Stevenson ask-d the assistance- of a policeman who was on duty in that section of the hous- and the latter saw him safely away in his cab. After arriving; at the hotel the vice pr-sid-nt still felt the effects of his ex perience, but he was able to ito to his apartments without further assistance, and h- d.id not think it necessary to c all a physician. He was, however, finite Iaie and showed that he had been on the point of prostration. No serious re sults are anticipated. P DDI N (J IIP UK I ED P P So That the Groom Can Go Home to Vote. Milwaukee, Wis., Oct. 2S. It is not every one who would hasten a wedding in order to vote, but Itoilin H. Lane, of I ted lands. Cab, is one of those who believe in patriotism as well as matri mony, and made the one wait on the oth-r. Mr. Dane is a banker in his home town and has been married to Miss Kate A. Glynn, a teacher in the Sixteenth district school No. 2, and the author of "The Girl From Oskosh." The cause for hartenin.tr the wedding; is tlie coming election.

Ail Aruil 0Fj50,0Q0. Remarkably Thorough Organi zation of Kansas Republicans. League Club Jleiubers Number 00,000 31 en. TALK WITH MADIS0X. President of the League Clubs of Kansas. He Says Morrill Will Run Ahead of 31cKinley. President Kd H. Madison of the Re publican state league was In the city today. He said to a Journal reporter: "I have been in the campaign ever since the meeting of the league here in Tupeka last spring. Every day of my time since the first of July has been spent in the work except a few days that I was compelled to remain in my office to attend to personal business. I think that the work that the league has done and is doing in this campaign is a grand one. We have never been so thor oughly organized before in this state. There is not a township in the state or ward in the cities that there is not a Republican club organized and in working order. All of these clubs are not members of the league, but the large majority are and the member ship of the league clubs in Kansas is at the present time over 60,00.' men. The league has been working with the Re publican state central committee dur ing this campaign. In fact, one of the main objects of the organization is to keep up the organization of the party in tiie state and in every part of it all the time so tiiat each campaign will not necessitate tiie reorganization of our forces. Where league clubs are formed and officers elected and consti tution and bylaws adop.ted it serves to keep the organization together so that next year there will be an organization ready to go to work in the campaign. I have held over 7j meetings in various parts of the state since the campaign began." "What is your opinion of the situ ation "Well, I think from what I have seen that at the present time McKinley will carry tins state. Mori-ill and the state ticket will run ahead of the electoral ticket and there is no use of Ed Iattle and those fellows claiming that Leedy and the opposition state ticket will run even with their electoral ticket. They know- well enough that there are many silve-r Itepublicans, and when I say sil ver Republicans I mean a man that will vote for Bryan, but will vote for Morrill and the state ticket. I have come in contact with them in my travels over the state. I have talked with lots of Democrats who are busi ness men and who will vote for Bryan, but when it comes to the state ticket will vote for Morrill. They say that they don't want another Populist state administration and that they don't want Leedy for they consider him an unsafe man to have at the head of the state administration." "Will there be Republican losses or gains in the legislature?" "Well, that is a matter that takes quite an intimate acquaintance with affairs in each locality to determine. I think that th'-re ought to be a con siderable gain to the Republicans in the legislature from the fact that ev erywhere that I have been the Repub lican candidates are men that stanrl much stronger in their communities than the opposition candidates. This being the case throughout the state and the work that is being done being ta ken into consideration the Republican candidates ought to be stronger than the rest of the ticket and there ought to be a very considerable gain in the legisla ture. "In Ford county. my own county, Fitzgerald, the Republican candidate, will be elected without any doubt. In the southwestern piart of the state, the short grass country, the Republicans will g.-t eight out of every ten of the candidates for the legislature." "I think that McKinley will win in this state icecause we know that there has been a decided change of opinion in the last two weeks. There never was such an organization in the state as we have at the present time. Our poll has been careful and accurate and in many of the townships the political views of every man is known, what he was at breakfast, what he was at din ner and what lie was in the evening, and we are confident of wdnning this state." International Ches3 Tournament. Buda-Pesth. Oct. 2S. The fourth game of the tie match between Cha rousek and Tschigorin for the first pjrize of the International Chess Mas ters' tournament was played in this city today. Tschigorin had the move. Th- oj.ening was a two knights' de fense and Charousck was beaten after 4.1 moves. Tschigorin therefore takes first and Charousek the second prize. Century Eoad Record Broken. Buffalo, N. Y..

FEitltY WILL QUIT. XT. S. District Attorney- Decides to End Campaign Speaking. Vnited States District Attorney W. C. Perry w-ill close his gold standard cam paign at Holt.on tonight. Ex-Gov. Glick, Rankin Mason and Dr. Neely may be compensated fo! keeping out of the campaign by the fact that they are at least not reviled by their Democratic brethren in Kan sas. There are some who think that these gentlemen should have been as bold in pressing their political convictions as Mr. Perry hits his. but the greater number think of the fate of Mr. Pep perill and do not blame them. Th- believers in civil service among Democrats think that these officers have done their duty in keeping silent, but they are no less severe in denounc ing tiie national administration which has permitted -Mr. Perry to violate the rules of civil service without a protest. There is little doubt of the fact that these g-ntlenien have stood in awe of some one. They knew that whatever they did would be reported at Washing ton though they say they have never received any threats direct from any one. Some time ago the federal office hold ers received a letter from Eugene Ha gan nf the "sound money" committee, requesting a contribution. Very few of them replied to the letter, and that was an end of the matter. The total con tributions received by Mr. liagan on subscription from federal office holders will not amount to $50, and that in cludes ail the postmasters in Kansas. But it may be that the letter had the effect of closing the mouths of i the office holders even if it did not bring the money hoped tor. United States Marshal Neely was asked today whether he had ever re ceived a threatening letter or intima tion which caused him to keep out of the campaign. "No sir." he replied, "I have not been threatened by any one. It is true that 1 received a letter requesting a sub scription from Mr. Uagan but it was a very gentlemanly letter and contained no threat nor hint of a threat. I did not answer the request and I have heard no more about it. "I have not participated in the cam paign because- I believe it is the duty of federal ofliee holders to observe- the rules and not participate actively in politics. If I had cared to have taken an active part I do not believe that anything would have been said about it if I did not neglect my official work. "I have heard nothing about corecion of -any sort and as I have told you the letter from Mr. liagan was the only one I received and it could not possibly have been construed into a threat." It is strange that the only federal of ficeholder in Kansas who has had the temerity to plunge actively into politics is Mr. Peri y w ho is talking against the Demoer.atic nominees and who boldly announces that he has not received permission from Attorney General Har mon nor anyone else. Mr. Hagan said when Mr. Perry first started to making speeches in the cam paign u that he would have a copy of at least one of the speeches to giv e out. He said today that he had not received any of Mr. I'erry's -speeches and would have none to dhstriljute. It is evident that Mr. Perry's tour lias not been met with quite the enthusiasm that the "gold standard" Democracy has hoped. "Mr. Pert y has opened the national administration to criticism by his action" said a federal otiice holder today. "It seems to me that his regard for the ad ministration under which he was ap pointed would have prevented hirn from taking the step he did. I cio not know of anything which could have placed the Cleveland administration in a worse position in Kansas than the actions of Mr. Perry in this campaign. "A man has a perfect right to his views on politics but there are things which should be considered by a man in office. Mr. Perry probably took the step he did without a deep thought of how It would be regarded by the people of Kansas. Pie has led pieople to think that civil service under Cleveland is a farce of the worst kind." WILL RE PAIR WEATHER. Prophet Hicka Forecasts That Elec tion Day Will Be Bright. St. Louis. October 25. Rev.Irl B. Hicks predicts good weather for November 3. el-c tion day. The indications are that fair, pleasant weather will prevail gen erally throughout the United States, except, perhaps, in the western part. November 3 marks the beginning of a storm period, but Mr. flicks thinks that the southerly winds that gen-rally pre cede a storm will make the day an agreeable cme. By November 4 the storm will be upon us. and for the next two or three days everybody will have an opportunity to remain indoors and meditate on the result. ATW00D T0310RR0W NIGHT Another Free Silver Champion at Hamilton Hall. John II. Atwood, the eloquent free silver advocate of Leavenworth, will deliver an address at Hamilton hall tomorrow night. The Pree Silver flam beau clubs will march on Kansas ave nue before the meeting opens. William Webb Dangerously 111. William Webb, fuel foreman of the Santa Fe and one of the oldest settlers in Toptka. was stricken with apoplexy at the residence of his daughter. 62;' Madison street, yesterday afternoon. I-'rom the time of the attack until early this morning lie lay in an unconscious condition, but rallied about 6 o'clock and this afternoon is conscious and greatly improved.

