CHAXL'LEH SPEAKS.
For McKlnley and Silver, or Bimet
allism. Concord; N. II.. June 30. In his news
paper, the Monitor. Senator William
K. Chandler today prints a signed ed
itorial endorsing the nomination of Mc
Klnley and advocating his election. Re
ferrlng to the financial question, the
editorial advocates opposition to the
free and unlimited rolnnKO of silver
bullion, under existing conditions, by
the I'nlted States atone, and Is more
over opposed to the sliiKle gold stand
nrd of money. I Wot Ion to the double
standard la expressed In the following
observations:
"The existing gold standard must be
preserved. If It Is so decreed, only until
It Is possible to restore n double stand
ard by International legislation. When
ever the choice comes. If It ever must
come, between permanent acquiescence
In a single gold standard and the adop
tion by the I'nlted States of a single
silver standard, the Monitor and states
man will not be found on the Bide of
gold. Such a monetary system would
everywhere tend to make the rich rich
er and the poor poorer, and will Indict
grinding poverty and Intense woe upon
the great masses of helpless mankind
all over the world."
PREPARING FOR THE CAMPAIGN.
Republicans Confident, While Demo
crats Fear the Silver Specter.
Washington, June SO. Representative
Uabcock, of Wisconsin, the chairman
of the Republican congressional cam
paign committee, has returned from the
St. Louis convention and Is setting the
machinery of his committee In motion
to elect as many republicans to the
next house of representatives ns pos
sible. The committee occupies nn ex
tensive suite of rooms In the Norman-
die Hotel.
Representative Unbcock Is very con
fident as to the result. He believes the
Republicans will have no difficulty in
electing a large majority of the mem
bers of the next house of representa
tives and that McKlnley's election Is
ossurcd beyond all doubt. He admits
that the Republeans will lose some
Votes In certain states on account of
their strong declaration nsalnst the
free and unlimited coinage of silver, but
he believes tliut, on the other hand,
they will gain very lurgely through
the accession of gold men from the
Democratic ranks. He looks for a re
shaping of political lines to some ex
tent In all the states, and believes the
republicans will profit by the changes
that will take place.

A TEN-MINTTE RESCVE.
Cape Disappointment, June 29, 1S56.
Editor Astorlan;
Dear Sir; While on a drift at 12:16
this afternoon near Peacock Spit, for
the Royal Chinook, 1 was Ave minutes
late in picking up, and caught an un
expected breaker, which completely
turned the boat over, submerging both
myself and partner, Carl Erlxon. I
munuged to gain hold of the upturned
bunt but was repeatedly washed off
among booms, net, and oars, but suc
ceeded In getting back to the boat
without very much exhaustion, while
Carl was driven about fifty feet away
from the bout and tangled In the net
without anything to buoy him save a
few corks and was becoming; exhausted
from being repeatedly washed under.
Thus while struggling with the ele
ments n shout was heard, "Hang to it
boys, we will save you." Upon looking
around, and to my happy surprise, saw
the white life boat close at hand,
manned by a brave, noble-hearted
crew. Carl was first extricated from
the net, Inhlch he was hopelessly
tnngled for self-dellverence, and my
rescue soon followed. It was not more
than ten minutes from the time we
swamped until we were secure on the
life boat. - The tide was Hooding and
In a short time all was smooth water,
driving up the north channel, where
the noble boys picked up all our drift
ing gear, net end boat, and safely land
ed everything of our outfit that was
alloat, beside performing; the act of
"good Suinarltan," took us In, stripped
our wet clothing off, put on dry flannels
and ..- us.
Too much cannot be said In common
dutlon of this life saving crew, for a
more proficient set of men could not
be mustered together. They v?re luy
Ing at anchor Just Inside of the break
ers, waiting for some work to do, and
saw my boat swamp. Hence our early
deliveinnce. Inasmuch as the nams
of this life saving crew may not be
generally known, and while thanking
botb captain and crew most cordially
for tl rit kindly treatment, I desire to
annex their names to notice:
Captain, Chas. D. Stewart; Surfmen,
G. H. Rice, J. S. Clark, D. C. Stoner,
J, L. Nulter, It. P. Scannell, C. Hunt, J.
C. Peterson. N. P. Adnmson.

