Mr. Cicero irucharan, chairman of the meeting, sold. In introducing General Harrl:on: "The distinguished pentleman who honors lis with his presence to-night has beaten his iwm on the drum of the world's ears.

A Comp&rliun of Financial and Tariff Policies. As Mr. Buchanan concluded General Harrison arose and was again greeted by rounds of cheers. ' When quiet had been restored he spoke as follows: "My.Fellow-citizens I have already Fpoken eeven times to-day. My voice is somewhat strained, and, therefore, I begin by asking those who are somewhat uncomfortably situated in the rear of the hall to bear their discomfort patiently and to maintain perfect quiet in the hall. "About two years ago the country endowed the Democratic party with full powr In the United States. That period of lime has been one of unusual commercial depression and of extraordinary distress. It Is quite a living qurstion to-day what brought about this condition. We know theorder of events as to time the election of 2SW and what has followed Itbut I freely admit that that which is subsequent in time Is not necessarily an effect. "I ask your attention for a few moments to the condition of the country as evidenced hy -the government finances and by the coiviition of business an It prevailed in 1S32. I do this with freedom, because whatever was contributed by the government to the prosperity we once enjoyed was the result of policy, of legislation and of administration, and not the fruit of any man's labor, and from the further fact that what has resulted 1n the way of disaster need not be Imputed to any man. hut may properly be imputed to the legislative policies which have been threatened and which have betn pursued. When I say the country in 1S2 was highly prosperous I can eppeal to the experience of those who hear me. 1 do not need to consult authorities. The proof does not lie in history; it lies in the memory and in the experience of those who are now in my presence. 1 appeal to your experience and to your memory if it was not true that in Ktt all the great industrial Interests in this country were actively employed and at remunsratlve prices. I appeal to you if it was not true that every willing hand was then employed at wacres that were remunerative, ana mat tave subsistence to the workman, but left u margin, of ho:e and comfort for his Tuture. FIGURES THAT SPEAK. "I want to call your attention just to a few figures, and I fchall not much indulge In them, to show the situation in which the country then -was. The total wealth of thi.i country has Increased in thirty years of protection, from 1S00 to 1800, 27 per cent. The total wealth of the country in was 116,0,000,000; in ISM, it was ?G2.10,OCO,000, an increase of 257 per cent. In the ten years ending, in 1830. we had doubled the capital In manufactures In this country, the numJer of employes, the wages earned by them and the value of the product. Wages had Increased 41.71 per cent. The value of imports for the tiscal year 1802 were UOO.OUO, and the value of exports for the name year, Jl.OCO.OCO.OOO. The excess of our exports of 1832 over the year 1S31 was $146,OjO.ooo, and the excess in the year 1892 over the average of our exports for the preceding ten years was $2C3,00,00O. Our total lorelffn trade for 1S92 was $1.K7,0uO.OuO, an Increase-over the previous year of 1128,000,CoO; an. increase over the average preceding years of $4X),OuO,GOO. Our foreign trade in that year, 1S32, being the sum of our exports and imports, was larger than in any previous year in the history of the countryAnd from 1330 to 1832. according to the Btatlstlcs of the manufacturing Journals, there have been In those years 343 new industrial plants built in this country. There liave been extensions and enlargements of 108 more. There has been new capital invested in manufactures to the extent of X-O.OUO.OUJ. "Now. my friends. If the people were prosperous and If these astounding figures represent the state or the Nation's foreign trade, and if I add the fact that our domestic trade. our. commerce between the estates, the lakes, river and railroad was at that time the largest in our history, X ask what remains to oemonstrate the fact that, as the result of thirty years of the application of the principle of protection in our tariff, we have made these enormous strides in wealth and in production. "Now let us look a little at the condition of the government at that time. There had been a large surplus in the treasury. We hear a creat deal now that the Secretary of the Treasury who preceded Mr.. Carlisle dissipated that surplus and left him without any. Now. 1 recall to mind that In previous campaigns, especially in the campaign of l&a4. our Democratic friends were bitterly complaining that thre was a surplus In the treasury. I vrv wll rMnmlwr th forcible nniip.iU of our lamented