THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 6, 1896. FRANCE WELCOMES CZAR NICHOLAS Forts and Warships Join in Firing the Imperial Salute. Through Stormy Weather the Emperor and Empress Emerge at Cherbourg. GREAT FRIENDSHIP DISPLAYED President Faure and the Leading Dip- lomats of the Nation Receive the Royal Visitors. Oct. 5—The re from Ports- | CHERBOURG, Fraxck, Czar and Czarina arrived b mouth, England, at 20’clock this afternoon | and were given a frantic ovation by the immense crowds that had assembled near | the Bassin du Commerce, the Avant Porte | and the guays in that vicinity. | The weather was stormy throughout the night and early this morning and rain was 1 ng heavily. This had a bad effect on the many beautiful decorations but did | not dampen the enthusiasm of the multi- tude; which, armed with umbrellas, early sought points of vantage from W ich they could not be driven by the weathe: Along the route from the Quay de I’An- cien Arsenal, which ironts the eastern si of the Avant Porte, to the railway station were number: Venetian marts which presented a handsome sight last night, but which looked bedraggled afier hav- ing been exposed to the storm: Many of them were blown down by a heavy squail : the night and a large force of workmen were put at work early to replace them as far as possible. All night long thousands of persons of Faure presented her with a beautiful floral offering and uttered a few cordial words of welcome, after bowing to and kissing the hand of her Majesty. The Czar was attired in the uniform of A naval officer and wore on his breast the grand Cross of the Legion of Honor. As he landed on the quay President Faure stepped forward and greeted him. The Czar extended his hand, and after a hearty chosen words welcomed him to France. The Czar replied briefly, after which Mr. Faure gave his arm to the Czarinaand walked to the reception-room in the arse- nal, where the distinguished personages present were introduced. The rooms in the arsenal were handsomely decorated. The first salon was furnisbed in crimson satin and decorated with naval trophies. 1§xe second or diplomatic salon, was fur- nished in yellow satin, with flowers and n?ugnlficenl mirrors, leading into two spa- cious cabinets de toilette. The dining- room was furnished in pale green satin, ariillery trophies and models of torpedo and naval machinery. In this room there wasa table of honor in the Louis XIV style to seat only about fifteen, together With two other tables seating sixty more. Shortly after the imperial couple had landed the sun broke through the clouds, and this was taken as a happy augury. The Czar and Czarina had a short rest be- fore 6 o'clock, at which hour a magnifi- cent banquet was spread in the dining- nall.. It was the original intention that the imperial party should traverse the | streets of the city, but the unpleasant state of the weather forbade this, and at 8 o'(‘:lock the Czar and Czarina and their suites boarded the special train that was awaiting them, a track baving been specially laid there to the railway station, and started for Paris. President Faure, the Ministers and other high officials pro- ceeded for Paris on the train on which | they traveled to Cherbourg last night. Taken altogether, the reception to the mperial visitors here was one long to be remembered, and must have impressed | the Czar with the great friendship enter- s | tained for him by the French, not alone | the official class, but by all the people. ———— GREAT CROWDS IN PARIS. Lively Times Ahead for the Police Dup- | ing the Parade. PARIS, Fraxce, Oct. 5.—The boule- vards this evening presented a remarkable | sight. It had been stormy in the early part of the day and this caused the greatest discomfort to the thousands of all ages and conditions flocked into the town from all parts of the interior, and the trains that arrived this brought tho literally packed, but the crowds were orderly and good natured. Every one ap- | peared to be anxious to show iriendship for the great ally of France, and as the| hour approached that had been fixed for | the Czar’s arrival feveris tement pre- vailed among the thousands close to the | water front. 1 The eastern ana western jetties and the places at the entrance to the Avant Port were black with huma y. None but d individuals, bowever, were allowed on these places, for from them the first | and best views ol the roaching naval | procession could be seen, and the yacht Polar Star, bearing ar and Czarina | and their suites, passed up to the Quaide | L’ Ancien Arsenal through the two jetties. | umbers of ger \es were every- ¥ in keep- e crowds were very tract- ing order, a8 ¢ A stiff gale was blowing outside the all morning and a very high sea iich made the crossing of annel a most unpleasant experience used to sea voyages. alled that the Czar was a very r, he having made a voyage al- und the world while he was Czar- , but much sympathy was expressed Czarina, who, in addition to being delicate health, is unused to sea voy- storm signal was flying on the ater and altogether the weather were most inauspicious. o'clock the French northern squadron left the roadstead and headed ss the channel for the purpose of the Russian yachts and British accompanying them.

