Certain Colorado Republicans Will AsE
the Senator to Resign.
DENVER, CoLo., Aug. "A secret meet
ing of Republicans OF Denver was
held this morning in the Office of we'll
known attorney, and it was resolved to
ask Senator Wolcott to resign as Senator
from Colorado. Representatives of the
Democratic, Populist and Silver parties
were present and voted with the Repub-
lioans to demand Mr.. Wolcott's resigna-
ton.
The greatest secrecy was maintained, for
it was the desire of those present to keep
matters quiet until mass-meeting could
be held and the unanimous support of the
people obtained for the request. It is not
believed, however, that any notice of such
efforts will be taken by the junior Senator.
The course urged by the conservative
people is to leave the Republican organ
ization severely alone and try to unite all
the silver forces upon an opposition ticket.
The language heard on the streets and in
almost every newspaper of the State is
extremely bitter toward Senator Wolcott.

CLOSE OF A HARD CAMPAIGN
One of the MIST Bitter Contests Ever
Waged in the Southern Com.
monwealth.

BIRMINGHAM, ALA, Aug. 2.-The
Alabama State campaign came to bril-
liant close last night. Almost every ham
let in the State was the scene of public
speaking, and in the larger places crowds
assem- bled on almost every corner to listen
to political arguments. Joseph F. john
ston, the Democratic candidate for Gov
ernor, wound up the campaign in Winston
County, while Congressman A. T. Good
wyn, the Populist-Republican candidate.
closed in Limestone.
The outlook is rather confused at this
time. Captain Johnston. before leaving
last night for Winston County, stated
that he expected his majority to run up to
about $4,000 Nathaniel Miller, secretary
of the State Democratic campaign COM
mittee, places the figure at 10000 and
says he would not be surprised If it went
to 60, 900. He claims a majority OF the
Legislature, making 20 out of 100.
John B. Knox, chairman of the State
campaign committee, expresses absolute
confidence in victory for the Democratic
ticket.
J. A. Bingham, acting chairman OF the
Populist State campaign committee, stated
last night that he was confident from re-
ports received already that GOODWIN and
his ticket would be elected by about 25, 900.
He expects his party to carry all of the
white counties in the State, with the e1-
ception of three, and says it will also Sc
cure majority of the Legislature.
William Vaughan, chairman of the Re-
publican State executive committee, stated
that he does not see how Captain Johnston
and his ticket can win.
Two years ago Kolb, the Populist-Re-
publican candidate, carried almost all the
white counties in the State and Goodwin
expects to do the same, and with faiI
election will divide the black-belt vote.
The registration is the largest ever had
in the State, and the indications are that
an unprecedented vote will be polled.
Jefferson County, the largest in the State
is claimed by the Democrats by 1000 and
by the Populists by 1000. The campaign
was one of the hardest fought in the State
for wears.

Chancellor Won Hohenlohe recently or
dered that an inquiry be held to ascertain
whether a special measure was needed
against the alleged increasing importation
of American horse flesh into Germany by
way of Belgium and Holland. The re-
port, which mas been submitted, concludes
with the statement that no further prohi-
bitions are required.
The official Reichsanzeiger publishes a
decree forbidding the importation of fresh
pork into Germany through Holland.
The Government has again ordered that
reports be submitted to il on the impor-
tation of petroleum, evidently with the
idea OF introducing a differential tariff.
The matter is revived with a view to
breaking the monopoly of the Standard
Oil Company.
1he customs changes that will go into
force in Septem Der will considerably in
crease the tariffs on all mineral oils
through an altered system of calculating
the net weight. American exporters
are largely concerned in this matter.
The firm of john & Co. of Hamburg an
nounce the pooling of their petroleum
business with that of Phillip Pots of Mann
helm and the Passows of Bremen. These
firms will come to an agreement with the
German-American Company regarding
the prices of oil. Part of the petroleum
required by the pool will be bought from
the Standard Oil Company.

Berlin and Vienna bourses. Austrian

SM0THERE] IN THE HOLD
How Six Emigrants Perished
While Hiding From Rus.
sian Inspectors.
Parents of the Victims Sue the Owner
of Steamship Herman for
Damages.

NEW YORK, N. Y, Aug. 2.-David Mis-
lod and Joseph Lerner, the fathers of two
OF party of six emigrants who are said
to have been suffocated in the hold of the
German steamship Herman, while the lat
ter was lying in the Russian port of Libau
ON January last. have brought suit for
damages against the owner of the vessel,
HI. Schuldt, resident of Flemsburg, Ger
many.
The facts became known to-day through
a letter of the lawyers retained bv the un-
fortunate young mems fathers. which has
been forwarded to the United States Con-
sui at Flemsburg. apprising him of the
fact that suit has been brought against
the owner of the vessel.
1t is stated that the six men who per-
ished were among party of fifteen young
emigrants who had engaged passage by
the Herman from Libau for Hull, Eng
land, and that they met their deaths from
suffoeation in one of the air-tight COM
partments of the steamer, in which the
fifteen emigrants had been directed to cou-
ceal themselves by the officers of the ves-
sci to evade the vigilance of Russian in
spectors.
It is not stated why the young men
found it necessary to hide from the Rus
sian officials, but according to the state
ments made in the letter to the Consul it
appears that the steamship officials had
informed the emigrants that the Russian
officials would not take more than twenty
minutes to inspect the ship. whereas four
hours elapsed before the vessel sailed.
When sailor of the vessel, the letter re-
cites, went to release the men they were
all unconscious.
The men were hoisted out of the hold.
and after hours of hard work the lives of
nine were saved. The six others never
regained consciousness and died.
Their bodies, according to the letter,
were subsequently, consigned to the sea.
The suit is based on the affidavits made
by two of the survivors. These survivors,
in their affidavits, say that the matter was
not made public on their arrival at Hull
because of the threat made by the captain
of the steamer that if any of the survivors
told about the fate of their unfortunate fell
low passengers, they would be sent back to
Russia. Accordingly, they did not men,
tion the matter. The emigrants making
the affidavits only recently arrived here.
