country should join in this agitation,
for Presidential elections always dis
turb business more or less. As things
are now. every Presidential election
involves a possibility of a change in the
financial and commercial policy of the
country and promotes doubt and tim
idity in business circles.
If the proposed change says the
Times. shall ever be engrafted in the
Constitution it must be brought about
through the influence of business in
terests. The politicians who originate
many political issues will fight shy of
this one or op. .ose it openly, for their
ends are often best served by frequent
elections and the continuous political
agitation. The Trades League has
therefore determined to try and enlist
the 1000 commercial organizations in
the United States in this movement.
If it can secure the cooperation Of
these bodies. the demand for the change
will then have behind it a popular SEN
timent which legislators and politicians
will be compelled to treat with respect.
THE BICYCLE GiHL's GRIEVANCE.
1t appears that the bicycle girl has
been subjected to an outrage on her
sex by the heartless, unsympathetic
and autocratic insurance companies.
OF all the wrongs to which woman is
compelled to submit to-day at the
hands of the tyrant male creation, this
last is the most reprehensible.
The accident insurance companies
refuse to insure her when she goes
awheeling. They will insure the male
rider but the sweet, helpless bicycle
girl is shut out from their protection.
What is the cause of this discrimin-
alton against the gentler sex? The
risk in the case of bicyclists is regard
ed as good. One-third of the claims of
accident policies, it is true, come from
bicyclists. vet the companies do not re-
gard the issuance of such policies as
extra hazardous. But woman is ex-
Guided from the privilege Of insurance
against harm while taking a spin in the
city or country. The companies did at
first issue policies with regard to sex,
but now they say that so many claims
for imaginary injuries were made upon
them by women that they would have
been bankrupted if half of them were
paid.
The companies are possibly right.
The strength of nerve and the general
Improvement of physical condition
which the bicycle has developed among
women have not deprived them of their
natural hankering after bargains Wo-
man has tried to get the better Of the
insurance companies as she gets the
better of salesman at the bargain
counter. but she has got left The in
surance company is something which
even a woman cannot get the best Of.

They Are Sweeping Down on New YORK
and the East.
Chicago, Aug. 9.-Mr. Bryan left Tor
Pittsburg by the Pennsylvania road
at 1880 tonight. Mr.. and Mrs. Bryan
were accompanied to the station by
the reception committee. They had Sc
cured berths in the regular sleeper and
retired as soon as the train drew out
Of the station. Hon. Richard P. Bland
will meet Mr.. Bryan In New York.
To-day was really day Of rest for
Mr.. Bryan-one Of the few he has sue
ceeded in passing since his nomination
here a month ago. Mr.. Bryan is good
sleeper, and despite the intense heat Of
last night he rested well and did not
leave his bed until nearly 10 o'clock.
After breakfast he and Mrs Bryan
| took a carriage at the Clifton, where
they We're stopping, and drove to the
Englewood Presbyterian church. They
selected that house OF worship because
the temporary minister, Rev. John
CLARK Hill Of Austin, ILL.,, Is to be the
pastor of their church at Lincoln, and
they wanted to meet him. Mr.. Hill re-
Gently received a call to the First Pres
byterian church at Lincoln and will go
there In a few weeks. After the SER
Vice they returned to the Clifton and
had dinner. Then both took a nap ,ln-
til $50. AT 6 O'clock Mrs Bryan went
to the main parlor Of the hotel and re-
ceived a large number Of people who
were waiting to see her husband Mr.
Bryan received in his room. Many Of
his local supporters called. One Of
his visitors was General Warner of
Ohio. president of the National BIZ
metallic league, the father Of the new
silver party.

THE SUMS roTAL ECLIPSE.
Vantage Points In Norway Prove to b
Valueless.

Valueless.
London, Aug. 9.--Much interest ex-
lists In astronomical circles as to the
success of expeditions sent out to va
rious parts of the world to study the
total eclipse Of the sun, which occurred
to-day. A special dispatch to the
United Press from Vadsee, Norway,
timed sos this morning, says that the
members of the expedition sent to Va
sanger Fjord, near Vadsee, by MIR.
Downing Of the British Nautical AL
manac, were unable to take any obser-
vations that will be of any value.
The early phase Of the eclipse was
clearly seen, but its totality was OBJ
scured by thick clouds, which rendered
the taking of observations impossible.
The temperature at the beginning o
the eclipse was A. During the eclipse
it fell to AZ. and then rose again to A.,
when the shadow passed from the sun.
Among the observers at Vranger
Fjord was Sir Robert Starwell Ball,
Lowndean professor Of astronomy and
geometry in the University OF Cam
bridge and directory Of the Cambridge
observatory. News from the other sta
ton, some of which are far from
civilization is anxiously awaited. 1t is
earnestly hoped that the American ex-
pedition to the Island of Yezo, Japan,
and the expedition at Nova Zembla and
eastern Siberia, will obtain results that
will be Of great benefit to science.