They all proceeded 1e middle of the channel, where up and awaited the coming of conditil At 8 oon signals on the breakwater at the Polar Star had been the enthusiasm of the crowd in a mighty cheer. Prior to e crowd knew the yacht , for there had been niuy beard the deep booming of the guns from the French and British war- ships as they met As the vessels approached the break- water the Polar Star was seen to be mak- ing heavy weather of it, sometimes pitch- ir Imost bows under. Despite this, as the yacht passed into the harbor past the breakwater the Czar was seen standing on the bridge wrapped in a storm-proof cloak. As the Polar Star passed in the forts on the breakwater thurfdered forth an im- perial salute and the crowds ashore broke forth in wild cheering. The warships passed ahead of the yacht in the haroor and ranged themselves in two lines, through which the Polar Star steamed slowly to the Quai de I’Ancien Arsenal, followed by the Standart. As the Polar Star passed the bands on the French war- ships played the Russian national anthem. The Russian standard was at the heads of their foremasts and as it was broken out an imperial salute was fired. On the quay awaiting the coming of their Majesties were President Faure, at- tired in evening dress, with the ribbon of the Legion of Honor. Therc were also present M. Challemel-Lacour, President of the Senate; M. Brisson, President of the Chamber of Depunties; M. Meline, Presi- dent of the Council of Ministers and Min- r of Agriculture; M. Hanotaux, Min- r of Foreign Affairs, and a large num- r of high naval and military officers. . Meline wore the green decoration of e Merite Agricole. M. Hanotaux was red in diplomatic uniform with the red decoration of the Russian order of St. rew. aron de Mohrenheim, Russian Embas- ador to France, and Count Lannes de ontebeilo, French Embassador to Rus- Admiral Besnard, Minister of Marine, 1 his newly obtained star of the Legion of Honor, and the staif appointed to at- tend the Czar and Czarina while they are in France, were also present. Owing to the high wind d4nd rough water great difficulty was experienced in getting the Polar Star alongside thequay. During the maneuvering to get her in position for the landing of her august passengers the vast multitude in the vicinity were very quiet, but when the gangway was finally in position and the Czarina stepped onto the quay, followed almost immediately by the Czar, shouts of “Long live the Czar,” *‘Long live Russia,” rent the air, and were repeated again and again, and the crowd shouted itself hoarse in the enthusiasm of its welcome to the great friend of France. As the Czarina stepped ashore President morning | sands more. The streets were | itors who had been unable to secure | lodgings in the city or vicinity. Toward evening the weather that had given promise of clearing in the early afternoou | became fine and then the principal streets became fairly jammed with people. All the cafes on the boulevards were uncom- fortably crawded and a steady stream of people flowed along the sidewaiks and | frequently overflowed into the roadways. Gay crowds gathered abont the places where workmen were hurriedly engaged | in finishing the decorations and jokes and jests were.freely indulged in. Throughout the night hawkers traveled tbe streets selling portraits of the Czar and Czarina, for which there was a great demand. It is esiimaced that there are fully 1,000,000 strangers in the city. The crowds are very orderly. To-morrow will be a general holiday in honor of the Czar. Every precaution has been taken for the safety of the nation’s guest. The route of the procession through the city will be lined with troops who will keep the line within the strictest discipline. Behind the troops will be stationed policemen who will face the erowd, thus bein: in a posi- tion to seize any seditious shouter or of- fender against the majesty of the Czar. BABY FARMING AT CHICAGD Bodies of Three Infants Found in the River Near Harrison- Street Bridge. While the Stream Is Being Dragged Detectives Are Locking for the Murd rers. CHICAGO, Irn., Oct. 5—Three dead babies have been taken from the Chicago River near Harrison-street bridge since | last Thursaay, and men are at work drag- ging the siream to ascertain whether more bodies lie on the muddy bottom. The po- lice believe that the search will be success- ful. Then search will be made at the other bridges. The