MEYER & BR0., Agents 15 North Pennsylvania St. DENIED BY CARLISLE. Ll Hung Chang? Did Not Say Clilnu Would Adopt Gold standard. CINCINNATI, Oct. 23. The statement carried from Washington in special dispatches to the effect that L.1 Hung Chang, while there, had told Secretary Carlisle that China was to be placed on a gold basis wis repeated to the Secretary to-day by a reporter, who found him at the home of Mr. Frank P. Helm, in Covington. Mr. Carlisle at once said the statement was wrong. While he could not be exjected to make public the matters confided to him by the Chinese Premier during his visit at Washington, there was no impropriety in saying that Li Hung Chang's conversation about the affairs of China was all based on the assumption that the present financial system should not be changed. Of course, under this state of fact it could not have been possible that Li Hung Chang told the Secretary that he would change the financial system of China from silver to gold. Secretary Carlisle excused himself from further particulars on account of the fact that his interview with the Chinese Premier was for the most part an official one, and he regretted that it was not possible to do more than to say that no intention of a change of financial basis was revealed in their conversation. ARMY OFFICERS GULLED. "Taken In" hy Two Germans Who Pretended to lie llaroim. DENVER, Col., Oct. 23.-Grneral Wheaton and officers of tho United States army in this city have for several weeks been handsomely entertaining" two Germans of distinguished appearance, who gave the names of Karon Von Livelzow and Baron Von Sack-Milzlaff, and said they were officers of the German army. They represented that they were making a tour around the world without money and in the guise of tramps to win a wager. Among the entertainments provided for the strangers was a ball given in their honor at Fort Logan. Suspicion being finally aroused, a telegram was sent to the German embassy at Washington, which was answered, saying that nothing is known there of the two men, who had represented that on their arrival in this country they had presented their credentials to the German embassador. FIGHT WITH THIEVES. Police I-hrhange Shot with Car Burglars and Wound One. CLEVELAND, Oct. 23. A fight took place early this morning between a squad or railroad detectives and freight-car thieves, at Collinwood, a suburb. A fusillade of shots were exchanged and Michael Ryan, one of the thieves, was fatally shot. The officers had watched the gang break open a car and enter. They then surrounded the car and demanded that the men inside surrender. This the roblnrs refused to do and began shooting, which was promptly responded to by a volley from the officers. The robbers, with the exception or Ryan, finally jumped from the car and ran. It is believed several of their number were wounded. Ryan, who was shot through the abdomen, was taken to the general hospital, where it is said he cannot recover. Cooper Breaks Another Iteeord. MEMPHIS.

RAILWAY MEN FROM KANSAS ALSO LISTEN' TO A NOTABLE SPEECH BV MAJOR M'lvINLEY. Brief Add reason to l'enusyl vauiaus and OhloauR on the Financial and Tariff Questions. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. CANTON, O., Oct. 23. Major McKinley lad numerous visitors again to-day. Some were Indianians, others Jr'ei.niylvan.ans and Ohioans. All the delegations were enthusiastic and were not chary in letting the citizens know their feelings. The first delegation to reach the city and the first to greet the Republican nominee came from Indiana towns, Indianapolis, Logansport, New Castle, Richmond, Kokomo, Andersen and Middletown contributing to its strength. W. H. Elliot, of the New Castle Courier, was the spokesman. Kansas also came smilingly several hundred strong. Employes of the Sante Fe Railroad Company and others made one of the most enthusiastic delegations that have yet visited Canton. Some of the party were two days on tho road. They were headed by President H. B. Morris, of the Emporia Railway Men's Sound-money Club. Mr. Morris and Richie M. Baird were the spokesmen. Mr. McKinley's response was one of his best speeches. One of the crowds of the day was a party of poor supervisors of Pennsylvania, who came to Canton from Pittsburg, where they were in convention. Armstrong county, Pennsylvania, was represented by several thousand people. Van Wert ejounty, Ohio, was represented by about three hundred people, mostly farmers. Hon. Frank A. Huffman, of Van wert, introduced the delegation. ' Another delegation came from Armstrong county, Pennsylvania, and was composed largely of glass, tin-plate and iron workers. It was a very enthusiastic party. This delegation presented to Major McKinley a handsome mirror, the product of a glass factory 6f Armstrong county. THE INDIANA DELEGATION'. Editor Elliot' Presentation and Major McKinley' Response. In presenting the Indiana delegation editor Elliot, of New