SILVER AND THE WAR.
What Bullion Brokers in New York
Have to Say.


Have to Say.
NEW YORK. August 22.-The Wall street
reporter Of the Associated Press talked with
the leading bullion brokers Of this city to-
day on the silver question In the connection
with the war between China and Japan.
The drift Of opinion is that up to the pres
ent time the demand for silver has come
from spectators. They profess to know OF
no direct buying for China, and say that In
making prices they entirely follow the Lon
don market. One prominent bullion broker
said today's rise in silver was probably as
sisted by the introduction yesterday by
johnson Of North Dakota Of q bill for the
unlimited coinage Of silver. The demand
had not been very heavy during the past
few days, and there was a disposition on
the part Of London to deal in futures in
silver, from which 1t was concluded that
the purchasing was not for immediate ship
ment on buying orders from China, but
rather In expectation Of an advance.
At the New York agency Of the Hong
Kong and Shanghai banking corporation il
was said that after the rise following the
outbreak of the China-Japan war the mold
ers of silver in this country didn't show any
anxiety to sell. and that the offerings py
the smelters was very light until today
when the Offering became very large. There
had been, 1t was said, some smull buying
for China, but the great bulk Of The pur-
chases were undoubtedly speculative.
The recent Chinese loan Of 1u,OOuOO0 taeis
equal to $IOO.OOO Of our money-was a Sill
yer loan, but If a large war loan were is
sued II would likely be in gold. The uses to
which the money would be put-the pur-
chase of war material, the hitting out of
war vessels and the payment Of debts con-
tracted out Of China for war purposes-in-
clined the agency to the belief that gold
would be demanded and that, therefore. a
Chinese loan should not necessarily result
In advancing the price Of silver. The
% ill,
just now and did not look for any great
additional RISE 1t had large offerings to-
day and thought that perhaps the smelters
had held their product too long.

His Reelection.

For several days past news has been
coming from West Virginia that would in
dicate the ultimate defeat Of Senator
Camden for reelection to the Senate. The
first returns received from the state indi-
Gated that the Camden men had been de-
feated at the preliminary election. But in

counties. Camden men have also been
nominated for the legislature in Webster,

thirty-two Senators answered the roll call
eleven less than a quorum.
A consultation was Immediately held
among the democratic Senator'S. Mr.. Black
burn Ry) urging that the absentees might
as well be sent for today as tomorrow. The

to be in the same line. as Mr.. Harris Tenn }
moved that the sergeant-at-arms be d.
rected to request the presence Of absent
Senator's, which was agreed to.
There was a long delay while the list Of
absentees was being made up for the SER

AN OFFICERS DISPUTE.
Trouble Between Commander FOlgcr
and Lieut.. Field.

Trouble Between Commander Folgcr
and Lieut.. Field.
A dispute has arisen between Commander
Folger. commanding the Bennington, Of the
Bering sea fleet, and Lieut.. Field, attached
to that vessel. According to the story,
Commander Folger placed the Junior officer
under arrest for failing to make an entry
in the log, which, it has turned out, should
not have been there. The, commander be-
lieved he saw land and directed that the
fact be noted by Lieut.. Field. who was the
officer Of the deck. The lieutenant remon-
strated however, as the lookout had not
reported land, and there was no reason for
believing any near by. When the comman-
der discovered his mistake, instead Of re-
leasing Lieut.. Field. he still held him under
arrest and suspension from duty. 1t is said
that the officials Of the Navy Department
consider that Lieut.. Field has been i'm
properly treated, and that Acting Secretary
Ramsey has sent reprimand to Com
mander Folger for his action.

by the tariff bill changes, as the consump-

Gardiner Hall Republicans.

This great public assembly room was filled as it had never been filled before. Most of the Spanish citizens of PhenIx and vicinity had assembled there to hear Gen. A. J. Sampson. His address referred to them as en industrious and honest nationality, as loyal to the land of their adoption as to the country of their nativity. They were, he said, of the large army of those who live by labor, and labor is remunerative and readily obtained only under good and wise laws. Such laws had been made by Republicans and had been set aside by Democrats. He showed them the friendliness of Governor Murphy to the laboring man, and what he had accom- plished for all classes in Phoenix. The speech was strong and effective one, and was frequently interrupted by loud "vivas!" At the close of this speech General Sampson left for the opera house.
 Judge Webster Street addressed the English speaking portion of the audi ence. His convincing manner which was employed to so good advantage in other parts of the territory was brought into play with effective results. The applause he received from time to time proved the effect of his words upon his large audience.
 He was followed by Judge Israel in a brief. ringing and stirring address on the advantages which would result to the masses in the election of the Re publican ticket in Maricopa county, in Arizona and throughout the country.
 Col. Fitch, who had opened the meeting at the opera house, was es- corted to the platform and further enthused the audience.

