Republicans March Through the
Streets of New York.
ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND IN LINE
A Lavish Display of Fl»gs and Bunting on
All Sides—UualiteM Practically Sus
pended During the Day—The Greatest
Political Deiuoustration In the Historj
of the < ity.
New York, Oct. 81.—Probably nevei
lu the history of political campaigning
* in this city have the streets of New
York presented a brighter or more ani
mated aspect than they wore Saturday,
the occasion being the parade of the Re
publican organizations in honor of the
party’s presidential nominees, McKin
ley and Hobart. Practically no busi
ness was done in the mercantile estab
lishments. the interest in the mammoth
demonstration obliging those even whc
were not in sympathy with the Repub
lican cause to suspend operations for the
■day. The parade was to have begun at
9:30 a. m., but owing to the great num
„, ber comprising it there was considerable
delay getting under way. Hours and
hours before there was any chance of
the advance guard of the great parade
appearing, the sidewalks on either side
of the streets named in the line ol
march, were scarcely passible. At points
where the rev.ewing stands had been
•erected, people congregated in ever
widening circles. -The street cars were
stopped early and drivers of wagons
found that they had to make lengthy
detours to reach their destinations.
But it was downtown, along Broad
way and the streets that stretched east
and west for a mile, that the crush was
greatest. It was in this section where
the 125,600 paraders gathered that the
first realization came of how gigantic
a gathering it was.
Just before the start everything
seemed confusion. The onlookers from
the thousands of buildings wondered
how the paraders and the spectators
■could ever be separated. The multi
tude that jammed Broadway from the
buildings’ lines was like life which
moved from side to side, swept down
obstacles and obliterated the familiar
sight of the show windows.
' City Gayly pecorated.
Along the route of the big parade,
from the Battery to Fortieth street,
there was a lavish display of flags and
bunting. The spectacle presented on
Broadway and Fifth avenue exceeded
anything of the kind ever witnessed in
this city. Myriads of American flags of
all sizes and thousands of yards of
bunting, tastefully arrayed, fluttered in
• ■ the breeze from windows and doorways
of buildings along the line of march.
At short intervals huge flags bearing
the name of McKinley and Hobart, and,
in some instances, appropriate legends
’ hung on wires stretched across the
. street. Each of these flags represented
‘ the organizations of business men and
some of the legends were:
•‘Law and Order,” *sFor Honor and
Prosperity.” “The National Honor Must
Be Preserved,” “A Nation’s Credit Is a
Nation’s Life,” "One Hundred Oents
In the Dollar.”
A noticeable feature of the decora
tions was the absence of pictorial politi-,
■cal banners and transparencies, which
formed so conspicuous a part of the
decorations in former campaigns. Only
occasionally there was a picture of one
or both of the Republican candidates
exhibited, and then it was invariably
framed in flags. The resources of the
) dag and buntingmakers in this and
neighboring cities were taxed to the ut
most to supply the orders that poured in.
Profusion of Flag*.
One large dealer estimated that not
less than half a million dollars had been
spent by the business men of New York
in decorating their establishments.
Broadway was a vista of flags. The
■draperies on the big office buildings in
the lower part of Broadway were in
t many instances very elaborate and ex
’ pensive, some of the deccgations costing
as much as SI,OOO. At least one church
on the line of march was decorated.
This was the Marble Collegiate church,
at the corner of Fifth avenue and
Twenty-ninth street, over the main en
trance of which were draped two silk
flags.
Speaking of the profusion of flags, a
dealer said:
“I have been 40 years in the business
■of making flags and bunting and I never
.saw so great a demand for my. goods as
has existed within the past few days.
-.1 should say that not less than 500,000
American flags were waving in New
York at this moment. Many of these
flags are 40 80 feet and cost as much as
S4O each. There are not less 300 flag
dealers in this city and npt one of them
has been able to fill the orders they have
received. They have been applying to
one another for material and help, have
drawn upon the resources of dealers in
neighboring cities, but in spite of our
efforts, thousands of persons who were
anxious to decorate have been unable to
obtain flags or bunting.”
GOLD MEN’S FINAL RALLY.
Last M*etln< of the Brooklyn Palmer-
Iluok nori tea Atklreaaed by Cock ran.
v New York, Oct. 31.—W. Bourke
Cockran spoke at the Academy of Music,
Brooklyn, to an audience of 4,000 per
sons. It was the final rally of the gold
standard campaign in Brooklyn. Mr.
Cockran said among other things:
"The garb of philosophy, which acted
as an extinguisher upon the Populistic
enthusiasm of Mr. Bryan’s followers in
August, has been discarded during his
progress across the couutiy and he has
thrown aside his mantle of philosophy
and h s donned the red cap of revolu
tion
