MR. BRYAN IN CHICAGO
TEX SPEECHES MADE YESTERDAY
1> YAKtOlS l'AHTS Ol I'ilE
\VI\U1 CITY.
TALI^S TO BUSINESS MEN.
|)itly About One-Third of Hie Crowd
Able to Get Into the Hull—An
Address to l.uditn.
Chicago. Oct. 28.—Twice this afternoon
the largest hall in the business district of
Chicago was packed almost to suffocation
with people to hear \Y. J. Bryan. Outside
on the lake front and streets adjoining,
unable to gain admittance, were crowds
that would have tilled the hall twice again.
Eight other large meetings were addressed
by Mr. Bryan before midnight in various
parts of the city. The most important
meeting was the big business men's meet-
ing at Battery D on the lake front. Es-
pecially next in point of interest was the
great meeting for women in the same place
a couple of hours later.
Long before the hour for the business
men's meeting Battery D was packed. The
seats had been removed from the body of
the hall and the audience stood solidly
shoulder to shoulder. The great girders
that supported the roof furnished stats for
a number of venturesome admirers, and
the galleries were packed. The hall was
crowded to its utmost limit. General C. II.
♦ Howard called the meeting to order. Mr.
Bryan received an ovation lasting more
than five minutes, anil it bade fair to con-
tinue indefinitely. General Howard ob-
tained the attention of the audience, how-
ever. by saying that Mr. Bryan asked one
question, whether those present were all
business men. A thousand voices answered
"Yes!" and in the lull that followed one
voice rose clearly as he said: "We mean
business!" (Cheering.)
,m. Mr. Bryan spoke at length on the money
question. Among other things he said:
My friends, here is a great financial sys-
tem resting upon a handful of gold, and
people in a foreign land have a string to
the gold, and you don't know when they
are going to pull the bottom from out un-
der your fabric arid let your entire com-
mercial structure collapse. (Applause.)
Tell the people not to be agitated, my
friends; you can not calm the sea by
words; as hopeless is it to attempt to
calm troubled society by telling them to be
quiet when they know that catastrophe
stands just in front of them all the time.
(Cheering.)
1 want you to note this proposition:
When we talk about wanting more money,
why, they tell us there is enough money In
the country; plenty of money in the coun-
try. The moment you begin to argue that
there should be more, they will silence you
by pointing to the amount of money in the
banks awaiting to be loaned If we have
enough money in this country now, let us
have a financial system of our own. and
they say: "Oh no. no: can't do that, be-
cause if you do you can not borrow from
abroad." (Laughter and cheers.) Why do
we want to borrow if we have enough?
(Prolonged cheers.) These then are the
two propositions: If we /have enough
money, then we don't want any money to
come from abroad, because then we would
have too much, and nobody wants too
much. (Laughter.) If we need money from
abroad it is conclusive proof that we have
not enough money now in this country, and
if we have not enough now I assert that it
is better to have an additional supply
come out of our own mountains and be our
monty Instead of borrowing and then pay
it back to the foreign nations of the world.
(Applause.)
F notice that some of our critics are very
much excited because the Chicago platform
says we pledge ourselves to secure such
legislation as will for the future prevent
contracts for a particular kind of money.
Why. they say that we are not going to
let people contract. We are not going to
let them make contracts that are against
public policy: we do not intend that they
shall demonetize by private contract what
this government makes money by universal
law. (Great clwfring.) You Say thai we
have no right to interfere with private con-
tracts. l ask one of you to enter into a
contract to collect 2d per cent interest, and
see whether the government has any right
to interfere with it. Upon what theory is
a usury law based? It is based upon'the
theory that the men who borrow money
need to be protected from the avarice of
the man who loans them money. (Ap-
plause.) This is the basis of oil usury laws,
and when a man tells me that we have not
the right to protect the money of the Unit-
ed States against the conspiracy of those
who would degrade it. I tell you that we
have more right to prevent gold contracts
or silver contracts than you have to pre-
vent one Individual from agreeing to pay
another more than a certain amount of in-
terest. (Applause.)
My friends, our opponents having been
defeated in their efforts to convince the
people that the gold standard ought to be
maintained, are seeking now to do what
they have always tried to do. win the bat-
tle on another issue, but, having won. will
have carried the gold standard a little fur-
ther. Now they are telling you that my
election would be a menace to peace. They
tell you I stand for lawlessness. 1 want to
say to you that 1 stand not only for the
enforcement of every law. but I stand for
arbitration as a means of adjusting diffi-
culties by peaceable means.
