When I received notice a short tlmo ago of

between persons, it matters utile to ine
American people whether your distinguished

the chief executive position in the greatest
nation upon earth. Bat it does matter for
what politics a president shall stand. And
In this campaign persons are lost sight of in
tbe interest ot tbe causa which those persons

Bottom Wool Market
The wool market her oontlnues dull and
featureless, and it i only imajl lots here and
there that are being sold. The reports of
salesmen who have visited tbe mills show
that tbe manufacturers, as a rule, have little
wool on baud, but no ainouut of persuasion
can Induce them to make a purchase. The
price of wool Is not materially different In
any Hue as far aa can be ascertained, but
there is not enough selling of the different
grades to establish a quotation. Fleece
wools contlnne dull without change. The
market for Australian wools yet holds steady
aud buyers and In need of supplies are forc

A DAY OF FUNERALS.
A tack of Rearie In Nsw Tork Delay

Thnro were 4(10 funerals In New Tork Bun-
ilay, and over 200 citizens of Brooklyn warn
hurled. Undertaker said on Saturday tho
funerals of Suudny would be more numer
ous than those of any day of the last weok,
and that meant more numerous than on
any day In the history of the city. Thoy
were right.
Of thn 1.HI0 persons who died In this city
last week, nearly WO died Thursday night.
'rlday aud Haturdav. Hncnusn of the dlfll-
culty of securing casknts, hearse and carri
ages, or even undertakers service beyond
he simplest and most nneessnry. uenrly all
thn funerals for thnt period were delayed,
and mnny of thn dead of previous days were
retained In undertakers' rooms until Sunday
so their friends might pay them the last
honors.
Thirty-six hearses were borrowed from
adjoining towns In New Jersey and 12 from
l'hllndelphia, and several New York under
takers, whose rush was over, lent hearses to
Brooklyn friends. Other hearses were added
Brooklyn's supply from Long Island
towns, as there were nearly one-fourth of tho
ween s HiH dead In that city still uiiuurlnd.
The order up to that time equaled the
supply, and that fact strangely affected the
nineriiis. in ordinary tunc the average
number of coaches for a funeral In a well
paid worklngmnn's family Is 10. To-day the
undertakers were compelled to reduce the
number to three nnd four, and In mnny In
stances there were but two.
At the cemeteries the crowd of visitors
were enormnu and the tolling ot the gate
II continuous. So mnnv grave had been
called for that the force of nearly 800 men at
Calvary had been Increased by over 100 dig
gers, nnd the entire force worked night and
ilny. At the Lutheran Cemetery the number
of diggers had nearly been doubled, and even
then the number of graves completed was
less thnn were needed. In consequence many
bodies were placed In receiving vaults.
All day Father Costello stood in thn tiny
chapnl nt Holy Cross nnd pronounced tho
benediction for the dead. The funeral train
approached thn chapel In double lines, tho
hearses mnssed around thn entrance where
bearers walked with their burden and tho
weeping relatives until their turn to enter.

Baron Fava, the Italian ambassador, who

asking tor official Information regarding the
lynching of three alleged Italian uoject in
Louisiana. Tbe State Department has call
ed on the Governor of Louisiana for a full
report of the occurrence in order thnt suit
able reply can be made to the ambassador.
If it can be found that the Italians were
naturalized American citizen, the inquiry
will stop, aa the Italian government can nc
louirer take anv Interest iu thn affair, but if,
as in the case of similar lynching of Italians
in Louisiana and Colorado, the men are
shown to be aliens to the United States, an
indemnity will undoubtedly be demanded
and Congress asked to appropriate for that
nurnose. as it did in former Instances.
Until the governor ot Louisiana makes bis

nd resorted to the Ice. Tho steamer W Ind-
ward, carrying the supplies to the Jackson
llarmsworth expedition, picked them up near
Franz Joseph land. They expec'.ed that thn
Fram would eventually drift to thn east coast
of Greenland. Dr. Nnnsen failed to reach
the north pole, but he touched a point 4 do-
ree nearer than any other explorer lias
done.
Dr. Nansen left the Fram on March 14.
lS'.ir,. in N4 deuree north latitude. Ho trav
ersed the l'ulur sea to a point ffl degrees, 14
minutes north latitude, situated north of the
new Siberia islands. No bind was sighted
north of 82 degrees of latitude or thence to
Frnnz Joseph Land, where he passed tho

describes tbe Impressive scene of the moon's
shadow sweeping over the earth at the mo

"The view from Dr. Common' observa

Vnranger (lord to the mountains opposite.
The deep purple shadow plunged the moun
tains in temporary obsaurity. as it an.
vanced across the fiord the shadow envel
oped the training squadron, the details of
the rigging disappeared from view and the
ship's lights gleamed forth brilliantly. Still
the shadow pressed on with majestic speed,
a mile in every two seconds. It moved as
awiftly as a cannon ball uutll it reached
totality ot tne eclipse.
"Complete darkness lasted tor 100 sec
onds. Tho unwonted spectacle hushed
everyone to silence, A few startled birds
hurried past the camp.
"Altnougn ail visitor loit mat ine magni

brance, sclentlflo results of all the labors
were hardly anything. The light around
was not greater than that ot a full moon,
but In the dlstnnee the mountain tops were
shining brilliantly. Tbe manner In which
the darkness lifted was almost startling in
its suddenness, but the sun was still bidden
