[&] THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 2, 1896. thereare Democrats who are proud of the past four years I have not seen them.” The speaker then laid down what he conceived to be the principles of the Re- publican party. ‘It favers free speech and free bands,” he said, *‘and above all is for a tariff that will revive the slumbering industries of the country. [Applause.] The Republican party is to-day the genu- e party of bimetallism; it favors gola and silver and such legislation as will keep them at par, so that a silver dollar will be worth 100 cents in every land where comm rce is known. dt believes in preserving all forms of the cur- rency of this country at par, so that the workingmen’s silver dollar shall be worth as much as the banker’s gold 1n the vault. There is more money in this country to- day than there has ever been before, and the money question 1s not the cause of our troubles.” 2 2 Here some one in the aundience in- quired, ““Where is all this money 2.’ I will tell you where it is,” replied the speaker with spirit and amid ‘cheers. “When the Democrats struck down the industries of the country by passing the Wilson bill, they closed the factories, drove capital out of business, made work- men idle and brought universal bank- ruptcy and despair.” At this point there was prolonged ap- plaase and great cheering. The speaker then explained how the Democrats, hav- ing failed to conduct the affairs of the Government on the tariff theory, recently cast about for a new battle-cry and chose the silver issue. “But the people have memories,” he said, *and I do not believe they will try the Democratic panacea again. The people want domestic and foreign commerce; they want a revival of indus- tries, and, above all, protection against the cheap labor of foreign lands. [Cheers.] In California particularly we need a de- velopment of one great industry—the pro- duction of sugar beets—a business that would in time give employment to thou- sands and enable this State to furnish sugar for the entire Union. [Applause. ““We want such a policy as will open the factories of the country, and until the in- dustries of workshops and field are revived 1t will not help any one to Increase, the money of the country even to billions of dollars.” [Cheers.] The speaker explained that it was the stamp of the Government that made all American money iaterchangeable at par, and that he, with his party, believed in maintaining gold and silver at par. In this country there were no classes, and there should be no sections. “The Democrats are trving to create doubt and confusion in the minds of the Eeople b¥ appealing to the envy in our earts. his thought I want you to bear in mind; the thought that we need pro- tection. Bear in mind that the Demo- crats have reaffirmed their free-trade no- tions in their Chicago platform—the same old party trying to sneak back to power under a new ang false issue. [Applanse.] “If you are dissatisfied with these laws, if you are tired of seeing this Nation bor- oW money to pay running expenses in times oi profound peace, vote the Demo- cratic party out of power and put back the Republicans, who will restore corfidence and bring prosperity to the land again.” Throughout the delivery of the speech there was the greatest imaginable enthu- siasm, and Mr. Shortridge’s concluding remarks moved the audience to prolonged cheering. In substance be said: “Fellow-citizens, you cannot tear down one section of the country without injur- ing the other; you cannot put out the fires of the furnaces without affecting the farmer. We must preserve this great ountry for our own people. We must devise ways and means to give employ- ment to our own people, and 1t is infinitely better, wiser, it is more patri- otic, to make it a matter of sentimentj to give empioyment to the men of New Eng- land and the South and West, and to California, than it is to start the factories of England guing or open the mills of Germany, “Now, fellow-citizens, I beg to appeal to the Republicans of this city and county, and T ask you toremember thatthe Re- publican party is worthy of your confi- dence and support now as it has been in the past. [Applause.] I ask you, men and women, under the banner of ti.e early fathers, the great leaders of the party, to stand firm 1n this campaign. “I ask the young men of the Republican party to remember that they have a brave and a serious duty to perform, and that the party of their fatkers is worthy of their allegiance. I ask the thoughtful Demo- crats who are here, who love their State, who believe in the constitution, men who believe in tie supremacy of the law, men who believe 1in the faith and in the honor of the Nation, to stand under the Republican banner. I ask F‘m to consider the position of the Re- publican party and what it has done; to consider that it is the friend of silver; that it is the friend of all the currency we have, and to remember that all of this currency is at par because of the laws which the Republican party enacted. *With our boundless prairies it isa sad and pathetic thing to know that men are begging for the poor privilege of toiling for their daily bread. If