The full list of committees for the race meet to be held at Columbian Field Oc- tober 31 for the benefit of the Eugene Field monument fund was completed at a meeting held in the parlors of the Riggs House last night, and the only thing that remains is for the different organizations connected with the affair to get to work ané finish up the details. Two general com- mittees, those of the business men of the city and of the press, were appointed some few days ago, and the subcommittees ap- pofhted last night were but the outgrowth from these two central bodies. The meet itself, under the particu- lar charge of Mr. Cabrera, will be one of the most successful held here this year, from a racing point ot view, as all of the best cracks of the city have signified their intention oi entering and competing for the handsome prizes. The financial end of the affatr wil! not be overlooked, however, in the en. Geavor to make the affair & success from a sporting point of view, and the business men’s committee will spare no pains to sec that the contribution made to the monu- ment’fund from this source is worthy of cons!deration. The prizes which have, so far been do- nated for the meet, although the work has Just been started, show that a most grati- fying amount of interest is being taken in the mect by the merchants of the city. Those already secured include a lady's bi- cycle suit, by Raner; a Winchester rifle, by Tappan; a stand-of silk club colors, by Copelard: a mandolin, by Sanders & Stay- man; a gentleman's satchel, by Becker; a gold medal, by Harris; a bicycle suit, by Parker, Bridget & Co., and various articles from Beveridge, Perry's, Cline Brothers, Moore & Leding, Kimon Nicolaides and others. Prizes will also be sent from Chi- cago, and will be placed on exhibition in a short time. Others will be secured In a short while, and the winners of the differ- ent events October 81 will have a varied and rich assortment of articles to choose from. ‘The business men's committee, which. will have charge of the general financial suc- cess of the meet, consists of Col. Ed. B. Hay, Mr. Charles Cabrera, Mr. C. A. Wil. son, Mr. Sam Steinmetz, Dr. W. A. Croftut. Maj. Edwin J. Sweet, Mr. Jack Thompson, Mr. Percy Foster, Mr. Isaac Gans, Mr-Wiil- and Sir.

The work of preparing the list of has been left in charge of Mr. c tasted Tera and Mr. Sam Stetnmeta, and these two gentlemen will prepare the list and is- sue entry blanks at once. The other com. mittees named at the meeting at the Riggs House last night were as follows: Prine committee —Isaac Gans, George Lewis, Geerge Kent, and Mrs. Cora Bell Brows: advertising committee—W. A. Hunger. ford, S. M. Goldsmith and Frank Pierce; ticket committee—Major Edwin J. Sweet, Mr. E. B. Hay, Miss Lancaster and Miss McCarthy; music committee—Percy 8 Foster, A. Tregina and I. L.

Society people generally will he intereste in the meet, and every effort will be senda by those harge to have the affair prove @ success In every sense of word. The greatest amount of interest is veing taken in the project by the racing men of the city, as weil as those interested ip the sport irom a spectator’s point of view, and every indication points to the realization of the highest hopes cf the committees in charge of the meet. Form the Baltluore Sun, Orioles to Sail om Cattle Ships. From three-time champions of the world and Temple cup winners to cattlemen, on a cattle ship, is quite a drop in the soctal and professional scale, but that is the condition of those members of the Baltimore club who finally decided to go to Europe on 4 Pleasure trip. After announcing positively and ‘rather ostentatlously to everybody that they were to leave for their homes in Moosic, Pa., and Boston, on Thursday night, Kelley and Jen- pings and pernaps Keeler slipped down to Locust Point yesterday morning and shipped on the Johnston liner Ulstermore, as cattlemen, bound for Liverpool. McGraw and Pond have signed as cattlemen on the 3ndran!, for Glasgow. Keeler may sail on the Storm King Saturday. MacBriggs Wins at Newmarket.

Tre principal event on the card will be “Jimmy” Antheny’s attempt to best :wo men in six rounds cach. Anthony is the clever Austrahan bantam weight. If ke succeeds ‘n his undertaking tonight he wiil go east to meet the best men in his class, and perhaps to England to have a go with “Peddiar’ Palmer. An interesting event wil be that between Gus Herget and Lon Agnew of Chicago of ten rounds. Agnew is a protege of Joe Choy:nsk!, a shifty boxer and a hard hitter. He fights at 135 pounds. In style he very much resembles Choy.nski. The other contests will be be- tween “Billy” Shannon and Billy Lewis, middieweights. é CINCINNATY, Ohio, October 16.—Austral- lan Billy Murphy has posted with Harry Weldon of the Enquirer $10) to back $00 a side in @ sweeping chatienge to fight to a limited rounds any bantam or teatherweight in the world.

