2 LATE NEWS BY WIRE Bryan Issues an Address to the Silver Men. SAYS THEY HAVE NOTHING TO REGRET They Have Not Been Vanquished, Simply Overcome. THEIR BELIEF UNSHAKEN LINCOLN, Neb., November 6.—Mr. Bryan spert the forenoon today preparing an ad- dress to the silver men. He continues to receive inquiries concerning the result of the election, and many, accepting his ac- quiescence in thé result as final, pledge him their support in continuing the fight for free silver and for the presidential nomina- tien four years hence. He has wired his thanks to the national democratic com- mittee through Senator Jones for the work done in his behalf. He later gave out the following: | “To the bimetallists of the United States: “Conscious that millions of loyal hearts are saddened by temporary defeat, I beg to offer a word of hope and encourage- ment. No cause ever had supporters more brave, earnest and devoted than those who have espoused the cause of bimetallism. ‘They have fought from conviction and have fought with all the zeal which conviction inspires. Events will prove whether they are right or wrong. Having done their duty ag they saw it, they have nothing to regret. “The republican candidate has been heralded as the advance agent of pros- perity. If his policies bring real prosperity to the American people, those who opposeil him will share in that prosperity. If, on the other hand, his policies prove an in- jury to the people generally, those of his supporters who do not belong to the office- holding class, or to the privileged classes, will suffer in common with those who op- posed him. “The friends of bimetallism have not been vanquished; they have simpiy been over- come. They believe that the gold standard is a conspiracy of the money changers against the welfare of the human racz, and until convinced of their error they will continue the warfare against it. “The contest has been waged this year under great embarrassments ard against great odds. For the first time during this generation public attention has been centered upon the monzy question as the paramount issue, and this has been done in spite of all attempts upon the part of our opponents to prevent it. The republi- can convention held out the delusive hope of international bimetallism, while repub- lican leacers labored secretly for gold monometallism. Gold standard democrats have publicly advocated the election otf the Indianapolis ticket, while they labored secretly for the election of the republican ticket. The trusts and cor- porations have tried to excite a fear of lawlessness, while they have been defy- ing the law, and American financiers have boasted that they were the custodians of national honor, while they were secretly bartering away the nation’s financial in- dependence. “But in spite of the efforts of the ad- ministration and its supporters; in spite of the threats of money loaners at home and abroad; in spite of the coercion practiced by corporations and employers; in sp‘te of trusts and syndicates; in spite of an enormous republican campaign fund, anc in spite of the influence of a hostile daily press, bimetallism has almost triumphed in its first great fight. “The loss of a few states, and that, too, by a very small plurality, has defeated bi- metallism for the present, but bimetallism emerges from the contest stronger than it wan four months ago. “I desire to commend the work of the three national committees which have join- ed in the management of this campaign. Co-operation between the members of dis- tinct political organizations is always dif- ficult, but it has been less so this year than usual. Interest In a common cause of great importance has reduced friction to a mini- mum. I hereby express my personal grati- tude to the individual members, as well as the exeeutive officers of the national com mittee of the democratic, populistte and silver pa¥ties for their efficient, untiring and unselfish labors. They have laid the foundation for future success, and will be remembered as pioneers when victory is at last secured. - “No personal or political friend need gtieve because of my defeat. My ambition has been to secure immediate legislation rather than to enjoy the honors of office. Therefore, defeat brings to me no feeling of personal loss. “Speaking for the wife who has shared my labors, as well as for myself, I desire to say that we have been amply repaid for all that we have done. In the love of mil- lions of our fellow citizens, so kindly ex- pressed, In knowledge gained by personal contact with the people and in broadened sympathies, we find full compensation for whatever efforts we have put forth. Our hearts have been touched by the devotion of friends and our lives shali prove our ap- preciatior of the affection which we prize as