" Paid a Glowing Tribute by the Major for Past and Pres- ent Loyaity. RAILROAD MEN ALSO IN THE RIGHT COLUMN. Ringing Words of Patriotism From the Lips of the Champ on of Pro- . tection and Prosperity. ‘CANTON, Ox1o, Sept 29.—Three of the five delegations scheduled to arrive here to-day ‘posiponed their coming and the two remaining “ones did not go ta Major McKinsey’s house onaccount of the rain, but.were addressed in the Tabernacle. A deiegation of 500 Union veterans from'the. State Soldiers' Home at Sandusky, with 100 citizens of that town, came av half-past 12 o’clock on a special train over the Bal- timore and Obio - Railroad. Sergeant Hopkins introduced the spokesman, L. W..Hull, who addressed Major McKinley at some length. Major McKinley's greet- .ing from ‘the old soldiers was ardent. After the applause had subsided he spoke as follows: My Comrades and Ladies and Gentlemen: I - wish-] might he eble 10 make fitting and suit- -able response to_ the gracious words of con- gratulation and good wiil which have been spoken in your behalf by Serzeant Hopkins and Mr. Hull, Itisindeed a kind and gener- ous #et of comradeship that brings, on this unplessant day, the members: of the Ohio Soldiers' ana Ssilors’ Home of Sandusky to thiscity t6 pey me a visit. My comrades, I fully and heartily- appreciate it. No body of nien who have visited me in the lastfew months, have given me more pleasure or touched me more deeply thaii my 0ld comrades of the Sandiisky Home. [Applause.] £ When you entered the service you were younger than you are now. Thiriy-five years ag6 most of you eniiste and thirty-one ‘years 220 most of you'were mustered out of the ser- vice. You were then young and fresh with the'red ‘wine.of early menhood mantling your cheeks. ¥ou are older now, but your-heart WArms to the country and the old flag just as it did in 1861. ° [Great appiause.] When you ‘ entered the service you entered not for the pittance that was raid,you, you entered not . for the glory or for personal applause, but you entered the service fronf tne purest and high- est motives of patriotism, that no harm should come to our country. [Appianse.] That was the motiFe of -the old soldier.” Think waat the great army of which you were a part was willing to @b T were willing to give health and strehgt hey were willing to die that the Armerican ynion migat be saved. [Applause.] S0 nigh to grandeur is our dust, S0 near 10 God {s man: When duty whispers. Lo, thou must, The youth replicd, I can. And 50 nearl¥ two millions of men, when duty called; no matier whas the exactions de- manded, werezeady to answer to tne call of _their conniry and defend.their country’s free fllinstitutions. . There are'now on the pension » -roll'of the Government more men “than were “Z: yenlisied in the War of the Revolution, the war of1812and the war with Mexigo. Within about 50,000 8% many. men &re on the pension roils of-thé United &ates to-day as wers in all the wars in “which tbis Government was en- gaged from the Revolution to the Civil War. I have always been in favor of pensioning the deserving and disabled soldiers of the Repub- lic and favoring their pensions, and I am now in favot of -having their pensions paid in money whose -value“does not rest upon mere fiat and which’ cannot be depreciatea by fire. [Gresat .applause.] I am opposed to cutting down pensions_im that way. Iwant the pen- sicners, who dre among the largest creditors | of she Government to-d, as I want all the * creditors of the Government, great or small, 10’ be paid in the best money of the world— doliars worth 100 cents every day and every- < where. [Applause.] Iam glad t6 have you here to-day. I am glad to have. this large “body .of veteran soldiers declaré, as your spokesman has.declared, that they are still in tavor di the country and the country’s honor. [Applause.] A color-bearer during the war, while in front of the euemy, in his aixiety o do something Wit two or three hundred meu, marched in front of.the line and toward the enemy’s works. When the general commanding irom the rear called out: *Bring those colors back to the line,” the sergeant answered promptiy, with & voice,of command that went back 1o the general quicker than & minie ball: “Bring the line up to the colors.” [Luughter and ap- ° pianse.] We are carrying the same old colors to-day that we carned thirty-five years ago. Bogs, bring the line up to the colors, [Great appiause.] o My, comrades, I thank you. I appreciate this call. Other delegations are coming. I beg that you convey to those dear oid com- rades who could 1ot come with you on this in- .clement day my best wishes and warméstr.. gards and my sincere