Headed By Cassar Antozzi They Call on Major McKinley. UXDEI1 ANOTHER SKY Were They Born, Says the Re publican Standard Bearer, But They Keep Step LTnder the Stars and Stripes. Canton, O., Oct. 29. Nine car loads of Buffalo people reached Canton at 11:20 this morning coming via Cleve land, where they breakfasted after leaving the Buffalo boat. In the party was the Republican league club in handsome uniforms, headed by Pow ell's 65th regiment band; the Central Italian club headed by Scinta's band and a number of unorganized citizens representing the various interests of Buffalo. A drizzling rain was falling when the party arrived and the formal re ception was held in the tabernacle where J. E. Close made the introduc tory address. Mr. Cassar Antozzi spoke on behalf of the Italian club of Buffalo. Major McKinley said: "My Fellow Citizens I thank you from the bottom of my heart for the assuring messages which you bring' to me from the city of Buffalo and Erie county in the great empire state. I do not feel that we are altogether strang ers to each other for more than once it has been my pleasure and honor to meet with this club and enjoy its greetings and hospitality. I am glad to meet you here at my home, members of the Republican league of the Thirty third congressional district and I am glad as well, to greet the Republican Italian club of the city of Buffalo, born under another sky from ours, but this year keeping step to the music ot the union and marching with us under the glorious stars and stripes. I bid you all welcome to my state, my city and home; and appreciate that your coming from such a great distance and at such inconveniences means that you are deepdy and profoundly concerned about the outcome of the election which occurs next Tuesday. (Ap plause.) "The Republican party occupies this year a post of most distinguished honor and responsibility. It has been given to few parties in the history of the American republic to take the po sition thus occupied by our grand old party today standing as it does for country, sound money, public honor and the supremacy of the law and the great federal courts that have been in corruptabie in the past and have been our safeguards in every time of peril. (Cheering.) The Republican party as sumes the responsibility which has been assigned it and congratulates it self that this year, carrying the dag ot our country, carrying the standard that represents the best things in govern ment, that around such banners win rally not only Republicans but Demo crats from every section of our com mon country. "Men born beneath our flag and men bot-n beneath another rlair. men be longing heretofore to other political parties are with us this year in heart and purpose to save this nation from dishonor and repudiation. We are all interested. whatever may have been our political faith in the past we are all interested in the prosperity of our country. We have stiff .-red now for three years and a half from business depression and an absence of business confidence, and the people are only waiting this year waiting impatiently for an opportunity to overturn the pxilicy they adopted four years ago and reinaugurate that splendid and pro tective policy that sustains American labor. (Tremendous cheers.) We have had all the free trade we want in the United .States. We have not only suf fered in our occupations and employ ments, in our incomes and earnings, no matter in what profession we have been at work, but we have suffered alike in t'ne revenues and credit of the government itself. "We want to return to a policy that protects and defends American labor, the American work shop and the American market and takes into account always that the best thing for any country is that which gives work to the men of the- country and insures labor against idleness. (Cheers.) Then we want a policy that will raise enough money from the tar iffs and taxation to pay as we go (Cries of 'That's right.' 'That's the stuff,') stop debts, deficiencies and bonds in time of peace. (Great applause and cries of 'Give it to 'em.') Then, my feil-i-.v citizens, we want to continue the pr-sent splendid monetary and fin ancial system we have today, where every dollar is the equal of every other dollar, and where each is equal to P) cents in gold everywhere. (Renewed cheers.) We don't want any short dol lars. "We have tried short hours in the last three years and a half. (Tremend ous laughter and applause.) When we perform an honest day's work in t'ne shopi. in the factory, on the farm or in the great transportation companies of the country, w- want to receive in pay ment for our work a dollar that won't depreciate over night. I am glad to know that the great state of New York is aroused this y. ar as she has never been aroused b fore, to th- perils of an unsound and dishonest currency. (Applause.) I am glad to be advised that your state, the first in the sister hood of states that magnificent com monwealth, the like of which has no parallel in history t'ne world over that your state is marehing almost to a man u".d-r the banner of public honor and national integrity. "I am glad to know that party lines are almost totally effaced, for it is no loneer a question of party triumph, but it is a question -i triumph for th country, litenewed che rs.) I bid you take back with you the m -rsage that Ohio and the great west wii'. with you unite in making a victory that shall be significant for the honor of our exmntry, for the upholding of public law. for peace and tranquillity, and against every proposition that would debase or degrade the American name or the American honor." (Great cheer ing and waving of hats and helmets and flags.) J 1 31 SIMPSON'S POLL. Says McKinley Will Carry Kansas by 10,000 Majority. Chairman Jim Simpson of the Repub lican state central committee in speak ing of the final poll that has been made by the committee and which is now nearly completed and tabulated, said: "We are not giving outthe results of this poll and we will not give them out. A conservative estimate of Mc Kinley's majority is 10,000 in this state. The poll will give him more than this and is away out of sight. But if it is put at 10,000 we will be safe. We will carry everything and elect eight con gressmen." The above is all that Chairman Simpson would say of the matter. The gossip among the prominent Republi cans about the ptdl gives its result as showing the state from 4,000 to 10,000 for McKinley. This is the last poll that will be taken by the committee and every effort has been made by the committee to make a thorough and complete poll of the state. How far they have succeeded the re sult of next Tuesday alone can deter mine. Gossip around the Copeland ho tel today sometimes claims that the poll shows all the congressmen will be elected by the Republicans and some times that all the congressmen Re publican except one (either the Fifth or Sixth) and sometimes admits that the opposition will elect three con gressmen, in the Third, Fifth and Sixth districts. FOR FOPR DAYS NOW Have We Been Promised Cooler Weather, Coming Sure (P) To morrow. The fact that a "low" is camped in Kansas today is responsible for the sultry, summer-like weather. At 2 o'clock this afternoon the thermometer registered 79 degrees above. Mir. Jen nings says that the warm weather will last only as long as tonight, however, as there is a "high" in the north which will come down like a w-olf on the "low" and cause the "low" to cease existing. The "high" is scheduled to arrive to night, and in consequence the weather is scheduled to turn cold at the same time. Local rains this afternoon and to night, part cloudy tomorrow, colder to night and colder in the southeast por tion tomorrow is the prediction sent out today by the weather bureau. A heavy fall of snow is reported in New Mexico, Montana and Dakota last night. FAMINE BRINGS GLOOM. There No Prospect of Thines in India. Better Simlai, Oct. 2S. The famine outlook in India is increasing in gloominess. It is not probable now that rain will fall and the prospects are serious in the northwest and central provinces in the Punjaub. The scarcity is extending to Behar. At Bombay prices have risen heavily. Large imports of foreign grain are expected. About 30 takhs or rupees have already been given from the imperial revenues for advances of seeds, etc., and relief work in the northwest, central provinces, the Pun jaub. central India and Raputana is be ing started in addition to the irrigation works which are projected in the Pun jaub. The government will issue a detailed and final forecast of the distress in De cember. DREIBPN D IN PERIL. Bismarck's Disclosure Create Sensa tions in Berlin and Vienna. London, Oct. 28. Prince Bismarck's disclosure of the existence nf theRusso GeTman entente during the last years of his tenure of office has had a very startling and disturbing effect, both in Berlin and Vienna, to say nothing of Paris, and the eruption is regarded as imperiling the dreibund. A feeling of distrust has been aroused between the allies and doubts are ex pressed in some quarters as to whether the dreibund will be renewed in 1S97. RECENT LOCAL BETS. A Few Put Up on Kansas Avenue for McKinley Quickly Taken. For the past day or two there has been considerable Republican money offered in Kansas, but it is growing scarcer. Y'esterday morning a $100 bet even that McKinley would carry Kan sas was offered, but it was taken be fore night. In the evening another bet of the same kind was posted, but it was taken before noon today. This attitude of the Piepuhlicans had the effect of some what frightening the men who have been p.utting up money on the Bryan electoral ticket in Kansas, but today they have recovered their confidence again, and McKinley bets have not gone begging. The f.ellowing bets have been posterl without takers: $50 that McKinley will carry Michigan; $10 that Eili will be defeated for coneress in the Sixth dis trict: $20 that Bryan will not carrv Missc.uri by 3' i,f.oo: $50 that McKinley carries Indiana; $50 that McKinley will not have 3,ooo majority in Shawnee county: $10 that Bryan carries Califor nia; $50 that McKinley carrios Wiscon sin by 25.000: $50 that McKinley will carry Iowa by 20.000; $10 that Bryan carries Oregon; $50 that McKinley car ries Illinois by 40.000; $10 that Bryan carries Colorado.

SHrer Leaders to Tlirow All Their Weight On Cook County, 111., Pntil Election Day. WITH THE INTENT! OX Of Stampeding the Voters to Win. J. Bryan. Both Sides Awaiting the Re sults With. Interest. Chicago, Oct. 28. The Record (non partisan) reviews the political situation as follows: Democrats begin their attempt to stampede Chicago for William J. Bryan and the rest of the white metal nomi nees today. This has been the plan of the managers of the silver campaign from the beginning of the fight. Roth Marc A. Hanna and Senator James K. Jones are holding their breath and waiting for some development to show whether or not the plan has been suc cessful. Gov. John P. Altgeld has paved the way for Mr. Bryan's entrance into the city by the speeches he has been mak ing for the past week, and yesterday the silver leaders spent most of the time in declaring that there would be a different political complexion in Cook county after (Jet. 30, while tlxe Repub lican managers put in a good shtsre of their unoccupied moments maintaining that no cold shivers were running up and down their backbones. The Democrats will do their utmost to break down the admitted Republican lead in Chicago, while the Republicans will strain every effort to keep things level." Elver since the Chicago conven tion such Democratic authorities as "Buck" Hinrichsen and Gov. Altg-Id have taken a gloomy view of the sit uation in Chicago. They have- made ail sorts of claims for the rural districts in the state, but they ev-n have gone so far as to admit that they would lost Cook county by a small plurality. The stampede seems to be absorbing all the attention of the silver leaders and a large share of that of the ifpub licans. Both sides entered into tiie iast week of the active campaign ,vith some misgivings. The Republicans ar- oi in ly disappointed at the way thincts are going. Chairman Hanna xneeted b. -fore the last week of the campaign t receive reports that such stat-s as Ten nessee, Floriila. Alabama. Geo:-t;iu and Louisiana would be falling head ov.: heels into the Republican column. Su.-h reports, however, are not coming, and the Republican leadVrs talk atii-.jitr themselves of the "remarkable way in wiiich the free silver barrier wan standing up against, th-ir atUcks in the doubtful states." Mr. Hanna. however, sail tie was as confident as he ever had 1-e-eii of result. His colleagues say he has more "nerve" than any man they ever knevv in polities, and that no game is too large or too small for his play. They bear out these assertions by t-lling how he went after the Georgia el-otoral vote yesterdaylle has promised the Republi can leaders of that state support in ev ery way in their attempt to carry the electoral vote. Negotiations are now ia progress by which the Republicans are to take down all but four of their con gressional nominees in that state and indorse the Populists, with a h-jot that the combined votes will be sullb ient to elect a fusion electoral ticket. But it is now known that Mr. Ilanria litis slight hopes of getting any return from G- r gia, Alabama. Texas, Louisiana, Ten nessee or Missouri, but he has giv-n both speakers and money to the state managers to aid them in their light against the free silver movement. Among the new silver speakers in the west at Liemocratic hoadquari-rs is Timothy W. Coakley of Boston. He was cute of the leaders in th- turbulent Massachuset ts state convention which nominated George Fred Williams for governor. Then all the men who have been speaking in Indiana, Kentucky and Iowa will be brought to Cook coun ty during the last fe-w days of the cam paign to mak- things lively. National Chairman Hanna was asked if he thought that the Democrats would succeed in stampeding Cook county. "Stampede nothing," was his quick re sponse. The Republican managers will not make any espeoxtial effort to distract attention from Mr. Bryan, unless he says something especially radical or distasteful. In suc h a c ase everything is in readiness to flood th- county with speakers of the Republican stripe. Col. llahn has determined, if conditions de mand, to cancel the assignments of all of his spe-akers in the neighboring states and bring them into Cook county to take issue with Mr. Bryan if he gives them an opening. Such a course, however, is generally d-preeated by Mr. Hanna and Mr. Payne. ANSWERS 31 R. BRYAN. Canton Troopers Say They Were Not Paid to Escort Delegations. Canton, O., Oct. 28. This morning a reception at the McKinley home was marked by pome pointed references to charges of pay coupled with the coer cion charge made by Mr. hryan con cerning delegations. The Canton troop, w hose membe-rs for months past c .im posed of edd soldiers, business n.-n, working men and professional me n have, mounted on hors-s. escorted visi tors to the McKinley home, made a so cial call. Aft-r introducing the mem bers of the troop individu.-illy to the governor. Capt. Harry Fix-ase made the following remarks: "Major McKinley: We have been ac cused of doing what we have done in the way of escorting dele-atio -,s to your home for mere-nary purp-.s s. an-, some even think they h ar the Jing!. of the money we have received in out pockets. (Laughter.) But I want Pi assure you it has been purely a desire to serve you and the cause y-u repre sent, and' to see that the callers that you have received from different parts of the country should have proper es cort from the depots to your home."