the richest reward which this campaign has brought. “In the face of an enemy rejoicing in its victory, let the roll be called for the en- gagement, and urge all friends of bimetal- lism to renew their allegiance to the cause. If we are right, as I believe we are, we shall yet triumph. Until convinced of his error, Jet each advoeate of btmetallism continue the work. Let all silver clubs re- tain their organization, hold regular meet- ings and circulate literature. Our oppo- nents have succeeded in this campaign and n.ust now put their theories to the test. Instead of talking mysteriously about ‘sound moni and ‘an honest dollar’ they must now elaborate and defend a finan- cial system. Every step taken by them should be publicly considered by the silver clubs. “Our cause has prospered most where the Toney question has been longest discussed among the people. During the next four years it will be studied all over this nation = more than it has been studied In the past. : “The year 1900 is not far away. Before that year arrives international bimetallism will cease to deceive; before that year arrives those who have called themselves gold standard democrats will become bi- metallists and be with us or they will he- ceme republicans and thus opea enemies: before that year arrives trusts will have convinced still more péople that a trust ts a menace to private welfare and to public safety; befor? that year arrives the evils of a gold standard will be even more evi- dent than they are now, and the people will then be ready to demand an American financial policy for tae American people, and will join with us in the immediate restoration of the free and unlimited coin- age of gold and stlver at the present legal ratio of 16 to 1, without waiting for the aid or consent of any other nation. |. BRYAN.” FUSION CARRIES IDAHO. Bryan 7.000 Votes Ahead With Many Precincts to Hear From. BOISE, Idaho, November 6.—One hun- dred and thirteen out of 281 precincts in Idaho give McKinley 3,141; Bryan, 10,179. For Congress—Gunn, tus! lonist, has 5,310; Borah, silver republican, 4,092; Morrison, McKinley republican, 8. The entire fvsion state ticket has been elected. The fusionists will have forty-tvo members of the legislature; Dubois men, twenty-seven; McKinley republican, one. —_——__ DOUBT IN SOUTH DAKOTA. Congressio: and State Tickets Not Yet Decided. YANKTON, S. D., November 6.—The re- publicans have only fifty-five out of 106 members of the legislature. This insures the election of a free silver United States Senator. The congressional and state tick- ets are still in doubt. Complete returns have not been received, but the state is very close, the apparent majority for Mc- Kinley being less than 1,000. The fusion- ists, with Senator Pettigrew at their head, have prepared to contest several counties. ees Duke of Wurtemburg Dead.

Excitement Over the Election at Wil- : . _mington, Del. WILMINGTON, Del., November 6.—The canvassing board have been at work count- ing the vote of New Castle county. They were in the court house all night, surround- ed constantly by a howling mob. The tm- pression had gone forth that the demo- cratic inspectors intended to count out Wil- liam R. Flinn, republican, for sheriff. Sheriff Gillis, in order to prepare for the outbreak that was expected to follow the announcement that Toman (democrat) was defeated, despite the alleged manipulation ot the figures in his interest, swore in one hundred deputies. The militia compantes of the city were also called upon, and uni- formed men hurried to the armory of the ist Regiment, N. G. D., located about four blocks from the court House. The sight of the militia only served to increase the ex- citement. Later, the sheriff, aided by over 100 dep- uties, managed to get the ccurt room clear- ed. Then the doors were locked and all outsiders were barred. This scattered the crowd, and while large numbers congre- gated around the court house grounds, they were separated, end the mob’s power of mischief was gone. Meanwhile the clerks, exhausted by their leng ard wearisome labors, essayed to add the long columns of figures that they had tabulated. Early in the count they differed in totals. Then adding machines were sug- gested, and a rest was allowed to ascertain if the machines cculd be procured from the banks of the city. This was the situation at 2 o'clock, with not the slightest indication of further trou- ble. It is hardly possible now that the count can be completed before night, even with the adding machines. Some of the militiamen are still at the armory. a OREGON FOR McKINLEY. He is 2,429 Ahead With Republican Connties to Hear From PORTLAND, Ore., November 6.