The activity of our people and their rest- less desire to gather to themselves es} tal benefits and advantages lead to the growth of an unconfessed tendency to regard their government as the giver of private gifts, and to look upon the agencies for its ad- ministration as the distributors of official places and preferment. Those who in uni- versity or college have had an opportunity to study the mission of our institutions, and who in the light of history have iearned the danger to a people of their ne- glect of the patriotic care they owe the na- tional life intrusted to their keeping, should be well fitted to constantly admonish their fellow-citizens that the usefulness and benefice: of their pian of government can only be preserved through their unsel- fish and loving support, and their contented willingness to aecept in full return the peace, protection and opportunity which it impartially bestows. Not more surely do the rules of honesty and good faith fix the standard of individ- ual character in a community than do these same rules determine the character a tanding of a nation in the world of civilization. Neither the glitter of its power, nor the tinsel of its commercial prosperity, nor the gaudy show of Its peo- ple’s wealth, can conceal the cankering rust of national dishonesty, and cover the meanness of national bad faith. A con- stant siream of thoughtful, educated men should come from our universities and col- leges, preaching national honor and integ- rity, and teaching that a belief in the ne- cessity of national obedience to the laws of God is hot born of superstition. Without Partisanship. I do not forget the practical necessity of political parties, nor do I deny their de- sirability. I recognize wholesome differ- ences of opinion touching legitimate gov- ernmental policies, and would by no means control or limit the utmost freedom in their discussion. I have only attempted to sug- gest the important patriotic service which our institutions of higher education and their graduates are fitted to render to our pecple in the enforcement of those immu- table truths and fundamental principles which are related to our national condition, but should never be dragged into the field ot political strife nor impressed into the service of partisan contention. When the excitement of party warfare presses dangerously near our national safe- guards, I would have the intelligent con- servatism of our universities and colleges warn the contestants in impressive tones against the perils of a breach impossible to repair. When popular discontent and passion are stimulated by the arts of designing par- usans to a pitch pertlously near to class tred or sectional anger, I would have our universities and colleges sound the alarm in the name of American brother- hood and fraternal dependence. When the attempt is made to delude the People into the belief that their suffrages ¢an change the operation of natural laws, I would have our universities and colleges proclaim that those laws are inexorable and far removed from polittcal control. Patrietie Love of Country. When selfish interest seeks undue private benefit through governmental ald, and pub- lic places are claimed as rewards of party service, I would have our universities and colleges persuade the people to a relin- quishment of the demand for party spoils and exhort them to a disiaterested and patriotic love of their government for is own sake, and because in its true edjust- ment and unperverted operation it secures to every citizen his just share of the safety and prosperity it holds in store for all. When a design is apparent to jure the people from their honest thoughts and to blind their eyes to the sad plight of na- tional dishonor and bad faith, I would have Princeton University, panoplied in her patriotic traditions and giorious memories, and joined by all the other universities and colleges of our land, cry out against the in- fliction of this treacherous and fatal wound. I would have the influence of these i stitutions on the side of rejigion and moral- ity. I would have those they send out among the people not ashamed to acknowi- edge God and to proclaim His interposition in the affairs of men, enjoiming sucn obeui- ence to His laws as makes manifest the path of national perpetuity and prosperity. I hasten to concede the good already ac- complished by our educated men in purity- ing and steadying political sentiment, but I hope I may be allowed to intimate my belief that their work in these directions would be casier and more useful if it were less spasmodic and occasional. ‘che éispo- sition of our people is such that while they may be inclined to distrust those who omy on Fare occesions come among them from an _exclusiveness savoring of assumed su- periority, they readily listen to those who exhibit a real fellowship and a friendly and habitual interest in all that concerns the common welfare. Such @ condition of intimacy would, I believe, not