On the best authority it can be stated
that the late meeting of the Populist
leaders with Senator Jones has definite
ly fixed a basis for the Endorsement of
Bryan. Senator Jones was introduced
to the meeting by Senator Stewart.
There were sixty leaders present. rep
resenting every section OF the country.
Senator Peffer was Chairman Hon.
Tom Patterson of Colorado, Lewelinc
Yonge, Daniels and Breidenthal of Kan-
sas, Fred Bailey of Oklahoma and
Cantwell of Illinois We're among the
prominent conferees. Senator Jones
stated that his mission was to secure
the support of the Populists for Bryan.
He spoke for ten minutes to a re-
sponsive audience. and at his conclu-
sion all were of one mind. The telling
points of his appeal were these: Bryan
will know no party distinctions among
those who support him, and will recog-
nize all as patriots working for COM
mon cause The Populists will not be
considered dependent step-children of
the Democratic party"
The applause and hand-shaking that
followed was sure Indication that a
bargain was ratified. but the actual
terms are not made public.

Strong Speaking Campaign.

CANTON (O), July 19.-The Republi-
cans expect to conduct a very strong
speaking campaign. Major McKinley's
managers, in looking over the list of
available speakers find that they have
more than fifty men of wide acquaint-
ance and established reputation upon

SPOKANE CWash.), July 19.-The sun
is hidden from view at this point by
dense smoke from the fierce forest fires
that are raging in the mountains in this
vicinity.
Reports from points in the mountains
say that miners and prospectors are
fiocking down into the valleys by hum
dreds, many of them having lost ali
they possessed. w. F. Kohlhauff and
Frank Childs. who have just returned
from the north fork of the Salmon
River in British Columbia, say that
the fires have gained great headway
there. These two men were engaged at
the Arnold mines, when the fire came
down so fast that they barely escaped
with their lives. The camp, with the
shafthouse, tools and supplies, was
burned The fires have not yet pene-
trated the thick underbrush in the.
valleys, being so far confined to the
mountain sides. Similar reports have
been received from all mining camps
to the northward. In the vicinity of
Kaslo, SLOGAN and Sandon cities, Brit
ish Columbia, the miners have been
compelled to flee for their lives. Around
Rossland, British Columbia, it is still
high on the mountains, but it is rapidly
sweeping downward. The flames have
gained such headway that any attempt
to stop them is fruitless.
AS the heavy timber around Rossland
and Trail Greek has been cut away
there is little damage of these towns
suffering, but several large mining
plants near the former place and the
big smelter at the latter are in danger.
Large crews of men are fighting the
flames night and day. The railway
company is having great trouble in
running its trains on account of the
large number of trees which constantly
fail across the rails.
The CatiSpell Mountains. a short dis
tance from Spokane, are on fire and the
flames are fast creeping down into the
valleys, causing great alarm among the
ranchers. On the Colville Indian Res
ervation serious damage has been done
and the worst is yet to come Pros
pectors just in from that section say
that the damage to timber will amount
to millions of dollars. A great many
prospectors have lost all they possessed
and consider themselves lucky to get
out with their lives. Rain is the only
hope.

A QUESTION.

Wouldn't you consider a
man capable of doing the most
intricate work, capable of doing
the simple work also?
Would you consider a man
capable only of doing the sim
pie work, quite as capable for
that work, as the more skillful
one?
We have been getting ALL
your intricate and difficult
work during the years past,
now let us have ALL your
work which requires less skill;
then note after it leaves our
hands how much better it
looks-see if it does not give
you better satisfaction.
Your watch Is one of your
best friends;it merits the treat
ment you accord your friends.
We give it such treatment.
1t is our business. Ten years
Of satisfactory work have
given US the reputation for the
best; and yet we are doing
better work to day than ever.
We are working just as hard
to keep that reputation as we
ever did to gain it. We are
not content to rest easy, and
let the reputation do all the
work; the quality will never be
lessened.
DO you know that your old
key winder can be converted to
a stem winder, and that it can
be done so it will wind as
smooth as melted btuter? We
have converted a number Of

left she was drawing q feet 8

with her $500 tons of sugar to sea.

POLITICAL REVIEW.

Since the last mail the Hawaii
an Legislature has accomplished
very little beyond finally passing
the appropriation bill for salaries
and pay rolls, which goes to the
President today. After working
fifty days on the bill, the amount
voted exceeds the amount in the
original bill by $500. In the
Senate Minister Damon's bill to
refund the present bonded
Indebtedness Of the coun-
try by issuing new loan
at Al per cent, with an allowance
of Is per cent for discount and
q per cent for commissions, was
laid on the table by a vote of 7 to
3, after much consideration of
elaborate majority and minority re-
ports. The big discount and COM
missions allowed were the cause
of the untimely end of the bill.
The project is not dead, and will
probably come up again in the
shape of a 5 per cent loan at par
or 4 per cent loan at 81 with 2
per cent allowance for commits
sions.
The House has been frittering
away its time on the appropria-
ton bill until the last few days.
1t is now engaged in undoing the
work of the Senate on the license
bill, in which operation it will
probably put in another week,
necessitating a conference be-
tween the two Houses on that
measure.
The Executives bill, appropria-
ting S75O,000 from the proceeds of
the proposed loan, has been intro
duced in the Senate and
is now in the hands of the
printer. Among the principal
items are $4,000 for new school
schoolhouses and. teachers cot
tages, $4,000 for central fire
station in this city, $4,000 for a
new wharf at Hilo, S127,7 700 for
harbor improvements at Honolu-
lu, 100000 for new roads on Ha-
waii, $4,000 for new roads in Ho-
nolulu, $4,000 for the road over
the Nuuanu Pail, $4,000 for
waterworks improvements in this
city and $4,000 for immigration.
Consideration of this bill will give
the Senate plenty to do next week.
