tinctly less stress of feeling
here today in regard TO The in
ternational complications over
the Transvaal crisis. and the
German press. az rnle, de
voted space to it than for some
time. The tone Of some of the
papers-which means so much
in this land Of press censorship
and inspired expressions in
newspapers-is rather more
peaceable and there is less talk
of active hostilities. and more
hope is exp pressed of an anic-
able settlement of the question
at Issue. Expressions ofirrita
ton at the British government
and raucor against the English
people are still more or less
banter.
The Tageblatte, however, to-
day replies to the assertions
made yesterday in the W est
minister Gazette that Germany's
attitude on thu Armenian ques
ton had alienated Great Bri
tain and had driven it to seal
a rapprochement with France
The Westminster Gazette add
ed that there was absolutely no
intention on the part of Great
Britain to enter the Franco Rus
sian alliance, any more than
the Dreibnnd, but it was hoped
had become better friends with
both France and Russia. TO
which the Tageblatte replies:

very satisfactorily. Mr.. Babcock says the
congressional campaign committee is in

Chairman Babcock had a call to-day from
Chicago to New York and then TO WASH

Republicans tn Best.
WASHINGTON. Aug. .nator Bacon.
of Georgia. who has Just l. rned from the
Pacific coast, was at Democratic head
quarters to-day. In an interview he said
that as the sentiment now exists in the
country Bryan would be elected but that
Republicans told him the sentiment of the
people would change before election. The
Senator said that he failed TO see that the
sentiment of the country through which he
passed had changed. but was inclined TO
think that the money which the Repub-
licans were putting into the campaign will
have its effect. He did not mean by this.
he added, that voters would be bought but
that the Republicans will get their htera-
ture more largely circulated will have
more speakers and will have more and
better informed men at many places who
will be able to defeat the Democrats in
argument. He said he noticed at the sta
tions and other places where there were
groups OF men talking, arguing the silver
question. in every instance that, as n gem
eral thing. the Republican was better in
formed and could array his argument With
more effect and when he got the best OF
his Democratic antagonist he was likely 10
carry the crowd with him. This he attrib-
uted to a large circulation of literature
and special work of the Republicans. who
were posting men everywhere 10 be able
TO argue the question. Senator Bacon
thought this was the only feature wherein
the Republicans were succeeding and said
he had no doubt that all this would be
counteracted by the Democrats.

citation of Democratic Clubs. to-day re-
ceived applca tions of membership In the
national association from thirty four new
clubs. Virginia heading the list. Each ap-
plication. without exception Is accompanied
with the statement that the membership
includes men who have heretofore been
identified with the Republican party. Some
of these letters also note slight disafection
from Dmocratic ranks but say it is very
much less than the accessions.
There has been notable increase in the
demand on Democratic headquarters for
literature. particularly for Mr.. Bryan's
New York and Chicago speeches. New
Jersey, Mr.. Gardner says, is actively en-
gagged in the preliminary steps OF club or
ganzation. the showing in Hunterdon and
Hudson counties being especially strong.