Chicago, June 20. The delegates
who have arrived generally appear ad
verse to discussing the probability that
Senator Teller will cut any figure in
the Democratic convention. The sena
tor bus a number of friends among the
silver delegates who have already ar
rived and among them are some who
would not be averse to his nomination
for president They feel, however, that
the conditions are not ripe for the
springing of his name, and say It wouM
be opjxised to the Interests of both Tel
ler and the silver cause to bring him
to the front at this time, If at all.
There are also a number of Teller's
silver Republican friends and Populists
In the city w ho ate devoting themselves
more to watching the course of events
than to any active work. The Populists
who are here say openly that Teller
Is the only man the Democrats can
name that they will endorse. The sil
ver Republicans are not so pronounced.
They put the matter less pointedly by
saying that Teller is the only man
whose nomination would Insure the
western states to the Democratic tick
et. It Is not now the "purpose of the
senator's friends to have hlra placed In
nomination, as others will be. This
course they consider will be In bad
form and contrary to Teller's wishes.
Their plan Is not to make an aggres
sive campaign, but simply to be on the
ground to answer questions and to take
advantage of any opirtunlty that may
offer.
Chicago, June SO. The committee ap-
iKilnted by the Democratic bimetallic
committee to confer with the executive
committee of the national Democratic
committee will meet the gentlemen
comprising this organization at the
Palmer House tomorrow. The mem
bers of the executive committee, with
whom the silver men conferred today,
assured them that no step had been
taken looking to the selection of tem
porary officers. This had the effect of
causing the members of the bimetallic
organization to feel that possibly their
apprehensions were unfounded and to
conclude that probably there will be no
effort at snap judgment. They will,
however, make their call and present a
statement of the action of the bimetal
lic committee and ask that the com
mittee be allowed to suggest a tempo
rary presiding officer.
If this request is not granted they
will report to their full committee and
the full committee will proceed to se
lect a man for the place and prepare
for his election at the outset of the
convention In the face of a contrary
nomination by the national committee.
The silver men are very determined
upon the point of not being thwarted
In this matter and are giving their at
tention to it. They will tell the nation
al committee very' plainly that the only
w ay to avoid a clash In the convention
and for the national committee to avoid
being repudiated Is for them to accede
to the wishes of the silver men in this
matter. They assert that it will have
to be made apparent from the begin
ning that It is to be a silver convention,
and that this can be demonstrated In
no way so clearly ns In the selection of
the temporary presiding officer.
The silver men have given very little
attention to the question as to who
shall be selected to preside, but spec
ulation turns more freely to Senator
Harris, of Tennessee.
DEAD OR ALIVE.
Fiftvnlne Men Imprisoned In a Coal
Mine.
Wllkesbarre, Pa., June 30. There are
fifty-nine men, living or dead, Impris
oned in the depths of the doomed mine.
This is the official number and there'
is no reason to think it is Incorrect.
The cave-In at the Janesvllle some
years ago offers a precedent for the
officials of the. twin shaft. As long as
there is a possibility of any of the men
being alive, they feel It their duty to
continue the work of attempted rescue.
In the Janesvllle cave-In six men were
Imprisoned in the breast of the mine
for nineteen days. On the 19th day
they were reached. Five men were"
dead and one was alive. The living
man was "Big Joe," a Polander. He is
now employed as a carpenter at Hazel
ton. eH has been interviewed on the
probable fate of the nun In the Pitts
ton. He has been Interviewed on the

CREBPO'S BIO GERMAN LOAN.
Sends an Agent to Berlin to Complete i
Negotiations. !
New York. June 20. A sj.ecial cable
dispatch from Caracas, says since the
adoption of the gold standard. Presi
dent Crespo, of Venezuela, Is about to
complete negotiations for a big loan
from flerman bankers. This loan Is to
lie used In paying off the heavy rail
road debt of the republic.
President Crrspo has sent Dr. C.
Bruzual Serra, present minister of pub
lic works, of Venezuela, to Genriany to
make all final arrangements. Dr. Srra
sailed from New York on Monday for
Berlin. He arrived here from Caracas
a few days ago and has been living
at the Waldorf Hotel.
Dr. Serra's mission, as stated, is to
finish negotiations for the loan with
the hoard of dnectorr- of the DIsconti
GeseilHchaft. This loan w'll provide
sufficient money c additional!: Indem
nify the German railway crediurrs for

eighty per cent.
STEAMSHIP FARES INCREASED.
A Trip to Europe Will Cost 110 More
Than It Formerly Did.
New York, June 30. Representatives
of the continental steamship linea sail
ing between New York and ports on
the continent of Europe at a meeting
held on Monday arrived at an agree
ment increasing the first and second
cabin pasage rates by about seven per
cent after July 15. The Increase will
amount to from (5 to 110 on each pas
sage. The lines which are Included In
this agreement are the North German
Lloyd, the Hamburg-American, the
Red Star and French lines. The Brit
ish lines arrived at a similar agreement
some months ago.
The cause of the Increase, the steam
ship agents declare, is that the ac
commodations on ocean liners have
been steadily Improved, without a cor
responding Increase In price, until the
margin of profit has been absorbed.
The outgoing rate only will be in
creased on July 13. The rate from
Europe will remain as at present until
October 15. and the steerage rate will
remain unchanged.

htm upon his response to the notifica

ments are warm In their commendation

Governor McKlnley's friends have been
urging him to take a rest. The gener
ally accepted Idea is that he would ac
cept the invitation to visit with his
cousin. Colonel Osborne, at Roxbury,
near Boston. It Is supposed that CoL
Osborne is to be secretary of the na
tional Republican committee.

WADE HAMPTON'S EPITAPH
tit "Vies a Costederate Soldier" "Dixie"
Laid Still is Stite of 'Tinni" if
the Stirs sad Cars Still
floated.
Richmond, Va., June 30. In welcom
ing the Confederate veterans at the
reunion today, Gov. O'Farrell said:
"You were enlisted In those bands
who wrote their names in glory's sklea
and carved them deep In the temple ot
fame, who made the cause of the South
so Imperishable and the renown of her
armies so faultless. It was neither con
quest nor power for which you fought;
it was the defense of home and coun
try. The tights for which the founders
of this republic struck were no more
sacred to them than the rights for
which you struck were dear to yoo.
If you were rebels, so were the fathers
ot the constitutional liberty of 13) years
ago. If you fought to sever your con
nection with a union whose bonds were
galling, so did the men now immortal
ized in song and story, when they
snapped the cord of British allegiance
In 17;."
Gen. Wade Hampton was loudly call
ed for. The band struck up "Dixie.
while the whoje audience arose and ap
plauded. The veteran was passed to
the front bearing an old battle flag;
that had been shot through In many
places, and waved It before the vast
assemblage. When Gen. Hampton was
permitted to speak he said words could
not express his gratitude for the great
honor which had been done him. He
had come to mingle with the veterans
perhaps for the last time and do honnr
to the memory of that great man. Pres
ident Davis. The general said he would
still be fighting If the Confederate flag
was waving. (Great applause.) He
had no apology to make for his course.
In conclusion he said the only epi
taph he wanted written on his tomb
stone was that he was a Confederate
soldier.
