*
Fro of Positive That Bryan Is Not the Tool
of Silver Miners—They Have Raised a
Fund of Two Hundred Thousand Dollars,
but Chairman Jones Gets None—Goes to
Dissemination of Silver Literature*
Chicago, Sept. 10.—When Mr. Irish
of California, ungallantly called Mr.
Bryan a commercial traveller for a great
syndicate of silver miners he put it into
the head of H. H. Kohlsaat, proprietor
of the Chicago Times-Harald, to investi
gate the subject. But, although that
newspaper asserts that a campaign fund
of $500,000 has been raised by the silver
mine millionaires, no proof of the fact
has yet been produced.
Chaiman Jones denounces the story
as a malicious lie. Mr. Stevens, the
acting chairman of the national Silver
party, who is said to be the custodian of
this immense contribution, also denies
the tale.
! It is said that when Governor Alt
geld was in Colorado recently he in
duced David H. Moffatt, the Denver
banker and mineowner, to raise the
$500,000 fund. Great pains have been
taken to trace this matter, and it ap
pears that no such fund has been turned
over to the Democratic national com
mittee or is at its disposal.
The plain truth is that the Bryan na
t onal committee is bankrupt. Chair
man Jones sent personal appeals to the
silver mineowners, asking them, on the
ground of their personal interests, to
fry out a little fat. But the mountain
millionaires refused to make him their
agent in using money.
i Poverty In Party’s Headquarters.
A fund has been raised by the mine
owners, and there is little doubt that
Mr. Stevens, chairman of the Silver
party committee, has control of it.
Twelve men agreed to contribute $200.-
000. The total fund was to b j made up
by a levy on 125 men.
Chairman Jones says that the Demo
cratic national committee has received
no large fund from the silver mine own
ers. Poverty broods in the party’s
headquarters in Chicago; all the state
committee are in distress.
But what of the great free silver lit
erary bureau in Washington, which
sends out an average of 500,000 docu
ments a day to the voters of this coun
try? Whois paying for this? It costs
money to handle political literature on
* scale like this.
Chairman Jones is in such close straits
for money that he cannot come to the
relief of the state committees in Illinois
or Indiana, where two decisive battles
of the campaign must be fought.
The Biyan state committee in Indi
ana is already in debt. The s ute com
mittee in Illinois has not received more
than $3,000 up to this time.
Yet while these organizations appeal
in to the national committee for i
help, 500,000 documents a day are
shipped from Washinton and free silver
money pays f<y them.
BRYAN IN ASHEVILLE.
The Committee In Charge Preparing Fci
a Big Day.
Asheville. N. C., Sept. 10.— The cen
tral committee, composed of Messrs. S.
F. Chapman, John Y. Jordan and R. P.
Walker, is busily engaged in planning,
to make Bryan day—the sixteenth—the
biggest day in Buncombe’s history.
These gentlemen have announced the
various committees for that day. All
these committees are expected to report
to and be under the direction of the cen
tral committee, and the members of the
latter will bo ex-officio members of all
committees.
Menders of all committees will be in
troduced to Mr. Bryan at the Batters
Park hotel, Mr. Bryan being Propriety
McKissick’s guest during his stay here
The ladies’ committee will be an
noun ed as soon as it is learned whether
Mrs. Bryan will accompany Mr. Bryan.
The place of speaking will be made
known as soon as the central committee
makes the selection.
ALAS FOR VIRGINIA.
Hanna to Fnrnlnli *IOO,OOO For a Cam
paign Suii.l,
Richmond, Sept. 10.—The Democratic
managers assert that the Republicans
and the gold standard Democrats have
a campaign fund of SIOO,OOO which is to
be used in this state. They profess to
be able to show that this fund has been
assured by Hanna’s national committee
and certain large corporate interests.
It is intimated that this money is to be
used in part on election officers and in
somewhat similar ways. The idea is,
upon the pretense of compensating these
officials for seeing that a fair election is
held in the big negro districts, such offi
cials may be indirectly improperly in
fluenced.
The Virginia campaign promises to be
red hot from now on to the day of elec
tion. Ex-Governor William E. Came

ment in the state issue of 1881, and Sen
ator John W, Daniel. who stood for r-av-

