It was not, he said, a ease of wealthy rsons buying goods which they did not tend to pay for, but a regular case of shoplifting. Counsel added that he would not read the whole list of articles which it was claimed were stolen, but he begged to call the attention of the magistrate to the fol- lowing: s Jen Articles.

CANTON, Ohio, October 13.—A special train of six coaches arrived this morning, after being en route since 5 o'clock last evening, bearing miners, mechanics and other citizens ef the Lehigh valley of Penn- sylvania. The inclement weather of yes- terday still continues, and the visitors were taken to the tabernacle, where Major Me- Kinley went to receive their greetings. They gave him a most enthusiastic resen- tion, and applauded his address to the echo. The visitors were introduced by ex- Congressman Charles N. Brumm. ™ Bryan in Minnesota, ST. CLOUD, Minn., October 13—Wm. J. Bryan began early this morning on his actual work for this week's campaign. The special “Idler” was pulled out of Min- Reapolis with the Bryan party aboard at 8 o'clock, and in a short time the citizens of the small towns on the Northern Pa- cific road between the twin cities and Du- luth were listening to free silver doctrine as proclaimed by the standard bearer of that principle. Aceccmpanying Mr. and Mrs. Bryen, be- sides the regular party, were Charles A. Towne, candidate for Congress on the democratic-populist and silver party ticket of the sixth district; J. G. Hayter, candi- date for representative from the first Rg- islative district: Mrs. J. G. Hayter, T. T. Hudson, John W. Tcmliason of Alabama and Judge Williams of Carmi, Ill. Shortly after 9 o'clock the- ttle city of Anoka was reached and Mr. Bryan defined the democratic’ platform as much as he could in a three-minute speech. A bunch of McKinleyites had assembled at one end of the depot platform and cheered long, loud and plentifully for the republican nominee. A majority of the crowd cheered Bryan and seemed to try to overecme the demonstration of their political opnonents. At the little-station of Big Lake a few farmers welcomed the nominee. A flag of large proportions and of home make, with a shovel handle as the staff, was waved enthusiastically In front of Mr. Bryan by an excited stalwart farmer as the nominee spoke. a FOREIGN COMPETITION. President Thompson Addresses the National Live Stock Exchange. FORT WORTH, Tex., October 13.—At the morning session of the National Live Stock Exchange teday President Thompson de- livered his annual address. President Thompson said in part: “Up to a few years the producer of this country was successful and prosperous; he entertained no fear of competition from foreign lands: he practically had the mark- ets of the world open to him for the dispo- sition of his vast surplus and at satisfac- tory prices. These conditions becoming ap- parent to foreign consumers they set about to discover if possible some country whose product and surplus could be used to com- pete with ours. It opened new felds for the production of wheat and other cereals. South Africa and other heretofore unde- veloped countries began the raising of wheat and other grains. The producers of New Zealand, Australia, South America and ether countries were soon induced to ture in the, to them, undetermined and questionable experience of finding a mar- ket for their surplus beef and mutton, and to such an extent were their enterprises carried that the receipts of these imports at different foreign markets, In connection with those sent by us, became so great as to cause the price of the same to decline to a point where the European producers be- gan to appeal for legislation to protect their home industry from ruin. “In many sections such prohibitive legis- lation was secured, and our country being the largest producing countr; was the greatest sufferer in consequence. It oc- curs to me that the question as to whether this legislation is just, is not for us to es- pecially consider, but it behooves us to satisfy, ray, convince our European pro- ducers and consumers thaz our live stock and meat food products are the healthiest and best in the world, and that when any distinction is made it should be in favor of our products. : “To those of our friends interested in the sheep industry, I would, with your approv- al. recommend, in order to successfully compete in foreign markets with the sheep raisers of other countries that less atten- tion be paid to wool raising and more to food qualities. It is not particularly a weight and flesh, which latter I believe can, in a great measure, be accomplished by breeding: “We have a good example set us, which we may well imitate, that of the Em#tish shtep raiser, who rough proper breeding and care in feed- produces mution superior to ours in ling and edible qualities, Na investiga- tion and careful study of this question by those immediately interested will, I verily believe, yield results that will be surprising and very satisfaccory to the sucessful breeder, and of great benefit to our indus- try. In’a measure thes? suggestions apply with equal force to the cattle and beef in- dustry. w Z ? “A more thorough study to improve the beef-producing animal, in such a manner as to yield a less amount of fat and greater amount of meat, will result in the producer obtaining an increase in the present mar- ketable value of his animal sufficient to mply repay him‘for the outlay of time and money neceszary to bring about such results. It is these minor details, in the aggregate so essential, that the producer must look to successfully compete with his foreign competitor. eerie ASHORE NEAR CAPE MAY. The Steamer Spartan of the Windsor Line. CAPE MAY, N. J., October 13.—The steamer Spartan of the Windsor line, from Boston for Philadelphia, is ashore on Hereford bar, a few miles above this city. She lies easy. The sea is heavy.

