power and placed In those of seventy million of freemen." App!au?e. Mr. Bryan treated the trust question In practically the same manner as characterized his Kentucky utterances, averring that while we had trusts In IK6. they were not so plentiful or menacing as to-day; that one leech may suck blood without the great public realizing Its presence, but that an army of leeches took away the substance of public life, lie claimed the Republican party said some trusts were bnd and others good. "Do you want to kno-' how bad trusts are?" asked the speaker. "Trusts are actually so bad that a Republican convention In this State, a convention run by Mark llar.na, denounced them. They told you there were good. trusts and bad trusts. Do you know the difference between a good trust 'and a bad trust? A good trust gives liberally to a Republican campaign fund and a bad on? does not. Applause. The Republican party cannot destroy the trusts. When the attorney general of the United States I aked to intervene there comes the biblical injunction, remember thy Creator. The Republican party was the creator of the trusts." Mr. Uryan denounced the Increase of the regular army as being called for by the President two months before there was tny war or act of hostility, which he cons;.ued jis the basis for a change In our national policy, a change from the simplicity of a republic to that of imperialism. He said Abraham Lincoln had applied the principles of the Declaration of Independence to the, black man while the Republican rarty of to-day denied the same principles to the brown man. "I dare the Republicans to defend the title by purchase of ten millions of men." continued Mr. Rryan. They claim the right to be in the PhlllpI sines by purchase, and that. too. after havng paid a lew price for human beings than pay for hogs. Let God choose between this definition of the Declaration of Independence and that which says all governments derive their just powers from the consent of the governed. fAppIaue. When we engage in a war of conquest we abandon the doctrine of self-government and lose our influence throughout the worlJ. If we ask Justice for the struggling Boers In South Africa we are asked In return What's the matter with the Philippines? This Nation ceased to be a nation when It ran away from the Declaration of Independence, from tho sentiment that all men were created equal." Mr. Bryan said that when he first went to Cincinnati, in March, lS3o. to advocate the cause of fre silver th first and foremost man to lend him aistance and sympathy was John It. McLean. Applause. "Under his guidance." said Mr. Bryan, "our party In this State polled more votes prior to ISM than we would have done otherwise, and the only reason we did not carry the State in 1SD was that there were more votes counted than we or the law

machinery supposed existed In the State. When you vote for him you will register a vote for free sliver and help save the country from Imperialism and militarism, and I believe you will scare the Republican party back to the support of the Declaration of Independence." Applause. TRUSTS AND AXGEI.9. t Sir. Dry an Tries to le Fanny Before Farmer of Cellna. CELINA. O.. Oct 19. Cellna was reached on schedule time, and the reception was extremely cordial. A gathering of good proportions greeted the arrival of the train. 21r. Bryan said in part: This is one of the States In which an Important campaign Is being carried on this fall, and this election is not only important because you choose your State officers this year, but because the verdict at the polls will be accepted as your opinion on the issues which are now before the public. Some one has likened government to a corporation In which every citizen is a stockholder, which from time to time selects its directors. Taking that idea of government, the corporation can select a new board of directors when they choose, and the directors ought to protect the interests of the stockholders. That is a matter of business, whether applied to the stockholder or the citizen, the one representing the other in the comparison. "The voter has a right to expect the officer to observe the conditions and promises of the platform. The farmer is careful in the selection of the hired hand and ought to be in the selection of public officers, but It Ls said he allows himself to go to sleep and never awakens until the affairs of the Nation have run up against a stone wall. They never realize the public condition until they run up against a stone wall. I think the time has come when no farmer can afford to be a Republican. I believe the farmer who supports that party stands In his own light and is doing himself an Injustice. ' "I believe the members of the Republican party of an earlier date have a great reverence for Abraham Lincoln. Great changes within the party have taken place since then. Abraham Lincoln In 1&1 wrote a letter in which he demonstrated that he be lieved in the man nrst ana tne aouar aiterwards. Since those days the party has placed the dollar first and the man afterWards, and if you Republicans who reverence the name of Lincoln want to change conditions, bring the party back to Lincoln's standard, you must employ an artist to draw the difference between Mark Hanna and Abraham Lincoln, employing the toboggan slide as a background. Applause. "With Abraham Lincoln the man came first; with Mark Hanna nothing is genuine unless . ffie dollar mark is blown In the bottle. When the Republican party was organized It was with the Idea that political convictions were stronger than party ties. The vicious dollar mark was not a consideration then." Regarding the trusts. Mr. Bryan followed his previous line of argument, saying that, 'When the Republicans tell you some of the trusts are bad and some good, tell them all look alike to you until the Lord sends angels to take care of them, and he has not sent them yet." Laughter. Mr. Bryan paid a passing reference to Governor Roosevelt's appearance in this State In support of a larger standing' army, asked if It was for the purpose of securing the blessings of assimilation, and likened our Philippines policy to the colonial policy of England In India, suggesting that the President of tbo United States have the title of President of the United States and Kmperor of the Philippines, Queen Victoria being recognized as the Queen of England tnd the Empress of India. The Increased empire meant an Increased army and Increased taxation to sukport the theory of imperialism. He challenged the Republicans to defend the policy of measuring human life by the value of acquired -territory. He did not believe the American people would be willing that one human being should be rent to death in this way and he did not believe If every P.llplno were killed to-morrow that you could get Americans to go there and attempt to exist under a tropical tun. lie denounced the preaching that God had been the instrumentality of our presence in the Philippines and said: "When .God gets ready to speak to the American FAIR WEATHER TO-DAY.