1 i TOPEKA STATE JOURNAL, WEDNESDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 28, 189G. EGGS FORBRYAfl. Cliieaero Rowdies Throw Eggs at Democratic Procession. Some of Bryan's Escort Be spattered With Them. BRYAN IS NOT HIT. Police After Disturbers Re publicans Regret Incident. Bryan and Stevenson Address Several Immense Audiences. Chicago, Oct. craxic parade was Michigan iiv u--yesterday afterno- While the Demo prissing the corner of and Monroe s'. e ..s n .several egjs were forces n at it by young stut i in the Metropolitan bu-di.f ss Colk-gr;. None of the eggs came near Mr. Bryan nor his wife and neither of them knew of t episode until after the parade was over. All Purls ui stories were current ebout the affair, one of them being thai Mrs. Bryan was struck with an earar, another that the carriage was hit. Neither of these stories was true, how ever. The eges thrown at the parade came from a l..y standing on the sidwr!k in front of the Powers building, in which the Metropolitan college is situated. The eirgs were to all apijearances thrown at the parade, and at no particular indi vidual as they were not hurled with any violence. A policeman who witnesed the act made a rush for tiie youngster who darted across the street and into a building. A second officer joined the first, and as the two ran for the door way several more e were thrown from the window of the lege, which occupies the business col tu'.h floor o the building. The Cook county marching-club. which was escorting Mr. Bryan, received the bombard men t and several coats and black tiles were spattered with yellow. One or two egg's struck the sidewalk and the crowd was decorated accord ingly. Later in the afternoon, a dele gation from the Cook county Democra cy descended upon the college with eve ry symptom, of hostility, and demanded that the students who had done the throwing; be turned over to it. They had possession of the college for a time, and finally left without learning: who had done the throwing. The police had no better success as Mr. Powers, the owner of the building, who is also pres ident of the college, said that he did not know who had thrown the eggs, al though he admitted that they came from students in his Institution. He was much distressed by the occur rence, and declared if he knew who had done the work he would have no hesi tar.ey in turning them over to the po lice. Later in the day a reporter for a morning- Republican paper, while looking- up the facts in the case, was se verely beaten by a party of men who had taken part in the parade. "I would be very triad to hear that the police have arrested those who in suited Mr. Bryan this afternoon," said Cteimian Marc Hanna, of the national Bl "publican committee last night. 'Whatever the motive it was a most disgraceful one. I hope the authorities will investigate the case fully and prop erly punish the guilty ones. The Re publican management have no sympa thy with people who engage in business of this kind." Mr. Powers, late last night offered a reward of i.",00 for the apprehension of the persons who threw the egg's. Chief of Polite Badenoeh has put a dozen detectives on the case and says he will exhaust every effort to find the t r. throwers. -Mr. Bryan arrived in Chicago at 3:30 p. m. over the Alton and was met at the depot by a large and enthusiastic crowd of his admirers. The crush to see him was so great in the narrow space of the first floor of the Alton de X"t, that the police had a difficult task to prevent people from being injured. The Cook county Democratic marching club and several silver clubs, with a I ivi.'- number of bands were waiting for him on Canal street, and as soon as he appeared, the march was taken up for Battery D. on Michigan avenue. A short parade through the down town streets preceded the arrival at the Battel-?.-. Entering- the city from Brighton park, where Mrs. Rr an appeared on the plat form and distributed bowers, there were crowds at every street crosing until the union depot was reached. While the crowds were dispersing after tlie Bryan demonstration at the depot, the sidewalk in front of li'l Canal street pave way and nearly bi people were precipitated into the basement, a dis tance of 12 feet. Many received slight injuries. Those most seriously hurt were Patrick Houston. Michael "Finan, Albert Powers, and William Nolan, ail middle aged men. None of them was fatally injured, but all will be confined to their beds for some time to come. Mr. Bryan's address at Battery D was as follows: "Fellow Citizens: As T returned to your city to take part in the closing ex ercises of this campaign, I have wit nessed today a some which impresses me and which leads me to believe that this Brent city of the west, which rests upon the prosperity of the masses of cur people, which cannot prosper with out they prosper, this great city will throw its influence one week from to day on the side of the American finan cial policy. I am net vain enough to believe that any part of the extraor dinary enthusiasm which I have wit nesesd between the Missouri and the Atlantic coast is intended as a personal tribute. (Applause and cries of 'Yes, yes.') I want you to believe m? when I p v that in this great contest it is the principle for which the candidate stand and not the candidate that has called forth this demonstration. (Applause.) "There is only one thine- ior which I claim any credit: That I will carry out the pledges of the campaign. It is simply your comidence that I will d what I have promised to do. and carry out the ideas for which in this cam rnipn I stand, and for this only, that 1 can claim any credit. But. my friends, what credit is it t a ni.oi to be wh-it lie seems to be? Why. It I wcr- other titan true to the principles which I ad vocate, I would be beneath the con tempt of those whose sii'ir.i.ffe I ask. (Great a;rhiuse.) 1 do believe that in this campaign a great question is to be determined, for the present at least. 1 do believe tha.t the settlement of that grcai question a.ffeets every man. wo man and child in all this land, and when I see the povl slimed as they have seldom been stirred before.

We are not attacking a race; we are attacking greed and avar ice, which knows no race or religion (Applause), and I do not know of any ciass of our people who, by reason of their history, can better sympathize with the struggling musses in this cam peign thai can the Hebrew race. (Ap plause.) "My friends, the Bible teaches us that when the children of Israel were in bondage and asked for a little lighten ing el their burden, tne Pharaoh of that time said: 'The are nib-: make them work Jecrder and they will not complain.'

(Great applause.) "My friends, I may be wong, (Cries of: "No, no.") I have- never claimed in fallibility, but, when I examine a ques tion and reac h a conclusion which I be lieve to be right, when I take a posi tion that my judgment supports, I am willing to stand by what I believe. I care not what may happen. In this struggle for the restoration of bimetal lism, there was a time when I had less company than I have now. (Laughter and applause.) "Your papers have called me a dem agogue. If there is one thing I am not. It is a demagogue. A demagogue is defined as a man who advocates a thing which he does not believe in or (Cries of: "That's MeKinhy."and cheering for some minutes). Some of the audience shouted for Mr. Bryan to get up higher, as they could not see him. Finally he mounted a chair on the platform, which was the signal for another outburst. "Aint he a peach" one of the enthusiastic, leather lunged ad mirers demanded. Finally Mr. Bryan proceeded as follows: "Now let me finish the sentence. A demagogue is a man who advocates a thing he does not believe in order to conciliate those who differ from him. A demagogue is a man who is willing to advocate anything whether he believes it or not, which would be advantageous to him and gain him popularity. (Cries of "That's Ingersol!.") Now, my friends I have never advocated during my pub lic life a single thing- that I did not my self believe. (Cheers.) I have proven my willingness to go down in defeat by advocating things when I was in a mi nority and I have always ben willing to accept defeat when I went down with my convictions rather than rise by demagogueisrn. "I say that here, because in this city the papers are against us and we must seek to reach the people directly be cause we have not the advantages our opponents have of reaching them through the daily papers. I shall be in this city for a few days, and shall see as many of you people as it is possible to see in that time. I am going to talk to the people themselves, and not go to the employers and bargain for the de livery of tiie votes of the p-eople. (Cheers I have been taught that "the ballot was given to the Individual for his own use, and that the citizen -who has the right to vote, also has the abil ity to determine how he ought to vote. (Applause.)And therefore, in this cam paign, I want to address my arguments to the individual voter and not to the head of the firm, or the p resilient of a railroad or the boss of a corporation. (Great applause.) "Three political parties have declared that the money question is the para mount issue, and the bolting Democrats who are helping the Republican ticket without having the courage to come out and say so, have declared that the money question is the paramount issu-, and the leading Republicans have ad mitted and yet, when our opponents are driven to the wall on the money question, when they have failed in their attempt to defend themselves b' fore the American people they try to avoid the money question, but I give them notice that for one week more they have got to march up to the money question. (Great applause and cheering.) "In the past the geld standard has gained every advantage which it has had thus far under cover. My friends, I am willing to trust to the intelligence of the American people to decide whether this government is safer in the hands of those who believe in the ability of the people to govern them selves, or In the hands of the trusts and syndicates that have been bleeding the people of this country. I am willing to let the American peot.de decide whether our government is safer in the hands of those who believe in our form of government ami would die to per petuate it or whether it is safer in the hards of a few financiers who can't think on the money question until they ask Lcndon what to think." (Applause and a voice: "Three cheers for Bryan.") The cheers were eiven with a will. At this point Mr. Bryan excused himself to make ready for the six other speech es he was to deliver before midnight at various halls and tents in this city. The first of the half dozen of Mr. Bryan's speeches was d-livend at Ar cade hall. Slxty-fift h street arid Went worth avenue, in the exrrem sou: hern portion of the city.

