THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 4, 1896. CRUISERS THAT CANNDT CRUSE Unable to Carry Sufficient Coal to Cross the Atlantic. ALTERATIONS IN ORDER The Bancroft and Cincinnati Un- able to Steam to Con- stantinople. DUTY AT THE DARDANELLES. Naval Authorities Mcde to Feel the Need of Foreign Fuel Supply Stations. WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept. 3.—The Navy Department has issued orders that the alterations to be made in the pracuice cruiser, to tit her for her new duties inside the Dardanelles, shall be vigoronsly pushed. Accordingly two gangsof men will work on her day and night. The State Department people do not an- ticipate that serious objection to the ap- proach of the Bancroft will be made by the Porte; indeed, there is mo ground short of absolute arbitrary indiscretion | taining to construction work at Fort which would induce tbe Sultan to protest against the diminutive warship. The Cincinnati of course will not accompany the Bancroft into the prohibited waters, unless something should arise wkich would set asiae all the so-called obliga- tions of the Paris treaty. It isquite an event in the history of the navy, this determination to have the Ban- croft get into Constantinople’s harbor. The Nipsic once passed the Dardanelles, end some years later the Quinnebaug. That ship, in fact, made three trips within a short period to Constantinople, remaining on one occasion about fifteen days. This was while General Lew Wal- lace was Minister there, ana he procured the necessary permission for the Ameri- can ship to enter. The visit was the oc- casion of long conferences between Ad- miral Nicholson and Minister Wallace upon Turkish affairs. There is much to be done to both the Bancroft and the Cincinnati before either ship can sail. The Bancroft has a coal capacity of but 90 tons, despite the sup- posed bunker capacity of 120 tons. It will be necessary to materially increase this capacity or the ship will not be able to steam across the ocean at even & low rate of speed. Itis planned now to convert two cadet storerooms into coal-bunkers, and this, the counstructors, clinging to the original fiction of 120 tons, say will give the ship a bunker capacity of about 200 tons. It is expected that when all the work is accomplished the ship will not be able to carry more than 150 tons of coal, which, engineers say, will not be sufficlent to take her across tne Atlantic at eight knots’ speed. Itis likely that she will be obliged to stop at the Azores for fuelen route to Turkey. It appears that the Cincinnati, with her 400-ton coal cabacity, is little better off than the Bancroit, and it will be neces- sary for that ship also to stop somewhere en route for coal. This is a subject which is being brought to the attention of the naval authorities with much force just at this time. Here are two cruisers sup- posed to be competent for trans-Atlantic voyaging snddenly called upon for service in the Mediterranean, and neither is able to reach the other side withour undergo- ing large expense in securing increased bunker capacity, and even then the pos- sivility of reaching their destination is problematical. This condition suggests once more the need of adequate sources of foreign fuel supply, if ships cannot be built for cruising purposes capable of car- rying sufficient fuel. e NEGROES AT ANNAPOLIS, Zittle Likelihood That the Colored Ap- plicants Will Be Admatted. WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept. 3.—The examinations of the mewly appointed Naval Academy cadets began to-day. Eighty-eight candidates reported, but neither of the two negro lads, whose ap- pointment has created such a sensation, is present. One of them, named Wheeler, was appointed by a Chicago Congressman. The California iad’s name 1s Jackson, but the Navy Department absolutely refuses to name the representative who appointed either of them. Admiral Ramsay was especially sur- prised at the report of the appointments. He anticipated trouble among the cadets | should the colored candidates meet all re- quirements and be admitted, but says that the white bogs will be made to suffer if they show the least signs of rebelling against the colored youths, or “attempt in | any way to treat them difterently from their white classmates. The colored boys, | he states, are entitled under the law to equal treatment with the white, and will receive it from the academy staff. He, | however, regrets that they should have | been appointed in the first instance. * Captain Cooper is known to be an excel- lent disciplinarian and will not counte- nance auy conduct tending to infringe on the regulations or laws governing the ad- ministration of the institution. Any