bodies that were found were ina fair state of preservation. They had been in the water for some time, but not long enough to prevent an autopsy being made. When the doctors examined the little bodies they found that in each case the child had been aiive when thrown into the river and that death had been caused by drowning. ] The authorities are fully convinced that the dead babies are the victims of one of the horrible baby farms which from time to time are discovered. It is believed that the baby farms exist somewhere in the lower part of the city and that babies are taken from it at night, carried to one of the bridges over the river and quietly dropped into the water. It is this belief that has caused the police to have the river dragged both at Harrison-street bridge and at the other bridges, and it is this belief that causes the authorities to think that other bodies will be found. On none of the babies was there anything to lead to the identification of the victims. Still the police are not without hope of being able to trace the crime. Some of the best detectives on the force are at work on it. It is generally understood in police circles that they bave found a clew, and it is hinted that before many hours have passed some sensational accusations will be made. 1ln the meantime the offi- cers refuse to tell what progress they are making in their search for the establish- ment where helpless babies were mur- dered by wholesa'e. — SHOT IN THE GEOIN, An Assailant Promptly Laid Low by a Determined Woman. CHICAGO, ILL., Oct. 5.—To save her own life Mrs. Jennie Bovee shot and probably fatally wounded Charles A. Black yester- day- afternoon at her rooms in West Madison street. Black had assaulted Mrs. Boyee because of a statement made earlier in the day which be thought reflected upon his wife’s character. Mrs., Bovee was locked up at Desplaines street station. Her victim was taken to the County Hospital. The shooting occurred in the front room of the little flat. Black, made reckless by liquor and his wife’s tale of insult, entered the building about 8 P. M., and with curses and threats Gclimbed the stairs. Mrs. Bovee and a lodger, Mrs. May, attempted to prevent his entrance, but o .no pur- pose. . He pushed open the door and erabbed Mrs. Bovee by the throat. Be- lieving herself iu danger of her life the woman drew a revolyer and shot Black in the groin, bandshake the President in a few happily | HARRISON SPEMKS | AT OLD RICHMOND Five Thousand Virginians Hear the Distinguished Ex-President. Federal Intervention to Suppress Riots and Enforce Law Just fied. CAMPAIGN ISSUES REVIEWED. Reasons Why the Voters Should Join in Upholding the Integrity of the Nation.- RICHMOND, Va., Oct. 5.—Ex-President Benjamin Harrison addressed about 5000 people here to-night at the Auditorium building. Of the number named about half were colored people. The distin- uished speaker was meét at Hanover Junction by a committee of well-known Republicans, and on his arrival here was driven to the Jefferson Hotel. After dinner he was driven to the Auditorium. General Harrison was cordially received by the crowd. Judge Lewis, who presided over the meeting, presented the speaker of the occasion. There were in the stand a number of lead- ing Republicans and Sound-money Dem- ocrais, and there were many Bryan men in the andience. About 9 o'clock the electric lights sud- denly wentout as they did when Mr. Bryan spoke in the same place recently. For about five minuies the hall was in dark- ness. During this time Mr. Harrison re- marked that our party does not need so much light as that of our opponents. ~An old colored man soon brought in a torch, which he passed up to the speaker. The lights were turned on soon afterward. Mr. Harrison then spoke as follows: 1 have upon my return 10 my home in the West been requested by some Virginia friends to speak to you tor a little while upon some of the great issues that are now agitating in an extraordinary way all the people of all sec- tions of this great country. Virginia is not the enemy's country to me. It 18 my ancestral home and its citizens are my fellow-citigens. There was a time when the North and South were arrayed against each other. That time is to us now only a memory; we are again one united, loyal people. If it should ever be the sad fate of this country to be sgain- involved in war; -if any foreign power trample upon that flag or invades our shores, Inejana and Vir- ginia will charge together against the enemy, and then what shall stay that onslaugnt? The memory of Gettysburg and Appomattox will make it impossible for a regiment of English to get on this side of the breastworks. The speaker then said that they were citizens of a Union estabiished by our fore- fathers and would claim those rights which were left to the States when the Federal constitution was