CLOSING OF LIMBER MILLS.

It Is Attributed to Unsettled Fi-nancial Conditions.

EAU CLAIRE, Wis., July 31.—The re-port that all the saw mills in this citywculd be closed on Sept. 1, is erroneous.The Northwestern Lumber companyis the only one to suspend operationsThey will, in a few days, close theirPorter's Mills,Stanley, and local plantsThe reason assigned is that the lumbermarket is overstocked and that theiryards are full of lumber, for whichthey have no sale. Politicians claimthat the "close down" is for the pur-pose of making "political capital." Wil-liam Carson, president of the Va'lev

SATURDAY MORNING, AUGUST 1, 1693.

Lumber company, In conversation withyour correspondent today, said: "Mymill will continue to run until the endof the season, although the marketsare overstocked and there is a verylimited sale of lumber. What Is soldbrings a very low price, lower than everbefore." He attributes the condition ofthe market to the "unsettled financialcondition of the country." And saidthat the free silver plank was not theworst one in the Chicago platform;that the worst one was the Altgeldplank prohibiting the president of theUnited States sending troops into astate to put down mob violence and toprotect lifeand property.

DEVASTATION AT MELLETTE.

Hail Storm Caused Destruction OverWide Area.

MELLETTE,S. D., July 31.—The ter-rific storm of Wednesday night, whichswept over this region doing such greatdamage, pounded out the finest cropsin the state over an area estimated attwenty miles long and from one to fivemiles wide. It gathered first in the

I north, then gaining force and fury,swept west, first striking Mansfield,

.ten miles northwest of here. Then itj turned due south along the Chicago &

Northwestern railway, tearing up allcrops in its pathway to a point a cou-ple of miles south of Northville. There

I it turned again and rushed due east,| devastating the great Hunter-Salzeri irrigated farm, thence on over MelletteI and still on east at least to the Jimriver, actually converting into a desertwaste thousands of acres on which thatmorning stood the grandest crops ofSouth Dakota.

All the towns hit are windowless,particularly Mellette. On the north andwest sides of every building scarcelya whole pane of glass remains. Thewater deluged the interior of all thebuildings as soon as the hail broke theglass, and considerable damage tostore goods and household furnitureoccurred. The Arlington hotel lost jabout fifty window lights, the Tribuneand postofHce buildings were left with-out a whole glass in the north end, andall over the city the same state of af-fairs exists. Even the plank sidewalksshow plain and deep indentations thickall over them where the hail struck.Fully two inches of rain fell withinan hour.

Estimates of damages cannot be ac-curately learned. Neither Ashton, tenmiles south, nor Warner, twelve milesnorth, was damaged. The storm maysafely be regarded as one of the veryworst and most destructive storms of :Its class that ever touched this state, j

MILLER, S. D., July 31.—Farmers Iare greatly alarmed on account of a big irain storm which they say will ruin Imuch green cut grain in stacks. More jthan three inches of water has fallen,

!and it is still raining. The storm is; general in the central part of the state.

ing rain has been falling here sincemorning. At points south of hereheavy rains are reported. Harvestingoperations are at a standstill.

; riage a few years ago, will now preach|his funeral sermon. The various reports

as to life insurance carried by the de-ceased, are largely without foundation,probably the only policy carried beingone in the Woodmen for $2,000. The Iaccident was caused, it is generally be- jlieved here, simply by an error of judg-ment on the part of Griebler himself,he having been warned many times inthe matter.

IfHe Pleased.

