The epidemic of typhoid fever at Chicago, 24 to 30 cases a day, is said to be caused by recent heavy rains. A. E. Cadt of St. Paul is spoken of as a candidate for governor before the re publican convention. He would make an excellent governor. A Missouri, Kansas and Texas pas senger train was held up last Thursday night by the Dalton gang at Adair, I. T. The robbers secured $40,000 from the Pacific Express company's safe. The steamer Chatterthun, arriving at Sidney N. S. W., reports a rumor cur rent that the island of Sangis in the Malay archipelago had been destroyed by a volcanic eruption, and that the whole population, 12,000 souls, had per ished. Ignatius Donitellt has been nomina ted for governor by the independents of 'Minnesota. It is stated that the candi dates for supreme court justices are all democrats and the understanding seems to be that they will be endorsed by the democratic convention next month. .Governor Wtlie of Idaho has ordered companies A and O to hold themselves in readiness to proceed to the scene of the Car d' Alene mining trouble, where a battle has occurred between Union and Non-union miners and where several men were killed Monday. The Columbus Telegram is another .. Democratic paper that publishes a Democratic platform containing the tar iff plank that wasn't adopted and omitted the tariff plank that was adop- ted by the Chicago convention. The Telegram is a free trade paper if it is anything, and ought to be honest in this matter. Norfolk News. - The Inter-Ocean having got into a . - dispute with the Chicago Herald in re- . gard to the wages paid at Homestead, . the L-O. challenged the Herald to print '. side by side the wages paid to one hun- dred of the best workmen at Homestead .' , in the Carnegie works and at Chicago in the Herald office. The Herald has not yet seen best to comply with the re quest, but squirms around considerably. The republican candidates for con- . grees and for governor this fall should not only be men of unusual strength and stability of character, but they Ehould be men who will challenge their opponents to a full discussion of all the points at issue between their respective parties. It is true, that in these positi ons talking ability is not tho only con- sideration, but it is certainly a very im portant element in the republican cam paign to have men on the ticket who understand why the republicans should win in this contest Synopsis of the Proceedings of the Board of Sapervisor-i.

Old Hands May Import for Duty Mon day at Abe Vsuil tluie Non-L'nluu Men Will B Kaaployed la the Kvut f tho Old Workmen Retuslug. Pittsburg, Pa-,July 18. At 9 o'clock this morning' the steamer Tide, lo:ule! with provisions, started for the ivui U at Homestead. She passed throng lock No. i, where six or riffht im boarded her. The report at the It:: was that they were laborers. One of the leading' officials of 1 1 . Carnegie Steel company was found ;i the general offices to-day sorting' ove a miscellaneous collection of ma among which were many letters niak ing applications for positions in th Homestead milts. Others expressed u dissatisfaction with the strike and were intended to square the writer with the firm when the trouble was over. Among the letters was the fol lowing, which the reporter was per mitted to copy, omittiug the signa ture: "Homestead, July 15,1892. Carnegie Steel Co.: There are a good many of us out for sympathy's sake, butsynipathy does not fill a hungry stomach unl there Is no use for 3,500 men to stay out for 200 who make from $5 to 810 a day. They can stand it to take a vaeatian if they saved their money, but we me chanics do not receive such a large amount and I think there are about the most of us that would go back if protection was secured." Homestead, Pa., Jnly H. Home stead was visited by another heavy thunderstorm last night, in which the lightning- struck in several places but no damage was reported and little rain fell. The front of the mill and river bank was last night guarded by soldiers so that it is impossible to enter the works from any side without being chal lenged by guards. The town is also thoroughly patrolled by the militia and squads are on every corner. As A result not the slightest disorder exists and the borough constables are practi cally supernumeraries. While the troops are here there will be no trouble. The locked-out men appear to be thoroughly cowed by the presence of the militia, and it is not probable that they will offer any re sistance to the introduction of non union men on Monday, although it is not to be denied that some of the less intelligent of the strik ers arc in a very ugly mood and may incite an outbreak. In this they will have the assistance of thous ands