He boarded the train at Oelwein and had a bicycle checked through to St. Paul. The train was late on account of the snow storm, and it was nearly 8 o’clock when it arrived. Haines went up town from the union station and at 11 oclock he was in jail at the central police station on a charge of attempting to pass a forg. check for $1,285 on the Savings Bank of St. Paul. He gave his age as twen- ty-six yea id that he was married, had one clild, a litde girl one year old, and live’/ on a farm two miles from Altoona /Iowa. Haines is no doubt mental) unbalanced. N. D., and whose name the police ton, did not ascertain, was the victim of a daring robbery at Fourth ayenue south and Fourth street. Upon his arrival at the union depot the victim was met by two men who professed acquaint- anceship and proposed a drink. They went from one saloon to a second, and there the victim refused to drink and a third man promptly arrived on the scene and claimed he knew the victim and was going south. The four then started out to see the sights, and at the corner mentioned the strangers asked him if he had his money all right. The innocent victim drew $75, all his money, from his pccket to show them, whereat ene of the gang snatched it and all three took to their heels, escaping. " Adverse to the Merritts, St. Paul, Nov. 11.—The United States court of appeals has reversed the de- cision of the United States circuit court in the case of Alfred Merritt vs. John D. Rockefeller. The case was brought «So recover $1,187,000. It grew out of the failure of the Merritts and the ac- quirement by John D. Rockefeller of all their immense iron properties on the Mesaba range, including the Du- luth, Mesaba & Northern railway. Merritt claimed he was defrauded. The ease was tried in Duluth before Jadge Ritter of Colorado. The jury rendered a verdict in favor of Merritt for $940,- 000. The court, in reversing this, re- mands the case for a new trial. Torren’s Land Law. Ottawa, Ill, Nov. 11. — In an opinion filed to-day in the supreme court of Illinois the Torrens land title act of the Illinois legislature is held unconstitu- tional. TO RELEASE CUBA, ain is sai to have a D: Pla! n. Washington, Noy. 10—Information of the most startling character regarding a correspondence between President Cleveland and the Spanish minister, Senor Dupuy de Lome, concerning the future course of this country toward Cuba, was current here to-day. It is said that a few days ago the presi- dent, in a semiofficial manner, sent to ascertain from the Spanish minister whether he had any information that he might be willing to give regarding the future course of Spain toward the insurgents in Cuba. To this suggestion Senor Dupuy de Lome is said to have returned a letter in which he assured the president that within sixty days from the date thereof (Nov. 1) Spain would have crushed the revolution or withdrawn her troops from the island. To this astounding rejoinder Presi- dent Cleveland is said to have replied on the following day that he would consider the information imparted by the Spanish minister as sufficient to justify his government in delaying any action until the expiration of the time named and that by the same token he would feel justified in recommending recognition .of the Cuban republic should the Spanish government fail to restore peace within two months. In the opinion of those who know the Spanish minister this move on his part is regarded as a clever diplomatic at- tempt to forestall any action by the president based on the report that Con- sul General Lee is believed to be about to make and to secure a post- ponement of action by the executive until the winter campaign shall have been inaugurated. Gen. Lee, in a private conversation to-day, stated that it would not only be impossible for the Spanish govern- ment to suppress the Cuan insurrec- tion in sixty days, but that it will be fully as impossible, with her present financial and military resources, for Spain to put down the rebellion before the next rainy season, and that in such an event Spain will be ferced to with- draw her forces and give up the at- tempt to conquer the Cubans. He de- clared that he regarded as extremely improbable the immediste occurrence of Spanish success, and he informed the secretary of state that Spain, real- izing this, would be glad to find some means for closing the war without seeming to lose prestige among na- tions, and without giving the oR: ponents of the party in power at Mad- rid too much political capital. Jen. Lee intimated that h believed the policy to be adopted to attain this end involves the commission of some overt act aga t the United States which will r in. such an emphatic protest by this country that no apology can be accepted. He declared that Gen. Weyler and his adviser appear to regard the commission of such an act as necessary to close the hostilities with honor to Spain. Peacenble Settlement. New York, Noy. 10—The Morning Ad- vertiser says it was reported in this city yesterday that the ex-consul gen- eral to Havana, Ramon O. Williams, might be expected here from Europe in about ten day Although the fact of Mr. Williams’ presence in Spain es- caped the vigilance of the newspaper correspondents in the Spanish capital, it is nevertheless true that he has been in Madrid for three. weeks past and in the