That's Decidedly CampaiRnish-Both Par
ties Rhave Headquarters in the Capital
senator CarlIsle's Tariff Speech in Great
Demand.
WASHINGTON, August 14.-Democrats
and Republicans have headquarters In
WashingtOn-th one in the Washing
ton Loan and Trust Building, corner OF
Ninth and F streets, and the other In
the old United Service Club House, on
G street, near the War Department
There are signs Of activity at these
places, but it is floating on the surface,
and there is nothing that suggests deep
sea campaigning, so TO speak.
The work consists In sending out
great quantities OF reading matter that
can 90 under Congressional frank. The
PoSt-o1ice Department will have to do
great deal of dead head business during
the next three months. Already there
are orders for 20O,OOO copies OF the
speech on the tariff made by Senator
Carlisle. There IS demand for two or
three OF the speeches on the tariff made
by Congressman Wilson, or west Vlr-
ginia, and a speech on the same SUBJECT
made by Speaker Crisp two years ago.
Representative McKinney's speech on
the pensions, and Senator McPherson's
anti-Force bill delivery have wide cir
culation. In the South, where the
regular Democrats are annoyed at the
iucursions of the third party, there is
considerable demand for a speech made
BY Congressman Henderson, Of Iowa, In
which General Weaver, the Alliance
nominee for president, was severely
overhauled. The fact that Henderson
is a Republican of the radical variety
does not disqualify him from being an
assistant in the work OF destroying
Weaver.
The Republicans are sending out
documents in vast quantities. 1t Is
stated that the committee will use
5000, 900 Of large envelopes and $780,
600 Of wrappers
The dissemination of literature Is all
that is in sight. After all, that is all
that is really visible to the public at
any stage Of the game, except the per-
fJrmances Of the sDeli-binders,
The President is out OF the city. The
Vice President has shaken the dust OF
the capital from his feet till next De-
cember. Not a Cabinet officer is in
town. Only few struggling Senators
and Representatives are here, and there
is talk of arrestlng them as dangerous
lunatics. The seat Of Government is
nearly an empty seat,

Here is what Mr.. FRANK HATToS,
who was President AErUUE's Postmaster
General, and now editor Of the indie
pendent Washington Post has TO say Of

New York TljburE'S quarrel with the Typo

both. However shat may De, the quarre.
occurred. md for the past few years the
UliOp,hc5bad no footing or recognition no.
Z th,Nfrib.us Office Mir. Reid has ON various
occasions prOfessed his entire and abundant
satisfaction with the arrangement Indeed
he has never once, up 20 the moment OF his
nomination by the Minneapolis convention,
manifested the least desire Co change or
even modify 10 fra the smallest degree. We
have always assumed, therefore,, that Mr..
Reid himself felt quite sure of the Justice
of his cause, ana was, lu consequence, pre-
pared 60 maintain 10 TO the end.
Now, however, MIR Reid finds himself
{enliCate for high public ONCE, and,
an anx.Aus effort 20 p.lcate the organic
ZION whichNsO recently he was proud and
eager 70 antagOuiZe. From day 70 day
the auuOuucemeut is made that the Tribune
office has been ''unlou.Zcj,N that MIR Reid
has surrendered 40 discretion, and that
everything is once more lovely between
him and "NO. Or Nor IS any cOncealment

he is futile az we'll The men who com

London Money Market.

LONDON, August lA-DiscOuut was a
shade 6rmer the past week at las. The
continuous fall in silver causes an uneasi-
ness in financial circles besides this fall en-
dangeriug business relations with the
East. the loss through investment in silver
countries is becoming serious.
On the stock exchange business remained
very QUie; throughout the week. The
settlement concluded on Friday disclosed
a notable limitation of dealings. English
railway securities were quiet. American
railroads were dull and irregular with
general tendency downward. Good har-
vest reports and favorable traffic returns,
failed 70 counterfeit the influence Of the
silver depression. Stock offered here con-
tiuues TO be readily absorbed for America.

