Democrat* Will (Jet Tons of Material Fere I'bronch the Muils. Washington. July 7.?Attention was called the other day to the fact that RopteaoatatlVO Lloyd, of Mis? souri, had in his "leave to print" re? marks given in the Congressional Record a full list of the membership of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, of which he is the chairman, together with all the subcommittees and their duties. He also stated that it was proposed to issue a campaign book, and he en? umerated the kind of literature the book would contain, taking particu? lar pains to state that it would be made up of speeches delivered in Congress and extracts from various Government documents. This was a decided innovation and at first the motive of Mr. Lloyd was not understood, but it is now quite plain that the Democratic chairman knew exactly what he was about. ] He has fixed it so that there will be nothing In the campaign book to he Issued by the Democrats that cannot under the law and the postal regula? tions be sent free through the malls. There will, of course, be many thousands of these campaign books printed, and as ney will be In de? mand all over the United 8tates, the campaign committee will be able to save a neat sum, which would be ?pent in postage had not Represen? tative Lloyd had the foresight to fix the thing so adroitly by getting his work In through the Congressional Record. He has certainly scored one on the Republican Congressional Campaign Committee, of which Representative McKinley, of Illinois, is chairman. However, when it comes to the spending of money the Republicans are not hard pushed?at least they have not been In the past. In the last speech made by him In the Ren ate Senator Dolllver, of Iowa, rapped the Republican chairman very hard on account of his methods of run? ning a campaign, and it is under? stood that Mr. Lloyd will include the attack of the Iowa Insurgent in the Democratic campaign book.

Within twenty-four hours from the present moment, all the in? habitants of the Mombacho Ridge shall asaemble at Granada, without distinction of sex or age. "2. Persons not complying with this regulation shall be treated as revolutionists and dealt with as such." According to the view here, this order would give the Granada military regime sufficient pretext to go up In? to the Mombacho Ridge, where a spontaneous revolution recently was put down, and shoot or kill any one who refused to obey the concentra? tion edict.

Visit of "Hooslor" Senator to Sogu inore Hill Results in Promise From Strenuous One to Come to Rescue Of tlie Young "Gentleman From Indiana"?Agrees to Make But ? Oyster Bay, N. Y? July 8.?Albert J. Beveridge, United States senator from Indiana, and one of the most prominently consistent of the "pro? gressive" Republicans, came down j from Sagamore Hill this afternoon with a promise from Theodore Roosevelt to deliver a campaign speech in his fight for re-election to the senate. Mr. Beveridge departed content and simlling, but he left it for the Colonel to make announce? ment of the proposed campaign speech in the senator's behalf; and this is what Mr. Roosevelt said: "Mr. Foulke and Mr. Swift came to Sagamore Hill last night and spent the night here. They came to re? quest me to go to Indiana and speak in behalf of Senator Beveridge. I promised them I would." He added that he had agreed today to make only one speech for the sen? ator, and as far as Is now known he will make only one. The time and place for this speech have not been fixed. Those who have followed the poli? tical conferences at Oyster Bay, since Theodore Roosevelt's return, share the belief that he has been feeling his way cautiously in hi* attitude toward the administration, and the insurgents, but today's incident is considered the most important yet de? veloped. Sanator Beveridge Is mak? ing his fight for re-election as an "in? surgent." He is opposed by John W. Kern, who ran with Bryan in the last campaign. In his fight the senator Is placing himself squarely against President Taft in so far as the tariff law fig? ures. The law which the President has defended as thb best tariff meas? ure ever," is denounced without equi? vocation by the senator and the same Republican State convention which endorses Beveridge for another term virtually repudiated the law. In the Senate Beveridge fought tho bill to the last, and then voted against it. "It Is pointed out, however, that with this exception President Taft and the senator from Indiana have been pulling together as far as ad? ministration policies are concerned. There has been no break between them. The President entrusted to the senator the conduct of two admin? istration measures at the last session of Congress?the Statehood bill and the Alaska government bill. And al? though the senator worked faithfully with the "insurgent" band in the sen? ate and had a hand in the alteration of President Taft's railroad bill, he supported the administration regu? larly in the last ssesslon when the votes were taken. Sagamore Hill was fairly swarming all day with men of various potltt-jal persuasion. They came by train and by automobile. They talked politics all day long, but as they left town they were unanimously reticent when asked to tell what they knew. Cor? rectly, Oyster Bay is enveloped In an atmosphere of deep mystery. This is another occasion for Truthful James to ask plaintively: "Is our civilization a failure, and Is the Caucasian played out?"?Philadel? phia Record. CLEM SON AGRICULTURAL COL? LEGE EXAMINATIONS.

