THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 25, 1896. YALE MEN DROWN BRYAN'S VOICE College Students Display, Greater Lung Power Than Willie. VOLLEYS OF “RAH! RAH!” “Gold, Gold, Gold” a Refrain| That Subiues the Silver S :ntiment. YOUTHS WHO HOWL LUSTILY. But the Boy Orator Finally Makes a Speech Between the Inter- ruptions. NEW HAVEN, Coxx., Sept. 24.—Candi- date Bryan will probably long remember his reception to-day by the students of Yale College. The Democratic standard bearer addressed a big open-air meeting, which nearly ended in confusion. As it was, Mr, Bryan gave up attempting to speak and retired i disgust. The movements of the students were presumably preconcerted. They were dis- tributed through the crowd and seemed to sing and yell at given signals. When Mr. Bryan began his speech, there was a cheer und chorus from the students of “Rah, rah, rah, Yale.”” He tried to go on, but the yells made him stop again. A song, with the reirain “Gold, gold, gold,” kept bis words from being heard. Finally the candidste sat down, and Mr. Sargent, the Democratic candidate for Governor, Alexander Troup, chairman of the State Central Committee, ani Dr. Fuller, the Democratic candidate for Con- gress in this district, made appeals for order. Mr. Bryan had -been seated ten minutes, and at 2:50 he resumed his remarks. But the derisive yells broke forth again, and fifteen minutes later the candidate brought his remarks to a close. Mr. Bryan spoke from a stand on the south side of Center Church and when he entered on ‘“the green” between 12,000 and 15,000 persons were gathered there. Mr. Bennett, who is chairman of the town committee, presented Mr. Bryan, and as the candidate rose the cheering was interruvted by hisses and yeils from the Yale men. The appeals from Mr. Troup and the others had a tem porary effect only. Allthrough his remarks the yells continued and Mr. Bryan cut his speech short. Altogether he did not ,speak more than twenty minutes. As soon as he concluded A. 8. Crandall of Norwich, candidate for Lieutenant-Gov- ernor, stepped forward and sharply criti- cized the Yale men. He proposed three cheers for Mr. Bryan and they were given, but mingled with hisses from the Yale contingent. Ex or Sargent then declared the meeting adjourned and Mr. Bryan was taken to the New Haven House in his car- riage. He looked very much fatigued ana refused to shaks hands as he left the stage. This is Mr. Bryan’s interrupted speec : Ladies and gentlemen, I am glad there are students here becau-e I'want to say a word to students.

If it can ruin them with more rapidity than the gold stendard has ruined them, then, my friends, it will be bad indeed, because the gold standard has increased the number of failures among business men and every step that has been taken has been followed by disaster.