pravers for their health and contentment; and I also beg that ycu con- -* vey to that dearold ¢« mmander General Force . my sincere respecis aua best wisbes; aund I “ hope that you wili take back with you pleas- ant memorles of your visit to Canton. [Grea:. appiause.] The second and last delegation of the day arrived an hour later. It was com- posed in the main of emyloyes of th Beltimore and Ohio Railroad in Northern <Ingiana, With the delezation were 200 farmers and about sixty ladies. In re * sponse 10 an address by Judge Penfield, Major McKinley said: 1am glad’ to welcome the farmers and the employes of the Bultimore and Ohio Railrcad Company and the citizens generally who have honoreds me with this cail this afternoon. {Applause.] The farmers of (his country must appreciate, and will apprectate, 1f they do not slready, that we cannot inerease their market or decrease their competition, either at hom or abroad, by destroying the credit of the country. [Applause and cries of “Right, - right”]. - Tuat we cannot cut down the competition which they have in India and Russia and the Argentine Republic or increase consumption &t home of their producis by cutting down the vuiue of the currency of the United States, - The only way the farmers can be benefited is through a larger consuming class. The mints wiil not furnigi the farmer with more con. sumers. He has the most profitable market for what he produces at home and not abroad, and what he wants to know is how to muke that markel the best. He cannot do it by ¢ os- ing the wills. [Cheers.] He caunotdo it by putting out the fires of our furnaces. [Re- newei Cheering.] He can ot do it by taking business away from the great railroad lines of the country. He can oniy improve the Ameri- can market by favoring a poilcy that will put I i times every man to work who lives heneath our flag [ereat applause], and keeping them at work at living wages [renewed applause]; not the wage scale of some other nation of the world, but the Americen scale—the best in the world [great applause); und you cannotimprove that market by desiroying the credit of the coun- try, for the credit of the country lies a: the foundation of ‘capital and prosperity. [Ap- planse.] The farmer can no more increase the value of his wheat by diminishing the value of the American dollar than he can increase the quantity of his hay by diminishing the size of the wagon on which he hauls it. [Tremendous cheering and cries of *“Good, good.”] The railroads of the country make business so they consume 50,000,000 tons of coal a year. Thstis what you engineers burn every twelve months. What does that do? [Cries of*It gives work.”] Yes, it gives you employment while you are burning it; it_gives the thou- sands of miners employment while they are dieging it. That is the kind of a policy we advocate. Let everybody help everybody else. [Great applause and cries ot “Hurrah for Mec- Kinley.”] Isee that the railroad train service has four distinct services—probably more— that of the engineers, firemen, the trainmen and the Order .of Railrosa Conductors, with other organizations suxiliary thereto among the switchmen and telegraphers. I am in- formed that each of these organizations has a department otinsurance, mutuel in its charac- ter and conducted and administered by men of tneir respective organizations. Am I right about this? [Cries of “Yes.”] The highest tribute to their business capa- city and honesty is found in the fact that not one doilar has been lost or squandered. The trainmen .have paid out nearly $3.500,000. The fireme * have paid out neariy$4,000,000. The conductors have paid out insurance to nearly $2,500,000. while the engineers, which I believe is the oldest organization, haye paid out neerly $6,000,000. The railroad men, too, are inyestors and stockholders in loan associa- tions and have savings in savings banks, or they will have. [Applause.] What a deep interest, therefore, the railroad men have in the rightful settlememt of the money ques- tion. Notonly are they interested in preserv- ing the integrity of their sayings for their old age or disqualification and their insurance to their families in case of accidentor death, but they ure interested in their present and future wages. 