TXLXOIUUI TO TBS DISPATCH. 1 Nrw York, Aug. a Judge IX. Cady Herrick, of Albany, and ex-Mayor Wm. B. Grace were visitors at Democratio head quarters to-day. It was Judge Herrick's first appearance at Mr. Harrity's bureau since bis visit to Senator Hill at Normandie-by-the-Sea. The day before Senator Hill started on his yachting cruise there has been much specula tion about that visit. Judge Herrick has been rated as the most ardent admirer of Mr. Cleveland in the upper Hudson coun try. For half a dozen years in Albany county he has waged relentless war on Gov ernor Hill and bis friends. In view of this everybody wanted to know the result of the Judge's visit to Mr. Hill. Mr. Herrick was as silent about it as the silent tomb. Mr. Grace was very much nettled at a re port that he bad promised Mr. Cleveland, through William & "Whitney, that be would not be instrumental in nominating a candidate for Mayor this fall in opposition to the candidate of Tammany Hall. Mr. Grace said there was not a word of truth in the story." I never made any such promise to Mr. Cleveland or anybody else," he said. "The story is absolutely false." Sir. Grace Is SInch Disturbed. Mr. Grace, Emery Anderson, ex-Secretary Fairchildandthe young Anti-Snappers in their train are disturbed at the promi nence which Mr. "Whitney assumed at the Chicago Convention and has enjoyed since that eventful occasion. Mr. Grace and his lieutenants, at great expense, got up the Syracuse Convention professedly in Mr. Cleveland's interests, but when Mr. Grace, Mr. Anderson and Mr. Fairchild reached Chicago they found Mr. "Whitney in charge of Mr. Cleveland's fortunes. "Whitney vigorously told the Anti-Snappers to take a back seat and under no cir cumstances to demand recognition as a con torting delegation. As a matter of fact, Mr. "Whitney walked all over them. Mr. Cleveland's Anti-SnapDer friends, who bad raised a fund of 5200,000 to fight the regu lar Democratic organization, were natur ally angered. They have been sore ever since. They believe that they should be recognized. That is, some of them do. By Mr. Grace's direction the provisional State Committee of the Anti-Snappers has been kept together, with the power given to Chairman Fairchild to assemble the body at any time. The delegates from the cross road towns, the men who were sent to the Syracuse Convention without the semblance of a caucus or a primary, are still recognized. Mr, Grace's machine in New York and Kings counties is also still on the track. Anything to Beat Tammany. Even with Mr. Cleveland in nomination their cry still is "Anything to beat Tam many Hall" and a good many of them add "And Murphy and Sheahan." Mr. Whitney, as Mr. Cleveland's chief commander, is naturally worried over the situation and he was very much more worried to-day when he learned that Mr. Grace would prac tically do as he pleased with his Anti Snapper machine and wonld nominate can didates for municipal offices in all great counties it he wanted to. Mr. Grace will leave town on Monday next for a two weeks' vacation in the Adirondack. He has had several talks with Chairman Harrlty and jur. wnitney in tne last week. Mr. Grace, it is said, was not particu larly amiable in these conversations and informed these gentlemen that he intended perfecting the Anti-Snapper organization, and that already 20 out ot the 30 Assembly districts in ..this county had organ izations representing his views and wishes. This organization, it is stated by Mr. Grace's friends, is made up of the remnants of the county Democracy and a substantial German following. There is some doubt about the German. Mr. Grace and his friends believe that by September 15 they will have organizations in all the Assembly districts. Mr. Grace" is of the opinion that it may not be advisable to nominate a third candi date for Mayor, but that is to be determined later on and without further consultation with Mr. Harrity or Mr. Whitney. The main object apparently of Mr. Grace's fig urine is to capture 10 or 12 Assemblymen in New York county, a job of some" size. The next Legislature elects a United States Senator in place of Prank Hiscock. Republicans Meet at Their Quartern. At Republican headquarters, 518 Fifth avenue, to-day, the safe doors of the two handsomely decorated receptacles for cash swung to and fro. Hamilton Disston, of Philadelphia, was on hand, and with him was Collector Cooper, ot the same Quaker town. Uncle Philetus Sawyer, the 80-vear- old statesman of the Republican partv, one of the richest men in it, was there also. Chairman Hackett, of the New York Be publican State Campaign Committee, was another caller. He chatted with Mr. Carter for three minutes, and imme diately the few members of the' Repub lican Club and Union League Club in town were convinced that something was up. They were positive of thij when they learned that the Hon. Whitelaw Reid, the candidate for Vice President, had joined Mr. Carter and Mr. Hackett. The oft-repeated story to the effect that President Harrison will stop in New York later in the month on his war from Loon Lake to Washington was heard again. The old pro gramme was that the President was to stop over an afternoon and evening at the Fifth Avenue Hotel and informally receive his friends. Bets were even on his doing it If the President stops over