"Have you ever heard a Populistic
speech that did not say it was time for
us to see if we could establish a finan
cial system of our own, independent of
any other country under the sun? That
is a pretty attractive phrase. How is it
to be accomplished, and how is it to be
established, this financial independence
1 -of Great Britain? I could have financial
independence of any person or country
1 witn wnom we trauo. it 1 owe a man
| nrflney he can’t be independent of me
if he tries, and if he owes me money I
cannot be independent of him, even if I
would like to. True financial indo
pendence would mean financial isola
tion.
"I wonder whether Mr. Bryan would
find it to his advantage and conducive
to his prospects of election to return to
his Nebraska neighbors with wheat
jumping up to one dollar a bushel, ad
vise them that it is the part of patriot
ism to maintain their independence of
I Great Britain and refuse to sell any
wheat in the Liverpool warket.
“Mr. Bryan says that the Populist
notion of financial independence is to
maintain us permanently on a basis of
financial inferiority. The Democrats
and Republicans alike who love their
country insist that it is within the
power of thefe>pleof this republic to
establish a financial greatness which
will overshadow that of Great Britain.
“We believe that as the great repub
lic of antiquity accomplished the mili
tary conquest of the world, it is the des
tiny of this modern republic, greater
than any which antiquity ever wit
nessed, to accomplish the industrial con
quest of the world.”
WATSON AT SANDERSVILLE.
Spoke In Behalf of the Populist Candidate
For Congress In the Tenth.
Atlanta, Oct. 31.—Thomas E. Wat
son spoke at Sandersville in behalf of
West, the Populist candidate for con
gress in the Tenth district. In the
course of his remarks he expressed a
sincere desire that Bryan be elected at
all hazards. Respecting himself, he
said, among other things:
•*I am out of the race in Georgia.
There are two tickets you can vote next
Tuesday—Bryan and Sewall or McKin
ley and Hobart, and if you can’t stand
either stay at home.”
He paid his respects to the fusions
that have been effected in various states,
especially Kansas, and to nis treatment
in North Carolina. He said that Butler
had arranged the most beautiful fusion
ever seen.
“If I were to go into that state to
speak,” he exclaimed, “what could I
say? I could only repeat the Ten Com
mandments, say the Lord’s prayer and
dismiss the congregation.”
Mr. Watson is not looking well, his
voice is not strong and he seems to be
jaded.
LIVING SKELETON FASTING.
Bedridden With a Wanting: Disease, a Went
Virginia Giri Ke fuses Food.
Parkersburg, W. Va., Oct. 31.—The
19-year-old daughter of Mrs. Daniel
Smith, a widow living near Shepherds
town, took to her bed two years ago
with a malady which the physicians
could not diagnose. Her form wasted
away until she was a mere skeleton.
Apparently she suffered no pain.
Up to two months ago she partook of
food, but since that time has refused to
eat.
Dr. Harry Wade of Boonsbo-o, Md.,
attended her until he died, when his
brother, Dr. Hubert Wade, took the
case. All he has given her is whisky
injected hypodermically.
A few days ago, it is said, she was
seen walking around the room, and
there is suspicion that when no one is
around she procures food. No one sup
posed she had strength enough to leave
the bed, and a watch has been placed
upon her. ,
A Notary I’ubHe Wants l>amag«s.
San Francisco, Oct. 31.—Notary
Public J. J. Cooney, of Fair pencil deed
case fame, is going to try himself for
some of the vast fortune that has been
the cause of so much litigation. He
has complained to the court that Charles
L. Fair, in his complaint filed in the
courts in connection with his answer to
Mrs. Nettie R. Craven’s suit Thursday,
has falsely and maliciously libelled him,
and he asks damages in the sum of
$200,000. Counsel for Cooney have
filed two bills against Charles L. Fair,
each for SIOO,OOO, fpr alleged libel in
respective cross complaints that the de
fendant filed in answer to the Craven
suits. They say that Fair overstepped
the bounds of law when he attacked
Cooney in the cross complaints in the
Craven suit, and his utterances against
Cooney in that connection, when Cooney
was not a party to the litigation, were
clearly libelous.
Uncle Sam Making: His Own Wheels.
Washington, Oct. 31.—‘According to
reports from United States Consul Par
ker, at Birmingham, the trade of that
place with the United State in bicycle
materials is steadily declining and
promises to terminate altogether in a
short time. As for the complete bi
cycles, the trade with the United States
has completely stopped and not one was
shipped this year. On the other hand
some American machines were sold in
Birmingham and the consul thinks the
sales may be extended, for the prices
are slightly lower.
Mexico WHhdnt a Floating Debt.
City qf Mexico, Oct. 31.—For the
first time in the financial history of
Mexico, the country is without a float
ing debt, all outstanding obligations
having been funded in new silver 5 per
cent bonds, which have been bought up
in Europe, none being left here. The
cash surplus of the government now
amounts to over $6,000,000 and its reve
nues are increasing.

