2 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, MONDAY, NOVEMBER 9, 1896. BISMARCK'S STRIFE WITH THE KAISER Prince Hohenlohe Seeks to End the Disastrous Feud. The Chancellor’s Health Im- paired by the Acuteness of the Controversy. WEINLEY'S POLICY DEBATED. Hoped That His First Aim Will Be to Secure International Bimetallism, Copyrighted, 1896, by the United Associated Presses.] BERLIN, GerMaNy, Nov. 8.—A report which gained general credence was in cir- culation last evening that the Emperor had demanded that Prince Bismarck come to Berlin for the purpose of engazing in a conference with himself and the Imperial Chancellor, Prince Hohenlohe, in regard to the disclosure of State secrets which Prince Bismarck has been making and continues to utter throuzh the medium of his personai organ, the Hamburger Nach- richten. Prince Hohenlohe, who is prac- tically placed in a position which is very distressing to him and is desirous of hav- ing a quiet official life, has suggested that both the Emperor and Prince Bismarck tage some means to bring about an im- mediate cessation of their polemics, which are endangering the peace of Europe. Among the stanch adherents of Prince Bismarck the opinion prevails that things have already gone too far and they are agreed that the controversy must cease, but none of them venture to su:- gest any plan whereby this opject can be accomplished. From Munich, Carlsruhe and other places, where Prince Bismarck is strong in the possession of friends of in- fluence and high station, itis known posi- tively that supplications have been ad- - dressed to him to discontinue the course he is pursuing as the only means of avert- ing serious trouble. Apart from the responsibility of the ex- Chancellor for the revelations of the Russo-German neutrality treaty and other disclosures which have been made, the question has been discussed in Berlin whether Dr. Hoffman, chief editor of the Hamburger Nachrichten, ought not to be indicted ; but, as a result of the discussion, it was decided that the indictment of Dr. Hoffman would be as impracticable a move as to prosecute Prince Bisharck himself under the articles of the penal code by which Count von Arnim and Pro- fessor Geflickin were tried, convicted and imprisoned, and under no circumstances would the Emperor permit such a pro- * ceeding as this. The controversy has now reached an acate stage and is seriously affecting the health of Prince HoLenlohe, who is essen- tially of a pacific temperament and accus- tomed to quiet diplomatic combats. ‘Ite feverish and implacable fight which is Leing waged by Prince Bismarck is causing the Chancellor to pass many sieepless nights, and for this reason the Emperor is de-irous of putting an end to the whole mtter as speedily as possible. Otherwise the Kaiser is understood to be willing to allow Prince Bismarck to ex- pand to his uttermost limit, meeting each of the developments of his warfare with explanations marking the present honest policy of the German Government as con- trasted with the shifty diplomacy of the old Chancelior. In the meantime Hohen- lobe is standing between the Emperor and Prince Bismarck in the attitude of a peacemaker, anxious to conciliate both sides and at least to obtain céssation of a duel without the precipitation of a M- tional scandal. Meanwhile it is undeniable that the effect ol the controversy, coupled with the articles thereon published in the official press; has been to weaken and to decry the policy of Germany as untrustworthy. The poticy which Mr. McKinley 1s ex- pected to pursue after his inauguration as President of the United States in regard to bimetallism and the tariff continues to be discussed in the columns of the lead- ing newspapers. The Kreuz Zeitung maintains that there isreason for a feel- ing of satisfaction among the bimetallists, as there is hope that the first aim of Me- Kinley will be to obtain a settlement of the monetary question upon an inter- national basis. As to the tariff, the Zei- tung proceeds to advocate the co-opera- tion of the Kuropean powers for a con- certed interpretation of the money doe- trine as international law, and then goes on to argue in favor of an international agreement for common duties upon the leading American imports. “This movement of acommon European tariff war in response to the election of Mr. McKinley,” the Zeitung says, *is not & new suggestion, as the same cry was heard