MORE CAPITAL FOR INVESTMENT States That Contribute to the Re- sult Will Be Benefited. A DEMOCRAT’S VIEWS An assurance which is greatly strength- ening the scund money cause in the south— and notably in the border states—bears upon the material benefit to that section certain to follow the polling there of a large sound money vote. Virtue 1s its own reward, but something besides the conscioustess of having declared for the maintenance of the public credit is to come to those states which demonstrate the possession of a healthy business sentiment at this time. Their credit is to be ad- vanced, and their industries, new and old. are to be in every way assisted. In a word, their vote fcr sound money is to be the beacon light to attract capital from a distance. Capital in Wine. The argument upon which this assur- ance is founded is irrefutable. Capital not only sensitive, but as a rule very wise It knows its friends. It sometimes en- counters difficulties, but it never seeks any. It is constantly on the alert for in- vestments, but it wants trem to be safe. It is controlled by the laws of business. and when those laws are respectel it goes. When they are set aside, or but lightly re- garded, it remains away, or leaves, if it happens to be on the ground. Capital cares noting about how attractive or blameless on purely personal grounds po- litical leaders may be. If the polictes they advocate are in contravention of well tablished laws of business, capital de- clines to put itself in their power. It does not feel safe when they make and con- trol public sentiment. Gov. Oates Turned Down. Gov. Oates of Alabama recently discov- ered the truth of all this. He went to New York to negotiate for money for his state, but was unable to secure any. The men with money, who in other circumstances would have been glad to accommodate him, felt obliged to tell him that they were afraid to place their money in a state where the sentiment of the majority fa- vored a fifty-three-cent dollar. They de- clined his proposition purely on business grounds. They must know before putting out their money that they would receive it back in value the same as when it left them. In st like Maryland, West Virginia, Virginia, Belaware, Missouri and Kentucky invitation to capital is growing more and more tempting all the time. They are get- ting to be great mining and manufacturing states. Their growth in the last decade has been surprising. But, so enormous are their resources, that what has been done, gratifying as it is, has simply served to show how great the opportunities presented are. But of course the full development of those resources calls for business confi- derce and stability and the prevalence of a sound local business sentiment. If the existence of such a sentiment there is ex- hibited nexjgmonth, the material interests of those states, there is every reason to believe, will be greatly advanced. But if, on the other hand, states, with so much to expect from the business world, go against the plainest dictates of business sagacity, they may be sure of paying a heavy pen- alty for it in the markets seeking openings for their surplus capital. One Democrat's Views. In a conversation with a representative of The Star today, a prominent man, a democrat, from one of the states named, said: “If sound money wins next month, as now seems certain, and three or four south- ern states help to achieve the triumph, it will be a blessing of incalculable benefit to all the south, but particularly to the states assisting. Their flag will go up for public, as well as private, integrity, for business sense, as well as patriotic sentiment, and they will forge ahead like swift the home stretch.” horses in -o—_____ COMB ON THE STUMP.

LONDON, October 23.—The Marquis of Stlisbury has remanded the immediate re- lease of Sun-Yat-Sen, the Chinese physi- clan, sad to be a British subject, who was, according to the statement of his friends, kidnapped while passing the Chinese le- gation here, and who Is held a prisoner in the legatior on the charge of having been engaged in a conspiracy to overthrow the Manchu dynasty. The newspapers continue printing ind! nant comments on the alleg2d Chinese kids naping case." The Globe this says: The deepest resentment would be felt against any government which permitted this outrage upon a man who has come to London for protection to.go unredrdéssed. ‘The Chinese embassy must understand that public opinion will not allow iegal fiction to abrogate protection. Dr. James Cantlie, who brought the case to the notice of the authorities, says, In an interview today, that he knew Sun-Yat- intimately in Hong Kong during the year 1887. He adds that the Chinaman came to London on his adyice in order to pur: his. medical studies, as he was in trouble with the Chinese goyernment. Dr. Can saw Sun-Yat-Sen in Honolulu last March and saw him dally here. Continuing, Dr. Cantlie said: “I received information on the 17th that Sun-Yat-Sen_ was a prisoner and about to be sent to China, where he would be beheaded.” ——.—_ Government Receipts.

