Gov. Buchanan to Run on the
Farmers Ticket.
THE DEMOCRATS IGNORED HIM
Meeting Of the Republican National
ernor vetoes . Costly Bill.

NASHVILLE, Aug. 15.-John P. Buchanan,
governor of this state, has bolted the NOM
inee Of the Democratic party for governor.
and today in lengthy address announced
that he is an independent candidate for gov
ernor. and asks the suffrage of all citizens
regardless of party affiliations. He bases
his candidacy upon the allegations that he
has been called upon by a majority in the
rank and file to run; that he and his
friends were trated badly by the Demo-
cratic conventions in county and state;
that he represents the true Jefferson
ian Democracy, and that the Democratic
convention which refused to nominate
him renounced the true principles Of
Democracy enunciated in former plat
forms. Governor Buchanan's independ-
ent candidacy was expected, and little
surprise was expressed when the public
announcement appeared.
The Peoples party will meet in state
convention on Thursday next to nominate
candidate for governor, and this fact
fastened Governor Buchanan's announce
ment, for an independent candidate will
be Endorsed by the convention. There are
now four candidates for governor in the
state.
buchanan Is a member of the Farmers ALI
ance. He was burned in efiigy week ago for
committing the sentence of II. Clay King, the
murderer. The striking miners of the state are
now rioting, and have set aside the law ever
since Buchanan was inaugurated.]

and Jake became Jealous of an old Indian whom
he accused OF endeavoring to steal the affections
of his kloochman, and proclaimed his intention
of carving the old man into sausage meat
Johnny interfered and the enraged Jake
turned his attention to him, and inflicted
an ugly flesh wound five or six inches long
across the breast, and slash across the abdomen
eight inches long, from which the omentum pro-
truded for several inches. DR.. Warren, OF this

Government Still Paving Out Gold.

New YORK, Aug. ia crucial test of
the policy of the government was made to-
day, when Heidelbach, Yekelheimer &
Co. rendered 1000, 900 in treasury notes
issued on account Of silver purchases and
demanded for them $1,000, 900 in gold
for shipment to Germany by tomorrow's
steamer. The treasury officials made no
demur, but paid out the money. The
transaction caused comment, as no home
institution or home banking firm
had ever in the history of the
government made like demand
on the treasury, and in some quarters the
impression prevailed that the exporting
firm took the step, not so much to take
profit on the shipment, which itself is too
insignificant for the bank or firm to con-
slider, but really for the pur-
pose of forcing crisis. Assist
ant Treasurer Roberts SAID no steps
had been taken by the adj
ministration to prevent or obstruct the ex-
port of gold. The government stands
ready to meet all obligations in gold. and
will pay them all in gold. 1t is said the
free gold balances now amount to $ll2,-
100000. By this statement of Treasurer
Roberts it is clear the govern ment has
already decided TO pay all silver treasury
notes in gold if demanded.

Cho,er. Checked in Russia.

ST.. PETERSBURG. Aug. b.-It is
officially announced that cholera is
disappearing in Mini Novgorod. The
number of fresh cases is daily lessen
ing, and the mortality is small.
The cholera situation is more favorable
here. Yesterday only twelve deaths were
reported. Official reports show that
throughout the infested districts the daily
average is s,s01 new cases Of cholera and
4,2ss deaths.
SIMLA. Aug. BIN consequences Of the
dread prevailing in Teheran over the in
vasion of cholera, the shah has taken up
his residence at a camp at Elbursz, twenty
four miles from Teheran. In that city there
has been an alarming increase in
the number of cholera cases. The
deaths average 800 daily. American Prot
estant missionaries are doing incalculable
good at the hospitals. All railway and
tramway traffic is stopped and the
bazars closed. Nearly all the resi-
dents who are able to do so have
fed the city. Almost all the victims Of
the disease are from the lower classes. At
Tabris cholera is raging with the most
fatal effect. Every day the deaths amount
to several hundreds, and the disease
shows no signs of diminution in its vio-
lence

The GIaci., Fields Of Idaho.

BOISE, Idaho, Aug l5.-An immense
glacial field has been discovered in an UNI
explored region of Central Idaho by f. 3.
Schermerhon, geologist and mineralogist,
who is working in the interest of Idaho's
exhibit at the Worlds fair. Under date of
August he writes to Commissioner Wells
as follows:
As came over the divide into Big creek saw

able to get up to that snow. They
lso told me many had tried II and failed. All
had tried to take horses with them. I deter

white men decreased until they disappeared
altogether. The country through which I
made my way was the widest and toughest OF
any through which ever travelled. In point Of
grandeur and picturesque beauty, the view from
the peaks rivals anything In mountain scenery in
the United States. Beneath the glacier fields
found series OF glacial lands. The glacial fields
are quite extensive. They probably cover nearly
a. great an area, though not SO thick, az the
great glacial fields OF the Alps. I examined
sixteen terminal moraines. OF this number

one advancing. None that ] saw extended

The writer says that the glaciers are

of Shoup. amid q number of very high
peaks that are not down on the maps.

lceberes About Cape Horn.