oniy improve the general political atmosphere, but would vastly increase the influence of our rni- versities and colleges in their efforts to prevent popular delusions or correct them dangerous before they reach an acute and stage. In Public Affairs. I am certain, therefore, that a more con- stant and active participation in political affairs on the part of our men of education would be of the greatest possible value to our country. It is exceedingly unfortunate that politics should be regarded in any quarter cs an unclean thing, to be avoided by those claim- ing to be educated or respectable. It would be strange indeed if anything related to the administration of our government or the welfare of our nation should be essen- tially degrading. I believe it is not a zuper- stitious sentiment that leads to the convie- tion that God has watched over our na- tional life from its beginning. Who will say that the things Worthy of God's regard and fostering care are.unworthy of the touch of the wisest and best of men? I would have those sent out by our uni- Versities and colleges not only the counsel- org of their fellow countrymen, but the tribunes of the people—fully appreciating every condition that presses upon their daily life, sympathetic in every tntoward situation, quick and earnest In every effort to advance their happiness and welfare, and prompt and sturdy im the defense of all their rights. I have but expressed the imperfectly thoughts to which I have not been able to deny utterance on an occasicn so full of glad significance, and so pervaded by the atmosphere of patriotic aspiration. Born of these surroundings, the hope cannot be vain that the time is at hand when all our countrymen will more deeply appreciate the blessings of American citizenship, when their disinterested love of their govern- ment will be quickened, when fanaticism and passion shall be banished from the field of politics, and when all our people, discarding every difference of condition or opportunity, will be:seen under the banner of American brotherhood, marching siead- ily and unfalteringlv on toward the bright heights of our national destiny. All Sang “America.” At the conclusicn of the President's ad- dress the entire assemblage rose and sang “America.” The benediction by the Right Rev. Henry Yates Satterlee, bishop cf Washington, D. C., concluded the sesqui- centennial exercises in Alexander Hall. Mr. and Mrs. Cleveland were entertained at lunch at 1 o'ctock by President and Mrs. Patton, invitations being issued to the visiting delegates. Later in the afternoon @ reception was given by President and Mrs. Patton to the President and his wife. Over 1,000 invited guests attended and paid their respects to the chief executive and Mrs. Cleveland. The functions will last until 5 p.m., when President and Mrs. Cleveland will be es- corted to their special train at the Penn- sylvania reiiroad station and the home- ward journey to Washington will begin. ——.—__. HARRISON REBUKES BRYAN. ‘The Ex-President Eulogizes the Veter- ams Speaking for McKiniey. General Harrison arrived at his home in Indianapolis last night at 7: Leaving New Albany at 10 o'clock yesterday morn- ing, he made eleven speeches before reach- ing Indianapolis. There were notable gath- erings at Salem, Orleans, Bedford and Bloomington. At Salem he said, fn part: “Mr. Bryan has spoken with some con- tempt of those people who, he says, have been for thirty years saving this country every yesr at ‘so much a save.” To whom did he allude? These veterans who escort- ed me to this stand? That band of Union veterans which has recently been traveling over the country, speaking to the people end especially to thelr comrades, on these great issues? Did he mean that gallant man, that heroic patriot, that man of God, General Howard, who gave an arm to his country in the war? Did he mean gallant old General Sickles, who gave a leg to his ccuntry in the war, or did he mean Cor- poral Tanner, who gave both legs to his country in the war? Did ne mean these men by that term of reproach—men who have been saving the country every year for thirty years at ‘so much a save?’ Those men, their sons, their fathers, their moth- ers, are all interested that the honor and dignity and just constituticnal powers ef this government shall be preserved. They may be sneered at by the young man from Nebraska, but they will not be frightened by sneers—men who faced the belching — of cannon that their country might ve. “Eet me say in conclusien that I spent some time this summer in the east, and I bring you the assurance that there will be no democratic state east of the Allegheny mountains. (Cheers.) “The great empire state will roll up a majority for McKinley that will take them te Christmas to count Connecticut, that has almost invariably been democratic, will have a majority for McKinley. New Jersey, always democratic, will give 30,000 majority for McKinley. Pennsylvania—I don’t know, unless they