THE SCHOOL TBOUBLE

BOARD ARRANGES TO POT THE QfUIrdbbn in scaooL.

Work On the Eighteenth DWtyct School WiU fie Stopped Until Inert Summer.

The school trouble In the Eighteenth district was brought to a focus yesterday it a special meeting of the school board. The occasion of the meeting was the following communication, which was yesterday received by the president of tha board, I. Q. Button:

Terre Haute, lod., Sept. IT, 1896.

J. Q. Button, Esq., President School Board: Dear Sir—As secretary of a meeting of the citizens of the Eighteenth school district I was Instructed to notify yoo as president of the school board, that unless school is provided for the children of th« Eighteenth district by Monday, September 24, 1*86, or a satisfactory answer given this secretary Within twenty-four hours as to your intentions in this matter, legal action Will be taken agvnst tho school board at once. Please give an answer so» that the same may be read before the meeting Friday night, September 18th, at Galloway's hall.

W. h. Galloway, Secretary. 1603 North Ninth Street.

Upon receipt of this letter Mr. Button Immediately called a special meeting of the board for 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon at the High School building. After thoroughly considering the matter the board prepared the following letter la reply to the above communication:

Torre Haute, lud., Sept, 17, 1896.

To the Patrons of the Eighteenth School District Mr. W. L. Galloway, Secretary: Oontlemen—Your communication of this data at hand. Ia reply to the same we will say that in conference with a committee from your district on the evening of September the 11th, we clearly agreed to furnish the children of your district accommodation in the Seventh, Thirteenth and Seventeenth districts, and In such other rooms as could be procured, provided it appeared that by September 26th tho new building would not be completed by contract time, October 1st. The committee present accepted this arrangement. On the following morning, as evidence of our good faith, we called the contractor before us and urged upon him in the strongest possible terms the necessity of finishing the house on time, notwithstanding that on September 5th wo had sent him the following communication: Mr, A. Promme, Eighteenth School Building,

City: Dear Sir—This board is not at all satisfied with the progress made on your contract, and we insist that you put on all tho force you caH work to advantage that we may be able to open school in the building early In October, as per your contract with this board. Otherwise, we shall be obliged to deduct the amount stated as damages for each day that we are deprived of the use or the building. Respectfully yours,

J. Q. Button, President. J. M. Cllft, Secretary.

But the action of your meotlng seems to indicate that you are not willing to await the earnest efforts of this board to provide you with the best school facilities in the state. We, therefore, have concluded to listen to your demands and admit your children tj the Seventh, Thirteenth, Seventeenth and euch other buildings as we may be able to procure, notwithstanding this will lead to the overcrowding of these houses.

It Is evident this action on our part will remove the immediate necessity for the completion of the new building. We will, therefore, proceed to enclose tho same and finish it next season. Thus relieving the board from any possible financial embarrassment from the completion of tho building at this time. Respectfully yours,

J- Q. Mutton, President.

?V! Howard Sandison, Treasurer. J. M. Cllft, Secretary. The question of a new school building In the northeast part of town has been under consideration for the last two years, the first move being made in the sumer of 1894. The question was brought before the city council and its necessity urged by Mr. J. Q. Button. The council immediately appointed a committee to investigate the matter. They reported a very great need of a building ih that part of town. The matter was then left with the financial committee of the council, which reported that they could not see their way clear to build a $30,000 building. The board then wilted a year in order to accumulato the money in the school treasury. They then advertised in advance for two new building plans, the same to be submitted February 14, 1896. As a result of this there were forty sets of plans received by the board from the best architects over the country. In their advertisement the board had stated that the plans accepted were to belong to the city after being used. After much study the board accepted the plans of T. S. Allen of Joliet, 111., and Vrydagh & Sons of this city. Upou acceptance of plans the board called for bids from local contractors only. On opening the bids it was found that A. Fromme was the lowest bidder for the Eighteenth and J. S. Sonefieid lowest on tho Fifteenth district. The board immediately entered into contracts with them and the work was commenced. The principal cause of delay in the Eighteenth district was by the inability of the contractor to get material from the South.

Mr. Button said last night there would be no changes made In the teachers of these wards. Most of the teachers will be needed and the few that are left will do supply work until their services are required. Arrangements will bo made at once to take care of the scholars.

