Washington, Aug. 2.-Senator Jones OF
Arkansas, chairman OF the national DEM
ocratic committee. returned to this city
to-day from his trip to the west. The sem
ator expects to remain In the city during
the present week .or consultation with
such democratic leaders as may be here
from time to time and later will go to
New York City to attend the meeting
of the national committee on the llth and
the Bryan and sewall notification on the
day following. The understanding now Is
that the two candidates will be notified
at the same time, as mas be,n 'lpne by
the democratic party In the past.
Pending the meeting of the national
committee In New York the final dis
position of the question Of the establish
ment Of permanent headquarters during
the coming campaign is hardly looked
for. Senator Jones had nothing definite
to say on this subject to-day and ex-
pressed the opinion that the matter would
not be settled until the committee meets.
While Senator Jones Is believed to have
about decided upon the formation OF the
executive committee which will have ac-
tive charge OF campaign work, he is
not yet prepared to make public any
names. In this case also ne expressed the
opinion that the committee will not be
fully named until the meeting In New
York. He may. however. announce an in
dividual member or two during his stay
In this city.
The senator's attention was called to
the statement In the Atlanta Journal
made by Hon. w. L. Peck. who led the
Georgia delegation at the populist con-
vention. that there was an understanding
between the populist and democratic
leaders that II the popullsts would n6mi-
nate Bryan for president and a southern
populist for vice president. Mr. sewail
would retire from the race. Regarding
this Mr.. Jones declared that so far as he
knew no arrangement Of the kind was
entered into.
The chairman Is we'll satisfied with the
general situation and says the demo-
cratic ticket is as good as can be. He
ridiculed the idea of a reaction In the
silver sentiment and looks for its con-
tinued progress. This sentiment" he
said. began with the repeal of the Sher-
man act and has progressed ever since %

Cincinnati. Aug. MANY people
here to-day visited the scene of the
hurricane Of yesterday In the northern

what narrow escape the city had till
to-day. With the wind blowing 60
miles an hour and rainfall Of two
inches within two hours. the weather
bureau says the city was fortunate i'm
escaping with only property damage.
This was due to their being no funnel
shaped clouds. no twisting winds or
whirlwinds While the dark clouds
burst the wind swept straight across
the city and Its suburbs. II unroofed
hundreds Of buildings that were occu-
pied. but all the buildings demolished
were either old structures, barns and
sheds or. buildings In process OF con-
struction.
Some congregations held services In
new locations to-day owing to damages
to their edifices. but the general opin-
ion expressed everywhere was that OF
thankfulness that the situation here
and elsewhere in Southern Ohio, Indi-
ana and Kentucky was no worse. Thu
only death reported was that OF
Charles Bouhe. who picked up a tele-
graph wire that had blown into his
yard on the Carthage road. The wire
crossed a large trolley that also had
blown down. John Hammer Of Coving-
ton. KY. also picked up wire and was
unable to release himself His condi-
tion Is still doubtful. Among the 9TH
