She gave the lead, taking up the pre-
scribed topics in quiet, level tone, the
least calculated to arouse interest and
attention. Her ears, all the time,
were fairly alert, listening for the
slightest sound from the other end OF
the carriage. The chief burden of the
conversation rested on her, for Mollie's
part in 1t, even with the most heroic ef-
forts, was very weak and disjointed.
Sometimes IL broke off altogether, when

PowDERLY AS AN ISSUE.

Mr. Terence V. Powderly seems about
to become a national issue. The pro-
test of organized labor against his ap-
pofntment by the president, to the po-
sition of commissioner Of immigration,
is being made in so strong terms, that
it is said that no attempt at confirma-
ton by the senate will be made until
December because of the possible effect
on Mr.. Hanna's political fortunes in
Ohio.
When Mr.. Powderly forsook his old
political associates had entered the
field in the interest Of his opponents
the Republicans, it was alleged that he
did so for a money consideration, the
sum named being IS, 900. AS the money
said to have been paid for Mr.. Powder
ly's services in the campaign was sup
posed to come from the treasury of the
eRpublican national committee no leg
itimate objection could be made to the
transaction and none was offered. But
now that he is given further reward,
as it is alleged, in a position the salary
of which is paid by the taxpayers, GER
tain elements which are opposed to him
and his methods feel that the time has
come to object.
In view of the fact that Mr.. Powder
1y took a prominent part in the organi-
cation of the Peoples Party, and in
fact never affiliated with the party of
the administration until last year, his
opponents feel justified in the belief
that his appointment has been made
solely as a reward for service to that
party.
Organized labor viewed the appoint
ment of Mr.. Carnegies man Friday to
the Swiss mission without any marked
signs of disapproval, perhaps because
1t was said that he needed rest and was
anxious to spend a few years abroad in
manner entailing as little expense as
might be, but when Powderly was
named for commissioner of immigra-
ton, his former associates drew the
line.
1t will be remembered of Mr. C1eve-
land that he appointed a certain Mr..
Van Allen to an honorable and lucra-
tive position as a reward for a cam
paign contribution of $50, 900. The ap-
pointment for some reason proved very
unpopular regardless of the fact that
Van Aliens Democracy was unques-
toned. The president was saved the
annoyance of being forced to withdraw
the name of Van Allen or seeing his
confirmation defeated by that gentle
mans very considerably declining the
place.
As it is improbable that Mr.. Powder
ly belongs to the declining class there
may be much trouble in store for some
body before the end is reached.
1t has been estimated that conf1rma-
ton at this time would cost the Hanna
ticket 10000 votes in Ohio in October

PIXIES PEAK TUNNEL.
Project for Boring Under the Ell Paso
County Gold Fields Falls Through.

Colorado Springs, Col. July 22.-Giles
Otis Pearce, who claims to be the origi-
nator of the gigantic 81, 900 scheme for
boring under Ell Paso county gold fields,
brought suit this morning in the district
court against George H. Proctor, the lead
ing financial spirit in the enterprise, and
against the Pixies Peak Tunnel and Min
ing Railway company.
Giles claims that, according to a con-
tract with Proctor, whom he had taken
into his confidence and to whom he re-
vealed the big scheme, he (Giles) was to
turn over all the maps, surveys, work.
ings, franchises, etc, for $500 in cash,
$3.50, 900 worth of the stock of the company
which was to be formed and for a sal
aried position with the corporation. He
claims he has never received a single
share of stock and that $25 covers all he
ever got from the corporation. He asks
the court to investigate and see if Proc
tor has turned over the plans, etc, to the
company. He also asks for g. 500 in cash,
Sc, $50 salary and $3.50. 900 in stock of the
corporation.

SMALLPOX SCOURGE.
Twenty-Five Cases Appear in Birm-
inghan. Alabama

Birmingham, Ala, July 22.-Dr. w. H.
Sanders of Mobile, state health officer,
and the local health authorities today
pronounced four cases of suspicious sick
ness here as smallpox. There are some
twenty odd other cases of an eruptive
disease, thought to be a mild form of
smallpox not yet fully developed.
At a special meeting of the city council
the recommendations of the board of
health, that a pest station be established
on Red mountain, where the patients be
isolated and kept under guard, and that
vaccination and disinfectants be enforced,
were concurred in and put into effect by
Acting Mayor Pearce this afternoon. This
is the third time smallpox has appeared
here within three months past, but when
the first case appeared nearly the entire
population was vaccinated, SO that little
fear of a general epidemic is felt. The
disease was brought here from towns in
the state where it has existed.

BUT WILL SHE?
English View of What Great Britain
"Had Ought" to Do.

London, July 22.-The Daily Mail has re-
ceived anonymous letter with refer
ence to the probability of a war between
England and the United States in which
the writer says: England had ought to
take the opportunity of rectifying the
frontier by annexing Maine, Vermont,
New Hampshire and a part of New York
state, thus giving Canada a seaport
Portland-to which navigation is open all
the year. She ought also to annex
Alaska and the Sandwich islands,"
The writer also declares that the talk
of the United States helping England in
the event of a war with the combination
of European powers is all twaddle and
says it is far more likely that the Ameri-
cans would fight against England.

POOR BANQUET FOOD.
Silver Republicans Who Feted Bryan
File Protest.

Los Angeles, July 22.-Many persons
who paid So to participate in the banquet
given to w. ]. Bryan by the silver Re
publicans have since been vigorously OBJ
jecting to the discrepancy that existed
between the food that served and
that which was promised on the menu.
Every one who was there knows that the
caterer fell down and unequal to the
task of feeding the multitude, inasmuch
as the days of miracles are past.
The Silver Republican club had con-
tracted to pay the caterer $3.50 a plate,
but he did not serve more than one
half the viands called for on the menu the
committee proposes to cut down his bill
at least one-third. The caterer objects to
this and declares he will sue for the en-
tire amount if the committee persists in
the intention of cutting him down. There
is a prospect of the story being told in
court.