friend, ex-Governor Hendricks, who went about the State telling the people that there was JWO.OOO.OO') sur- . Xdus In the treasury, and that it was an outrage that it was taken out of the hands and rockets of the people and locked up In Koverrtnent vaults. Now? our Democratic friend complain that there is no surplus, and it is a characteristic of the party that they are not happy under any conditions. There was no such surplus as 5WO.0U0.C0O, and I well remember, very pos sibly in this hail, the pains 1 was at in my address to the people to explain to thsm that a very large part of this 540O,IkmJ.OOO was trust funds in the hands of the government. One hundred millions wera set apart, for the redemption of government notes. certain others for the redemption of national bank bills of - banks jone out of existence. . certain other parts for other trust purposes. And we were at frreat pains to show the "Democrats that there was not o much of a surplus as they complained of. lut there was a large surplus during Mr. Cleveland's first administration; there was a large surplus during the administration that followed his. WHKirC THE SURPLUS WENT. Ftiit now. mv muntrvmpn. when we hp.ir eoy complaint of that surplus or the absence of It, let us stop for one moment to cee what was done with it. A number of ur Democratic friends have been arguing through many campaigns that it ought not to be kept in the national vaults, but it ought to be out circulating among the people, and there was great force in ' the argument. Money locked up in the vaults of the United States was withdrawn from among the people and the tendency of it was to create-a money stringency. Many of the people were complaining of our per capita, of money circulation as being too large, as it was, and It was reduced by us, as there was an unusual surplus locked up in the treasury. That surplus was made the foundation of Democratic argument then for the reduction ot tariff duties. They said there Is this great surplus. Taxation is too high. We must reduce these duties upon imports, and so reduce the revenue in order to avoid the accumulation of surplus in the treasury vaults; and now that there is no surplus, and there Is a deficiency (an Increase in the manufactured deficiency) they still insist that they must reduce the duties on imports, and absolutely advised a tariff bill In the House that would have created a deficiency of seventylive millions in the revenue of the government. What use to make cf that surplus; how it should be gotten out of the treasury was the problem. At the beginning we had nc bonds that .were due and the people who hel 1 our bonis that were not due would not Klve thern up unless the government paid the current market rate for them. There were two ways of getting the money into circulation. One was to deposit it in a national bank, taking the bonis of the government as security from the bank, and letting the bank lend It out to the people. This policy was aJoptcd by Mr. FairchllJ as Secretary of the Treasury. Very many millions of dollars I cannot state the exact amount now were deposited In banks over the country. The effect of that policy was this: The covemment continued to pay Interest on thee bonds which it hell a3 security and had actually pill into the hands of the banks that owned the bonds the full face value of the bonds in money, and the bank was lending that money out and getting interest on It. It would be as if you had my note for 31.000. and it had some years to run and my credit was such and the rate of interest was such that It was worth a premium. You decline to surrender it to me; you say tt j3 too good an investment. I will hel l It until It is due and you hall pay me interest for the U yenrs it has to run. and I should say: 'Well my dar sir. here Is ti.om and I shall puf it Into Z't hr.da and you clve me my note and

I will pay you Interest semi-annually and hold it as security for the 31.000. and you

ctn loan tiis Jl.Oio out and get Interest on U:at.' That was one way of getting the suri.us into circulation. MIL WINDOM'S WAV. "The . Secretary of the Treasury, Mr. Windom, did rot think that was a good way. He thought it would be a good deal better for the government to take that money to buy its bonds at once at the current rates In the market at Just what bankers and other financiers were paying for them, and buying them at that rate he got money into circulation and saved an enormous amount of interest that the people would be compelled to pay If the bonds had run to maturity and we had paid Interest on them semi-annually. Which of thee policies do you think was the best? '-.ov, there is something more to be talkec of in connection with this. There was. during Mr. WIndom's administration of the treasury, a pension bill passed that very largely Increased the expenditures of the government. 