Why is it that these men want to throw upon’ the wage-earner whatever odium there may be in using his vote to protect his per- sonal interest? I believe the wage-earner and the farmer and the business man and the pro- fessional man—all of these—will be benefited by a volume of money sufficient to do business with. 1f you make mon®y scarce you make money dear. If you make money dear you drive down the value of everything; when you have {alling prices you have hard times. And who prospers by hard times? There are but few, | and these few are not willing to admit that they get lng benefit from hard times. No party ever declared in its platform that it was in favor of hard times, and yet the party that declares for a gold standard in sub- stance declares for & continuance of hard times. [Here the band accompanying the First | Regimentof the National Guard of Connecti- | eut, which had been playing on the east side of the common, marched westward and very much nearer to the stand where Mr. Bryan was speaking, so that it was impossible to hear him more than a few feet away from the front of the platform. The students, however, were not making a8 much disturbance as they had been formerly.] It is hard enough to talk when all the conditions are favorable, and I must agk you to excuse me from talking any further in the presence of the noises against which we have had to combat to-day. HARTFORD, Co~x., Sept. 24.—Mr. Bryan ended his Connecticut tour to-night by making twospeeches in Hartford. Both meetings were held in the open air, the first in Capitol Park and the other on Main street, in front of the City Hotel. ‘When Mr. Bryan reached Hartford he found a great throng at the station and received many cheers. His carriage was followed to the Heubleu Hotel by a crowd of men and boys, many of tnem bearing flaming candles of red Greek light. AtS8 o’clock he went to Capito! Park, being ac- companied by another Greek fire escort and the members of the local reception committee in carriages. The gathering in the park was extremely large. Around the speaking-stand, erecled a hundred feet from the Capitol building, people were massed and numbered in the neighborhood of 12,000, perhaps more. Mr. Bryan stood upon a table on the stand in oraer that the crowd might see him better. The formality of an introduction was dispensed ‘with ‘and the candidate started to talk as soon as the cheering which marked his appearance was over. Th» Capitol Park meeting concluded Mr. Bryan was taken fo the City Hotel, where he found another big assemblage, but smaller, however, than the other. He spoke from the portico over the main en- trance to the hotel. During the speech from the portico of the City Hotel Mr. Bryan was hissed by a segment of his audience. . SRl OPINION UF THE BANKERS, Do Some False Figuring in Regard to Bryan. CHICAGO, 1L, Sept. 24.—Campaign Committeeman J. D. Johnson has received at Democratic National headquarters from & country banker in Illinois a copy of a letter sent out by N. W. Harris & Co., the investment and bond brokerage firm of Chicago and Boston, to its correspondents in that State. The letter gives the result of a canvass in Illinois. In thefirst place, Democrats the firm sent inquiries to 4000 correspon” dents, and it received abou’ 1200 answers. The letter givins this result states: “There were 117 bank cachiers who re- ported that, in their opinion, from present indications, the Democratic vote in their county next November wou!d be less than it was in 1894, and tnat the free-silver ten- dencies were on the decrease. There were thirty-six bank cashiers who reported that in their opinion :here would be an increase in the Democratic vote in November as compared with the Demo- cratic vote in 1894, and thirty of the bank officials were of the opinion there would be no change. In Minnesota the firm sent out about 4000 inquiries to its corre- spondents and received about 400 replies, which were of the same tenor as those re- ceived from Illinois. Mr. Johnson remarked that the Minne- sota correspondents evidently forgot the Populist party in their estimates, as they say nothing of the 80,000 Populist votes cast in 1894 and nothing about the Repab- lican silver defection led by John A. Lind and Congressman Towne. He added: “These correspondents are in every instance men engaged in the bank- ing or investment business—a class which is hostile to Mr. Bryan. Unreliable as the information is, it shows that even from a banker’s standpoint the silver movement is liely to carry the entire West.”” Senator Teller, who is in Ohio this week, will arrive in Chicago Sunday to fill speak- ing engagements that are being made for him in Illinois and adjoiniag States. The reports to headquarters are that Kentucky is full of Republicans who &re coming into the Bryan camp. RAILEOAD TO BE SOLD. Chicago and Nort hern Pacific Will Go to the Highest Bidder. CHICAGO, Iur., Sept. 24.—Dispatches from Milwaukee say that the troubles be- tween the Northern Pacific, the Wisconsin Central and the Chicago and Northern Pa- cific have been amicably settled. The last named road will be soid at auction in this city, and will probably be purchased by the reorganization committee. Henry W. Bishop will sell the property. The road must bring $10,000,000. The purchaser, in addition, assumes two mortgages, one to the city of Chicago for $650,000 and the other to E. A. Abbott and Jonn A, Stewart for $394,000, together with minor obligations. The sale will take place from the steps of the Cook County Courthouse at such & time as Bishop may appoint. St SR Failure of Shoe Manufecturers.

