2 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 5, 1896 —_— e e et st Bt s a few remarks, to which Li responded through his interpreter in a written speech. He said: Since the establishment of our treaty rela- tions there have always been evidences of good iriendship between our two countries, but all these evidences, I dare say, have now been eclipsed by the cordiality and warmth dis- played by the American Government and citi- zens in welcoming and receiving my special mission. Though 1 regret my time does not allow me to make as long & sojourn in this country es I wish in order to appreciate more fully the accompiishment and progress of the United States of Americaas & nation, I cannot help during my brief visit here to be struck and impressed by the liberty and freedom en- joved by the people; by the welfare and pros- perity in their industrial and commercial pur- suits; by the characteristics of their classical, historical, philosophical and poetical litera- ture; by the manner of application of the scientific discoveries and inventions for pro-' moting the happiness of mankind and by the display of their artistic taste in the architec- ture of the public buildings, sculpture and paintings of historicel figures and facts which my old friend, J. W. Foster, has been kind snough to show me. These impressions I will carry home, not »nly as augmentations to my store of knowl- »dge of the points of Western modern civiliza- tion, but as the means of enlightening the millions I represent and inculcating the intro- duction of those very means and ends of civil- ization into China and amalgamating the old- est civilization of the far East with the most modern of the extreme West. Gentlemen, I propose the toast to the iriend of China, Hon. J. W. Foster. The banquet proper, which began at 6:50, closed ai 8 o’clock, but Li Hung Chang remained until 9:15, conversing with those present. His programme for to-morrow includes a visit to the money vaults of the Treasury and to the executive departments gener- ally and to the Waskingion monument. At 3 o'clock a trip to Mount Vernon is in store. He has ordered a magnificent floral piece to bejpiaced on Washington’s tomb.

Tolon, an American citizen and a promi nent merchant of Cardenas, was arrested here yesterday on board the steamer Sen- eca, as he was about to sail for New York.

Open-Air Mass for Their Success, in Which the King Participates. SAN SEBASTIAN, 8parx, Sept. 4—An open-air mass was celebrated on the prom- enade here yesterday in the presence of soldiers about to depart for Cuba to rein- force the Bpanish troops there. The mass was attended by the royal family, the King wearing the uniform of a cadet of the infantry. The Bishop of Vittoria preached to the troops, to whom he said that the Spanish flag surmounted by the cross could not be conquered. Speaking on bebalf of the King, the Bishop expressed his Majesty’s regret that he was unable to lead his gallant soldiers to victory. Later the vpapal benediction was bestowed upon the soldiers, who kneeled to receive the bless- ing of his Holiness. BRACING L R CARLIST MOVEMENTS. Members Withdraw From Parliament and the Masses Become Ihreatening. MADRID, SparN, Sept. 4.—The Carlist members of the Senate and Chamber of Deputies have withdrawn from Parlia- ment as a mark of their disapproval of the passage of the unpopular railway subven. tion bill. The action of the Senators and Deputies has caused great anxiety among the Ministers and imembers of the royal family. The massesof the Carlists threaten to withdraw to the hills, Senor Senz, 2 member of the Chamber of Deputies, said to-day that the direction of the Carlist party would soon pass into the nands of military leaders, who have cffected a perfect orgenization and are ready to take advantage of the first favora- ble occasion that presents itself. eil e OKLAHOMA DIVORCES VOID, 4 Decision That Wil Fill the Country With Bigamists, GUTHRIE, O. T., Sept 4.