introduce some shorthand meth- od of computation, how they are going to count the majority in Pennsylvania. (Cheers.) But Bryan has hopes of In- diana.” A voice—“He will never get it.” Mr. Harrison—“No, the people of Indiana love the flag and the Constitution. They sent out as many brave men in proportion to their number as any state to maintain Lincoln's view of the Constitution, and they are not going to surrender to the boy orator of the Platte. Indiana has paid her debts honestly and insists that the United States shall. She insists that as there has been no stain on the flag, there shall be no stain on our financial record.” (Applause.) At the college towns of Bloomington and Green Castle, General Harrison covered much the same ground that he had in his other speeches. ———_+ e+_____ MAY HELP BRYAN. Decision Adverse to Kansas Straight- out Populists. By a decision rendered at Topeka, Kan., by the judges of the state supreme court Thomas E. Watson is not permitted to withdraw his name from the regular popu- list state ticket. The matter came up in the supreme court on a writ of mandamus against Secretary of State Edwards, who had, in compliance with the formal de- mand filed by Mr. Watson, announced his intention of omitting Mr. Watson’s name from the head of the regular populist ticket. The proceedings were begun by Chairman Breidenthal of the populist state central committee. The desire of Mr. Watson’s followers was that his name should appear only at the head of the ticket nominated by petition by the polting middle of the road populists, and they alleged that the printing of Mr. Watson’s name at the head of the electoral ticket nominated by the democratic state convention was an at- tempt to deceive the populist voters of the state. They alleged that while these elec- ters pretended to represent Bryan and Wat- son, it was well understood that they would vote only for Bryan and Sewall. The decision of the court orders the sec- retary of state to print Mr. Watson’s name at the head of the populist ticket, and de- clares Mr. Watson’s name was not certified by the populist convention as that of a ean- didate to be voted for by the people of Kan- sas, “but solely by way of an addition to be made to the party appellation of the peo ple’s party.” E Justice Johnson dissented from the judg- ment of the court, declaring his opinion that the ticket as returned by the officers of the populist convention was intended to deceive the voters of the state. It is con- ceded this decision means an addition of several thousand votes to Mr. Bryan’s vote in Kansas. ARE YOU LOW-SPIRITED? Take Horsford’s Actd Phosphate.

VETERAN ALUMNI IN LINE A memorial tablet was unveiled by the ety of the Sons ef the Revolution of New Jersey at Princeton University yester- day afternoon. The tablet was placed on the front entrance of Nassau Hall. Ad- dresses of presentation and acceptance were made and J. L. Cadwalader of New York delivered a short address. The inscription on the tablet is: “This building, erected in 1736 by the Col- lege of New Jersey, and named Nassau Hall in honor of King William III, was seized by British forces for military purposes in 1176, and retaken by the American army January 3, 1777. Here met from June 30, 1783,until November 4, 1783, the Continental Congress, and here August 26, 1783, General Washington received the gratified acknowl- edgment of the Congress for his services in establishing the freedom and independence of the United States of America. Erected October 21, 1896, by the Society of the Sons of the Revolution in the state of New Jer- if The Celebration at Night. The celebration of last night was as re- markable a demonstration as the intellec- tual program of the day, but in quite an- other fashion, When twilight faded and the full moon shone big and round in a cloudless sky the campus began to glow red with the light of innumerable paper lan- terns strung and festooned through the trees and on all the buiidings. Long lnes of fire burned against the darkness evel ported to fairyland. The arches and the buildings of Nassau street were brilliantly illuminated and the town was a sea of lights and orange and black. Flickering torches swarmed among the college buildings like myriad fire flies as the procession was forming. The medley of cheers, the biare of a dozen bands, a steady volley of crackers and pistols, made a hair-raising din, above which swelled now end then the roar of “As We Go Marching to Princeton.” The line wound all around the campus, two miles of torches and transparencies. Every class since 18%6, a period of sixty years, was represented, and at least 2,000 Princeton men were in the line. Every class flaunted a banner, from the handfuls of aged men of the '4Us, who leaned on their sticks, but cheered quaveringly, to the rictous, dancing hundreds of the ‘30s. The mottoes on these transparencies would fill a comic almanac. The class of ‘04 carried such bold profes- sions us