THE BOURBON STEWS, PARIS, KY., TUESDAY, JULY 10, 1900. ASSAULTED BY BOERS. An Ineffective Attack on British Garrison at Fickburg. Tree Thousand Rebels Encoun- tered on July C, and 33 Brit- ish Soldiers Were Killed Near Broukerspruit. London, July 6. Lord Roberts re- ports from Pretoria that Lieut. Run- die, of the carbineers, and a patrol were captured by the Boers near Pre- toria on July 4. He also says trains are running to Greylingstadt, Natal; that several respectable Boers have surrendered recently; that a soldiers' home has been opened at Heidelberg, the inhabitants subscribing the initial expenses, and that a total of 2,631 stands of arms have been delivered to Gen. Barton at Klerksdorp, Krugers- dorp and Potchefstroom, all in the Transvaal. The cordon around Gen. De Wet ap- pears still to be wide at least, he has not yet been cornered. Dispatches from the front, except official ones, deal with trifles or vague probabili- ties. The Daily Telegraph's Lourenco Marques correspondent attempted on July 4 to interview President Kruger at Watervalonder. President Kruger was there, but he deputed State Sec- retary Reitz to talk. "President Kru- ger wishes through me to reveal what he has.said over and over that he will continue to fight. Such is our -decision." Dr. Conan Doyle, writing to the British Medical Journal, says he thinks that there were 10,000 to 12,000 cases of enteric fever at one time. Six hundred patients died at Bloemfon- tein in one month. Dr. Doyle declares that the physicians did all they could. London, July 7. Gen. Paget is moving toward the heart of the coun- try held by De Wet. Lord Roberts telegraphed to the war office, under date of Pretoria, July 6, 2:25 p. m., as follows: "Paget engaged the enemy on July 3 successfully at Pleisirfontein. He drove them out of a very strong posi- tion across Leeuw Kop to Broncri- fontein, where he bivouacked for the night. He followed up the enemy, and on the afternoon of July 4 was at Blaauw Kopje, 14 miles northwest of Bethlehem. He reports that all of Steyn's government officials except the treasurer general, who has gone to Vrede, are at Bethlehem, which has been proclaimed the capital. Steyn himself is reported to have taken fight to, the mountains. Buller re- re-ports the line to Heidelberg restored, thus completing railway communica- tion between Pretoria and Natal." Lourenco Marques on Friday learn- ed that the. Boers are showing fresh activity. A British force is reported within 40 miles of Koomatipoort. London, July 9. Late news from South Africa reports that the Boers ineffectually attacked Gen. Buller's escort between Standerton and Hei- delberg on Saturday as he was re- turning from a visit to Lord Roberts. The Boers attacked Ficksburg gar- rison at midnight on Tuesday, but were driven off after 45 minutes' lighting. (Jen. Brabant on July 5 occupied Dornberg, between Senakal and Win- burg, which served as a base for bands assailing convoys. Col. Mahon, of Gen. Hutton's mounted troops, on July 6 and 7 engaged 3,000 Boers east of Broukerspruit and drove them off. The British casualties numbered 33. Commandant Limmer tried to re- capture Rustonburg on July 5, but was driven back. Thirty-four of the Strathcona horse under Lieut. Anderson were attacked by 200 Boers east of Standerton on July 6. The British soon took pos- session of a kopje, upon which they successfully withstood the attacks of the enemy. The Times' Lourenco Marques cor- respondent says: "A general move- ment of Boer settlers into Gazaland, Portuguese territory, seems to be in contemplation. Already large herds have been driven across the border. The Portuguese welcome the move- ment." WAS ACQUITTED. Col. Pettit, of the 31 st Volunteer Tn- fantry, Not Guilty of Violating an Article of War. Manila, July 8. The court-martial convened for the purpose of hearing the charges against Col. James S. Pet- tit, of the 31st volunteer infantry, who was accused of violating the sixty-second article of war in making an arrangement with President Me- dell, of Samboango, for the capture of Juan Ramos, and who was after- ward transferred to Medell and killed, has brought in a verdict of acquittal. Gen. MacArthur in reviewing 'the evi- dence, disapproved of the finding of the court-martial. The acquittal, it is announced, restored Col. Pettit to duty in his regiment. Gen. James Bell, it is announced, will succeed Brig. Gen. E. B. Williston, the provost marshal at Manila. Gen. Bell will enter upon his duties July 15. Gen. Williston will return home. The Safety of the Foreigners in Peking Still in Doubt. An American Force, in Great Peril, Relieved by the Allied Forces Russians and British Fought Their Way Through. London, June 9. The foreign con- suls at Shanghai met on July 7 and officially announced that the legations THEY MAY FUSE. The Populits National Committee De- cides to Join Issues With the Dem- ocrats in the-.Fall Campaign. at Peking foregoing were safe on July 4. The statement, read with Con- Squadron of Philippine Cavalry. Washington, July 8. The war de- partment has been informed of the organization of a squadron of Phil- ippine cavalry by Lieut. Col. Wilber E. Wilder, 43rd Infantry, United States volunteers, consisting of four troops of native scouts, having a max- imum of 120 men to a troop, engaged to serve until July 30, 1901, unless sooner discharged. The barracks at Caloocan have been designated as the rendezvous of the squadron. TO THE PHILIPPINES. Over 6,000 Regulars to Be Sent, with a View to Utilize Them in China. if Found Necessary. Washington, July 8. As a result of a thorough consideration of the sub- ject by the Secretary of War Gen. Miles and Gen. Corbin orders were issued by the war department Satur- day afternoon for the dispatch of 6,254 regular troops to the Philip- pines with a view to their utiliza- tion in China, in case it is found nec- essary to divert them to that coun- try. These troops are intended pri- marily to relieve the volunteers in the Philippines, and will only be di- verted to China in the event that cir- cumstances demand it. The force is made up of two batal- lions, each of the loth, 2nd, 5th and 8th infantry, two squadrons each of the 1st and 9th cavalry, one squadron of the 3rd cavalry and a company of engineers. These troops will be forwarded as rapidly as transportation arrange- ments can be' perfected, and the en- tire fleet of transports at San Fran- cisco and New York will be employed in the work. SCOUTING IN LUZON. Eleven Americans Killed and Six- teen "Wonnded Many of the Enemy Were Slain. Manila, July 9. The past week's scouting in Luzon resulted in 11 Americans being killed and 16 wound- ed. One hundred and sixty Filipinos were killed during the week, and eight Americans who had been pris- oners in the hands of the rebels were surrendered and 100 rifles were turn- ed over to the United States officials. The enemy ambushed a wagon train between Indang and Naie. The 3d in- fantry lost nine men while on an ex- pedition to punish the Ladrones in the delta of the Rio Grande. In the Antigua, province of Panay, a running light of three hours' dura- tion resulted in the killing or wound- ing of 70 of the enemy. There were no casualties among the Americans. The insurgents are slowly accept- ing the amnesty provisions. In some instances the Americans are suspend- ing operations in order to give the rebels an opportunity to take advan- tage of the decree. DIED IN MANILA. THE PATENT OFFICE. Receipts Were $1,35S,22S, a. Larger Sam Than Any Previous Year Number of Patents 26,540. Washington, July 9.- A summary of the year's work in the patent of- fice by Commissioner Duell shows the cash receipts to have been $1,358,228, a larger sum than in any previous fiscal year. The total number of pat- ents, 26,540, also breaks the record. There has been a corresponding in- crease in the number of trademarks and labels registered. A corresponding increase for the coming year will necessitate some ad- dition to the already increased force of the office. The commissioner urges the erec- tion of suitable building to be oc- cupied solely by the patent office. A Double Hanging Fayville, La., July 8. Sim- Parker and Bell McSwayne, colored, were hanged here. They were given abso- lution according to the rites of the Catholic church. The two Negroes murdered Frank C. Parnell in a fiend- ish manner on April 7. Brigade Encampment. Springfield, Ill., July 8. -The entire 1st brigade Illinois national guard ar- rived Saturday at Camp Lincoln. Twenty-six hundred and twenty-five men are in 'camp. This. is the first brigade encampment held for years. The Demise of Copt. Robert B. Hus- ton, a Native of Hamilton, O., Re- ported to the War Office. Washington, July 9. A dispatch from Gen. MacArthur, dated Manila, Saturday, announces the death of Capt. Robert B. Huston, 47th United States Infantry, by typhoid fever at Manila Friday. Capt. Huston was born at Hamilton, 0., January 25, 1864, and was appoint- ed to the volunteer army from Guth- rie, O. T., May 4, 1898, and served as captain of the First Volunteer Caval- ry (Rough Riders) during the Santi- ago campaign. He was appointed major of volunteers September 30. 