so far as I know, all his private statements
were aimed to secure a stable currency to
the people of the United States. The
coinage act of 1873 does not eliminate the
silver dollar from our coinage. In fact the
United States has coined since then more
silver than had been coined during the en-
tire period of our National existence before
and most of this coinage was made during
his lifetime. 1t is therefore not probable
that General Grant ever said that he would
have vetoed the act of 1878 if he had known
that the silver dollar was to be dropped
from the coinage, and I would not believe
any one who said that he heard my father
make such a remark.

prominent Democrats and silver men were
present, among them being Pyle, who was
particularly well pleased at the success of
the meeting.
MIR. Pyle's friends say that he was fond
OF gambling and frequently participated
in games of chances. There are several
disreputable gambling resorts immediately
across the Potomac from Washington, not
far from where the body was found and
as Pyle on Tuesday displayed large roll
of money it may be that he was victim
of highway robbery.
No marks were found on his BODY. II

would have been hard to discover. The
police are mystified over the affair. They

which would seem to point to suicide.
The last few nights in Washington have
been oppressively warm, and the Potomac
has been great resort for bathers, and it
is possible that Mr.. Pyle had attempted q
bath in the river, but the fact that he was
partially clothed contradicts this theory.
The drowned man wore a black diagonal
suit, an undershirt and an outing shirt.
A Bryan campaign button was on the Lapel
of his coat. Nothing was found in the
pockets but 8 memorandum book and a
silver watch bought of San Francisco
ieweler.

SUPPOSED CASE OF SUICIDE.

WASHINGTON, D. c.. Aug. 10.-The
body of A. II. Pyle of San Francisco, sec
retary of the Silver party's National Com
mittee, was this morning found floating in
the Potomac.
Mr.. Pyle was welI-known in California,
being a politician OF some note, and was
especially prominent as an advocate of
free silver coinage. He was about 35 years
of age and son of ex-Congressman Pyle
of California
Young Pyle came here week ago with
George P. Keeney, formerly of California,
out latterIy of New York. Keeney and
Pyle arrived from ST. Louis, where they
had attended the National Convention of
the Silver party. They secured quarters
or the National Party Committee at 1420
New York avenue, where Senator Stewart
of Nevada, as one of the publishers Of the
Silver knight, has his editorial sanctum.
Pyle seemed in good spirits and appar-
emily had plenty of money. He was we'll
dressed and, as far as his acquaintances
here know, had nothing to worry him.
The last time Pyle was seen alive was
last Tuesday night. On Tuesday after
noon the silver people held big meeting
at Falls Church, Va, five miles from
Washington, across the Potomac. Many

CLEVELAND, OHIO, Aug. 10.-At 4:30
P. NJ. this city was visited by the most vio-
lent windstorm that has been experienced
for many years. When the storm broke
the Government thermometer registered
90 degrees. When it cleared away, thirty
minutes later, the mark was rs. Major
Stockman of the weather bureau reported
the velocity of the wind at sixty-two miles
an hour. Telegraph and telephone wires
parted like straws and dangled in the air
from their poles; wagons were overturned
in the streets and the air was filed with
flying debris. Thousands of people, fear
ing that the experience of st. Louis was to
be repeated, sought places of safety.
Out of clear sky the elements broke in
unwonted fury. There were dozens of
pleasure craft laden with sweItering hu-
manity trying TO get relief from the
depressing atmosphere on the bosom of
the lake. Before the shippers had time to
get their crafts in readiness to meet the
hurricane the storm burst in wild fury
upon them. Lake Erie was lashed into a
mass of angry waves that tore and surged,
tossing heavy steamers and shell like
yachts about with equal ease.
The greatest excitement prevailed along
the lake front. Among the yachts which
were caught in the storm were the Pris-
ella and the Avocet. The Priscilla wealth
cred the gale and was towed into port by
a tug The Avocet was far out In the lake
and is still missing. The Clipper of Cleve-
land went down at the mouth of the river
in seventeen feet of water. There were
FIVE men aboard. Four of them swan TO
the pier, the other clung to the vessel until
rescued by the life-saving crew. They
had hardly landed when catboat loaded
with men was seen TO capsize in the basin.
The Iife-savers were quick in act ion and
succeeded in saving all of the engulfed
men.
The cup-chalIenger Vencedor had des-
perate struggle, but succeeded in entering
the harbor. Several yachts dragged their
anchors and went ashore. A large propel-
ler is ashore inside the breaKwater. The