people, he will find somebody else than Mark Hanna as a mouthpiece." Mr. Rryan did not believe we could shoot or dynamite our civilization into- the Filipinos nor did he believe that in the matter of territorial acquisition we should be finkirg to the low level of European nations, affirming that we should not trade the glory of a hundred years . a republic for the doubtful glory of an empire. 4IRGCS WO MUX TO ASSIST.

Mr. Bryan Wants the Fnlc Sex to Make War on Trust. VAN WERT, O., Oct. 19.-St. Mary's had a good crowd present to meet the special train. Mr. McLean introduced Mr. Bryan In words similar to the previous meetings and Mr. Bryan discussed the silver Issue at some length and the matter of government by injunction and urged the election of Mr. McLean as Governor. Handshaking and a few personal greetings were Indulged In at Rockford and Ohio City, the train reaching Van Wert at 4 o'clock. The visiting party was' escorted in carriages to the courthouse, the public highway being thronged with a cheering mass of humanity. C. D. Hoke presided and introduced Mr. McLean, who, in brief terms. Introduced Mr. Bryan. After discussing the money question. Mr. Bryan turned his attention to trusts. He" said: "In 1S92 one of the distinguished citizens of this State gave out an interview in which he said the women defeated the Republican party in the State. He said the women went to the store to make purchases and when they inquired why prices were advanced and were told that it was because of the McKinley bill they influenced their husbands to vote the Democratic ticket. Now, the Republican party being the creator of the trusts, and the trusts cause the advance in prices, I expect the women to again influence their husbands to vote the Democratic ticket this fall. The Republicans denounced trusts and Mark Hanna has been busy apologizing ior it ever since. A Chicago paper recently published the opinion of a well-known banker, who said that 'In the long run trusts can do no harm hut suppose the farmer cannot live until the run is out? What then? Itehind the trusts stand all the great financiers who support the gold standard." Mr. Bryan Insisted that we are face to face with the question of Imperialism on one hand and the republic on the other and a colonial system supported by a large standing army, from which he discussed the Philippine question, declaring that "this Nation cannot afford to do wrong nor can we place a money value on American blood. Trade, how much trade do you want? How much Is a man's life worth? You dare not drag this question down to the basis of dollars and cents. They have sixty people to the square mile over there and we have thirty here and yet we hear of our surplus" fopulatlon going to the Philippine Islands.' want to say to you that this fall you wilt have to speak on these great questions. If you believe in a large army and imperialism vote the Republican ticket. If opposed? to each vote the Democratic ticket. I want to say to the Republicans here, speak out against this policy thi3 fall, block this policy of the administration. If not. the President has a right to believe that you are standing by him. The remedy lies in giving Filipinos what we have promised td give to the Cubans. Say to the Filipinos 'We have driven Spain out and to the world, 'Hands off; let this nation stand erect, supported by the great moral forces which represent the difference between republicanism and monarchy and we shall shake every throne In Europe and thereby gain a victory greater than that of Yorktown." Applause. A great crowd was present at Paulding! when the train drew into the depot at 7 o'clock and the greeting was demonstrative: DEATH OF W. H APPLETON. Long at the ilead of a "Well-Known Publishing? Firm. NEW YORK, Oct. 19. William II. Appleton, of the publishing house of S. D. Appleton & Co., died to-day at his home In Riverside, N. Y., aged eighty-five. ( William II. Appleton was a very young man when, in 1S30, he and his father began business in New York city. Possessed of but little capital, the first venture of the partners in publishing cost them only. $75. It was a tiny book entitled "Dally Crumbs." and provided its devout readers with a text of Scripture for every day In the year. William H. Appleton preserved a copy of this book shrined in a silver casket, and privileged acquaintances were often invited to see it. At the beginning of 1849 Daniel Appleton retired from the tirm. Into which several members of the family had been admitted. He died In the same year, when the firm consisted of William H., John A., Daniel 8. and S. F. Appleton, and its business then, as now, included a branch In Europe, which had been established by its founder, who crossed the Atlantic for this purpose. George S. Appleton, now deceased, entered the firm In ISC . He founded the department of Illustrated books. In 1SS1 John A. Appleton died. The firm then consisted of the following gentlemen: William II., Daniel S., William W., a son of the first named, and Daniel, a son of Daniel S. Appleton. The senior member of the house was a gentleman of quiet and refined address. He was dignified, but affable and exceedingly courteous. His customary dress was dark, a long black frock coat its principal feature, lie was tall and thin and graceful in his movement when young. The firm printed many costly works. The wellknown "American Cyclopedia" cost 125,000 a volume before a sheet was printed, cash paid out for editorial work, setting type and making plates from which to print It. Other books scarcely less costly and important than this bear the Appleton Imprint. Their Popular Science Monthly is the leading publication of its kind on this continent. The New York Medical Journal is a weekly paper of excellent standing in the profession. Jesse L. Davis, Sonar Writer. NEW YORK, Oct. 19. Jesse L. Davis, author of many popular songs, died to-day of heart disease, aged thirty-six eyars. He was a negro, a native of Cincinnati and a graduate of a college there.

EMPEROR WILLIAM AGAIN. Another Speech by the Rnsy Monarch Trlbnte to Science. CHARLOTTENBURG, Prussia, Oct. 19. At the eieberation of the centenary of the Technical High School here to-day Emperor William and the Empress, with five of their sons, were present. The minister of public Instruction, Dr. Von Weyauch, read a royal decree empowering the Technical High School to confer the degree of doctor. Envperor William, in the course of an address, pointed out the connection between his Cabinet and universities and dwelt on the great progress of technical science. "Technical science," said his Majesty, "like all true science, 19 traceable to God, who enables man to penetrate the mysteries of creation." The proceedings terminated with three cheers for the Emperor. r BERLIN, Oct. 19. To-day's papers are, for the most part, barren of comment upon the speech of Emperor William at Hamburg yesterday at a luncheon following the launching of the battleship Kaiser Karl der Grosse. The Berliner Tageblatt, however, says: "His Majesty's expressions of regret that his wish for a big fleet did not meet with intelligent furtherance eight years ago will be found significant Just now in more ways than one." The Socialist organ, the Vorwaerts, says: "The whole speecn was a mixture of panGerman fleet enthusiasm and Dr. Von Mlquel's nonpartisan sammelpolltlck. It dovetails tK programme with the Oyenhausen anvj Dortmund speeches. While the former proirlses an anti-strike Dill and the latter declared a determination to carry through the canal project, this speech at Hamburg announces a new and immense naval bill. The Emperor's words cannot be construed otherwise." SLASHING FREIGHT TARIFF. Omaha Road Are ' Cutting Rates to the Sowth. OMAHA, Neb., Feb. 19. Other roads than the Burlington and Memphis have taken a hand In slashing rates on packing house products to the South. Yesterday the Gulf punched a 13-cent reduction hole In the tariff from Kansas City to Galveston and Houston, Tex., and to-day the Missouri Pacific, which enters the same territory, and the Rock Island, both announce that rates on packing house products have been reduced from CO odd cents per 100 pounds from Omaha to Galveston and Houston to 4$ cents. While the 4S-cent rate has been made from Omaha to Texas points named, the 6-cent differential over which the Burlington has been fighting for some days is still allowed to remain In effect between Omaha and Kansas City, the rate from Kansas City to Galveston and Houston being placed at 42 cents per 100 pounds. TWO NEGROES DEAD. A Lively Race War In Alabama with a Bloody Ending. DECATUR, Ala.. Oct. 19. There are two dead negroes, three or four wounded and two in Jail as a result of a race war last night "and this morplng at East Decatur. The riot was caused by a negro woman, the wife of Alex. Orr, abusing the wife of Charles Jones, a steamboat engineer, for which James severely beat the woman and was last night waylaid by a negro mob and fired upon. The whites retaliated with the result mentioned. Alex. Orr. the leader of the negroes, has been arrested, and it ls thought no further trouble will occur. Ql'EEX WILIIKLMIXA'S Sl.ITOHS. The Yonnsr Woman I Slow In Making Her