Stewart stand. Tn for BRYAN.

NEW YORK, Aug. 24-Senator William
NJ. Stewart, of Nevada, said last night: Il
see that Mr.. Bryan denies that he side
tracked the silver question. i knew that
he had not done so. 1t is still the para
mount question, and can never be thrown
aside for anything else. The people OF the
country are determined TO have 1t. and
sooner or later there will be a trial of the
free coinage of silver. / was aware that
Mr.. Bryan had never changed his position.
His Iowa speech expressly stated that so
far as the issues of 1896 were concerned he
stood just where he stood in 1896. The whole
speech simply meant that he recognized the
fact that there were new issues for the
coming campaign. think that Mr.. Bryan
will be renominated by reclamation, and
also sincerely believe that he. will be elected
by n great majority"

Germany and France May Attempt to
MeddIe I'm the Trouble.

CAPE TOWN. Aug. A.-The Delagoa bay
incident, coupled with the recent transit
cf a large amount of ammunition, has di-
rected the attention of the British officials
10 the immense accumulation of the muni-
tions of war in the South African Repub-
lies, especially in the Transvaal. The uit-
landers being debarred from carrying arms,
the supply of weapons, as shown in Lour-
EMO Marquese Delagoa bay) returns for
three years is greatly in excess of the
burghers' requirements, and consequently
there is a growing feeling among the
British community in South Africa that no
settlement of the existing crisis will insure
lasting peace unless 1t includes provision
for the reduction Of armaments. The Bar
bourton News claims to have information
regarding the intention of France and Ger
many 10 interfere, with view of partici-
pating In the proposed inquiry and that the
Transvaal government entertained their de-
mands regarding the dynamite contracts,
hoping to make it an international ques-
ton. According TO this authority when the
Volksraads commission reported against
the cancellation of the contracts the French
and German consuls communicated with
Paris and Berlin in order TO ascertain If
their governments would support the re-
quest of their subjects and would take
steps TO secure official representation of the
commission of inquiry. No replies were
vouchsafed. which was regarded as equiva-
lent to refusal. and the hoped-for counte-
nance of the French and German govern
ments is thus withheld. The Transvaal gov
ernment, it is asserted by the Barbourton
News, desires an opportunity TO climb down
without offending the amour propre of the
burghers. but if no opportunity is afforded
then war will not be shirked.

BUMS MUST 60, SAYS CHIEF PHtLPOT-MANY CAKE WALKERS AMONG
 THE NUMBER.
CHIEF PHILPOT's MOVE
The Lucille Rowland Stranded Owing to Roustabouts Refusing to
 Work.

The steamer Lucille Rowland ar- rived from Memphis Friday night. She had about four roustabouts when thirty is usually employed.
 The boat officials could not get negro roustabouts, as they fatty r9- fused to work. "Its too hot, says one. w e can live without work" says another. T can beat all sich, exclaimed another, and as result the boat was delayed several hours.
 Finally smooth idea was origi- hated by Mr. 6. E. Philpot, the Ar kansas River Packet Company's agent here. He went to his brother, Chief of Police c. M. Philpot and told him of the trouble. Chief Phil pot generally knows where to find loafers, and going to that certain place he found a large number of them. Some were sleeping while others were dancing, singing and Iounging about, He arrested number, charging them with va grancy, after learning that they had no visible means of support. We can't find work was the excuse they began to give. That was all Chief Philpot wanted them to say. He took them to the boat, got them positions as roustabouts, each re- ceiving $1 per day. The Rowland left immediately for Memphis with a quorum of roustabouts.
 They will probably desert the boat when she reaches Memphis but the trick was smooth one, and it proves that the only time the "bums" of this city vii. work is when they are driven to it.
 Pine Bluff cake-walk circles are minus many of their high steppers 1 today as a result of the Nowland's visit. but we predict success for them in the Tennessee City.

Once Year for Forty Three Years Hs Has Done
as The Snakes Do.

Butte, Mont, Aug. 25.-A man who
year. and who has done so regularly
for the last forty-three years, is one
of the curosi.ies that Butte boasts Of.
The mani. Nj. Price, fairly well ed
ucated miner-is at the present time
engaged in the curious pastime OF
skinning himself. The method that HI
adopts is TO first skin his hands and
face and then strip II in an Immense
sheet from his body.
The process of skinning his hands
and face was completed recently and
II came from the face like a mask. The
skin from the hands resembles a pair
OF gloves and was exhibited on the
streets. The toughness is something re-
markabe and two men tried with
might and main TO tear 1t. They were
not successful, although the skin is not
thicker than the leather of a mans
street glove Price talks freely about
the matter. although he is rather ten
der about any publication i'm the news
papers. Many physicians haze exam
ined him during the period OF the skim
ming but not one has been able to
solve the problem. In speaking OF the
matter Mr.. Price said:
my mother told me that she first
noticed the trouble when / was six
months old. and regularly every year
since then / have shed my skin. IL is
a phenomenon that no physician has
yet satisfactorily explained. although
hundreds have made examinations and
Investigations. The fact is. that shed
my skin, and that is all there is to it,
Regularly on the oath day OF July each
year L feel the premonitory symptoms
and on very few occasions has IL miss
ed the gath OF that month. The first
thing feel Is nausea, and then | know
that / am in for It. The skin becomes
perfectly dead and the perspiratlon
that should came through forms I'm
blisters under IL and the whole thing
becomes loose. / generally cut a circle
around my wrists. with the aid OF n

purpose OF preserving IL I'm the shape OF

the same manner. but am compelled to
