One of the pleasing features of the move- ment is the fact that the Women’s Annex of the National Republican League has arranged an entertainment and dance for the berefit of the parade fund. It will be given at the Pioneer building, 24 Fourth sureet, to-night. Tickets will be sold for 50 cents. There will be considerable talent in the entertainment. Henry Larsen and Alired ‘Wilkie are amone the artists who will entertain the people. Colonel George Stone, president of the Union League Club and grand marshal of the great industrial parade to take place nexi Saturday, bas every assurance that many uniformed clubs from Oaskland, Sacramento, San Jose and o'her cities will join the vast marching column. Speak- ing of the parade last evening he said: *‘This demonstration is at the suzges- tion of the Republican State Central Com- mittee, and the spirit of co-operation al- ready manifested assures a success far be- yond oar first anticipations. I am already in receipt of inquiries by telephone and telegraph from interior cities asking for the excursion rate and assuring me that if it is cut down low many uniformed clubs will join the great column in San Francisco. We shall surely have a great day, and the first thing to be done to-day is to have the railroad committee of the parade and the agents of the various rail- road and steamboat lines converging in the City arrange to give us a low rate. “I am sure that the managers of the North Pacific Coast, the San Francisco and North Pacific, the Southern Pacific and the Valley Road will join in efforts to bring a greater multitude to San Fran- cisco than ever before visited the Cit Ti:e uniformed clubs of Sacramento, Oal land and San Jose will vie with the seven- teen uniformed marching clubs of San Francisco in presenting a fine appearance. The two uniformed clubs of Sacramento— the McKinley League and the Capital City Club—may muke an exceptionally fine display. Everybody knows what the Alliance of Oakland can do when that club is pat in line. “It was the idea of the Republican State Central Committee,” said Colonel Stone, “'that the column on parade should repre- seut the business men and the laboring men of San, Francisco. Every indication now poiuts to a vast representation. The entervrise grows as the plan progresses, “No, I have not yet fixed definitely on the iccality of formation or on the exact line of march, but there will be but little delay in this metter. The route will be announced in ample time, so that patriotic residents and business men on the line may introduce special features of decora- tion. The Republican National Commit- tee has requested a general display of the National flag in all parts of the Union on that day, October 31: and, while all may observe this recommendation, the people of San Francisco may go further and make a beautiful display of patriotic decorations in honer of the event.” The interest manifested in the event is so absorbing that excursions will come irom all the interior towns. Invitations have already gone out to the ciubs of Oak- land, Alameds, Berkeley, Sausalito, San Jose, Santa Rosa, San Rafael, Petaluma, Redwood City and other places in this im- mediate vicinity. A very low railroad rate would bring organizations from Stockton, Fresno and ihe San Joaguin Valley region. In business circles the parade is dis- ussed with eager interest. Stores and places of business will be closed next Saturday. The general sentiment is in favor of making a day of the demonstra- tion. The industrial fzatures of the parade will lend renewed interest to the occasion. Already business men are selecting their marching pariners. Evan J. Coleman, who marched with Dr. Gwin on the occasion of the Hancock parade and again with him on the occasion of the Garfield funeral, will this time march with Uncle George T. Bromley. Dr. Gwin was 75 years old when he marched over the cobbles. Like Oliver Wendell Holmes, Uncie George is 80 vears young. When the Republican State Central Committee advised the parade to wind up with an evening demonstration in honor of Tom Reed, calculations were made that 100,000 thousand people would review the marching column. Since the idea was first Introduced the plan has attained such a measare of popular support and patriotic impulse that it is now believed 200,000 people willline the streets and cheer the marching column. Obviously the uniformed ciubs, under the eye of so much assembled beauty, and under the gaze of so many admiring friends, will seek to rival each other in style and precision of movement. The grand marshal is exceedingly anxious that ail clubs from the City and surrounding country that desire to partic- ipate should adwvise him at the earliest . H. Umbsen, H.P. Eubanks, signment to the various divisions, no | delay should occur in apprising the grand gnarshal. There will be a meeting of the parad® committee to-day at 24 Fourth street. - ——— OAKLAND WILL BE HERE. The Famous Alllance WIll Margh In the Great Parade. OAKLAND, Can., Oct. 25.