BEGIN THE WORK.
Democratic Leaders Practically Omen
Their Presidential Campaign
at Lincoln, Neb.

Lincoln, Neb., July 1.-THE informal
opening of the democratic presidential
campaign took place in Lincoln Tues
day. In two ratification meetings, one
in the afternoon, conducted by the pop
ulists and silver republicans of Ne
braska, and one in the evening con-
Quoted by the democrats, William j.
Bryan, Charles A.. Towne, Gen. James
B. Weaver and other leaders Of the par
ties outlined the work of the campaign
in the interest of Bryan and Stevenson.
Probably $4,000 people, a good proper
ton from distant points in the states,
listened to the speeches and paid hom-
age to the leaders of the parties to
which they owed allegiance, nearly
5000 people packing the Auditorium
in the afternoon, while 10000 gathered
in the capital grounds in the evening.
Mr.. Bryan and MI. Towne spoke at
both meetings, although it was their
intention to deliver addresses only at
the evening meeting, and their re-
marks, ~forecasting as they did the
fusion of the three parties on the dem
ocratic national ticket, were received
with unbounded enthusiasm. Mr.. Ste
venson, who is Mr.. Bryan's guest, was
somewhat indisposed, and did not APP
pear at the afternoon meeting. He was
present at the evening meeting, how
ever, and received an ovation.

OUR ATTITUDE DEFINED.
Note Recently Delivered to the Pow
ers by State Department
Made Public.

Washington, July 1.-THE state
department has finally concluded to
make public the identical note which
was recently delivered to the powers
as defining the position of the United
States respecting the Chinese troubles.
1t is understood thatothis circular in
struction was drawn up on the 3Oth Of
June and transmitted to Canton for the
approval of the president, and COM
municated to the powers concerned on
the Sd of July. 1t embodies the
views to which the government has
strictly adhered from the very begin
ming of the present trouble and which
the different powers have one by one
taken into favorable consideration.
The view announced at the start by
the president that we did not consid-
er ourselves at war with the Chinese
nation, and that all our efforts should
be directed to localizing the disturb
ances in the province of Chilli and
keepingthem from spreading through
out the empire by enlisting on the
side of peace the powerful viceroys Of
central and southern China, has now
apparently been adopted by all the
other powers. It is too soon to
prophesy the ultimate results of this
policy, but thus far the indications
are all favorable.

70 of the enemy. There were no cas-

and Six Persons Are
Drowned.

Cleveland, o., July 9.-The famous
schooner-yacht Idler is drifting hall
submerged on Lake Erie 16 miles of
this port, and, in her cabin are the
bodies of six persons, members of the
family of James Corrigan, owner Of
the boat and a wealthy vessel man Of
this city. The dead are:
Mrs. James Corigan, wife OF, the owne,
Of the boat; Miss lane Corrigan, aged 20
daughter of James Corrigan; Ida May

gam, the mate, four sailors, two cooks
and the ship carpenter were also
saved. The yacht left Port Huron
Friday with the family Of Mr.. CORR
gan aboard and started to Cleveland.
Mr.. Corrigan was i'll and left by train,
The yacht was in tow until she
reached Bar Point, when the captain
left her tow and turned the yacht for
Cleveland. At two o'clock the storm
came up, and inside of five minutes
the yacht sank. All the women ex-
cepting Mrs. John Corrigan and Miss
Eta Corrigan were in the cabin when
the gale came up. They became panic
stricken and refused to leave the
place. The mate implored them to
come to the deck, but they refused.
Mrs. John Corrigan chung to a cork
sofa when the gale came and was
saved. r
According to the testimony of sew
eral sailors, the topsail, mainsail and
jib were all set when the storm came
up. This is denied by Biggam, the
mate, who declares that they were in
good condition to face the storm.
Capt. James Corrigan declared Sat
urday night that good seamanship
could have averted the tragedy. He
is almost frenzied with grief.
The Idler was launched in 1865 at New
Haven. Conn.,, being built originally for
S. ]. Colgate, who intended to use the
yacht for racing as we'll as cruising pur-
poses, n for several years spent the
yachting season in southern waters. 1t
was LOG feet over all, being Sc feet on
the water line and % feet beam. Its
tonnage was 191. 26. June IA, 1870, the Idler
became the most famous yacht in Amer
lean waters and was known all over the
yachting world for winning and defend
ing the American cup Eleven schooners
took part in he race and the Idler ran
away from the fleet and won easily. Aft
er that the Idler rested on It's laurels
and for a few seasons was used mainly
for cruising purposes on the coast. In
1876 Colgate again raced the yacht in
several regattas, the most famous of
which were the races for the Brenton reef
cup, which the yacht won. and the fol-
lowing year in September the 1dler won
the Cape May race cup, defeating a large
number of yachts. In 1882 A.. J.. Fisher,
of the Chicago Yacht club, purchased
the schooner and brought it to Chicago,
where it became the best known of all
yachts on the lake, and for a time was
the only large private yacht in use.

formerly, and wagons are again car
rying passengers, especially in the
North and South sides.
Demonstrations against transit cars
and their patrons occurred in various
parts of the city Tuesday night. A boy
was assaulted after he had alighted
from a car, and was stoned into insen-
sibility. Rocks were thrown al a num-
Der of cars, and in several instances
explosives were placed upon the tracks.
No one was seriously hurt, and the
damage to the cars was slight.
