FROM CHA BEND.
Remains of an Unknown Man Found
 Seven Miles West Of Town.

7 CHA BEND, Ariz., Aug 25.-(Spe- cial Correspondence of The RepubIi- can. Yesterday afternoon a gang of section men working seven miles west of this place found the remains 0. a man about 150 yards from the railroad track. The remains comprised a DOT tion of the skull and several homes, which were ao..vtei eu over half all acre of ground. A bundle in which was wrapped five pairs of overalls, a blouse and a suit of underclothing was found in a fair state of preservation. The remains must have been lying taere for about year. It is most surpfis- ing that the corpse could have lain so close to the railroad and escaped ob- servation. A wagon road passes with in few feet of the remains and some of the bones were lying between the wheel tracks. There is nothing that would lead to the mans identity. The Gunsight country is opening up. At present a force of about fifteen or twenty men is at work developing claims in the vicinity Messrs Elliott, Phillips and Parsons of the company arrived a few days ago and left at once for the Gunsight. It is expected they will erect a mill on the property in the l course of a month. If the property turns out well it will help Gila Bend considerably, as all the freighting will 1 be from here.

Silver Candidates Must Pay Their Fare.
Railroads Discriminate in Fa-

The Rock Island Sets the Pace ana Other Railways Quickly Fol-
 low It's Example.

TOPEKA, Kan, Aug. 26.-The can didates for state offices will not ride on passes tlie year. This is irre- spective of their desire
 J. W. Leedy, the candidate for gov ernor, has always prided himself on the tact that he never accepted rail road pass while he was in office, but there are other candidates on the fu- sion silver ticket who do not share the ideas of the head of the ticket on the pass question. They would not mind riding on a pass, but the pass is not to be had this year.
 A few days ago one of the candidates who will do some campaigning was given an assignment by the state cen tral eommitte. He is mot possessed of great deal of this worlds riches and his friends knowing this concluded that they would help him out by se- curing transportation.
 One of them called upon Mir. M. A. Low of the Rock Island and explained his mission MT Low told the gentle man plainly and firmly that it was not his intention to supply amy passes to ! the silver candidates and he read the l sOaicitous friend of the candidate 8 se- i were lecture on political questions in general
 The other gentleman went to the Santa F'e and laid the matter before Passenger Agent Black. He excused himself to consult MT. A. A. Hurd. who i supplies the political passes. When i MT. Black returned he informed the man who was waiting that no passes would be given out to candidates The candidate kept his appointment, but he paid his fare both ways
 Other silver candidates who applied for transportation met the same fate and tf1e secretary of the state central committee told a reporter that none of the candidates was given 3 Pess SO far as he knows.
 It has been the custom of the rail- roads to give all candidates for inn portant offices passes and no discrini- nation has been made heretofore 1 The Populist and Democratic com mittees are short of funds and the ae- tion of the railroads will somewhat cripple the candidates.
 David Overnyer, who fs one of the strongest speakers in the campaign, never uses a pass and says he would not accept one if it were offered I Some time ago he attended a soldiers reunion and made a speech It is GUS tomary to pay the expenses of the speakers and the committee on ar engagements paid Mir Overmyer's hotel bill. but they said nothing about rail road fare. In speaking of the matter
 he said: "They seem to take it for
 granted that I used a pass and paid my own railroad fare"
 The custom has been so universal that the silverites are somewhat dazed
 by the position of the railroads in this
 campaign.

THE NEW SULTAN.
Death of One Ruler No Sooner An
 nounced Than Another Steps in.

ZANZIBAR, Aug. 26.-The night was passed quietly. Said Khalid is still in possession of the palace square. The guns which were trained on the Brit ish warships Philomel, Brush and Sparrow, which landed sailors to pro- tect the British consulate, where all the ladies are lodged, remain so. The warships are moored opposite to the palace square. The commanders are awaiting orders from the British gov ernment. LKhalid took possession of the palace immediately after the an- nouncement of the death of Sultan Hamid Bin Twain, Bin Said pronounc- ing himself the sultan. He has barri- caded himself in the palace with 700 armed Askaris following the example of his father, who took the same step but who was overawed by the British forces which established the late sul- tan in his stead.
 The British first-class cruisers St. George, of twelve guns. and the flag ship, at the Cape of Good Hope and the west coast of the Africa station with Rear Admiral Harry w. Rawson on board, has arrived here and landed 250 additional men to protect prop erty and maintain order.
 Admiral Rawson this afternoon re l ceived cable instructions from the British government A message was also received here by the British con. sul from the foreign office. The ad. miral and consul held another confer. ence, at the end of which an ultimatun was sent to Said khalid to haul dow1 the flag and surrender with his forces no later than 9 o'clock tomorrow morn ing. and if he fails to do so the palace will be promptly bombarded by tht British warships. All British sub jeets have been requested to embarl on the warships here by o'clock to morrow morning.