organized. The wisdom of our forefathers aevised a sys- tem by which they committed to the Na- tional Government all National concerns and reserved to the State Governments all local concerns. Continuing he said: I regret to notice that in this campaign an issue is made on what I believe to be the just powers of the National Government. The in- cident out of which this grows is what has come to be well known as the great Chicago riot. There, in defiance of law, both Stateand National, great organized bodies, or acting in- dividually upon a mad impulse, went through the streets of Chicago with fire and sword, de- stroying property, interrupting all ratiroad communication and stopping the passage of the United States mail. This had its origin in a railroad strike, but I believe these acts of violence were largely the acts of irresponsible and desperate men, who marched under the red flag of anarchy. The President, Mr. Cleveland, a Democrat, felt it to be his auty under the constitution to use the forces of the United States to open & way for the public mails and for interstate com- merce. It was as plainly his duty to dosso asany duty that ever devolved upon a public of- ficial. Does Virginia consent, does she mean to express her consent this fall that the mails may be stopped by & mob inany city of our States and their delivery interruptea? Does Virginia mean to say this fall at the election that she 1s content that the products of her State on the way to another State may be stopped by an irresponsible mob in any city in the land? The Presidentof the United States is sworn to execute the laws and is made commander- in-chief of the army and navy of the United States, that he may have suitable instruments to execute them. Without unnecessary vio- lence, with a restraint that was remarkable, the troops of tne United States were simply used to push outof the way of those rioters who obstructed the progress of the mails and of interstate commerce. The courts of the United States were ap- pealed to. That right is familiar to every lawyer and every intelligent citizen, the right of injunction by which the courts restrain lawless conspiracies to oppose the law, and it ‘was used by the Circuit Courts of the United States. It is essential to the life of the judiciary that it should have power to punish those who in- sult or disobey it. These courts proceeded with the most strict conformity to law. They proceeded upon lines familiar to the profes- sion and yet the President who executed the law by using the forces of the United States, and the courts that used thelr powers to an- ticipate and prevent violation of the law, are both denounced in the Chicago platform. Continuing, the speaker said that our communities everywhere rested tpon the law and its enforcement for their secur- ity, and that of all sections the South should be more jealous to see that the power of the law was preserved, and Vir- ginia esvecially, the State that gave to the United States the great Chief Justice Marshall. The speaker then declared that Senator Daniel had introduced and passed a reso- lution in the Benate indorsing tne action of President Uleveland, and yet he had presided over the convention which de- nounced that very act. Continuing on this subject Mr. Harrison said : Have we ever heard anything from the can- aidate of the Chicago convention? Has he ever said in any speech he has made that if he should be chosen President that he would exe- cute the law as Mr. Cleveland executed itt ‘He has not said it, but he has accepted every word of the Chicago convention, and there- fore is pledged that If he is elected President, and that in New York, Chicago cr in any other great center of population a mob should lift the red flag of anarchy and stay the progress of your mails, he would not interfere until the Governor of the State asked him to. Whatever may have been your party affiliations, are you prepared for that? The remaiuder or Mr. Harrison’s speech was devoted to the discussion of the finan- cial question in its various phases. Mr. Harrison left the city to-night on the private car of Mr. Ingalls, president of the Chesapeake and Onio road. INFLUENCED BY FUSION. Major William Walton Withdraws From the Populist Ticket. AUSTIN, TEx., Oct. 5.