mittee on territories. He held up the , bill on the plea that there hadn't been time to consider it. Then came a genuine tug of war, with Quay and a majority pulling at one end, and Beveridge at the other. Beveridge knew his only hope was to fight off a vote. Meanwhile the Senate adjourned for the summer, and here came in Bever idge 's capacity for taking pains. He spent the whole summer visiting the territories and loading up information, and when the Senate met he was ready for the fight. Men shook their heads and said Beveridge was courting political death. But he hung on like a bull dog, and, debating with the utmost suavity of courtesy, so amassed his facts as to win the struggle out of hand, and New Mexico and Arizona are still territories. It was the last big figth Quay ever made. Sixty Thousand of Them Sold to the "War Department. The Standard Manufacturing company, of Cambridge City, in which Mr. B. B.

SulliExplanations were at once asked of Mr. Sullivan, and he declared in reply that the National committee had decided not to have Mr. Bryan as one of its speakers. The reason assign 1 hy the committee for this decision, according to Mr. Sullivan, is that in their opinion he would "do the ticket more harm than, good." When informed of Mr. Sullivan's declaration Mayor Harrison said: "We have invited Mr. Bryan to speak and I hope that he will accept. We think he will do the ticket more good than harm." Spoke to Cancer-Stricken Boy in the Poor House. London, July 15. King Edward recently added one more to the many informally democratic incidents that have marked h is relations with his poorer subjects since he came to the throne. Slipping away from the crowded Newmarket race track, where he had been watching his own horses run, the King drove to a neighboring poor house. A minute inspection of the arrangements there was made, and some pointed criticisms were intermingled with amusing chats between the King and his pauper subjects. In the poor house hospital His Majesty noticed a mandolin on a bed where a stable boy lay dying of cancer. In answer to the King's question if he could play it, the boy said he would like to try the nationaanthem. u. ji,u, Mm xvmj; uward and summoning all his remain ! i 1 1 lt l 1 1 ing sirengin me ooy sat up in oea, and played "God Save the King." His Majesty stood by the bedside until the familiar air was finished. What the King said to the dying boy is not chronicled, but this morning's newspapers say that when the King strode out and the hospital ward relapsed into its usual silence, the stable boy lay back on his bed, and said: "I can die happy now."
