1T MIGHT HAVE BEEN MORGAN
So Says an Alabama Gentleman Who Claims to Have Been on the Inside" at
 Chicago

Montgomery, July 27.-(Special.) )-"Are you aware" said a gentleman from Ala bama who was in Chicago during the national convention, that if Senator Morgan had not been taken i'll and been prevented from attending the convention the chances are he would have been at the head of the national ticket? We'll, it is fact. While I was very much in terested, l was in no way into the scheme, for I was not a member of the convention, but saw how the matter was being worked. Morgan was not con- suited in the matter, but the scheme was to wait until the convention had assembled, have the great old senator called on for speech and then pro- ceed to nominate him. When it became known that Senator Morgan was too un- we'll to attend the convention the plan was, of course, abandoned.
 'I am a great admirer of Bryan, but believe that Morgan would have been satisfactory to a greater number of peo- pie in the United States than any other man living. Many men who will de- cline to vote for Bryan on account of his free silver views would have voted for Morgan in spite of his financial ideas, and because of his great Americanism, his wonderful knowledge and statesman ship and his phenomenal honesty in oopUroccp

Cyclone Sweeps Over Picnic Party Near Cleveland Demolishing Tower and
 Big Building

Cleveland, O., July 27.-A cyclone struck Buella Park picnic at 9:30 Sunday night, completely destroying several houses, large tabernacle and other val uable property.
 The loss is estimated at many thous- ands of dollars. The grounds were well filled with people, but beyond being soaked by the pouring rain no one was hurt. The storm first struck the water works tower and demolished 1t as though it were bunch of sticks. The large tab ernace, recently ordered for the religious camp meetings, was wrecked not tim Der being left standing. A house was lifted from it's foundation and moved 12 feet. A large bridge over the ravine at Buella park was carried away 200 feet and the chimneys were blown off the Cody hotel. The boarders took fright and started for the tabernacle. Just be- fore they reached 1t the big building was demolished.
 Many tents used by campers were blown away and the occupants left with out a place to stop. A heavy rain ac- companied the wind.
 At Beulah beach party of young men and women were bathing. They were compelled to make their escape in their bathing suits, as their clothes were blown away.
 At Euclid Beach park the Crystal Maze was damaged to the extent of $500. Dur ing the storm tidal wave raised the water 4feet and the steamers Duluth and Superior were almost blown from the wa- far

A Thrifty Negro Found Dead Near Montgom- ery-Body Horribly Mutlated-Three
 Suspects Have Been Arrested.

Montgomery, July 27.-(Special.)-The dead body of Kiab Brown, a colored farmer, was found yesterday in cow path on the Kettles plantation. about eight miles from the city. There were five pistol balls in it and the head had been kicked almost to jelly by the heels of heavy boots. The pockets had been man wore.
 Brown was thrifty negro and always had a sum of money in his pockets. and the motive for his murder was evidently robbery.
 Today Eli Ramsey, Pollard Williams and Frank Hardeman, three apparently tough characters who live in the neigh borhood, were arrested charged with the murder. It is said that Ramsey con- fesses to the crime and boasts that he has killed several other men,

BRIGHTEN OUT THE TANGLE

Lincoln, Neb., July 27.-The result of the long conference last night between Senator Jones, chairman of the demo- cratic national committee, and MT. Bryan has not yet become apparent. From what Senator Jones said just before he left Lincoln it is inferred that no definite plan was arranged to bring about an un- derstanding with reference to the demo- cratic and populist national tickets Mir. Bryan tonight made the following au- thoritatve statement:
 MT. Bryan received a number of tele- grams during the day containing sugges- tions in regard to the action of the popu- list convention. Hd has said that he will act with deiberation and nothing can be done which can be justly criticised by those who are interested in the success of bimetallism. He begs all friends of the cause in all parties to refrain from harsh criticisms of those who, however much they differ otherwise, agree in de- string the immediate restoration of free coinage. He feels sure that solution of all difficulties will be found in due time and that the solution will be honor able to all parties, as well as satisfac- torv o

DRAGGING ITS SLOW LENGTH
The Case of Competitor Prisoners Not Yet Taken Up-General Lee Protests
 Against Fruit Embargo.

