WASHINGTON' . July 17 ( Special Tele
gram ) -Postmasters nt first and second
class offices who have been counting on se
curing an Increased allowance for tlcrk
hire nnd additions to the carrier force at
tholr offices will be disappointed this } car.
A stallmtnt given out b } First AssUtant
Postmaster General Jones shows that the
Average Increase In the clerk hire approprl-
ation fur the past tvvent } years has been
6 per cent , or. In round numbers , about
JSOO 000 annually Upon this basis the
actual appropriation for 1SSS should have
been Imrcased by about } d ) < M > 00. Instead of
which the Increase was only $300,000. This
must be divided among over VOO offices , so
that It can readily be seen that each one
stanIs very little show for the Increased
allow n nro aske-d for.
The free delivery appropriation for the
prcs nt flseil } ear , 1S96-07 , Is In worse
condition than that of the clerk hlro ap-
proprlatton 'Ihe average Increase of apI
proprlatlons for the free deliver ) service In
the last ten joars annually , has been
about jmnono , or an average annual In
crease of about 10 per cent , whereas the
Increase for the present fiscal } ear Is only
? 37 656. or an Increase of one-fifth of 1
per cent
The requests from postmasters at the
free delivery offices already on file are for
400 additional carriers , which , at the orig
inal annual cost per carrier of $600 each ,
would amount to $240.000 for the year or
several times the amount of the additional
appropriation In addlton to these appli
cations there are at least flft } place-s de
manding that free deliver } shall be estab
lished at their postoftlces and to do this
would re-quire at least 150 carriers , which
nt } GOO each a } ear would amount to $ % , -
000 The aggregate of these requests for
addltlrnal carriers absolutely neccssar } to
establish the free deliver } service would
cost In salaries alone for the jear S4JO.-
000 or nearly ten times as much as the
additional amount appropriated by con

WASHINGTON , July 17 Senator Faulk

gressional campaign committee , who has
begun work already on behalf of the demo
cratic national committee and democratic
congressional nominees , having been quoted
In an Interview as saying that he was "in
thorough sympath } with the Chicago plat
form aud the candidate , " today sent a card
of correction to the Evening Star. The sen
ator said
"The statement does not correctly define
my position , and 1 feel unwilling to let It
pass In silence. 1 believe the Chicago con
vention was n. legal and regular ! } consti
tuted assembly of delegates commlslsoned
by the members of the part } to give expres
sion to the will and wishes of the demo
cratic masses of the country If present
nnd a delegate tq that convention , I should
not have voted for the platform as
presei ted to it ns In several respects it
does BO' ghe expression to my views on
certain public questions A majority of
that falrl } and regularly constituted con-
vcutlon however , adopted that declaration
of prlnrples Such a majority can alone
determine the principles and policies of a
national party Believing that the candi
dates nominated on the platform adopted at
Chicago , taken in connection with the
histor } and traditions of the party , more
nearly express my views In reference to
public questions than the republican candi
dates nominated on the platform adopted
at St Louis , I shall give my earnest sup
port to the nominees of the Chicago con

The woman of tact will Inherit the earth
If that Is the thing she most covets and
she deserves It , for she makes It a ver }
bearable planet to live on She is the prime
minister of society , the famll's secretar }
of war and the peacemaker of the universe
j I think I should prefer to live in a flat with
a woman with a temper ( and , as jou re
member. Dr Marigold said that a tem
per in a house was bad enough , but a tem
per In a cart was awful , and I may add
that a temper In a flat is worse , and I
know whereof I speak ) , than live in the
same house with a woman absolutely lack
ing In tact
The woman of tact for tact Is frequently
another name for presence of mind does
not seek to avoid things when they are
hanging over like the weapon of the un
fortunate Damocles as often as she pre
pares for them and averts the possiblllt }
of their occurrence She knons quite enough
not to communicate any bad news when her
husband and brothers and sons have not
had their dinner and -when they are waitIng -
Ing this Interesting ceremony , b < ? cause the
natural inclination of mankind Is to be
more kindly disnosed toward communica
tions when the Inner man had been refreshed
bv a hearty meal
She does not reprove the children or the
maids when strangers are present , because
children and all other dependants naturally
look up to high places and arc hurt and
scandal bed when their Ideal of justice and
dlgnlt } Is lowered.
The diplomatic woman knows , too , how-
to administer some just praise to the cook
before she tells her that the bereakfast was
a complete failure "Bridget , the waffles and
chicken this morning were not nearly so
good as } ou usuall } make them " has a
thousand times more effect than "Bridget ,
those waffles and that chicken which you
eent Into the dining room this morning -was
not fit for a Christian breakfast table "
She Is as sweet and as welcome as the
rose which blooms In barren places.

