REPORTS FROM SEVERAL STATES Most of the Silver Leaders Voted Against the Car Coupler Bill. REPUBLICANS FAVORED IT —_—_+——_ Representative Willis of Delaware was a caller at republican congressional head- quarters today. He was in what might be called a conditionc'ly hopeful frame of mind, relative to the republican prospects’ in his own state. The qualifying element in this state of hopefulness was the pos- sibility of successful harmonizing of the existing discord within the ranks of the re- publican party of Delaware. As every cne knows, there are two re- publican parties at present in the diamond state. One is led by Mr. Addicks and the other by Mr. Higgins. A partial truce has been effected in the internecine warfare of the party, but it {s not yet wholly satis- factory. Mr. Willis says Delaware can be car- ried for the republicans if the two fac- tions of the rarty can be brought together. Bright Outlook in Oregon. Ed. T. Judd, chairman of the McKin- ley Club of Aumsville, Ore., rites to re- publican headquarters her “Regarding the outlook, things look very bright here. We are not losing any votes, but have gained some from the pops. From what I know of the state, I am confident it will be all right for McKinley.” R. M. Crabs of Pravo, Jefferson county, Ohio, writes: “We are all right here and gaining steadily. Jefferson county will give the largest republican majority for years. Representative Melville Bull of Rhode Island says: ‘“‘We open our campaign here next week, and expect to give McKinley at least 18,000 plurality November A. Lybrand, connected with the republi- can executive committee of Delaware, Ohio, writing in regard to his county and district, says: “From a recent pcll of the counties fn the district we feel confident of electing our entire ticket, and feel safe in esumating the majority on the national ticket at 4,000, and consider 4,000 a very low estimate.” L. C. Ceulson, who is taking an active part in the Alabama campaign, says: “‘Peo- ple are reading as never before. Protection literature is more sought after than any other now. Alabama could have been car- ried for the republican ticket if the right effort had been made here and we may carry it any way.” G. D. Isaacs, writing from Point Truth, Russell county, Va., says: “I have organ- ized a McKinley and Hobart Club at G-as! Creek school house. We have had only two meetings and have enrolled about seventy-five. I think our ciub will get 150 members by the election.” Dr. Wm Horne, writing from Mt. Ayr, Iowa, say “Gov. Drake's majority in this county last fall was 525. We feel con- fident here that we will increase that for McKinley from 200 to 300. McKinley is sure of 236 electoral votes.” The Car Coupling Bill. The following has bzen given out at re- publicen headquarters: “The constant appeals which Mr. Bryan is making to the passions and prejudices of the laboring men, in which he tries to make it appear that the republican party is the enemy of labor, has caused Chairman Bab- cock of the congressional committee to took up the record of the two parties on the most important piece of legislation affecting the interests of labor which has been con- sidered In the House and Senate during the past five years, namely, the safety coupler law, better known as the car coupler law, which was approved March 2, 1893. This act was the only act that involved the in- terests of the workingmen directly as against corporations and capital. The rec- ord cf the prominent silver men on -this proposition forms a remarkabie showing in the light of the remarks made by Mr. Bryan in his recent speech at Nashville, Tenn., when he said: “*You show me on which side the sympa- thies of a man are and [ will tell you what his vote will be. Show me a man who sympathizes with corporations and syndi- cates and the capitalistic classes, and I will show you a man who will be a gold stand- ard advocate and say it is because he loves his country. (Applause.) Show me the man whose sympathies are with the toiling and struggling of mankind and I will show you a man who, when he understands the Money question, will be in favor of the gold and silver coinage of the Constitu- tion. hen the car coupler bill was before the House the appeals in behalf of its passage fell upon a number of deaf ears, and It is interesting to note at this stage of the campaign who were the men that advo- cated and voted for the measure and who were the men that opposed ft. “The latter were largely those who today are apparently so anxious to advocate the interests of the workingmen. Seven re- publicans and seventy-seven democrats vot- ed against the bill, and of these over sixty lare today loudly proclaiming free silver as the panacea for the ills of the laboring man. Among the ‘gold-bug’ democrats who voted for the bill was Representative Jostia’ Patterson of Tennessee, while Benton M: Millin, the author of the Democratic Cam- paign Hand Book, and James B. Richard- scn. one of the guiding spirits at the Bryan headquarters, both in Washington and Chi- cago, and their associates from Tennessee, who are now so earnestly advocating the interests of the workingmen, voted agains: the bill. “In the conservative Senate there were but ten votes against the bill: elght of these were cast by democrats, one of whom was Senator Gorman, and two by republi- cans. One of these democrats 1S now sup- porting the gold standard, but the rest are active in the interest of Mr. Bryan and free silver, while one of the only two republicans