And among the Atlan- tlane wilt be that.Jolly newspaper roan, Capt. Evan P. Howell, who will de liver a speech to the people that will make them feel in good humor with themselves, for in a fair speech It would be taking uu unfair advantage of Us hearers to launch himself into the discussion of the free coinage question or anything of a similarly dry nature.

CRYING FOR M'KINLEY. That’s tho Way the Tennessee People Are Represented. Cincinnati, "O., Oct. 28.—Refreshed by a day’s cessation from speaking and the attentions of reception committees. Governor McKinley reached here from Philadelphia, at 8 p. m. and ten minutes later mas on bis way to Olney, where he speaks tomorrow, the first one of twelve speeches between that point aud Chicago. During a brief stop at Columbus this afternoon for the purpose of visiting Mrs. McKinley, the governor was Cwct by a committee from Nashville, Tenn., headed" by Newall Sanders, chairman ,of the state central Republican com mittee, and who made an earnest plea, for a speech in that city next week. Every day for a week tho governor has been deluged with dispatches from Democrats and Republicans In that city urging him (jo cancel one day of his Ohio dates, and speak In that city before tho close of the campaign, promising a special train ana-nil oth er facilities from Chicago to Nashville end back into Ohio. One of 'the most pressing of these let ters came from Judge A. B.CoHyar. a oromlnent lawyer of Nashville. Who was a tnember of the Confederate congress, tend which read, in part: "I am a Demo crat, but a believer In a protoceive tar iff. With me. It la above all other con siderations. To break the force of your Intended speech was the purpose of bringing Sneaker Crisp here, for It was imperative that they turn back the growing feeling for protection. It that be possible. Everybody wants to hear you. and your speech would be a crisis in Tennessee affairs. For the great cause. I hone you can come. Such an ovation has not been given to anyjnan since the war as would be given you." Judge OoJlyar was a member of the delegation today, and reinforced tho pleadings of Chairman Sanders. Gov ernor McKinley referred to the fact that ■the.riot at Washington court house had necessitated the cancellation of the Lou isville and Nashville dates, and that ho was entirely In the hands of the Ohio state central committee. The delega tion 'then had a conference with Chair man Dick, but the latter absolutely re fused to cancel any of the Ohio dates for the week commencing Tuesday, and the delegation left for home. ill’s HEW Mi.

The most trustworthy explana tion now at hand was published yes terday by tho Hamburg.echo Corre spondent, which Is known to havo got ten Its Information from Dr. Ham- maun of the foreign office. It Is this: On Friday Count von Oaprlvl had au audience with tho emperor to discuss tho ministerial situation and the out lines of tho proposed antl-Soclallst measures. Ho referred to tho opposi tion which ho had encountered in the conference of federal envoys and asked tho emperor to g.vo a binding pledge that tho whole government support uniformly the programme of the chan cellory. Tho emperor said ho could not prom ise to carry out unchanged every de tail of tho chancellor's proposals. Tho situation was so complicated that it was hnpossiblo to mark out an uual- tcrablo lino of conduct. However, ho h.mself continued to hope that the chancellor would havo the desired sup port and would remain at his pust. Capriv. stood firm. ' Tilt! emperor de clined to promise. Sorno temper was displayed on both sides, though tbero was no quarrel. Eventually Oaprlvl stated the alternntlvo between tho promise and Ids immeiliato resignation, and tho emperor oceepted tho resigna tion. Tho Neuscto Nachrlchtc-n, which frag bought by its present owner* to bo used ngalust the “new course” and the chancellor, persists that Caprlvi called the south German, envoys to tUo con ference and strove to win their In dorsement without having first con sulted tho emperor and that tills in dependence precipitated li'.s fall. Tho falsehood Is obvious. Tho Nach- rlehton Is regarded as seeking merely to attribute C'aprlri's fall to tho mis step which ended Bismarck's career. Tnero was no repetition of the Wlnd- thorst Incident, which In 1890 tho em peror Interpreted as an effort to In trigue behind 'his back. It Is certain that the emperor and Caprlvi parted on friendly terms. They were seen on Friday evening in the same carriage returning from (lie Russian embassy, where they had inquired after the czar's health. In .the chancellory the officials cling to the hope that Caprlvl's retirement Is not final, although when he bade good-by to the chiefs of departments yesterday he did not allude to any prospect ot returning to office. He seemed cheerful, even relieved, and, aside from some bitterness, was un doubtedly glad to relinquish his ’Un congenial task. , -CHANGES TO COME. The change* Incident to Caprlvl’s departure aro expected to Include the resignation of Freiherr Marschal voi. Bfebersteln, the foreign secretary, whom the Conservatives accuse of In triguing against Mlquel. Eulenburg and everybody else except his personal friends. One report which holds fast among tho Conservatives ta that he will be succeeded by Count Philip Zu Eulenburg. the poet, story teller and German ambassador to Vienna. Thp emperor Is credited, however, with an aversion to_any changes that can be averted, as he wishes to emphasize the principle that he ta the supreme force In the government and tho all-sufficient statesman. . ... . This he expects to accomplish by acting as if all dismissals resulted from party opposition to the personal ity of this or that adviser of the crown. If Freiherr Marschall von Belbersteln should go It would be £ue to untago- ntsm felt toward him by Mlquel, tho Eulenburg clan and tho Agrarians, whom ho handled so roughly in the debates on tho 'Russian reciprocity ^Eugene Richter's Fretaslnnlgo Eel- tung contained a noteworthy leader last evening on the reunioni of the Prussian and Imperial prcmlershlps and tho probable policy Of Caprlvi a succcs S °''There Is no reason to expect a radi cal change for the bitter.'

