Gov. Durbin Hears of a Big Campaign
Fund for TaEgart's Use.

INDIANAPOLIS. Sept. 26.-Gov. Durbin
reached home from New York to-day and
said that he had been informed credibly
that the Democrats would have one Of the
largest campaign funds that had been
raised for years. He said the fiscal agents
of the Democratic national committee
had just negotiated a loan of 500, 900
throu gh one Of the large trust companies
of that city. and that it was the purpose Of
the committee to send considerable part
Of the money to this and other assumed
close or doubtful States.
with Tom Taggart as chairman of the
national committee. Joe Tanning as his
secretary and Myron King as his treasurer,
said the Governor, Il will miss my guess
if a good sized slice OF this loan does not find
its way into Indiana. The chief aim of
the Taggart men in Indiana is to carry the
Legislature, and the money will doubtless
be used in that way
The Governors statement was soon
noised about the hotels and Democrats
and Republicans alike were greatly inter-
ested in it, Republicans said that there
are already evidences OF the use Of money
in Indiana and that the Democrats are put
ting up an organization that shows that
they are going to make a great effort to
carry the State.
Democrats smiled at the Governor state
ment and said they would be glad to have
all the money that could be sent here by
the national committee.

HOPE FOR LADY CURzON.
strength Fairly Maintained-Speciai Train
Takes Cylinders OF Oxygen to Her.

Special Cable Despatch TO THR SUN.
DOVER, Sept. 25-The bulletin issued at
Walmer Castle this evening states that the
condition Of Lady Curzon remains much
the same, but her strength was fairly main
tanned throughout the day. Inquiries made
late tonight elected the information that
the patient was as comfortable as was to
be expected.
The physicians said that IL Lady Curzon's
strength keeps up for two days there will
be hope Of her recovery. The peritonitis
has been considerably localized, and anti
streptococcus serum injected hypodermi-
cally as an antid ote to blood poisoning.
Cylinders Of oxygen and other special
appliances were telegraphed for from
London to-day and they arrived by special
train this afternoon. Ordinary traffic on
the line was held up to enable the train
carrying the appliances to make fast time.
The King, at his own request, receives
constant reports Of the patients progress,
and he also frequently sends messages to
Walmer Castle.
1t is stated that month ago Lady
Curzon was sitting in the garden of the
castle with pug dog in her lap when a
retriever belonging to visitor bounded
into the garden and jumped at her, trying
to get at the pug. Lady Curzon was un-
able to rid herself of the intruder, which
was roughly persistent. She became
alarmed and screamed for help for several
moments before she was heard and the
retriever driven OF. The nervous shock
had a most unfortunate effect owing to the
state OF her health.