Castle, said in part: "We have traveled from the West to the East in search of that which by your assistance we hope to find. We are looking for a man who will become the executive head of all the people, not of classes, but of the entire Republic of the United States. (Cheers and appiause.) We come from that grand State or Indiana, the home of the illustrious Harrison, and of our immortal war Governor, Oliver P. Morton. (Great cheering.) We come from the State ot such great men bearing our congratulations to you, 'Major McKinley. We also come to assure you that the bonfires of Republicanism are burning brightly in the iioosier State, and that she will roll up a great majority the greatest ever given for the Republican candidates in any year." (Applause.) In response Major McKinley said: "My Fellow-citizens Nothing but a deep concern for the future of the country would have induced tnis body of my countrymen to travel all night that they might bring assurances of support to the great Republican cause this year, because they beiieve that enveloped in that cause are the highest and best interests of our common country. I am glad to welcome you to my home and am giad to have the assurances of your spokesman that the fire of Repub licanism is glowing -so origntly in the State of Harrison, that splendid and patriotic statesman, ' and the home of that other great statesman and war Governor, Oliver t'. Morton. "l-our years ago it was said to the people of this country, who were under prosperous and healthy condition, that they were suffering and that free trade would cure all the supposed ills they had, and it would be a panacea for all their troubles. We did not have many troubles then very much fewer than we have now. But we tried the prescription they offered us and voted for nee trade. You men about me know better the result of that vote by your experiences of thu last three and a half vears than 1 can tell it to you. Free trade did not bring us more trade. It did not bring us more wages. It did not bring us better prices for our farm products, did it? Did it bring anything but injury and distress to the country? "Now they propose, having got us into this condition, to get us out of it by the free coinage of silver, by coining the silver of the world and opening our mints to the silver of the world. And now they say that j2 cents of silver shall be worth $1 to the American people and want you to accept it. And this is the cure they offer for all our present ills. How will free silver increase the demand for labor? How will it increase the demand for wlit-uir Will it increase the wages of labor in this country, open new markets for the American farmer or new avenues of work for the American laboring man? Why, if you started all the mints of this country working to their fullest capacity and extent, you would not increase the demand for labor, corn or any American product, and you would not increase wages. "The cry Is that we have not enough money. Now, everybody knows that is not true. We have never had such prosperous times as in 1S92 and we have just as much money now as we had then.. It is not a latk of money that is at fault: it is the difficulty -of putting men to work and creating markets for our products. You cannot make 52 cents a dollar and make a gold doliar worth 100 cents circulate alongsideof it. The gold dollar will go out and every paper bused on gold will go out-, there will be less circulating medium, and instead of the good money we have now we shall have poor money. "Can you te.l me why the free coinage of silver is going to help business? It will not increase the demand for anything but silver. There will be an increase in the production of silver, but then down goe. the price of stiver, and then you will have to consult you paper every morning to see what silver is worth. (A voice. 'I have ben in Mexico and know that's so:') We do not want such money in the United States We want dollar worth 100 cents. It is the lost job that is troubling us; it is not money, but the lost market, that Is troubling us. Why, we abolished the reciprocity treaties after the election of 1S!2 and the sp endid market opened up by those treaties to the American farmer was cut off, and then we legislated not in the interests of the American shop, but of the foreign shop. What we want to do Is to fctart the idle mills, start the factories and open the markets which have been closed. This we can do by restoring the confidence which has been lost. We do not propose to repudiate a single dollar of this government's a..ht.: we do not propose to debase- our

currency, but we propose to have a stable tariff law and enough money to pay all the obligations of the Nation. This is alt there is to this quetfi.lon, and one week from next Tuesday you will have an opportunity to say what you think of the means we are offering to cure our ills. What will be your verdict?" (Loud cries of 'McKinley!') NOTABLE SPEECH.