—The local So- preme Court last evening handed down an opinion which makes a prominent and wealthy citizen and a well-known Cincin- nati lady bigamists, and will by its inter- pretation of the divorce law create con- sternation among the thousands from all varts of the United States who have se- cured Oklahoma divorces. In May, 1895, after a hard-fought trial, Charles F. Beack, a well-known writer of lepal textbooks, with officesin New York, Chicago and Indianapoiis, obtained a di- vorce from his wife, Annie M. Beach, on grounds of cruelty and incompatibility. Mrs. Beach atonce appealed the case to the Bupreme Court, the transcript being ;il‘:edman complete and voluminous ever ed, -~ The court yesterday reversed the lower court, annulling the divorce and dismiss- ing the case. The ground for reversal in error was that Beach was nevera resi- dent in good faith of the Territory or the county in which the divorce was grant- ed. The same holding by the court will annul three-fourths of the divorces ever granted here. Beach. who is a leading member of the Manhattan Club and receives $20,000 a year royalty from his numerous law text- bouks, has since married Mrs. Day, a charming widow of Cincinnati, Ohio, and the two are now traveling in Europe. AL 4 CO-WORKEER WITH MORSE. James D. Reid Comes to Attond the Telegraphers’ Convention. NEW YORK, N. Y., Sept, 4.—James D, Reid, United States Consul at Danfermline, Scotland, was a passenger on board the American liner St. Paul, which entered ort this afternoon. His arrival was ailed by the entire telegraphic fraternity, more so by the old-timers, of whose so- ciety he is a member. He crossed the ocean to attend the annual meeting of that society, to_be held in Pittsburg on September 20. Mr. Reid is the patriarch of telegrapny, having been a co-worker with Professor Morse, The United States ensign was raised and dipped from the tower at Bandy Hook in honor of Mr. Reid, and the ‘words ““Glad to see you'’ were signaled as a greeting from all his !fimnkd‘a astke St. P-nf passed in at Sandy 00] MR, BRYAN BREAKS HIS OWN RECORD Passes a Whole Day With- out Making a Single Speech. CONFERS WITH JONES. Arranged an Itinerary for Trips Through the Southern and Eastern States. NOW VERY GRACIOUS, INDEED. Actually Consents to Appear Before a Crowd and Bow His Acknowl- edgements. CHICAGO, ILn., Sept. 4.—William J. Bryan spent the day in conferences, last- ing from the hour of arrival until nearly 6 o'clock this evening. There were pres- ent at these conferences Senator Jones of Arkansas, Hon. E. Wall of Wisconsin, Hon. B. J. Campau of Michigan, Hon. Dan McConville of Ohio, National Silver Chairman I. N. Steyens, National Silver Organizer George J. Keeney, Governor W. J. Stone of Missouri and Secretary C. A. Walsh. At the close of the day it was stated that beyond arranging an itinerary for Mr. Bryan’s Southern and Eastern trips noth- ing had been done except to discuss the situation in a general way. The confer- ences were held in a room on the fourth floor of the Auditorium Annex, from which Mr. Bryan descended to the parior floor and held an informal reception. Many gentlemen ana quite a number of ladies had awaited his coming for hours and they greeted him warmly, assuring him of their hearty support and predict- ing a successful issue to his campaign. Mr. Bryan arrived at Chicago at 9:30 o’clock this morning. He was met at the depot by Governor Stone and escorted to the hotel. Chairmun Jones was unable to meet Mr. Bryan st the train, owing to the arrival at the same hour of Mrs, Jones at another depot. An early consultation was had with Chairman Jones, Governor Stone, Hon. Thomas Gaban of Illinois and National Committeeman Shanklin of Indiana and other leading Democrats. ‘While this conference was in progress quite a crowd gathered outside the hotel, many of the members of which had fol- lowed Mr. Bryan from the depot. A com- mittee from this gathering waited upon Mr. Bryan and requested that he appear and bow to the assemblage, with which request he good-naturediy replied and was greeted with loud cheers, During the afternoon some time was spent in con- ferring with Chairman Jones regarding Mr. Srvan’s letier of acceptance of his nomination by the Silver party, to be read at the Lincoln notification meeting Tuesday. To-morrow morning Mr. Bryan goes to Milwankee, where he will make two speeches. Sunday will be spent with friends at Beloit, Wis, from which place he will return to Chicago to be present at the Sharpshooters’ Park meeting on Mon- day (Labor day), at which everything in- dicates there will be an immense attend- ance. Leaving here at 5:50 p. M. Monday Mr. Bryan will arrive in Lincoln the fol- lowing morning. The