A voice: We will give you a chance next
Tuesday.
Our opponents believe in allowing the
railroads to engage in a controversy with
the labor organizations and then call out
the standing army to preserve order. I be-
lieve in compelling them to submit their
differences to boards of arbitration arid
adjust by peace what our opponents would
adjust by force. (Prolonged applause.)
You business men have been told that an
era of lawlessness will nrevail if i am
elected. I want to tell them that until we
find some means of adjusting the differ-
ences that aris" between labor and capital,
some system that compels both to go be-
fore Impartial tribunals, you can expert
increasing disorder instead of increasing
quiet. If one man differs with another 1
do not ask them to go out and settle it by
fighting. I tell them to submit to a court
and let the court decide and l»-t the govern-
ment enforce the decree of that impartial
tribunal. (Applause.) And so. my friends,
conditions have so changed that it is nec-
essary to extend the principle of the court
of justice to the boards of arbitration and
let them sit in judgment upon the dis-
putes that arise between the great car-
riers of our interstate commerce and the
employes of those railroads. I believe in
arbitration, and, my friends, the b«-st evi-
dence that our principle of arbitration is
just is to be found in the fact that not a
republican speaker dared to stand before
an American audience and condemn that
plank in favor of arbitration. (Applause.)
And yet. without daring to condemn, they
go up and down this land observing silence
as to arbitration, and do you expect their
party to favor arbitration if it secures its
hold ori this government?
They tell you that we will not enforce
the laws. The fears of thesje people are not
that I will refuse to enforce the law. They
fear 1 will enforce the law. (Applause.)
They know that I entertain old fashioned
ideas upon this subject and that according
to my idea the big criminals should wear
strlres the same as the little criminals.
I want to say to you that we who be-
lieve in enforcing all the laws against all
classes of society are better friends of
government than those who make scape-
goats of little criminals and then let big
ones run at large to run the government
itself. (Applause.) The very men who
would suffer most through the enforcement
of law are the ones who seem to be most
terribly alarmed that there will be lax en-
forcement of laws. They are not afraid I
will encourage lawlessness, but they know
that if I am elected their trusts will not
select the attorney general who will ad-
minister the law. (Great applause and
wild cheering.) Now, my friends, this is a
business man's meeting, and we are talk-
ing at the noon hour, and I don't want you
to neglect your business by staying here
any longer. I have told you what J be-
lieve of these things. If you want that
kind of a president you can have him, but
f >'ou don't, you don't have to have him.
(Great applause and cheering.)
The crush at the afternoon meeting even
exceeded that of the noonday meeting,
raintlng women were carried from the hall
every few minute--. r.,r two hours before
Mr. Bryan arrived it was impossible to ob-
tain admission, arid •; mds gathered on
the lake front, hopi f..r an overflow
meeting, but this wa i ib!e. The nom-
inee's appearance on : ■ was greeted
"With a mighty shout of applause. Hundreds
of ladles in the audience had small Ameri-
can flags, and as they cheered they waved
the flags in unison. But as Mr. Bryan was
about to begin his address he noticed a
. irge number of men In the windows on
the roof of the building, and fearing dan-
ger. he declined to proceed until- the roof
was cleared. H.'- speech was on the lines

lloyt'M Contribution.
Chicago, 111., Oct. 2S.—W. M. Hoyt of
the firm of W. M. Hoyt & Co.. importers
and wholesale grocers, presented to Mr.
Bryan to-day a house and two lots in Lin-
coln. Neb., in lieu of a cash contribution to
the- campaign fund. In his letter Mr. Hoyt
scored the sold standard and declared that
although he is rich in real estate he is
poor in cash.
Mr. Bryan turned the deed over to Chair-
man Jones, who will sell it and put the
proceeds into the campaign fund of the
democratic party. The property is worth
about $18,000.
Eujjt Thrower* Arrested.
Chicago, HI.. Oct. 28.—Chauncey Foster
and L. J. Hanchett, two of the four stu-
dents of the Metropolitan business college
accused of having thrown eggs at W. J.
