"Who was he talkin to, Jule?" The

There was little pause. Julia, still
blushing, adjusted an imaginary hair
pin. The negro looked sheepishly from
one to the other. The squire repeated
his question.
"Who was he talkin to, Jule?"
Nobody but me-" said the young
lady. growing redder. Her embarrass-
ment was not lessened by an involunta-

Fambrough raised his eyes heavenward
and allowed both his heavy hands to
drop helplessly by his side.
"What was he taIkin about?" The old
man spoke with apparent humility.
"N-o-t-h-i-n-g," said Julia demure-

BRYAN CLAIMS EVERYTHING.
The Democratic Forecast Has Him Elected
and All But lnauguraied.

Chicago. Sept. 21.-J. q. Johnson of
Kansas, member of the Democratic ma
tional committee. said. today: Nv hen
Senator Jones and his associates began
the Headquarters work of this campaign
the line was drawn around a certain
number of states which could be depend
ed upon to cast their electoral votes for
Mr. BRYAN. Then a few more states
which we could be sure of were added.
making the total vote more than enough
TO elect our man. In this latter class OF
states the silver sentiment has been
hardening steadily and the results of our
organization work TO date give no indi-
cation that Mckinley can carry any OF
these states we are concentrating our
work upon.
1t is only necessary for US 10 curry
two big Western states. such AS Minnie
sofa, Indiana. Iowa or Illinois. to turn
the electoral vote over to Mr. Bryan. old
and experienced politicians say that if
Bryan carries Kansas it will not be by
less than 10000 majority. NotWltlStand-
ing what Gen. GrosVenor says. we stand
Il good chance of carrying Ohio as llli-
nois.
In Michigan there is the strongest
combination possible working for Mr..
Bryans success. We have the benetiI of
these Republican defections. which
amount to thousands. Only twice in the
last Ii years have the Republicans at
their best had 50 per cent. of the total
vote of Michigan. and within the last 81
days it has become practically Il certain
Bryan state.
In Illinois reliable party workers in
every county outside of Cook county have
compiled estimates and say MIR Bryan
will come up to Desplaines river with 40.
900 majority The vote in Cook county
which IS two-tifths of the total illinois, is
an uncertain quantity. but the conditions
are favorable TO MIR. Bryan getting a
large majority of the votes. There are
known to be here twice as many Repub-
leans who will vote for Bryan as there
are Democrats who will vote against him
1t is not eXtraVagant TO say that I;ry-
and viii carry every state south of the
Ohio and Potomac and west of the MissiS-
Sippi. That being true any two states
out of the states north of the Ohio river
and east of the Mississippi will elect him
There is no more danger of Bryan losing
Texas than there is of his losing Arkan-
sas. The Southern men 1 have talked
with simply laugh ut the idea of Mckin-
ley carrying louisiana.

Berlin, Sept 20.--The anti-Turkish
meetings which have been held In
various populous centres throughout
Germany show the rapidly increasing
concern in the massacres of Christians
in the Sultan's dominions. The Cath
Ollie clergy have not as yet taken Sc
active a part in the agitation as the
Protestant clergy have but the Cath

the Armenian relief funds and the

The Reichsbote, the Conservative Or
gan, pours torrents of wrath at tIe
alleged German apathy in the matter
of the slaughter of Christians saying
the question is whether Germany Is
apathetic. 1t is true the government

every quarter of the empire come
signs that the great political parties.

The Kreuse Zeitung announces that
conservatives of Germany are begin

people of England at the Sultans in

the English demand for the deposition
Of the Sultan. The best scheme to be