—This city will be well represented in San Francisco next Saturday on the occasion of the great Republican demonstration. There has uot yet been any arrangement of the de- tails, but whatever is to be done will be decided upon Monday or Tuesday. On the Mondsy following the San Francisco parade Congressman Reed is to be in this city and a grand demonstration is being prepared, with floats and all variety of novelties, and this will, of course, deter this city from doing as much in the direc- tion of display as would otherwise have | been attempted. There will, however, be several uniformed clubs on parade and hundreds of citizens in the march. Varney W. Gaskill, commander of the Republican Alliance, who has been ap- pointed grand marshal of the local parade, is also working for the San Francisco demonstration. *Oakland will have a good showing across the bay,” he said to- | night, *‘and, of course, we shall be there.” | The “'we’ referred to by him is the Alliance. “ Everything and evérybody that we can get into line will go across | to San Francisco for the night parade, but | Ido not know just what we may do in the | day parade. I] think all the uniformed | clubs will go, and the Sound Money League |and a large representation of business men."” | Major Bromwell says that Qakland is | going to send San Francisco a big show, | and in return expects that the bigger city | will send the cream of her Republican clubs to Oakland on Monday night. *Of course, we are busy laying our plans for the eve of election,” said the ma jor, ‘'but that will not stop us from going to San Francisco next Saturday. I cannot say at this time whether the business men will arrange some trades demonstra- | tion for Saturday afternoon, but I have no | doubt they will be communicated with by the San Francisco committee to-morrow and will then decide on their plans.”’ —————————— BERKELEY FOR THE RALLY. The College Town WIIl Send Hun- dreds to the Parade, BERKELEY, Car., Oct. 25.—The Re- publicans of Berkeley are highly enthu- siastic over the grand parade of McKin- leyites to be held next Saturday afternoon in San Francisco. A large number of the leading local representatives of the party were interviewed to-day with the aim of obtaini heir views as to what the great demonstration would mean to Repub- | licans, and they agreed to a man that it | will be = fitting climax to a well-fought campaign. Professors, private citizens, local business men and students are of one | voice in their support of the place for the | monster parade of Republicans from around the bay, and the indications are very favorable that a delegation of no less | than 400 will turn out from Berkeley | alone. The McKinley League, the East Berkeiey Republican Club, the West | Berkeley Republican Club, the Lorin Re: | publican Club and the Studeats’ Republi- | can Club will hoid meetings during tbe week to take formal action in the matter of sending delegations. The Berkeley | Republican Club will meet to-morrow | evening to discuss the matter. | _Josepb McClain, president of the Mc- | Kinley League, saic to-night: | “Wanile I do not speak for the club, as | that organization will take formal action of its own, I can say that as an individual | Tam willing to close my place of business and take an active part in the demonstra- tion. I believe that all the business men Berkeley who are Republicans shouid | be willing to do likewise.” | William Lair Hill, president of the Berkeiey Republican Club—Everything that will tend to advance the cause of | McKinleyism should be continued to be done until the very last hour of the cam- paign. The proposed demonstration will, | without a doubt, be conductve of much | good. The question of sending a delega- tion will be formally brought to the at- tention of our league ina day orso. I feel quite certain that they will support the | movement. | Howard E. Wright, Republican nomi- | nee for Assemblyman—I believe that a | movement of the kind proposed will be productive of great good. It will tend to induce the men on the fence to clib down on the side of Republicanism. I | intend taking an active part myself, and will induce as many others to do so as possible, Joseph L. Scotchler, chairman of the County Central Committee in 1888—I am in favor of doing everything