during the first outburst against the tariff law when it went into operation in the United States, butthe movement was seen to be impracticable.” Pursuing the subject, the paper says: “If it is impossible to achieve joint Eu- ropean activity Germany must proceed upon independent lines, first creating a high tariff and then giving notice of the cessation of the ‘most favored nation’ sys- tem as soon as the Government raises its tariff.” The Zeitung says this would have the effect to secure the success of negotiations for a tteaty based upon the new German maximum tarnff. The Hamourger Nachrichten relies upon Mr. mcKinley’s favoring bimetallism on principle, and believes that he will do his utmost to obtain an intercational mone- tary agreement. \ The Hambur; Correspondenz, a semi- official inurna\.\ vs that although it is not in expectatio.. that there will be any ultimate benefit 10 the commercial reia- tions between Europe and the United States as a result of the Presidential elec~ tion, it is convinced that the bimetsilic movement will rather revive than subside under the adniinistration of President Me. Kinley. 2 - The Socialists differ greatly in their comments upon the defeat of Bryan and their estimates of the results ofthe elec- tion of McKinley. Herr William Lieb- knecht, the Bocialist leader, in a com- munication to the Voerwaerts argues that there would have been a convulsion of trade, 1f Bryan had been elected, which wouldhave’ worked serious lnfixry to the working people. Mr. Bryan, Herr Lieb- kuecht says, is not a scientific socialist, but is rather an agitator. Ex-Court Chaplain Stiecker, in . his Christian Socialist organ, the Volk, takes an opposite view, holding that Bryan is leader of social reforms based upon Chris- tian principles. The returns of the imports of Ameriean butter into Germany show that inbe im- portation continues to increase. In 1893 the quantity of American butter brought to Germany was only 21,500 kilograms. In 1894 the aggrepate was 296,000 kilograms, in 1895 375,000 kilograms, and for the first eight months of 1896 the importation reached 398,000 kilograms. The merchants of Hamburg are com- plaining of tbe strictness with which the measures of the United States consulate in that city are mnow being enforced. Hitherto the United States Consul has ex- ercised his discretion in legalizing 1nvoices after shipments had been effscted, but acung under instructions from Washine- ton, the consulate now ‘insists upon the legalization of invoices before or con- temporary with the shipments. The exports of raw sugar from Ham- burg has taken on such large dimensions thaton Friday five vessels were engaged at the same time in loading with 10,300 tons of the product. This_increase is largely due, however, to the desire of the dealers to get as much raw sugar out of the country as possible before the new sugar law goes into effect. The great increase in the importation of American apples into Germany has led the agrarian newspapers to agitate in favor of the Government taking measures to prohibit further imports, alleging that sources of disease have been discovered in recent importations of the fruit. Avpropos of the attempts oj the agra- rians to restrict American exports gener- ally the North German Gazette says that American newspapers are badly informed when they assert that the German Gov- ernment contemplates placing further restrictions upon the importation of American products. The statement that the inspection here of ail imported tinned meats has been ordered oris about to be ordered, the Zeitung seys, is also erro- neous. The manager of the Prussian Govern- ment stud has purchased the American trotting mare Helen Nichols for stock purposes, KNIGHTS OF_LABOR, Delegates to the Twentieth Genmeral As- sembly Gathering at Rochester.

ROME, IraLy, Nov. 8. —The nomination of the Rev. C. E. Thomas as Bishop of Wilmington, Del., will be published at the next consistory. Iltis stated in Vatican circles that the forced retirement of Bishop Keane from the rectorship of the Catholic university at Washington will be followed by the removai of severai of the professors at that institution. There is much intrigue regarding the successor of Bishop Keane. It has not been decided who will be appointed to the rectorship. e S The Tiber-Maggie Disaster. HALIFAX, N.

PARIS, Fraxcr, Nov. 8.—The papers here discuss the pamphlet issned in Brus- sels by M.