white cadet who may auttempt to haze, “run” or otherwise annoy the colored youths will unquestionably suffer serious conse- quences. Admiral Ramsay this evening, in a dis- cussion of the phase presented by the ap- pointment of the two boys, stated that several years ago a colored boy entered Annapolis from Baltimore, but that his identity was not discovered for several months, and this by an accident. The boy, however, failed to meet requirements and was dismissed. Not many years ago a cadet was graduated at the Annapolis academy, who was generally beheved to be colored, although he strenuously de- nied the allegation. The young man com- pleted the four years’ course, stood high in his class and then resigned. An officer in the medical department makas a very significant comment. *‘These young men are not yet cadets at the academy,’”’ he says. *‘They haye not yet passed their physical examinations, and have yet to undergo one ordeal, which is a source of constant defeat to the ambition of colored boys eager toenter the academy. 1t is the eye, which in the negro is seldom found to be up to the requirements de- manded by the academy. “It does not readily master shade ud‘ fessor L. F. Prudhomme, naval officer structor of academy for the past decade, has been ordered to the retired list on Beptember tone of color, nor does it equal the white eye for sighting objects at a distance. I shall feel surprised if both boysare not found deficient in eyesignt. That will be an easy solution of the entire difficulty.” It is impossible not to understand what the officer meant. S NAFVAL ACADEMY CHANGES. A Number of the Instructors Detached From the Institution. WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept. 3.—Pro- whom every will remember as the in- Janguages at the naval 21. Lieutenant-Commander F. M. Wise will be assigned as head of the depariment of languages. Oiher changes in the academy board include Lieutenant-Com- mander Harry Knox of the department of mechanics and Lieutenant W. P. Potter, head of the department of English studies. Chaplain Frank Thompson has beeu de- tached from the receiving ship Indepen- dence, ordered home on waiting orders, and Lieutenant W. 8. Hughes ordered to take charge of the San Francisco branch hydrographic office on October 1. Ensign L. B. Desteigner has been detached from the office of naval intelligence and ovdered to Michizan. —_———— COAST ARMY CHANGES. Officers That May or May Not Appre- ciate New Scenes. WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept. 8.—First Lieutenant Samuel W. Dunning, BSix- teenth Infantry, is datailed as professor of military science and tactics at the Agri- cultural College at Logan, Utab, to take effect September 20, 1896. He will relieve First Lieutenant Henry D. Btyer, Thir- teenth Infantry. A leave of absence for two months, to take effect September 20, 1896, is granted Lieutenant Styer. First-Lieutenant Reuben B. Turner, Sixth Infantry, will proceed from Fort Wingate, N. M., to Williams, Ariz., and Albuguerque, N. M., on official business of the Quartermaster’s Department, per- in- gate; Commissary Sergeant Frank Her- ron (appointed September 1, 1896, from Sergeant Battery L, Fifth _Artillery), now at the Presidio at San Francisco, Cal., will be sent to Fort Huac. uca, Ariz. The following transfers in the Fifth Artillery are ordered to take effect Octo- ber 1: First Lieutenant Harvey C. Car- baugh, from Battery C to Light Battery D; First Lieutenant Charles G. Treat, from Light Battery D to Battery C; First Lieu- tenant Charles S. Riche, Corps of En- gineers, will be relieved by Captain George McU. Denby, Corps of Engineers, and will proceed 10 Fort St. Philip, La., and relieve Major James B. Quinn, Corps of En- gineers, of the fortification works now in his charge. GHAND HRMY VETERMS They Will Be Entertained Next Year in Buffalo, New York. Report of the Pension Committee at the Present Encampment at St. Paul. ST. PAUL, Mix~., Seot. 3.— Buffalo willentertain the Grand Army of the Re- public next year. It did not take the Na- tional encampment long to settle that question, which in other years has pro- voked a lively contest. Denver, the only other city which presented a request, withdrew before a ballot was taken. Admiral Meade’s name will not be pre- sented to the encampment to-morrow. He realized to-day that he bad no chance of election. New York is now solid for Linehan, but Pennsylvania is divided, and it looks to-night as though the com- mand of the G. A. R. until next Septem- ber will be placed in the hands of Major Clarkson of Omaha. At the afternoon session of the encamp- ment the repyrt of the pension committee was presented and referred to a commit- tee to report on its