—Major William ‘Walton, candidate for State Attorney on the Populist ticket, withdrew to-day. In his card he says the Chicago platform in its financial and other umportant planks is purely Populist and he urges all Populists to stand by it and prevent the electoral vote of Texas going to McKinley. The free-silver Democrats are jubilant, but Marion Wiiliams, editor of a Populist paper, and other leaders in the Populist party say Walton’s withdrawal will in no way affect the campaign. Dr. E. P. Wilmot, chairman of the Republican executive committee of this district, said he thoniht it would have no influence one way or the other. Itisrevorted thatthere is a possibility of Judge Rufus Hardy, chairman of the souad-money Democratic committee, taking Walion’s place. DALLAS, Tex,, Oct. 5,—The announce- ment that Hon. M. W. Walton of Austin, Pogulist nominee for Attorney-General, bad withdrawn from the Populist ticket, created general mr?rise among the Popu- list leadersof this city. It is believed that the Republican-Populist fusion scheme has influenced him 1n his course. H LoD WHAT DAVE HILL WILL DO. Danforth Thinks He Will Support the Bryan Ticket. UTICA, N. Y., Oct. 5.—Hon. Elliott Danforth, chairman of the Democratic State Committee, was here to-day, where he had some business before the Surrogate Circuit Court. "A rsporter asked him con- cerning his visit to Senator Hill at Albany and as to what stand Senator Hill would take in this campaign. He received the following replv : *‘Ibelieve Senator Hill will support the Democratic ticket and is anx- ious for its success. At the proper time and in his own way I believe that he will so declare.” Chairman Danforth appearea in tne best of spirits and those who talked with him were of the impression that he re- ceived assurances from Hill in Albany that gave him considerable confidence in the campaign. e Formal Protests Filed. LINCOLN, NEBR., Oct. 5—Formal pro- tests were to-day filed with the Secretary ot State by attorneys representing the State Central Committee. The petition objects to the nominees of the administra- tion wing of the Democratic party appear- ing on the official ballot as Democrats. The protest sets forth that this element does not stand for the principles incorpor- ated in the platform of the National plat- form, and therefore can only appear as by petition. FRAUD 15 NOW ALLEGED. Stockholders Ask a Receiver for the Harrison Telephone Company. Millions of Dollars Said to Have Been Squandered or Given Away. CHICAGO, ILL., Oct. 5.—A bill for a re- ceiver was filed tg-day in the United States Court here by 8. A. Williams and D. J. Young of Smith, Ark., two stockholders, praying that some one be appointed to take charge of the affairs of the Harrison {nternational Telephope Company. An order was made restraining P. E. Ingalls from disposing of any property, and the motion for the appointment of a receiver will be heard at a later date. The bill as- serts that the franchises and patents of the International Telephone Company bave been given to the International Tele- phone Construction Company, of which President Ingalls is the practical owner. The bill charges that the telephone company was organized by Inventor Har- rison with a capital of $80,000,000, reserv- ing to himself $50,000,000. It is also al- leged that later $2,000,000 was donated to United States Senator Stephen B. Elkins and ex-Secretary of the Treasury Charles Foster, R. E. Kerns, G. R. Peck, Congress- man William Warner and others. It is charged also that the proceeds of the stock which was really sold was thrown away in exorbitant commission and foreclosuré: of franchises. It is claimed that fraud was used in the trans- for of the property of the telephone com- pany to the construction company, as the minutes of the telephone company were changed without authority to make such action seem regular. Therefore owners of the stock of the telephone company find themselves with nothing but worthless paper representing their holdings in the telephone company. The compiainants assert that President Ingalls has frandulently obfained posses- sion of all interests, and a receiver is prayed for to take charge of the property of both the companies and that the court set aside the alleged fraudulent transfers and that the receiver be authorized to wind up the affairs of both companies, which are said to be insoivent. Gy goe s ATTEMPT T0 BURN A MINE. Peculiar Incendiary Work at the Seneca That Cannot Be Attributed to Union Men. LEADVILLE, Coro., Oct. 5.—It trans- pires to-night that an attempt was made last night to burn the Seneca mine. It was learned to-day that some one cut the cable and sent the bucket crashing to the bottom of the shalt, but as the Seneca is employing union men at union wages it was the supposition at first that a lot of boys did the job. Investigation, however, shows that men did the work. They ruined some of the machinery and sent the bucker down the shaft, breaking some timbers. Then they saturatdd a lot of paper and rags with oil, and tried to set tke shaft-house on fire, but the flames went out. The Seneca is located on Carbonate Hill and is a big lead producer. The damage sustained amounts to only $600. As the Seneca is not breaking any of the laws of the union the destruction of its property is unaccounted for, unless done as spite work. The B:neca is under lease to Dan McNivin, William Venable, a member of Com- pany K, C.N. G., of thiscity, wasaccident- ally shot in the left arm while at target practice this morning and it was found necessary to amputate the injured mem- ber this evening. . Imports of Gold. NEW YORK, N. Y., Oct. 5.