PUSTAL SEGHCE REPORT Great Saving During the Year and Improvement in Delivery. The Frankiog Privilege Abused Dur- 10g the Campaign—A Penalty Recommended. WASHINGTON, D. C., Nov., 8.—First Assistant Postmaster - General Frank Jones, in his annual report for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1896, states that there has during that time been a saving of $3.278.985, and also shows an improve- ment in the service of delivering the vol- ume of mail matter. Tne number of Presidential postoffices is 3684, the salaries of postmasters being §6,203,000, and the total gross receipts irom these offices were $65,282,364. Mr. Jones recommernds that $17,000,000 be appropriated to compensate postmas- ters for the next fiscal year. He asks only $11,000,000 for clerk hire, a considerable decrease in proportion to the increase of clerks to be employed. He recommends that $75,000 be appropriated for the rental and purchase of canceling moachines. He thinks that $100,000 is a sufficient sum to cover advertising expenses regarding un- claimed letrers and advocates the adop- tion of the bulletin-board system in this matter. He recommends that ten in- spectors be assigned to look after the work in the salary and allowance branch of the service. Free delivery service has been estab- lished at twenty-four cities during the year, and there are now but sixty-three enti- tled to it, but on account of the expense the remainder could not be benefited. Experimental free delivery in towns ana villages has shown a reduction in gross receipts in a majority of offices. By No- vember 1 next rural free delivery will be tested in about thirty States. There was a reduction of dismissals of letter-carriers, which evidences the high standard of dis- cipline, An estimated expenditure of $13,326,500 is.made on account of free delivery sys- tems for the fiscal year 1597-98, Negotiations are now pending for an exchange of money orders with Mexico. Mr. Jones recommends that a penalty be prescribed for the un!awful use of the frank of a member of Congress, and sug- gests §300 fine in each case. He says the law was disregarded during the campaign just closed. He asks legislation to do away with private postoffice boxes. L e . Pacific Coast Pennions. WASHINGTON, D.

Say the Dingley Bill Can Be Enacted at the Short Session. THIS IS HIGELY IMPROBABLE. An Extra Session, a New Senate and a N.w President Seem to Be Necessary. WASHINGTON, D. C., Nov. 8.—Sena- tors Quay and Sherman have within the past few days expressed the confident opinion that at the coming short session of Congress an effort will again be made to pass the Dingley tariff bill through Congress. This effort, if successtvl, would obviate the necessity for cailing the new Congress in extra session immediately after the inauguration of Mr. McKinley. It is therefore conceded that it would be most desirable to clear up the difficulty now embarrassing the treasury. Unfortunately, however, in spite of the fact that two Senators so eminent in their party’s council as Messrs. Quay and Sher- man have asserted the probability of the passage of the Dingley emergency bill, it does not seem likely the measure can pass the Senate. In the first place, the Re- publicans lack far too many votes to make a solid compact majority for any party measure like a tariff bill. The coming short session, at which Mr. Quay belives a tariff bill can be passed, will seein their seats on the Democratic side Messrs. Gibson, Brice, Hill, Palmer and Blackburn, all of whom will be sue- ceeded next year by Republicans, but all of whom would talk and vote against a tariff bill, and who would giory in de- voting their last daysin Congress to the defeat of any tariff legislation. More- over, it is a short session, and at the short session the Appropriations Committee has full say in the Senate. Conceding that the Senate Finance Com- mittee, which at the present time is still in the power of the free-silver Senators, couid report the bill to the Senate with only the usual routine delay of the Senate committee, it would still be some time in January before the measure coula be called up in that body. With only six or eight weeks remaining to the session in which the thirteen indispensable appropriation bills must be passed, it is easy to see bow itis possible for a few Democratic Sena- tors to talk tariff until the Appropriations Comumittee would peremptorily demand the withdrawal of the measure. Besides, it appears to be forgottenin Mr. Quay’s programme that Mr. Cleveland is still in the White House, and that even if the bill passed both branches of Congress it would meet a prompt veto at the other end of the avenue. Itis the general belief that no serious attempt will be made to pass the Dingley bill, but that an extra session of the new Congress will be called, at which a care- fully drawn protective tariff bill yielding ample revenue will be adopted, and at which a bill may also be passed author- izing the Secretary of the Treasury to issue short-term low-interest bonds suf- ficient to meet any emergency that may arise until the new tariff bill will bring in sufficient revenue to enable the Goverment to meet all its expenditures. FAR-REACHING TELEPHONE ORDER. Practically Puts an End to the Western Electric Company's Exclusive Manu- facturing Rights. CHICAGO, Iry, Nov. 8.