IDAHO DEMOCRATIC COMMITTEE
Meeting at boise Portends the
scheme of Fusion.

Boise, Idaho. April 24.-rhe democratic
state committee will meet here tomorrow.
The indications are that there will be
a very small attendance, as only three
outside members have so far arrived. II
is said that call will be made for only
one convention at this time. This Is sup
posed to be because of the talk of fusion
with the populists there being strong
element among the democrats who do not
want to fuse if the national convention
declares for free coinage of silver They
| think they can carry the state independ-
| entity under this condition.

Chicago, April 2i--The Chinese colony
of the Windy City is fast being depopu-
lated. 4 year ago over 20oo Mongolians
were registered at the office of the col
lector Of internal revenue in the govern
ment building. bat ii is said that at the
present time between 500 and 800 of these
have migrated to San Francisco, Cinct1-
natl, Pittsburg, Philadelphia, New York
and Washington, while less than a score
Of newcomers have placed their names
on the books. The cause of the migrls
ton. it is said is the local antipathy on
the part of the trade unionsts and others
to Chinese lanndries, and the consequent
inability of the almond-eSed Celestia1s To
make even a ghost of living. According
to a representative of the Chinese Six
Companies, there win not be year henee
over 200 or 300 of his eountrymen in tie

Versailles, KY, Sept. 15.--Rain was
falling heavily when Mr.. Bryan reached
the little town of Midway at 1880 o'clock
this morning, and the people who were
expecting a speech from him were disap-
pointed on account of the weather. They
crowded around the train and asked for
few words. but Mr. Bryan decided not
to talk at Midway. Mr.. Bryan, Senator
Blackburn, National Committeeman
Woodson and the others in the presiden-
tial nominees party were transferred to
special train on the Southern railway
in which they proceeded to Versailles, the
Louisville and Nashville special going on
to Lexington. Mr.. Bryan was conveyed
from one train to the other in carriage,
but most of those with him had a race
through the mud with a crowd of several
hundred men and boys.
Mr.. Bryan reached Versailles at 1920.
A band was at the station playing "Old
Kentucky Home" when his train came In,
and with that in the lead and followed
by troop of horsemen he was escorted
to stand. Here Mr. Bryan spoke to
several hundred people, and then went
off to Senator Blackburn's residence,
where banquet was served to large
party.

Getting Back His Voice.

Frankfort, KY, Sept. 15.-The train on
which Mr.. Bryan made his journey today
was run as the second section of the
regular Frankfort accommodation. Mr..
Bryan's party included Senator Black
burn, Representative Allen of Mississp-
pi, Ex-Representative Stone of Ken
lucky, Gen. Wat Hardin and others of
prominence. They occupied the same
special car used on yesterdays journey
furnished by Urey Woodson. the demo-
cratic committeeman from this state. A
heavy rain fell shortly after the candi-
date left Louisville and the damp atmos-
phere had its effect on his already en-
feebled voice when he made his first
speech of the day. AS thoroughly tired
out as Mr.. Bryan was last night, after
one of the hardest days in his campaign,
he looked rejuvenated this morning and
ready for another ordeal, and even his
voice gained strength after he had
spoken awhile, and came out strong, al
though very husky.
Knots of people were gathered to see
the candidate at several small stations
where stops were made. The first speech
was at LAGRANGE. Several hundred peo-
pie, with heavy percentage of pretty
girls, cheered Mr.. Bryan when he came
on the back platform of his special car
4 sudden downpour of rain did not dis
perse the enthusiastic crowd that heard
the candidate.

Wonderful Ingenuity Of Postoffice Detectives
In Fastening Guilt Upon Mail Pouch
Thief at Detroit.

Chicago, Sept. 15.-Harry Laraway.
porter at the union depot in Detroit,
Mich, was last night caught in the act
and placed under arrest. For months
there has been leak In the postal SER
vice between this country and Canada,
which the detectives were unable to To-
cate. Suspicion pointed to Laraway and
after much difficulty the crimes were
traced to him. Inspector Stuart said to-
day that Laraway's thefts had extended
over a period of fifteen months and there
is no telling how many letters he has
stolen. Last night alone he took forty
three letters. Extra precautions wero
taken in the matter of sealing pouches
and men were concealed in the cars, but
nothing wrong was discovered. Then it
was found that sacks had been cut open
and reserved with soiled thread. Men
were detailed to follow the vans on bi-
baggage cars and watched the clerks,
and it was at last decided that the work
was done in little brick building in the
union depot at Detroit where the mail is
transferred. Laraway, Canadian,
worked there at night, but could not be
watched, as there was but one door and
no windows. A special compartment
was built adjoining, but proved impracti-
cable. At last a tunnel under the builds
ing was made and the dispatch announces
ing the capture OF LaraWay in the very
act Of cutting open sack proves how
successful this plan was. Laraway was
brought into the United States court at
Detroit today, waived examination and
was held in $1,000 bail.

In answering a correspondent the

census OF 1890 to show that 1000 fam
lilies own over s12, 900, 600, 90 O-over
twelve thousand million dollars OF

At such time as this, the World is
not likely to be accused OF assisting
the Democrats party. So. accepting
its figures, let us see what they mean.
The total assessed value OF all real
and personal property in Nebraska
under the census of 1890 was s1s4, 600,

The combined assessed wealth, real

states Of the west and south, as shown
by the census Of 1890, ioots up between
six aud seven billions, while the COM