Endeavoring to Utilise American Coal Repairs to the Naval Observa- tery Building. e Capt. Chadwick, chief of the bureau of equipment, in his annual report to the Sec- retary of the Navy says that all the regu- lar appropriations for the past year were sufficient except that for contingent equip- ment and fcr the naval observatory bulld- ings. The former will show a deficiency, owing principally to the largely increased expenditures on account of the transpor- tation of freight on equipment articles from yard to yard and to ships on foreign Stations out of the naval supply stock, and to the increased expenditure of funds on account of the greater quantity of ashes to be removed because of the increased number and size of ships in commission. The latter was increased during the last session of Congress to $12,500, within which sum a coniract has been made for the buildings and work begun. During th2 year the mess outfits have been extended to the enlisted men wich very satisfactory results. Homing pise stations have been estab- lished at Newport, R. 1.; New York, Nor- folk, Va.; Key West, Fla., and Mare Is- Jand, Cal., and preparations mede for a station at’ Portsmouth, N. H. Capt Chad- wick says that the period has been too ‘rt to do much actual work, but the le is on a very satisfactory basis for future u: Sums pended. The sum of $245,720 was expended at the several navy yards in equipment. There was expended abroad for equip- ment supplies sum of $491,366. Of this amount $422, were expended for 61,741 tons of coal, an average of $6.85 per ton. A total of 116.0% tons of coal, costing d during this year, 2 tons, costing $518,748, dur- year 1805; 61,741 tons were . as against 47,985 at an average decreased cost 5 of 15 cents. cost of all coal in 1896 was 3.25 in 1995, hased at home 55,162 tons costing $14,725, an average of 57, of which quantity 47,521 tons were ing m3 purchased abroad in 1 tons in 1NW) per ton in against purchased on the Atlantic coast, at an average cost of 4 per ton, and 7,641 tons cn the Pacific coast, at an average cost of a decrease in average cost on the At- ast In 189% over that of 1895 of 23 ase of 22 cents on the fic coast.

This percentage is $8.4 less for steaming and 8.4 more for auxillary purposes than in the previous year. Udlzing American Coal. Capt. Chadwick says that the bureau, in endeavoring to utilize American coal as much as possible, has made a trial of plac- ing & cargo of Pocohontas coal at Honolulu. This has been done at a rate which allows it to compete successfully with’ the Domin- icn of Canada coal or that from Australia. it is of first tmporiance, he says, that we should us oal, particularly on the more distant ons and at ports where céaling points are distant. The reasons are many and ol among them being the s radius, and a thus practi- bunker capacity; a greater motive power, less damage to labor on the part of fire- ers. efficienc; boilers 2 less men and coal pas The Navni Observatory.

Star reporter this morning about the position of the rail- road men in the political fight. “To begin with,” he sald, “this talk about coercion is all besh. There has been no attempt at coercion by my road or any other road. The men on my road are openly talking for their choice for President, and are openly wearing buttons and badges. I think I can truthfully say that the railroad men are about equally divided. The Bryan men rake their position known without hesita- tion, and so do the McKinleyites. I believe a small majority of the men who run from Clifton, Forge Into West Virginia are for Bryan.” Personal Mention.

