SPREADING LITERATURE.
Republican sOphistry Killed by
Democratic Logic.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 13.-Business is
being rushed at each of the congress
sional campaign headquarters in this
city. The Republicans have laid in
100000 of franked envelopes and S,OOO,-
600 wrappers. L. II. Mckee, assistant
secretary of the national committee. is
in charge of the mailing department
and has force of over fifty mailing
clerks. They are sending out copies of
about thirty distinct publications, most
of them bearing on the tariff. but in
cluding also ''Why Am Republican,
by Robert q. IngersoIi, and the Farmers
New Poor Richard Almanac" of which
half a million copies are going out.
Then there is the labor chart, a map
which shows the average wages paid in
each state in theUnion. More than a
million of these charts are to be circu-
lated. Every day over 1000 packages
containing one of each kind of document
issued are distributed.
The Democratic committee, under
charge of Lawrence Gardner. are also
sending out tariff literature, but they
are diversifying it with dissertations on
other subjects, including pensions.
Henry Georges Protection or Free
Trade" is having phenomenal circuIa-
tion.
During the last day or two there have
been many inquiries for copies of Sena-
tor Stewards speech on the force bill.
Notwithstanding that it was delivered
by a Republican senator. Most OF the
urgent Democrats on the committee
came from the Southern states, where
the inroads of the third party are occa-

GRESHAM DENIES 1T.
The Taubeneck-Stou Yarn Was
Not Authentic.

THOMPSON, Conn.,, Aug. 13.-Judge
Walter q. Gresham and wife have been
in Thompson since last Wednesday.
This afternoon Judge Gresham made
the statement that he would deliver no
speeches during this campaign. He
was questioned concerning the state
meut given the press recently by Chair
man Taubeneck, of the Peoples party.
at st. Louis. to the effect that he had
concluded to take the stump in the
interests OF the third party, and would
make an opening speech at indianapolis
the latter part OF this month.
1he Judge said the statement was
made without authority; that he should
make no political speeches during the
campaign. The judge said that he did
not know Mr.. StolI. had no communica-
ton With him. and that his first answer
covered his reply as to the contents of
the indianapolis dispatch. He declined
TO discuss the platform and principles
OF the Peoples party. When asked
what he had to say as to the reasons
given by indianapolis Republicans why
he could not antagoniZe the Republican
party, he replied that, as an American
citizen he considered it his duty to vote
according to his convictions. and that
he owed no SlaviSh obedience to any
party. He said that he intended to re-
turn to Chicago in day or two.
ST. LOUIS, Aug. 13.-Mr. Taubeneck
has sent to Indiana for Judge GreSham;S
original letter recently referred to in
these dispatches, and promises to make
further statements when he receives it.

change in the strike situation today.
neither side to the controversy display
ing much activity. The Thirty-secOnd
street mill ran as usual, but the locked
out workmen remain as firm as ever.
The Beaver Falls shutdown is
still complete, however, and no sign of
resumption of work is to be seen
there. Vice Chairman Leishman. of
the Carnegie company, speaking of the
plant, said: 1--WE have for some time
been dissatisfied with the location of
these works, and, as we now have
plenty of room on our property at Home
stead, the Beaver Falls property could
be operated with much better advan-
tage there. However, there is no hurry,
and when we get ready the location will
be determined"
The same gentleman spoke as follows
regarding the federation of labor'S fail
ure to boycott the company's product:
The reason given by the American
Federation Of Labor for not deciding to
boycott our product. because the product
is so small and inferior as to be incon-
Sequential, Is amusing. Our product is
far from small and inferior. 1t is is first
class i'll every particular, and we are
entirely satisfied with the work done.
The quantity if also satisfactory, and
we are making shipments every day
aud well up with our contracts"
The New Scale.
Regarding the dissatisfaction said to
exist among the fnishers over the
Amalgamated association scale Presi-
dent Weihe today said: ~ ne scale has
been agreed upon, and the Anal
gamated association will execute its
provisions"
Mr.. Weihe did not care TO discuss
further the subject of the dissatIsfac-
ton existing among the finisherS over
the reduction, but in the light of his as
sertiOn that the scale has been irrevoca-
bly, settled, then objections cannot
carry weight. even if they should ma
terIaliZe any amount of strength.
One of the other officials made the
statement that the ASSOCIATION had little
fear but that the finishers would all
quietly 90 TO work with the rest of the
employees when the mills resumed. He
said the objection was only among a
minority. and that while they did not
like the reduction, yet they would not
JeopardlZe their positions by persist
ent refusal. In but few cases would
the reduction be more than 10 per cent.

October.
His Main Work Will Be Done
in the Interior of the
State.
Judge Gresham Denies the
Report That He Is to Talk
for Weaver.
The Noted Jurist States He
Will Not Speak During
the Campaign.

New YORK, Aug. 13.-An evening
paper says: A prominent Tammany
officer says that Senator Hill will take
the stump in October and will make
number of speeches in this city and
state. Most of his speaking will be
done in the interior of the state, but he
will make one or more speeches in this
city, and probably one in Brooklyn.
His first speech may be made at Tam
many hall.
Two monster mass meetings will be
held at the wigwam Oh Fourteenth
street, in the interest of the national
ticket, at which some of the greatest
orators in the country will make
speeches. The first of these meetings
may be held about the last of Septen-
Der. The other will take place in Oc-
tober. The plan of campaign agreed
upon by the Tammany leaders is to do
the work for the national ticket first
and put off the local fight to the three
weeks preceding the election.

