English'*— "Cur men.** The musical public of Indianapolis let a very good thing go by when it failed to turn out en masse at each of the performances of the International Grand Opera Company, whose engagement concluded at English's last night before the largest audience of the series. The night audience was a fair one, but the auditors at the “Romeo and Juliet” matinee hardly balanced the big company on. the stage. “Carmen” is usually a popular opera In an engagement, for the music is more familiar to the public, and the people who go to hear tunes are in a larger part gratified. The feature of the matinee was Mme. De Vere-Sapio's Juliet. The prima donna's rendition of the role was as delicate and beautiful as gossamer. In her balcony scene she hardly seemed a creature of the earth. Her conception of the role hardly follows the dramatic standards, but at the same time her poses and her movements suggested Margaret Mather. The exquisite Guonod music was admirably handled by the company. Mr. George Mitchell was calst as Romeo. Mr. Goff, as Mercutio, made much of the role. Mme. Selma Kronold was heard for the firs.? time In this city last night, when there was really a great production of “Carmen.” Her Idea of Carmen is the Calve idea, and indeed any other Idea of Carmen isn't worth presenting., To say that Mme. Kronold Is an admirable imitator of the great French woman is much of a compliment in itself, for it takes a wide range of art to do this. Mme. Kronold’s voice is a dramatic soprano of fine quality, and she succeeds in letting the voice depict a good share- of the fierce passions which distinguish the cigarette girl of Savilie. Withal her acting was all that could be wished. Stg. Collenz was substituted for Mr. Mitchell as Don Jose. His name was not on the bills and he had not been advertised. Few' in the audience were aware that Collenz had before sung in this city, but in the last act, where the wretched corporal pleads with the fascinating woman and Is spurned, they finally decided he was the remarkable tenor who had thrilled them In “I Uagliacci” last spring in the Begetto Company. The dramatic fire of this slender Italian is remarkable, and while, he shows a tendency to slight his fine tenor voice in these moments of passion, the extent is not sufficient to mar his performance. Mr. H. Winfred Goff made the hit of the evening with the toreador song, which he was forced to repeat several times, the audience being charmed with his magnificent organ of sound. Miss Nedda Morrison also came in for her share of the honors of the evening. She displayed a pure soprano voice whose carrying power at Intervals surprised the audience. She had the role of Michaela. Mr. Earl P. Parks, who, by the way. Is a Martinsville boy. had a more pretentious part than in the other operas given here, and he made the most of it. He has a rich basso, which he uses well. He is a young man of considerable operatic promise. There was one man. not in the cast, whose work has done much to make the International Opera Company a strong organization artistically. That man is Musical Director Saplo. He has his choruses drilled to a nicety and the ensemble singing won several encores yesterday. Park—“ Hogan's Alley.** “Hogan’s Alley.” a clever laugh juggler, filled with specialties good, bad and indifferent. opened at the Park yesterday to the usual crowded bouses. “Hogan’s Alley” has as little plot as possible, but that little is funny. Mrs. Brogan, the wife of Martin Brogan, one of the principal characters, Impersonated by Barney Gilmore,

has a twin sister, Mrs. Casey, who is the sweetheart of Michael Hogan, the other principal, in whom is readily recognized the clever comedian, John P. Leonard. Brogan is of a very jealous disposition, and this fact is taken advantage of by jokers, who tell him that his wife has been seen with Hogan. In fact, he h'mself sees Mrs. Casey and Hogan making ardent love, and mistakes her for his wife. With these two female Dromios as a foundation, many funny complications are developed. The strong feature of the performance is the numerous specialties which are given with a dash and go that is very taking Sherman Wade does some clever dancing with M izie King in the first act. Miss King also appears in the second act in an exhibition of highly skillful toe dancing, ir. which she Introduces some novelties never before seen in Indianapolis. Eddie O’Dell, the "Baldy Sours” of comic supplement notoriety, ts much better than the average in his line. He is a good acrobat and contortionist, and Intersperses his feats with a running fire of jokes of more or less freshness. Master George Mack, who is the Yellow Kid, does some unusually good singing in the second act. He possesses a remarkable voice for a child, and his precocious taient was recognized by three encores. A pretty feature of the third act was the dance to patriotic music, in which six “ladies of liberty” appeared to good advantage. The piece is well staged, the scene in Hogan’s grove and the root garden in Hogan’s alley being very striking. “Hogan’s Aliev” will remain the rest of the week, with usual matinees, and will be followed Monday by James H. Wallick’s “A Guilty Mother,” that was a hit here last season. H. llockwooil-Hewitt Dend. NEW YORK. Nov. 3.