* 1 m about a "wide open” cltj’, which, the Tammany leader says, does not exist. “I believe,” said Mr. Croker, "that Frank Moss succeeded Theodore Roosevelt as president of tne Police Board. He. therefore, should be familiar with the legacy of unpunished crimes that was bequeathed him. He talks of wide open' New York. I would like to direct his attention to the New York of Roosevelt’s day and his own, with which he seems to be unfamiliar. He seems to have forgotten that when the Roosevelt ro-liv-e Board was hunting women with the aid of policemen in hired dress suits; w hen children of tender age were being employed to induce saloon keepers to violate the law. murder after murder was committed and in the hurly-burly of Roosevelt’s fanatical policy nearly every murderer escaped.” The largest political gathering that ever took place in Queensborough was the Democratic meeting in the Puritan Athletic Club building, at I>ong Island City, to-night.

JEFFERSONVILLE, Ind., Nov. I.—A remarkable condition of affairs has been made public through the report of Rev. Buford Tyler, of Charlestown, administrator of the estate of his father, Moses Tyler, who died suddenly two years ago. The deceased was for twenty years superintendent of the cement mills of J. B. Speed & Cos., of Ixmisville, and located at Utica, six miles north of here. As guardian of his son, Rev. Tyler, Moses Tyler had control of SIO,OOO in bonds belonging to his son, which money was left by his mother. In addition Moses Tyler had from $15,000 to $20,000 of his own money. He at one time expressed himself as being w'orried over the actions of an agent whose identity he did not disclose. When Rev. Tyler qualified as administrator, ho was unable to find a will or any trace of the money belonging to himself or father. A thorough search was made in every piace where a will could possibly have been secreted, but without result. Safety vaults, banks, attorneys with whom the deceased was known to have dealings and other places and persons, all were visited, but without any clew to either the money or will. The death of Mr. Tyler came so suddenly that he was unable to make any statement of his business affairs. The unfortunate condition is especially hard on Rev. Tyler, who loses not only Ids own fortune, but also that which he would have inherited from his father. The search will not be given up, but it seems hopeless, as not a stone has been iet't unturned in the efforts to clear up the mystery. Rev. Tyler is pastor of the Presbyterian Cliurcn at Charlestown. ♦ GLASS FACTORIES TO START. Expected to Be Running Thursday In Spite of Mr. liuriiM. PITTSBURG, Nov.

TIRED OF REPUDIATION m • - JUDGE T. J. TERHLNE NOW ON THE STUMP FOR REPUBLICANS. ♦ Beveridge Traps a Wabash Democratic Editor—Griffiths at Shelbyvllle Political News. • —♦- Special to the Indianapolis Journal. NOBLESVILLE, Ind., Nov. I.—One of the best speeches of the campaign was delivered to-night at the courthouse to a large audience by Judge T. J. Terhune, of Lebanon, the sound-ifioney Democrat, who has just announced his conversion to Republican principles. For ten years he has been judge of the Boone Circuit Court, and has been the foremost man in the Democratic party of Boone county. Two years ago he repudiated the Chicago platform and affiliated with the sound-money Democrats. Like Bynum, he believed that the Democratic party would in time tome to its senses, but w'as sadly disappointed this year when the old party again indorsed the Chicago platform and all Its Populistic heresies. He decided that the only wise and sensible thing to do was to unite with a party that supported principles and policies in harmony with his judgment and conscience. So he this year espouses the cause of Republicanism. His speech to-night was heard with groat interest, and made a deep and lasting impression. SPORT FOR BEVERIDGE. Remained Over in Wabash to Nall a Newspaper Lie. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. WABASH, Ind., Nov. I.