programme ar- ranged this evening for the Bouthern and Eastern tour is as follows: St. Louis, September 12; Salem, I[Il. (Mr. Biryan’s old home), Sunday, the 13th; Henderson, morning of the 14th; evening at Louls- ville; Lexington, Ky., 15th; Ashville, N. C., 16th; Richmond, Va., 18th; Washing- ton, 19th; Baltimore, 20th, and New York City, 28th or 20th, from which city he will make a tour through New Jersey, Dela- ware and the New England States. Mrs. Bryan was called upon by a num- ber of ladies during the day. Mrs. Hol- lendeck of Arkansas presented her with a beautiful bouquet, upon the ribbons with which it was tied appearing the coats of arms of Arkansas and Nebraska. Mrs, Bryan left for Lincoln at 5:50 o’clock in or- der to reach home for the opening of school on Monday. DEMOCRAIS OF NEBRASKA. They Fill Blanks in the Ticket Left by Populists. OMAHA, NEsr., Sept. 4.—The Demo- cratic State Convention met to-day inthis city, indorsed the nominees of the Popu- list Btate Convention held recently at Hastings, and filled in the blanks left va- cant for that purpose. These were two in number, viz: Attorney-General and Uni- versity Regent. The convention was called to order at 10 A. ., and Attorney Ed P. Smith of Omaha was selected as temporary chair- man, and later on the temporary organiza- tion was made permanent. Mr. Smith on taking the chair made an enthusiastic ad- dress in favor of free silver. The Presidential electors are: N. O. Alberts, Clay County; 8. L. Kostrize, Sa- line; M. F. Harrington, Holt; J. N, Camp- bell, Nance; Fred Metz, Douglass; 0. W. Palm, Lancaster; F.J. Hale, Madison; X. Piasceki, Howard. The State ticket is as follows: Silas Hol- comb, Governor; John E. Harris, Lieu- tenant-Governor; W. F. Porter, Secretary of State; John F. Cornell, Auditor; J. N. Meserve, Treasurer; W. R. Jackson, Su- perintendent; J. V. Wolf, Commissioner of Public Lands; William Neville (long term) and John 8. Kirkpatrick (short term), Judges of Supreme Court; J. C. Smish, Attorney-General; Thomas 8. Raw- lings, Regent. THOSE BSILVER ONTRIBUTJIONS. Stevens Ewplaing, but Says Mine- Owners Ave Mot Kich. CHICAGO, Iri, Sept. 4—Democratic National headguarters was an unusually lively place to-day, on account of the pres- ence under the same roof of the Demo- cratic Presidential candidate. Aliafier- noon the bhallways and rooms were thronged by enthusiastic Bryanites, many of whom are prominent In varty councils, Among_these were Senator Pettigrew of South Dakota, ex-United States Senator Doolittle of Wisconsin, Hon. J. G. Shank- lin, National Committeeman from Indi- ana; L N. Stevens, chairman National Silver party, and A, H. Plumb, son of the late Senator Plumb of Kansas. Scnator Teller did not arrive to meet Mr., Bryan, as was expected a few days ago, but will, it is now announced, be here Tuesday, Btevens was asked this evening about the reports that large sums of money were being contributed to the silver cause by the silver mine owners inm Colorado. Mr. Stevens appeared much amused. He said the leaders of the movement for free silver wre doing in Colorado just what they are doing in the other States—solicit- ing po‘rullr subscriptions from 10 cents upward. Many responses are being made to these appeals, but so far 'as he knew no con- tribution of over $100 had yet been made by any mine-owner in Colorado or else- where. No greater efforts were being made in Colorado than in any other State. 8o faras the National Committee furnish- ing assistance to the States, Stevens de- clared the States are expected to help the National Committee. He also asserted thas there were no wesitby silver mine owners. The wealthy mine-owners are those who own gold producers. By way of disparagement of the Repub- licans rejoicing over the election in the State of Vermont the Democratic organ- ization has given out a statement calling attention to the fact that the Vermont platform was a straight-out gold docu- ment—*one that weula mightily aid the mugwump plutocrat gathering at Indian- apolis.” The conclusion reached is that ‘“‘there is excellent reason, perhaps, to argue a gold gloom from the result in Vermont, but when the issues presenred are considered it is cifficult to see how free silver, 16 to 1, was interested at all in the result.” —_— SENDING FPUFFS, NOT NEWS. Protest of the Omaha Bee Against the Reports of Bryan’s Bceretary. OMAHA, NEBR., Sept. 4.