1don't believe that the railroad men of this country will ever consent to have their wages cutl in two or their insurance -money peid &t the rate of 53 cents on the.dollar. ‘[Cries of “No, no.”’] Nor will they be satisfied 10 receivé their wages in anything buta cur- rency which shall be worth a fuli 100 cents. While they are talking about the creditors of this country they are animadvarting against them: Who are the creditors of this country? They are the men who labor in_this country. [Tremendous cheering and cries of “That's right.”] The greatest creditors of this country to-day are the workingmen. Aside from what is due them upon investments and savings, their current wages make tiem the largest creditor -class in the United tates. The employers of this country owe their employes every thirty days. in good [eries of “Not now, though;” fol- owed by great laugnter], more than the bonded indebtgdness of the United Stal Nearly $500,000.000 is paid out annually to the ratlread .employes alone. Does the rail- road_employe propose to aid any party to ensct legis'ation which will cut liis payroil from 25,10 50 per cent, in the name of a cheap doilar? [Loud gries of “No, no.] I have seen it stated somewhere that of the 750,000 rail- road employes in (he-United States about 75 per . ceut are voters. 1 cannot be jmis- taken when I express the belief that these men will not cast-their votes in favor of n debased currency and the repudiation either of public or private obligations. I don’t belieye that the free coinage of the silver product of the United States, or the free coinage of the stiver product of the world with the fiat of the Government of the United States could make a thing worth only 53 ceuts worth 100 cents. [Great applause and cries of *No, No."] Such a proposition s contradicted by reason and experience, and opposed 10 com- mon’ sense and the plain principles of ola- fashioned honesty. Now, my fellow-countrymen, much as I would be giad to speak to you longer, I miust not. Other delegations are coming. I thank you for this call and for the assurances you have given me of your support to the principles, which, by the favor of a great political party, 1stand for at this moment. [Great sppicuse.] I am glad to know that the great State of Indians, the State of Harrison |great applause] and Morton [renewed appiause] wil: stand this vear as it bas stood in all the vears of the past, for the country and the country’s hounor, and for a policy that will give to the American people the largest prosperity in their homes, the greatest development of their resources and the highest credit of the Government. [Great. cheering.) The story that Major McKinley is to speak at Youngstown the night before election is without foundation. e oty UNION GENERALS AT LINCOLN. Veterans Receive a Great Oration in Bryan’s Supposed Stronghold. LINCOLN, -Nese., Sept. 20.—The com- ing of the Union generals who are making a tour of Western States in the interest of the Republican ticket was made the oc-| casion of probably the greatest political demonstration ever. held in Lincoin. Elaborate preparations had been made, and with perfect weather and vi<iting delegations from nearly every section of the State Republican enthusiasm ran rampant. The visiting veterans did not arrive until evening, but the exercises began at 3 o’clock in ‘the afternoon with a parade through the principal streets of the city to the State Capilol grounds, where ad- dresses were made by ex-Governor Larra- bee of Iowa, Charles P. Lincoln of Wash- ington an: E. S, Elliott of Chicago. An e:cort of cavalry and veterans met the generals at 5:30 o'clock, and the State Capitol was agair. utilized for an informal reception. “To-night the city was a blaze of light with marching everywhere and twenty bands playing martial music. The generals were distributel at three meeting places. Generals Sickels and Alger at the Lansing Theater, General Stewart of Pennsylvania and ex-Senator Manderson at the Funke Opera-house, and Generai Howard and Corporal Tanner at Republican beadquarters. Carriages were in waiting and as soon as one speaker had concinded he was token to the other hall. Overflow meetings were also held at the Courthouse and Bohan's Hall. The speeches were short but earnest, de- voted more to the patriotism than ex- treme partisanship. Generals Howard and Bickels" were tendered the greates: ovation in their respective halls. The lat- ter was especially v gorous. Introduced as a lifelong Democrat, and c'aiming al- egiance to that party, hesaid he could, when he deemed his coun:ry in peril, put a-ide party fecling, He urged all soldiers t support McKintey and bury forever the men who he claimed represented re- pudiation #nd dishoner, Each of the speakers was warmly app anded. —_— SEIZURE OF BRiTISH BUOAT.

The Galileo was docked at Martin’s stores in Brooklyn at 1 o’clock on Satur- day a‘ternoon, and at 1:40 she began to dischar e her cargo. A preliminary permit had been secured, but it was not signed by the boarding offi- cer and wus in consequence vaiueiess.

