all mail matter arriving at the post
office for either of these parties or
consern5 and fbrbidding the payment
of any money orders drawn to their

This is the result of an investigation
by the postofice department which
showed that these PARTIES under their

above mentioned, were using the mail
for obtaining money from teachers
throughout the United States and from
those desiring to make preparation
for civil service examination by
means of false and fraudulent pre-
tences, representations and promises.
This was a revival of the scheme
operated by l.. d. Bass some time ago,

TRIBUTE TO sEWALL.
MIR. Bryan's High Estimate OF Hi
EOrmer Running Mnte.

Former Running Mate.
Grafton, w. Va, Sept. 6-Mr. Bryan
was Yslbly shocked upon being in
formed OF the death of the Hon. Ar
thur Sewall, his fellow candidate on
the national Democratic ticket in 1896.
He received the news through mes
sage from Mr.. Snwall'S son and i'm
mediatcly sent message of condo
lence.
Referring to Mr.. Sewall in a conVer-
sation, MIR. Bryan expressed himself
as panied at the news and said that
Mr.. Sewall was warm personal
friend as we'll as a political associate.
II met him first at the Chicago con-
vention," Mr.. Bryan said, "and during
the campaign had opportunity to be-
come we'll acquainted with him and
have seen him at Intervals since, the
last time in Georgia last February.
He was a man of strong character,
deep conviotions and upright life and
he had the courage to stand for his
opinions no matter how great the op-
position might be. When the silver
fight divided the party he was one OF
the few national committeeman, IL
not the only one in New England
who voted with the silver element OF
the party. He was n banker, but be-
lieved in bImetalllsm. He had con-
siderable income, but was willing to
pay income tax and was an earnest
supporter of Democratic principles in
general. His death brings loss to the
party as we'll as sorrow to those who
knew him intimately"

Cabinet NIoetInp.

Washington. Sept. 7.-Only three
members of the cabinet were present
at meeting, Attorney General Griggs
and Secretaries Hitchcock and Wilson.
a. was definitely stated at the conclu-
sion of the meeting that no late Of
fetal Information has been received
from the powers regarding the Rus
sian proposition to Withdraw troops
from Peking. 1t is understood that
nothing official has been received
either from Great Britain or japan,
and this government is now waiting
for information, particularly from
these two nations. The note from
Germany is not considered altogether
satisfactory nor entirely definite and
1t is thought something further from
tt1at government may soon be receiv-
ed. 1t Is authontatively stated that
Russia, SO far as this government
knows, has not modified her original
position and has not consented to
leave detachment of troops in
Picking.

board of the United Mine Workers of
America went into closed session at
10 O'Clock a. IN. Fred Dilcher arrived
early, just from Wilkesbarre, Pa. The
full board took up the anthracite
question. John Mitchell, president,
communicated with Hazleton, Pa, by
long distance telephone. No cncour-
hent was received. a general strike
order will probably be issued.
1--WE will certainly issue the order
for general strike, and the country
may as well be satisfied with
the atatement," said one of the
board members. 1--WE care lit
tie what the operators have to
say as to the impending distress in
the Wyoming and other valleys. We
are running things from indianapolis
now. The statement that there will
be great distress does not worry us;
we will take care of our men If they
go on strike, and will not ask the
operators for any financial aid"
w. ID. Ryan, secretary and treasurer
of the Illinois miners is OH the ground.
The Illinois men have n defense fund
of nearly 100000, and it is reported
that Ryan is here to pledge the iii
nois organization in behalf of financial
support in case n general strike is
ordered.
w. d. VanHorn's presence lends col
or to the reports that the national
board is carefully preparing to whip"
the bituminous operators into po-
sition where no relief can be given the
anthracite operators when a strike
