Although Senator Jones declared when

was 10 issue call to the plain people for
money This circular was almost pathetic
in its language, and was done for effect. IL

owners were not putting up all the money
needed SO far. Senator Jones Is following
the example Of the last Democratic ma
tional committee. and begging for money.

Jones's circulars or his tactics. for, as he
said when he first came here he had plenty
OF money and he Ia going TO IL.
He has found a new angel" and. owing

ANDERSON, Ind, Aug. 30.-The Indiana
window-glass manufacturers and workers
wage committees left tonight for Pittsburg
to attend the second conference which will
be held Tuesday. The first was unsuccess-
full in reaching an adjustment of the scale
for the coming year. The manufacturers
wanted the equivalent of a 10 per cent. cut
on last years scale and the workers asked
an advance. The latter finally came down
however, and offered to sign at the old
scale. The manufactures stood firm and
the workers will come lower The
chances for settlement at this conference
do not look promising. though the manu-
facturers requested this meeting. The un-
settled condition of the financial question is
reSpOnsible.

The Chronicles Flag.

The Chicago papers are preparing TO give
their readers an account of everything that
Happens in Indianapolis this week. All OF
them will have forces here sufficient to re-
port the convention as fully as either the
ST. Louis Chicago convention was re-
ported. Their artists are here now pre-
pairing sketches of everything that will be
of interest that can be reproduced in black
and white for use as soon as the conven-
ton begins. The Chronicle has opened an
Office in the Grand Opera House block
where it will have two wires direct to Chi
cago for the transmission of the news. Its
corps of reporters for the occasion is some
what inclined to mix little fun with busi-
ness. Their rooms in the Denison House
show that they appreciate everything that
Is going on and see a ridiculous side TO
most things. The staff is composed OF five
men, and is represented by flag on the
wall OF their rooms containing five bars
with single star in the field The star
represents the Chronicle and the bars the
men. Two of the bars are red, two blue
and the middle one green. The green one
is for the single IriShman on the staff. All
kinds of notices on the wall, most of
which would be meaningless when repro
duced in cold type. but when seen with
their surroundings and with the associa-
tions known all have a distinct and pc
culiar ms aiming. The boys will not nave TO
work very hard until tonight SO they have
been amusing themselves seeing the town,
and there is little of it that is not now IA
