REPUBLICAN LEAGUE.
Al. Important Mesung of the Executive
Committee - Treasurer Elected = Plan,
for Campaign Work.


Al. Important Meeung of the Executive
Committee - Treasurer Elected = Plans
for Campaign Work.
CHICAGO, Aug. 15.-Twenty-two mem
bers of the executive committee of the
National Republican League assembled
at the Great Northern hotel yesterday,
held two sessions and adjourned to Oc-
tober is, after accomplishing much
work of interest to the party. Thirty
seven states and territories were rep
resented, besides the College Leagueo of
Republican Clubs, and every republic
an talked enthusiasticall of victory at
the state and national elections. The
presiding officer was Gen. E. A. Nc
Alpin, of New York president of the
Republican National League. The let
ters and reports he has received from
his assistants in the states indicated a
bright republican outlook. He will
sail for Europe next Saturday and on
his return, October 5, will buckle on
the harness until the next president of
the United States has been elected.
When it was decided yesterday to or
ganize Il league in'Arizona, Gen. Nc
Alpin contributed $500 to help the COM
mitteeman from the territory to carry
out the ideas of the committee. The
Minnesota representatives contributed
$1,000 The president, secretary and
treasurer were named as a committee
on finance to raise all the money posi-
BILE to carry on the campaign. There
was a strong sentiment at the opening
of the meeting in favor of moving the
headquarters from Chicago to New
York or Washington, because the
league has to pay for its rooms here
and there is an apparent indifference
as to whether the headquarters are
kept here or not. On behalf of the re-
publicans of the District of Columbia,
D. A. Ray, of Washington, offered the
free use of suite of rooms at Wizards
hotel for year, and the committee
was on the verge of accepting the offer
when Congressman Brewster, of New
I York, made plea for the metropolis.
The upshot of the matter was that the
president, secretary and Mr.. Campbell
were selected to receive the offers for
mally and the best one will be accepted
at the October meeting Ex-Congress-
man Aaron 7. Bliss, of Saginaw, Mich.
was unanimously elected treasurer of
the league.
The salary of Secretary M. j. Dow
ling was fixed at $4,000, beginning Au-
gust /. Ex-Presidents Thurston, Clark
son and Tracy and cx-Secretary
Humphrey were made advisory mem
bers of the executive committee. There
was considerable discussion as to the
best method of organizing the league
for campaign work. The plan in oper-
alton in Iowa was described and the
opinion was that it could not be i'm
proved on as far as practical results
showed. A call will be issued in few
days from headquarters here to all the
league clubs to organize and be ready
for instructions from the committee in
| October.

OCEAN CITY, Nd, Aug. 19.-Seven
lives paid the penalty Saturday OF the
overcrowding of a small sailboat and
the unreasoning fright Of the women
aboard who, by springing to one side
when the little craft shipped some
water. overturned it and threw its oc-
cupants into the water. The boat con-
tained ten persons and of these only
three were rescued The dead are:
William Storrs, aged As, a sign painter;
his wife, Mrs. Laura Storrs, aged SS;
their two daughters, Ida and Eva, IA
and 1G years respectively; Lulu and
Lena Hall, sisters, aged 16 and IS years
respectively, Of Bishopville, Del, and
Miss Myrtle Stevens, aged IA years, OF
Selbyville, Del.
The bodies of Storrs, his wife and
two daughters and Miss Stevens have
been recovered, but those of the Hall
girls are still in the water. Mrs. Storrs
was native of this place and since
her marriage she and her husband and
children. who resided in Philadelphia,
have spent their vacation here every
summer. Saturday Mr.. Storrs made
up sailing party. The boat OF Will
liam Hudson was engaged for the
party, Hudson's boat was small one
and when nine persons came down to
the wharf to embark he protested
against so many people going in her.
Mr.. Storrs jested his objections aside
and further said that as the water was
shallow near shore where they in
tended to sail, that there would be nc
danger The party crowded into the
boat and the start was made for Ham
mock Point. The point was safely
reached and Hudson tackled towards
the inlet. In shifting from one side tc
the other of the passengers, the boat
keeled and shipped a few bNcketsful o.
water The keeling of the boat fright
ened the women and some OF then
sprang to their feet. This sudder
movement threw the boat over and II
capsized and the entire party were
thrown into the water.
The bodies were in horrible STATE
when drawn to the surface. The crabi
had eaten the flesh from the faces, thu
eyes were gouged out and the fnger
chewed off to the knuckles. Unavail
ing efforts were made to find the bodies
of the Hall girls and the search TO
them will be resumed to-day.

