THINGS POLITICALLY WILL BE-
GIN TO EARNESTLY BUZZ
EARLY IN AUGUST.
Parker's Nomination Will Bring Back
to Democratic Fold Many Men
Who Bottled.

WASHINGTON, D. c., July 81
Things political will begin to buzz in
earnest after Judge Parkers letter of
acceptance has been given to the public
next month. President Roosevelt's let
ter was given out this afternoon,
and will form the topic of comment up
to the time the democratic nominee is
heard. Parkers letter will be the sig
nal to the campaign managers to get
down to business. And from that time
until the votes are counted, the leaders
Of the two parties will be kept busy de-
vising means Of getting out the votes,
appealing to public sentiment, and ad-
vancing the interests of the respective
candidates. There is talk that this is
to be a quiet campaign, but well in
formed politicians look forward to a
struggle of more than usual interest.
1t will probably be a closer contest
than the country has witnessed in
many years, and a contest that will
involve pretty much the entire
strength of the two contending parties.
1t cannot be denied that Parker is a
strong man and that he will poll a
large vote.

CABLE CONNECTING THE UNITED
STATES WITH ALASKA WILL
SOON BE WORKING.
Entire System Will Be 5000 Miles Long
An Achievement of Stupen-
dous Importance.

SEATTLE, July 27.-The Alaska
cable will be completed in a few days,
by bringing the southern end into
Seattle, and the event will be a notable
achievement for Alaska as we'll as for
the United States. General Greedy,
chief of the signal corps, with a num-
Der of other high officials, will be in
Seattle, and the joining of the wires
will be made a memorable occasion.
The completion of the cable will be
another step toward finishing the en-
tire Alaska telegraph and signal sys-
tenn, which it is hoped to accomplish
before this year is ended.
From Seattle to Sitka, Juneau and
Skagway the Alaska submarine line
will be something more than 1000 miles
in length. Last year the cableship
Burnside connected the southeastern
Alaska points and brought an end of
the cable southwark 800 miles from
Sitka. There it was buoyed, and this
year the work was resumed. In the
meanwhile the cable for the remainder
of the distance had arrived. This was
loaded on the cableshp at Tacoma,
and the Burnside sailed north to find
the end buoyed out from Sitka. This
was difficult, for the weather was
rough and for a time it was thought
the storms had dragged the line and
pulled the buoy beneath the waves.
Six Miles an Hour.
Delays have been encountered from
the start in the work of laying the
cable as we'll as in installing the other
Alaska signal systems and General
Greedy has almost been discoura ged
But unless something unforeseen oc-
ours now he will not be disappointed
as far as the cable is concerned.
The line lies out in the ocean and
on the way down avoids Canadian
waters. The ship reels it out at about
six miles an hour, and thus covers al
most $50 miles a day. On the way
down communication was kept up on
the vessel with Sitka and by the Ca
madam line through Dawson with the
United States.
The Burnside buoyed the line at the
southern end of Vancouver island and
just inside the straits of Juan de Fuca
and went to Tacoma for another supply
of wire to bridge the gap to Seattle.
Gable offices have been opened here and
a line run out into Puget sound to meet
the Alaska end.
From Skagway to Valdez.

While it is probably true that the
gold democrats will go back to their
party, what is to become of the old sill
yer republicans who supported Bryan
in his two campaigns? The silver re-
publican element is divided into two
classes; those that have been cured
of the silver fever, and recognize the
fallacy of Organism, and those who
still believe silver is an issue, and who
still are shouting for Is to 1. The
first class are men who generally be-
lieve in republican doctrines, but who
became befogged on one question; nat
urally these men will want to get back
into their original party this year. The
other element, the silver element, is by
no means satisfied with Parker, the
man nominated by the party with
which they are affiliated. They would
have accepted Parker had Parker ac-
copied the st. Louis platform, but af-
ter ParkerS telegram announcing his
allegiance to sound money these men
cannot support him. They are lost po
litically.
1t is unfortunate, in a way, that so
many of the old silver republicans are
located in the western states, that are
already safely republican. But there
are three states, by some regarded as
doubtful, where silver republican
votes may swing the pendulum, and
where they may insure republican sue
cess if they turn to Roosevelt. These
states are Nevada, Montana and Ida
no. Senator Teller of Colorado and
Senator Dubois of Idaho, two of the
leading boilers from the republican
convention eight years ago, will vote
for Parker.