Bryan and Mrs. Bryan when the parade
yesterday passed the college, were arrested
about noon by Detectives McCaffrey and
Fay, who are working on the case. The
two students are the sons of well-to-do
South side families. IT years of age. Foster
and Hanchett confessed that they had
thrown the. eggs. What action will be
taken haiKnot yet been decided. Thomas
Geehan, chairman of the democratic com-
mittee, has the following letter from Mr.
Bryan regarding the matter:
Auditorium Hotel Chicago, 111., Oct. 2S.—
Dear Mr. Geehan: 1 wish you would ask
for the release of the boys arrested for
throwing the eggs. I am sure it was an
act of thoughtlessness, and their arrest has
doubtless been a sufficient lesson to them
and others. Yours truly, W. J. BUYAN.
Whether the boys will be prosecuted the
chief of police refuses to say.
Cuiiiiuiu'n Reports.
Cltlcago. 111., Oct. 28.—Mr. D. J. Campau,
chairman of the democratic campaign com-
mittee, received to-day the following na-
tional reports in regard to the various
states:
Alabama—Democratic electoral ticket will
receive no less than 50.u«»0 majority. The
nine democratic congressional candidates
will be elected by from 500 to 7lH)0 majori-
ties.
Letters from farming sections of New
York state and enthusiastic workingmen in
the metropolis afford ample assurances of
victory lor Bryan. Farmers are offering
lands and crops to silver committee. Mc-
Kinley parades and men are mere, election
devices. People not with them.
Pennsylvania is making a great battle,
and is not surely republican. Great silver
gains are reported from all the agricultural
counties, arm our mining counties are fair-
ly ablaze with enthusiasm. Whereas we
have now two congressmen we expect to re-
turn in or 12 to help President Bryan carry
out his proposed reforms.
The drift In Kentucky has been our way
ever since the Chicago convention, it is
stronger to-day than at any previous time.
We will win by a majority that proposes to
reach 40.000.
The Bryan and Sewall ticket is gaining
strength in New Hampshire. Wherever
our speakers go we hear of many converts.
The Palmer and Buckner vote will be un-
important.
Palmer and Buckner.
Creston, la., Oct. 38.—Amid artillery sa-
lutes and cheering of thousands, the special
Palmer and Buckner train drew into this
city shortly utter noon. An escort of sever-
al hundred G. A. K. men and citizens ac-
companied the party to the opera house,
where an audience of 1500 people greeted
the generals. General Buckner spoke for
thirty-five minutes, discussing the money
question with keenness and force. An ef-
fort on the part of a cotf.de of silver men
to hiss him was squelched. General Palmer
made a short address, directing his re-
marks to the old soldiers, commenting on
the effect of free silver on their pensions.
The meeting closed with cheering for
Palmer and Buckner. A reception to the
old soldiers was held. The party left for
the east at 2.30.
at Washington would have withheld
eight days. Perhaps Mr. Edgerton. secre-
tary o: the national committee, could tell
where the letter has been. 1 had nothing
to do with Mr. Washburn's letter or tele-
prams. nor will the letter be altered to suit
Mr. Butler. THOMAS E. WATSON.
Tillimm to Speak at Chicago.
Chicago, 111., Oct. 28.—Senator Tillman
recently offered to make a speech in Chi-
cago for the democratic party, but his
services were in turn declined by the na-
tional. state and county committees. He
was at last engaged by a slate committee,
however, anil will address a meeting at
the stock yards to-morrow.
TWO MEETINGS AT OTTIMWA,
Tliey Extend an Ovntion to Palmer
and fluekner.
Ottumwa, la., Oct. 28.—One of the most
enthusiastic meetings of the present cam-
paign marked the visit to Ottumwa to-
night of the nominees of the national dem-
ocracy. General John M. Palmer and Gen-
eral S. B. BuokntT. The special train bear-
ing the distinguished leaders and their par-
ty reached here at G.2U this evening from
Creston. A big parade was held this even-
ing and the streets were packed with peo-
ple. Two meetings were held to-night, one
at the Grand and the other at the Turner
onera house. Both houses were crowded,
4000 people assembling at the two places
and many being unable to gam admittance.
At each house the reception giving the
standard bearers amounted to an ovation.
At the Grand, General Palmer spoke first.
To-morrow morning an informal reception
will be tendered the distinguished visitors,
after which they leave for the east.
CAIIL1SLH AT LOl ISY1LLE.
Speaks to the Lftpjfoit Audience of
the CamiMiiU'ii.