CROWDS OF WOMEN With Campaign Umbrellas and They Drilled. Souvenirs for Major McKinley, Flowers For Mrs. McKinley. Canton, Oct. 28. There w-aa never a more inspiring scene than that Wit nessed on the public square yesterday. Many of the visitors from Boston, West Virginia, Toaryiand and Cle eland gath ered in front of the handsome court house on the broad public square and sang patriotic melodies, interspersed by music of bands and the waving of flags, banners and campaign parasols, with which the women's delegations were supplied. "America," "Yankee Doodle." "The Star Spangled Banner" quickly followed one another, rear was "Dixie" or "Maryland, My Maryland" forgotten. Both were sung as lustily and patriotically as was "John Brown's Body" and "Marching Through Geor gia." The affair was entirely Impromptu and ended at 5 o'clock wBh "Home, Sweet Home" from both bands and the vast audience, which had gathered first as spectators and then as participators in tiiat great patriotic concert. Today's demonstration was full of beauties and features. It was notable for a large crowd. It was notable for the w ide range of territory represented by the visititjg delegations. It was notable for the varied interests of the people who came. The demonstration began In earnest at noon with the arrival of a party rep resenting three states and it continued till dark. All that time the McKinley residence, which was surrounded by an interested crowd shouting and cheer ing feir the nominee and applaudlntr the spb-ndid delegations which matched up the street. All that time the air was filled with the music of bands, and a.t no time was the street leading to the McKinley home without a line of men and women either marching or waiting orders to march. In the first party were 16 coach loads coming from eastern West Virginia, western Maryland and Mar tin's Ferry, the latter delegation be ing composed of women coming with greetings for Major McKinley and with beautiful flowers for Mrs. McKinley. Employes of three large Cleveland concerns were next, and when they ga ve way it was to make room for mur? Ohio people, men and women from Mingo Junction. O., the employe? of a large iron and steel plant and their wives and friends. After thes" came the New England delegation und r the banners of the New England "Sound Money club." This party occupied a special train of six sleepers and two dining cars and was on the way from 2 o'clock Monday afternoon till 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon. The party came largely from Boston, but a number of ot'n -r New Kngland towns v.n re repre sented. It was composed of former Democrats as well as Republicans and one man presented to Mr. McKinley was introduced as one wlio bad for over fifty years voted nothing but the Democratic ticket, but who this year will vote for McKinley and Hobart. The visitors were introduced by Frank Rollins, ex-president of the New Hampshire s.-nate. M-inv relics and mementoes of the visit wre bnuurht for Mrs. McKinley from I historic 9: n.

R. Day and Mrs. George P.. Frease introduced Mrs. L. C. Laylin, who made the introducto ry address and George Titus, who pre sented a large cluster of vellow chrys- j amhemums to Mrs. McKinley. The j latter, owing to illness, could not re I ceive the visitors. The major's mother and sister, Miss Helen McKinley, how j ever, were a.t the house and extended most cordial welcome to the callers. When Mnj. McKinley concluded his address to the aeompaniment of the Norwalk band, the women united in singing a campaign song to the tune of "Red, White and Blue," waving their handkerchiefs all the while and produc ing a most striking effect. Then came a visit of five or six car loads of insurance men from Cleveland who were introduced to Maj. McKinley by A. R. Manning. H'SINLEY TO NEW ENGLAND. Says What Helps New Eng'andHelps the Whole Country. Canton, O., Oct. 2S. Maj. MeKinley's response to Frank W. Rollins of Boston who spoke on behalf of the New Eng land delegation, was as follows: "It has been my observation that every consideration that moves New England to any action, moves every other part of our common country. What is good for New England is good for Ohio. "What is good foor New England is good for the great west. What is good for one part of our country is good for every part. Wre have presented in this campaign a question that should in no sense be political, partisan or sectional or strange., but a very serious question, astounding indeed, at this juncture of our national affairs; a question fraught with the greatest peril to every interest of the United States. The problem is not one of the present, but of the to morrow and of the hereafter the bold, bald question of national integrity and national honor. Both these are involved in the die of our ballots one week from today. It is not a question simply as to whether one party or another shall win as in times past. that sinks into comparative insignificance in a crisi3 like this but it is a question whether now in our greatest strength and maj esty we shall proclaim to the world whether or not we can be trusted, or whether or not we shall allow it said that we, the people of the United States, believe in paying our honest debts in base metal stamped by the1 government of the republic as worth 100 cents for all dues, private and public. "My fellow citizens, the mere state ment of the propcisition brings the in dignant answer of instant and instinct ive condemnation. i,ly friends. I do not know what you may think of such a proposition, except as I judge of your past history, resplendent as it is and has been in the annals of human af fairs and government, but I feel as I believe Americans must feel, when 1 contemplate such a project, like invok ing the prayers of Patrick Henry when he cried aloud with fervent voice: "For bid it Almighty God.' Cries of Amen.) We cannot afford to be indifferent, list less or unconcerned in such a question and we are not. Men in every part of the country are quickened into activity to avert the threatened danger as they have seldom, if ever, been quickened before. There is more ire life, vital as they are, than food and raiment, lands and wealth more in life than power and riches. Whatever our condition, relatively speaking, there comes a still, small voice more penetrating than the tempest that asks and insists that we shall answer 'Is this just, true, and righteous?' and that question address ed to every man's conscience must fol low us into every election booth of the country'- If we could profit by public dishonor, we would still spurn it; but no nation, state or individual ever did or can profit by dishonor. The essence of life is right living and its exaltation is in decency and honor, liberty ami law. The men of New England will spurn, as they have always spurned, repudiation or dishonor in any word or guise in which it may be presented. "My fellow citizens, we want to adopt a policy that will give the workingmn of this country an opportunity to work. We want notonly a policy that will set tie and start the wheels of industry and utilize the mighty water power towhich your spokesman referred; but we want a policy that will put enough money into tne treasury each and every 24 hours to pay our running expenses. "Men of New England, I know you will guard the country and contribute your part to add further and greater glory to it. and you need not fear, aye. you can go back home witheut the slightest apprehension that the great west will be not one whit behind you in sustaining the holy cause of our country and our proud American na tion. "The south will march with you, con tributing each their share to the en thronement of public honor, and the triumph of sound money united with yeu in upheiding the inspiring old ax iom 'Honesty is the best policy,' and that no pceople can permanently pros per without obedience to the eternal laws of justice and right."

