CAMPAIGN LITERATURE.
Big Demand for It at Both R+pubi'oaE
and Democratic Headq uartsrs.

and Democratic Headq uartsrs.
Washington, July 20. The demand
for campaign literature at republican
and democratic congressional head
quarters is unprecedented. Singularly
enough the requests for sound money
literature come largely from the
doubtful middle and western states,
which the democrats are confident Of
carrying. On the other hand, the
greatest interest is shown in silver
literature in such of the eastern states
as are believed to be reliably republi-
can. This is especially true of New
York, Pennsylvania and New Eng
land. Senator Mitchell of Wisconsin
has been the only conspicuous caller
at democratic headquarters during the
past week. At that time Sena tor
Mitchell was undecided whether to
support the Chicago ticket or not. He
is reported to have said that he was
elected by gold democrats, and that he
did not see how he could consistently
favor an economic policy contrary to
their wishes Senator Jones of Ar
kansas, the chairman of the democratic
national committee, will return to
Washington within few days, and
this is interpreted to mean that the
visit will be mad in pursuance of his
purpose to establish himself here dur
ing the campaign.
More Than SO, 600, 900 Speeches.
The announcement is made at repub-
lican headquarters that arrangements
have been perfected whereby the state
committeeman in the several states
will be supplied with all the campaign
literature prepared by the congress
sional committee. The principal
speeches sent out from republican
headquarters are McGleary's reply to
Towne showing that the fluctuations
Of silver have had no bearing upon the
prices of farm products; "Babcock on
Money" and the speech of judge Geo.
Fl. Aldridge of Dallas, Tex, on the
free coinage of silver, which Senator
Caffrey of Louisiana had printed in
the Congressional Record last winter.
1t is estimated that more than SO, O9O,-
900 speeches of all kinds will be dis
tributed by the republican congress
sional committee alone.

VICTIMS OF MoJAVE DESERT.
Tho Remains Of New York Man and
His COMPANION Found.

Pomona, Cal, July 2s.-Edward M.
Clark of New York and his companion,
Henry Sanford of Columbus, Mo-, have
been lost on the Mojave desert while
PROSPECTING for gold. They left Ban
ming few weeks ago and at last ac-
counts their provisions had given out
and their horses had succumbed to the
heat. A prospector who returned from
the desert yesterday reports finding
two bodies answering their description
lying on the desert twenty-five miles
from Volcano Springs, near which
point the missing men were last seen.
The dead horses of the prospectors
were also found and their trappings
tally with those purchased by Clark
and Sanford.

Due There About Noon To-day.
New York, July 2s.-There were
many callers at the Hotel Waldorf
last evening looking for chairman
Mark Hanna of the national executive
committee of the republican party.
They were disappointed, for the clerk
of the hotel announced that he had as
yet received no order from Mr.. Hanna
for rooms, and that the only word in
dicating that he would be in this city
this week was the announcement re-
ceived that he would probably be here
by Thursday. When Mr.. Hanna ar
rives it is said he will call meeting of
the executive committee and announce
the plan of campaign. At the meeting
Senator Quay and Messrs Clayton and
Manley are expected to be present
Vice P residential Candidate Hobart
will probably meet the committeeman,
and the active work of the campaign
will be fully discussed and a line of ac-
tion determined upon Early this
morning at the national republican
headquarters it was stated that Mr..
Hanna would reach this city before
noon to-day. Word had reached there
that Mr. Hanna had left Cleveland at
6 o'clock last evening, and at the Wal
dorf it was said this morning that his
rooms would be in readiness by that

NEW YORK rAILoRs' STRIKE.

Contractors and workmen Will Wait for
the Bosses To Make the First Move.
New York, July 2S.-There was
plan which the men Of the Brother
hood of Tailors, now on strike, and
the Contractors association had made
to fight the manufacturers, and there
were few scrimmages between union
and non-union men. The executive
board of the brotherhood met, and
then Meyer Schoenfeld said that reso
lutions had been adopted stating that
inasmuch as the contractors associa-
ton was not in position to control
all the contractors, the executive
board of the Brotherhood of Tailors
would settle with the individual
contractors When the leaders of
the contractors heard this they
hurried to Schoenfeld and held con-
ference with him. Then there was
secret conference between committees
of the contractors and the tailors. AT
ter the conference Schoenfeld said it
had been agreed that the Brotherhood
of Tailors could not settle with any
individual contractors, and that the
contractors agreed that they would
compel those contractors that were
outside of that organizat tion to join it.
Both the contractors and tailors will
wait for the manufacturers to make
the first move. There are about 800
members in the contractors associa-
tion, and as many outside of it.

ArJihS 10 Bring Her System Ur
TO the Standard OF the United States.
Washington, July 2S.-United States
consul Monaghan at Chemnitz regards
1t as worthy of note that, while earn
est efforts are being made in the
United States to reform the consular
service, movement is afoot in Ger
many to reform the consular service
OF that country so as to bring it up to
the present efficiency of that of the
United States. At the request of the
government the Rhineland and West
phalian union for the protection of
the empires industrial interests has
handed in an essay, founded upon a
thorough investigation, dealing with
the necessity of this reform, and sug-
gesting better training of German con-
suls, especially in the practical school
of commerce and traffic. They COM
plain that the present service is too
bureaucratic, and that the consuls are
not so closely in touch with their peo-
pie as those of the United States, and
that their reports are so delayed as to
be of little use Another report from

CASTLE ISLAND DISASTER.

hlstOr1cat society, the Boat Contractor and
the City of Boston Held Responsible.
Boston, July 2s.-The blame for the
Castle Island disaster of June last has
been fixed by Judge Fallon of the
South Boston municipal court upon the
South Boston Historical society, VIM.
e. Sheldon, the boat contractor, and
the city of Boston. The court finds
that the Historical society sis very
much to blame;" that VIM. E. SheldoA
sis principally responsible" and that
the city of Boston is to "great ex-
tent responsible" for the accident
which resulted in the drowning of
four children on that day. The
police department is the only one of all
the parties who were connected with
the events of Farragut Day celebra-
ton which led up to the sad accident,
that is held not blamable. All these
findings are made in report of the in
quest which was held by Judge Fallon
and fled in the Office of the clerk of
the superior court.