Improvement is possible only thrototh the creation of inrteptndent ministers the creation of independent mlnlctors who can relievo the chancellor of his universal reaponatblHty. ■'Oiprivl's departure has certainly cleared a groat obstacle from the way of agrarian aspirations, but the <ta n jLr of a tariff war with America over the sugar tax has come much nearer, as to the parliamentary Programme.

In the relchstag of 1871- 73 he was merely an ornament. BISMARCKIAN SENTIMENT Tho Hamburger Nachrichten, which speaks for Bismarck, has a moderate article without a trace of triumph over Caprlvi. “It ta a mistake to suppose, says the writer, “that his fall -was due to bis,attitude to repressive laws. Hto fall W2B owing solely to his Incapacity to deal with the entire situation. Solid administrative notion with only radicals. Poles wA socialists behind him has be come Impossible." The old tory Kreuz Zcltung reioiers in the crisis. “We desire to recoil." It says, "how much the semi-official press sought to Identify the emperor's poHcy with' Caprtvi’s.

Whatever changes may now Impend, the conservatives will not niter their programme, but will curry it forward In the battle for relig ion. society, morality and order.” The Magdeburg Zcltung says: "One thing ta certain, the time for passive waiting Is over.

"While Bismarck Uvea there will always be two chancellors, and I do not care to bo the second one.” CAPRIVI MOVES OUT. Berlin, Oct. 28.—Count won Caprlvi was removed yesterday from tho ntno rooms -which ho occupied in tho chan cellory and was sent to -his villa at Sklcron, near Crossen, where ho will five in retirement. Ills married sister, to whom he Is much attached, occupies a house In tho same neighborhood. Caprlvl’B friends say that when lie called to bid them good-bye ho looked five years younger than ho did a week ago. He Is to better spirits than for months, and said he felt as If a moun tain had been rolled from off bis back. Ills recent surroundings, he told ono friend, had been little to his liking. The press campaigns for film and against him had been especially disa greeable. although he had been In formed that they had to be. He re gretted keenly that he must leave the beautiful garden at the chancellory, On Friday, despite the Wavy rain, he went through the garden to visit all the shrubs and trees which ho had planted and (trained. II* parted most reluctantly from MaJ-.von Ebmeyer, his aide-de-camp, who regards him as toe moot admirable man on earth. Eb- meyer was so affected tbat ho could not speak articulately. Ills resigna tion. too. had been accepted by tho em peror, and ho will Join his regiment Immediately. In summoning tho federal envoys to another conference tlie emperor said that Caprlvl's policy would be con tinued.

Easton, Md., Oct. 23.—8cnator Gib son did not preside over tho Demo cratic mass mooting in Music Hall yes terday. As United States senator ho would naturally be cuusldurod tho big gest mau ,u his party at U'.a own home. Hut he was not c.-eu given a seat ou the platform Ip f.-out of tho people whom ho was sent to. Washington to represent. The central comm-ltteo was plainly told several days ago by a member of tho anti-Glbsou Democrats that It he should be made chairman of tlie meet ing that ut. least 100 orotuluout Dem ocrat* would leave the hall In a body. Their animosity towards the senator Is based on b.« course in tlie senato re garding the tariff bill. Several other candidates wore named for chairman by Gibson’s friends, but they worn all objected to by .tlio “anils." Finally tho central committee decided to run the meeting officially, and so Charles R. Woofers, chairman of tho commit tee, was inado dm.i-nuu or tho meet- j lug. More than one-half of tho vlce- ! president* selected are pronounced | anti-Gibson men, ] Not satisfied with capturing tho or- 1 ganlzntlou of tho mooting, tho antis proceeded to nmko it more unpleasant for the senator. Two questions were submitted In writing to tho two con gressional candidates (short and long term). The questions wero these: "Do you approve of the course of those I'nlled States 1 senators, who, though elected as Democrats, fulled to support tho Wilson tariff bill unmodified in tho Interest of protection unit trusts and who thus defied their own constituents us well ns a Democratic president and house of cepnwouta lives, elected by i.n overwhelming majority of. tin country, and representing on too InrtlT question an utmost unanimous Democracy!!" "Do you approve of the Ocean City convention, by which you were nomi nated, In voting dowu n, resolution com mending President Cllevctnnd for his course In reference to tariff legislation during the Inst sesslou of congress?" Tho answers to the questions, wlillo not what, many ot (be signets hoped for, wero partlully satisfactory. There wero some few who would not be sat isfied with anything bnt. a vigorous de nunciation by tho candidates of Sena tors Gorman ami Gibson, tho latter of whom oat in tho audience us nu inter ested listener. These genl lemon wore disappointed, for neither Maryland senator was at tacked, though not a word that could be const rued in support of (hem or their position on tho tuvlfC was ut tered by cither Mr. .Mites or lijr Mr. Henry. Senator Gibson awl thoso of his friends wlio clustered around ' hint scorned greatly pleased that ho escaped condemnation.