—Hon. Albert J. Beveridge, who addressed a large political meeting here yesterday afternoon, remained over until this afternoon, meeting many Republicans at the committee headquarters. Already Chairman Plummer is receiving most encouraging reports from Mr. Beveridge’s address, it being known positively that six Democratic voters who fieard him, have altered their intention of supporting Democratic candidates, and will vote the Republican ticket. The speech has infused the entire Republican organization with new enthusiasm and the last week of the campaign will be by far the liveliest. A Democratic newspaper here, the Times, this morning quoted at length from Mr. Beveridge’s speech and made merry with his appeal to voters to stand by me administration. Mr. Beveridge created a great deal of amusement in local political circles by producing a copy of his Tomlinson Hall speech, which Is wholly different from that delivered here, and showing that the Democratic paper had cribbed its report from the Indianapolis address, not a word that it published having been uttered by him here. The local Democracy is making no figjit on national or state issues, but is waging a nasty personal warfare on Republican local candidates. Everything is being traded for Naber, Democratic oondidate for the Legislature, but indications now point to the election of all the Republican county candidates by larger majorities than in 1896. * A REPUBLICAN DRIFT. What Francis T. Roots I,earned During Hln Eastern Trip. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. CONNBRSVILLE, Ind., Nov, I.—The Hon. Francis T. Roots has just returned from an extensive tour of the Eastern ctties, and he has gathered some points on the political situation that will be of Interest to Republicans in Indiana. "In New York city, the stronghold of Tammay and the Mecca of the New York Democracy,” said Mr. Roots to-day, “there seems to be a division even in the Democratic ranks. Both in New York city and over the State there seems to be the wildest enthusiasm for Roosevelt, the prince of the Rough Riders, and all seem to be very proud of his splendid record which he made In Cuba. One very noticeable effect that Roosevelt, Fish and Colonel Astor’s record has made on the public is to break down and obliterate the barrier between the rich and the poor, as far as politics and patriotism is concerned. The fact that these very wealthy men, members of the "■E6, fought and some even ditd in the trenches, shouiaer to shoulder with the humblest soiaier in the land, proves conclusively that love of country is not confined to any class. Roosevelt’s meetings in Buffalo and at Rochester were in the nature of public ovations, irrespective of parties. The weakness of the Democratic campaign in New York this year is the effort to relegate to the rear the national issues which iorce themselves on the people this campaign. Both Senator Hilt and Richard Croker are bending their efforts to confine the campaign to state issues, and to cry “fraud” on account of certain public improvements, which have had the stamp of approval of the state conventions. The people, however take an entirely different view of the matter, claiming that there is a senator to elect from New York, and that it is absolutely necessary to have a Republican Congress, first to uphold the President by securing Republican success at the polls, which wiil be a practical ratification of the war policy, whereas a defeat would encourage Spain to bedevo tliat President McKinley’s course had been condemned. Second, as in 1896 so in IS9B, Eastern Republicans and many sound-money Democrats feel that the credit of this Nation is at stake, and that if we are to have a continuation of prosperity, anil the remarkable confidence which has asserted itself since last election, the cry of 16 to 1 and Lryanism must be ingloriously defeated. It was with a great deal of satisfaction many of them received the news that the gout Democrats of Indiana were opposed to Bryanism as are those of the East, and that the Republicans could depend upon the united support of the sound-money Democrats so long as the Chicago platform be an issue. 1 assured them with great confidence that Indiana would be heard from in 1398 as in 1896, with a majority not less than 17,600.” THE NEW BONDHOLDERS. John L. Griffiths Accept* a Challenge of the Sentinel. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. SHELBYVTLLE, Ind., Nov. I.—The Hon. John L. Griffiths addressed an immense audience here to-night. Campaign after campaign he has responded to the call of the Shelby county Republicans and has always uplifted them by his eloquence. His speech this evening in force of statement, aptness of illustration, general wit and beauty and strength of diction has never been surpassed in Shelbyville. Again and again he had to still the applause by a motion of his hand before he could proceed with his argument. Accepting the challenge of the Indianapolis Sentinel to discuss the recent bond issue he said: “This administration has given anew definition to the word bondholder. He is no ion e r necessarily a money autocrat or a number of trusts and syndicates. He is not even bloated and the word without which no Democratic orator’s vocabulary has been complete in the past, will henceforth have to be discarded. The bondholder created by this administration is ft man of limited means, but of unlimited patriotism. He is perhaps a farmer, who discovered that Mr. Bryan w T as mistaken when he said that wheat and silver went up and down together, and who sold his crop on the very day that a bushel of wheat was w'orth just twice as much as an ounce of silver. Onehalf of the entire issue of bonds went to 23i>.0f0 persons, each of whom subscribed for 3560 rr less; ro nppii at on ter over 5, 00 .