First Assistant Postmaster General
Heath, who has just returned from his
home in Indiana tells the following to
illustrate the conditions he found
there: when l was in Indiana in Feb.
ruary met farmer who was in great
distress. He was an old friend, with
200 acres of as good land as can be
found anywhere. 1t was mortgaged
for several thousand dollars, and he
offered to sell his equity at an almost
nominal figure. Last week saw the
farmer again and asked him if he still
wanted to sell. He told me the farm
was not for sale; that he made enough
out of it to settle his interest account,
pay of part of his debt, and to build
a new house, and had renewed his
mortgage at per cent lower interest
than he had been paying" s.

Last weeks Cabinet meeting was
sort of happy family affair. All had
something TO say from personal knowl-
edge of the great wave of prosperity
that is sweeping over the country
helping the farmers to pay Oft mort
cages and to purchase luxuries for
themselves aud families, which they
were compelled to do without during
the dark years of democratic control
and giving work, where there has been
no work, to both skilled and unskilled
labor The people who have suffered
know where to place the credit for
their improved condition, and they
will be certain not to make any more
disastrous experiments by voting the
republican party out of power Re-
publican times will be synonymous
with good times for long time to
come in this country.

THE POLITICIAN.

PRESIDENT Mckinley is back in the
White House, and with the possible
exception of short trip to Ohio the
latter part of this month he will prooa-
bly, not leave Washington again until
the long session of Congress, which
meets in December, adjourns. The
President is enthusiastic, not only over
the personal reception given him in
but over the evidences
of prosperity he saw everywhere he
went He found the same state of az
fairs in New England that he found
in the Middle West-everybody rejoic-
ing over present prosperity and the
prospect of greater prosperity to come.
If eyer any President had cause to re-
ioice over the condition of the country,
surely President Mckinley is the man,
and what adds to his pleasure is the
knowledge that he can consistently
say, II told you so.'

THE FIRST VICTORY.

Skilled Tin Plate Workers Are Jubilant
 Over the Decisive Gain.
 s Pittsburg, Pa, July 3.-Skiled tin plate workers identified with the Amalgamated Association of Iron and Steel Workers, scored a decisive victory today. They secured an advance in wages and pro tective clause that tin plate mills will not manufacture sheet iron. The workers are jubil II and look upon the future with hope, as it is claimed the signing of the remaining scales of the association is but question of time. The conference be- tween the scale committee and a com mittee of manufacturers adjourned this morning, after having been in session two days The workers wanted an advance of 15 per cent. which the manufacturers were not inclined to give.
 A rs sadjustme mt was made which would give the workers an average advance of about S% per cent. After considerable discussion the workers agreed to the proposition. provided the manufacturers signing this scale would agree to give them a protective clause guaranteeing that the tin plate mills would not manu- fracture sheet iron in the event of the market for tin becoming depressed. The proposition was agreed to and both sides adjourned apparently well satisfied. The settlement means much to the workers.

The men say they are determined to remain out until the prices of mining are raised. Min CTS have the sympathy of business men, many of whom are in bad circumstances brought on by the continued reductions that have been forced upon the miners during the past few years.

Curious Condition of the German .5 Cabinet Crisis. THE GLORIOUS FOURTH Will Be Celebrated by Americans In Berlin
 Many Soldiers Killed by the
 Intense Heat

Berlin, July 3-The cabinet crisis which has been dragging for weeks has reached another stage, hardly less curious than the previous one. It is believed in po- litical circles that Baron Von Bulow, if he shows the necessary capacity and ability to secure the support of a ma jority of the rechstag, will be Prince Hohenlohe's successor, the post of for egn secretary in that case going to Count Won Kiderlen-Wachter, the emperor's favorite and the present German minister at Copenhagen.
 The socialist Vossischer Zeitung com pares the conditions here with those pre- vailing in Turkey and Russia, saying that 'In Turkey, a pasha is today finance minister, tomorrow general and the day after, minister for foreign affairs. The same Is with us today"
 The visit of Prince Hohenlohe and Baron Bulow simultaneously to Prince Bismarck is taken as indication of an- other. reconciliation and the whole of the Bismarck press is writing on the subject in a tone of satisfaction. Prince Bis marck's health is good and he has de- clined to follow the advice of his physi-

Chicago July 3.-The highest temporal ture recorded in the annals of the weather bureau for the month of July in ten years, was reached today, when, for two hours, the thermometer registered 95 degree S.
 But the mercury did not stop there. It went up and down until finally it made one supreme jump in an hours time from S9 degrees to 97 degrees. On the busi- ness streets men reeled and slckened as in plague-stricken city and in the ten- ement districts women ard children hud- dled, seeking in vain relief from the heat that permeated and prevailed every where.

BOURkE COCHRAN.
The Brilliant Orator Describes His Visit to the Vatican-He Attended
 Pontifical Mass.

