FORT WAYNE, Isp, Oct '21.—The orange insignia of the Republican cause was met 1liam J. Bryan all through Indiana from Richmond to Fort Wayne but he had large audiences at ce where a stop was made, and a greatamount of enthusiasm. created That strongnold of Republicanism, Rich- mond, gave him his welcome to the Hoosier State, and prepared him in a asure for the ‘‘yellow fever,’ as he Ils it, which paturally might be expected to exist in the section through which he passed, which has long been noted for its allegiance to the principles of the Repub- lican party. However, Mr. Bryan had every reason to be gratified with the de- monstration in his honor, for the outpour- ings of people were remarkable in point of numbers and the enthusiasm shown. Between midnight and the time he con- cluded his second speech at Fort Wayne this évening, Mr. Bryan spoke to eighteen audiences. Two speceches were made at Richmond, three more at Fort Wayne and one each at Ciyde, 1 and Bradford Junction, all in Obio the India towns of Cambridge City, Ruskville, castle, Muncie, Anderson, Alexandria, Sum- mitville, Fairmount, Marion and Bluffton. One remarkabie feature of the day was | the unprecedented gathering, for that place, at the meeting he addressed at| Anderson, which was composed of about )00 peop! The Indiana State com- mittee does not intend to make Mr. Bryan work so hard as he did in Ohio, and be- tween Fort Wayne and Terre Haute, the scope of his labors to-morrow, he is duled to speak at sixteen points only. Bryan spent the night at Fort and will start out on the second day of his Indiana campaign at row morning. agnificent demonstration was given van at Rushville.

Bynum ‘had an _engagement to speak late in the day and the friends of the well-known gold leader had dis- tributed h a lavish handa thousands of orange-colored badges inscribed with the names of McKinley and Hobart and *sound money, protection and prosper- y.” the Bryan adherents, to the number of 6000, were gathered at the ball park awaiting his coming, but the streets e.crowded with McKinley peopie, male and female. There had beenrumors that questions would be asked Mr. Bryan at the park, and that trouble was feared between opposing factions was evident from the fact that hundreds of men, whether wearing gold or silver badges, were around with big clubs. A howling crowd of Eryan enthusiasts jollowed close behind the candidate’s four- in-hand as it was driven through the streets, followed by another continzent cheering for McKinley. There was much disorder and the several contingents of seventeen little girls, symbolical in their dress of the money ratio Mr. Bryan wants to establish, were ‘lost in the confusion. But though the vellow was predominant in the streets the 6000 people at the ba 1 park left no doubt as to their sympathies by the inscriptions they bore and by their hearty cheers. A solid mass, every man having the name of Bryan 11nned to his hat, faced ihe nominee as he began his address, in the course of which he said: When I find a man who denounces agitation and tries 10 stop public discussion I finda man who would feel more at home under a monarchy than he does in a republic where laws are made by the people.

[Cheers.] WOULD BE A POPULIST VICTORY. Colonel I/arf;m Says the People’s Party Will Recsive the Credit if Bryan Wins. WASHINGTON, D. C., Oct. 21.—Colonel b. F. Norton of Illinois, who was the can- didate of the middle-of-the-road Populists at the St. Louis convention, has written to Chairman Butler a commication which says in part: However much Populists may have differed 8180 Louis as 1o the correct policy to adopt; how uch some of us may believe that re made, under existing circum- ere s only one course to pursue and thatis to lovally and earnestly support Mr. Bryan—not so much for the sake of elevating Lim to the Presidency as for the purpose of defeating what may be appropristely sna LTI ETIERER ) il The Competitive Drill of the Grand Cantons, L O. O. F., at the Armory, Santa Cruz, October 2§, Witnessed by 3500 People. United States is so much troubled about 1t as the manager of the Republican pa I never realized before how epublicans for this loss of Republican esteem, found in_the fact that s. Cleve- lisle and Palmer have become the legate eof. Our political allies in this campaign may not heve treated us as fairly and justly as they ougnt in the matter of representation of Vice- Presidentizl