possible to keep the people in hine until Noyember 3. We have a big lot of good Republicansin Berkeley, and I am confident that many will turn _out on Saturday. Of the 2000 | voters in Berkeley 1 betieve that at least 1300 will cast the Republican ticket next month. £ James Palache—If I were physically | able, which unfortunately I am not, it | would be my greatest desire to fall into | line and march with the rest of the loyai | Republicans. I do not wish to see the | matter of a big celebration attempted and | result in a failure, but I feel quite certain | that the proposed demonstration for Saturday afternoon will meet with the greatest success. | F. M. Wilson—I am heartily in favor of | he'idea of giving a big celebration just | before election. I will be there and do | what Ican to make it & success. Robert Edgar—Such a turnout of Repub- ! licans as is proposed can be nothing else but beneficial to the party. It will serve as a fitting climax to the long and hard- fought campaign. Colonel Ayers — Every Republican in | Berkeley should lay aside his business for that afternoon and join in the big cele- bration in San Francisco. That McKin- | ley will be our next President there is no doubt, but geiting into good humor before election day will do us no harm. J. K. Steuart—We must all do every- thing we can to make the San Francisco | celebration a sucecess. All the Repablican | clubs about the bay should be repre- sented. Captain Morrison—The work for McKin- ley should be kegz up till the very last— the grandest celebration of the campaign 'should be held just before election day, and | next Saturday afternoon seems to be the most fittin« time _for this. | _ H. D. Kelsey—The idea is a good one. | Itis not that we need to have such a cele- bration, but it will be well for us 10 gat | into line together at least once before elec- tion for the satisfaction of seeing what an army we can turn out, if for nothing more. George L. Stricker—The parade will be | a good thing. All Alameda County shoula be represented. Berkeley is especially | strong in Republicanism this year. R FROM INTERIOR POINTS. Large Representations Will March in the Great Parade. BAN JOSE, Can., Oct. 25.—There is a movement here to get up oneof the largest excursions that ever left this city to attend | the Republican demonstration at San Fran- cisco Saturday afternoon. All the Repub- lican organizations here are interested and will send strong delegations if nego- tiations now in_process are conciuded fa- vorably. Dr. D. ¥. McGraw, president of the County Republican League, stated | this evening that he had received for the league and McKinley Battalion an invita- tion to participate in the parade. Thein- vitation came from Colonel George Sipne and would be acted upon ata meeting of the league. Individually most of the members have already signified an inten- tion of attending the demonstration and there will be a large delegation of the County Republican Club. Commander F. Morrison of the McKin- ley battalion, is making preparations for that organization to attend the demon- possible time, Inorder to make the as- | stration. They have been invited to be the guests of the Plumed Knights of San Francisco. The battalion, it is prom: will be in line at least eighty-four strong. 1f satisfactory rates are secured it is ex- pected that not less than 2000 persons from San Jose will attend the demonstra- tion. Many Republicans hel} express a desire to reciprocate for the fine attend- ance of uniformed clubs from San Fran- cisco in the parade here last evening. STOCKTON. CAL, Oct. 25.—Chairman Nelson of the Republican County Central Committee to-night said that the mem- bers of the McKinley Club of this city are now considering the question of going in a body to participate in the big parade in San Francisco next Saturday. The club and all the members of the County Com- mittee are busy arranging for the recep- tion to and the address of Speaker Tom Reed, and after that event the will arrange to participate in the San Francisco dem- onstration. If it is possiple the local Republican club will go in a body, but if this arrange- ment cannot be made numbers will go anyway, together with many leading Re- publicans of this city not members of the club. Chairman Nelson is sanguine over the outlook in this county. He said to- night the prospect for the success of Me- Kinley and protection was brightér than at any time during the campaign. SANTA CRUZ, CarL, Oct. %.—1’& a cheap rate can be arranged between Here and San Francisco the Republicans of Santa Cruz will send a stronz delegation to take partin the day parade next Satur- day.

