fio et Ce era.
Atlanta, Nov. 10 —Clay was “on
the rise” this afternoon. Atkinson
followed second with Howell third.
When adjournment was taken for
supper the vote stood, Clay, 63; At
kinson, 46; Howell, 41; Lewis, 21. Bets
were freely offered 2 to 1 on Lewis
against the field. His friends claim
they have more real hope than any
crowd in the race. Atkinson and
Clay’s friends are sticking to them
with a fidelity next to that of a
brother. The fight is alluded to as
“the senatorial muddle.” The opin
ion prevails that Howell’s supporters
would go to Lewis if he should get out
of the way.
President Berner, of the' senate,
votes first, last and all the time for
Atkinson. Senator Wesley Shrop
shire and Hon. W, H. Ennis are vot
ing for Clay, while Hons. J. H. Reece
and J. B. Nevin are voting for Howell.
There were no new striking phases
during the day. All sorts of rumors
are afloat about trades being made.
BUSINESS~ON~ATnBFG BOOM.
Great Activity in All L'nrs of Southern
Trade.
Chattanooga, Nov. 10.—For many
months reports received by The Trades
man from all over the south have indi
cated that a resumption of industrial
activity was largely dependent upon the
result of the election, and that this was
a fact is now shown by the reports of
factories and mills in all sections start
ing up, mostly 0:1 actual orders.
Not only is a general resumption of
mills and factories to be noted, but
prices are taking an upward turn. Dur
ing the past week the Tennessee Coal,
Iron and Railway company, have sold
4,000 tons of pig iron at an advance of
25 per cent per ton over previous prices,
and from the inquiries received, it is
evident that orders aggregating many
thousands of tons will be placed in the
next few days, and a further advance
in prices is confidently expected.
The activity is not confined to the
iron interests, nor any one line of trade.
Textile mills are resuming as a result of
increased inquiries and orders; sawmills
that have been idle for months aie
making preparations to resume opera
tions, and at this early day, it is a fact
that hundreds of men throughout the
south have found employment who have
been idle for mouths. From all indica
tions at this time and from letters rep
resenting various manufacturing inter
ests of the south, it is evident that the
south is now entering upon an era of
industrial prosperity which will rapid y
bring it to the front rank of the manu
factoring sections of this country.
Among the new industries for the
week are the following: The Davis
Brick company, capital $25,000, Man
chester, Va.; a $15,000 coffin factory,
Atlanta, Ga.; the Paragon Lumber com
pany. capital $125,000, Washington, N.
C.; flouring mills at Clintwood and Nor
folk, Va.; a plow factory at Monroe,
La.; a tobacco factory at Washington,
N. C.; sawmills at Garysburg and Yad
kinville, N. C., and saw and planing
mills at Pidcock, Ga.
A GIGANTIC ENTERPRISE.
'American Capitalists Backing; the Scheme
Foran Around-the-World *y*tein.
San Francisco, Nov. 10 —One of the
great projected enterprises, dependent
in part on the election of McKinley, is
the heavily backed proposition of a
number of American capitalists to es
tablish on the Pacific slope a magnifi
cent line with such railway arrange
ments in the United States and such
connection with the new Transsiberi.m
line that will make a vital and effective

tern. TliiS scheme has long since passed
the stage of preliminary discussion and
bids fair to be in full operation.
The project had its inception in Chi
cago and among its most enthusiastic
supporters are Marshall Field, the mil
lionaire drygoods man, and other Chi
cago millionaires. The New York end
of the enterprise is being taken care of
by E. C. Potter & Co. In Philadelphia
the concern is supported by William
Cramp & Sons, the shipbuilders. It is
the intention of the capitalists to estab
lish a new transpacific line, superior to
any afloat.
Their plan calls for the construction
of a number of steamers of not less than
8,000 tons burden and of 20 knots speed,
which will make them entitled to the
benefit of the United States mail subsidy
of $4 per travelled mile. It is proposed
to begin the enterprise with four twin
screw steamers, capable of carrying
6,500 tons of freight, 200 firstclass pas
sengers and 1,200 steerage passengers.
