FOR A THIRD PARTY.
Eastern Men of varied Political BE-
liefs Take steps Looking to AM
other National Ticket.

New York. July 16.-A third ticket,
to be selected by men who are OPP
posed 10 the free silver plank of the
democratic platform and to the al
legged imperia.istic schemes of the re-
publican party, may be placed in the
field. a call was issued Sunday for
a meeting to be held in this city this
week. at which plans will be laid for
attracting TO the movement the men
who fought Bryan four years ago, and
who are dissatisfied with the admins
tration of President Mckinley. In
prefacing the call for meeting the
promoters Of the movement say:
"The alternative of voting for McKin-
ley or Bryan confronts many thousands
of thoughtful citizens who are opposed to
both candidates. The voter who cannot
bring himself to indorse either the i'm
ferlalistic policy of the Mckinley adj
ministration or the financial Illusions OF
the Kansas City candidate will find him
self practically forced from the polls on
election day. unless some organized eff
fort Is made to enable him to express
his political convictions"
One of the sgners of the call said
ex-Speaker Thomas b. Reed would
have a chance to decline the nominal
ton for president.

OUR ATTITUDE DEFINED.
Vote 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 that this 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 Chih-Li and
keeping them 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. 1t is too soon to
prophesy the ultimate results of this
policy. but thus far the indications
are all favorable.

ST. Louis, July 11.-There seems to
be no interruption to the traffic on
the lines of the St. Louis Transit COM
pany, as the result of the determina-
ton of the former employees to resume
striking. The boycott, which hurt
the Transit company considerably
during the recent contest, was on
Tuesday, though not in such force as
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 at 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.

Prescott, Ariz., July 16.-A scene of
the greatest desolation and feeling
of deepest gloom pervades this town.
All that remains of the principal bust

walls and piles of charred and burning
debris. The fire, which started at
1O:45 o'clock Saturday night, was not
under control until three o'clock Sun

crossing that street. The most con-

The reelection of President McKin-

therefore. is whether he will exceed
or fall below the 271 electoral votes
which he received four vars ago. 1t is

as TO their vote; but these are insep-
arabic from every administration that
has had great problems to solve, and
in fact are fewer to-day than has
ever before been the case with any
president seeking reelection. When
the campaign is once under way. and
the people begin to realize what Me-
Kinley's election in 1896 has meant

A JEROME DISASTER.
Thousands of Square Feet of Ground at the United Verde Works Caves, Seriously Damag-
 ing the Shops.

The Jerome correspondent of the | Phoenix Republican gives the follow ing particulars of the caving of the ground at the United Verde mine on the morning of Oct. 19, and the dam age resulting:
 A cave at the great Verde works has caused damage to the extent of | thousands of dollars and the end is not yet. The cave began at about : | o'clock and at the present hour, lO:30, is still caving. An area of thousands of square feet is affected. In this area stand the blacksmith shop, ma chine shop, boiler shop, foundry, rail road tracks, ore bins, rows of small company cottages! tramwayS and | other costly improvements. On the l track above shelter there is a string of cars half buried in the cave. At the present time their contents are being carried out by d force of men. The incoming train cannot approach | any nearer than q point few hun drcd yards from the depot At the time of the cave there were no miners working in the mine, as it was be- tween the time of the working of the two shifts. The rows of cottages on the hill above the hoist house are in some danger of going down the hill with the slide. Two of them have al- ready slid out pf plumb.
 What the damage has been under ground have been unable to learn. The cages in the hoist house are slId- ing up and down, so it is certain that the shaft has not been damaged Above the hoist house the ground is settling dangerously near the shaft Two years ago the 2lst day of last July there was a cave which took in the foundry and assay office, killing | three men in the latter place. Ever since that time the ground in the foundry has been settling, little at a d time.
 Oct. ll.-ThingS around the works are taking shape this morning and most of the men are at work. Two furnaces are working. The cave has SC Cttled as lar as il will settle and the work of repairing the damage has al- ready begun. As far as the cave is | concerned it seems tO hauc done the mine a great deal of good. The men think that dangerous places hereto l fore existing in the mine are now filled in and the danger a thing of the past. The foundry, blacksmith shop boiler shop and possibly the machine will be moved to other ground before starting up again. The power house is safe and sound, and there is no dan ger of the cave affecting it. The shaft has not been damaged in the least. so really the damage iS nothing that can not be repaired easily. The railroad track will be repaired and the trains tO the depot in a few days. In a month from now d stranger coming tO Jerome would never be able to lo- cate the present cave.
