AMERICAN LEAGUE.

There was another enthusiastic
meeting of the American League at
the hall on Nuuanu street Tuesday
evening. Considerable routine bust
ness was disposed of. The principal
discussion was on whether or not the
proposed constitutional amendment,
altering the character of the League
and throwing it open to desirable per-
sons of all nationalities. The best
counsel seeming to be against such a
course, the amendment was voted
down though it had passed three read
ings. The League, therefore, remains
distinctively American.

SECRETARY LAMONT ON DUTY.
He WIFI Not Talk on the Political
Situation.

He Will Not Talk on the Political
Situation.
Secretary Lamont resumed his duties at
the War Department this morning after a
short visit to his family at Seabright, N. J.
He had e large number of visitors during
the day and accomplished considerable rou-
tine business. He Is as feticent as ever,
however, the political situation. AL
though generally accepted as a fact that
he Is opposed to the election of the demo-
cratic nominees on a free silver platform,
he has never publicly stated his intentions
with regard to the coming elections. He
may be in favor of q third ticket, but
those who know him best agree that it is
not probable.
Although Secretary Lamont declines to
say anything on the subject Of the vacant
quartermaster generalship. there are strong
surface indications that the matter will be
settled in few days. The Secretary will
communicate with the President on the
subject as soon as possible. So far as
known, there is not the slightest difference
of opinion between them as to the proper
succession to the vacancy.
In view of the alleged fact that neither
the President nom the Secretary of War
has any special personal preference in the
matter, the conclusion Is reached among
military men generally that the appoint
ment will go to Col. Sawtelle by virtue of
the fact that he is the senior officer of his
corps and has an excellent record, in every
way equal to that of any Of the competing
candidates. Col. Sawtelle is now on duty
in New York city.

THE GRAPHoPHoNE IN POLITICS.
Hbw 1t is Proposed to Send Speeches
on Their Travels.


ON Their Travels.
The phonograph or graphophone NAV
play an important part in the coming pres
idential campaign. suggestion has been
made to Senator Jones, chairman of the
democratic national committee, that he
consider the matter of buying or renting
for the democratic ticket. Such a sugges-
ton has, in part, already been acted upon
by the republicans. and it remains to be
seen what Chairman Jones will do about
the matter. If he does not care to make
the national committee the official man.
ayers of such unique campaign, other
persons may put the idea into operation.
1t is said that the republicans have put
the phonograph to work in larger Cities
supplying campaign songs for the amuse-
ment and edification Of enthusiastic repub-
licans. The suggestion to Chairman JONES'
however, is of different nature. Il is that
himself, Candidate Bryan and other noted
silver speakers make ten or fifteen-minute
speeches for enrolment on the cylinders of
the graphophone. These will be taken and
put in machines which will be sent all over
the country. They will prove double at
fractions, and, it is believed, would draw
large crowds. The graphophone itself
would prove interesting in all the smaller
cities and towns of the country, but, con-
tanning the speeches of eminent men of
the democratic party, it would be sure TO
draw large crowds.
The scheme is that democrats be sent
through the country with these machines,
advertising, like show. when they would
be at certain place. When they had their
| audience in good shape, they would put on
the big brass tubes, and the speech would
be almost the same as If delivered by the
| man himself. No charge would be made,
although the belief is expressed that if
there was q charge, sufficient to pay the
| expenses Of the operator, there would be
| big crowds everywhere.
| 1t is said that the republican campaign
| machines are made to pay their own ex-
| penses, just like all the machines in use
| for the public in general.
| If the idea mentioned should be carried
| out, 1t would prove the most novel scheme
| in the history of American politics, and
| there is no telling what influence 1t would
| have on the campaign.

Twelve Persons succumbed to the
Heat There Yesterday.
CHICAGO, August 5.-Today promises to
be a scorcher in this city. Twelve persons
succumbed to the heat which enveloped this
city yesterday. Two or three Of these, at
least. are not expected to recover. 1t was
the hottest day 80 far this year, the signal
service thermometer registering 81 degrees
in the afternoon. Thermometers on the
streets registered four and five degrees
more than that in the signal service tower.
One postal delivery and one collection all
over the city were dropped, the first time
this sumIger that the carriers and collectors
in the downtown districts found the heat
too much for them.
Chicago was not the only town where the
heat record was broken. Several towns in
the southwestern states, also In the Missis-
sippi valley, reported the highest tempera-
ture of the year. Prostrations were nu-
merous and outdoor work in a number of
towns had to be susper dsd-
The hottest place in the United States
was ST Paul. where the mercury rose until
it reached the 100 mark. Omaha, Kansas
City. Vicksburg and Davenport were each
doing the best they could with 90 degrees.
while Memphis, with 9S degrees, was the
nearest rival of st. Paul. Springfield Des

