LOOKED LIKE FOUL PLAY.
Body of an Unknown Man Found
Near Chestertown, Md.

Chestertown, Nd, Aug. 9.-The body of
an unknown white man was found covered
with bushes near Harris wharf on Sunday.
Decomposition had so far set in that it
was cnly by the hair il was possible TO
determine whether he was white or black.
The corpse was carefully covered with will
low boughs and was only discovered by a
colored fisherman from Hartford county be-
ing attracted to the spot by the odor.
Coroner Owens held an inquest, but was
unable to determine the cause Of death.
The fact that the body was beyond the
high water line removed the possibility OF
drowning, while the care with which 1T was
covered with the brush gave color TO the
theory of murder, though no marks of foul
play could be discovered. package of
cigarette papers. pearl handled pocket
knife and so cents in money were the only
articles found in the pockets. There was
nothing by which the identity could be
established. On a 10-cent piece in the
pocket was engraved the words, Beware
Of wine, women, and cigarettes"
At the inquest ii was brought out that
the man had gotten of the Baltimore
steamer July % and had enquired the way

in his shirt and gold link cuff buttons. The
remains were buried near the point where

DEMOCRATS At SARATOGA
Mayor Van Wyek Of New York
Joins the Conferees.
Former Ambassador Eustis and For
mer senator Butler of south Caro-
lima Expected ant the Springs Next
week-A Movement FavorinE the
Formation of Antitrust Clubs.

Saratoga, n. Y, Aug 9.-The most note
worthy addition TO the Democratic leaders
gathered in Saratoga is Mayor Van Wyck
of New York, who is the centre of an ever
changing group of politicians in the corri-
dor of the Grand Union from the time of
his arrival
At q minstrel show in Convention Hall
last night, the name of Judge Van Wyck
was mentioned for President, and rousing
cheers were the result.
Former Senator M c. Butler, of South
Carolina, is expected on Monday, and for
mer Senator and Ambassador James b.
Eustis of louisiana, will probably arrive
on Monday or Tuesday.
Ii is hoped that Senator John T. Morgan,
Of Alabama, will also come next week. and
possibly Representative De Almond, of Mis-
souri, candidate for the Democratic cau-
Gus nomination for Speaker. 1t has been
suggested that former Chairman Harrity, of
Pennsylvania, was looking especially after
the interests OF former Governor Robert E.
Pattison, but there is no apparent evidence
that he was here on any such mission.
The great desire seems TO be TO shape the
fight of 1900 upon issues which will make
the present bright outlook for q winning
campaign, for so the leaders consider II, ma
terialize into a Democratic victory. To this
end Mr. Rasin, OF Baltimore, and others
cordially endorse the suggestion of Judge
Walker, of Missouri, that antitrust clubs
be organized throughout the South for edu-
cational discussion the coming winter.
There seems TO be a prevalent impression
that the time has come to drop the defen-
siye, assume the offensive and force the
fighting by a vigorous attack upon the
antitrust line and the Republican mis-
management of the war III there is any
purpose TO oppose the policy of expansion
it has not been discoverable. but the hard
knocks are 10 be dealt on the question of
administration.
Captain Johnstone. of Mississippi, thinks
the sentiment against Bryan's nomination
is growing, especially in the South, and
MI Willis of the same State, says Bryan S
refusal to vote for Crisp for Speaker, be-
cause he was former Confederate, has
weakened him there, while former Repre-
sentative John Tarsney now a federal
Judge In Oklahama- is arguing his point
against Bryan with much force.
There is great anxiety for the arrival OF
Judge Wfllett, OF Alabama, for whom tele-
grams are already pouring in, as he is
looked upon as a leader in the movement
which is assuming such formidable pro-
portions.
There will be some interesting and inn
portant conclusions formulated by this as
semblage OF the Democratic policy before
the end Of August.
Judge Willett, in a letter just received
considers that Mr.. Croker's announced in.
tentiol to return to England next spring
is significant as showing Tammany's pur-
pose to avoid prominence in national poll
tics, as this would prevent even Croker!
attendance at the National Convention.