CHAUNCEY M. DEPEW.
He Will Not Resign His Place For
Political Honors.
j New York, Sept. 10.—The World
says: Chauncey M. Depew was asked
as to the truth of a report that there
I was friction between him and W. K.
Vanderbilt, and that! in the event of
McKinley’s election he would resign
the presidency of the New Y >rk Cen
tral to accept a cabinet or diplomatic
position. Mr. Depew said:
| “The whole story is untrue, from be
ginning to end. At periods of six
months, for the last five years, similar
reports have been set in circulation. My
friends have discovered on every occa
sion that they emanated from Wall
street or Chicago and were started gen
erally for the purpose of affecting the
market. Mr. Cornelius Vanderbilt is
rapidly regaining his health, and I am
going to see him. During his brother’s
illness William K. Vanderbilt has as
sumed the position he occupied in refer
ence to certain propeqties before he be
■ came ill. My relations with them are
most cordial.
“I have no political ambition. These
reports used to annoy me, but I pay no
attention to them now.”

prospect of a meeting between Corbett
and Fitzsimmons. At Union Square
hotel, Mr. Julian, Fitzsimmons’ mana
ger, will challenge James J. Corbett.
On this occasion a banquet will be given
the representatives of the press. The

KANSAS' CITY KICKS.
Appeal* to Courts to Stop Unjust Discrimi
nation by Kail roads.
Topeka,Kan., Sept., 10. —The strained
relations existing for some time between
Kansas City grain merchants, elevator
and milling men and the railroads has
culminated in an open warfare. Hon.
C. A. Hutchins, one of the attorneys
for the graii men, has filed in the cir
cuit court of the United States two bills
in equity, one against the Santa Fe and
the other against the Missouri Pacific
company, charging that the railroads
are violating the interstate commerce
act and asking for an injunction or
relief.
The other is brought in behalf of 50
corporations and copartnerships, en
gaged in the grain, elevator and milling
business in Kansas City, Kan. It is
charged that Kansas City is unjustly
discriminated against and subjected o
unreasonable prejudice and disadvant
age, and that undue advantage is ac
corded to Chicago, St. Louis and other
markets.

Did He Murder Her?
Dayton, 0., Sept. 10.—Chief of Po
lice Farrell says that two men, whose
names he refuses to give, have come to
him and told him that they have per
sonal knowledge that Albert Franz
murdered Bessie Little, whom he had
betrayed and that they will give evi
dence in the trial. He says further
more that he has clear corroborative
testimony supporting the direct evi
dence of these two unknown witnesses.
The murder took place in less than one
hour after she left her boardinghouse

