G A M PAL G N FUND S
DEMOCRATS TO BE BETTER OFF
FOR MONEY THAN IN .a6.
Clark of Montana Will Probably Con-
tribute Observation-Disclosures
From Eastern Men.

II Is not believed that the democrats will
be quite as badly off for campaign funds
this year as they were in '96. They are not
likely TO have overabundance of money
now. but in comparison with SO they will
be pretty well fixed. While the republicans
have almost limitless resources it is doubt
full whether there is any especial benefit
in having much money above what is abso-
lutely needed for legitimate expenses This
much democrats Likely to have and
therefore the contending forces will meet
more nearly on an even footing than they
did in '96.
Clark of Montana.
1t is not disclosed how much Clark of
Montana has contributed, but he has rea-
sons to be grateful 10 the democrats who
in the face of unanimous report from the
committee on privileges and elections de-
claring that his election had been improp-
erly procured. kept him from being turned
out by formal Vote 'of the Senate and
aced him in a position to go back to his
state without the stamp Of disgrace having
been actually put upon him, to seek rehabil-
itation and reelection. He was still further
recognized and received as in no way hav-
ing forfeited his right to good standing in
political council by reason of the alleged
wholesale bribery of the Montana legisla-
ture when he appeared at Kansas City at
the head of one of the delegations claiming
to represent that state in the convention.
He was not only awarded the seats over
the contestants, who represented the same
element in the state which prosecuted the
charges of bribery in connection with the
senatorial election. but was loudly applaud
ed in the convention when his triumph was
announced. Mr.. Clark has not the reputa-
ton of being ungrateful in such matters.
and it is believed that he has or will con-
tribute literally to the campaign fund. His
contribution is not likely TO be affected by
the attitude nf the in aityro
on the silver question, though free coinage
should be obscured altogether in the cam
paign, since he is not rated as much of a
silver man any how. and was not conspicu-
Gus as contributor to the campaign of '96.
Expectations From Eastern Demo-
Gratis.
Some Of the eastern democrats who have
pected to contribute with greater or less
liberality this year an evidence of their
good faith and to re-estab ablish their infiu-
ence in the party.
Moreover. some of the wealthy anti-im-
perialists will, ii is said contribute with
fair Eberality. From these several sources
and from a few men of means outside OF
politics who are infatuated with Bryan il
is expected that they will be able to raise
funds enough for a campaign economically
administered. They certainly do not antici-
pate being as much in distress for want of
money as they Were in 1896. though they
will not have enough to be eXtravagant
with.
1t is not thought that the republicans will
have as much money they had in 1896
but there is no doubt of their having as
much as they really need or can use 10 an
advantage in the campaign.

THE DISTRICT CENSUS.
Result of TabuIation to BE Given Out
TOMORROW or SRturday

The work of tabulating the population of
the District of Columbia is progressing at
the census office. and 1t is expected that by
tomorrow or Saturday the result of this
tabulation will be given out The census
office is adopting method different from
that pursued at the last census After the
population sheets were received by the di-
rector of the census in 1890 preliminary re-
ports were issued giving the results of the
census based on the count that was made
before the work was tabulated by the use
of the machines. The result of pursuing
this method was that when the final and
official count was made there was slight
discrepancy in the statements of the popu-
lation of all the large cities This discrep-
ancy, although but slight. was sufficient to
cast some doubt on The integrity of the
figures and made confusion in the minds
of many people as to the exact showing of
the. census work. In order to avoid any
such confusion this time the preliminary
report when it is given to the public will
contain the final count.

Army Transports.

The army transports plying between San
Francisco and eastern ports have again
been placed on a war basis, with the re-
suit that no more passengers not attached
to the military establishment will be car
ried between those points. The demand for
such transportation has become so great
especially from women, that the Secretary
of War has found 1t necessary to issue the
following notice discontinuing the practice
of carrying passengers between San Fran
cisco and the Philippines:
In due of the requirements Of the SER
vice, all permits for the transportation of
persons not actually in the military service
by transport sailing from the Pacific coast

AWFUL STORY OF CANNIBALISN.
Bushmen From Cape Oxford Eaten oI
Coast of New Britain.

VICTORIA. B. c.. July 12.-Bushmen
from Cape Oxford. according to a letter re-
ceived by the Miowera from Sydney, We're
killed and eaten by cannibals on the coast
of New Britain. The German government
is taking steps TO punish the cannibals.
The natives who were made victims had
been trading, and when they reached the
landing I'm their canoes they were fired on.
Many We're killed and their bodies carried
ashore. But the most horrifying part was
when several men were captured alive and
dragged to the actual scene of the feast
their bodies were to provide. They were
dubbed and afterward roasted or baked
and eaten. The victims were not all killed
at once. some of them witnessing the kill
ing of their comrades.

Extent of S5.O0O.Oan.

The new commercial arrangement with
Germany under the reciprocity clause of
the Dingley law will be officially promui-
gated as soon ii is received from canton
with the signature of President Mckinley.
This is likely to occur within few days.
The concessions granted to the tinted
States are important in one respect Ihey
insure to this country the benefits OF the
conventional tariff which is granted to
other nations with whom Germany is on
friendly commercial relations The differ

those which the imperial government is
authorized to levy in certain cases runs
through many items of the tariff schedules.
and will have marked effect upon the
trade between the two countries. 1t is de-
clared by representatives of the German
government that the trade of the nited
States will profit by five million dollars
under the new arrangement.
Concessions by the United States.
The concessions made by the United
States were set forth in detail in the
Dingley act. They fixed the duties on argols
from Germany at per cent ad valorem;
brandies or other distilled spirits. s1.i3 per
