Journal Bubkau,
i Washington, D. C, Auh. 7tu. -
It would be interesting to know how
long the gold and the - silver managers
. expect to keep up their present meaning.
less bluffing, and wliut either sii'e expects
to pain by it.' The silver managers start-
'4 ed it by a series of newspaper interviews
speakiog in glowing terms of tbe tidal
wave growth of silver sentiment In New
England, New York, New Jersey and
i Pennsylvania, and the' gold managers
went back at them with interview claim.
ing that a great reaction was going on
against Silver, In such Slates as Colorado,
' Idulio, Utah etc., and that tliis reaction,
together with the existing sentiment in
' favor of protection, wnuld give McKioley
the electoral votes of those Slates. Now,
every nian who makes even the slightest
prcleme to keeping posted on the (liift of
: ioliticnl sentiment knows that such slate.
' meats are mere bluffs, and that tbe men
who make them U be such, and lurtlu-r,
Ihut there is little probability that silver
will get any electoral votes from the eae-
- turn States, and not much, if any, more
: that gold will get any electoral votes from
1 the extreme wet. It looks like the man.
agers on both" sides are making these
.statements for their effacl in the States
-winch they know to be doubtful, which
include a considerable pirtion ot what
,arj popularly knowa as the middle west
ern States. It is not fluttering to the in-
tejigenco f those voters who are in
- doubt on the subject to suppose that they
- are more auxioua to go with the winning
side than to bo right. Yet Ihut tupposi
tion appears to be held, by the managers
- of both the gold aud silver tickets. ' '
There was conslderablo amusement
among the politicians wl.311. the report
reached Washington that the gold Demo
crats of New Yoik had tried to make a
dicker with Mark Hanna, on the basis of
their voting for McKioley and Uobart and
Uupuaguirauleeing that tbe next New
York lcgisislaturv, if controlled by the
Hi-publicans, or a combination of Itepub-
licunsand gold Democrats, would elect a
a gold Democrat, to succeed Senator Hill.
- The relations be; ween the Dein wratic
. nrfd tbe Populist managers are somewhat
strained, owing to a number of things,
' including that unusually bigf Democratic
majority in Alabama, , Senator Jouts,
.chairman , of the Democratic Nutional
committee, tried to pour oil on the troub-
- led waters of the political partuetship by
giving out, just before ha left Washington
for New York, where he , expects to re
.main until after the Bryan and St wall
- notification meeting, which will be held
next week, a signed statement denying
the correctness of a widely published in
terview in which he was madd to f peak
very slightingly of the Southern Populists
- as a class. Senator Butler, chairman of
the Populist National committee, has not
. been lo Washington, since the meeting, of
the National convention, but -ha . is ex.
pected daily at the headquarters which
" have been established. Be Is credited with
a strong liking lor Bryan, and a desire to

- they will postpone doing so - as long a'
possible, so as to get as many Populists
committed to Bryan as they can. It is
thought that Watson has an inkling of
this plan, and that he will make some
. trouble when they start to parry It out.
Logan Carlisle, chief . clerk ol , the
Treasury department, and a Son of Seem

Washinoton, 'D. C The Falkland
Islands, off the east coast of Pategonia,
were in Vay the scene of a marine disaster
involving the loss of nearly . 'twenty
American lives, which as yet remuins
wrapifn mystery.
- Consul Miller ripoits that on the
eveuingofMay 14 news was brought to
Port Btauley that a large ship, evidently
of American build, had struck off tbe
Billy Rock, and was in danger of break
ing up.
The sea, however, was. running so
heavily that Capt. McPherson found it
impossible to'get close to the ship - He
brought her, however, near enough to
count fourteen men in the rigging, who
hailed him in English and begged him to
rescue them. The vessel was a large
wooden ship of about 1,800 tons register.
' Cnpt. McPherson put back to port for
a life boat, and returned immediately,
hut before he rescind, the ship she had
broken up, and quanties of her cargo were
fl mting lu alt directions. Capt. McPher
son and his rescue party stood by all
night in the hope of picking up survivois,
but after sixteen hoars of unwearied effort,
give up the hope otyaving life, and re
turned lo Port Stanley,
Lute in May a diver went down into the
vesfel, but was unable to ascertain its
name or hailing port. The only truces of