ACCOUNTS OF THE AFFAIR DIFFER Leading Topic “ of Conversation "Among the People. CURRENT POLITICALMATTERS CINCINNATI, Ohio, October 23.—The in- sult to the Secretary of the United States Treasury, John G. Carlisle, by men of his native state and city is the leading topic of conversation today. While accounts differ as to the degree of brutality manifested by those in the hal] and on the street around the building, there is no dispute as to the bitterness of feeling manifested. Secretary Carlisle was purposely detained in the hall by his friends in the hope that the outside crowd would disperse, but as soon as Mr. Carlisle discovered this he in- sisted on going out immediately. Then a police esccrt was provided, and by main force a passuge to the street was obtained. Vile epithets were then showered at the Secretary, and one man, John Fagin, threw a lighted cigar in his face and stooped as if to pick up a more formidable missile. He was promptly seized by the police, but was discharged, no one preferring a charge. Secretary Carlisle, on reaching Mr. Helm'’s door, thanked the chief of police for the protection afforded. There is no doubt that Secretary Carlisle feels deeply this indignity in his own home, but his only remark was, “They are not hurting me; they are only harming them- selves.” He did not know that eggs had been thrown until some time after it was done. JONES SAYS “YIELD.” The Democratic Chairman ,Deems Fusion Necessary in Georgia. ATLANTA, Ga., October 23.—It is learn- ed Jere on what is believed to be unim- -peachable authority that fusion was agreed on at Chicago yesterday between Senator Jones and Populist Committeeman Wash- burn. As a result Mr. Washburn left Chi- cago for Nashville and Mr. H. W. Reed left Atltnta last night for the same place, where they will meet tomorrow at noon. Important correspondence was in progress yesterday between Democratic Natlonai Chairman Jones and the national commit- teeman for Georgia. Serator Jones wired his representative here in substance as follows: “We must accede to the demands of the populists for fusion in Georgia.” The reply in substance was: “The populists of Georgia don’t want fusion; they demand a surrender. To this Senator Jones responded: “If those are the facts, use your own judgment.” It appears from this that a general pla! of fusion satisfactory to the populis has been agreed on between Messrs. Wash- burn and Jones, and that Georgia alone stands in thé way of its consummation. KANSAS POPULISTS MUZZLED. Vandervoort Says They: Will Express Themselves on Election Day. TOPEKA, Kan., October 28.—Paul Van- éervoort of Omaha, who has been in Kan- sas for the past ten days delivering middle- of-the-road populist addresses, has finished his Kansas tcur and left for Pexas. Be- fore departing he talked to a reporter. He declared the “populists of Kansas were muzzled at the present time by the fusion leaders, but that they could express them- selves right on election day.” Watson, he continued, had made a straight and honest fight to maintain the principles of the people’s party, and his supporters would never be delivered to Sewall. TO SUPPORT THE DEMOCRATS. Advice to Missouri Populists of a Farmers’ Alliance Leader. . BUTLER, Mo., October 23.—Ex-President Pierce Hackett of the Farmers’ State Al- lance of Missouri in an open letter urges populists to vote for Lon V. Stevens, the democratic nominee for governor. He says: “As we have no candidate for governor, it ig my Lonest conviction that every populist throughout the country should support Mr. Stevens in order that we may prevent the British gold power from getting possession of our state government.” ELECTION INJUNCTION CASES. Decisions by the Supreme Court of Montana. HELENA, Mont., October 23.—The su- preme court has decided eight election in- junction cases. The two most important cases were from Silver Bow and this county. The Silver Bow case was relative to the state citizens’ ticket, which was Placed in nomination by that party in Butte, the court deciding that it had no piace on the official ballot. The electors on the ticket were for Bryan and Sewall. The case from this county was that of the silver republican ticket, which was to go under the silver state ticket, headed by Bryan and Sewall electors. The decision of the court wipes it off the official ballot. WATSON AT NASHVILLE. He Enters Into Conference With Populist Leaders. NASHVILLE, Tenn., October 23.—Thomas E. Watson of Georgia, arrived here today and at once proceeded to a hotel, where he remained during the morning. The popu- list leaders here were not aware of his ar- rival for several hours, as he was expected on the 10:55 train, which they met, and were greatly disappointed because he was not on board. It was subsequently. ascer- tained that he had come on the early morning train, and today he was visited by ex-Governor John P. Buchanan, chairman of the populist executive committee, and other prominent populists, with whom he was closeted for some time. Mr. Watson being asked by a reporter to give out an interview, replied that he was engaged at present, and would see the re- porter after dinner. A second request brought the response that Mr. Watson had nothing to say for publication. Chairman Washburn of the western branch of the populist national committee has not yet arrived. C. C. Henderson, sec- retary of the populist state executive com- mittee, said today that fusion in Tennessec. was impossible. Negotiations, he said, had now passed that point where fusion in this state could be thought of. i —_—_— } | Sued for Breach of Premise. ; CHICAGO, October 23.—Theodore Feltera- a retired capitalist residing at West Pull) man, has been sued for breach of promise by Mrs. Sarah A.