recommendations. The report referred to the act passed in 1894, providing that pensions should not be withheld until after a judicial hearing by the Commissioner of Pensions, and added: “The administration of the Pension Bureau has continued as though the provision referred to was but waste paper, and the feeling of uncertainty and doubt has been but slightly, if to any ex- tent, allayed. It is in vain that wise, just and patriotic laws be passed if they are to be administered with an evil eye and an unequal hand.” The committee reported that it had urged the speedy passage by the Fifty- fourth Congress of the House bill, which was drawn ‘or the purpose, so faras pos- sible, of reetricting the bostile administra- tion of the Pension Bureau and of com- pelling a fair and libera! construction and enforcement of the laws of Congress on the subject of pensions. The House passed the bill, but the Senate failed to act on it, and on that account the unsatisfactory condition still obtained in the administra- tion of the bureau. It was recommended that the encampment speak clearly and distinctly, so that its meaning cannot be misunderstood by any one, urging upon the Senate the necessity for the prompt passage of the bill in all its essential fea- tures as passed by the House, The committee made no recommenda- tion as to the two sections 1n the bill. One provides that soldiers who lacked honor- able dischdrge from pay or service should be entitled to a pension if they bad been honorably discharged from a later term of service. The other section extends a pension to those who were forced into Con- federate service at the opening of the war by the severe conscription law, but joined the Union army as quickly as they couid, being Union men at heart. Itis designed to bar the soldier of fortune who fought on botn sides; also such Confederates as were released from Johnsons Island toward the close of the war, on-condition that they would joln the Union army. Suth men the Grand Army will not admit toits ranks, and it does not wantto see them pensioned. The special committee which was ap- pointed last year on the extension of the army membership and privileges to the Sons of Veterans reported in faver of al- lowing them to visit G. A. R. posts and accord them membership after a proba- tion of six months without the right to vote, and give them the latter power when it was seen the Grand Army membership was seriously diminishing. A minority report was presented modi- fying these privileges. This committes considered the service pension proposition, which allows a monthly pension to all qualified veterans at the rate of one cent for every day of nglulxil service, omitting time spent in hos- pitals. The second session of the Ladies of the G. A. R. convention was held to-day. There was a contest for president, Mrs. Catherine E. Hurst being elected. Mrs. A. D. Anderson of Minneapolis was se- lected senior vice-president. and Mrs. Barab C. Mason of Nebraska junior vice- president. ——— Almost a Holocaust. MINNEAPOLIS, Mixx., Sept. 3.—This morning an electric-car bound for the State Fair grounds was run into by a Minneapolis and St. Louis train at Bt Anthony Park. The car was thrown frora the track and smashed. Nobody was killed but six were injured. The motor- man is blamed. 3 | ORATOR BRYAN'S TONGUE NOT IDLE Tafk of the Candidate on the Theme of Cheap Dollars. SEES NO OTHER ISSUE. Says the Objectionable Features in the Chicago Platform Are Popular. CONTINUES TO DRAW CROWDS. As a Public Curiosity the Daily Per- formances of the Nebraskan Are Well Attended. TOLEDO, Onio, Sept. 3.—Notwithstand- ing he was greatly fatigued after yester- day’s arduous trip and two speeches last night, Bryan was around early this morn- ing. After breaktast he received a dele- zation of local Democrats, who had called to take formal leave of the candidate. At the station a small crowd gathered and heartily cheerad the nominee. The train left at 7:45 o’clock over the Lake Shore for Adrian and other Michigan points. HUDSON, MicH., Sept. 3.—Bryan made bis first bow to a Michigan audience at Blissfield, where 500 enthusiastic people had gathered. Adrian, with its quota of 1500 and a brass band, séconded Bliss- field’s welcome in a hearty manner, and received a few remarks from the candidate. SOUTH BEND, Ixp., Sept. 3.