a statesman wants to earn the credit of his country- men he will give honest men 'a chance to toil, and William Mec- Kinley is a man to give the people of this country, under his jeadership, under the principles which he espouses, a chance to work, and a chance to earn an honest living. [Applause.] Republicaus, let me ask you to orzanize; and, if there be any lack of harmony, to harmonize. Let me ask yon to march shoulder to shoulder, and march confidently, and lift the banner high and proudly, because it is the banner of vrotection, the banner of bimetallism, the banner of prosperity, and the banner which, in the hands of Me- Kinley, will be lifted higher than all the banners of the earth, so that if the other great powers of the world do not love it, they will learn to respect and to fear it. [Apvlaus *Bo, ladies and gentlemen, the case, so far as T am concerned, is submitted. You are the jury; you will consider these things. Others will address you, youn will read, you will think, you will consider, judge ihese questions’ caimly in thelizht of experience, and if you do, I have no doubt that the Republican party will not only sweep this county, that you will not only aid in returning your Congressma\, Mr. Bowers, and carry your legislative ticket, but you will assist us of the north cn rolling up a splendid majority for our champion, vour champion, the Nation’s shampion, the spotless and incomparable itatesman, William McKinley.” At the conclusion of the oration of the evening, Rev. Anna Shaw made a pleasing address on woman suffrage. She was cheered with: enthusiasm. Pythian Knights and Swicides. CLEVELAND, Oxio, Sept. L—To-day’s sessicn of the Supreme Lodge, Knights of Pythias, was the warmest of the convention. The report of the board of control, Uniform Rank, recommending that suicides be debarred from all death benefits if death occur within a period of five years after joining the order, aroused a strong opposition. A comypromise was effected whereby the heirs of suicides will be settled with on the graduation system of life expectatior as used by the American Board of Under- writers, o KL Funds of Italians Stolen. BROOKLYN, N. Y., Sept. 1.—The Banca Padulez at 59 Main street, Brooklyn, is closed, and the owners, Pietro Gello and his son, are missing, together with $50,000 belonging to poor Italians living in the neighborhoed. P Hanged at Pittsburg. PITTSBURG, Pa., Sept. 1. — Joseph Orosz, who shot and killed Theresa Bobalt because she refused to marry him, was hangad here this morning, BRYAN ATTRICTS VERY BIG CROWDS Fifty Thousand People Turn Out to Hear Him at Columbus. AN OPEN PARK FILLED. So Vast Is the Throng That the Candidate Divides a Speech Into Four Sections. REPEATS THE USUAL SONG. Says There Is Only One Issue in the Campaign, and That Is Cheap Money. COLUMEUS," Onro, Sept. 1.—In all his career, wonderful as it has been, and filled during the past week with remarkable demonstrations in his honor, Wiliiam J. Bryan never addressed an audience so large and so enthusiastic as that gathered in- the State House grounds to-night. Under the shadow of the big structure where the Ohio Legislature holds its ses- sions, the Democratic nominee saw before him a concourse of Major McKinley’s fel- low State’s people that cannot be com- pared to any political assemblage in the country, except to the thousands of peo- ple who gather in front of the capitol at ‘Washington once every four years to hear anew chief magistrate make his salutatory. Fancy an open park of ten acres and nearly every foot of that great space, with the exception of narrow strips on the very outskirts, choked with human beings, each pressed so closely to his fellows that movement was impossible. The steps of the Capitol building presented one slant- ing mass of perspiring but patient human- ity, who stood in relief sgainst the packed and jammed thousands of their fel- lows on the grassy lawn and cemented pathways. People who have witnessed the inaugu- ration of the Ohio Governors in recent years say that the crowds on those occa- sions never numbered more than 30,000. But to-night everybody was sayiug that the inaugural assemblies did not compare in point of numbers with the magnificent congregation that came to hear the young Democratic candidate on the issues of the campaign. As Mr. Bryan himself said, “It filled all outdoors,” and so far beyond the reach of his voice did the solid human mass ex- tend that Mr. Bryan was obliged to divide his speech into four segments, one deliv- ered from each side of the canopied stand that had been erected for the occasion. Fifty thousand is a conservative estimate of those who were present. People had been pouring into Columbus all day from the surrounding country. This is the second day of the State Fair, and that with the additional attraction of Bryan’s presence filled the city with strangers. Then a number of political organizations, to whom tbe fair had no interest, but whose sode object was to do honor to the Democratic standard-bearer, helped swell the crowds in the streets and to lead in the enthusiasm which was everywhere prevalent. Two thousand miners came from the Hocking Valley. The Newark silver organizations, num- pering 1500, put in an appearance. Two thousand more, composing silver clubs, came from Mount Vernon, and places to the west of Columbus furnished 700. The railro:d companies gave unusually low rates and thousands of people took advan- tage of them. Mr. ard Mrs. Brvan reached Columbus over the Big Four at 3:30 o’clock thisafter- noor in a special car chartered by the members of the Columbus reception com- mittee, who accompanied them from Cleveland. The candidate was cheered by thou- sands at the railway station and by thou- sands more along the mile or more of streets through which he was taken, es- corted by the Franklin County Silver League, the Jackson Club and other local and visiting Bryan and S-wall organiza- tions. There was a tremendous jam at the Chittenden Hotel, where apartments had been secured for Bryan and his wife, but a way was forced through the wildly excited enthusiasts gathered there in the hope of getting a look at the Democratic standard-bearer, and the rest of the pro- cession passed on. . Prior to to-night’s great demonstration n front of thie State House there was an- other parade, in which of course Mr. Bryan was the central figure, seated in a carriage drawn by four white horses. The local silver clubs and those from other glncex in the State, many of them with ands of music at their "heads, marched behind the carriage along streets thronged with interested and cheering spectators, A number of buildings were decorated, the 1llaminations of the permanent arches maintained by Columbus business men here were handsome and the display of fireworks were extreme fine. By good police arrangements far better than that of any city visited by the candidate, a way was kept clear from the outskirts of the g-rk to the stand in front ot the capi- tol building, and through this Mr. and Mrs. Bryan and those accompanying them were enabled to reach the assigned posi- tions with difficulty. Just before they arrived the stand, hitherto darkened, burst into a flood of light, given from scores of electric globes which stndded the ribs supporting the canvas ceiling. The stand was spacious and accommodated not only a number of prominent Democrats and their wives, but tie members of a brass band and the Democratic Glee Club. Nearly every person in that stupendous audience, packed over ten acres of ground, could see the Democratic candidate as he mounted the steps of the rostram and stood before them. And then the cheer- ing bezan. The initial shouts came from those who were the first to see the young Nebraskan, and then they spread through the crowd until it seemed that every man and woman there was testing the capacity of his or her pulmonary organs. “Bryan, Bryan, Bryan!” was the cry, and the cheering rose in volume unul it reached the final limit of enthusiastic potency. James Ross, chairman of the Franklin County Democratic Committee, attempted to call the assemblage to order in his ca- Elcll}' as temporary chairman. But the buzz of voices was so great in volume that it drowned his words, and nobody knew what he was saying, until Allen W. Thur- mau, the son of the “Old Roman, forward and acknowledged hi tion by Mr. Ross. Mr. Thurman did not wut‘e:old‘si. Hclknew what the people wanted, and in a few brief senten senied M. Brean, potled e cheerinz was more intense than it had been at Mr. Bryan’s appearance, and it was several minutes before it ceased. So great was the confusior caused by those who could not hear that the first words of the orator were lost to all but those near him, and he was obliged to la!op until quiet was secured. But this Wwas not accowplished until Mr. Bryan an- nounced that he would speak upon all sides of the platform. he assemblea thousands cave a shout of gratification at this and tried to keep as quiet as their en- thusiasm would allow for the rest of the speech. i Mr. Bryan's argument for silver coinage covered no new points. It was begun follows: This is the largest audience to whom I ever tried to speak. 1 have had occasions to speak where the sudience filled the house, but I never had oceasion to talk where the audience filled ali outdoors. ([Lsughter.] I1f you all vote as you are now shoutlng [voices, “We will!”] T do not see how there can be any question. about the triumwph of free silver in this State. We have entered on a campaign which means much to the American people. 