 Certainly, with pleasure said MT. Kern. But to make sure you would better shake hands with that man over there-that one with the side whis. kers. That's MT. Sherman" The stranger did as suggested, and ther MT. Sherman and MT. Kern began moving toward each other, and pres ently the long, sinewy hand of the second man on the Democratic ticket was grasped in the plump one of his Republican opponent.
 They smiled genially, exchanged felicitations on the drop in the tenn perature and other commonplaces, and then departed to catch trains.
 With reference to the Big Four rail- road pass belonging to Mr. Kern, which was reported found Monday, it leaked out that Mir. Kern had lost 1t along with the other contents of his pocketbook at Connorsville. Ind, upon his recent visit to that city. MT. Kern believes in the press of the crowd the wallet was deftly lifted from his pocket.
 The pocketbook, minus the money it had contained, but with the papers, including the Big Four pass, was found under a stone at Connorsville, and reached the hands of newspaper editor, who notified Mir. Kern at Balti- more that the purse had been found
 MT Kern said Tuesday that the pass had been given him in the routine .lat- ter as an attorney acting for the Big Four road in a number of damage cases.

 forwarded to Chairman Mack reads
 'In pursuance of information as to your date for return here, when I went home before, assumed I would find you here upon my return Friday. now learn that you will be detained in the east until Tuesday, and as l must be home Monday, I leave Satur- day.
 Since the president and his cabinet have joined forces with MT. Hearst and three Wall street brokers to make a personal fight against me, notwith- standing the president in his answer to MT. Bryan, abandoned his charge about Ohio Standard Oil cases, yet by all the means at the command of the government and the millions of Hearst and his Wall street allies, they per sist in vicious. unwarranted and un- truthful attacks on me-personally welcome the call and shall meet with all the vigor at my command, I shall treat them all as private citizens and subject to the penalties of the law which they merit.
 "In this I know I shall have the aid of my neighbors at home for all proper purposes; but my time must be free from other demands here. Again my heart is full of hope for the election of Mir. Bryan and Kern. Hon. est government and rule by the people is at stake. Important beyond any battle at the polls in the last gener. ation is the pending contest I would not for one moment consider remain ing in any way connected with the committee. therefore. hereby tender my resignation as treasurer of the Democratic national committee that not the slightest contest of my own could in any way be used by the pres. ident to cloud the sky and shield. our opponents from discussing the real is sues and laying bare the Repub Mean duplicity to the people. c.

THE CHOLERA SITUATION.
In Russia 7,1o2 Persons Have Died of
 the Disease.

St. Petersburg, Sept 29.-Since the beginning of the epidemic there have been 15,6S3 cases of Asiatic cholera reported in Russia and 7,102 deaths. In St. Petersburg alone, since the presence of the disease was officially admitted. September 8, there have been 4,931 cases and 1,s75 deaths re- ported
 The figures with reference to the in- vasion of the city by the disease can not be relied upon, as on number of occasions authoritative sources showed the number of cases and deaths in a single day to be far in excess of that announced by the authorities. The efforts of Premier Stolypin and some of the higher government officials. however, which recently have been di- rected toward arousing the municipal authorities to action, have resulted in an appreciable betterment of the sanitary conditions and a consequent decrease in the disease as shown by the figures given out Sunday. For the 24 hours ending at noon the mum Der of new cases in the city was 26S and the number of deaths l43, as com pared with 312 new cases and 153 deaths for the previous "A hours, and 357 cases ard 162 deaths between Thursday noon and Friday noon. The people have taken heart because of his improvement, notwithstanding the fact that since the beginning of the epidemic the cases multiplied at an alarming rate. and health offlcials nave been encouraged because of the comparatively low death rate. In 1892 when the cholera carried off thou sands in Russia, the death rate reached 50 per cent The death rate in the present epidemic has been be- tween 30 and 35 per cent.
