THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 1, 1896. 3 KEYSTONE PILGRINS Center County, Pa., Delega- tion Pays a Visit to Canton. LONG RIDE AND DISMAL WEATHER. But a Happy Address by Major McKinley Is More Than Recompense. FACTS OF INTEREST T0 THE FARMER. His Prosperity, Like That of the Laborer, Depends Upon Repub- lican Success. CANTON, Omio, Sept. 30 &~After an all- t ride on the cars a d glegation of 400 usiastic voters frov/ Center County, rrived here at8 o’clock this morning and marched through a blinding rain to the tabernacle. Major McKinley took an early and hurried breakfast and was driven down to meet his visitors a few minutes after their arrival. His appear- ance on the stage was the signal foran outburst of cheering. The delegations forzot all about the long ride and the dis- mal weather. They threw their hatsin the air and shouted and cheered and ap- planded Major McKinley for five minutes. The spokesman made an appropriate ad dress, to which Major McKinley replied: It gives me very great pleasure to meetat my home my fellow-citizens of Center County, Pa.

[Applause.] 1 have often wondered if Pennsylvania’s powerZul influence for stability, conservatism | and prosperity in the Union and its great strength and self-supporting capacity as a commonwealth in that Union was properly ap- d. Her agriculture, commerce and ctures, while independent in one sexse, have slways been mutually interdependent, t cial and helpful. The whole com- y has profited by each and all of them. is has been the case ever since 1ts settle- ment in poneer days, and under its wise sys- m of pelitical economy, not fostered by the of visionaries, but that of plain, sensible, practical men, it is more apparent to-day than ever. By the census of 1880 I have noted, as doubt- ou have noticed, that you have farm s in Pennsylyanie in your 20,000,000 000,000, or an average valuation of more than $4. T acre to the whole State; in your pro ts more than $129,000,000, or an average yield in prosperous times, when prices were good, of $6 per acre, while your menufacturers, who benefit and enrich the farmers, have an annual payroll or reward of 1abor of $134,000,000, which would mean that your farmers would have, if they furnished all | the breadstuffs and other farm products that laborers consume, nexrly $6 50 per acre each and every one of Which are prosperous when business is good and all are embarrsssed when business is bad. No other simiiar reward to husbandry is presented anywhere, and I make no apology, my fellow-citizens, for urging a like policy everywhere, or for having always endeavored to the extent of my best efforts to continue this wise system under which you have had such splendid results jn the State of Penusylvania. [Applause.] Vhy should we not do all our work and spend all our own wages at home, giving both farmers and workingmen the richest rewards for their labor of any country under the gun? [Applauseand cries “That’s the stuff.”] An.| swer that my fellow-citizens. [Applauss and cries of “Give us protection.”] My greatest concern, my chief object in this, as in every campaign, is to drive from our shores distress and went and misery and tift up those who are bowed down and bring to those who are in want work and prosperity. [Applause I will never view with tolerance any system which bas a different object toward any Ameri- can citizen anywhere within the limits of our great Republic. [Apulause and cries of “Hur. rah for McKinley.” ] The other question involved in this cam- paign 18 the reactionary policy of free silver, which I need nardly mention to a Pennsyl. vania audience, 10 the people of purest Quaker descent, who love honesty and practice it, [Applanse.] Oneof the injurious effects from the mere advocacy of free silver, and which is too.little noted, is that it makes it harder to induce many Who would otherwise invest to enter legitimate public and private enter- prises. There isa waiting. There is distress on every hands Men do not know what the future has in &tore for them. This is particu- larly observable in citics which are endeavor- ing to sell their bonds 1o make public improve- ments. Many cities auticipate the collection of taxes for the purpose of making public im- provements. The very threat of free silver is stopping the sale of city bonds in every part of the country. This loss falls with peculfar force upon laborers everywhere. Cities can ordinarily mske improvements if they can borrow the money; if they cannot borrow money vhey cannot make improvements. If they cannot make improvements hundreds and thousands of laboring men who depend upon this elass of work for their daily bread are deprived of employment. During the hard times of the past three years many of our cities have taken care of the unemployed by making such improve- ments, but se are now brought to a sudden stop, and i1 1s entailing a further los: "¢ 1 ers and adding distress to their homy: Tb again, men engaged in the productive enter- prises find it difficult, if not quite impossible, to secure enough money to conduct their busi- ness. Men will not part with their money un- less they hase reasonable assurance of its safe return. The trouble is that distrustis every- where present. Confidence has been ais- placed by fear and apprehension. The whole business world is awaiting the settlement of the question of public and private honesty. When that is rightly settled on the side of conscience and good morals confidence will come again, and.with it money will circulate and business activity will appear.