As originally proposed, the line was
to run from San Diego to the ports of
China and Japan, but since then an
agent of the company has come to the
coast and opened negotiations to make
San Francisco the terminus on this
coast.

CASTLE INTERVIEWED BY THE PRESS
Mr. Cattle Took the Unfortunate Woman
to the Country, Where She Wilt Be
Shown Every Attention Possible —The
Couple to Return to the United States
at an Early Date*
London, Nov. 10.—Mrs. Walter M.
Castle of San Francisco, who was sen
tenced at the Olerkenwell sessions on
last Friday to three months’ imprison
ment without hard labor, after having
pleaded guiljy, by the advice of coun
sel, to the charge of shoplifting, has
been released from prison on medical
grounds, by order of the home secre
tary, Sir Matthew White Ridley. The
commissioner of prisons, it appears, di
rected the medical board to inquire into
the report upon the health of Mrs. Cas
tle, whose condition was causing anx
iety to the prison authorities. She was
watched day and night by special at
tendants in' the infirmary and was
shown every attention possible. The
commissioners, after receiving the re
port of the medical board on the state
of Mrs. Castle’s health, communicated
with the home secretary, who promptly
ordered her release from prison, and
that she be placed in the care of her
husband, who has undertaken to take
her back to the United States with the
least possible delay.
Mr. Castle called at the home office at
11 o’clock and was informed that his
wife would be released at Ip. m. He
went to the prison and after a brief de
lay the usual permission foe the carriage
to enter the gates was given. The car
riage drove to the door of the hospital
of the prison. There Mr. Castle and
the nurse alighted and went to the door.
A few moments later Mrs. Castle,
dressed in deep black, was almost car
ried out of the hospital by the female
attendants. She was deathly pale. She
appeared to be on the verge of collapse
and sauk fainting into her husband’s
arms. He tenderly embraced her and
tried to console her.
The nurse enveloped Mrs. Castle’s
face in a heavy veil, wrapped her up in
a shawl, and assisted her to the carriage,
where her head fell on her husband's
shoulder and she sobbed hysterically.
As the carriage passed out of the prison
gates the driver applied his whip, and
drove rapidly away.
While Mr. Castle was in the waiting
room of the prison he was interviewed
by a representative of the Associated
Press. He said:
“I feel years younger, and as though
the nightmare of the past month had
vanished. My wife was informed last
night that I would come for her today.
She was utterly prostrated yesterday. 1
shall immediately retire to the country,
place my wife under a doctor’s care,
and endeavor to restore her health, in
order to permit of her speedy return to
America.”
TRAMP SAVE-S AN EXPRESS.
Finds Dynamite on the Track and Stopb
the Train Just In the Nick of Time.
Cincinnati, Nov. 10.—A special from
Washington, Ind., says a tramp saved
an express train from beitiji wrecked by
dynamite a short distance east of Mitch
ell, Ind. The story is that the tramp,
about 1 a. m., found enough dynamite
and nitro glycerine placed on the track
to blow the engine to pieces as soon as
it struck it. Having no other mode of
signalling, he ran to the nearest switch,
tore off the lamp and returning, sig
nalled the approaching train. As he
was doing so he was shot at by the
wreckers and was found unconscious by
the trainmen.
The officers of the Baltimore and Ohio
Southwestern are inclined to doubt the
tramp’s story, as they have no informa
tion of his being wounded, nor of his
having shown any dynamite. How
ever, they have ordered bloodhounds to
the scene and will investigate the mat
ter.
The Insurance Business In Germany.
Washig.nton, Nov. 10.—A special re
port to the state department from United
States Consul Monaghan, at Chemnitz,
on the insurance business shows that
the gain in new companies has won
derfully increased business during the
last year, though how much increase is
to be attributed to the fact that certain
of the most energetic and enterprising
insurance companies have been forced
to leave the country can only be con
jectured. Last year the number of per
sons insured increased 134,735, repre
seuting an insurance of $119,000,000.
This is largely attributed to hard work
on the part of the companies, although
they are favored by the government in
being exempt from taxation, etc.

