Wants the Democratic Chairman Re-
moved From ONCE.
Chicago, Aug. THE Tines-Herald
says:
There is a fight on between Governor
AHgeld and Chairman Jones of the
Democratic national committee. It will
be fought out at the New York session
of the committee, which convenes Tues
day, August IL.
Governor Altgeld in private CONVEX
sation has declared that no more unfOr-
tunate selection could have been made
for chairman Governor Altgeld holds
Chairman Jones personally responsible
for the SeWall-W Watson muddle and is
of the opinion that had the Arkansas
senator remained away from St. LSuis
matters would have adjusted them
selves in much better shape.
Some sharp correspondence and tele-
grams have passed between Governor
AItegeld and Chairman Jones' When
Mr. Jones left St. Louis at the close of
the st. Louis convention he announced
his intention of meeting Governor Alt
geld in Springfield or Chicago before
he went east He left his Arkansas
home one day last week and a score
of western Democratic leaders came to
Chicago for the purpose of having a
conference preliminary to the first for
NAL meeting of the national committee.
Senator Jones went from St. Louis di-
rect to Washington and in reply to the
statement that Governor Altgeld had
waited two days in Springfield for the
purpose of a. meeting, said that he had
no idea that the governor was anxious
to see him.
The AlgeId people charge a painful
and claim that he is not acceptable to
the POpuliStS.

NATIVES FOUGHT BRAVELY
Matabele Warriors Charge to Within
Few Yards of British Guns.

CCopyrighted. 1885, by Associated Press.)
Cape Town, Aug "Details have
been received here of the decisive vic
tory won on Wednesday by the British
troops composing Col. Plummer's col
umn over a native force estimated to
have numbered from 5000 to 1000. The
latter fought most desperately and
bravely charging up within a few
yards of the British rapid fire guns.
About 500 of the Matabele warriors
were slain during the engagement
which lasted several hours and the loss
of the British included Major Ker-
shaw, Lieutenant Harvey, four SER
geants and about 80 soldiers killed and
six officers, several On-commissioned
officers and about so men wounded ac-
cOrding to official figures. The Mata-
beles and their allies were commanded
by the big chiefs SokOmbo and Umlu-
gulus and were divided into five impis
or regiments, each of over 1000 men
we'll supplied with arms and ammuni-
ton.

Isaac Pltman Shorthand.

The publishers of the Isaac Pitman system
of shorthand, always notably to the fore in in
creasing their already large library of phono-
graphic works, have just published new edi-
ton of their Teacher" AS in the case of
many other things British, American students
OF the art of brief writing were 10th to take
hold of the new Importation, preferring to ex-
pand their energies upon some system which
promised fabulous rate of speed at the end
of one week or one fortnights study. The ex-
perience of older shorthand writers, however
has demonstrated that all such mushroom sys-
TENS were valueless and totally incapable of
producing even fair results. Some three years
ago Clarence Pitman, a nephew of the vener-
able Sir Isaac, was sent out to New York to es>
tabl1sh branch of the London and Bath es-
