Prospect of Rally.
Washington Special to New York Sun.
The men who are managing the Democratic
canvass agreed some time ago that it would be
best to have short canvass and to cram into a
few weeks the work that usually extends
through two or three months. Circumstances,
however, may compel the committee to begin
the active work Of the canvass almost imme
dately In spite of the enthusiastic assertions
to the contrary, the committee is not receiving
encouraging reports. The Indifference that fol
lowed the nomination of Cleveland in many sec
tions where it was believed the ticket would be
received with some enthusiasm threatens to be-
come open disaffection. The committee is
surprised and somewhat alarmed It is
needful that something be done and that
right away, to check this threatened
decentralization, if III does not get SO strong as to
be uncomfortable. Some of the delegates to the
Chicago convention who voted for Cleveland
have already expressed doubts about the wisdom
of the nomination. They have done so because
they have had opportunity to see the indifference
and disafection that exist. Aside from the fact
that dangerous detection is certain in New
York city, and the support of Tammany will be
at best perfunctory, word comes from Con
nectcut, New Jersey, West Virginia and Ohio
that proves that time is aggravating rather than
HSd4lHS Gl0 blOuUl0. w HdG J1e cOmmlGUe6 can
do to check it is a very serious problem. 1t is
very embarrassing for the managers to
be told, as they have been over and
over again, that there are many Demo
Gratis who regard defeat as better
than victory, because they believe that if Cleye-
land is elected he will be under such obligations
to the independent Republicans and Blaine
bolters that he will be obliged to recognize
them, thus surely bringing on Decentralization
in the party
The committee realizes that it viii not do to
wait day, and now that Mr. Cleveland's letter
is made public, active, though perhaps not very
public, canvassing will begin. The most vigor
ous measures will be taken to counteract the
tendency that is no longer denied of many who
have heretofore voted the Democratic ticket to
go to Butler
The national committee now finds itself con
fronted with the suspicion that the nomination
of Cleveland may have been the final and worst
mistake Of the year, and with the fear that un-
comfortable Generalization will seize the party
in some sections before election day unless
active, intelligent and untiring measures are
taken at once to prevent it.

The cholera scare is slowly subsiding in Eng
land and Ireland. but curious incidents contin-
ually come to light to show how firm hold
it has upon the public and the officials A few
days ago an unknown man near Queenstown
Ireland, was thought to have cholera and was
placed under restraint and carefully isolated
from all communication with other people An in
vestigation showed that he had coma from
America as a stowaway on Cunard steamer;
thathe 2 had little or nothing to eat during thg
voyage, and that on the day he was found he
had walked twenty miles undera broiling SIM
The stowaways died, and no one can be induced
to bury the corpse, although reward is offered
In another case an Enghshmap was isolated
for two days on the Franco Italian frontier as a
cholera Suspect and when his was
properly diagnosed it was found that he was suf-
fering from nothing worse than severe fit of
Indigestion.
Five deaths from cholera occurred at Toulon
last night The increase is attributed to the
hasty return of the inhabitants, especially as a
state Of infection is still prevailing
The cholera is increasing in Italy In the
province of Cuneo there have been fifty-eisht
deaths during the past three days, and at La
Spezzia and adjoining villages seventy fresh
cases, and forty eight deaths in the past two
days
The factthat the cholera outbreak in Italy
follows severe rain fall, favors the theory of DR.
Koch, the German expert, that moisture forces
the development of cholera. Letters and lug

CONSPIRACY IN SPAIN.
Plot Designed to Reseat Queen Isabella on
the Throne

LONDON, August 90 "A tremendous sensation
has been caused at Madrid by rumors of plot
designed by ex-Queen Isabella to reseat herself
upon the throneof Spain. King Alfonsos lung
affection is getting worse despite official contra
dictions and in the event of his death it is more
than probable that Gorilla, the Republican
leader, who is now under sentence Of death
would be able to make coup detat which might
overthrow the monarchy and establish a
Spanish republic. Queen Christmas unpopular
among the Spaniards and there are many
elements in the nation which would be trouble
some in the event of the present Kings death
ExQueen Isabella is. therefore, seeking TO ally
with herself all those who are loyal to the
dynasty which she represents, with a view Of
having herself proclaimed regent when Alfonso
dies. Gen. Martinez De Campos, late
Minister of War and Senior Sagasta, late Prime
Minister are said to be abetting the ex- Queen in
her design and the army is being worked upon
to make it auxiliary to the scheme Another
part of Isabellas project is to unite the Bourbon
branches in Spain by the marriageof Alfonso's
eldest daughter, the infanta Maria, to the son Of
Don Carlos.

THE WEEKLY JOURNAL is newspaper that

the price named for itthere is no reason why
It should not be, at least during the exciting
and important campaign upon which the
country has now entered. Political COM
mittees cannot do better than to see that
copies of THE WEEKLY JOURNAL are placed
in the hands of those persons in their
counties who are not now readers of
some sound Republican paper. The
tariff question is the one issue which
is likely to be most prominently dis
cussed, and to this the Journal pays especial
attention, advocating the maintenance of the
principle Of protection to American industry
in whatever revision Of the tariff laws may be
made necessary in the future developments Of
business and labor. In this question the
farming community is deeply interested, and
the discussions Of the journal viii be
largely directed to the agricultural aspects Of
the question.

Indiana that publishes regularly Ten Pages,

campaign, despite the low price Send in
names at once, either singly OF in clubs, and
thus get the full term for the money.

LONDON, Aug "a Adverse criticism of the
governments plan Tor relief expedition to
Khartoum by way of the Nile is daily becoming
stronger Many reasons are shownfor believing
that the expedition as now planned will be
failure. 1t is spoken Of as a makeshift, and is
claimed to be miserably inadequate in numbers
and equipment The critics say that
the transportation facilities relied on
sor passing the cataracts of the Nile are crude
and insufficient and they urge the War Office to
send another force, composed chiefly Of Indian
acclimated troops, to Khartoum by way of Sua-
kim and Berber. Sir Samuel Baker is out with
another of his gloomy diatribes, in which he in
weighs against the governments cheese pairing
policy, which is sure to result in disaster to the
British forces. Sir Samuel says that the gov
ernment has now no excuse for blundering, hav-
ing been warned for months Of the condition of

Foo Chow, the ..Happy City..

Foo-Chow the scene of the opening of hostili-
ties between France and China, is called by the
natives Hokchiu, or Happy City. 1t lies in lati-
tude 26 degrees minutes north and longitude
119 degrees 20 minutes east on the northern
side Of the Min, thirtyfour miles from its mouth,
and nine from Pagoda island. The city is situat
ed in plain, surrounded by hills, forming nat
ural and most magnificent amphitheater of vast
dimensions, whose fertility emulates and adds to
its beauty. Suburbs extend from the walls
three miles to the banks and stretch along on
both sides Of the stream They are connected
with each other, and small islet in the river,
by stone bridge built in the eleventh century.
The scenery Is bold, and such parts of the sur,
rounding hills as are not cultivated or used for
graves are covered with pines. Some Of the
hills north Of the city are 5000 feet high Op-
posite Foo-C Chow the land is lower, and the
suburb is built upon an island formerly
the division Of the main channel, seven
miles above the city. The branches reunite at
Pagoda island. This island and the plain on each
side form q large basin, about twenty miles long
by fifteen wide. The river is crowded with float
ing habitations, ferry boats and trading craft
rendering its surface an animated and noisy
scene. The flowers grown in pots in the boats
and those usually worn by the b6atwomen in
their hair always assist in imparting a pleasing
aspect to the lively sight