Louisville. Ky.. Oct. 28.—The stronghold
of the Kentucky gold standard democracy
fairly outdid Itself to-night. If Secretary
Carlisle has had cause to doubt the loyalty
of Kentucky he may readily have forgotten
it in the crowded reception to-night. No
larger crowd lias turned out here during
this eamiatign and no more brilliant gather-
ing has greeted any speaker in Louisville.
The extent of the demonstration was a sur-
prise to even the most enthusiastic admir-
ers of the great Kentuckian. The meeting
was set for s p. m., but by »! o'clock every
one of the 1500 seats of the Auditorium had
its occupant and by 7 the aisles and fover
wings were all full. The interior of the
great structure had more the appliance of
a grand opera night than of a political dem-
onstration.
The secretary has been in the city for the
past two days, preparing his address, and in
the main it followed the argumentative
lines of his previous speeches in this state
during the present campaign.
A Political Incident.
Minneapolis, Minn., Oct. 28.—Dr. E. T.
Gibson, a free silver man. yesterday hung
a large British Hag In his front window.
Underneath was a small American flag and
the inscription. "By consent of England."
Jle. claims that he was simply illustrating
the populist claims regarding the republi-
cans. His curiosity was satisfied, for in
less than an hour the street in front of his
office was a howling mob, and several
Grand Army of the Republic veterans pro-
cured a rope and pulled the British flag
down and destroyed it.
Crawford DIhoiInnimI.
St. Louis. Mo.. Oct. 28.—D. D. Crawford,
a prominent dry goods merchant of this
city, was arraigned in the court of criminal
I correction to-day to answer the charge of
j coercing and intimidating his employes in
j their tight of franchise. After hearing part
, of the testimony. Acting Judge Smith dls-
I charged the defendant on a technicality.
Wnt»on'n Heply to Butler.
Atlanta, Ga., Oct. 2S.—Hon. Thomas E.
Watson wired the Journal to-day In regard
to his letter of acceptance, acknowledged
by Senator Butler to have been received
Saturday night, after eight days of delay:
Thomson, Ga., Oct. us.--Yours received.
In reply would say my letter was mailed
from here October 14. with three 2-cent
postage stamps, directed to Hon. Marion
Butler, Washington. D. C. 1 do not care to

FOOTBALL PRACTICE.
The lloys Are llciutf Toughened at a
Great Hate.
King Wilhelm informed the sporting au-
thority of The News after prayer meeting
last night that he had twenty-five men out
for practice during the evening, and that
they were educating themselves for the
game, or.e week from Saturday, with the
Bryan farmers, by falling from the differ-
ent galleries of the Beach hotel. Some of
the men who have recently been learning
to ride a bicycle, threw themselves from
the third story without an abrasion of the
cuticle The men are all getting toughened
up, and by the time of the great game will
be able to walk all over the students,
studying soil and its products. It was
bruited about last night that King Wilhelm
was arranging a railroad collision as the
final test of the boys, and from those not
killed or too badly wounded the champion
eleven would be picked. •
The Thanksgiving day game has not been

try. the king of pacers, at the Belmont
track again demonstrated his superiority
in the world of horses by covering a mile
in under adverse circumstances, a
strong east wind blowing fully down the

before the wind started to blow, lie would
have equaled or probably beaten his world's
record.

DAY WITH M'KINLEY.
MAJOR M'KIM.EY A\D THE CAXTOX
TROOP EXCHANGE COM-
PLIMENTS.
Closing Day of the Fair.
Dallas, Tex., Oct. 28.—This was Dallas
day and closing day at the state fair, and
the rain interfered with the programme.
The parade tnls morning was a success,
but light showers this afternoon kept many
at home. However, about S000 people at-
tended. The excitement of a presidential
campaign, inclement weather, a short crop
and scarcity of money tended to keep down
gate receipts and the indications are that
there will be a small deficiency. Captain
Ricardo Pacheco, director of the Mexican
band, was presented with a magnificent
gold medal this afternoon by the officers of
the fair association as a testimonial of
their high regard and as a slight token of
their appreciation of the services rendered
by his band in making the fair a success.
Slept in Bryan's Room.
Fact and Fiction.