—Mr. Bryan made a few remarks at Hudson and Hills- dale. At Jonesville there was a throng of nearly 2000 people, a large proportion be- ing women. The usual wild scramble in an endeavor to shake the candidate’s hand was witnessed. The same was re- peated at Quincy and Coldwater, Mich. At Sturgis, where Mr. Bryan was met by the Elkhart committee with a special train, he found another great crowd and made an address which was warmly cheered. Among other points he repeated his query: If the lgold standard is a good thing why does the Kepublican party pledge ifself to get rid of it as soon as other nations will come to our help? [Applause.] If the gold standard is & bad thing then why keep that bad thing for a single moment? The American people are entitled to good things. They are not de- serving_of being punished with bad things that other nations may want to impose upon them. We will not consult the nations of the earth when we desire to set up a Government for our ourselyes. Neither should we consult them when we want to establish a financial policy of our own. [Applause.] The Republican party has done what no party heretofore has done. It has declared that we must endure a financial system that is satisfactory to European na- tions until those European nations come to us and permit us to have what we ourselves want. [Appiause.] I am uot surprised that people are feeling interested in this campaign. am not surprised that there is an earnestness that has not often been manifested before. Mr. Bryan arrived at Elkhari shortly after noon and wasgiven a hearty greeting at the railway station by 2000 or more peo- ple. A procession in which appeared many local Democrats, members of silver clubs, escorted Mr. snd Mrs. Bryan to a hotel, where dinner wus served. Governor Claude Matthews met Mr. Bryan here and presided at the open-air meeting held late in the day. The mem- vers of the local reception committee with a number of ladies deputed to receive Mrs, Bryan marched in line from the hotel to what is known as “The Isiand,” Elkhart's public park. There fully 8000 people were assembled around a temporary stand profusely decor- ated. Jonas O. Hoover, a local attorney, introduced Governor Matthews, who was given three ringing cheers, and the Gov- ernor, in turn, witnout wasting words, presented the Democratic candidate as the next President. Mr. Bryan was enthusi- astically cheered. Mr. Bryan spoke of the pleasure it gave him to enter the great State of Indiana and be welcomed by its distinguished execu- tive. He continued: We are entering upon & campai, which stirs men's hearts—a campaign which is draw- ing out the interests of the people. I have not, in my journey from Nebraska to the ses, found a single lukewarm person. I have foun some against us, but everybody was for or against us—no idlers anywhere. [Avplanse.] This shows the American people are realizing their responsibility and preparing to exercise with intelligence and patriotism the right of suffrage when election day arrives. 1 find here & little slip Lmnted upon an appropriate color —yellow. [Laughter.] It says: “I, the under- signed, a blank iu the employ of blank”—that is a very appropriete blank, because the man who issued this considered the employe a blank. [Laughter.] “I, a blank Democrat in the employ of the Blank Railroad Com- any.” It oughtto be blank:ty biank, blank, lank. [Great laughter.] ‘‘Hereby make ap. hllcullon for membership in the Railway en’s Sound-money Club.” Why don’t they say gold club? Why do they attempt to con- ceal the word “gold” under the euphonious name of sound money? [A voice_They are ashamed of it.] Yes, I believe that is the reason, “Do hereby pledge myself to use my vote and influence.” Thete is one good thing in this sitp, If they attempt to tell you how to vote, point to this and tell them it is my vote and not yours: “‘And do hereby pledge mysell to use my vote and influence for the defeet of free coinage at the forthcoming National election.” Pay at- tention to this: “‘Believing that such free coinage of silver would be injurious to my personal interests as an earner ot wages as weil as disastrous to the United States as & Nation.” If the wage-earner ought to sign # statement declaring the free coinaze of sitver injurious to his personal interests I want to ask you why the advocates of the gold standard who are engeged in other kinds of business do not mnk: some statement in regarc to their busi- ness They want it understood the laboring man is influenced by personal interests, but these. great leaders of the gold standard are simply interested in the public weal. There is a great difference between those who advocate bimet- allism and those who advocate a goid stan- the dominations of foreign nationsbetter than they love their flag. [Great applausa.