ISTOR AT THE THRDTILE An Engineer Surprised by His Request to Handle the Locomotive. But the Distinguished John Jacob Knew the Business and Runs a Mile a Minute. LOUISVILLE, Ky., Oct. 25.—John Jacob Astor was one of the pariy of Illinois Central directors who came to Louisville yesterday on an inspection visit. Heisa practical mechanical engineer, as well as an author and social engineer. When the train reached Fulton, Ky., yesterday morn- ing he remarked to one of the party, “I guess I'll take a ride on the engige. I know it's dirty, but I've been there be- He climbed into the cab and when his al! form, topped with an extremely Eng- lish white hat, appeared in the cab, the engineer was surprised. “Now, let’s see you run the machine,” said Mr. Astor to the engineer and the fireman opened the door of the furnace and began to shove! in the coal. The en- gine increased its speed at every foot. The engineer threw open the throttle, and the engine sped along like a thing frightened. Mr. Astor made two or three motions as if to take hold of the lever, but desisted. Finally he said to the engineer, “Lend me your cap.”’ “8ir?” answered the engineer with a look of surprise. “Lend me your cap. engine,’”’ he rephed. *“What?” exclaimed the surprised en- gineer. “I want to run this engine,” declared Mr. Astor, with a look of determination on his face. ¥ “But you'll run it off the track,” sug- gested the engineer, fearfully. “I never did before,” answered the well- dressed passenger, and with that he took his place at the front end of the cab, with the grimy cap of the engineer pulled over his eyes. and his hand on the lever. He handed his hat to the engineer, who in a fit of absent-mindedness placed it on his head. “I’ll take half his money and trade places with him,"” remarked the engineer to the fireman under his breath. Mr. Astor opened the throttle until the train made sixty miles an hour. Mr. Astor sat on the engine until it rolled into Horse Cave. He thanked the engineer for the experience. took his hatand joined his party in the coaches. —_— FIRE AMONG THZ LUMBER. Heary Damage Sustained by the Central Company of Milwawk SAGINAW, Mich., Oct. 25.—Fire broke out at 6 o’clock this evening in the Inmber piles on the premises of the Central Lum- ber Company at Milwaukee, six miles be- low this city, and spread rapidly. The lumber covered fwenty acres and was the choicest to be found in the valléy. The mill and boarding-house were saved, but four dwellings and six drillhouses were burned in addition to the lumber. The latter is insured for $90,000. Help was asked from the bay cities Saginaw and Carroliton. The total damage is estimated at §150,000 on the lumber and $25,000 on other property. I want to run this Wheat Production. WASHINGTON, D. C., Oct. 25.—The sectiou of foreign markets of the Depart- ment of Agriculture will issue to-morrow its circular No. 10 on the course of wheat production and exportation in{Qe United States, Canada, Argentina, Uruguay, Rus- s1a and British India from 1880 101895. It shows the average annual product of wheat by quinquennial periods, and the very decided increase in the wheat pro- duction of the United States, Canada, Ar- gentina and Russia doring the last fifteen years. A similar growth would also be shown for Urueuay . were the statistics available for the entire period. India alone of the six countries has suffered a decline. ISR Protest Against Baines’ Law. NEW YORK, N. Y. Oct. 25.—The Brooklyn Probibition League held a cam- paign meeting this evening to protest against the Raines law, which that party claims is defeating the radical object of the Prohibition party in the metropolis.

JACKSONVILLE, Irn, Oct. 25.—All church-going Jacksonville turned out this morning to see Mr. and Mrs. W.J. Bryan, and during most of the day the residence of Dr. Hiram K. Jones, where they are stopping, was surrounded by curious peo- ple. Itwas in this old educational town that Mr. Bryan spent six years of his life as a student, two at Whipple Academy, and the rest at the Illinois State College. Mrs. Bryan, too, was a pupil at the Jack- sonville Female Academy, and the ac- quaintance which culminated in their marriage began here. The candidate and his wife naturally anticipated a pleasant stay in such.familiar environments. and they spent a delightful Sunday, meeting old friends and talking with them over their college