At the Clifton house in Chicago recently
a tall, lank southerner approached Room
Clerk Brady and inquired if he could be ac-
commodated with a room for the night. On
receiving a reply in the affirmative, he
said: "I am on my way to Mackinac
island, but I broke my journey on purpose
to stop at the hotel which gave shelter to
William J. Bryan on the dav of his nomi-
nation. If you can assign me to the room
he occupied and I can woo the goddess of
sleep in the same bed that supported the
godlike form of our next president, I shail
esteem myself a most fortunate Individual,
sah." Mr. Brady is the essence of cour-
tesy, and gave the southerner what he
wanted—room 13. 0
EXTRACTS FROM SPEECHES
Made by Major McKinley to Vinitio^
Delegations From Various l'arts
of the Country.
Canton, O., Oct. 2S.—'There was a tremor
in Major McKinley's voice this evening,
when, after repeated attempts. he respond-
ed to the home greetings of thousands of
his neighbors and fellow citizens. His door
yards and those of his neighbors were not
large enough for the crowd. For blocks In
every direction, street cars, trucks, deliv-
ery wagons and carriages blocked the
streets. An improvised platform at the
pavement's edge was used. Above this was
an arch of electric lights, resplendent with
the national colors. Business had been al-
most universally suspended at 4.30 o'clock
to allow the mercantile people and em-
ployes of their houses to participate. A
score of bands and drum corps in the city
volunteered their services and were dis-
tributed in the parude which directed to
the McKinley home. This demonstration
was the conclusion of an eventful day.
A carload of West Virginians came from
Wheeling and with them Lieutenant Gov-
ernor Richards of Stuibenvllle, O. They
called on the major and shook hands and
conversed with him in a social way. Major
McKinley in his addresses to Canton busi-
ness men and citizens said in part:
Great issu.es are involved in the pending
struggle. The people are aroused as never
before, and I believe that the election next
Tuesday will show a much larger vote
than was ever polled in the history of our
country. The arguments have been made,
the case is ready to go to the jury, and the
jury is waiting impatiently to announce its
verdict, and as republicans we confidently
submit our contest to the great tribunal of
the Americar people, the highest and best
hu>pe in the world. They will, I am sure,
give the most%mphatic indorsement of the
great principles of our government and de-
mand the continuance of our glorious insti-
tutions unimpaired and unthreatened,
which you have so nobly maintained in the
past. They will be true to their time-hon-
ored traits of a mighty people. They will
teach the world that they respect law and
order and that they believe in public peace
and not chaos. They will teach the world
that they will support the constituted au-
thorities. consecrated and sustained by
their own free will. They will show their
reverence for the courts of justice, their
devotion to the constitutional doctrine of
free government and their love of home
and family, education and morality.
Other Doings of the Day.
Canton, 0.> Oct. 28.—This morning's re-
ceptions at the McKinley home were
marked by some pointed references to
charges coupled with the coercion charge
made by Mr. Bryan concerning delegations.
The Canton troop, whose members for
months past, composed of old soldiers, bus-

visitors to the McKinley home, made a
social call. After introducing the members
of the troop individually to the governor.
Captain Harry Frease made the following
remarks: ,
Major McKinley. we have been accused
that what we have done in escorting dele-
gation* to your home was for mercenary
ourposes, and some even think they hear
the jingle of the money we received in our
pockets. (Laughter.) But I want to as-
sure you it has been purely a desire to
serve vou and the cause you represent,
and to'se.' that your callers from different
parts of the country should have proper
and efficient care. Another thing we can
assure you—we have no trouble to coax the
people to come here. (Applause.) We will
take this occasion to say that it will be our
pleasure to serve you In the same capac-
ity as long as these delegations continue
to come. We also wish to thank you most
heartily for the courtesy shown us from
the reviewing stand on every occasion, and
we w:• nt you to feel that you have at
least the friendship and desire on the part
of this troop that you may be as success-
ful now as you have been in the past.
Three cheers were given for McKinley.
Governor McKinley replied:
Gentlemen: 1 certainly appreciate your
kind sentiments and reciprocate them ful-
ly. I know you will be glad to le assured
that you have made a great impression
upon the people who have come to Canton
from all over the country. 1 am sure that
in no campaign in the past where there
have been delegations have the receptions
been so cordial and hearty as they have In
the city of Canton, through your efforts,
and I doubt if a delegation came here that
did not go away with a better opinion of
our city than when it came. It goes with-
out saying that I appreciate more than 1
can find words to express your splendid
loyalty.
