SILVER REPUBLICANS
Their County Central Committee Doing
Some Very Active Work

Sutherland Hutton, the chairman of
the Silver Republican county central
committee and Nathan Cole, jr., also
an officer Of the committee, have for the
time being given up all other business
and will now until November Sd devote
their time exclusively to the campaign
The Silver Republican club will send
speakers all over Southern California to
preach the doctrine Of silver and to ad-
vocate the election Of Bryan and Barlow
The Republican managers have be-
come alarmed at the growth of the Sill
yer Republican organization. They are
now endeavoring to secure a copy of
the roll of membership in order that they
may bring pressure to bear on individ-
ual members to whip them back into
| line. A 'tinhorn" detective has been
given the contract to secure the copy
of the membership roll. But he will not
get it. The officers of the club are fully
informed as to the person and they will
see to it that his elongated frame does
not occupy very much space at Republic
can silver headquarters for any very
great length OF time.
POLITICS IN THE SEVENTH WARD
The Seventh Ward Bryan club was ad-
dressed last evening by Gen. tombstone
Jones, candidate for state senator; W. L.
Price, for the assembly In the Seventy
fourth district; Mr.. Pessell the super
visoral aspirant, and Councilman Sny-
der. Mr.. Price delivered the first pub
lie speech in his political career, in which
he evinced comprehensive grasp of
current political issues and showed him
self competent for the position to which
he aspires.
Owing to a misunderstanding arising
from change in the meeting night the
usual large audience did not turn out
at the club meeting. Arrangements have
been made to secure the hall at 61O East
Fifth street every Tuesday evening, and
hereafter the club will meet regularly
on that evening until after the cleo
ton. Reports from committees on pre-
cinct organization showed progress. Ar
rangements will shortly be made for a
grand outdoor ward meeting, at which
Gen. Jones will be one of the leading
orators.

POUNDS OF KANSAS EARTH

tory:
In celebration of our thirtieth ami
versary a liberty tree will be planted by

this city, with appropriate public exer-
cises, October 6.
AN elm tree is promised for the To-
cality where Washington passed his

doubt at Bunker Hill and from the field
where CORVALLIS surrendered, soil also
from the field where Burgoyne surren-
dered at Saratoga, and water from Lake
Champlain and Lake Erie and the Miss
issippi river We also desire to imbed
the roots of the tree in soil from every
state in the union as it is today.
I'VE therefore respectfully request
you to contribute by mail a few ounces
of earth from the state of which you
are the chief executive We should
also be extremely graihed to receive
with such contribution a brief note up
on the subject of American liberty, to
be published and preserved in connec-
ton with the event, as a part of its

NIalno. Sweden, Aug. 1.-THE news
paper Dagensnyhe1er has received COM
lnunications from DR.. Nansen and
Lieut.. Schottansen from the island of
vardoe.
These communications state that they
abandoned the Fran in the autumn of
1896 and resorted to the ice.
The steamer Windward carrying sup
plies to the JacksOn-F arnsworth ex-
petition picked them up near Franz
Josehand. They expect that the Fran
would eventually drift to the east coast
of Greenland. DR. Nansen failed to
reach the north pole, but he touched a
point four degrees nearer than any 9TH

There were no sick persons aboard
when Nansen left her.
The steamer Windward took letters
for Nansen when it started to the re-
lief of the Jackson FarnsWOrth eXpedi-
1iOn, as Mr.. Jackson expected to find
Nansen and was convinced that this
idea of drifting across the pole in the
ice was impracticable. He was also
convinced that hansen would return in
the direction of Franz Josefland.
DR.. Nansen, the Norwegian scientist
now Sc years Of age sailed from Christi
ana in June a. 1898, on a voyage of dis
eovery in the boat Fran with the in
tentiou of reaching the north pole. The
Fran was of 500 tons burden and her
sides were so constructed as to force
all ice meeting the vessel, to pass un-
screWing. The Fran was launched at
Laurwik, near Christiana, October rs,
1892, and the Norwegian parliament
gave Mr.. Nansen about S52 900 in aid of
his expedition. Funds were forthcom-
ing by private subscription, including
one Of over IS, 600 from King Oscar.
The Fran was in eVeryWay admira-
bly, equipped and had a crew of 70 men,
all of whom occupied the cabin which
measured only IS feet square and which
was heated by means Of an English
petroleum stove which consumed three
Hires of petroleum a day The Fran
had enough fuel on board to last or
years.
In an interview with DR.. Nansen pre-
vious to his departure the explorer was
quoted as saying: Having considered
route I have made UP my mind to build
a little ship. make her as strong as
possible and just large enough to carry
provisions for II men for five years.

nomination at o'clock last night at the

of his speech he said; Many of our
people believe that our present finan-

times are the result of bad financial leg
islatiOn and that an increase in the
amount of money by the free coinage
would improve these conditions. I
concur in their views that a return to
the full and free use of both Of these
Eoetals is necessary in order to keep our
circulating medium in a proper relation
to our population but 1 do not believe
the present coinage would afford US
any present relief. With more money
in circulation although we might tenn
porarily have better times, but the
sum wasted in the saloons would be
wasted so it would benefit us in no ap-
preciable way"

SILVER IN OHIO.
Mr.. Bland Predicts That it Will Sweep
the State.

New York, Aug. 14.-Richard P.Bland
who is acting as a special correspond
ent for the New York Journal during
William J. Bryan's trip to the east,
joined ME-. Bryan at Canton, and wired
his paper a description of the reception
there.
There were probably 10000 or Is, 900
people at the depot on the arrival OF
Mr.. Bryan's train. I am told by those
who live here that never before in the
history of the town was there such q
demonstration. Mr.. Bryan's speech
was received with immense enthusi-
asm.
IN talking with one of the residents
of the town, a very Well-informed gen
tleman, he told me that McKinley's
own county would cast a free silver
ma jority in November. There is no
question that the silver tide is beyond
the control of the Republican polite
ians
Il had great many callers who are
we'll posted in the politics of this coun-
ty. Alliance is ~also in Stark county,
the county of McKinley's home, and
the same information was given me
there that the silver sentiment was
carrying the agricultural districts, and
even in the towns it was in majority.
The people expressed no doubt that
Ohio will roll up silver majority in
November