days. . Aithough Mr. and Mrs. Bryan did not réach Jacksonviile until nearly 2 o’clock this morning, after a run through the night over the Burlington road from Quincey, many people had waited up too see them and to cheer the candidate. Little rest was allowed the nominee in that fast ride. He was awakened twice—the first time to make a midnight speech to a big audi- ence of torch-bearers and shouters at Bluffs, and again at Mount Sterling, where neither the lateness of the hour nor the fact that it was Sunday could stay the enthusiasm of the Bryanites there. The Jacksonville people who awaited the ar- rival of their former townsman were dis- appointed, for Mr. Bryan remaioed in his berth and did not leave the train until nearly 9 o’clock this morning. With Mrs. Bryan he went to the house of Dr. Jones 2nd later in the forencon attendea divine service at the State-street Presbyterian Church, where the pastor, Rev. A. M. Morey, preached a sermon that had noth- ing in it about silver or gold. The church was crowded to the doors. A number of small boys and some others who were not so small, all wearing strins of yellow rib- bon, followed Mr.and Mrs. Bryan from their carriage into the building and gave a suppressed hurrah for McKinley. Four houses of worsbip, including that attended by Mr. and Mrs. Bryan, oecuzy the four corners of the streets, and the congregations of ‘all of these were dis- missed within a few minutes of each other, so that with.the 500 or more who had been waiting outside for the two most interesting persons in Jacksonville to ap- pear, State-street Prespbyterian Church blage as the canuidate and bis wife hur- riedly made their way to a waiting car- riage and were driven back to the resi- dence of their host. Mr. Bryan sleot part of the da{ and the rest of his spare time received old friends. ‘When he went out at dusk, accompanied by Mrs. Bryan, to tea with F. Dunlap, a Jacksonville banker, with whom he had been associated in local politics while a resident here, Dr. jones’ house was the center of interest for severai hundred peo- Ele here, many of them in carriages, who ad waited patiently for a long time to see the Democratic nominee. To-morrow morning Mr. Bryan will visit the State College and probably talk to the students about the time when he was an undergraduate. In the afternoon he will make a speech in the public en- closure known as ‘‘the square,” and at 5 o’clock will leave on his special train for Alton. Many farmers drove into town to- night, and the chances are that with ex- pected excursionists to augment the Jack- sonville veople who want to hear Mr. Bryan, one of the biggest crowds that ever gathered in this town of colleges will attend the political meeting in honor of the Democratic candidate. FOR BRXA AND SILVER. Brown, the Political Acrobat, Indorses the Chicago Platforr. LINCOLN, Nesr., Oct. 25.—Hon. E. E. Brown, a prominent local banker and business man, has given out a letter in which he strongly indorses the Chicago platform and candidates. Mr. Brown was atone time a Republican member of the Legislature. Changing to Democracy last Spring, Mr. Brown acted as chairman of the silver notification meeting held in this city early in September. In his statement Mr. Brown says that all of our National bonds are payable in coin—silver as well as gold—and quotes Congressional resolutions to show that aathority to issue gold bonds has twice been refused by Congress. Referring to President Cleveland’s special message to Congress n January, 1895, ing the right to issue gold bonds, Mr. Brown says: “This request on the part of the Presi- dent was referred to the Committee on ‘W ays and Means, a majority of which re- ported in favor of conterring the right. A minority report was drawn and presented by W. J. Bryan, Democratic candidate for the Presidency. After full discussion and mature deliberation the minority report was adopted and the right to issue gold bonds was denied.” Discussing National honor as an 1ssue of the campaign, Mr. Brown declares it to be his view that “National honor would be equally impaired by yielding to an unjust demand as it would in failing to comply with a just one.” Mr. ‘Brown quotes speeches from the late General John A. Logan and Senator Thurston of Nebraska, delivered at various times in the past favoring free coinage, and concludes with a declaration of fealty to Mr. Bryan and silver.