1f our opponents speak truly when they de- scribe what will in their judgment be the effect of free coinage, then the success of the Chicago ticket wili surely be & calamity to the country. If, on the other hand, we speak the truth when we describe to you the effects of & gold standard then the maintenance of & gold standard until forelgn nations come to our re- lief is an evil which canuot be contemplated by those who love their country. We have begun an unceasing wariare against the gold standard. The Republican party, without declaring that the gold standard is a good thing, has de- clared that the gold standard must main- tained. Icall your attention to tne fact that no party in the history of this country has ever in National convention commended, the gold standard. Its effects are so bad that no party has dared to uphold it. At this point Mr. Bryan, who had been facing west as he spoke, now turned to the south front of the plagtform and said he would speak for a while to the people on that side. He continued: The enemy whom we are fighting in this campaign is an enemy who has never goue into ap open battle. The advocates of a gold standard have never dared to submit the gold standard to the arbitrament of a_ballot. Cheers.] Every step that has been taken has cen taken by stealth and without the &p- proval of the American people. [Applause.] When silver was demonetized in 1873 the people bad not discussed it; and persons who were members of Congress &nd who vojed on the mensure testified they did not understand that the bill demonetized silver. When the crime was discovered end the American peo- ple attempted to restore silver to its ancient place by the side of gold the opponenis of free coinage force the Bland sct upon Congress a5 8 compromise, and as soon as the Bland act went into force, the enemies of free silver sought to repeal the Bland act and leave nothing in its plece. But the siiver sentiment grew until 1890, and in that year the opponents of iree coinage, being afraid of the passage of a free coinage’ bili, secured snother Compromise which was known as the Sherman law. bt o dmgiin DEMOCRATIC HEADQUARTERS, Upon Bryan’s Arrival in Chicago a Con- Jerence Will Be Held. CHICAGO, ILL., 8ept. 1L.—J. W. Wilson, United States District Attorney for Ari- zona, was among the visitors at the Illi- nois Democratic headquarters this after- noon. He is very enthusiastic over the prospects for Bfyan’s success in all the States west of the Missouri, declaring that California is well in line, and thatthe only doubtful State west of the Mississippi is Iowa. On Saturday an important conference will take place at the Democratic Na- tional headquarters. Mr. Bryan wiil ar- rive here on Friday evening, and a num- ber of the leaders have been asked tomeet him at Chairman Jones’ rooms the follow- ing morning. The conference is to decide matters in relation to the future conduct of the campaign, and at the same meeting the three vacancies on the National Execu- tive Committee and three on the National Advisory Committee will be filled. Among those to be present are Senator TeHer of Colorado, Governor Altgeid of Ii- linois, Governor Stone of Missouri, Com- witteemen Campan of Michigan, Johnson of Kansas, Gaban of Illinois and McConn- ville of Ohio, and Secretary Walsh. Mr. Howell of Georgia will not be able to be present. Copies of correspondence between Treasurer St. John and a department em- ploye at Washington bave been received here. Theemploye desired to contribute to the campaign fund, and asked if the names of such contributors would be kept guiet, in order to guard against possible isfavor with the present administration. Treasurer St. John replied that under no circumstances would they be made public, unless Mr. Bryan were elected, in which event they might be published as a roll of honor. George B. Keeney, Natipnal organizer of the silver party, and president of the as- sociation of National silver clubs] to-day established headquarters at the Ciifton House, and will remain here until after the National convention of that organi- zation, which occurs on the 23d inst. CLOSING AT WEAVERWILLE Taking of Evidence Completed in the Trial of Jce Gregory. James Simonin Szys George White Off:red Him a Horse to Ride to the Lynching. WEAVERVILLE, CaL, Sept. 1.—The counsel for the defense, Oregon Sanders and Robert R. Fowler, in the trial of Joe Gregory, accused of complicity in the murder of *Jack” Littlefield near Round Valley on September 27, 1895, rested its case at 2:20 o’clock this afternoon and a recess until to-morrow morning was granted to enable counsel to prepare argu- ments. T.roughout the trial Gregory bas displayed an intense interest in the proceedings, ana he has grown thin and nervous in the past week. Richard Lightfoot, cousin of Joe Greg- ory, testified this morning that the mule ridden by Radcliffe on the 27th hud been shod on the 24th of September. When asked what impressed the fact on his memory he said that a short time after Littlefield had been killed, and before the preliminary examination of the accused, he heard that somebody who was track- ing (looking for tracks) about the scene of the murder, had said something about finding the tracks of a baretooted mule, when Mrs. Williamson (Gregory’s mother) remarked : “Our mule was shod. In rebuttal W. F. Whitney, Justice of the Peace at Covelo, testified ti.at Trapper Fancher’s reputation for truth, honesty and integrity was bad. Sylvester Palmer swore that the distance from the break of Jesus Creek to the Wilburn crossing of Eel River was about five or six miles, and that it wouid take a man on horseback at least two hours to travel iv. Sheriff Bergin testified that it took him one hour and forty-six minutes 1o ride from the place of Littlefield’s arrest to the scene of the hanging. James Simonin said that he had-met Joe Lightfoot in the middle of the afternoon of September 26, and that Lightfoot had invited him to join a party to hang Little- field and some halfbreeds. Witness said he had no horse, and so they went up to George White's place and White told them to go and get the Lorse of Tutile, his head vaguero, and say nothing about it. In the evening the witness backed out of the ex- pedition. —_—— SANTA ROSA EXPLOSION. Arthwr Batton’s Curio Proves to Be a Giant Cartridge. SANTA ROSA, CaL, Sept. 1L.