—The Evering Bee, published by the Bee Publishing Com- pany, of which Edward Rosewater, a di- rector of the Chicago Associated Press, is president, says editorialiy: As 8 member of the Associated Press the Bee was the first to remonsirate against the per- version of the service in the interest of Bryan or any other candidate tor ‘office. The func- tion of the Associated Pressis to transmit the news, not to circulate campaign literature and personal puffs, When the Associated Press ap- pointed Mr. 'yan’s private secretary as its agent to travel with Bryan and report his movements and his utterances, it was to have been expected thal everything sent out about the Popocratic candidate would be distorted and magnified in his interest. Judged by the reports which Mr. Bryan’s private secretary sent out through the Associated Press from this section, the tremendous ovations and triumphal receptions accorded Bryan in the East are to be taken with large graius of salt. All the way across Iowa the imaginative Pprivate secreiary peopled every station with thousands and every water-tank ana railroad crossing with eager hundreds giving vent to their exuberant enthusiasm. Such reports were doubtless highly gratifying to the silver organs west of the Rockies, but they were an imposition upon Associated Press members as well as ugon the public. Itis for this reason that the Bee is exercising its privilege to keep its reports of Bryan’s_wanderings and vapor- ings within reasonable limit. Aspreviously stated, the buik of the Bryan speeches are mere repetitions of the same old song. When- ever Bryan gives expression o anything origi- nal or new or meets with any incident that is of moment or has any bearing upon the cam- paign, readers of thie Bee will have all the particulars, L S BEYAN QUOTES PROVERBS. “Surely in Pain the Net Is Spread in the Sight of any Bird.” CHICAGO, ILL, Sept. 4.—A representa- tive of the United Associated Presses asked Mr. Bryan to-night to say some- thing about the nomination of Senator Palmer and Governor Buckner by the sound-money Democrats, but Mr. Bryan refused to be interviewed. He remarked incidentally, however, that Solomon had expressed the situation in the seventeenth verse, first chapter of Proverbs, which reads: “‘Surely in vain the net is spread in the sight of any bird.” e Montana’s Fusion Ticket. BUTTE, Moxr., Sept. 4—The Demo- cratié State Convention, in session at Mis- souid, and the Populist convention this afternoon completed the nomination of fusion Presidential and State tickets. By the terms of the agreement the Democrats were given the Congressman, and bya vote of 278 to 132 the convention decided to make no nomination, which is a prac- tical indorsement of Congressman Charles 8. Hartman, the Republican who bolted the St. Louis convention with Senator Teller. The Populists were given the Gov- ernor, and nominsted Hon. Robert B. Smith of Helena. They were also given a Watson elector, with the agreement that if Sewall has a majority in the Electoral College the elector shall yote for him, oth- erwise the two Democrats will vote for Watson. The remainder of a full,State ticket was equally divided; between the two pariies. — WILLIAM VISITS SILESI Emperor and Empress Partici- pate in Unveiling the Statue of William L His Majesty’s Equanimity Disturbed by the Antics.of a Restless Horse. BRESLAU, GERMANY, Sept. 4.—The Em- peror with the general staff and a guard of cuirassiers arrived here at 1:30 p. M. to- day. His Majesty was accompanied by the Empress, who was attired in a steel blue robe and wore the ribbon of the Order of the Black Eagle. Both of their Majes- ties, attended by their full suits, were welcomed by the civil and military authorities. The weather was clear, warm and sunny. After listening to the speech of welcome by President Ziedewitz the Emperor unveiled the statue of Emperor Wiliiam I on the Zwingerplaiz. His Majesty’s mein was very austere, and his equanimity was still more aisturbed by the antics of the resiless horse which he rode. After the unveiling ceremonies, however, the Emperor got into a Lvely conversation with President Zidewitz upon the merits of the monument. Prince Hohenlobe accompanied the Em- peror and looked worn and ill. A recep- tion at the City Hall followed the