New Orleans, Sept. 10.—The Union
National bank, 624 and 626 Canal street,
has closed its doors. Henry Masnero,
president; James J. Tarleton, cashier.
The capital stock of the bank was only
$200,000 and its line of deposits very
small. It has been regarded as weak
for a long time. The bank is said to
have sufficient securities to liquidate its
enti e indebtedness. Wednesday a ru
mor was in circulation that the bank
was about to go into liquidation, though
the directors had not taken any action
on the subject. They have now con
cluded to wind up the business. * It is
stated that the leading banks of this
city hold incash assets an amount which
is twice as large as that usual at this
season of the year and are perfectly
sound financially.
GOT ONE THOUSAND
Bold Robbery of ths Southern Express
Company.
AT THOMASVILLE WEDNESDAY NIGHT
The Thieves Only Got Half the
Boodle
DETECTIVES ARE CHAS NG THEM.
It Was the Work of Shrewd and Skillful
Burglars Who Went in Through the
Front Boor and Found the Safe Key
and Thus Got Into the Safe and Carried
Off the Cash.
Thomasville, Sept. 10.—The office
of the Southern Express company in
this city was robbed last night of
SI,OOO. ihe thieves entered through
the front door and found the safe key
that was left in the office. The safe
contained $2,000, but only one pack
age containing SI,OOO was taken, the
burglars having been frightened away
probably before the second package
was discovered.
The burglary and robbery was one
of the coolest and most daring crim
inal acts ever committed in this sec
tion of Georgia. There are hundreds
of theories as to the culprits, but as
yet there is no clue. The most plausi
ble theory is that the robbery was
committed, not by professionals, but
by some one who knew identically the
situation of all the office furnishings
as was familiar with the doors and
windows. This theory is advanced
because the key to the safe was taken
from the drawer at the safe quietly
entered without any effect to disturb
anything else in the room.
The office is under the Savannah
divison and officers of the express
company will arrive tonight to thoro
ughly investigate. It is understood
that some of the best detectives in
the employ of the company will be
detailed in the case.
News of the robbery has created a
tremendous sensation here. Many
people believe there is an organized
band of robbers working the city
while others do not hold to that belief
SHORT COTTON CROP.
September Condition the LnwjHt Reached
In Twenty-Seven Years.
Washington, Sept. 10.—The cctton
report of the department of agricult
ure for September shows a decline from
the August condition of the crop, which
was 80.1 to 64 2 per cent, a decline of
15.9 points. This is the lowest Sep
tember condition reported in the last 27
years.
The state averages are as follows:
Virginia, 60; North Carolina, 70; South
Carolina, 70; Georgia, 71; Florida, 72;
Alabama, 66; Mississippi, 61;
60; Texas, 62; Arkansas, 60; Tennessee,
61; Missouri, 61; Indian Territory, 60;
Oklahoma, 65.
There has been a general decline in
the condition of the cotton crop through
out the cotton belt in the past month.
A few counties and parishes in Missis
sippi and Louisiana report fairly good
crops, but ihe complaint is almost flni
versal that the excessive hot and dry
weather and heat caused the plant to
shed leaves, blooms and bolls and that
where rains ha ve fallen they have come
too late to become of material benefit.
The plant has consequently matured
prematurely and bolls have opened so
rapidly that the crop is being gathered
earlier than for many years.
Some counties report that the crop
will all be harvested by Oct. 1, others
by the middle of October. A few coun
ties in Mississippi report damage to open
cotton by heavy rains.
The staple is much lighter than usual
in consequenca of drouth aud heat and
the shedding of leaves and bolls will re
sult in material damage to the yeld of
the crop.
STORM IN NEW ENGLAND.
Northeast Gale Sweeps the Coast and Does
Considerable Damage,
Boston, Sept. 10. The northeast
storm which swept the New England
coast Wednesday night has not passed,
although the force is somewhat less.
The wind comes in heavy gusts. The
rain does not cease and the observer at 1
the station says it may not clear before
night. Considerable damage has been
done along the water front by the com
bined action of the heavy rain and the
unusually high tide which prevailed
during the night. Many cellars were
flooded along the wharves and low lying
streets were swamped.
Reports from New England coast :
cities indicate that considerable damage •
was done. From island points comes
stories of much damage to crops and
fruit trees. The latter suffered most (
severely on account of the high winds.
The damage in this respect will be quite
heavy.
Woman Held Por Murder.
Denver, Sept. 10.—Warren D. White- ,