So Says Rev. Mr. Foster of New York's Third Reformed Presbyterian Church. NEW YORK, N.Y., Oct. 25.—1In his ser- mon to-day Rev. F. M. Foster of the 1hird Reformed Presbyterian Church in West Twenty-third street said that as the con- stitution of the United States did not rec- ognize God in 1t all citizens loyal to Christ were debarred from voting. “It is the duty of the Christians to re- fuse to swearallegiance to the constitution of a government which does not recognize the authority of Almighty God,” said he. Mr. Foster said that the laws of God are broken every Sunday by the Government, and as an example he stated: “The Gov- ernment will admit into the service of the Postoffice Department only those who will swear that they will violate the fourth commandment and keep the office open on the holy day. The candidate for office must, according to the constitution, swear that he will uphold the laws which con- tradict the laws of God. The Christian loyal to Christ cannot take such an oath, or, if he does, he becomes a sharer in ail the wickedness which is fostered and pro- tected by this Government. As all candi- dates must take this oatn, the Christian citizen 1s debarred from voting on the principle that he cannot ask another what he might not do himself. “The Christian citizen cannot vote be- cause the constitution does not require God’s qualifications for official trust. Moral qualifications are required in the office bearer.” The Rev. Mr. Foster said after the ser- mon that none of his congregation would vote on election day. GRAND OPERA IN GOTHAM Opening of the Season by Colonel Mapleson at the Academy of Music. Many New Artists and Some Charm- ing Vocalists to Delight the New Yorkers. . NEW YORK, N. Y., Oct. 25.—A notable event in the annals of grand opera will be the opening of the season by Colonel Mapleson at the Academy of Music to- morrow night. The auditorinm has un- dergone a general overhauling, The pros- cenium boxes are there still, but the grand tier which was the social glory of the house is gone. Those boxes and the mez- zanine row have been cut out and chairs put in their places. Infacttheinterior has been transformed to the old-time appear- ance. With the exception of Andrea Chenier there will be no great operatic novelties presented, but there are a godd many new artists, among them- some charming vocalists. They are new to New Yorkers, “but,” says Colonel Mapleson, ‘'so were Nilsson, Gerster and others when I introduced them.” Speaking of Gerster the colonel said; “She sings as charmingly as ever. I heard her sing the ‘Ah non credea’ with all the old-time tenderness snd sym- pathy, all the exquisite pathos of old, and the ‘Ah non giunge’ with as much bril- liancy as in her best days, not a note slurred, not a bit of fioriture omitted. Her voice in every particular but oneis everything it once was. It lacks volume. It is like a distant echo; it sounds as though the singer were miles away—as though the voice came from a phono- graph—clear, sweet, perfect, brilliant in execution, but dimihished; the same effect, I might say, that is produced visually by looking at the stage throfigh the wrong end of an opera glass. She intends to de- vote her life to teaching. She seems to be in good health and in gpod spirits.”” From the present outlook the season is bound to be a success. co g PROTEST AGAINST CRUELTIES. Indignation Meeting of the Irish National Amnesty Association at New York. NEW YORK, N. Y,, Oct. 25.—An in- dignation meeting held to-night under tbe auspices of the Irish National Amnesty Association to protest against the bratali- ties to which Dr. Thomas Gallagher, George Albert Whitehead and other American political prisoners were sub- jected in English prisons, was a great success. The hall was crowded and Hon. Morgan J. O'Brien, Judge of the Supreme Court, presided. He received an ovation. Judge O’Brien then said tbat it was per- fectly natural that the Government of this “country should prolest against the crimes and outrages perpetrated upon American citizens in British dungeons. *J'he President of the United States,” said he, **took prompt action in the Vene- zuelan matter a short time ago and told England to keep her hands off that coun- try. I say that the principle involved in Venezuela was not so great as that in- volved here. Venezuelan question concerned land: the question involved here involves the question of humanity.” Telegrams of regret were read frcm rominent persons who could not attend. fiasolmions were adopted deploring the treatment accorded to the Irish political prisoners in English prisons, and calling upon the United States Government to make such protests as will cause a mitiga- tion of the punishment accorded to those still confined there on similar charges. A collection was.taken and it was an- nounced $2000 nad been realized. Dr. Edward McGlynn, the last speaker, said in part: “We are here to-night to plead for the most helpless of men.

But I take it that this meeting is not a defiance of Great Britail e are met here in the interests of conciliation, and to remonstrate, ex- postuliate and request the liberation of the Irish-American prisoners in British prisons, rather than to defy.” Dr. McGlynn stated that the movement was an appeal for mercy for men whose only fault was that they loved their coun- try well. The reveiation of the mental and physical condition of Dr. Gallagher and of Whitehead had been as much of a shock to the English peovle as to the friends of the prisoners tnemselyes. 1n concluding Dr. McGlynn said: “Moral suasion should be used, and public senti- ~ment will result in securing tue liberty of ‘the men still in prison.” gidis verse B 2y Six Prisoners Escape. ~ LOUISVILLE, Ky., Oct. 25.—Six pris- oners escaped from the County Jailat 5:30 ‘o’clock this afternoon by cutting through the wall of an old cell on the third floor.