McKinley' Talk to Railway Men and Other from Kaniaa. To the delegation from Topeka, Kan., which was Introduced by A. M. Baird, Major McKinley said: "My Fellow-citizens of Kansas This Is indeed a very great pleasure to me. You have journeyed farther than any other delegation of the United States that has honored me with a visit at my home, and I appreciated your call more than I can find words to express. It shows better than any words that could be uttered by any man what Is in your minds and hearts, and what your purposes are touching the election to be held on the third day of November. You are interested In the prosperity of your country. There was a time when some men were in the habit of saying that it did not make any difference to the railroad men of the country whom you represent what kind of financial legislation we had, or what kind of a tariff policy we pursued in the United States. I have heard it said a thousand times from the public rostrum that while the tariff might help the men engaged in the factories. It had no influence upon the wages of the men who were eneraged upon the great transportation lines 6f the country. If any of you believed that statement four years ago you do not believe it now. because you know that upon the general prosperity of the country depends the prosperity of our great railroads and upon their prosperity depends your employment and wages. You will have nothing to do if there is nothing to haul, and the more there is to haul, the more and steadier employment you will have and the better wages you will get for yourselves and families. "In the last three years and a half no character of property has suffered more than the railroads. Many of them have been compelled to go into bankruptcy, into the hands of receivers. Many of them have been unable to pay either their bonds or the interest on them; and that Is only because the change of 12 settled paralysis upon the business of the United States. Now what we want to do is to get back our prosperity. Whatever will do that is what all of us ought to be in favor of. no matter what may be our several occupations and employments.' A number of reasons are offered ft; this congested condition of business; and a number of prescriptions are offered for its cure. The most prominent one is that we will all be made prosperous and happy if we only open up our mints to the coinage of all the silver in the world. Can any workingman or employe of the Santa Fe system tell me how the free coinage of the silver of the world will benefit him? Will It increase your traffic or transportation? Will it increase consumers in the East of the products of the farms of the West? Will it increase the demand for a single day's labor anywhere? Will it increase the wages of any workingmen to have this government declare that the pieces of silver that you can buy anywhere in the world for 52 cents shall be coined as dollars by the government without expense, and we fool ourselves by calling them dollars? Will that help anybody? Will that help any American interest anywhere? All it will do will be to increase the production of the silver of the world, and with the increased productl&n of silver will come its certain depreciation, and with the depreciation of silver will be the still further depreciation of the silver coins of the United States. Surely no man wants that. , "It is not the mints we want to start; It Is the great indusrial enterprises of the United States that must start. You are prosperous when every factory in the country is busy and ev?ry workingman employed, making products in the East that are shipped to the West, and growing products in the West that are shipped to the East. And vvhat we want is, first a market for the products of the great W est. so that you can haul those products from the West to the Eastern shcre and not have products sent th m from the other side of the Atlantic. You want that as interested railroad men, but you do not want a cheap dollar, anvhow. This is not a cheap country (a voice. 'And "Ms is not a cheap crowd!), and, as my "mend says, this is not a cheap crowd. A crowd that will journey more than a thousand miles, give up more than twenty-four hours of time to make th trip. 1s a crowd that is interested in the future prosperity of our common country, which all of us love so well. "I do not know of any patriotic citizen who wants us to adopt the financial system of either Mexico or China. We have to-day the brst money In the world the gold dollar, the sliver dollar, the paper dollar, each worth one hundred cents, because each has the government of the United States behind it. Such money is good enough for us. and we have enough of it. but the trouble is it doesn't circulate. Everybody tha has $100 Is hoarding it. for he doesn't know what the future is going to bring. There is not a man in the audience who has $103 that Is willing to loan It out unless he is certain he will get It back, principal and interest. Is not that so? There is not a railroad emplove cf the United States who has laid aside $100 that will not hold on to it until he knows what the future currency of the United States is to be. "As you feel in regard to your savings, so the men with thousands and millions of dollars under control are unwilling to part with that money so long as th.