in New York he will be here on September 1. KOLB LEFT BEYOND DOUBT. Only Revolution Can Change the Betalt of the Alabama Election. ' Montgomeby, Ala., Aug. a The offi cial returns from 58 of 66 counties give Governor Jones 9,386 majority. There are eight counties from which official returns have not been received, the majorities in which are pretty accurately known. Four of these counties' give majorities for Gov ernor Jones amounting to 2,361. This leaves Governor Jones with a clear major ity of 11,244. "The Constitution of the State provides that a contest for the Governorship must be made before the Legislature. This cannot be instituted until the meeting of the Leg islature and alter the declaration of the re sult. Any talk, therefore, of throwing the I matter Into the Courts and of Mr. Kolb i getting the position thereby, it not j UHBU UU UUV MR M1U uvitu uuir u.y accomplished uy revolution, xoere is no danger and no indication of the Utter, as the people show bo disposition to engage in desperate measures. The analysis of rote shows that a large majority of white Demo crats and a majority of all the white Toters and a great many negroes voted for Jones. There is some talk or Mr. Kolb being a can didate for Congress against Colonel Oates. NEW HEADQUARTERS OPENED. Statu Chairman of the Republican Com mittee Takes Possession of the Booms Vet? Quietly Clerks and Offlolals Settle Down to Bard Campaign Work. Philadelphia, Pa., Aug. a Special General Beeder, wearing a beaming smil5 but no coat, sat at bis desk in the Republican Slate Headquarters, at 1231 Walnut street, all day. The desk was littered with Correspondence and various documents that had a very businesslike look, but the State Chairman found time to greet his callers in his usual cheery manner. In the adjoining room Secretary in Chief, Frank Willing Leaob, was hard at work, Colonel John A. Glenn superin tended the disposition of efiects in the cosy apartments at the head of the stairs, while Secretary Bex in the lower floor surveyed the new headquarters with undisguised pleasure. In the third story of the building the click of typewriters, operated by a couple of clerks, was heard throughout the day. The opening of the new headquarters, al though it marked a new departure in the conduct of Republican State campaigns, was not attended with any formality. For years the Bepublican battle has been di rected from the .historic suite of apartments at the Continental Hotel, bat when General Beeder was called to command this year he decided to put into effect his favorite scheme of having headquarters separate from the necessary and inevitable interrup tions of business in a hotel. General Beeder said the headquarters would be open from 9 o'clock in the morn ing till late at night from now until No vember. As to the hard work that would be entailed, the Chairman laughed and said he was used to hard work and thrived on it. Besides, that was what he had been made Chairman lor, at any rate. In reply to a question as to his plan of operations the State Chairman said it was impossible to give any definite idea upon that point. There were but few visitors at the head quarters during the day, the fact of the opening not being generally known. PEBPETUATDIO PATRIOTISM. The national Encampment Sons of Vet erans Meets In Montana. Helena, Mont., Aug. 9. The session of the National Encampment Sons of Vet erans to-day was devoted entirelv to read ing the reports of officers, which were properly referred. Commander in Chief Wells, in his report, recommends that hereafter the sessions of the encampment be triennial instead of annual, and extending the term of officers. Referring to the growth oi the order the report says: The early data of holding this encamp ment renders it Impossible to make any comparison other than upon membership for tlio quarter, ending September 80, 1891, Docember 31, 1391, and Huron 31. 1892. Al though there were reported 61,728 members In good standing, and 10,861 members sus pended at the close or June 6, 1891, the qnarterly report received by this adminis tration within one year after as suming command showed only 50,873 members in uood standing, with 11,783 members suspended. The report for the quitter ending December 31, 1890, showed 63,519 members in good standing and 6,750 members suspended, while the report fnr the corresponding quarter In 1891 snows 55, 807 members n good standing and 7,350 mem ber suspended. It is especially noticeable that larger divisions are, a a rnle, the ones that show least improvement; in fact, many of them slion a loss. To-morrow is. the day'set for the grand parade, with a campfire in the evening. But little business will be transacted. MADE SH0BT W0BK 0? IT. Tennessee Democrats Nominate a Governor With but One Ballot. Nashville, Tenn., Aug a The State Democratic Convention met at noon, about 1,000 delegates being present. It was more aTatification meeting than a convention, only one candidate, Chief Justice Peter Terney, being before it E. L. Bullock was Temporary Chairman and made an address. After the appointment of committees and speeches by Senator Harris; Congressman Patterson and ex-Governor Taylor the con vention adjourned until 3:30. During the afternoon session speeches were made by Senator Bate, Congressman Washington and others while