PHILADELPHIA, July 31.— WilliamF. Harrity, until recently chairman ofthe Democratic tti.tio.nal committee,and for years a leader in the partycouncils, made the- announcement to-day that he has retired from activepolitics. In answer to inquiries uponthe subject, Mr. Hairity made the fol-lowing statement:

"Yes, it is true that Ihave deter-mined to withdraw from active parti-cipation in political affairs. For severalyears past Ihave been accorded someprominence in the management andleadership of the Democratic party,but Inow desire to take my place inthe ranks, except in so far as Imayhave duties to perform as the Pennsyl-vania member of the Democratic nat-ional committee. In taking this step,Iwish to express my warm appreci-ation of the personal and politicalfriendship and support which Ihaveenjoyed during- my political career. Ihave no resentment for my enemies,and nothing but gratitude for myfriends. No man ever had warmer ormore loyal and devoted friends than Ihave. These friends Istill hope to re-tain, even though Ihave withdrawnfrom actual political association withthem, and if the time shall come whenIcan serve or aid Oiem, it willbe mypleasure to respond to their calls ordemands. Ishall, '; said Mr. Harrity,"continue to take (*general interest inpolitics, and shall, always be ready togo wherever Ireasonably and consis-tently can, to profnote the success ofthe Democratic pairty; but Ishall ab-solutely refrain from any participationwhatever in mattergl that relate to partyorganization and management. Ihavegiven muGh of mjt: time, and a gooddeal of my energies to political matterssince 1882, when Ifirst began to takean active part in politics. Ihave nowconcluded, however, to take a rest frompolitics, and to demote all of my ener-gies to the practice of my professionand to my private business matters."

Mr. Harrity's declaration is under-stood by his fries®* to mean that hewill give no aUensßon to the work ofstate or county conyemtions or of stateor county commutes and that he willnot in any way cv, faavor to Influence,secure or control j»olitical nominationsor appointments of nny character what-ever. They now re ard Mr. Harrity asentirely "out of r^litics,"although theprediction is mad. by some of themthat they will nof. Ye surprised to seehirr. appe&r asraini ettftt*-politics, after a £\v years retirement,and relief "from the drudgery and de-tails of active participation in- partymanagement.

his Political career.Mr. Harrity's career in pollLies has

been most, successful. In January,1592, he wajs elected by the Democraticstate committee of Pennsylvania, torepresent that state In the Democraticnational committee, as the successorof the late W. L. Scott. On April 13,1F92, he was unanimously elected bythe Democratic state convention forthe full term as the Pennsylvaniamember of the Democratic nationalcommittee, which election was unani-mously ratified by the Pennsylvaniadelegation to the Democratic nationalconvention held at Chicago, June 21,1592. On July 21, 1892, Mr. Harrity wasunanimously elected chairman of theDemocratic national committee at ameeting held in the city of New Yorkon that day. As Democratic nationalchairman, Mr. Harrity conducted thenational campaign of 1892, which re-sulted in the election of Grover Cleve-land and A. E. Stevenson as presidentand vice presiderft of the United States.It is generally understood that becauseof his efficient services to the Demo-cratic party and his devotion to Presi-dent Cleveland d,uring the canvass forthe nomination and election to thepresidency in 1892, Mr. Harrity wouldhave been appointed a member of Mr.Cleveland's cabinet, had he not indi-cated his disinclination to accept theposition, pref^ritig to remain in theoffice of secretary of state of Pennsyl-vania until the end of his term. Mr.Harrity was a delegate at large to theDemocratic national convention of 1896,and by a unanimous vote was madechairman of the Pennsylvania delega-tion to that convention. He was alsounanimously re-elected as the Pennsyl- Ivania member of the Democratic na-tional committee. As chairman of theDemocratic national committee, he pre-sided over the deliberations of the Chi-cago convention with such signal abil-ity, impartiality and dignity that Sena-tor John W. Daniel, of Virginia, whosucceeded Mr. Harrity a*s presiding of- !ficer of the convention, paid a high !tribute to his fairness and ability.

Subsequently Senator Jones, of Ar-kansas, who. was elected as Mr. Harri-ty's successor as chairman of the Dem-ocratic national committee, offered aresolution which was unanimously andenthusiastically adopted, thanking Mr.Harrity for the admirable manner Inwhich he had presided over the con-vention. In the same convention Mr.Harrity received 21 votes for vice pres-ident. The successful part taken byMr.Harrity in the Chicago conventionwas a matter of frequent and favora-ble comment. Not only was he com-mended for the skill and ability dis-played by him in the three hours dur-ing which he presided over the conven-tion, but the nomination for the vicepresidency was witain his reach. Whilethere was no actual tender of thechairmanship of the Democratic na-tional committee to Mr. Harrity, yetit is known that enough of the freesilver members ef the committee werepersonally friendly to him to insurehis re-election as chairman, had heconsented that they should do so. Mr.Harrity replied to them and all otherswho spoke to him on the subject thathe would not accept. Mr. Harrity an-nounces emphatically that he will notresign his position as a member of thenational committe from this state.There will be practically nothing forhim to do for four years and, as a na-tional committeeraan, he is able in abroad way to continue in touch withnational politics, while escaping thedrudgery of active *

participation inparty management.