1898, and was honorably discharged May 24, 1899. August 27, 1899, he was appointed captain of the 47th Infantry. A Glacier Disintegrates. Tacoma, Wash., July 8. The steam- er Queen, from Alaska, brings further : news of the presumed disintegration of the famous Muir glacier. The sea in its vicinity was found full of float- ing ice, broken from the face of the . glacier. It was impossible to get near enough to find out just how bad- ly the glacier is damaged. Railways Receivers' Hands. Washington, July 9. The statisti- cal report of the interstate commerce commission for the year ended June 30, 1899, shows that the number of railways in the hands of receivers on that date was 71, a net decrease of 23 as compared with June 30, 1898, Charter. Havana, July 9. The new charter for the city of Havana will go into effect immediately after its publica- tion this week. The powers of the recently elected officials are thereby greatly increased. sul Warren's dispatch to the foreign office on Saturday, makes it possible to believe that.the legations will hold out for a number of days yet. Hav- ing fought to a standstill the first outbursts of fanatical fury, it is be- lievable that something may inter- vene to save them. The news, after the sinister rumors of the last ten days, is enough upon which to build up hopes. Tien-Tsin is still hard pressed. A Chinese force numbering from 80,000 to 100,000 men, as estimated by inconclusive recon- noisances, floods the country round- about Tien-Tsin, communcation be- tween which place and Taku is ap- parently possible by river only. A Che-roo dispatch to the Express says the Russians have landed 8,000 men at Taku, and the Japanese have discharged several transports. The Japanese pushed on to Tien-Tsin, leading in the subsequent assault upon the native city, in which their commander was killed. Ten more transports are engaged at Japanese ports. With the 10,000 British India troops afloat and fresh Japanese con- tingents, it is quite probable that the allies will have 50,000 men ashore. The disorders in the provinces ap- pear to be increasing in violence. A Chinese army is within 40 miles of New Chwang, and the foreigners are preparing to abandon their homes. The southern part of the province is swept by raiders, who are destroying all works of the white men except in spots garrisoned by Russians. Proc- lamations have been posted in all vil- lages near Che-Foo calling upon the loyal Chinese to rise and expel the foreigners for introducing among the pious Chinese an immoral religion. Every good Buddhist is expected to kneel three hours daily, knock his head upon the floor thrice and pray earnestly that. sudden, cruel death may overtake all aliens. The foreign settlement at Che-Foo is at the mercy of two Chinese forts equipped with Krupp guns which command two sides of the city. Six warships, including the United. States gunboat Nashville, are constantly cleared for action. The correspondents at Shanghai, who are still the clearing house of all Chinese news, say that a combined force of Russians and Japanese has left Tien-Tsin, following the railway as far as Lang Fang, and have thence swept swiftly to the west, attacking the Chinese 18 miles north of Tien- Tsin and killing 1,000 of The provisional government at Pe- king appears to have designs upon the southern provinces. London, July 8.- An undated Tien- Tsin dispatch to the Daily Mail, sent by way of Che-Foo July 1, says that the relieving force of 1,700 Russians and 300 British, after fighting their way, met an American relief force, 300 strong, which had started three days previously, in the most dire straits. One American officer in de- spair committed suicide. The dispatch concludes by saying that there is no rain, no crops and a prospect of pestilence and famine. Brussels, July 9. A dispatch from Shanghai received here says that, ac- cording to a high Chinese official, the two legations which were still hold- ing out on July 2 were the object of incessant attacks. There had been some losses among the troops guard- ing the legations, but the diplomatists were safe. The dispatch also says the loyal troops under Prince Ching, who is heading a counter revolution, had at- tacked the rebels in Peking. The governor of Shang- Tung, according to the same official, is reported to have declined to obey Prince Tuan's orders to seize Nanking. Further dispatches from Shanghai say the legations were holding out on July 3; that the rebels had been re- pulsed with a loss of 2,000, and that the Boxers were discouraged. They also report that a Chinese journal confirms the announcement of Prince Ching's counter revolution in Pe- king. London, July 9. The consuls at Shanghai report that the Peking le- gations were safe on July 4 and that the Chinese had ceased their attacks. The only fear felt at- that time, ac- cording to the reports of the consuls, was regarding the food supplies. Berlin, July 9. A dispatch from Tien-Tsin says the Russians unsuc- cessfully bombarded the native town on July 2. The strength of the allied troops is about 10,000. There is no fresh news regarding the situation in Peking. Kansas City, Mo., July 8. Practical fusion between the populist and dem- ocratic parties on the presidential tickets has been decided upon by the populist national committee. Unless present plans are changed, however, the democratic vice presidential can- didate will not be endorsed, whether or not Charles A. Towne decides to withdraw his name as the candidate of the populist party, as this, it is feared, would result in a large de- flection to the middle-of-the-road populists. C. A. Towne left for home late Saturday afternoon, and will stop over at Lincoln, at the invitation of W. J. Bryan. The whole situation will be thoroughly discussed, and upon Mr. Bryan's views on the matter will depend in a large measure Mr. Towne's decision in regard to the vice presidency. He will not announce his decision until he has also confer- ences with other leaders in both the democratic and populist parties, and until he does communicate with the populist national committee, which will not be for several days at least, that body will take no further action. In case Mr. Towne decides to with- draw his name as the vice presidential candidate of the populist party, the national committee will select another candidate. The sentiment apparently is against the endorsement of Mr. Stevenson, on account of the peculiar conditions ex- isting in several of the western states, notably Kansas, Nebraska and South Dakota, where the pop\ilist leaders fear the straight endorsement of the democratic ticket would jeopardize the success of the ticket. But the parties will work together in this way: In the states where the popu- list strength is the greater, the 'un- derstanding will be that the electors on both tickets will favor Bryan and Towne. This will apply especially to the western states. In the eastern states and other sections where the populists admit their party is dis- tasteful to the democrats, the elector- al tickets will be for Bryan and Ste- venson . In the electoral college, according to the general plan as. outlined, it is the intention to unite the vote, prob- ably on Mr. Stevenson. This; general plan was outlined at the meeting of the populist national committee, which was held Friday night at the close of the meeting between the conference committees of the demo- crats, populist and silver republican parties, and which adjourned early Saturday, after a protracted debate. "The whole idea is to concentrate our forces and work for the success of Wm. J. Bryan," said former Congress- man Ridgely, of Kansas, Saturday. "The democratic platform and ticket is satisfactory to us, but peculiar con- ditions exist in many states where our strength is the greatest, and we con- sider it advisable to have a complete populist ticket in the field, as in this way we can best hold our forces." Lincoln, Neb., July 9. While Mr. Towne has not announced for publi- cation his decision in the matter, it is here regarded as practically settled that he will withdraw from the popu- list ticket as a candidate for vice president, and that the name of Adlai Stevenson will be substituted by the national committee. SILVER REPUBLICANS. Nominations " Were Made, the Whole Affair Left With the National Committee. Kansas City, Mo., July 7. After a long and exciting debate, during which it looked several times as if Charles A. Towne would be nominat- ed for vice president in spite of his protest against such action, the na- tional convention of the silver repub- lican party adjourned sine die with- out making- a nomination, the whole matter being referred to the national committee, with power to act. W. J. Bryan was made the unanimous choice of the convention for presi- dent during the morning session, and it was the intention to complete the ticket in the afternoon by the nomi- nation of former Congressman Towne. The action of the democratic con- vention, however, in placing Adlai Stevenson in nomination took the del- egates off their feet, but most of them asserted their determination to nom- inate Mr. Towne notwithstanding. For two hours Senator Teller, former Congressmen Shafroth, of Colorado,, and Cheadle, of Indiana, and others made speeches in favor of indorsing the democratic ticket, but it was not until Towne himself appeared and ap- pealed to the convention not to nomi- nate him, but to concentrate their forces, that the delegates became calm and the vice presidential nomination was left to the national committee. Kansas City, Mo., July 7. The na- tional committee of the silver repub- licans organized by electing D. C. Til- loson, of Kansas City, chairman and Gen. E. S. Corser, of Minnesota, sec- retary and treasurer. The selection of an executive committee was de- ferred. Senator Dubois offered a res- olution pledging the support of the silver republicans to Adlai E. Steven- son, but there was opposition, and ac- tion was postponed until after a con- ference with the committee appoint- ed by the democratic convention. ORDERED FROM CUBA.

Orders to Recruit Troops. Chicago, July 9. Gen. Jos. Wheeler, commanding the department of the lakes, has received orders to recruit four companies of the 5th regiment, now at Ft. Sheridan, to the full quota as rapidly as possible. St. Louis, July 9. The executive committee of the local branch of the Amalgamated Association of Street Railway Employes of America decided to call a mass meeting to consider the relations existing between the St. Louis Transit Co. and its employes. It is asserted by the executive com- mittee that the agreement signed by President Whitaker, of the Transit Co., and Chairman Edwards, of the strikers' grievance committee, where- by the strike was declared off, has been violated by the former. President Whitaker, it is charged, instead of hiring the men on the list furnished, according to the agree- ment by the grievance committee, is taking on new men. This alleged ac- tion is causing considerable hard feel- ing on the part of the men who have been out of work ever since the strike began on May 8, and may result in its renewal. The advisability of resuming the strike will be passed upon at the mass meeting. Not only were the street car men actively engaged in shaping up matters for a renewal of the fight, but all other branches of organized labor in the city met and by a prac- tically unanimous vote decided to ten- der their moral and financial support to the railway men if they decided to renew the fight. Washington, July 7. As a result of recent consultations of the secretary of war with Lieut. Gen. Miles, com- manding the army, and Maj. Gen. Wood, commanding the division of Cuba, orders were issued for the re- turn to the United States from Cuba as soon as possible of the 2d, 5th and 8th regiments of infantry. These reg- iments are scattered over the island, and probably will not be able to start home for a week or ten days. They will be brought to the port of New York, and their future station will be determined before they reach that port. The recall of the Cuban troops is the first step in the programme of the war department for the replacement of the volunteer army in the Philip- pines with troops of the regular es- tablishment. It was intended to be- gin the homeward movement of the volunteers in the Philippines next No vember, but the deplorable state of affairs in China undoubtedly has caused the military authorities to hasten the departure of the outgoing troops as much as possible, with a view of utilizing them for the protec tion of American interests in China in case it is found necessary to divert them from their original destination at Manila.

The accident occurred just as the passengers who had come to the city on the Cincinnati and Cleveland ex- press from the east were leaving the station, and a number of persons had narrow escapes from being buried under the splintered timbers.' Tornado and Cloudburst in Iowa. Marshalltown, la., July 7. The re- port reaches here that a tornado and cloudburst occurred at Steamboat Rock, destroying that village. This is partly verified by the fact that the Coma river has risen five feet here within an hour. A cloudburst be- tween Stanthoney and Zearing washed out nearly a mile of track on the Iowa Central railroad and caused great damage to crops. Odds Oh McKinley. New York, July 8.

They Are the Democratic Stand- ard Bearers in the Presiden- tial Campaign of 1900. Both Received the Nomination at the Kansas City National Convention on the First Ballots. Platform adopted is qUite lengthy It Declares That Imperialism is the Paramount Issue of the Coming Political Struggle. 'It Opposes Expansion, Militarism and Trusts and Declares for the Free Coinage of Silver at the Ratio of 16 to 1. Thursday's Session. Kansas City, Mo., July 5. At 11 o'clock a. m. Thursday the slender figure of Chairman Richardson loom- ed up above the platform assemblage. Ho swung the gavel lustily, and above the din faintly could be heard his calls for order. Slowly quiet was brought out of the confusion, and the chairman presented Hi. Rev. John J. Clennin for the opening- invocation, the entire audience, delegates and spectators, standing-, reverently, with bowed heads, while the words of the prayer echoed through the building. With the conclusion of the prayer, Chairman Richardson made an earnest appeal to the delegates and specta- tors to preserve order so that the work of the convention might proceed without undue interruption. Ser- geant-at-Arms Martin added another appeal, particularly to delegates, not to bring their wives upon the floor reserved for delegates, as it kept other delegates from the seats to which they are entitled. Mr. Richard- son now announced that the platform committee was not ready to report. Pending word from them he invited to the platform ex-Gov. Hogg, of Texas, to address the convention. The giant form of the Texan ad- vanced to the front and was greeted enthusiastically. He was in good voice, and his words reverberated through the hall. When he declared that the party did not propose to surrender one iota of its attitude in 1S96, as promulgated by the Chicago convention, there was round after round of cheers. But this broke into a whirlwind of ap- proving shouts when the governor as- serted that the party's platform must contain an unequivocal and specific declaration for 16 to 1. It was no- ticeable that the delegates joined with the body of spectators in the tribute to the 16 to 1 idea. Gov. Hogg arraigned the policy of the present administration in the Philippines and foreign affairs generally, its sub- serviency to trusts. He closed with a prediction that the platform appeal- ing for a correction of existing evils would bring- victory in November. At the termination of Gov. Hogg-'s address. Chairman Richardson stepped forward to say a few words to Ser- geant-at-Arms Martin, and the crowd took' advantage of the opportunity to start the cry of "Hill." It came from all quarters of the galleries, but practically little of it from the dele- gales. Mingled with the calls were hisses. Chairman Richardson wielded the gavel vigorously, and when order was restored in some degree, announced: "Gentlemen: I have the honor to inn-educe to you Hon. A. M. Dockery, Missouri's favorite son." Mr. Dockery was warmly received. The first mention of Dewey's name since the opening of the convention was made by Mr. Dockery while dis- cussing the Philippine question, but the name of the famous admiral was received without a ripple of applause. He closed his remarks with the as- surance of democratic success and the celebration of the centennial of Jef- ferson's nomination next November. At the conclusion of the speech of Mr. Dockery, Mayor D. S. Rose, of Milwaukee, was called to the plat- form to address the convention. He made a fine impression instantly. At- tired in a black sack suit and stand- ing easily and speaking fluently, he soon stirred the audience. His voice was clear and ringing and penetrated to the uttermost parts of the hall. 'Hill," "Hill," came the cry again as Mr. Rose concluded, but the New Yorker was not present and the bands broke out with the "Star Spangled Banner." The patriotic strains had no sooner subsided than another Hill wave passed over the assemblage, del- egates going with the spectators, while some of the New Yorkers sought to offset the demand by shout- ing for "Grady," "Grady." Again the band came to the rescue. The hurrahs for Hill gave way to Dixie. At every pause, however, the Hill shouters clamored for their favorite. At 12:30-p. m., Gov. Beckham, of Kentucky, was introduced and the -convention arose and cheered. The demonstration was confined almost wholly to the delegates. The govern- or addressed the convention. After the cheers with which. Gov. Beckham's speech was received had subsided, one of the delegates in Mon- tana started the tuneful old song, "My Old Kentucky Home," and one verse of it was sung with vigor, the singing being followed by greet cheer- ing as the young' governor resumed his seat. The convention then adjourned un- til 3 p. m. Kansas City, Mo., July 5. William J. Bryan, of Nebraska, was unani- mously placed in nomination as the democratic candidate for president of the United States on a platform op- posing imperialism, militarism and trusts and specifically declaring for the free coinage of silver at the ratio of 16 to 1. The nomination came as the culmination of a frenzied demon- stration in honor of the party leader lasting 27 minutes and giving utter- ance to all the pent-up emotions of the vast multitude. It followed also a fierce struggle throughout the last 36 hours concerning the platform declaration on silver and on the rela- tive position which the silver ques- tion is to maintain to the other great issues of the day. The convention had adjourned to meet at 3 o'clock, but it was after 4 before the chairman called it to. or- der, the delay being on account of the platform committee not being ready to report. As soon as order was re- stored Chairman Jones reported the platform and it was read by Senator Tillman. It is as follows: The Platform. "We the representatives of the demo- cratic party of the United States, assem- bled in national convention, on the anni- versary of the adoption of the Declara- tion of Independence, do reaffirm our faith in that immortal proclamation of the inalienable rights of man and our allegiance to the constitution, framed in harmony with the fathers of the re- public. "We hold with the United States su- preme court that the Declaration of In- ficials plunder its . revenues and exploit the colonial theory to the disgrace of the American people. "We condemn and denounce the Phil- ippine policy of the present administra- tion. It has embroiled the republic in an unnecessary war, sacrificed the lives of many of its noblest sons and placed the United States, previously known and ap- plauded throughout the world as the champion of freedom, in the false and un- American position of crushing with mili- tary force the efforts of our former allies to achieve liberty and self-government. "We favor an immediate declaration of the nation's purpose to give to the Filipinos, first: A stable form of govern- ment; second, independence, and third, protection