1 have no apologies to make for that. I recommended its passage. 1 approved the bill; I approve It still. (Applause.) I believed then and now that the disabled veterans of the late war, falling, from lisea?e or old age, into decrepltule and incapacitated for self-sup-Iort. were entitled to have the kindly helping hand cf the government reached out to them. So. in considering the question of the u3 of surplus by Secretaries Windom and Foter, you . mut take this into account. In the years beginning June 30, l&v.. and ending June 2 lv. there was paid out for. pensions $,347,001. In the four years beginning June &). 1&X3, and ending June 10. mi. there was paid out 3-2".293.0Cv for pensions, or an excess in those four years of 3219.QCO.COO. "You are also to remember when we come to consider the state of the government's "finances that, under the McKinley bill, the duty had been taken off of sugar, and in that item alone there was an enormous reduction of the expenses of the government perhaps upon that Item fifty or sixty million dollars annually. There was thl3 pension Increase: there was this revenue reduction; I have no apologies to make for-them. I believe that, the policy of setting free from tariff taxation that prime necessity of every household, and thus diminishing the annual family expenses, was well worth while to make. Tnere h a fact here that I think is too often overlooked. The McKinley bill, which has been so much talked of as a bill increasing duties, put upon the free list over K per cent, of the annual importations into this country, a larger per cent, of free Importations than under any other tariff bill. THB OUTFLOW OF GOLD. '"Vou recollect alo that about that time there was an enormous and threatening outflow of gold from this country to Europe. It was extraordinary In view of tho fact that the balance of merchandise tr.ide was in our favor over $202,000,000 in Yet gold was going abroad. Naturally we would have supposed this large merchandise balance in our favor would have brought gold this way, and It would have done so but for the phenomenal financial conditions in Europe. You recall the failure of the Baring brothers that gigantic concern that stretched out its oivuitions and Its agencies throughout t.ie whole world. You recall how the stability of the English financial institutions was threatened; how the Hank of England that great money corporation called about It other great money powers in England to bolster up the Daring brothers, taking their securities in order to avert the general crash that would have come without some such etep. You remember it was a time that England, pinched by this great failure, was liquidating; and in ordar to get money she was sending home !i enormous volume the American securities rhe hekl for sate. This demand upon xm. this return of our securities nviped out our balance of trade and caused the flow of gold to foreign ports. Another influence tending in the same direction was th fact that about that . time Austria was resuming gold payments. She was putting out a gold loan for one hundred millions, gathering it up about the world wherever she could get it. But In spite of p.ll that the gold reserve of one hundred millions had not been touched when Secretary Foster surrendered his portfolio as Secretary of the Treasury. "i-'ome one h?s said that Mr. Windom had to help out his balance by getting Congress to give him the bank reJcmntion fund of $G4.O0O,Otf). That fund was money deposited with the Kovernment by national banks closing up and retiring from business in order to redeem outstanding circulation. It was a trust fund. The government could not use it. except for the specific purpose. It was 1 joked up, except as It m'trht be called out by the presentation of bank notes entitled to redemption from it. Congress passed a law in 1S) turnlnjr this fifty-four millions into the general treasury balance, making it available cash in the treasury. It was not at all because the treasury needed the cash; it was simply that by reason of monetary conditions people were demanding that every dollar In the treasury that could be got into circulation should be put into circulation. The reason of that was that the volume of business that was being done in this country was such that the money was needed in the exchanges of corr. -nrce. "What was done? Did Mr. Windom, when this fifty-four millions was transferred from the trust fund to the general fund of the treasury, keep It there to pay current expenses? Not at all. Did he want it for any such purpose? Not at all. It was not fsr any such purpose that Congress passed the Jaw. I want to call your attention to what Mr. Windom said about it in JSsK) In h's report of that year. He says: 'The surplus revenue was largely Increased last summer by the penJing changes in tariff legislation and the available balance in the treasury was also greatly augmented by the act of July 14. 