Not u Candidate.

Upon the return of Mr.. w. P.
Mars to the city on Wednes-
day evening, he was met by
a delegation bearing a lengthy
petition, asking that he allow
the use Of his name for the office
of mayor at the coming contest.
Mr.. Mars, however, had no DO.
litical bee, and did not accede to
the request. Had he desired
this position Of honor, and had
made his wishes known during
the incipient days Of the present
strife, there would have been
but one candidate in the field
Mr.. W, P. Mars. But Business
interests SO occupy his attention
as to render it practically impos-
sible for him to accept Of the
honorary position with it's addi
tional amount of labor.

POLITICAL POINTERS
From Headquarters in Washington-San
Small Takes the Stump for Bryan.

Washington. Aug. 13.-Chairman
Faulkner of the democratic congressional
committee returned today from New
York. where he took part in the Bryan
meeting last night.
st was the most remarkable outpour-
ing | have ever seem" he said. "The
people were not drawn by fireworks or
any of the accessories which usually at
tract a crowd. They came to hear Bry-
an and his cause. 1t was notable that
when the candidate laid aside his manu-
script and addressed the open air meet
ing there was a waste of that same en-
thusiasm shown at Chicago. The speech
of acceptance is an able and scholarly
treatment of the subject, and it will prove
one of the most valuable campaign docu-
ments. 1t is document which circulates
itself and does not need frank, for the
press of the entire country prints it. The
demand for Bryan's Chicago speech is
unprecedented. | received re-
quest from San Francisco for 100000
copies. 1t was impossible TO supply them.
So sent a revised copy of the speech and
notified them to print the 100000 in San
Francisco, saving the freight | antici-
pate quite as heavy a demand for the
speech of last night"
The Rev. Sam Small, the evangelist,
was one of Mr.. Faulkner's callers today,
and offered his services for Mr.. Bryan
during the campaign. Mr.. Small de-
clares there is a verltable silver tidal
wave in Illinois, Wisconsin and Kansas
On the 21st instant Mr.. Small will have
a joint debate with Hon. William E.
Mason of Chicago.
Mr.. Faulkner received word from Hon.
7. Wat Hardin that Kentucky could be
depended on to give the "old-time ma
jority" for the democratic ticket.

PAN-AMERICAN CONGRESS.
In Session in the City of Mexico-Scv
eral Countries Not Represented.

Mexico City, Aug. 13-The sessions
of the Pan-American congress have be-
gun here, although most of the strong
countries have abstained from sending
delegates. This congress was called at
he instigatiOn of Ecuador and that re-
public is represented, as also are Mex
leo, Guatemala, Salvador, Costa Rica
and Honduras. Sessions are held daily
at the national palace and are private,
being presided over by Ecuadorean min
lister Luis Carlo.
Minister Marsical in welcoming the
delegates, regretted that so many impor-
tant countries had not acceded to the in
vitation and remarked that this had been
foreseen by the Mexican government,
which, in spite of this fact. was glad
to extend its hospitality to the delegates
and facilitate their labors in all posi-
bic ways.
Torrentia rains on the Isthmus of
Panama following the great drought
have washed away bridges and washed
out part of the line, but is expected re-
pairs will soon be made
The weather here continues delight
fully cool and snow on the volcanoes is
augmenting.

no choice, the leading candidates being
j. NJ. Rowan and j. NJ. Tucker.
Late in the afternoon j. NJ. Tucker was
nominated on the third ballot for state
treasurer, amid scenes of wild disorder
and after Il hot fight, in which the ant.
Watts forces threatened to bolt the con.
vention if their man, Mr.. Tucker. was
counted out.
Tucker was nominated by big ma
Jority. the anti-Watts faction capturing
fifteen votes in the Ohio county (Wheel-
ingl delegation, which had, on previous
ballots, cast solidly for Rowan, the state
administration candidate.
The convention then nominated I. $
Riley of Wheeling for attorney general,
Virgil A. Lewis for superintendent of
schools and j. II. Holt for supreme
judge. The proceedings were rather tur-
bulent. AT 8 o'clock tonight Chairman
Clinton stated the committee could not
arrange an electoral ticket with the pop
ulists. A resolution comforting power to
the committee to arrange plenary powers
to deal with the populists, was read and
adopted and the convention adjourned
sine die.