—Com- plete returns from all but three counties in Oregon give McKinley 45,241; Bryan, 42,812; McKinley’s plurality, 2,429. In the state election last June the three missing counties cast a total of 2,436 votes and gave a republican plurality of 218. SS CASCADE LOCKS OPENED. End of a Task Begun Eighteen Years Ago. PORTLAND, Ore., November 6.—The locks at the cascade of the Columbia have been formally opened for traffic. The con= struction of the locks was begun eighteen years ago by the government, but for many years the work was allowed to drag, and little was accomplished toward opening the river. A number of prominent men of Ore- gon and Washington attended the formal opening. The government has expeaded about $2,500,000 on this work. —- LATEST WYOMING RETURNS. Sixty-Six Precinets, Mostly Republi- cnn, to Be Heard From. CHEYENNE, Wyo., November 6.—Sixty- six precincts in this state, thirteen of which were democratic and fifty-three re- publican in the last election, are yet to be heard from, and will probably show a republican majority of 600. Decisive re- turns are expected by Saturday evening. One McKinley elector and the republican candidate for supreme judge are elected. There is a strong probability that the two remaining McKinley electors and republi- can Congressman will be elected by from 300 to 500 plurality. INQUEST OVER BRANNAGAN. His Death Shown to Have Resulted From Accident. This afternoon Coroner Hammett held an inquest at the South Washington police station to determine how Hartly Branna- gan managed to get in the muddy water of James Creek canal Tuesday night, just before his dead body was found. The au- topsy showed that death was caused by the water. There were several scratches on the dead man’s head and hands, but noth- ing to indicate that he hsd been assaulted before he went in the water. Rube Taylor, an old colored man who selis rum to the residents of the section bordering on the canal, was a witness. He had seen the unfortunate man in his sa- Toon drinking Tuesday night. Brannagan was in there several times. ‘Was he drunk?’ the coroner asked. “Not thoroughly, but he was getting there.” “Did he have any money?” “Early in the evening, before he went home,” answered the colored saloonkeeper, “he had several dollars, but I don't «now what he had when he came back.” Witness said that Cornelius Campbell was with Brannagan drinking. When they had enough to drink witness refused them any more and advised them to go home. Several other witnesses were examined. Some of them said they had seen Branna- gan staggering about the canal, and Fannie Taylor, who was among the first to reach the canal, said there was nobody near the canal when the man was struggling to get out. Men and women went to his assist- ance, but did not succeed in getting him cut until life was extinct. Cornelius Camp- bell was not there at the time, and Fannie heard that he was in Mrs. Beverly's house asleep. One witness said he had seen Campbell and the deceased wrestling in the saloon, but they were not fighting. Campbell was present to explain his move- ments electicn night, and the jury conclud- ed that Brannagan’s death was the result of an accident. a THE POPULIST RESULT. What Secretary Edgerton Says His Party Has Accomplished. Secretary Edgerton of the populist na- tional committee feels well satisfied over the advances made by his party during the past campaign, although disappointed in the general result. “We have elected,” he said to a Star re- porter today, “Congressmen from Cali- fornia, Idaho, Colorado and Alabama, four from Nebraska, six from Kansas, five from North Carolina and two from South Da- kota — twenty-one populist Congressmen. We secured populist Senators in Kansas, South Dakota, Idaho and possibly in North Carolina. We elected governors and the state ticket in Kansas, Nebraska, governor of South Dakota, governor and major por- tion of state ticket in Idaho, Montana, Washington and North Carolina. “Mr. Watson will have four electors for Vice President in Louisiana, three from Wisconsin, five from North Carolina, two from Kentucky, four from Nebraska, two from Washington, one from Utah, one from Wyoming, one from Montana, and four from Missouri. There may be Watson electors from Colorado and Idaho, and possibly two from South Dakota.” pact ee THE MARSHAL'S OFFICE, Rumor That the Employes Are Under Civil Service Rules. It was rumored at the City Hall this afternoon that the civil service commission had received an opinion from the Attorney General to the effect that the employes of the marshal’s office, including clerks, mes- sengers and bailiffs, are embraced under the civil service rules covering salaried officials of the general government. Deputy Marshal Robinson stated to a Star reporter that he has received no such information from either the Attorney Gen- eral or from the civil service commisaiun. Several months ago Marshal Wilson wrote to the commissien relative to the stand- ing of his force under the civil service rules ard regulations, and the commission, he was inforned, had communicated with the Attorney General. The marshal, said Mr. Robison, expects to hear from the commission in a day or two, and favor- ably, he hoped. ——___ Murder Trial at Cumberia: Special Dispatch to The Eveing Star. CUMBERLAND, Md., November 6.