-re is a great party in this countrry threatening to repudiate not only debts public, but debts private, and. as I have said before, money does not make business: business makes money. Money does not bring work; work brings money. So all the years of my public life I have been advocating an industrial policv that will protect the American producer against the cheaper products of oth-r countries and other lands. I have always advocated a policy that protected and defended the American workshop against the products of the alien or the stranger, who comes from another land and owes no alleflance to the flag of our country and contributes not a do'lar in taxation to the support of this great government of ours. "There is no p'ace my fellow-citizens, like home, and the United States is our home, and it is a blessed home the best beneath the sun. It is our business to make our home an ideal one. and for a third of a century the United States was an ideal home for all our oeop'e. engaged in every occupation. We abandoned the splendid policy three years and a half ago. and when we abandoned it we abandoned our prosperity and good times. What we want to do to-day is to get them back again. How can we get them back? You can get them back by steadily am! firmly setting your faces against the doctrine o'f repudiating the public or private debts of the country and against the debasement of its currency, and by voting for the restoration of the policy that will not only protect every American citizen and investment, but will put enough money into the public treasury every twenty-four hours to my every debt of the government of the United States. "Now. my fellow-citizens, I have talked to you as long as I ought.

GOOD KEXTICKIANS ARE DETER. MINED TO PROTECT CARLISLE. If N'ecesnary to Prevent Further Inaults to the Secretary He AV1H Be Guarded !' Friends. P0P0CRAT CAUSE INJURED BY THE RIOTOUS PROCEEDINGS AT COVINGTON THURSDAY NIGHT. Lending Democrats Indignant and Now Boldly Declaring They Will Vote for McKinley. WORK OF AN ORGANIZED ifrOB WHAT SECRETARY CARLISLE SAYS ABOUT THE DISTURBANCE.1 . Evidence thnt the EK-Throwlnjs nnd Attempt to Brenk Up the MeetjnK Was Premeditated. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. LOUISVILLE, Oct. 23. The attempt to break up John Griffin Carlisle's meeting at Covington last night and the premeditated insult to the Secretary of the Treasury has aroused the most intense indignation in this and other cities of Kentucky. Probably not since war days has politics been so hot as during the present campaign, but no Kentuckian "dreamed that one of the most honored citizens of the State would be "egged" and denied the right of free speech. The Covington Incident shows that the Popocrats are desperate and that they fear Secretary Carlisle's Influence will swing the State, which has been trembling in the balance, against the free-silver cause. If there was cause for fear before the Covington outrage there is far greater cause now, for the action of the mob has cost Popocracy many votes and the influence of some of the most prominent men in the State. This morning when the facts in regard to the outrage became known in this city some of the leading supporters of Bryan and also the sound-money! Democrats bitterly denounced the action of the mob and openly declared their intention of voting for Major McKinley. Col. Henry L. Stone, who has been stumping the State for Bryan, was among the first to repudiate the insult by abandoning his party and declaring for McKinley. Among others who did likewise were John H. Leathers, president of the Louisville Banking Company; Job.. TV Starks, of the big clothing establishment of Crntcher & Starks, and Augerau Gray, cashier of the Louisville Trust Company. Dispatches from other towns in the State also tell of prominent men bolting the Chicago ticket. In fact, the action of tho Covington mob has done more for the sound-money cause than a hundred speeches. Secretary .Carlisle is booked for a speech at Bowling Green to-morrow afternoon, and threats have been freely made by Popocrats that the Secretary will not be permitted to speak. These threats have aroused the sound-money men to action. They