come by cable from Norway announcing
the return of the Arctic explorer, Nam
sen, safely from his novel and adventur-
Gus voyage in the Fran, Commodore
Melville, engineer in chief of the navy,
who was Il member of the Inflated Jean
cite party. which served as the pattern
for Nansen's attempt upon the north
pole, holds that the result of the eXplor-
er's voyage as now understood here clear
ly proves Nansen's theory of polar drift
to be groundlcss. In the opinion of Com
modore Melville Nansen has only closely
paralleled the celebrated voyage of
Wiprecht and Payer in the Tegethoff,
and has followed their drift. The Tege-
thoff rounded the north point of Nova
Semba with the intention of travcrsing
the north coast of Siberia. Her com
manders got in the ice and drifted north
and east while the gulf stream favored
in the early fall. Afterwards. when the
stream lost its force, they drifted south
and west, bringing up on Wiltsee island.
one of Il small group southwark of Franz
,Iosefland. During the winter their ship
was crushed. and in the following sum-
mer they escaped in their boats and were
picked up off Cape Nassau, one of the
islands of Nova Xembla. Nansen, Com
modorc Melville points out has had II
very similar experience. He did not
enter the ice on the side of the polar
basin from where he was picked up, so
his trip fails to prove that II current eN-
lists that may he relied upon to carry Il
ship across the polar waters and bring it
down on the east side of Greenland. As
Il matter OF fact he was last heard from,
according TO Commodore Melville, east
ward of Nova Xembla, and he has just
drifted northward and back again. This
is precisely in accord with the judgment
passed upon Nansen's theory before he
undertook his voyage, by Commodore
Melville, who had carefully calculated
the probable drift in the Arctic regions,
north of the New Siberian islands, from
the experience he had with the Jeanette.
AS to Nansen's course. he says that while
it is not known exactly just where he en-
tered the ice, he doubtless entered north
ward of Nova Zcmbla, and this would
give him just the right drift to emerge
where he is reported TO have been pick
ed up.

BLAKE FOR STATE CuAIp,IAN
NORTH CAROLINA POPULIsTs.
Nominate State Ticket-Called to Or
der by Senator Butler.

Raleigh, n. c., Aug. 13.-The populist
state convention was called to order at
noon today by Senator Butler who
named l.. c. Caldwell, mayor of States
vile, as temporary chairman. After
the announcement of the various COM
mittees and vice presidents, the conven-
ton took IA recess for two hours.
There was no contest and the report
OF the credentials committee provoked
no discussion. Congressman Skinner was
made permanent chairman. He said the
populist party had swallowed the demo-
Gratis. compelling them to adopt a popu-
list platform and name populist for
the presidency. The platform adopted
aftirms the st. Louis platform.
Maj. VIM. Guthrie and DR.. CYRUS
Thompson, president of the State Farm
ers' Alliance. were put in nomination for
governor. The fight was very bitter but
resulted in a victory for Guthrie by n
vote of 791 to 321. Senator Butler was
bitterly arraigned by some of the speak
ers.
After a fight of two hours. O. III.
Dockery, a prominent republican, who
was barely defeated for the republican
nomination for governor. was nominated
for lieutenant governor over Melbourne
by vote of 2S4 to 272. DIR. Thomp-
son, who was defeated for governor. was
nominated for secretary of state. State
Treasurer w. Ii. Worth was uDani-
mously renominated.
At i a. IN. the convention was still in
session.

At the republican headquarters Chair
man Babcock's return has given renewed
activity to all branches of work. He sent
for several printers, who are getting out
large supplies of literature, and directed
an increase of the supply. The magni-
tude of this work is Unprecedented.
Mr.. Babcock had not read the Bryan
speech up to noon. He promptly dis
missed report that Il joint debate would
be arranged between Maj. Mckinley and
Mr.. Bryan. While he says he has no au-
thorty for saying what Maj. Mckinley
will do, he is satisfied that the Bryan
speaking tours will not bring about any
change of plans on the part of Maj. Me
kinley, and certainly nothing like II joint
debate

TOLD OF HIS PREDICAAIENT.
Prohibition Vice Presidential Candidate
Officially Notified.

Chicago, Aug. 13.-The Hon. Hale
johnson, "straight-out" prohibition can
didate for the vice presidency of the
United States, having been nominated by
the national convention of that party at
Pittsburg, is now officially aware of that
fact. He was formally informed of the
honor conferred upon him at s o'clock
of the notification committee there as
sembled the Rev. w. Oliver Stewart of
Illinois. In delivering the formal mott
tication to Mr.. Johnson he reviewed the
fact that Mr.. Johnson had been nominal
ted by the prohibition convention of IL
linois for governor before the high honor
was conferred on him.
Mr.. johnson, responding. said in part:
The action of the majority of the con-
vention at Pittsburg in making the pro-
hibition of the liquor traffic the only ar
ticle i'll our political creed meets my most
hearty appreciation.
For the first time in its history, the
party is in a position to invite the CO.
operation of all the friends of prohibi-
ton, without asking them to sacrifice
their convictions on any other question.
The dissatisfied elements in the old par
ties. which are the only source of supply
in building up our party, will not come
to us if they are compelled to vote for
several measures in which they do not
believe i'll order to vote for one in which
they do believe.
MANY of our people believe that our
present financial depression, low prices
and hard times are the result of bad
financial legislation and that an increase
in the amount of money by the free coin
age of silver would prove remedy for
these conditions. | concur with them
in their opinion that we must return to
the full and free use of both of these met
ais i'll order to keep our circulating me-
dunn i'll Il proper proportion to our pop
ulation, but ! do not believe in the pres
ent condition of affairs that the free
coinage of silver would afford us any sub
stantial relief With more money in
circulation, although we might Temporal
rily have better times. the sum wasted
in the saloons would be increased so that
it would not permanently benefit us in
any appreciable degree.
ut is doubtless true that the storm
center in politics this wear will be be-
tween the free coinage of silver at IA
ito of 16 to l and the maintenance of
the existing gold standard Voters will
be lmportuned to postpone the settlement
of the liquor question until the financial
question is settled. as we have been here
tofore importuncd to postpone it until
the tariff question was settled