To the Buffalo delegation Major McKin-
ley said: I thank you for the assuring
messages you bring to me from the city
of Buffalo and Erie county, in the great
Empire state. I am glad to meet you here
at my home, members of the republican
league of the Third congressional district,
and greet the central Italian club of the
city of Buffalo, born under a foreign sky.
but willing to step to the music of the
union and marehln« under the glorious
stars and stripes. 1 bid you welcome, ami
appreciate that your coming from such a
great distance and at such inconvenience
means that you are deeply and profoundly
concerned about the outcome or the elec-
tion which occurs next Tuesday. (Ap-
plause.) The republican party this year
has a most res)>onsible part to perform to
maintain the supremacy of the law and our
national credit, as in the past, i bid you
take back with you the message that Ohio
and the great west will with you unite in
making a victory that shall be significant
for the honor of our country, for the up-
holding of public law. for peace and tran-
quility, and against every proposition that
would debase or degrade the American
name or the American honor. (Great
cheering ami waving of hats.) 1 thank you
for tills visit. f
In his speech to the delegation of ladies
from Welisville, O., Major McKinley spoWe
In part as follows:
You have quite as much interest in the
good government and wise administration
of public offices as the men: you are just
as much affected by wise or unwise legis-
lation as the men themselves, and any
support you give Is always sure to be on
the right side. Among the many evidences
of encourag* ment I have received, stand-
ing as 1 do as the representative of a great
cause and party, there has been nothing
that has given me greater inspiration or
higher hope for the future than the feel-
ing that the women of the United States
were enlisted in the cause thut stands for
the good of our homes, our states and our
country.
In a short talk to the delegation from
Tyro, Crawford county, the major said:
No farmer who does not want the home
market restored. What the farmer needs
| after he is done his sowing, reaping and
threshing is a good market right at home,
and the only way to get it is to set at
work all the factories of this country, set
every wheel ir. motion, start the fires in
our furnaces and put all our Idle men to
work, and when you have done this you
have created the most magnificent market
the world ever had.
in his address to the delegation from
Minerva, O., Major McKinley spoke in part
as follows:
This year, my fellow citizens, we must
all have the true and genuine Ameriean
spirit. We have not had much of it since
the war, and we need it. We might just
as well settle this year for all time that
this is not a nation of repudiation, and we
propose to pay every obligation of the gov-
ernment In the best form of money known
to the civilized world at the time of pay-
ment. The fair name of this government
has never been besmirched and it never
will be. We do not propose to have the
I pensions granted by the government cut in
j two by false finance. My fellow citizens.
1 the hope of this country and Its future are
; in the uprising of the plain people In the
j plain homes, where virtue presides and
' truth reigns. You love tire things that are
good, and loving them, you are going to
vote for them, so they will bring honor
and glory to the country.
Reed in California.
Stockton. Cal., Oct. 28.—Thomas B. Reed,
accompanied by his daughter and party,
arrived this afternoon from Los Angeles.
He was met by a club composed of natives
of Maine, who escorted him to his hotel.
Crowds cheered the distinguished visitor
as he drove from the station.
At Modesta a large number of republi-
cans with a brass band met the train, but
Mr. Reed refused all requests for a speech.
In his earlier years Mr. Reed resided in
Stockton. This is his first visit to his
former home.
Republican Claiiu in Ohio.
Columbus, O.. Oct. 28.—Hon. C. L. Kurtz,
chairman of the Ohio republican executive
committee, last night sent the following
telegram to Hon. M. A. Hanna, chairman
of the republican national committee:
Columbus. O.. Oct. 27.—To Hon. M. A.
Hanna. Chairman Republican National
Committee. Chicago: Ohio will give Mc-
Kinley a larger majority than she ever
gave to a leading candidate on state or
national ticket, with the possible exception
of that given to Brough for governor in
1863. C. L. KURTZ, Chairman.
This is the first prediction which chair-
man Kurtz has made concerning the elec-
tion in Ohio. Numerous statements have
been attributed to him. but none of them
has been authentic. The magnitude of
the vote claimed by Mr. Kurtz can best be
understood when it is stated that two years
ago Hon. S. M. Taylor, republican candi-
date for secretary of state, received a ma-
jority of 04.000. his plurality being 137.00).