CURRENCY AND THE TARIFF
M'KTNLEY PREPARED TO DISCUSS
THESE PARAMOUNT ISSUES.

Lettor of Acceptance to be Pupblished
Next Month-Campaign in Ohio to be
Opened at Columbus Next Saturday-At
it Senator Sherman viii Submit the
Greatest Exposition of the Financia
Question He Has Ever Made-Senator
Foraker Will Speak Also-Promise of a
Quiet Week at Canton.
Canton, o., Aug. 9.-This week will
be one of the quiet ones of the cam
paign In Canton. One or two delega-
tions are expected and Major McKin-
ley may make two or three short
speeches, but he hopes to give great
deal of time in the next ten days to
his letter Of acceptance. 1t is likely
it will be finished by the end of the
third week in August, be he does not
expect to publish it before the first of
September. Mr.. Hobart will commence
work on his letter very soon, and If the
usual custom be followed he will send
a copy of it to Major Mckinley week
or so before 1t is given to the public.
Major McKinley's letter will be his
longest and most formal utterance dur
ing the campaign and he will enter
upon careful discussion of the two
great issues, protection and sound
money" These issues are almost equal
in Importance in the opinion of Major
Mckinley as indicated In his speeches.
Scores of his friends, however, who
come here from various parts of the
country, seek to impress upon him that
popular interest in the money question
Is declining and that by the middle of
September the tariff will be the issue of
paramount Importance. However this
may be, Major Mckinley is amply pre-
pared to discuss both issues.
The Ohio campaign will be opened
on Saturday next at Columbus, The
event will be of more than ordinary i'm
portance The meeting will be address,
ed by Senator Sherman and Senator
Foraker. Senator Sherman's speech
will be looked upon very generally as
the first step in his campaign for re-
election to the senate. Senator Sher-
man says he is preparing his speech
with great care and 1t is his wish to
have 1t the most effective exposition OF
the financial question he has ever made

Gueymaud, a storekeeper, was assassi-
mated while standing on his porch. An
Italian named Lorenzo Saladino. who
was known to have grudge, was ar.

the people from lynching Saladino the
sheriff secretly conveyed the prisoner
to Hahnville and placed him in Jail
This structure was guarded by a negro
night watchman. Two other Italians
named Decino and Angelo Marcuso,
were confined in the jail for the murder
of an aged Spaniard.
About midnight last night mob of
about fifty, well armed, surprised the
guard, battered down the doors Of the
Jail and took out the three Italians.
The prisoners cried and begged for
mercy, but the crowd took them to
stable a short distance away, gave
them two minutes in which to pray and
then strung all three of them up by
their necks to the rafters.
The crowd stood around a few min
utes until the bodies ceased to strug-
gle and then opened fire from their
Winchester rifles on the dangling
forms, literally riddling them with bull
lets. The lynchers then quickly dis
aerSed.
The news spread like wildfire, and by
daylight great crowd had gathered
where the three lynched men were still
hanging. dripping with blood, present.
ing a CHASTITY sight. 1t is said that the
lynching party came from ST. Gabriel,
the former home of Gucymauda, but
none of them was recognized.

A BEAurIFu1 ARaoSY.
New York Yacht Club Boats Moored at
Vineyard Haven.

Vineyard Haven.
Cottage City, Mass. Aug. 9.-The
yachts of the New York Yacht club
have laid quietly at their anchorage in
Vineyard Haven harbor to-day. Many
of them were drifting about the sound
all night, while others anchored in mid
channel in thirteen or more fathoms of
water. These did not get a breeze to
enable them to work into the harbor
until the early part of the afternoon.
The order was given to dress-ship at
noon and the yachts made q gay ap-
pearance with their lines of flags
streaming from stem to stern. Many
of the yachtsmen came ashore and at
tended divine services. The Oak Bluffs
clab was we'll patronized.
The fleet is not as large as in some
former years, but it has a beautiful
appearance, and in size and magnifi-
cenee the yachts will compare very IA
vorably with former years.