—In the United States Circnit Court yesterday Judge Showalter issued an order of far-reaching importance to the telephone industry in which the court practically puts an end to the alleged rizht of exclusive manufacture beld by the Western Electric Company. The order or eniry made in the case is to the effect that the Watson telephone switch patent had expired July 30, 1895, by virtue of 1ts having been taken out in Canada by theinventor July 30, 1880. The discovery that a Canadian patent had been issued on the invention was made only recently by the Western Telephone Construction Company, which concern was the principal deiendant in the suit brought by the combined Bell and West- ern electric combination. The court has had the case in which the Western Elec- wric Company charged infringment under advisement since last summer and in the meantime the Western Telephone Gon- struction Company discovered this new evidence. Aside from ordering the admission of this testimony yesterday Judge Showalter could do nothing further until he renders his decision. Under the decision in the Bates refrige- rator case the discovery of the Canadian patent shortens the life of the Watson concession five years, it having been ruled that a patent taken out in a foreign coun- try acts against a later patent issued in this country. e, TRANS-MISS1. PPI CONGRESS, W. J. Bryan Will Now Devote Himself to the Coming Exposition. LINCOLN, NEsr., Nov. 8—W. J. Bryan, as president of the Trans-Mississippi con- gress, is interesting himself in that enter- prise, and since the election result bécame known has received a number of calls from Omaha gentlemen and others urging him to call a meeting of the congress at as early a date as practicable. The congress originated the exposition as a means of bringing trans-Mississippi States together in closer union. Omaha was selected as the site of the proposed exhibition. Iowa and Louisiana Legislatures have met since plans for the exposition were perfected, and each made appropriations to defray preliminary expenses for arranging a State exhibit, Legislatures oi other Western States will meet in January, and those inter- ested in the exposition want an early meeting of the Trans-Mississippi Con- gross, so that plans may' be arranged to induce Legislatures of Western Stutes to set aside funds for State exhibits. These matters were discussed with Mr, Bryan,ana he was authorized to do what he could to furthe: the interests of the expo- sition. The vi un&dale;- ion wants the Trans-Mississippi Congress to meet about December 15. No definite action has been taken by Mr. Bryan, but it is understood that the annual meeting will be held not later than that date. The meeting-place this year is Salt Lake. The Nebraska Legisiature at its coming session will be asked to mak an appro- priation of from $100,000 to $200,000 in be- half of the exposition. Mr, Bryan will remain st his home Lincoln for an indefinite period. ¥ dn 2 itk MINNIE DUPREE TO WED. Second Matrimonial Venture of the Cali- fornia Actress Formally An- nounced. _ NEW YORK, N. Y., Nov. 9.—A morn- ing paper says: Minnie Dupree, who re- cently finished a two weeks’ engagement at the Boston Musenm in the “Two Little Vagrants,” has announced her intention to forsake the stage at the end of the sea- son for a second matrimonial venture. The man of her choice is Major Wiliam H. Langley, a cotton millionaire who lives atthe New Amsterdam Hotel at Fourth avenue and Twenty-first street. Major Langley’s first wife, who was Marie Bell Shepard, got a divorce from him about a year ago. At the time the Langleys separated it was said that the wife received $350,000 fot herself and $1,- 000.0001in trust for her three children. Major Langley is a member of the Man- hattan and other clubs and is reputed to be worth several million dollars. Minnie Dupree is a Californian, 26 years of age, and has piayed leading parts with Richard Mansfield, Nat Goodwin and Stuart Robson, i SNOW IN SOUTH DAKOTA. The Heavy and unseasonable Fall Will Cause Much dSuffering, 8T, PAUL, Minx~., Nov. 8. — Reports from points in South Dakota report a re- markably heavy fall of snow for this season of the year. A Huron special says from twelye to fourteen inchesot snow covers the ground in that portion of the State, more than fell all last winter, and the neaviest so early in the season for six- teen years. Thousands of acres of corn are covered, and but a small portion of the crop has been threshed. Settlers are unprepared for winter and much suffering will follow. The snow has drifted and railway trains are impeded. Chamberiain and Miller report heavy loss to stock and much suffering as a result of the severe weather. s e RUSSELL SMITH DEAD.