unveil- ing ceremonies and the Emperor and Em- press drank from a loving-cup in the hall of the Princes, where their Majesties re- ceived the formal welcome of the city fathers. Thespeech of weicome was made by the Burgomaster and the Emperor re- plied to it, saying in the course of his remarks: “Silesia was won by the sword of my great ancestor and fostered by his suc- cessors, I received Silesia as one of the richest and finest provinces in my king- dom. 1 recognize fully the historical value of this province, which is conse- crated by n and far memories, and I will never relax my efforts to preserve the precious jewel as it was inherited and continue to have the sgme care for its wel- fare. Tand the Empress wish the cities of Silesia all possible prosperity.” —_— - Cholera Breaks Out Again in Cairo. NEW YORK, N. Y., Sept. 4.—A special cable to the Herald from Cairo says: After a long freedom from cholera in Caio fiity-four deaths occurred during the last three days out of sixty-one cases. The sanitary authorities are greatly alarmed at this outbreak, as_the cases are widely scattered along the Kbaleag canal, traversing the city. All the Briiish medi- cal officers atta to the sanitary de- partment have been summoned here. TROUBLED BY TOM WATSON'S DEMAND Recognition of the Populist Vice - Presidential Can- didate Postponed. IS NOT TO BE IGNORED. But the Georgian Will Be Stood Off Until After the Maine Election. HAS STRENGTH IN THE WEST, Eut Senator Allen May Control the Fusion Electoral Vote in Sewall’s Interest. WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept. 4.—Senator Marion Butler of North Carolina, chair- man of the Populist executive committee, is expected back here to-morrow. Senator Gorman is also expected to return to- morrow. The errand on which Mr. But- ler left Washington has been studiously kept secret at Populist headquarters, but it is now announced that he has been in Georgia counseling with Tom Watson, whose demand for recognition as Vice- Presidential candidate has become so im- portunate that Populists have found it impossible to ignore him any longer. Senators Butler and Gorman will confer shortly after their return to Washington on some method of” quieting the obstrep- erous Watson, although there is not the least intention on the partof the Demo- crats to makeany concession to the Popu- list Vice-Presidential candidate. There is a perfect understanding between Populist Senators Butler and Allen and the Demo- cratic leaders. The only hitch to com- plete the abandonment of Mr. Watson isa fear that the coming election in Maine this month will show a most disastrous defeat for Mr. Sewall. The Populists under the leadership of Mr. Bateman are, if possible, fighting Mr. Sewall and the Democratic State ticket even more bitterly than are the Republicans, and the outlook is that the Democratic vote will be dis- tressingly small. Such an event will, of course, be claimed as a victory for Wat- son, and until the Maine election is over it would be impracticable to cast Mr. Wat- son aside. Mr. Gorman’s appointment as a member of the executive committee which has just been announced is taken as an indication that Senator Jones has about determined to 2o ahead and run the Presidential cam- paign in accordance with his own ideas, without further reference to the wishes or personal likes of Mr. and Mrs. Bryan. Senator Gorman . will take an active in- terest in the campaign now. At the Gorman-Butler conference the situation in regard to arranging the de- tails of fusion of Populist and Democratic electors will be carefully gone over. Fusion has been accomplished in nearly all of the Western States and in all of the middle Western States, where the battle is to be. It looks, however, like there will not be a union of Populists and Demo- crats in a single Southern State. Whether this will affect the election is conjectural, although Republicans think it will give them several Southern States. There will be no fusion in Alabama, un- less it is between gold Democrats and Republicans, as is now hinted. Arkansas Populists and Democrats have not got together, and seem to be pulling further apart. Complete fusion has been agreed upon in California, and Populists get three electors, who will vote for Watson. There are one Populist, one silver man and two Democrais on the