PROBABLY NO USE DYNAMITE CONSPIRATORS HAVE NOT SQUEALED YET, None of the Men Arrested Apply for Am; rican Protection ly? the Case When Naturalized Americans Are Arrested—Tynan's Is Usual- Brother in San Francisco Says It Is a Case of Persecution, London, Sept. 17. — A representative rs of the Associated Press was informed ‘ to-day that none of the men captured \ by the police and charged with taking \) part ina dynamite conspiracy have ap- Plied to the United States embassy for protection, a step which might be expected were they naturalized Amer- ican citizens. A ¢ teh received by the Associat- ed Press from Rotterdam to-day says that John F. Kearney, alias J. Wal- lace, and Haines, the two men arrested there in possession of a number of in- fernal machines and a quantity of in- criminating correspondence, refuse to answer the questions put to them by the authorities. Among the articles found in the pockets of the Rotterdam prisoners. was a bill from a chemist in Antwerp (where, in the suburbs of Berchem, a complete laboratory for the manufac- ture of bombs was discovered) for large quantities of chemicals and a letter dated Boulogne-sur-Mer, Satur- sed to J. Wallace, in which occur the following passages: “If you dare not go to Scotland, come to Boulogne, where we can talk the matter over. Cowardice cannot be tolerated among our brothers.” Dispatches to the associated Press from Glasgow to-day say that the po- lice of that city have obtained addi- tional evidence against Edward Bell, the man taken into custody there on the charge of being concerned in the dynamite plot. The Exchange Tele- graph company to-day announces that Sir Matthew White Ridley, secretary of state for home affairs, has ordered the release of Joseph Bell, one of the Carlisle dynamiters, from Portland prison. Tynan's Brother Talks. San Francisco, Sept. 17. — John T. Tynan, a brother of the man arrested at Boulogne on Sunday for Dr. Tynan, the famous No. 1 of the Phoenix Park zedy in Dublin in May, 1882, was ed when he read of the : s brother. He had sup- posed that he w in New York city, where his t letter was dated from, some weeks ago. Tynan is at pre ent employed as a bartender. He has resided in this city for about six years. He left Ireland in 1866 or 1867 and went to South America, finally locating in Chile. On being interviewed last night with regard to the reported ar- rest of “No. 1” by the Scotland Yard detectives, he said he thought the re- port w incorrect. “It was about weeks ago,” he said, “that I received a letter from my brother, who was then at Washington Heights, near Brooklyn. He outlined some of his plans to me then, and I am confident that he cannot have been implicated ip any such plot. The Scotland Yard people have circulated dozens of false reports about my brother. When any such scheme as this is brought to light {)“° wy brother is sure to be implicated in ‘ ) Sby the British autho: I believe . fpre innocent and has simply been 1X ‘# pounced upon by the police, that they } may make a showing.” ar of } Bad for Ireland. 1] The Irish leaders in London and Dublin regard the arrests of the al- l¢ged dynamite plotters with con- | sternation. A project has been on foot ever since the adjournment of parliament to obtain the release of all the Irish political prisoners, a project encouraged by the recent action of the government in releasing from Port- land prison Dr. Thomas Gallagher, Whitehead, John Daly and Thomas Devaney. It was intended to inaugur- H ate a great demonstration in behalf of the prisoners and an agitation in the press, followed by a fierce attack in the house of commons in January. The i ures in connection with the ar- r are considered unfavorable to the success of this plan.