FAOR Offic -Seekers of Every Descrip- tion Are Now Presenting Their Claims. Wagon - Loads of Flowers Divided Among Sick Friends or Sent to Hospitals. CANTON, Omro, Nov. 8.—Major Mec- Kinley is rapidly recovering from the effects of the mental strain and arduous labors of the campaign, and this evening expressed himself as being quite fully rested. He is in excelient health and spirits. The President-elect spent a very quiet Sunday. He took a short walk early in the morning, attended church as usual, and in theafternoon weunt for a drive. The balance of the day Major McKinley passed ,quietly in his library. Among those who callea were: Charles G. Dawes, member of the executive committee of the Netional Republican Committee, Ferdinand W. Peck and Alexander Revell of Chicago, Captain A. T. Wimberly of New Orleans and Congressman Francis H. Wilson of Brooklyn, N. Y. The determination of Major McKinley to remain in Canton till the middle of this week on account of the feeble condition of his wife may keep the stormecloud of political interest central over Canton for some days longer. The character of the visitors to Major McKinley has changed a good deal since his election. During the campaign when the railways made Jow rates there were hundreds and thousands of people from the lowly walks of life who came to Canton. Now the vis- itors are largely of the political, office- aspirants for places of the higher grades take the trouble to come to Canton. For the apparent purpose of tendering con- gratulations in person many persons who have great expectations bring themselves into the horizon of the President-elect. Applications for official places are begin- ning to come in by mail in large nambers, and they include appointments from day laborers up to chiefs of bureaus. Flowers in unlimited quantities continue to reach Mrs. McKinley. Everyroom in the house is filled with them, and the supply was so large yesterday afternoon that a wagon- load was divided among sick friends and the patientsin the city hospital. Among the many letters and telegrams received by the President-elect to-day were the following: R. J. Colcord, chairman State Committe, Carson, Nev.—The few Republicans of Nevada extend sincere thanks and hearty congratula- tions to our gallant lesder and the Repub- licans of the great East for having saved us from dishonor, repudiation snd pernicious heresies of Populism. W. W. Baker, editor, Portland, Or.—The Farmer and Stockman extends to you and the country its congratulations. Hon. George C. Perkins, San Francisco—I congratulate you upon your magnificent victory, assuring prosperity to our common country. California, I am pleased to say, joins the Republican columns. William Barr, chairman Republican County Committee, San Rafael, Cal.—Marin, the ban- ner Republican county in the State of Califor- nia, sends her greetings toyou on your suc- cessful campaign, e KENTUCKY'S KELKCTORAL VOTE. Chairman Woodson Claims a Conspiracy to Steal the Atate. OWENSBORO, Ky., Nov. 8.—In a com- munication to the United Associated Presses this evening, Ury Woodson, chair- man of the Democratic State Central Com- mittee, says: Ihave only to say that Governor Bradley, by his telegram of November 6 to ublican Na- tional Committeeman Scottof New York, in which he said, “‘Kentucky has certainly gone for McKinley, will just.as ce nli counted,” proves that he is and has been from the first in'a counspiracy to steal Kentucky for McKinley. The Republican State chairman only claims about 400 piurality out of 425,000 votes, and on November 6, the date of ihe Gov- elegram, it was known to no man that Kentucky had certainly gone for McKinley nor Bryan eith Nor is it ye Victory for Bimetallism, VIENNA, Avstria, Nov. 8—Pro- fessor Suze, an Austrisn economist, has written a letter to the Neue Wiener Tage- blatt in which he argued that Mr. McKin- iex’s election is a victory for international bimetallism.

