A MEXICAN METEOR.
Strikes Mountain and Knocks Down
 Great Cliffs.

CITY OF MEXICO, July 27.-The government will not accept Minister Romero's resignation, holding him in too high esteem as a successful diplo- mat to allow him to retire at the pres ent and regarding him as possessing the good will of the American govern ment and people. Romero will start for Washington at once.
 A remarkable phenomenon at the mine of Santos Reyes, in the state of Chihuahua, has occurred. At 8 o'clock yesterday tremendous explo- sion was heard and an enormous mass of burning matter was seen to fall from the heavens, striking the side of the mountain and bringing with it in its course entire cliffs, and finally plunged 700 feet into the ground, mak- ing hole from which boiling water still issues.
 One of the most singular phenomena observed was the heavy rain falling from the sky immediately after the descent of the meteor. The meteor de. stroyed the house of a miner, killing his two children.

A PETRIFIED LIE.
A Story Apparently New to Ari-
 ZonanS.

Among other things Arizona has a few cheerful liars who delight in re- lating to unsophisticated customers the wonders of the territory, but in some instances their vivid imagina- tions run riot and overstep the bounds of reason and realism. The following story which appeared in Dakota pa per is a fair sample of these Ryder Haggard tales:
 Everyone has heard of the petrified forest of Arizona" said T. A. Allen of Tombstone, "but few people are aware that there are springs in the territory where almost any object can be petri- fled! Frogs, snakes, lizards and other reptiles have ventured into some of these springs and turned to stone Leaves, twigs, and branches of trees have undergone the same process. But the most remarkable instance is thai of a cattleman, who has the same name as myself although no relation. He was in the habit of standing in one oi these springs and bathing. He die this for some time, when he began tt feel peculiar pains in his feet ani ankles and he stopped, but the painl continued, followed by a numbnes' that never left him. He lost all con trol of the muscles of that part of hi body, and it was but few weeks un til he realized that his feet had becom petrified, and for the past year he ha been unable to walk. The rest of hi body'was somewhat affected, but no so much so, as the water had not sub merged him."

ANNOUNCES THE ISSUE Hanna Says to Talk
 Money. Financial Pamphlets Filling
 the Mails. Congressional Committee Sending Out Tons of Financial Literature.

WASHINGTON, July 27.-The an nouncement is made that as a result of the conference last week between Mark Hanna, Candidate Mckinley and Chairman Babcock of the Republican congressional campaign committee. the scope of the work of the committee is to be widened greatly the coming campaign.
 One connected with the committe said that it would perform more work and in different fields than has ever devolved upon a congressional commit tee. MT. Babcock's organization will take charge of the literary feature of the campaign entirely. The commit tee, in addition to supplying the vari- | ous congressional district committees throughout the country with literature, | speeches and documents, also will fur n1sh the state central committees in every state in the Union with cam- paign material
 In the last campaign the congres- s1onal committee confined its labors to about 100 congressional districts. In this campaign it will take in every place in the United States where there is chance for a contest The condi- tions are very different, too, from those that existed two years ago. Then the issue was cut and dried by the Minneapolis convention of two years previous, and the committee was
 ready for work many months in ad-
 vance of the relative period this year. The number of campaign documents
 uhat Will be sent out between now and
 next November by the congressional
 committee will reach several millions.
 From one state alone an order has been
 received for 100000 documents, and there are a number of orders for 4OO,-
 0Oo and 5OO,O00. The majority of these documents will bear upon the financial , question:
 Mcklnley's managers appear to have become convinced that the silver oues-
 t1on will be the one issue of the cam , pa1gn. The candidate himself may continue to indulge in platitudes about : the tariff, but Hanna will see that the money question is kept to the front,
 Of late Mckinley has shown dispo-
 sition to accept the situation, but it re-
 mains for him to come squarely out
 into the open. MT. Babcock ecknowI-
 edges that the interest of the people
 in the financial question since the rais- : ing Of the issue between sound money
 and free silver by the two parties is
 marvellous to contemplate His mai! y ds deluged every day with applications y from party workers and local political l committees all over the country for - educational matter upon this subject