THE DAWES COMMISSION
Early PrOkpect for Satisfactory Com

Early PrOkpect for Satisfactory Com.
clustOn of Negotiations.
The Dawes Indian commission is steadily
at work In the Indian territory, and is ex-
pected to complete it's labors by December.
The Indians are still filing applications for
membership in the tribes, and have until
September'l0 for doing this. Gen. FRANK c.
Armstrong, ex-assistant commissioner of
Indian affairs and a member of the COM
mission, Is In Washington for a few days.
He says the prospect for an early and
satisfactory conclusion Of the negotia tions
with the Indians for reorganization of
their government, through a division of
their lands in severalty and other measures,
was never more favorable than now. The
Indians, he says, are beginning to under
stand to some extent that 1t is to their in
terest to allow the reformatory measures
tc be carried out and many of those who
will not concede this realize that Congress
intends to take prompt action If the COM
mission Is not successful in closing the
iong-pending matter. The Indians believe
they will fare better at the hands of the
commission than by acts of Congress.
With this growing sentiment General Arm
strong expresses the belief that at the COM
ing sessions Of the tribal councils some
definite steps will be taken. Other Indian
officials however, regard this view as too
sarguine. They say that the Indians cam
not be convinced that a change will better
their condition, and while hoping for the
redmen's interests for an agreement regard
It as likely that nothing will be done until
Congress acrs. Meanwhile the commissions
are wedding out from the mass of appli-
cants for a share of the tribal rights. those
not entitled to them.
The courts however, have superior juris-
diction, and in many cases appeals proba-
bly will be taken to them from adverse rul-
il gs of the commission. All of these cases
doubtless can be passed on within a couple
of months, and the report of the commits
sicn, If unsuccessful in its chief aim, max
ing strong recommendations for immediate
action by Congress will be ready to be
submitted at the opening Of the session Of
that body.

guments presented by counsel were correct,
was the Potomac company In a condition
to fill the terms Of its proposal?
President Crosby answered that 1t was.
OF course. it followed that his company
could not get ready and do the lighting on
the streets now lighted as quickly as the
existing company, but where the new
streets were concerned, his company will
agree to do that work as promptly as pos
sble, and give bond to do the work as
promptly as anybody else
Commissioner Truesdell asked II the
United States Company had duplicate con-
duits on Streets in other words. that both
sides Of a street were not occupied by con-
dufts.
President Crosby did not know about
this.
Commissioner Powell said that President
Crosby should file with the Commissioners
before they considered the matter finally a
list of all conduits necessary to do the
work, together with the territory sought
and the time necessary to, do the work.
President Crosby replied that the whole
matter Of connections would be left to the
Commissioners. The Potomac company
was willing to make any connections the
Commissioners would designate. The cur
rent for8the new line Of lights would pref
erably be taken from the existing new
conduit on NJ street, and be built along M
street or some other cross street to 9TH,
thence with suitable connections to the
other new line Of lights. or drawing cur
rent from the lexington plant by means of
connecting conduits from the plant to 9th
and Boundary.
The Proposed New Lights.
The new lines of lights are to be located
as follows:
On New York avenue from 9th to 14th
streets northwest.
On H street from I'd street to 18th street
northeast.
On 9th street from 9th street to Boundary,
and on AZ street from the Baltimore and
Potomac station to the river.

JONES AND THE POPULISTS
That Interview Still the Talk at the Politis !
Headquarters.
Mr.. Turner of the POpulist National
Committee Satisfied the Senator
Was Misrepresented.

The various incidents following the pur-
ported interview Of Chairman Jones, re-
f1ecting on southern populists, Is still the
talk at political headquarters and among
politicians and newspaper men generally.
On top of Chairman jones' denial Of the
truth Of the interview comes, in the same
paper which published the interview, a
telegram from Tom Watson scoring Sena-
tor Jones in characteristic Watson style.
Mr.. Watson seems to think the interview
was the official view of Chairman Jones,
and treats 1t accordingly.
Republicans Tickled.
The republicans, of course, are immensely
tickled at the situation and the results that
may follow. They have nothing to say as
to the interview. but they are watching
things with all eyes open. Both the demo-
Gratis and populists are keeping right up
with the developments.
Chairman Butler Of the populist national
committee is reported as throwing cold
water on the alleged interview, and as say
ing that he does not believe that Senator
Jones said anything of the kind. This at
titude. 1t is felt, will be accepted as the
official populist attitude. and no serious at
tention will be paid to the gyrations of Mr..
Watson.
Secretary Turner'S Ideas.
In view of the reported attitude Of Sen
ator Butler, a Star reporter this morning
asked Secretary Turner Of the populist ma
tional committee for his opinion Of the in
terview and its probable effects. Mr.. Tur-
ner said: II believed when I saw the al
legged interview that Senator Jones had too
much sense to say anything Of the kind.
and I have never had the least idea that
he was correctly quoted. 1 regarded 1t as
q fake I had lied with
myself and knew how he felt. / think
Senator Buffers view is the correct one to
take, and l am glad that he speaks as he
does. The story won't have any effect
Such things are to be expected. They are
the beginning of campaign lies. Nothing
will be left undone to stir up discord
among the silver men, and those who be-
heve every story they see are idly wasting
time and getting mad unnecessarily
Jones Says Watson is Misled.
NEW YORK, August Ex-senator Jones
OF Arkansas, chairman Of the democratic
national committee, reached New York to-
day from the south. At the depot he was
met by Treasurer st. John and after break
fasting the two gentlemen went to demo-
cratic temporary headquarters at the Hotel
Bartholdi. where. with others, consulta-
ton on party campaign plans was begun.
A reporter asked Senator Jones: Have
you read the reply Mr.. Watson has made
populists?"
Yes, responded the Senator, "but I
have no intention Of making any reply to
1t. Watson's statement is based altogether
on two sentences attributed to me which l
did not utter, namely, that Bryan would
not accept the populist nomination and
that the southern populists were disrep-
utable spoilsmen who should go to the
niggers, where they belonged. 1 did not
say either of these things, and much Of the
real interview in question misrepresented