say the proverbial chivalry and hospitality of the Bluegrass State Is at stake and they are determined to protect the Secretary at all hazards. They also say that under no circumstances will they permit any Popocrat to Insult the Secretary again. If necessary, a determined body of m"en will escort Mr. Carlisle through the State and guard him against further outrages. He speaks here next Wednesday and this morning tho following telegram was sent him: "Y'ou will have such complete protection against insult and so grand an ovation when you come to Louisville as will forever wipe out the attempt of last night to destroy free speech, dishonor the fair name of Kentucky and to discredit her foremost citizen." The telegram was signed by Chairman Davie and Secretary Carroll, of the gold-standard Democratic State committee, and forty of the city's leading men. In addition Mayor Todd sent a telegram of similar Import. To-morrow afternoon, when Mr. Carlisle speaks at Bowling Green, the Hon. John S. Rhea, silver candidate for Congress, will demand a division of time, which will of course be refused. In this event the silver men propose to hold a meeting at the opera house, where the Secretary speaks. This, it is feared, will cause serious trouble as the gold-standard men are determined the Secretary shall not be Insulted ajrain. In proof of the assertion that the Covington outrage was premeditated and that tne Bryan managers in Kentucky connived at it. the Courier Journal says: Nearly a month ago, when it was announced that (secretary Carlisle was coining to Kentuc-Ky to sixait, tne loaowing, in a letter Horn Covington, was puulisiu-a in the Owensboro iuessciiger, euited oy tne .Kentucky rnemoer ot tne isauonal Oliver Democratic committee: "In conversation with a Democrat to-day your correspondent was told that if Jonn G. Carlisle came to Covington to speak ne would be rotten-egged. " 'Vou needn't look surprised,' said the Democrat, who is one or tne boys wno work in the wards. '1 tell you the arrangements are all maue and tne eggs laid away, as they will grow richer by uelay and will be in good trim for tne purpose they'll be used tor.' "Your correspondent expressed his disbelief in the story, adding that it would be an outrage at once infamous, deserving of the severest punishment, and that if anything of the sort should be attempted here there nouid be trouble on the side of the house where it was least expected. " "Don't care anything about trouble," was the cool answer. 'I'm only telling you the facts, and I know them to be facts, and I know what I am talking about, he persisted. "Why the story was told your correspondent doesn't know, but he knows that no decent citizen of Covington, no matter what his views on the money question may be, would, for one moment, countenance any other than the most respectful treatment of Secretary Carlisle, and the firmest adherents of Bryan and Sewall would be the foremost in securing for him a fair hearing and courteous treatment. The story is going the rounds, however, and it should be stamped out at the start as a slander on the good people of the city." This was published without any editorial dissent or disapproval, but with the statement that the editor of the Messenger the national committeeman knew the name of the man who told the story. AN ORGANIZED AFFAIR. What Secretary Carliale Says About the t'ovlnston Mnb. CINCINNATI, Oct. 23.-Secretary Carlisle found himself the center of widespread attention to-day in consequence of the gross indignity offered him during his snpech on Thursdav nlc-ht in r1rt .1 Hall in Covington. The first indications J came m cans rrom irienas ana neighbors,

anxious to assure him of their detestation of the outrage. Later messages began to arrive showing that similar feeling existed tn other portions of the State. At length Mr. Carlisle was obliged to deny himself to callers to enable him to get the rest he needed and to attend to his correspondence. The feeling in Covington, as well as In Cincinnati, ran high as the matter was discussed. The Cincinnati Chamber of Commerce, regardless of political partisanship, called a special meeting and appointed a committee to give Mr. Carlisle a most urgent invitation to visit the Chamber of Commerce before his return to Washington. The feeling that prompted the meeting wa.s that the members wanted an opportunity to show the Secretary of the Treasury the high regard in which he is held by the Chamber of Commerce. In addition to this a large delegation of gold Democrats from Walnut Hills called to urge the Secretary to give them an address and to allow them to testify their appreciation by giving him a becoming hearing. To all requests, for speeches Mr. Carlisle was obliged to give a refusal, as