waiting for the Platform Committee. Judge Terney wasplaced in nomination and upon roll call by counties received all the votes cast except 37. He was brought into the hall and made a brief speech ot acceptance. A new Executive Committee was appointed and the convention adjourned at 6 p. M., having held the shortest session known to gubernatorial conventions. HAHN TO HELP THE CHIEFS. He Is Called to NeV Tork to Work With the Campaign Managers. Columbus, O., Aug. a tpeciaL W. H. Hahn, Ohio member of the Bepublican National Committee and former Chairman of the Ohio Executive Committee, left for New York at midnight to-night on the re quest of Chairman Carter and other man agers of President Harrison's campaign. While Mr. Hahn would not indicate the nature of his business it is learned from outside sources ,thai his services as one of the managers are in demand, and he has been requested to remain in New Tork un til the close of the campaign. It is understood to be at the request of Senator Sherman and President Harrison that Mr. Hahn is to be given an important department to manage during the cam paign. While Mr. Hahn has met with fairlv good success in the management of a couple of Ohio campaigns with an over whelming Bepublican majority to workon, it is not believed that he is conversant with the methods and management which will aid materially in a national contest. KOLB IS STILL KICKING. He Writes a Letter Claiming; That Ha Has Been Elected. . Montgomery, Ala., Aug. 9. Ex-Com-missioner Kolb,Mate Alliance candidate for Governor, is out in a published letter this morning disputing the claims of Jones' elec tion. The letter concludes: ""I have been fairly and honestly elected by over 40,000 majority, and the people of jny native State recognize the fact, and will see that justice -Is accorded by placing mo at the head or our State Government for the next two years. (Signed.) B. F. Kolb. The letter creates a sensation and is re garded as an evidence of Kolb's intention to challange the "official count, which is nearly completed and fixes Jones' majority at be tween 9,000 and 12,000.

Etrong Protection Candidates in Each Con gressional District THE DEMOCRATS IN THE STATE DIVIDED SriCIAL TXLXOKAX TO TBI DtSrATCH.t Topeka, Kan., Aug. 9. Notwithstand ing the combined opposition has 40,000 majority in this State, the Republicans appear at this time to have' decidedly the best of it. The recalcitrant Democrats have been asserting their independence in a way which "will count and from present indica tions every district in the State except the fourth will have four candidates for Con gress, In their nominations the Republic ans have been very fortunate and have selected without exception the best campaigners in the district. unester nong, wno has been making it interesting lorJerry Simpson in the Seventh district, comes from the same town as the sockless statesman and has the advantage ot knowing thoroughly his methods. He has attacked Jerry on his Congressional record and during the letter's absence has so man aged his fight that it will be impossible for him to make the same kind of a campaign which resulted in his election two vears ago. The Democrats in the Seventh district do not like Simpson and the part he has taken in the Watson investigation has made him all the more unpopular. When the Demo cratic Congressional Convention meets, the opposition to Simpson will bolt if he is in dorsed and nominate a candidate of their own. In the Congressional district which adjoins the Third Governor Humphrey, the Bepublican nominee for Congress, is con ducting an , aggressive campaign. He has the strongest competitor of any of the Be publican nominees but he has'.entered the fight to win. Work of a Brilliant Ora'or. J. B. Burton, the nominee in the Fifth district, is the most brilliant orator in the State. He is doing more work than was ever undertaken before by a candidate for Congress. For the past six weeks he has averaged two speeches per day, and pro poses to keep up the fight until election day. John Davis, the present Alliance Congress man, Is very unpopular with the Democrats, and, although a Democratio candidate has been nominated, Burton will get thousands of Democratio votes, because it is the only way to defeat Davis. Charles Curtis, the Bepublican nominee in the Fourth district, is a man of the peo ple. His mother was a half-breed Indian and his father was a horse trader. Every man, woman and child 'in Topeka knows him and is proud of him, and irrespective of party tne men win nave to vote lor him. H. L. Pestana, who will make the race against Baker, the Alliance Congressman, in the Sixth district, is a lawyer of ability, who never figured In politics until this year. Ha has a State reputation and is an able de bater. The Third, Fourth, Fifth, Sixth and Seventh were the Congressional districts carried by the Alliance two years ago, and bits have been offered that the Bepublicans will carry three of the five. In the First and Second districts, now represented- by Bepublicans, the re-election of Funston and Broderick is practically conceded. The Republicans Bonnd to Win. . There is much to challenge admiration in the manner in which the Bepublican party has picked itself up and entered this cam paign. It no longer expects assistance from the