NO RESPECT FOR THE THIRD TICKET Largely Attended Meeting Last + Night in Baltimore. POINTS IN THE ADDRESS A gathering of between four and five thousand persons listened to Senator Gor- man's speech defending the Chicago: plat- form in Music Hall, Baltimore, last night. Senator Gorman walked out upon the stage arm in arm with Senator Morgan.of Ala- bama. Senator Morgan took the place of Senator Faulkner, who couldn’t be present. Mr. Archibald H. Taylor was introduced as chairman of the meeting by Congress- man Harry Welles Rusk. Mr. Taylor spoke and then introduced Senator Gorman, who spoke at length. Senator Morgan then spoke for forty min- utes. He was followed by Mr. Thomas C. Weeks, candidate for Congress from the third district. Recent National Issues. Senator Gorman spoke in part as follows: “Mr. President and Fellow Democrats of Maryland: I would not be frank did I not tell you how much I appreciate this cordial greeting. I would be unjust to you did I not interpret it to mean that it is the only way, for the moment, in which you can ex- press your determination to support the democratic nominee (applause), and that it is the way that you have of manifesting your approval of one of your party fellows who never turns his back on the foe of the democratic party. (Applause.) - “I lay down the general proposition that no matter which party controls this gov- ernment, the Union will be maintained, its purity will be preserved, and any party who would act otherwise would be abso- iutely- obliterated. (Applause.) “That being the case, when an election is over the minority must submit absolutely to the control of the majority when that will is expressed. (Applause.) “There 1s, however, fellow citizens, a vast difference between the parties that seek to control your government. The republican party is composed of the followers of Ham- slton, and it is in favor of a strong central- ized government. We of the democratic party are the followers of Jefferson. (Ap- plause.) We believe in local gelf-govern- ment (applause) and as little Titerference by federal legislation with the rights of the people in their avocations as is consistent with law and order. (Applause.) “Now, let no voter suppose for a moment that either of the great parties stands for a single idea. If he attaches himself to a party it must be because, in the main, that Party’s doctrine suits his ideas of the con- trol and management of public affairs. It is true that at each recurring presidential election some prominent present question is brought to the fore of the discussion, and in many cases the determination of the election Is brought about by a gle ques- tion. But the other great questions which divide the parties are not dead; they are only laid aside for a moment in the discus- sfon. g a “In 1884 taxation and extravagant ex- penditures by the republican party was the | indictment we framed against that party and won the election. (Applause.) “In 1888 it was protection against’ free- dom of trade. “In 1802 it was freer trade and the rig’ of the states against unjust taxation by the McKinley bill and the force bill of Lodge and McKinley. (Applause.) “In 1896, the contest in which we are en- gaged now,.the great question that a been brought to the fore is the one of cur- rency and the influences of corporation in the contro] .of oyr. elections.. (Applause.) We ativocate the election of Bryan end Se- wall. (Applause, long and cotitinved.) But ‘we do not support them stmply because they are the regular nom:nees. We support them because they represent the great prin- ciples for which the demogratic! party stands. Belting Democrats. “If there are any—and I am told by the public prints that there are some—who have formerly been with the democratic party, but who now prefer McKinley to Bryan (hisses) let them go in peace. (Voices, ‘Give it to them. We don’t want them.’) “I treat all the men who support McKin- ley and Hobart or Palmer and Buckner as first and second degree republicans. (Laugh- ter and applause, long continued.) ‘he first are the supporters of McKinley, who have the courage of their convictions, and I honor them as- American citizens. (Ap- plause.) halting, hesitating, cow- “The limping, ardly fellows who go only half way can have no respect from anybody. (Applause.) Do I do them en injustice? (Cries of ‘No, no; thet’s right!) Do you want any proof? (Applause.) Do you want any proof that it is all one concern? If you do, turn to their organ, and you will find that there are two branches of bolting democrats in Maryland Gaughter); one that has a committee of seventy and the other that has a committee without number. (Laughter and applause.) The one supports outright Mr. McKinley, and the other follows that poor old ticket that was nominated at Indianapolis. (Ap- plause and hisses.) “Their organs say they have found—I take it in great deliberation—they have found a satisfactory method of working harmoniously for Bryan's downfall, each along its own line. (Applause and laugh- ter.) (A voice, ‘They can’t do it.’) “Now, all these republicans and the men that