—H. Rockwood-Hew-itt, widely known in theatrical circles all over the country as H. Rockwood, Mr. Charles Frohman’s general business manager, died from appendicitis last night at the San Remo. Mr. Rockwood’s start in the theatrical business was made more than twelve years ago as a manager of road companies. He was connected in this capacity with “Esmeralda,” "Young Mrs. Winthrop” and “Held by the Enemy.” When Mr. Frohman established his stock company at what is now Proctor’s Twenty-third-street Theater, he made Mr. Rockwood, his general business manager, a position which he had retained ever since, and which has grown to be one of the greatest responsibility, as Mr. Frohman’s enterprises have increased in number and extent. Notea of the Stance. W. M. Hall, who represents Walker Whiteside’s literary bureau, arrived yesterday to assist Business Manager Phillips in the advance work for Mr. Whiteside's engagement at English’s next week. The Black Crook Company at the Empire winds up one of its “burlesques” with a number of dmerent coon songs, all going on at the same time. With any other style of melody, discord would be the result, but all coon songs sound so much alike that the blend is as smooth as one song done alone. The fourth week of the Grand Stock Company is drawing to a close and the final performances of “Esmeralda” will be given to-night and to-morrow matinee and night. It has been a good drawing card ail week and the closing performances are attracting more attention than any of the others. During the coming week the stock company will be seen in “A Social Highwayman.” It is expected to prove the strongest bill yet offered. Every chorus girl In “The Telephone Girl” Company is said to wear red, white and blue at some time during the performance. As this would not always be suitable with the costumes and in order to permit the girls to show their patriotism, Clara Lipman is said to have purchased silk garters in patriotic colors and made eacn girl a present of one. “The Telephone Girl” chorus nas no men, contraltos being employed to sing the baritone score.

George H. Primrose, of Primrose & Dockstader’s minstrels, which comes to English's to-night, is noted as being the best exponent on the American stage of the imitator of the darky dandy. His grace and agility as a dancer has w r on him fame from ocean to Ocean. None of the minstrel artists can sing a “coon” song with quite as much unction as Primrose and none can play the character better. Dew Doekstader’s specialty sis his comedy concoctions for monologue purposes. This big combination with sixteen vocalists for the first part, all appear in black face this season under the leadership of Professor Dathan, who directs the orchestra. Carleton's Military Band is carried for the big finish, when a spectacular feature is introduced. The vocalists include Manual Romaine, W. H. Thompson, Fred Reynolds, John Davis, Edward Hansen, Harry Ernest, John Perry, B. S. Cohn and Lem Rose, the male Melba. The comedy portion will be looked after by George Primrose, Lew Dockstader, Lew Sully and Jimmy Wail. The olio will include some of the best specialties offered this season, among which are some European novelties. The two people who make the undoubted hit in “Esmeralda” at the Grand this week are Frederick Conger and Lillian Daily, whose clever comedy love scenes in the second, third and fourth acts are warmly appreciated by every audience. The man with a hammer will have to “pass up” Mr. Conger for the time being and "lay” for some other victim. The roles of Estabrook and Nora Desmond, played by the Conger-Daily duo, have been happily treated by the authors. They are fat with bits of business that entertain the women more than they do the men. For three acts Esta brook is in pursuit of Nora Desmond, and for three acts the blonde Nora is Hitting about the fiame like a butterfly about a rose. Interruptions at most interesting moments prevent the important proposal, and it is not until near the finish that the protocol is signed and hostilities suspended. The conversation leading up to the intended proposal is very bright, including an absurd discussion of the panel painted by Nora and the twelve-button glove which she wears. In the last act the proposal is nicely brought about by Estabrook's earnest suggestion that Nora turn over to somebody willing (o assume it the contract for sup plying her frequently with twelve-button gloves, which she had just remarked she could not attord to buy every day. Mr. Conger and Miss Daily do as genuinely clever light comedy work In these two congenial roles as any one can ask, and they deserve a bouquet without a spike in it. Mr. Peirce's Condition. Word received from Cincinnati last night indicated that R. B. F. Peirce is improving, and it is expected he will be well enough by Monday to make the journey home. While the treatment to which he has been subjected was of an enervating character and he was unable to take any but a milk diet, his mind is clear and he talks cheerfully. Dr. Whittaker, an eminent specialist, was in consultation with Dr. Shields at the Cincinnati Hospital yesterday, and they agreed that Mr. Peirce s recovery was assured, and that similar attacks might be avoided with proper precautions. Additional Personal and Society. Miss Ethel Parks, of Martinsville, was'in the city yesterday, the guest of Miss launders. Miss Parks came to attend the entertainment last night given by the International Opera Company, of which her brother is one of the artists. Mrs. Alonzo Boyd, of 1515 North Capitol avenue, gave a 6 o’clock dinner last evening in honor of Miss Alice Stanton, a returned missionary from Kain-Kaing, China, at which place she has been engaged in missionary work with Miss Kate Ogborn for the last eight years. Miss Ogborn is a cousin of Mrs. Boyd. WILLIAMS—GREER. Special to the Indianapolis Journal.