Sever an Ear and Carry It Away as Evidence of Their Success. TEN CHINESE UNDER ARREST. Emp oyes of the Murdered Man Sus. pected of Complicity in the Crime. STCCKTON, CaL., Nov. 8.—One of the most brutal murders in the histery of San Joaquin County was committed last night, and ten Chinese are in jail here charged | with complicity in connection with_ the killing of See Jack, 2 Mongolian gardener of Staten Isiand. The murder was clearly the deed of some highbinders’ organiza- tion, as the left ear of the murdered man was cut off and carried away by his slayer as un evidence to those who em- p!nyad him that he had disposed of his vietim. 5 See Jack wasengaged infarming a tract of land on Staten lsland and had two other Mongolians in partnership with him. A number of almond-eyed coolies were employed in cultivating the place, on ‘which was raised garden-truck for the San Francisco market. The men were all in the bunkbouse last night, according to the statement of the occupanis, when See Juck went outside. He was heard quar- reling with another Chinese, but those &vithin did not go outside to see who the other man was. Shots were heard, ana when the inmates of the bunkhouse rashed out they found See Jack lying dead outside, with three builets in him and his head mutilated where the assassin had cut off his ear. The Sheriff’s office was notified and the oflicers who went to the island scout this story. The dead Mongol was found to have one bullet, from a 44-caliber pistol, in his neck; another entered above the eft nipple, and a third entered his'body from the left side. The missing ear was cut off so close to the head that it must; have been severed with a kalfe as keen as arazor. The other Chinese on the place denied all knowledge of the killing and united in saying that they knew nothing uttil they heard the shots and ran out to find See Jack lying dead in a pool of tlood. The Sheriff's deputiies did not be- lieve this, and arrested every man on the place for complicity in the crime. This county has for years been very free from highbinder wariare, as the officers keep a strict watch on all who come from San Francisco for this purpose and notify them to leave at ouce upon their arrival. On the islands, however, it is difficult to | S | makers of nre engines and all apparatus learn whether representatives of the San Francisco societies are about, and this murder is, without doubt, the work of some member of the organization of paid assassins. An inquest will be held to- that new evidence will be brought out. Meantime the officers are busy on the case and expect to implicate some of the Chinese now under arrest. OARKLAND BEATS STUCKTON. Russell’s Left- Handed Twirling Wins a Baseball Game. STOCKTON, CaL, Nov. 8—The Oak- land aggregation of baseball players did about as it pleased with the crack nine of Stockton at Goodwater Grove to-day. The Stockton team had been leading in the race for the pennant, and after last Sun- day’s game was only slightly behind the Imperials, The Stocktonians thought tbey would have an easy time with Oak- land to-day, but they were sadly disap- pointed, as the curves ot Oakland’s left- handed twirler, Russell, were too puzzling They failed to make a run for seven innings, and it was not until the eighth that they managed to send four men across the rubber. 8o vuzzling was Russell that only five base hits were made off him, and the Stockton men are usually very bhandy with the stick. ft was the great work of the Oakland pitcher that won the game. follows: The runs by innings were as 0 0 000 0 4 0-14 13 4 01 1 0 x—10 —_——— SAN JUSE'S POULIRY SHOW.