Democratic Committee Abso lutely Certain of Success. Issues a Bulletin Giving; Bryan 2 S3 Electoral Votes. BRYAN'S SPEAKING. It Will Increase His Majorities They Say. Illinois, Michigan, Indiana Are Claimed For Bryan. Chicago, Oct. 28. Chairman Campau of the Democratic national committee received telegraphic reports giving es timates based on the latest information as to how the different states would record their votes on next Tues day. This is the last formal report that will be made by the chairmen of the different state committees. Chair man Campau says: "The Democratic committee awaits the result with serene confidence. William J. Bryan will be elected by the largest popular majority given any president in a quarter of a century. He will have more than 300 votes in the electoral college. Reports from the middle western states show the effect of his wonderful campaign ing tour through them. His majority will be increased by many thousands as a result of his great journey. Illi nois, Michigan, Indiana, Iowa, Minne sota are absolutely safe and our chan ces of success in Ohio and Wisconsin are very flattering. The ever rising tide of enthusiasm for the great cause and the great leader of the common people will sweep those states.along with their sisters already won. "Senator Gorman, one of the most as tute political leaders of the union, guar antees Maryland. Our reports from Kentucky are that the Republican monopoly and Democratic treason will be outvoted by more than 40.000. The desperate and despotic effort to coerce and buy the American people came to dismal and humiliating failure. The solid south and the silver west will join hands in impregnable alliance at the polls. "The great middle west is with them in an invincible union. "Our intrepid leader is sure to get a magnificent victory. These states will give their votes for him without a shad ow of doubt: Alabama. 11; California 9; Florida, 4; Idaho, 3; Indiana, 15;' Kansas 10; Louisiana, 8; Michigan, 14; Mississippi, it; Montana. 3; Nevada, 3; North Dakota, 3; South Carolina. 9; Tennessee, 12; Utah,3; Washington, 4; Wyoming, 3: Arkansas, 8; Colorado, 4; Georgia, 13; Illinois, 24; Iowa, 13; Ken tucky, 13;; Maryland, 8; Minnesota, 9; Missouri, 17; Nebraska, 9; North Car olina, 11; Oregon, 4; South Dakota, 4: Texas, 15; Virginia, 3; West Virginia, 6. Total 23. "In addition, our chances of success in these states are far better than those of the Republicans: Delaware 3; Ohio 23; iseonsin 12. Total 3S. "It nas been a long, hard campaign, but the people's cause has never ceased in its march to victory. The Republi can national committee's claim of 350 electoral votes is bluster." Mr. Campau gave the following re ports of the different state chairmen, showing that the confidence of the na tional committee is shared by the man agers in the different states. ARKANSAS. Democrats and Populist fusion on the electoral ticket working harmon iously and wii! receive at least 95,000 votes. McKinley will not receive 35, 000. Bryan's majority will be 60,000 in Arkansas. CARROLL ARMSTRONG, Chairman. CALIFORNIA. In my opinion. in spite of intimidation and coercion, which are being practiced in all the cities and towns of California, to a very great extent, they cannot pre vent by any possible means the election of the fusion electors bv a majority that will not fall below 25,000. WM. H. ALFORD, Chairman Bryan and Sewall Electors. COLORADO. One hundred and twenty thousand majority in Colorado. FRANK P. ARBUCKLE. CONNECTICUT. "The Republicans in Connecticut are boastful, making estimates without anything to back them. Impossible to i make a canvass. Workingmen, re gardless of past affiliations unanimous ly for Bryan. Republicans are counting j McKinley buttons worn by working men, and basing estimates upon them. Workingmen wear McKinley buttons to obtain employment. In one factory i where the superintendent made a can I vass, in a room of 38, the canvass showed McKinley 17, doubtful I. That was for the superintendent. The way they vole is Bryan 12, McKinley 5, i doubtful 1. I believe there Is a sur prise in store f. r the Republicans. Will ehct congressman in the Second (New Haven) district, possibly one in the I Fourth (Bridgeport) district. The sil ver men are hopeful of putitng up a good fight. "ALEX TROUP, Chairman." IDAHO. j "Bryan, will carry Idaho by 18,000 ma- i jority. I "JAMES A. McGEE, Chairman." ILLINOIS. 'There seems to be no doubt of a very large Democratic majority in III i nois outside of Chicago. Making the larg- st allowance for the doubiful vote. we can count on a plurality of a.t least 30.C00 for Bryan. We shall elect 14 of the 21 congressmen. "W. H. HINRICHSEN, "Chairman." INDIANA. "The situation in Indiana was never brighter for a sweeping Democratic victory. I am convinced we will give Bryan the electoral vote and carry i nine and probably all of the congres i sional districts by a safe majority. Not 1 withstanding the attempts at coercion and corruption, the p.op'e are loyal and determined. All the r-cent alleged d i rections which have b -en her alded loudly by the gold standard mess are of men allied with corporations and who fought the silver ei- merit prior to the Chicago convention, and have given the ticket no support since, so that the effect of their desertion was long since discounted. The free silve:' Republican vote will exceed the goid standard vote 3b00f. "PARK H. MARTIN, Chairman." KANSAS. "Kansas is absolutely safe for a ma jority for Bryan t-leetors of not less than 40,000. State fusion ticket wili also be elected. We will elect six congress men sure, and good fighting chance for other two. Campaign is in splendid shape. "J. MACK LOVE, Chairman." LOUISIANA. "Louisiana is certain for 40,000 or 50, 000 majority. "MAJ. CUNNINGHAM, "Chairman." MICHIGAN. "There is no doubt that Michigan will give its electoral vote for Bryan. The conclusions are based on these con ditions: A harmonious union of ele ments in all presidential elections, con stitutes a majority. These united forces have all been constantly increased at the expense of the Republican party. Not a day but reports come from every county asserting that we are gaining steadily new converts. A poll of 30 counties shows us 28 will give us major ities for Bryan. The precincts polled show an average of 16 Republicans who will vote for Bryan. If the aver age in the 30 counties holds good through the entire state it will amount to 30.000, which would indicate a ma jority of not less than 45,000 for Bryan. This calculation assumes that the gain from Prohibition will equal the vote for Palmer and Buckner. There is no escaping the conclusion that the state is safe for Bryan and the entire ticket. "GEORGE F. RICHARDSON, "Acting Chairman." MINNESOTA. "Minnesota will give Bryan electoral ticket 25,000 majority. "L. A. ROSING, Chairman.' MISSISSIPPI. "Democratic free silver majority will not be less than 73.000 majority in Mis sissippi. Solid free silver congressional delegation. "C. C. MILLER. Chairman." MISSOURI. Missouri cannot go less than 65,000 majority for Bryan. We will elect 14 congressmen. SAMUEL B. COOK, Chairman. MONTANA. Montana will give the Bryan electors at least 12,000 majority. W. A. COCKRELTj, Chairman. NEBRASKA. Our polls show 17,800 in Nebraska for Bryan. LEE HERDMAN. Secretary. NEVADA. The total vote of Nevada will be 10, 000. The Bryan electoral ticket will re ceive 7,000 votes. Newlands will be re elected to congress by an increased ma jority. JOS. RYAN, Chairman. NORTH CAROLINA. Electoral fusion between Democrats and Populists and silver Republicans is complete in North Carolina, which will insure a maojrity of 30,000 at least. MAN LEY, Chairman. NORTH DAKOTA. North Dakota will be for Bryan by 3, 000 on conservative estimate based on full poll of state. Not to exceed 200 gold Democrats in state while there arc fully 5,000 silver Republicans, many of them prominent leaders. Will also elect congressmen and full fusion state tick et with almost certainty of carrying legislature and electing United States senator. In legislative fight Republi cans have advantage of 12 majority of hold over state senators, but their cor rupt legislative record with overwhelm ing silver sentiment among farmers, will give us a majority. THOS. KLEINOGA, Chairman. OREGON. Oregon is safe for Bryan by 3,000 to 5,000 majority. F. A. E. STARR, Chairman. SOUTH CAROLINA. South Carolina will give Bry an a ma jority of at least 50,000. All Democratic congressmen will be elected. J. L. McCARBT, Chairman. SOUTH DAKOTA. We are confident that South Dakota will give Bryan electors 5,000 to 8,000 majority. J. A. BOWLER, Chairman. T15XA8. From the information obtainable Bryan and Sewall electors will have a majority of 150. 000 over McKinley. There is no possible combination that can de feat Bryan and Sewall in Texas, all re ports to the contrary notwithstanding. This estimate is based upon a careful and conservative poll of the state. J. V. BLAKE, Chairman. UTAH. Bryan will carry Utah by 40,000 ma jority: King, Democratic candidate for congress, will surely be elected; will elect Democratic legislature. GEO. W. BUFiTON, Chairman. VIRGINIA. Virginia is safe for Bryan by a hand some majority. J. TAYLOR ELLSON, Chairman. WYOMING. Wyoming will give Bryan not less than 1.800 majority, and it may reach 3,000. The Hanna managers are using desperate efforts to buy and steal the i state, but they cannot buy or steal enough to reduce the majority below 1 the above figures. I CHAS. E. BLYDENBURG. j Chairman. i FLORIDA. I There is no doubt whatever that Flor- ida will be for Bryan and Sewall by from 10,000 to 15,000. W. A. RAWLS, Chairman. WEST VIRGINIA. We will carry West Virginia for Bryan and entire state ticket bv ma jority of 8.000 to 10,000 and will certain ly elect three and probably four of the Democratic candidates for congress. A. EDMONDSON, 1 Chairman. MARYLAND. Our campaign is exceedingly warm and we are more than satisfied with the progress we have made. II. W. TALBOT, Chairman. IOWA. "From every legitimate source of in formation I am firmly of the belief that Bryan will carry Iowa by a large ma jority. All i''P rts show daily iner-a-;-I; g gains. The tide cannot be checked. 'Xh. p.ople are thoroughly aroused. "E. W. CURRY, Chairman." TENNESTSriE.

NEW YORK. "We entered in the campaign in New York under discouraging eireumsiai.c :S and with slight prospects of carrying the state for Bryan and Sewall. The sentiment in favor of our national ticket has grown in strength daily and Demo crats have gradually gained confidence; in Democratic success. A majority of the voters of this state are in favor of the election of Bryan and Sewall. I do not believe that the vast corruption fund raised by the Republican cam paign managers can check the current of opinion which is running in favor of our national candidate's. I believe that New York city will give at least 40,000 majority for Bryan and Sewall and that we shall carry the state by 50,000 majority. "ELLIOTT DAN FORTH, "Chairman." PHOTOGRAPHS A FiUNCF.SS. Prof. Dyehe Secures a Valued Curio in the Xakatat Country.. Seattle, Oct. 28. Prof. Louis Lindsey Dyche, the noted Greenland walrus hunter, naturalist ami professor in th i University of Kansas, has just re turned after a summer in hunting and exploration in the wilds of Alaska. He was so successful and interested in the natural history field presented that he intends to organize a w. 11 equipped expedition and return, to t he far north, probably in the summer of lSHS. This year he proceeded to Cook's in let, and after some explorations be made his permanent camp at the- head of that curious arm of the sea that is. at the point where tiie Kuik and M.i denuska rivers join and enter the inlet together. This is the place chosen the past summer by the Alaska Com mercial company for its trading post, which is in charge of a man named Creasing. He had formerly been located fifty miles further toward the sea and then bis post was 125 miles beyond Tyoonie. the practical head of navigation on the inlet. The new site of his post was chosen for the purpose of trading with the Copper River Indians, who como down the Kuik and Mademiska rivers periodically to trade. At this place Dvehe sueceded in making a fine col lection of the materials he was in search of. and also adding a number to his already long list of adventures. Dyche explored the Kuik river to its source, with the aid of a crew of hardy natives. "It took two weeks to go up and two minutes to come down," said the professor. He obtained 42 speci mens of the new mountain sheep, Or vus dalli; 12 large moose heads, three caribou heads, six young sea otters, mice, birds and other interesting forms, including a quantity of ethnological materials, and 2u0 photographs. Ho was the first man permitted to photo graph Princess Tom, the famous Yaka tat princess, who is wealthier than any other Alaska native. She has $15,000 in gold buried and wears on her arms $200 in gold pieces hammered into bracelets. She Is 6: years old and is living with her fifth husband, who is 20 yars of age and whom she purchased from his parents for 500 blankets. The Tlinkit women are masters of their households.