Kentuckians Listen to the Demo eratic Candidate. Lexington, Ky., Sept. 15.—Mr. Bryan ar- rived at Lexington this afternoon after speaking at a dozen or more places be- tween Louisville and this point. Most of the speaking was done in a heavy rain. When the train pulled into the little ham- let of Bagdad but a small crowd dared the storm to look at the candidate. In this erowd was a young lady who, with some temerity, looked at Mr. Bryan and said: “My name is Bryan, and my folks are from Culpe; per county, Va. I am told I am_ your cousin.” “Iam glad to meet you,” answered Mr. Bryan, with his best smile, “and I think if I secure the vote of all my kinfolks I will have a pretty respectable showing.” This was the last stop before Frankfort was reached, where the candidate was billed to speak a half-hour. In his speech at Frankfort Mr. Bryan emphasized his statement of last night that those who did not believe in the free coinage of silver, Democrats or Republicans, should vote the straight Republican ticket. The rain was falling in torrents when the train pulled into Frankfort, and Mr. Bryan was con- ducted to the platform in the court house square under umbrellas, which were knocked aside every minute by the efforts of his Southern admirers to grasp him by the hand. During his speech of fifteen minutes the rain continued to pour down, but his audience of 1,200 people stood in the wet and yelled for him to go on. ‘At Midway the party left their special car for another on the Cincinnati South- ern railway and made the short trip to Versailles in the latter. Mr. Bryan was met at the station by a band and a num- ber of horsemen, who escorted him to the residence of Senator Blackburn. On the way he made a short spech from a stand erected in the center of the principal street. It was raining all the time he spoke, but he held ‘his 500 auditors. A large party were entertained at Senator Blackburn's residence. Open house was kept and everybody was asked inside. At Mr. nator Blackburn and the ial train and proceeded to Lexing- » they arrived at 2 p. m. Same Old Silver Cry. Yo-night Mr. Bryan addressed a large open-air meeting. He said in part: “No question which concerns politics ex- cept the question of government itself can surpass the money question as it is pre- sented to the American people at this time. Ordinarily the attention of the people is directed to a question like taxation or economy in appropriations. It is not often that the money question is presented to the people. It is desirable that there should be a fixed and permanent financial policy but, my friends, for more than twenty years the American people haye been seeking to re- store a financial policy which existed from the foundation of the government and had the support of every prominent statesman of all parties until 1873. It was changed without the American people's consent. Ever since that unfortunate hour the Amer- ican people have been seeking to reinstate the law that was at that time removed from the atute books. Sometimes they have passed through the lower house a Dill to open our mints. Sometimes they have passed that bill through the senate, but heretofore they have not succeeded in pass- ing that bill through the house and senate at the same cong ave been com- pelled time and »mpromise, and then we have found that our enemies, when they have forced upon us a compromise have commenced the next day to under- mine that which they compelled us to ac- cept. “When the people succeeded in passing through one house a bill for the free coin- age of silver the other house insisted upon an amendment that resulted in what was known the Bland t It gave some relief to the people. to them a short vespite from th eased depres- sion that has been fo upon them by vicious legislation, but no sooner was that law passed and—remember, that even that law was passed over the president's veto— and no sooner had it passed than the ene- mi free coinage who had compelled its adoption began to work secretly for its re- peal. Then when the silver sentiment had grown until, in February, 1890, there were prospects of the passage of a free coinage law, our friends again forced a compromise and substituted the Sherman law for the free ge of silver, and no sooner was the Shermay law passed than our opponents began to try to secure its repeal. Senator Sherman, in his book recently published, known ‘John Sherman's Recollections,’ expre es that he secured and favored that in order to prevent the passage and that he was free ready to vote for its repeal the next day if that repeal could be secured without sub- of a coinage law, stituting free coinage. I call your attention to these facts to show you that during all 's instead of meeting open and ndid enemies we have had to t those who under the guise of being friends of fre> coinage, the friends of bi- metallism have by stealth sought to fasten the gold standard upon the American people, Objects to the Word “Anarchist.” ly friends, unfortunate thing in use of the there is connection with one the | word anarchist as applied to those who are banded together to restore the money of the constitution; there is one fortunate thing about it. Anarchy is a thing not to be con- sidered in a Jand like this; anarchy can have no home among the people who have the ballot to right their wrongs. And the un- fortunate thing about this campaign ‘s that when the name anarchists is applied to the bone and muscle of this country by men who doing more to overthrow our gov- ernment than any anarchist who ever ried a red flag; I say that when this word anarchist is applied to the toiling milliows by men who seek without toil to usurp the fruits and reap the rewards of those who toil, the danger is that it will make the name respectabie because of its association. 1 protest against the use of that name for the purpose which deprives it of all its ter- My friends, those who are opposed to not afford to place the farmers of this y and the laborers of this country in ion of eneriies of the government, because they are the oxly friends that any government ever had.

