POLITICAL CLUBS.
Clinton Democrats Discuss Formation
of One Soon.


of One Soon.
clinton, Aug. 30.-Leading democrats
are talking over a. project for a social
democratic organization. They contem-
plate club based upon the plan of the
Young Mems Republican club, which is
conceded to be the live political club of
the town It is understood that a pro-
vislonal meeting of prominent local
democrats will be held some evening
next week. If the sentiment of the meet
ing IS that a democratic club will be
practical, other democrats will be in
v1ted in, and the proposed club will be
made as broad as possible.
1t is feared that the project will split
upon one of several factional rocks in
the course. There are several different
kinds of democrats in town, and it is
difhcult to get one kind to lie down with
the other sometimes.
The republicans, however. are not
quite satisfied with the organizations
they have. c. F. Fairbanks, president of
the Young Mems Republican club, saws
that he may form a Guild campaign
club, before election day. Things that
Mr.. Fairbanks puts his shoulder to are
apt to succeed. Mr. Fairbanks is an en-
thusiastic Guild man.

ANTI-QUAY MANAGERS


fiiinScil 10 the Senate.
HARRISBURG, Pa, Jan. 222-E. a.
Van Valkenbers, who is managing the
anti-Quay campaign. issued q statement
tonight, in which he says the senator
ial situation Is no longer complicated
nor uncertain. Mr.. Van valken5arg
claims Senator QuaY's strength was at
high tide when he received 1l3 votes,
which Is just Il short OF Il majorltT
Against him are 139 votes. 81 Democrats
and 81 ant!-Quay Republicans
The Quay managers have abandoned
all hope of securing a single vote from
tha ant!-Quay ranks" he adds But
while admitting that no Democrat Will
vote for Quay at any stage of the con-
test they assert with an air of mys-
terry rather than of confidence that at
the proper time enough Democrats will
be found to supply the necessary II
votes that Senator Quay mus; have to
elect him. The Quay machine Is bank
rupt In the matter OF political patronage.
All of the attempts of the Quay people
TO create friction between the Demo-
Gratis and the anti-QuaYites have sig
nally failed. Senator Quay amnssed all
his strength TO break the anti-Quay
lines last Wednesday and failed. He
has given orders that every effort must
be made to break them next Thursday,
but he Will again fail. Senator Quay

SANTIAGO DE CUBA, Jan. oo.-The
order from the United States military
authorities in Havana, directing the
authorities Of the Santiago military de-
partmcnt not to eXpend cent OF the
customs receipts without the permIs-
sion Of the governor general, and the
order directing that hereafter the bulk
OF the sanitary work shall be done
without money pay. and for rations
merely, were given to the local press
for publication yesterday. though le-
ceivcd here last Thursday. w
El Cubano, in commenting upon the
instructions OF the governor general,
says: THE feeling is prevalent that the
only course now left open Is to retire
TO the mountains" si
This, OF course, is an exaggcration.
although the fact Is that there are peo-
pie who make just such threats.
as showing how far the province has
driftel backward since the first an
nouncement that the customs were not
TO be freely expended for provincial
improvements, the Santiago Herald re-
ports that band of men are commit
ting wholesale depredations In the
Mayari district, where several people
have been murdered, and that another
band In the Guantanamo district have,
burned all the cane prepared for press
ing on the Isabel plantation. These
outbreaks says the Heraldo. ''are the
first fruits OF the money Capitalization
system"
As yet the Mayarl report has not
been verified, and although Mr.. Brooke,
owner of the Isabel plantation. who ar
rived here yesterday, says that the
reported burning of the plantation
must have been done since lie left, as
the cane there was intact when he
cept the report absolutely, but says
that the adjoining plantation. the
property of Senor Bueno. was fired at
-four different points, the entire crop
being destroyed.
So FAR as the order concerning sani-
tary work is concerned 4 Cuban in
spector in the sanitary department told
Major George NJ. Barbour, the health
commissioner, of Santiago, yesterday,
that the Cubans OF the province had at
last regained their self-rcspect, and
would not work again for ratIons.
They do good work" he said, "and de-
serve to be paid in good money. II
they are ordered again to work for ra-
tions, most Of them will go to the
mountains"
The Independencia, which publishes
the two orders. is comparatively tenn
perate in its editorial comments. except
that it INDUCES in the usual personal
abuse of Governor General Brooke.
The editorial concludes with defiant
declaration: IF necessary the Cubans
will know how to act"