FINANCIAL OUTLOOK CHEERFUL

Bankers Talco An Optimistic View of the Situation in GeneralNew York, Sept. 16.—According to New York bank presidents and the Wall street banking community in genral tho present financial situation and its immediate outlook are cheerful. Continuing gold imports, the strong position of the treasury and the banks, the political gains for honest money in New England states and the eaBlng of money aro important factors, and their influence must necessarily be felt. But in the general judgment it is doubtful whether any marked change for the better will be shown before the Novembor elections. President W. W. Sherman of the National Bank of Commerce said today: "The financial situation looks quite clear to me. The bank statements have not yet shown the real importance of the gold imports. When they do it will be seen that the banks are in a strong position. But I do not look for easier money until the senseless hoarding of gold ceases. The hoarding has In a measure become less general, but there Is still much of it going on all over the country, and I do not think this will stop until we know the result of the presidential election, and until it does cease I cannot see auy change for an appreciable easing in the money market. The New York banks are sending considerable money to the West and South to move the crops. For this reason the bank statements do not show as large increases as otherwise they would."

President G. W. Williams of the Chemical National Bank said: "I have no fear for the future, immediate or otherwise. The Vermont and Maine plections have greatly restored confidence. Money is easy now and with new importations of gold may ease still more. There will of course be a tension until after November, until every doubt as to tho currency Is cleared. I think we will see considerably more gold imported. There is little or no hoarding that I know of. The hanks are in excellent condition, but the hesitancy In business circles tends to make them conservative."

President James H. Parker of the United States National Bank says: "The outlook is altogether favorable for business interests. Money will be easier,

much earlier this

of the Supreme Court and former district attorney of Erie county the platform, an unequivocal endorsement of the Chicago platofrm and ticket and a denunciation of Republican state legislation.

This, in brief, is the work of the Democratic state convention which closed its labors In this city today, if merely the perfunctory work of the convention is looked at. It is, however, a significant fact that the state or organization leaders who have heretofore controlled the conventions of this party are still at the helm. Senator Hill, Senator Edward Murphy, ex-Lieuten-ant Governor William F. Sheehan, Richard Croker and each one of the smaller lights of the party who serve under these men's banners are undoubtedly satisfied with the work of today's convention. It has been predicted up to last night that these leaders would have no control of the state convention, and that they themselves would practically be read out of the party in order to make room for more youthful aspirants. The result of the convention today is this: A ticket made up of strictly organization men has been nominated the Selection of Elliott F. Danforth for chairman of the state committee by the leaders who did not attend tho convention was agreed to the national committeeman to be selected next week will be a man favorable to the organization leaders, and the platform is not as radical as it was Intimated some weeks ago it would be.

Those who are inclined to be extremely radical in their advocacy of silver display some little disappointment tonight over the platform, but as a whole it is taken with a very good grace. The refusal of Tammany to indorse the candidacy of one of its own members, William Sulser, was not due to any personal objection to him, but rather, as was explained by Senator Grady, because it was believed that Tammany would embarrass itself and be accused, in the event of Mr. Bryan's defeat, of Belling out the national ticket to secure the election of one of its members to a state office. It is very generally conceded tonight among the more prominent of the delegates that the selection of Mr. Thacher and Mr. Porter will not be successful in preventing the gold standard men from nominating a third ticket.

Henry D. Lloyd Can't Accept.' Chicago, Sept. 17.—The following telegram was received by the Associated Press tonight:

Fall River, Mass., Sept. 17.

Kindly state that I cannot accept the nomination for lieutenant governor by Wednesday's People's party convention.

THE TURKISH ATROCITIES.

Great Britain's Position Defined By the Foreign Office. London, Sept. 17.—The foreign office has given out the following semi-official note: "The outburst of the continental press against Great Britain, which is accused of selfish designs in the East, has astonished official circles. Nothing that is being done or contemplated by the government could give the slightest color to such assertions. "The government cannot hold itself responsible for the natural horror inevitably inspired in the minds of the public by the atrocities at Constantinople. The policy of Great Britain has, however, undergone no change whatover, and the government is acting in complete accord with the other powers as it has hitherto done. "Nevertheless it is becoming obvious that the public feeling in Great Britain has been so outraged by the shocking events in Constantinople that the government would never be supported in again siding with the portes. "If tho powers cannot see their way to adopt means to co-operate to end the carniage, the only course open to Great Britain is to stand aside and hope for a more satisfactory state of affairs."