these: “Some of Us Are for Mc- Kinley, Some of Us Are for Bryan, Some of Us Are for Sale.” “We Demand ‘the Im- mediate Restoration of the Foot Ball Championship Without the Consent of Any Other College.” ‘We Demand a Free and Unlimited Coinage of Beer at its Full Legal Value.” “Why Didn’t Bryan Come to Princeton and Give Us a Shower of Words? We Wouldn’t Have Done a Thing to Him.” “Just Tell Them That You Saw "3+ and They Will Guess the Rest.” '03 carried this parental address: “‘Little Children, See the Men; How Nicely They Walk. What is This? This is a Celebra- tion. But This is Only the Overtyre. The Real Celebration Will Come Later When You Are in Bed. Now Run Off and Play.” Another impressive legend was: “’v2, than which there is none such,” with “Princeton demands all the Scriptures and all of Venezuela.” Many mottoes related to the greatness of Princeton and the sur- passing greatness of the classes that bore them, with Latin mottoes and nonsense ad infinitum. The procession moved at 8:30 o’clock, and entangled itself amid a tre- mendous racket. Veteran Graduates im Line. The class of '47 had seventy-six men in line who had attended the hundredth an- niversary celebration at Princeton in 1846 Many classes had elaborate floats in line. The Washington Guard of ’81 was headed by a four-horse carriage, with four colonial outriders and George Washington reclining proudly against the cushions. '7% dragged a huge wooden cannon, which passed and poured forth red fire. The ’88 men pranced incased in dummy horses and challenged the City Treop to a cavalry combat. The procession marched through the town and back to the campus, along Nassau street under the triumphal arches. The streets were jammed with people, the greatest crowd in Princeton's history. The Arrtval of the President. President Cleveland, Mrs. Cleveland and Private Secretary Thurber arrived at 8:25 o'clock, when the parade was wending its way along Nassau street. The presidential party was met by the City Troop of Phila- delphia, and escorted to the reviewing stand in front of Nassau Hall. As Mr. and Mrs. Cleveland reached the stand with President Patton, James Alex- ander of New York, Charles E. Green and Governor Griggs, the historic old hall burst into a glory of light that outlined the walks, every door and window, and the tall tower against the moonlit sky. Many in- candescent lamps made this effect. The parade swung into the campus and for nearly an hour the shouting cohorts passed in review in a glare of red fire and torches. As the classes passed the reviewing stand they cheered lustily for “Cleveland,” and their transparencies kept the President and Mrs. Cleveland laughing for the best part of en hour. The “boys,” young and old, were having their day, and it was a large gilt-edged one. A squad of “grads” chanted “16 to 1,” 16 to 1 nit,” and Mr. Cleveland smiled’ expansively and chuckled, but his Waterloo came when ‘94 stopped to face him with the legend: “Grover, send your bcys to Princeton.” ‘When the paraders had massed them- selves before the stand Mr. Alexander led cheers that roared from thousands of bra- zen throats for the President, Mrs. Cleve- land, Governor Griggs, President Patton and Nassau Hall. An elaborate display of fireworks ended the celebration, as Mr. Cleveland would not yield to the loud shouts of “Speech, speech.” The shower of rock- ets, bombs and set pleces made a fine show before the shining glory of old Nassau. The Yale delegation was the only body from another university present. The sons of Elf marched twenty-five strong, headed by Coxswain ‘“Femmy” Clarke of the Hen- Jey crew, and wore the senior caps and gowns, carrying blue lanterns. The show was over at 10 o'clock, but the evening was still young for a great crowd of the sons of old Nassau. ee en ees WATSON DEFENDS. HIMSELF. He Denies That He is Putting Ob- stacles in Bryan’s Way. Thomas Watson, the populist vice presi- dential candidate, spoke at Capitol Park, Birmingham, Ala., last night to an au- dience of-3,000. 8. A. Hobson, editor of the Tuskaloosa Journal, introduced him. Mr. Watson said that he had not sought to lay obstacles in the way of Bryan, and that the people’s party can unite in Bryan's sup- port, but not for Sewall. “Er ve nO personal objections to Mr. Sewall,” the speaker continued, “but op- pose him because the party which for six years has denounced the national banking system ought not to be asked to support a national banker. The party which has de- nounced bondholders and railroads ought nat to be asked to support a bondholder and railroad king. A New England pluto- crat cannot be expected to be in sympathy with the south and west, and we ask dem- ocrats not to ask us to violate our prin- ciples.”” ——_+-e+____ Army Leaves. Lieut. E. F. Wilcox, 6th Cavalry, has been .granted leave of absence for one month. The leave of absence granted Lieut. Francis G. Irwin, jr., 2d Cavalry, has been extended two months and twenty days. Lieut.