STRIKES A REEF DURING ? A FOG. Water Floods the Ho!d and the Vessel’s Prow Is Turned Landward. ALL STEAM ON TO GAIN THI B2ACH. Shoa!s Reached Before the Fires Ar Extinguished — Toe Disab'ed Liner May Be Saved. PORT TOWNSEND, Wasw., Sept. 29.— While bound to this port from Victoria, on its regular run from San Francisco to the Sound, the steamship Umatilla, commanded by Captain J. C. Hunter, met with a mishap at 3:45 o’clock this morn- ing that ‘forced it onto the soft shaley peach at Point Wilson, where it is stil: stranded. The vessel was picking 1ts way cautiously across the straits in the murky fog that had prevailed sinca early in the evening, when those aboard were startled by & grating, rasping noise, accompanied by-a slight careening of the steamship. The Umatiila had struck a rock. For only a moment was the steamship on the sunken reef. The vessel rolled to one side and soon slid from its perch, but in the brief contact wit the rock a iarge hole had been stove in the bottom, and through this the water poured into the hold. All steam was put on to get the vessel safe inside the bay. When just off Point Wilson t e water which had been pouring through the rent surged up into the fire- room, tareatenine to extinguish the fires. ‘When this fact was reported the nose of the vessel was turned to the beach, which it struck a moment later, X Unlike the condition of affairs which usually exist under such circumstances, the passengers, the officers ray, did not get in the least excited, the calmness of Cap- tain Hunter and the orderly movements of the crew assuring them that there was no danger. As soon as day broke the officers offered to lower the boats and send ashore all who might desire to go, but the passengers were confident in Captain Hunter’s assurance that it was safe to re- main and declined to leave the vessei. The posiiion the uniortunate vesse! occupies is exactly that of the Br.tish ship Kilbrannan, which went ashore there during a dense for some months ago, but was later successfully floated. It isin no imminent danger, except from north- west winds, which are uncommon at this season. At 8 o’clock this morning the steamer Angeles went to the Umatilla with a scow, and much of the ba gage and perishabl freight was brought to Poit Townsend. Several of the passengersaccompanied the luggsge, and aliare loud in their praise of the seamanship and nerve exbibited by Captain Hunter and other officers of the vessel under such trying circumstances. At noon a second trip was made by the Angeles. The steamship Walla Walla, which sailed south to-day, took part of the crew of the Umatilla back to San Francisco. From this fact it is evident that the com- pany’s representatives do not expect to ret the vessel afloat again at an early date. A correspondent who visited the scene this evening found the nose of the Uma- tilla jabbed well in the sands of the beach. The water bad risen over the main deck of the vessel aft, and the tables in the dining-room were submerged. Those aboard say that the water raised with sur- prising rapidity and that very soon after the vessel was on therock the firemen were forced to come up out of the fire- rooms. The rock was driven into the vessel’s plates just under the boilers and it did not take !ong for the water o rise up to the fire boxes, It is impossible to =ay just what will be done with the vessel. The hole is a bad one and there are some who say that it means the last of the good ship Umatilla. The rock upon which the unfortunate vessel struck is one of the many sub- merged menaces in the straits and it is not far from the notorious Sea Lion Rock, upon whici the tug of that name struck two years ago. That vessel had been plying the Sound for years, and no one suspected the pres- ence of & rock at this place until one day the tug run plump upon it. The exact location is said to be immediately off the Simms place on the straits, Captain Lloyd came ashore late last evening. He denies that the vessel went on to the Sea Lion rock. The place where she struck was an extension of a rough, pebbly beach inside the buoy at Riley's place. The Umatilla at once commenced to take water, and when the beach was reached there was eight feet of waterin the fireroom. Now the entire main deck is submerged. Diver A. O. Benjamin arrived from Beattle this afternoon <nd will investigate the damage. Eight men who were on watch at the time the vessel struck claim that the Point Wilson fog signal was not blowing. The keeper denies this and says it was blowing all night. R O LANDED AT SEATTLE. Thirty-Two Parsengers Transferred I rom the Atranded Steamship SEATTLE, Wasn., Sept. 20.—Thirty-two of the Umatilla’s passengers were brought to this city to-night on the steamer Rosalie. The master of the Rosalie, who passed the Umatilla soon after the vessel was beached, being en route from Victoria to Port Townsend, said one uf the worst fogs that he had ever experienced hung over that portion of the Sound. Tt ey HiISTORY OF THI UMATILLA. One of the Finest >tramers That Sailed From ~an Francisco. The Umatilia is owned by ibe Oregon Improvement Company, bat for years nas been under charter to Geodall, Perkins & contiscation as the penalty in such cases, | Co. It and the Walls Walla are sister ships. When they first came to the coast they were run as colliers between Seattie and San Francisco. ‘They were built by Roach in 1881, and the work of transform- ing them from colliers into passenger boats was done by the Union Iron Works. An excellent job it was, and the Umatilla was one of the finest steamers that sgiled from this port. It 1s 310 feet long, 40 feet 6 incnes wide and 30 feet deep. It isvalued at $350,000 and was partially insured in Eastern offices. There was 800 tons of cargo in the hold, but the chances are that a considerable portion of it wiil be saved. The cabin passengers on the wrecked steamer were: . D. Lubliner, H. L. de Beck, A. W. Nikon and wife, Mrs. J. A. Wall and daughter, W. B. Hamilton, Mrs. B. Mason, Miss R. Simpson, H. D.