An Armenian Plot Disclosed. Constantinople, Sept. 17.—The police announce they have made an important discovery of bombs and other explosives and Incrminating documents In an Armenian house in the Faubourg Scutari. Two of the leaders and many of the members of the Armenian committees have been arrested in connection with the discovery and have confessed their guilt. They have so denounced many of their accomplices to the police. The police have a hope of being soon able to unearth the whole plot.

The Powers Not Disposed to Assist. London, Sept. 17.—Dispatches from Berlin, Vienna and St. Petersburg to the Times reproduces semi-official articles given out at those capitals, showing that the powers are not supposed to assist in any coercion of Turkey.

¥«tcr(lay'» Vandalia Wreck. The wreck on the Vandalia Wednesday night was not as serious as was at first reported. The information In yesterday morning's paper was all that could be learned up to the time of going to press. The investigation yesterday showed that the wreck had been caused by a washout and that the engine simply rolled over on its side, hurting no one.

Sew Cafe to be Opened.

Tomorrow there will be a new cafe opened In Terre Haute. The Bank saloon on South Sixth street, owned by Duddleston & Check, will put in a firstclass restaurant. Ben Murray, the wellkuown oook, will have charge of the kitchen. Meals will be served at the new place at all hours, day and night.

OUB CAMPAIGN KXCXTES TOM PIO~ fU OF EUROPE.

Levy Mayer Says That the Question In This Campaign Is Considered to Be On* of Honesty or Dishonesty.

At the present time fingland and alt Europe stand between fear and hope a& they breathlessly watch the fierce struggle in America between honesty and dishon"h esty."

With these graphic words Levy Mayer described the attitude of European countrios toward our political fight as be sat in the library of his home at 1816 Prairie avenue last night, says the Chicago Times-Herald. He has just returned with his family from a two months' tour of Europe.

The prominent Chicago lawyer was entertained widely during his visit abroad and was given especial opportunities to see the inside views that the heavy English investors are taking of the financial contest in this country. Mr. Mayer has returned with the firm belief that a sudden panic, followed by terrific disaster to American financial Interests and to the entire American people, will be precipitated by the defeat of the Republican party. He feels postitive that Bryan's victory will be th# signal for the dumping upon our markets of more millions of American securities than our entire national debt amounts to.. "During my ei&ht weeks' absence from the city," said Mr. Mayer, "I spent half my stay abroad in England. That country is a most anxious and interesting spectator of the pending political crisis in this country. It is regarded as not an ordinary election, but as an out-and-out contest between honesty and dishonesty, integrity and repudiation.

Of More Interest Than the War. "The English are paying more attention by far to the outcome of this struggle than they devoted to the rebellion, in which they took so material and vital a part. English money has built many of our railroads, and to a considerable extent has aided in the promotion and development of our manufacturing and agricultural interests. Over $1,250,000,000 of English money is now invested in this country. All of this investment is evidenced by American public and private securities to the payment of which in unadulterated money both our public and our private faiths are committed. "The American political vicissitudes and .cauldron are always somewhat of an enigma to even the English student. The spectacle of an American political party, which apparently represents the party now In power, standing upon

a

platform honey­

combed with the principles of financial repudiation is appalling to the English mind cal parties may come and go with the waning moon in England, but the financial and economical administration of that country is as fixed as the Rock of Gibrai-

"Woney is more plentiful in England toay than it has been at any time since 1870. Though the Bank of England's discount is W per cent, private and banking bills are eagerly sought at I per cent per annum.

The Bank of England's discount rate is always.higher than private rates. English consols which now carry 2% percent Interest are now selling at 1.10, thus netting the investor barely 2 per cent. But even at this low rate there is at present a great agitation in England over what is called the coming crisis in "consols," as the consolidated national debt is-termed. Strong pressure is being brought to bring about an increase of the national debt and a consequent increase in the amount of consols in the market, for the sole purpose of affording on added means for safe investment of idle money.