New York, July 3.-The World tomor- row will print an interview with Bourke Cochran, describing his visit to the vat ican. MT. Cochran says of the pope:
 His frame, spare and almost ema- ciated gives you the feeling that every particle of flesh which might have main tained base or cordid thought has been discarded in fasting and prayer. His manner never loses the majesty of the pontiff, but is marked by extreme gentle ness, and his voice vibrant and sonorous, is sweet and well modulated.
 His questions showed a close famil- iarity with our government and with the social and economic questions which must be solved under democratic legis- lation.
 "The history of the Catholic church, said the pontiff, lies in Europe. It's fu- ture lies in your great nation. You can therfore understand the great interest that take in American people.
 He then spoke of the leading American bishops and had words of praise and commendation for them all.
 T ventured to say that there was an intimate and indissoluble connection be- tween the church and the state in Ameri- ca, but, that instead of the state support ing the church the church supported the state by promoting obedie e to law and the church's teaching, and the remark appeared to please him very much, and he inquired with great particularly into the operations of the various charitable and religious institutions aintained by the diocese of New York. At the clcse of the interview he bade me say to my countrymen wherever I might meet them, that had seen the pope and had found him full of sympathy and affection for the American people. ,4f.
 The next day he sent me a large silver medal as a token of friendship and in- terest by the Maestro -di Camera, who in- timated that the holy father would be pleased if I attended the mass which he intended to say the following Monday for the American sailors. I did so. I do not believe any man can have a proper idea of the solemnity of the mass who has not seen it. celebrated by Pope Leo At the conclusion of the mass. our sailors gathered in the outer rooms and gave three 1usty cheers for the pope. Rising to his feet he smiled and waved his hand saying Bravo, good American ns,n and then adva ncing to where stood, he irl- quired when I intended to le>ve Rome n answered o.f the follawtag Friday Again hss hIessvd ne and wished me safe aud prosperorss tofrney back to the country which held so large a place in his heart ''

STARTLING INFORMATION Secured by Detectives in Wood side as to the Murder. STOUT CHAIN OF EVIDENCE
  And 1t Is Damaging to Mrs. Mack and Thorn Guldensuppe Was Killed in
 a House.

New York, July S.-Several detectives were sent over to Woodside today to in vestigate rumor that a man and woman answering the description of Mrs. Mack and Thorn had been there on sev- eral occasions and that last Saturday, the day of the finding of the first section of the body, buggy with a man and a woman in it, and containing a bundle was seen to leave there. Mrs. Nack's story about sending the valise to Thorn was confirmed by the statement of John Hunche and Joseph Reilly. who carried the valise to him. When the detectives returned from Woodside tonight they brought back with them information of a most startling character, which leads to the almost positive assurance that the murder was committed in woodside or near it, at Newtown, and that Thorn is still hiding in this city.
 It was learned this morning that prior to the murder of Guldensuppe, Mrs. Mack and Thorn were negotia ting with a real ing of a house just at the other side of Woodside, l.. l., in Newtowns. Several visits were paid to this house by the pair and it is now believed that Thorn was secreted in the place, awaiting the arrival of Mrs. Mack and Guldensuppe. This was after the time the woman had made an appointment over the telephone for a trip to Woodside. After Guldensuppe reached the house he was murdered and h S body was cut up and distributed about the various places where they were found The buggy with the man, the woman and the bundles were seen leaving Newtown on Saturday. June 26, the day the first portion of the body was found floating in the East river This piece of the body is supposed to have been thrown from the ferry boat into the wa ter.
 Moreover the detectives brought back with them letter of the greatest import ance. It was addressed to MT. Bualo and mailed on July 2 It reads as follows:
 5. New York, July ?, 1897. "To Mir Bualo.
 "On account of sickness in my family. I will not move into the house before an- other week or ten days
 Respectfully,
 "F. BRAUN"
 The handwriting in this letter is the same as that on the telegram which Mrs. Mack claims she received from Gulden- suppe, telling her to go to the baths and see the superintendent. O'Brien b.lieves That they were both written by Thorn. It also settles the fact that Thorn has not yet left the city, and det; ctives are hunting tonight in all directions in the effor. to capture him. There was an other theory advanced, however, which would bear out cthe woman's story that Guldensupp= is still alive, as it is nor ally certain that the person who sent the telegram and the person who wrote the le ter to Bualo are the same, and if it was not Thorn, then it must have been Guldensuppe himself who is hiding for purposes best knlown to himself

 St. Louis, Mo-, July 3.-St. Louis coal operators, most of whom own mines in Illinois, are preparing for the threatened strike. and so are consumers of this city. Orders enough have been received during the past five or six days to put in opera ton all the mines in southern and central Illinois. The St. Louis coal market was never in more demoralized condition.
 1t is doubtful if the miners of the Belle vile district will quit work in a body. They are poorly organized, and there is lack of concert among them. Mass meetings are being held at various points to determine on plan of action