Wednesday night under circumstances (
which caused the arrest of Whitehead’s ,
wife on suspicion of murder. They
were drinking beer at Whitehead’s
house. Mrs. Whitehead declined to im
bibe and soon afterwards the others be
gan to show symptoms of poisoning and
died in great agony. 1
'MEETS HARRISBURG
State Democratic Convention. Will
Fill Vacancies.
CAPTAIN TOHN B. KEENAN SPEAKS
It Meets For the Purpose of
Filling
VACANCIES IN ELECTORAL TICKET
He Was One of the Delegates at Chicago
Who Refused to Obey the Mandates of
the State Delegation Caucus—Says East
ern Democrats Are Organized For the
Election of McKinley.
Harrisburg, Sept. 10.—The Demo
cratic state convention reconvened for
the purpose of filling vacancies on the
electoral ticket created by the with
drawal after the Chicago convention of
about one-third of the electors selected
at the Allention convention on April 29.
There was a good attendance and the
silver men were in complete control.
When the convention was called to
order, Captain John B. Keenan of West
moreland, who had been agreed upon
as temporary and permanent chairman,
said:
“In beginning, 1 should, perhaps,
apologize to the convention for disobey
the orders of the caucus at Chicago and
voting for Bryan. The Chicago con
vention not only changed a great many
men’s minds on the currency question,
but it also changed the minds of a great
many men on other questions.
We in the east believed that the star
of Democracy was ascendant. We found
at Chicago that the Democrats of the
west and south were courageous and
patriotic men of the country. We found
the eastern Democrats assembled for '
the purpose of accomplishing the elec- |
tion of McKinley. Their friends make
the pretense that they are in favor of
bimetallism. This is a fraudulent pre- !
tense, however, as the speaker advocates
bimetallism and no date is fixed when '
bimetallism is to take effect. On the '
other hand the Democratic party de- .
dares freely and frankly for the free
and unlimited coinage of silver and
offered to the people a definite plan for
the improvement of the financ al condi
tion, which is worse today than at any
time for 50 years. [Cheers].
Mr. Keenan also said:
“If the Populists of the south and
west are good enough for the Republi
cans to combine I believe the Pop
ulists of the north and east are good
enough for the Democrats to combine
with.
“I want to see the common enemy
fought with the most effective weapons. I
and I therefore believe the position of
the Democrats in Pennsylvania will be
strengthened with the fusion with the
Populists, which is now offered us.
[Cheers.]
“Before election day comes, the gold
men of Pennsylvania, irrespective of
party, will be united on one ticket in
every close congressional contest, and I
therefore urge that the silver men do I
likewise. This will result, I know, in
carrying many doubtful districts for the
cause of silver. ” [Cheers].
GOLD WITHDRAWALS.
u.
Loudou Now Exercised on the Subject and
Advances Exchange Kates.
London, Sept. 10. The Evening
Standard says that unexpected raising 1
of the bank of Eugland rate to 2>£ per j
cent, for the first time since Feb. 22,
1894, that there has been a change, fore
shadows further gold withdrawals and
has created considerable surprise on the
Stock Exchange. The markets, in con
sequence, The Evening Standard adds,
were all flat. In conclusion The Stand
ard remarks: "It is too early to say the
effect of the advance export movement
was a direct consequence of a drop of
% consols.”
The Westminster Gazette says that
the advance of the bank rate was purely
a precautionary measure, evident from
the bank returns showing the reserve to
be about the same as on the correspond
ing date of 1895. The Westminster Ga
zette adds:
“It is generally recognized in the
market that the action of the directors
was wise and hopes are entertained that
it will check somewhat the export of
gold. The advance had an adverse ef
fect on the Stock Exchange, but it is not
likely to be permanent unless the with
drawal of gold continues to such an ex
tent as to force a more appreciable ad
vance of the bank rate.
“Americans opened weak and have
further fallen owing to the idea that an
advance may check the outflow of gold
to the United States.”
The withdrawals of gold from the
bank of England were £396,000-in Amer
ican eagles and £60,000 in bars, a total
£456,000.
GAS EXPLOSION.
One Ilan Fatally and Four Others Seri