Speaks of the Losing Baltle of the Free- Silrer Forces. WASHINGTON, D. C., Nov. 8.—Senator Marion Butler, chairman of the National Committee of the People’s party, has isgued the following statement: To the People of the United States: In the re- markable campaign just closed the People’s party was the only party that supported solidly and unitedly the great and vital issues represented in the candidacy of Mr. Bryan. This was natural, for the People’s party came into existence to bring to the front and to ress to victory the principles of Lincoln and efferson, already long discarded by the two old parties. The money power, feeling reesonably sure of 1ts control and domination of the leaders and the controlling influences in the Republican smy in 1892, gave its support to the candi- acy of Grover Cleveland ior the special pur- pose of having him, through tne use of patronage and otherwise, crush out the silver sentiment in the South and make the leaders in that partv as completely subservient 2s those in the Republican party. To accompm}; this purpose four Cabinet Ministers from the South and an unusually large amount of patronage was used on the leaders 1o the same cffoct. demanded that Democratic Senators and_Con- gressmen give a decisive vote in the interest of the gold standard hefore he would even give outthe postoflices. This deep plan mignt have succeeded had not the People's party at this junciure sprung into existence, exposed the plot, stood in the breach and appealed to the patriotie hosts of bo:h parties to check the scheme of the peopie’s despoiler and rally to & common cause. Then the People’s party forced the Demo- cratic organization to repudiate Cleveland and toreturn to the correct fundamental princi- ples. Not only this, but the People’s party then forced the Republican pariy to cease hedging and straddling for the purpose of de- ceiving people, and drove it into & stand on one side or the other of the vital issues at stake. The issue now being squarely defined, it was evident that those intluences in thé Demo- cratic party which had dominated and de- bauched the party for a quarter of & century would be driven to the lllJ)porl of a party tnat took & position on_the side of trusts, monopo- lies and money gamblers. While on the other hand it is evident that even though the larger per cent of the Republican party favored the principles not squarely forced to the front, yet only a small per cent would In this campaign support them because they found them advocated by the Democrats. But had it not been for the prejudice inst the Democratic name as_ well 28 a want of confidence in Demo- cratic promises, for which it must be iairly admitted past experience furnisnes am- pie ground, a majority of the voters of the country, in spite of the tremendous and un- paralleled forces put forward by the Republi- can managers, would have cast titeir votes for reform and American independence. The People’s party, with a high patriotism and an unselfish devotion to principle greater than ever before exhibited by any other party, stepped outside of its organization to throw 118 2,000,000 votes solidly for Bryan. Hadnot more than this number of those who called themselves Democrats in 1892 given their sup- port to McKinley, the cause of the people and American principles would have triumphed this yeer. This class of Demoerats will surely support the party of monopolies and trusis in the future. Their places in the ranksof the re- form hogts may be taken by patriotic Repub- licans. In fact, Bryan would have been elected in this contest had even 25,000 silver Repub- licans come to the rescue. The election of McKinley and triumph of the | gold standard does not express the desiresand | sentiments of the American people. The ma- { jority ofpose the policy for which he stands, and will so vote whenever an opportunity is presented for proper alignment. The remark- able and brilliant campaign of William J. Bryan would have aligned these forces and marched them to & triumphant victory if any candidate or leader 11 American could have done so under tne Democratic banner.