CAMPAIGN AGAINST BRYAN'SCROSS OF GOLD.

GREAT CROWD AT MADISON.

THE ELOQUENT NEBRASKAN CHAL-LENGES BRYAN TO DENY HIS

SILVER MASTERS.

DENOUNCES ALTGELD AND TILLMAN

And Beseeches His Hearers to TurnAwayFrom Suck Leaders and

Their Hollow Promises.

MADISON, Wis., July 31.—The polit-ical campaign of 1896 was auspiciouslyopened in the West today. In the pres-

I ence of 8,000 people, Senator John M.I Thurston, of Nebraska, and Clarence

S. Darrow, of Chicago, for two and ahalf hours presented the respectivesides of the currency question. Eachtalked for an hour and quarter. Sen-ator Thurston said in part:

"My Countrymen: There is a dis-turbance in the political world over thequestion of money. There have beendisturbances in the political world inyears gone by over other questions,but we are meeting a new issue today,so far as a presidential canvass is con-cerned."Iwas brought up to believe that the

promise of the man who had always| kept his word was better than that ofj the man who had always broken it.I(Applause.) Iwas brought up to be-j lieve that the promises of those men| whom Iknew had, in every great emer-

gency of the nation, stood for its honorand its glory and its dignity, were bet-ter for me—one individual—to followthan the judgment of those men whohad never represented any of the meas-ures, or any of the things, that hadresulted for the honor and the gloryand the welfare of the American peo-ple. (Applause.)"Isay to you, today, in all sincerity

and candor, believing it to be a legiti-mate argument, and knowing that it isentirely appropriate to say that if Ihad no other guide to light me onward

|in the right path of my political duty,Iit seems to me that justice and honorj to my country would be safer to turnj away from the leadership of Tillman !j and Altgeld and Waite to follow the ]Iliberty of Allison and Reed, and theIgreatest among them all, William Mc-Kinley. (Loud applause.) Ihappened tohear W. J. Bryan, four years ago, in

; the congressional campaign in my|state. Ipledge you, my countrymen,

and it is a solemn fact, that from thej beginning of that campaign to the end jIthat William J. Bryan advocated no IIother issue, made no other argument jithan that upon the tariff. Four years j| ago T heard Wm. J. Bryan say to a|great audience in my state, "Give us\ free trade and the American working-iman's wages will go up." But theyf.susrt-da.ras; h<? said, .give uk fse$ r£xaA&<*; and business will boom, but itbusted.

(Loud applause.)

PROMISES OF TODAY."The same man today comes beforeyou with a new promise. They have

Idiscarded the issue of four years agoj and they say now 'give us free silver,:and the wages of men will increase,;give us free silver and the prices ofproduct will rise, give us free silverand new avenues of employment will !

| be opened up, give us free silver and; the business of the country will boom,j My CDuntrymen, as a businees proposi-tion on which depends your welfareand mine, in view of their predictions

Iof four years ago, don't you think itj would be advisable to ask for a littleIcollateral security in aid of that

promise. (Loud applause and cheers.)"Did you ever stop to think that if

| the free coinage of silver will bringj silver bullion back to its old time price,Ithere will be none of this increase in| the price of products, none of this in-| crease in the price of labor that they

promise on the other side? Ifwe openthe mints of the United States for the

j free and unlimited coinage of silverour silver dollar on the American sideof the Mexican line will be worth justthe same as the Mexican dollar on theother side. Either we double the valueof all the money of China and Japan

Iand South America, where the silverstandard is, or else we drop our stand-ard of measure down to the level oftheirs.

