It has been said that he has not only been converted to the populist theories , but was actively pro mulgating their fallacies on the stump. A letter from Mr Clayton , who has been In Chicago for pome time , most emphatically contradicts all of these stories Mr. Clayton casually remarks that he Is now a better re publican than ever , and that he Is devoting all of his time to the teaching of sound re publican principles. He Is under contract with Chairman Hanna to deliver campaign speeches until election day. His district UPS east as far as Indiana and he will proba bly go as far as Now Jersey. His speeches In this part of the district will consume his time until October 1 , The remainder of the campaign will be confined to Iowa.

While she was here Shaw moved to Arkansas and sent her word that as soon as he got settled ho would semi for her. After several months she tried to locate him and found that he had gone to Ames , la.

President Clcvc land has officially Indicated that LI Hun Chang will bo the guest of the nation dur Ing his forthcoming visit to this countr and General Uuggles , stationed at Governor' Island , has been designated to take chars of the details of the reception , The Chines minister returned from New York toda after seeing General HiiKRlcs and ex-Sccrc tary John W. Foster. The Chinese nuthorl ties , recognizing that LI Hung Chang Is guest , are lethe to make any suggestion as to his reception , preferring to leave nl details with the American ofllclals. Thus fa It Is settled only that the president's re ception of LI will occur at New York. A n result , there Is some doubt whether th Chinese ambassador will visit Washington at all. The proposed visit of LI to Dostoi has been abandoned also , the present plat being to extend the stay In New York be cause of the president's presence there am tn shorten It elsewhere.