} ‘We do not like to be called anarchists, but I would rather be what our oppouents call an anarchist than to confess tuat 70,000,000 of pecple are not abie o attend to 'their own usiness. Some of them are now leaving the Democratic party, they say for the country’s good, but I believe that they have left the party for the party’s good. [Greatapplause.] The very partsof the Chicago platiorm whiech ‘have been most hateful to the menwho have used the Democratic party for private gain and their country for publie plunder are dear- est tothe masses of the American people. [Great applause.] We expected some of them 10go. We knew that some of our generals would go. Butwe knew that battles are won by the fighting of private soldiers more than by the fighting of generals, We can’t have their moral support, but we’ll %et along with- out their immoral incubus also. [Laughter.] We won't have their approval but it is a very high-priced approval anyhow to buy in these hard timee under e gold standard. [Great laughter and applause.] SOUTH BEND, Ixp., Sept. 3.—The presence in South Bend of William Jen- nings Brysn was made the occasion of a Democratic rally to-nightin the “Govern- ment Lot.” Like the open-air meetings at Columbus and Toledo this week, the affair was remarkable in the vast concourse of people that gath- ered to hear the mnominee speak. With the thousands of excursionists who came from many points in Indiana and Michigan to augment the presence of in- terior townspeople the crowd numbered about 25,000. Mr.and Mrs. Bryan were escorted to the scene of the meeting by a number cf local and visiting silver clubs, many having bands with them. Senator Blackburn and B. J. Shiveley, Democratic canaidate for Governor, wereon the stand. George Feldman, cbairman of the Dem- ocratic County Committee, opened the meeting and was followed by Mr. Shive- ley, who presented Mr. Bryan. There was almost a panic just after Mr. Bryan began, owing to the attempts of those who came late to get into position near enough to hear. The pressure from the outside started the crowd swaying back and forth and as this spread over the vast mass of humanity the throng became a series of ment. Mr. Bryan was obliged to pause and Mr. Shively, realizing the serious aspect of affairs, began addressing the | people in_calm, clear tones, begging for order. His words brought the audience 1o its senses and Mr. Bryan went on. When the cheering that greeted him had ceased he spoke as follows: Our opponents are in the habit of declaring the money question to be considered by the masses of tlie people and our form of Govern- ment is based upon the theory that the Ameri- can people not only have the patriotism, but the intelligence necessary to sit in judgment upon any question which can arise. When I find an American who says that the money question is too complicated for you I generally find & man who says that it is just complicated enough for him. [Laughter. I want to argue this question on the theory that you are able to decide for yourselves how the question affects you. At this point the surging in the crowd began to look serious, and Mr. Bryan, after appealing for order, sat down. Mr. Shiveley also begged the audience to re- main quiet. Finally Mr. Bryan was enabled to continue, and said: 1 want to talk about some questions which are asked, that you may betier answer them in your conversation with your neighbors. I suppose there are several different classes of eople here. There may be those who believe f: « gold standard because they are benefited by it. if there are such I am not very hopeful of bringing them to bimetallism. 1 have learned that, as a ru'e, people are in- clined to judge others by themselves; they take it for granteéd that the thing 1s eood for others, and when a man makes up his mind that a gold standard is good for him he is gen- erally willing to take 1t ior granted that it is good for everybody else. say if there are those who are benefited oy & goid standard I am not hopeful of converting them. If, how- ever, there are those who advocated the gold standard under the mistaken idea that it would be a good thing for them, I hope I may be able to lead them o & better undersianding o1 the subject. If there are bimetailists here who have been troubled by questions put to them which they could not readily answer, I desire to suggest answers to some of those questions in order to aid you in your work of sPrendxng this gospel. If there are those who believe in bimetallism, 1 desire to deepen their conviction. Now the tirst quéstion to_be considered is, whut is an honest dol!ar? We hear people talking about honest money. monéy? Did you ever hear an advocate of the go!d standard give the definition of an honest dollar? 