Had to Flee the Country.
New York, Aug 7. Miss Cecilia
Char'ea, who S3V3 she went to Cuba sev
eral m mtlis ago for the purpose of ob
taining material for a book, was a pas
senger by tho Ward line steamship City
of Washington, which arrived f.-om Ha
vana Wednesday, anil whose passengers
were sent to HofTman island for icvestl
gat ion.
3lis3 Charles say? that after traveling
thr nh the island, a newspaper corres
pondent warned her that her liberty and
possibly her life was in danger. She
acted upon the warning as soon aa it
was received, and, going to her hotel,
made preparations for leaving the city.
Before vhe could do so the honse was
anrroondrd by Spaniards. Becoming
then thoroughly alarmed, and fearing
very riioment that she would be hnr-
lied to prison, the decided to evade ar
rest by disgnise. She arrayed herself in
boys' tlothas, tucked her hair nnJer an
old s'raw hat, soiled her face and bands,
and unobserved stole out by a back door
and made l:er way to the city. The
Ward "line steamship City of Washington
wsj at anchor in the harbor and making
rradv to get under wav. Miss Charles
hired a small rowboat and went along
side Tho gangway ladders had been
taZen in, but a rope ladder was trailing
Uotot the tide, and she succeeded in get
ting oa board.
she "stowed away," she said, and did
cut make her presence known until the
ship was clear cf the harbor. Then she
revealed her identity, paid her passage,
sad was given a stateroom and a stew
ardess fitted her out with female garb.
"Hill Is AH Right."
Wasihxgtox. Aug. 7. Chairman
Jcaes was back at democratic head
quarters today. He said concerning his
visit to Senator Hill, that there was no
authority for tLe statement that Hill
had declared himself on the political sit'
cation. On the contrary, Jones savs.
Hill is a man who keeps his own conn
sets ana, use others in -ew iors, is
probably awaiting the action of the state
convention iaNSept jmber. When asked
regarding the remark attributed to him,
that "Hill is all right," Jones said he
had stated from time lo time that ho bad
no doubt that Hill would be all right,
but there was no reason for giving any
significance to this opinion in connection
with the meeting in Xew York.
Gold, the Rich Man's Money.
The free silverites continually remind
us that '"gold is the rich man's money
and that silver is the poor man's money."
It it ever so. And it the populists or
free silver 10 to 1 men get control of the
government, the poor man will get noth
ing bat siiver, worth not more than
cents on the ttoitar, whereas it is now
worth 100 cents ; and the tich man's
go d dollar will be worth $1.30. So if
yen, want this state oi affairs to exist
just go and vote for Bryan, the popocrat
candidate for president.
Trouble in Spain.
Madrid, Aug. C. Trouble of a serious
nature is being fomented in Spain, par
tici'arly in the province of Valencia, by
agents of the Cuban insurgents. The
mini't.-r cf the in'erior, Senor Cosgayon
yesterday replying to a question in the
chaail er of deputies admitted that riots
had occurrid in Valencia, caused by the
friends t f tho Cuban insurgents, who
hoped thereby to prevent the departure
cf le'nforcetnents of.trcops for Cuba.
Hitherto tho popular demonstrations
have been attributed to protests against
imposing new taxes, made necessary b
th financial strain the government has
been subjected to, through carrying on
ti e eampnig.i against the. insurgents in
Cab., tnU while the government is only
willing to admit that the riots have bec
instigated by tho agents of tho Cuban
H volcti.n.ists, it is generally admitted
tint th root of tho trouble is much
deeper and that it is being nourished bi
ll natnral feeling of alarm and dismayat
the apparent utter inability uf the gov
ernment