THE INDIANAPOLIS JOURNAL, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 4, 1898.

COMIC OPERA CORONER HAS HELPED CONSUME ABOUT *20,000 IN SHELBY COUNTY FUNDS. 4. Closing: Week of the Campaign Shows Democrats on the Ran In Many Counties. - Occasional Correspondence of the Journal. SHELBYVILLE, Ind., Nov. 3.—The campaign in this county is growing more interesting in tho closing days. In casting up the probable result the Democratic leaders are not sanguine. They feel to-day as if they were standing on drifting sand, that ‘they were being held in a balance by an outraged populace who are demanding explanations for impositions of the past for which no adequate explanation can be made. Ostensibly Thomas Campbell is the chairman of the Democratic county central committee. His law partner is A. F. Wray, who has the circuit judgship buzzing so loud In his bonnet that it can be heard all over the county. Wray is assisting Campbell to conduct the local campaign. Judge Buckingham, who at best is not the shrewdest politician in the State, desires to succeed himself, but realizes that Wray has the inside track as matters now stand. George Ray, who is the editor of the Democrat through the conditions of Scott Ray’s will, and who has no more love for either of these men than he has for some other people, is trying to usurp Chairman Campbell’s powers and to conduct the campaign along lines of his own choosing. This fact has brought the contest to local matters, resulting in an exposure of conditions existing in the county that no taxpayer knew existed. The fact has been brought out that the county is in debt $20,000, a condition that not a single citizen dreamed of. The debt is covered with two loans from a national bank of SIO,OOO each, the warrants drawing 6 per cent, interest. In looking about for a cause for the debt Republicans have learned that a stationery contract that was made for $1,600 has cost the county $2,265.22. One of the county commissioners, Mr. Jesse Shaw, the board being solidly Democratic, has made the declaration that the contract for the county stationery, made last December, was made on the Sunday before the board met in regular session. This statement has been published time and time again without a denial being made. The fact has also come to light that the other two members of the board purchased an iron safe and sent it to the county poor farm, Mr. Shaw knowing nothing of this transaction until the bill was presented and allowed. It has also been learned that the sum of $1,025 has been paid for a little steel shelving and a steel roll-top case that have been placed in the recorder’s office and the office of the auditor, the work being plain, the book rests being tho common kind placed on rollers. Perhaps the greatest imposition of its kind that has been forced on the taxpayers is the numerous inquests held by the county coroner. His bills, as footed up, reach the sum of $1,176.60, hardly one of them having been necessary. There has never been an arrest made or a prosecution instituted on one of the verdicts returned. People who reached the age of eighty-two years and died from natural causes have been made victims of tne coroner s greed. In every instance he lias charged the county $5 for “viewing the remains’ and then worked in all the days possible. One of his cases is attracting a great deal of attention, It being an inquest held on the remains of littie Lavanchi Hinds, daughter of Mr. Melvin Hinds, a well-known and influential farmer of Hanover township. The child was playing in the barnyard when a wagon bed tell on her, killing ner instantly. coroner Booher knew nothing of the accident until the day of the funeral, the exercises being conducted in a neignborhood church. Booher arrived at the church Just as the congregation was passing by the coffin to take a last look at the face of the child. He stepped into the line, walked by the casket and charged the county $5. He followed this act up with an inquest, and, together with the sheriff, filed a bill for 132 miles traveled. He then charged $2 for his wife as clerk, the three witnesses examined being ready to make ailidavit that Mrs. Booher was not in the room when the testimony was given, and the otner wiil make affidavit she was not in the room whiie he was there. The bill made out included fees of $6.20. The bill was allowed and paid, neither of these witnesses claiming any fee, one of them being the father of the child. Booher threatened to exhume the body of the child, but a number of neighbors signified their intention to guard the grave of the child with their shotguns, and it was left undisturbed. This is a sample of the manner in which inquests are, conducted in this rock-ribbed Democratic county, and the taxpayers are growing tired of it.