electors, aud this seems to be the chief cause of complaint, for I have yet to ever, of reform principles that the reformers them- selves have chosen in the last twenty years. Itis an event in histors to find a man backed by more than 4,000,000 votes who has the patriotism and courage to stand up faced by the combined and battle-worn flag of reform that the old guard has held aloft bravely and citude as to the outcome may be excus- able. But let us not be uunecessarily alarmed about the future of the reform movement. It has passed the danger point. It is capabie of taking care of itsell under any and ail tances. Traitors cannot betray it; time- servers cannot sell it out; injudiciotis friends cannot destroy it; defeat cannot demoral its opponents, However powerfuland craf; 10t crush it; even the gates of heil cannot prevail against it. 2 For twenty years, although subjected to all the dengerous pitialls, perils and quicksands incident (o the development of a new party, it has grown to be the greatest factor in the arena of American poiitics to-day. And if elected 1 beiieve that Mr. brsan will not be slow to recognize this fact and that he will soon iearn to rely mpon the counsel and sup- port of the new party which has revolution- ized the poiitics of the country, forced | to the front new and vital issues and mnde it possible for the people, instead of office- secking politicians, to place & champion of vrogressive ideas at the head of the Govern- ment. I believe that he will appreciate the his haud, not only the selfish hopes and patri- otic aspirations of the People’s party, but the most sacred cause that was ever intrusted to Living man, and that he will not beiray the trust. In conclusion let me say that if my twenty ars of work entitles me to the confidence of co-workers, let me ask them to lay aside v other consideration and help Mr. Bry: tior his sake, but the sake of the princi- which we all hold sacred and dear. If Success is achieved the Populist party can never be denied the glory of the victory. If defeat awaits us and our standarc-bearer falls, let there be no Populist_arrows. found in_his breast or in his back. Let the responsibility rest on other shoulders than our own. g% < CERTAIN FUR McKINLEYX. vl Good News From the Dakotas, Kansas and Nebrasia. CHICAGO, Irn, Oct. 2L—Committee- man Payne said to-day that the mail re- ceived at Republican National headquar- ters from the Dakotas, Nebraska and Kansas contained reports which proved beyond doubt in his mind that those States would give substantial majorities for McKinley, showing that he was right in adding those States to the sure column and- thus sustaining Chairman Hanna's claim of over 300 electoral votes. Senator Allison came in from Iowa on his way to Indiana. He spoke in Indian- apolis to-night, and goes to Jacksonville, Iit, to-morrow. The Senator will deliver an address at Minneapolis on October 29, and will close the campaign in. hisown State. His confidence in a bie majority for McKinley in Iowa is unshaken. Mr. Hanna, when he read the letter claimed to have been written General Welles by Major McKinley in regard to the Sigourney pension, declared it to be a forgery. He said the letter carried on its face the fact that it was not gennine, because it was direcily opposed to McKir ley's record on pensions during his publie career. Besides, it was eyident that the letter was never written by the major, because at the time it was alleged to have teen sent, Major McKinley signed himself William McKinley, Jr., while the alleged letter omitted the junior. S S VOORHEES FOit BRYAN. The Tall Sycamore of the Wabash De- fines His Position. TERRE HAUTE, Ixp.,Oct. 21.—Senator Voorliees, who has heretofore declined to give public utterance to his views on the issues of the Presidential campaign, co- day sent the following to the chairman of the county committee, who has in charge the arrangement for the Bryan meetings to-morrow: Dear Sir: Permit me to_express the deep re- gret and sorrow I feel at being unable 1o par. ticipate in the great welcome to be extended by our people to-morrow night to Mr. Bryan, the able and gifted Demc- cratic candidate for the Presidency. He has shown himself worthy of ali the honors that can be given by the American people. He will carry Indiana, he wili bs Clecied, and the laboring and producing classes will thereby be vastly aided m return- ing to prosperity and happiness.