NO DANGER OF A WAR
Venezaelan Dispute Will Be Settled by
Arbitration
OFFICIAL STATEMENT GIVEN OUT
Tne Settle merit Comes Like a
Ray of Hope to Every One
STATEMENT OF LORD SALISBURY
The Boundary Commission Does Not Pro
pose to Formulate a Decision For the
Present, In the Hope That the Inter
ested Nations Will Soon Adjust All
Pending Differences.
Washington, Nov. 10. —The taeeting
of the Venezuelan commission was one
of more than ordinary interest, on ac
count of the significant statement of
Lord Salisbury’s speech Monday even
ing, announcing that the boundary dis
pute was practically ended. All the
members of the commission were pres
ent, but Justice Brewer did not remain
until the close of the meeting, as he had
to take his place in the supreme court
to attend the Berliner patent case argu
ment. During the early part of the
meeting the address of Lord Salisbury
was generally discussed and the papers
containing the speech and comments
upon it were read.
The Venezuelan commission has au
thorized the following official state
ment:
“The statements of Lord Salisbury in
his speech at London make it probable
that the boundary dispute now pending
between Great Britain and Venezuela
will be settled by arbitration at an early
day. Under these circumstances, the
commission, while continuing its de
liberations in the preparation and
the orderly arragements of many
valuable maps, reports and documents,
which have been procured in the course
of its labors, does not propose to formu
late any decision for the present of the
matters subject to its examination. It
will continue its sessions from time to
time, but with the hope and expectation
that a friendly and just settlement of
all pending differences between the na
tions interested will make any final de
cision on its part unnecessary.
LONDON PAPERS PLEASED.
Delighted to Know That the Venezuelan
Dispute TTT Tactically Settled.
London, Nov. 10. — The afternoon
nawspapers are unanimous in express
ing satisfaction at the Marquis of Salis
bury’s announcement in his speech at
the Guild Hall banquet of the practical
settlement of the Venezuelan difficulty.
The Pall Mall Gazette says:
“The presence of Mr. Bayard at the
banquet gave additional enthusiasm to
the satisfaction with which it was re
ceived. ”
The Globe says:
“The amicable and honorable settle
ment is creditable alike to the diplomacy
of Great Britain and the United States.’’
The Westminster Gazette says:
“Both Secretary Olney and Lord
Salisbury are entitled to say that they
sacrificed no principle for which they
originally contended.”
According to the St. James Gazette,
the question still remains as to whom is
to be the arbitrator. If it is the United
States the socalled settlement covers a
surrender, for the United States has
been a party to the dispute and is not
qualified to be its judge.
The United States ambassador, Mr.
Thomas F. Bayard, in an interview
with a representative of the Associated
Press, expressed warm appreciation of
the cordiality of his reception at the
Guild Hall banquet, and incidentally
expressed the-opinion that the United
States law of 20 years’ possession will
prevail in the case of the settlers in
Venezuelan disputed districts.
Fnglislinien Like Ambassador Bayard,
London, Nov. 10.—The St. James Ga
zette, commenting on the approaching
retirement of Mr. Bayard from the post
of ambassador of the United States to
the court of St. James, says: “Without
reflecting upon his predecessors, it is
safe to say no American minister since
Lowell has been so thoroughly accepta
ble to the English people and London
society. Where all recognized that he
had no easy task, he has worked stren
uously, devotedly and passionately, yet
as a patriotic envoy should, for the con
tinuance of the friendship of both great
branches of the English speaking race. ’ ’
FARMERS IN INDIANAPOLIS.
Sixteenth Anhual Session of the National
Congress— a elcomed by Matthews.
Indianapolis, Nov. 10. —The sixteenth
annual session of the farmers’ national
congress began at 10:30 a. m. in the In
diana hall of the house of representa
tives. There were about 70 persons
present, but the later sittings are ex
pected to show a larger attendance.
Thfe general opinion of those interested
in the congress was that the meetings
should have been held before rather
than after the presidential election, and
that had this been the case the attend
ance would have numbered several hun
dred. The members present were rep
resentative men and leaders in thecause
of agriculture.