Democrats on either the electoral or State ticket,nnless it comes through further blunders of the Populist leaders. The lead ers have slmplv bent every energy to perfect such an organization as can be absolutely controlled. "With a disorganized opposition it expects to cut both ways and win through the mistakes made. The suspicion with which the Populists regard the Democratio leaders Is fed from Bepublican sources and unless the Bepublican Central Committee is disappointed, this distrust will- result in thousands of Bepublican farmers scratching the electoral ticket. The railroad vote, which went solidly to the People's party two years ago, is now actively working with the Rennh1lf.ana There are 28,000 railroad votes in the State and the Republicans count on ,20,000 of them. In the same way the Third party Prohibition vote, which went to the Peo pie's party two years ago, will this year vote the Third nartv Prohibition tinkef. The Prohibitionists have been sorely dis appointed with the People's party. They expected the farmers to adopt the Ism and make it a feature of the campaign,but every State and Congressional Convention has ignored It. The Third party Prohibitionists are equally disgusted with the Bepublican party and propose to make a vigorous inde pendent campaign. Ex-Governor St John has a personal grievance against Smith, the Bepublican candidate for Governor, but the speeches he proposes to make will assist rather than harm the Bepublican nominee. HEW JEBSEY PBOHIBIIIOHISTB. They Nominate-T. J. Krnnedr for Gov ernor'and Adopt the Usual Platform. Trenton, N. J., Aug. 9. The Prohibi tion Convention completed its work this afternoon by nominating Thomas J. Ken nedy, of Hudson, for Governor. The plat form reaffirms that adopted by the National Convention; recognizes the rum traffic as, a curse to the homes and corruption to poli tics; declares anew against the sale or manufacture of all liquors; denounces the license system and invites the co-operation ot capital and labor to suppress the system. It also denounced the State Excise Com mission protests against horse racing and pool selling; favors the convening of the Legislature but once in two years and de nounces the printing of the laws in news papers as a waste. As first read the plat lorm contained a clause favoring referring all laws passed by the Legislature to the people for acceptance or rejection, but this was striken out after considerable discus sion. TENNESSEE ALLIANCE TBADEES. They Make an Effort to Control the Legis lature by a Combine. Nashville, Tenn, Aug. a A state ment was made at Knoxville, Tenn., this morqing which mar have apme political significance. It is that efforts are to be made to have the Alliance support Win stead, the Bepublican candidate for Gov ernor. In return the Bepublicans will support Alliance candidates for the Legislature. Thus an effort will be made to control that body, and if successful Buchanan is to be elected to the United States Senate. 7JSK0CBATS CALLED OUT. The State Executive Committee to Meet on the 16th to Fix the Assembly Date. Habbisburg, Pa., Aug. 9. President Chauncey F. Black, through Secretary John D.

HM f Republicans Commence Their Canvass With Rousing DemonstrationNo Re liance to .Be PJaced.Upon Democratio Claim of German Xwtheran Support. Pekin, III., Aug". 9. The Republican campaign 'for the State of Illinois was opened here to-day with a big demonstra tion. The weather was intensely, warm and this had the effect; of slightly limiting the attendance. The meeting in the Court House square was called to order by ex-Congressman D. C. Smith, of Pekln, who was President of the day. In a short address he introduced Governor Fifer, the orator ot the afternoon. The Executive discussed the political situation and pre faced his remarks by a laudation of the Re publican party, and said: "It has carved out and made the America of to-day. It has again come up for trial before the judg-, ment bar of the great American people." He thought the people would decide to continue the long established industrial policr, and that Illinois would be found in tne itepuDiicau coiuiuu in jMovemDer. no spoke of Judge Atgeld's claim that he would be elected by 70,000 majority and said: "In this claim he is doubtless ue , venitD oa the Republican German Luther. I Bns, How flattering it must be to the aggressive, intelligent and liberty-lov ing Germans of Illinois to have it supposed that they are the creature of any party Or of any individual. Some people suppose that the German vote can be In fluenced by an appeal to passion and preju dice. I have never been one of those who believe so and I meet them to-dav on the 'high plane of American citizenship and ap peal to their intelligence, to their love of liberty and fair pJay." .Governor Fifer discussed other State is sues, the taxes and the tariff. He con cluded with remarks eulogistic of the Be publican national ticket. He was frequently interrupted with applause, and at the con clusion of his address Lieutenant Governor Bay, candidate for re-election; 1 N. Pier son, candidate for Secretary of State; Henrv L. Hortz. candidate for Treasurer: George L. Willetts and Bichard Yates, can;j aiaaies ior uoogressmen at xargef were each introduced and made short addresses. A second meeting was held in the evening.

