edifice
from destruction was the inability of the
hay brother to light the candle at the
.altar of' St. Anthony. This altar Is a
portable affair and is located in a niche
in the east wall of the building, and ad
Joins the monastery where the monks re
side. The candles are only lighted on Tues
days, when special devotions -lid honor of
the saint are. held. On the 'particular oc
casion" when the' expiekfve was discovered
the lay brother haof lighted all of the
candles but one. He made several uaiac
cessful attempts to Ignite theiwlckwith
the taper he held In his band, and; then
thinking that perhaps it, waatoo ahert,
he took the candle from its socket tn the
candlestick to Investigate, but founa the
wick to be irt-go6a,,'irder. ,
He lit the candle while holding It to bis
hand, and then replaced It in toe soestet,
but he had no more than done so when H
'went out. Again he tried to. light it. but
without success. Somewhat aggravated,
he removed both candle and holder, and
then discovered. a fuse fastened .to the rear
of the candlestick, which waa'attached to

condition of the church at the time;
would not only have destroyed the build
ing, but would also have caused a great
loss of life.

The. layhrother removed the fuse and

The incident baa been kept a' secret. tor
some time, but It became noised about
the parish when preparations wet being
made for the feast yesterday.
When seen yesterday the Reverend
Father Rabanus, O. F. M. assistant pas
tor of the church, was loath to speak
on the subject, since he did not wish the
incident to gain undue notoriety. He
said, however, that it is a fact that the
candle could not be lighted i by the lay
brother, and that when he made an in
vestigation he did find a fuse attached
to the candle at one end aid tc a stick
of dynamite at the other.
At the solemn high mass yesterday,

Mrs. Folk is before all else a good, housekeeper and hometnlker. and has

ureater Knowledge of .
Exposition.
New developments relative to the sub
ject of exploitation 'of' the Exposition, re
cently Broached by Secretary of the Treas
ury Shaw, show that the National Com
.mlsslon, probably at the suggestion of
Secretary Shaw, Is taking an .active In
terest to the matter.
Former Senator Thomas H. Carter,
President of the National Commission, ar
rived In the city yesterday morning and
was in conference with President Francis
part of the day, and with Congressman
James A. Tawney of Minnesota and Ex
position officials.
The subject of greater exploitation ot
the World's Fair will be considered' at
this afternoon's meeting ot the Executive
Committee of the Exposition, and it is ex
pected will prove the absorbing topic of
the meeting.
President Carter yesterday dictated the
following statement to The Republic rela
tive to the attitude of the National Com
mission toward Exposition exploitation:
"Informal conferences are In progress
in which members of the commission are
participating,, with members of the Ex
position Company. It Is very clear that
adequate conception of the large propor
tion of this Exposition has not been' con
veyed to the. people of the country at
large. Again, the Impression has gone
forth, that the Exposition is, and will
continue to be, incomplete for some time
to come. f
"The St. Louis papers give very full
and interesting accounts ot the Exposi
tion, and contain valuable descriptive
matter from day to day, but -It must, fee
borne in .mind that beyond the city the
dally press "does not give the' atention to
the' Reposition which jits vast proportions,
seem to' warrant. .
"There are hundreds and thousands ot
objects of absorbing Interest-' collected
here, which the people, of thecountry at'
larstt'are'notadvised Ot at all To'rtn.
edy this 'unfortunate staie of affairs is a
-matter, of prime limporuujce.to, be dealt

Bubbling with characteristic wit. a let
ter written by Samuel L. Clemens, (Mark
Twain) addressed to President Francis
arrived in yesterday morning's mall at the
World's Fair grounds;
The missive is dated Hay K, prior to
the death of Mrs. Clemens. It came aa an
answer to an invitation sent by President
Francis, in which Mr. Clemens was cor
dially' Invited to' attend, the Fair and to
share In the,-glory of bis native Bute.
Naturally, the letter ot President Fran
cis suggested a funny theme to write
upon, and despite the fact that 'Mark
Twain was attending a sick wife at the,
time not once did be refer to his trouble;
The letter to President Franda follows:
