circumstances, he continued. It was unnecessary to inform the Democrats of Kings county of the importance of this election. Turning to national questions, he called attention to the fact that through the efforts of the Democrats voters could go to the polls at this election with no marshal to protect them. He referred to the repeal of the McKinley law, ana the substitution of another measure, which, although it may not just please the people, was yet a measure within the scope of reason and possibilities. The Wilson bill, he said, did not reach as far as the speaker would have liked on free materials, and while the duty was not taken off coal and iron it was materially reduced. He had yet to hear that any Republican manufacturer had made objections because of the decrease in the duty of coal. He was yet to hear the manufacturer seeking to reduce the wages of his workmen because the bill was to blame for it. The McKinley bill gave us free sugar with a string to it. The new bill is, in the main, for the consumers of the land. If not all that might be expected, it was a long step toward the right one. Senator Hill disclaimed for the Democratic party responsibility for the panic and the hard times. The hard times could be traced to two sources-- the Sherman silver bill, which the Democrats repealed, and the McKinley bill. 'They say that wrecked the ship," he said. "No; the Republicans scuttled It. They bored holes in the treasury, and left the ship empty and depleted, and then said, look what the Democrats are doing. But now things are brightening up; money is easy, and in a short time the good old Democratic times will be back, again. Keep the Democratic party in power, give us a Democratic Congress and Senate, and at the end of a year, if the country does not see better homes, I will be willing to join in turning out the Democrats." TALK WITH WHITNEY.

Ula Vlewa on the Cnmpalsm In the Empire State. CLEVELAND, Oct. 23. Ex-Secretary of the Navy Whitney was in the city to-day. In an interview regarding the political situation In New Yoric, he said: "I have rot, as you know, taken any active part in politics for the last two years. As to the condition of political affairs In New York, I have been absent from the State for two weeks and am probably not well Informed with the latest developments there. So far as Senator Hill's campaign for the governorship la concerned, there can be no doubt that he will make a most brilliant and energetic contest. He was nominated at the Saratoga convention through no action of his own, as I have every reason to know, and. In fact, waa nominated in spite of it. He is. however, a masmlilcent leader nnd will make the campaign one of the most notable of the many campaigns he has conducted for the Democratic party in New York. This Is, of course, an off year for the Democratic i-arty. It Is so with every party In power. The second year of every administration Is always a dangerous one to the administration. In spite of this, however. Senator Hill will brinjr to bear all the enthusiasm and all the wonderful powers of organization of which he is so well capable. He Is, too. uniting under his standard all the factional elements of the farty In New York city, who, in spite of ocal differences there, have but one standard for the governorship." Will the Cleveland administration Indorse Senator llilir "As to what the President or the members of his official family iaay do I have no means of knowing. Secretary Carlisle is, I understand, to speak in the campaign." "What Is your opinion as to the proposition the Republicans are making in this campaign that the causes of the recent financial disturbances were due to the accession of the Democratic party in power?" "It would seem to any cne who has had an opportunity to study and observe the widespread business contraction not only throughout the United States, but almost every country of Europe, that some more general cause than the tariff must be sought ior so general a result. This contraction of business was manifest long before either Mr. Cleveland or . President Harrison were nominated In 1S32. It began, in fact, with the Baring failure in London and was manifest abroad long before it reached America," "What do you think of the prospects for the future of business?" "Business is certainly Improving and has been for some time past. What Is of greater Importance, however. Is ,the fact that the business of the future is destined to be founded on a much surer basis than ever before." BAYARD UNLOADS. A Carso of Denunciation Damped on the Ilenda of Republican. DOVER, Del., Oct. 23. The Dover opera house wa3 crowded to-night with enthusiastic Democrats, who gathered to greet Hon. Thomas F. Bayard, United States embassador to Great Britain. Mr. Bayard was greeted with tumultuous applause. He made a lengthy speech, in which he scored the Republicans and their policies. Speaking of the much-talked-about surplus and the coming into power of the Republicans In 1ES0. he said: "Instantly there was enacted, upon the demands of the influences that controlled their party, that control their party to-day, that are now seeking to govern this country precisely by the same method3 by whlcn they sought to govern n then Instantly the demand came that they should hand over to the men who led the Republican party those powers of the government that are essential to its existence; they demanded that those sovereign powers should be handed over for private use, for private profit, to be divided and parcelled up, as though it were the plunder, the spoil of a captured city or a province. Into their hands 'he longest and greediest fingers clutcl5 the largest share they passed the ' taxing power over this Nation. Every man who had a loud cry, every man with an unscrupulous grasp, every man who was promised as a reward for the money he had furnished to corrupt the votes of poor men to each of these was handed his share of the plunder. And what was the outcome? Let U3 describe it In one word profligate expenditure had changed the surplus into a deficit that emptied the treasury and put us in debt and then a bill of enormous tax ation, laid in the name of protection to American Industries the McKinley tariff bill; and then a bill urged on by the same principles by those who owned the mines of silver and were interested in their developmentthe bill which bears the name of Mr. Sherman the Sherman silver-purchase bill. "iiy friends,- those measures had been passed before the election of 1S92. Public policies do not always declare their results ouickly. It Is like4 the habits of a man. liealth has no symptoms. You merely sea that the man's step is light, that his eye Is clear, that his color is fresh, and you say that the man has health. On the other hand, If the habit is one fatal to health you do not perceive it at once, but gradually and gradually the evil habit proclaims itself. It tells upon him. but not until his constitution may be undermined do you perceive the haggard face, the feeble step, the glassy eye and all the symptoms of ill health upon that man. They do not declare themselves in a day, but declare themselves they will. And so of a people; so of all those policies of trade or currency; they cannot speak simultaneously, but, my friends, they will speak In time. "The attitude of President HarrUon and of the men whom he had In his Cabinet, especially Secretary of the Treasury Foster, as be sat there smirking and rubbing his, hands and smiling they all said: This will outlast this administration, and the Democrats shall shoulder the ruin that our incompetency and corruption have wrought.' This is the truth; this Is the truth. It stands written on the sky; it stands written forever In history." Adlnl'it Svtins? Around Missouri. ST. LOUIS. Oct. 23. Vice President Stevenson ypent another day In Missouri "swinging around" the State. His first speech was at Joplln.

Thus the progress of the disease will ebb and flow until the patient succumbs. How a Humor Started. LONDON, Oct. 2L A dispatch to the Daily News from St. Petersburg says the rumors that the Czarewitch proposed to renounce the throne were based upon a misconception of the Czar's order that Grand Duke George, his Majesty's second son, who is seriously ill with consumption, renv ance his rights of succession to his younger brother. Grand Duke Michael. The Issuing of this order was a mere formality, as Grand Duke George's condition is almost as desperate as that of his father. The Czar's somnolence, which abated for two days, reappeared to-daj-, with slight spasmodic fits, indicating uraemia. The Odessa correspondent of the Dally News says that the censor stops all telegrams relative to the Czar, except official reports. Should any message so stopped get abroad through other channels and be printed the correspondent sending the message will be expelled from the country.

A delayed dispatch from Livadla says: Princess Allx, the bethrothed wife of the Czarewitch, arrived here at 5:30 yesterday afternoon, accompanied by the Grand Duchess Elizabeth, her sister, wife of the Orand Duke Sergius, of Russia. The Journey of Princess Allx through the Crimea was In the nature of a. state progress. The Princess was met at the Russian frontier by the Grand Duchess Serglus, and from that point on "they traveled together to Sinferopol, where the Princess and the Grand Duchess left the train and drove, in brilliant weather, across the country in an open carriage to the Yaltha road, the route being decorated at Intervals with . triumphal arches. At Alurtha, which is situated on the coast road leading from the ncrth cf Yaltha, the brideelect was welcomed by the Czarewitch and by his uncle.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 23. Prince Cantacuze, the Russian minister, authorizes the AssociateJ Press to deny as a canard a sensational publication in a Washington morning paper to-day to the effect that the Russian Council of State has been convened for the first time since the assassination of Alexander II In 1SS1. "The report should be flatly denied." said the Minister, who regrets that the critical Illness of the Russian Emperor should be used for the invention of such Imaginative fictions. Prince Cantacuze pointed out that the report Is manifestly untrue in the statement that an embassy at Washington has received such information, and absurd in the details which are to follow the assembly of a congress of state. The Minister Is in close communication with the embassadors here, only two of whom are now in the city, and he Is satisfied the report did not come from them, as they would not make such statements, much less commit the error.s of fact as to the Council of State. "Instead of this Council of State being an 'extraordinary meeting for the first time in years," said the Minister, "it has been In continuous session for years, and its meetings are dally, oxept during tha usual summer vacation. It i.i a general Cabinet. made up or tne leaJing men of the empire. It exists now, oxcept as the members may have separated for their summer vacation, and they will come together acaln naturally and necessarily the latter part of this month or the early part of November, and in any event this Council of State has no jurisdiction over the question of succession to the throne." The Minister receives cables daily, but he says tl ey have nst and will not refer to ti e arrival of Princess AI!x at Livadla or to the prospective marriage with the Czarewitch until after It is consummated. The Minister was asked as to the statement that the rnnrriage was a necessity, owin? to a rule cf the Romancff family that the Kmporor should be mnrrie l and have an heir, and ths.L if the Czarewitch remained unmarried he would nfccssariiy have to rebounce the throne. "Th?re is no such rule." the Minister said. "On the contrary. Alexander I wa3 childless. There ha3 never been a case where the heir renounced the succession. Constantin. who succeeded Alexander because the latter whs childless. renounced the throne, but Constantin waa not a son and heir."