CHICAGO, Irr., Oct. 2.—Hon Lafe Pence of Colorado was the previously un- announced speaker at a largely attended meeting of supporters of silver held at Battery D this afternoon. Sam Small was to have spoken, but owing toillness in his family was unable to be present.® Mr. Pence said this is the best campaign he has ever known for Sunday meetings to discuss the issues of the day, and claimed that the Republicans had forced the con- sideration of political matters on this day of the week. He quoted a local paper as having said the Republican party stood for relizion, morality and law and order. As examples of these great principles, he cited Bob Ingersoll for religion, W. C.

LAFAYETTE, ixp., Oct. 25.—The trave eling men’s Republican demonstration last night was an immense affair, Aiter the parade the opera-house was crowded. | General Lew Wallace paid his respects to Bryan. He referred to Bryan’s assertion that he was not an anarchist, and said he believed hecould prove that he was. Wal- lace then quoted a portion of Altgeld’s speech deneuncing government by injunc- tion, in which Altgeld declared that if McKinley was elected he would send troops at Herr Most’s request to every vil- lage to oppress the poor.” This language, the general declared, was that of an anarchist. He then auoted from Bryan’s speech, wherein he championed Altgeld as ‘‘the able defender of the principles of the Chicago conven- tion,” and spoke of him as “‘the candidate of our party for Governc r,” and advised people to *vote for him.” This, the general proclaimed, was suffti- cient evidence that Bryan was an anare chist. He was repeatedly cheered. DR, TEMPLEIS PROMOTED Appointed Archbishop of Canter- bury and Primate of All England. Distinguished Career of the Divine Who Succeeds the Late Edward White Bznson. Breckinridge for morality and Herr Most for law and order—all of these men being pronounced in their support of the Re- publican party in this campaign. The speaker quoted Ingersoll's strong indorsement of bimetallism in the lec- tures delivered in Colorado in 1893, when ne political campaign was on, and said that, in view of his change of position this year, he considered the colonel *‘the great- est repudiationist in - the world.” This, however, wasno new character, 3s years &gzo Colonel Ingersoll had repudiated Moses and the prophets, the Apostles and the Martyr, his Savior and his God, and had now only reached the climax by re- pudiating himself. [Hearty and uproari- ous applause.] The wonder was that he did not repudiate the silver dollar long ago because it was inscribed “In God We Trust.” Mr. Pence then turned his attention to Bourke Cockran, the mention of whose name brought out hisses and criesof ‘' He's arat.” He said New York had held the Democ- racy of the country by the throat since 1868, nominating every Presidential can- didate since the war. This time the sov- ereign people of the South and West had declared it would select a man who would fit the Democratic platform it had adopted. Now the New York Democracy sendsout its leaders to disrupt the party. Quoting Cockran's famous speech in 1892 denounc- ing the mugwumos, he pronounced Cock- campaign and thanked ‘hese men’ for their example, saying if.tley.counld thus easily shake off their party sffihations, so could he and his epublican friends. [Great cheering and a voice: “Plenty of us here.”] “Who controls the Republican party?” he asked, and a shout went up: “Mark Hanna.” Referring to the youth of Mr. Bryan, the speaker said it was enough that he was as old as the fathers of the constitu- tion considered necessary, and tbat he is as old as Thomas Jefferson when he wrote the Declaration of Independence.

The carriculum, both theoretical and practical, 1s the result of many years’ experience and has proved itselt well adapted to the institutions. Improvements in that direction are less rapid and less radical than in the other, but there also the academy is advancing as will appear from a perusal of the ap- pendixes already referred to as attached to this report. The professors and officers are accomplished, eachin his sphere, and devoted to their work and deserve wefin of the Government. The number of cadets this year, 332, in- cinding one foreigner receiving instruc- tion by special authority of Congress, is the largest ever belonging to the academy at one time. The recommendation is re. newed that Senators be allowed to ap t two cadets at large from each State, there- by increasing the numberof cadets.
