from broken cars, BY which grain has
leaked along the tracks in transit and
been lost, or run out in large quantities

numerous cases, are now thus explained.

Hanna's estimate that Mclean. in
Ohio, is merely man with a pocket
book, is wide of the mark. He will
prove a giant with q sledgehammer,

manded q Republican rough, in far
gallery corner, at one of Mr.. Bryan's re-
cent speeches. Quick as flash, and
sharp as pistol, says the report, came

Il offered my services to Republican
president, the day the war was declared.
That offer was never accepted. I then
raised regiment of my own. Whe1
the treaty of peace was signed resigne |

which he will largely conduct in 1900,
the Second Battle. Chairman Towne
of the Silver Republican committee is
home ahead of Senator Jones, and, at
Lansing, Mich, is completing his mag.
azine articles, so as to enter the fall
lists as soon as possible. Upon the ar
rival of Senator Jones active work will

Chicago. His more immediate asso-

G.. johnson of Kansas, member Of all
the subcommittee and Hon. Sam B.
Cook, who has long been at the head o.
the ways and means work. They are
all able and faithful men and have the
confidence of all. This is specially the
| the case in the Northwest.

Wall Street was in a panic for the
past two weeks, the news of the same
being suppressed or doctored by the As

twice or three times prevailing rates,
and the banks, with surplus reserves
wiped out, did what? Rushed to Wash.