BRITONS COMPELLED TO WALK
Strike of the Cabbles Results In Scenes of
Confusion and Exasperation at the Dif
ferent Depots—The Suit for Divorce
Brought J>jr Counters < owley Js All the
Talk Among the “'inart Set.”
[Copyrighted, 1896, by Associated Press. ]
London, Oct. 31. The weather dur
the past week settled to some degree,
though on Thursday the first yellow fog
of the season plunged the metropolis
into semidarkness and made street trav
eling difficult and dangerous.
London is greatly incommoded by the
cab strike. The drivers have started a
system of boycotting the railroad sta
tions which has produced scenes of con
fusion and exasperation at the different
depots, where huge piles of baggage are
set down by the railway and the crowds
of indignant male and female Britons,
hampered by bags, traveling rugs, pack
ages, etc., are fretting and fuming
while pushing about in a more or less
helpless condition, engaging messen
gers, porters or anybody at hand to help
them out of their difficulties. In fact
the muddle and the trouble are so great
that the officials of the railroads have
been compelled to apply for extra police
protection.
Sir John Millais, late president of the
Royal Academy, who died Aug. 13, left
a forfune of $250,000, entailed to the
holder of the baronetcy.
The so-cailed “smart set” is taking
considerable interest in the suit for di
vorce brought by Countess Cowley
against the Earl, her husband, on the
ground of desertion.
A Famous Caw Recalled.
The affair recalls that the earl, while
Viscount Dangan, was forced to heavily
compensate Phyllis Broughton, the well
known actress, for breach of promise.
The Dowager Countess Cowley, in Au
gust, a year ago, was sued by Mrs.
Jacoby, sister-in-law of James A. Jaco
by, M. P., for slander in charging the
plaintiff with writing anonymous and
objectionable letters affecting the char
acter of numerous persons in high so
ciety. Ti e case was finally settled by
both parties swearing they did not
write the letters and did not know who
did write them. The divorce case has
been postponed until next session.
Now that the fetes in honor of the
marriage of the Crown Prince of Italy
to Princess Helene of Montenegro are
over, the extraordinary behavior of the
Roman clergy connected with the cere
mony is widely criticized. The clergy
are paid by the state, yet it appears, in
spite of previous dispatches from Rome
to the contrary, that when King Hum
bert and Queen Margaret entered the
Church of Santa Maria Degli Angeli,
after the ceremony was performed,
they found that no preparations for
their reception had been made and they
had to sit in the body of the church.
Mgr. Pistilli, who officiated, upon be
ing asked to explain, said that the de
tails were arranged by the pope “who
considered their majesties to be no part
of the ceremonial.”
It is added that the astonishment of
the king and queen of Italy and the an
ger of the court was increased tenfold
when the usual prayer for the royal
house was omitted.
Yachting Circlet Excited.
Project to place the solent under the
control of the war office for the purposes
of artillery practice has caused an in
tense commotion in yachting circles.
Admiral Nares, in behalf of the clube, is
vigorously opposing the suggestion,
pointing out that the project would
make the undertaking almost as dan
gerous as an attempt to enter a hostile
port defended by powerful batteries, as
is already the case.
Advices received from Athens state
that the Greeks will introduce during
the coming season of the boule, or legis
lative assembly of Greece, a bill provid
ing for quadrennial Olympic games in
the Stadion.
M. G. Averoff, the wealthy Greek
merchant, who in part restored the
Stadion for the games this year, has
written to the Crown Prince of Greece,
offering the sum of 3,500,000 drachmas
to reconstruct it in pentelic marble.
Jeanne Nuola, the American singer,
by the desire of the Infanta Eulalie, was
engaged for the winter season at the
Madrid Opera House, but the contract,
dhe has been notified, has been can
celled, owing to the irritation in Spain
against the United States for the al- I
leged support given to the insurgents in 1
Cuba. The director of the opera house
said: i
“If an American sang under the pat- I
ronage of the court it would lead to a
demonstration against the royal family.”
Cblneae Klver Overflows Its Banks.
Tacoma. Oct. 31.—C. Bernard, a mer
chant living in Shanghai, who recently
arrived from the Orient, reports that
the river Pei Ho, in north China, has
again overflowed its banks and trans
formed the surrounding plains above
Tien-Tsin into an extensive lake. Tien-
Tsin city is in great danger. Her in
terests in North China have suffered in
estimable loss. The railroad is unable
to cope with the trade of the port in its
normal condition and at present the ex-
Eorts and imports of five provinces are
elng carried up and down the river 45
miles in small vessels drawing 3 or 4
feet. Bernard says the Chinese govern
ment is doing absolutely nothing in the
presence of the disaster, but seems con
tent to rest quietly.
MR. HANNA’S STATEMENT.
Twenty-Eight States Claimed a» Certain
For McKinley and Hobart.
Chicago, Oct. 81. —Chairman Hanna
has issued the following signed state
ment:
“I am confident that the strength of
McKinley and Hobart in the electoral
college, as a result of next Tuesday’s
election, will not be less than 311 votes.
This estimate was made up on figures
received from chairmen of state
committee*, the. raanlt of final noUa
taken fn such a careful manner as to
give them the highest credence. These
polls indicate that the vote by states
will be as follows:
“Safe for McKinley: California, Con

Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota,
New Hampshire. New Jersey, New
York, Nebraska, North Carolina, North
Dakota, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania,

311;
“Safe for Bryan: Alabama, Arkan

South Carolina, Utah, Idaho. Total
electoral votes, 78.
"Probably safe for McKinley: Kan
sas, Virginia, Washington. Total elec

"Doubtful: Missouri, Texas, with 32
electoral votes.”
LABRADORIANS STARVING.
Only Prompt Charity Wilt Save Them.
Failure of the Cod fishery.
St. John’s N. F., Oct. 31. Only
prompt charity will save the people of
Labrador from starving. The coast foi
about 500 miles is inhabited by 3,000
settlers living in small fishing villages.
The conditions of existence, never very
favorable, are rendered appalling this
year by the failure of the codfishery.
Dr. Grenfell, superintendent of the
Deep-Sea Mission, reports:
“At Square Island we found an anx
ious crowd. Not a family had enough
to prevent starvation this winter, and
no means of getting food. We arranged
to supply 25 barrels of flour, ten sacks
of biscuit, a puncheon of molasses and
a chest of tea, in return for which the
people will saw wood, which we hope
to sell next summer. An enormous
boon is conferred upon these settle
ments. even by such small assistance as
this. Quilts and counterpanes are n
valuable. Most houses have an utterly
inadequate supply of bed clothing.”

The Steamer Courier Disabled.
Cincinnati, Oct 31. The steamer
Courier of-the White Collar line, com

crippled as to one of her engines while
in tow of the Dick Brown, struck a pier
of the new Louisville and Nashville rail
way bridge. She was towed to the big

Pops In a Bad Predicament.
Knoxville, Oct. 31. —From telegrams
received here, it seems that the Popu
list party in Tennessee is in a bad pre
dicament. Ben S. Boyd, chairman of
the board of registration, has been noti
fied by four of the Populist electors not
to put their names on the ticket and to
keep off all Populist electors. Mr. Boyd
says he is not going to put on the names
of those who request them to be kept
off. It is too late to name other elect
ors.

Barlow Brothers’ Minstrels drew a large
audience to the Lyceum theatre last night

These minstrels are better this year than

Among the specialties, Eberhardt did
some very clever work Harry Ward .vas

work was done oy the company in a song
