I beard to-day tne first explicit state
ment emanating from a mtn of na
tional reputation, appearing well au
thorized to speak, that the President
sought a third term of his high office.
General Wade Hampton is quoted to me
as the authority for the statement and
the story comes to me through only twd
intermediaries. . r ,
It is probable that the old general had
no idea he would get into the news
papers on this matter. : Later the report
reaches me without injunctions of any
kind, and while it is in down-right con
flict with my previous news on the sub
ject, I do not feel at liberty to discredit
it, as it comes through a respectable
channel. General Hampton further said
that the South would not persist in op
posing a third term; that the whole
party, in his judgment, would fall into
fine after. awhile, a nd the re-nomination
be- accomplished without much di fa
ulty. He appeared likewise td be
sanguine of the re-election of Mr. Cleve

St. Louis, July 22. A special to the
Chronicle from Spring .Valley, Ills.,
says that a mass meeting of the miners
in that district, which was held -in the
opera; bouse at Spring . valley this
morning, broke up in a- riot, and , as a
result nearly a dozen men are now
nursing broken beads.' The cause of
the -disturbance was the attempt to
pass a resolution binding the miners to
pay a 5 cent contribution on each ton
of coal they 'mine to their striking
brethren in Indiana to sustain them in
their fight against a reduction. The
non-English speaking class is greatly
in the majority and proclaim that they
are ready to strike on an hour's notice.
They held a meeting of their own after
tbe, regular one was oroicen up ana
fiery speeches were made In the French
and Italian . languages.,. The split, be
tween tbe conservative and radical ele
ments among the miners is now an ir
reparable breach. James O'Connor,
State president of the United Mine
Workers, and District Delegate Wat-
kins, were intimidated by the -foreign
element and left the hall under police

' lag: the Afternoon. , - . t .
. Chicago.. July - 22. Although ,:th
weather was . cool and pleasat to-day
the attendance at the Horr-Uarvey de
bate dwindled down very perceptibly
There were just person present
when Mr-Horr re-opened tae discus
sion, tor tne first time since tne t begin
ning of the debate reading frefca manu
script. ; During the nineteenth century
all the great countries -bad : adopted
gold standard, iie asserted,' but; had not
discarded silver. s uowever, one or
them . had opened :: their "minis to ihe
free coiaaee of silver. Thee he dipped
into the history of finance id France
and was still talking about it wbeH in
terrupted by tbe bell. , s -a"- - ;
Mr. Harvev said be bad nad many re
quests to-put into the record -theutter-ances
of Ingalls, Blackburn: atd others
on the subject m finance, but owing to
the limited number of words stilus dis
posal he could not promise t. do so.
However,' he would probably mention
them in his 2,500 word summary at Jbe
end of bis part, of the debate.f An at
tack-on Senator Morrill followed. p He
"was not very careful.ot".theiruiii.'" Said
MrHarvey, "wben" he stated that no
silver dollars had been coined for many
years prior ' to 1873.1 Copies! of , the
mint reports for several; years previous
to 1373 were here submitted, showing
tnat several miinons or aoiiars rn stiver
bad been coined in those periods...
j.rjNow," said tne author-or coin. "r
Senator 'Morrill could not. tell tbe: truth
in one particular, I have a , rigtvt to as
sume that he could not tell it in any,'
Mr Horr - warmly., defended Senator
Morrill. - He' said: .'. VWhen : Senator
Morril made ' the assertion - that there
had been no silver dollars coined for
many years' prior to 1873, " he did not
mean to be taken literally, He '.meant
that by comparison to the amount of
cold coined there bad been practically
none coined and that is true, Mh. Har
vey has a way I do not like of. trying to
smirch the character of everybody who
differs from him in opinion." . Mr; "Har.
vey admits that he made -one bad mis
statement In his book.' According to his
method of argument I have- a Tight te-
assume -that - he is wrofig"Iia n Gvery-Ihing.'-'r
- :f ' -
Mrr Harvey turned to the discussion
of br-metallism, taking up first that
branch of it relating to unlimited coin
age, and went into the history of the
matter among otber nattons. .
It makes no UtTerence, said. Air.
Horr, "what the history of unlimited
coinage is. it is admitted on every
hand that all nations have now closed
their mints to silver and that is the
main point." - ' . . . -
The discussion of bi-metallisnr "was
continued throughout the afternoon. -

Raleigh, July, 22. Arrangem e n ts
appeared Tor a time to have been per
fected by which the three chief systems
oi rauroaas in this btate would take to
Atlanta and exhibit at the exposition
the greater part of the grand collection
in the State museumBut ft bow ap
pears tnat this arrangement will . fall
through.- To-day it is said that the
railroads will make their own exhibits
and will not take any articles from - the
museum, .urns is greatly to be regretted.'.-
Of, coarse all the railroads together
could not make an exhibit to compare
ith the one daily .spread : before the
public eye .In the museum. ' : Two of the
reads have some exhibits and all 4 three.
it appears, are collecting.
When Umn -& Co.- began . tbe bie
movement against what they term tne
book' trusts during the session of the
Leirisiature. there wascruite a sensation.
Two attorneys and three-or rour other
persons were engaged in tbe fight." It
is said that first and - last Ginn &Co,
have expended 410,000 ?n this State.
They carried their -.point in securing
the "county adoption - of school books,
But in doing this they won w,hat seems
to be no viotory at all. s For the Legis
lature afterwards abolished the county
boards of education, which would have
had the daty -of choosing .the school
books. : Now as - an - attack -was made
upon the Democratic educational sys
tem, it is said by some well informed
people that the county commissioners,
wno have to. make the selection oi
books, will stand .by the State Super! n
tendent of Public Instruction- by select
log. tbe same ' books., too here again

both done and undone. .

One of the leaders of - the Populists
Says that the "revolt." as he terms it,
of part of the Democrats was inevitable
and that these would have gone into
the Populist ranks even if -there had
been no financial issue. : In other words
he claims that there was an element in
the party which believed a few men
considered they .were leaders by right
and insisted on having all T tbe good
things. So the rrevolt" was . as . much
against men as against measures. in
fact-moiesa, according to his view of
the case. - . -
Last night a perfect deluge of rain feu