During the last fiscal year it has cost the taxpayers of the county over $2,000 to send insane people to the asylum. People are taken up, “set on,” fixed out with a lot of clothing at an expense of $49.50 each, are taken away, many of them being returned in a short while as cured. Men have been adjudged insane who were not taken away. The sheriff charges $15.75 for taking a putient to the asylum, when the law allows him only $9.75. Tiff illustrate how the money of the taxpa>CT s is squandered, a gentleman, he being a private citizen, took the requisition for clothing for a male Insane patient to a clothing store and had him fill it same as if the goods were being purchased, the merchant not knowing the difference, he being a Democrat. When the bill was added it footed just $20.40, while the county paid another firm $49.50. The bill for a female patient usually amounts to $49.80. The requisition for a female patient was taken to a dry goods stole, where it was filled for $21.97. The bills paid for by the county always include a hat for $4, a cloak for $8 and stockings at 50 cejits a pair, other articles being charged for in proportion. Cotton underskirts that can be purchased for 25 cents each/ are charged up to the taxpayers of the county at $1.25 each. In one instance after the underwear was selected at fancy prices a whole bolt of muslin w r as added to the Dill. This is the way Shelby county pays for clothing for pauper insane. The kind of clothing the paupers receive is another question. The court bailiff has draw’n pay for 426 days during the year, when court lasts but thirty weeks. The grand jury bailiff was paid for 226 days during the year, when the four grand juries of the year were paid for only fifty days, the bailiff drawing almost as much pay as the twenty-four men who composed the juries he looked after. This manner of conducting affairs is upheld by George Ray, who says there is no law' to prevent such extravagance. The people are looking at the questions differently, and if Shelby county gives a good account of itself next Tuesday the State need not be surprised. IN THE NINTH DISTRICT. Old Soldier* Show They Are for Uharle* 11. Lnndi*. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. LEBANON, Ind., Nov. 3.—Charles B. Landis's reception last night In this city w'as in the nature of an ovation. The people of Lebanon and vicinity turned out In such numbers that Lochinvar Hail, w’here the speaking was held, was filled to overflowing. Every seat in the large hall was occupied and every Inch of standing room was taken. One of the features of the reception was the manner in w'hich the old soldiers turned out to greet Mr. Landis. Two hundred and fifty of them, all over fifty years of age, met on the square and, headed by the drum corps, marched to the hall with colors flying. Some of these veterans had driven a distance of twelve miles to attend the meeting to show that the report that the old soldier element was opposed to Landis was not true. Among those In attendance last night none was more enthusiastic than these old soldiers, who stood shoulder to shoulder two*years ago for the same candidate. Mr. Landis, inspired by the largest crow’d Lebanon has turned out at a political speaking this campaign. made an address which aroused the crowd to a high pitch of enthusiasm. There was no stooping to abuse Democrats, and those present openly acknowledge that It was one of the most effective speeches from a Republican point of view that has been heard in Lebanon this campaign. Following Mr. Landis Judge T J. Terhune spoke for a few minutes. Nearly every sentence was cheered to the echo. The meeting has done an immense amount of good and the Republicans are jubilant. The outlook in this county has improved notice-

ably during the last few days, and each day the confidence of the Republican managers is growing more pronounced. GOOD CHANCE FOR GARDINER. Second District Democrat* May Throw Over Representative Mters. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. SULLIVAN, Ind., Nov. 3.-Judge Gardined. the Republican candidate for Congress in this district, closed his campaign in this city to-night. Mr. Gardiner was greeted by a large and enthusiastic outpouring of Republicans. His address was well received and w'as one of the best made here during the campaign. Mr. Gardiner’s prospects for election are very flattering. He has made an excellent canvass, and has made hosts of friends and will receive many Democratic votes in this county. The friends of Miers are scared, his canvass in this county was a failure, and as the election draws near it grows more apparent that Miers will have no walkover. The Democrats of this district are very much dissatisfied with Miers. He was for the gold standard and changed his position to get into Congress. His schemes in regard to the allowance of pension claims are all well known, which alone will make many votes for Gardiner. There Is a spiit among the Democratic leaders in this county over the nomination of Miers. Charles D. Akin, of this county, was a candidate at the time Miers was nominated in 1896 and he was promised the plum in 1898 if he would give his support to Miers. Since that time there has been a tendency among certain Democratic leaders to turn Akin down and support P. H. Blue, of this city. At the congressional convention held in this city in July a scheme to give Blue the complimentary vote of the Sullivan county delegation was almost matured, but Akin's friends got on to it and put a stop to the procedings. The Akin and Blue factions are bitter against each other, which is making votes for Gardiner. THE “GANG” FOOLED. Taggart and Martin Went to Ander■on to Raise Fund*. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. ANDERSON, Ind., Nov. 3.—Democrats from far and near in. Madion county gathered in Anderson yesterday on invitation to meet Thomas Taggart and Parks Martin, of Indianapolis. Many supposed the money for Madison county sent up by the Stata Democratic committee was to be divided, and others thought that Taggart and Martin would plan the certain defeat of the Republicans. There was no money divided. Instead of money or of a well-formulated plan of victory, Taggart and Martin were here to solicit funds for the state committee. Madison county Democracy stood amazed and the emissaries from Indianapolis encountered a regular Klondike. The candidates refused to be bled, and the moneyed men of the Democracy w'ere equally impervious to all appeals tor help. Republicans learned of the true condition by disgusted Democrats who were at the. ferenee. There are no bets being posted by the Democrats unless great odds are given by Republicans. Predictions are made at Republican headquarters that the enure State and county tickets will be carried by 1,000 majority, while at the betting boards an average of 500 is claimed.

Land!* Ret* Go Begging. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. FRANKFORT, Ind., Nov. 3.—The Republicans of Clinton county closed their campaign here to-night with a mass meeting at the Columbia Theater. The success of the meeting in point of attendance was without precedent in Clinton county politics for a night meeting. Farmers flocked to the city from all points, and there were 1,000 people in the parade preceding the speech by Frank Hanly. The Old Soldiers’ Club and the Clover Leaf Railroad Club led the marchers. Every available space in the theater was packed, even to aisles and stairw’ays, and hundreds were unable to get in. An excursion train on the Clover Leaf brought several hundred from Forest and Mlchigantown. The marchers were supplied with rockets and Roman candles, and the hand played “A Hot Time,” etc. Mr. Hanly’s speech gave excellent satisfaction, and the Republicans all congratulated themselves on the unexpected magnitude of the meeting. At the Coulter House this morning SSOO in SIOO bets were posted on Landis, but as yet there have been ho takers. Colored Men Favor Cromer. To the Colored Voters of the Eighth Congressional District: The undersigned taxpayers and voters of Muncie and Delaware county, the home of G. W. Cromer, the Republican nominee for Congress, invoke your aid and supi>ort of his candidacy. We ask this because of the fact that he has been a true and tried friend of ours during his official career as mayor of our city, and because we are mindful of the fact that a vote for him is a vote in suport of the clean and able policy of the President in the. Cuban war. Small differences, as to the minor affairs of the administration, and smaller differences, the outgrowth of personal disappointments, ought to be expunged from our minds, and we should look to the chief affairs that vitally affect the welfare of all parties concerned. W. H. STOKES. THOMAS K. FASSETT, ASBURY M’WILLIAMS, JERRY POINDEXTER. HARRY L. BURMAN, REV. TUCKER WILSON, Muncie, Ind., Nov. 3. Steele’* Biff Hnntlnffton Meeting. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. HUNTINGTON, Ind., Nov. 3.-A grand. Republican mass meeting was held in this city last night, the best and most enthusiastic meeting of the campaign. It was held under the auspices of the famous Erie McKinley Club of this city, and the opera house w r as filled to its capacity. Speeches were made by Hon. George W. Steele and Mayor J. B. Kenner, and the glee club furnished music. While the meeting was a grand succecss. an excuse was received from many of the railroad employes for involuntary absence on account of being compelled to work fourteen hours a day. The excuse was accepted with the remark that no such excuse had ever been offered in the days when the country was in control of the Democratic party. The Republicans and sound-money Democrats of Huntington county are fully aroused, and it Is confidently predicted that Huntington county will give a decided Republican majority this year. Artman I* Too Good for Politic*. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. LEBANON, Ind., Nov. 3.—The county election board in printing the county tickets found an error In the case of Noah Clodfelter, of Crawfordsville, the Democratic nominee for joint senator. It was discovered that the chairman of the nominating convention had failed to sign the certificate of nomination. The chairman appeared before the board and claimed that he had sent two copies of the certificate to the county chairman, but had failed to sign one of them, the unsigned certificate by mistake having been tiled with the election board. The board concluded that the error w'as sufficient to justify them in leaving his name off the ticket. Mr. S. R. Artman, of this city, who Is Mr. Clodfelter’s opponent, how'ever, went before the board and asked them to waive all irregularities aid place Mr. Clodfelter’s name on the ticket. The board did as Mr. Artman requested and Mr. Clodfelter’s name goes on the ticket. Nicholson at Hl* Old Home. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. AZALIA, Ind., Nov. 3.—S. E. Nicholson, of Kokomo, made a strong Republican speech here last night. This is his old home, and he was greeted with a crowded house. For over an hour and a half he held the audience in close attention while facts and arguments were produced In favor of Republican success. He gave a vivid portrayal of the present conditions of prosperity, in contrast with the panic under Democratic rule, following It up with conclusive arguments against the free-sil-ver craze. His discussion of the new issues growing out of the recent war was greeted with applause. The ground was taken that It was not so much a question whether the United States wanted Hie Philippines as it was a question of our duty to the people from the standpoint of Christianity and civilization. The speech has done good for the Republican cause here, and a full vote in this stronghold is now assured. The View of Popnll*t*. Special to the IndianapolU Journal. TERRE HAUTE. Ind., Nov. 3.—The Populists held a meeting at the courthouse last evening. Morton C. Rankin presided, and speeches were made by F. J. S. Robinson, of Clay City, and J. H. Allen, of this city. The latter, w ho is chairman of the congressional committee of the Fifth district, said this was a time for every one to stand by the administration at Washington. He declared that “the Democratic party is in-

capable of grasping national affairs of Importance. It is the party of trickery ami vacillation and will not settle any great issues.” Iloth speakers denounced the Brazil convention, which nominated Hamill, the Democratic candidate for Congress. FunioniiiU Expert to Win. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. SEYMOUR. Ind., Nov. 3.—A careful poll, Just completed, Indicates that the fusion county ticket will be elected by not less than 1,250 majority.’ The overthrow of the Brown.down courthouse ring will be accomplished by the united efforts of the leading Republicans and Democrats of the county, who have laid aside partisanship on local Issues and have joined hands to accomplish the overthrow of the most corrupt ring that has ever held sway in any county in Indiana. What the people of this county want is to torn the rascals out who have burdened the taxpayers with a debt amounting to over $300,000. This township and those surrounding it pay two-thirds of the taxes of the county, and everything that could be added to the burden of the people has been placed there by the ring commissioners. The cost of the courthouse litigation, which passed through several courts before reaching the Supreme Court, has been paid out of the country treasury. Knowing these facts to be true the people have determined to put a stop to the robbing of the county to pay individual debts. Democrats to Be Disappointed in Jay. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. PORTLAND, Ind. Nov. 3.—Despite the many stories circulated, it is believed that Jay county will do her full duty at the polls next Tuesday and will put forth a strong effort to give George W. Cromer, Republican candidate for Congress, a good lift. The tale that he will lose two hundred in this county alone is a good deal of a Democratic dream, and its materialization would be a marvel. The Democrats and Populists have a strong fusion, which makes the condition of the county ticket considerably in doubt, and the result necessarily will be close. This at least Is the feeling among the more conservative on both sides. Posey in Parke Connty. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. ROCKVILLE, Ind., Nov. 3.—The Hon. Frank B. Posey delivered one of his able political speeches to the voters at the courthouse last night. It was the best speech of the campaign and will do much good. His tribute to President McKinley's administration was a masterpiece. Mr. Posey is always welcomed In Rockville, and many citizens would like to see him go to the Senate. Parke county is well organized and much hard work will be done to carry it. Chairman I. L. Wlmmer and his coworkers intend to redeem the county. Watson to Have llig Majority. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. RICHMOND, Ind., Nov. 3.—The Sixth district Republican committee is of the opinion that Hon. James E. Watson, candidate for Congress, will be elected by a larger majority than Hon. Henry U. Johnson received two years ago. The committee is also confident that the State will go Republican by a handsome majority. C. G. Swain, chairman of Wayne connty. gives it as his opinion that the county will greatly increase its Republican majority.

Beveridge Meeting: n. Record Breaker Special to the Indianapolis Journal. SOUTH BEND, Ind., Nov. 3.—Albert J. Beveridge spoke here this evening and had the largest meeting of the campaign In this city, llis address was one of the best ever dtlievered in South Bend. He made a fine impression and created much enthusiasm. Mr. Beveridge was entertained by Mayor Schuyler Colfax, and while here visted the University of Notre Dame, where he met a cordial reception at the hands of President Andrew Morrissey. Drove Thirty Mile* to Speak. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. MONTPELIER. Ind., Nov. 3.—Union B.

