TODAY's ELECTION.
Populist Republican Leaders Do Not
Expect to Win in Aiabama-A
Few OF Their Schemes.

MEMPHIS. Tenn, Aug. "A special to
the Commercial Appeal from Birmingham,
Ala, says: 1t is evident tonight that the
Populist-Republican leaders do not expect
their state ticket to be elected tomorrow,
but are directing all their energies to
capture the legislature for the purpose of
seating Goodwin as governor on the al
legation that he had been defrauded and
also electing a PopuIist or Republican
senator. William Vaughn, state Repubi
can chairman, said tonight that he be-
lieved that a fair election will not be held,
that there is every indication of fraud in
the black belt counties, but he believes
the fusionists will control the legislature
on joint ballot and that if they do, Good
win VIII be the next governor. He as
serts that with a fair election Goodwin
would carry forty out of siXty-six coun-
ties. Captain Joseph F. Johnston, Demo-
cratic candidate for governor said to-
night: Il am satisfied from observation
and reports that we shall carry the state
by not less than 10000 majority and posi-
bly, larger. All the Democrats, without re-
gard to the currency question, and 1
think many Republicans who favor free
coinage will vote our ticket. Good gov
eminent and protection to property in
terests are largely involved. The legisla-
ture l think will be nearly two-thirds

WASHINGTON, Aug. 2.-Senator
Jones of Arkansas, chairman of the
national Democratic committee, re-
turned to this city today from his trip
to the west, which included st. Louis,
during the Populist convention week,
Mr.. Bryan at Lincoln and at the SEN
ator's home in Arkansas
The senator expects to remain in the
city during the present week for con-
sultation with such Democratic lead
ers as may be here from time to time,
and later will go to New York city to
attend the meeting of the national
committee on the 18th and the Bryan
and Sewall notification on the day fol-
lowing.
The understanding now is that the
two candidates will be notified at the
same time, as has been done by the
Democratic party in the past. Pend
ing the meeting of the national COM
mittee in New York, the final dispo-
sitiOn of the question of the estab lish-
ment of permanent headquarters Our
ing the coming campaign is hardly
looked for.
Senator Jones had nothing definite
to say on this subject today and ex-
pressed the opinion that the matter
would not be settled until the commit
tee meets. While Senator Jones is be-
lieved to have about decided upon the
formation OF the executive committee
which will have active charge of cam
paign work, he is not yet prepared to
make public any names. In this case,
also, he expressed the opinion that the
committee will not be fully named I'M
til the meeting in New York.
He may, however, announce an in
dividual member or two during his
stay in this city. Questions bearing
upon the attitude of Mr.. Bryan to-
wards the Populist nomination and af-
fecting the retention of Mr.. Sewall on
the national ticket are those on which
the chairman declines TO express an
opinion. The senator's attention was
called to the statement in the Atlanta
journal made by Hon. W. L. Peek,
who led the Georgia delegation at the
Populist convention, that there was an
understanding between the Populist
and Democrat leaders that if the Pop
ulists would nominate Bryan for presi-
dent and a southern Populist for vice.
president that Mr.. Sewall would retire
from the race. Regarding this, Mr.
Jones declared that so far as he knew
no arrangement of the kind was en-
tered into.
The chairman is we'll satisfied with
the general situation and says the
Democratic ticket is as good as can be.
He ridicules the idea of a reaction in
the silver sentiment and looks for it's
continued progress.
This SENTIMENT he said, began
with the repeal of the Sherman act
and has progressed ever since"

LONDON, Aug. 2.-Ioney rates
were a trife harder last week. The
stock exchange passed through week
of great anxiety and shakiness, and
it has been feared that the settlement
would reveal trouble in the American
market, while the position of affairs
in Crete Macedonia and Rhodesia has
mere: sed t'l- Une1siness- Nothing
serious happened. however. One small
failure was announced. while few
operators in he American department
were temporarily helped over their diff
fcuIties. The settlement shows that
speculative accounts had been open
and were smaller than had been sup
posed. and the week closed with bet
ter tone and improved prices all
around. Rumors of a change in the
Russian policy in the direction of in
sisting that Turkey should concede
reforms in Armenia and Crete, were
interpreted as menacing the exist
enca of Turkey as an empire and
caused a furry of apprehension on the
part of the Paris bourse. A bad sign
in the American market was that
bonds for the first time were seriously
affected. Shares all show a fall on
the week. despite Saturdays recovery.
Canadian securities were fiat, in SYM
pathy with Americans.

FACING STARVATION.
SAD CONDITION OF MINERS AND
THEIR FAMILIES.
In "a Large Number of Cases, the
Pumps at Bessemer Have Been
Taken Out and the Mines Allow
ed to Fill With Water.

BESSEMER, Mich, Aug. 2.-The Til
den mine yesterday closed down both
day and night shifts at No. 8 shaft.
This completes the shut down of the
Rockefeller mines in this city. Nos. 6,
Z, s, 8 and 10 shafts now employ just
enough men to keep the mines clear
of water. In large number of mines
the pumps have been taken out and
the mines allowed to fill with water.
Cogebic range mines are practically all
shut down at Hurley, Ironweod, Besse-
mer and Wakefield. There are less
than l 600 men at work on the range
where at one time over 5000 men were
employed. 1t is certain that a few
months of idleness will find hundreds
of families in restitution. The several
mining companies have allowed their
employees all Lneccupied lands for use

worms have destroyed the last hope
of the miners of having at least vege-
tables to keep body and soul together
the coming winter. The poor fund is
exhausted and there are a large NUM-
Der of outstanding orders. The idle
miners and their families are therefore
facing StarVa ton.

that Bell, the leader, represented himself
as the agent of the American Knights of

purposes.
In instructing the defendants that class
of people We're the easiest worked Bell,
in a letter introduced in evidence, wrote:
