About 200 members | of the association were present. The Prin-! cipal guests of the evening were Vice-| President Stevenson, Secretary Hoke Smith, D. Morgan, Treasurer of the United States} United States Senator | Charles J. Faulkuer of West Virginia and | John L. Seymour, Commissioner of Pat- | ents. Attorney-General Harmon was ex- | vected to be present to respond to the | toast “The President of the United States,” but he was detained in Washington by Government business before the Supreme Court, | Secretary Smith spoke to the toast, “The 1 | erty is quite heavy. Public Credit.”” Mr. Smith’s speech was in advocacy of a gold standard as opposed to free silver. Secretary Hoke Smith, at the dinner of the Young Men’s Democratic Association to-night, in opening his address declared that Andrew Jackson was a ‘“sound-money Democrat.”” He said the Republicans left the treasury practically empty, with the exception of the gold reserve, when turned over to the Democrats on March 4, 1893. He urged that the financial disturbance began before the revenues had ceased to be sufficient to meet the expenses of the Government; also that the first deficiency was before the passage of new tariff legis- lation, there having been a deficiency in round numbers of $60.000,000 during the twelve months immediately preceding the repeal of the McKinley bill. He also showed that since the passage of the Sher- rchasing act, gold to the amount | of $395,000,000 had been withdrawn from the treasury. Concluding his remarks, the Secretary said: “No one questions the gbility of the | Government t> meet its current expenses. It is the doubt as to the purpose of the | Government to maintain gold as a stand- ard which has created the distrust, which has shaken contidence, which has checked | business and lessened the revenue. Re- move this doubt and the increase of the general prosperity will readily take care of the question of the reveuues, “Andrew Jackson was distinguished for his courage and patriotism. Let Demo- crats meet the issue before the country with the same spirit and Republican ma- es will fade before them.’” . Celebrated at Little Rock. LITTLE ROCK, Ark., Jan. 8, Club appropriately n’s day to-night by an elaborate banquet, the most rotable event in the mistory of the ciub, which is composed of the most prominent Democrats of this city and State.

Intends to Decorate a Montreal Stage With Several Gross of the Emblems. NEW YORK, N. Jan. 8.—Many persons who go to Theatrical Manager Edward E. Rice’s burlesque shows have noticed tkat the American flag plays a prominent part in the productions. One of Mr. Rice's productions is called *1492,” as nearly everybody knows, and it thoroughly American. There is an en- trancing Columbian march in one act, where the pretty girls wear very little except the stars and stripes, of about the | dimensions usually used patriotic Christmas-trees. to decorate Mr. Rice took this entirely American | production to Australia last year. It is said it would have duplicated there its suc- cesses in New York but for the fact that Mr. Rice refused to substitute the Union Jack for Old Glory. Great bitterness was thereby engendered and Mr. Rice came home disgusted. He sent his show to Canada last week. Everything went well until Monday night, when a week’s engagement was begun in the Acaderny of Music, Montreal. There Mr. Rice expected the show to do a profit- able business. His amazement therefore knew no bounds that night when he re- ceived the news that his flags had been hissed and he immediately telegraphed to Lis manager, “Give them the American flag or no show.” Early yesterday morning Mr. Rice rushed down to the office of Lawyer Charles S. Hess and instructed Mr. Hess to draw up an appeal to the State Depart- ment and Mr. Hess did it. Mr. Rice next went out and bought several gross of American flags, together with the finest silk Old Glory he could find. These he vacked in histrunk and at § o’clock he boarded a New York Central train for Montreal. Before starting Mr. Rice told Mr. Hess that he intended to decorate the theater with American flags to-day, and, more- over, that he would drive from the railway station to his hotel ina cab festooned with the American colors. Rice's friends ay he wonld carry ont his threat if he had to cancel the entire Canadian tour of the +1492” company. e TORTURED BY WHITES, Ruffians Compel an Aged Indian to Sur- render His Gold. PARIS, Tex., Jan. 8.—In the mountains twenty miles east of Tushkahoma, Ind. T., Jack Battiste, an old Choctaw, was re- ported to have kept money at his honse. Sunday four white men, who had disguised themselves in various entered the house and stood around fcr a while warm- ing themselves. Then they took Battiste out of the house, and tried by threats to et him to tell where his money was hid- sen. but he refused. This was followed by an namerciful lashing, in which his skin and flesh were terribly lacerated. Still he would not tell. He was then trauled up by the neck and hanged until life was almost extinct. As soon as he could speak after being let down he told them to tell his wife to give thcm the money, and she gave them $750. The bandits then went away. - DISABLED AT SEA. The German Steamer Bayonne Helpless on the Atlantic. ROSTON, Ma Jan. 8.—The steamer Yurumuri (N orwegian), Captain Ingert- sen, arrived to-day from Port Morant, Jamaica, and reports that at daylizht yes- terday morning she fell in with the Ger- ank steamer Bayonne of Bremen, n von Hugo, from Venice December 11, braltar December 20, for Phila- delphia, with the loss ot all the blades of her propeller. She was under sail. Captain von Hugo requested to be towed to New York, but as the Yurumuri had scarcely coal enough to enable her to reach port-and had a perishable cargo aboard the latter was unable to render assistance. When the Yurumuri left the disabled steamer she was about 110 miles off South Shoal lightship. AN ISR Wrecked by an Explosion.