TALK WITH ADMIRAL MILLER He Think* Hawaii Is Possibly Our Most Important Naval Station. CHICAGO. Nov. 3.—Rear Admiral J. N. Miller, who hoisted the flag over the Hawaiian islands and proclaimed them part of the United States, left this city to-day, after a day's stay, for Springfield, 0., his boyhood home. Admiral Miller will retire from service In the navy Nov. 22. Before leaving Admiral Miller said: “I believe the Pacific station to be second in importance,, if not the most important naval station we have. I think so not because I have commanded our fleets in those waters so many years, but because the rapid growth of the West coast cities indicates that a large population will eventually reside there. I am, therefore, greatly satisfied that the government has 3een fit to send two such magnificent battle ships as the Oregon and the lowa to the Pacific station.” Shaking of his prospective retirement, Admiral Miller said: "I greatly regret the necessity of quitting the service at a time when I feel I am well able to fulfill my duties, but 1 must give way to younger men. I have had my innings and must give others a chance.” With regard to the lessons gained by the late war he said: “First and foremost, I think the necessity for the Nicaraguan canal is the thing of prime importance to our navy. A country which has such a vast coast line on two oceans needs a route by which war ships can be transferred from ocean to ocean without incurring the necessity of circumnavigating a continent. I think the Nicaraguan canal will be built in eight years. It is the only practical passage. The chief difficulty to be surmounted in Nicaragua is the establishment of a port at Greytown. The shifting sands thereabouts lender navigation difficult, and considerable expense would be Incurred in fixing the harbor up. Another necessity shown by the war is that of having a large number of first-class battle ships, capable of sailing thirteen miles an hour. We must have them, and I think we will have them. We want more ships like the recently launched Illinois. “With regard to Hawaii, it is especially

pleasant for me to close a long service by presenting my county with a large and fertile territory. Ever since my first visit to Hawaii, In 1555, I have been convinced that the islands should belong to us. I have visited Honolulu many times and have always been accorded a royal welcome there. It is now a thoroughly American city and we did right in taking it in.” Reserved for the Navy. WASHINGTON. Nov. 3.—The President has issued a proclamation reserving for the use of the United State® navy certain water front property In Honolulu, selected by Captain Tanner recently. The property is described as follows: “First—The water front lying between th© Bishop estate and the line of Richards street, Including the site of prospective wharves, slips and their approaches. “Second—The blocks of land embracing lots Nos. 86 to 91, 100 to 131, including Mililani street to the intersection of Halakanwlla street, and the government water lots lying between the Bishop estate and Punchbowl and Allen streets.” NO OUTRAGES IN PORTO RICO United States Volunteers Not Guilty of Humanism and Thievery. WASHINGTON. Nov. 3.—Some of the newspapers published in Porto Rico have been publishing articles bitterly criticising the conduct of the United States soldiers who have been sent to the island as a permanent garrison. The soldiers have been accused of all sorts of misdemeanors, of ruffianism, of petty larceny, of the destruction of private property, and, in fact, of every kind of excess which might be charged against green troops in a foreign country. Tho charges reflected particularly on the volunteer regiments, and were so general and earnest that Secretary Alger felt called upon to take formal notice of them. It was evident that if they were well founded the Porto Ricans were likely to be alienated from their new allegiance almost before they had become fairly attached. So a cablegram was sent to Major General Brooke, commanding all of the United States troops in Porto Rico, calling his attention to these reports. The answer came this morning in the shape of the following cablegram from General Brooke, dated San Juan, Nov. 2: “Bad behavior of our soldiers in Ponce province is news to mo. Colonel Castleman, commanding the provisional brigade there, is now with me, and say3 report is entirely unfounded. New regiments coming in were unsettled for a few days, but are all away from there now and at their regular stations.” Return of the Fourth Ohio. NEW YORK, Nov. 3.-The United States transport Chester, Captain Cann, arrived in quarantine to-night at 8:30 p. m., from San Juan, Porto Rico, having on board the Fourth Ohio Volunteer Infantry, under the command of Colonel A. B. Colt, having left San Juan Oct. 29. The officers and men of the Fourth Ohio comprise 1,120 persons, and there are only three sick on board, who are convalescents of the regiment and are doing well. They speak well of their treatment on the way home. Private A. L. Vertner. of Company K, died of exhaustion from chronic dysentery on Oct. 31, and was burled at sea with military honors the same day. Return of Gen. Roy Stone. NEW YORK, Nov. 3.—The Red D line steamer Philad€lphia arrived at quarantine to-night from Venezuela, via Ponce, Porto Rico. Among her passengers from Ponce were Brig. Gen. Roy Stone, Colonel Hunter and Colonel Goethel, en route to Washington. The ship’s officers denied report previously published that two passengers were arrested on arrival at Ponce. The* Philadelphia brought the chief engineer and five of the crew of the Maricaibo. before reported wrecked Oct. 16 at Paraguana. Third Illinois Retnrnlngr. NEW YORK, Nov. 3.—Word was received at the army building to-day that the transport Roumanian left Ponce for New York with the Third Illinois Regiment on board. The regiment is en route home.