MINERS CUT LOOSE.
A Tennessee Stockade Cap
tured, Cleaned Out and
Then Burned.
Convicts Marched to the Rail-
road and Loaded Into the
Cars for Nashville.
Hatred at the Lease System
Inspired the Action Of
the Miners.
Gov. Buchanan Will Repeat
the Coal Creek Method of
Treatment.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, Aug. 13.-At 9
O'Clock this morning the StOckade at
Tracy City was burned. and the 800 con-
yicts were placed on ears ready to be
started for Nashville. At O'Clock this
morning a committee of miners awoke
E. o. Nathurst, superintendent of the
mines for the Tennessee Coal. Iron and
Railroad company, and asked him that
the miners be allowed as many hours
work in each week as the cOnvictS.
Mr.. Nathurst replied that ne would
submit the matter to the company and
do what he could. The committee then
left, and Mr.. Nathurst. knowing that
secret Oath-bound organization had
been formed some weeks ago for
purposes unknown, at once be-
gan to suspect trouble. He
went to Deputy Warden Burton
and together they began to circulate
among the miners, who were gathering
in groups, and try to influence them to
keep quiet. Their efforts were of no
avail. Slowly the ominous air OF sup
pressed excitement became tinged with
open threats and promises of destruc-
ton to the stockade or a battle.
Captured and Burned.
AtS:30 O'Clock an organized body of
$50 men, 100 of them armed and 30 ap-
parently unarmed, advanced OH the
stockade. To capture it was the work
of moment. Without undue confu-
sion every piece of property belonging
to the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad
company was carefully removed to a
safe distance. and the convicts who
were in the stockade were led out under
guard.
Then the torch was applied and at
O'Clock the buildings were a mass of
fames. The miners at once proceeded
to the mines. took possession of the con-
victs, marched them to the railroad sta
ton and loaded them in box cars. Next
the telegraph wires we're cut. and a
guard placed over everything in the
yards to prevent the carrying of the
news down the mountain.
There has been much dissatisfaction
among the free miners at Tracy City
because OF the lease system. which al
lowed the bulk of the work in the
mines to be done by convicts. Yet the
miners at Tracy City nave been among
the most conservative in the state and
the company has had very little trouble
with them. They have been determined
to support no party or candidate in the
coming elections that was not pledged
to the prompt.

will show the dimensions and general
style and arrangement of the structure.
1t is well built, on very solid founda-
ton, which is necessary for the
perfect running of the machinery. Inc
foundation is of stone, and the super
structure is of brick. The machinery is
now being set. In the weave room there
are to be 26 broad looms and one narrow
loom on which samples for the trade are
to be made. In the dye room there will
be seven or eight machines and IN the
finishing room twelve. Duties included.
this machinery has cost about $4,000.
1t has all been purchased in Lancashire
and Yorkshire, England, by Manager
Walter Ackroyd, who is said to have
saved $4,000 on the purchase because OF
the depressing effect of the Mckinley
bill on the plush industry of England.
Makers of machinery were ready to sell
at much reduced price, and it is under
stood that the directors of the South

THE BETTING.
Portland People Are Not Putting Up So
Much Money as They Did Eight and
Four Years Ago-stiIl There Are a

One of the noticeable features of this
election is the comparatively small
amountof betting in this town. Those
who remember the large and numerous
wagers of eight years ago, and even the
bets of four years ago, find very little to
interest them in the way of bets this
year. OF course there are the usual
numbers of wagers laid for fun, inyolv-
ing hats, cigars, pigs heads, etc., and, in
quiet way, some money has been put
up Saturday night. at the United States
Hotel, there was some interest among
the commercial travellers. and Mr.. Jo-
seph Parkman offered 800 even money
that Harrison would be elected. He was
taken up by a Democratic drummer. A
Commercial street business man, a Dem
ocrat, has three even bets, aggregating
5000, that Cleveland will be elected; an
Saturday he was telling friends who
dropped into his store to let him know
if they found any Harrison money wait

The Brooks Gun.

1t is reported that the government
was much pleased with the exhibition of
the Brooks magazine rifle. The govern
ment requested to see completely
equipped rifle of the same size weight
and calibre, which would be used in the
army, and for this purpose they offered
the use of the workshop at the Spring
field armory where the gun could be
made. 1t will be remembered that the
arm which was exhibited was smaller
and lighter than the regulation gun.
Capt. Jones decided, however, that it
would be better to manufacture the gun
here where they would be safe from pry-
ing eyes. Ithas not been definitely set

about 100000 yards a year. But the
machines have wide range of goods
which they will be able to make, and the
mill can make all varieties of silk
plushes from the silk seal to the coarser
varieties, cotton plushes, velyets and
mohairs. There is said to be an excel
lent demand for pushes in this country
at the present time. The Mckinley bill
raised the duty from 10 per cent to 110
per cent; and as result the English in
dustry is migrating to this country.
The officers of the company are ex-
Governor ROBBIE, who is president; Mr..
G. A. Tilton, who is clerk and treasurer
Mr.. Walter Ackroyd, who is general
manager, and Messrs. J. J. Gerrish, I. G..

the president are directors. The officers
announce that the subscriptions to the
capital stock are nearly all paid in, and
this with the small balance yet to be
paid. will cover the cost of the building
and machinery.
At present there is but eight feet of

church received as member of the con-
gregation, by Hebrew confirmation, Rev.
Mr.. Shershafsky was the officiating rab-
bi, and addressed the congregation,
dwelling on the important duties the
young man was about to assume. The
candidate then made the usual profess
sion of faith, as follows: ''An Israelite
was born, and the God of my race
adore" He was then declared MEM
Der of the congregation. Dinner was
then served