the five sped he s he had promised in Kentucky fully occupy all the time he can spare from hij public duties. Speaking of last night's outrage the Secretary showed that he regarded it as more than an accidental occurrence. In his opinion it was an organized mob. "I did not know during my speech that any such thing had been done," he said. "Of course, I saw the disorder in the hall. It came from a line of men that had gathered in the rear of tho hall. Tne body of the horse was decent and well behaved. Indeed, many ladies were present. I had heard also the noise on the street, but did not know what it whs. I did not speak to the mob but once. I saw it did no good. 1 was still in igncrar.ee of what was going on outside the hall, though my friends seemed to be advised of it. Thoy kept detaining me in various ways until at last I uked why we did not go. Then they told me that a crowd was gathered outside the hall and they were waittng till it phould disperse. When I heard that. I said 1 was going, and we started. When 1 got to the dcor I saw the crowd there. They had been waiting purposely there all the time. There was a crush, and It was with great difficulty thit we got out of the building and along ihe streets. They followed us until within a square rf Mr. Helm's house, when the police formed a line across the street and stopped further progress. The gathering outside the hall, the following of those two or three hundred men for several squares through the streets was not a mere accident; it was an organized affair." To a wish expressed that better treatment awaited him at the speeches he is yet to make, the Secretary replied: "It makes little difference to me. It Is an illustration of what may bo ex,ated everywhere if the principles of the Chicago platform prevail. Personal Indignity and even personal violence will hurt those who attempt it more than it can harm me." The Secretary left to-night in order to meet his engagement at Bowling Green, Kv.. to-morrow. Before Secretary Carlisle left to-night a delegation of gold Democrats from Newport, Ky., headed by James M. Southgate, called and requested him to speak In Newport and they bore with them the assurances of the authorities that he would be protected and his meeting not disturbed. Secretary Carlisle received dispatches from many places in Kentucky extending similar invitations and giving him similar assurances, but he could not accept any of the invitations, as his time is engaged up to the election.

Tho CouflerJournal's staff correspondent in describing the scenes at Covington last night says that not only was Secretary Carlisle "hissed and called a traitor during his speech, but as he walked to the front of the platform he was met with a volley of rotten eggs and oaths which completely blocked the progress of the programme for fully a minute. The little hall in which he spoke will under no circumstances accommodate more than 800 to 930 people, and was last night crowded to its utmost capacity with apparently respectable people, but there were enough disturbers in the audience to create such---noise and disturbance as to almost break up the meeting and sufficient to forever disgrace the State of Kentucky and the city of Covington. "Kenton county is the birthplace of Mr. Carlisle, and Covington, the principal city and seat of government of the county and the second city in population In the State, is his home, yet there are enough people in that city and there were at the meeting last night persons who so far forgot their own self-respect and the honor of the State and city as to insult the distinguished son, who on invitation had come back to address his home people, and by that act they have disgraced their State and city beyond redemption. "During the first twenty minutes of Mr. Carlisle's talk the interruption was so great that he could hardly be heard by those closest to him on the stage, and those respectable citizens who were unfortunate enough to have taken seats in the rear of the hall were so frightened and excited that they made many futile attempts to leave the hall. As the Secretary began to speak a volley of rotten eggs wero hurled at him: Fortunately there were but two of them which hit the platform, and none of them came closer than within two feet of Mr. Carlisle. The eggs came from all parts of the house, most of them apparently from the center, but the people who saw and knew what had been done and was being done for the disgraceful action was kept up for a full minute were so shocked that they knew not what to do, and not a move was made by any one to stop it. "There were more than half of the people present who did not know what the eggs were until they had been thrown for some time and the word was passed around. The