He noticed at the stations and other places where there were groups of men arguing the silver Question, that it was a central thine the Republican was better Informed and could array his argument with more effect, and when he got the bet ter of his Democratic antagonist be wae likely to carry the crowd with him.

New York, Aug. 23.—'Tha causa of sunstroke has been definitely discov ered, according to the claims of offi cers of the state pathological institutes They have made Investigations which show that. Instead of the sun’s rays being the direct cause of sunstroke, as has all along been believed by the medical profession, the internal chem istry of the body and Its secretions are so modified by atmospheric condi tions of excessively hot weather that some of these secretions become ab normal, either in (juality or Quantity, and are absorbed by the blood and act as virulent poisons. On the first day of the recent heat plague, Ur. Ira T. Van Oieson, direc tor of the State Pathological institute, assisted by two physicians, oegan in vestigations. 'i'lie conditions were peculiarly fortunate for the success of the prosecution of their work, A record was kept of all cases and ex periments were made on acute cases Animals treated with an infusion of blood from living cases just after they had been stlcken by the sun had con vulsions within an hour and a half and usually died. The physicians are convinced from the results of these experiinment* that sunstroke la really blood poiaanlng. FORGERY CHARGED. Depositors (letting After the Argentine Hank Cashier.

Washington, Aug. 31.— Chairman Duller, of the Populist national oora mittee, was asked the following ques tion last night: “In view of your statement to the effect that the Popu list candidates are Dry an and Watson, and will be until the close of the cam paign, and will be earnestly supported to the end without discriminations for or against either, what will be the position of vour committee with refer ence to those Hiates where Democrats and Populists have fused by the latter tuking the Hlate ticket and the former all of the electoral ticket?” “We have no olllciul In formation," lie replied, “that this has been done In any state; but if It has been done, or is contemplated, the national com mittee will not approve or recognise It. The highest law of any party Is the action of its natioual conventions. No man or state organisation car. be disloyal to such supreme authoilty without arraying Itself in direct and hostile opposition to the national convention. Our national convention nominated llryan and Watson by an overwhelming majority, and It la the bounden duty of every loyal Populist to support both of tnesc can didate* earnestly and loyally; and, hesldea, Watson stands for wliut Jtryan stands for. and therefore llryan and Watson is the only ticket that represent* the principles that the People's party believe in and have contended for from the beginning.

"Mo; hut it means that wherever i’opuifs's and Democrats join force, on the electoral ticket there must be a due and proper recognition of each party's candidate hy a just and equit able division of electors supporting the candidates of the respective war tics.” Senator iintler was asked what ef fect this announcement would hive upon the fusion In Kansas, where the Populist* took the State ticket and the Democrats the electoral ticket.hut he declined to go Into spec lie d>-tails, saying his announcement related to the general policy of the committee.