1S30, which transferred over $"4.0.0,ooo from the bank-note redemption fund to the available cash. This sudden and abnormal Increase was the cause of much concern and some embarrassment to the department. To prevent an undue accumulation of money in the treasury, and consequent commercial stringency, only two methods were open to the Secretary, namely: to deposit the public money in national banks, or to continue the purchase of United States bonds on such terms as they coull be obtained. For reasons heretofore stated the former method was deemed unwise and inexpedient, ahd the policy of bond purchase was continued. This report shows that so far from wanting that money in the current balance of the treasury, the Secretary deemed it an embarrassment: so far from keeping it for current expenses, heat once put it into circulation by buying and retiring government bontls. METHODS OF DEMOCRATS. "I want now to turn for a little while to the consideration of the methods which our Democratic friends have used in dealing with the public business. Their cry was tariff reform, and there were three reasons why they wanted the tariff reformed. One was that there was an excess of revenue, and that it was injurious and unwholesome to have such, a surplus; another was that the tariff was a tax. They told us that the people were oppressed by this taxation. The other was , that the tariff was a fence, hedging us in and preventing us from entering into a successful competition with other nations in the commerce of the world. These were th three reasons our Democratic friends urged for reforming the tariff. I have shown you that protection in thirty years had pushed this country forward at a ratio of increase in wealth and production, and had resulted in a general diffusion of prosperity that set this Nation on a pinnacle that was unapproaehrd by any nation in this world. You all know that the taxation, as they called it. resulting from the tariff, was so 'little felt that the great majority of the people did not know that they were taxed at all. and never would have found It out If some of the Democratic stump-speakers had not explained it to them. "He w did they enter upon the work of tariff reform? Why, mv friend?, in August last, one year .ago. the Democratic Congress was organized. The committee on ways end means was constituted and was set to work to nrrare r. tariff bill which we were given to understand would be promptly presented and would be at once rushed through and become a law. In spite of thct proclamation c. whole year went by from the organization of that committee until any result w?.s reached in the way of tirirf legislation. What course did it tke? The old Democratic doctrine used o U th doctrine I have heard Mr. Hendricks and M-. McDonald and that class of leaders of the Democratic party in ln-rf'an-t talk p.bout-was a tariff that should j wit revenue enough to maintain the kovcrrtner.t ar.i! ay its ordtnarv expenses, r.ru'. that the duties should be to levied as to give incidental protection to our American manufacturers and our American worklngmen. That was the old Democratic doctrine. "What wr.s the result? They passed in the House of Representatives a tariff bill th-.t wou'.d have created a deficiency in the rovernment revenues of seventy-five rn'lMons the first year, and probably parmanently lW.UM.ft) or I'AflO'vxjo a yar. Th put supar tip to No. 18 on the free Pt end then putfin an incom tax. abandoning the idea of giving the workingman and our manufacturer the ns.turul beneI't o' such dutlt-s as wcr? necessary o rat" a revenue. Thv revlwl an old war tax that every Democratic orator iu Indiana, when it was Imposed in

order to help sustain the government in war times, denounced as inquisitorial ant

offensive. Even with the help of that war tax. and with the heln of an increased duty on spirits they still were unwilling to give American industries the benefit of duties that would raise enough revenue to pav the expenses of the Kovernmcnt and left a deficiency of -V),WO,O0u a year. NOT A BUSINESS PROPOSITION. "J want to ask you business men if any board of directors of any financial institution had brought about a result like th3t. whether they would not at the first stockholders', meeting have put them out of office, but that is not all. the Senate itself was about to adopt free suar, which would have brought about the result I have spoken of. and was apparently only saved from it by the appeal by the Secretary of the Treasury, Mr. Carlisle, in a letter read in the Senate by Mr. Harris, in which he warned tnem if they did this an appalling deficiency would result, yet v.e are told that at the next session of Congress this free sugar bill Is to pass. If tnls deficiency is created, how 13 it to be made up? Are we to have the old internal revenue taxes of the war revived in order to gratify these gentlemen, who seem to be bent on destroying American Industries and unwilling to lay upon the foreigner who brings goods Into our markets, such duties as will pay the expenses of our government. "We are told again told by Mr. Clevelandthat a tax on sugar Is a Democratic principle, that it is in fine with Democratic thougnt, because it is a fair subject of revenue taxation. I do not know what the Senate may do about free sugar next winter. I do not know whether they will continue this duty which Mr. Cleveland thinks Is in line of Democratic policy or put sugar on the free list. If it is in the line of the revenue policy which our opponents Intend to put in force to tax sugar, is it not also In line to put a duty on tea and coffee? Will somebody tell me why tea should not be taxed If sugar, why coffee should not be taxed if sugar? If it is a principal of the Democratic party that revenue Fhall be raised from such subjects why shall not these also be added to the taxed sugar which they have given to the people in place of the free susar they enjoyed before? "Again, my friends, the Democratic party owri it to this country to settle the question of the tariff Just as speedily as possible and to settle it upon a basis that that party would accept as a permanent settlement. Every business man who hears me knows that the moit powerful influence in bringing about that state of business stagnation and paralysis which has existed for more than a year was the uncertainty that attended out tariff legislation. Men will not make good3 and put them In a warehouse for sale when they do not know whether an element affecting their salable value In the nature of tariff duties may not be imposed before they are marketed. The Democratic party owed it to the country to agree on some hill that they would accept themselves and to pass it as speedily as they could in order to leueve the people of the depression which always attends uncertainty. WHAT THEY HAVE DONE. "What have they done? They have passed a bill that no Democrat ap'proves. I have heard some Democrat say that it was better tftan something ehe. but I have never heard one say that it was good. Every one its apologists who are now talking to the people, the leaders ' who framed it in the House and Senate are all saying that it needs changing. The House had no sooner by that extraordinary procedure by which they saved the bill from entire defeat In the Senate, taking It in- their custody when It was really in the custody of the Senate and passing it under the stress of a special rule, than they went to work to pass a lot of other bills changing the tariff bill they had Just agreed to little bills in the fact that they dealt with particular subjects, but great bills as they affected the revenues of the country. They said this bill Is not satisfactory; we piss it, but we do not stand by It. Several such bills are pending. "The tariff debate Is not ended, and we have a tariff law that nobody stands spontsor for; that everybody says Is not what it ought to be. Mr. Cleveland has said It is a bill of inconsistencies, a bill that involves party perfidy and dishonor: so bad a bill that he would not attach his name to it. It is, I suppose, the first tariff bill, in the history of this country that ever became a law without the President's signature. This means that the question is still open, that the uncertainty is still upon us. It means that this question is to be revived next winter. You can, never tell when a tariff bill goes from the House to the Senate how it will b? enlarged and What amendments may be put upon It. It may relate to a single subject as passed by the House, and yet be open in the Senate to any amendment whatever. So this whole great suspense which has rested like a pall upon the business interests of the country, which has paralyzed commerce, which has stopped the wheels of factories, which has sent the workman out without labor and wltout bread, which has filled the country with distress that I cannot adequately picture, and has sent many men to self-sought graves in the despair which their business difficulties brought upon them this condition is not to be relieved or ended. "As I said the other day, it would have hail a great effect if our Democratic friends had only told us that this was the bottom of the well. It was dark and dismal, but if we had been assured that there was not other depths yawning for ua below we would have turned our eyes upwards to see if there was not some visible star of hope; we would have anointed our bruises and set about trying to climb out. But we are told that they mean to march on with their victorious cohorts until they have wiped out all the protection idea