"Today who has carried on this greatsilver campaign? On the 11th day ofJuly, 1896, a Democratic paper, the Chi-cago Chronicle, published this in doubleleaded type on its editorial page; Theproprietors of the big bonanzas havefound it profitable to keep a large num-ber of lecturers and other spokesmenon the road preaching to the people.

jAmong the many who have thus beenemployed, and carried on the pay-rollsof the big bonanzas for a number ofyears, is William J. Bryan, of Nebras-ka, a paid agent and spokesman for thefree silver combine. In the city ofOmaha, where William J. Bryan doeseditorial work an the Omaha World-Herald, the Omaha Bee, has made the|specific charge, editorially, time andtime again. It has never been met. Isay as an American citizen, having atheart the welfare of the people

—that a

t man posing as the advocate of thedown-trodden masses of his country-men, holding a "crown of thorns" inone hand and the bugaboo, "cross ofgold" in the other

—ewes it as a duty

to every man, woman and child in thiscountry to say whether fhat charge isfalse or whether it is true. Ido say,my countrymen, and Iknow whereofIspeak, that for three years and a half,without regard to Bryan, that there hasbeen a selected corps of orators andwriters, paid employes of the silverprodnoers, spreading their literatureover this country from one end to theother, telling the farmer that he willhave more for his wheat, telling thelaboring man that he will have morefor his work.

NEW YORK, July 31.—Tammanyhall will indorse Bryan and Sewallwithout waitng for the state conven-tion.

The executive committee was calledto order by James J. Martin. John C.Sheehan introduced the resolution in-dorsing the Chicago candidates.

"Mr. Chairman," he concluded, "itseems to me that there is no middleground. The only course left open toloyal Democrats is to stand by the Chi-cago ticket."

Great applause marked the conclu-sion of the speaker's address.

STOKE MAN A FAKE.

Moulds in Which It Was Cast Dis-covered at Argryle.

Special to the Globe.CROOKSTON, Minn., July 31.—The petrified

man which has interested people of this city,Fargo, Grand Forks and Winnipeg so muchof late, proves to be a fake. Today AgentHarris, of the Great Northern at Argyle, be-

'came curious as to the contents of a box iwhich has been In his freight house for sev-eral months without any address marks, andopened It. It proved to contain the plastermoulds In which the stone man was casttogether with tools with which the work wasdone. Argyle is the nearest station to thefarm of McPherson, the Mlnto miller, uponwhich the body was discovered. It is b%wlieved that he had It manufactured at MooT^head, from which place it was origlnaWjshipped and buried where fourtd. After It wasbrought to Crookston and sold, McPhersonappeared and laid claim to it. The litigationwhich has resulted has been a splendid ad-vertisement, and but for the discovery ofthe moulds the exhibition would continue tobe what it has already been, highly remuner-ative. It is at Brandon at present. TheLeCount brothers, of Medicine Lake whoclaimed the body as that of their father aCanadian voyageur, gave up the effort to se- Icure it after their failure In Winnipeg, andreturned a week ago.

AND MAYOR DORAV AXD JOHXCOPELAXD ARK LIKIiLVTO

HAVE TROUBLE.

PI'GXACIOL'S TO THE VERY LAST.

The City's Chief Executive Will >otListen to Any Proposition*

for Compromise.

R. L. Gorman, J. c. Quinby WaiBanbolzer and Robt. n. Hare, consti-tuting the present beard of publicworks, have gone as far as public-spir-ited men could go in an endeavor tohave wisdom and care of the public in-terests prevail over what many goodlawyers say is, at least, an unwiselaw, of very doubtful legality.

Allof their efforts to provide againstinterminable trouble and litigation inthe future have been rejected, curtlyif not scornfully. Mayor Doran haspersistently refused to listen to anyproposition for conciliation or com-promise. Ex-Aid. John Copeland willthis morning be given his commissionand willattempt to take possession ofthe newly-created commissionershipof public works. That he will takepossession by force, ifnecessary, everyperson in authority about the city hallseems to expect.

