evening the Democratic party moved to

This arrangement brings the Bryan

from the Mckinley campaign head
quarters. The committee devoted some
time to appointing minor employees.
When interviewed Senator Jones
eral newspaper stories, CHASING them
as falsehoods. He said:
II made the discovery that the Chi
cago newspapers under favorable cir
cumstances can print falsehoods. They
have developed row between Governor
Altgeld and myself which never had
any foundation in truth. The relations
between the Governor and myself have
been pleasant all along and are now
Governor Stone will not run the cam
paign from these headquarters. He will
doubtless be here frequently between
now and election day, as he is a member
of the committee, but I expect to run
the campaign here and in Washington.

ary Bureau will be esta blished here
Our ticket will be elected beyond a

1t started the people thinking and

ST. LOUIS, Aug. 20.-Three daring
highwaymen, driving about the streets
in a buggy, made three successful hold
ups in the past two days. Their plan
was to drive slowly along the outer
streets until a single pedestrian was
encountered, when they would jump
from the buggy, rob their victim and
drive away rapidly. Miss Frances
Weston, the first victim, was robbed of
her purse containing 50 at the corner of
Glasgow and st. Louis avenues yester-
day An hour later Mrs. William
Hoopau was robbed while standing on
the Sidewalk in front of her home at 720
North Vandeventer avenue. To-day
Mrs. Mary Hedding was robbed by the
same party at Cardigan and Park ave-
nues. The total sum of these robberies
is small, but panic has set in, and until
the men are arrested lady shoppers will

Address of the Governor-General-
The Tariff and the Manitoba
School Question.

OTTAWA (Ont), Aug. 20.-The first
session of the eighth Parliament of the
Dominion of Canada met at ; O'Clock
this afternoon. His Excellency, the
Governor General, proceeded to the Sen
ate chamber and taking his seat upon
the throne, the members of the House of
Commons being present, declared Par
lament in session with the following
speech
Honorable Gentlemen of the Senate
and Gentlemen of the House of Com
mons: The necessity of making pro-
vision for the public service has com
PEELED me to summon you together at
this somewhat inconvenient season. It
is impossible to lay before you at this
session the public accounts for the past
year, or indeed, any of the reports usu-
ally submitted to Parliament. Under the
circumstances and in view of the fact
that you will be required to reassemble
early in the ensuing year it does not ap-
pear expedient to invite your attention
to any measures beyond the passage of
the supplies.
THE operation of the tariff will be
made the subject of careful inquiry dur
ing the recess with q view to the prep
aration of such a measure as may,
without doing injustice to any interest,
materially tighten the burdens of the
people.
Immediate steps will be taken to en-
force a settlement of the Manitoba
school question, and 1 have every conf
dence that when Parliament again as
sembles this important controversy will
have been adjusted satisfactorily"
When the House OF Commons met
after listening to the speech from the
throne. Sir Charles Tupper, leader of the
opposition, asked that the consideration
of the address from the throne be post
poned until Mopday. His request was
agreed to.

knock out the four-year term the same
delegates will again meet and divide up

adjourn without naming ticket

sound money Democrats do-vote for
Mckinley or not vote at all?"
II think most Of them will vote for
Mckinley. 1 would advise all of them
to do So
Then, you would rather have Nc
Kinley and protection than Bryan and

is absurd, but 1 would rather have Nc

SECRETARY SMITH.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 20-Secretary
Smith, who but yesterday returned to

called at the Democratic headquarters
this afternoon and remained for an
hour in consultation with Chairman
Faulkner. Although the Secretary
bad declined to say for himself whether
he intends to enter actively into the
Georgia campaign and put up a strong
fight for the Chicago ticket, such is the
only inference to be drawn from the re-
marks of leading Democrats about
headquarters after the conference was
over.
The statement was made by gentle
man in position to know that the atti-
tude of Secretary Smith would be such
as to admit of no doubt as to his 10y
atty to the ticket. 1t is understood
that at the proper time Mr. Smith will
come out in unequivocal terms and will
work actively and earnestly in support
Of the success of the ticket and all that
