CHICAGO. Sept. 10. G. Johnson
of Kansas, a member of the Demo
cratic executive committee. returned to
Chicago headquarters today from a.
two weeks tour through Minnesota,
the Dakotas, Nebraska, Colorado, Utah,
Kansas and other western states. He
said:
Minnesota will go for Bryan beyond
doubt. Even tne leading Republicans
of that state privately concede the cleo
ton Of Mr.. Lind, the silver fusion
candidate for governor. From all that
l could learn, Mr.. Bryan will not run
behind the state ticket, and 1 am con-
fident he will carry the state by a
good majority. The Democrats, Popu-
lists and silver Republicans are thor
oughly united and working with
WILL
Mr.. Johnson added that the Bryan
sentiment in the Dakotas, Nebraska,
Utah and Colorado was so strong that
it was only a question: of majOrities
He made a sweeping assertion that the
Democrats world carry every western
state by overwhelming majorities, and
Kansas would give not less than 20
600 majority for Bryan. Mr.. Johnson
will remain at headquarters for the re-
uIdAlllCI Ol llIE CcIIlp aARIl.
Chairman Campau Of the campaign
committee said the private advices
which he had received from Michigan
indicated the free silver tide was rising
in that state at a tremendous rate,
and pointed to a big majority for Bry-
an. In GratiOt county, which had a
normal Republican majority of 1000,
a poll just completed had shown that
Bryan would carry it by 1.200 majority.
Mr.. Campau said the Populists and
Prohibitionists were solid for Bryan,
while 500 Republicans in that county
We're actively supporting the fusion
ticket. He counted Michigan safe for
Bryan. y
A letter from John S. Bronx. chafr-
man Of the Democratic county commit
tee of Rochester, n. Y. states the sill
yer sentiment among the farmers and
wOrkingmen in that section Of the
state was simply amazing. He said:
I'm one township of this county,
thirty representative men who were
formerly Republicans, will vote for
Bryan, while in the adjoining town
ship the silver Republicans are still
more numerous. When such reports are
being received, you Will not wonder
that many think it possible to carry
New York for Bryan"

ALASKAN PROSECUTORS.
One Thousand Are Said to Be I'm a,
Destitute Condition.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 1O.-Informa-
ton has reached the treasury depart
ment that 1000 prospectors who airs
now in the mining regions of Alaska
are in destitute condition, and If
they are not brought down this fall
to the states by United States war YES
sells they run the risk of starving dur
ing the coming winter.
The men are represented as without
means with which TO pay their way
on the vessels of the North American
Commercial company and Alaska Com
merciaI company. Every spring there
is an exodus OF this class Of adven-
turous citizens to the mining regions
of Alaska, and as many of them are
thriftless they place the government in
alternative Of permitting them to
starve or Of bringing them back to the
United States in one Of the vessels
Of the Behring sea fleet. Last year
notice was given that the vessels that
took them up would be required to
bring them back to the United States,
but even then some were left and were
rescued by war vessels of the United
States. This year the entire BehrfnS
sea fleet is composed of revenue cut
ters and it IS said that their utmost
capacity would not accommodate more
than $50 persons. The treasury is in a
dilemma over the situation Of the 1000
INDECENT miners in Alaska and hardly
knows what to do.

WASHINGTON, Sept 1O.-Fourth
Assistant Postmaster General R. A.
Maxwell has written a letter about the
third ticket in which he says:
'"The Chicago convention at the out
set trampled upon party usages, de-
prived sovereign states of a voice in
the proceedings, assailed with unbri-
died abuse Grover Cleveland, the only
Democrat in thirty-six years who has
brought the party into power in the
nation, and refused to recognize even
the honesty Of the national administra-
ton and of thousands of Democrats
who constitute it. Since the adjourn
ment of that convention, its candidate,
personally and through his representa-
tives, has persistently sought to COM
plete the betrayal of the Democracy.
I protest against this effort to destroy
the only party with a continuous history
from the beginning of the government;
the only party national in its purposes
and in it's following, and the party the
existence of which in success or defeat
is essential to the perpetuity of our
institutions. The way to make that
protest effective and to preserve Dem
ocratic principles and organization is
to support the candidates of the Ma
tiona1 Democratic convention at Indi-
annapolis, which assumed and dis
charged the trust betrayed by the ma
jority of the Chicago convention. The
free coinage Of silver means a depre-
ciated currency, and deprecated
currency is another name for repudia-
ton. True Democratic principles do
not lead in that direction, and as a
Democrat l refuse to follow these new
and false lights, and abandon the po-
itical and personal belief Of years.