llpit in Major McKinley's church sunday. Dr. Hill has the reputation in his own city of being a hot politi- clan. He is said to have challenged MT. Bryan to a debate on the currency question soon after the nomination of the latter. At any rate Dr. Hill came here with red hot political sermon prepared. His discourse after the text had been read was to open about this way:
 ''It is currently believed that min listers of the gospel make no reference to politics in their sermons But when the honor and integrity of our government are at stake, when the reputation of our just obligations is threatened, believe it is time for the ministers to take a hand" The reverend doctor intended then to go on and preach a strong gold sermon, winding up with plea for the election of Mckinley and the Republi- can ticket But the sermon was not preached.
 Just why Dr. Hill abandoned his intention is not known. He had sev- eral conversations with Major Nc Kinley yesterday and it is generally believed that the major asked him mol i to preach the sermon.

THEOSOPHY.
His Thumb Hurt Him, Though It Was
 Buried. .

MANLY, N. C., July 27.-Thad Peasants case is attracting much at tention by reason of the fact that after his left hand was amputated after be- ing injured in the seaboard railway wreck, he constantly complained that his thumb gave him pain. He said the feeling was that his hand was drawn and that his thumb was in an uncom- fortable position. His family and friends deemed this only a notion, but finally Mrs. Peasants had the member dug up and there was the hand just as her husband described. The thumb was held tight by the other fingers. She had the fingers strengthened and the thumb released. As soon as she returned Peasants said that his arm had quit paining him and that the tendons in his own arm felt free again. He has had no pain since

 Work. The Itinerary of the Heavy

Ex-Presjdent Harrtson's Plans-The Tour of the Big Four-TarIff
 and Sound Money.

CHICAGO, July 27.-Now that One literary bureau is started, the Repub- lican executive committee is turning its attention to the department having charge of the campaign orators. There will be no trouble in securing talent in this regard, for already letters have been pouring into the headquarters from prominent men all over the country, offering their services. Col. William H. Hahn, ex-National com mitteeman for Ohio, is to have charge of the speakers bureau in Chicago, and General Powell Clayton will look after the assignment of speakers in the east
 Ex-President Harrison will open the campaign in Indiana about Sep tember 15 and will then go into Ken lucky, where there is United States senator to be elected, as well as presi- dential electors. Seaker Reed is an other of the stars who will start on tour soon after the September elections in Maine, while there will be a large number of Republicans speaking to the people from the stump before the leaves begin to fall. One of the speak CTS in the west will be ex1Senator John J. Ingalls, of Kansas.
 The stumping campaign starts dur ing the first week in August, and the Big Four will make their debut at Bryan's own door, for they will open the campaign at Lincoln and Omaha. The Big Four" are Senator Julius Caesar Burrows, ex-Congressman Ben Butterworth of Ohio, and Billy Mason of Illinois, and Hon. Roswell c. Horr It is strong combination embracing wit, reason, oratory and magnetism.
 Sound money and protection will be the keystone on which they will lay the foundation for future votes. After the first rallies in the central part oi Nebraska they will separate and cover the whole state, and then go into Min nesota and after that work as far west as California, coming down the Pa cifc coast by way of Washington and Oregon.
 It is strange how the various west ern states are affected, for the execu tive committee already has a varied as sortment of requests from the far west ern states, but as the Big Four ca1 talk as we'll on the tariff as it can or sound money, the people will no doub get what they want. For instance California wants tariff speeches, ac cording to the information from Pres ident Mckinley of the California Re publican state league, while in Illinoi they want nothing but the currenc, question. From Kansas, Charle Sheldon of Burlingame, writes tha it will be the hardest campaign eve fought in that state Nothing" h says, "but vigorous educational cam paign and unceasing toll will say Kansas this year.
 AS to Major McKinley's going O. the stump, it is not the intention a present for him to leave Canton. H is still busy on his letter of accept ance, and this will not be ready t give to the public until late in Angus and it will then be accepted as tn real starting of the campaign in Chi, Indiana and the east. From the tim the letter of acceptance is made publ things will hum all around the Ohi valley.

GROSVENOR FOR SILVER.
He Supported It Most Heartily in 1877
 in Ohio Legislature.