opposing the bill was Senior Stewart of Nevada, whose troubles with the labor emp!oyed on his newspaper, “The Silver Knight,’ form recent history. “If the money to earry out the purposes of the bill had to be expended by the gov- ernment, it might have been urged that those voting against it did so because of their desire to guard the people's money in the treasury of the United States; but not so in this instance, for it was a question, as was claimed, of $77,000,000, to be paid out by the bloated corporations on the one hand, against the life and limb of their em- ployes. Such men as Senators Cullom, Chandler, Hoar and Lodge and other re- publican Senators were advocating the measure in and out of Congress. Even Senator Palmer, who, if the words of Bryan are to be believed, is another tool of the capitalistic classes, gave his voice and his vote in behalf of the bill. Ex-President Harrison, who approved the measure and made it law, three different times recom- mended and ‘urged upén Congrers the pas- sage of the safety equipment iaw, and to- day is talking to the workingmen of the country, advising them to vote against the free coinage of silver because it will be disastrous to their interests.” ——-e-_____ An Assignment.

RO HERE. The Storm ix Now on the Coast, Apprehension Here Has Pans All danger from the latest hurricane is now over, as far as Washington 1s con- cerned. As stated in Saturday’s Star was probably the case, the storm center proved to be too far out to sea to do much damage to the cities, and just now the center 1s off the middle Atlantic coast, and is drawing into it great volumes of air, blowing at hurricane speed, that menaces ships at sea and lashes the waves on the shore into a fury, but dees not do a-tithe of the destruc- tion caused by the storm of September 20. This morning the weather bureau issued the following general forecast: ‘The West India hurricane ‘s now central off the mid- dle Atlantic coast, and the storm has prob- ably reached its maximum force on the southern New England and middie Atlantic coast this morning. Dangerous gales will probably continue during today and tonight on the northeast coast from Delaware breakwater to Eastport.” {The unsettled local conditions have arisen from the presence in the nelghborhood of this storm, which was very slow in travel- ing up the coast. Yesterday there was some apprehension felt lest the experience of week before last was to be repeated, and when in the afternoon the wind began to howl at a lively rate there was a good deal of fear on the part of the citizens.

WAR CORRESPONDENTS’ MEMORIAL. The Arch to Be Dedicated at Gapland Next Friday. The wer correspondents’ memorial arch at Gapland, Weshington county, M4., will be dedicated next FriGey by the Society of Army Correspondents and Artists. A spe- cial train will leave this city for Gapland, better known as Crampton’s Gap, in th2 morning, and return at night. Gov. Lown- des of Maryland has accepted an invitation to preside over the dedicatory exercises. Though built at a cost of less than $8,000, the army correspondents’ memorial is one of the largest and most interesting monu- ments in the battlefields of the country. From the foundation in concrete it is sixty feet to the battlements of the side tower, and a flagstaff twenty feet high on the tower carries the visitle structure to the height of seventy feet. It looks north and south. In the spandrels of the large arch are shielts, on which are the watchwords of the war correspondents, ‘Heed’ and “Speed,” and above those are the heads of the god Mercury and a symbol of poetry. Over the gable, or barbizan, is a gold vane of the “pen mightier than the sword.” On panels of red brick in the middie of the gateway is carved “War Correspondents’ in large letters. In a niche, nine feet high, by the side of the upper arches, is a six- foot figure of Orpheus, sheathing a sword and playing on a pandean pipe. ‘Three busts of correspondents in bronze, to be presented by their friends, will be placed in the upper arches. At the rear of the gateway are two gray tablets, on one of which are the names in double columns of 106 northern correspondents, with room for others that may have been unwittingly omitted. On the second tab- let are the names of the confederate cor- respondents and the artists of the illus- trated papers. There were naturally far fewer southern than northern correspond- ents. ‘The work on the memorial was begun last April, the funds being subscribed by newspaper men, generals who were promi- nent during the civil war and others from sympathy with the object. George Alfred Townsend originated tne idea of the me- morial and has collected. the money and looked after the work since its inception. The monument stands in the gap, on a triangular bit of made ground, necessary for its proper elevation. Its effect in the one natural gateway of the, mountain range for a distance of twelve miles is impressive and picturesque, as through its openings are seen charming valleys, dis- tant heights and bold summits. At the acceptance of the monument pa- pers will be read by a number of weil- known correspondents, including 8. Cad- walader, Edmund C. Stedman, Junius Henri Browne, Judge James Seney of Virginia and George Alfred Townsend, relating to their experiences in the fleld. The papers will be published in a commemorative vol- ume, to be kept in the archives. eae Mrs. Sunderland's Will. ‘The will of the late E. M. Sunderland, the wife of the Rev.