from our tariff legislation. The bill has no sponsor: its paternity Is denied by every leading Democratic statesman: nobody justifies It; nobody says it Is to abide. WILSON'S LONDON BOAST. "There is one particular which I want to call your attention to. The reciprocity feature of the McKinley bill has been destroyed by the Gorman-Brlce-Wilson . bill. In responding to the courtesies extended to him in London by the London Chamber of Commerce, Mr. Wilson, chairman of the ways and means committee of the House, said that the Democratic party had set about destroying the fences in this country. He told his British brethren that we were not going to be content any longer with the pent up markets we have enjoyed, but were going to enter into competition with England for the markets of the world. He warned his British hearers that they would have a smart competitor when . we entered that field. The report I saw said: At this point, applause and laughter.' Those English gentlemen were not slow In getting the point of a joke. "Vou remember Chauncey Depew tells a story of dining once with a company of English gentlemen and telling one of his amusing stories. There was some laughter, but a rather disappointing amount of it. The next morning one of the gentlemen of the company came Into the room of Mr. Depew at his hotel and said: 'Why. Mr. Depew. that was a splendid story you to'.d las; night. I did not get on to It till I got home. Mr. Depew paid: 'Ah, I see you came In on the freight train.' No, raid he. 'I did not, I came in on the express train this morning.' The next day he called again to say to Mr. Depew that he had seen the point of the joke about the freight train. But our British friends who dined with Mr. Wilson were not so slow; they came in on the express train to his joke. "This thing of breaking down fences is a country figure of speech. Fences are for two uses. One is to keep things out and the other to keep things in. We have fences to keep the cattle out of -our corn fields and fences to keep our own cattle in the pasture. Mr. Wilson's idea Is that our pasture is too narrow and too bare, that we ought to break down this fence and rush out on to the range. There are a great many catt'e on the range now. It Is generally admitted. I think, that our cattle inflde the fence are n better condition than any that are out on the range sleeker and fatter. It may be that he grass is not always knee-high in our fields, but we know that there is often no grass at all on the range. To drop that figure for a moment, we know that our people behind this tariff barrier that he calls a fence have maintained and enjoyed a higher state of living with more comforts in the home, a better chance for the people, more hope In the hearts of the .working man than in any other country in the world. Perhaps in place of tearing the fences down and making our fields common, we had better use a irate or two to get out, and to let in what we want to let in. "This talk about the markets of the world implies that one would think that there is a market in excess of the supply already competing for it. Such is not the car. Giving to Germany, France, England, Italv and the manufacturing nations of the world pll the markets of this slJe of America lhat they have been able to get in the scramble, anil the fact remains that when they are shut out of the American markets, the best n.arkft in the world, fom' of their n.ills are closed or ar? run on part time. Why Is it that we have these bitter complaints from ull the:- competlnr countries agiinst ev.r fnces, as Mr. Wilson calls them. If thev have ample pasturage on the range, if it is better than In our inclosed fields, if there is dani;e- that we may overrun the rane if our fences arc thrown down?

If. as they pretend, these tariff barriers are to the advantage of England. France and Germany, and a disadvantage to us, in the name of common sense, how does it come that these nations r.re not able to bear with more equanimity a policy that injures us and helps them? THE RECIPROCITY TREATIES. "Under the new tariff law all the reciprocity agreements have been stricken down; wiped out; and jet these gentlemen tell us they are seeking the commerce of the world. What is the result? Spain entered into a reciprocity agreement with us for Cuba by which she was to admit American Hour, breadstuffs, provisions, and many articles of manufacture either free of duty or at favored rates In return for the admission of her sugar free of duty. In ibj sixteen years, up to 1831, our annual sales to Cuba averaged $11,793,009. In 1891 they were 512.000,000; in 1832 they were HS.OOO.OOO, and in 1S33 they were $24,000,000. I raw the other day in one of our papers this dispatch from Logansport, dated Oct. 8: " 'The Uhls, of this city, extensive millers, have received notice that 16,000 