The congress was called to order by
the president, B. F. Clayton, of India
nola, lowa. Mayor Taggert delivered
an address of welcome. Response wa
made by the secretary, J. M. Clark, of
Ohioaeo. He said that umui oqp occa-
sion tne proposition nSa oe«n U..vr:r
throw him out on the assumption that
there were no farmers in Cook county.
Ills, as that county is Chicago. He skid
he kept his place by showing that the
farm products of Chicago exceed those
of each of more than 20 counties in Illi
nois. We came here, he said, to labor
for the farmer, and yet we do not for
get the men in the mine, in the shop, or
in the banks. We realize the inter-de
pendence of all industries and that
when the industries of the cities lan
guish our agricultural industries fail.
J. G. Kingsbury of Indiana spoke a
welcome on behalf of the press. He
gave figures to show the agricultural
standing of Indiana and that she stands
sixth in corn and in 1892 ranked second
in wheat. J. G. Offutt gave a welcome
on behalf of the farmers of Indiana.
He said: “We are looking forward to
this congress with a great deal of aniety
and desire, We farmers find ourselves
in a very straightened condition; we
find many farms plastered over with
mortgages. ”
L. 8. Coffin of lowa said that that
state is more largely agricultural than
almost any other state. He did not
come to the congress with a doleful
story. lowa farmers were out of debt,
as a rule, he said, and but a very small
per cent of lowa farms are mortgaged.
Governor Matthews then welcomed
the congress on behalf of the state.
President Clayton was then intro
duced and delivered his annual address.
POOR PLACE FOR CYCLING.
Laws Governing the Use of the Wheel In
Germany Are Very Strict.
Washington, Nov. 10.—Complaints
are frequently made by traveling Amer
can bicycle riders touring Germany of
obstacles and delays caused by the very
rigorous laws governing the use of bicy
cles on the public roads in that country.
For the benefit of such tourists, United
States Consul Sawter, at Glauchau,
cites a few of the stricter rules which
cyclers are called ou to observe through
out the empire.
Cycling on public streets or roads,
particularly in Saxony, he says, is sub
ject to minute and carefully enforced
police regulations, which in many cases
prohibit altogether the use of brakeless
machines. The roads with but few ex
ceptions are perfect and wheeling is
smooth and easy, but on acccount of
rainy weather, which prevails most of
the year, wheel guards for wet days are
indispensable.
The law requires that the lamp be
rather highly placed on the wheel and
be kept lighted within half an hour
after sunset to an hour before sunrise.
Each bicycle must be provided with au
easily managed brake, operated quickly
and powerfully. Cycling on roads ex
clusively intended for pedestrians or on
thu elevated foot paths is strictly pro
hibited. Two bicycle ‘riders may ride
side by side when it can be done with
out blocking the thoroughfare, annoy
ing other riders or vehicles, or single,
when it is
The riding ot two machines abreast is
not permitted under any circumstances.
For disregard of any of these regula
tions a fine not exceeding 60 marks, with
imprisonment in jail for not more thau
two weeks, may be imposed.
COXEY HAS A NEW SCHEME,
Want. Gold Demonetized, State Ownership
of Kail road*. Woman Suffrage, Etc.
Cleveland, Nov. 10. —J. S. Coxey, of
commonweal fame, is on the ground
floor with a new doctrine for 1900. It
is a platform which declares for the de
monetization of gold as well as silver,
state ownership of all railroads, high
ways, waterways and telegraph and
telephone lines; municipal ownership of
all street car lines, waterworks, mar
kethouses, electric lights and gas plants;
employment of surplus labor in public
works, woman suffrage, state control of
liquor traffic and the election of presi
dent by direct vote of the people.
Coxey has called a conference of all
friends of the initiative and referendum
and advocates of the above principles of
goveriiment. He believes that national
banks should loan money to the people
at cost, and this principle, he says, will
be incorporated in the platform to be
adopted in the parlors of the Lindell
hotel, St. Louis, Jan. 12, 1897. All who
favor the principles above set forth are
urged to attend the St. Louis conven
tion.