Promptly at 8 o'clock Saturday evening President Gurley called to order the first sound money rally of the campaign held under the auspices of the Non-Partisan Sound Money Club of Alexandria county at Glencarlyn, Va. In a few well-chosen re- marks Mr. Gurley stated the object of the meeting and took occasiGn to declare him- self unequivocally in favor of sound money and civil service reform. Upon concluding his brief address, Mr. Gurley presented to the meeting one of the orators of the evening, Alphonse Hart, ex- gcvernor of Ohio. Mr. Hart opened his address by a denunciation of the giant sil- ver trust, and expressed the conviction that the sole beneficiaries under “Bryanism” would be the great owners of the western sliver mines. Continuing, Mr. Hart read the platforms of the several parties, and in @ scathing rebuke of the democratic prin- ciples he deciared that the “free coinage of sliver, as proposed by the Chicago plat- term, would be a fearful menace to the leboring man, the aeathblow to the grea: industries and general prosperity of the country.” Ohio's representative; was fre- quently applauded during his speech, and his parting shot at Mr. Bryan for attempt- ing {oertay class against class was greeted ‘orm of approval from th ecla- tive audienge. ee After “The Star Spangled Banner” had been sung by the ladies, President Gurley introduced Daniel Ramey of Pennsylvania. Fer about half an hour Mr. Ramey held the undivided attention of the assemblage, delivering an address in which wit and sarcasm were the principal features. His assertion that Mr. Bryan is a dangerous man, and that “free riot’ would be the outcome of a democratic victory, called forth a round of applause from ‘a large number of republicans present. Mr. Ramey resented the charge of Mr. Bryan in re- gard to the “common peopie,” and declared that “the ‘enemy's country” existed only in the imagination of the democratic nominee. In conclusion, the speaker advised all pres- ent to'rally to the support of the McKinley ticket next month, and expressed the belief that republican succdss was already as- sured. fees Lo- ott At this point Mr,..Gurley., requested the entire audience to janin finging “Ameri- ca,” and that nation#i anthem was ren- dered with great “énthusiasin.