At closing time last evening the fourmembers of the board and several rfthe clerks were present. Rumors hadbeen circulating all day that the boardwould very likely remain in the officeall night, in order to hold possession.They did not do so, however, and areevidently prepared to accept the lawand allow the supreme court to finallysolve the present deplorable tangle.While they offered to serve for the ben^efit of the city, without pay if neces-sary, until a decision is reached, theyexpress the belief that they willin theend be reinstated and receive pay forall the time they may be forcibly de-nied possession of the office.

Judging from the interest manifested:yesterday, there willbe a large gather*ing of people present at 9 o'clock thismorning to see what was commonlyreferred to as "the firing of the boardof public works." The fun is expectedto begin at 9 o'clock. At that hour MrCopeland, who will have his commls-!L°n £andy- will appear at the office otthe board and demand possession byvirtue of appointment at the hands ofMayor Doran, "according to law." Thathe will be formally refused possessionIs sure, and President Gorman or At-torney Jared How will probably statein legal form the grounds for refusal.Then Chief of Police Goss will very,likely get into the game, with severalpolice officers, and more or less gentlye&e»rt.the four mein^-is ->..a.i(loutside. What further steps will betaken no one seemed to know. It is ex-pected, though, that CommissionedCopeland will allow the present clerksto hold their places temporarily inorder to keep the office running assmoothly as possible.

Messrs. Eller & How, attorneys forthe present members of the board ofpublic works, have for several daygbeen in consultation with Aid. JamesE. Markham, who is acting as thelegal adviser of Mayor Doran in thematter. On behalf of the existing board,a proposition was made that the newcommissioner take joint possession ofthe office as it stands, with the oldbeard. All hearings would be heldjointly, but the commissioner and theboard would reach conclusions and actindependently of each other. Thus allwork necessary would be done in a legalmanner, whichever way the supremecourt may decide. If this propositionhad been accepted, the proceedings incourt would be on a writ of quo war-ranto, and Eller &How agree to try tohave the case decided at the earliestmoment possible after the supremecourt meets in October. But furtherthan this, the members of the board,and the present force of clerks, werewillingto agree to go ahead with theirduties and Derform their work aa»

usual, on the distinct underscandingthat ifthe supreme court holds ttie lawto be constitutional they should notreceive any pay fcr the time interven-ingbetween this day and the time whenthe court's decision is rendered.

Mayor Doran would not agree to en-ter into any arrangement whatever, ofan amicable nature. It is understoodthat Mr. Markham regarded the propo-sition of Eller & How with favor. Thechief executive, however, has seeming-ly determined to listen to nothing lessthan unconditional surrender on thepart of the board.

Jared How was seen last evening bya Globe reporter, and, in addition toconfirming the proposition outlinedabove, he stated some of the groundson which the proposed change is to becontested. "We believe the law is fair-ly open to the objection of unconsti-tutionally," said Mr. How. "It doesnot specifically name the flbard of pub-lic works of the city of St. Paul, whichit was aimed to abolish. It does notprovide that any certain person shallhave the care and overseeing of thestreet lighting of the city; and if forno other purpose than seeing to thisdecidedly important matter, represent-ing an expenditure of over $100,000 ayear, the present board must continueto hold office. All of the contracts atpresent existing, and covering the ex-penditure of large sums of money, con-tain a clause that the board of publicworks shall approve the work and es-timates before the contractors candraw any money. The contracts madewith the companies which have laidthe asphalt pavements InSt. Paul, pro-vide that at the end of ten years theboard of public works shall finally ac-cept the work, if satisfied that all theterms of the contract have been ful-filßd, and that the money now heldback shall then be paid over. Thesecontractors are not likely to agree toaccept the decision of one man, ifagainst them, when they made a can-tract the final steps in which were tobe taken by a board composed of fourmen. Besides, If this proposed actionIs carried out, nobody willpay any as-sessment into the city until the matterhas been settled by the court. Therewould be no possibility of securing thereturn of any moneys paid. Ifit weredecided that the operation of the com-missioner of public works was Illegal."
