TARIFF TALK OUT WEST. Minnesota Now Claimed to Be a Doubtful State-Growing Demand for a Heduction in the Tari. Naw Yons, July 81.-Congresman W. L. Scott had not recovered from his illness enough to be present at the first meeting of the Democratic Executive Committee after its organization at the headquarters on West Twenty-ninth street today. lie sent a mnbetitute. The meeting was, of course, secret. The session lasted several hours, which were spnt in discussing the plans for the campaign. Chairman Brice presided. Speaker Carlisle and Senator Gorman were the two most prominent men present. Speaker Carlisle and Senator Kenna of West Virginia came on from Washington to represt at the Congressional Democratic Committee and to decide with the National Executive Committee on the campaign plans. Both of them were in terviewed. Speaker Carlisle said that he was glad there were no personalities in this cam paign. "It's a campaign of principles,' he said. "The issue is clear and all we have to do to win is to present the issues t< the people and have them understood. We have a great issue and a great leader. We are keeping apace with the times in states manship, while the Republicans have no advanced since 1861. I think the chancee of Democratic success have not been bette: mince the war." REPORTS FROM TiE STATES. Senator Kenna said that West Virginie will give Cleveland twice the majority i gave him in 1884, and that the Republican never have a possibility of carrying th State in a Presidential election, and Senato *orman said that Mar'land would go Dem ocratic, of course. 'ihe most interestin of the campaign reports made to the corn mittee came from the committeemen fron the Northwest. Michael Doran, of Mirn nesota; O. M. Barnes, of Michigan; J. J Richardson, of Iows, and Erskine M1 Phelps, of Illinois, made favorable report of the prospects in their States. Mr. Dora said that the passage of the Mills bill b the House of Representatives would gal thousands of votes for the Democrats i Minnesota if the Republican Senators pre vented its becoming a law. The feeling i Minnesota was strongly in favor of a re duction of the tariff. On this issue th Democrats had steadily been gaining unti from being one of the strongest Republ can States, Minnesota had become doub ful, and the last Republican candidate fc Governor barely pulled through, and a present three of the five Congressmen ar Democrats, and Knute Nelson, one of tb two Republicans, voted for the Mills bil Mr. Doran believes that Minnesota can t carried on the tariff reform issue. IT WILL HEL' THE )EMOcRAcY. Reports from Iowa, Wisconsin, Mich gan and Illinois say that the tariff reforn issue will result in Democratic gains, espi dally in Iowa, where the making of Thui aton and Estee, both railroad lawyers, tll temporary and permanent chairmen of th Republican Convention has alienated th granger vote. John C. New returned from Indians where he has been making a survey < politics, and had a conference with severs members of the Rpublican executive con mittee. Mr. New was harrassed in his tri by frequent appeals for money. The con nittee is not distributing any money a present and it will be a waste of time ft avaricious patriots to demand any mone before fall. Until then the committee wi be distributing campaign literature. Tl campaign text book, which Edward 1 McPherson is preparing in Washington will be ready soon. The Purroy Dem< cratic Association has made a contract ft a $1,000 banner, which will be the finest i the State. It will have the pictures < Cleveland, Thurman and Hill. Hill, b the way, has not yet been renominated. THE JACKSON ELECTION. An XImpartial Statement of the Fact. ( the Case. WABUJINGTON, August 8.-The minorit report of the Senate committee on th Jackson, Miss., election, where certai United States officials were charged wit aiding in suppressing the colore vote, wi presented to the Senate today. It Is sig ne by all the Democratic members of the con mittee, and makes nearly 200 pages< closely written manuscript. It disagret with the report of the majority, and finc that the colored vote was not suppresse by any organized action of the citizens, an that none of the United States officials too part in any movement looking to that en< or acted in any manner incompatible wit their dut as officers or citizens having tlf good of the community at heart. The report reviews at gieat length tlf troubles preceding the o'uction. The kil ing of Gambrell & ine Prohibition can pgn, and tue mob which followed, an hekilling of Mitchell by a colored mas named Whiteside, backed by others-thei things and the failure of M1ayor McGillt enforce the law through his colored polic and aldermen, led to meetings of the white Irrespective of party, to nominate a tick< exclusively of white men against McGil: The latter, seeing the situation, propose bletter that an ej tion by whites exch sively be held, bu ils was rejected by tLa other side, when tey proposed a primar election by the whites to select candidate This proposition was rejected by McGil but, owing to the general excitement, and possibly, or the purpose of mnanufacturnin 'political outrage"' material, the negroes de terined not to vote, and did not appear r the polls on election day. The report insists that there was n movement, and with one exception ni spec, at the meeting held in favor c 2e 't'ppression of the colored vote, excer the proposition of McGill, the candidate c the prty ith which the negroes usuall, voted. The stories of the cannon used a the polls are denounced as ur,true, ani growing out of the presence of canno: The report finds nothing to warrant th removal of the four officers, as recon mended by the majorit of the committee and says the Senators have exceeded thel authority in recommending such action, a the pwer of Impeachment would be wit) the House,* not with the Senate or the Pre sident.