immediate circle of his family. It was announced that he was to leave for New York by one of the North German liners on Saturday. While the fact cannot, for obvious reasons, be definitely learned, it is generally be- lieved by his personal nds that Mr. Williams’ visit to Madrid has been made as an agent of the United States with a view of making some arrange- ment by which a peaceable solution of the Cuban question might be brought about. SUPERIOR IRON MINES. om Frank Rockefeller’s to Resume Op- erations, Cleveland, Noy. 10—KFrank Rockefell- er has gone to the Lake Superior iron mining district to arrange for an im- mediate resumption of work in all de- partments of his extensive mining in- terests there. Among the iron mines which, beginning within a few days, will be operated in full force and full time are the Franklin, Bessemer No. 1, Bessemer No. 2 and Victoria on the Mesaba range; the Zenith on the Ver- million range and the Atlantic and Ponce on the Gogebic range. These mines have been closed for several months and the resumption of opera- tions will give employment to about 1,500 men. It is also expected that within the next few days orders will also be given for a resumption of work at all the mines controlled by John D. Rockefeller and which give employ- ment to even a greater number of men than those owned by his brother. To Be Tried for Bribery. Paris, Noy. 10.—At a cabinet council at the Elysee palace it was decided to inform Great Britain that Emil Arton, who was sentenced yesterday at Ver- sailles to eight years’ imprisonment, after having been convicted of embez- zlement and fraudulent bankruptcy, foregoing any benefit which he is en- titled under the extradition treaty be- tween Great Britain and France, would be tried on the charge of bribing officials in connection with the Pana- ma manipulations. Will Continue the Fight. Washington, Nov. 10—The campaign for the free coinage of silver will be waged with vigor during the next four years in preparation for the election of 1900. The directors of the American Bimetallic union, who constitute the bulk of the silver leaders in three parties, have decided to maintain head- quarters in this city, from which to send out literature. The branch office at Chicago will be consolidated with the Washington office, but the San Francisco branch is to be continued. Relative of President Monroe. ,) Dubuque, Iowa, Noy. 10 —Miss Kath- erine Monroe, aged seventy-six, is dead. She was the sister of Judge Thomas Monroe, and, perhaps, the last relative of President James Monroe. Her father served in the war of 1812. The family lost valuable lands in Vir- ginia during the war and then came West. The homestead here became the home for the friendless some years ago, but remained Miss Mouroe’s home until her death. She is said to have been an accomplished and beautiful woman. MKINLEY’S POLICY IT IS OUTLINED BY CHAIRMAN HAN- , NA IN AN INTERVIEW. The President-Elect Hopes to Form a National Party to Include Men of All Shades of Fornfer Political Belief—Statements Are Issued by Populist Chairman Buter and Mr. Towne — A Telegram From Mr. Bryan, New York, Nov. 10.—The World this morning says: Mark Hanna gave the World the following outline of what he understood to be President-elect McKinley’s general policy: “I have had but comparatively brief conversations with Maj. McKinley since his election. This week I expect to meet him in Cleveland. I presume that he will have more details than I am at present aware of. But this much I know. He feels that he owes much to the patriotic Democrats who prefer principle to strict party ties. Indiana, for instance, was unquestionably car- ried against fusion by Democratic votes. He recognizes t..e very great service performed by Democratic and Independent newspapers during the campaign. Maj. McKinley will en- deavyor to see collécted a great nation- al party that will give prosperity to the country. He expects and hopes that men of all shades of former po- litical belief will be united to this end. 1 have talked with some of the most influential of the old Democratic lead- ers and I am glad to say they are in accord with Maj. McKinley’s hopes. The first movement he will make will be obtain sufficient revenue to con- duct the government. Further issues of bends woukl be altogether too dangerous. Business prosperity and stability demand that as soon as pos- sible the government should be on a paying basis. To this end an extra session of congress will be necessary and President McKinley will undoubt- edly call one soon after his inaugura- tion. Legislation will be required to secure the desired revenue and Mr. McKinley will do everything in his power to secure it, as well as the legal establishment of a policy which will tend to put everybody at work. In all this he hopes and expects that he will be backed by patriotic men, regardless of party lines. As for myself I am not after any office and will endeavor to attend to private business affairs which need my personal attention.” To the Populist. Washington, Noy. 10—Chairman But- ler, of the Populist national committee, in an address to the Populists, says, in part: : “Had it not been for the prejudice against the Democratic name, as well as a want of confidence in Democratic _promises, for which it must be frankly ‘admitted past experience