I have described charge the demo- cratic party with all sorts of crimes. That is nothing new to democrats. (Laughter and applause.) What they have not charged us with in the past I do not know. All the adjectives that have ever been coined to suit the English language have been hurled against us from Jefferson’s time until now. (Applause.) They do not abuse Bryan any more than they abused Jefferson and Jack- son (applause), and yet the democratic party has outlived all its traducers and elected its candidates who were thus op- posed, and placed their stamp of approval upon the great acts that the democratic party have performed. (Applause.) “Not a singie great movement that has tended to elevate the masses or relieve them from unjust legislation or unjust con- ditions has ever been obtained in the United States except through the demo- cratic party.” (Applause.) After referring to the present industrial and financial condition of the country, Sen- ator Gorman continued: Remedies Suggested. “Now, my friends, I would not be frank with you, and I have made it a rule all my Ufe to always be frank with the people and sive them my best judgment (applause), if I did not tell you that whije much, oh, very much, can be had in the way of relief by congressional action, the present conditions, which have been the growth of years and to which the faulcy legislation of the re- publican party who have controlled your government contributed much, yet witi that faulty legislation and with other con- ditions of the charge in trade and com- arerce and the mode of conducting affairs touch of the trouble that embarrasses us cannot be controlled at once directly by legislation. (Appiause.) “Now, I accord to the masses of the re- publican party just aa nwch honesty in Purpose and interest in their affairs as I do to the democrats. “What is promised now to the people of each of these great parties? The republi- cams say to you, and that !# about all they do say, that reiief will come to you at once and prosperity will be assured if you per- mit them to continue for four years more upon the statute books those laws which bave brought you to your present helpless cciditicn. (Appiause.) No what- ever ts promised in your currency laws by them, unless by some’ stroke of good for- ‘That you have not been the Iast four years, or the last three democra: the 23 reducsd taxa- gogo gin the taxes by incr tha ocr on ool te be tunposted 4 Hethis ccuntry. That is a phase of 9 a American people have already had more than and we will never ive them he opportunity to do it “The dem party says that the present financial system in {ts entirety is not satisfactory; that it enables a few to be enriched at the of the many. (Applause.) Therefore, we say that the currency laws, of which were enacted by the republicad|varty, must be modified (applause): e structure shall be so eniarged that s shall be used with gold on equal terms at the rate of sixteen to one. (Applause jlong continued.) “Second—The demccrats hold that the present tariff not be materially dis- turbed, tut that the Tevenue laws shall be only umended to make tp the defi- ciency caused {the decision of the Su- Preme Court in the income tax cases. (Ap- plavse.) z “Third—Feeling as we do, and as is the fact, under the present tariff, there is all the protection’ necessary to make up the difference betwcen the cost of labor in Eng- land or any other civilized country and our- selves, to protect our people (applause), and under it our trade has prospered to a great- er extent than it has under any tariff bill since 1877." (Applause.) Senator Gorman rapidly reviewed the history of silver legislation, the money leg- islation of the war, and claimed that ~he republican party was responsible for it all. Referring to the Matthews resolution of 1878 declaring government vbligations pay- able In silver as well as gold, he sa‘d: “Now, when the democratic party comes before the people with this history it says we are in favor of doing prec‘saly what the Stanley Matthews resolution said in Hayes’ time, and we are in favor of joing it be- cause every republican in Congress, in- cluding John Sherman and McKinley, voted for that very proposition. (Great appiavse.) The State Platform. Senator Gorman then undertook to defend himseif from the charge of inconsistency, saying: “I have been reminded from the sublic prints from this very stand by an old and valued friend—one whom I shell always es- teem, no matter what political course he may pursue, for he has been a noble ond faithful democrat and a good citizen of the state—that I supported and advocated resolutions at the state convention from which we sent delegates to Chicaya in- structing those delegates to support the gold standard. (Laughter.) Oh, no, my friends. fhe resolutions of the Maryland Gemocracy have always been for the noney ‘of the Constitution, both gold and silver. (Great applause.) “We proposed, in conformity with the action of the party that dealt with that subject, to be moderate and conservative, to go there and present our views and not take a radical step all at once. Lut we went there to a national convention thet was the court of final resort. We went there, as I supposed, to counsel with our fellows, and present our view3, aad if we were fairly defeated to subm:t to the decree of that convention. (Applause.) “Well, there were two-thirds of the dem- ocrats that were against the Maryland idea, or,at least,part of the Maryland idea, Ought we submit to a national convention? (A voice: Yes.) Can we keep up a party or- ganization in any other way? Is it not the keystone, the corner stone, of this gov- ernment, of ours that the majority, when they have fairly expressed their opinion, must rule?’ (Applause.) Senator Gorman quoted Mr. Cleveland's words in 1892 in favor of loyalty to party. He pointed out that after the passaxe of the Bland-Allison bill in 1878 eastern pa- pers predicted disaster, and sunsequently admitted that prosperity had come. Mr. Gorman declared that the eastern press were just as mistaken now as then. The Railways. “One-fourth of all the railroads in the United States are,in the hands of receiv- fve it to Cowen.’ Ap- Lay “When the managers of these great cor- )porations come tg us and say we want you ‘to continue the present condition of af- fairs we reply: ,¥ou have had it for twen- ty-threé years and you have bankrupted yourselves and are! trying te bankrunt ev- erybody else. (Applause.) ‘Their opinions on public questPoris tre of no earthly value. “Take the strangest case there is in the United States. We have it in Maryland. No sune man Believemthat any of the managers of the B. ang 0. would intentionally cut dowh it# revénites’tosuchan extént as to destroy thi glad worth 240: Ye wade now. ughter.) “Ht they will peryott ajsuggestion from a folitician (laughter), let me say to them that #t™would’be wise for them: to become sclvent before they pretend to control the finances of a free people. (Great applause and cries of ‘Hot stuff’ and ‘tlitee cheers for Gorman,’ which were given.) [ com- mend to them that law that is laid down in the Book of Books, that ‘No man can serve.two masters, for either he will hate the one and love:the other, or he will hold to the one and despise the other.’ (Great applause.) ‘Phygycian; heal thyself.” (Ap- plause.) y Supreme Coart. “But they say that you are not only repu- diators, but that we intend secession (laugh- ter); that we will try to break up the goy- ernment and destroy the only safety valve we have; that we have attacked the Su- prerne Court of the United States. “Why, fellow citizens, can it be that any considerable number of Americans believe that any of the great co-ordinate branches of this government are above criticism by the people? No, no! No matter what views on the finances a man may have, they are not above the criticism of the people. “The republicans complain ef our criti- cism of the Supreme Court, when they be- gan their life with the criticism of the Su- prerae Court. (Applause.) No set of men have ever criticised that court more harsh- ly when its decisions have been against them than the-repuolican party. The one man who is the great light of that party— and he was a grcat American, he made that party — Abraham Lincoln, criticised it. (Great applause.) “It is said by the best writers, both Amer- ican and English, that probably the one weak spot in our government is the fact that the Constitution does not provide against increasing the number of judges of the Supreme Court; that it ought to be cor- rected. Why do they charge us with an attempt of that kind when we have never said anything of the kind, and when cur candidate simply says that he never in- tended to convey such an ided? I[t is be- cause the republican party did it them- selves. (Great laughter.) Income Tax. “Now we come to another decision, re- versing the decision of a hundred years in regard to the income tax, another taxing power which was necessary during the war, and the Supreme Court decided that to te unconstitutional. The democratic party now says in a modest way that that was a great outrage, and that as soon as w2 can, under the Constitution and by legitimate efforts, we will have that reversed; tha: the de- cision of the Supreme Court from the day of Marshall down {o 1894 shall be re-estab- lished as the law’ cf the land. (Appiause.) If 1 had time I would read you what the justices of the J ypreme Court themselves say in rendering decision. One of them, a republican, nae oe by @ republican ad- ministration, said; “if this new of the Constitution— that is, against {he inoome tax—as I be- lieve it to be, if this new departure from the safe way marked out by the fathers and so long follo' by this court, ts justi- fied by the fundamental law, the American people cannot Ce amend their Con- stitution.’ (Applailse.) “And 80 say “democratic party. We will stand, my fridhds, 4s we have always stood, a party that!will guard the rights of the great massed! of our countrymen. (Ap- Plause.} We will stand now, as we stood in the war of 1812 ;when the party said to : ‘You cannot dominate us now.’” of: zhig., stock, | It::was| Joint Debate.