Mr. Bryan, the 4 ratic candidate, spoke to a crowd o! ral thousand peo- ple at Rushville, erday for fifteen minutes from 2 tree erected in a vacant lot near the.center of the city. For the first time during his campaign in Indiana, Mr. Bi at New Castle re- ferred to ex-Presid€Mt Harrison stumping the state in the tmterest of the republi- can nominee. He said that ex-President Harrison was electefi to the presidency on @ platform that denounced Mr. Cleveland’s administration on ground that ke had tried to demonetize! silver and that now the former President was stumping the state trying to get the republicans ta in- dorse Mr. Cleveland’s financtal _poltey. There was a large and enthusiastic crowd and they applauded vigorously when Mr. Bryan declared he could prove his pcsi- tion by evidence deducted from republican sources. Muncie was a hot bed of polities when Mr. Bryan arrived there shortly before 3 o'clock in the afternoon. Every man, wo- man and child wore a badge and every man, woman and child shouted for his or her candidates. There were counter demonstrations. An hour after Mr. Bry: reached the town Willlam D. Bynum was to speak to the gold democrats, end in the evening the republicans were to listen to W. J. Campbell, ex-president of the Glass Blowers’ Association. All three meetings were widely advertised. On cach side of the street those who wore the yel- low McKinley badges were lined and they shouted for their favorite as the cerriage bearing Mr. Bryan passed by. It was dis- tinctively a McKinley crowd in the city and just as distinctively a Bryan crowd that listened to the nominee at the ball park. There he faced an assemblage of several thousand and nearly every per- son he could see had the name of the can- didate printed on a slip of white paper and fastened aver the hat band, and there was nothing to disturb the harmony of the meeting. On the way back to the train the demonstration for McKinley was re- newed, but was checked to a great extent by the shouting of the crowd of sllverites, who marched about the vehicle. A cheering jam of humanity to the extent of several thousand people welcomed the cendidate to Anderson, when at 4:30 he ar- rived there. Out on the open prairie a stand had heen erected. There were short stops at Alexandria, Summitville, Marion, Bluffton and Fair- mount, and at each place Mr. Bryan re- ceived flattering receptions. The crowds were large and enthusiastic. The train was nearly an hour and a half behind schedule. At one of the Indiana towns Mr. Bryan was presented with a glass stylus by the Glass Workers’ Association, made of national colors and of beautiful designs. Mr. Bryan addressed three large meetings last night at Fort Wayne. The first was at the Wayne Hotel, and when Mr. Bryan spoke from the balcony of that hostetry the big double block in front was packed to such an extent that the windows were broken in by the crowd. It was several minutes before Mr. Bryan could make him- self, heard, and when he did get to talking he was often stopped by the applause. The next meeting was at Princess Rink, and that large edifice was packed to its dcors. Here, too, the crowd was demon- strative, and three minutes of applause greeted him on his entrance. His vigorous attack on the gold democrats met with a ready response in the sympathies of the audience. ‘The last speech was made at Saengerbund Hall, and here again he was met with an enthusiastic reception, eS McKINLEY TO ILLINOISIANS. It Was a Great Day for Republicans at Canton. Major McKinley reviewed the parade of Illinois visitors to Canton, Ohio, yester- day afternoon from the stand on his lawn. Feur addresses were made on behalf of the visitors. Gen. .John McNulta spoke for the city of Chicago, W. J. Calhoun for the state of Illinois, Robt. C. Givens for the republican clubs, and P. J. Minter for the representatives of the labor organiza- tions of Chicago and :vicinity. All of them told Major McKinley that “Iinois is all right.” ’ The Black Hussars, who jtrought with them their splendid black horses, including Midnight, the fine steed which Major Mc- Kinley rode on the occasion of opening the worli’s fair, were among the visitors. They and the other Illinois people gave Major McKinley an ovation when h» appeared to address them, and they applauded his speech, . Before the Illinois delegations reached the house there had been a visit from men of Poland township, Trumbull county, Ohio, where Major McKinley spent many of his boyhood days. Judge Arrel of