\as favorably acted upon, not a single bond went to a syndicate or corporation and the amount asked for was subscribed for seven times over. The victories of Manila and Santiago have not done more to establish our standing among the nations than this wonderful exhibition of our financial solvency and strength. It demonstrates the confidence of the people in the government’s securities, and it is the first time the government has shown its confidence in the people to the extent of b dng willing, to bring its financial operations within the reach of the man who could only invest $26.” Mr. Griffiths’s masterly discussion of our future foreign policy was listened to with profound Interest. It moved on a high plane apd had an elevation and a dignity of purpose that everybody respected. Tlie Rufth-Decntnr Judgeship. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. GREENSBURG, Ind., Nov. I.—Mr. Webb Hansen, of Rushville. was here to-day trying lo adjust the Decatur-Rush judicial muddle. Mr. Cambren, the Rush county candidate, offered, through Mr. Hansen, to resign if Judge Myers, the. Decatur county uiUuii&R6, would also resign and let anew
man favorable to both counties be nominated by the chairmen under the act of 1889. A question was raised whether Cambren. under the act of 1897, could resign, and *t was generally conceded among lawyers that the act of 1897 repealed the act of 1889 and that no candidate could resign after his name was placed on the ticket, the only provision for filling a vacancy being in case of death. It is now claimed that the certificate of nomination withdrawn by Ned Abercrombie was not authorized and the clerk had no right to permit the withdrawal of the certificate after the time for resignations had expired, and that the certificate was a part of the files of the clerk's office. If so, then the commissioners should take cognizance of it. and. if properly certified to, Cambren’s name should go on the ticket. Warm Adherents of Landis. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. JAMESTOWN, Ind., Nov. I.—A fine audience greeted Hon. Charles B. Landis, representative from the Ninth district, last night. Not only was the seating capacity of the large hall taxed, but every inch of standing room was occupied, many Democrats being present.. A pronounced feature of the meeting was the very close attention given Mr. Landis while for two hours lie told, in a plain, businesslike manner, the story of the change from wrecked fortunes and blasted hopes under free-trade Democracy to the prosperity and contentment under Republican protection, honest money and loyalty to American institutions. His tribute to President McKinley’s administration was a gem and the demonstration with which it was greeted proves conclusively that people take little stock in the howl of mismanagement and neglect. So well pleased are Republicans of this vicinity with their representative in Congress that many of them will attend his meeting at Lebanon on Wednesday night. How Wood Hopes to Rent Gillett. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. VALPARAISO, Ind., Nov. 1.-Ex-Con-gressman Thomas J. Wood, of Crown Point, Democratic nominee for judge of the LakePorter Circuit Court against Judge John H. Gillett, of Hammond, has stirred up a hornets’ nest in both parties by carrying his campaign into the church. Mi-. Wood is a Methodist and frequently preaches for them. To-day nearly every member of the Methodist Church in this efty received a card from him asking support at the polls. In 1892 he was elected to Congress on the Democratic ticket in this district and has been favored with other offices by his party. Two years ago he made speeches for McKinley. This year to secure the nomination for judge he flopped back to Democracy and is a rampant free silverite. Many of the loading Democrats in the two counties have bolted his nomination and are openly fighting him. Bets are being offered that Judge Gillett will receive 1,200 majority in this county. Cumback Hum Xu Doubt of It. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. NOBBESVILLE, Ind., Nov. I.—Hon. Will Cumback, who is always a favorite In this county, spoke last night at Carmel and tonight at Cicero. Large and interested audiences greeted him at both places. The Governor arouses his audiences to high patriotism and shows them the necessity of standing by the government when it is dealing with foreign nations. One good point the Governor makes is the changeable and unreliable character of the Democratic party and cites as a case in point the treatment of Grover Gieveland, the only President it has had for forty years, now being spurned and spit upon by the large mass of the present-day Democracy. The Governor takes a hopeful view of the situation and believes the Republicans will carry Indiana by a good majority. Politic* at Terre Ha ate. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. TERRE HAUTE, Ind.. Nov. 1.-Mr. A. M. Higgins and Mr. Nicholas Filbeck were the speakers at a large Republican meeting at West Terre Haute last night. Mr. Higgins spoke of the money question as having been fully understood and passed on by the people in 1896, which statement brought as loud applause as arn-thing said during the evening. Another pfoint which pleased the audience was that we should not hesitate to assume the responsibility of governing territory whose inhabitants may be more or less naked and less civilized than our own people. He referred to the fact that the founders of this country did not hesitate because it was peopled with savages, and that we surely are as capable of developing anew country as were the forefathers. Griffin at Mancie. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. MUNCIE, Ind., Nov. I.—Charles F. Griffin addressed the Republicans in the courthouse last night. Judge Koons introduced the speaker, and his remarks were well received. Mr. Griffin dwelt at length on the issues of the campaign, urging the voters, irrespective of political affiliations, to rally to the support of the present administration. At the close of the speech the assembled voters gave three cheers for the administration, the speaker and the success of the Republican cause. Perry Heath Back In Mancie. Speciai to the Indianapolis Journal. MUNCIE, Ind., Nov. L—Hon. Perry S. Heath, first assistant postmaster general, arrived home last night from Louisville, Ky., where Mrs. Heath is visiting her parents.

Cromer, of this city, who is the Republican candidate for Congress in this (the Eighth) district. Nioholaon a.t Dnlton. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. DALTON, Ind., Nov. I.—The Hon. S. E. Nicholson, of Kokomo, addressed a fairsized audience last night in Grange hall. The address was mainly on the good effects of the Dingly tariff law and the destructive effects of the Wilson bill. He also explicitly explained the 16-to-d fallacy. His remarks on the Spanish-American war, as managed by the magnificent American administration, received great applause. O. H. Montgomery at Madison. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. MADISON, Ind., Nov. I.—Hon. Oscar H. Montgomery, of Seymour, eloquently addressed a large audience at North Madison in bthalf of the Republican ticket to-night. He also made a masterly speech to a large and enthusiastic crowd at Volga last night. BAD YEAR FOR GLOUCESTER. 14 Slilp* and 71S Men Lost, 22 Wives Widowed, 55 Children Orphaned. GLOUCESTER, Mass., Nov. I.—The past season has been very severe on the fishing fleet. The reckoning for the year is fourteen vessels, a total loss, eighty-two men drowned, twenty-three wives widowed and fifty-five children made orphans. The loss will approximate SIOO,OOO. The terrible gales v.hich raged on the banks during October, 1597, are, undoubtedly, responsible for the losses of three vessels and their entire crews, while the series of gales which prevailed during the winter also brought the fate of many a Gloucester fisherman.

Five children survive, the oldest being Samuel Barger, aged eighty-four years. Mrs. Barger was in possession of ail her faculties until her death. Petition for a Receiver. ST. LOUIS, Nov. I.—A petition has been filed with the Circuit Court by John M. Sellers and E. A Noonan for a receiver and accounting of the affairs of t|ie St. Louis Underground Service Company and the Citizens’ Electric Light and Power Company.

NEWARK, 0., Nov. I.—Thomas Randall, a farmer near Ivirkersvlllt, shot into a crowd of village Halloweeners in his cornfield last night and killed Harley Smoke, aged nineteen, son of Jacob Smoke, of Kirkeraville.