of idle hands from the Carnegie mills at Pittsburg and Beaver Falls, and laborers who sympathize with them. The troops may remain another week but will hardly be kept beyond that time. The Carnegie people, who realize this, are apparently preparing to meet any trouble that may occur after the troops leave Hugh O' Donnell said: "Not a man will go back." There has been little talk concerning the prosecution of the leaders of the strike for the disorders, but the leaders have taken time by the forelock and made every preparation in the event of arrest Bail sufficient in amount to cover any charge that can be brought against them has been secured, and counsel have also been retained. An occasional rumor that nugh O'Donnell and others would be placed under arrest by Sheriff McCleary causes some excite ment, but the men most interested seem unconcerned, and judging from outward appearances do not place much credence in the reports. The charge that would probably be brought against them is conspiracy. Some of those who are losing heart think that the killing of the Pinkcrton men may form the basis of an indictment for murder, but generally the people place little reliance in this suggestion. GIVK NOT1CK TO STRIKKK3. The Carnegie Company Warns the Men to Apply for Work He Tore July 81. Pittsburg, Pa-t 'uly 18. The fol lowing notice was to-day posted by the Carnegie Steel company at the Home stead mill in the vicinity of the works and was sent all over the country: "Notice Individual applications for emplopment at the Homestead steel works will be received by the general superintendent, either by letter or in person, until 6 p. in. Thursday, July 21, 1892. It is our desire to retain in our service all of our employes whose past record is satisfactory and who did not take part in the attempts which have been made to interfere with our right to manage our business. "Such of our old employes as do not apply by the time above named will be considered as having no desire to re enter our employment and the posi tions which they held will be given to other men and those first applying will have the choice of unfilled positions for which they are suitable. "This notice will be the last given to employes of the works and on a non compliance with this the places will be filled with non-union men." Secretary Lovejoy said in an inter view to-day: "There is not tbe least doubt, that we will have enough men to work the mill in a satisfactory man ner. The Homestead mill will b started up July 23 and the notice posted to-day will be the last. Th men at Beaver Falls and our Union mills, will be given until Monday July 18, to return to work under a new agreement. "The Union mills will be storied Monday, the 18th, and we will have no trouble in getting competent men to fill the places, in spite of what the men say about no one but old hands being able to successfully run the works." If there' are non-union men in the mills there are not more than ten or twelve. A prominent aad welMa formed labor leader explained the smoke from the mill by saying; "The cupolas are filled with dolemite and are lighted to save the burned stone in them.' 'A few furnaces "are fired also. This is being done to save them from dampness. There are mo 1 1 -iuen, counry attorney, smary. w Chas Waki. as.-e:sor. City Col 211 Miss Emilia Wake ass't. assessor of in HuLJraria but fh regular watchmen and a few firemen. These people were never stopped going to or from the mill. Our people thorough ly understand why the men are there aad are not alarmed about it, nor are they concerned over the lighting of the furnaces." ' Will Stay Oat For Homestead. Philadelphia, July 18. The several hundred workmen of the ironfa'nd steel mills in Kensington, who went on strike some weeks ago, have now de cided not to return to work nntil the strikers of the Carnegie mills do so. They acknowledge that they are .not in the troubles at Homestead and Pitts burg and state that they have come to the decision to stay out for a principle. GLADSTONE'S BIG JOB. Liberal Leaders -Worried by the Par- aellltea aad Labor Men. London, July 18. The question now troubling the Liberal leaders is how far the Parnelliteand Labor members will go in support of Mr, Gladstone. The Parnellites hate the Liberal leader more ardently than the Tories, and there is hardly u doubt that they would sooner see home rule defeated than ac cept it at his hands. The prospect of a 'home rule measure fashioned bjr Gladstone. Healy and McCar thy is something they cannot tolerate, and the Conservatives and Liberal Unionists will probably have at least the secret sympathy and, as far as possible, the active co-operation of the Parnellites. As for the La bor members, they profess