The Ex-President Addresses Enthusiastic Multitudes at Many Places in His Own State. INDIANAPOLIS, Ixp, Oct. 21.—Gen- eral Harrison, upon his arrival home this evenming, seemed but little fatigued and | was in the best of spirits. The Republican | leaders who accompanied him on his In- | diana tour exprested gratification over the day’s journey. Larce crowds greeted the ex-President all along the route. His spe- | cial train went into New Alpoany at'9 o’clock this morning from Evansville | amid the tremendous tooting of whistles | and firing of cannon. | _ Thestreet leading from the Air Line to Scribner’s Park was packed with people to such a degree that it was difficult to force & way through it for the carriages of he distinguished speaker and party. When he appeared from the rear of his car he was greeted with loud cheers. It took time to get him to the park, and | more' time alter he had arrived there to force a passage through the dense throng tothe stand. The crowd had been con- tributed to by Louisville and points north ana was estimated at from 20,000 to 25.000 veople. General Harrison addressed him- | self first to the workingmen, of *whom the orowd was largely composed, explaining | that they were the first to suffer from a | depreciated dollar, and they had already | suifered enough from low tariff. After the speech General Harrison was | driven to the Monon station, where his car | was awaiting him. The next stop was at the little town of Borden, where something over 1000 farm- ers had gathered, anc, as at all country stops, there was a profusion of gold in the decorations and uniforms. At Salem, the county-seat of the sparsely settied agricultural county of Washington, a stop o;l; nearly an hour was made. The | gathering surpassed anything Salem has ever seen, estimated at about 10,000, who had gathered irom Washington and adja- cent counties, escorted by a company of cavalry. At Bedford, the great center of the In- diana stone industry, was the most re- markable demonstration that was met during the day. There was not less than 25,000 people on hand. The crowd was so great that it was almost impossible to talk to it, and not a quarter of the people counld get within hearing distance. At Greencastle, the last stop scheduled for the day, about 5000 people were found wedeed in the space about the devot, and General Harrison spoke from the rear vlatform. It was already dark and nis speech was very brief, The party took supper in the car after leaving there, ana the run to Indianapolis was made without further incident. R 2 oy THEIKE GARB TOO SCANTY. Citizens of Cambridge Complain of the Harvard Athlotes. CAMBRIDGE, Mass, Oct. 2L — Re- peated complaints are coming to the Cam- bridge police akout the costumes, or rather the lack of costumes of the Harvard ath- letes who every afternoon run through the streets of Cambridge for exercise. Two years ago similar complaints were made, and the result was that thecaptains of the various teams united in a circular letter asking the candidates to wear more clothing while exercising, but the clothing has teen getting less and less, and again the inhabitants of Cambridge have asked the police authorities to take immediate action. They say they do not mind merely having. the students run in the streets with their tight fitting running trunks and no stockings at all, but they do object to having their daughters walk- ing around with men in such costumes. 1t is thought that the faculty will issue an edict on the subject svon. FaRtl 20M WFATSON'S POSITION, “I Am in the Fight and I'm Going to Stay There.”’ BIRMINGHAM, Ara., Oct. 21.—Tom ‘Watson spoke at Capitol Park in this city to-night to an audience of about 2500, He was attentively heard and. frequently cheered. Mr. Watson made it very plain that he did not intend to come down. He said : “1 am in the fight and I am going to stay there. My word of honor is out and no threats will make me furl the flag of my party. It I were to come down my people would go farther away. They would either stay at home or vote for Mec- Kinley. If 1 were to come down my friends would feel that their party had de- ceived them and Mr. Bryan’s campaign would collapse in Oregon and Nortn Da- kota. My coming down would also throw both Illinois and Indiana to McKinley.” Mr. Watson left to-nignt for Gadsden, ~. | where he speaks to-morrow. 5 S Georgia Populists in a Quandary. ATLANTA, Ga., Oct. 21.—Tt is reported that the Populists will withdraw their electoral ticket.