LONDON, Aug. 15.-The British ship North,
Captain Newsome, has arrived at Sligo from
Portland, Or. The vessel reports that on June
IL, in latitude A south, longitude 81 west, she
passed two enormous icebergs, while many
more were visible ahead. The North sailed
north with a solid ice barrier, the bergs ranging
from 20 to 200 feet high, while the open water
was filled with great quantities OF broken ice.
At 10 O'Clock on the night of June II the vessel
was entirely surrounded by ice and it was feared
that she would be crushed, but fortunately
toward morning the wind changed and enabled
her to clear the bergs She had many marvel
GUS escapes from destruction. The bergs formed
a breakwater fifty miles long and resembled q
large volcanic island. This report of the North's
bears out the reports from other vessels from
around Cape Horn that the ice drift from the
Atlantic ocean this season Is unprecedented and
that it has reached the most northerly point
ever known

OBJECTS OF THE BUREAU.

Its Purposes Set Forth in Concise Form
by Superintendent Dooley.
e. T. Dooley. superintendent Of the
Bureau of Associated Charities. has had
printed a card which. in addition to giving
the location of the bureau in the Seattle
bank building and the names of the
directors, also gives information concern
ing the purposes of the association as fol-
lows:
First-To be a center of intercommuni-
cation between the various churches and
charitable agencies in the city. To foster
harmonious cooperation between them
and to check the evils Of overlapping re-
lief.
Second-To investigate thoroughly and
without charge the cases of all appli-
cants for relief which are referred to the
society for inquiry, and to send the per-
sons having legitimate interest in such
cases full reports of the results of investi-
CATION. To provide visitors who shall per-
sonally attend cases needing counsel and
advice.
Third-To obtain from the proper chart
ties and charitable individuals suitable
and adequate relief for deserving cases.
Fourth-To procure work for poor per-
sons who are capable of being wholly or
partially self-supporting.
Fifth-To repress beggary by the above
means and by the prosecution of impos-
tors.
Sixth-To promote the general welfare
of the poor by social and sanitary reforms
and by the incubation of habits of provI-
dence and self-dependence.
The bureau never interferes with the in
dependent existence, funds or legitimate
work of any other organization, wheth er
associated with it or not. It aims to avoid
publicity in dealing with the worthy poor.
Sympathy and personal work are its in
dispensable agenoies-its beneficiaries be-
ing treated with view to their permanent
good. Utmost care is observed to avoid
questions of belief or politics. 1t is sup
ported entirely by voluntary contribu-
tions.

DARING ROBBERY IN TACOMA.

TACOMA, Aug. l5.-[Special. Five min
utes after Adolph Miron locked his jew
eiry shop on Eleventh street, between G
and Railroad streets, and went to dinner
today two burglars, well-dressed and gen.
tlemanly in appearance, entered the back
doors. They took off their hats and coats
and quickly scooped all the jewelry
in sight into sacks and disappeared.
Dozens of people passing the store saw the
burglars at work. but thought nothing
wrong as they seemed perfectly at home
among the showcases. Trays of rings and
watches were removed from the show
window, fronting on one of the most
prominent and frequented streets, and in
some cases trays and all were hustled into
sacks. All the watches which Miron was
repairing for customers were stolen,
besides fifty gold watches, twenty
five silver ones, together with
general assortment of jewelry amounting
to 5000. The burglars seemed to know
Miron's habits. Usually he is absent but
twenty minutes at lunch but today, his
wife being sick, he was gone nearly an
hour. The jimmy used in forcing the rear
door was left behind. A police officer
claims to have passed during the time the
burglars were at work and saw nothing
wrong. There is no clue.

A Saloon Burglarized.

The rear door of the Casino saloon, 800
Yesler avenue. of which Z. g. Zachar is
proprietor, was found open at 2
o'clock this morning and the matter
reported to the police. Lieutenant Thorn
went down and found the money drawer
pulled out of its place and lying on the
floor broken. Four empty cigar boxes near
the open door indicated that their contents
had been pocketed and the boxes left in
side to avoid detection. 1t is probable
the door had been unlocked
with a pass-key and the burglar
was in too much of hurry
leaving to lock it again. Whether any
money had been left in the drawer by the
proprietor was not learned. If there was,
he is out just that much.

Kennedy returned this afternoon with a
man named Graves. who is wanted for
stealing cattle. 1. p. Larson not long
since missed three cows, and they were

The thief was traced to Fairhaven, thence
to Everett, Marysville and Snohomish.
At the latter place Graves stole boat and
went down the river to Everett, where he
took up his abode in small cabin in the
brush. at which place Constable Kennedy
arrested him. He said he had sold the
third COW in Fairhaven. Graves is an old
offender in Blaine, having confined his
operations mostly to poultry and garden
truck heretofore, sometimes catching a
whole flock of a neighbours chickens with
hook and line. He says he will plead
guilty to the last offense. The saddest
part of his crimes is that he has always
been accompanied by a little son, who
will likely go the same way. Nearly all
his crimes have been committed to satisfy