Money Will Come Here.

"Now, if this country annihilates at the coming election the cardinal principles of the Chicago platform, hundrecs of millions of dollars in English money are certain to |ome to this country, and thereby foster and stimulate American industries and American enterprises. If, on the other hand, we should b& cursed with the ^afektrophe sure to result from tno adoption of the venal system promulgated by thfc.jC&jcago convention American securitiesf,he^l abroad, far exceeding in amount the present national debt of this country, would tie literally dumped upqn our markets, with ia result as appalling as it would be jdisa^trous. "At the present time England at$ a^ll Europe stands between fear and hope.1. They are unable to believe that a country whi,^h has so recently shown such a bold, stropg and aggressive foreign policy is able pr willing to commit the crime of legalized bankruptcy. The press, as well as alj,other classes, in England are devoting more and more time to the discussion of the probabilities of the coming election. They will not believe that the American people have lost their reason or that they will attempt by governmental enaction to declare that eighteen inches make a yard or that 53 cents make a dollar. "The uncertainty, however, which prevails over there now and will continue to prevail there until after the election, makes utterly stagnant all financial intercourse between the two countries."

Speaking of the Diamond Match interests, Mr. Mayer said that he knew of his own ".tnowledge that there is no chance of a combination between the Diamonds Match Co. and the English monopoly.

IT IS DIFFERENT NOW.

What the Terre Haute Gasette Had to Say •Tiino 07, 1896. A prominent Republican of the city hands the Express a copy of the Terre Haute Gazette ot June 27, 1896, containing an editorial on "John Peter Altgeld." The aGzette's editorial so clearly presents the real motives of the silver crowd that the Express feels it should be printed again, The Gazette's views follow:

Tho Altgeld anarchists ia Illinois rant shout tho "Eastern money sharks. J50 Eastern capitalists ever force loans on the west, js there anj law compelling speculative or impecunious people to borrow money? Ana is New York to blame because Altgeld fl/wo,000 building in Chicago doesn't pay nljn anything above Interest and taxes?—New Yori* World. "The intimation in the last sentences quoted above is Important if true. That John Peter Altgeld (and by-the-by AKgeld is a queer name for a sllverite) makes the tenants in his $1,000,000 Unity building sign gold leases, binding themselves to payment in gold, has been long known. But thi^t he borrowed the money, to erect the Unity building and that He stifl owes it, is in the nature of news that explains ifiany things.

Assuming" It to be true, then John Poter borrowed the money 'to erect the building expecting the' profit Cfti' it above interest and taxes to finally make him a rich man. His speculation has not turned out as happily as he wished. And now he proposes to scale his debt by government enactment and make his creditors, possibly the poor depositors In some savings bank, accept 50cent dollars for the 100-cent dollars they loaned him and with which be put UP this in

when Ira borrowed this money. It gold, or money as good as gold, when b»* borrowed it end he ought to pay his creditors as good money as ha borrowed from them.

Had the money he borrowed been the ?heap BO-cent 'silver dollars that he' now proposes to have the government mints coin, his building, which cost 1,000,000 gold dollars to erect, would have cost 2,000,000 silver dollars.

What he did wm to borrow 100-cent dollars and now he.prpposes with the assistance of the government to pay his creditors With 50-ceht dollars while by special gold leases from his tenants ha exacts from them his rentals in gold dollars. In a word John Peter proposes to have the government enable him to cheat bis creditors, possibly poor savings bank depositors, out of a half million dollars. And he calls this patriotism and lovoof the

poof.