—The steam- ship La Bourgogne, which arrived yester- day, brought $600,000 gold consigned to Lazard Freres. It was announced from Boston that Kidder, Peabody & Co. have received $950,000 gold by the steamer Ser- via. Total imports thus far have been $44,319,590. Faluable Ore Stolem. VICTOR, Corc., Oct. 5—On Sunday night the orehouse of the May Bell mine was robbed of sixty-five sacks of ore which is estimated run $65,000 to the ton. Theore was awaiting shipment and ‘was thought to be securely locked. McKINLEY GREETED BY YOUNG VOTERS With Bands and Torches They Call on the Repub- lican Candidate. Some Good Advice That All Americans Would Do Well to Follow. MANY DELEGATIONS ARE GOING Canton Continues to Be the Mecca for Those Who Favor Protection and Prosperity. CANTON, O=io, Oct. 5.—Major McKin- ley had an unexpected call this evening from several hundred of the first voters of Canton. They came with torches and bands at half-past 8 o’clock. T.F. Tur- ner made some pleasant remarks for the first voters, to which Major McKinley re- sponded as follows: Iam glad, young men of Canton, to meet you at my home to-night, and I congratulate you upon having enrolled yourselveson the side of the Republican party. No party ever had a grander history; no party ever did more for American kind, for liberty, for equality and for the progress and glory of the country than the party in whose cause you have en- listed. No party appeals more to the inteili- gence and pride and the patriotism of young men than ours. I appreciate this call. The young men are always an inspiration to me. They represent the community, the State and the Nation. [Applause.] In & little while will fall upon them the duties and responsi- bilities which are now borne by those who are older. 1 love to have the young men about me; and I can do no better than to say to you to-day—those of you who have your careers ye 1to make and your fortunes yet to build, and yout places to find—I can do mno better than to say to you that there is nothing in this world that will serve you so well as good character, clean in morals and in life, I do not care what you may conclude to do— whether you engage in business or a pro- fession; what you may choose as your occups- tion—there is nothing that will count so much, or mean so much, or wear so well, as good habits and a spotless name. [Applause.] You have done wéll in this first voting to en- list under the banner of the Republican party, which, in my judgment, represents the best hopes and aspirations of the American people, and embraces within its doctrines and pur- poses the honor of the country and the gre est prosperity of all the people. [Great ap- plause.] Major McKinley had a quiet time to- day, so far as the calls of visitors and dele- zates were concerned. The one delega- tion scheduled for to-day failed to come, and there were few callers. Major Mc- Kinley was grateful for the respite, for it gave him an opportunity for uninter- rupted work on the speeches which he is to make Tuesday and later in the week. . Four delegations are expected to-mor- row—one from Syracuse, one from Buf- falo, one from Michigan and one from In- diana. Judge A. W. Tenny of Brooklyn was one of Major McKinley’s callers to-day. He has bee: making speeches in Virginia and West Virginia and firmly believes the Republicans will carry both States. He is confidéht that the plurality for the Re- publican ticket in West Virginia will ex- ceed 10,000. Heis of the opinion that a large number of Democrats of Virginia will support Palmer and Buckner and tne vote of the State be so split that the Re- publicans can elect their electoral ticket. A dispatch from Virginia to-night says that the excursion of ex-Confederates from the Shenandoah Valley will arrive 1n Canton Friday morning at 8:30. The delegation of ex-Confederates wiil come on four special trains of ten coaches each. Major McKinley received by express to- day a fine live eagle irom State Senator E. 8. Denison of California. The letter which came with the eagle said: “I send vou alive American eagle captured in the hills of Berkeley as a worthy and em- blematic mascot in this patriotic cam- vaign for protection and sound money. He bears encouraging news from Califor- nia, and fairly illustrates the watchful eye, strength of purpose and unconquer- able will and spirit that animates the Re- publican party ja this aistant State.”” e g O ENTHUSIASM AT ST. JOSEPH. Veteran Republican Orators Given a Eousing Reception. ST. JOSEPH, Mo., Oct. 5.