from outside interference, such as has been given for nearly a cen- tury to the republics of Central and South America. "The greedy commercialism which dic- tated the Philippine policy of the repub- lican administration attempts to justify it with the plea that it will pay, but even this sordid and unworthy plea fails when brought to the test of facts. The war of 'criminal agression' against the Filipinos, entailing an annual expense of many mil- lions, has already cost more than any possible profit that could accrue from the entire Philippine trade for years to come. Furthermore, when trade is ex- tended at the expense of liberty the price is always too high. We are not opposed to territorial expansion when it takes in desirable territory which can be erected into states in the union and whose people are willing and fit to become American citizens. "We favor trade expansion by every peaceful and legitimate means. But we are unalterably opposed to the. seizing or purchasing of distant islands to be governed outside - the constitution, and whose people can never become citi- zens. "We are in favor of extending the re- public's influence among the nations, but_ believe that influence should be extended, not by force and violence, but through the pursuasive power or a high and hon- orable example. "The importance of other questions now pending before the American people is in no wise diminished and the democratic COL. WILLIAM JENNINGS BRYAN. dependence is the spirit of our govern- ment, of which the constitution is the form and letter. We declare again that all governments instituted among men derive their just powers from the consent of the governed; that any government not based upon the consent of the govern- ed is a tyranny and that to impose on any people a government of force is to substitute the methods of imperialism for those of a republic. Imperialism the Paramount Issue. "We hold that the constitution follows the flag, and denounce the doctrine that an executive of congress deriving their existence and their powers from the con- stitution can exercise lawful authority beyond it or in violation of it. We as- sert that no nation can long endure half republic and half empire, and we warn the American people that imperialism party takes no backward step from its position on them, but the burning issue of imperialism growing out of the Span- ish war involves the very existence of the republic and the destruction of our free institutions. We regard it as the paramount issue of the campaign "The declaration in the republican platform adopted at the Philadelphia con- vention, held in June, 1900, that the re- publican party adheres to the policy of the Monroe doctrine is manifestly insin- cere and deceptive. This profession is contradicted by the avowed policy of that party in opposition to the spirit of the Monroe doctrine to acquire and hold sovereignty over large areas of territory and large numbers of people in the East- ern hemisphere. ( "We insist on the strict maintenance of the Monroe doctrine and in all its in- tegrity, both in letter and in spirit, as ADLAI E. STEVENSON. abroad will lead quickly and inevitably to despotism at home. ".Believing in these fundamental prin- ciples we denounce the Porto Rico law enacted by a republican congress against the protest and opposition of the demo- cratic minority as a bold and open vio- lation of the nation's organic law and a flagrant breach or the national good faith. It imposes upon the people of Por- to Rico a government without their con- rent and taxation without representa- tion. It dishonors the American people by repudiating a solemn pledge made in their behalf by the commanding gener- al of our army, which the Porto Ricans welcomed to a peaceful and unresisted occupation of their land. It doomed to poverty and distress a people whose help- lessness appeals with peculiar force to our justice and mangnamity. In this, the first act of its imperialism program, the republican party seeks to commit the United States to a colonial policy, incon- sistent with republican institutions and condemned by the supreme .court in nu- merous decisions. "We demand the prompt and honest fulfillment of our pledge to the Cuban people and the world that the United States has no disposition or intention to exercise sovereignty, jurisdiction or con- trol over the island of Cuba, except for its pacification. . "The war ended nearly two years ago;- profound peace reigns over all . the is- land, and still the administration keeps the government of the island from. its people, while republican carpet-bag 6f- necessary to prevent the extension of European authority on this continent and ! as essential to our supremacy in Ameri- can affairs. At the same time we de- clare that no American people shall ever he held by force in unwilling subjection to. European authority. Militarism denounced. "We oppose militarism. It means con- quest abroad and intimidation and op- pression at home. It means the strong arm which has ever been fatal to free | institutions. It is what millions of our ; citizens have fled from in Europe. It will impose- upon our peace-loving peo- ple a large standing army and unneces- sary burden of taxation and a constant menace to their liberties. "A small standing army and a well- disciplined state militia are amply suf- ficient in time of peace When the na- tion is in danger the volunteer soldier is his country's best defender. The na- tional guard of the United States should ever be cherished in the patriotic hearts of a free people. Such organizations are ever an element of strength and safety. For the first time in our history, and coeval with the Pnilippine conquest, has there been a wholesale departure from our time-honored and approved system of volunteer organization. We denounce it as un-American, un-democratic and un-republican, and as a subversion of ancient and 'fixed principles of a free people. The Trusts. "Private monopolies are indefensible and intolerable. They destroy competi- tion, control the price of all material and of the finished product, thus robbing both producer and consumer, they lessen the employment of labor and arbitrarily fix the terms and conditions, thereof and deprive individual energy and small cap- ital of their opportunity for betterment. "They are the most efficient means yet devised for appropriating the fruits of in- dustry to the benefit of the few at the expense of me many, and unless their insatiate greed is checked, all wealth will be. aggregated in a few hands and the republic destroyed. "The dishonest paltering with the trust evil by the republican party in state and national platforms is conclusive proof of the truth of the charge that trusts are the legitimate product of republican policies, that they are fostered by repub- lican laws and that they are protected by the republican administration in re- turn for campaign subscriptions and po- litical support. "We pledge the democratic party to an unceasing warfare in nation, state and city against private monopoly in every form. Existing laws against trusts must be enforced and more stringent ones must be enacted providing for pub- licity as to the affairs of corporations engaged in interstate commerce and re- quiring all corporate officers to show be- fore doing business outside of the state of their origin that they have no water in their stock and that they have not attempted and are not attempting to mo- nopolize any branch of business or the production of any articles of merchan- dise, and the whole constitutional power of congress over interstate commerce, the mails and all modes of interstate com- munication shall be exercised by the en- actment of comprehensive laws upon the subject of trusts. "The tariff laws should be amended by putting the products of trusts upon the free list to prevent monopoly under the plea of protection. "The failure of the present republican administration, with an absolute control over all branches of the national gov- ernment, to enact any legislation to pre- vent or even curtail the absorbing power of trusts and illegal combinations or to enforce the anti-trust laws already on the statute books proves the insincerity or the high-sounding phrases of the re- publican platform. "Corporations should be protected in all their rights and their legitimate in- terests should be respected, but any at- tempt by corporations to interfere with the public affairs of the people or to control the sovereignty which' creates them should be forbidden under such penalties as will make such attempts im- possible. We condemn the Dingley tariff law as a trust-breeding measure, skill- fully devised to give, the few favors which they do not desire, and to place upon the many burdens which they should not bear. "We favor such an enlargement of the scope of the interstate commerce law as will enable the commission to protect in- dividuals and communities from discrim- inations and the public from unjust and. unfair transportation rates. Famous Free Silver Plank. "We reaffirm and indorse the principles of the national democratic platform adopted at Chicago in 1S96, and we reit- erate the demand of that platform for an American financial system made by the American people for themselves which shall restore and maintain a bi- metallic price level and as part of such system the immediate restoration of free and unlimited coinage of silver and gold at the present legal ratio of 16 to 1 without waiting for the aid or con- sent of any other nation. "We denounce the currency Iaw en- acted at the last session of congress as a step forward in the republican policy, which aims to discredit the sovereign right of the national government to is- sue all money, whether coin or paper, and to bestow upon national banks the power to issue and control the volume of paper money for their own benefit. "A permanent national bank currency, secured by government bonds, must have a permanent debt to rest upon, and if the bank currency is to increase with popu- lation and business the debt must also increase. The republican currency scheme is therefore a scheme for fast- ening on the taxpayers a . perpetual and growing debt for .the benefit of the banks. "We