CAMPAIGN DEPRESSES INDUS
TRY

Pittsburg, Pa, August 27-The
presidential campaign is having a de-
pressing effect on the glass industry
and all glass factories will be late in
starting this fall The lamp chimney
factories which usually start in Aug
ust, may not fire up before the end of
September and the green bottle and
window glass works will also be fired
up long after the usual season begins.
President W. J. Smith, of the Flint
Glass Workers association, said the
campaign had practically stopped all
business. Depression was expected,
however, and all are waiting until af-
ter the election for return of activ-
ity.

BRITISH BOMBARDMENT
PALACE OF THE zANzIBARS DE-
STROYED.
Feeble Resistance of the Sultan and His
Slave Holding Subjects Signal
For Assault.

ZANZIBAR, Aug. H. Copyright
ed by Associated Press, 1886
The palace OF the sultan Of
Zanzibar was bombarded this
morning and at noon was
mass OF blazing ruins. The
usurping chieftain, Said Khalid,
and the commander of his forces,
Said Sales, succeeded in escaping
to the German consulate, where
they have sought refuge and re-
main under protection of the Ger
man flag.
Said Khalid had with him in
the palace $500 we'll armed and
disciplined men, plenty Of ammu-
milton and a number Of field guns
and other pieces of artillery,
which were trained on the British
warships. During the day cable
instructions were received from
London and a conference was held
between the admiral and the con-
sui general and an ultimatum was
sent to Said Khalid, ordering him
to surrender with his forces not
later than 8 o'clock this morning.
During last night there were
number of disturbances among the
natives of the town, but they were
promptly suppressed by British
marines and sailors who had land.
ed to protect property and guard
the British consulate.
1t is understood that Said Kha-
lid has received further reinforce.
ment from slave dealers who have
fiocked to his support, as the for
NAL hosting of the British flag
over Zanzibar would mean the
liberating of about $4,000 slaves
and death blow to slavery in this
part of East Africa.
Shorty before 8 o'clock today an
other message was sent to Said
Khalid notifying him that the
palace would be shelled at nine
o'clock promptly If he failed to
haul down his flag before that
time. AS before, Khalid replied
that he would die sooner than sur
render.
At 9 o'clock the flagship sig
nailed the Raccoon, Thrush and
Sparrow to commence firing and a
few minutes later they opened
with their heaviest gums and ten
minutes later they had sent q
storm of shell and shot into the
palace, tearing big gaps In IL,
and scattering death and con-
fusion among the defenders,
and dismounting some OF the
guns ashore. At $3.50 the palace
was tumbling In ruins and on
fire, and large rents were made In
the barricade of Said's followers.
The losses OF the enemy are not
known, but must have been heavy,
especially among the defenders Of
the palace proper. During the
bombardment the Sultan's armed
steamer Glasgow opened fire on
the British warships, but few
we'll aimed shells from the war
ships silenced her fire in short
order and sank her at her moor
ings.

FARMERS MUST DIG UP.
If They Can't Give Money a Fat Calf
Will Do.

VIII Do.
Washington, August 27.-Secretary
r. L. Offender, of the National Sill
yer Executive committee, has been de-
vising a plan which he thinks VILLAS
sist in raising funds throughout the
farming localities to carry on the local
campaign. The idea will, he says, be
brought to the attention of farmers
through the medium of the newspa-
pers and the party organ. He propos-
es that farmers shall donate corn,
sheep, wheat or any other product Of
their farms, these to be sent to Gen.
trail point where the people may gath
er and then be auctioned Off to the
highest bidder. The occasion will be
sort Of harvest campaign festival
where the people may congregate and
where products may be bought by
those wanting them, the proceeds to
be devoted exclusively to paying the
expenses of the campaign in the par
ticular localities represented. The
farmers, he says, are not able to con-
tribute money for political campaign
purposes but will, he believes, do
what they can in the manner indica-
ted to advance the interests they have
at heart.

What Is to BE Gained From Arctic Ex-
ploration.
To ascertain with greater precision the
shape, size and density Of the earth, the
astronomers base of measures, and thus
render the science Of surveying more &C
curately, ten pendulum observations near
the unknown extreme of tho arc are worth
q hundred elsewhere. Observations on
magnetism, especially near the magnetic
pole, will benefit the thousands of ocean
vessels which largely depend for their safe
ty on the precision with which the COM
pass can be interpreted. To the meteorol-
-ogist the arctic Is of special Importance,
because it presents the extreme of a world
embracing system, each Of whose parts af
fects every other. Tides and currents are
similarly interlependent. The aurora can
hest be studied where 1T Is most common
and most fully developed.
Observations on the character and behav-
ior Of plants and animals under the
unique conditions Of the arctic will give
TO the student Of organic life more thor
ough mastery of his problems To that
end the photography must be known

arctic affords the best facilities for study

in past geologic epochs will not be fully
known until the strata of the arctic lands
have been mapped. To the paleontologist
the arctic has already yielded most valua-
BILE information in the fossil evidence of q

These and similar fossils, precious to mu-

Trouble May Arise When the Banks Arc
Closed For Two Days.
"Were you ever fixed 80 that you could
not get 5000 or SO when you wanted it In q
hurry9'
Every often," the questioner's friend
remarked expressively.
II mean, have you ever tried to get q
,heck cashed and failed everywhere, al
though 1t was perfectly good? TO be more
particular, perhaps should describe the
situation. Itcame about because q holiday
came on Saturday. For several days I
expected to be called to the west on busi-
ness, and thought might be obliged to
leave town in hurry.
when went home on Friday, over
looked the fact that the banks would be
closed the next day, and I had only few
dollars In my pocket. On Saturday morn
ing got telegram that indicated that I
might be Obliged to start away on Sunday,
and I began to get some clean linen to-
gether.
"Then I thought of my cigars, and
went to my dealer for a supply. All Of a
sudden it struck me that I hadn't any
money for railroad fare, and asked the
cigar man whether he could cash check,
but he had only $40 In the store
II always have about 81, 900 in my per-
sonal account with our business bank, and
as have drawn on 1t for the big expenses
of the family thought could get check
cashed where traded. tried the grocer,
but he couldn't raise 5000. Then went
to the butcher, the baker, and the drug
gist. I could not raise $500 from the whole
lot
II didn't know what to do. I explain
ed the situation to some Of my neighbors,
but not one of them had more than few
dollars as pocket money. thought of 60
ing down town and trying there, but I
knew that every place of any account
would be closed.
II didn't believe that the ticket agent
would take Q strange check, and couldn't
60 into strange place like hotel or the
telegraph Office and ask for the money.
"Then I thought Of raising tho money
by getting q money order by telegraph
but on second thought I realized that my
correspondent out west would have the
same trouble in trying to raise $500 on a
holiday. It looked as II would be obliged
to wait until my bank opened on Monday
or.get small check cashed and have the
balance sent tome later"
"What did you do9''
"Nothing. I didn't get another tele-
gram. II had been summoned to the
side Of deathbed, would have been in
similar FIX When tho banks close for
two days, they can create lots of trouble
and anxiety. just keep that in mind If
you expect to be called away suddenly. -
