Those naval officers who thought that
the assembling of large squadron on
idle loahng around the seaside resorts
are waking up to their mistake. 1t
is the intention of Secretary Herbert
that the squadron assembled on the
Atlantic coast shall put in some very
hard work drilling and exercising, and
in order that all the officers may get
their share Of the work orders have
been issued rcyokng all leaves of
absence, except ON account of sickness,
and directing officers ON waiting orders

There are plenty of Democrats in
Washington who do not like portions of
the platform and many more who want
ed other men nominated, but so far as
know none of them arc talking of bolt
ing, The national convention settled
the matter for them, and as good party
men they are now for the ticket. The
talk Of President Cleveland taking part
in a movement to nominate gold
Democratic ticket finds few believers
here. 1t is briclihouses to wood tooth
picks that he does nothing of the kind.
There can be only one Democratic
ticket and that has been nominated in a
regular manner by properly constitut-
ed convention. OF course after reading
the platform one cannot expect that
President Cleveland will cnthuSc over it.

WASHINGTON LETTER.

washington, July ~, 1870.
No matter what sort of Democrats you
Pennsylvania Democrats were before
the Chicago convention made the plat
form and nominated the ticket, it is
now the proper thing for you to hurrah
for the ticket and platform, and to 60
to work and render what aid you can
towards obtaining Il victory. More will
be known as to the chance the Democ-
racy has to win after the Populist and
Silver party conventions, both of which
meet at st. Louis on the 22nd inst. If
the members OF those conventions are
as devoted to the cause of silver as they
profess to be, they will nominate no
ticket of their own, but will endorse the
Democratic ticket. Should they do that
the Mckinley crowd would be the worst
frightened men in the country, and not
without good cause, either. Should the
PopuliSts and Silver Republicans get
their backs up because the Democratic
convention would not allow them to
name the ticket Mark IIannaS smile
will perccptiby broaden, but let us at
least hope that they will do nothing so
suicidal,

EX-CongreSsman White, of Tennessee,
thoroughly believes that the Democratic
party is going to win great victory
this year because of its championing the
cause of silver. He said to group of
friends in Washington hotel: 1.-Two
months ago the cause of Democracy
seemed hopeless. Now, the situation is
changed, and the opposition is
thoroughly alarmed. little while ago
it seemed impossible that the Democrats
could win even in Tennessee We will
carry the state in November by 10000
or 10000 majority. The people are ter
ribly in earnest, and the revolution is
on. If New York and Massachusetts
want to sccedc from the union am in
favor Of letting them 90, even as Horace
Greclej said of the South, Let the crring
b'cthrcn 90 in peace

General w. r. Cox, of North Carolina,
who is secretary of the senate and a
good Judge of the drift Of political sent-
ment has just returned from that state.
He says; "Thc prospects of Democratic
success in North Carolina are very en-
couraging, The nomination of strong
silver candidate and the adoption of a
free coinage platform at Chicago went a
long way toward insuring the success of
Democracy. Thousands of Populists
will vote the national Democratic ticket,
for they cannot support Mckinley with
out Stultifying themselves. And the
Republicans of North Carolina are also
for free silver. Their gubcrnatorial
candidate Judge Russell, is a silver
man and their state convention declared
for the white metal Outside OF the
protection policy, Mckinley has no spe-
cia strength in the state. Republicans
are not half us deeply interested in that
question as they are in the money issue.

MYSTERY OF A GOLD WATCH

Suicide-wili Investigate.

A gentleinan's hunting-case gold watch
was turned over to the detectives at police
headquarters this morning by two colored
women, who claimed they found it in
Lovers Lane, GeOrgetown. The names OF
the women are Annie Robinson and Hester
Carter. both " No. 33S I-2 Knox's alley
The watch is a small one, heavily filled
case, and neatly engraved. A chain and
charm were attachedtoit- Inthecharm W as

the brunette type. about twenty-five years
Of age, There were no initials or name on
the watch or charm.
The detectives are mystified over the
find. and, while they are inclined to the
belief that the watch " as merely lost, they
do not deny the possibility OF either foul
pifsy or a suicide.
Lovers Lane is winding, shady avenue,
little wider than a single wagon path.
leading north from Massachusetts avenue
to U street. near Oak Hill Cemetery Rock
Creek lies beyond.
The women are in service, and were re-
turning from their work about : 80 O'Clock
last evening, when the Carter woman spied
the ticker lying in the grass at the side OF
the path. When she picked the timepiece
up it was still running.
They 81 W no one in the ncighborhood save
gardener working in yard west OF the
lane. He said he had seen no one pass for an
hour.
The theory of foul play is not credited
as strongly us that OF suicide, though lust
why man should throw his watch away
and then walk a considerable distance to
his death, is not easily seen.
Still another theory is that some light
fingered gent took possession of the watch
and then threw 1t away for fear Of detec-
tion. An investigation will be made.