ALTGELD WRITES A LETTER.
His Views Upon the Democratic Po-
sition i'm Kentucky.


sition i'm Kentucky.
Louisville, Aug. 9-The following let
ter was received by prominent politician
in this city from former Governor Alt
geld today:
Chicago, August T. 1899.
Your telegram received. If We are cor
rectly informed in regard to the condi-
tions in Kentucky, then the real question
presented there is whether fraud, trick
cry, thugism and crime shall be permitted
to triumph, and inasmuch as these ele-
ments can always be controlled by corrup-
tionists, the question broadens out and be-
comes one of national Importance.
For il these elements are to triumph in
Kentucky it means that they will have
comparatively easy road to travel in eth
er sections of the Union, and il means that
political conventions, instead of being
run by the people and carrying out the
policy and will of the people, will be run
by men who will betray the people and
will be controlled by those interests that
plunder the country. Viewed from that
standpoint, il is apparent that the very
existence Of democratic institutions is in
volEed. and that consequently it is the
duty Of every man who loves his country
10 do what he can TO crush out these con-
ditions.
But whether ii would be advisable for
me to go to Kentucky and make speeches or
not viii depend on circumstances; il will
depend largely upon what the people OF
Kentucky do themselves. If they show a
disposition TO rescue their State from the
control of the rotten politics and they con-
clude that l can help them l will gladly do
what ] can, and / think a similar spirit
will be found all over the country. On the
other hand if the people of Kentucky should
in the end show themselves TO be indiffer-
ent then il is clear that no outsider could
do anX good there. Very respectfully,
yours, JOHN P. ALTGELD." 9"
"P Stocking at the situation from
this distance it seems to me as if a new
Democratic ticket for State offices would
be the salvation of Senator Blackburn, for
it would result in bringing out full Dem
ocratic vote, whereas. if there is no new
ticket put up and the disgusted Democrats
should remain away from the polls as they
are liable to, then he would be in great
danger"

NEW YoRKs FRENCH QUARTER
A Gradual Movement From Bleecker
Street to Twenty-Eighth

New York, Aug. Ever since Italians
from Thompson Street began to press upon
the downtown French quarter ten years
ago, there has been an exodus of the
French colony to other parts of the city.
The change began four or five years ago,
| and new French quarter had begun to
form in the region west of Sixth Avenue
between Twenty-third and Thirty-t third
Streets. The exodus now is nearly COM
plete. The corner of Bleecker and Woos-
ter Streets, once the heart of the down
town French quarter, is now entirely given
over to the Italians, and is rapidly becom-
ing the heart of the west side Italian quar-
ter. Where once were the neat French ta-
bies d'hote of Bleecker Street and the
neighboring thoroughfares are now Italian
cafes and tables d'hote, usually far from
neat, sometimes actually squalid. All Eu-
ropean tables d'hote in New York belong
TO the same species, but they have their
varieties. Chicken is the piece de resist
ance OF the Italian table d'hote in Bleecker
Street, as it was of the French table d'hote
The former has certain accompaniments of
shredded fish and queer pickles that the
latter never had
1t was like pulling up by the roots, that
French households have strong local at
tachments. So ii took many years to COM
plete it. For the first five years many of
the French colonists hoped that the wave
OF Italians might not prove a flood and
held their ground until driven out by the
odor of garlic and that other peculiarly
Italian odor that suggests a mixture of ap-
pies and dirt.
Now the French colony, with some loss
translated from the Bleecker Street region
TO the new quarter, say five blocks north
and south and two blocks west from the
corner of Sixth Avenue and Twenty eighth
Street. The public first obtained hint of
the change on discovering that the block
of Twenty-eighth Street between Broadway
and Sixth Avenue had suddenly begun to
look like Bleecker Street. The resem-
blance continues, but most persons have
rot discovered that the French quarter has
been bodily transferred.
But the French colony cannot well feel
at home in the new quarter, because it is
too big to become wholly French and too
modern to receive outwardly the impress of
the French inhabitants The little three
story brick houses and the narrow streets
OF the old French quarter were we'll suited
TO the small ways of the colony. 1t was
possible for an old couple to hide their
poverty in cellar with a sunny areaway,
and exc out living in the sale of javeIle
water and fower-seed without painful pub
licity. But there are no such friendly shell
tering hooks In the new quarter. Not even
the display of patriotic emblems and pic
lures can give the new quarter French
character. That favorite picture of the
Alsatian family with jealously closed win
dows celebrating the 14th of July may be
displayed in the windows of the newspaper
dealer, but the German saloon across the
way gives il the lie.