^God save

the mark! vi John Peter Altgeld, May the way, Illustrates a phase of this money question. He passes for a rich man,

as

most so-called rich

men do. That Is to say, he has in his name property of great value, for the sky-scrap-ing Unity building in Chicago is a great property. Its rentals almost equal the total rentals of a country township, if one could suppose the land to be held by one man and rented out. But all Is not gold that glitters and

a

stands In

his name. He

owns the property but owes for it. It would be a very slick thing if John Peter or any other man could borrow money and buy or build property and then own the property and not owe the debt, either by not paying It at all, if it could be gotten out of, which it generally cannot be, or by scaling it and paying 60 cents on the $1-

John Peter Altgeld is a type of thousands of so-called rich men. They own property, much property, but they are large borrow era of money, and very often this borrowed money is the savings of comparatively poor depositors in savings banks.. According to the latest statistics of savings banks the United States the number of depositors in savings banks in the United States was 4,875,519. Their total deposits amounted to $1,810,597,023, an average of $371.36 tc each depositor. The debt of the state ol Indiana, which is about $8,000,000, was almost all borrowed from savings banks The way men get rich is by borrowing the aggregated savings of the poor at 3 6r or 5 or 6 per cent and then putting it into ventures that will pay them or that they think will pay them from 10 to 100 per cent. It Is out of the difference between what they pay for the use ot, money and what they make out of its use that they get rich. That is what John Peter Altgeld attempted on a large way, but, as it seems, he over-reached himself. His Judgment was bad. He has failed to realize his ex pected profits, just as a country grocer, who buys a hundred dozen eggs at 5 cents a do?en, expecting to sell them at 10 cents a dozen, falls to make money if his judgment as to the future market was bad and he Is compelled, after keeping them several months, and having some of them spoil on his hands, to sell them at 4 cents a dozen. Under such circumstances, and that sort of thing, something like it we mean, is hap pening hundreds of times over the coun try every day, the man whose ixpected profits fails to materialize grins and bears it. He does not, like John Peter Altgeld, prance around on his hind legs, paw the air with his front hoofB and bray about patriotism and wrongs of the poor and of shylocks.

That John Peter played for a big stake and lost, or failed to find the golden fleece he was seeking, does not make his case one whit different from the egg buyer who dealt in coppers and lost, where John Peter dealt In dollars and failed to win.

It would seem as If the creditors of John Peter Altgeld ought to do one of four things—make him pay, foreclose their mortgage, make the mortgage notes frayable, as his tenant's leases are, in gold, or refuse to do any business whatever with a man who tries to cheat them out of a portion of the money he borrowed and tries to do It hypocritically in the name of patriotism and love of the poor."

In Itotait or Don Carlos, the Claimant for th* Throna--An Interview Wlti Him—Claim* of the Dissatisfied.

Madrid, Sept 17.—There are unmistakable signs in Carlist circles that Spain may soon have to face most serious Internal troubles, as well as the uprisings In Cuba, the Philippine Islands and possibly Porto Rico.

Th® CarUst deputleiT ear^y during the present month took a determined stand against the adoption by the chamber of the Wll providing subsidies for the Spanish railroads. They claimed that the money thus appropriated could be better employed In Cubs and elsewhere, protested against the whole policy of the government, financial and political, and thereby placed themselves on record before the people as 7?ing opposed to all the ills complained of by the suffering masses of Spain. Later, when the railroad subsidies were adopted, the Carlist deputies withdrew in a body the chamber.

Questioned at that tlmo in the lobbies and elsewhere as to tho probable attitude of the Carlist masses, these deputies did not hesitate to say that they would not guarantee that their adherents in Catalonia, Navarre and elsewhere would not take to the mountains and once more raise the standard of Don Carlos, If patriotism demanded it. In fact, one Carlist deputy, Senor Sana, openly proclaimed that the direction of the CarllstB would soon pass Into the bands of their military leaders, adding that the Carlists were perfectly organised in almost every province, and that they were prepared to take advantage of any favorable opportunity to take the field again in support of their chieftain, Don Carlos 'de Bourbon, Duke of Madrid, who claims to be the rightful heir to the throne ot Spain.

To Prepare For Arraii

Other Carlist deputies publicly admitted that they retired from the chamber in order to avoid any responsibility for the disasters which they foresaw were arising as a result of the government's policy, and it became known later that secret instructions were sent by the Marquis Cerralbo, the principal agent of the pretender to the Carlist organizations throughout Spain, notifying them to prepare for a call to arms in case of a good opportunity arising for reasserting the rights of Don Carlos by force of arms. The Marquis Carblnna, who showed up the municipal corruption of Madrid, and who was waylaid and nearly killed for his trouble, wrote to their newspapers, declaring that the Btand taken by the Carlists, like that of the Republicans, in protesting against the sending of further reinforcements of troops to Cuba, might be the signal for grave events and serious internal struggles.

