Chief Scott offers twenty-five cents each for dogs caught on the streets without a tax check and this accounts for the big receipts at the pound.

THE NATIONAL COMMITTEE Of the Democratic Party Meets At Chicago Today. THE ILLINOIS FACTIONAL FIGHT Between Altgeld And Harrison Lit tle' Interest Taken In It By Southern Democrats. Special to The Telegram. Washington, July 20 Several well known southern democrats! mostly members of the national democratic committee, have within the past few days passed through the city to attend the meeting at Chicago of the national committee which assembles at the big auditorium today. Tnose who have passed through the city are of the opinion that the meeting will be an important one,' and that it will be har monious in spite of the factional dif ferences existing in many sections. The most important matter likely to be discussed is the abrogation of the. two-thirds rule in the national conven tlon next year. The southern dele gates are opposed to this, and many expressed the belief that the time hon ored rule would remain in force. It is said that the demand for its abroga tion is confined principally to the western members of the national com mittee. The southern and eastern mem bers are mostly opposed to it- From what could be gathered from the southern members passing through Washington the belief is that Bryan will get the delegations from nearly all, if not all, of the southern states, and that the delegates will be for the reaffirmation of the Chicago platform as the platform next year, combined with a strong condemnation of the policy of the administration in connection with the Philippine war, and a declaration against trusts. The factional fight which has cropped out in Illinois between Altgeld-Harri- son and Gahan has been somewhat discussed, but most of the southern members take but little interest in it, saying that it is merely a local fight among Illinois politicians who can fight it out to suit themselves. They do not believe it will have any effect upon the success of the Chicago meet ing about to convene. Virginia people comisg to Wash ington are of the opinion that the de cision of Governor Tyler not to take the stump during the senatorial can vass against Senator Martin, will be beneficial to him, rather than to lessen his chances for success. The governor would be open to criticism from his enemies if he abandonedhis duties as governor of the state to take the stump in a political campaign, and more so to engage in a factional contest. Both the friends of Governor Tyler, and the friends of Governor Martin say that the contest for the senate will be con ducted upon a high plane, and that as far as possible that there will be no personalities, or bitter feeling injected into the campaign. Both of the can didates have the reputation of being good campaign organizers, and a warm contest is generally looked for. Several southern people, mostly from Charleston and other points in South Carolina, were in the eity yes terday, having come over to Washing ton on their way home from Rich mond, where they went to attend the meeting of the Young People's Bap tist Union. The delegation spent the day yesterday visiting the many points of interest. They will leave for home, It is understood, today. The party were much pleased with the conven tion, and 8 ay that it was a success R. L.Timberlake, formerly of Wash ington, who has been until recently connected with the auditing depart ment of the Norfolk & Western Rail road, has been transferred to the auditing department of the Southern Railwav. and Is now stationed in this city. Hon. Claudius Dockery, of North Carolina, who is contesting for the seat of Hon. John D. Bellamy, of the 6th North Carolina district, is in the city. Mr. Dockery says that his contest is in good shape, and he expects to get the seat. Rev. J. E. Th acker, the well known divine of Alexandria, Vs., who left last week for North Carolina to spend his summer vacation, was called sud denly home to conduct the funeral services of a member of his church.

Lee Nelson, colored, was lodged in jail this morning charged with rob bing Troxler Brothers' safe of $44.33 yesterday afternoon and Cicero Coble, also colored, occupies & berth in the same hotel, on the charge of assisting in the robbery. By a nice scheme Coble, who works at the store, yester day afternoon secured the safe keys by getting the barn key which was on the ring. The safe sits in a separate room in the rear of the store and into uus room uoDie crawiea tnrouern a . window. He unlocked the drawer, re moved it entirely from the safe and handed it to Nelson, the accommodat ing 8 tore loaier-wno was standing on ; the outside. Nelson took the money home and hid it in an empty tomato can under the house, throwing the drawer away. He was pushed so closely this morning by the Messrs. Troxler and Chief of Police Scott that 1 he Admitted his guilt and took Mr. Bob Troxler and the chief tahia little tin bank where, after procuring the cash, they proceeded to handcuff him.