ticket in Colo- rado, and all of them will vote for Sewall, Connecticut and Delaware are not troubled with the Populist party. There has been no fusion in Florida and the Populists will put out a ticket of their own. Georgia Populists will “tote tneir own skillet” without Democratic aid. It is thought there will be equitable di- vision in Idaho, but Watson won’t get anything. In lllinois Populists get two electors who will vote for Watson. Indi- ana has three Populists on their combine ticket, and they are Watsonites. Iowa bas three Populists on the combine ticket, and they are thought to be for Sewall All electors in Kansas are Democrats, but are pledged to vote for the Vice-Presi- dential candidate who has the largest number of votes. No combination bas been made in Ken- tucky, but fusion will probably be accom- plished. In Louisiana there will be no fusion. Maine Democrats and Populists don’t mix well and have out separate tickets. Maryland and Massachusetts have too few Populists for the Democrats to fuse with, The Populists get three electors on the Michigan ticket, and they are Watson men, There are four Populists on the Minnesota ticket who are for Watson. Missouri has not fused and may not do 80. The electors of Montans are equally divided. The ticket in Nebraska is di- vided equally. Nevada, New Hampshire and New Jersey have no Populists to ask for fusion. New York Populists are asking for two places on the ticket and may get them. North Carolina has done nothing for fu- sion. All North Dakota electors are Popu- lists and for Watson. The Onio ticket has four Populists on it who would vote for Watson. Allthe combine electors in Ore- gon are Populists and are for Watson. The Pennsylvania ticket may have one or two Populists on it. The South Dakota tickei is equally divided and two are for ‘Watson. South Carolina has no Populists. Nothe ing has been done in Tennessee and there wiil be no fusion in Texas unless Gold Democrats and Republicans get together. A combination has been made in Utah, but the Populists get little. Nothing has been done in Virginia or Vermont, and nothing is likely (o be done. In Wash- ington the ticket is equally divided, two of the electors being for Watson. West Virginia will probably arrange a fusion, and Watson will get two votes. There are three Populists on the ticket in Wisconsin who wouid vote for Watson. Wyoming will make a combine and divide. g ‘While this list shows that in many ‘Western States Populist electors are al- leged Watson men, it is well known that Senator Allen is absolute dictator of all ‘Western Populists, and none of these Western Watson electors would hesitate a second to abandon Watson and vote for | The officers have been working on Sewall in the electoral college if Senator Allen neeaed their votes. Meanwhile Watson will be kept in good humor until the Maine election shows how he is to be bandied thereafter. — KATE FIELD'S WILL FOUND. Appoints Exscutors and Provides for the Cremation of Her Body and Inter- ment of the Ashes. NEW YORK, N. Y., Sept. 4.—A Times special from Washington says: The will of Kate Field, who died recently in l:!a- waii, was found yesterday under peculiar circumstances. Miss Field was in toe babit of stopping at the Shoreham while in the city, and on one of her visits some time ago she lef¢ a tin box. Mr. Devine, the proprietor, took charge of the box, in- tending to return it to her when she came again. After her death be waited for the ap- pointment of an executor so he could }nrn over the box. Yesterday George R_lddla came to the city to quaiify as admim-_tu- tor until a will shouid be found. Heis a cousin of Miss Field and came as next of kin. By chance he also put up at the Sboreham, and there he fell into conver- sation with Mr. Devine, and the latter mentioned the fact that be had the box. Riddle took it and sent for the Regis- trar of Wills. In their presence a !0ck- smith broke onen the box and. at the bot- tom was found the will. 1t appoints as executors H. H. Kohlsaat of Chicago, her employer at the time of her death, and T. Sanford Beatty, secretary to Senator Brice. As anticipated, it provides for the cremation of her body and directs that the ashes be interred at Mount Auburn, Mass. Beatty was appointed her literary execu- tor. The disposal of her estate could not be learned. WAS DAVIES