He Is B:ing Hunted by Bloodhounds and Will Probab y Be I,yn'chetl if Ciught. NEW ORLEANS, La., Sept. 24,—One of the most heinous murders in the history of this State was committed by a negro boy named John Johnson in a farmhouse four miles south of Independence atan early hour yesterday. Joe Cotton, his wife, her brother and two sisters were killed, the first by a pistol shot and the other four with an ax. When an officer called at the house he found Cotton stretched dead on the floor. His head was blackened with powder, showing that a pistol had been held near the face when the fatal shot was fired. The weapon was an old-fashioned cap and ball, single-shot pistol and it had been loaded with slugs. ¥ Martin Miller, Mrs. Cotton’s brother, was lying on his back across the bed, his head almost severed from his body, evi- dently by a blow from an ax. In the bed to the right of the door leading to the front room, strugglingin the last agony of death, lay Miss Agnes Miiler, a sister-in- law, with a gash five inches long over her left eye, leaving the brain exposed. She was conscious, but could not speak a word. Just across the room, in another bed, was Miss Lizzie Miller, her sister, with her skull smashed in and a gash four inches long in her bead, made with an ax. She will die. Inanother corner wasthe muti- lated body of Mrs. Joe Cotton, her feet under a table and her head near a chair, with which she is supposed to Lave tried to protect herself against her assaitant. The fiend who committed this quintuple murder is a negro boy, who has been in the employ of Cotton since April 3. He was allowed to sleep 1n the same honse. The motive is a mystery, as no attempt at rob-bery had been made. The only member of the family who es- caped was little Maud Miller, 14 years old. She darted from the houseand gave the alarm. She says she saw Johnson begin the butchery and strike her mother with the ax. The murderer is still at large and is being tracked with bloodhounds by a mob. He will probably be lynched if caught. Their Fatal Quarral. CHICAGO, Ivv., Sept. 24,—Harry Con- way of Clinton, Iowa, was killed this afternoon by Grace Clark, who shot him | first and then killed herself. Conway was a brakeman on the Northwestern Rail- road, and came to Chicago last July with the Clark woman. They had numerous quarrels. The disagreement which caused the shootin- was over a letter from a woman of Fall City, Nebr., written to Conway. —_— WRECKED BY A WATERSPOUL Roared Like a Trainm and Destroyed Boats and Fields. PATCHOGUE, L. L, Sept. 24.—A fierce whirlwind and waterspout swept /through the south bay for several miles Tuesday ni-ht. It seemed to descend from the heavens until it reached the surface of the bay, where it started whirling eastward with the roar of a hundred freight trains. Fire Island. It swept east at a fearful rate. When opposite Bay Port it struck the yacit of Harry C. Miller, turning her bottom-side ug in aninstant. Then the great, roaring body of water veered in its course and went whirling away in a differ- ent direction. 4 Only for this sudden chance the spout would have wrecked hundreds of boats that were lying at anchor all the way from Bayville to East Patchogue. When the spout reached a point off Patchogue it started toward the main shore. S8and was hurled in the air, and where there were only three feet of water there are now six or seven. The waterspout finally started north and ran ashore op- vosite East Patchogue. After it struck the earth there was a whirlwind formed instantly. This overturned bathing- houses, tore up trees and finally played havoc in a big cornfild. —— Death of General Memia. Z DALLAS, Tex., Sept. 24—A private telegram to members of his family in Dal- | las, received this afternoon, announces the death to-day in the Uity of Mexico of General Mexia, chairman of the Ways and Means Committee of the House of Repre- sentatives of the Mexican Government. General Mexia was regarded as the leading statesman and financier of the Mexican Government, a close friend of President Diaz and a progressive man of modern ideas. He was stricken with flnlyuig about a month ago. The town of Mexia, Texas, was named for him. He owned 70,000 acres of land in this State. He was 71 years old. —_——— Checks for Rebate Claims.

Earth Cracked for Half a Mile—Hono- lulu Bishop Thinks Monarchy Is Yet Alive. HONOLULU, Hawam, Sept. 17. — A severe earthquake shock was experienced 1n the center of the city a crack opened from the sea half a mile inland and re- mained an inch in width. Most of the bottles in a drugstore were broken. The houses all being of wood were uninjured. No.such shock has been felt since the Kau mud flow of 1868. The disturbance seemed to come from the northeast. The same shock in a light form awoke everybody in Honoluln that morning. At Kilauea the shock was much lighter than at Hilo. The fire fountains in the Ivory, Tynan, Haynes and Kearney, the first named arrested in Glasgow, the sec- ond in Boulogne, Frarce, and the last two in Rotterdam, left New York in August last by different steamers and traveled under false names. The men, be said, were sent to Europe by the Fenian organi- zation in New York, which provided them with funds, for the purpose of carrying out the following scheme: They were to proceed separately and by different routes to Antwerp, where they were to hire premises in_which to prepare chemicals for the manufacture of bombs and dynamite cartridges. This done, they were to find persons in London and Gias- gow to commit the actual crimes throngh the use o1 bombs which had been prepared in Antwerp. It had been arranged in New York before the four men started, Mr. Gill said, that outrages should be commit- ted in the United Kingdom, and the men expected that their work of Erepnring the | bombs would be completed by Septem- ber 15. Mr. Gill said that Ivory’s mission was to secure men to use the bombs which the others bad prepared in Antwerp. The hearing was adjourned until to-morrow. It is announced upon official authority that the Government has abandoned the idea of asking for the extradition of the alleged dynamiters, Kearney and Haines, who were recently arrested in Rotterdam.

The Anclican Bistop Willis, in the Dio- cesan Magazine, expresses his belief ‘‘that neither tranquiliity at home nor respect abroad nor commercial prosperity wifiebe restored until the monarchy is reinstated.” He thinks the monarchy is not ‘‘dead and rotten.” as alleged, but very much alive. The BisHop evidently Ehca- a high value on the recent Kaiulani boom. Referring to the Blshop's remark about commercial prosperity a prominent busi- ness man points to the fact that three times as many new stores have been erected in 1896 as in any previous year, and four times as many new dwellings. Nothing like the present growth of Hono- lulu has ever been witnessed. President Dole wiil leave to-morrow for a few weeks’ rustication on Hawaii. L L e IPORX 18 ARRAIGNED.
