Frow Jur RetcularCorrcapondcrjt. Washington, July 30, 1900. Chairman Richardson, of the Democratic Congressional Cam paign Committee, returned to the Washington headquarters this week from a trip to New York, and is now engaged upon the speech he will make as Chairman of the Com mittee to notify Col. Bryan of his nomination, at Indianapolis, Aug. 8. Mr. Richardson reports the cam paign in New York to be entirely satisfactory to the Democrats, but says he will not go so far at this time as to claim more than a fight ing chance for the electoral votes of the State. Information sent to Dem ocratic headquarters from the middle west is decidedly cheering. Instead of claiming Illinois and Indiana to be doubtful states, there is now a disposition to put them in the certain Democratic column, and many believe that the desertion of the Republican party by German voters who cannot stand imperialism will also give Wisconsin to the Democrats. Illinois has 24 electoral votes, Indiana 15, and Wisconsin 12, all of which McKinley received in '96. Democrats around head quarters are not really claiming as much as the news received would justify them in doing, because they do uot wish to create the impression that they are chasing rainbows. Everyday the probabilities increase that the next House will be Demo-, cratic and that Bryan ind Steven son will be elected, if the Democrats throughout the country keep up their present aggressive attitude. The statement previously made in this paper, that the Senate Com- j niittee ordered to investigate receipts and expenditures of money in Cuba would not begin work in time to make a report before the election, has been practically confirmed by Senator J Piatt, ol Conn., Chairman of the Committee. Directly after Congress adjourned Mr. Tlatt said he would call the Committee to gether as soon as a detailed state ment of expenditures and receipts, which the War and Postoffice De partments had been asked to prepare as a basis for the Committee's work, was ready. Now, he says that the War and Postoffice Departments are conducting investigations and that he will not call the Committee together until they have finished and furnished him copies of the result. This is all twaddle. Mr. Piatt knows that the party bosses have ordered the Senatorial investi gation held up until there will be no danger of its affecting the elec tion and that everybody else knows it, too. Although carefully edited by Postmaster General Smith before it was made public, the report of Fourth Assistant Postmaster Gen eral Bnstow on the stealings of Neely and Rathbone, and their gang and other crookedness connected with the Cuban postal service shows that a disgraceful state of affairs existed in Cuba, in which rascally Republican officials showed the Cubans that they could undo the Spanish officials in stealing and extravagant expenditure of public money. Still, there are persons who express surprise because Cubans do not recognize Americans to be superior to them. Representatives McCall, of Mass.; ana LUtleheld, of Me., both of whom voted against their party on the Porto Ri:an tariff bill, are to be sent into the middle west to stump, their districts being overwhelmingly Republican, in order to try to keep the large number of Republicans in that section who thought as they did about the Porto Rico tariff in lme for McKinley. Senator Jones, Chairman of the Democratic National Committee, stopped in Washington on his way to New York to hold a conference with a number of prominent Demo crats on the conduct of the cam paign, which is to be at once start ed and pushed aggressively until election day. He is full of enthus iasm over the outlook, which he says is far brighter than it was at this time four years ago. A message from Minister Conger, dated July 4, has been received at the State Department, saying that Pekin was in a state of anarchy and that the foreigners who were all cooped up in the British legation and under constant fire, were bound to be killed if help was not at once had. This message seems to cor roborate the opinion of those who think that the administration has allowed itself to be completely hood winked by the Chiuese minister in Washington. Mr. McKinley has been negotiating with the govern ment of China and promising to act as a mediator in its behalf, when according to Mr. Conger's dis patches, there is no government of China, the Capitol being in a state of anarchy, borne go so far as to express the opinion that the Chinese Minister at Washington, who still insists that the foreign ministers at Pekin are safe, has never received a line from Pekin since the trouble began.

Ban the lhe Vou Haw Always Bought IFALTIIY SWEET, Harvest Trousers, OVERALLS Townsend's A Significant Invention. Two young Chicago inventors are arranging to give a public exhibition of a device for communicating with beseiged towns in war times by means of telephones carried in box kites. An experiment in telephoning to inaccess ible points by dropping a telephone from a box kite was conducted last week and proved successful. The working of the box kite method is as follows : A reel sontaining a cord for the kite is set on the ground, and the kite is sent up. The kites used by the experimenters are box kites, each 18 feet long, two feet wide and 1 ft high. Attached to the kite line, 100 feet be low the kite, is a pulley, through which runs a light-weight double-conductor flexible wire of aluminum. Attached to the end of the wire, swinging free from the pulley is a telephone, . and another telephone is ready for oper ation where the kite flyers have their position. The kite is sent up until directly over the point with which communication is desired. Then the telephone swinging below the kite is lowered by playing out the circuit wire and letting it slip through the pulley, drawn by the weight of the instrument until the people beneath secure possession of it and are put in communication with the kite-flyers.
