I'm Small Boat, They Are Supposed to
 Have Drifted Out to Sea.
 NEW LONDON, July 2 A searching party has been unable to locate a small boat con taining John and Bernard Kellus. sons of Superintendent Kellus, of the Stonington velvet works, who are believed to have been lost at sea. The Two lads, they were ten and eleven years old, went out Satur- day to visit the wreck of the Olina on Fishers Island. and were seen returning in the afternoon. At that time they were nine miles from home and pulling rapidly. Soon after a dense fog settled over the sound, and it IS feared the boys lost their way and were blown out to sea, or were capsized in the fog. A searching party has secured the sound, but the boys and their boat were not to be found. Their parents are nearly dis. tracted with grief.

 BALTIMORE, July 2.-No significance is attached here to the report from Rome that Cardinal Gibbons was requested hy the pope to surrender his diocese and re side in Rome. Ono of the members of the cardinals household said
 "Even admitting it to be a fact that the pope would extend to his cmincnce such an invitation, which is very unlike ly, it would be contrary to all of Cardinal Gibbons ideas to abandon the distinguish ed and responsible position as the head of the church in America to engage in the affairs of the Vatican. Cardinal Gibbons, while strong churchman, is also a very patriotic American and knows he can render the church far greater service in his present eminent station than in any which he would be called upon to occupy at Rome"

Austin, Texas, Dec. 3, 1895.
Austin, for two weeks, has
been in the throes of n political
campaign TO elect a mayor and
eleven alderman. An observer
has seen many things that have
and still curse municipalities.
The laws regarding elections
and bribery are treated as If
they wer,- not in existence, and
the pulp and push" element
are openly bought and sold.
Meetings are held at which a
price is fixed for votes, and If

here is in Austin
about 1000 votes that are con
trolled absolutely with money
and the man who secures them
generally walks into Office, no
matter what his politics are or
what his qualifications may be.
This is the curse of all cities
and The fault of il all lies at
the door of the people them
selves. hey can end it if they
would only organize and de-
termihe TO have the election
law against bribery rigidly en-
forced. All the looseness and
corruption at the polls is due
wholly to the Indifference of the
better element of society. Ii is
high time that this element was
being aroused to the importance
of having clean aud honest
elections.
The Railroad Commission
will soon issue its annual re-
port and it will be brimfull Of
figures and information that
will interest the people. The
