chief feature of the tailors' strike on

union men, the Brotherhood of Tailors
had committees in front of every shop
at $50 in the morning, and as the men
came to go to work tried to persuade
them to join the strikers In most
cases the committees were successful,
but not without several small fights
which the police quickly stopped.
When leader Schoenfeld was asked
what he thought the outcome of the
present situation would be he replied:

few days that if they care to run their
shops they must settle their differences
with the Brotherhood Of Tailors."

Tomorrow there will be four more

There were so many funerals that
the facilities for burial were over
taxed Hearses did treble duty and
carriage drivers carried as many as
four separate groups of mourners to
the cemetery. Great crowds, largely
made up of fearful women, gathered
in the streets outside the funeral houses
and flocked in groups about Old Stone

cemeteries, where the interments oc-

deepest sorrow, for in almost every

it as visitation of God, called forth

Sees Signs of Democratic Success in All
Sections

Sees Signs of Democratic Success in All
Sections.
Washington, Aug. 2.-Senator Jones
Of the national democratic committee
arrived to-day and went to the head
quarters of the congressional commit
tee, where he had an hours talk with
Secretary Gardner. Tonight the sem
ator said that he was not yet ready to
announce the executive committee, al
thought it was possible he would name
several of the members In a day or
two He stated that the committee in
New York on the 18th would select the
location of national headquarters. The
senator's choice was about evenly d.
vided between Washington and Chica-
go. He recognized great advantages in
each and some disadvantages. There
was no democratic morning paper of
prominence in Chicago and the others
there, he said, were dishonest-worse.
In fact, than in any city in the country.
He thought he could rely on the dis
semination Of fair reports from Wash
ington, although there is no democratic
paper here.
The senator said that the insinuation
of w. L. Peck, in the Atlanta journal,
that he (Jones) had expressed will
ingness to sacrifice Sewall was utterly
baseless. He had received a note from
Peck stating that Watson's nomination
would be the salvation of Bryan, and
he had not answered it nor paid any at
tention to 1t. The senator stated that
he saw nothing but indications of DEM
ocratic success wherever he went, and
that far from any possibility of the re-
action the gold bugs were relying on
the free silver cause continued to show
a healthy and rapid growth The sem
ator said he would remain in Washing
ton all week. 1t is expected many
prominent democrats will meet him
during that time, including Senator
German. 1t is predicted that soon af-
ter seeing Senator German Chairman
Jones will announce the executive COM
mittee or part of it and that a decision
will be reached as to whether an advis-
ory committee will be needed this year