are opposed to the private corpo- ration paper circulated as money, but without legal tender- qualities and de- mand the retirement of national bank notes as fast as paper or silver certifi- cates can be substituted for them; Election of Senators and Other Planks. "We favor an amendment to the fed- eral constitution providing for 'the elec- tion of United States senators by direct vote of the people. "We are opposed to government by in- junction; we denounce the blacklist, and favor arbitration as a means of settling disputes between corporations and their employes. "In the interest of American labor and the upbuilding of the workingman, as the cornerstone of the prosperity of our country, we recommend that congress create a department of labor, in charge of a secretary, with a seat in the cabi- net, believing, that the elevation of the American laborer will bring' with it in- creased production and increased pros- perity to our country at home and to our commerce abroad. "We are proud of the courage and fi- delity of the American soldiers and sail- ors in all of our wars; we favor liberal pensions to them and their dependents, and we reiterate the position taken in the Chicago platform in 1S96 that the fact of enlistment and service shall be deemed conclusive evidence against disease and disability before enlistment. "We favor the immediate construction, ownership and control of the Nicaraguan canal by the United States, and we de- nounce the insincerity of the plank in the national republican platform for an isth- mian canal in face of the failure of the republican majority to pass the bill pend- ing in congress. "We condemn the Hay-Pauncefote treaty as a surrender of American rights and interests, not to be tolerated by the American people. "We denounce the failure of the republi- can party to carry out its pledges to grant statehood to the territories of Arizona, New Mexico and Oklahoma, and we promise the people of those territories immediate statehood and home rule dur- ing their condition as territories, and we favor home rule and a territorial form of government for AlasKa and Porto Rico. We favor an intelligent system of im- proving the arid lands of the west, stor- ing the waters for the purpose of irri- gation and the holding of such lands for actual settlers. "We favor the continuance and strict enforcement of the Chinese exclusion law and its application to the same classes of Asaitic races. "Jefferson said: 'Peace, commerce and honest friendship with all nations, en- tangling alliance with none.' "We approve this wholesome doctrine, and earnestly protest against the repub- lican departure, which has involved us in so-called world politics, including the diplomacy of Europe and the intrigue and land grabbing of Asia, and we es- pecially condemn the ill-concealed repub- lican alliance with England, which must mean discrimination against other friendly nations, and which has already stifled the nation's voice, while liberty is being strangled in Africa. "Believing in the principles of self-gov- ernment and rejecting as did our fore- fathers, the claim of monarchy, we view with indignation the purpose of England to overwhelm with force the South Afri- can republic. "Speaking, as we believe, for the Amer- ican nation, except the republican office holders, and for all free men everywhere, we extend our sympathies to the heroic burghers in their unequal struggle to maintain their liberty and independence. "We denounce the lavish appropriations of recent republican congresses, which have kept taxes high, and which threaten the perpetuation of the o pressive war levies. We oppose the accumulation of a surplus to be squandered in such barefaced frauds upon the taxpayers as the ship- ping subsidy bill, which, under the false pretense of prospering American ship- building, would put unearned millions in- to the pockets of favorite contributors to the republican campaign fund. We favor the reduction and speedy re- peal of the war taxes, and a return to "We favor the reduction and speedy repeal of the war taxes, and a return to the time-honored democratic policy of strict economy in government expendi- tures. - "Believing that our most cherished in- stitutions are in great peril; that the very existence of our constitutional republic is. at stake, and that the decision "to be rendered will determine whether or not our children are to enjoy those blessed privileges of free government which have made the United States great, prosperous and honored, we' earnestly- ask for the foregoing declaration -'of principles'- the hearty .support of' the liberty-loving American people, regardless of previous party affiliations." Nominations for president were called for. Alabama -yielded to Ne- braska, and Oldham ascended the platform and nominated Bryan. When Oldham . finished his speech the convention went wild. The great- est demonstration of the convention followed. A parade of states began, with banners and flags, while the band played. This was kept up over half an hour. Judge E, B. Perkins, of Dallas, Tex., seconded the nomination of Bryan. Seconding speeches were made by ex- Senator .White, of California; Judge O. P. Thompson, of Illinois; ex-Sen- ator Hill, of New York, and half a dozen others. The roll call of states was then or- dered, and every state cast its entire vote for Bryan, and the vote was made unanimous. The convention then adjourned un- til Friday morning. Friday's Session. Kansas City, Mo., July 6. The dem- ocratic national ticket was completed by the nomination of Adlai E. Steven- son for vice president. The nomina- tion was made on the first ballot, state after state joining in the wild scramble to record its support of the winning candidate. It was not ac- companied by any such frantic dem- onstration of approval as had marked the proceedings at previous, stages, although the result followed a spirit- ed and at times highly dramatic con- test between the advocates of Steven- son, Towne, Hill and the lesser candi- dates. The distinct triumph of the day in the way of a break-away of a popular ovation was that accorded to Senator Hill, and in its spontaneity and enthusiasm was one of the most notable features the convention has produced. It was accompanied, too, by a remarkable scene when Hill ear- nestly protested to his friends against being placed in nomination, and then, finding his protest in vain, he strode to the platform and in tones which left no doubt of his sincerity earnestly besought the convention not to make him the nominee. The following are the names pre- sented to the convention as candidates for the vice presidency: Adlai E. Stevenson, of Illinois; Senator Hill, of New York; Towne, of Minnesota; J. Hamilton Lewis; Gov. J. Walter Smith; Judge Carr, of North Caro- lina, and A. W. Patrick, of Ohio.' J. Hamilton Lewis just before the roll call- withdrew his name. The vote was followed with intense interest, for when Alabama announc- ed 3 for Stevenson and 19 for Hill it looked as though there would be a close contest. But it was soon evi- dent that Stevenson had a strong lead. At the close of the call he had 559 1/2 votes, which, however, was not enough to nominate him, the requi- site two-thirds being 624. Hill had received 200 votes and Towne 89 1.2 But before the announcement of the result a strong-lunged delegate from Tennessee stood on a chair and an- nounced, "Tennessee changes her 24 votes from Hill to Stevenson." This started the tide irresistibly toward Stevenson. From every quarter of the hall came calls for recognition. Ala- bama changed to Stevenson, Califor- nia did the same, North Carolina changed from Carr to Stevenson. Even New York finally and reluctant- ly announced its change from Hill to Stevenson. That ended it. Steven- son's nomination was assured, al- though for some time longer the va- rious states continued to record their changes from Towne and other candi- dates to Stevenson. In the end the nomination was made unanimous. Its announcement was greeted with en- thusiastic applause, and again state, standards and banners were borne about the building in tribute to the nominee. As soon as order was restored a res- olution was passed congratulating Kansas City upon the fine convention building; the usual resolutions of thanks to the officers of the conven- tion were adopted, and the conven- tion adjourned sine die.

The Democratic National Convention finished its work at Kansas City Fri- day by nominating Hon. Adlai Steven- son, of Bloomington. Ills., for Vice- President. Mr. Stevenson is a native of Kentucky, and is too. well known to re- quire any introduction. The ticket, Bryan and Stevenson, is a splendid one, and is the strongest that could have been nominated. The platform is in brief, as follows: The constitution follows the flag. No nation can long endure half repub- lic and half empire, and imperialism abroad will lead quickly and inevitably to despotism at home. The Porto Rico tariff law is a bold and open violation of the Nation's or- ganic law and flagrant breach of nat- ional good faith. Demands prompt and honest fulfill- ment of pledge to Cuba. Denounces the republican Philippine policy which has involved the republic in unnessary war. Demanis for Filip- inos, first, a stable from of government; second, independence; third, protection from outside interference. PARAMOUNT ISSUE. "The importence of other questions now pending before the American peo- ple is in no wise diminished and the Democratic party takes no backward step from its position on them, but the' burning issue of imperialism growing out of the Spanish war involves the very ex- istance of the Republic and the de- struction of our free institutions. We regard it as the paramount issue of the campaign." Monroe Doctrine reaffirmed. Opposes militarism. Arraigns trusts. Pledges unceasing warfare on private monopoly. Reaffirms the Chicago platform, and demands restoration of free and unlimi- ted coinage at the ratio of 16 to 1, with- out the aid or consent of any other nation. Favors election of U. S. Senators by direct vote of the people. Favors ownership of Nicaraguan canal. Extends sympathies with the Boers. Demands reduction and speedy repeal of the war taxes. Cassius M.