CLEVELAND. 0 , July 17 This hai been
another turbulent da } In the vicinity of
the Brown company's works A mob of
trlkers hung about the works all the after
noon making ugly demonstrations whenever
straggling militiamen or policemen appeared
This evening when the nonunion men were
taken from the works , Captain Zimmerman
w Ith a company of militia , cleared the street
Afterward the soldiers returned to the works
and a crowd of 1.000 men gathered In a
vacant lot across the street. They assailed
the militiamen with vile epithets and flnall }
Eomebod } suggested that the soldiers be
stoned Captain Zimmerman said he was
waiting for the stone throwing to begin
Just then a rock grazed his cap Then the
order to charge was given and the soldiers
plunged forward The crowd broke and
started to run , but all could not get awav
from the soldiers. At least a dozen men
were baoneted and some of them were
seriously hurt The Injured were hustled
away so quickly that it was Impossible to
learn the names of an > of them
At 0 o clock tonight a militiaman , re
turning to his home was attacked on Hamil
ton street b } a mob of 4.000 or 5,000 men The
soldier had enl } his Ude arms , and ran Into
a grocer } store to escape The crowd threat
ened to tear down the building , and he came
out Special Policeman Owen Murph } np <
peared and started to escort the militiaman
to the patrol station that police assistance
might be summoned , but the mob cncom-
pas ° ed them and attacked them with stones ,
sticks and fists Meanwhile word of the
trouble had been sent to the militia at the
Brown works and compan } r hastened to
the rescue at double quick AIth rifles at
charge , and baontts fixed , the } rushed at
the crowd , clearing the the street speedily
A number of men and bos were stabbed

An Interesting session has been conducted
by the army ordnance officers at Washing
ton In their effort to secure a suitable cov
ering for the new small caliber bullet ,
something which shall meet all the tech
nical demands upon It and be of American
product
The covering Is termed a jacket by the
experts , and that used hitherto is of cupro-
nlckeled steel. This bullet covering has
proved entirely satisfactory , sas the St.
Louis Republic , the only obstacle to its
continuance as a standard being the fact
that the jacket metal is necessarily ob
tained from foreign sources It Is thought
wiser to have a jacket made of domestic
product rather than to depend upon foreign
sources , and consequently American metal
firms have striven to furnish the War de
partment with the material required. There
have also been several tests of samples sub
mitted , the investigations being conducted
at the Trankford arsenal , near Philadel
phia Samples of material were furnished
by three New Hngland firms A Bridge
port Conn , concern submitted a sample
of aluminum bronze The tests showed
that It was difficult to arrive at the most
suitable proportions for the purposes in
view One the one band the metal } ielded
and the jacket was ruptured in firing into
nnv medium of considerable resistance as
oak. and , on the other hand , there was
found to be too great hardness and brittleness -
ness In draw ing
Very favorable results were obtained in
experimenting with a special German sil
ver submitted b } a Waterbury ( Conn ) firm
The second lot did not work entirely like
the first aud annealing was thought to be
nece'sar } In drawing The experts appre
ciate that In the manufacture of special
samples of metal It la difficult for a time
for the foundries to reproduce from lot to
lot the properties which have at first at
tracted favorable consideration The Waterbury -
bury sample Is found to fall a little short
of the present standard In penetrating tests
upon oak and does not inspire quite the
same confidence as to uniformity from lot
to lot. but It gives favorable velocities and
excellent accuracy , and could doubtless be
made to answer all practical purposes.
Tests were also made with a preparation
of cupro-nlckel submitted by a Torrington
( Conn ) firm. Ever } effort is being made
to arrive at a point where a change can
be mad < $ with positive assurance of a suf
ficient and uniform s > uppl } of some jacket
metal to be made In this country.