1 will tell you the definition which you generally hear. It is this: An honest dollar is a dollar which when melted loses none of its value. Thatis what they teli you is an honest dollar. I want 0 say to you, my friends, that the man who gives to you that definition of sn honest dollar has yet to learn the first princi- ples of monetary science. [Applause.] An nonest doilar is a dollar which retains the same general purchasing power, yesterday, to-day and forever. [Great applause.l That would be an honest doliar. Purchasing power is the test of honesty. A doliar which rises in !!urchuln power is just as dishonest as a dol- ar which fells in purchasing power. gl SEWALL LOYAL TO BRYAN, But He Has No Intention of Withdraw- ing From the Ticket. CHICAGO, ILL., Sept. 3.—Several days sgo Chairman Jones of the Democratic Committee wrote Arthur Sewall stating that many Democrats throughout the country, and especially throughout the ‘West, were objecting to fusion with the Populists on the electoral tickets for the reason that they do not wish to be disloyal to Mr. Sewall. In redply to Senator Jones Mr. Sewall forwarded the following copy of a letter written to Mr. Bryan: BaTH, Me., July 25, 1896, Hon. W. J. Bryan, Lincoln, Nebr.—MY DEAR Mr. BRYAN: In view of the action of the St. Louis convention to-day I cannot refrain from giving you my thought on the situation. My advices are that you have been nominated for President and Mr. Watson for Vice-President. 1 also learn through press dispatches that you are somewhat undecided whether you ought 10 accept or decline. Now, I desire io say to you, with the utmost frankness and good fcel- ing, that you must not allow any personal con- lldrl’l“on for me to influence you in your action. 1 desire that you will do just what you be- lieve is best for the success of the heaa of the ticket. The principles we are fighting for are 0 paramount to any personal considerations that the latter should not have any weight or infiuence whatever in your ac- tion. Icannot for a moment allow myself to bea factor inany action on your part that would in the slightest degree hazard an elec- toral yote for you. With kind regurds to Mrs. Bryan, and be- lieve me your sincere friend, & ARTHUR SEWALL. Chairman Jones, referring to the above letter, said: .“The talk about the retire- ment of our_candidate for Vice-President is too absurd to be seriously considered. Mr. Sewall’s Jetter, written just after the nomination of Mr. Bryan by the St. Louis convention, is a splendid illustration of his loyalty to his associate on the Demo- cratic National ticket. He sees no embar- assment whatever in Mr. Bryan’s nomina- tion for President by another party and upon another ticket, but believes it to be -an important step toward certain victory for the same cause. 1t is a complete dard, Ask a farmer why he wants bimetallism and he says because it would be good for him, He is not worrying about somebody else. He has troubles enough of hisown. It is the same with a laboring man, oz & business man, or professional man. Ask a financier why he favors the gold standard. Will he tell you be- cause it is good for him? You never heard one of them say it. [Laughter.] They want some- thing thal will help somebody else. I am afraid some of our opponents add the crime of hypocrisy to the sin of avarice. There are principles which underlie the money question, principles which you must understand before you can enter into a discussion of the money uestion, and the first great principle is that the value of a dollar depends on the number of dollars. You have to learn that scarce money means dear money and that you can change the pur- chasing power of a dollar whenever you ean change tne number of dollars. Our opponents dispute this, some of them, but no writer on Pmmc.l economy will tell you that volume is mmaierial. Now, my friends, I assert that when the Gov- ernment prohibits the making of a dollar by an individual then the Government assumes the solenn duty of ereating enongh dollars for the people to do business with. JAnpnnu. Yet the very people who invoked the law o 1873 to strike down a part of the ple’s mouney now deny the right of the peopie to in- voke the law to replenish the eurrency of the Nation. [Cheers.] Iknow that whenever we express an opipion on the money question we subject our- selves to the contempt of the New York finan- ciers. There is a conspiracy among thi money-chsngers to enslave the producers o wealth. Itisan international conspiracy en- tered into by men who love the dollars snd answer to the efforts of the gold Democrats to creste the impression that Mr. Sewall will retire under any circumstances, 10 s that the Democratic party and the N. tional organization are just as loyal to Mr. Sewail as he himself1s to Mr. Bryan and the great cause of the common people.” st Carrying Out the Fusion Plan. LINCOLN, Ngsr., Sept. 3.—Democrats of the Fourth Congressional district held their convention here to-day and with al- most complete unanimity indorsed the candidacy of Judge W. L. Stark of Aurora, already nominated by the Populists. This is part of the plan of fusion which wil be followed in ail the Congressional districts of the State. Temperance Union Convention. CHICAGO, I, Sept. 3.—The Union Signal to-day contains the official call for the twenty-third annual convention of the Woman’s Christian Temperance Union, to be held in St. Louis, November 13, 1896. The call states that the proceedings of this convention will be similar to those of the previous conventions. Lady Henry Somerset, vice-president of the W, G. 1.

