From Our Regular Orresponaent. . ' Washington, D. CY; Aug. 7, .'96. : Senator Jones, Chairman of the Democratic National . Committee, found himselt - called upon very early in the game to pay the penalty of promineneo in n National cam paign. In addition to having been maliciously lied ; about ; and mis quoted, he has bec"n directly attacked and charged with mismanaging the i atnpaign. .' It isn't Senator. Jones that these people are after iirjuring, hut t ryan and Sewall, whose pros pects arc looking entirely too bright to please their enemies. As to th misquotation of his interview con cerning Southern Populists, Senator J nes said, before going to New- York, where he will probably re main until after the National Com mittee meeting and the big Bryan and Scwall notification meeting, next week ! lI did ro' say that Mr Bryan would not accept the Populist nomination, for I have no authority to say that I did not sny that as a general rule the Southern Populists were not a creditable class. On the contrary. I said that most of them were patriotic men who were work ing for a cause; that they were Populists because they had believed they could promote their cause 1 test through a new arty ; and that now they would support Bryan, because it was shown that 'their patriotic ob jects could be attained only through his election. That is. what I said of the Southern Populists as a rule. As an exception I spoke of the class who wero not-creditable. I said there. were some who were Populists merely for their personal advance ment J some who had become Popu lists through selfi.di, and not patriotic motives. I spoke of, these realizing the prediction made when Bryan was nominated.' It also in creased the difficulty of ToinWatson putting up a claim for . Democratic recognition "which "will receive any attention. Thq South will be prac tically solid for Bryan and Sewall, although Maryland, may, bo lost on account of the monied and corpo rate influences of Baltimore being thrown for McKinloy and the 'gold' standard. ,BTjTiiEit ron FUSION.

I said that as a rule the Populists in the South would follow the patriotic course and support Bryan; that there were some who, for selfish motives, would not do so, but would prefer to have McKinley elbited." The charge of. mismanagement against Senator Jones falls of its own wcigiit, lor ine very good reason that there has been practi cally nothing to manage and will not be untii the meeting of' the National Committee in New York City on t.ic . lltlr inst., . when the membership 'of the Executive Com inittco will be - announced and the general plan of the campaign mapped out and adopted. This charge, was accompanied by a demand that Senator Gorman's BerytccTte requi sitioned. That really explains one of . the niaiiP objects of-those who made tho charge to upset the ex tremely cordial relations existing bet wet 11 Senators Jones and Gor man, thus 'depriving the National Committee of the advice which Mr. Gorman has promised to give during the campaign in lieu of accepting the chairmanship of the Executive Committee which was offered him. The gold Democrats of New York may be quite the patriots they claim to be, but since it became known in Washington that they tried to make deal with Mark I anna to i a4 their votis for the McKinley elec toral ticket in exchange for Repub lican ' votes K tho New York Legislature fur ono of their number as senator to succeed David B.

No in telligent, jiatriotic votor, no true American citizsn, can by his action or inaction, be responsible, directly or indireijly, for such a threatened calamity.

What a humiliating and sicken ing spectacle it would be should the folly of personal ambition and the demon of party spirit step into, con fuse and divide the-allied majority and deliver our icoplo into the hands of the enemies of Republican institutions. But this xannot, this will not happen. The American people ore not now in any humor to lie trifled with. They realize the caue of our evils. They fully ap preciate the threatened danger. They will this year drive the British money changers and their American tory allies from the' temple .of liberty and bike charge or their own affairs." , ; "It would be better for candidates and chairmen to do leo talking for the present.

If all the silver of tb world available for money were to Ihj sud denly dumped upon 'the shores of tho United States , and coined into money at the ratio of 10 to 1, it would only increase the circulation of-your, country about forty-four dollars per capita.

If all the surplus yearly product of riJvcr in the world avail able for money wero suddenly dumped upon tho shores of the United States and coined into money at the ratio of 10 to 1, it would only increase the per capita circulation aliout eighty cents yearly. 1 (9). The United States has a per capita circulatio: of ' about 9H of silver. France has a per capita cir culation of about $13 of silver. (10). Vi:h an increase of eighty cents jwr capita, yearly, it would require nearly seven years to increase our per capita to thct of Trance. nit.

"v, ' J We lielieve tho,;. tho London Financial No wb is regarded as an authority on both fides of the Atlantic, and yet it is saying strange things just now ' about the free silver movement irt this country ; . "There is a plain moral in the remark that if tho United States would venture to cut herself adrift from Europe and take outright to rilver slid 'would have all America and Asia at her back and tho com mand of the markets of both coun tries. Tho barrier of . gold would bo more' fatal than any . barrier of a custom house. The bond of Bilver would bo stronger than any Ixmd of free trade. There can be no doubt about it that if the Unitod States were to adopt a silver basis tomor row British trade would be ruined before tho year was out Every American would be protected, not only at home, but in every other market. Of course tho United States would suffer to a certain extent through having to pay her obligations abroad in gold, bnt the loss of exchange under this head would be a mere drop in the bucket as compared to tho profit to be reaped from tho markets of South America and Asia, to say nothing of Europe. The morvel is that the United Slates have not long ago seized the opportunity. It has been a piece of...luck that it has never occurretlio tho Americans to scoop us out of tho world's markets by going on a silver basis, and it might serve us, right if, irritated by the contemptible npnthy of our govern ment toward the silver problem, tlie I Americans retaliated by freezing oat gold. It could be easily done." We have heard ibis prophecy .lie fore. It has been made by more than one prominent European writer on finance. Moreton Frcwen has insisted for a long time that the United Slates was blind lo its own interests in hesitating to adopt free silver coinage and then enter into a commercial union with Asia and America. Ho has always insisted that under such arrange' ment the silver countries oftho world, while they inignt sell to Englnn 1, would do all their buying here. Prof. Ahrcnt, the great (ler-mau-ftjiMuirity, has also argued that tho United States, . if . followed hy Germany, Belgium, ami Italy as he thinks it would be, sooner or Liter could, through the medium of free; silver coinage, almost destroy England's foreign trade. He has been extensively quoted by the gold men, but chiefly as to the difficulty, in his opinion, of our .acting alone. He has-mvariably-snid that a -con cert of action among the nations named aliore would gire them control of commerce in every quar ter of tho rlobe.

Then it went through a wooden bulkhead an inch thick" into a room 25 by 42 feet, where forty men were sleeping hammocks. It killed six of thW outright and wounded six others, three of whom died, after which it passed through a steel bulkhead five inches thick and ended its course hr strikJnir a bat tery outside, in which it made a dent nearly two inches deep. It was filled with sand. Had it re- eased deadly gasses, no ono knows what damage it might have done.
