Goldbug Democrats Send Out n Wall
Most Piteous.

GoIdbug Democrats Send Out n Wall
Most Piteous.
NEW YORK, Sept. 13.-The execu-
tive committee of the Democratic Hon
est Money League today issued an ad-
dress to the honest money Democracy
of the nation, who hold country and
honor above party in which they de-
nounce the currency and other planks
of the Chicago platform. The address
concludes:
Shall we sacrifice the prestige, char
acter, standing and influence Of this
great people, that a combination Of
spectators may profit by the sacrifice?
Shall we permit the supreme court of
this country to be tempered with, and
its character destroyed, that the yoke
of slavery may be permanently riyeted
about our necks, and that unbridled
license may be given to the enemies
of our institutions? Shall we endorse
the doctrine Of the non-interference
with mob law merely to secure anarch-
list support to the silver scheme? From
the grave of our patriot dead comes an
appeal in name of liberty against such
infamy.
True, loyal Democracy is now called
to patriotic duty. If worthy of Ameri-
can citizenship, you will exercise your
suffrage where it will do your country
most good in this hour of peril. Our
country's honor integrity and safety
and the peoples rights and interests
constitute today our political creed, and
the badge of true, loyal Democracy"

BERING SEA FLEET.
A Rulslor That 1t VIII Dis5stnd at an
Early Day-DestinatiOn of the
Vessels.

PORT TOWNSEND, Wash, Sept. IL
According to private advfces received
here today, the Boring sea feet will dis
band at an early date. and return to civili-
cation after d five months patrol. during
which a number OF seizures were made.
The letter is from the COrWin and states
that that vessel will leave Unalaska ON
the Goth inst. Instead Of coming to Port
Townsend, as usual, the Corwin will pro-
coed direct to San Francisco, not even
stopping at Sltka- The reason for this
is that Captain Hooper. commanding the
squadron. viii be aboard and will proceed
to Washington city to make his report
of the seasons work without any I'M
necessary delay. The run down should
consume about ten days, which will bring
the COrWin to San Francisco before the
first of October. In view of the fact
that Captain Hooper is on board the Cor
win, that VIII probably be the last vessel
to leave the sea. The other vessels of the
fleet all of which will put in here, may
be expected by the 10th or 18th at the
latest.
The Wolcott, after the fleet is broken
up, viii proceed to Sitka, thence to this
port. It is detailed for the winter ac
Whatcorn. The Bear and Grant are both
coming TO Port Townsend. The COrwin
will go to San Diego to protect the south
ern boundary until spring. The Rush is
to be stationed at San Francisco until the
feet assemblies again. The Perry is to
winter at Astoria

ST. LOUIS, Mo, Sept. 19.-Grand
avenue was the Mecca of nearly 1900
people this morning, who were at
tracted by the notice that Hon. William
j. Bryan would attend divine service
at the Grand Avenue Presbyterian
church at IL o'clock
Mr. Bryan and a few friends were
escorted to the church by Hon. John
L. Martin, the ergeant-at-arms at the
Chicago convention, and was seated
in pew near the altar. Rev. DR.. Can
non preached a brief but eloquent SER
mon on the gospel of the day. On leav-
ing the church, Mr.. Bryan was COM
PEELED to doff his hat in response to the
subdued applause Of the crowd on the
Sidewalk.
Entering carriage, Mr.. Bryan was
driven to the residence of his cousin,
John E. Davenport, passenger agent of
the Clover Leaf route, where he ate
dinner and passed the afternoon and
evening in social conversation with a
number of his relatives, who had
travelled from Sa' en-, H., for the pur-
pose Of meeting their distinguished
kinsman. II was after o'clock tonight
when Mr.. Bryan returned to his hotel,
where he had a short conference with
Governor Stone, Chairman Brady OF
the city committee, Chairman Cook OF
the state committee and other promi-
nent politicians.
The presidential candidate retired
to obtain much needed rest.
Tomorrow morning at 6 o'clock the
party leave on a special train via the
Louisville & Nashville road and will
make short addresses at the principal
stations en- route to Louisville. The
train is due at Henderson at 2 o'clock
and is expected to reach Louisville at
o'clock tomorrow night, where a big
demonstration is being prepared for
Mr.. Bryan.
In his speech on leaving Lincoln Fri
day night, Mr.. Bryan said he might
not return to his city before election
day. He told a reporter Of the United
Associated Presses today that he would
be back in st. Louis October to at
tend the meeting of the association of
Democratic clubs and would speak at
Burlington, Iowa, on October s, and if
it were possible he would visit Lincoln
between these dates.

COOKS INLET.
One of the Initiated Gives Some Ad-
vice to Those Who May Have
Desire to Go There.

PORTLAND. Ore, Sept. 13-Mr. Oscar
Beer, prominent citizen of Portland, has
just returned from Alaska, and gives an
authentic account of what he has seen,
differing materially from those of others.
When l left Cooks inlet on August
q" says he, there were still about 500
or 900 miners in that region Earlier in
the season. there were several thousand
but the stories published about so many
being penned up there, hundreds Of miles
from civilization, without prospect of get
ting away and being in danger Of starva-
ton or freezing this winter, are quite IN
probably to few hundred, who can still
get away. but many will winter there in
order to be on hand to work their claims
in the spring. 1t is quite true that the re-
to all but few of those who have gone
there this year, for nearly all the good
claims had already been located last
The few claims located in 1895 were
mostly profitable. Everybody looked for
big developments this year, but while the
whole country is so full of gold that
miner can find color anywhere, the metal
pockets have paid for the time and labor
of the miner. Some claims have averaged
as high as $50 to 500 day to the man,
after the preliminary work was done.
For those who think of going to Cooks
inlet in future 1 wish to say a word of
warning about the dangers Of Turnagajn
arm. AS far as l know, twenty-five to
thirty people have been drowned in those
treacherous waters-hoW many more no
one knows. Wrecked boats and water
soaked provisions cast ashore tell many
a sad story. When the tide turns, a huge
wave, sometimes ten feet high, comes
sweeping on with the force and thunder
of an avalanche at the rate of twenty
miles an hour, overwhelming any small
boat. They call this the first bore but
the second and third bore following it
are also dangerous and no experienced
man ventures forth in d boat until these
are past"

1t Has Been One of the Most Active
known for Years.
PORTLAND, Me-, Sept. 13.-The cam
paigR which closed in this state Sat
urday night has been the most active
known for years on both sides. 1t has
been a speaking campaign almost en-
tirely and not a settlement of any size
from one end of Maine to the other has
been neglected. On the Republican side
the speakers included the most emil
nent names in the country. The Re
publicans are looking for a victory of
most overwhelming proportions, their
estimates running as high as $4,000 plu-
rality for Powers, and no one placing
it under 10000. A conservative esti-
mate puts it at from $4,000 to $4,000.
The Democrats are generally disposed
to concede 10000 at least The plural
tiles for the four congressman to be
chosen tomorrow will probably run
considerably ahead of the ticket. Mr..
Reeds plurality may go as high as
10000.

LOUISVILLE, KY, Sept. 19.-The
leaders of the free silver Democratic
party in Kentucky will make one more
attempt to fuse with the Populists, and
1t is thought they will be successful
Mr. Bryan will arrive in the city to-
morrow night and this occasion is
deemed a fitting one to bring about an
agreement with the Popuiists. Conse-
quently, Chairman Johnston Of the free
silver Democratic state central COM
mittee has arranged for q. conference
tomorrow with Chairman Parker OF the