Showalter Will Challenge Pillsbury.
New York, Nov. 10.—Showalter, the
chess expert, has telegraphed from
Georgetown, Ky., to friends in this city
that he will challenge H. N. Pillsbury
to play a match game. A cat legram
from London Monday reported Pills
bury as saying that he was anxious for
a match with Showalter, but questioned
his own right to ch illenge the latter.

Shiboleth
WARNER ISSUES AN ADDRESS
A Great Victory Expected in
Nineteen Hundred
WHITE METAL LEAGUES UNITED
Branch Office In Chicago mid Washington
Are Now Consolidated at the
Latter Place.
Washington, Nov. 10. The cam
paign for the free coinage of silver will
be waged with vigor during the next
four years in preparation for the elec
tion in 1900. The directors of the Amer
ican Bimetallic union, who constitute
the bulk of the silver leaders in three
parties, have decided to maintain head
quarters in this city from which to send *
out literature. The branch office at 1
Chicago will be consolidated with the
Washington office, but the San Fran
cisco branch is to be continued. At the
request of the directors, General A. J.
Warner, the president of the union, has
issued the following address to the sil
ver leagues and bimetallic unions of the
United States:
Silver has lost in this election, but the
battle for the overthrow of the gold stand
ard has not ended. The disastrous conse
quences that must attend upon the con
tinuance of this standard make it impos
sible to relinquish the struggle against it •
until it is fully overthrown.
The gold standard cannot be maintained
by increasing revenues, because revenues
are not paid in gold. The attempt to
maintain the gold standard by perpetual
loans must also sooner or later fail. The
only other way is by contracting the cur
rency and forcing down prices so low that
gold will come here of itself in such quan
tities as to constitute in part at least the
currency with which revenues are paid,
and no debtor nation can long maintain
such a policy. Either course, t herefore,
leads to inevitable ruin; the one by bank
rupting the government and the other by
bankrupting the people. Either policy
will subject the United States absolutely
to British domination, and hence the re-'
joicing of the British press over the defeat
of silver here.
The victory for gold is a victory of trusts
and syndicates—wealth brought about
corruption and coercion—and is not a vic
tory of the people cr for the people, and it
cannot, last. There must be an end also to
the constant appreciation of money. The
appreciation of money alone, if allowed to
go on at the rate it has gone on for the
past 20 years, will, in half a generation
more, transfer the bulk of all tne wealth
of this country from those who have cre
ated it to the hands of the few who con
trol the money and own the debts. No
power can be conceived so potent to gather
wealth into few hands as the ceaseless all
pervading power of au appreciating money
standard. No civilization can stand
against it. It must end or the founda
tions upon which free institutions rest
will be broken up.
The battle, therefore, for the restoration
of silver must go on without abatement,
and 1 urge upon all silver and bimetallio
leagues and unions to keep up their organ
izations and to continue the fight till vic
tory for the people is finally won.
The noble fight made by our intrepid
leader in the campaign just ended endears
him to all who believe in the righteousness
of our cause, and under his leadership we
believe victory will be won in 1900.
A BOOM FOR W. J. BRYAN.
Washington Fnsfonists May Fleet the Ne
braskan to the Senate.
Seattle, Wash., Nov. 10. —A boom
has started here for William J. Bryan
for United States senator from this
state. The silver fusionists will control
the senatorship.
The constitution of Washington pro
vides that to be eligible to the office the
candidate shall be merely an “inhabi
tant” of the state at the time of his
election, so that the fusion majority
could elect Mr. Bryau without the least
trouble.
Richard Windsor, Sr., the Populist
leader in Washington, and James Ham
ilton Lewis, Democratic fusionist and
member-elect of congress, are rival can
didates for senatorship, and Mr. Bryan
has been suggested as a compromise.
Glamworki Re's nine Operations.
San Francisco, Nov. 10.—The fur
naces of the glassworks on Seventh and
Townsend streets, which have been
resting in idleness for a long time, are
once more aglow. James H Davis,
manager of the works, said: “We have
started in good earnest and have the
best of prospects for a urosperous fu
ture."