fu:nished ample ground, a majority of the votes of the country, in spite of the tremend- ous and unparalleled forces put for- ward by the Republican managers, would have cast their vote for financial reform and American independence. ; The People’s party, with a high patri- otism and an unselfish devotion to principle, greater than ever before ex- ;hibited by any other party, stepped out- ‘side of its organization to throw its 2,000,000 votes solidly for Bryan. Had ‘not more than this number of those who called themselves Democrats in 1894, given their support to Mr. Mc- Kinley, the cause of the people and American principles would have tri- umphed this year. This class of Dem- ocrats will surely support the party of monopolies and trusts in the future. Their plgces in the rgnks of the re- form hosts must be taken by patriotic Republicans. In fact, Bryan would have been elected in this contest had even 25,000 more silver Republicans come to the rescue. The position of the People’s party in this great contest has convinced every patriotic Ameri- can that the party can be trusted to stand for the principles of good govern- ment and the interests of the people under any and all circumstances. Therefore, the People’s party will be- the nucleus around which the patriotic hosts must and will gather to redeem a betrayed republic and _ to restore prosperity to an oppressed and out- raged people.” Statement by Towne. Duluth, Minn., Novy. 10—Congressman Charles A. Towne has made the fol- lowing statement: “I wish it distinctly understood that I am not crushed by my defeat, as has been rumored. The slanders connect- ed with the way I have met the re- sult of the election have been of a piece with those which characterized its progress. When I took the stand many months ago in behalf of the wel- fare of the people, as I understood it, and against the trusts end gold stand- ard powers, I then underwent all the bitterness of self-renunciation. I was prepared for personal failure. I was not consulting my own selfish interest. Had I done so I should have been com- plant to the will of the reigning pow- ers of the Republican party. I took my political life in my hand with full knowledge of the contingencies and prepared for either fortune. Thence- forward it was the people’s fight more than mine. As to the cause itself, for which we have fought so valorously, we shall not despair of it. We believe that events will justify our contention, that no permanent prosperity is possi- ble under the gold standard. When that demonstration is made we shall come forward again, and, reinforced by the unanswerable arguments of ex- perience, we shall restore the money of the constitution and the reign of the people. Our noble leader, Mr. Bryan, is young, vigorous and undismayed. In 1900 I expect him to lead us to victory in the greatest popular uprising the American ballot has ever evidenced. Meantime we believe in the rule of the majority and will submit with good grace to the laws and policies that the successful party may inaugurate.” Telegram to Bimetallists, Lincoln, Neb., Noy. 10. — Mr. Bryan gave out the following telegram, ad- dressed to the Eastern bimetallists: “In the hour of defeat I send you greeting. No words of praise can suf- ficiently commend you. When I re- member that the Eastern states sent gold delegates to both conventions, and ,that nearly all the Eastern papers were ‘against bimetallism. your fight appears rama rica bly eveditahle Vou hava shown yourselves heroes, and events will vindicate the position you have taken. Continue the fight.” ~ Mr. Bryan. is receiving numerous tel- egrams and letters of response to his address calling upon the advocates of silver to continue their efforts in that behalf, assuring him of concurrence in this view and of co-operation in the work. Many of the messages are from club organizations. He has set the 24th inst. for the reception tendered him by the people of Denver. Some Election Returns, St. Paul, Nov. 10.—A number of re- ports of the official vote in various counties have been received which make slight changes in the totals of yesterday morning. Beltrami county, which is still to come, will give Re publican majorities. The ten precincts of St. Louis county yet unheard from will add to the Republican totals. Clay and Wilkin counties are still lacking a few precincts which will probably swell the adverse vote, but none of these precincts can affect the results. Thus far McKinley’s majority in Min- nesota is 52,084 and Clough’s 3,267. St. Paul, Noy. 10. — A special from Yankton, S. D., says: It is apparent, almost beyond doubt, that the Repub- lican state ticket is elected. In the six Black Hills counties the Republican ticket is 150 to 400 ahead of the Mc- Kinley electors. The Republican con- gressmen have ran rearly even with the state ticket and are also probably elected. K. G. Phillips, Republican candidate for state treasurer, ran 400 ahead of the electors in the Black Hills. Bismarck, N. D., Nov. 10. — Nearly complete returns in this state give Mc- Kinley a majority of 5,417. The Re- publicans have a majority of twenty- five in the legislature on joint ballot. Louisville, Nov. 10. — Both sides are still claiming Kentucky, but indica- tions are that the Republicans carried se state by a majority of a few hun- SNOW DEEP.