HIS OWN FAULT

As things look now. the man who
writes the life of Thomas b. Reed. If
ever his career is put between enduring
covers. will say that, In the year 1896.
his defeat for the presidential nominal
tion was due to the fact that he per-
mibted himself to be elected speaker of
the Fifty-fourth congress. The accept
blunder in Mr. Reeds career; at least.
that is the conclusion which one
reaches in the month of April while
results that are to be reached in the
month of June are held in solution.
The makeup of the house commit
tees IN the Fifty-fourth congress will
prove to be the rock on which Speaker
Reeds ambition wSs wrecked-assum-
ing that. at St. Louis, he is going to
inglorious defeat as we believe he
surely Is going. The wisdom he thought
he was displaying in the composition
of the committees will prove to be his
foolishness.
For instance. Speaker Reed was
urged to give the chairmanship of the
committee on ways and means 10 Mr.
Payne. a well-liked member of the New
York delegation. Instead, for motives
which undoubtedly he deemed TO be
clever he gave that conspicuous honor
to a Maine man. This he did because
he believed the record OF the session
would be Reeds record; he could shape
and control that record through Nelson

indications seem TO be that the state
prefers Mckinley.

UP TO DATE.

Many calculations are out respecting
the present relative strength of the
republican candidates Few of the es-
Inmates agree. yet some of them are
near enough alike to furnish, as the
result of a comparison of them, a fairly
accurate view of the situation. There
are now more than five hundred dele
gates chosen, leaving about 410 to be
elected. II the territories are allowed
the representation they ask for, the st.
Louis convention will have 91S men,
bers; II the territories are refused, the
membership will be 906. OF course, not
all Of the delegates are under instruc-
lions. Then, too, there will be many
contesting delegations from southern
states. That is always the rule. and
the unusual boldness with which pro-
lection fat is used this year will make
the contestants a more numerous body
than ever.
Several estimates that have lately
been printed do not vary much from
figures furnished this week in the Phil
adelphia Press, which, taking account
of the delegates now elected, except
North Dakota, with estimates on
Maine, New Jersey and Kentucky, give
Mckinley 251, Reed II. Morton 67, ALI
son A. and so on, down to IL for
Cullom.
Meanwhile, one after the other, the
republican state conventions are giving
great encouragement to the managers
who predict the adoption of a single
gold platform at st. Louis.

My Little ID m pie heck.

There are days of cares and crosses
Mixed with ledgers. pen and ink,
OF profits and of losses
As the values rise and sink;
But when dusk and dew are stealing
Ger the mountains and the lea
There's childish laughter pealing
And a kiss that waits for me.
Till my burdened heart is beating
With the love IT fain would speak,
In the clinging and the singing
OF my little dimple cheek.
There's a chain of childish troubles
Then unfolded in my ear.
which to me doth seem as bubbles
On the sea of childhood clear,
But we share them both together.
Till my troubles fit away.
And we never mind the weather.
Be IL winter. be IL May;
For catch a glimpse of sunshine
That shall hallow all the week,
In the clinging and the singing
OF my little dimple cheek.
Tell me what of wealth's possessions.
And the gay attendant train.
What of honor's bright concessions.
Mingling pleasure up with pain;
What could they bring to bless me.
Realms below or realms above.
Like a dear one TO caress me,
And TO measure out her love?
For the Lord He doth reward us
In the ways diverse we seek
In the clinging and the singing
OF a little dimple cheek.

THEY'RE AFTER horton.

The Mckinley machine is no respecter
of persons, 1t does not hesitate to OPP
crate in any field where IL has a sus-
picion that stray delegates can be cap
tured The Ohio forces have invaded
the state Of New York. They are noisy
troopers. They are carrying on a Wig
orous crusade in several of the inland
counties, in complete disregard of the
fact that, weeks ago, a state conven-
ton instructed New York's delegation
to support Governor Morton.
These Mckinley workers have dis
covered that Thomas c. Plat is very
bad man and that Governor Morton is
too weak to be a successful president
because his official conduct is managed
and controlled by Plat. 1t ought to
entertain Central New Workers to be
taught by Ohio stumpers that Morton
is a nobody and Plat a trickster.
Yet it appears that the Mckinley
campaign is really making Roadway I'm
Governor Morton's bailiwick. In sever
al inland cities enthusiastic Mckinley
rallies have been held and, in instances,
influential republican newspapers, by
their cordial mention of Mckinley. are
weakening the governors hold on his
own state. These newspapers profess
to recognize the obligation which the
state conventions instructions impose;
at the same time, they are as loud in
their praise of the Ohio mans meetings
as Mr.. Hanna could wish them to be.

Pennsylvania has been putting up

Worst of all was the laundering man
ner in which Speaker Reed dealt with
southern constituencies. To the Fifty
fourth congress the South sent an I'M
usually large delegation. Republican
members from southern states are COM
paratively a novelty In congress. but
these were sent in force for this con-
gress; practically Speaker Reed ig-
nored them, with the result that, to-
day, the South is as good as solid
against him.
Mr.. Reed ought never to have tried
for the Office of speaker in the present
congress. In his committee assign
ments he Numbered badly. The chances
at this hour are a good deal more than.
even that he is whipped for the st.