Castle Garden Immigration Nuta firRepub leans to Crack--A Cloud of Tanished Po litical Locusts after Banker Morton's Sub stance-Bright Democratic Skies in the West. NEw YORK, July 10.-The Congres sional committee appointed to inquire into the conditions of immigration to this couu try settle down to business here some days since. Already developments of an extra sensational character have come to light. Passing mention has been made in these letters of the demoralizing conditions which surround the importation of pauper labor. Witness after witness at this investigation has explained to the committee how the padrone agents throughout Italy inflame the working people with gilded accounts of prosperity over here, by these fairy tales allure them from their work and bring them here to feed upon the vitals of honest American labor. Those blood spec ulators receive on an average $2.20 for each poor devil whom they succeed in landing at Castle Garden. Tho tariff is paid by the transportation companies in the shape of a 'commission." But this is not the Worst of it. Reputa ble witnesses have testified that it is a com mon practice on the other side to form so cieties for the express purpose of trans porting convicts to this country. No less a personage than the Regent of Bavaria is shown to have been actively connected in proceedings of this sort. The committee, which seems to be in dead earnest, will take testimony in this I city probably throughout the month of Au 3 gust, and then go to Boston. In the result r of their inquiries the Democratic managers - foresee a most powerful campaign docu ment. It is proposed that every citizen - workman in the close States shall have an I opportunity of seeing the results of this system which cuts down his wages-and re - duces his chances of employment by bring - lug in:o competition with him men who can s live in clover on wages which to him mean I starvation. Apart trom this phase ot the ' question, its social aspect-the Anarchistic, 1 anti-soap end of it-will be made to appeal 1 powerfully to the public conscience. 'ATRIOTS ON THE PILORIMAOE. Now Is the Inelancholly season of the year when the professional campaign shouter gets in his line work. The big parades, jollifications and general blow outs are yet a little in front of us, but the r shouter is expending his lungs in pleasura t ble anticipation of what the next few weeks ? will bring forth. Since it has become gen erally known that Boss Platt headed off his National Committee by securing first e pull at the Morton "bar'l," the "boys" have been looking as spruce and chipper as you can imagine. Rhinebeck, the splendid country seat of the banker candidate, is the especial Mecca to which those patriot pilgrims bend their footsteps. Like the locusts of Egypt, for e two weeks past they have been pouring e down upon the vine-clad preserves of the e gentleman who is understood to have un limited "boodle" to dispense for the glory of the party and the fatuous vanity of Leyi. The particularly devout are also taking d in Horkimer, the house of Warner Miller, on their route. The first requirement for p your "practical politician" is the keen scent _ for the aroma of the flesh-pots, and where t else on earth will you find so much "prac r tical politics" as here? y KEMnLE nonts UP AOAIN. One of the most singular and not the e least interesting evolution of this campaign on the Republican side is the reappearance " of a gentleman who was a conspicuous character in politics ten years ago, but sud r denly went into retirement from no fault of his own. He is none other than the celebrated apostle of "addition, division Y and silence." William HI. Kemble, whose bosship of the Republican party in Penn sylvania wound up with a sharp turn eight years ago. Newspaper readers will have little diticulty In recalling this interesting -bit of history--howv Kemble and others were convicted of bribing legislators in connection with the bills reimbursing rail V ro"d companies whose property was de e stroyed In the Pittsburg riots of '77. It was Kemble who discovered Quay and b causedl him to be appointed Collector of s State when this misfortune befell him. It was Quay, true to his instinctss, who, by -' virtue of his piosition in the Board of Par I dons, stoodi between Kemble and the peni s tentiary when every other resource failed a him. Kemble, though an enormously rich d man and still p)residlent of one of the lead d ing banks of Philadelphia, is to this dlay k debarred biy his conviction from exercising any of the functions of citizenship. It is b doubtful if he wvill succeed in his ambition e to have his disabilities removedl in time to vote for Harrison and Morton, but wvord e comes from the Quaker City that he is the power behind Quay's throne at Repubilican -headquarters, and is easily the master spirit ri of the campaign. The amount of his per n sonal contribution to the cause of " pure e politics" Is said to be very large. 0 e 060O) NEwS FRtOM TiHE oIOLDEN STATE.

