BILE to answer them. All available copies
Of the report of the director for last year,
which contained tables and information
and would answer large portion of the

The matter embodied in this circular
has been carefully considered and has the
approval of the secretary of the treasury.
1t is expected that the circular itself will
be received from the printer for distrihu-
| tion about the end of the week. Senator
Stewart, of Nevada, who has returned
from attendance on the 1t. Louis Silver

saw no propriety in the Populists com.
municating to Bryan what occurred n,
1t. Louis, or asking him to accept thcir
nomination or platform. Such a course
he added, could have no other object than
to embarrass the candidate.

rumor afloat in this city that Nebraska
will present another candidate for presi

BROWN HOSTING WORKS STRIKE.


CLEVELAND, July 29.-The first report Of
the settlement of the strike at the Brown
Hosting works was erroneous. The terms
of the settlement, given out by the.com-
pany.and agreed to by the attorney of the
strikers, were as follows: Our late en-
pioyes can resume employment at our
works as fast as we can furnish them
work. In order to save confusion and dis
appointment at the works we request each
former employe who desires employment
to notify us at the works or by letter and
await notice from us of our having work
to set him at.
Our contract of employment will con-
time TO be individual with each man. and
we will continue to endcavor to do justice
to each man. All employees shall bring
their grievances or complaints first before
their foreman. but if not satisfactorily adj
justed by the latter they may bring them
before the superintendent, and after him
before the manager, and all such com.
plants or grievances shall receive careful
consideration

plication.

plication.
LINCOLN, Ncb., July sD.-S. W. Blake,
formerly chairman of the Populist state
central committee in this state, and an
active factor in Nebraska Populism, thinks
he can sec a way out of the present en-
tangling alliance of tho Democrats and
the Populis;s in the arrangement of the
electoral ticket. so that but one set of cam
didatcs will be necessary. His plan is the
same as that suggested by senator Jones,
chairman of the Democratic national COM
mittcc. He says that the selection of the
candidates for the electoral college must

ard Democrats of the respective states.
"How will you regulate the preferences
for Scwail and Watson for vice PRESIDENT"
was asked him.
well, the Populists will not be at all
unruly on that point. The Populists have
nominated Watson merely to preserve the
identity of the party. Populists will not
care in most of the states if all of the
electors put upon the joint ticket are
Scwall men. This is especially true in the
| northern states, and in the southern states
| it will make little difference as far as
| Bryan is concerned. Even If the vote on
Bryan and Sowall is divided in the cleo
toral college there isn't any doubt that the
Sewall votes will be largely in the ma
jority.
THE tickets will be put up in the re-
spective states with the agreement that if
the Democratic presidential candidate has
more supporters in the electoral college
than the Populist candidate the votes for
| the latter will he cast for the former. =

RELATED TO M'KINLEY.
An Atlanta Lady PIensed at the
OhiOan's Nomination.

Jack Pennington in Atlanta Journal.
There Is one home in Atlanta at least in
which the announcement of the nominal
ton of William Mckinley, of Ohio, for the
presidency of the United States on the re-
publican ticket, was received with the
greatest enthusiasm; with unqualified APP
prevail and endorsement.
This was at 3S West Peachtree street,
where Miss Junia Mckinley lives with
her brother, Joseph Mckinley, In pretty
little white cottage that STANDS hlgn above
the street Miss Junia Mckinley was par
ticularly enthusiastic over the news OF
the Ohioan's nomination.
THE only thing that doesn't entirely
suit me-" said Miss Mckinley this morn
ing, sis that gold plank, but then II Maj.
Mckinley thinks he is right, he is" con-
tinued the fair partisan of the man who
will lead the forces of the republican par
ty through the campaign OF this summer
and fall
distantly related to the nominee of the re-
publican convention for the presidency,
there is no doubt. The relationship has not
been definitely fixed, but 1t exists. Miss
Mckinley thinks that she Is about a fifth
cousin of the Ohioan. Her father was
Ebeneer Mckinley, who was one of the
most able lawyers in Georgia during his
life. Her uncle was William Mckinley who
lived in Milledgeville prior to his death
and was also an able lawyer Miss McKin-
ley is prominent in the social and literary
leading private schools of the city. Her
brother, Joseph Mckinley. is connected
with the wholesale irm of Bate, Kings
berry & Co. The family has lived in At
lanta 20 years. Last spring Miss BusSie
Mckinley, a sister 10 Miss Junia McKin-
ley, died, and Miss Junia and her brother
were the only ones of the family left liv
ing in Atlanta.
Miss Mckinley is a honorary regent of
the Daughters of the American Revolu-
ton for Georgia, and was the first charter
member of the Atlanta chapter and assist
ed in organizing every chapter formed in
Georgia during the first two years of the
life of the society. She is also a promi-
nent member of the Colonial Danes of
Georgia and member of the Woman
Press club.
Have you ever been told that you look
wonderfully like your relative in Ohio
the presidential nominee? l asked Miss
Mckinley.
YES, / have" she answered with a
manifest touch of pride L have been told
so by no less a parsonage than Secretary
given at his home which l attended while
visiting in Washington last winter And
by the way, at that time l told Secretary
Carlisle that Mai Mckinley would be the
next President and ! told him that we
folks In Georgia were going to do our best
to elect him, and guess what he said: He
patted my hand and whispered, That's
and Miss Mckinney laughed heartily at the
recollection of her interview with the sec
rotary of the treasury.