Mind. London Letter. . Though the reports of last year made it appear as quite certain that Queen Wllhelmina was to marry Prince William of Wled. the important matter of a proper husband for the young sovereign Is still causing her loyal subjects considerable concern. Irlnce William by no moans has the Held entirely to himself, for while it is well known that Queen Wilhelmlna has a strong liking for him. it is equally true that she also greatly admires the Prince Bernard-Henri of SaxeWelmar. Those who know Prince Bernard most Intimately declare him to be a "handsome fellow with a splendid mind, and a graciousness and dignity such as would make him a fitting consort for even Holland's young and beautiful Queen." Another reason why Prince Bernard is in special favor with the Hollanders Is that, had not William III remarried and Queen Wilhelmlna been born of that union. Prince Bernard would to-day be their sovereign In her stead; and these loyal people feel that, having been cheated by fate out of the throne, it would seem a lilting proposition should he win the hand of the young Queen. Scarcely less of a favorite with Queen Wilhelmlna is Prince Frederick Henri of Prussia, son of Prince Albert of Prussia, regent in the duchy of Brunswick. Prince Frederick Henri is probably the wealthiest of the Queen's suitors, hut as Wilhelmlna ls Immensely rich In her own right, the sordid question of possible wealth will scarcely be considered when choosing her life companion. Nor is the fact that Prince Frederick Henri is Emperor William's favorite as a possible husband for the Queen likely to influence her ultimate choice.

THE SENATOR SHOWS HE IS NOT AFRAID TO DISCUSS C03IDINATIO.S. lie Say the Quentlon la Not Political, But Purely Business ''Combine" av Benefit to the Country. CLEVELAND, O., Oct. 19.Senator Hanna, In a speech before , the Fifth District Republican Club to-night, defined his position regarding trusts. On this subject he said: "The Democrats say I am afraid to talk about trusts. That settles it. I am going to talk about them. This combination of capital for one purpose or another is not a political question at all. It is a business question, and ought not to have been brought into politics. When our industries were in their infancy England and other countries came along and sold goods in this country at less than the price asked in their own. Then followed the protective tariff law, formulated by that friend of the workingman, William McKinley. Having secured this protection. American manufacturers went abroad. They are making rapid strides, and are successfully competing with the whole world. It ls evident, however, that they cannot continue to do so unless they have combined capital. We ought to own and control our own merchant vessels. We then would be in shape to make our own rates and compete with other nations on an equal footing. We have now reached the stage when we are doing more exporting than importing. The last year was the first year in the history of the country that this was true. But we must look to the future. We must stand prepared for the changes that are bound to come. "This formation of 'combines' is simply an evolution in business methods. Should railways own their own steamship lines, there would be a marked change In the rates. All this requires capital, and such a tremendous amount that no ordinary corporation could stand It. The so-called trusts are not new. Xhey have been found in England and Germany as far back as two hundred years and are Increasing. Therefore, from a business standpoint of view, the formation of these combinations, in onj sense, is one step onward. The Democrats would have you believe that they are terrible anacondas and will swallow us all up. However, If the trusts are a menace to the country, what party better than the Reftublican party can give you relief? When t comes down to plain facts, the various labor organizations are a 60rt of trust, and I believe in them and always have. They are for the purpose, I believe, of helping the Individual members. The organizations of employers should go hand In hand with the organizations of the employes. In that way much good can be accomplished. Cheers for Dewey and Schley. NEW YORK, Oct. 19. A mass meeting was held by the Republicans at Durland's Riding Academy to-night to ratify the fusion ticket for Judicial offices and the office of sheriff. It was practically the opening of the campaign this year in Greater New York. The crowd was so large that overflow meetings were organized. Senator Chauncey M; Depew, chairman of the meeting, received an ovation. Among