A WAY TO GET MONEY

Being Urged by-Southern Republican Man.
agers-Regisrratio Fees Must Be Paid
for Colored voters-Chanoes for Their
Votes to Be Counted.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 15-[SpeciaL Re
publican managers in the Southern States
have hit upon a new scheme to induce
Chairman Carter to distribute some of his
campaign funds south of Mason and Dixon 8
line. In view of the bitter contest
between the regular Democrats and the
Alliance Democrats in several of the
Southern States, notably North and South
Carolina, Georgia, Alabama and Tennessee,
the colored Republicans imagine they see
good opportunity to make their votes worth
something in the coming election.
Therefore many colored Republicans have
been deprived of voting because they failed
to register at the proper time and place. 1t
appears that the regulars and Alliance men
are taking keep deeper interest in the
colored voter than ever before, and the Re-
publican leaders believe that if they can
get their colored brethren properly re-
gistered they will all vote with the Harri-
son and Reid ticket on election day.
LII OOuGH IL Is Shlu, Tue cOlOfeQ
voters will cut an Important figure In the
State primaries. When ex-Congr essman
Miller was in this city recently he stated
that the fight between the Tillman and
anti-Tillman factions was becoming so in
tense that both sides would be glad to get
the assistance of the colored voters on cleo
tion day.
Miller is one of the most crafty colored
politicians in the South, He was strong
supporter of Harrison at Minneapolis. He
has a contested election case pending be-
fore the present House of Representatives,
and his theory is that if the colored voters
once get in their names on the registration
books there will be no difficulty in
keeping them there He claims that
the colored people are not allowed to regis
ter under ordinary circumstances, but the
Alliance fight makes it possible for thou
sands of negro voters to get their names on
the poll books, providing the, necessary
funds are forwarded by the National Repub-
lican Committee to defray the registration
expenses .F

A CONVENTION PUT OFF.

Chairman Clarkson Postpones the League
Club Meeting-His Reasons for the De-
ley Purely Agriculturai-The Farmers
to Have a Chance.
NEW YORK, Aug. 15--J. S. Clarkson,
President of the National League of Repub-
lican Clubs, has issued the following notice
of the postponement of the league conven-
ton:
HEADQUARTERS REPUBLICAN NATIONAL
LEAGUE, New YORK CITY, August 15 &
The date of the Republican National
League Convention called heretofore for
Buffalo, n: Y, September l. is hereby post
poned until Thursday, September l5 This
postponement, which is done with the con-
currence and advice of Chairman Carter,
cause the earlier date would prevent the at
tendance of a large number of Republican
clubs in the Western States where the har-
vest of the various crops will not have been
finished by September l.
Bv the middle of September the party will
have perfected its organization in all
portions of the country; many new clubs
will have been organized, and much larger
number of campaign marching and uniform
clubs will be able to attend the National
Convention. The cooler weather Of the later
date will also be more favorable and induce
a larger general attendance than q conven-
ton held In the closing days of August.
The National Committee of the League
calls upon all subordinate clubs to toin
actively in stimulating the organization of
marching clubs, to the end that a rivalry
between the different State organizations
in the number OF clubs sent to the National
Convention may make the proceedings at
Buffalo more interesting and enable 1t to
give still greater energy to the important
campaign now in progress

down with the ship. Everything went well
until last night, when the wind rose, and In
a short time was blowing q gale. The
Thracisn was in ballast, and she pitched
and rolled heavily. The strain on the tow
ing hausers was SO great that she found it to
be impossible to get other lines from the
towboats to the ship, and it was equally i'm
possible for any attempt to be made to
rescue those on board the ship. The gale
increased in violence, and the towboats
were compelled to heave to to ride out the
storm.
The night was extremely dark and it is
not exactly known what happened aboard
the Thracian. The supposition is, however,
that she capsized. Those on the towboats
saw her lights for some time after she went
adrift, but they were soon lost sight Of
When day broke no trace of the Thracian
could be found and the tugs made for port,
when they reported that she had fouEdered.
The Captains wife was on board. Six
children of the Captain and his wife were
awaiting the arrival of their parents on the
landing stage at Liverpool when the news
of the disaster was broken to them. They
were stunned by the announcement.