Darlan, at a cabinct council today, submitted reasons for refusing the extra- dition of P. J. P. Tynan, the Irish-Ameri- can alleged dynamiter, now in custody at Boulogne-Sur-Mer. He said that-the evi- dence that Tynan isthe go-called “No. 1” does not prove him to be that individual, and that, even were it Zo, there Is not sufil- cient proof that Tynan was one of the par- ties connected with the Phoenix Park mur- ders. ‘Thirdly, sald M. Darlan, the case is cov- ered by the ten-years-iimit. Consequently, Tynan will he released 80 scen as these decisions are subiaitted to the officials at the British embassy. ——— GREAT BARRINGTON’S FIRE. Loss Caused Probably Amounting to $300,000. GREAT BARRINGTON, Mass., October —A large section of the business portion of this town was destroyed by fire last night, the loss probably amounting to $300,- 000.

CINCINNATI, Ohio, October 13.—A spe- cial to the Commerctal Tribune from Par- kersburg, W. Va., says: Plersall and Pence applied to Judge Hoke at Grafton, W. Va., for an injunction to prevent the carrying out of fusion between the new committee and the democrats, upon the allegations that the fusion fac- tion is illegally organized, and that the proxy of M. M. Cullom, used by them to obtain a quorum, was a forgery. Should the injunction be granted, fusion ts at an end.

TALKS 10 THE WIVES AND MOTHERS pg Why They Are Interested in the Present Campaign. GOLD STANDARD DENOUNCED MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., October 13.—Per- | haps the most unique feature of .Mr. Bryan's visit to Minneapolis was his ad- dress last night at the Lyceum Theater, to an audience made up exclusively of women and presided over by a woman. There were 2,000 women present, and Mrs. Frank‘ Valash presided. When Mr. Bryan arrived, | about 10 o’clock, the ladies arose en masse, waved their handkerchiefs and flags, .clap- ‘ped their hands and called his name—in fact, did everything men might have done, except give three cheers and a tiger. Mr. Bryan sald: : “Ladies: This is a novel @xperience, not only new in that I am unaccustomed ‘to addressing an audience of ladies, entirely, but also new in that I have to compete against another ‘boy orator.’ (Laughter apd applause). I believe this is the fipgt political meeting where a candidate has 44- dressed his remarks to ladies entirely in the discussion of an economic question, and yet I offer no apology. On the con- trary, I deem it not only a great privilege but a great honor. My experience teaches me that the mother and the wife are im- portant parts of the family. (Applause). In fact, I would rather have the wife on my side in the beginning of a campaign than to have the husband, if I could only have one. (Applause). “And I will tell you why. Because if I have the wife, I am almost sure to have the husband before the campaign is over; and if I only have the husband, I am never sure of him. (Laughter and ap- plause). ‘ “A lady who was canvassing down in Nebraska the other day gave utterance to one of the best things which I think this campaign has enjoyed. She was canvass- ing and called at our house to get some literature on the silver question to circulate as she went from place to place, and while there she said that she had a brother who’ was a gold man, without gold. (Laughter). She gaid she could understand how a man could be a gold man who had gold, but she, could only pity the gold man who was without gold. (Applause and laughter). “And you know, my friends, that that is the condition in which a large majority of the gold men are—gold men without gold, and when you find the gold man without gold you can find one whom you can con- vert, because while the geld standamd !s a good thing for a few in the gold standard is the great mass of the people, and the treason why our cause grows from day! to day is found in the fact that the ar- guments in behalf of bimetallism appeal to the heads and hearts of the American peo- ple and the gold standard only appeals to the heartless. (Applause.) ’ “The reason why the mothers are taking such an interest in this campaign, the rea! son why the wives are feeling a deeper in- terest than they usually feel is because they are becoming acquainted with the gold standard. They know that instead of it being a just measure of deferred payments the gold standard has become a measure of deferred hopes, and hope deferred mak- eth the heart sick. : “This money question is not too deep to be understood by an American citizen) every great political question is first a great economic question and every great econo: question Is at