St. Louis, Sept. 10.—One man fatally

PALMER’S SILVER RECORD.
The Files of His Paper Published lu 1878
Produced.
| Springfield, Ills., Sept. 10.—General
| Palmer, discussing the silver editorials
, in the State Register in 1878, then his
paper, said:
“The Register in those days was a
■ good paper, a mighty good sheet. We
I generally printed facts and stuck to
I them. News of all natures were han-
I died in an up-tq-date fashion. Our edi
. torials were not for free silver; we had
( no silver question; it was coin, both
i gold and silver. We were not advo
; eating free silver, simply fighting green
| backs.
I "I cannot say right now what I be
i lieve about those editorials, as I would
I have to hunt them up and read them all
over before ' could say anything about
| them. I have no doubt that the persons
! copying them are garbling tfcem, using
I what they desire and leaving out the
! rest, which, if the entire edition was
| used, might place an entirely different
aspect upon the result. However, the
paper was a good one, and I held on to
it so long as I could, and then let go.
“When my name was presented at
the Indianapolis convention I said to
my wife: ‘Can I afford to go into this,
i even for principle and barren honors,
and be subject to abuse, maltreatment
and a partisan press?’ She replied:
•Don’t take it, don’t take it.’ I see
they have commenced their fight upon
me already. I will stand their fire and
not flinch.”
ALASKAN GOLD FIELDS.
Canadians and Americans Clash Over the
Boundary Line as Now Surveyed.
Washington, Sept. 10.—There is a
strong probability that unless more haste
is exercised by the state department in
j beginning an actual settlement of the
| Alaskan boundary question serious com
plications may result between the United
States and great Britain.
The action of the Canadian surveyors
last week in so locating the 141 s merid
-1 ian as to throw 200 gold mines, includ
ing the richest placer mines of Alaska,
' contained in a strip from three to eight
' miles wide, into Canadian territory, is
likely at any time to precipitate such a
conflict of authority as cannot be ig
nored by the home governments.
These miues are operated by Ameri
cans, thousands of whom have gone to
the Alaskan fields since the discovery of
gold, aud they will not readily submit
to the stricter rules and regulations pre
-1 scribed by the mounted police, who will
not attempt to take charge of the dis
puted territory on the strength of the
: report made by Surveyor Ogilvie that
1 the land is on the Canadian side.
| The officials of the state department
do not in any degree recognize Ogilvie’s
survey as in any way binding upon the
United States, and no concessions will
be made upon the strength of his con
clusions.
Tom Watson In Kansas*
Erib, Kan., Sept. 10. —Thomas E.
Watson, candidate for vice president on
the Populist ticket, was the central fig
ure at the town fair here. Mr. Watson
is accompanied by H. W. Reed, Popu
list national committeeman, who, it is
said, is here to talk to the anti-Populist
managers and make more reasonable
terms for Watson’s chances in Kansas.
John W. Briedenthal, chairman of the
Kansas Populist state central commit
, tee, reached this city about a half hour
before the vice presidential candidate
’ was booked to make a speech and had
an interview with him. The result of
the interview is not known, but as Pop
ulist leaders in Kansas generally are
supposed to be opposed to Watson cam
paigning in this state, Breidenthal’s
mission is stated to be in the interest of
harmonizing any interest that might
prove detrimental to the Democratic-
Populist ticket.
Well Known Comedian Dead.
New Yorn, Sept. 10.—James Lewis,
the comedian long connected with Daly’s
company, died at West Hampton, L. I.
Mr. Lewis was 55 years of age. His
demise was caused by heart trouble,
but he had been in fairly good health
until within a few days. His last en
gagement, which closed three days ago.
was at Daly’s London theatre, where
he played Quattles in Augustin Daly’s *
comedy, “Love on Crutches.” He ar
rived in America on Saturday week,
and seemingly in good health. Lewis ,
was married to a Boston lady. He!

inhaling gas. When found Oberwarth
had in his mouth one end of a rubber !
tube, the other end of which was fast- J
ened to a gas burner which was turned