Captain Hunter is well acquainted with the locality in which he beached his ship. Six years ago when he was master of the Weorge W. Elder his vessel went ashore in almost the same spot. It was in a fog, and not being sure of his position he came io an anchor. When the Elder swung around with the tide, its stern struck and the propeller was knocked out. Itthen began to pound, and the hain was paid out uniil it landed on the beach. After- ward it was got off and repaired at Esqui- malt. He is a very carefui master, how- ever, and as the dispatches say that the fog was heavy at the time the chanc:s are the captain will be exonerated. Point Wilson is well known to navi- gators, and many a disas er has occurred there. Abouta year ago the Briuish ship Kilbrannon went ashore there and became s total loss. Coasting vessels have also met their fate on the same point, and it has become a place marked on the chart *‘to be kept clear of"’ by all shipmasters, Captain C. Miner Goodall of Goodall, Perkins & Co. left for the scene oi the wreck last might. “As near as I can gather,” "said be, *the Umatilla went ashore in a dense fog. So far we have re- ceived no definite news, but I do not think the vessel is in much danger. She will have to be docked and repaired, but I think that inside of a month she will be in San Francisco again. The loss will be heavy. but I thizk the insurance will cover it."” Captain Gooda'l will assume command on his arrivai at Port Townsend, and will do all in his power to get ibe vessel off the rocks, SEEKING A COAST MARS, Vission of Japanese Cca’-Mine Owners to the United States.

Justice Bradford granted the request. As District Aitorney Bel! said that the case wouli be prosecuted to the bitter end a_smile was -een on the prisoner’s face.

SAN DIEGO, Car., Sept. 29.—There was filed with the County Clerk t::is morn- ing a modified decree of Judge Puter- baugh in the case of Kate A. Bradley vs. E. W. Bradley, in which the custody of the child, Harold, formerly awarded to the mother, is now transferred to the care of the father. 3 An interesting and romantic story is vehind this little conrt item. On July 13 adivorce was granted to Kate A. Bradley from F. W. Bradley, giving the custody of the six-year-old boy, Harold, to th- mother. Bradley is a member of the firm of N. B. Bradley & Sons, lumbermen of Bay City, Mich., and is reputed to be worth over $1,000,000. The father, N. B. Bradley, possesses a much larger fortune, and the little boy, Harold, is heir to both. Mrs, Bradley appeared at La Jolla last December, where she rented a cottage from Mrs. Mayes, and soon became highly esteemed for her bright and charming ways. Hsr little boy was with her. It became hinted about that the brilliant Mrs. Bradley was in California for the:| 1urpose of obtaining a divorce from her husband, who was a very wicked man gen- erally. About the 1st of February there alightea” from the train one day a handsome man— Samuel A. Benton, lawyer, New York. Mr. Benton immediately became very at- tentive to Mrs. Bradley, and in a few days the neighbors began to whisper a little. But the shrewd woman ¢ osed the moutn of “Mrs. Grundy’’ by explaining that Mr. Benton wus an invalid, bere for his heaith, a very old friend of the family and her at- torney in her effort to obtain release from her awful husband. Benton occupied the cottage with Mrs. Bradley, but, as her mother was always present, of course there conld be no harm in that. After an idyhe life at La Jolla the New Yorker sudduulz disappeared. Mrs. Brad- ley’s mother, who had come out from Bay City, returned, Jeaving the pretty would- te divorcee and her boy. hen, on July 11, Mrs. Bradley told her landlady, Mrs. Mayes, that she was about to marry Ben- ton, and would like to leave her boy with the kind-hearted cld lady. He woula be s0_troublesome on the honeymoon, she said. Mrs. Mayes consented. ~Within two days the