last a great moral question. Questions are not settled until the right and wrong of the question are determined. Questions are not settled until people grasp the fundamental principle, and when those this country, principles are fully comprehended then the [ people settle the question and they settle it for a generation. The people are study- ing this question, studying it as they have not studied it before; aye, studying ft as they have not studied any question before in your l:fetime or mine; and study leads to understanding. But to study you must commence at the bottom and study up. + First Great Principle. .,.,, “Now, what is ‘the first great principle? It is the value of a dollar depends on the number of dollars. You can make dollars dearer or cheaper by changing the quanti- ty. Now, this is a simple proposition. It is fundamental, and when you have studied it and when you have understood it, you understand the money question. Suppose that we were walled in and had enough wheat in the Inclosure to last us a years and taking supply and demand into con- sideration, wheat was worth a dollar a’ bushel; and suppose that the wheat was. gathered into two great piles and one-wo- man owned one pile and another woman owned another pile, and suppose that the, owner of this pile of wheat should read in, the papers that the pile of wheat had been destroyed by fire, and that the people, ‘in-+ stead of having both piles for their year’s supply, must all be fed from this pile. Now,’ what would be the result? Every bushel of, wheat in this pile would rise in value. Why? Because the demand for wheat re- mained the same and the supply of wheat Is cut in two; now, what is the second thing you learn? That the lady who owns: this pile of wheat will profit by the rise in wheat. And what is the third? She will be glad that it was the other pile of wheat that burned instead of hers. (Applause.) “Now, that is a simple question. Let me apply It to silver. We have about four bil- licns of silver money and about four bil- licns of gold money in the world. Suppose we destroy one pile and make the other pile do the service of both. What is the result? The demand for money remains the same and the supply of money is cut in two. The result must be that the value of each dollar wiil rise. The people who own the money or who own contracts payable in dollars, profit by the rise, and they are glad of the rise. (Applause and laughter.) What the Gold Standard Means, “The gold standard means dearer money, and dearer money means cheaper property, and cheaper property means hard times;, hard times means more people out of work; more people out of work means more peo-: ple destitute; more people destitute means more people desperate; more people desper- ate means more criminals. S “It has been said that woman is the con- science of the human race, and I indorse the proposition. I believe that women can grasp the great principles of justice and ean detect right from wrong probably with more clearness, more quickly, than: men, because they are not svrrounded by so many of the influences which may pre- vent an understanding of the truth of these questions. And I want to appeal to you women, you women who are intcrested in your sons and your daughters, I want you to look well before you pass your infiu- ence on the side of a gold standard, which may mean more wealth for the few, but. which must mean more poverty and mi ery for the many. (Applause.) “And remember this: You can’t live for yourselves alone; you can’t control the. destinies of those you love; if you could provide against all contingencies of the future, if you could leave them money and be sure in the remotest generation. that money would protect them frcm want and injury, you might feel indifferent, but,. my friends, you can’t do it. There is only one thing that is sure to be left them;: leave them good government; that instead of giving favors to the few will protect every one in the enjoyment of love of lib- erty and pursuit of happiness, and you have given to your children the richest heritage. (Applause.) bi Charged to the Gold Standard. “The cities have not felt the pinch of the gold standard as quickly as the country has, and when you, mothers and wives, are. enjoying the comforts of life, I want you to give ore moment’s thought to the moth-: ers and wives throughout this land whose lot has been made harder and whose life has been made darker by the gold stand- ard; you may read its history and you will find that the gold standard never brought a ray of hope to those who sit in darkness; the gold standard