Havana, July 27.-The son of General Lee and two gentlemen from the Ameri- can consulate held an interview with the Competitor prisoners on July 24 They were not allowed to enter the prison, but the seven men of the Competitor were taken outside of the fort to guard house for the conference. General Lee being slightly indisposed, was not able to be there in person.
 The prisoners were closely guarded, a double line of pickets being stationed around the guard house. The prisoners had not been out of their cells for two months. All appeared to be in fairly good health. It is understood that the review of the Competitor case will be taken up in the supreme court in Madrid some time in August Nothing whatever has been done as yet in the case.
 Strenuous efforts are being made by General Lee in behalf of the United States government against the order of General Weyler prohibiting the export of fruit. This prohibition is causing an inn mense damage to American commerce and business. The principal reason for the prohibition of the export of fruit at certain seaport towns is that they are virtually in the control of rebels.
 The Spaniards are not able to station large bodies of soldiers at all these places, neither are the Cubans able to openly hold the places on account of the Spanish fleet. But almost all the Cubans shipping fruit are in sympathy with the rebels and furnish them with money. This order is an indirect blow at the rebel resources in Cuba, as the prohibi- tion of the exportation of tobacco was at their resources in the United States.

JOHNSTON IN DeKALB.
Three Thousand Heard Him and Afterward Hundreds Gathered to Shake His
 Hand-Dekab on Fire.

Fort Payne, July 27.-(Special )-Capt. Joseph F. Johnston spoke at Skirum, in DeKalb county, today. Your correspond- ent reached the speaking place by o'clock and by that time 200 people had gathered. The speaking took place in an oak grove on Sand mountain and people from all over DeKalb county and many from Marshall were present.
 By 10 o'clock by a conservative esti- mate there were 5000 people gathered around the speakers stand waiting for Payne military band was present and entertained the people until our next governor drove up from Collinsville.
 As Captain Johnston drove up the band struck up an inspiring air and the crowd began to cheer. The people were in excellent spirits and gave their leader a most hearty welcome.
 Hon. w, w. Haralson of Fort Payne introduced the speaker and for two hours the people crowded around and listened attentively, even eagerly, to each word as 1t fell from Captain Johnstons lips. A great speech was made and the peo- pie were much pleased and impressed.
 At the conclusion of the speech hum dreds crowded around, shook hands with Captain Johnston and promised allegi. ance to the cause which had been so ably defended. On the mountains in north Alabama something makes dem- ocrat feel good. The honest men and pure women know that democracy is best for all and all alike worship at the democratic shrine.

The Middle West Wants "Sound Money"
 Screws and Dissertations.
THE EAST BANKERS FOR SILVER LIGHT
Senator Mitchell on the Fence-Mr. Jones Expected to Open the Washington Headquarters This Week-Repub-
 lican Committee Cackles.

Washington, July 27.-The demands for campaign literature at republican, and democratic congressional headquar- ters is unprecedented. Singularly enough the requests for. sound money litera- ture come largely from the doubtful mid dle western states, which the democrats are confident of carrying. On the other hand the greatest interest is shown in silver literature in such of the eastern states as are believed to be reliably re- publican. This is especially true of New York, Pennsylvania and the New Eng land states. aa
 Senator Mitchell of Wisconsin has been the only conspicuous caller at democratic headquarters during the past week. At that time Senator Mitchell was unde- cided whether he would support the Chi cago ticket or not. He is reported 10 have said that he was elected by gold democrats and that he did not see how he could consistently favor an economic policy contrary to their wishes.
 Senator Jones of Arkansas, the chair man of the democratic national commit tee, will return to Washington within a few days, and this Is interpreted at head quarters to mean that the visit Will pc made in pursuance of his purpose 10 es- tablish himself here during the cam palgn.
 There is much qualification expressed at republican headquarters at the re- ceipt of letter from Miles Hazard, an extensive rice planter of Georgetown, 5: C., in which he takes strong ground against free coinage. MT Hazards let ter closes in these words: While free coinage will increase the wealth Of silver miners. and more money not suitable to the trade will be in circulation, 1t is not going to benefit the rice planters and sugar planters, who will still have to cope with foreign competition, which means cheap rice and sugar, made so cheap by cheap labor that we cannot cope with them. For myself l shall vote for Major Mckinley, as he represents sound money and protection. We have lived under it, prospered under. 1t and know that there is no experiment. Free silver and free trade does not suit our industry It cannot suit the south. The day is not distant when cotton planters will be forced to ask for protection from the increased annual shipment of cotton from Egypt, and the factories from the formidable competition that will arise from Japan and China. These branches of our southern industries have not yet felt the blight as we have in coping with Japan's, China's and Egypt's cheap la bor. Is it prudent for them to aid in keeping sound money and protection apart?"