Itis possible that the parade will be divided into two sections in order to successfully maneuver it. One hundred thousand men, it is estimated, will be in line. Senator Warren of Wyoming reports to headquarters: “If our progress continues as fast as it has in the past sixty days we shall carry the State by a good sate majority. IfI were a betting man I should certainly bet on our winning in this State.” Senator Allison has been assigned to speak at Omaha October 13. ———— ) COLORADO REPUBLICANS, Stalwarts Meet in State Convention and Nomsnate a Ticket.

Arouse the Greatest Enth Tour of Nebr WEST POINT, NeBr., Sept. 30.—The company of Union veterans touringin this State addressed the people of Northern Nebraska at West Point to-day. A crowd of visitors, estimated at 2000, 500 old sol- diers among them, came to town on trains and vehicles. The visitors included Generals Sickels, Alger, Stewart, Howard, Corporal Tanner and ex-Senator Mander- son and General Cowan of Omaha. Pub- lic schools were closed and business al- most entirely suspended. The exercises were held in the park, and while the speeches were brief the enthusiasm was great, General Sickles received a genuine ovation. He said he wasa Democrat of fifty years’ standing, with the span of life nearly spent. There wa< nothin= the Re- publican party could offer which he would accept, but in'the present emergency he was 1mpelled to put aside party feeling and vote for what he considered the integ- rity of the Nation. At Freemont the visit of the Union generals this evening was made the oc- casion of the greatest demonstration of the campaign. Visitors came from all over the western ana northern parts of the State. e Figures of the Bryanites. CHICAGO, Iiy., Sept. 30.—According to those in charge of Democratic National headquarters, the close of September finds matters in a more satisfactory condition. They say that the cause of Bryan and free silver has received a marked impetus dur- ing the past ten days. Kansas is claimed for the silver forces by 50,000 majority; Kentucky by 30,000, Fusion has been ac- complished in Michigan, which, it is claimed will give that State to Bryan by a large majority. ‘The Democratic man- agers state thata poli by the Republicans give: Bryan Nebraska by 25,000, Missouri by 50,000 and Iilinois by 40,000 majorit; outside of Chicago and 25,000 in %o { County.

LONDON, Exc., Sept. 30.—The text is printed here of the sharp note which the foreign Embassies in Constantinople sent to the Porte in response to the Porte’s re- ply to their first note to that body con- demning the massacresin Constantinople.

Y., Sept. 30.—The Herald’s special from Havana says: Ad- vices have been received from Managua, Nicaragua, that a plot was formed in Managua to overthrow the Government oi that country and kill President Zelaya.

STANFORD UNIVERSITY, CAL., Sept. 30.—The first of the interclass football games was played to-day between the seniors and freshmen, to decide the cham- pionship. Larger crowds than usual were on hand to witness the game, and while the upper-class team played much more like & team than in its previous game, the freshmen were badly handicapped and confused by the loss of several men who are “‘convalescing.”” The line of the seniors was much stronger than that of the freshmen and they made fewer bad breaks. The work of the freshmen grew poorer after the first touchdown, which was made four minutes after play began. They seemed to lose heart and ‘confidence, and the heavy senior line piled through them at will. - Several players were ‘“winded” during the play and time taken out for them to recover prolonged the game. The teams lined up at 4:30 as foilows: Positions. 97’ Chandler Gilvray Umpire—Fickert ‘98, Referee—bfclntosh.

'97’s ball—The seniors, through_the work of halfs and tackles, carried the ball well into ’00’s territory before they had to give up the ball. 700’s ball—Diggles was again given the ball and again was tackled back of the line, Lana- gan punted for ten yards and m%gxes fell on the ball, fumbled by Holbrook. The “freshies” lost the sphere on a fumbie. '97’s ball—Jost and C. Thomas each made long gains. Robinson went through right guard for four and made as many more on the next essay. Jost made six, but fumbled and 700 got the ball. ’00’s ball—Lansgan fumbled the first pass, which was & poor one, and his try fora punt ‘was a failure. ’97’s ball—Rice mede a six-yard run, Robin- son two and B.