A favorite farm of diversion this year with some of the visitors on the beach at Coney Island has been to fashion imitations of the human body on the damp sand. These im'tations have usually taken the shape of the female form, and some of them have been fairly well done Recumbent fig- ures, as if in deep sleep, are the favor- ite subjects. . Frequently as many a dozen per- sons are to be seen making these fig- ures. Crowds in each instance sur- round the molder, and he has all the assistance he needs in supplying raw material. By passing the hand along the crude outlines which are first shaped out the sand is gradually smoothed away, and if a molder-has any artistic taste, a figure soon as- sumes attractiveness. Occasionally an arm or a leg tumbles to pieces, while the artist is fixing up a leg or a bust; but willing hands help to repair the figure, and in half an hour the spectat- ors can see the ideal of the artist. The figures last until the tide comes in and washes them away.—New York Sun. BRYANANDWATSON NOMINEES OF THE POPULIST PARTY ARE NOTIFIED, Chairman Allen, of the Populist Na- tional Committee, Sends a Letter to Mr, Bryan, While Chairman Butler, of the National Executive Committee, Informs Mr, Watson by Letter of His Nomination. Madison, Neb., Sept. 16—Hon H. V. Allen, chairman of the Populist national commit- tee, mailed to William J. Bryan to-day the following letter officially notifying him of his nomination by that body; To Hon. William J. Bryan, Lincoln, Neb. —Dear Sir: At a convention of the Peo- ple’s party held at St. Louis from July 22 to 25 of the current year, you were unaui- mously nominated for president of the United States, to be voted for at the ap- proaching general election. It was known at the time that you had been nominated by the Democratic party at its convention held at Chicago a few days before that time, and that you would in all probability ac- cept the same in a formal manner. Your nomination by the People’s party was not, therefore, made with any thought that you were a Populist, or that you accepted all the doctrines declared by the St. Louis platform. It was largely due to the fact that the money question is the overshadow- ing political issue of the age, and because you have at all times been an. unswerving, able and fearless advocate of the free and unlimited coinage of silver and gold on terms of equality at the mints of the Unit- ed States, at the ratio of 16 to 1. It was thought, also, that the observance of a patriotic duty required a union of all re- form forces, and the convention took the liberty, without soliciting or consulting you, of placing your name before the peo- ple as its standard bearer. The convention was, in doing so, guided by deep. solic!- tude for the common welfare, and acting on its own motion and prompted alone by a desire to bring about the best attainable results. So much has been sald respecting the rehabilitation of silver by again placing it in our coinage acts in the position it occupied when stealthily demonetized by the act of 1873, that it would be idle for us to discuss the question. You will observe by the closing language of the St. Louls platform that the conven- tion recognized the money question as the great issue of the day, and because the Populists believe that you are in accord with them on this question, you will receive their ballots in November. It has at no time, been expected, nor is it now, that you will abandon your adhesion to the Chicago platform, however gratifying the latter would be to all Populists. It must be understood that the party does not abate one jot or tittle of Loyalty to Principles. We have declared ourselves in favor of many important reforms, im our judgment essential to the liberation of the people from the present urjust and ijniquitious in- dustrial ‘bondage. In accosdance with precedent of our party we take this method of notifying you of your nomination. We shall not send a committee according to old party custom. In sending this letter of notification of the great honor that has so justly been conferred upon you by our party it is needless for us to assure you that you have the confidence and esteem of all. Your splendid abilities, known integri competency and eminent fitness for the position justly entitle you to a high rank among the great statesmen of the nation. We feel that in the event of your election which now seems certain, that you will carry into the executive the principles of monetary reform, to the end that the peo- ple shall enjoy better industrial conditions. It is not anticipated shat this can be done with undue haste or so suddenly as to wrench or disjoint the business interests of the country, but that it would be done gradually and In a way to infuse confidence and hope of better conditions for all. The People’s party will exact of you no prom- ises further than those made in your public utterances and exemplified in a life devoted to the welfare of the race, nor will it ask you to abandon the party of which you are an honored member. In your nomination our party has risen above mere partisan surroundings and adopted a high plan of patriotism, believing that a division of forces would result in the election of Will- jam