NORTH CAROLINA POPS
In Doubt as to Fusion-Butler Says Bryan
 Will Garry the State.

Raleigh, N. O., July 27.-Interest in po- litical developments in North Carolina is intense. Delegates to the national pop ulist convention who returned today say the populists will certainly not fuse with the republicans in this state, even though offered majority of electors. They de- cline to say what will be done regarding electoral fusion with the democrats, but rumors are current that when the demo- cratic state committee meets here next Friday evening proposition for elec- toral fusion will be made by the popu- lists Senator Butler says: There IS not doubt whatever that Bryan will carry North Carolina. We will have fu- sion and everything will come out all right" rrr7tz rs4a
 He does not say whether this fusion will be with the democrats or republi- cans. The populist convention will meet August 13. That of the democrats has already been held. The republican state convention, will meet August 5. Fusion on the county and legislative tickets has already been arranged in a majority of the counties.

CTS of several of the best known of trans


 Atlantic steamers.
 The yards, with marine engineering works attached, cover an area of nearly eighty acres. The firm employed up- wards of 5000 hands, and the compulsory idleness of large number of them will cause much inconvenience, if not suffer ing, among their families. The yards were on the admiralty list as suitable for building vessels for the royal navy.
 The fire began early this morning in the engine fitting department, and as a high wind was blowing the flames spread rapidly despite the efforts of the local firemen who were greatly assisted in their work by the employees in the yards. The fire was communicated to the build ings in the shipyards of Workman, Clark & Co.,, adjoining Harland & Wolff's. The buildings in both yards which were mostly huge wooden struc- lures, were destroyed. An immense quantity of valuable machinery belong ing to vessels now in course of finishing at the yards was ruined, as were also tools and machinery belonging to varf- ous shops. A conservative estimate of the loss is $1 ,250, ,000.

The Revolt Against the Porte Extends to
 Macedonia.

London, July 27.-Advices received here are to the effect that the uprising in Macedonia against Turkish authority is rapidly assuming more than an un- usually threatening aspect. and that the disaffection Is spreading in Thessalonia. A number of Greeks have gone to the aid of the rebels, and have been received with much enthusiasm by Macedonians. The revolutionary committee at Larissa is almost openly engaged in the work of enrolling volunteers for service in the rebel ranks. The porte charges that the Greek government is conniving at the at- tempts of the insurgents to overthrow Turkish rule in Macedonia, and that non- commissioned officers and privates of the Greek army are among those who are aiding the rebels. The porte claims that these Greeks are joining the Macedo- nians in disguise.

An "Accidental" Coincidence

Washington, July N.-While the state department has not yet received the resignations of three consuls that have been cabled for recently, there is no long CT any secret that those of Edward P. Hammond at Buda Pest, Marshall P. Thatcher at Windsor, Ont, and Henry g. Smith at Santos, Brazil, will be promptly forthcoming. The coincidence in these resignations called for just at The present time is entirely accidental. They are located outside of the districts recently inspected with a view to im- proving the service, and the requests for resignations are due to complaints com ing from their respective posts. None of them has rendered unsatisfactory service since his appointment.