Alaska Explorer Dyche Brings From the Yakutat Country a Valuable Curio. SEATTLE, Wasn., Oct. 21.—Professor Lewis Lindsay Dyche, the noted Green- land walrus hunter, naturalist and profes- sor in the University of Kansas, has just returned after a summer in hunting and exploration in the wilds of Alaska. He was so successfui and interested in the natural history field presented in Alaska that he intends to organize a well- equipped expedition and return to the far North, probably in the summer of 1898. This year ne proceeded to Cook’s Inlet, and after some explorations he made his permanent camp at the head of that curi- ous arm of the sea—that is, at the point where the Kuik and the Madenuska rivers join and enter the inlet together. Thisis the place chosen the past summer by the Alaska Commercial Comgany for its trad- ing post, which is in charge of a man named Creasing. He had formerly been located fifty miles further towurd the sea and then his post was 125 miles beyond Tyoonic, the prac- tical head of navigation on the inlet. The new 8ite of this post was chosen for the purpose of trading with the Copper River Indians, who come down the Kuils and Madenuska rivers periodically to trade. At this place Dyche succeeded in making a fine collection of the materials he was in search of, and also in adding a number to his already long list of adventures. Dyche explored the Kuik River to its source, thirty miles, with the aid of a crew of hardy natives. “It took two weeks to go up and two minutes to come down,” said the professor. He obtained forty-two specimens of the new mountain sheep, Orvus dalli; twelve large moose heads, three caribou heads, six young sea otters, mice, birds and other, interesting forms, including a quantity of ethnolog- ical materials and 200 photographs. He was the first man permitted to photoeraph Princess Tom, the famous Yakatat Prin- cess, who is wealthier than any other Alaskan native. She has $15,000 in gold buried, and wears on her arms $200 in gold pieces ham- mered into bracelets. Sne is. 65 years old and is living with ber fifth husband, who is 20 yearsof age and whom she pur- chased from his parents for 500 blankets. The Tlinkit women are masters of their households. In talking of Alaska, Dyche concluded : “That country is full of glaciers slowly tearing down rocks, the rivers are vomit- ing out quantities of quicksands, the mountains are smoking, earthquakes are frequent and the coal is soft. In fact, the country 1s only half made. Leave italone for a few centuries and it will be a good country. —— Suspect McCarthy Arraigned. LOS ANGELES, CaAL, Oct. 21.—J. J. McCarthy, lately arrested in San Fran- cisco, who is accused of assisting Fred L.

He was given until Saturday morning to plead. e Shipments From Healdsburg. HEALDSBURG, CAL., Oct. 21.—Sixteen carloads of canned goods were sent East from this city to-day.

HAS NOT SINCE BEEN SEEN, The Vigilantes Said to Posssss Evi- dence to Prove Their Victim’s Dishonesty. MEDFORD, Oz., Oct. 21.—The residents of Sams Valley, a settlement north of here, are greatly excited over a whitecap- ping episode that occurred there last Saturday. An old settler of the place was the victim. He has since been missing and is believed to have been driven from the country. About fifteen or twenty masked men rode up to the residence of Mrs. Maty Vincent in S8ams Valley. They asked if J. L. Adams was there. Upon being in- formed that he was they requested that he come out. He complied, and was told in the presence of Mrs. Vincent that he had better prepare to die, as they were tired of the trouble he had bzen causing in the neighborhood and it was their inten- tion to nang him. He remonstrated so pitifully that be was given histhoice of either leaving the State or suffering death at the end of a rope. Mrs. Vincent, who is a well-respected woman, was a witness to all that took place. Shesays that the men put Adams intoa buggy and drove off, since which time ncthing has been seen of him. Adams is a man well alone in years and has but one arm. He isquite well known in this county, having been engaged inthe book canvassing business for a number of years. The matter has been laid before the Presecuting Attorney and an investi- gation will be made. Advices from Sams Valley, reaching here this evening, are that the whitecaps are reputable men, who are in possession of facts which stamp Adams as a very dan- gerous man, Itisvery likely that arrests will be made to-morrow, when the story prompting ‘his summary expulsion may be disclosed. ARRESTED AT CORONADO. Vice-President of a Defunct Ohio Bank Accused of Having Falsified Returns to the Comptroller. SAN DIEGO, Carn, Oct. 21.