Thousands of acres of corn are covered and only about half of the grain is threshed, and settlers are not prepared for winter. The five inches of spow that fell yesterday has blown into drifts and railway cuts, making railroading difticult. Chamberl.in, 8S. D., Nov. 10.—George Wilson, a farmer living in Pleasant Grove township, lost thirty-six sheep as a result of the unusually severe weather. Stockmen from west of the Missouri river say that cattle are drifting to sheltered places in the tim- ber along the White river. Miller, S. D., Nov. 10.—Reports from the county indicate that many persons will suffer and stock perish on account of the heavy snow storms making the roads impassable. Few are prepared for wixter. Stewartville, Minn., Noy. 10. — Snow fell yesterday to the depth of four inches. The weather is mild and it will probably disappear shortly. Foot Ball Games.

Santiago de Chile, Nov. 10. — The Chilean cabinet has resigned in conse- quence of the passage through the chamber of deputies of a vote of cen- sure of the government. The cabinet crisis in ‘‘hile grew out of a disagree- meut between the cabinet and presi- dent Errayuriz over appointments to office made by members of the cabinet. India’s Famine. Bombay, Noy. 10.—The earl of Elgin, viceroy of India, speaking at a banquet at Alwar on the famine outlook, said that recent news from the Punjab and the Northwest provinces was some- what reassuring. The fact that the Punjab had not yet felt the need of re- lief showed that the distress was not yet acute. Claimed by Republicans. Louisville, Noy. 10. — The following statement was given out to-day from Republican headquarters: ‘Practical- ly complete official returns give Mc- Kinley 444 plurality in Kentucky, un- official advices indicating that the four missing counties will increase rather than decrease these figures.” Drifted Three Days. Chicago, Noy. 10—Seven men and one woman, composing the crew of the schooner Rising Star, after drifting in a helpless condition on a leaking vessel down storm-lashed Lake Michigan frof Tuesday noon until Friday night, were towed into port by the steamer Colin Campbell.