Mr. .James M. Donahue, Vice President of the Democratic State Commit t tee of California told your representative that not in years has the Golden State 3 Democracy been In such excellent form. 3 He Insists that California is as certain to go f D)emocratic as Virginia. Blaine's great t popularity on account of his especial chain I pionship of the California aide of the Chi nese question, Mr. Donahue says, caused t thousands of D)emnocrats to awing Into line I for him four years ago. This clenment of strength will not only be restored to the - D)emocracy this year, hut the same reasons a which Impelled Democrats to support the Republican ticket will under precisely re ,versed condlitions transfer thousands of itc r publican votes from Harrison to Cleveland. ABOUT 'rmmE noY REAcmEn, .The Harrison about whom there is most talk here just now is not the gentleman whose name heads the Republican national ticket. Of an entirely different brood is he. Not in many years has any evangelist createdi such a stir in religious circles of wickedl Gotham. lie is known as "Hiarri son, the boy preacher, aand he probably was a boy at some period of his career, contemporaneously, one would jud(ge from lis appearance, with men about launching Into their fourth decade. lie has (lone all bumt work miracles here during the past three months as a revival ist.

Enormous crowdls have at tended his meetings andl repentant sinners have almost fought their way to the anxiouis seat. "Three thousand" is the legendi that greets those entering the John street church, which is at present the seat of war. The figures signify the number of converts, anid yet there is no visible ebbing of the tide. John street is very near Wall, and the "boy evangelist" took tip his headquarters there in order to carry the war Into the dominion of Mammon and figuratively overturn the tables of the money changers. These tough old sharks of the "Street"-man eaters, every one of them-~proved them selves a trifle too wary and headed off the danger of being ensnared by dleclning to attend the revival meetings. Multitudes thronged them, though, with no more se rious purpos thn to wa th rors of the t ,ht It was those chion that the 'bo preacher" got his recruits. Evangelist H3arrlson's methods and hh powers differ from those of all the greal leaders of his guild.

Bridgeton Excited Over the Stone Quarr Dlscoteries-Exhuming the Stone Bodie of a Man and a Great Animal Which N One Has Ever Read or Heard Of-Th State Geologist Investigating. BRIDUETON, N. J., July 31.--The grer stone skeletons which are being exhume at the quarry near Ireland's mill are cam ing a sensation in this section which hr not been equaled since the var. Each da something new is brought out, and tlh town is in a lively state of commotior awaiting the latest developments. Thei have been numerous body forms excavate from the marl beds, a belt of which cross< portions of this and Salem countIes west c Ireland's mill and running from northen to southwest, but this is the first time thi a stone formation has been found, and ti is at least eight miles from the marl veii and the village wiseacres are unable to e: plain it. The skeletons are found imbedded in tl sand or "Iron" stone common to the gra' elly strata of South Jersey, which is use for building foundations, and, although is partly formed of iron pyrites, it is con nonly known here as building ston When this stone is first dug out it Is so and crumbly, but on exposure to the air soon hardens. MEBUREMENTS O THE SKELETONS. The skeletons found were discoverc about ten feet beneath the surface of ti ground, and the animal lies upon its sit at an angle of several degrees, the back at head being nearer to the surface than ti other parts of the body. The neck is in bent position, the head being still near the top of the ground. The body of ti man was first found, occupying a space about six and a half feet, with its let doubled under. The hind quarters of tl animal, whatever it may he, were first di covered, and this portion was quite impc feet. Careful excavation resulted in cor pletely exposing the form, which is of large size. The length of the body fro the breast to the extremity of the him quarters is 8 feet; from the breast to tl top of the head is 4 feet; from the top the head to the extremity of the hind qual era is 12 feet; the height