THE ASHCROFT TRAIL. Hamlin Garland’s Experience In Wild* of the Far Northwest. Chicago Tribune. Hamlin Garland, poet, novelist, and since Aprn last a Klondike gold hunter, who braved the horrors of both the “back-dcor route” to Alaska and the Chilkoot pass, has reached Chicago and is reaccustoming himself to civilization at his house, 4.4 Elm Btree.t, while he is waiting for news of strikes on his Atlin lake claims and preparing to complete the American novel and the book of verse interrupted by his journey after gold and new literary material. His faithful broncho, that carried his camp outfit through a frightful journey of 1,000 miles, has been brought back to graze in the peaceful meadows at West Salem, Wis., where oats are twenty cents a bushel instead of twenty cents a pound. Mr. Garland reached Chicago three days ago from Seattle, but few of his friends know of his arrival. Last night he vividly described his experiences, which he means to turn into sketches and stories. ”1 took the trip as a vacation. I wanted to see the wildest part of North America, and I found it. It was fully up to my expectations,” Mr. Garland said. I left West Salem. wheTe my parents live, early last April with a college chum. Burton Babcock. Both of us had ‘roughed it’ in the Rockies every summer and we thought we knew w’hat there was of bad country. We went from West Salem to Ashcroft, B. C., where we outfitted and prepared to start overland 1.000 miles to the Stikine river, intending to go to Lake Teslin. We took five horses and all the outfit that our experience in the mountains had taught us was necessary. We calculated on finding an arid country, but instead we traveled through a flood. “It didn’t rain for the first few days of the 1,000 miles, but when it began to come down it poured steadily. There was no bottom to the trail. There were streams where the maps said there were none and no streams where ther~ should have been. The country has never been surveyed except by guess. The rivers were swollen, and it was a constant risk of our lives to cross most of them. All along those 1,000 miles were men bound, like us, for Lake Teslin. Some were without provisions. One of our five bronchos died from eating poisonous grass. The others were sick. We learned of one man who started out with twenty-five horses and lost them all. "Nobody knew where we were. It waa Impossible to tell from the maps. It waa comparatively easy for an experienced miner to keep the trail, but there were scores of men who lost it. The trail wasn’t even blazed. The man who was sent out to survey it got lost. We were on short rations for about six days before we reached Fort Wrangel. We fed some of the poor fellows along the trail, but one had to look out for himself, too, in that country. We were seventy-nine days on the trail, which we had expected to cover in fifty. Frequently it took a day to cover ten miles. It required from three to five hours to cross the streams. This was where we had expected to find an arid country. We could see w here parties ahead of us had been able to ford the streams, but they were swollen by the time we reached them, and we had to chop down trees and get across in that way. “The Skaguay trail w.as nothing compared with it. The whole Skaguay trail ia an easier task than one day’s tramp through that pouring rain and bottomless mud. If it w r as bad for us, what must it have been for men who knew’ nothing about such life? The flies and other insects made life a torture. We had the best protection obtainable in the way of nets, but there were hundreds of men who were w ithout any protection at all. Those fellow’s had to live on groundhogs and anything they could find. It was horrible. Over our heads were the snow' peaks, and the glaciers all along the trail helped make a torrent of every small stream. It isn’t much wonder that when we reached the Stikine at Telegraph creek we were both about tired out. Babcock left me there. I outfitted him and started him into the. country. Then I proceeded to Fort Wrangel. I was just in time for the news of the Atlin lake excitement and the country was full of miners. I believe that it is a good mining country, but I don’t want anyone to go there on what I say. I secured what I think are a number of good claims, and then started back. “Yes, 1 came over the Chilkoot pass, and in one day. It was one of the worst of the reason. It was like walking on the tops of church steeples. No one could see where he w r as going, the clouds were so thick. We waded through water most of the way, and finally got through alive. But it was frightful.” Mr. Garland has about recovered from the effects of his journey, as he has had three weeks in which to rest since landing at Seattle. But he has had enough of the Klondike for a while. The Bankruptcy Law. Washington Special. The clerk of the Supreme Court is In receipt of a large number of letters from lawyers in all parts of the country inquiring of him when the Supreme Court will issue rules and regulations for the government of courts in the enforcement of the bankruptcy law. Having no definite Informal ion on the subject. Major McKenney is obliged to write noncommittal replies to the effect that the court has not as yet promulgated the rules and regulations. There is nothing to prevent the lower courts from going ahead and giving attention to bankruptcy matters according to their own construction of the law. but a majority of judges are loath to dq any pioneering in this field, preferring to wait for the issuance of a set of rules w'hich they can blindly follow. Some courts have gone so far as to hold that nothing whatever can be Bone formally under the bankruptcy law until the Supreme Court is heard from. This, however, is looked upon by the members of the Supreme Bench as an unwarranted excess of caution. Recognizing the force of the general demand, the Supreme Court is giving this matter its industrious attention and will probably be heard from very soon. Movement* of Steamer*. NEW YORK, Nov.