He Reviews the Late Presidential Campaign and Gives His Reasons for the Defeat of the Cause of Which He Was the Leader —He Declares That the Fight Will Be Waged With Vigor. Lincoln, Neb., Nov. 8.—Mr. Bryan has given out the following to the bimetal- lists of the United States: Conscious that millions of loyal hearts are saddened by temporary defeat, I beg to offer a word of hope and encouragement. No cause ever had supporters more brave, earnest and devoted than those who have espoused the cause of bimetallism. They have fought from conyiction, and have fought with all the zeal which conviction inspires. Events will prove whether ,they are right or wrong. Having done their duty as they saw it, they have nothing to regret. The Republican candidate has been heralded as the advance agent of prosperity. If his policies bring real prosperity to the American people those who opposed him will share in that prosperity, If, on the other hand, his polcies prove an injury to the people generally, those of his sup- porters who do not belong to the offlice- 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 simply been overcome. They believe that the gold stand- ard is a conspiracy of the money changers against the welfare of the human race, and until convinced of their error, they will continue the warfare against it. The contest has been waged this year under great embarrassments and against great odds. For the first time during this generation, public attention has been cen- tered upon the money question as the para- mount issue, and this has been done in spite of all attempts upon the part of our oppo- nents to prevent It. The Republican con- vention held out the delusive hope of inter- national bimetallism, while Republican leaders labored secretly for gold mone- metallism. Gold standard Democrats have publicly advocated the election of the In- dianapolis ticket, while they labored secret- ly for the election of the Republican ticket. tried have been defying the law, and American financiers have boasted that they were the custodians of national honor, while they were secretly bartering away ‘the na- tion's financial independence. But in spite of the efforts of the administration and its supporters; in spite of the threats of money lJoaners at home and abroad; in spite of the coercion practiced by corporations em- ployers, in spite of trusts and syndicates, in spite of an enormous Republican campaign fund, and 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 bimetal- lism for the presentf, but bimetallism emerged from the contest stronger than it was for months before. Their Work Commended, I desire to commend the work of the three national committees which have joined in the management of this campaign. Co-op- eration between the members of distinct political organizations is always difficult, but it has been less so this year than usual. Interest in a common cause of great im- portance has reduced friction to a minimum. I hereby express my personal gratitude to the individual members, as well as the executive officers of the natioaal committee of the Democratic, Populist and silver par- ties, for their ditlicult, untiring and unsel- fish 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 grieve because of my defeat, My ambition has been to secure immediate legislation rather than to enjoy the honors of office. There- fore, defeat brings to me no feeling of per- sonal loss. Speaking for the wife who has shared my labors, as well as for myself, 1 desire to say that we have been aimply te- paid for all we have done. In the love of millions 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 fo-th. Our hearts have been touched by the devotion of friends, and our lives shall prove our appre- ciation of, the affection which we prize as the richest reward which this campaign has brought. In the face of an enemy rejoicing at its victory, let the roll be called for the engage- ment, and urge all friends of bimeta'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, let each advocate of bimetallism continue the work. Let all silver clubs retain their or- ganization, hold regular meetings and circu- late literature. Our opponents. have suc- ceeded in this campaign, and must now put their theories to the test. Instead of talk- ing mysteriously about “sound money” and “an honest dollar’ they must now elaborate and defend a financial system. Every step taken by them should be publicly considered by the silver clubs. Our cause has pros- pered most where the money question has been longest discussed among the people. During the next four years it will be studied all over this nation, even more than it has been studied in the past. The year 1900 is not far away. Before that year arrives those who have called themselves gold standard Democrats will become bimetallists and be with us, or be- come Republicans and thus open enemies. Before that year arrives trusts will have convinced still more people that a trust is a menace to private welfare and to public safety; before that year arrives, the evils of a gold standard will be even more evident than they are now, and the people then ready to demand an American financial pol- fey for the American people and will join with us in the immediate restoration of the free and unlimited coinage of gold and silver at the present legal ratio of 16 to 1, without waiting for the aid or consent of any other nation. —wW.

Mrs. Coke, who expects to arrive in San Francisco to-day, has become known to Fresno as a woman endowed with unusual pluck, and possessing at the same time a happy faculty of being able to make her way in the world without much trouble. Her many friends were astonished somewhat over a year ago when she procured an appointment from Gov. Budd as a notary public at Fresno ,as she was the only feminine holder of such an offce in that portion of the state. When she set up her desk, however, and began to reap a yolden harvest by administering oaths and affixing seals, they changed their opinions and ad- mired her pluck. Her subsequent ad- mission to the bar only served to ade to her popularity, and she is now a conspicuous and respected member of the legal profession in Fresno. Al though she has met with considerable success in her profession, Mrs. Coke has decided that she could never be content to remain all her life in Fres- no, or in California, and she has de- termined to seek broader fields in which to labor. She also wants to see more of the world, and it is this latter desire that has influenced her to go to Africa. She will go first to Honolulu, thence to New Zealand and Australia, in all of which places she will devote some time to sight-seeing. Then she will make her way to Cape Town and Johannesburg. Mrs. Coke expects to find ready employment in Johannes- burg. Should she fail to succeed in es- tablishing a profitable law practice, she will probably return to Fresno, visiting Burope on her way home.—San Fran- cisco Examiner. Agents Wanted.