Hard to Tell How q Successor to Warwick
VIII Be Chosen-His District Has Been
Gerrymsndered and That Causes the
Trouble.
COLUMBUS, O., Aug. Special 1.-The
death of Congressman John g. Warwick,
who was elected to represent the Sixteenth
Ohio district, composed of the counties OF
Stark, Wayne and Holmes, has raised a
complication as to his successor that is
directly traceable to the frequent gerry
Wandering of the Congressional districts
for political purposes Two years ago the
Democratic Legislature, in order to retire
Major Mckinley from Congress, changed
the district as given above, and MI. War
wick, a resident of Stark, was elected.
At the last session of the General As
sembly the districts we're again ripped up,
and Stark county put in the Eighteenth,
with Mahoning and Columbiana, thus
wiping out the old Sixteenth, as composed
when the deceased Congressman was
elected, and putting Stark into another
district with other counties, while Wayne
and Holmes are thrown into the Seven
teenth, with Coshocton and Tuscarawas
The question now arises as to whether
Mr. Warwick's successor shall be elected
from the old or new district His term
does not expire until the 4th of March next,
when the present Congress expires, and his
place must necessarily be filled by special
election. If the district had not been
changed the same person could be elected in
November for both the long and short
terms, but there are grave doubts as to the
legality of this proceeding.
MANY hold to the opinion that the cleo
tion will have to be held for his successor
in the old district, comprising Wayne,
Holmes and Stark counties, while others
maintain that the act of the Legislature
wiped out the district, and his successor
will be selected from the present Eight.

Holmes counties without Representative
in Congress, as none of the present members
of Congress live in either county in the dis
trict of which they are now a part, while
Mahoning and Columbiana would have two

The Attorney General is out of the city,
but many State officials are of the opinion

American Missionaries Doing Incalculable
Good Among the People.
SIMLA, Aug. 15.-In consequence of the
dread prevailing in Teheran, the capital of
Persia, over the invasion of cholera the
Shah has taken up his residence at camp
at Elburz, "a miles from Teheran. In the
city there is an alarming increase in the
number of cholera cases reported daily.
Every day the deaths average 300. A few
days ago the average number Of deaths was
60.
The American missionaries are doing in
calculable good. All the railways and tram
way traffic has been stopped and bazaars
have been closed. Nearly all the residents
who have been able to do SO have fed the
city. Almost all the victims of the dread
disease are from the lower classes At
Tabriz, capital of the Province of Azerbai-
jan, in Northern Persia, cholera is raging
with the most fatal effect. The city con-
tains about 175,0OO Inhabitants, and they
are dying at frightful rate. Every day the
deaths amount to several hundreds, and the
disease shows no signs of diminution in its
violence.

They Float Farther North This Year Than
Ever Known Before.
LONDON, Aug. 15.-The British ship
North, Captain Newson, at Sligo from Port
land, Ore, reports that on June II, in
latitude A s, longitude 81 W. she passed
two enormous icebergs while many more
were visible. The North sailed parallel
with solid ice barrier, the bergs ranging
from 20 to 200 feet in height, while the
open water was filled with great quantities
of broken ice. At 10 o'clock on the night
of June IL, the vessel was entirely sur
rounded by ice, and it was teareds that she
would be crushed, but fortunately toward
morning the wind changed and this ell
abled her to clear the bergs.
She had many marvellous escapes from
destruction. The bergs formed break
water so miles long, resembling large vol
canic island. This report of the North's
bears out the reports from other vessels
from around Cape Horn that the ice drift
from the Antartic ocean this season is un-
precedented, and that it has reached the
most northerly point ever known.

He bases his candidacy upon the allega-

away he met old man Parker returning. and
remarked to him: "Well, I've done him. !"
How we'll he had ''done him" appears In
the fact that on his body were found seven
bullet wounds, and that the balls extracted
were of different caliber, showing that he

of two or three would have proved fatal.

HARRITY IN GOOD HUMOR
And Confident That Things Arc All Coming
His WAY.

His WAY.
PHILADELPHIA, Aug. .-tSpecial i
"While there is n othing absolutely new
that I can say regarding the Presidential
campaign, 1 will say that from what I
gather from the leaders with whom come
in contact, the drift of sentiment is de-
cidedly encouraging" This was the sum
and substance of what Democratic Ma
tional Chairman Harrity said to-day,
in reply to numerous questions
regarding the situation. He arrived
in the city on an early train from Long
Branch, and spent several very busy hours
in his office, looking after business matters
that had accumulated during the past week,
and went to New York late in the afternoon.
His presence in the city was not generally
known, and but few of the local politicians
called upon him.
Before going away Chairman Harrity
found time to say that the campaign ma
chinery was being put in good shape very
rapidly, that considerable work was being
done at national headquarters and that the
prospects of Democratic success were never
brighter. He could not say when the Ad-
visory Committee will be named.