There is no alignment and little semblance of. concerted ac- tion, says Thomas F. Millard, in Scirib- ner's. Yet the concerted action. Is there. Having- been broadly instruct- ed by the commandants as to the gen- eral object and plan of the movement, the Boers start, moving rapidly, enough while at long range, yet cau- tiously, too. To conceal himself behind what, to the ordinary man, would seem ridiculously inadequate cover, is; an instinct with the Boer, born of the veldt and its ways. Thus, running in a crouching attitude, and keeping out of sight- as much as possible, the thin, widely-scattered line moves forward until a point is reached within effect- ive rifle range, of the enemy. Then the real attack begins, and the pe- culiar methods of the Boer begin to operate. It will not be a movement of the whole line, but only of a small seg- ment. A certain number, of men in each commando, amounting.probably to one-fourth, has been told off before the attack began, to hold cover when rushes were made, and concentrate their fire upon the enemy. These men lie securely sheltered!, their . steady rifles- at shoulder and pointed, their watchful eyes scanning the positions of the defenders. The signal is given, and the rush begins. Up spring 50 or l€0 men, with rifles held loosely at a "trail," and dash for- ward at full speed, leaping over the ground like Zulu runners. A few scat- tering- shots give warning- of the hot- ter fire to come. Prone on. the earth go the charging Boers. Cr-r-r-ash! comes the volley. Up again, and a wild scurry on for half a minute before the second volley can come; then down again, each man under cover. Fifty rards have been gained. To see a body '.tf men spring up suddenly and dash toward them is calculated; to flurry any troops. The Boers have counted upon this, and for it the reserved marksmen are prepared. Startled for a moment out of his presence of mind, or in his eagerness to get a fair shot, Tommy Atkins will expose himself. A aead, a shoulder, an arm or leg shows. It is a sufficient mark for a Boer. The Mausers yelp in a stammering chorus, and- a score of gentlemen in khaki grope blindly about in the dirt and gravel. 0 A charge, such as the Boers make, is robbed, of all story-book picturesque- ness and glamour. The glitter of sword and bayonet, the smoke and flame, the bright- uniforms, the in- spiring cheers, the precision of ser- ried ranks, the gallantly carried battle flags to be presently planted on the earthworks of the enemy, are all lack- ing. They belong to the war of the past. In their stead, a crouching, creeping line of dirt-covered men, shuf- fled by the varying chances of the fight out of all. resemblance to order; brown, bare, sun-seorched, bowlder-flecked ridges, dotted here and there -with stunted bushes, hazjr with heat, and alive with projectiles; the keen rattle of rifle fire, punctuated by the stutter- ing- of machine guns, and broken into full periods by the reverberating roar of heavy artillery, now and:ag-ain seem- ing- to die only to break out afresh; and all this for hour after hour, each pass- ing- moment .claiming a victim to sprawl in agony on the superheated rocks. Such is modern war, as typified in South Africa to-day. HOW PEOPLE ARE VICTIMIZED. "A Fool and His Money Soon Parted" Proves to Be a Truthful . Old Adage. ENGLISH PHRASES TOO MUCH. Carriage Talk.

A Lately Airrived Frenchwoman Has Trouble in Making: Herself Understood. A French woman living in Chicago who has been in this country only a year has been having "a terrible strug- gle with 1 he English language. Very often, say;; the Chronicle, she is com- pletely bewildered by the varietj- of ways in which the same idea may be expressed, but she is even more per- plexed by the variety of ideas de- noted by the same expression. She has a young woman friend in Paris who is an expert milliner. The girl in Paris is very anxious to come to this country to try her fortune, and also to be with her old friend. The Chica- go lady, erstwhile of France, is ex- tremely desirous of doing what she can for her friend and has been mak- ing strenuous endeavors to secure her a situation. A few days ago she went to one of the largest stores in Chicago with a letter cf introduction to one of the proprietors. The letter was pre- sented and the proprietor, after read- ing the letter, asked what he could do for madame. "I haf," said she, "von leetle friend in Paree, and- she ess as mooch bet- taire as ees no milnaire in Che-kay- go. I vould vish she vos in zis le grande' store." "Indeed, raadame," replied the pro- prietor, "I should be very glad to give your friend a trial, but really we have no room for her." "Oh, zat make no difFeren about ze room," interrupted madame, "she can leep wif me." On another occasion the 'French woman entered a store to purchase a pair of street gloves. She approached the counter and made known her wants as best she could. "What size do you wear?" asked-the :lerk. "Oh, about half-past five, I guess," was the response. Big: Bonanza. This is a famous mine that is some- times referred to-as the Consolidated Virginia. It has had an enormous out- put, being one of the richest silver mines in America. It is located at Vir- ginia City, Nevada, and; has the record of having- produced $10,000,0OO of silver within a year. Detroit Free Press "I have a client," said an F street lavvyer to a Washington/Star reporter "whose faith and. credulity should "be restrained. There are many such per- sons all over the country, who seem desirous of being gulled "Every once in awhile one of these schemes of obtaining, money under false pretenses'; always morally and frequently legally, is exposed in the press- to good effect. "There are many of1 these nets into which the dollars of the duped fly. Of the schemes one of ,the most pop- ular is the alleged 'contests' of jumbled words or letters. All offer 'prizes' to the 'winners.' If these propositions are carefully read it will be observed that a 'date' is al- ways set when the 'competition' will end, and that- the person addressed will miss 'half, his life' if he dbes not enter into the 'contest' forthwith. Some of these alleged contests are 'free,' others requiring the payment of a sum of money to 'enter.' "This client of mine went into one of these contests, sent on a dollar and then consulted me. I advised him to let- his money go and not to exercist his brain in arranging- jumbled words in the future. He handed me a letter he had received, which read something like this:" " 'Esteemed Friend.: Some time ago you answered our jumbled-letter con- test. Promptly on receipt of same we notified you that you were one of the successful contestants. Since then we have not received] a line from you. Now, as several letters have come back- to us misdirected we thought that yours was one of them, for we feel quite sure that had you received our letter we would have had. an answer ere this, as the puzzle was such a hard one that those who succeeded in solv- ing- the same can congratulate 'them- selves. The only condition, imposed is that you will forward' one dollar as a subscription to our magazine, and you may have a beautiful premium as well. " 'Eemember that this is the only condition, and if you do not send us one dolLar you will positively have no standing in the contest and your an- swer will have no consideration. Do not miss this opportunity (one which you will never have again the longest day you live). So send one .dollar by return mail. Remember that we are not to be classed with other puzzle pro- pounders.' etc., etc. "Rich, isn't it? Yet there are people by the thousands all over the country who are daily being- taken in by such dead open-and-shut, grab bags for ob- taining money. Some of them are. swindles' and are receiving the altera- tion of the government to the extent that their mail is stopped. Others, like this one, sail along the edge of actual fraud, as the fish, when land.ed. receives an alleged magazine or something which is not actually fraudulent for his money. At the same time, in. this case, if the amount were large enough to warrant a suit I believe that these con- cerns could be reached- by legal proc- ess. vI need scarcely add that all of the 'contestants' answering are in- formed that they are 'successful.' That's the bait at which they bite.and their dollar landed, while the 'hard" puzzles are so simple that any child can solve them." RUNS DOWN A SWINDLER. Society Woman Succeeds in Doing What the Police and a Private Detective Failed to Do. Prominent Brooklynites hare been swindled by a handsome young wom- an, who, on the plea of poverty and hardship and by means of the use of the name of Mrs. Louise D. Euxton, has obtained in the last six weeks nearly $2,000, it is said. . The police believe that they have the perpetrator of this swindling scheme in the person of a young- wom- an who was arrested the other day as the result of detective work done By Mrs. Euxton. The woman gives her name as Jennie Roberts. Among those who have been victim- ized are Mrs. "Deacon" Stephen V. White, John E. Searles, Mrs. R. Ross Appleton and others. Mrs. Ruxton, who is the wife of a wealthy ink manufacturer, says that last November the young woman came to her house and told a pitiful tale. She was dressed- in mourning. Her husband, she said between sobs, had been employed in Mr. Ruxton's fac- tory, but had died, leaving her to sup- port a family of five brothers and. sis- ters. Mrs. Ruxton believed the womaniand gave her $25. 'At various times after that, at social affairs oh the Heights, Mrs: Ruxton was approached by friends who said that the woman had been to them, using Mrs. Ruxton's name, and that they had been glad to help her. They soon came to the con- clusion that they had all been victim- ized. Mrs. Ruxton complained to the po- lice. They did nothing. She then, hired a private detective. He failed to find the woman. Then Mrs. Ruxton decided to run down the woman her- self, and for some time has been on the lookout. While driving in her car- riage in Fulton.on street she espied Jen- nie Roberts in the street. Mrs. Ruxton alighted, and followed the woman until she could turn her over to a police- man. In her possession was a book con- taining- the names and addresses of about 100 prominent Brooklyn men and women. After some of them was a note describing their characteristics and against many names were the amounts that had been received from them. O.W.DAVIS, FURNITURE. CARPETS, WALL PAPER, ETC. FUNERAL.