never gave inspiration to those who are dowrcast. According to Mr. Carlisle, when he spoke in 1878, the consummation of this scheme to destroy half the money of the world a bad thing- for}: sultinmately entail upon: the frumman race- more of misery than all-the nd pes- tilences and famines that savek decurredr in the history of the human race. - “I believe he was right. Go into the homeg where. the mortgage has been fore- clcsed; go into the:homes where the hus- band.and wife started out with that lauda- ble ambiticn-to own a home, where they paid-dewn with what they had saved and expected to be able to pay the balance, but wigdevthe -gold standard: aad times property has failen, work become scarce and-they have given up those homes,, and then remember, my friends, that all they have lost has been~gained by , those who hold a fixed indebtedness or trade in money and profit by the adverstties-of the,| people. (Applause.) “Do you think that this ‘condition’ can last? No, my friends, no condition of bordage was ever permanent:. ‘Fhe task- master has always thought that if he cculd just stop complaint those in his cus- tedy would be saved, but you can’t stop cecmplaint until you take“away' the cifuse | of.complaint, and the taskmaster is never wise enough ‘to see that’ while ‘the’ com- plaint laste.there wilkalways be agitation. “You tell me that the gold standard can be permanent My frienda I haye got to change my opinion of the Almighty’s love before I will ever believe that He intended the human race to toii while a few should gzow fat by taxing them. .(Applause.) You tell me that civilization must result !n driving the extremes of society farther apart? No, it Was never so. ““Whet?'we'talk about the common people, and by them I mean the great mass of the People who do not:assume. to be-uncommon, we are called demagogues, and yet, my friends, the common people have given to this world all that is good. The common people have given to society all that is val- uable,. Every. reform-has come up from beneath. It has never come from the well- te-do..of. saciety. (Applause.) Do not de- spise these people. The- Bible tells you thet. when-Christ preached, those who de- voured widows’ houses would turn Him out, ,| but the common people heard Him gladly, and yet, my friends, it 1s the common peo- ple.whom they tell you today are 10t capa- ble of self-government. The Commen People. “I tell you that the common people of this nation are the only portion of it who will’ deYend “democratic institutions in this land... (Applause.) It is the common peo- ple who appreciate our form of govern- ment. It isthe common people who pro- duce the wealth in time of peace, and It is the common people and they alone that in tine of war are willing to offer their lives in their nation’s defense. Don’t, my friends, despise,them. Don't question their capacity for government. Don't doubt thelr good intent. Don’t say when they cry out for relief they had no cause. “I beg you to realize that we are pass- ing through a crisis in human affairs. This 1s no little contest. We have arrayed in the contest on either side the great forces of society. Against us are those forces which are strong and who are considered influenced with money,wealth and.position, .| PUL OD gur.side is simply justice. “We are opposed to trusts. We want your sons to be permftted to enter life with an even chance, without being favorites of some great monopoly. We want your chil- dren and our children to have an equal chance in the race for Ife and not be crowded out by these great organizations of wealth, which are trampling upon the rights of men. We want this nation to be ; whet’ our ‘forefathers interded.. (Applause.) Battle for Mankind. “This battle is fought not here afone;"It is fought for mankind. “We'fight upon the hilt top and all the people are watching to see on which side victory shall come. Show me a‘man who is oppressed, who is suffering from the effects of vicious legis- latiep: show me a man who has conti- dence in the tuture of the human nace amt I will show you a man who cares not where he lives, who is offering up a silent prayer for our Success. (Loud applause.) Show me the Phdraohs of the world who could make those ‘under them make bricks with- out straw; show me the oppressor; show me those privileged classes entrenched be- hind ‘laws of favorftism and I will show you people-who eare not in what nation they live, who are not ‘onfy sympathizing with, but-.willing to send money to help our opponents. fasten the ‘géld ‘standard upon the American people.” (Applause.) ——— THE COURTS.