complete independence, and while they are pre sumably not opposed to Irish home rule, there is no reason wliatevervfor, assuming that they will go out of their way to forward it Besides, a . large number of the straight Liberals gave but faint support to Home Rule in their election addresses, and may con clude to show a good deal of independ ence as to the details of a Home Rule bill. KagiUh Klertion Retnrua. London, July 18 At noon to-day the total returns received show the election of 250 Conservatives, 43 Liberal Unionists, 253 Liberals, 59 anti-Parnel-ites, 8 Parnclites and 3 Liborist. This gives the government 302 members and the opposition 323. At an early hour this afternoon the election returns showed only one seat gained by the Liberals. This was in the south division of Lincolnshire, where in the general election of 1886 Mr. A. R. Heath, Conservative, was re turned without opposition. Mr. Heath contested the district this year, but Mr. Perks, his Liberal opponent, was elected by a majority of S3t. At 2:30 o'clock the returns show the election of 265 Conservatives, 45 Liberal-Unionists, 262 Liberals. 64 anti-Par-nellites, 9 Parnellites and 3 Laborists. This gives the government 310 mem bers and the opposition 338. The two most importantdiits of news to-day were the return of Justin Mc Carthy for the North division of Long ford and the re-election of Baron Rothschild in Buckinghamshire. t BALLOTS TAMPERED WITH. Verdict In the Yanryu-Horan Election Case at Milwaukee. Milwaukee, July 18. The jury in Circuit Court in the election contest case of Henry J. Vanryn, Republican, against Alderman James Horan, Democrat, who was given a seat in the common council last spring through a mistake of the election inspectors in omitting Vanryn ballots, this morning rendered a ver dict declaring that the e velopes con taining the ballots had been tampered with after they had been sealed and that Democratic ballots had been sub stituted for the Republican votes. A grand jury will undoubtedly be called to investigate the case. Sootlieaitern Railroad Strike Noblksvillk, Ind., July 18.

Within three months the building has been on fire three times, each time the work of an incendiary. The loss by this morn ing's fire is $45,000 and is well insured. Rebates oa Canadian Caaal Tolls.

PROCTOR OR HOBART. Tho Republican Executive Committee Meets to Select a Leader. New York, July 18. The National Executive committee of the Republican party met in the Fifth Avenue hotel at 11 o'clock to-day to elect a chairman of the National committee to succeed W. J. Campbell, whose resignation was read and accepted at this meeting. Last night there was some talk of John C. Spooner for the place, but this morning it was said Mr. Spooner would not take it and his name would not be presented. Mr. Payne brought with him a let ter of resignation from Chairman W. J. Campbell, who is in Michigan and could not be present Very few local Republican politicians were at the hotel this morning, and thoBe who called took apparently little interest in the chaiimanship, Tom Piatt went down to his office early and did not stop in the hotel corridors to talk with the members of the committee. An hour before the meeting was called to order Senator Sawyer and several members of the committee had a consultation with Senator Proctor and urged him to take the place. It was evident that the Republican breth ren were all at sea. It was the general belief there that if argu ments were of any prevail Proctor would be the man. Second in the list at that time was Mr. Hobart If Proc tor could not be induced to accept the office Hobart was to be the 'man. That was the situation when the com mittee went into session Proctor, if he would take it; ifonot, Hobart Payne was not then considered, it being sup posed that he meant what he said. Tom Carter, secretary, called the meeting to order and the committee proceeded to elect its own presiding officer. Without doing any business the com mittee took a recess till 3 o'clock. Immediately after the recess was taken Whitelaw Reid addressed the members of the committee. He was introduced by Chairman Sutherland. The doors remained closed during Mr. Reid's address, While Mr. Reid was speaking Committeeman Payne re mained in conference with Secretary Rusk in the latter's room. After Mr. Reid stopped speaking the doors of the committee room were thrown open. Mr. Reid would not tell Jwhat he said in his speech. No one else would. The chairmanship was not mentioned ai me meeting. fjven then some hoped that Payne might take the place. Payne again said that he would not The committee decided that it did not want a serenade from Republi can clnbs to-night Spread or the Cholera. London, July 18.