Republicans Snbmlt Their Caae, and ths Sapreme Conrt Is Considering It. Madison, Wis., Aug. a Attorney Gen eral O'Connor appeared before the Supreme Court to-day and announced that he had not had time to consider whether or not to bring an action against the Secretarv of State to test the constitutionality of" the apportionment act passed by the Legisla ture in special session, as requested by the Republicans. In reply to an inquiry of the Court, he said he could give a decision in about ten days. The attorney lor the Bepublicans then asked permission to" bring suit without any action in the matter by the Attorney General, and the Court has taken the mat ter under advisement. TROUBLES bOA'YASSA. fears That Ill-Treated Employes May BIse and Massacre the Officers of a Guano Company The Kearsarge Ordered There to Investigate Affairs. NeytYorK, Aug. a SpectdL It the sloop-of-war Kearsage had waited until Monday morning, instead of .sailing on Sun day for Honduras, Captain Crowinshieid would have received instructions from Washington that he should ."stop at the guano island of Navassa, an insignificant island in itself, in the Caribbean Sea, but which has become notorious because of the many troubles there between) the American Company, of Baltimore, arid its employes on the island. But Captain Crowinshieid will receive the orders directing him to stop at Navassa when he arrives at Key West on Saturday or Sunday. His instructions will be to go to Navassa .to investigate the complaint from the Gov ernment of Austria-Hungary that the guano company is guilty of gross ill-treatment ot some of its subjects there. When the Kearsarge arrives at Navassa it may be discovered that there has been another up rising and massacre such as occurred in 1889, when six of the officers of the com pany were killed. The Kearsarge was hjirriedly sent over to Navassa by Bear Admiral Gherardl in April, 1891, when the employes w ent on a strike and threatened murderous disorders similar to those of 1889 and April 29. The trouble last year was caused by abuse and ill treatment perpetrated 'by, the company upon Frederick Carter, jfor refus ing to obey the orders and. instructions of the company after the expiration of his con tract, and when he asked to be sent home. Many of the workmen claimed to have been "shanghaied" to the island by brokers, and an investigation resulted in a censure of the company. The impression of some of the old officers of the Kearsage, who are now at the navy yard, is that the employes are badly treated at Navassa. . TIMID CALIFOBNIA OPFICEKS Allow the Callls Train Bobbsrs to Slip Through Their Nerrom Fingers. Vis alia, Cal., Aug. 9. Evans and Sontag, who are supposed to be the train robbers who stopped the Los Angeles ex press near Fresno last week, are apparently as lar from capture as ever. Nothing further has been heard from the party who claimed to have the robbers surrounded in the foothills near Beedly yesterday morn ing. There was much excitement here last night owing to a report that Evans and Sontag had returned to Evans' home, near town, and were concealed in a. barn there. Sheriff Kay and a hundred armed men sur rounded the barn, but would not approach tbe building. Alter waiting in the vicinity for nearly two hours the Sheriff aroused Evans' wife and she accompanied him to the barn, where a thorough search failed to reveal any trace ot the robbers.

The Sultan's troops, after marching in three divisions to-day to attack the rebels, returned to tjie.cam outside Tangier without having engaged in juar fighting. , The European residents' here are much alarmed at the dangerous condition of affairs, and urgently demand that warships be sent to protect them.

He Defines His Position on the Free Coinage Question. A DOLLAR OP THE WHITE METAL Hunt Be l"Qual m Actual Yalue to the One Hade ofrflol'd. THE OUTLINES OF HIS PRESENT P0LIOI Washington, D. a, Aug. 9. Senator Carlisle has addressed a letter to John A, Lyne, of Henderson, Ky, in answer to bis question whether the Senator had hereto fore been in favor of the free coinage of sil ver, and whether his views on the Bubject had undergone any change. , Senator Carlisle says: '"The 'answer to your question depends largely upon what you mean by 'the free coinage of silver.' If you mean the policy urged by many under which the Government of the United Btates would be compelledby law toreceive"68 cents' worth of silver bullion when' presented by the owner and coin it at the 'expense of all the people of the country and compel the people by "law to receive the coin-as the equivalent of 100 cents, my answer is that I am not now and never have .been in favor of it. I stand now where my lamented predecessor, Mr." Beck, and I stood i together in 1878, when the so-called 'Bland-Allison bill' was passed by Congress, under which the Secretary of the Treasury was required to purchase and coin monthly not less than 52,000.000 nor more than 54,000,000 worth of silver bullion. "When the bill passed the House of Rep resentatives it