Graduates of Cambridge Work ing to That End. TO BE FIUEXDS AGAIX. Yale Will Have to Send the Football Challenge, Otlier Sporting Nevrs of a Gen eral Nature. Poston, Mass., Oct. 2?. An organized effort is beinir made to bring Harvard and Yale together at the end of the season. The Harvard graduates have been quietly at Work since college open ed to the end of patching- up the differ ences between Harvard and Yale. It is understood that their efforts have met wdth some promise of ultimate suc cess. if present indications are at all an earnest of the future course of the ne gotiations there is every reason to be lieve that Yale will play at Harvard next season, and vice versa. With the removal of the old athletic committee from the scene of action there is noth injr that savors of impossibility in the scheme. It is well known that the rupture was brought about by Prof. Ames, at that lime chadrman of the athletic committee. It is only fair to add tiiat Pi of. Ames' position was backed up heartily by foot ball play ers, coaches and the college at laise. Since that time matters and senti ments have chans-'d considerably. Pi of. Ames has retired and Prof. Ic-ale has taken his place. It is understood that the present athletic committee is only too anxious to bring about an under standinsr with Yale. Put Prof, Peale laid down one absolute condition of peace. It was that the challenge should come from Nw ilaven and not from Cambridge. This is just where tne question rests in Cambridge. If Vale can be induced to send a challenge it would be accepted readily by Harvard, and. the old relation of friendly rivalry would be resumed. It is just the sending of this challenp that the Harvard graduates are trying to bring about. EVERKAJtDT BESTED. Lavigne Wins the Championship in the Twenty-fourth Round. New York. Oct. 2S.

Over 11,000 Cubic Feet of Water a Minute To Ke Let Go In Presence of Spectators. Chicago, Oct. 2S. Residents along the drainage canal below Lemont will be treated today to the sight of a great volume of water rushing towards Joliet through that portion of the big ditch which has hitherto been dry From the point where the Santa Fe tracks cross the canal at Lemont to a point two and a half miles east the ca nal has been completed many months and the excavation has been gradually filling with surface water. The aver age depth of the w-ater is nine or ten feet, and at the east end where the contractors are still at work it is fear ed the flood will overflow and interfere with the workmen. "With the exception of the space 100 feet wide in the middle of section S at Lemont, under tiie Santa Fe right of way. which has not been touched, the work of excavation is practically com plete from section 5 to section 15, a dis tance of ten miles. On section 14, near Lockport. a pair of big pumps has been placed with suf ficient capacity to keep the ditch free from surface water. Chief Engineer Randolph decided some time ago to tunnel under the Santa Fe tracks in order to release the body of stagnant water collected above. The tunnel work will be completed this morning, and about noon the last charge of dynamite will lie fired to blow out the head of the tunnel, allowing the water to run through at the rate of 11,000 cubic feet a minute. A number of engineers and other guests have been invited by the drain age officials to witness the freeing of the flood, and it is expected crowds of people wiil watch the scene from the banks of the canal. The great engineering feat of creat ing the giant waterway- is rapidly near ing completion. Nearly V per cent of the excavation is now finished. Mr. Randolph said that as the result of a rough estimate, he finds the mass of rock and earth removed would form, if loaded into freight cars with 40 tons to the car and a locomotive for each 40 cars, an endless chain of trains long enough to encircle the earth at the eqtiater and overlap a distance of 174 miles. FINANCIAL SCHOOL FIGHT. Told a Gold Man He Didn't Have Money Enough to Get Shaved. A fight occurred this afternoon at the Sixth street financial school in which R. C. Talbot struck W. Wardin fairly in the cheek and knocked him full length upon the pavement. The men had been standing in the crowd when Wardin aproaeh -d Talbot. In a re markably short time Talbot ha.d landed on Wardin and the latter measuie.cl his length on the asphalt pavement. War din says: "That fellow had been over there talking with the negroes and be came over and we had some words. 1 told him he didn't have enough money to get shaved, even if he was a gold man. Then he struck me. I didn't fight back, because I knew, we would botii be arrested if I did." Talbot said: 'T didn't say a word to him. He pushed through the crowd and struck at me. I dodged and the blow missed me. Then I tapped him and he fell down. He had been drink ing. I didn't say a word to him." Georce Hungate was standing talk ing to Talbot at the time of the disturb ance. "I was talking to him," said Hungate. "and this other man came up and struck at Talbot. The next thing I knew- Talbot hit him. They hadn't been talking together at all." line side of sympathizers say that Talbot hit Wardin without prove ca tion; another that Wardin struck out first. Wardin went to the police sta tion to procure a warrant for Talbot's nrr. st. He had liquor on his breath. Talbot is a large, muscular man. and usually good natuied.

Eighth Ave. I SATED TIIE ESS Mike had been sitting on the pile of ties near the water tank ever since the fast mail shot by in the early morning. Twice he had tried to slip under a car of one of the many passenger trains which pulled up at the tank. He was an adept at riding on the trucks, and In his two years as a tramp had traveled thousands of milea The afternoon was well on toward even ing, when the west bound limited express came around the curve, and the engine stopped under the huge goose necked pipe which served to pass the water from the reservoir to the tank of the tender. Luck was with him this time. As soon as tho hissing cylinders sent the first jets of white steam over the ditches Mike sprang from the ties, and iu a second was flattened out on the platform between the mail car and the engine. For an hour the train sped over the smooth rails. Mike sat at ease on tho steps, caring nothing for tho hot cinders which rained down when the fireman fed his hungry charge with coal. Just as the train passed through a deep cut the engine whistle gave two sharp blasts, and the grinding of the brake shoes on the wheels told Mike that the engineer had applied the airbrakes. "Something's wrong," said Mike to himself, when he felt the ear shiver and jump under the pressure of tho powerful breaks. "He's givin her all the air she'll stand. The train slowed up with jerks, and just as it came to a standstill Mike jumped from tiie steps and dived into u thick clump of bushes. He glanced toward tho engine and saw on tliu track not 50 feet from the pilot a pile of ties on the rails. At the same iu Btant he heard a pistol shot, and then from tho bushes on both sides of the track a score of men rushed toward the train. Two of them, with revolvers in their hands, sprang into the engine cab. The engineer seized a long handled mon key wrench, and the fireman grasped an iron bar, but before they could use them they were shot down and thrown from tho cub. Hoarse shouts and pistol shots min gled with tho streams of women and tho yells of men. Half a dozen of the train robbers attacked the heavy side doors of the express ear, tind others entered the passenger cars and sleepers witii revolvers in their hands. The men who were trying to break down the door of the express car witli a sledge hammer called to the messenger in side to open the door, but they received a shot from a rille which sent a b licit through the heavy oak. It struck mo of the robbers and he fell to the ground. "Bring that dynamite!" shouted one of the men. Mike's heart seemed to rise in his throat, but he did not dare leave the bushes. In a few minutes there was a loud report, and Mike saw that the dour was shatter ed. The messenger was struck dow n, and in a short time the train robbers had roll ed the express safe out of the car and car ried it into the woods. All of this time the two men who shot the engineer and firemen remained in tl.3 engine cab. The engineer had fallen near Mike's hiding place. Ho was groaning with pain, and Mike crept to him. "Are you killed?" asked Mike. "T ain't no robber. I am a tramp, and was riding on the platform." "No," said the engineer. "I am not killed. I am shot through the arm, and I guess my leg is broken." Just then one of the robbers, who teem ed to be the leader, cried out: "There, some of yon fellows, throw those ties off tiie track. "Get a good look at that fellow," whis pered the engineer to Mike. "Look at him good and hard, so you will know him again. Look at all of them. They flagged me in the cut and I had to stop." Mike singled out the lender and mental ly photographed every feature of his face, his clothing and hat. By this time the ties were thrown into the ditch, and the leader, giving a shrill whistle, yelled to the two men in tho cab: "Give her steam and jump." "Bo you know anything about an engine:-" asked the engineer of Mike. Mike nodded. "I know how to lire and I know how to use the air," said lie. "Get on that train. Shut oil steam and give her every bit of air. Mike darted from the bushes and catch ing hold of the railing swung himself to tiie lower step of the front platform. As he did this the two men in the engine sprang to the ground. One of them saw Mike. "Come out of that," ho cried, and with a quick motion ho leveled his revolver and fired. Mike felt something hot across his cheek and then his face, as though some one had drawn a redhot iron across his skin. He put his hand to tho place, and when he drew it away it was covered with blood. Tho engine puffs were coming faster and faster, and tiie train was gathering speed rapidly. Mike swung himself out from the steps and looked back and saw the two men disappearing in the woods. Theu he clambered over the tender and in a few minutes was in tho cab. The train was rushing along at full speed, and the locomotive rocked and swayed like a boat in a storm. Ho looked at the steam gauge as soon as he reached the cab. It showed 125 pounds of steam. Next he looked at the water glass and saw that there was plenty of water in the boiler. He seated himself on tho green cushion which spread over tho engineer's bench. The throttle valve was wide open, and ho pushed in tin- lever until tiie locomotive sensibly lost speed. Then ho pulled tho reversing lever back a few notches, and tiie huge engine was under control. He made up his mind to run to the next town, and after a 20 minute ride he could just see the smoke of a factory in the place. A shout behind him caused him to look back. He involuntarily lowered his head, for on the roof of the mail car were two mail clerks, a lirakeman and the conductor of the train, each pointing a revolver to ward his head. Don't shoot, he cried, "I am no train robber. I am only doing what the engi neer told me to do. And ho reached for the whistle cord and sounded the station whistle. In a few minutes all the men were in the cab, and Mike began setting the air brakes. He did it so well that the long train came to a full stop at the xlatform, and the,passengers flocked out of the cars. The engineer and fireman were brought back to the town, where the doctor said neither was badly injured, and the next day Mike was taken to the ollico of the general manager of the road by tho con ductor of the train. Most of tiie train robbers were arrested, and when they were brought into court Mike was able to identify the leader and tiie two men who had captured the engine. Soon after he was sent to school, and the railroad company paid all the bills. Cin cinnati Post The opulai Tope! State Journal viareti In Sheet Music form written for the piano by J. B.