EDINBURGH, Sept. 1O.-In the trades
union congress today the National NUM-
cipal Labor unions resolution favoring
old age pensions was passed as follows:
THAT this body of trade unions of the
United Kingdom wish the parliamentary
committee TO consider the advisability of
at once moving the government to bring in
a bill making it compulsory for all NUM-
cipal bodies to adopt some practical
scheme of old age pensions for their en-
ployees."
The following resolution was carried
by a small majority:
THAT this congress calls upon the gov
ernment to grant a complete amnesty to
all political prisoners, and is of tho opin-
ion that the time has arrived for a full
and careful inquiry by the home secretary
into the case of three rnen-Cailes, Charles
and Batlop-condemned at Stafford, in
April, 1892 to ten years penal servitude
for being in possession of explosive sub
stances with view to their speedy re-

WATSON ON BRYAN.
PopuIist Candidate Speaks to an
Audience at kansas City.

Audience at Kansas City.
KANSAS CITY, Septeml e. ID
Thomas e. Watson, vice presidential
candidate on the Poplrlist ticket, spoke
here today TO an audience of 1000 peo-
pie. He began by reviewing the history
Of the Peoples party, from its incep-
ton, saying that the west and SOUTH
the great agricultural sections of the
country, had joined hands in the great
work of securing rights of the people.
Then he made an appeal to voters to
stand by the Populist party until the
corpcI ations had all been downed
Referring to Sewall's candidacy, he
was exceedingly bitter, saying: Il will
come of the ticket when my boy gets
out and makes speeches against me,
as Sewall's boy is making speeches
against him. A man who cannot carry
his own family carries no political
strength. Our people would not con-
sent to my coming off the ticket. The
suTest way to defeat Bryan is to dis
rupt the silver forces, and the way
to do that is for me to be driven off
the ticket. 1 would not take an cleo
toral vote that should not be given to
Bryan too"
He concluded by saying that come
veal or come woe he was for William
j. Bryan, and that four years hence
he would be found, as now, fighting for
the Peoples party and its integrity.
He left tonight for lola, Kansas,
where he speaks tomorrow

Star Pointer at the pole. He led to
the home stretch when Gentry slowly
forged ahead, inch by inch, and won
the first heat by nose. Time by quar-
ters, 0:311a, 1:03$4, 1:35, 1854.
In the second heat the excitement
eliminated. The horses got away on
the first score and went around the
track neck and neck, with the precis-
ion of machines, neither gaining nor
losing in the breathless silence of the
crowd. Just before reaching the wire
Gentry made another magnificent
squirt and went under the wire a neck
ahead. amid wild enthusiasm. The
time by quarters was, 0:S1, 1:02, 1872,
2:O115 the last half quarter being the
fastest ever paced. The announce
nent that the worlds record was bro
ken was received with renewed cheers
by the crowd, which was beside itself
with enthusiasm. The victory was no
less a credit to Star Pointer, who gain
ed on his previous record more than
did Gentry The climax was over with
this heat. The horses were tired and
the race seemed, by virtual agree
ment, to belong to Gentry, who won the
third easily by a length. Time, 2:05A.
The drivers were Andrews for Cen
try. McCIary for Pointer. The race
was for a $1,000 purse, and the breed
ers' association of this place offered
$500 extra if the worlds record was
broken.
Note-The assertion having been
made that the worlds record was not
broken at Glen Falls today, the expla-
nation is made that today's record was
made in a, regular pacing race, where
as Robert Us record was made at
ere Haute two years ago was against
time, paced by running horses.

WORLDS RECORD BROKEN.
Spectators Mad1y Cheer the King of

GLENs FALLS, N. Y, Sept. 1O.-A
perfect day and a fast track drew a
crowd of 5000 persons to the Glens
Falls race track this afternoon. The
event of the day was the match race
between John r. Gentry and Star Pom
ter. The race, from the start to finish,
was of the closest and most exciting,
and when, after the second heat which
Gentry won by a short head, the time,
POLE, was marked up, and it was re-
allied that the worlds record was
broken, the spectators madly cheered
the king of PAGERS and his driver, An
dreWS.
Before the first heat the betting was
2 to on Gentry, Star Pointer at 8 to 2.
They got away ON the second score,

WAS A GREAT FIGHT.

COLUMBIA, S. c., Sep 1ember TO-
Official returns have been received
from all the counties and the very large
total vote of S3,498 is shown. This is
almost as large as the largest ever
polled in the state in a preliminary cleo
ton. Of this amount Evans has 40, 1866
and Earle 43, S2S, giving a final majority
for Earle of 1857.
Governor Evans said today, in speak
ing of his defeat, that he attributed
it more to false friends than to any
thing else, and thai he has no feeling
of resentment whatever against the
people of the state.
Tonight reports reach Columbia of
torchlight professions and other cele-
brations of Earle's victory in several
portions of the state.
