Pittsburg Will Contribute $200,000 to Campaign Fund Conditionally. Washington, Jan. 15.—If President McKinley will deliver the opening speech of the campaign at Pittsburg he will receive for his campaign fund $200,000 from that city which he may not otherwise get. This offer. it is said, was made to Mr. McKinley on Saturday last by a delegation representing the Americus Club of the Smoky City. The membership of the clab«omprises most of the heavy iron manufacture of Pittsburg, who are the beneficiaries of the Mc- Kinley fiscal system. The Americus ts preparing for a big celebration of Gen.

The president, it is re- ported, was very favorably impressed by the liberal offer, but asked for time to consider it. Mark Hanna was out of the city at the time, and it is understood that in his absence Mr. McKinley did not feel authorized to make any agree- ment for campaign work or contri- butions. It is not doubted that Mr. Hanna will advise the president to aecept the offer. After his remark- able statement at Philadelphia Sat- urday on the condition of the repub-! lican ‘campai n fund, Senator Hanna | is prepared to shake down the faith-{ ful. if is not to be credited that he would let the president refuse Pitts- burg’s offer of $200,000 for the open- ing speech of the campaign unless some other city should offer more. Woman Protects Her Home. Warrensburg, Mo., Jan. 14.—Jerry Galvia was shot near here yesterday by a Mrs. Crowley. Galvin, in com- pany with several others, was drink- ing in the barn of Maurice Crowley, several miles from this city. He started toward the house. Mrs. Crowley saw him coming and obtain- edashotgun. When Galvincame near she ordered him to stop under penal- ty of being shot. Galvin told her to shoot, and started towardher. Mrs Crowley, without further parley, took aim and fired, filling Galvin’s head with small shot. Galvin fell, and Mrs. Crowley at once cameto the city and gave herself up, but the officers ed behind him antagonists became dense, but son continued to press Scott, who re- was within a few feet of him, contin- ued to fire till theform of Scott rolled over and showed life extinct. Kentucky Tragedy in Which Three Men Are Victims. Affair Takes Place in the Lobby of the Principal Hotel in the City. The Guests Thrown Into a Panic. Frankfort, Ky., Jan. 16.—A shoek- ing tragedy.in which the lives of three prominent men were sacrificed and that of a fourth hangs by a slen- der thread, while two others = iracu- ously escaped with painful injuries, occurred here at 1 o'clock to-Ja The principals in the tragedy were ex-Congressman David G. Colson of Middlesboro and Lieut. Ethelbert Scott of Somerset. Scott was shot six times and almost instantly killed. The killing occurred in the lobby of the Capitol Hotel, the principal hos- tlery of the state capital, the room being well filled at the time with poli- is and others, who are here at- tending the contest for state offices before the legislature. Col Colson is in jail to-night charg- ed with murder, but self- defense he claims Col.

[SS Kansas City, Jan. 14.—At a secret meeting held to-day, of the Kansas City executive committee of the Irish- American Society, which was attend- ed also by delegates from St. Louis, Springfield and several Kansas towns, it was decided to hoid simul- taneous pro-Boer meetings in all the | large towns of Missouri, and possi- bly Kansas within a few weeks. These meetings will not be held to adopt resolutions, but to raise funds jor the Boer cause. It is proposed to use a part of the funds raised in equipping a considerable number of young Missourians, who, it is under- stood, are arxious to join the Boer | @llow the trusts to beat Ed Crow army. Only the Springfield delegates opposed thisplan. To-day’s meeting was held to consider the proposed Fenian raid into «d instead.

Keep an eye on David DeArmond. sent out by the Associated Press, I saw it asit appeared in one of the Minneapolis papers and it contains some things I did not say. I have for one year been di:cussing imperial- ism and I have tried to distinguish between such an expansion of the na- tion’s limits as would not change the character of the government, and an expansion which converts a homoge- nious republic into a heterogenous empire. When the annexation of any given territory is under consid- eration the question is, first, whether the people want to come in, second, whether the people are capable of sharing in the government and des- tiny of this nation. “I believe that all people are capa- ble of governing themselves and that the Filipinos should be allowed to govern themselves, but I do not think that they are sufficiently ad- vanced to share with usin the gov-!| ernment of the nation. If the Philip-| pine Islands are annexed the people | there must either be citizens or sub-!/ jects. Iam not willing to admit | them as citizens, and do not believe | thata republic can have subjects, | therefore I want this nation to give! them independence and then protect them from outside interference.

Tiis is good news to democrats the state over. So good and efficient an attorney general as he has proved ean ill L. spared by the people of the state. and especially in the next two years when the test will be made between the people and the great corporations. Ed Crow has shown that he not only has the abil- ity to cope with the best legal talent the money of the trusts can com- mand, but has the courage to asaail them in their strongholds. In the past year he has compelled the insur- ance companies of this state to pay into the treasury $92,000 with a {number of suits yet pending in the supreme court. This for a violation of the anti-trust laws of the state. His fight against the trusts has been superb and it would be a refleetion | upon ourjpeople if we allowed this ‘powerful influence to encompass his !defeat.

His cousin, Judge Ira Ju- lian, examined the wound and con- gratulated him on his escape. The doctors were busy with the dyingand Julian waited. He was bleeding to death, however, and when the doctors turned attention to him he was past recovery. Capt. Golden was alive at a late hour. Colonel Colson h s long been a prominent figure in Kentucky poli- ties. He served two terms in con- gress and declined a renomination at the hands of the republican party of theeleventh district in order to ae- cept the colonele of the Fourth Kentucky regiment in the Spanish war. Scott was a lieutenant and Golden a captain of a cavalry troop in Col- son’s regiment and the trouble which led to the tragedy to-day began then. A feud sprang up between Colson and Scott while the troops were in camp at Anniston, Ala.,and in this, it is said by Colson’s friends that Capt. Golden was a warm partisan of Scott. The trouble between them at that time culminated ina meeting between them in a restaurant, which resulted in Colson being shot by Scott. The regiment was shortly af- terward mustered out of the service asa result of the feud between the officers and the serious charges and counter charges which they had made at Washington against each other as Officers. Since then the parties had not met till to-day, and it has gener- aliy been believed that blood would be spilled should they meet. as both were understood to be looking for each other. Help...
