Clay, of Georgia, a Democrat, ia quoted
in tho midsummer political gossip hero

would bo an anti-expansion Republican
ticket in the field for the presidency next
year. According to the gossip, the now
ticket is to bu called the "Continental
Itupublieun," and though it is not be
lieved that it will be possible to get
former Speaker Iteed's consent to head
thu ticket, ho 1b counted on as one of its
most efTeutlvo supporters.
Former Secretary of the Treasury
George S. Boutwell, of Massachusetts,
who is high in the councils of the Anti-
Ivxpnusioniuta, la talked of as the
Continental Republican candidate for
the presidency and it is said that the
anti-i'xpaiiHioniets, with him nt the head
of the ticket, would expect to prevent
tho regular Republican ticket from
carrying any of the New England states.

Salem, Aug. 15. The spell of bad
weather which began Sunday could not
have come at a worse time. This is the
opinion of grain and hopgrowers. All
threshing, which began last week, has
come to a standstill, while nearly all the
fall grain in the county is in the shock.
It will taKo several days of sunshine to
dry the grain so that threshing can be
resumed. The rain has as yet caused no
particular damage to hops, but if it con
tinues any length of time, the crop will
be seriously damaged. Hoppicking will
begin about the middle of September,
about two weeLB later than last yeor.
Many bales of this year's hops have been
contracted for at 10 cents. It is expected,
however, that growers will realize a far
better price. The local quotation on
wheat is -IS cents per bushel.

New Yokk, Aug. 10. A dispatch to
the Herald from San Juan save: Com
munication with the distressed districts
is still only partly open. Arecibo was
devastated by the hurricane and later
was flooded by the Arecibo and Manatee
rivers. Two hundred bodies have al
ready been recovered, and hundreds
more are missing. It it thought they
were swept into the sea.
The town was inundated to a depth of
six feet. After the water subsided the
dead were found lying everywhere. The
bodies were buried on the epots where
they were found. The town is rapidly
filling up with starving personE from the
country." Only four Boldiers were
drowned, but all are without shelter.
Captain McCain b and his men did vali
ant eervice in saving life. Forty persons
were rescued from floating wreckage. A
tbousond head of cattle were lott there.
At Naranzito twenty persons are
known to have been killed. A thousand
are homeless and starving. Moravia is
totally destroyed. At Ciales twenty
persons were killed. Many are missing
at Barcelonita. Seven residents were
killed. At Cayey the death roll is at
least ninety. It is impossible to estimate
the loss of life and property in the
country districts. Every river is still
swollen and passage is well-nigh impos
sible. The crops are totally destroyed.
Children are dying by hundreds from
starvation and exposure.
All the people aro flocking to Bayamo
for food and shelter. A cotrier has just
arrived from Yubucoa. He saya that
the town was demolished by the storm.
Already eighty bodies have been re
covered, and it is estimated that 200
perished. Many are wounded. Medical
assistance is scarce in all parte of the is
land. What makes the present distress
greater is tho fact that a month ago all
public improvements were stopped, ow
ing to the lack of appropriations.
Thousands of persons were then thrown
out of employment, A renewal of public
work would bo a great relief. Many
planters and merchants are ruined and
cannot give employment.
General Davis says the latest reports
show the disaster to be greater than he
had anticipated and extends over the
whole island. He is doing everything
iu his power to alleviate Hie suffering,
and has every confidence in generous re
sults from bia appeals to the American
people. Where possible, the troops that
lost their shelter iu the hurricane have
been ordered to San Juan. Mayaguez