—The party composed of Generals O. O. Howard, Rus- sell A. Alger, Daniel E. Sickels, Thomas J. Stewart, George A.Marsden, Corporal Tanner, Major J. W. Burst, Colonel Georze H. Hopkins and ofher distin- guished sound money. orators reached here to-night by special train and were met at the station by all of the Republi- can clubs of the city and 5000 spectators were formed in & procession and, headed by the veteran McKinley Club and the Blaine Flambeau Club, marched threugh the streets of the city. It is estimated that 7500 people were in line and enthusi- asm ran hich. The visitors were escorted to the opera- house, where they spoke on the political questions of the day. The halls were insufficient to take care of one-tenth of the crowd and overflowing meetings were held, people standing in the rain to hear the orators. The party was most cor- dially treated here and left by special at 11 P. M. for Ottumwa, Iowa. S GAIN FIFirEN TOWNS. Republicans Secure Victories in the Con- necticut Election. HARTFORD, Coxx., Oct. 5. — Town elections were held in all the 169 towns in the State, with the exception of Hartford, New Haven, Bridgeport, Ansonia, Derby and Nanagutuck. Returns show that the Republicans have made large gains over a year ago, having nearly doubled their number of towns from 1893, In Hartford County in 1895 the towns stood: Republi- can 17, Democratic 14, divided 7. Returns show that the Republicans have gained three towns and the Democrats have lost one, five being divided. Middlesex County, complete, shows twelve Republi- can towns. In two towus ‘‘National Democratic” tickets were voted for. It is probable that the complete returns till show that the Republicans have gained at least filteen towns. e CAMPAIGN LItLS ARE NAILED., Hobart Not Interésted in Coal Trusts, and Hanna Iy Hopeful. NEW YORK, N. Y., Oct. 5.—When Vice- | Presidential Candidate Hobart's attention was called to-day toa dispatch that has been recently circulated in the West that he is president of the coal trust, which, it is alleged, has advanced the price of coal, Mr. Hobart said: “Last December the trunk line railroads east of the Mississippi were called upon, under an agreement known as the Joint Traffic Association, to select three arbitrators to arbitrate the dif- ferences which might arise between the railroads. Only trunk lines were included in this arbitration. The coal roads were not included, and the matters submitted | to arbitratlon had nothing to do with the coal production, coal tonnage or the price of coal in any gnanner, form or shape whatever, either directly or indirectly.” Mr. Hobart also said he has no connec- tion with any such coal trust and does not know of the existence of any such trust, except as he has scen statements in the newspapers. Mr. Hanna, when asked this afternoon what truth there was in the report that he had written a letter to an intimate friend in which he *‘conceded the election of Bryan because Republicans were unable to control the labor vote,” said that the report was absurd on the face of it. “I have not written such a letter,” he said, “nor have I at any time said anything capable of such construction. I have never conceded the election of Mr. Bryan, and I certainly cannot concede it now when the tide 1s flowing so strongly and unmistakably in the direction of Republi- can success.” o CANNUT ELECT BRXAN. Repudblican Managers Issus a Statement Whnich Democrats Deny. CHICAGO, Irn., Oct. 5—A bulletin issued by the Republican National man- agers declares that from now on the Democratic National Committee will in effect abandon the attempt to elect Bryan and ‘“devote the rest of the campaign to the election of Legislatures ‘in States where United States Senators are to be chosen. Their plan is to try to' retain the free silver control in the Senate by electing enough silver Senators to hold the balance of power and prevent the passage of a tariff bill unless a bill is also passed for at least the free coinaze of the product of American silver mines.” The bulletin declares further that “‘the Republicar committee is fully aware of the plans of the Democratic committee in regard to the legislative fights in certain quarters and is already prepared to defeat them in this regard, as has been dome in the campaign to elect Mr. Bryan.” Abner McKinley, brother of the Repub- lican Presidential candidate, spent the day in Chicago. General Grosvenor of Ohio arriyed in the city to-day and to- night spoke at a big tent-meeting on the south side. General Grosvenor is just back fromw Iowa and is so confident of success in that State that he offered to wager $1000 to $100 with a gentleman from Democratic headquarters, who, however, declined to accept the offer. Regarding the report given out from Repubiican headquarters that the Demo- crats had abandoned the attempt to elect Bryan, and were only striving to control State Legislatures in order to secure the re- turn of