Divorce Proceedings: Seem to Have Been Stupper. Maj. George A. Armes,» recently sued for divorce, and which suit was dism'ssed by Mrs. Armes Friday last, today appeared at the City Hall and paid the costs in the case, thus finally closing it. To a Star reporter Maj. Armes explained that while it is true Mrs. Armes dented that she had dismissed the suit, she did 80 because she wished to escape further ap- pearance in the newspapers. The major again declared that~ had .it-not been for outside interference. his wife ‘would never have petitioned for the diverce, the second one applied for by her, within two years. He also claimed that he ‘has been’ harshly treated in the case, and declared that Mrs. Armes has not only dismissed her attor- neys, Messrs. Faust & Tyler, but has also determined ‘to ask his ‘attorneys, Messrs. Les ‘Siddons,'to ask for an account- The following were the readings of the AN OBJECT LESSON Fire Alarm System Still in a Terrible Condition. AT THE MERCY OF FIRES Wires Should Go Under Ground, Says Superintendent Miles. PROBABLE COST THE Although two weeks has elapsed since the violent wind storm visited here and piayed havoc with the overhead wires, the District {s virtually without a system of transmitting fire alarms from any section of the District to the headquarters of the service in the District building. This i formation was given a Star reporter thts morning by Superintendent Miles, who is in charge of the District fire alarin and tele- graph service. The demage, he said, is be- ing repaired as fast as possible, and while a great amount of work has already been dcne, there is still a great amount more to be accomplished before the District will be properly protected in case of fire. At pres- ent, he says, thereris no absolute certainty that a single alarm box will do its work properly, although in the business part of the city a number of connections have been completed. But the wires of private com- panies were also damaged, and in repairing them their wires sometimes get crossed with those of the District, and then it is impossible fcr an alarm to go througi properly. Superintendent Miles estimates that about five hundred miles of wire suffered from the storm, and to replace this and put it in working order is no small task. The regu- lar force of linemen has done good work, the men remaining at work at night and on Sundays. Because of the great demand for linemen, he says he was able to get only a few competent men to work on the lines, and for this reason considerable time Is required. Should weather conditions re- main favorable, he hopes by the end of the week to have the fire-alarm boxes all in good working order again. It was impgssible to get an alarm over the wires from the boxes when the fire in South Washington was discovered yester- day morning, for the reason that the cir- cuit in that section was completely de- moiished. Workmen are engaged on this circuit today. Fortunately, he said, Mr. James Simpson, the operator at headquar- ters, saw the blaze before much headway had Been gained, and he turned in an alarm, guessing at the location of the fire. The damage dene this time, Superie tendent Miles says, is the greatest obj lesson the District has ever seen, and he told the Commissioners Saturday that it is the strongest possible argument for doin; away with overhead wires and puttin them In conduits. He thinks to put all the District wires underground will cost about $400,000, and it is his idea to ask for $100,- 000 at the coming session of Congress. This amourt, he says, will do the work in the central part of the city, and with a simil eppropriation during the next two yea the work can be accomplished. Of course, he prefers that the entire work should be done at once, but thinking Congress will not make so large an appropriation for the work in a lump, he thinks the three- year plan is the next best thing. The Commissioners are heartily in sym- pathy with him in this matter, and wi!l exert all their influence at the coming ses- sion of Congress to right the wreng. When the fire alarm wires are put in Working order the police call box and tele- phone wires will be repaired. At present there are several police precincts without telephonic connection, and the patrol buxes are all out of order, causing considerable end in some cascs dangerous delays in the matter of handling criminals. The putting of the wires under ground, Superintendent Miles says, will be more expensive to the District than it would be to the big telegraph companies, for ein mest instances the companies have big k lies extending directly through the while the District's wires have to con- nect almost every square in the city. —_. BISHOP KEANE’S SUCCESSOR. Three Namen to Be Chosen by the Board of Trustees. Cardinal Gibbons has at last taken official notice of the controversy that is In progress over the deposition of Bishop Keane from the rectorship of the Catholic University and the speculation now being indulged in over the attitude of the board of di- rectors of that institution regarding the selection of a successor to Bishop Keane. He has authorized the publication of the following statement: “Far from ther¢ being any disagreement or antagonism or want of harmony among the members of the board of directors of the university, there is a full and perfect unanimity of s-ntiment and purpose in all that regards the direction and govern- ment, the development and progress of the institution. “In their next meeting there will be only one object and aim, and that will be to