—Arthur Batton of Bennett Valley met with a pe- culiar accident here to-day. He had picked up a giant-powder cap somewhere, and, as he had never seen one before, con- sidered it enough of a curiosity to carry around in his pocket. This morning, while lying down on the bank of a creek, engaged in eating a watermelon, the cap exploded in his pocket, making a horribie wound in the flesh and muscles of his leg. The wound was dressed by a physician, but the extent of the injury cannot be as- certained, CLERGYMEN VISIT LI HUNG CHANG Members of Missionary Boards Warmly Greet the Viceroy. THANKS FOR HIS AID. Foreign Work Assisted in the Past by the Policy of the Diplomat. HUNTINGTON MAKES A CALL. The Raiiroad Magnate Accepts an In. vitation to Invest Some of His Wealth m China. NEW YORK, N. Y., 8ept. L.—Li Hung Chang received a deputation of clergymen representing the various American boards of foreign missions engaged in missionary work in China. Rev. Dr. Ellenwood, sec- retary of the Presbyterian board of mis- sions, read an address thanking the Viceroy for the protection afforded American mis- sionaries in China, and for the many kind expressions uttered by Li Hung Chang and others of the appreciation with which the educational work, the services of the missionaries, both men and women, in the hospitals and the self-denying efforts put forth by the missionaries in the ais- tribution of relief in the time of famine were regarded. The clergymen were pre- sented by Hou. Jobn W. Foster, who said they represented the best elementin the United States. The special Embassador made both a verbal and written reply. Through his interpreter he said he appreciated the dis- interested motives which prompted the missionaries to engage in missionary work in China. He was especially gratified at the good work accomplished by the medi- cal coileges. Christianity and Confucian- 1sm have points in common. Both taught ideal truths, the one being vositive, the other negative. He had not words to ex- press his aporeciation of the efforts of Americanstoimprove the souls, the minds and the physique of his countrymen. In conclusion he observed that the opium trade and its use was the great curse of the Chinese people. He iully appreciated tbe efforts made by American missionaries to modify the traffic and pointed with pride to the fact that no con- verts were accepted until they haa aban- doned the opium-smoking babit. He also fully appreciated the prayers offered up by Americans during the illness following his shooting by the Japanese. The Viceroy’s written address was a for- mai acknowledgment of his grateiul wel- come, in which iu the name of the Em- peror of China he tendered his best thanks for the apnroval and appreciation of the protection afforded to American mission- aries. Then Mr. Foster presented the various clergymen, with whom Li shook bands cordially. In nearly every instance he asked their ages. C. P. Huntington was amon« the cailers on Li Hung Chang to-day. He came to offer Li a private car for his journey west~ ward. i asked the usual questions as to age and wealth. He told Mr. Huntington that he knew that he was a very rich man and that he knew that he owned raiirouds and steamboat lines and other big proper- ties. He invited Mr. Huntington to go to China and invest some of his money there, telling bim that he wonid undoubt- edly profit by so doing. His Excellency assured Mr. Huntington that ha would accord him all encouragement for the in- vestment of capital in the development of enterprises in China. Mr. Huntington told the Viceroy that he would go te China and look about him to determine whether to invest money there. This seemed to delight Li Hung Chang, and he shook hands very cordially with Mr. Huntington in bidding him good-by. The Merchants’ Club gave a reception to Li Hung Chang this afternoon. This evening, at Delmonico’s, was given a banquet in Li's honor by the Chinese merchants of the city. the guests includ- ing also the Chinese Minister, the Con- suls-General at New York and Havana, Governor Morton, General Ruger and Mayor Strong. The Viceroy was not present because while leaving the Metchants’ Club aiter lunci one of his fingers was jammed acci- dentally in the door of his carriage. In spite of the pain Li went through the re- mainder of the programme of the after- noon. To-night the injured finger was suffi- ciently painful and swollen so that he re- mained in his appartments at the hotel, his physicians devoting themselves tocar- ing for the injury. He was represented at the dinner by his son, Lord Li, and mem bers of his suite. After the dinner Hon. John W. Foster, in bebalf of Consul Sze, the chairman, said that according to Chinese cus- toms there would be no toasts, Secretary Chune, of the Chinese lega- tion at Washington, however, nro- posed the health of their hosts, the Chi- nese merchants, and Governor Morton, in brief words of regret at the Viceroy’s en- forced absence, asked all present to drink to the Embassador’s health. This closed the function. PROTECTING YOSEMITE PARK. Cannot Be Used for Milling, Mining or Agricultural Pursuits. WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept. 1.