It is therefore unnecessary for those who have "sure things” in the investment line to hunt up subscribers. The police of New York have just broken up a gang which ha* been operating as bankers and brokers, in handsome offices near Wall street, and which has scattered alluring circulars, throughout t,lie country, explaining how enormous profits could be made in wheat and stocks, because of the firm’s alleged, close connection with Armour, Leiter and other famous operators. A real-estate speculative branch was connected with this stock brokerage firm, and it was doing a swimming business when the police stepped in and arrested the entire outfit. So many warnings have been given In reference to the operations of similar schemes that it would seem as if the intelligent public would be thoroughly informed regarding such matters, but it has been well said that “the crop of fools is eternal.” SPAIN S PLIGHT.

I.—Admiral Dewey has forwarded to the Navy Department a. memorandum on the mineral resources of the Philippines prepared at the admiral’s request by Prof. George F. Becker, of tho United States Geological Survey. Professor Becker made considerable researches and consulted all the available authorities. Only about a score of the several hundred islands, he says, are know’n to contain deposits of valuable minerals. He includes a table showing the mineral bearing islands and their resources, from which the following is taken: Luzon island, coal, gold, copper, lead, iron, sulphur, marble, kaolin; Cataanduanes, Sibuyan, Bohol and Panaoan islands, gold only; Marimduque, lead and silver; Minodo. coal, gold and copper; Carraray, Batan, Rapu Rapu, Semarara. and Negros, coal only; Masbete, coal and copper; Romblon, marble; Samara, coal and gold; Panay, coal, oil, gas, gold, copper, iron and perhaps mercury; Biliram, sulphur only; Leyte, coal, oil and perhaps mercury; Cebu, coal. oil. gas, gold, lead, silver and iron; Mindanao coal, gold, copper and platinum; Sulu archipelago, pearls. Os the coal. Mr. Becker says that it is analogous to the Japanese coal and that of Washington, but not to that of the Welsh or Pennsylvania coals. It might better be characterized as a highly carbonized lignite, likely to contain much sulphur and iron pyrites, rendering them apt to spontaneous combustion and injurious to boiler plates. Nevertheless, he says, when pyritous seams are avoided and the lignite is property handled it forms a valuable fuel, especially for local consumption. Fnnght Thirty-Five Itonnd*. •PITTSBURG, Nov.

Thomas Mullen, twenty-three years old, was arrested yesterday morning by Detectives Asche and Dugan and charged with burglary and grand larceny. The detectives accused him of being a member of the gang that broke into John Finn’s home. 621 Holly avenue, Sunday night and stole $27 from a closet. Mullen said he had divided the money among his companions. Last night the detectives arrested Otto Randall, eighteen years old, living at 195 West Maryland street, and locked him up on the same charge as the one against Mullen. That the burglars were amateurs was shown by the fact that they did their work hastily and passed over a valise containing $46. Mullen said yesterday that he would probably have found the valise if one of the gang had not whistled a warning. which was groundless. This frightened Mullen and he left through a window. After midnight the detectives arrested Arthur Leger and John Sharkey. Leger a home is on South Missouri street and Sharkey's is on South West street. With these two arrests the whole gang was in the police station. All confessed to the robbery and said the plot was formed Saturday night. A part of the money was recovered.