SENSATION President Echols to Be Attacked From Many Sides, 1 A big sensation is expected within the mext few days out of the A. P. A. circular attacking Bryan. President Echols, as intimated in The Star, has been and.is to be attacked on various sides because of his position and the position in which ke has placed the order. One of the most’ prominent attacks is from ex-Supreme President Traynor, who is in’ Detroit. He has already ex- pressed himself on the attitude of the su- preme officers, but is going to come out in few days with a red-hot attack in his Paper and in other ways. He will do this, it is said, since the lagt circular sent out by the A. P. A. authorities. From right herein the city Mr. Echols is to be attacked. It id understood, that a circular 1s now being printed, signed by one of the most promfinent members of the order, in which Mr, Echols is charged with serious things. Another attack along the same lines is in the Hands of printers. The attacks will be morg severe than that is- sued from Louisvillei@ few days ago. That one was signed by five prominent members of the order. 4 It 1s said that copies gf the A. P. A. cir- cular are to be ‘p&nted and distributed broadcast for thé pyfpose of offsetting the effects that are expeoted to be produced in A, P. A. circles against Bryan. The object of the circulation of theyéirculars will be to permit all anti-A. P. d,-ppople to under- stand the methods beingeyesorted to by the order, or a part of it, the campaign. It is alfeged that this make votes for Bryan. Jf it does not @o so, it is said that the publication of the ejire matter at this time will have the effecy$f opening the eyes of members of the ordemyand of preventing them fram becoming as@olid on one side as had been expected. . It is learned that one of the chief objects on both sides in the fight now at hand is the capture of Maryland. It is said that there are 27,000 A. BR. A. voters in Mary- land, and that they are now almost solid fer McKinley, owing to the fight being made cn Bryan by the supreme officers. The other side proposes {0 cripple the supreme officers, if Bossible, and prevent the vote of the order-being thrown,golidly to McKinley. ——— ee THE INDIGNITY "0 CARLISLE.

THAT HE HIMSELF WAS MARKED Then Yonkers’ Rich Men Were to Be Taken Off Similarly. TWO MEN UNDER SUSPICION ——— NEW YORK, October 23.—The Evening World today prints the following from Yonkers: Following the discovery yesterday of the battery and wires by which the bomb was exploded in the Arlington chemical works Wednesday, in which Hamlin J. Andrus was blown to atoms, is the statement made today by the brother of the murdered man, which is of the most starfling kind. It is nothing less than that the secretary of the chemical works was slain by an- archists and that he was the first victim of the plot that had a score or more on its death list. Two mea at least are under suspicion, and they may be arrested at any moment. They certainly will not be permitted to Jeave the city. John Andrus, president of the chemical company, is, as has ‘already been related, many times a millionaire. His belief is that it was intended that he should hav been the first victim, and then, in rapi succession, all the rich men of Yonkers, if not of New York city, would one by one have been taken off. President Andrus passed a restless night, but he was full of determination, as he said to a World reporter: “TI am satisfied, in fact, we have in our possessicn, information that my brother was murdered by anarchists, and if it takes every dollar of the millions which I possess, the miscreants shall be brought to justice. “I know from the reports made to me by detectives whom I have employed that there is, right here in Yonkers, a band of anarchists, and that they have sworn to kill every rich man here. I am usually of a quiet and peaceable disposition, but from the moment that I found the battery and electrical appliances yesterday a spirit of vengeance took possession of me, and I will never rest until it has been satisfied. I can almost fancy that I hear my murdered brother calling upon me now. His call will be heeded. “While only one man may have pulled the string which set off the bomb, he was only one of a gang, and the real intention