People In brick houses swarmed Into the streets, hearing the startling grinding of bricks and mortar and seeing in some cases the walls crack. A heavy sound was heard In all parts of the city immediately preceding the "quake." Considerable consternation was caused In the public schools, the children In some of the rooms being hastily dismissed. Clocks were stopped, windows and doors were shaken sensibly. The second shock was observed by few people, being very light and coming when all wtre talking of the first, but the third was so pronounced as to bring the people into the streets. Telephone messages from Coroanada, Upper Otaydam, Carapo, National City and other places showed that the quake was felt about equally at all surrounding places. Ijoose rocks were shaken from the hillsides and rattled down the canyons, and a heavy groan and booming noise accompanied the tremors. The weather observer reported another slight shock at 4:23 o'clock, not so strong as the first ones, but quite perceptible. It was not felt on the ground. The waves came east to west in all Instances. io far as known no damage was done. Dlnnstrous Enrthqnnlce In Japan. LONDON, Oct. 23.

The exact facts have not hitherto been published, even In the beautiful "L,Ifo of Prescott," by Mr. Ticknor. Dr. George E. Ellis, of this city, has In hl3 possession a letter from hij friend Prescott to him. In which the historian states the unlucky Incident in deta:L Young Prescott waJ sitting at a table in one of the four rooms which formed the college commons, in the basement of University Hall, Cambridge, when a fellowstudent snapped with thumb and finger a hard fragment of bread at him from the surface of another table on the other side of the room.

On the march and In the camp Sherman's life was simplicity Itself. He had few brilliantly uniformed and useless aids about him. The s:mple tent "fly' was his usual headquarters, and under It all his military family ate together. His dispatches were wrote mostly with his own hand. He had little use for clerks. Rut Dayton, his adjutant-freneral, was better than a regiment of clerks. When we halted somewhere in the woods for the night the General was the busiest man in the army. While others slept his little camnflrc was burning, and often In the long vigils of tha nlpht I have seen a tall form walking up and down by that fire. Sherman himself slept but little. He did not seem to need sleep, and I have known him to stay but two hours in bed many a nljcht. In later years a sllgnt asthma made much sleep Impossible for him. After the war. when I was at his home in St. Louis, he seldom retired until 12 or 1 o'clock. It waa often as late, too, on this march. It was a singularly Impressive sight to see this solitary llgure waJkinjr there by tha flickering campfire while the army slept. If a gun went off somewhere in the distance, or if an unusual noise were heard, he would Instantly call one of us to and find out what It meant. He paid small attention to appearances; to dress almost none. 'There Is going to be a battle to-day, sure," said Colonel Audenroid, of the staff, one morning before daylight. . "How do you know?" asked a comrade. "Why. don't you see? The General's up there by the fire putting on a clean collar. The sign's dead sure." A battle did take place that day, and Cheraw, with forty cannon, fell Into our hands. It was more, a run than a battle. Salt Acralnat Sasre nnd Gould. NEW YORK. Oct. 23.

The plaintiffs, the Soldiers Orphans Home, Is Interested only to the amount of $10,000, but It is asserted that ISO other claimants are Interested In the ultimata outcome of the suit. Silly I!usilnes. Philadelphia Times (Dem.) While we are thus straining at the gnat of deporting a coachman who comes as a servant employed in a family when abroad, we have been permitting thousands of pauper and criminal immigrants to land upon our shores and as yet without deportlnff any of them. If Mr. Morton were not a candidate for Governor In his State thla ellly issue would not have been raised, end Secretary Carlisle should be manly enouga to dismiss the case before the election. The Falcon Probably Loat. ST. JOHNS, N. P., Oct. 23.-Xothing haj been heard from the steamer Falcon since the last report. The newspapers have canvassed the leading ship owners and captains, and nearly all of them consider that every chance is against the safety of tha vessel. It is generally believed that she foundered In ?ome gale after her cargo of coal had shifted. It It thought that possibly her crew may have escaped. All Incoming vessels report they have seen nothing of the vessel. Impracticable Car Work Scheme. HIAWATHA, Kan.. Oct. 23. George IL Adams and Samuel Ulerer, who visited Pullman by direction of the citizens to investigate the Pullman Club, reported at a meeting of stockholders last night that the scheme of operating a co-operative manufactory In Hiawatha was Impracticable. Tha stockholders voted to reject the committee report, but the division In sentiment has caused tome of the stockholders to glva notice that they will not pay stock assessments. Carllnle nnd Morton'a Coachman. New York World (Dem.) The people love Justice and hate humbug. They, therefore,' demand that this farce be ended, and that this poor devil, the victim of his own friendlessnesd and of a puerile partisan exigency, be discharged from custody, wiih an apology from the Secretary of the Treasury for the rank Injustice that has been done to him. Pallmnn Haa Restrained lltmaelf. Chicago Tribune. There Is no sort of doubt that Mr. Pullman could make a very handsome contribution to any campaign fund If he chose to do so, but there is no sort of doubt that he has successfully restrained himself as yet from plunging headlong into any dissipation of this kind.
