told him so, directly. He has heard that
n notification committee was appointed
TO notify him. but apparently it has
LOST his pOstOitice address. Now, stand

arises to ask: where am I att" Very
~pertiuently he put It:
II nominees are not notified In per-
son or by letter, and do not respond by
speech. or letter. how Is the party to
know whether the nominees accept the
nomination and lndorse the platform p"
Exactly. 1t cannot be doubted that
Mr.. Watson is In an embarrassing sit
uItlon. He has been asked to withdraw
his candidacy, and 1t Is understood
that his sentiments have been that he'd
gee the whole political kettle overturn-
ed drst. Now, to be obliged to ask Il he
really has anything that he could with
draw from Is exceedingly annoying.
Where is he at? Why doesn't m

London, Sept. 7.-Captain Hunter,
of the British steamship Nonpareil,
from Cayenne, French Guiana, reports
that Captain Albert Dreyfus, sentenced
to be publicly degraded and confined
for life in the fortress, after having

tions to a foreign government, has es-
capped from the island of the Grand
Salut.
In an interview, Captain Hunter is
quoted as saying that Drayfus escaped

with the heldp of his wife, formerly Il
Minnie Hadamard, and the daughter
of wealthy parents.
Nine. Drefyus, at the urgent request
of the prisoner. received permission

Washington. Sept. THE will of
Miss Kate Field has been found in
packet which she left with Mrs De-
vine, proprietor of the Shoreham hotel,
before leaving for Honolulu. The
packet was opened in the presence of
Judge McGill, the recorder of wills.
Miss Field named FL 81. Kohlsaat, of
Chicago, and ]. Sanford Beatty, of
Washington. as executors of her estate.
She made MIR. Beatty the principal
beneficiary. Miss Field, in her will,
specified that in case she should die
away from the United States, her body
should be brought to this country and
cremated. The document will be
placed ON record in Washington. Af-
ter Miss Filed's death her papers were
taken possession of by tho United
States consul general at Honolulu, and
that official was recently authorized by
the state department to make search
of the papers for the will and If it was
found to provide the administrator of
the estate with copy. The finding
Of the will in Washington makes the
search unnecessary.

Japan Again Visited by Terrible
Earthquake.
Yokohama, Sept. 4.-Much alarm is
felt here over meager report of
great earthquake which occurred in the
northeast province of the main island
of Japan on Monday evening.
The town of Rukogo has been entire
ly destroyed, and several other towns
severely damaged.
Many persons are reported to have
been killed by the earthquake, and a
large number injured, while multi
tude have suffered severe losses by
damage to property.
The provinces visited by the earth
quake are the same as those devastated
by the terrible earthquake and tidal
wave Of June 15 last, when large
number of towns were wiped out, and
the estimated loss of life was 10000.
The provinces of Eckuesan and Rik-
uohu. along the coast from the island
Of Jonkasan northward, were principal
sufferers today
The recollection of the havoc to
human life wrought by that convulsion
causes grave anxiety as to what fur
ther reports may show of the results OF
Mondays earthquake.

NOTABLE INCREASE OF SALES.
Bradstreers r. port shows Much Inn

Bradstreet's n. port shows a Much Inn
proved Condition of Trade.
New York, Sept. -Bradstreet's
weekly trade review says: There is
somewhat better feeling among whole
sale merchants as to prospects for
autumn sales in seasonable goods
This extends to some industrial lines,
notably iron and steel. Chicago sales
of iron this week are larger than for
all of August, and Pittsburg sales are
larger and prices are better ON the out
look for harmony among steel makers.
The most notable increase of sales Of
seasonable goods has been at Chicago,
among dry goods and hardware job
bers. St. Louis also reports a moder-
ate demand, SO does st. Paul, where a
state fair attracts visitors, Baltimore
wholesale trade is checked by restrictt
bank credit, but is still larger than a
year ago. At the South relatively
the most active demand is at Charles
ton. Augusta, Nashville, Birmingham
and New Orleans
The most encouraging feature to the
movement of prices lies in advances of
quotations for wheat on the stronger
statistical position and free export
movement, higher prices for iron and
steel at Pittsburg and Chicago, and
with gain in demand and further
appreciation in quotations for cotton
on renewed reports of damage to the
crop. Petroleum and leather are also
higher. Trade on the Pacific coast,
except in certains export lines, is of
small volume.
There are $3.50 business failures
throughout the United St,tets this
week, sixteen more than last week.
Weekly totals continue higher than in
like periods in preceding years, except
in 1898.
Exports of wheat, flour included as
wheat, from both coasts of the United
States and Montreal, amount to $780,
S62 bushels, against $3.50, 600 last
week, 2,260, 600 in the week year
ago. 2,370,000 two years ago, and
4.902, 900 in the corresponding week
three years ago.