Two Men Overpower a Clerk and
 Obtain Jewelry Worth $6,OOO.
 CHICAGO, Nov. 1.-Two robbers made a bold play this afternoon in down. down jewelry store, which netted them about $6,0O0 worth of watches and jewelry, and the police have not caught them yet. Soon after 2 o'clock G. W. Brethauer, the senior mem Der of the wholesale jewelry firm of Brethauer & Co.,, No. II Washington street, left the office to go to Marshall Fields retail store around the corner and left his son in charge. Young Brethauer was bending over a showcase when the robbers entered. One carried a revolver and the other brandished murderous looking piece of lead pipe. The jeweler WAS ordered to hold up his hands, which he did, and then he was told to enter the vault. the door of which stood open. He he's itated and was thrown in by robber, who gripped his throat. The door was closed and the desperate thieves bundled the contents of showcases and cashbox into sack. The work occu pied only few minutes, and when the father of the imprisoned jeweler re- turned he suspected nothing. A com mercial traveller soon came in and heard the noise of pounding on the vault door. The discovery of the ex- hausted prisoner and the robbery was then made, but there was no trace of the robbers.

 The wasp came out last Saturday with five pages of matter profusely ill., ustrated, purportlng to be history of McEwen's life since his advent on the Pacific coast.
 McEwen was referred to in anything but, plimentary terms.
 The whole trouble is one result of the style of "lively" journalism inaugural ed by Mr. Flynn's accuser when he be- gan the publication of Arthur Ewen' $ Letter.

Republicans at the Opera House.

At the opera house such scenes of en- thusiasm were enacted as stir with pride any Republican heart. As the bonfires in the street below grew dim the sounds of music and hurrying feet scrambling for places above grew louder. In a few minutes every seat was occupied, floor, gallery box and hall was packed and both entrances choked with men, women and children anxious to see and hear.
 Hon. Thomas Fitch, the nestor of the Pacific coast, but few hours off the cars, after a long and tedious journey from St. Louis, was introduced by Dr.. l.. H. Goodrich and opened the speak ing of the evening. The immense audi ence which cheered at the mention of his name howled with delight upon his appearance and then settled, as he be- gan, into silence in confident expecta- tion of linguistic aud intellectual treat. Nor were they disappointed. Launching forth into the middle of his subject the eloquent speaker proceeded to draw picture after picture of the prosperity of our nation at the expiration of the term of office of the Republican party. The word paint ings of Col. Fitch were vivid and real istic. His auditors, hypnotized by the charm of his rhetoric, saw the chim- nevs flaming, heard the anvils ringing and looms humming with protective in- dustry. The American workman was followed into his cozy cottage and even the school books of his children opened

READY! FIRE! Close of the Great Cam-
 palgn. Lines of Battle Tensely
 Drawn. THE LAST MASS MEETING. The Blare of Bands and Glare of Bonfires. Voters Have Their Last
 Inspiration. Streets Paraded Until After Midnight by Confident and Very Enthusiastic Re-
 publicans.
Voters Have Their Last
 Inspiration.

The politicall heat which has been generating for weeks eliminated in in- tensity yesterday (there never was hotter day Tn Phenix) and broke out into blazing bonfres at last. The glare lit up Washington street from Gar diners hall to the court house and South Center street took on fiery grandeur. The campaign was closing ae no other campaipn had ever closed in Arizona.
 The superior foresight of the Repub- lican managers had secured the opera house and Gardiner's hall, the only two audience rooms in the city of con- venient size. The Democrats were forced to take the public speaking stand in the rear of the court house. The Populists built bonfire in front of the Gazette office to the intense disgust of the editor and erected a stand of their own. The blare of brass bands succeeded the first glare of the bonfres and in half an hour it looked as if every man, won an and child in town vas g politician. If the census taker had COIu0 dTOuuu l6 WOulu udNS Su0SeGu Phoenix at 10000 and would have en- tered it so in his official report.
 The streets became impossible for time, but at length the crowd began to divide and the different divisions move in the direction of the various rallying places. The larger crowd went to the opera house and Gardiner's hall, but at length the rooms were filled to the point of sufocation, and stairways and corridors became crowded. Those who could not get III went away-some to their homes and others to the outdoor meetings of the Democrats and Popu- lists.
 The audience at the plaza was a large but shifting one, and respect ably size crowd attended the Populist meeting at the corner ot Center and Jefferson.