event is calling to residents of the Willa
mette vallev the sensational scries of oc
currences which separated the couple eleven
jears ago At that time Saunders and Charles
Campbell were suitors for the hand of Min
nie Allison and her sister Mattle Camp
bell was a good-natured , but somewhat dis
sipated } ouug man Because of some trifling
quarrel Miss Mattie took It Into her head
that Campbell ought lo be disciplined , and
she appealed to her sister's fiance , Captain
Saunders , to undertake the task Saunders
was editor of a Corvallls paper hot-headed
and Inclined to be boastful of his physical
prowess , which was considerable Campbell
and Saunders were each over six feet tall ,
athletic sinew } and courageous , and It
ma } be that the Corvallls editor thought he
might meet more tliari-'bis match in the
Albany } oung blood. However that ma } be ,
he armed himself with a pistol and went
with Mattle Allison to see her lover Miss
Allison had sent } oung Campbell a note
asking him to meet her at night near the
county courthouse but she gave him no in
timation that Saunders would accompany
her. Campbell was promptl } on hand at
the to sting place ; so were Saunders and
the joung woman Just-what was said will
never be knovvn. but wjiat was done is a
matter of hlstor } A quarrel qnsued between
the two young'men and the Corvallls } outh
shot the A'ban } lover through the body
Campbell died before morning Saundcrs
and Miss Allison were arrested for mur
der and excitement ran very high It was
feared that there might be a Unchlng and
the woman was afterward removed to Salem
for safe keeping
Saunders v.as tried , and. though he
claimed that he shot Campbell In self-de
fense he was convicted and sentenced to
be hanged But Saunders on the night of
the Fourth of Jul } , 1SS7 , with another pris
oner , broke jail The } no doubt had out
side assistance , for the } secured weapons
ammunition and provisions and struck out
for the Coast range mountains The entire
Country was aroused in their pursuit and
It was expected that Saunders would not
be captured If he were alive for he was
known to be desperate The feat was how
ever accomplished by D B Montelth of
Albany and F P Hogan. then of Hoseburg
both determined men The } surprised Saun
ders as he was walking along a trail near
Alsea got the drop on him and he was
forced to accept the alternative of surrender
or death He surrendered Saunders was
returned to jail and on a second trial he
was convicted of murder in the second de
gree which involves a sentence to the pen-
Itentlar } for life Saunders was a model
prisoner He was exceeding ! } useful to the
authorities in a variety of was being an
especiall } fine penman He acquired some
knowledge of medicine and served as hospital
steward for a long time Saundcrs falrl }

complied with the exact requirements of the
law The } will be returned to the associa

mus' be perfected , or the associations will
rot be allowed to continue business after
September 4. The errors that have been
made. In the relncorporations are general ! )
technical , but some of the associations ma }
not be able to comply with the new law at
all and will have to bo cntlrel } reorganized

TheS > llior KliiHH rrcimrliiK to Put
I p the Campaign Stuff.
A correspondent of the Chicago Post wires
from Washington that the managers of
Boan's campaign are already out for the
stuff While the candidate Is talking about
money they propose making money talk.
Thej are already negotiating with the sliver
mine owners for a huge campaign fund , with
ev ery prospect of success
"For three das , " sas the correspondent.
Brytn's agents or rather the agents of Sena
tor Jones and his national committee , have
been at work in New York and in Denver.
These gentlemen have powers of attorney that
entitle them to represent the Bran out
fit and make such deals aud bargains as
ma } be necebsar } and expedient The silver
miners wanted Teller and pledged them-elves
to put up $3 000,000 for his election With
Teller's failure to secure the Chicago nomi
nation they pulled into their shells and
waited for the representatives of the success
ful candidate to open negotiations The } did
not have to wait long. It is probable the
$5000000 will be forthcoming after all. but
the contributors will exact a hard bargain
Teller is to have the treasur } portfolio , with
powers plenipotentiary , and the silver miners
are to have absolute control of the national
finances Bo an will be their figure-head and
dummy
Tree coinage of sliver means a profit of
over J30.000 000 a } ear to the silver miners of' '
the United States on a basis of last } car's
production of 55,000,000 fine ounces of silver
These 05,000,000 ounces had a coinage value
of approximately $70000000 and a commer
cial bullion value of less than f-10.000003 The
1S9C output will approximate CO 000,000
ounces The miners can well afford there
fore , to gamble $5.000,000 on the election
of Bran and a free coinage congress , for
that amount , large as It Is , would bo less
than 20 per cent of a year's profit based on
the production during twelve months of
silver's greatest depression They would
get their money back In ten weeks.