select a worthy successor to Bishop Keare, who will labor to secure the best interests of the university In Roman Catholic circles this announce- ment of Curdinal Gibbons is regarded as a direct command upon the trustees of the university to allow nothing in the way of what is known as church politics to enter into the question of determining upon a successor to Bishop Keane. The board will meet at the university October 21, and will select three names to be pre- sented to Pope Leo XIII, who will desig- nate one of the three to be rector of the university. There seems to be an impres- sion that the name of Bishop Keane will be one of the three thus selected, and the announcement the most remote degree what the action of the trustees will be. They may recom- mend either one or both of the names mentioned cr select entirely different per- sons. While the trustees are known to share to a considerable degree the regret expressed by the general public at the de- parture of Bishop Keane, they are also known to cherish a deep and earnest af- fection for the university, and it is de- clared with much emphasis that they will do nothing that would serve to injure in even the slightest degree such a precious possession of the church as the univer- sity. It is stated with much emphasis that the pcpe desires that the new rector of the university shall not be a high dig- nitary of the church, and it is said that all the influence of the papal legation will be brought to secure the selection of the names of priests who have not been par- ties to the recent controversies among the church dignitaries which are believed to have led to the resignation of Bishop Keane. SS Funeral of Gen. Geo. A. Sheridan. ‘The remains of Gen. George A. Sheridan were buried Saturday in the National cem- etery at Arlington, Va. The funeral was private, being followed only by Mrs. Emma M. Sheridan, a sister-in-law, Chaplain Wm. Price, Capt. A. G. Packer, Lieut. W. E. Rogers and a delegation from Burnside Post, No. 8, G. A. R. The funeral party reached the cemetery soon after 10 o'clock, where Chaplain Price conducted the cere- monies. Gen. Sheridan was born in Mill- bury, Mass., February 22, 1841, and died October 7, 1896. During the war he was commissioned captain, 88th Ijlinois Infantry, and was wounded at Chickamauga. After the war he went to Louisiana, and during the re- corstruction period he was sheriff of Car- ! roll parish, city collector of New Orleans, adjutant general of Louisiana and member of Congress from that state in 1874. 3 He was recorder of deeds for the District of Columbia under the Hayes administra- tion.

The Anti-Saloon League revival closed Jast night with a large meeting at Foundry Church. Mr. A. L. Swartwout, secretary of the Central Union Mission, presided over the first part of the meeting, and Mr. Rob- bins of the Centr@f Mission delivered an address full of telling points. Mr, Jesse C. Suter, chairman of the com- mittee of arrangements, announced that the amount taken up in the collections had not been sufficient to pay the expenses of the meetings and that some plan would have to be devised to meet the exigency. He then spoke of the effort the league will make this fall to reduce the number of saloons end with the close of the revival, but a harder fight would be waged than ever before. President James L. Ewin followed with brief remarks about the work the Jeague proposed to do the ensuing license yea: Rev. Luther B. Wilson, first president and now vice president of the Anti-Saloon League, delivered the principal address of the evening. He took for his text, “Go ye into Jerusalem and set a mark on the fore- head of the man who sighs and cries for the abomination therein.” Mr. Wilson spoke earnestly and plainly on temperance work. Saturday Nights Mecting. The Rechabites had charge of the pre- lude to Saturday night's meeting. The opening address was made by John M. Mitchell, high chief ruler of the order, who spoke of the work undertaken by the Rechabites. Rev. Hugh T. Stevenson, pastor of the Anacostia Baptist Church, made a strong speech predicting that the saloon would soon be a thing of the past. Rev. F. D. Powers presided over the second part of the meeting. He brought gzeetings from two organizations in Vir- ginia, who pledged their influence to the Anti-Saloon League in their work. Mrs. Ella Alex Boole of New York, the speaker of the evening, had for her topic, “Turn Off the Faucet.” She made an in- cisive argument. eS Marriage License Marriage licenses have been sued to the {cllowing: White—Jokn E.

Campbell and Matilda ee Bicycles Not Safe From Lightnis From the Wheelman, Electricians, as weil as bicyclers, are much interested in the developments of the death of Cotter Scott, a Chicago wheelman, whe was struck by lightning recently wh hurrying home during a storm. The fa- tality was witnessed by several men who had sought shelter near by. It seems that the lightning struck Mr. Scott on the crown of his head, tearing his cap, shirt and coat to fragments and severely burning his chest and abdomen. It has been generally supposed that the rubber tires of a wheel would render immunity to the rider awhecl from an electric discharge, but as the tires are usually covered with a film of moisture and mud, a conducting path is thus af- forded, which renders the otherwise non- conducting tires comparatively good con- ductors, and the accident shows that they are not to be relied upon as adequate pro- tection against the mighty electromotive force represented in a lightning flash. ——_--+e-+-__.