—Jefferson L. Watkins, late vice-president and head bookkeeper of the collapsed Farmers' National Bank at Portsmouth, Ohio, was arrested this evening at Coronado by Unitea States Deputy Marshal W. J. Oakes of Los Angeles, Walkins is charged with rendering false reports of the bank's con- dition to the Comptroller of the Currency. The bank failed last January, and Wat- kinsturned over about $100,000 worth of his property to satisfy his creditors, but since that ume the Federal Grand Jury has been at work, and it has returaed an indictment against him on forty-two counts. ‘Watkins came to Coronado with his wife and two daughters six months ago and leased a cottage. He is about 60 years of age and very ill, so that it is not likely that he will live to go through the trial. He was sitting on the porch of his cottage when the officer served the papers. He was completely prostrated by the sudden turn of affairs and is now in bed. Tha officer put a guard over him and came over to this side, placing the papers before United States Commissioner Knoles, who fixed the bail at’$30,000. Mrs. Watkins wired to Ler son in Ports- mouth to see Garland Cleveland, Federal District Attorney at Cincinnati, and ar- range for bail. Marshal Oakes says that if bail is not forthcoming he will have to send an ambulance for Watkins and piace him in jail, though he believes it will prove fatal to the prisoner. The Government examiner founa that another official of the bank besides Wat- kins was implicated, and so notified the authorities, who have been shadowing the man. He was not to be arrested, how- ever, uniil Watkins had been captured, so Marshal Oakes notified the Cincinnati people immediately of his success and no doubt the other man is now in custody. Both of the danghters of Watkins have reached their majority. One of them told Marshal Oakes that her father was penni- less, having turned over his entire fortune to the creditors of the bank. _The cottage at Coronado, she said, was given to them rent free by a friend. The failure of the bank causea widespread dis- aster at Portsmouth, and Watkins’ fortune was no. enough to stem the tide. It is said that circumstances show that Wat- kins was led into falsifving the reports in order to shield others in the bank, and | that he personally was not guilty of rob- bery. SR LIVELY CHASE AT FRESNO. Crozy Tramp Captured While Trying to Get' Away With a Southern Pacific Ticket. FRESNO, CaL, Oct. 2L.—A man ap- peared at the window of the local ticket office of the Southern Pacific at 8 o’clock this morning and asked Agent Avila fora ticket to Los Angeles. The agent stampea a ticket and gave it to the applicant, ex- pecting that he would pay for it. Instead the man handed Avila a slip of paper on which was scribbled the following: C. P. Huntington: T got & ticket to Los An- geles from your Fresno agent. This mukes us | even for the time I left Aibany for San Kran- cisco, when you beat me out of $8. T. M, BARNESS. The man then ran out of the depot and Agent Avila gave chase. He wanted the ticket back, as he would be held responsi- ble for 1t. He did not consider that Barness’ written explanation would be satisfactory to Collis. Policeman Clifton joined in the pursuit and Barness was captured at the park. He retused to give up the ticket ani was taken to jail, where he was compelled to let Avila have it. Barness is undoubtedly unbaianced mentally. He is a typical hobo. He says that he purchased a ticket from Albany, Or., to San Francisco about three years ‘ago and paid $16 for it.” He asked the agent for the cheapest fare, which was $8, but this was refused him. He was thereby beaten out of $8, he claims, and this morn- ing he conceived the idea of getting even. Betore the ticket episode Barness went into the depot hotel and orderea a 40-cent breakfast. He devoured it ravenously, but when asked to pay for it he offered only 10 cents. He was impudent and walked out of the dining-room. ek gy STOCKTUN PIONEEE DEAD. Heart Disease Causes the Sudden Demise of Otis Perrin. STOCKTON, Carn, Oct. 21.—Otis Perrin, a pioneer of this city, died suddenly this forenoor from heart discase. He came 10 California in 1849 and engaged in mining. Later he represented Tuolumne County in the Legislature.

SAN DIEGO, Car., Oct. 21.—A man with a bundle in his arms knocked at the door of Mrs. King's sanitarium; at Union and A stree'’s, eariy last night, and before the woman realized the - situation he placed the bundle in her bands. He then hastily entered a2 hack and the horses were whipped into a gallop. The bundie contained 8 girl baby not more than an hour old. The officers are unable to locate either of the parents, and the hack- driver, George Knowles, refuses to talk. The baby will be given over to the Day Nursery.

TACOMA, Wasw, Oct. 2L—A sensa- tion was caused in religious circles to-day by the commencement of the erection of a bicycle rack in the First Free Church. Rev. Alfred William Martin, the pastor, openly countenances the use of wheels on Sundays and says there is no objections to his people riding to church. Other preachers are against the innovation and announce that they will take a public stand against it. This is the first church in the northwest to establish this feature. NEW.