BEARS A PRECIOUS PACK. Travels Over a Snow- Covered Pass With His Twin Boys on His Shoulders. THEY ARE BUT TWO YEARS OLD. How the First White Childrer Born at Six-Mile Crossed the Mountains. SEATTLE, Wasa., Sepl. 30.—Born within the borders of a land owned by the United States and yet farther away from the center of their own country civiliza- tion than any other child or children, is the distinction which will follow Joseph and Bernard Day through life. They are two-year-old twins, and arrived in this city to-day on the steamer Willapa direct from Alaska, and the place of their birth is not the only thing remarkable thus far in their lives, for with the aid of their father they made, in order to reach Ju- neau and make connections with the Wil- lapa, a trip of many days, coming from the Yukon mining district and crossing the grand but dangerous summit by the Chilcat ‘Pass. Otuers many years their senoirs have attempted to make that same trip and were never heard of again, but the babes are alive and well, and while they can’t talk yet they hope to some day be able to discuss the trip as it comes 1o them from the lips of their father, U. Day. The story of their birth, of their re- markable trip and ether facts counected with them is one that does not find its way into print very often. U. Day is a miner. He is a big, fine-looking man and for years before he decided to go to Alas- ka he worked in the silver mines of the East. He was experienced in his busi- ness and when he made a trip to Alaska four years ago and took a look at the coun- try he made up his mind that he would come back to the United Statesand get his wife, a bride of a few months, and re- turn to the land of gold. He came back and his wife, who was at that time living with some well-to-do relatives in a suburb of Minneapolis, Minn., consented to re- turn with him to Alaska. She was not very strong, but had plenty of nerve, and in the spring, with the aid of her hus- band, she reached the Yukon mining dis- trict in safety. Her coming was a great event among the miners. But one or two women had ever been among them and those had held aloof from the common miners. Mrs. Day took an interest in them and endeavored to bring happiness into their lives, Just two years ago she gave birth to twin boys. They were big and healthy, had eyes that were black as coal and cheeks as red as apples. TkLe exact date of their birth was October 13, 1894, and the place Sixty-Mile Creek. Never did the coming of any one, not even of the hardy men who carry the mail, create such a fervor in the Yukon district. Miners who came down to-day say that for three months after the birth of the twins Mr. and Mrs. Day received presents from min- ers far away who heard of the new arriv- als. They were the first children ever vorn in the Yukon district, and they were petted and caressed and humored as though they were the children of some great king. On June 3, this vear, Mrs. Day, who had not been well since the birth of the chil- dren, died, and there was general mourn- ing in cnmcf. Everybody wondered what would become of the twins. Day told his friends that in the fall he would take them to the United States and place them with their mother’'s relatives at Minneapolis. The miners laughed at him and said that it would be impossible for him to make the trip until the babies were old enough to walk. Two months ago Day decided to leave the Yukon with his little ones. The miners generally were of the opinion that it would mean death for the children and probably for the father if he undertook the trip. Day was determined. He said that to keep the children ‘at Sixty Mile would mean a life of ignorance and suffer- ing. So early in July Day started for Juneau with the prides of the Yukon. Before his departure old and hardened miners shed tears and and prayed for the safety of the children. Day said that if they died he would die with them. They were dressed in clothes of heavy woolen cloth and, strange as it may seem, made the trip the greater part of the way strapped on the shoulders of their father. He carried them similar to the wa; dian women pack their papooses ngom. They were a great burden, when the length of the trip is taken into considera- tion and the further fact that Day had a pack of provisions and blankets to ecarry with him. Day says that at times the weather was very cold and when his babies would not even cry he would think that probably they were benumbed by the cold. Then he would take a peep at them and they would either be laughing or sleepinr. Once he says they amused themselves all day long playing with his long hair. When night came on and he was ready to rest, Day would remove the children from his back and they would sleep in his arms. ‘“‘Not once did they ever so much as cry.”” says Day. 'he trip across the summit of the Chil- cat Pass was the most severe of all, but the little ones stood it all right, though Day says they must have suifered some, because he did himself. Several times, in crossing the summirt, 'Dni, weak with the long trip and the heavy burden, sl % and but for the precious ones on his back, he says, he believes he would have given up, sunk down lndo‘rerinhed. Their coo- ing, he says, arqused him, and he would struggle on. Juneau was finally reached and safely; there the babes were weighed and it was found that they had grown fatduring their remarkable journey. They re- mained there a little while, and when the Willapa arrived took passage on it for the Sound. In a day or two Day will leave with his sons for Minneapolis, where they will be placed with relatives and educated. old miners say the trip will go down as the most remarkable ever made from the Yukon district to Juneau.
