WASHINGTON, Aug. 1.-The Republican
congressional committee announces that
the campaign textbook would be ready
for distribution on Monday.
Among the callers at tho headquarters
were Senator pritchard of North Carroll
ma, who stopped on his way home from a
meeting of the national committee in New
York; General Wilson of Delaware aud
Congressman Coffin Of Maryland. The lat
ter said that tho silver sentiment in tho
country districts was fairly strong, but
that it had developed no strength In the
cities
Senator Jones, chairman of the Dom
Ooratio national committee, is expected
here ON Monday. Immediately after his
arrival the announcement of the location
of the national headquarters will be made
Little doubt Is entertained at the Dem
ooatio congressional headquarters that
Washington will be selected. The fact that
Mr.. st. John, treasurer of the committee,
had engaged rooms at the Bartholdi in
New York led to the announcement from
New York that tho headquarters were to
be located there. This is the result of a
misapprehension. The rooms no engaged
were simply those Of the treasurer. Chair
man Jones will also announce the mem
bership of the executive committee upon
his arrival here.
Senator Faulkner, chairman of the Dem
ooratic congressional committee, has Ie-
/ turned from his home in West Virginia.
| He believes that the national Democratic
headquarters will be located here. lie
says the demand upon his committee for
campaign literature at this early stage is
unprecedented. 1t is confined exclusively
to the money question. The principal
/ speeches called for are those of Represent
ative Towne Senators Teller, Cookrell,
| Vest and Harris.
The temporary and probably the perma-
nent headquarters of the Populist nation
al committee will be located at 1920 New
| York avenue, which is the headquarters
of Senator Stewart and his silver paper
/ Fx- Secretary Turner of the national COM
mittoe is temporarily in charge of the
headquarters and will remain here until
the arrival of Senator Marion Butlor,
chairman, and Secretary Edgerton. They
are expected to reach Washington next
week and will Immediately assume charge.
The transfer of property and OF accounts
will be made by cx-Chairman Taubeneok

InternationaI BimetalIlsm.

ALGoNA, Ia, Aug. 1.-Haryey Inghan,
editor of The Upper Desmoine. has re-
ceived a long letter from Senator Allison
IN which he expresses the belief that an
international agreement on the subject Of
international bimetallism is possible with
in a reasonable time and says this belief
rests first upon the desirableness of such
an agreement. Both precious metals are
necessary as the basis of value and OF the
worlds commerce, which cannot be car
ried on without a reasonably fixed par Of
exchange. The senator then proceeds to
justify his views by citing the evidences
of the growing blmetallip sentiment IN
Gront Britain and Germany and concludes
as follows; ''The silver question Is a vital
one in q worldwide sense and interna-
tonal bimetallism Is making rapid prog
ress IN Europe, and, II we make no mistake
now, is likely to produce practical solu.
tion, whereby silver and gold will again
circulate at q practical parity in value at
an agreed ratio"

What Spanish Pepper Thinks of the
Presidents Warning.
HAVANA, Aug. LA Luoha has q
comment upon the report from Washing
ton that President Cleyeland's proolama-
tion Of warning to flNhusters is designed
to fulfill all necessary preliminary formal
tiles on the part of the United States gov
ernment so as to aid claims for indemni-
ties which the United States intends to
make on Spain for losses suffered by Amer
leans during tfe war In Cuba.
La Luoha observes that such a course
might not be so bad for Spain as appears,
and might even be in her favor, because
the Madrid government would back with
unimpeaohable proofs a claim on the
Washington government for all damages
caused by the negligence which has always
been displayed by the United States gov.
ernment toward the prevention of fhbus-
tering The proved compliance Of local
and high national officials of the United
States with the plans of the filibusters,
says La Lucha, and the facs that they have
lent protection to the arming and dis,
patching of expeditions which they were
ordered 70 prevent constitutes serious
crimo, as President Cleveland in his proc
lamation points out
This journal concludes that where Spain
would have TO pay $40 indemnity she
could easily and surely collect $1,000,

sewalI on the Issue.

BATH, Ne, Aug 1.-Mr Arthur Sewall
expressed himself upon the issue OF the
campaign in an interview, In which ho
said: 1.-THE only issue of the campaign is
free silver. The Republicans have been.
trying to force the tariff TO the front, but
cannot do &C. It is such a secondary issue
that the people are not thinking about it.
The trouble is not there The people want
prosperity, which is having every man at
work and all the wheels moving. pheF
have tried high tariff and low tariff, and
matters have been continually growing
worse, The Democratic party have decided
that the trouble lies ia the financial sys-
tem and the remedy is the remonetlza-
tion OF silver. The people have decided the
same way, and what they want they will
have; also what the people want is right;
it cannot be otherwise. I"