THE HOTTEST REGION ON EARTH. Water for tho Inhabitants Obtained From Springs at the Sea Bottom. The hottest region on the esrth’s surtace is on the southwestern coast of Persia, on the border of the Persian Gulf. For forty consecutive days in the months of July and August the mercury has been known to stand about 100 degrees in the shade, night and day, and to run up as high as 130 degrees in the middle of the afternoon. At Bahrein, in the center of the most torrid part of this most torrid belt, as though it were nature’s intention to make the place as unbearable as possible, water from wells is something unknown. Great shafts have been sunk toa depth of 100, 200, 300 and even 500 feet, but always with the same result—no water. This serious drawback notwithstanding, a comparatively numerous population contrives to live tnere, thanks to copious springs, which burst forth from the bot- tom of the gulf more than a mile from the shore. achadores” (divers), whose sole occupation is that of furnisning the people of Bahrein with the life-giving fluid, repair to that portion of the gulf where the springs are situated and bring away with them hundreds of bags full of the water each day. The water of the gulf where the springs burst forth is nearly 200 feet deep, but these machadores manage to fill their goatskin sacks by diving to_ the bottom and holding the mouths of the bags over fountain-jets— this, too, without allowing the salt water of the gulf to mix with it. The source of these submarine fountains 1s thought to be in the hills of Osmond, 400 or 500 miles away. Being situated at the boitom of the gulf itisa mystery how they were ever discovered, but itis said that they have been known since the dawn of his- tory.—Popular Science News, ————— BISHOPS AGAINST A PRINCE. Long Conflict Over the Famous Do- ceased Wife’s Sister Bill. The famous deceased wife’s sister bill is at this moment nearer to passage by the English Parliament than ever before in its long and eventful history. The bill, as some Americans may not know, seeks to repeal the existing statute making the marriage 8f a widower with the sister of his deceased wife null and in- cestuous. Such a statute remains on the statute-books of England alone of all civilized or uncivilized countries. Even in the British colonies and dependencies, from one end of the empire to the other, such marriages are permitted. The in- hibition was raised in France sixty years ago, and in Germany and Seandinavian countries even earlier. In countries sub- Lecl to t .e spiritual rule of the Church of ome such marriages are nominally for- bidden, but are aliowed by dispensation. The history of the repealing bill in Eng- land affords one of the most amusing ex- amples of British clerical obstinacy. For Urfigmyan Minister of breign‘] e Wi It will be remembered that Mr. Cleveland | many years it has_been known that the great maiority of British commoners de- sirdd the repeal of the statute. Most of the gentry and even the lords temporal were of tge same mind. Even the royal family, almost without exception, are and have been with the commoners. The Dis- Senters are as a unit in the same party. The opposition to this vast preponder- ance of opinion lies in the Archbishop of Canterbury and the Bishops or lords spiritual. These prelates have held the balance of power in the House of Lords, and year by year have prevented the pas- sace of the repealing law. This year, greatly to the scandal of their lordships, the Prince of Wales him- self came up to London and canvassed among the peers for votes. The bishops were all the more scandalized because the date for the second reading was so fixed as not to interfere with ihe Prince’s Ascot engagements. His Royal Highness suc- ceeded so well as a drummer for votes that the second reading was passed by a bandsome majority. It has since come to the third reading, and is now ready for the Commons. The Earl of Dunrayen en- gineered the passage of the bill through the Lords. The ultimate fate of the bill depends upon its fate in the Commons. If it reaches that body at « comjortuble season before adjonrnment it will be passed, and the obnoxious law will cease to be. If it be deferred till the closing hours it is likely#o die, and all the troublesome busi- ness will have to be gone through again. ¥The contention over the bill is chietdy of a religious controversial character. The Archbishop of Canterbury huas indeed con- tended that to permit such marriages would be to ‘‘comproiiise the peace of families,” but with the principle of Ger- many, France, the United States and all the British colonies before their eyes this argnment has not gone far with the Brit- ish public. The present bll exempts the clergy of the Churct of England from its opera- tions, insomuch that if the bill be passed the marriages comprehended in its pro- visions must be performed in Kugland by Dissenting, Jewish or Roman Cathoiic clergymen, or by a civil officer.—New York Journal » R T The Sorrows of a Collector. One of the brightest men in town—a man who you'd swear came from some cultured center of the East il his name didn’t specially assert prcisely the oppo- site—has the Robert Louis Stevenson mania in its most aggravated form. Some little time ago a friend wrote him that he had procured for him, after unheard of exertions, a genuine Stevenson antograpb. The news raised him into a seventh heaven of bliss and into the very top story of the heaven at that. Actually to have some exquisttely constructed sentence, scme flash of immortal genius, some in- timate expression of deepest thought from the master's pen, seemed too much to hope for. At length, however, the precious document came. The enthusiast unfolded it. It was a small slip of paper on which were the magical words: Please deliver to bearer one dollar and fifteen cents.