was not accomplished. “As I was the one whose life was sought, the ‘man who pulled the fatal string was egged on by the others. He made a bung- ling job of it, but-the fault that he did not succeed does not le at his door. The scheme to murder cmpnated in the brain of men far above him in intellect. The plot wasof-the ‘ most. fiendish sort, conceived in qeumtet, but an tnrfocent man was sacri- “We knew that this band of anarchists had been holding meetings here of late, and two of the number, whom we believe to be she ringleaders, are now under surveil- lance. They are being continually followed by detectives, and if they make the slight- est attempt to escape they will be placed under arrest. ““f do not believe that any of the em- ployes “in our concern had anything to do with it, although {t is possible one of them may have been made a dupe unwittingly.” Coroner Miles, who was the first to dis- cover the battery and electrical contrivance which set off the bomb or infernal machine, ahd who deserves whatever credit is at- tached to the solution of the mystery so far as it has proceeded, said this morning: “I do net know all that Mr. Andrus krows, fer the reason that he has prob- ably heard from detectives. All I do know is that his brother was fiendishly murdered. “While it is true that we have two men under surveillance, who, we believe, were {n the plot, still I have no positive proof against anybody. “From the very beginning I formed the belief that Hamlin Andrus had been mur. dered, and the bomb had been set off by some electrical appliance. I decided to find out just what that appliance was, and now that we have succeeded the rest of it seems evry. “So confident was I that a murder had been committed that at my own expense I ergaged two detectives. They were not half an hour on the ground until they fully agreed with me. They, are still kard at work on the case. “If the poilce do not make an arrest I may do so my: We will scarcely hoid an inquest today. —__>. “CRAZY WHEAT MARKET.” Great Fluctuating in the Price of the Cereal, CHICAGO, October 28.—It was a crazy market in wheat today again. December, which closed yesterday at 70 1-2, opened with sales generally 2c. a bushel higher, but with business varying in different parts of the pit all the way from 72 to 72 5-8 After the first rush quotations quickly -dropped from 72 1-2 down a full cent ina straight line to 711-2. Then prices whirled upward a cent back to 72 1-2, December. Here the market hesitated a moment and then bounded still higher, touching 78 at 10:15 o'clock a.m., a gain of 2 1-2 a bushel within three-quarters of an hour. - Cables showed but little effect this morn- ing of the demoralization in yesterday's local market. Liverpool showed only a 11-44. decline, an the comparative strength had an emphatic effect on prices here. Many commission houses had sell- ing orders at the opening. ‘To this was attributed the sharp decline to 71 1-2 as the orders were put on the market. Then good buying orders began to pour in, and, aided by the second Liverpool cables, which came 3-44. higher, a rally ensued which carried December up to 73 cents. A reaction then tool place again, and at the end of the first hour’s trading Decem- ber was selling at 71 Later again it fell to 71%. Armour's brokers were sell- ing, but Cuhady, who was prominent on the buying side at the close yesterday, was again taking wheat. In spite of the violence of the fluctua- tions the market is not characterized by such excitement as might have been ex- pected. There was a noticeable absence of small trades. Corn showed steadiness compared with wheat. It had no iaore enccuragement from cables, which came higher at the opening, and received fair support from the start. The Mhnitoba Whent Yield. WINNIPEG, Man., October 23.—The gov- ernment has revised its estimate of the wheat yield of Manitoba, reducing the amount to something less than 15,000,000 bushels. The acreage under wheat was a little short of 1,000,000 acres. This does not include wheat of the northwest territories. OTTAWA, Ont., October 23.—At the very outset it is not expectéd that there will be more than 10,000,000 bushels of Manitoba grain available for export. ——_—_ Ivory Again Arraigned. LONDON, October 23.—Edward J.