Carcasses of a Thousand Animals
Lying Where They Fell in

CHICAGO, Ill, Aug. 1o.-Continued
heat of the most dangerous kind made
another deathroH to-day larger than Its
predecessors of the present spell, and no
hope is extended by the weather fore
caster of a cooler day tomorrow. Of the
deaths reported to the Health and Police
departments and the cases taken to the
county hospital, torty-three were recorded
as having died, directly or indirectly, from
the heat.
Among the serious cases of the scores
who were prostrated, but still live. is that
OF Very Rev. Prior Aughan of London,
brother of the English Cardinal, who ar
rived in Chicago this morning on his way
East around the world, by the advice of
his physician, because OF dropsical dis
ease. The aged preIate suffered much
from the heat during the journey from
San Francisco, and his condition was so
serious upon arrival here that the party
went TO the Auditorium Annex immedi-
ately. His secretary said he was fearful
of the result.
The temperature kept at 80 and above
from O'Clock this morning, and at l P. N.
began climbing to the nineties, reaching
81 late in the afternoon. The night
brought no relief to the suffering human
ity, anu in places on the west side. where
poverty and death link hands, there was
barely life in the burning fetid atmosphere.
The number of dead animals reported
on the streets and alleys last night was
633, the largest record for any week in the
history of the city. 1t is estimated that
over 1000 carcasses are lying in the thor
oughfares because the facilities for re-
movaI are insufficient. Half thousand
complaints OF this fact were received at
the city hall to-day. The postofice cut off
two deliveries and two collections to-day
on account of heat.
The latest reports compiled at the police
headquarters at an early hour this (Tues-
day) morning show that during Monday
there were fftY-nine deaths in the city
from heat.
OF course large mum Der of these were
people who had been stricken two or three
days. The prostrations to-day were sew
enty-seven. The total number of deaths
in the city from all causes was 164, figure
never before reached.

BRFAN AND NEBRASKA.
p Prominent Politicians Think the Man
Cannot Carry the State.


Cannot Carry the State.
CHICAGO. ILL, Aug. 10.-Frank Fl.
Wilson of Plattsmouth, Nebr., was at the
Clifton House. Wilson is connected with
the Insurance Department of Nebraska
and is lifelong Republican.
"In my opinion" said Wilson, "Ne-
braska will give Mckinley a majority of
about 10000. We shall carry Bryan's
Congressional district, the First, by ma
iority of 1000 and will have a larger
majority in the Second District. The
Democratic Populist combination will
carry the Fifth and Sixth districts, while
the Third and Fourth are doubtful The
normal Republican plurality y in the State
is something like 10000, so that a conces-
sion is made to Bryan's conceded personal
popularity in making the above estimate.
business calls me to Lincoln a great
deal, and know Bryan well. He is a man
of fine education and such marked ability
that am convinced that, whatever may
be the result of the present campaign,
Bryan will be generally recognized, ten
years hence, as the greatest statesman of
the country. In spite of having formed
this estimate of the man, shall not vote
for him, as | don't indorse his political
views. L am of the opinion that Bryan
will probably carry the city of Lincoln,
but he will be beaten in the County OF
Lancaster, in which Lincoln is located, by
plurality of 15C0. The normal Republi-
can plurality in this county is from 1900 to
24OO.
"One factor which may affect the result
| in Nebraska is The enmity which some of
the Populist leaders feel for Bryan. In
fact, know some of them will take the
stump against him and he will lose from
| 10 to 15 per cent of the Populist vote of the
State. This enmity is the result of COM
plications in regard to the past Congress
sicnal elections, when certain Populist
candidates were defeated by his advice. l
am confident that Mckinley will receive
| the electoral vote OF Kansas"

siege has left thousands helpless
TO Withstand even a moderate degree of
heat. Analysis of the death cases to-day
and yesterday show that over half were
stricken four to five days ago. From last
midnight to P. NJ. fifteen deaths were re-
ported within the city limits. The sub
urban towns are in like situation. The
prostrations are so. numerous that only
those treated at the City Dispensary and
the hospitals are recorded. These number
thirty -four to-day. The local forecast is
for continued clear weather and lower tenn