McKinley, the foremost advocate of a deeply burdensome and unnatural taxation and the criminal policy of the single gold standard, resulting ultimately, if not in some manner checked, in the complete de- struction and disintegration of our form of government. Your elevation to the chief magistracy of the nation would be regarded as a vindication of the right of the pegple to govern and, we entertain no doubt that you will prove a worthy successor of the immortal Jefferson and Lincoln and that your public life, like theirs, will illustrate the purity and loftiness of American states- manship. Your extensive and intimate knowledge of public affairs and the duties the office will impose, gained in a life that has been devoted to upho!ding the cause of the people, as well as your keen insight into the condition of our country, in our judg- ment highly qualified you to bring about a change in a way that will work injury to none and justice to all, thus making our government in fact, as it is now in form only, a government “of, by and for the people.” The letter is signed by members of the Populist national committee. WATSON, TOO. Senator Butler Notifies the Vice Presidential Nomince. Washington, Sept. 16.—The following is the letier s by Senator Butler of North Carolina, the chair of the Populist ex- ecutive committee, to Hon. Thomas Wat- son of Georgia notifying him of his nom- ination as candidate for vice president by the Populist national convention: Headquarters, Populist Party, Executive Committee, Washington, Sept. 15, 189 Hon. Thomas E. Watson, Thompson, a. Dear Sir: Such is our form of government that the citizens of the United States must shape its course for good or evil through the agency of political parties. When there is no political party which represents the principles of good government, no party that stands for the right and interest of the laborers, wealth producers and all who strive to make an honest living by fair and legitimate means, then it is impossible for the majority of the voters to express their will at the bal- lot box. When all the political parties stand for the selfish interest and personal greed of money changers, corporations, trusts and monopolies, as does the Re- publican party under the leadership of John Sherman and the Democratic party under the leadership of Grover Cleveland, great producing masses are victTms with: out the alternative. To withhold their votes will furnish them no relief, while to cast their votes for either party is to sanc- tion their own spoilation and to strengthen the power that oppresses them. This was the political situation in 1892 when stern necessity forced organized labor, the organized wealth producers and others who beiieve in good government to meet and form a new political organization known as the People’s party. The Demo- cratic and Republican parties no longer represented the principles upon which they were founded. Both have betrayed the people and have legislated in the interest of bankers, speculators, bondholders and monopolists, thus enabling the favored few to absorb the millions of property earned and created by the toiling masses. The People’s party was the first political organization in twenty-three years that made an honest demand for the free and unrestricted coinage of silver. The Peo- National D. C., ple’s party was the first political organiza- tion to make definite and specific what is meant by opposition to monopolies instead of indulging in glimmering generalities. So successfully has it exposed the shortcom- Ings of the two old parties that one of these old parties has been forced to retrace its erring steps and cast off, for the time being, at least, its base and treacherous leaders. It was the People’s party that brought all the important and overshadow- ing questions of financial reform to the front. Thus the Democratic party, so long de- bauched and now divided, a party beset from without and within by the xoid and monopoly Democrats who are plotting to again control it—cannot be relied upon to carry out these reforms of the People’s party and to restore prosperity to the American people. Therefore, there ¥as never greater need for the continued exist- ene and vigorous growth of our party than now. The letter then refers to the nomination of Mr. Bryan by the Democrats and says the People’s party at its second national convention recognized in him a man who stands in the broadest and truest sense for American institut‘ons and American pz!nci- ples. It then continues: “If the Democratic party had been true to the people and its own platform in its selection of a candidate for vice president we would not now have the honor of ad- dressing you, one of ‘he worthiest and most beloved sons of the Feople’s party, in this official capacity, for in that event the People’s party would have nominated the whoie Democratic ticket by even a larger majority than it nominated Mr. Bryan. But such was not the case. It seems that the party was not able at one effort to purge iself of its modern heresies, cut off its plutocratic leaders and at the same time it nominated Mr. Bryan, give him a run- ning mate who had earned in the arena of action, contending against the foes of the republic