A FAILURE.

THE complete failure of the
PopuIist leaders to get up
4 hurrah at Valley Falls
and start their campaign off with
a boom, has thrown quite a
damper over their feelings.
This meeting was heralded through
out their news papers as the grand
opening of the state campaign for
the Populist party. Big speakers
were advertised and all the faithful
were conjured to attend. With all
their efforts they succeeded IN
getting from FIVE to six hundred
people out Populists Democrats
and Republicans.
Governor Leedy's speeches was
disappointing to his friends and dis
gushing to fair minded men of all
parties. 1t was simply TRADE Of
abuse heaped upon the heads of all
men in authority, from President
Mckinley down. President Nc
Kinley was slandered and abused for
his weakness and ihcompetency.
And Secretary Alger came in for
his share of the venom. Poor Leedy
sees the hand writing on the wall
and it makes him irritable and
peevish. He is more to be pitied

The people of this great common

only without any of the necessary

time IN his speeches explaining to the

Indiana Democrats.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, June PA
majority of the fifteen hundred dele
gates to the democratic state conven-
tion have arrived in the city. The
convention will be called to order in
Tomlinson Hall at IL O'Clock tomorrow
by United States Senator Turpie. A
number of party leaders still express
the opinion that it would have been
better for the chances of success this
fall to have held the convention later,
and declare in Ominous tones that
"they are bound to refrain from criti-
cising the administration's war policy,
and by so doing give political capital
to the republican party" There is q
a good deal of talk as to the manner in
which the platform shall deal with the
money question. A large number of
the delegates do not hesitate to say
that if the war continues it will be i'm
possible to make a campaign on the
silver question, but still it is the opin-
ion that the convention should stand
firm for the independent coinage of
silver at ratio of Is to l. The gold
democrats will not take part in the
convention. A few planks will doubt
less be inserted in the platform dealing
with the methods of raising revenue
with which to carry on the war.

SIXTYLIXES LOST.
BY an Accident During the Launch
inq of a British Marship.

LONDON, June 21.-The new British
bsttleship Albion was launched from
the yards at Blackwell today. The
back wash from the launching of the
vessel surged against and broke down
a staging 80 feet long filled with spec
tstors, and 800 persons were precipitat-
ed into the Thames.
1t is feared that many lives were lost,
probably fifty. The launching was
presided over by the Duchess of York.
A large and brilliant company of
ladies and gentlemen were present, in
cluding the United States ambassa-
dor and Mrs. Hay.
LATER.-It is now believed that go
persons were killed. The staging
which collapsed was erected under the
stern of Japanese cruiser, which is in
course of construction in the Blackwell
yards. None of the guests were on the
stage, nor were any prominent per-
sons included in its unfortunate oc-
cupants.
The superstitious are already COM
menting upon the fact that the Duchess
of York failed to break the bottle of
wine as she christened the ship, which
they regard as an evil omen.
LATER.-Thirty bodies have thus far
been recovered. The loss of life may
reach hundred. No notables were in
iured,

IMPOSSIBLE
For the New Revenue Law to Go In
to Effect July 1, Owing to Lack
of Stamps.

" EllCCl July 1, OWInY ~ LoSh
of Stamps.
WASHINGTON, June Silt looks
now as though the stamps required by
the new war revenue law cannot pos
sibly be ready to 60 into the hands of
the public by July 1, the date when
the law goes into effect. The stamps
revenue Office will be besieged within
few days by orders from private par
ties which cannot be supplied.
The dies for the stamps we're sent to
the bureau of engraving and printing
several days after the passage of the
bill. If work had commenced then, it
would have been almost impossible to
send the stamps to the Pacific coast in
time to have them distributed accord
ing to the requirements of the law.
The law provides fine for any one
failing to.comply with its requ rements,
and no one will send check, tele-
graph, or express package, or do any
thing else of the kind. without stamp.
All business will suddenly come to q
standstill.
The internal revenue Office has
been besieged with thousands of in
quires with regard to the matter, and
has offered the suggestion that q joint
resolution be passed by congress, de-
ferring the date upon which the bill is
to go into effect. If this Is not done.
there will be general suspension of
business throughout the country until
the stamps can be secured.

and now numbers upwards of $50, 200
members. The membership is COM
posed of branches in all the states and
territories and until year ago one of
the strongest grand lodges existed in
the province of Ontario, Canada.
Early in 1897, however, differences
arose between the supreme body and
the Ontario gr and lodge, the latter
complaining that the assessments in
Ontario were disproportionate to the
expenditures, the death rate in the
province being shown to be much
smaller than theaversge in the United
States and that consequently the
Canadian membership was paying not
only the benefits of own members but q
share of the relief and benefit funds
spent in the United States. The diff
fculty failing of amicable adjustment,
the charter of the Ontario grand
lodge was suspended by proclamation
of the supreme master workman in
June of last year. A dispute then
arose as to the disposal of the rituals,
seals and other paraphernslis of the
lodge. both sides to the controversy
the right of possession. This
matter has not yet been adjusted and
the discussion of further steps in the
matter will be the first work of the
present session. The report of W. M.
Sackett of Pennsylvania, supreme re-
corder of the order, shows that the
total income of the organization last
year was sS, ,5S4 ,OOS, and the total ex-
penditures SS, AIS ,424, of which 81, 761,-

Convention at Denver.

DENVER, June 21.-The biennial con-
vention of the Federation of Woman's
clubs of America is now in full swing,

is eminently successful. Among the

tial candidate.
She gave very tactful interview, in
which she avoided offending any of the
various factions already in evidence.

they are masterful politicians, and
strings are being pulled for the pre-
sidency that would do credit to the
most finished political bosses.
1t looks at present as if Mrs. Lowe of
Georgia would be given the presidency
Of the federation. Mrs. Henrotin, by
the constitution, cannot be reelected.
Mrs. Platt of Denver, who could have
an almost unanimous election, has de-
clined the nomination.
The ladies are not averse to giving

frsge, according to the Colorado, Wy
oming. and Utah idea, is not to be COM
mended, and were q vote to be taken
in the federation it would be opposed.

strong minded.
The regular business session began
this afternoon. There are already
present six hundred members coming
from forty five states of the union;
there are also present fifteen hundred
women visitors.