SICKNESS AT HONOLULU. Camp ChflnKPil on Account of Prevalence of Typhoid Fever. VICTORIA. B. C., Nov. 3.—Honolulu advice*. per R. M. S. Arorangi, which axrived to-day, are to the effect that work has been stopped at Camp McKinley. The entire camp will be moved to the Noanolulu tract, which General Merriam has recommended as a site for the permanent army post. Typhoid fever was the cause of the abandonment of the camp. Troops at Camp Otis will remain there until the arrival of the transport Arizona frem Manila. Typhoid fever was sown broadcast during the time the ordinary rules of sanitation were disregarded in the military camps. There are said to be fifty cases, but trained nurses have been added to the force at the hospital from the city, and it is believed that the death rate will be very small, malaria is on the decrease. When the Arorangi left there were 163 patients in the hospital, fifty showing typhoid symptoms. General King says that the patients at the hospital will be moved as quickly as possible to some place near the hills, where it is dryer and cooler. He says the hospital should not have been located where it is. The New Yorkers and engineers will remain at Honolulu indefinitely for garrison duty. Five deaths from typhoid occurred during the week previous to the sailing of the ship. The names of the dead are: Charles H. Thompson, New York regiment; Thomas Beaver and Private Tlmberiake, Eighteenth Infantry; Julius N. Miller. Company E. Nebraska volunteers, and D. W. Dawson, Company F, Colorado recruits. Brigadier General King had quite a controversy with Police Judge Wilcox. The judge, while seniencing some privates for disorderly conduct, is reported to have said that if there was any surety of the men being punished by court-martial he would let them off easy, but on a previous occasion when they made a disturbance the commanding officer could not be found, but was sick in bed, although the same night he gave a big dinner party and the men were whitewashed. General King wrote to Wilcox asking him if he used the language, and the judge replied that the report was correct. King then asked for an apology, which Wilcox declined to give, and there tne matter rests for the present. it is estimated that the new bank will commence business in Honolulu the first of the year, with a capital of SBOO,OOO, with power to increase it to $3,000,000. Part of the capital is local, it will not be a national bank, but organized under the laws of Hawaii. The transport Senator arrived the day before the Arorangi sailed. She wilt coal at Honolulu and proceed to Manila. The voyage was uneventful, but the men complain of poor food and crowded quarters. On the night of the 22d 300 men were attacked with a violent nausea, the result of eating tainted food. All recovered. Tlie St. Louis A Northern Short Line. ST. LOUIS, Mo., Nov. 3.—At a meeting of the directors of the St. Louis. Peoria A Northern Railway Company to-day John N. Falthorn, of Chicago, was elected president of the reorganized company, which will be known In future under the corporation name of the St. Louis & Northern Short IJne. President Guy resigns in order to assume the presidency of the construction company which will undertake the work of constructing the extension of the St. Louis, Peoria & Northern line from Peoria to Chicago and to Clinton on the east side of the Mississippi river. Thomas W. West, of the St. Louis Trust Company, and John N. Faithorn were elected directors of the reorganized company. It is understood that the new qompany will make no changes in either the operation or traffic departments of the line. The Mistake* (if Murat. To the Editor of the InOlanapolls Journal: It is claimed in the advertisements of Mr Murat Halstead's new book, “Our Country in War.” that it is "brimful of original pictures.” Among the Illustrations printed in the volume are two which are in every sense “original"—one is entitled “United States Regular Cavalry Charge in Cuba,” and the other, “United States Regulars on the March to Havana.” The piquant originality of these dashing military scenes lies in the stubborn reality that the United States army didn’t make any mounted cavalry charge In Cuba, and the march on Havana materialized only in the columns of the New York yoilow journals.