Brough's majority for governor in 1SG3 was
100.882. Mr. Kurtz says he does not care to
give any figures at this time, but may do
so before the election. It is figured that
the vote in the rural precincts will stand
about the same as last year, the cities and
towns rolling up the big majority for
Major McKinley.
f ate this afternoon the chief of police was
compelled to release the young prisoners,
after Mr. Bryan had written him a letter
ter asking fcr their release it was evident
that there would be no prosecution of the
prisoners. Word was received from both of
their families saying that the law could
take its course, as 110 part in the defense
would be taken by any of their relatives.
Hanna Claims Missouri.
Chicago. Ill,, Oct. 28.—"From information
we have received from nearly all the coun-
ty chairmt n of Missouri," said Chairman
Hanna. "wo feel confident of the election of
the governor and a majority of the ticket,
and full;/ believe we will have a chance of
carrying the state for McKinlev. The
change of sentiment there is remarkable
and that state, which for a time leaned
strongly toward Bryan, will very probably
be found in the McKinley column on elec-
tion day. a republican United States sena-
tor will be surely elected this winter."

Latter Hitinbiirdod Artemliin and
I'roNNeri the Trocltn.
Jacksonville. Fin., Oct. 28.—A special to
the Citizen from Key West says:
Passengers by the Mascatte from Ha-
vana repot t that General Antonio Maceo
with 2f.OO troops broke through the trocha
and is now in the Havana district. He
went over to assist General Gomez in his
march to Havana. Maceo left General Rl-
os In charge of his troops in the province
of Pinar del Rio, with 10,000 men in the In-
surgent stronghold. The report that th*
Spanish trcops had captured his camp was
true, but it was the place where the Insur-
gents were awaiting a favorrble opportun-
ity to cross the trocha, and after Maceo
had broken camp General Monez of the
Spanish army, with 1000 men, made an at-
tack cn Maceo on the hill known as Caca-
rajlcaras. Maceo in the meantime retreated
by the rear of his ca:np with his forces and
attacked the town of Artemlsa.
Maceo sent orders into the town for tho
women and children to leave before the
bombardment between the trcops, but the
commander refused to allow them to leave,
saying they should also perish. Maceo then
bombarded the town, passing through the
trocha to the province of Havana, where
he is now. to meet Gomez.
Monez attacked the hill where he tlfought
Maceo was and only found a small detach-
ment of insurgents on the hills, while Ma-
ceo attacked the trocha. The town of Ar-
temlsa was terribly wrecked and many per-
sons reported killed.
\n Interview With Weyler.
New York, Oct. A dispatch to the
Herald from Havana says:
In an interview General Weyler was
asked by your correspondent last night:
"What do you think about the prospects
of putting down the insurrection in tho
provlm-e of Plnar del Rio?"
Tho general replied that he thought the
chances were excellent for the complete
success of the Spanish army In that prov-
ince. He had been of this opinion for some
time, he said, and the recent victories of
General Munoz at <'acarra facta and of
General Arolas at Artemlsa had only eon-
llrmed him in his belief ot freeing this
province of all insurgents.
"Is it a fact that you have decided to
take the Held in person, General Weyler?"
asSked your correspondent.
''There Is nothing absolutely decided on
that subject. Here In Havana I am In
telegraphic connection with my generals
everywhere and can direct the movement
of all my forces. Here I can follow tho
course of events, both political and or-
dinary. I also believe that my best work
could be done here. Here I can better di-
rect operations: here I have in my hands
the control of the telegraphs, heliographs,
railroads and sleam:!il:is In fact every-
thing which can further my efforts to bring
the war to a ( lose, once In the Held my
scope would be limited to that of a com-
mander of an army corps. Still, if the exi-
gencies of the situation should. In my
opinion, demand my taking the tield. I shail
not hesitate to do so, nut any definite state-
ment to that effect is, to say the least,
premature."
Replying to a question about the pro-
ceedings against the Competitor prisoners,
General Weyler explained that at present
simply a prellmlnar.s hearing had been ac -
corded. the nature ot which would not be
made public. When the military tribunal
should begin the regular inquiry the testi-
mony taken, the general said, would be
given out.
Try Inu to Corral Mneeo.
