conviction is strong that all the silver
forces should combine on Mr.. Bryan and
thereby insure his election.
'Will the new free-coinage Republican
party attempt to make nominations for
State officerS?''
mo. the intention is to use their infiu-
ence to combine the silver forces TO defeat
to the United States Senate in place of
Senator Squire, whose term expires next
March. great many Republicans in ad-
dition to those in favor of silver Will aid
in defeating McGraw.

Yes. Pierce county. in which Tacoma is.

CAR BARNS DESTROYED
CHICAGO CITY RAILWAY COMPANY
SUFFERS LOSS OF s5OO,OOO.
054 Cars and Fourteen Horses Bnrned
Several Employees Of the Road
and Firemen Injured.

CHICAGO, July 1s.-The car barns of the
Chicago City Railway Company on Cot
tage Grove avenue. near Thirty-ninth
street, were destroyed by fire tonight. The
barns were 15O feet long, 400 feet deep and
occupied three-fourths Of a square. They
were filled with cars. being the stable for
the entire system. The company lost 55f
cars 160 of them being grip cars. Not d
thing in the buil1ing was saved. The loss
is estimated at fully s5oO,0OO, the building
and contents being insured for s3ll, 900. The
fire. once started, burned with great rapid
ity and the firemen experienced great diff
Guilty in preserving many Of the adjoin-
ing buildings, They managed however, to
confine the fire to the car barns. Several
firemen were badly hurt by a portion Of
the front wall when it. toppled over, but
their injuries will not prove fatal. A fire
engine was smashed by the same wall. II
is thought the fire originated from the
crossing of two electric light wires. OF
thirty horses in the barn sixteen were
saved and fourteen were burned in their
stalls. Following is a list of the casual

TAUBENECK TALKS.
The POpuIist Leader Opposed to In
dorsing DemOcracy's Ticket


ST. LOUIS, July 1s-Chairman Tauben-
eek. of the Peoples party national commit
tee, who has had nothing to say for pub
lication since the Chicago convention. has
at last broken his silence and submitted to
an interview.
Are you in favor of the Populis;s in
dorsing the Democratic ticket named at
Chicago?" he was asked.
mo. Under no consideration will vote
to indorse Bryan and Sewall at the Popu-
list convention to be held in this city JuIy
o. That would mean the surrender AMI de-
struction of the Peoples party organ'za-
tion."
/. Have you any idea what the Pop'.lists
will do towards combining all the elements
opposed to the gold stan.llri in the COM
ing campaign"
II believe that the People s.party convcn-
ton will favor the idea of nominating Il
candidate for President and Vice President
and then combine the votes of The two
PARTIES on one set OF electors. This can be
done without the saerlnGe OF prlncip,cs or
DO you believe that II the Peoples party
national convention should indorse Mr..
Rrvan that the entire vote of that party
would go 10 Bryan at the polls next NO
vember."
mo: II the HeCple party ndtlOndl cOH-
vention should indorse Mr.. Bryan and Mr..
Sewall the leaders could not deliver more
than e6 per cent. OF the Populist vote
throughout the United States. The men,
bers of the Peoples party possess a
strong individuality and will not follow
their leaders IL they attempt to lead them
in the Peoples party would be large
enough to defeat Mr.. Bryan in many of
the Western States.
do you think that if the Peoples party
should nominate a candidate for President
and Vice President and then combine on
electors that the entirei vote could be
polled for such electors?"
Yes, l believe thai the full Populist
strength could be polled at the November
election for the electors. This in my opn-
ion. is the only possible way to defeat
Mckinley at the polls next November.
Since the Chicago convention I have COM
municated with the Populists throughout
the United States and know that the Dem
ocratic ticket nominated at Chicago will
not be indorsed by our convention next
week.

DIR. HAGEMHN'S INVENTION.
A Cincinnatian's Device for Correct
ing the False Notes Of Pianos.

CINCINNATI. O., July H.-Dr S. A.
Hageman, of this city. has applied for
patent on an invention which promises to
create a sensation among musicians. 1t
Is a mechanism to be APPLIED TO the piano
for the purpose OF correcting the false
tones of that instrument. which have
hitherto been regarded as n necessary
evil The invention makes the piano as
true as the violin and IT accomplishes the
result by a sort of mechanical lingering
similar TO the human lingering on the
VIOLIN Competent musicians say the
problem has been successfully solved. The
inventor is n half brother of the late Pro-
fessor David Swing, Of Chicago.
