- OCIETY folk spent many happy
moments in Skagway during the
seven last DAYS that have lapsed
and are counted with the past. Their hap
piness was found in divers places and
walks and circles. The social chronicles
of the week speak plainly the metropolis
itan protlivties and attainments dominant
in Skagwav. Many enjoved themselves
In little social groups under the SUNNY
skies in and about the city, some in maxi
ing the excursion run to Bennett and re-
turn, some in tasting the charms of athlet-
les that smack of the social order, and
some in the drawing room, the public hall,
the theater and in the preparation of fu-
ture events. The excursion to Bennett in

tional boundary and treat themselves to a
few hours absence In another country.
Tennis, that fashionable society branch of
athletics, secured its introduction into
Skagway circles during the week. Base
ball, which also always commands the at
tenton of a certain share of the social low

tlon in the hearts of Skagwavans, espe-
cially those who went to Bennett and wit
messed the international game. On the
sane trip the camera was BUSY in the
hands of manv enthusiasts, A number of
those who figure In the social calendar
have been out this week in the capacity Of
nlmrods, and wheeling has furnished
many moments of pleasure and recreation.
So, on the whole, Skag wav has made
quite metropolitan showing In the social
and pastme world during the passing OF
the last of the seven suns.

CHICAGO. Aug 9.-The Tribune to-mor-
row will say: 1.-The national executive
committee of the Populst party is torn by
discord nv1r the question of its authority
TO accept Charles A Towne's declination of
the nomination for Vice President and to
indorse AdIai f. Stevenson, the Democratic
nominee for that office. No conclusion was
reached by the committee in session at the
Sherman House up to late hour tonight
and the matter will be further considered
tomorrow. There appeared to be a wide
disagreement regarding the resolution
adopted by the Populist national conven-
tion at Sioux Falls, S. D., concerning the
filling of vacancies by death, resignation,
declination, removal or otherwise. Secre-
tary j. A. Edgerton failed to bring with
him his account CT the convention proceed
ings; not one of the committee had copy
and none that anybody would accept as
official could be found in Chicago. Secre-
tary Edgerton stated that resolution gave
The national committee plenary power to
receive designations or declinations and to
fill vacancies, and some of the representa-
tives present contended that any authority
conferred on the national committee ex-
tended to the executive body. This was
denied. and the denals were quickly
backed by statements TO the effect that
any action taken by the executive commit
tee would have to go before the full ma
tional committee for its approval. 1t is un-
derstood that Secretary Edgerton has sent
for the official report of the proceedings of
the convention to clear Up the question at

NASHVILLE, Tenn, Aug. 9.-After nu-
merous meetings and conferences lasting
three days. the two Republican factions in
Tennessee, led by Congressman Walter p.
Brownlow, of the First district, and Pen
sion Commissioner III. Clay Evans, split
wide open to-day on the harmony negotia-
tions. and at present the gulf between the
two wings of the party is wider than ever.
The fight will continue through the cam
paign.
Pension Commissioner Evans's candidates
will be: For Governor, w. F. Polston, of
Alamo; for railroad commissioner, W. ID.
Owen. OF McMinn county.
The Brownlow candidates will be: For
Governor, John T.. Mccall, of Lexington;
for railroad commissioner. w. c. Hornsby.
of West Tennessee.
In addition TO these tickets there will be
two separate and distinct sets of Repub-
iican electors in the state and congression-
al districts. The Evans men will put out
candidates for Congress in the First and

the foreigners considerable trouble.
Secretary Root regards the situation.
both from a military and diplomatic point
of view. as much improved. The promise
of cipher communication with the minis
ters in Peking. together with the advance
CT the international forces toward that city,
is believed to have eorrelative significance.
IL Is also believed that the resistance by
the Chinese has not been and will not be
as great as anticipated by some authori-
ties who said the Chinese force consisted
CT the best of their army. The movement
or Yang-Tsun is i'm accordance with in
formation contained in the dispatch from
General Chaffee, which was not made pub
lie, and also in dispatch which was made
public after Pei-Tsang had been taken. 1t
is the expectation of the officials of the
War Department that the present recon-
noissance in force will continue, although
nothing is said as coming from General
Chaffee to that effect.