Held Up by Robbers.
Sa.v Francisco, Aug. C. James A.
Campbell, a Honolulu millionaire, who
disappeared last Monday, returned last
night with a bullet-hole through his hat
and an exciting tale about an adventure
with robbers. Campbell says that wbilo
he was drinking in a privato room in a
saloon he was confronted by two masked
men, who demanded money. The mil
lionaire refuged the demand, and in the
fight that followed a ballet went through
hi3 hat. Campbell says he was robbed
and kept a prisoner for two days. AVhen
released last night he was given a nickel
for car fare.
Kansas Populists.
UcTcinssox, Kan., Ang. 6. Just after
the adjournment ot the convention this
morning a telegram was receiyed by F.
Murphy from J. G. Johnson, stating
that the populist conference committee
agreed reporting in favor of the fall in
dorsement of the democratic electors,
and that this report be made to the pop
ulist convention later in the day.
Telegrams were ordered sent to the
populist convention in Texas, Georgia,
Nebraska and Alabama, informing them
of the indorsement of Bryan and Wat-
on. Judge Frank Dosler was nomina
ted for chief justice.
Sound-Money Democrats.
Sr. Louis, Aug G. A meeting called
by the goId-3tandard democratic execu
tive committee to form a gold-standard
club in St. Louis was held last night at
Chatsworth hall. More' than 200 promi
nent democrats were present and several
made addresses. Among those who
poke were, ex-Minister to Switzerland,
Broadhead and Fred T. Lehman, who
denounced the free-siiyer movement.
A club was organized with a member
ship of 200, and Kolla Wells as president.
An address wa3 issued declaring that
"the highest duty of patriotism and par
tisanship in this campaign is to defeat
the Chicago ticket and platform. Its
success means disaster to the country
and the overthrow of the genuine de-
mccracv."
The School Fund.
A nomber of soits were commenced
Friday in the circuit court, at Pendleton,
by Governor W. P. Lord, of board of
commtssiorrers for the sale of school and
university lands and for the investment
of the funds arising therefrom to recover
different sums of money due on promis
sory notes, which were received in con-
ideration of sales against the following
persons: J. K. loner and wite, to re
cover $2500 in addition to interest, costs
of action and attorney fees; Jeremiah
Barnhart, ?2500; J. M. Bentley, $2000;
Jacob Frazicr, $3030; B. F. Railey $S0O;
Samuel Johnson, flOOj; G. L. Ward,
$1000; W. Fitzgerald, $500; W. X. Rope,
$1000.
The above information is only a ray of
light on a vast subject of interest to the
people of this state.
The irreducible school fund is now
loaned out bv tbe state on real estate.
Many of these Ioan3 were made when
lands were high and money was cheaper
th3n it ia now. As the value of money
is measured by the amount of products
t takes to exchange for it, and as the
purchasing power of products has been
contracted, the owners oi these lands
cannot pay the interest and will now lose
their lands. The state has several mil
lions loaned out in this way.
The state will not only lose its interest
on the school funds, but will be at the
expense of foreclosing and will also have
to pay the taxes that have accrued. A
thorough investigation of tbe condition
of the irreducible school fund would show
it to be in a deplorable condition. Not
mn:h revenue for public education will
bo derived from a large amount of tbe
loans.
What's the Matter With Pewter?
Silver or sound money standard?
Not much 1 It is tho metal of tho
bald-headed old robber capitalists who
have mo-.e sveat-shop mines and moro
millions in bonds than they can count.
Give the poor man a show.
Pewter ia tbe standard for the poor
man.
So long as we are out to soak Wall
street and men with dust, let us be im
partial and allow every man who baa
untold millions to join thb lodge and
look at the guillotine. Soak the bo
nanza kincs, tool Dpwn with silver!
After it gets a cinch, it, too, will be used
to oppress the reople as has gold. Look
at the wages in silver countries. Seo
how thu robber barons plunder the peo
ple there ! The people want the pewter
standard.
After the pewter standard has been in
office for a season, and after men with
unholy wealth, got by working, havo be
gun to oppress the poor man by getting
all the pewter into their hands, the
thing to do will be to change to the mud
standard . Worcester Telegratr.

coast of China caused an overflow and
consequent destruction of -1000 inhab

coast of Japan a few days previous.