Youngstown, his old roommate, was spokesman of this delegation. There had also been a visit from the Gar- fteld Club, of the old nineteenth Ohio con- gressional district. including State Senator Jam2s R. Garfield, son of the late Presi- dent, and Congressman S. A. Northway, who made the introductory address. Sen- ator Garfleld was introduced by Major McKinley and spoke briefly. As the major was leaving the platform another delegation from Green Springs, Ohio, and vicinity appeared and an address was made to them. A speech was delivered in the house to a delegation of working- men from Chicago, and soon afterward a finely uniformed club, organized as the East End McKinley Regiment of Cleveland, appeared upon the lawn, with F. G. Hogan as spokesman. Major McKinley scarcely had time to get dinner before there was another delegation in his yard. This last one was the McKin- ley Marching Club of Massillon. It was addressed by the major and then joined in the street parade. The nominee's speech to the Illinois vis- itors was in part as foliows: “You have the immortal Lincoln. That's enough fer one state. You have the mighty Grant, who filled the world with his fanre as he journeyed in the pathway of the sun. Then you had Logan. Then you have Oglesby—grané old Dick Oglesby—and you have Tanner.” Referring to the issues of the campaign, he said: ‘Your farm products have reached $270,000,000 in a single year and some peo- ple seem to think you would produce more if you had free silver. Now that the price of wheat is going up and silver is going gown and your crops have been exception- ally good, I cannot see how even pessimis- tie men can convince you, or themselves, that our pre-ent gold siandard, which we have had since 1879, can be of the least possible detriment to you. “My friends, good money is as essential to the farmer as good crops. It is the boon of the farmer. Short dollars are as hurtful to him as short crops, and cheap money is aa injurious as low prices. Ili- nois is the first of the great corn states, with a production annually of 325,000,000 bushels, and for the decede from 1874 to 1883 averaged 225,000,000 bushels, worth $70,000,000, or more than 30 cents per bushel. This was under the good times ‘of &@ protective tariff.: This was before the change of 1892. And.f firmly believe that when We have restored the self-preserving, prosperity-producing, debt-stopping system again your farmers ‘will go on to greater and grander triumphs and enjoy equal Prosperity with that ‘of years ago.” $46 +____ BRYAN’S TOUR OF ILLINOIS.

DAUNTLESS TAKEN Overtaken by the Cruiser Raleigh and Brought to Porta GREA? EXCHFEMENT AT JACKSONVILLE Reported Capture of the Filibuster’s Cargo in Cuba. NEWS FROM: GEN. WEYLER Seror Dupuy de Lome, tke Spanish min- ister, has received an official cablegram from Gen. Weyler announcing the cap- ture of the arms, &c., disembarked by the tug Dauntless on her last expedition to Cuba. The matter was communicaied to Gen. Weyler by the naval commander on the Cfenfuegoa station. The cap.ure was made in the San Juan river. In tw2 beats belonging to the Dauntless were -ifles, a cannon, a large quantity of amm:nition, medicine and other stores, as well us ccr- respondence of great value to the Span- ish authorities. A dispatch to the New York World from Havana says: Carlos Carrio, a second in the threatened Johi.son-Ampudia duel, has sailed for the United States on a secret errand from Gen. Weyler to Dupuy de Lome. Bradley T. Johnson is reported to have been among those larded by the Dauntless. Madam Eyraud, nee Helen Montez, of the Cuban Red Cross Society, also landed. The Dauntless is said to have made a second attempt to land the re- mainder of an expedition, but the Spanish gunboat Contra Maestre sighted her and fired. The Dauntless headed for the open sea. Whether she was hit or rot is not known. Pursuit of the Dauntless. Great excitement was occasioned in Jack- sonville, Fla., yesterday morning by the report that the tug Dauntless, of filfbuster- ing fame, and the steamer ®. L. Mabey, which is also under suspicion of being in the employ of the Cubans, had been fired upon by the United States cruiser Raleigh, off the New Smyrna bar, on the east coast, and that the Mabey id been sunk. It was also reported that the Dauntless escaped during the cannonading. While the report had some. foundation, the facts as above stated were far from the truth. Orders from Washington were taken to St. Augustine Tuesday by Mar- shal McKay, to be