The gold democrats who voted for
Mckinley in 1896 and 1900 are anxious
to get back to their old moorings. Par
ker's stand on the money question
seems to afford them this opportunity,
but much will depend upon his treat
ment of this question in his letter. If
that letter be strong in favor of sound
currency, as it probably will be. and
if it discloses staunch ideas on the
tariff and other issues, the greater part
of the gold democrats are likely to re-
turn to the fold. There may be some
old time democrats who will hold off
because the platform does not suit
them, but it is the judgment of we'll in
formed men that for the most part the
boilers will return.

stairs communicating with the upper
floor.
1t was on the rug lying at the foot Of
these stairs that came upon the first
Of a dozen or more burned matches
which lay in distinct trail up the
staircase and along the floors of the
upper halls. AS these matches were
all burned as short as fingers could
hold them, it was evident that they
had been used to light the steps of
some one seeking refuge above, posi-
bly, in the very room where we had
seen the light which had first drawn
us to this house. How then? Should /
proceed, or await the coming of the

fascinated, think, by the nicely of
the trail which lay before me.

while alight, the foot which had stamp

Now, by whom had this frenzy been

and shape Of the hand which had lei
behind 1t so neat and unmistakable a
cleW.
| Wonderful! But what did it all mean ?
Why should man rest his finger tips
on this out of the way shelf? Had he
done so in an effort to balance himself
for look up the chimney? No, for
then the marks made by his fingers
would have extended to the edge Of the
shelf, whereas these were in the mid
die Of it. Their shape, too, was round,
not oblong. Hence the pressure had
come from above, and-ah! I had it.
These Impressions in the dust Of the
shelf were just such as would be made
by a person steadying himself for a
close look at the old picture. And this
accounted also for the overturned
chair and for the handkerchief used as
a buster. Some ones interest in this
picture had been greater than mine;
some one who was either very near
sighted or whose temperament was
such that only the closest inspection
would satisfy an aroused curiosity.
This gave me an idea, or, rather, i'm
pressed upon me the necessity of pre-
serving the outline of these telltale
marks while they were still plain to the
eye. Taking out my penknife, light
ly ran the point of my sharpest blade
around each separate impression till l
had fixed them for all time in the we'll
worn varnish of the mahogany.
This done, my thoughts required to
the question already raised. What was
there in this old picture to arouse such
curiosity in one bent on evil if not fresh
from a hideous crime? I have said be-
fore that the picture as picture was
worthless, a mere faded sketch, fit only
for numbering UP some old garnet. Then
wherein lay it's charm, charm which
I myself had felt, though not to this
extent? 1t was useless to conjecture.
A fresh difficulty had been added to
my task by this puzzling discovery,
but difficulties only increased my in
terest. It was with an odd feeling Of
elation that, in a further examination
Of this room, I came upon two addi-
tional facts equally odd and irrecon-
cilable. --.

Result of Investigation of New York
Office.

Washington, May 13.-Exhaustive
inquiry into affairs of the New York
city postoffice recently was completed
by Charles H. Rohb, assistant attorney
general for the postoffice department.
The report, including the recommends
ton, has been approved in it's entirety
by President Roosevelt.
The report shows that Postmaster
Van Colt himself has been entirely in
nocent of any intentional wrongdoing
Some irregularities were discovered
and they did not, it is said involve
the integrity of Postmaster Van Colt.
The president not only has approved
the report and it's recommendations,
but he has directed that the recon-
mendations be carried into effect He
will not remove Postmaster Van Colt
andiit is not regarded that ground for,