silver.Senators, Chairman. Jones of the Democratic National Committee said : “There is not a syllable of truth in the assertion that we have abandoned Bryan or that we intend doing so. Mr. Bryan is already elected; from now on it is only a question of majority. We not only intend to elect Mr. Bryan, but we are sure to carry enough Legislatures to increase the free silver majority in the United States Senate. In this connection I desire to warn the public azainst any statements appearing from this time from the gold- bug press concerning this campaign.” L s TACTICS OF SILVERITES. An Attempt to Shut Out McKinley and Hobart Electors in Colorado, DENVER, Coro., Oct. 5—Cnairman Broad of the Silver Republican party to- day filed with the Secretary of State a protest aguinst granting the Eagle emblem to the McKinley organization or recogniz- ing that political ticket as the Republican party nominees. The purpose of thisis to prevent tlhe McKinley-Hobart electors from appearing on the official ballots in this State. Under the law any political party may apply for admission upon the official ballot by petition, but the time for such action expired last night, and should the ‘protest of Broad be sustained the McKinley ticket cannot appear on the ballots. The fizht will be based upon a construction of the courts upon the action of the Republican State Committee last August, when the split occurred. WHY MR, BRYAN MUST BE BEATEN Ringing Addresses Issued by German- American Republicans. Certain Elements Are Bent on Undermining the Nation's Credit and Honor. GREED OF SILVER PRODUCERS, Citizens. Who Love Their Country Called Upon to Vote for Mc- Kinley and Hobart. NEW YORK, N. Y., Oct. 5.—The advi- sory commiftee of the German-Americans attached to the Republican National Com- mittee issued an address this afternoon. The address is as follows: *“When our country was in danger of being torn asunder by secession a large majority of the citizens, and particularly the German-Americans, stood ready at the instant to sacrifice their lives and all they had for the maintenance of the Union. “To-day certain elements are bent on undermining the honor and credit of our country and in destroying its property; they are aiming to depreciate our stand- ard money, guaranteed by our constitu- tion. To overcome this danger and to remove this disgrace now thréhtening our country all patriotic citizens are again binding themselves together. This dan- ger has been caused by the selfishness of owners of silver mines, who are aiming to find a more extended market for their vastly increased production and to secure for themselves unusual profits. “The distressed condition of business affairs during the past years, which was partly brought about by a change in the tariff, furnished them with a welcome opportunity for influencing public opinion by continued agitation. To champion their cause they succeeded in getting a number of demagogues who, with the aid of the Populistic and socialistic strikers, made themselves masters of the conven- tion and one of the two great political parties. “Through its standard-bearers the party now appeals to thousands who are dis- satisfied with the present condition of life and the opportunities for making a livine. It calls upon those who possess nothing to engage in conflict with those who own property. It keeps up an agita- tion in favor of changing the present standard into free and unlimited coinage of silver in order to surrender the govern- ment of the country into the hands of such an element as threaten to subvert the very foundations on which rest all the interests of the wage-earners and of commerce and agriculture. Furthermore, it tbreate ns, aided by Populistic-anarchis- tic elements, the very foundation of our constitution, public order and the exist~ ence of our Supreme Court. *““No American citizen who loves his country can remain indifferent and ine . active in this campaign, for aside from all ethical considerations there is at stake the interests of the entire country. In view of the importance of thege questions and also of the conceded general intelli- gence of the German-American citizens of this country, we believe that, as at the time when our Union was in danger, so they will now rush to the rescue of cur Nation’s honor and do all in their power to put an end with one decisive blow to all'the dangers now threatening our coun- try. This can be done by voting for the standard-bearers of that party which just came out for the gold standard. By elect- ing McKinley and Hobart the honor of our Nation and the credit of our country will be maintained and all our National institutions permanently secured. By electing these candidates we will not ouly show to our country but to ‘all the world that we are an honesi people and propose to remain so.” NEW TO-DAY. We can make the prices!