Then, to cap the climax, the Carlist deputies issued a manifesto, explaining and defending their action in leaving the cham•ber of deputies, and declaring that their leader would decide when the proper moment had arrived to respond to the call of the nation, which would summon them to save it. The manifesto also placed the Carlists on record as supporting the supremacy of the church, the throne and a parliament­

TYNAN FN PRISON^' -to: 7:,,: .ais Ki*--Tho Alleged Conspirator is Being Closely

Guarded By His Jailor*.

Boulogne-Sur-Merj Sept. 17,—Frederick Gallagher,' representing himself to be a cousin pf Tynan,t hi'company with a journalist, vainly sought to obtain access to Tynan in prison today. The strictest precaution is being taken to prevent any attempt at a rescue of the prisoner. The public prosecutor permitted Gallagher to write a series of questions, which were submitted to Tynan, who only replied to one effect, that he did not desire legal assistance and that he relied upon the "French governement to refuse his extradition.

representing all classes, and advocating the freedom of the provinces In administrative and financial matters.

Under ordinary circumstances, that is to say, if the Spanish government had been hands free, these manifestations would have been followed by repressive measures, including, probably tho arrest of the defiant Carlist'deputies. In fact, It is said that this was what the Carlists were anticipating, as it might have aroused the people that an insurrection throilgh Spain would have followed, but Premier Canovas claimed not to regard the attitude Of the Carlists In a serious light, and gave it out that the government was confident that the pope, the clergy generally and the house of Austria would bring, pressure to bear on the Cafllst chtefs and prevent any uprising. t)on "tkrlos' ^t.ntenaentK.

It was also Intimated that Don Carlos had promised-the^pope and Emperor Francis Joseph, of Austria, within wh'ose domains the pretender resides, not to do anything which would be likely to hamper the Spanish government in Its task of suppressing the insurrection in Cuba, and preparing for the possibility of embroilment witb the United States.

In an interview with Don Carlos, published yesterday, the pi "tender is reported to have denied that he has enterad into any agreement with the iope or with Emperor Francis

Joseph not to attack the Span­

ish regency. Don Carlos is also quoted as adding that, while it is true that patriotism enjoys a peaceful attitude upon his part at present, the same patriotism might counsel a'change of opinion, for, he concluded, he Is perfectly free to choose the opportune moment to reassert his rights.

The publication of this interview has again set the hearts of the Carlists beating with expectation, and it is more than likely a serious reverse to the Spanish arm3 in Cuba will be followed by an outbreak of the Carlists, who are admitted to be better prepared than ever before to take the field with the hope of success. Don Carlos, through his marriage to the Princess De Rohan, In 18D4, was enabled to command a large fortune, and there is no doubt that this money and other funds, for a long time past, have been utilized to prepare for another attempt to place King Charles VII. on the throne of Spain. If Spain loses Cuba, which seems to be more than likely, the Carlists claim that the downfall of the present regency will follow immediately, and that Charies VII. will be triumphantly placed, upon the throne with little or no trouble. The Spanish ministers, however, claim to be well able to cope with the Carlists and to suppress the insurrection in Cuba and the Philippine Islands at the same time.

He takes a very hopeful view of the campaign throughout the West, and says that the committee feels certain of Nebraska, and will be surprised if the Republicans do not carry several Western states. He says that Wisconsin and Michigan are safe, and he believes Illinois is also very sure to go Republican. There is much work yet to be done in Minnesota, and the committee is somewhat concerned about Iowa. When askel about the prospects of having some speeches in Indiana from General Harrison, he replied: "He will not agree to make any speeches in this state. I have received a letter from him within the last ten days, in which he says that he cannot take assignments to speak. He has two magazine articles to write, and he has a law case In Cincinnati October 6th. He will probably get back here about October 1st."