History
' WHEN THE BRITISH WERE DEFEATED
Centennial Celebration of Perry’s Great
Victory on Lake Erie Fittingly Observed
In Cleveland— Addresses by Prominent
Men—Battle Reproduced lu Fire Works
on the Lake Front.
Cleveland, Sept. 10. Beautiful
weather greeted Perry’s victory day and
the closing day of the centennial cele
bration. City hall, business houses and
many manufacturing concerns were
closed. Long before the hour for cere
monies to begin the streets were filled
with enormous crowds of people. Dur
ing the early morning hours the con
stantly arriving excursion trains from
all over northern Ohio brought many
thousands of victors to the city. The
celebration of Perry’s victory day was
begun at 5:30 o’clock in the morning,
and by the firing of the national salute
of 45 guns. At 8:30 a. m. there was a
reception to Governor Lippett and staff
of Rhode Island and other distinguished
visitors. An hour later exercises at the
Central Armory commenced, when, fol
lowing various selections of music,
Mayor Robert E. McKisson introduced
Governor Bushnell of Ohio, as the pres
ident of the day.
After an address by Governor Bush
nell and prayer by Rev. John Mitchell,
Governor Charles Lippitt of Rhode Is
land delivered an oration. He was fol
lowed by ex-United States Senator M.
C. Butler of South Carolina, a nephew
of Commodore Perry. Rev. Dr. O. E.
Manchester, a third cousin of Commo
dore Perry, made the closing prayer.
In the afternoon a great civic and in
dustrial pageant took place, in which
many thousands of people took part.
The parade was one of the most inter
esting and attractive ever witnessed in
this city. It was in three sections—
military, civic and industrial. The bat
tle of Lake Erie, which has immortal
ized the name of Oliver Hazard Perry,
was produced on the lake front in the
evening and a sham battle and pyrotech
nical display will be the grand feature
of the centennial celebration.
BANK ROBBER ARRESTED.
Draws a Big Revolver But Is Overpowered
by the Officer.
San Francisco. Sept. 10.—John. Mc-
Carthy, alias Bigelow, was arrested for
complicity in the attempt to tunnel into
the vaults of the First National bank of
Los Angeles some five mouths ago.
When arrested McCarthy drew a big
revolver and presented it at the officer
who followed him, much to the conster
nation of the other passengers on the
street car when McCarthy was arrested,
who, not understanding the situation,
restrained both men. After a desperate
struggle lasting several minutes, Mc-
Carthy was overpowered and hand
cuffed. The police officers are very re
ticent abdht their prisoner, but they are
acting upon the belief that McCarthy’s
was the master mind which engineered
the plan to rob the Los Angeles bank.
How many men were in the gang the
Los Angeles police were unable to as
certain, but they believe the number
was close to a dozep.
The planning was done in San Fran
cisco and the directions sent out from
here, it is said, by two noted crooks,
Mathoney and Richardson. When the
police discovered what was goiug on
they notified every bank aud every store
in the city that the robbery of a bank
was expected and warned them to take
extra precautions to see that their
vaults were solid. The police believe
that the prisoner is sometimes known
as Mat Heley and that he was affiliated
with an organization and that his band
of bandits recently attempted to hold
up the overland express at Sacramento.
New York, Sept. 10.—Colonel Pattie
Watkins, one of the leaders of Balling
ton Booth’s rebellious organizations,
the Volunteers, was married in Car
negie hall to her secretary and type
writer, Captain Fred Lindsay. In the
ceremony he promised to obey her, but
she did not make the same promise co
him. The bridegroom played the small
est phrt in the great hallelujah met -
ing before a crowd that completely
filled the hall. It was the first wedding
in the new organization.
Affecting Gold Imports.
New York, Sept. 10.—The action of
the bank of England in advancing its
minimum discount rate % to per
cent, thereby militating against pros
pective gold imports to this country, to
gether with lower London prices, caused
a decidedly weak opening in the local
stock market.