The first business meeting of the en- eampment will be convened at the Buiklers’ Exchange Hall tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock, and will in all probability be con- fined to the reception of reports of the various national officers and the committees of the organization. The election of na- tional officers for the coming year promises to be interesting, and considerable cam- paigning is being indulged in by the friends of the various aspirants for the positions. The candidates to succeed National Com- mander James are numerous, but those most prominently mentioned in that_con- nection are Thomas J. McGinley of Phila- delphia, the present junior vice national commander of the legion; J. J. Callahan of Encampment No. 97 of Buffalo, N. Y., past senior vice national commander, and John T. Donahoe of Encampment No. 34, Wil- mington, Del, who is an aid-de-camp on the national staff. Great pressure was brought to bear upon Senior Vice National Commander W. S. Norcross of Lewiston, Me., to become a candidate to the national commandership, and had he consented to fill the office there is little doubt expressed that he would have been elected unani- mously, as he was last year to the office which ‘he at present holds. Commander Norcross, however, has been a national offi- cer of the legion for four years, and in- sists upon retiring, so he will not allow his name to be considered in this connection. J. H. Carpenter of Pennsylvania is a can- didate for junior vice national commander, and Lieut. Col. Thomas G. Herron, M. D. of Encampment No. 41, Cincinnati, Ohio, is regarded as a strong candidate for the surgeon generalship of the legion. Reception Tonight at Willard’s.

SPECULATING ON THE POLITICAL FIGHT Se ees The Outcome Viewed in More Op- timistic Light Than Heretofore. GENERAL MARKET REPORTS — Special Dispatch to The Evening Star. NEW YORK, N. Y., October 13.—To- day stock market opened strong un- der the infiuenee of hopeful political for cas and the satisfactory progress of th London settlements. The foreign demand for the more active international railroad issues suggested the presence of a large short interest in these securities. Prices were bid up in the local market in conse- quence of the urgency of the demand, the advances from the opening level excved- ing a full point jn many instances. A fractional decline in the early price of consols and the engagement of £160,444) in sold bars and American eagles increases the probability of an advance in the Bank discount rate Thursday. The prospect of dear money in European money centers is reflected in nearly all of the more conspicuous speculative issues. The inflation period has terminated and liquida- tion on a more or less extensive scale 1s anticipated. The outcome of the political strugg’ three weeks, hence, was viewed in a moré optimistic light than heretofore, and trad. ers were.disposed to favor the long account for quick results. Outside buying was not attracted by the change if sentiment, how- r, and prices yielded slightly at the first Indication of profit-taking. Fractional declines were sufficient to attract renewed buying and go atguaeat worthy of serous consideration was advanced in justifica- tion of shoft sales. The least risk in the present complex situation is conceded to be in the long account, but tmmediate pation is not essential to proti-abl ults. ‘The market is likely to remain solely under the influence of the professional ele- ment until the people's verdict on the meney question is recor: The bulk of the stocks carried over the election will, in all likelihood, be found in the long account, but this fact does not insure any material improvement in the present average level during the remainder of the campaign. Private fertunaies may be looked to after the public honor is vindicated, and with gieater success, per cent advance in American To- b was the most conspicuous feature of the day’s trading. The absence of any tangible evidence on which to base the improvement resulted in its being attrib- to skillful manipulation on the part the management. The covering of short contracts in American Sugar forced a mod- erate advance in the price of that stock.