provided for the free and un limited coinage of the silver dollar, but after it went to the Senate Mr. Beck offered an amendment which provided that the Sec retary of the Treasury should purchase at the market price each month not less than 53,000.000 worth of silver bullion, or as Lmuch more as could be coined at the mint, tne seniorage to be paia in tne Treasury, and whenever the bullion could not be pur chased at less than par with legal tender notes any owner of silver bullion might de posit it for coinage on the same terms as gold was deposited." Recollections of His Farmer Ylews, Senator Carlisle here quotes at some length from speeches made by Senator Beck at the time of the passage of the "Bland Allison bill," to the effect that he (Mr. Beck) desired that the people of the United States should receive tho benefit of the 'difference, if any, between the actual and the coined value of the bullion. At the time, says Senator Carlisle, silver was only 8 or 10 per cent below gold, while it is now about 45 per cent below, and if it was not right and just to the people then to donate a seniorage of 8 or 10 per cent to the '.'combi nations of bullionists" it certainly cannot be right and just now to donate over four or five times that much. Mr. Carlisle then quotes from his speech in the House in '78 when the original Bland bill had been amended by the Senate. Part of the quotation reads: "My position on this subject is briefly this: I atu opposed to free coinage of either gold or silver, but in favor of unlimited coinage of both metals npon terms of exaot equality. No discrim ination should be made in 'favor of one as against the other; nor should any discrim ination be made in favor of the holders of either gold or silver bullion and against the great body of people who own other kinds of property. A great government should treat all its citizens aliKe, and whenever it attempts to do otherwise it will engender a spirit of discontent which sooner or later must disturb the harmony if not the peace ot society. Both Metals Should Be Alike. Senator Carlisle says: "This paragraph shows preoisely what my position then was and always has been upon this subject; I believe that gold and silver bullion should be treated exactly alike in the mints of the United States that is, a dollar's worth of gold should be jeoined into a gold dollar and a dollar's worth of silver should be coined into a silver dollar, and if no charge is made for the coining of one, then no charge should be made for the coinage of the other. In my opinion the declaration made upon this subject by the Democratic party at its recent national convention is perfectly sound In principle and enunciates the only true public policy." The Senator quotes the silver plank and then goes on to argue that its demands can not be met unless the metal in gold and sil ver coins is of equal value to the coin while still in bullion torm for coinage. In his view, adds nothing to the intrinsic value of the metal. He says - that although the United States has coined over 54,000,000 in silver since 1883, it has not increased the value of tbe bullion but on the contrary that value had decreased. The Senator asserts that neither gold nor silver coin, excepting subsidiary coins, will ever again enter very generally into use in any great commercial country, but they will serve only as a basis for the issue of the cur rency. Any measure that would broaden this basis would benefit the world generally, but this cannot be done by the fabrication of two coins of the same denomination but of unequal intrinsic value. This has been demonstrated by our experience during the last 14 years with silver as a legal tender, end we'are still on a gold'basis. The Way to Make Sliver Real Money. The Senator says there are only two ways in which the basis"of circulation can be broadened by the use of silver as part of the real money. First, by the coinage of the silver dollar containing a dollar s worth of silver; secondly, by an international agreement on the ratio. He admits that it would be unfair for the United States act ing alone, to make the present value of silver bullion the basis of adjustment, be cause the partial demonetization of silver by limiting this coinage has undoubtedly had considerable influence in depreciating its price and appreciating the price of gold. Free coinage of silver would bring the values nearer, and a true ratio for coinage would be found at some point between 16 to 1 and the present relative prices of silver and gold million. The Senator says it may be possible for one nation to fix a stable ratio and it so an international conference is the only tribunal that can extricate us from the present situa tion. In conclusion the Senator says he will support any measure that will tnlly remonetize silver and insure equality of the dollars coined from the two metals, and he sincerely hopes that the aoproaching con ference will be able to reach such an agree ment as will meet the approval of all gov ernments participating in it.