disorder did not stop at this, and as Mr. Carlisle did not allow It to daunt him the crowd became even more hilarious and he had to stop entirely. The Secretary looked blankly at Mr. Maekoy, who was the president of the rneetlrg, who in turn stared In blank amazement apparently so dumfounded that he knew not what to do. Nor did he or any one else know what to do: indeed, there appeared to be but little that could be done, if anything, which would quiet the mob and allow the meeting to go on. "The disturbers quieted down for a moment and thi Secretary was allowed to go on for a few sentences. He had said: "1 have always been a Demociat.' but he was allowed to go no further. There wero cries of 'No! no! no! Y'ou are a bolter! Traitor? traitor! traitor! Coward! coward! coward' Sit down! sit down!" and hisses followed so fast that riot appeared imminent, and many persons arose excitedly to leave the hall, but the room was so thickly crowded that no one in the front or center could leave the room. "Air. Simrall, of Covington, arose and Wil. "L to the front oT the platform and called for the Mayor to come forward and try to stop the disturbance. Mayor Rhinpek arore hesitatingly and started toward the front, but the appeals from the citizens on the stage for him to go on were so great that he pres-ied forward and walked up the aisle to where the police were vainly trying to preserve order, and, making a short speech, told the mob to keep quiet or leave the room. This had the effect of restoring quiet for a moment, but as the Mayor started to return to his seat In front it broke out anew. He returned and order was again restored, and Mr. Carlisle was allowed to go on for fully five minutes, which was the longest time without Interruption he had spoken during his twenty minutes on the floor. Notwithstanding the interruptions by the mob, his speech was generously applauded by the better citizens. Carlisle's mention of Palmer and Buckner and his assertion that he would vote for them met with hisses almost unprecedented. Cheers for Bryan were almost incessant both Inside and outside the hall. "After the meeting had adjourned and the people who were in the hall to hear Mr. Carlisle had mostly got out the crowd on the outside did not in any wise become quit. It became apparent very soon that the mob was waiting for Mr. Carlisle's appearance on the outside, and those of his friends who had been keeping him in the hall purposely to avoid the mob on the outside were very much afraid for him to venture out for a time, and kept delaying his departure to the Helm residence. Soon he asked why the party did not start for home, and some one "said that they did not think It enfe to start so soon. The Secretary was on his feet at this and bounded for the stairway, exclaiming: "Oh, there is no danger." Some of the party tried to slop him, but he would go. and a squadron of police surrounded him and Chief of Police Pugh gave the marching order. He was then escorted from the hall by the officers. "As the party of officer and the few gentlemen who were with the Secretary (Continued on Second l'ngej

HIS CAREER IN POLITICS MEMORABLE CONTEST WITH MR. MILLS FOR THE SPEAKERSHIP. An Actor in Youth nnd Later u ton federate Soldier Ex-Secretary of Interior Delano Also Deaid. ATLANTA. Ga Oct. 23,-Charles P. Crisp, ex-Speaker of the House of Representatives, died here this afternoon about 2:30 o'clock. Mr. Crisp has been an inmate of the sanatorium of Dr. J. B. S. Holmes in this city for five weeks. The immediate cause of death was heart failure. Mr. Crisp had been in Intense pain all day. Every few minutes he would suffer greatly, but no danger was feared at such an early moment. His wife, together with a sanatorium nurse, Miss Sharp, was watching at his bedside. At about a quarter to 2 o'clock Mr. Crisp was seized with another attack. The watchers saw the end was aproachlng and sent down stairs for Dr. Holmes. Judge Crisp's two daughters, Mrs. Fred Davenport and Miss Bertha Crisp, and his two sons, Mr. Charles F. Crisp, -r and Mr. Fred Crisp, were at the Ballard House on Peachtree street. They were quickly summoned. When they entered the room Judge Crisp was still conscious. He gave them u look of recognition, breathed a few times and died. He could not speak. So quickly had the dread messenger come that the stricken family st6d appalled in the death, chamber. ' Mr. Crisp's death was not wholly unexpected byi the physicians who have' beea watching his health. He had been declining for several years. His last illness, however, was immediately occasioned by an attack of malarial fever which he contracted at his home In Americus a few weeks ago, but which itself yielded to treatment when he came to Atlanta, He was considered convalescent, and