Lord Salisbury could not possibly face Parliament with the statement that he had refused to meet the United States on this ground. The first movement in this particular issue between the two countries should have, perhaps, come from our| Government as soon as Secretary Olney’s | dispatch was handed to Lord Salisbury. **Our conviction is that when Lord Salis- bury shall have replied it will be time for the English people to speak touching the necessity for what Kant called ‘perpetual peace.” This would involve the establish- ment of a permanent court of arbitration | advise upon and adjudicate all disputes | that may arise. That court, Wwe are able to say, the American Government desires.”” WAR TALK IN JAMAICA. Sentiment Divided Between English and American Claims. NEW YORK, N.

Settlement of the Receivership Affair Is Thought to Be Close at Hand. SEATTLE, Wash., Jan. 8.—While re- fraining from expressing a positive opinion, Receiver Burleigh of the North- ern Pacific is not inclined to place very | much credence in the report to the effect that the receivership matter is to be handed over to the control of the five Supreme Court Justices sent out to-day from Milwaukee. ‘‘As a matter of fact,” Mr. Burleigh said, ‘“the ~orthern Pacific Railroad extends not through five but three—seventh, eighth and ninth—United States judicial circuits, though the main officers of the company are in the New York circuit. If.such a movement is on foot,” Mr. Burleigh con- tinued, “I know nothing of it, for action would be taken by thelawyersin the case.” As regards what would probably be done to-morrow at Helena by Circuit Judge Gilbert, Mr. Burleigh said action would have no relation to the new phase; that it was merely more to unify the receivership for the ninth circuit, comprising the States of Washineton, Oregon, fdahu and Mon- tana. The final settlement of the Northern Pacific receivership muddle, Mr. Burleigh thinks, is near at hand, as *‘there is a point beyond which great interests not per- mit warring p: 2 HUMBOLDT RAILWAY.

THE STORY TOLD BY VINTON. A Motion to Discharge the Defendants on the Ground of Insufficient Proof Denied. UKIAH, Car., Jan. 8.—Last Monday morning at 10 o’clock the preliminary ex- nination of Baylis Van Horn, John Crow and Joe Gregory, charged with the mur- der of Jack Littlefield at Red Mountain on the 27th of last September, began before Justice Philbrook. District Attorney Bartlett appeared for the people and D. G. Reid for the defense, and Frank Woodbury was sworn in as stenographer to report the testimony. The first witness called for the prosecu- tion was John M. Vinton, who testified that he had been shot by Littlefield two days before the date of the alleged mur- der, while riding on the range. The shoot- ing of Vinton was what led to the hanging of Littlefield. Vinton testified that the man who shot him had his face covered, but he recog- nized Littlefield by his peculiar stoop. It was late in the afternoon, but there was light enough to see plainly. In response to a question as to where he was shot Vin- d showed a bullet wound in his breast on the right side and an inch or so trom the breast- bone. The bullet passed through his body, breaking a couple of ribs in its passage. Following Vinton, George Van Horn, George Kindred, B. Hayden, Dryden Leacock, better known as “‘Buck” Lea- cock, and F. R. Radeciiffe testitied. Court then adjourned till Tuesday mornir On Tuesday the prosecution rested its case after the following witnesses were heard: James Wilburn Jr., who testified that Littiefield was wiih him and not near the scene of the shooting of Vinton; Wil- liam Espy, Frank Potter, John Wathen, stepson of Ves Palmer, employer of Little- ield; Walter Clark, J. Box, W.: P. O’Neil, W. Shields, P. G. Potter and Thos. Steeie. The testimony was of a general charac- ter and followed the eventsfrom the shoot- g of Vinton to the killing of Littlefield, giving the movements and whereabouts of the defendant to the best knowledge of the witnesses. There was testimor v as | to the gathering at Vinton’s house of a number of men andof a search being made for tracks, ete.; of the arrest of Lit- tlefield and of the events subsequent to the arrest as far as known. At the close of the testimony counsel for the defense moved that the defendants be discharged on the ground that the evi- dence was insufficient to justify holding them for trial. The motion was then ar- gued and suvmitted, the court taking the matter under advisement till Wednesday morning at 10 o'clock, at which time the motion was denied. Court then adjourned till 2 o’clock of the same day, at which time the defense asked for a continuance until January 20 in order to enable it to produce testimony in its behalf. The request was granted, and the hear- g was continued till Monday, January , a1 10 o’clock P O FAILUREF. Thomas E. Hugles, the Father of Fresno, Fails Through Overloading.