Hor.lble Find on Erie's Brash The Mutil ated Body of a Man Foard In a Grain Sack No Identifying Marks and Slight Hopes for a Clew. Dunktbk, N. Y., Aug. 9. Spedd. A grain sack containing the remains of a man drifted ashore about seven miles west of Dunkirk and two miles west of Yan Buren Monday, August & It was observed by Mr. Skinner, of Brockton, who was passing along the beach when he nntied the bag to asoertain the contents. He was both horrified and disgusted to find tbe remains of a human being in a badly decomposed state. v Dragging the bag, far enough upon tbe beach to be safe from tbe waves, he imme diately notified Dr. Dean, ot Brockton, Supervisor af the town of Portland. Dr. Dean telephoned Coroner Charles Blood, of Dunkirk, who at once visited the spot and examine1 the remains, which he found to be those of a man of apparently middle age, entirelynude, without any head and destitute of any distinguishing marks to aid identification. The large bones, especially those of the legs, were broken and sawed, as if for the purpose of being packed in the bag, and its contents had the appearance of having been floating some time in the water. The flesh was so badly decayed that Coroner Blood, after noting a description of the gruesome find, buried the remains upon the beach. While the story that belongs to this mys tery of Lake Erie may never be know, it is puamuic limb uiner oiews may oe Drougnt to iight that will aid in making known the facts of the case which now looks like murder. FELLED BY A STONE. Two Klttannlmr, Men Fall Oat and Fight at a Fishing; Party The Weaker Horls a Stone and Mortally Wounds His Ad , versary Now In Jail. KrxTANNrNG, Aug. a SpedaL With in the next 24 hours Armstrong county will havaprobably added another murder to its list. Early this morning a party of young men left this place on a fishing excursion, their destination being Buffalo Creek, sev eral miles from Kittannlng. Among the gay crowd were two well known young men, George Stickler and Thomas Steffy. Early in the day these two quarreled about some trifle, after which both remained in a bad humor, and upon every occasion would abuse each other. Finally they came together in a rough and tumble fight. Steffy, seeing that he was getting the worst of it, picked up a large stone and hurled at Stickler. Steffy's aim was good, and the stone struck the unfor tunate man oa the head. He fell to the ground in an instant, and it was thonght for a time that he was instantly killed. The injured man was picked up by his companions and taken to Walts Chalk, about three miles from this city, where he now lies in an unconscious Condition. A physician was immediately summoned, who pronounced the wound fatal, and it is ex pected the victim will die any minute. Steffy made no attempt to escape, and later he "was arrested and brought to jail here. A NEW SLOT DEVICE. It Will Bob Uncle Sam or P. O. Offlclats-r Postage Stamps to Be Delivered Auto matically A Money Maker as Well a. a Trouble Saver. Washington, Aug. 9. Special The resignation of S. A Whitfield, of Ohio, First Assistant Postmaster General, -which takes place on September 1, will be fol lowed by the resignation of other post office officials within the next few days. These gentleman leave the service of the Government to connect themselves with the Boston company that owns a patent for a recently invented postage stamp-selling machine, which has the official indorsement of the' Postoffice Department. By dropping a nickel in the slot of the new device it gives forth 4 cents worth of postage stamps and a. 1-cent coupon, good for its face value in trade at the stores of any ot tne arms who advertise on the coupon. This coupon is said to be not unlike a national bank note, and will not escape tbe criticism of being much like a counterfeit.' Postage stamps, of course, can only be sold at one rate- and the owners of the slot machine therefore depend for their commissions upon their coupon advertising privileges. United States Labor Commissioner Car roll D. Wright is the President of the Bos ton company that will flood the country with these Yankee money-making and trouble-saving devices. A NEW M0NETABT SCHEME. Prof. Soetbeer Has Devised a Mew Way to Equalize All Differences. Chicago, Aug. 9. Prof. Soetbeer, the well-known German economist, has pro pounded for the consideration of the Inter nationalfMonetary Conference a scheme by which he thinks the monetary systems of the world would be harmonized. He suggests that the conference agree that no gold coin containing less than 2.8065 grams of fine gold be allowed to be coined or circulated In the contracting countries; that silver 'be coined in the pro portion of 20 value units of silver to one of gold; that silver be legal tender up to 520, and that silver coins below the fixed standard of purity be withdrawn from circulation. This suggestion will- hardly meet the views of the silver men, who will contend that the ratio proposed is greater than it should be. It wlil certainly ndt suit the silver men in the United States, who will contend that silver ought to be rated higher. Prof. Soetbeer, it appears, thinks that opposition may be encountered nearer home, which is the way we account for the remark attributed to him in a cabled report that everything depends on the attitude of Great Britain. MESSE5GEB B073 8TBIEE. They TTanted an, Equal Division of the Company's Income. Boston, Aug. 9. Special. Boston mes senger boys got the "strike" fever to-day and IS of the Boston district messenger boys who work in connection with the Postal District Telegraph Company, quit work this morning. They have been re ceiving 40 per cent of the company's re ceipts for deliver of telegraph messages and they want CO per cent. The company refused to grant their request and to-day thgy struct There has been flo attempted violence The boys have merely gone off on a lark and it is probable that they will return to work in a day or two. The only demonstra tion occurred at 10.30 o'clock, when some 40 of them, having somewhere prooured a amaii. flag, paraded down Devonshire street, past the postoffice, marching single file, like a band ot Indians on a warpath, led by a youtn witn tne nag. xne band did not piay, but there was music enough from the noise of teams, the shouts of other boys and the drivers who were bothered by the wriggling serpentine line of blue-coated messengers as they marched along, grinning from ear to ear.