divorce was granted. The mys- terious and handsome Benon appeared grnmpuy and went away with Mrs. radley. The next heard from the couple was a letter, dated at New York, to Mrs. Mayes, inclosing a check for the child’s expenses, but saying nothing about sending for him. Two months passed and Mrs. came worried. Finally she no grandmother at Bay City of the situation, requesting an immediate answer. She re. ceived in reply adispatch telling her to await written insiruction. In the mean- time she bad_atso received a letter from Mr. Benton of New York to the effect that Mrs. Bradley-Benton in her new relation did not think it wise to assume the care of a child, and had decided to let the father have it, but that the father, who was lead-. ing a gav bacbelor's life in the East, did not feel the proper parental regard for his child, and did not want it, either. 8o the poor little iellow, who to save his life cannot tell why he is causing so much trouble and who is the direct heir to mil- lions, was in danger oi being turned adrift on the world unless Mrs. Mayes consented to care for him on her own responsibiiity. Now, however, through the efforts of Bradley’s attorneys, the matter has been adjusted, and six-year-old Harold will | shortly be transported across the conti- nent. Benton, who has played such a promi- nent part in the affair, is said to be a well- &nown criminal lawyer of New York City. e i MRS. DOWXME. HEIRS LOSE."

SHIP'S BOAT CAPSIZED. Disaster Overtakes a Squad Sent to the Aid of a tmaller Craft. BUT ONE MAN REACHES LAND, These Whem -They Sought to Rescue Were Altready Safe on the Shore. SEATTLE, Wasn., Sept. 29.—The sail- ing schooner of. M. Morrill, Captain Can- tillion, of this City, arrived last night at Schwabacher’s dock direct from Unalaska after a cruise of nine months’ sealing on the Japan coast and Bering sea. The schoerner brings the news of the loss of seven meén from- the British cruiser Satellite in Duich Harbor on the night of September 4 during one of ‘the worst storms that ever struck the coast. The men went out in one of the ship’s: boats to save another smeller boat from the vessel containing two men. Eight men, under command of the first licutenant, were in the'boat that It was, as far as could be learned, pickea up- bodily by the wind and overturned. One of the sailors swam ashore; the others were not again seen. The next mdrning their boat was seen bigh and drv on the beach on the opposite side from the town. .The two men whom the lientenant’s crew started out to save reached the land in safety. Dutch Hurbor is a land-locked bay not far from Unalaska, and an ordinary storm cannot xffect shipping there. The storm tbat struck the place on the evening of the 4th of September is described by the crew of the sealer Morrill as a hurricane. The Satellite was anchored over a guarter of a mile from shore, while the Morriil was tied against & wharf with eight lines out. The vessels were not disturbed, and except for the loss of life no great damage was done. On the afternoon preceding the storm at night two sailors from the Satellite went out in a small boat “fishing, and had not returned when the: gale broke over the little -harbor. . No one doubted that the big, well-made boats of the cutter woyld €éarily ride out the storm. Orders were given to lower one and go in search of the smaller boat. Soon after this boat was lowered it went down, and the one man who escaped swam td s: ore, where he re- mained until the next morning. Then it vas learned that the two men out in the smaller boat had made for shore when the storm broke out and were safe, The crew of the Morrill say Dutch Har- bor never presented such a grand sight as it did that night. Weves of great height broke on the beach with the noise of heavy guns, and the harbor becawe one mass of white spray and foam. It was imvpossible to lower a soat after the storm got to 1its height.