CEREMONIOUS OLD PEOPLE They Are Scandalized by- the Lack of Respect That Is Manifested Nowadays Every now and then an elderly mar- ried, couple will meet who address each other with the stateliness that was cus- tomary 30 years ago, says the Balti- more News. The husbandis "Mr. Smith' to the wife and' the wife is usually Mother" to the husband, nothing-lesa conventional is ever heard from them, indeed, neither might have a first name for all the use that his better half makes of it. "I just couldn't call your father Charlie," a quiet little woman said the other day, in answer to her daughter's gibings, "why it wouldn't be respect- ful. I never did in my life, and I cer- tainly wouldn't now, when.you are all grown." '"But what did you call Mm when you were engaged?" persisted her inquisi- tor. You surely didn't go around: then calling- each other Mr. Jones and Miss Smith." "We didn't always," replied the little woma-n, evasively, "but I liked to give him his title even then it's more re- respectful, much more respectful." "I'd rather have more affection and less respect," said the daughter, re- bclliously. "It doesn't sound as if you had anything but a bowing acquaint- ance with him when you say Mister all the time. I'm going to call my husband Fritz whether it's his name or not, it has such a jolly air." And the average mrrrried couplte of this day and age, with a fine disregard for respect and old-fashioned courtesy, usually call each other by a nickname of varying degrees of beauty,, and which has oftentimes a remote connection with the one given them in baptism. But after all one likes this way better than the stiff conventionality which ted a woman all through a niarired life At 30 or 40 years to address her liege lord as Mr. Smith, or Jones, or Brown, just as though he were verily her mas- ter and she were living in medieval times when exaggerated politeness marked the intercourse between men and women. One of the most pathetic scenes ever witnessed at the capitol was the part- ing of the blind chaplain and the mem- bers of congress the day of adjourn- ment. There is scarcely a man in the house but who has formed an attach- ment for Chaplain Couden,xand yet not. many frequenters of the capitol know the cause of his affliction. While a private during the civil war a shell burst near him, and the flying frag- ments deprived him of his sight. A story related of the incident is that while Chaplain Couden was being car- ried from the field of battle some one said: "Poor fellow, he will never see again; he might better be dead." He replied: "Don't be too sure of that, boys, you may hear from me yet." Since then, and as chaplain of the house, more than one of the boys who sat round the camp fire with him has listened to his touching prayers from his stand at the speaker's desk, to some reference to the days when he "soldiered with the boys." Dr. Couden is not less a poet than an able scholar, and one of his greatest delights is to compose and read verses of his own at a reunion of his comrades. He is by far the most popular chaplain the house has ever had. tHE DIRECT LINE BETWEEN AND CHICAGO, ......VIA...... INDIANAPOLIS THE MARKETS. Cincinnati, July 7.

The keen De- cember wind swept down the crowded thorough fare, nipping the noses and ears of the gay pedestrian:-, comfort- ably muffled in their warm wraps. Broadway was thronged with the usual holiday shoppers and pleasure- seekers. Cabs with their jaded steeds driven /by weatherbeaten jehus, and private carriages behind veil-groomed horses handled by liveried coachmen, deftly made their way through the crowds and deposited their fares at the entrances of the brightly-lighted thea- ters or fashionable restaurants. A wizened hag. seated'on the curbstone at the corner, seemed to shrink into herself with the cold as she turned the crank of her tiny barrel-organ and ground out a dismal and scarcely au- dible cacophony; while an anxious- eyed newsboy, not yet in his teens, shiv- ered on the opposite side of the way. as. with tremulous lips? he solicited a purchaser for his unsold stock. One could hardly be expected to open :i warm overcoat on such a cold night, for the sake of throwing a cent to an old beggar woman, or of buying a news- paper from a ragged urchin. Even the gajiy decorated shop windows failed to arrest the idle passerby; for it re- quired perpetual -notion to keep the blood in circulation. The giant policeman on the crossing, representing the majesty of the law, swayed the crowd of vehicles and pedes- trians with the authoritative gestures of his ponderous hands, and gallantly escorted bands of timid women through the inextricable maze. And withal, the cable cars, with their discordant clangor, rumbled rapidly to and fro, like noisy shuttles, shoot- ing the woof of the many-hued fabric which is the life of a gTeat city- Presently from one of the side streets there came a cab, which started leisure- ly to cross Broadway. The big police- man, with his eyes fixed upon an ap- proaching car, held up a warning-hand, to which the driver seemed to pay no attention, for the reins remained slack and the listless horse continued to move slowly across the avenue. Several people turned to look with mild curiosity at the bold cabman who dared thus to disregard the authority of blue cloth and brass buttons. Their surprise turned quickly to .".mazement. and dismay when their eyes rested upon him; for liis head had fallen forward upon his chest and his limp body swayed upon the box with every mo- tion of the cab. He seemed unconscious of his surroundings," like one drunk or in a stupor. At his side sat a young- man closely muffled in his overcoat, and with a sealskin cap pulled well down over his ears. His face was deathly pale. Those who caught sight of his features saw that his bloodless lips were firmly set. and that, his eyes glittered with a fev- erish light. He carried one hand in the lapel of his coat. With the other he shook the inert form of 1he uncon- scious cabman, in an effort to arouse him to a sense of the impending danger. The situation flashed upon the cripman on the car. Instantly he threw his weight upon the brake- wheel. at the same time loudly sound- ing his gong. The policeman, too, un- derstood in a twinkling what was about to happen, and rushed for the horse's head. But it was too late. The cab was fairly across the track when the car. with slackened speed, crashed into :it. Just, .before'the collision, the young man in The sealskin cap sprang from the box to the.-street. He landed upon his feet; but, {losing his balance, he fell forward upon his left arm. which still remained :in the lapel of his coat He must'have hurt himself; for those standing near :him heard him groan But the -center of interest was else- where, .and .no one paid much atten- tion to the young- man, who. arising quickly, -disappeared in the crowd. The cab, :after tottering for an in-: stant on two wheels, fell over upon its side with a loud noise of splinter- ing wood ;and .breaking- glass. The driver rolled off the box. in a heap. At th.e :sasae rtime, rfihe panic-strictest passengers .on .the car rushed madly for itiue ..doors, fighting like will beasts an -their haste -;to reach a place of safety. After tine ;frrst -frenzied moment, art became evident that although badIy shaken up, the passengers had re- ceived bo Injuries, except ssuch bruises as they hadinflicted upon each other an their mad struggle to escape. By this time a crowd bad collected about The overturned cab., a several more policemen had come to the' assist- ance of the first .one, who was now seated serenely upon the head of the cab-borse, a precaution seemingly superfluous, for the poor beast, though uninjured, appeared to be quite satisfied to rest where he lay until he should be forced once more to resume the grind of his unhappy existence. The cabman had been rudely shaken by his fall. He had lain as unconscious for the space of a few seconds; then, with assistance he had managed to struggle to hi feet. He stood now as though dazec by the shock, trj-ing to understand what had happened. "Are you hurt?"' inquired one of th policemen. The man, mumbling an unintelligi ble reply, raised his hand to a scalp wound from which the blood was flowing freely. At that moment two men forced their way through the crowd whic a circle of policemen had some diffi culty in keeping at a distance from the wounded cabman. One was middle-aged individual, who gave his name as Dr. Thurston and offered his services as a physician: the other wa a young man with keen gray eyes who said nothing, but exhibited a re porter's badge. The physician at once turned his attention to the cabman; felt him thumped him, pinched him; smelt hi breath; and then delivered his ver- dict: "No bones broken. The slight scalp wound doesn't amount to any thing. The man has been drinking heavily. He is simply drunk." The horse had by this time been unharnessed and the cab' had been lifted upon its wheels again. The reporter stood by a silent and apparently listless spectator of ths scene. Dr. Thurston turned to him: "Come along. Sturgis; neither vox nor I are needed, here; and if we do not hurry, Sprague's dinner will have to wait for us. It is a quarter to eight now." The reporter seemed about to follow his friend, but he stood, for an instant irresolute. "I say. doctor." he inquired at last "are you sure the man is drunk?"' "He has certainly been drinking heavily. Why?" "Because it seems to me Hello, we cannot go yet; the passenger is more badly hurt than the driver." "The passenger?" queried the phy- sician, turning in surprise to the police- man. "What passenger?" asked the police- man, looking at the cabman. "Have you a passenger inside, young feller?" "Xaw."' replied the cabman, who seemed to be partially sobered by the shock and loss of blood. "Naw, 1 ain't got no fare, barrin' the man wot was on the box." The reporter observed the man close- ly as he spoke; and then, pointing to the step of the cab, which was plainly visible in the glare of a neighboring electric lamp: "I mean the passenger whose blood is trickling there," he said, quietly. Every eye was turned in the direction of his outstretched hand. ' A few drops of a thick dark liquid had oozed from under the door, and was dripping upon the iron step. The cab door was closed and the curtain was drawn down over the sash, the glass of which