only last Sunday fcad ridden out. But when renewed health, seemed within view he was. attacked by congestion of the lungs, which, added to the weakness of the lungs and heart, caused by two previous attacks of pieuro-pneu-monia, resulted In his death. Dr. J. B. S. Holmes, director of tho sanatorium, made the following statement o his illness and the manner of the end: "Judge Crisp had been In ill health for the pat several years. He had been particularly unwell tor the past six or eight montns. He had been suiierlng tor two or three years witn intense pains coming at intervals in the chest. He had two attacks of pneumonia, one about tour years ago and the other about two years ago. un account of id health he had to give up his Joint debates last summer witli the ilon. Hoke Smith. After the speeches in J unt he went to Asheviiie, N. C, and spent noma time there. From there he went to Tata Springs and remained until about the middie ot August, then going to his home iu Americus. There he was taken with malarial fever. He came to Atlanta for treatment on the ltith of September. I examined him carefully and lound evidence of his previous attacks of pleuro-pneumonia. His fever yielded to the treatment, and ten days ago he was considered convalescent. He was out driving several times last week, even as late as last Sunday, and was feeling unusually well on that day. Sunday night he was attacked with congestion of the lung3. He suffered intensely all day. Monday night and Tuewday he was still in pain. He was better Wednesday. Y'esterday he had a favorable day and, was decidedly better than any day since Sunday night. The iung trouble yielded very satisfactorily to treatment. Itst night he wa visited by severe pains in the chest that occurred at very snort intervals. He continued to have these paroxysms until thU afternoon, when he suddenly expired, probably from a rupture of the heart as the result of fatty degeneration." It was decided late this evening that th body of the distinguished Georgian will be removed to-morrow morning from the sanatorium to the State Capitol, where It will lie in state until half past 7 o'clock Sunday morning, at which hour It will bo transferred to a train and borne under appropriate escort to Americus, Mr. Crisp'n home, where the funeral will take place Sunday afternoon at half past 3 o'clock, A. number of telegrams of condolence have already been received, including one from Secretary of War Lamont. Mr. Crisp was the choice of the Democrats of Georgia to succeed Senator John B. Gordon in the United States Senate, and would have been chosen to that position by the Legislature at its approaching session, had he lived. The Legislature is almost unanimously for free silver, and whoever is named will be en advocate of that policy. Governor W. Y. Atkinson, who has Just been re-eleoted chief executive of Georgia for a term of two years, is prominently mentioned as Senator Gordon's successor. Should he enter and bo elected, there would probably be a contest for the governorship between Hon. Robert L. Berner and Hon. A. S. Clay, chairman of the State Democratic executive committee. Goverior Atkinson's choice as Senator would rend:r necessary a special election for Governor. Governor Atkinson heard the news ot Mr. Crisp's deith at the executive office, and immediately ordered the Gorgla flag' over the Capitol lowered to half mut t. ' He said: "Mr. Crisp's death is particularly a calamity just at this time. He had attained a position where he waa not only or e of the most valuable men in our State, but was a national character of which all Georgians were proud. I regarded him as the most conspicuous man la-fore the Nation of all Southern men. His position as Speaker of the Hou had brought him mere prominently before the country than any other Southern itan. and the maguitlcent ability which he displayed m sustaining himself a.s a leader there has made ttt impress upon the whole country to such an extent that he was regarded everywhere as one of the foremost men of America. Personally he was one of tho most lovabla men. and outlde of the less to the public his death will be a personal grief to thousands cf hi fellow-countrymen. On the day of his burl-ti all the ofrkeis in the Cupitol will be clo- i." Ex-Secretary Hoko Smith said: "J wax thrown with Jude Crisp constantly in Washington, and I am deeply distressed at his sudden death. His qulckr.tss, cahiirtesH and sound judgment made him the natural leader of the Democrats in the House of. Representatives. His kind and gentle temperament gave h4ra the love of all who kntw him. Although he had tilled the highest position given to a Georgian in the national councils since the days of Howell Cobb, he edcttlally desired a seat la
