ieved here that the police, by the ar
rests of Edward Bell at Glasgow on
Saturday, j. Wallace and John F.
Kearney at Rotterdam, and P. J.Tynan,
Number One" at Boulogne sur Mer,
France, have nipped q widespread dyna-
mite plot in the bud.

pie and which may result in further
arrests i'll the near future.

men arrested there We're in bed when
the detectives entered their room. Sew
eral Internal machines were found in
their possession, together with guam
tity of correspondence in cipher, key
to which having been discovered, the

They Como Within the Limit and DO Not
Call For Gold.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 15.-Bids for
building three great battleships Of
about IL 900 tons each were opened at
the navy department in the presence Of
Acting Secretary McAdoo and mum.
Der of representatives Of the ship build
ing works Of the country. The terms
offered were reasonable, and under
them the ships can be constructed and
fitted with their armor at total cost
within the limit Of the amount author
lied to be expended for this 4 urpose by
congress. There were i've bids and,
contrary to the speculation that has
been INDUCED in, no aatempt was made
in any case to bind the government to
pay for the ships in gold or its equiva-
lent. The bids were as follows:
Newport News Ship Building and
Drydock company Of Virginia, one ship
for 81, 595, 0OO; John H. Dialogue & Son
Of Camden, N. j., one ship for 81, $751;.
600; Bath Iron Works Of Maine, one
ship for $9.SS0, 600; William Cramp &
Sons of Philadelphia, one ship for
$2,650, 900 and two for 81, $50, 900 each
Union Iron Works Of San Francisco,
one ship for 42,674, $50.
Thus the three lowest bidders are in
order, the Newport News company,
Cramp g. Sons and the Union Iron
Works, the latter company being al.
lowed margin Of 4 per cent above the
lowest Eastern bid, to Offset difference
in price between the Atlantic and Pa
cific coast. The department under the
act Of congress, must award the con-
tracts for building these ships by Oct. 8
next, and the vessels themselves must
be completed within three years there.

NOTIFIED BY POPULlSTS.

Chairman Allen Forwards the Official
Letter to Mr.. Bryan.
MADISON, Neb., Sept. 15.-The Hon.
M. V. Allen, chairman of the Populist
national committee, has mailed to Will
lam J. Bryan, a letter officially notify
ing him of his nomination by that
body. 1t says in part:
At a convention of the Peoples party,
held at St. Louis from July % to 25 of the
current year. you were unanimously NOM
mated for president Of the United States,
to be voted for at the approaching general
election. 1t was known at the time that
you had been nominated by the Demo
cratic party at it's convention held at Chi
cago a few days before that time, and that
you would in all possibilities accept the
same in formal manner. Your homina-
ton by the Peoples party was not made,
therefore, with any thought that you were
q Populist, or that you
Accepted All the Doctrines
declared by the St. Louis platform. 1t
was due largely to the fact that the money
question is the overshadOwing political
issue of the age and because you have at
all times been an answering, able and
fearless advocate of the free and unlimited
coinage of silver and gold on terms Of
equality at the minis of the United States
at the ratio of 16 to /. It was thought
also that the observance Of patriotic
duty required union Of all reform forces
and the convention took the liberty, with
out soliciting or consulting you, of plac-
ing your name before the people as Its
standard bearer. The convention was, in
doing 80, guided by a deep solicitude for
the common welfare and by q desire to
bring about the best attainable results.
Has the Confidence and Esteem Of All.
In sending you this letter Of notification
of the great honor that has been SO justly
conferred on you by our party it is needless
for us to assure you that you have the
confidence and esteem of all. Your splen-
did abilities, known integrity, competency
and eminent fitness for the position justly
entitle you to high rank among the great
statesmen Of the nation. We feel that in
the event of your election, which now
seems certain, you will carry into the ex-
ecutive the principles Of monetary reform
to the end that people shall enjoy better
better industrial conditions. The Peoples
party will exact Of you no promises far
Their than those made in your public ut
terances and examplif1ed in q life devoted
to the welfare of the race.
The letter Of notification to Thomas
e. Watson has also been made public.