Mavroyeni Bey, the retiring minister; Moustapha Tahsin Bey, his suc- cessor, and Effendi, eecretary of the lega- tion, made an official call upon President Cleveland at the White House this morn- ing. They were met by Secretary Olney at the main entrance and escorted to the blue parlor, where the President awaited them. The visitors were in full state dress, and were resplendent in gold lace and precious Jewels. Contrary to expectations, there was no special significance in the addresses exchanged, there being a marked absence of any reference to the issues pending be- tween the United States and the Ottoman empire. After Mavroyeni Bey had formally pre- sented his letters of recall, Moustapha Tahsin Bey, the newly appointed minister, presented his credentials to the President and said: “Mr. President: His imperial rajesty, the sultan, my august master, announces to your excellency by the letter which I have the honor to present to you my appoint- ment in the capacity of his envoy extracr- dinary and minister plenipotendary near the government of the United States of America. “His imperial majesty, the sultan, having expressed to me his constant and ardent desire for the maintenance and sirengihen- ing of the good relations of fri hip 60 long established between the two govern- ments, I trust, Mr. President, that 1 may have the concurrence and ‘the effective sup- port of your excellency to facilitate my accomplishment of this mission, which is, moreover, the more ugreeable to me in that it wholly responds to my personal senti- ments already formed since iny previous sojourn in America.” 5 The President replied to this addr follows: “Mr. Minister: My earnest desire for the continuance of the traditional friendship existing between the United States ani Turkey makes it very agreeable to me to receive as the envoy extraordinary an: minister plenipotentiary of his imperial majesty, the sultan, one who by { residence in this country and association with cur people for several yeare is so well qualified to estimate the sentiments of my countrymen and of the representative government, concerning all that concerns their good relaiionship to the Ottoman em- pire and peoples. “Iam highly gratified at the assuron you convey to me of the friendly purpo: ard motives which inspire your imperial master, and which he has charged you to express and subserve, and I can cordially promise you all possible co-operation and a full appreciation cf all that may be done by the Turkish government toward the at- tainment of objects which I equally desire in the interest of continued good will.” Se ge MR. FAULKNER’S PREDICTION. He Says Mr. Bryan Will Be Our Next President. Chairman Faulkner of the democratic congressional committee talked today to a Star reporter about the great contest which is to be settled at the polls on Tucs- day week. He reviewed political and economical conditions since the act of 18 expressed his opinion of that “exclusive cub of wealthy gentlemen who met at Indianapolis” and touched upon the “‘con- traction of currency.” Senator Faulkner talked more specifically in his claims for the democrats than ever before, going over a number of the states and expressing his opinion of each. He SS as jone who have watched the course of this campaign can doubt the result in the scuthern states. The money used by the republican party In the election in Geor, and Florida affected in not the slightest degree the result in those two states or decreased in the least the democratic vic- terles there. Kentucky, though sought to bi driven from her democratic anchorage 1 some of her sons who.have in the past been trusted and honored by her people, who taught them the very principles new in- velved in this contest, and which are being maintained by our great organizations, will decline to follow these former leader Kentucky can be relied upon for 20,0) ma- icrity. Maryland has suffered during one year of republicanism, as Kertucky has West Virginia will shake off the nightmare cf two years’ continuance and place herself aiong with the states of the south in the ESS column. We have no doubt of at. Bryan to Have 220 Votes Sure. “West of the Missouri every state will give its electoral vote to Wm. J. Bryan. If this is a correct prediction of the result already foreshadowed his vote in the elec- tcral college will be 220, leaving but four additicnal votes to be secured from the great central west, consisting of Ohio, In- diana, Illinois, Iowa, Michigan, Wisconsin end Minnesota. In these states the baitie is being fought from every hiliside and through every valley with an earnestness and intensity upon the part of the agricul- tural and laboring classes. Should we carry Illinois, which, from information now in cur possession, I believe is now absolutely eesured, we could lose four of the states making up my estimate of 220 and still elect Mr. Bryan, and if we carry Indiana ani Michigan we could lose the same and still te successful. The state of Iowa is now tottering in the republican column. It is now conceded that Minnesota will elect Mr. Lind governor upon the fusion ticket, ani who doubts, if this is true, that under the Feculiar ballot now used it will carry the whole electoral ticket with it. Michigan has always been, and is now, regarded as safe as almost any state in the west for the democratic nominee. Mr. Bryan will be our next President.” —_—__-e+______. PENNSYLVANIA’S MAJORITY. Say It Will Be Much Smaller Than Claimed. The silver men have their eyes on Penn- sylvania with a good deal of interest, not with any hope of carrying the state, of course, but with an expectation, as they declare that its majority for Mckinley ‘will be so small as to surprise the coun- try. R. E. Diferderfer, secretary of the na- tional silver party, said to a Star re- porter today: “It is a fact that among our letters ask- ing for silver literature more come from Pennsylvania than from any other siate. Senator Cameron's speeches have been cir culated in that state to an immense num- ber. I see that Mr. Wanamaker has cone through the state on a campaigning tour, but I am inclined to think he wouid ad- vance the prospects of his party by staying in Philadelphia, for the republican ma- jority will be made in that city. They talk about 500,000 majority for McKinley. That is the merest nonsense. That figure divided by ten will be nearer to the fact.” ——_—<——__o-___ Naval Movements.