I ys in a recent cs--ay Be rrophtts:" The ma. of mankind live the aver age liw; are easy-g. ai.g. con ui'iw.tai, traditional, comnitin-plaoe. They do what others dc say what others say; they do not either think or act for themselves; any shibboleth does for them, so that it is current; any soph ism suffices them, so it be accepted; they are but echoes; they pair off, as one has said, in insane parties, and be cause they ignore the deep realities of morals and religion, they dislike to have their sand-built houses shaken, or their sluggish ease disturbed. It is almost incredible how hostile mankind I has been to its greatest men. Scarcely J ever has there been a great soul uttering, truth but there has been the shadow of Cavalry. It is because a majority do not like trouble, and to face new truths is a trouble. However much they may be told that there is no such word as j mumpimus, still, like the old Catholic priest, they will refuse to change it for the right but unfamiliar sumpsimus. And that is why the world poisons Soc rates, who bids it think out its own philosophy, and burns those who bid it amend its false religion. Majorities are constantly in the wrong. When Phoeion heard the multitude applaud his speech, he turned round in sur prise and asked, "Have I said anything wrong, then?" "Always," as Goethe said, "it is the individual who works for progress, not the age. The ages have always been the same." Little Annie Diggs has some pretty good sized opinions. 'v.ur Uncle Dick Bland seems to have got mixed up with the discards. It looks much as if New York had got so used to Mrs. Lease that it did not notice her. The subsidence of Tom Watson is one of the pleasing features of the close of the campaign. Mr. Bryan would just as soon that Henry George's predictions should be right as be president. General Simon Bolivar Buokner will have the distinction of making another 'unconditional surrender." There is a puspieion that Chairman Butk-r has at least one more appeal concealed about his person. Lillian Russell has denied that she is going to be divorced again. It is so unlike Miss Russell not to be getting divorced. Th their Turks may as .veil postpone s until afiT haven't time Armenian massacr election bt-eauhe we the to listen to the horrible story. Mr. McKinley showed his versatiiity Monday by attending a funeral and immediately afterwards addressing an unusualiy large number of u.rlega tions. Now that we have Senator Baker's opinion in his Stockton speech that John J. Ingalls is a fool, it would be mighty interesting to hear from Mr. Ingalls. The people in California do not seem to have got onto the fact that it is the proper tiling to refrain from nial ing a raid on the treasury until after th election. Mr. Depew will speak in Ohio be cause personally recjuestcd by Mr. Mc Kinley to do so. It was not more than five months ago that Mr. D"pew was very industrious in attempting to de feat Mr. McKinley's wishes. Secretary Carlisle declares that he has not changed his financial views since 3892. Mr. Carlisle is to be con gratulated on having a mind of such great tenacity as to hold to one belief for the remarkable space of four years. The Populist has just as good a right to think that his Republican fellow cit- izens are going to bring disaster on the country by their votes as the Re- j publican has to think that his Popu- list fellow citizens are going to bring j disaster on the country by their votes. Both have been responsible for some very unpleasant things in our history. There are scamps and scamps. Over in the county jail is a 0-year-old 1 boy. a bright, lively fellow. Lee Thompson. He is sentenced to the re form school but remains here in jail, crying for liberty ami his mother. The spectacle of this big county penning up a 9-year-old boy in the jail with hardened convicts simply because his parents think they cannot manage him is a sight for gods and angels!

Civil service reform has been assas stn a ted in the house of its supposed tiSemls. lis prophet has not only en couraged his subordinates in the most flagrant violations of its principles but has himself indulged in a most intense ly partisan address before the stu dents of Princeton college. Mingled with an utter disregard of that principle which forbids the active participation in partisan politics, by federal office holders, in cases where those office holders have been engaged in upholding the policy of the admin istration and at the same time con niving at the success of the opposition party, has been the retirement from office of those who publicly voiced their support of the candidates noral- nated by the party in power in cases where they could not be intimidated into silence. It is one more example added to the many evidences of insincerity on the part of the president. Unfortunately Mr. Cleveland's course must go far to ward silencing criticism of the civil service plank in the Chicago platform. That plank at the time of its adoption was regarded by many as indicating a disposition to take a step backward but no civil service rules at all are better than a system which is used for attaining partisan ends. It was using the official patronage for partisan purposes that gave ri&e to the agitation for reform. BULLETS DEFLECTED. Slagnets to be Used to Turn Messen gers of Death. New York. Oct. 23. Experiments made by two electrical engineers last year with two cannons on the Jersey coast have suggested a scheme for shielding men and ships in battle. Wire eoi!Ml around the cannon was connected with a powerful dynamo and the huge weap ons were converted into magnets of the greatest force. The drawing power of these magnets overcame the gravity of cannon balis and smaller objects of iron and steel coming within their range were drawn to them with such force that the auth orities was surprised at the unexpected power developed. Very recently experiments show that when the electro-magnets are located in the neighborhood of targets used in oraeticing with mod-rn army rines the course of the bullets is changed, so that i the marksmanship of the riflemen counts for little or nothing. A powerful electro-magnet placed near the tai get deflected a steel bullet 24 vai'tis in a range of only 260 yards. I In a range of 3,000 yards with the dyn amo 2oo yards in front ot the target ana -10 yards" to the side every shot was di verted at least 14 degrees. The immediate conclusion was that a sei tion of infantry exposed to a fire, at 211O yurd would be comparatively sate with a dynamo operating on Its flank, while a whtib- company would be in the same seeutity at :w yaras ar.u aruiifi-y lire would be L-ndered innocuous at 1.- 0e0 yards.

General Wil liam Birney of this city, famous as an abolitionist leader in ante-bellum days and a steadfast Republican since the Fremont campaign, has bolted McKin ley and the gold standard. He told a correspondent yesterday that he had off red his services on the stump in be half of Bryan and bimetallism. At one time during the war General Birney became the idol of the north, for a time even eeiipsing Lincoln. That was in 1863-64, when, nfter a distin guish d campaign through Virginia and Elorida, he was ap pointed one of the three superintendents of the organiza tion of colored troops. In this capacity he went to Baltimore, captured the slave pens and freed their inmates, titus ha.-t.rir.g the abolition of slavery in Maryland. He is the son of James G. Birney, presidential nominee of the Abolitionists in 18S6 of the Liberals in 1840 and 1844. "I want it understood that I am a Republican," said the general, in his law office yesterdav. to a reporter. "It I is, indeed, painful to break away from the associati ons of a lifetime, ana i. shall not do it. I stand now. as ever, on the Republican platforms of 1892, ISsS, 1S84 and all preceding platforms. All of them affirmed arid taught the principles of bimetallism, of American independence. I love this country. I delight to contemplate its grandeur, its intellectual advancement, its volume of internal commerce and the bounteous future in store for it. if only the right course is pursued. "But, sir. how can I look any man in the face and prserve my self respect, or respect for the traditions of my party, or respect for American man hood, by telling him that I surrender the bimetallic principles I have always stood upon with my party surrender the right to legislate for ourselves as we deem beneficial? I cannot do it. No. sir, T cannot, and never will. I never will surrender my citizenship to a little coterie of stock brokers in New York, who despise everything Ameri can and take their cue from London. "What is left for me but to support Mr. Bryan and the American policy that he represents? Nothing. It is the only course left open to any man who cannot shut his eyes to the past. The gold standard plank in the St. Louis platform is not the deliberate Judgment of the Republican party. It was put there solely through the efforts of the men who own the bonds and mortgages of this country men who think their interests will be subserved by contract ing the money supply. Perhaps I would not feel as I do if I did not happen to know something about the secret operation of this co terie of coupon clippers. During the war I was frequently thrown into close relations with Salmon P. Chase, sec retary of the treasury. We were in timate friend.". Time and again Secre tary Chase told me the opposition of the" southern armies did not cause the administration so much concern for th" future as the rapacity of that gang of pirates in New York, who constantly aimed to embarrass the government and control its finances. "Chase deplored it. and so did Lin coln, but they were almost powerless. Whim the greenback measure was sub mitted to congress by Chase and Lin coln, the exception clause was not in clud d. The money power fought the bill and threatened vengeance if it. should be passed. The house enacted it just as Secretary Chase recommend ed, but when it reached th'? senate the exception clause was tacked on at the jmr,tl of the money syndicate. I have this from the tongue of Salmon I P. Chase himself. "From that time to the present the i efforts of the banking-, bond owning syndicate has been directed to the dim inution of non-interest bearing green backs and their conversion into interest bearing bonds, which they wish to add to their already enormous holdings.'

Woman Suffrage Orator Calls Him a Silver Tonguad Wretch Versailles. Ky., Oct. 28. Mrs. Jose phine K. Henry, the woman suffrag-e orator, who is stumping Kentucky for Bryan, created a sensation in a speech last night by a scathing attack upon Breckinridge. She said: "Among the candiates who are ap pealing for your votes in the coming election is a silver tongued wretch who trampled on the holiest emotions of wo man's soul in every relation of life, and who brought such shame and humilia tion to the people of his state that Ken tucky has become, a byword and a re proach to the outside world.

