A PARTY OF THE PAST.
What senRtor-Efect Cnrter Says of
the POpulists in Montana.


the POpulists in Montana.
Senator-elect Carter of Montana, chair
man of the national republican executive
committee, reached Washington today
from his state. where he has spent the
past six weeks. Mr.. Carter will leave
the city this evening to join his family,
now summering in the vicinity of Bar
Harbor, Maine. He will probably be with
his family some time.
Business is moving along very well in
Montana" said Mr.. Carter to a Star re-
porter today, although the silver mines
are still closed down. The people of my
state who have looked toward the mines
for their industry are now turning their
attention to other things.
Very little interest is being taken in
politics in Montana at present. The people,
as by common consent, are dropping that
subject for the summer and are seeking
some cool place for the hot months"
Are the silver people of Montana look
ing toward the populistS as a party which
may receive their support. because they
come out squarely for free siIver?" the re-
porter asked
garded as a party of the past, The peo-
pie are not looking to it, and 1t is
not gaining strength at present"
Are the republicans of your state still
hopeful that the national republican party
will recognize their claims on the silver
question when the national convention
meets?'
There is really nothing to say. on the
political outlook. A year or a mosth may
ent it is impossible to draw any conclu-
sion"

Probable Program.
although we have no definite knowledge
of Admiral Bunce's program" said an Of
fetal of the Navy Department, there is
little doubt that in its early stages at least
it will be confined to simple evolutions, so
that the commander-in-chief can form
some conclusions as to what the vessels
can do. If he were to attempt any difficult
evolutions at the start there might be a
repetition of the tctorfa-CamperdOwn ac-
cident No, Admiral Bunce is too level
headed an officer to attempt to solve heavy
problems unless he has led up to them by a
series of maneuvers which have thoroughly
trained the fleet under him. There is little
doubt in my mind that he will have easy
formations during the first part of the
cruise, such as line ahead, column of sec
tions and other simple evolutions, and af-
ter he has gagged what the vessels can do
he will then go little deeper into maneu-
vers. and by gradual stages lead up to the
more difficult drills. The drill will wind up
in October with target practice and the
fleet will then disperse.
Zone of the Intentions of the Secretary
in these mane,lvers Is to have the new tao
teal drill book followed so that he may be
able to ascertain what it's value is. This
book has just undergone revision at the
hands of board of officers, assembled in
Washington, upon which We're some of the
best tacttcians in the navy. Copies of this
book will be furnished to each of the COM
manding officers of the vessels in the squad
ron and they will be required to give study
to it. In many points 1t will be followed
by the admiral, and he will report upon its
value when the cruise Is ended"

End This Morning of n Long Period
of Ill Health.
DANSVILLE, N. Y, August 5.-Mrs. T.
Dewitt Talmage died here at $50 this
morning.
Since the burning of the Brooklyn Taber-
nacle last year Mrs. Talmage has suffered
from nervous prostration, and she has
never fully recovered from the shock sus-
tanned then. The fire broke out while
the doctor was holding his usual Sunday
reception, and a large number of parish
toner's and visitors were In the church
at the time They all made good
their escape, but DR.. Talmage went
back into the burning edifce for something
he had left behind During his absence
Mrs. Talmage,. who. with other members
of the family, was outside awaiting
his temperance, became greatly excited
and alarmed for the doctors safety. AS
soon as she was informed that he was all
right she broke down completely. her over
wrought nerves being unequal to such
strain.
Her doctors suggested European trip to
build up her failing health. She was ac
companied to Europe BY the Misses Maud
and Daisy Talmage. While in Rome she
became i'll, with Roman fever, and, ac-
companed by one of her physicians, she
returned honc. While staying at the fam
ily's summer residence, near East Hamp-
ton L. l., she appeared to improve, and her
friends had hopes for her speedy recovery.
This was not to be, however, as she
soon had a relapse of the periods of ex-
haustion and nervous prostration. The
sufferer was removed to the Dansville
Sanitarium about year ago.
While DIR. Talmage was absent on
lecturing tour in the west last week he
received telegram summoning him to
bis wifes bedside. He at once Cancelled
all his engagements and hastened back,
to find that there was little hope of the
patient's recovery, and he remained with
her until the end came this morning.
The deceased was the second wife Of
Dr. Talmage. His first wife was drowned
while boating, In 1862. leaving a daughter.
Miss Jessie, and son, who has since
died. Within two years afterward the

GORMAN AND LAMONT
The Maryland Senator Confers With the
Secretary Of War.
The Coming State Campaign Believed
to Have Been the Subject
Under Confederation.

Senator German was at the War Depart
ment today and had a conference with Sec
retary Lamont. The Senator seldom visits
the departments, and his presence today
gave rise to considerable speculation. In
view of the attitude of the administration
people in Maryland toward the state ticket
nominated by the convention controlled by
Mr. Gorman's friends it was guessed that
the interview had to do with this matter.
Mr.. German and Secretary Lamont are on
quite friendly terms. About the only re-
lations the Maryland Senator has with the
administration are through him. Moreover,
Lamont Is the politician of the adminfstra-
ton, and Is more apt than any other close
to Mr.. Cleveland to understand the i'm
portance Of holding the democrats of Mary
money man. and the platform on which :he
German candidate was nominated for gov
ernor Endorsed the administrations finan-
cial policy strongly.
A Probable Suggestion.
1t IS believed that Mr.. German suggested
to MIR. Lamont that if the Cleveland demo-
Gratis succeeded In defeating the democrats
in Maryland the platform would go with
the candidates. There is a general belief
that the contest in Maryland is going to be
a heated one and very close, and If the
Cleveland people bolt the democratic ticket
1t may bring defeat.
Mr.. Lamont might be easily made to un-
derstand that the administration cannot be
benefited in the fight for Sound money! by
a party defeat in Maryland. Though not
at all friendly to Mr.. Cleveland, he Is the
strongest of the sound money" democrats
in the Senate, where most of the party are
on the other side of the question. He is
the only sound money democrat in the
Senate who has considerable influence
among those of his party with whom he
disagrees on this question. Consequently
he Is In position to be of great service in
smoothing out troubles over that question,
which may perplex the administration dur
Ing the next Congress.
The Administration Democrats.
knowledge of these conditions led to the
guess that Mr.. German pointed out to Mr..
Lamont some Of the disadvantages which
might come to the party If, in the name
Of Cleveland. the administration demo-
Gratis carried their fight against him te-
yond the convention, where they were de-
feated, into the campaign.