barrels of flour consigned to Cuba have been refu?ed at New York on account of the abrogation of the reciprocity treaty and the consequent restoration of prohibitive import duties. The members of the firm are all Democrats and the news has somewhat dampered Democratic enthusiasm in this vicinity.' "I read also this dispatch from Minneapolis: " The local flour millers have been notified that the trade in Cuba they have worked up under the reciprocity treaty is probably at an end. Under that treaty the duty on flour was $1 a barrel, but since the passage of the Gorman-Wilson bill the treaty has been ignored. (Not Ignored; we killed It; Spain did not repudiate it; we did.) The duty has been raised to 14.50 a barrel. One local concern has been notified by its Philadelphia agent that a large consignment of flour destined for Cuba must be held because of the changed conditions.' "We had here a good thing and a sure thing; but we have thrown it away to follow the swamp lights of free-trale theorists in the pursuit of their visionary markets of the world. Germany complains because the new bill puts an increased duty on German sugar, by reason of the fact that that government pays nn export duty to encourage the production of beet sugar. She cannot well say to us that our pork is now unsanitary and unwholesome, because we have levied this duty on sugar; that would be nonsequiter; but she is irritated by this summary abrogation of our reciprocity treaty and this special discrimination against her, and I venture the prediction that if we continue this policy Germany will find trichina In American pork within the next six months, and that great market for one of our great products so hardly gained will be lost to us as a result of the chimerical attempt to seize a part in the markets of the world by the surrender of great markets which we had permanently secured for ourselves. "Now, my friends, we have all a stake here, little or large. If It Is small, it is the more important to us, and. we ought. I think, to come to the consideration of these great business questions with calm minds and with hearts set upon one purpose, to do that which will most generally diffuse prosperity and happiness In our country and which will keep poverty and want away from our American homes." There was great applause .as the exPresident concluded. Hon. Hiram Brownlee followed G-neral Harrison and spoke briefly, but very forcibly. ANOTHER TRAIN ROBBKRY.

Thronffh Special ileld Up" in Virginia and the Express Car Dynamited. RICHMOND, Va.. Oct. 12. The northbound passenger train on the Richmond, Fredericksburg Potomac railroad, which left here at 7 o'clock to-night, was held up near Quantlco. The engineer and fireman were forced from their engine and the engine was cut loose and sent ahead. The express car was then entered, the messengers covered with pistols and the safe blown open and robbed. The runaway locomotive was stopped at ' Quantlco by obstructing the track. It is stated here that there was an unusually Jarge amount of "money on the, train, probably 0.o6o'J Tne robbers, seven in' number, were masked. The railroad company has offered $1,000 reward for the arrest of any of the robbers. The express messenger, B. F. Crutchfleld, and his helper, H. Murray, barred the doors of the express car, but these were blown open with dynamite. Several shots were also fired. The train which was held up was the through special from 'Jacksonville for New York. . ',, .. ' TELEGRAPHIC BREVITIES. The Brotherhood of St. Andrew, in session at Washington, selected Louisville as the place for the annual meeting In 1KJ3. Joseph C.

DEMOCRATIC SCHEME ATTEMPT TO MAKE Tit O I" n I.I 2 FOR IIO.V. LEVI P. JIORTOX. He In Charged with Violating the Allen Coutrnct Labor Law-Opposition for Tammany Congressmen. NEW YORK, Oct. 12. Hon. Levi P. Morton, In reply to a story published today that he had violated the contract labor law by bringing here from England under contract to act as his assistant coachman John James Howard, has given out the following statement: "It Is true that John Howard has been constantly in my service since May, 1894, I having employed him as coachman in London. When I left London for the continent, having no further use for his services there, he came to my home here, and ha9 since been in my employ at Rhinecliff. His duties are entirely confined to services rendered to my fajnlly. I regarded him as a household servant, and as one falling: wdthin the exception of the law. I considered my action as strictly w ithln the statute, and believed then, as I do now, that he Is to be regarded aa a family servant. If Howard has made any statements, which I doubt, to the effect that I suggested he should assume to have been in my service twelve months, he Is mistaken, no word having passed between him and me on that