Two Workmen Drop $50 Feet With n
Girder They Were Placing in New
Building.
CHICAGO, Aug. 14.-The mammoth
Coliseum show building, which is being
erected opposite the worlds fair
grounds on Sixty-third street, was the
scene of fatal accident to two work.
men yesterday. Samuel Mccartney and
r. Mcneil were instantly killed by the
fall of a massive cross beam of iron.
Five hundred men were at work in the
open space bounded by the four walls,
placing and bolting iron girders which
are to span the width of the structure.
Mccartney and Mcneil were perched
on one of the girders, $50 feet in the
air. They crept to the center of the
beam in order to put the bolts in posi-
tion, when they felt it shake. The
ends had not been fastened to the
walls. Workmen shouted from below,
but the warning came too late. The
great beam swayed for a moment, then
overbalanced and toppled to the
ground, carrying the occupants to
death. Their bodies were shockingly
mangled. Scores of worlmen barely
had time to escape being struck by the
falling beam.

tlement committee will meet and sign
the contractors who wish to renew the
old agreement. The men who are en-
ployed in the twenty-five shops which

THE GOLD RESERVE.
The Bond Syndicate VIII Protect the
S1OO,OOO,OOO Fund in the Treasury.

The Bond Syndicat. viii Protect the
S1OO,OOO,OOO Fund in the Treasury.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 14.--Evidence that
the Belmont-Morgan bond syndicate
intend to protect the gold reserve OF
the treasury against raids upon it for
export to Europe was received yester-
day at the treasury department by Act
ing Secretary Curtis A telegram from
Acting Treasurer Muhleman reached
him stating that j. P. Morgan u Co.
had deposited S1,846,OOO in gold coin
in exchange for United States notes,
A previous telegram to the department
contained the information that 100000
in gold coin had been withdrawn from
the sub-treasury for export to-day.
With this deposit of gold by the syndi-
cate their total deposits since gold eX-
ports have been resumed on a large
scale reached total of $3,S4G,O 900.
1t is estimated here that with eX-
change at the high figure quoted
1907 @40O%-a net profit of $4,000 on
each 100000 gold exported is made
by the shippers. Treasury officials are
much gratifed at the action of the syn
dicate and it is construed to mean that
they will not permit the gold reserve
to fall below $10O,OOO,0OO.
New YORK, Aug. 14.-The govern
ment bond syndicate yesterday added
Sl,34G, 900 to the gold reserve in the
United States treasury. The deposit
was made at the sub-treasury here.
The syndicate is to supply more gold.
Arbuckle Bros, the well-known coffee
importers, yesterday withdrew $3.50, 900
in gold for shipment to Europe. The
withdrawal, it is stated, was made only
after meeting of the members of the
bond syndicate.
AS the story runs, the syndicate, af-
ter close investigation discovered that
although the members were adhering
to their original contract in regard to
the gold shipments, two well known
firms, instead of appearing in the mat
ter themselves, used the house which
has recently done the bulk OF the ship
ping of gold. 1t has been said for some
time that Crossman IL Bro. were not
forwarding gold in such large quanti-
ties to make payments on the FIRMS ac-
count, but that its bills were sold
against the gold for the profits accru-
ing from such operations. Arbuckle
Bros. are competitors of Crossman 81
Bro. and shared in the bond syndicate
profits, whereas Crossman 81 Bros.
were not in that deal
The syndicate members, it is evident,
have discovered treachery in the camp
and have taken steps to punish the Of
tenders. When the inside facts are
known they are likely to cause commo'
ton in financial circles. Having made
enormous profits through participation
in the syndicate operations, it was moi
believed for a moment that any of the
foreign exchange houses would ship
gold and thus hamper the Belmont
Morgan interests, which have beer
striving to keep the treasury gold re
serve as high as possible.