delivered on board of the Newark, which was then lying cff St. Augustine. After a great -leal of hard work a boat was got out to the Newark and the orders were delivered. The Newark then hoisted anchor and headed to the southward, when the cruiser Kaleigh hove in sight. The Raleigh was signaled, and the orders were sent to that boat. The Newark at once turned around and the Raleigh went south. The instructions that were received by the captain of the Ra- leigh were to proceed to the southward and to capture the Dauntless and Mabey if possible. The Dauntless was found anchored off the New Smyrna bar, and an officer trom the Raleigh was placed on board. This oc- curred about 3 o'clock in the morning. About 6 o'clock, when the Mabey was put- ting out from New Smyrna, with coal for the Dauntless, the Raleigh fired its cannon, which is regarded as having been a signal for the Dauntless to weigh its anchor and to proceed north. The captain of the Mabey, thinking that his boat was being fired upon, at once put back into New Smyrna. The Dauntless and Ralzigh proceeded northward and arrived off the St. John’s river bar about 4 p.m. The Dauntless came inside, while the Raleigh anchored off the bar. Instructions were received by the col- lector of customs at Jacksonville last even- ing to send the cutter Boutwell down the river to bring the Dauntless up to Jackson- ville. W. A. Bisbee, owner of tie Dauntless, who was at New Smyrna at the time the proceedings took place, states that nothing was on beard of the Dauntless, with the exception of fifteen tons of coal. The Dauntless is now under $7,000 bond, charged with violating the navigation lews of the United States, and it will undoubted- ly be libeled again upon reaching Jack- sonvilie. It is credited with having taken two expeditions to Cuba since leaving Jagksonville about two weeks ago. McKINLEY OVER 100,000 AHEAD. Count in the Postal Card C: the Middle West. Yesterday’s count in the postal card poll of the middle western states is given as follows in a dispatch from Chicago to the New York Herald: The total vote so far counted in the Chi- cago Record’s postal card election is 212,604. This is the way the vote stood at the close of the count tonight: Vass of No, Counties. Bryan. McKinley.

The additions in the city wards are not large, but they main- tain the percentages about in the position that they have taken for several days. Four of the states—Illinois, Missouri, Iowa and Indiana—show incomplete re- turns from every county, while the returns from the other states do not yet include all the counties. There is not a great deal of variation in the percentages of the candidates in the different states from day to day, though in Missouri and Kentucky McKinléy is mak- ing slight gains. The Percentage of Changes. The analyses made of the Chicago Rec- crd’s postal card vote by republicans who felicitated themselves upon the seemingly greater number of changes from the demo- cratle side to the republican side have been criticised by democrats who main- tained that the analyses are misleading and that the percentages and not the total number of vates reported and charges made should be considered. For instance, one democratic criticism js as follows: “I see one feature of the ballot that has a vital bearing on the question. That is the percent of changes from one party to the other since 1882. Of the vote as reperted in this morning’s Record, out of 7,941 for Bryan, 2,190, or 273-4 per cent, Were former republicans, and voted for Harrison in 1802, Of the 27,813 votes for McKinley, 5,413, or only 191-2 per cent, were former democrats, and voted for Cleveland in 1892. So far as they have voted, it shows that three republicans will vote for Bryan where two demovrats will vote for McKinley.” Mr. N. B. Milliken, writing to The Star calling attention to the figures given in this quotation, declares the statement to be a cunning piece of sophistry. He writes: “The correct showing is as follows: Deduet from 7,941 votes for Bryan 2,190 former republicans and add 5,413 former democrats and you have 11,164, the whole number of former democrats in the tal card vote. Compare this with 5,413 democrats who have changed to McKinley and you have very near & per cent 2s the real proportion of change from democratic to republican ticket. On the other band, it is plain by the same correct process of figuring that the change from republt- can to democratic is less than 10 per cent.” —— Speaker Reed and ex-Minister Robert T.