CINCINNATI, O., August 14.-Louis
Bentz, q well-to-do farmer living near
the line separating Warren and Clinton
counties, is telling of a mOnStrosity 10
which one Of his favorite hens but re-

eggs one evening he noticed that from
the end of one Of them there protruded
a stringy substance. Owing To the
darkness he was unable to ascertain full

the eggs were then placed in the cellar
of his residence. Three days after
ward Mrs. Bentz found it necessary TO
use the lot of eggs in question, but her
husband had not told her Of the curious

particular egg, she was Mortified 10 dis

wife are positive in their affirmation
that the mouse wss in the egg when
laid. The parties concerned are thor
ouehly reliable, and the veracity or
their statements is not questioned.
They are at loss TO account for the
freak, and Mr.. Bentz has been kicking
himself ever since the discovery that he
did not more critically examine the egg

Fifteen Feet Long and Six Inches Thick.
seen at Blooming Grove, n. Y.
NEwBURG, \. Y, August 14.-On the
farm of Elias Gerow, in the town Of
Blooming Grove, this county, monster
black snake has been seen at intervals
during the past three years. 1t was
first observed by the Rev. DR.. Warren
Hathaway, pastor OF the Blooming
Grove Church. He estimated its length
at ten feet at least He had no weapon
when he saw it, and it got away.
It has just been seen by Frank Muir
ray, who reports that the monster is
fifteen feet long and six inches diam
eter. He thought when he saw the tail
end that it was charred log, but on
closer inspection discovered a huge
snake. He had scythe In his hand,
but was so frightened that he dropped
it. got over the fence and ran for the
house.
He reported his discovery to James
C. Gerow, and the latter armed and
went forth to do battle, but the snake
had gone. There is no little excitement
in the neghborhood, and hunting par
ties may be organize.

PECULIAR DIVORCE SUIT.

Woman Petitions For a Legal separation
From a Man to Whom she Was Never
Married.
TOLEDO. O., August 14.-Society was
shocked this afternoon by the filing Of
a suit for divorce by Mrs. Lucy Cline,
against John T. Cline, until recently
Secretary-Treasurer of the Ohio Cen
trail Railway lines. The petition al
leces that August %, 1850, Cline
proposed that they agree TO
live as man and wife, he claiming
that the fact of so living and cohsbiting
would be sufficient in the eyes OF the
law. On August 25th the couple regis
tered at Detroit hotel as man and
wife, and have since been recognized in
Toledo as such. In June Cline deserted
his partner, hence the suit. Mrs. Cline
asks the court to declare the marriage
void, grant her the custody Of the child,
and alimOny, and then give Der a
divorce. Judge Stevenson Burke pur-
chased, some weeks since, forty-two
acres Of land, in Lucas county, from
Cline, which Mrs Cline alleges was done
to defraud her of her rights, and she
asks that the Judge be compelled to es-
tablish his title.

FINDLAY,O., August 14.-Three thou
sand dollars Is the balm demanded by
Miss Mary Munson, Gentle, living at
Ottawa, Putnam county, to heal her
wounded heart, which was broken by
the fickleness of a Jewish lover, VIII
liam Bremen, of this city. She filed
her breach of promise suit In the courts
here to-day, and charges that away
back in May, 1890, young Bremen
promised to marry her. Frequently
after that time he renewed the pledge,
but always sought to have the date Of
the wedding postponed.
In June last Bremen was married to
Miss Sugarman, a handsome daughter
OF wealthy and fashionable Jewish pa
ents. in Toledo. The deserted would-be
bride at Ottawa bore her grief in ST.
lence for several months, but at last
determined to make Bremen pay for
his rifiug disregard of her feelings.
Bremen is a prosperous young business
man here, aud is much chagrned at the
turn which affairs have taken. The
prominence Of the parties socially, here
and at Toledo, makes the incident Of
much interest.

Pilots of Rival Steamboats, Loaded with
Passengers, Fire Upon Zach Other with
Wmohesters.
PEORIA, Ill, August 1.-THE pas
sengerS of the steamers City OF Peoria
and the Borealis Rex were thrown into
a terrible state of excitement to-day by
a fight with Winchester rifles between
the pilots of the respective boats. On
the trip up the river both boats were
loaded with passengers. After leaving
the dock at Spring Bay the Rex at
tempted to pass the City Of Peoria, but
was run into the willows. Another at
tempt was made near Chillicothe, and
the City OF Peoria being the heavier
boat, threatened TO run the Bex down.
The passengers were terribly alarmed
and the pilot OF the Rex fired twice
with a Winchester rife at the Peoria's
pilot, who escaped by dropping 10 the
floor. Captain York, Of the Peoria, ran
to the pilot house and changed the
boats course just in time to avoid cut
ting the Rex in two.
There has been bad blood between
the men for some time. River men are
much excited over the shooting, and
say the war will not end until one of
the boats is sunk or some one is killed.

which it has of killing honey bees. One of
these robber flies will take up its station on