CINCINNATI, July 27.-The En- quirer in looking up the records of prominent Republicans on silver, has discovered that General Charles H. Grosvenor ,one of McKinley's man agers, when speaker of the Ohio house of representatives in 1877, left the speakers chair to support the follow ing resolution:
 Resolved, By the general assembly of the state of Ohio that common honesty to the taxpayer, the letter and spirit of the contract under which the great body of it's indebtedness was as- sumed by the United States, and true financial wisdom, each and all demand the restoration of the silver dollar to it's former rank as lawful money.

GOLD WILL TALK,
How and Burrows to Stump Mime
 SOta and Nebraska.

CHICAGO, July 27.-Chairman Hsn- na has given the word to the nationaa committee to open fire on the enemy and keep it up until the polls close in November.
 The captain general of the RepubIi- can army arrived from Cleveland yes- terday and left again in the evening. All day long he was in conference, with the leaders of the party in Illinois, Iowa, Minnesota. Indiana and Nebrae- ka. This council of war really opened the campaign
 Rooms for the headquarters were en- gagged in the Auditorium bullding. They will be open for work just as soon as the furniture men can put in the tables and chairs.
 The cam paign on the stump will be opened Angus: 6. Minnesota and Ne | braska will be the first states to receive attention. Roswell G. Horr and Sena- | tor Julius Caesar Burrows of Michigan will be among the first to go in the field.
 | The determination to open the cam paign thus early is frankly admitted to be recognition of the fact that the bat. tie against free silver in the middle, western and northwestern states cannot be won without hard fighting and lots of it. Dr. Jamieson, national commit teeman from Illinois, said last week that this state was not in the Republi- can column as yet and could not be put there only after a struggle. He was criticised by some of his Republican as-
 sociates as too hasty. Today, after the
 all.day conference, he said he con.
 sidered that his view had been in
 dorsed.

NOTED JOURNALIST DEAD More Than Half Century
 in Harness.
of the Consolidated
 Associated Press.
Attained Prominence as an Editor, Reformer. BtoRrapher and Historian.

CHICAGO, July 27.-Wm. Henry Smith, late general manager of the As sociated Press, died at Lake Forest, H., this morning.
 Wm. H. Smith was born in Colum- bia county, N. Y., December l, 1853. His parents emjgrated ito Ohio three years later, and he was given the best educational advantages that the state afforded at that time. He was tutor in college, then at the age of 22 became editor of a paper in Cincinnati. He was at the same time an editorial writer on the Literary Review.
 At the opening of the civil war he was on the staff of the Cincinnati Ga zette, and took an active part in rais- ing troops, forwarding sanitary sup plies and in political work for strengthening the government.
 To him more than to any other, John Brough was indebted for political prominence, and when the latter was elected governor in 1863 he was made Brough's private secretary. The next year he was elected secretary of state and was reelected in 1866.
 He established the Evening Chron' icle in Cincinnati, but about this time his health was poor and he was forced to withdraw from active work. In 1870 he became manager of thu Western Associated Press with head quarters at Chicago. In January, 1883 he effected the union of the New Yorl and Western Associated Press, ant became general manager of the con solidated association.
 Among his many published work may be more particularly mentioned "The St. Claire Papers," and ''Po litical History of the United States.
 By his Investigations in the Britisl museum he brought to light many un published letters. of Washington t Col. Henry Bouquet, and showed tha those published by Jared Sparks wer not given correctly.
 His death has caused a feeling c profound regret and sorrow in thi city, especially in the newspaper o1 fees.

England Must Join the Double Stand.

LONDON, July 27.-The Globe this afternoon publishes a long article headed American Communism It concludes as follows: There is clear issue between the gold standard allied to extreme protection and free coinage coupled with confscatory socialism. Whether Mckinley or Bryan be elected British interests are bound to suffer. While the victory of Mckinley is cer- tain to harass our trade with the United States, that of Bryan could not fail to produce a financial convulsion which might shake the old world to it's very foundations.

HAS RESIGNED.
Senator Pettigrew an Example fo
 Democratic Committeeman.

WASHINTON, July 27. = Senator Pettigrew of South Dakota, who fol- lowed Senator Teller in his bolt from the Republican National convention at St. Louis, has resigned as a member of the Republican congressional commit tee. The vacancy has not yet been filled. There are number of avowed advocates of the gold standard on the Democratic congressional committee standing practically as much in oppo- sition to the platform and ticket as Senator Pettigrew did, but no resigna- tions have been reported up to this date from the Democratic committee.