General Harrison has promised the Indianapolis Republicans that he will make

MISSION BOARD FREE OF DEBT

Treasurer's Report Shows the Deficit oft I,HBt Year In Paltl. Boston, Sept. 18.—The financial statement from the treasurer of the American board of commissioners for foreign missions contains the following: "For the first time since August 31, 1892, it has been able to close its business year without a debt. The churches and individuals of the board's constituency have not only rallied generously to remove the debt, but have contributed to the current expenses sufficiently to overcome a considerable shrinkage in legacies. Costly retrenchment on mission fields and extreme economy in administration have been necessary. The total receipts have been $743,104, and the total expedltures, $627,060, leaving a balance of $115,185. Deducting from this the debt of a year ago, a balance is left in the treasury of $502. The regular donations were $426,730. The donations for special objects were $48,989 legacies, $116,DS8. The total receipts from all sources were $743,104. "In addition to the above and aside from all receipts for the work of the board, $130,035.06 has been forwarded for Armenian relief, and more than $80,000 for Armenians in Turkey from Armenians friend* and relatives in this country."

THETEXASSAFELY FLOATED.

The Big Battleship Mot Injured By Being Aground. Newport, R. I., Sept. 17.—The United States bttleship Texas, which went aahorfl at the mouth of the harbor here last night, was floated'early this morning, and is apparently uninjured. There was no rock under hef. Four tugs were required to get her into deep water. The work was accomplished after half an hour's steady strain. The Texas went aground through the chief engineer's mistaking a signal, and for a time It was thought that she was in danger of destruction.

Divers who have made a thorough examination of the hull of the Texas report that they find 6he is In no way injured, and will not have to be docked. Captain Glass has his report of the accident ready to forward to the navy department. It is stated that there will be no need of a court martial to determine the responsibility. The machinist in charge of the reversing gear admits that the blame is his, as he misunderstood the signals.

PARKER'S STARTLING FIND.

Grave Fall off Banian Bones Discovered Near a House Once Occupied by Holmes Chicago, Sept. 17.—In the dense woods between North Bvanston and Wllmette a gravo has been found of human bones. The discovery was made by A. H. Parker, of Evanston, who with his wife has been making frequent excursions Into tho woods during the last two months. Mrs. Parker some weeks ago declared the place was a grave, and urged her husband to Invebtlgate It. He at first refused, but Anally consented Just to show his wife that she knew nothing about graves. He dug long enough to turn up a few ribs and a Uiigh bone, and then called onthe police for help. This afternoon, several other bones and a skull, supposed from its size to be that of a woman, were found. The investigation was stopped by darkness, but will be resumed tomorrow. The spot Is only a few rods from tho bouse In which H. H. Holmes lived at Wilmette, and it is thought by the police that the bones may be those of some ofhls victims.

The bones had evidently been Interred within two years, and were apparently placed in the grave without a coffin. No clothing of any sort was found.

CHAIRMAN BUTLER HOPEFUL.

He Says the HoT«iurat Towards Fusion la •JJ, J,.

(f

Washington, Sept 17.—-Senator Butler' said today that the movement to secure fusion between the Democrats and Populists on electors and congressmen in the various states was making satisfactory progress. He instanced the fact that an agreement on electors had been reached in Missouri and said that negotiations were in progress for an understanding on congressmen in the same state. In Indiana, be said, there had already been a fusion of the forces of tho two parties on congressmen in two of the districts and he was led to believe that a similar understanding would be arrived at throughout the state. The committees of the two parties are now In session in Indianapolis consulting upon a basis of fusion on electors and the senator expressed the opinion that they would reach an equitable agreement. He expressed the opinion that the Populists would be given four or five of the electors and that the coalition would make Indiana safe for Bryan. The senator also said there was little doubt that a perfect understanding would be reached in West Virginia, on the basis agreed upon between himself and Senator Jones, giving the Democrats four and the Populists two electors. Alabama and Kentucky are giving the two committees no little concern. Ia Kentucky the Populists ask for only two of the electors. Senator Joneif concedes that this is a modefet demand on the part of the Populist, but the Democrats of the state have not yet signified thrir willingness to concede it. The two chairmen united in a recommendation that the Alabama electors be divided by giving the Democrats six and the Populists five, but no response has been received. It Is admitted that the situation in this state Ik delicate because of the feeling existing oetween the two parties over local issuea While he has no direct Information from Texas, the Populist chairman refuses to believe that a fusion between the Populists and Republicans of that state on electors is among the probabilities.