Mertz and Mertz, New “Era” Tailors, STRANGE TRAGEDY. YONKERS’ Johm Andres Sugxesta That Anar- chists Were the Criminals. Information of a startling character was received by the Yonkers, N. ¥., police yes- terday afternoon which may aid in the solution of the mystery connected with the death of Hamlin Andrus. It was to the effect that the bomb was In- tended for John F. Andrus, brother of the dead man, several times millionaire. Jonn F. Andrus did not appear at the office of the Chemical company yesterday morning, as was his custom. On learning of the explosion and the death of his brother, he hurried to the po- lice station and communicated with Cap- tain Mangin. To the captain he said that the explosion of the bomb might nave been the work of anarchists, and offered an explanation for his belief. About three weeks ago, he said, he was walkimg along Wall street, New York, when he was ac- costed by a rather seedy-looking individual, who took him by the arm and said: “Mr. Andrus, you are a very wealthy man. You have too much money, and I am one of a number of people who believe that you ought to distribute at least one- third of what you have among the poor. You will elther do this or there will be a way found of compelling you to do it.’ * Andrus, according to his story, paid iittle attention to the man at the time. The police were informed that Hamlin Andrus was in the habit of experimenting with explosive chemicals, and several tubes similar to that by which Andrus was kill- ed were sent to the police captain by an unknown, who said he had made tubes of that nature for Mr. Andrus. The police are looking for that unknown. This story, however, is not believed by the dead man’s relatives or friends, who declare that he had never engaged in such experimentation or shown any interest in it. The theory is that a bomb was placed in a box under Mr. Andrus’ desk, and that it was exploded when he went to the desk. No one was in his office, so far as is known, but the cleaner the day before, when everything was in order, and no one was supposed to have the keys to the building besides three reliable people, who apparently know nothing about the ex- Pir Andrus was a director of the Citi- zens’ National Bank of Yonkers, and a rember of the First Presbyterian Church. He was a public-spirlted citizen, and was always identified closely in all public mat- ters that tended to the welfare of the peo- ple and the place. ———-+ ed MOBRISON AGAINST SILVER. The Distinguished 11 Comes Out for Sound Mo William R. Morrison, chairman of the in- terstate commerce commission, for ycars a member of Congress, and a life-long democrat, has bolted Gov. Altgeld and the Chicago platform and nominees. An official statement is in the hands of Chair- man Williamson at Palmer and Buckner headquarters in Chicago. It is a flat- footed declaration against free silver, W. J. Bryan and the administration of Gov. Altgeld. oe to the present time Mr. Morrison has maintained silence. It has been known that there was a personal enmity be- tween himself and Gov. Aligeld, but he was supposed to lean in his sympathies toward free silver. Mr. Morrison's political stand- ing has been high in tne democratic party in the state. He has many times been mentioned for President. —_——__+e-+____ The Dispensary Cases. ‘The United States Supreme Court yesier- day afternoon entered upon the considera- tion of the South Carolina dispensary law cases.

There is comfort in the knowledge, that so many forms of sickness are not due to any actual dis- ease, but simply to a constipated condi- tion of the system, which pleasant family laxative, Syrup of Figs, ipt- ly removes. That is why it is only remedy with millions of families, andis here esteemed so highly by all who value health. Its beneficial effects are due to the fact, that itis the one remedy which tes internal cleanliness without debilitating the organs on which it acts.

THE BAY STATE Gas COMPANY, Receivers Allege That They Are De- Prived of the Books. The Bay State Gas Company receivers of Delaware, Dwight Braman and J.

Kittinger, representing AS company, are in contempt of court in that they have refused to give the books and papers of the company. id Roger Foster of New York, of counsel for the receivers, stated that the papers had not been found, although search had been made for them in five states. He al- leged that the books and papers had been concealed and said he had affidavits to prove the allegation. James C.

It shows lainly what is being done to it and with it. it tells the condition of the digestive or- Ss. It plainly blabs about constipation. ‘oul breath, dull eyes, listlessness, sallow- ness, pimples are almost unmistakable symptoms. Don't believe that you are the only one that knows your condition. Con- stipation is a serious matter. There is no form of sickness it may not lead to. It filis the body with impurities. It makes it ready for the reception of any sort of disease germs. It is easy to let it ran on into some- thing seziou: It is easier to cure it. There is a safe, cer.ain, comfortable cure for such constipation. This cure comes in little vials. Its name is Dr. Pierce’s Pleasant Pellets. The “Pellets” are tiny, sugar-coated gran- ules. One is a gentle laxative ; twoa mild cathartic. They cure constipation in a per- fectly natural way. You do not become a slave to their use. There are hundreds of ions offered for this same purpose, none so ce~tain, and none so safe. The trouble with most of them is that they are violent ; and in curing one disorder, wed others. Dyspepsia may come just asquickiy from taking strong medicines, as from tak- ing uo medicine at all. Sometimes the rem- edy is worse than the disease. There is no other prepac.tion similar to Dr. Pierce's Pieasant Pell-ts, and so there can be uoth- ing “just as good.” Druggists sell them.