Revolqtionists in Honduras Defeated in a Big Battle. MANY INN0CEKT PE0PIE KILLED. International Questions Spring Up Over a War Tessel's Acts. PACTS OP THE BOMBARDMENT OP CEIBA tSPXCUL TXLXQSAU TO THE BISFATCITI New Orleans, Aug. 9. Letters from Honduras report a big battle in. the inter ior, some say at Botijas, others at Danli be tween Generals Nulla, commanding the revolutionary forces and General Villeta, commanding those of the Government in which Nulla was defeated after a fight ofll hours and retreated toward Nicaragua. Belfat, which was occupied by the revolu tionists has surrendered to General Ordonez of the Government army. The foreign residents of Ceiba complain that no notice was given of the intended bombardment of Ceiba, by the Pizzati and that in conse quence a number of innocent people in cluding one woman were killed. The residence and office of the American Consul, B. Tocca, was riddled with rifle balls, two men being shot on the premises. Tbe Stars and Stripes were floating over tha Consulate before and during the bom bardment The residence of the agent of the Oteri, American line, also had the American banner flying, but that as well as the residences of the French and Spanish representatives were badly wrecked by the bombardment. The town was a good "deal damaged and so were the other towns on the coast bombarded by the Pizzati. Serious Questions Have Arisen. The Honduras affair, although settled, promises to cause some serious interna tional complications. Threats are made by the foreign and American owners, whose property was destroyed by the bombard ment of Ceiba by the steamer Pizzati, to bring suit for damages against tha owners of that vessel, the nationality of which will have to beestablished. The Pizzati car ries the American register and floated the American flag, but daring the bombard ment of the coast towns acted as a man-of-war of Hondnras, and Captain Henry Piz zati, although an American citizen, held a commission as a General in the army of Honduras. Santo Oteri, the owner of the Pizzati, says that before the vessel entered into the service of the Government at all, General' Leiva had obtained the consent of the United States War Department at Wash ington that the Pizzati be used as a war ves sel for the Legitimate Government of Hon duras. He thinks that ought relieve him of responsibility in the matter of an in demnity. President Leiva.. of Honduras, gave the Captain of the Pizzati a written guarantee that he would accede to any de mands for compensation that the Caotain would make for his services, leaving him to fix the price. The Pizzati will remain in the service of the Honduras Government a few weeks longer until it is certain that tho .revolution is ended. International Complication. Possible. A telegram from Guatemala to-day an nounces another international complication. This telegram was from Captain Challoner, of the steamship Joseph Oteri, belonging to Mr. Joseph Oteri, of this city.brother of the owner of the Pizzati, announcing that his vessel had been refused the right to enter any Honduras port. The Oteri was the steamer seized by the revolutionists and used in the capture of Truxillu and carries an American register. It was charged that the officers of the Oteri were friendly to the revolntionists and connived at the seirnre of that vessel and its use against the Government. The latter evidently accepts this story, ior it has refused entrance to tbe Oteri, which left here a few days ago with a large cargo of freight for any port of the Republic As tha freight is perishable, this refusal will entail a heavy loss on the owners of the vessel. A protest was accordingly entered and an ap peal made by telegraph to the United States secretary ot State tor protection. The owners of the Oteri claim that the Honduras Government cannot shut their vessels out ot that country because one of them was seized by the revolutionists and used against the Government. The Oteri was the only vessel denied entrance to Hon duras. The report from Gnatemala that the ports of that country have been closed to commerce are untrue. WANAMAKER AS AN AUTHOR. His Official Work to Ba Il'ustrated ivith Pictures of Pretty Clerks. Washington, Aug. 9. Postmaster Gen eral Wanamaker has determined to write a book. The forthcoming volume is to be devoted to Mr. Waaamaker's personal ex perience as Postmaster General. Through out the Postoffice Department it is re ferred to as '.'Wanamaker's Book." Several clerks have been engaged for some time past in tbe preparation of the manuscript, and everything was progressing finely until the author decided to include a number of illustrations in the publication. Portraits of a few of the leading Bureau officers are to appear, but a special feature is to be the pictures of some of the hand somest of the women employes: It has been said that the rolls of the Post office Department contain the names of a large number of beautiful young women, and the selections of the subjects for "Wanamaker's Book" has caused a merry war to break out in the department. The favored ones who have been invited to give the Postmaster General their respective tintypes are of course in high glee, but those who have been overlooked are saying some very mean things about the Postmaster General and those who assisted him in making the selections. Those who have not the necessary photographs on hand are au thorized to go to a local artist arid have them taken at the expense of the Post master General. CONVERSED WITH THE SPIRITS.