New York, Oct. 2S. Senor Dupuy de
Lome, the Spanish minister now In this
city, has received an ofllcial cable from the
duke of Tetuun. minister of state at Mad-
rid. which confirms in toto the Associated
Press reports of Monday on the engage-
ment at Carganta Gorda. In explanation
of the duke <>f Tetuan's cablegram, it may
be well to siate that the fa I and winter
campaign against Maceo and his command
was planned in Havana, and an active cam-
paign is intended to dislodge Maceo from
the mountains in that part of Pinar del Rio
and drive him toward an open plain beyond
the mountains beyond which Is the new
trocha. made impassable by the Spaniards.
The recent attack by Maceo and his fruit-
less attempt to cross the trocha are known.
The many dying cclumns, backed by moun-
tain artillery, are constantly harrassing
him. The report that he had crossed the
trocha with his army and joined the rebels
In central Cuba is pronounced in official
circles to be wholly unfounded. Maceo and
his command are in Pinar del Rio, hemmed
In by the Spanish army.

county savings bank of Rig Rapids Is em-

It will not open to-morrow. President
Comstock refuses to talk, it Is believed
the assets will equal the liabilities
Washington, Oct. 28.—In answer to the
state department's circular calling for in-
formation as to money and wages In for-
eign countries. United States Minister
Breckinridge^ at St. Petersburg has submit-
ted a very elaborate report on the Russian,
financial system and its workings. He
shows that the standard for many years
has been fluctuating paper, measured ex-
ternally In terms of gold. The per capita
circulation is about $5. In circulation the
government has $1,055,000,000 including gold,
$5,00u,00u; silver, $25,000,000, and subsidiary
coin, sliver and copper, 90.000.01H) roubles.
The coinage of silver on private account
was stopped in isys. and an extensive re-
demption scheme is about to be put Into
operation, to carry out which the govern-
ment has accumulated a sum of gold
about equal to 5o0.0U0.000 gold roubles. The
paper rouble, now valued at 67 cents gold,
wnl be receivable in a special gold coin of
the same value. Silver will be given a
large lield ot employment, but its coinage
will be upon the account of the govern-
ment, and it whl be kept at par with gold.
Concerning the practical effect of the ex-
isting currency on manufacturing indus-
tries and the rates of labor, the minister
submits data which be say* will enable the
subject to be viewed from different points
•of view. Manufacturers have been stimu-
lated by a protective tariff, as well as by
the ability of the manufacturers to pay
their workmen approximately the old scale
ot wages In the cneaper money of the pres-
ent system. StII! the growth of manufac-
tures, while considerable, has not been as
marked as would be expected from these
advantages, though. In times most con-
genial 10 the people, the growth and
prollts were enormous, 'l'he ' workmen,
however, did not participate appreciably
in the benefits bestowed upon these In-
dustries. Not a word is heard 'favorable to
the condition of agriculture; the universal
testimony is of extreme depression, and
the wages of the agricultural laborers have
had In the nwun a downward tendency. As
to factory wages, the minister, after sub-
mitting copious official tables, remarks
that wages In Russia have undergone lit-
tle or no change for thirty years, and'
that there is 110 record of their being af-
fected by the general changes In the pur-
chasing power of the paper rouble—the
medium of payment, it may be assumed
that, had Russian labor been organized as
in the tJnitul States, it at least would
have struggled to change the scale to cor-
respond wuh the change in the value of
money, but there has been 110 struggle and
no change. Wages in England and America
are respectively 124 and per cent higher
than in Russia and the latter salaries are
still further reduced by lints imposed upon
workmen.
In conclusion. Mr. Breckinridge said:
"Russia as a nation, during a long period
of peace, bus grown steadily In population
and wealth, how much faster she might
have grown and how much more equally tho
products of labor might have been distrib-
uted had she enjoyed durir.g all this period
a good currency conforming to a stable
standard of value, and had the channels of
both domestic and foreign trade been less
deflected from their natural laws and
sources. Is a matter of speculation into
which I do not,enter. Nor do I attempt to
say to what extent the failure of depreciat-
ed currency to transmit its expansion to
the vast Interests enumerated would prevail
In our colintry."
Civil Service l.nw Violation*.
Washington, Oct. 28.—There are a score or
more cases of complaints of political as-
sessments against employes and federal of-
ficers now on file awaiting the action of tho
civil service commission. In practically all
of these cases correspondence has been go-
ing on between the commission and parties
interested where violation of the civil ser-
vice law took ulace. Most of the charges
affect officers In the west, th kIi there Is
a relatively large number In th east. All
the cases will be considered by the com-
mission as soon as possible, and a lest case
for the vindication of the civil service laws