the affection, :onfidence and trust of the masses of our people as had Mr. Bryan himself. Had it nominated a man for the vice presidency who was known to America as a chieftain and a leader in defence of the toilers and producers of the land; one who, by the use of voice, pen and means, had endeared himself to the Amer- ican pople; one with a past not obscured in silenve suggestive of either ignorance or indifference to the struggles of the peo- ple with the money power, the occasion of this communication to your worthy self would not have occurred. The People's party true to its principles and teachings, nominated for the high office of vice president a man worthy to have headed the ticket; a man who represents what Mr. Bryan represents, and therefore presents to the people to-day in the persons of Bryan and Watson the best silver ticket in the field—a ticket more representative of American interests than any other, a ticket that stands for just the opposite to that for which the Republican ticket stands. If the people win this fight for financial reform it must be accomplished by the co- operation of the silver forces of all political parties. To secure such co-operation of the different parties it is necessary to have a co- operative ticket. Therefore, Bryan and Watson is not only the best silver ticket but it is also the true co-operative ticket. We have the henor, representing the second national convention of the People’s party, to formally notify you of your nomi- nation for vice president of the United States, and hope you will accept the high trust, and carry our banner of “equal rights to all and special privileges to none” to victory against the combined millions of special privileges, aggregated capital and organized greed. We have the honor to be, yours most respectfully, —Marion Butler. Chairman ex-officio for notification com- mittee. It Is a Great Consultation. St. Paul, Sept. 16.--The twenty-sec- ond annual meeting of the Mississippi Valley Medical association began in St. Paul to-day and will continue for four days. Doctors from the far East and from the far West are here in great numbers, about 400 physicians and about 200 members of their fami- lies being present. The members of the association are not convening for business only, but the programme in- cludes many events of a social nature which will interest the ladies of. the party. The programmes for the fore- noons and afternoons will for the most part be given up to the reading of pa- pers of interest to the profession, but the evenings have practically been given into the charge of the ladies. Surprising Indictment. Le Sueur, Minn., Sept. 16. — Fred Wommer’s friends were much sur- prised to learn that the grand jury had indicted him for embezzlement from his former employer, W. H.

Mr. Wommer talks freely on the mat- ter and says that there is still due him from Mr. Segelbaum several times that amount. New York Democrats. Buffalo, Sept. 16.—-It seems probable that the ticket to be named by the Democratic state convention will be as follow: Governor. John Boyd Thatcher, Albany; lieutenant gover- nor, Charles P. McClelland, West- chester; judge court of appeals, Robert Cc. Titus, Buffalo. The platform will be brief if the wishes of those present are carried out. It will indorse the Chicago platform and ticket. Used the Kerosene Can. Minneapolis, Sept. 16.—H. B.

A Winnebago City special to the Minneapolis Tribune says “The swine plague has again struck this county. Tke losses to the county last year from that causé were estimated at from $75,000 to $100,000. Many farm- ers went to work at once to replace their herds, believing that the danger was past. Probably nearly as many hogs could have been counted in this county the 1st of August as a year ago. About that time the plague was reported in a few herds. Since then it has spread rapidly, until to-day it is reported to be working its ravages on every side of town. The disease is much more fatal than last year. Al- ready about one-third of the hogs in the vicinity are dead from the plague. Farmers have found corn-raising to feed to cattle and hogs run together during feeding season to be much more profitable than wheat-growing. An excellent crop is already mature enough to feed, snd will be of little value in the market at present prices. These conditions, together with the fact that the plague is still rapidly spreading, make the losses for this county very great.” Electric Eyes for the Blind, ~ ‘A story hails from Russia about @ new instrument for making the blind to see, said to be the invention of Dr, Noishewski.

In stating that the blind can “see” by this instrument a relative meaning only is intended. While their actual vision will be unaffected, they wiil feel the various effects of changing light by its action. It is claimed that Dr. Noishewski has enabled a totally blind man to find the windows in a room, and after a little practice to distin- guish approaching men from appreach- ing animals. It is further stated that the inventor is at work upon improve ments to his device, which he hopes to make so efficient that the blind will ba able to tell almost with certainty when they are approaching opaque or trans+ parent objects.