from the hind fo to the top of the back is 5 feet, while ti height of the foreparts is 4 feet. The fo foot, which has been excavated, is brokc oil at. the knee-joint and doubled up. TI hoofs are cloven. The head and nose a nearly perfect. There are protuberanc where the eyes and ears were. PHYSIcIANs MAKE EXAMINATIONs. The scene around the quarry tod3y i sembled a camp meeting. Hundreds people flocked there and the roads we lined with wagons and carriages. Pron nently interested in the skeletons are ti physicians of this city, some of whom ha left for Philadelphia to see some scientit savants and have them come down andi spect the "remains." The quarryma guard them day and night, and, with, n tive Jersey shrewdness, charge a nickel f a peep at the wonderful stone monsters. State Geologist George H. Cook sent I assistant, Frank L. Mason, of New Brur wick, to examine it today. Professor Mi son took accurate measurements of ti form, which looks like a huge beast carvi in solid stone, its outline and symmetry t. lng perfect. The head was further unco cred today, exposing an erect horn abo thirteen inches in length, extending fro the top. Three Men Try to Destroy New Jerseg Geological Wonder. (Philadelphia Times, August 2.) There was a sensational scene n'o Bridgeton before daybreak yesterday mncr lng when three strange men tried to destr< the Jersey.geological wonder. The me were surprised by Amos Penn and Frar Lovell, the discoverers of the "What-Is-It and after an exchange of shots, they we driven into the woods back of the Irelanc mill road. Ever since the two humb quarrymen struck the petrified man am the strange animal while prospecting in L loam for stone, there has been the hotte kind of envy and the pit has to be guarda day and night. The body of the man was found firn and that night was left unguarded. 2d dhaybreak the next morning the humr fossil wvas found broken into pieces. TI vandals had completely destroyed its scie: tifie value. Late that day Penn and Love struck the hoof of the wondlerful anims which they soon revealed to the ligh While one slept the other discoverer kel watch in the pit in which the animal lie ,Just after 3 o'clock yesterday mornin Lovell was taking a nap under a tree an Penn was at Arnold's pond near by gettin a can of water when he saw three me pushing their way through the thickets I the woods. Penn droppedl the can an slipped toward the pit just as the first ma nmountedl the low fence that surrounds ti excavation. A BATT"iLE wITH vANDAL,s. When Penn hailed him the man answere with thie 3hlot of a revolver, the ball whih zing through the trees. Penn returned Lh fire and the three mna (dashled back to th woods. Lovell had heard the shots and h sprang from tho ground and ran after Pen as he rushed on the men. The stranger dashed into the black shadows of tile pinel when one of them wheeled and again fired 'rho bullet whistled between Penn an Lovell, who rallied and drnove the murdei otis vandcals further Into the wots, wher they dIlsappeared in the darkness. D)aybreak soon followed, and befor breakfast people began to journey to Irc. landl's mill to see the marvelous relic of. prehistoric age. Some came on foot, but most of the pilgrims rode to the pIt. Pec pie came from all parts of the surroundin1 country in all kinds of vehicles, from a anr rey to a country ice wagon, while a ntum ber of Phiilad~elp)hianus traveled down t< Cumberland coumnty to get a peep itt thi w onder, Penn and LovelI, both very poor men were diggIng for stone, the result of thel work to be sharedl between themselves am Lawyer Walton Baker, of Bridgeton, thi owner of the land where they made theli find. Now hundreds of people are paying ten cents apiece to see the "What-is-It' and the quarrymen are piling up the she kels. They charged but a nickel until As. sistant State Geologist Nason told them the price was too how. Yesterday they raiset the tariff. Some of the coun.rymen kicked and p)roduced newspapers to show that the price of admission within the fence was nickel, but they had to give uip their dimwes CROWDS VIEw THE WONDERt. A big portion of Biridgeton's best-so clety viewed the animal and all of Cum$er. land county's geologists seemed to be there. Old n-en and young men stood uinder th( roasting sun on the brink of the pit and wrangled over their theories as to what the thing was and aow