"Thirty-three," says he, "If you like. 'Twill be a cheap price to get rid of you." "Thanky, me lord," says she. "I'll only ask three. And before I've got them out maybe you'll think It's enough." "What Is the first back burden yon choose?" says he. "A back burden," says sbe. "of gold, silver, diamonds and Jewelry."

But his point of view is ex? plained in his answer to a friend of his who knew that he had an engage? ment to dine with some swells in a distant part of London and who felt that it was most impolitic for Whistler to offend them. It was growing late, and yet Whistler was painting away madly, Intently. "My dear fellow," he said to him at last "it is frightfully late, and you nave to dine with Lady Such-a-one. Don't you think you'd better stop?" "Stop?" fairly Bbrleked Whistler. "Stop, when everything is going beau? tifully? Go and stuff myself with dis? gusting food when I can point like this? Never!

Meanwhile the tanks filled with water, and the boat went down at an incline of about twenty-five degrees. After striking the bottom the water began rushing in, the switchboard was im? mersed In water, all electric lights went out, the fuses burnt away, and the boat was filled with poisonous gases, so that we experienced the greatest difficulty in breuthlng. "Under these conditions we worked our very utmost with the hand pumps to empty the main ballast tank, which. I believe, we succeeded in doing, al? though we could not read the gauges owing to darkness. No electric cur? rent was available, as 1 mentioned be? fore, and our last hope of rising to the surface lay in working the hand pumps only.

RARE WILDJEASTS. The Kadiak Bear and the Tufted Ear Rhinoceros. There are a number of beasts speci meus of which are ardently desired not only by the zoologicul gardens of the world, but by the professional me? nageries as well. Among these may be mentioned the Kadiak bear, an ex,^ tremely rare animal and one calculat? ed to make a Rocky mountain grizzly appear insignificant South America contains a prize in the form of a species of Jaguar never held in captivity. This jaguar is of tremendous size end coal black. There uro two rare birds iu the Ama? zon forests whereof no specimens have ever been brought away?the "bell bird" and the "lost soul." These names are derived from the effects produced by the cries of the birds, the former having a voice likened to that of a sli? ver bell and the latter possessing the eerie accompaniment of crooning in such a manner as to produce goose flesh on the unfortunate person who bears its song. j The naturalists will also vote an ex? pression of heartfelt thanks to the in? dividual who will fetch them from far off Burma a specimen of a rhinoceros having a biack hide and big, tufted ears.

I TOWER OF LONDON. The Picturesque Old Structure en the Bsnks of the Thsmes. The Tower of London is one of the most picturesque places In all Eng? land. It is located on the north bank of the Thames and just east of the business district of London. It occu? pies about twelve acres and is sur? rounded by a broad and shallow moat In feudal days it was one of the strongest fortresses in the country and was deemed impregnable. It is now a government storehouse and armory and, above all, one of the sights >f London. The moat, which, with ihe battle? ment and towers, makes the stone structure such a hoary antiquity, is bordered within by a lofty castellated wall. At frequent Intervals of this part of the structure there are massive flanking towers. Within this wall rises another of similar construction, but of greater height. Here are the various barracks and armories, in the center of all is the lofty keep or donjon known as the White tower. Thin was erected in the days of William the Conqueror and contains one of the most charm? ing little chapels of Norman design which have remained till the present day. The White tower was the court of the Plantagenet kings. In the north? west corner Is St Peter's chapel, now the garrison church. In another part is the jewel office, containing crown jewels of enormous value. One set which you see in the center of a case I is said alone to be worth about $15, , 000,000. j Nearby Is the horse armory, contain ; ins a truly wonderful collection of an 1 clent and mediaeval arms and armor.