—Sam'l Hessenaur was placed upon trial this morn- ing for the murder of Wm. Clark. Hessen- aur came to this city on the 14th of last September from Pittsburg and loaded up on whisky. He met Clark in a saloon; they drank together, and when Hessenaur left the saloon Clark followed him, and, accord- ing ho the Petree Ge pore at- tempted to him, wi e (Hessenal shot Clark dead. ay ELECTRIC POLES IN ALLEYS tion,-Bays the Attorney: Law Applies te Alleys Well as to Streets—How the Question ‘Was Raired. The Commissiorers this afternoon decided an important matter relative to the erection of poles and overhead wires In alleys, hold- ing that they had no authority to grant permits for the same. Some days ago the Engineer Commissioner referred to the attorney for the District for opinion on the question whether there was any authority in the Commissioners to per- mit the maintenance of poles and wires in alleys for electric light purposes. The opin- ion not only covered this query, but also took the ground that the Commissioners were without authority of law to permit the erection of poles in alleys. 1t will be recalled by the act of July 18, 1888, Congress specifically stated that the Commissioners should not, after the 15th of September of that year, permit or au- thorize any additional telegraph, telephone, electric lighting or other wires to be erected or maintained on or over any of the streets or avenues of the city of Wash- ington, and the Commisstoners should in- vestigate and report to Congress at its next session the best methods of removing all electric wires from the surface of the streets, avenues and alleys, and the best method of putting them underground. It was upon this act that the attorney based his opinion, and he says, among other things, that the restrictions upon the Commissioners as to permitting addi- ticnal telegraph, telephone and electric light wires to be erected, etc., relates in terms to streets and avenues, but the di- rection to investigate and report the best method of removing overhead wires applies to the streets, avenues and alleys. Until 1888, he says, it was proposed that the act of 1888 in regard to overhead wires did not apply to alleys, but in that year the au- thority of the Commissioners to put tele- phene poles in alleys was questioned, and Congress in the District appropriation bill of August 7, 1804, enacted a clause which authorized the erection of telephone poles in alleys. This clause he considers may be con- sidered a legislative interpretation of the act of 1888 in regard to overhead wires, and the fair implication is that that act was intended to apply to alleys as well as to the streets and avenues. Congress having. by the appropriation act of 1894 empowered the Commissioners to authorize the use of telephone poles in the public alleys of the city excludes the idea that electric light poles could be lawfully erected in the pub- lic alleys. a ee ‘TEMPERANCE SUNDAY.

Re- re Conpjtions,: says court, and the number of4men ‘esrabte for offenses will deerease,| In many of the alleys, the judge sald, crap gamés cause most of the trouble, whilelth other plaees the buying of cans and buckets of beer seems to be the chief evil. T remarks were inade dur- ing the trial of young man named Law- mee Dufty,"who had been arrested in fortheast Washington near 13th nnd H streets for disorderly ‘conduct and assault on Policeman Curtis of the ninth precinct. Several young men, most of them, if not all of them, minors, gathered in a shed and celebrated the rainy day by “rushing the growler.”” When they had indulged in more than they could stand there was trouble, and one of the men, it is alleged, struck his own mother, who had endeavored to re- store Peace. ‘Two of the’ pugilistic young men fought thelr way from the shed into the alley, and when Policeman Curtis arrested them Lawrence Duffy made a successful attempt to rescue them from the guardian of the peace at the expense’of his own arrest. A young lady, sister of one of the young men, was -prompily on “hand ‘with @ woman's @ broom, and it ig a cloudy day, she used the other its When the policeman and Lawrence finally reached the nolice station the officer's ap- pearance indicated; that he might bave been @ member ofCoxey's army at one time, for a tinsmith, tailor and seamstress were needed to put’ him in condition to re- turn to duty.