LYNCHED? Peculiar Story Concerning the Wrecker of an Iowa Bank. After Escape From Jail, It Is Said H: Was Shet by Enreged Farmers. DES MOINES, Iowa, Sept. 4—Nearly a year ago, C. O. Davies, cashier and mana- ger of the Citizens’ Kxchange Bank of East Pern, Madison County, wrecked the bank and disappeared with §$14,000 of its cash. He left absolutely nothing in the Iittle institution, which was a private con- cern. Davieshad come from the East with good letters and a small amount of money and started the bank.. He was located in New York after several months, where he was running another bank in the same way. He was found to be an old hand at the business. He was brought back to Madison County and locked in jail. After two months he and another prisoner named Streeter escaped, digging out of the jail. Posses of the infuriated farmers of Madi- son County went in search and caught Streeter, but Davies was never found, un- less the sensational story which has just come out is true. It is said be was Iynched by the posse that caught Streeter. The story is told by a man named Ed Jones, who is now in Omsaha. He wasin the Madison County Jail at the time Davies and Streeter escaped. He tells the story that after Streeter was brought back some vigilantes called on him and Jones overheard their conversation. From it he learned that Streeter and Davies had been together when the posse came upon them in the weods, Tue farmers shot Davies fall of lead and then buried him. Streeter was spared because he swore never to tell what he knew of Davies’ end. This story has been known to Davies’ relatives and the attorneys in the case for two weeks, but has just become rubhc, t and are unable to develop much. There is great interest in the story from the fact that an attempt was made t> lynch Davies when he was firnfm in jail, and his Jife was not considered worth a cent if the peopleof the county ever got hands on him. Streeter is now in the penitentiaty and denies the story. e MILLERS’ TRUST SUSPENDS. Caused by the Perfidy of Wealthy Mem- bers in Fiolating Agreements. MILWAUKEE, Wis., Sept. 4 —The big millers’ trust, known as the Spring Wheat Miller's Combine of the Northwest, has closed up shop and is out of business. It went out of existence as noiselessly as it came into the world. Itdied at Minneap- olis on Tuesday. The combine, which was formed solely for the purpose of regnlat- ing the prices of flour, failed of accom- plishing its object because of the perfidy of the large millers who cut prices indis- criminately whenever they felt like it, being willing to pay the fine imposed by the combine for selling under the scale every time there was a good-sized order in sight. All the millers for the Northwest, with one exception, were in the combine. The trust was organized about nine months ago. All ot the millers agreed that the sharp competition which was then exist- ing was ruinous to the business, and the association was formed to do away with it. The combination was in existence only & short time when there were loud com- vlaints that some of the millers were se- cretly violating the agreement. These in- cluded some of the largest of the Minne- apolis miils. They acknowledged the corn and paid their fines, and then went to work and cut the prices again. —_—— FIENDISH TRAMP LYNCHED. Twice Stabbed o Little Deaf Girl He Haa Failed to Subdue, RHINELAND, Mo., Sept. 4.—Thomas Larkin, a tramp who gave nis residence as New York, was taken from the custody of the Constable of this township last night and hanged to atree. His offense was a fiendish one. Wednesday night as Alla Gammon, a13- year-old deaf girl, was on her way home she was attacked by Larkin. She resisted him with all ber might, and finding that he could not subdue her he stabbed her ‘twice and then fled. She stazgered home and told her story. = Larkin was captured while waiting for a freight train and taken to the Rhineland A hundred farmers and factory soon surrounded the hotel. The Constable urged them to let the law take its course and they disbanded, only to nurse their wrath. 3 Tast night they came again. Admittance was refused the crowd when it reached the hotel by the officers guarding the prisoner. The mob then broke the door down and seized Larkin, He begged and prayed for them to spare him, but they took him to a tree near town and swung him up, where they left him for the Coroner to hold an inquest to-day. e Tripnle Ewecution at Paris, Texas.