GOOD MONEY IS NEEDED Commerce Demands Its Use Until International Bimetal- lism Is Secured. PROTECTION ALSO CHAMPIONED Two Meetings at Each of Which Four Thousand People Assemble in a Tent. DES MOINES, Towa, Sept. 3.—The Re- publican campaign in Central Iowa was opened here this afternoon and evening. Senator Allison spoke in the afternoon and Congressman Robert Cousins in the evening. Both meetings were held in a tent seating 4000 people, and it was filled on each occasion. Major E. H. Conger, candidate for elector at large and ex-Min- ister to Brazil, presided at the Allison meeting. Senator Allison in his address touched upon the tariff and other issues, but de- voted most of his time to the silver ques- tion. He traced the history of monetary legisiation 1a this country. He guoted from statistics to sustain his contention that there was no diminution in the amount of metallic money in use in the world in the period from 1873 to 1895, and that therefore the fall in prices in that period could not be attributed to such a diminution. He stated that it would be impossible for the United States to restoré the value of silver by independent action and that the extensive wealth and commerce of this country demanded the use of the best money until by international action silver could be made as good as gold. The suc- cess of the free-coinage movement, he said, would result in a fluctuating and debased standard of money, carrying in its pathway distress and disaster to every interest and to every location. The adoption of the Republican policy of maintaining the standard of our money, of providing sufficient revenues for the Government and of protection to Ameri- can industries, would restore confidence and prosperity. Congressman Cousins gave con siderable time to the tariff question in his address. e T e MANY CALLERS AT CANTON. Large Delegations ill Journey to Greet Major Neckinley. CANTON, Osnro, Sept. 3.—The next fort~ night promises to be lively in Canton. Messages announcing the coming of seve- ral delegations were received this evening. On_the 8th of Sentember the Ohio Edi- torial Association will meet here. The editors will be addressed by Charles Emory Smith and they will call on Major McKinleyin a body. September 11 the Republican League clubs of Pennsylinania wiS come here from the convention in Erie.- On the same day a delegation ofs Vermont Republicans will arrive in Can- ton to call on Major McKinley. On the 12th the McKinley Commercial Club of Chicago is scheduled for a visit here. The same day the M¢Kinley and Hobart Ciub of McKeesport, Pa., will pay their respects to Major McKinley. On the 14th a delegation comprising about 1000 farmers from Southwestern Pennsylvania is expected, and on the afternoon of the 15th the Grand Army osts of Canton will give a reception in onor of Major McKinley. The Republi- cans of Butler and Moyer counties, Penn- svivania, are coming on the 19th, also the Building and Trades Council of Coium- bus. Three or four other delegations are trying to arrange dates for a visit to Can- ton within the next ten days, and the rail- ways are offering better rates than usual. Major McKinley has had a large num- ber of callers to-day, among them being ex-Governor Hoard of Wisconsin, who re- ported the situation in his State as most encouraging. —ea WITH WORDS OF CHEER. Numerous Callers at the Chicago Kepub- lican Headguarters. CHICAGO, ILL.. Sept. 3.—The numerous callers at Kepublican National headquar- ters to-day all brought words of cheer from different points. Cheering reports continue 1o come in to Commercial Tray- elers’ headquarters, though many “‘knights of the grip’ write very candidly of the existence of free silver sentiment in por- tions of Michigan and Iowa, which they have visited, and call for literature to send there. The Railway Age reports the continued formation of numerous enthusiastic sound money clubs among the railroad workers in every part of the country. Hon. E. L. Lampson, ex-Speaker of the Ohio House of Representatives, addressed the meeting of the Commercial Travelers’ McKinley Club to-day. T G Vermont’s Big Fictory.