The young lady took the stand and gave evidence in the young man’s behalf, but what she had not seen had no effect on the positive statement of the officer. “I made no attack on the officer,” the de- fendant sald to the court. “We were feol- ing in the shed, and because the ladies be- came frightened they ran out and screamed murder.” ni Were You runk?" Judge Miller asked im. “I was not so very drunk,’ ut I had a drink or two. How old are you?” “Nineteen years. I'm _a_stonecutter by trade, and would have been at work yes- terday if it had not been for the rain.” The officer agreed that Duffy is a hard- working man, but he also said he had fre- quently seen him going for buckets of beer. “Where do you boys get your beer?” the Judge asked. “In this particular part of the city most of the trouble results from this miserable habit of getting buckets of beer, and the young men who participate in these rows are usually hard-working and industrious. There must be some tlace where minors ah get beer out there, and the cause ofthe ‘evil should be removed.” The policeman: confessed that he did not know where the:beer was bought. Resuming, “the-judge said he thought it was about timethat this business of as- saulting policemen had stopped. This fa- vorite pastime of so many young men was getting o great many of them in trouble. “And,” safa the judge to the defendant, “I'm afraid-youare going to find yester- day's conduct rmther expensive. Men are not put on the police force to be hammer- ed about in this way, and had the case been presented on a warrant I should have held you for the grand jury, and an: ex- ample might have been made by sending you to the penitentiary. For the assault you are fined $#er four months in jail, and for the disorderly, conduct $10 or sixty days In the workhouse.” In conclusion, the judge sald he hoped other police fighters would profit by Duffy's experience. he answered, 197 INTERNATIONAL BIMETALLISM. An English Manifesto on McKinley's Election. At a meeting of the Bimetallic League at London yesterday a menifesto was drawn up. Members from Birmingham, Man- chester ard elsewhere were in attendance. ‘The document states that McKinley's elec- tion fs a victory for international bimetal- lism and quotes the money plank of the St. Louis platform. Continuing, {t says: “In these circumstances, and in view of the strong agitation for free silver, this agitation is Itkely to be maintained and developed and a genuine and determined effort upon the part of the new govern- ment may be confidently anticipated to bring about an internatioral bimetallic agreement for the opening of the mints of the various countries to silver, as well as to gold. “The recent contest has brought home to the people of this country the vital importance of the monetary question and the grave dangers which threaten the in- dustrial, commercial and financial inter- ests cf Great Britain so long as it is not settled on international lines. The un- reasonable attitude of this country in the past in the efforts to arrange a settle- ment is mainly responsible for the attempt just witnessed to induce the United States to act alone and for the consequent un- rest and disturbance in commercial and financial circles. ‘Therefore, it 1s earnest- ly hoped that this country and the other great powers of Europe will heartily co- operate with the United States in their endeavor to place the metallic money of the world upon a permanent, sound and scientific basis.” at Albany.

The gold brought in by European steam- ers at the close of last week, amounting to $1,250,000, will be shown In an increased specie holding. The banks have lost up- Ward of $2,000,000 to interior points, about half of which amount was transferred through the subtreasury.

The payment of a dividend of 1% per cent on the Central Trust Company's cer- tificates of deposit, representing the Chi- cago Gas Companies’ certificates, was of- ficlally announced this morning. The cer- tificates must be presented on or after November 25 at the office of the Central Trust Company in order that the amount of the dividend may be stamped thereon. The action of the stock indicated a grow- ing confidence in the permanency of these disbursements. American Sugar was inactive, and to a very notable extent, unsympathetic with the movement in the general list. Legis. lative attacks are considered probable in consequence of the recent severe political arraignmert of corporations of this charac- the. The wishes of the larger interests will, however, continue to be superior to surface conditions. The best prices of the day, in many instances, were recorded during ‘the final hour of business.