Seed of True Democracy Ex- pected to Be Preductive of Fruit. WILL ENTER THE CAMPAIGN. In Sections Where the Cauce Is Hope- less an Eiectcral Ticket Will Not B: Namzd. INDIANAPOLIS, Ixp., Sept. 4.—Chair- man Bynum of the National Convention of the Sound Money party announced this morning that the headquarters would be located 1n Chicago, with & branch in New York. This decision was reached at a conference of the leaders in the movement held in the quarters of the National com- mittee in the Grand Hotel this afternoon. Bynum will name the executive committee in a few days, and active work will-be done. Literature will be circulated and speakers put in the field. Both candidates will be called upon to make some speeches, but no oratorical tour will be attempted. Itis conceded by the active men in the movement that the main fight is to be made in the States of Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Michigan and Wisconsin, and Chicago was decided to bethe best location from which to direct the campaign. Mr. Bynum, when seen by a representa- tive of the United Associated Presses, was in a happy frame of mind. He said: *The success of the sound-money con- vention has far, far exceeded the most sanguine expectations of its promoters. I consider its achievement the marvel of American political history. The organi- zation perfected is nc temporary affair. ‘We have planted the seed of trne Democ- racy, and glorious will be the productive fruit. The banner of Democracy has been at last properly inscribed, and we will gallantly march behind it to ultimate success. It is my opinion that the ticket nominated yesterdgy, representing as it does the blue and the gray, signifying union forever, could not have been im- vroved. The character of the two men is pbeyond reproach. They represent - true soldiery and honest public servants.” In reply to a question as to how many of the States represented in the conven- tion will place electoral tickets in the field, Mr. Bynum said: “I think nearly every State will do so. Of course in a few sec- tions where the cause is absolutely hope- less, no electoral ticket will be named. We will make our fignt where it will do the most good. Although it is too early to give any figures of our strengrn, still T believe 1,000,000 votes is a conservative estimate of what Palmer and Buckner will receive in November."” At a meeting of the State Central Com- mittee of the National Democratic party to-day, a decision was reached to the effect that it would be “inexpedient” to puta sound money State ticket in the field. Chairman Bynum this afternoon ap- pointed four members of the new National Executive Committee of the National Democratic party. They are: . W. B, Haldeman of Lounisville, Ky.; L. C. Krau- thoff of Kansas City, Mo.; ¥. W. M. Cutcheon of Minnesota, and John C. Bul- litt of Philadelphia. GREETED BY MNEIGHBORS. Senator Palmer Receives an Ovation TUpon Returning Home, SPRINGFIELD, liL, Sept. 4.—An in- formal but hearty reception was given Senator John M. Palmer on his return home from Indianapolis, where he was nominated for the Presidency as the can- didate of the National Democratic party. Altbough the reception was under the auspices of the local sound-money Demo- cratic club it was non-partisan in its na- | ture. Senator and Mrs. Palmer were met at llliopolis by a committee of citizens of all parties headed by Coionel N. B. Wig- #ins, ex-Mayor Chartes E. Hay, State Sen- ator Shumway and C. 8. Brown. As the nominee stepped ifrom the train he was showered with roses thrown by the ladies on the platform, and the compli- ment was gracefully acknowledged by him. The party were taken in two car- riages, each drawn by four magnificent biack horses, and, followed by about 1000 citizens marching behind a band, pro- ceeded to Genmeral Palmer’s residence, where BSenator Shumway in a few appro- “priate words welcomed the nominee in the name of his neighbors and congratulated bhim upon his nomination. Mr. Palmer responded briefly, saying tbat he felt that this demonstration in his honor was a urely non-partisan expression of ueigh- rly regard, and not even hisnomination at Indianapolis was so pleasing to him. —_— Congressional Nominations.