GOLDENBERG’S, 926-928 7th-706 K Sts. THREATENED TO WRECK HER. Big Guns on the Indiana Broke Loose im the Gale.. All hands were busy yesterday on the United States battle ship Indiana, at anchor off Tompkinsville, 8. I., trying to right the injury which was done to her turrets b. the fierce gale of last Monday night, says today’s New York Journal. Every “cheese bex"* on the vessel had gone wrong. The two thirteen-inch turrets had broken their clamp bexes and the eight eight-inch ones had torn loose from their hold buckles and had swung as the sea listed, the great guns sweeping th: rails away from the deck and the smaller ones banging at a damaging rate against the superstructure. The superstructure is not much, but the officers of the Indiana say an entirely new system of locking gear will have to be con- structed to prevent the ship being damaged or perhaps sunk when she. meets a gale similar to the one of Monday. All the turrets revolve on wheels on a track which is firmly welded to the bar- bette. The barbette is stationary, circular like the turret and firm with the deck. The gunner is able to direct nis fire to any point by means of sieam. if a full head of sceam had been on Monday the turrets wouid not have been damaged, but it was thought the clamps would be sutticient. Attached to the turret is what is called the clamp box. It is made of steel almost an inch thick on ends and sides, and is hol- jow. It has a jaw set with highly tempered teeth. By turning a wheel in the mner section another jaw arises from the fixed barbette and the teeth of the latter dove- tail with those of the former. There are several of these combinations on each of the thirteen-inch turreis. This ponderous mass proved too much for the clamp boxes when the ship gave a lurch, and they were crushed. ‘The teeth, thus being released, the turrets rolled on the wheels wherever the preponderating weight of the guns took them. The amount of steam on hand was not sufficient to control the machinery, and the only way to prevent disaster was to capture the gunc with hawsers and tie them to the superstructure and deck fittings. This was done after hours of work. The eight-inch turrets were fasiened by a buckling system, end all the buckles broke. The officers: of the Indiana yesterday praised the work done by Chief Gunner William Walsi, who has been twenty years in the service. While the big gun in the fcrward part of the ship was lurching to and fro, he stood within the turret at the immediate risk of his life, and coolly di- rected the work of the men. He possibly saved the Indiana from total destruction. Walsh said yesterday that the ship would likely go to the navy yard. “She will cer- tainly be fitted witn a new system of lock- ing gear,” he added. “The damage cannot be repaired in a short time.” It was found necessary yesterday to am- putate the right leg of Night Ensign G. 8. Galbraith, which was fractured by a bat- tledoor during the gale. The operation was performed in a hospiti Court-Martial at Fort Myer.

Yesterday’s session of the International Typographical Union at Colcrado Springs was the most important that has been held since the conyention opened. The following officers were chosen: Presi- dent, W, B. Prescott of Toronto, Ontario, re-elected: secretary-treasurer, John W. Bramwood of Denver; first vice president, Theodore Perry of Nashville, Tenn.; second vice prcs‘dent, George W. Williams of Bos- ton; third vice president, Hugo Miller of Indianapolis, re-elected. The following delegates to the American Federation of Labor, which meets at Cin- cinnati December 8, were chosen:-Ed Hirsch of Baltimore, Dan J. Sullivan of New York and Frank Morrison of Chicago. Six district organizers were elected to look after the interests of the Interna- tional Typographical Union in the sixteen districts into which the United States and Canada are divided. The trustees for the Childs-Drexel Home for Infierm Printers at Colorado Springs were elected as follows: L. C. Shepard of Grand - Rapids, Mich.; James J. Daly of Philadelphia, Thomas McCaffery of Colo- rado Springs and J. W. White of Kansas City. The most mportant item of business transacted by the convention yesterday was the passing of the nine-hour labor law. An effort to pass an eight-hour law was defeated. The nine-hour law has now to be voted on by every typographical union in the country before its final adoption. In 1886 such a law passed the international convention, but was defeated when pre- sented to the various typographical unions. The members of the union unanimously voted $2,500 to prosecute the boyeott which Unior No. 8) of Kansas City, Mo., has de- clared against a publishing firm of that city. Syracuse was chosen ~as the place of meeting in 1898. +05 McKINLEY ON PROTECTION. Gives the Reasons for His Hele in a High Tarif.