had been shattered by the fall. One of the policemen tried to open the door. It stuck in the jamb. Then j he exerted upon it the whole of his | brute strength; and, of a sudden, it j yielded. As it flew open the body of a man lurched from the inside of the cab, j and before anyone could catch it tum- bled in a heap upon the pavement. A low cry of horror escaped from tlie crowd. The cabman's passenger was a man past middle age, neatly but plainly dressed. As Dr Thurston and a ];oKeeman bent over the prostrate forn:. the re- porter shot a keen glance in the direc- tion of the cabman, who stood staring at the body with a look of ghastly ter- ror in his bulging eyes. Presently the physician started to his feet with a low exclamation of sur- prise. "Is he dead, doctor?" asked the po- liceman. "He has been dead for some time," .replied the physician, impressively; "the body is almost cold." "Been dead for some time?" echoed ithe policeman. "Yes; this man was shot. See there!" As he spoke he pointed to a red streak which, starting from the left side of ithe dead man's coat, extended down- ward and marked the course of the tiny stream in which the life blood had flawed to a little pool on the floor of the cab. Sh.ot!" exclaimed the policeman, who turned immediately to one of his brother officers. "Keep your eye on the cabman, .Jim- We'll have to take him an.. And .look look out for the other man, Then addressing the cabman, upon each .of whose shoulders a policeman's hand was immediately placed, he asked. roug-hly-; "Wko is this man?' The cabman was completely sober now. Ife stood, pale and trembling1, be- tween his two captors, as he replied sol- emnly: 'Before God. I don't know, boss. I never saw him before." The policeman looked at the man in blank amazement for an instant. Then he turned away contemptuously. "All right, young feller," he said "you don't have to confess to me. But I guess you'll have a chance to tell tha story to a judge and. jury." Then he proceeded to examine the dead man's pockets. They were empty "Looks like robbery," he murmured "What is it, Jim? Haven't You got the other man?" Jim had not found the other man for the pale young fellow in the seal skin cap had disappeared. The reporter was stooping over th body, while Dr. Thurston cut throng!" the clothing- and laid bare a small round wound-; "Here is another bullet wound." saic Sturgis. turning over 1 lie body slightly, and pointing otif a second round hoi -in the back of the. dead man. He seemed to take great interest in this discovery. He whipped out a steel tape and rapidly btit carefully took a number of nreasurements, as i to locate the positions of the two wounds. Then he stepped into the cab and, striking match after match, h spent several minutes apparently in eager search for something which h could not find1. "That is strange," he muttered to himself, as he came out at last. "What is it?" inquired Thurston who alone caught the words. But the reporter either did not bea or did not care to answer. He at once renewed his search on the brilliantly lighted1 pavement in the immediate vi cinity 'of the cab; examining every stone, investigating every joint and every rut. prodding with his cane every lump of frozen mud. turning- every stray scrap of paper. "Well, doctor," he said, when a length he rejoined his companion, "i you have done all that you can we may as well go. It is one of the prettiest problems I have met; but there is nothing more for me to learn here for the present. By the way. as I was say- ing when I interrupted myself a littl while ago, are you sure the cabman is drunk? T wish 3rou would take another good look at him. The question may be more important than it seemed at. first." A few minutes later the physician and the reporter were hurrying alon to make up for the time they had lost; the cab and the cabman had disap peared in the custody of the police and the cabman's grewsome rare was jolting through Twenty-sixth -street in the direction of a small building which stand's near the East river, ;a in which the stranded waifs of the-new world metropolis scan find rest at last upon a stone slab, 5n frre beginning of their eternal sleeps Broadway had resumed 'its holiday- aspect; the widened hag at the corner still patiently ground'out Trer plaintive discords; tht. tearful newsboy, with his slowly diminishing arminl of news papers, continued to shiver in the cold wind, as he -offered Iris stock to the hurrying pedestrians; the big police man again piloted his fair charges through the mass of moving vehicles and the c;amgomg cable cars started once more -on their rumbling course I mean the passenger whose blood is trickling there" as if the .snapping of a thread in the fabric of a, city's life were .a thing of constant occurrence and of .no mo- ment A few tiny dark red stains oipon the pavement were:aJil that remained to tell the story -of. the :scene which had so recently been ennacted in the busy thoroughfare Presently even these were obliterated by the random .stroke of a horse's hoof. The ripple had disappeared from the surface. The stream of lif.e -was flow- ing steadily once more through the arteries of the metropolis. CHAPTER II THE WAGER. "What I mean to assert," said Ealph Sturgis, with quiet conviction, "is that every crime is its own historian; that all its minutest details are written in circumstantial evidence-as completely as an eyewitness could see them ay7e, more fully and more truly than they could be described by the criminal him- self." The reporter was a man of about 30. whose regular features bore the un- mistakable stamp of intelligence and refinement. In repose, they wore an habitual expression of introspective concentration, which might have led a careless observer to class Ralph Stur- is in the category of aimless dream- ers. But a single flash of the piercing ray eyes generally sufficed to dispel any such impression; and told of keen perception and underlying power. The mouth was fiirm and.kind; ihe bearing that of a gentleman and a man of edu- cation. "But," objected the host, "you surely do not mean to express a belief in the nfallibility of circumstantial evi- dence?" "Why not?" "Because you must know as well as anyone how misleading uncorroborated circumstantial evidence is. 1 do not for- get what remarkable results you havf often accomplished for the Daily Tem- pest in detecting and following ur clews to which the official detective;- were blind. But. frankly, were not your conclusions usually the result oj lucky guesses, which would have re mained comparatively useless as evi- dence had they not been subsequently proved correct by direct testimony?" "Let me reply to your question by an- other, Sprague," answered Sturgis. "When you draw a check, does the pay- ing teller at the bank require the tes- timony of witnesses to your signatxire before admitting its genuineness?" ";No; of course not." "Precisely. He probably- knows the signature of Harvey if. Sprague, the depositor, better than he does the face of Sprague. the artist. And yre1 the evidence here is purely circum- stantial. I know of at least one re- cent instance in which the officials oi a New York bank placed their im- plicit reliance upon circumstantial evidence of this sort, in spite of the direct testimony of the depositor; who was willing to acknowledge the genuineness of a check to which his name had been forged." "I suppose you refer to the Forsyth case," said Sprague; "but you must remember that Col. Forsyth was actuated by the desire to shield the forger, who was his own scapegrace son." [To Be Continued.] AN ANGRY FATHER. He Undertookto Intimidate a School- Teacher, But Got the Worst of It. When Charles D. Folsom, the New York lawyer, left Phiilips-Exeter academy, New Hampshire, he had a distinct feeling of pride that he was graduated from the same school that sent Daniel Webster to fight the bat- tle of life, and, because Webster's second step was school teaching, and because he needed the money, he adopted this profession. From this time, on, to use iis own words, all likeness between his own and the' great statesman's career end- ed, says the Philadelphia Saturday Evening Post. It was at Sanbornton Square, New Hampshire. There were four giants -off boys in the school, all over 18 years oi age, and Mr. Folsom was only 19. But he had the advantage of prac- tical physical training on his side. One day the father of one of the giants,' who had a bad reputation as a local fighter, drove up to the school- house with an ax and asked for the teacher. He hammered on the door for several moments, and when the teacher appeared he returned to his buggy. The irate parent said: "Young-man, did you lick one of my boys yesterday?" "I did, sir." "Well, if you do it again I'll fix you." "No,, .you won't," was the answer; "I'll whip your boys so long as they are under my- charge and disobey the rules.'' "Well, we'll see," said the man. pre- fparing- to get out. It just then occurred to Mr. Fol- som that this was his time, and he lifted the bed of the light buggy oft: '.the wheels and tipped it over. Into the ditch rolled the man with the ax, while the teacher and 35 school chil- dren looked on and grinned. It was too much for the man, and, adjusting the buggyr top, he rode qiiietly away. Took a. Costly IVap. To begin with, he's "a good fellow." That's; a phrase easier understood by men than by women. It generally means we7l, it means he's an all- round good sort in the. male line, says the Philadelphia Press. The other afternoon he was feeling pretty- good. He had been quite thirsty-, if what he had taken was to be judged as a criterion. And the li- bations left him in a thoroughly good humor, and he felt at peace with the world. In this delightful mental and physical state he bethought, him of a friend of his in Providence, R. I. And he further thought that he would call up that particular friend on the tele- phone. So he went to a Broad street hotel, told the yroung woman there who had charge of the 'phone that he wanted to speak to Mr. So-and-So- in Providence, and wouldn't she kindly call up the party. The girl did as she was bade. "Party on the 'phone," she said, and the man went into the tele- phone box. sat down and put the re- ceiver to his ear. And then he calmly and sweetly dropped off to sleep. When he woke up he owed the tele- phone company $32.90. He said he wouldn't pay it but he did.