The session of the } 'rus lan Diet , which
has just ended after five months of talking
was almost barren of results Apart from
the budget and the supplemental estimates ,
the only measures to receive the assent of
the HOUSP were bills providing for the con
struction of adddltional rallwas In rural
districts , for an Increase In the capital of
a state-Lreillt establishment knov\n as the
Central G ° no < ! stnt-chi > ftska e. for the con

has Its own reasons for combating an }

If reports from the Soudan are to be

ha\e lost something of their earlier en
thusiasm under the pressure of a leader
ship which has no redeeming qualities and
which combines the worst cruelties with
the worst vices of oriental depotlsm The
country has been laid waste nnd the in
habitants oppressed to a degree , far ex
ceeding that of the old Egptlan misrule
which led the people to welcome the mahdl

scarce , and resistance would be far lets

the other hand , the Kgptlan forces , drilled

their abillt } to meet and master the der

The German Reichstag has finally adopted
the civil code for the government of the
whole German empire , over which three
commissions of Jurists have been laboring
for nearly thirty } ears past and thus com
pleted a task which In importance surpasses
any since the code of Napoleon was imposed
on western Europe during the flourishing
period of the great Trench emperor Such
an extraordinarv work Is worthy of inoie
than passing notice for the legal confusion
which prevailed in Germany up to the time
this new code was adopted almost surpasses
modern belief Roman law , as Imported
into Germany before the birth of Luther
ruled over a large area ; the Rhlnelanders
were subject to the French code of I < i01
while Prussia's common law dated from
1794 In addition to this , there were thirt }
or more minor provincial codes with endless
contlictions. especial ! } In matters of In
heritance and marriage All have now
been straightened out. and the whole Ger
man empire will now be ruled b } the one
common , fundamental law. Just , reasonable
and equitable. The adoption marks an era
In the hlstor } of jurisprudence as it does
in the progress and enlightenment of the
Germans.

The projectors of the Paris exposition of
1900 will undertake to provide the funds for
that great enterprise b } a device which Is
characteristic of French Ingenutt } . The
plan Is described as tplcally Parisian
Bonds of the demonlatlon of 20 francs
each , to the amount of C3.000.000 francs
( $13,000.000) ) are to be issued In a few weeks ,
and there is ever } assurance that the en
tire sum will be taken The bonds do not
bear interest , nor will the principal ever be
paid. In fact the scheme of finance Is a
lottery , pure and simple in which , in ad
dition to receiving twent } tickets of ad
mission to the exposition , ever } holder of
a bond will have a chance at prizes , which
are to be awarded in a series of twenty-nine
lottery di aw Ings. The plan of the Paris
exposition managers is based upon an ad
vance sale of 65,000000 tickets of admission
which would probabl } exceed the number
of Trench visitors to the exposition Hut
as attractive as the show will doubtless
be , the average Frenchman would hardly
be disposed to buy his admission tickets four
} ears before the gates are thrown open to
the public , unless he was offered other
Inducements of a moro substantial nature
than an appeal to his patriotism The sug
gestion of cash prizes ranging from 100,000
francs to 100 franca , has been sufficient to
arouse tba necessary enthusiasm , and now
the financing of the Paris exposition will it
Is believed , be accomplished without dlf
flculty ,