delivered in three different, parts OF the
city to large crowds constituted the
nights work Of Mr.. Bryan in this city.
The first was at Phoenix hill, where
the candidate addressed an audience
estimated at from $4,000 to 10000.
There were at least 5000 people in the
assemblage which listened to him at
the Haymarket and double that number
at Wizards hotel. In the first speech
Mr.. Bryan took occasion to indirectly
pay his compliments to the National
Democratic convention nominees by
admonishing his audience to either vote
the Republican ticket or to cast their
ballots in favor Of the Chicago, ticket.
The other two speeches Of the nominee
were short and have been covered to q
great extent by other addresses of Mr..
Bryan. -

arrived in Louisville at :45, quarter
of an hour ahead of schedule time. The
nominee was driven Immediately to
Wizards hotel and quarter Of an
hour later was on his way to the first
meeting Of the evening. The whole
drive was a continued ovation to the
candidate, though in one part of the
route through which the party drove
there were continued cheers for Nc.
Kinley.
At Phoenix hill the carriage was i'm
mediately surrounded by a bowling
mob, and it took the combined efforts
of 20 policemen to force a passageway
to the platform for Mr.. Bryan. His APP
pearance on the speakers stand was the
signal for uproarious applause and
cheering.
At Other Points In Kentucky. 4
The reception of the Bryan party In
Kentucky was enthusiastic in the ex-
IRENE. The people of Henderson
brought out the 10000 inhabitants OF
that city and borrowed nearly half as
many more from the surrounding
towns. The streets we're blocked from
the depot to the stand erected in the
public square, where mass Of human
ity was gathered. Mr.. Bryan made
two speeches, one from the city park,
the other from stand erected in one of
the streets Of the city. I

made 5.minute stops at Owensbolo,
Hawesville, Glover Point and Irving

A writer laments the decline Of legis-
lative bodies the world over. The de-
cline Is in mannGFs, morals and states
manship. So true is this Of our state
legislatures that he declares few mea"
sures passed by them originate among
the members themselves. They are sim
ply tho tools or servants whose vote
passes the Jaws concocted by individu-
ais on the outside, sometimes in the
public interest, but too often in thei=
own interest and to the detriment Of
tho public. Well, If this is true the
remedy is easy enough. Legislative
bodies reflect exactly the morality, the
manners and the brain power Of the
people who elect them. There are plenty
Of honest men and brainy men even in
these times. II the people wanted them
as legislators, all the people would have
to do would be to elect them. But vot-
ers apparently do not want Legislators
who are better than they themselves
are.

An Interesting Campaign.
The present campaign was the most
interesting Maine has seen in 10 years,
if ever in her history. It has presented
the unique feature Of son arrayed
against father in the case Of the Hon.
Harold Sewan Of Bath, who took the
stump to argue against the principles Of
Hon. Arthur Sewall, the Democratic
nominee for wee president. But in all
the strife and contention the contest
was remarkably free from personalities.
The most effective work was done from
the stump and never did more for
midable array Of campaign orators OK.
pound Republican doctrines in a New
England state. But the struggle was
not entirely one.sided. With internal
dissensions and lack Of funds to con-
tend with the Democrats
Made . Very Strong Fight
especially in the cities. Candidate
Frank did good work on the stump,
and while the speakers, generally from
outside the state, were not orators Of
great fame, their work was productive
Of some results. In the last two weeks
the gold Democrats took hand in the
struggle and several Of their leaders ad.
dressed large audiences in the cities but
she returns indicate that the principal
effect Of their participation in the cam.
paign was to strengthen the RepubI-
can ranks. Candidate Bateman was
the main strength Of the Populists in
their canvass, his efforts being mainly
devoted to keeping the members Of his
party who favored free silver out Of the
Democratic ranks. In none Of the con-
gressional districts was there q close
contest. All Of the Democratic candi-
dates for congress evidently believed
that it was impossible to defeat the Re-
publican nominees, ands their canvass
was not very active.
