EX-CONGRESSMAN TOwNE, of Min
nesota. who is credited with being the
selection of the silver mine-owners for
their presidential candidate in 1900,
has turned his back upon most of the
anarchistic features of the CHICAGO
platform and, it is said, is urging that
free silver be made the sole issue in
the campaigns Of this fall This pro-
position is not pleasing Mr.. Bryan and
his followers, who see in it prospect
of general shifting not only of the
issues put forward in the last campaign
but also of presidential candidates.

Chinese Imperial navy, who fought the
flagship Chen Yuen against the COM
bined attack of the entire japanese
fleet in the memorable battle of the
Yalu river on the afternoon of Septem-
Der II, 1894, has been taken to the post
graduate hospital in this city, violent
mailman. The complete wrecking of
this brilliant naval officer and tactican
is the dire result of terrific strain to
which he was subjected during the
battle of the Yalu. Both his ear drums
were ruptured, his eyes permanently
affected and his head and body filled
with splinters of woodwork and steel.
1t is only by operation that the true
cause of the officers insanity can be de-
termined.