i got there Ol / erd beore th I 3 ir 5son,. a bald head b r, after "viewing the animal from a 'ts with old pair of field lasses, said it 'a d-d strange c It tr." John Steelman a bluff-lookiog schooner captain, h9d a lively argument with a lot of other old fellows. He said he thought j the animal killed the man whose body was found at its heels. Another wiseacre argued that they killed each other, amj ( still others believed that the animal was controlled by the man and that both wore buried together. Amos Penn, in a hickory e shirt, butternut trousers, a straw hat and a heavy coat of tan, delivered lectures every - five minutes. "this 'ore animal," he said, "was built on the plan of yonder ice-slide-high on e the front legs and low at the end-and was j a great feller to eat persimmons. The Lord only knows what the critter ever used that horn on the top of his head for." INBULTED BY HHOw1MEN. While Quarryman Penn was delivering one of his lectures late in the afternoon to , eight women, flive men, four barefooted boys and a dog, two New Yorkers, who looked like barkers for a sideshow, offered Lo buy the geological phenomena. When Lecturer Penn refused to sell, they de t nounced it as a "fake." When Penn found 3 out what the word "fake" meant he was indignant and started after the men, but s their carriage was well on the way to 9 Bridgeton and he gave up the chase. The e body of the animal is Impregnated with iron and getting very hard. The wonder o will be kept on exhibition until State Geol d ogist Cook examines it and people stop 'A traveling to Ireland's mill to see Cumber f land county's " What-Is-It." t t THE OLDEST LIVING DEMOCRAT. sE Patrick Collins, Aged 100, HIoper to Vote for Cleveland an d Thuruan. e tN. Y. Star, Aug. 2) The oldest Jeffersonian Democrat of the I country has been discovered by a Star re porter. Patrick Collins, of Brooklyn, ac cording to his own statement, is now 106 j years old, and, even at this advanced age, It is intelligent and active. When Mr. Collins left his native county of Monaghan, Ireland, many years ago, he came to this country as a railroad laborer. d For seven or eight years he kept to this ie work, until for a time his health gave way. le Nevertheless he persevered and succeeded d in keeping in comfortable circumstances a e family of three daughters and two sons. a A short time ago Mr. Collins was knocked r down and run over by an express wagon e in Myrtle avenue. His youngest son, >f Patrick, and his wife cared for the old a gentleman as best they could for a time, e but finally dlded that he would be much s better oft for a time with the Little Sisters r- of the Poor at 1)eKalb and Bushwick 1- avenue. a Through the courtesy of the sister in n charge the Star reporter was allowed an ( interview with Mr. Collins. No one would e suspect, from his bearing, that the old man >f carries the weight of 106 years upon his t. shoulders. lIe is active in body, and his >t mind is very clear. He suffers from deaf te ness, and that defect evidently annoys and re confuses him at times. Notwithstanding n this, however, Mr. Collins is always affa le ble, and certainly displayed great interest re in the affairs of the day. es "Yes," he said, "I can very distinctly recall, old as I am, the times of Washing ton, though I was not an American then, end I believe I revere and honor his mem e- ory, but during more recent times, when I was of an age to take a more active intereat re in the hopes and aspirations of the country, '1- Jefferson was my favorite." ie Mr. Collins Is quite a pedestrian, and eeven now takes a walk every few days. c iIe says that he will walk up to the polls in November as briskly as any of them, a and deposit a vote for Cleveland and Thur a- man. .ATTACKED BY A SHARK, a- Captain Tap~pen Has a Battle witha a Man eEaster in the Lowver Bay.

The young ladies screamedl, and Captain T1applen had all lie could do to keep the boat from b)eing cap sized. The shark followed in the wake of ir the boat with its big jaws wide open, finally a- getting so close to the boat that Captain ay Tfappen could reach it with an oar. n The Captain remained cool, although his ik companions continued screaming. WithI all of his strength lie battered the shark re over the head with the oar until the 1)100( 'a from1 the man-eater made the water crim le son. The battle was very fierce.