subject. This publication conveys the first Intimation I have ever had that any such exception as is claimed is contained in the statute." The World (Dem.) this morning said: John James Howard, who claims t(iat Levi P. Morton hired him In England to act as under coachman, will be sent back to his own country by the treasury oificials. He was arrested for violating the alien contract labor law. Howard was formerly employed by Lord Gerard, of Eastville Park, and Sir Robert Altieck, of Iondon. A dispatch fr6m Washington says: When Inspector Dodge left here a few days ago he had in his possession a warrant for Howard's arrest signed by Secretary Carlisle. Whether Mr. Morton will also be proceeded against for violation of the alien contract labor law treasury oflicials cannot yet say. Section 6 of the act of March 3, 1891, Axes the penalty at a fine ifHt exceeding $1,000 or by imprisonment for a term not' exceeding one year, or both. Taken to Ellin Inland. NEW YORK, Oct. 12.-John James Howard, who. It Is claimed, came to this country as a contract laborer, having been engaged In England by Hon. Levi P. Morton to enter his employ as a coachman, was taken to Ellis Island this afternoon. He was In charge of Prentiss C. Dodge, the immigration inspector of the District of Vermont, who made the arrest. This was the first official knowledge Dr. Senner. the commissioner of immigration, had of the arrest of the Englishman. Ashley Cole, Mr. MVrton's private secretary, and Frank Piatt, of the firm of Tracy, Roardman & Piatt, asked permission of Commissioner Senner to see Howard. Dr. Senner said he had no power to give such permission in the absence of instructions from the treasury. Howard is a prisoner, and though not confined In the immigration pen, is under clo?e surveillance. It is expected that an effort will be made to-morrow to have Howard's case brought Into court. Otherwise he will be sent back to Knglard on the steamer Paris next Wednesday. "WILL OPPOSC TAMMAXY. Concrrennmen to lie Xointnnted hy the Xmt York State Democracy. NEW YORK. Oct. 12.-The .

They seem to realize more keenly than do some of our party friends in New York and Brooklyn the absolute necessity of party unity in the present emergency. Involving, as it does, the very existence of the Democratic party itself. They are Democrats as well as reformers and believe In reformation with party lines. They realize that a Republican victory in New York will strengthen the forces of protection everywhere and greatly imperil all that has been gained and accomplished during the past two years for the cause of tariff reform. They are practical men who are wHling to sink preconceived prejudices and personal preferences as to men In the struggle to secure substantial advantages for the principles of the cause they advocate and they know that principles cannot triumph except through the election of party candidates. They appreciate the fact that a political party cannot be built) up in a day and that It Is far easier to tear down and destroy than It Js to strengthen and construct, and that It is an absolute necessity for a political party to win victories In order to carry out its remedial measures, unless it proposes to deteriorate into a mere opposition party, expecting no success and content to only criticise and find fault with Its adversaries. The Democrats of the rural districts were never more united and earnest than they are at this hour and afford an example which might well be followed by our party friends in the great metropolis and its sister city."

L KANSAS CITY, Mo., Oct. 12.-Never be fore In the history of pigeon shooting have the lovers of the sport been treated to as I wonderful a contest as was given by J. A. R. Elliott and Dr. W. K.

Dr. Carver got DD Mr. Elliott has probably established a record with fiftyyard boundaries that will never be equaled. To make Mr. Elliott's feat all the more wonderful the birds were by all odds the swiftest flyers seen In any of the matches. Besides this, a strong wind blew directly across the field from the west. This occasioned a large number of extremely swift right quarters. Taking Into consideration the lively birds and strong wind, many of the shots were most brilliant and called forth thunders of applaure. The only bird lost out of the two hundred was Dr. Carver's fourth, a' black siralghtaway driver. Even this "one, which 'decided the match, fell dead Just as It reached the fence and every bird that was freed found the grass. When Elliott had killed his one hundredth bird, thereby establishing a perfect world's record, they placed him In a chair, nailed it to a long board and bore him in triumph from the field. The crowd in the grand stand cheered vigorously. . J. IV. Seeord Missing. The employes of J. W. Secord are comTnentlng 'on the unexplained absence of their employer.