Rest nis'ht the b.-rraan-A im i-ieaii K-aftue of Topeka refused to indorse Cuvnier T.l .i-i HI by an almost unanimous vote, and some of the m embers said some un pleasant thinss about Mr. i-'.isclioff. The troiiole was the r.-sult of the let ter written by Mr. RiHchoff, published in last evening's Journal. bie h.ad ompl.-t.-d the arranLrements fe.r r;.jv ei'iiof Morrill's indorsement and he ap prehended no ditfieuity in having such a resolution adopted, so when he went to the meetinn his s-ul rep-.Fed in the con ti. hence oi an e asy vie tory. But v. hen he fret into the hall h" found that somecliin.tr was vi-. .ti:t. His oh! fri.-nds did not .-how a disposition to be friendly and they sat around talk ing in an undertone. The truth dawned upon him when he introduced his leso luti m to indorse Goveitiur Moiriii for re-eb-ci i. n. The resolution was followed by a sberm of tirot'-sts ami there were sev eral impassioned spe. e-hes crii ieisiiit; yv. Pischoff for prosuminpr to deliver th.- Co-rnian vote to anyone. .Mr. Bischoff was itl'owed to speak and made a plea for the in.lorsem. nt of his resolution, r. citine: the friendship shown by Cuverr.or Morrill to the cause of resubmission. The vote was then taken, and Mr. Bhohoffs resolution to Indorse Gov ernor Morrill was voted down almost unan itnously. The b-atrue followed up its action by indorsing Kichter for lieu tenant M-overii.r. A prominent member of the lea-srue said today to a Journal r porter: "Jf th1- letter of Mr. Rischof: 's had not been made public last evenintr Covernor Morrill would probably- have been in dorsed. But our people saw in that letter an assumption on the part of Mr. Bischoff that he controls the t t.-r-m.in vote, and they mad? up their minds to show him h- was mistaken in his b. lief that the Cermans of Topeka can be voted like eatt! "Mr. Bischoff evidently went to the meeto-c beii.-vine- that he would have no dith.-ulty in havinar his resolution adopted without a fntht. He had lix-l thitifrs that way. but the publication of that letter was unfortunate for him. There is no one man who ran dictate to the C.er-mans how they shall vote and Mir I '.ischoff probably knows that by this time." The action last nitrht is final and no one will be indoi-s- d by tree ami" t'or crovernor. No alt- nipt was made at tie-meetine- to indorse I --edy. Th C.-r-mati vote-rs will he allowed to exercise their own judgment In the matter. There is no doubt. however. that many Oermans will vote for Morrill, notwithstanding the d-n isive defeat of the resolution. Th vote was a protest a-rainst the action of the Cernian lead ers r-ither than a blow at oovernor Morrill.

Peck Speaks to Hia Former Fellow Citizens Thomas Ryan Also Speaks. Although informed by his physician an hour before he entered the hall that he must under no consideration attempt to make a speech on account of the condition of his throat, Gc-orcre R. Peck, "formerly of Kansas," spoke to a large and appreciative audience for oyer an hour at Hamilton hall last nisht. Mr. l'eek was quite hoarse, but he still made his voice heard distinctly in ail pans of the crowded hall. The hail was crowded to the doors. Judire J. B. Johnson presided as chairman of the meetinti', and in his in troductory speech referred to the fact that the two speakers of the evening:. CeorfJte R. Peck and Hon. Thomas Ryan, and himself, years ago com posed a lirm of "alleged" lawyers as he facetiously put it, known as Peck, Ryan Johnson. He then gave a short sketch of Mr. Peck's public career, and concluded by introducing- Mr. Peek to the audien.-e. Mr. Peck's popularity -with the people of Topeka was attested by the ovation he w as given when he faced the audience to deliver his address. The hall rang with hearty applause. When it ceased Mr. Peek said: "Mr. President. Ladies and Gentle men I thank you with all my heart for your greeting. 1 thank the chair man for the few ilattering words he has uttered. And looking into the faces of this great audience I need not be told that I am in the presence of my old friends and neighbors of Topeka. Here was my home, here my children were born, and here lived and still lives the best and truest friends that any man was ever blest with. "I am unable tonight to talk as 1 should like to before this au.lienc.-. but you must b.-ar with me as T make a few suggestions. We are approaching the end of one of the greatest polit ical campaigns in the history of the United States, a campaign which has taken a greater range and aroused more intense and deeper feeling than any in the history of the country. Al though deeply interesting to the peo ple of the whole United States, it is more deeply interesting to the people of Kansas. Kansas is in the very center, the focus of this great struggle. Kan sas cannot bear defeat because in an evil hour the destinies of the state were turned over to the Populist leaders, and in that hour the lienor of the state t-eeeive.l a serious anel almost fatal blow. Two years ago when she swung back to the old .rinciples which made her great she rose again in something like her former majesty. But which ever course Kansas takes this year, the country will Sove its lienor, and William McKiuley and not William Bryan will be the president of the United States. (Applause.) "1 lived in this state a quarter cf a century, and I was proud to be a citi zen of this commonwealth. And I now have hope and faith that the Kansas 1 loved so long will be true to her heroic record. Majorities rule, but majorities c annot make- w rang right. No one c an t.-ll me that Kansas is not a Republi can state, because- you know and 1 kneovv that with few laps.-s Kansas lias always ben true to the principles which are right." Mr. Peck then referred to the debtor and creelitur classes of the country and said that by f 1 the majority of men were both debtors a.nd creditors "We are interrelated," said he. "We are all debitors and we are ail creditors, but what is better, we are all citk-.ens of a common country. (Applause.) Mr. Peek then entered into a discus sion of the crime of 1ST3. lie declared that silver was not demonetized by the a t of cona-ress. and that when Mr. Bryan and others say that it was, they are simply demonetizing the truth. "Duly ebrht million silver .lobars coineel be-fore the act of lsTli." said he-, "and e'te, million coined alter the act. J tow in the world is Mr. Bryan jroins: to make the penalty At the crime?" (Applause and laushter.) Refe-rrinj? the .pi.-stion of coercion arn.-n railroad employes. Mr. P.ck said he knew a y, ,od deal about the railroad employes or the United States, and that there was tut a more inde pendent, brave and intell'frent class of men in the country, tie characterized the talk of coercion as an insult to their int -'licence and inde- er.O.enee. In conclusion Mr. P.-ok said: "The peril, the anxiety of the hour Is so ttreat th;U every man and t-very wo man in Topeka and everywhe-re should do all that he or she can to insur- a e-loriotts victory not Tuosdtpv.n. t simp ly to elect Maj.

(Lutic confirm, d applause.) Following Mr. Peck. Thomas Ryan was introduced by Chairman J.-hnson. After speaking of the .-ni..-irr;issin po sition in whi.-h he was placed, having to follow Mr. Peek, Mr. Byan said: "Mr.ny peep!-- think, and it is pr, br ble that he share-s the opinion himself, that (ie, .rue B. Peck is a self made man. I want to say that lie is nothing of the- kind. I made P-ck myself" "We'll, h.-re." called Mr. Pock, "where do- s Johns. ,n com-- in?" "J.einson was a protefp. of ours," answered Mr. Ryan with a ce-nelusi ve- wave ot' the hand. 'This made the audi'-mee lauer'u. and the-y continued to luue.h t,ir several tniimtep. "It may be a fearful responsibility to assume," continued Mr. Ryan, "but some how or other I am rather proud of my work." And the audience resigned themselves to anoth. r laugh at the last remark of Mr. Ryan. Mr. Ryan's speech consisted larsrely of personal references to Republican oandidate-s for election in this state and concluded with a description f the con ditie.n of the- laborine; class in Mexico.

Kansas City, Oct. 2S. Ex-Senator John J. Inaalls pased through Kansas City yesterday on his v. ay to Council Drove, Kan., where he spoke last night. The note-d Kansan was feelinir in excellent humor and announced his mission to be th.e preaeninc: of "pure ctnd undeliled Republican doctrine.'' "I am not in the prophecy business," snid Mr. Insralls to a reporter for The World. "I am not a soothsayer nor a magician one- able to foretell the fu tuie but I am convinced that Mcivin ley is as R....ct as elected. The Issues are made and speeches from now until election will do little to change the minds of voters." "How is the campaign proceeding in Kansas from a Republican stand point V" "Republican meetings are larger than ever and there has been a solidifying of elements which indicates Republican success. The soldier element is uni ted and Republican clubs formed on every std' teli of gratifying enthusiasm. The- opposition appears to be disorgan ized." "What will McKir.ley's majority be in Kansas'.'" T shall be able to tell better on the 4th day of November about that. My personal judgment is that it will be a g) atifymgly large one." "Win the Republicans carry the legis lature?" "That is where the furht is now," re plied Mr. Inealls. "The fusion forces are throwing their strength to elect the leedslature and appear to have let other issues p.. ley default. In fact, they seem to be holding few meetings." "The eampaien lias been a warm one, has it not?" was asked the ex-senator. "Yes, ir.ieed. But the element of chance gives a zest to the preliminary struggle that is fascinating. It used to be in the past that the Rr-publican party's nomination in Kansas was equivalent to an election. The resuit was the.t lethargy and listlessness pre vailed duriup; the canvass. All this dis appears when the onllict is clouded by the doubts of uncertainty. "The national campaign has been conducted on a high moral plane on both sides. There has been little mud throwing done, the issues being dis cussed in a manner highly commenda ble to American citizenship. I don't be lieve that the Bryan utu-e in Ken tucky was strengthened by the pelting of Carlisle- with rotten eggs. Rotten eggs are not conclusive arguments;, no matter how much they may be used. Jn spite, however, of the heat of the teanvass. th- re have been, fortunately very few such incidents." "How tifiHiut war issues in this cam paign?" he was aske d. "A new generation has arisen. In my travels throughout the stat- of Kansas I meet with only a very few of the or ieii al settlers. The great bulk of my audiences are composed of men who have grown and matured since the; great civil strife. They form now the backbone of the party and hear the brunt or the contlic-t. In consotiuenee, the issues of the war and succeeding tin-.es are no lonirer known by actual experience- wltn them. We are in the midst of a great economic evolutie.n 1 and the- two parties are h.-ivintr a rea i liirtim.-nt on those- issues, A man's partisan views now- greatly depend on i which side of the bank counter he stands cm." j In discussing the Populist party and the recent advance in wheat, Mr. In- galls sai 1 j "The Populists meet the recent a.i- vanoe in wheat by saying thnt Marc Hanea's millions have been the cause i of the rise- in the mat ket. It is the Ip j ulist trait to make- facts suit their argu j meats. You remember that when the I first railroad was built in England, it i was ar-rued that if a stray cow got on i the trac k the animal would be killed. A i well known advocate of the new rail- road referred to th argument and said i that if that was so it was ail the worse for the cow. That is the way with the Populists. If a fact comes in the way of th.ir areuim.-iit. it is so much the worse for the fact." Exception Held. A reception was held in the T. M. C A. rooms last xveninff w hich was large ly attended. Refreshments were served and a short programme rendered, in cluding a number of addresses by di rectors and friends of the association. Price of London Bread Goes Up. London. Oct. 2.