—Assist- ant Attorney-General Lit:le of the In- terior Department has rendered an opin- 10on declaring that Lee Vining’s lake in the Yosemite National Park, Cal., cannot be used for milling, mining, or agri- caltural pursuits. J. 8. Cain desired to predicate a claim to this lake to be used for reservoir pur- poses, but the Assistant Attorney-General stated in his decision that it wouid be & violation of the statutes, as the park was for the benefit of the people of the United States, and should be preserved in its nat- ural condition. s —_————— OF INTEREST TO THE COA4NT, Patents and Pensions Issued and New Postmasters Appointed. ‘WASHINGTON, D.

THE RED-HANDED TURKS Massacring Christians and Pi- laging Their Homes in the Town of Uskup. Foreign Diplomats S:nd a Second Note to the Porle Regarding th» Awfu Carnage. BELGRADE, Stevia, Sept. 1.—An up- rising has occurred among the Moslems of the town of Uskup, Eurovean Turkey, and the Christians are being massacred and their homes pillaged by the mob. CONSTANTINOPLE, TUuRKEYy Sept. 1.— The foreign diplomats have sent a secund note to the Porte calling attention to the conclusive ovidence obtained that the Moslem mob which massacred the Arme- nians was organized with the connivance | of certain officials. It is known, also, that hundreds of ruffians were brought from the Asiatic side of the Bosporus to take part in the work of murder and rapine, and were sent back to their homes after the bloody work had been finished. The number of persons killed in Sun- day’s rioting at Hasskein is estimated at 200. The owners of the houses looted are now returning. Over 1000 ‘persons were massacred in the Psamatra district. Three hundred Armenians have been dragged out of honses and murdered. Tue city is perfectly quiet to-day. The shops are open and business generally is resumed. The number of persons killed in Sun- day’s riot at Hasskein is estimated at 200. Over 1000 persons were massacred in the Paamatra district, 300 Armenians having been drageed out of their housesand mur- dered by Kahn alone, Baron de Calice, the Austrian Embassa- dor, has had several int-rviews with the Sultan, who repeats his assurance that ample measures have been taken to insure uiet. q\VASHINGTON. D. C., Sept. 1.—The cruiser Cincinnaii has been ordered to Turkey. This does not affect the cruise of the Bancroft, that vessel being destined exclusively for duty as guaraship to tie American _legation” at Constantinople, while the Cincinnati and other vesse!s of the squadron are to remain in Turkish waters outside the Dardanelles unless crecumstances arise to call for re-enforce- ments and a display of naval force. It is explained that the orders to the Cincinnati have been in contemplation for some tiine, and there is no particular significance in their publication at the present juncture. It is also said that it is the intention of the department to bring the Marblebead home assoon as she can be spared from the Mediterranean, as tue time of a great many men on the station has expired, and it is boped to gather them all on the Marblehead for the home- ward cruise. So it is argued no real in- crease in the force in Turkish waters is designed unless affairs appear to war- rant it. = Conseorated a Special Archbishop. ROME, Irary, Sept. .—Rev. Sebastian Martinelli, who was recently appointed to succeed Cardinal Satolli as Papal delegate to the Roman Catholic church in the United States, was consecrated a special Archbishop yesterday - in the presence of foreign tliplomats accredited to the Vati- can.

A HOST OF STRANGERS Martial Music and Marching of Posts Are Suggestive of a Home-Coming. NIGHT IS TURNED INTO DAY. Pilgrimage to Fort Snelling in Honor of Minnesota’s Survivors—Contest for Command:r-in-Chief. ST. PAUL, Mix~., Sept. L.—Thereis'a surplus of American patriotism in St. Paul to-night. The Grand Army of the Republic is in town 30,000 strong, accord- ing to the conservative estimates sent by State departments to Natioval head- quarters, and that number is expected to march in the grand parade to-morrow. St. Paulis congested with a host of strangers. Fifty thousand is the average estimate of the number of visitors from all parts of the Union. The bright array of day decorations on every street in the business district was enhanced to-night by brilliant electric illuminations., The flag for which the vet- erans fought is omnipresent. Martial music from many bands and the marching of Grand Army posts would give the city the appearance of a home- coming from the war were it not for the absence of those weapons with which the boys in blue once fought. There are four openly talked of candi- dates for commander-in-chief. They are Comrade Charles A. Ballou of Providence, R.I.; Rear-Admiral Richard W. Merade, | U. S.
