extended trip East. Senator Miller left
here Immediately after the close Of the Ne
publican Convention. Speaking OF the
political outlook, the Senator said: l have
talked with q great many gentlemen inter-
ested in the coming e~lection-that is, men
who are MOI hot-headed on the subject OF
politics or ringleaders in any particular
faction. In regard to New York, the Re-

there will be a hard fight. 1t hinges on
Ohio in October.

900 majority at least. Nevada and oregon

A New Device of the Enemy.
WASHINGTON, Sept. ga new plan de-
vised for obtaining campaign funds from
government employees has come to light
through a letter addressed by one Of the lat
ter to Civil Service Commissioner Eaton, to
which Eaton has replied in an unofficial
letter. The plan is to request clerks to
ioin State associations, the membership
being composed of employees and officers
of departments. The request is accom-
panied BY a statement that upon the re-
commentator of the Executive Commit
tee, the association voted to amend the
constitution by making membership dues
for 2 years SIS, payable in advance. The
clerk who received one of these requests
asks Eaton's opinion, which is given to
the effect that If the money thus collected
is used for q political purpose the trans
action will constitute such a violation OF
the Civil Service law as will subject all
persons concerned in it to the penalties OF
that law. Eaton's letter is very long.
After arguing that the attempted evasion
Of the Civil Service law is very thoroughly
disguised, he repeats his former advice to
clerks not to permit themselves to be
frightened into contributing unwillingly
for political objects.
LeprOsy I'm Canada.
OTTAWA, Ont, Sept. S.-Considerable
alarm has been caused among the people
of British Columbia at the announcement
of leprosy having been discovered among
the Chinese population. While the Chi
nese dealers who are familiar with the
disease say that the cases reported are
leprosy, an English-spesking doctor who
was ordered to examine the patients states
that they are not. 1t is stated, however,
that for certain reasons the doctor In
question is DESTROYS of concesling the
facts, he being interested in continuing
their admission into the country, which
the discovery of leprosy among them
would tend to check. There is little
doubt, however, that the disease has been
introduced into the province from China,
and that it is more prevalent than is sup
posed. The question now arises to what
extent will it be carried across the border
into the United States by hundreds Of
Cinnamon who are smuggling themselves
across the line into Washington Territory.
Double Suicide.
New BRUNSWICK, N. j., Sept. S.-Na-
poleon Runyon President of the National
Bank cut his throat in the water closet of
the bank. He was implicated in the
thievery of Cashier Hill. There is great
excitement over the double suicide of the
President and Cashier Of the National
Bank of New Jersey. 1t became intense
when the statements furnished by these
officials TO June Of the current year showed
a paid up capital of $3.50, 600; surplus, S125,-
600; undivided profits, S78,180. There
has been nothing in the public history OF
the bank since that date to cause any un
easiness to the stockholders. The suicide
OF President Runyon, while strengthening
the testimony Of giant frauds in the man
agement, causes unbounded establishment
amongl the general public. President
Runyon was a farmer, go years of age.

has been President Of the bank five years.