other things. Senator Depew referred to the war with Spain. He said he wanted to give the Filipinos the light of liberty A voice: "Hurrah for Dewey", the same liberty that we gave the Cubans "Hurrah for Schley," cried a man, the people of Porto RicoThen some one called for an opinion on Admiral Dewey. "Three cheers for Dewey, somebody again shouted. "Yes," said Senator Depew, "give three cheers for Dewey." There was a prolonged silence, and then some half-hearted cheers were given. People seemed surprised at the request and did not applaud. , . , Governor Roosevelt was the principal speaker. He spoke chiefly on local issues, denouncing Tammany with great vigor. Will Speak in Ohio. WASHINGTON, . Oct. 1S. Postmaster General Charles Emory Smith will leave here Sunday night to participate in the Ohio campaign. He speaks at Athens Oct. 23. Springlield 24, Norwalk 25 and Steubenvllle on the 2tth. Assistant Secretary of the Interior Davis also nas arranged to eyea in various towns in Ohio, beginning Oct. 23. STRIKE A BLOW. (Concluded from Virmt Page.) guarding the railway at Riverton road, eighteen miles north of Klmberley, on Sunday morning. The police retired. A terrific explosion was heard later and It ls believed that the Boers blew up the station. A relief party of twenty-flve police, sent from Klmberley, met the Boers, near Riverton. The enemy displayed a white flag to induce the troops to fall into their trap, but the police were ordered to retire. Then the Boers opened a heavy fire upon them, discharging about four hundred rounds. A bullet struck the horse of Surgeon Major Sullivan, who, with a trooper whose horse had stumbled and dismounted him, was captured. VOLUNTEERS FOUGHT WELL. Repulsed 2,000 Boers rrlth the Aid of Maxim Guns. LONDON, Oct. 20. The Pietermarltzburg correspondent of the Dally Mall, in a dispatch dated Thursday, says: "The brunt of the fighting at Bester's Station yesterday was sustained by the volunteer patrols. The fighting was brisk. The Boers numbered 2,000. The volunteers at one moment were in great peril, being nearly cut off, but the officers handled their men splendidly and the Maxims effectively stopped the Boer rushes. The Boer shooting was wretched. The volunteers lost their kit, and, altogether, the experience was a pretty trying one. Our men were in the saddle three days and two nights, with hardly a rest. Basuto natives were fighting with the Boers. It ls reported that sixteen Boers were killed. Lieutenant Gallwey, who ls reported missing, is the eldest son of Sir M. H. Galway, chlol justice of Natal. He ls supposed to be In hiding and searching parties have been sent out to try and find him. The cavalry are still bivouacking out and slight skirmishes are frequent. "I learn officially that Commandant General Joubert has moved hia headquarters to Dannhauser." WAR OFFICE STATES! EXT, Pleterinnrltzburfi, and Durban to He Protected IJelntod Dinnn tclie. LONDON. Oct. 19. The War Office this evening issued the following bulletin: "No news of importance has been received from Natal to-day. The cavalry attached to our forces at Ladysmith and Dundee are engaged in observing the enemy's movements. Steps have been taken to secure Pietermarltzburg and Durban against raids on the western frontier. "There is no recent reliable intelligence from Kimbtrley or Mafeklng, both places being cut oir from railway and telegraphic communication. It is believed, however, that a skirmish took place on Sunday six mi.es south of Klmberley, and that the Doers were beaten otf witn some loss by an armored train, mere was some fighting at Mafeking on Friday or Saturday, enulng wlih a repulse of the attacking force. "Boers in considerable numoers are assembled opposite Aliwal North and BethuHe, on the Orange river. "Railway communication with the Orange Free State and Transvaal has now ceased, the remaining refugees having been warned to h ave by way ot Delagoa bay." The usual batch of belated news dispatches from South Africa was received here to-day. A cable from Glencoe Camp, dated 7:35 p. m., yesterday, says: 'The liritish troops here have been under tire. A strong Boer patrol was encountered tight miles from the camp and was repulsed, the British suffering no casualties." The following official note regarding the Boer advance was issued at Durnan yesterday: "An Orange Free State force, with a few guns, moved about ten miles down Tintwas pass, opening with artillery on small British cavalry patrols. The range was 'very distant and the shooting indifferent. The object may have been either a feint or to draw our troops from the real point of attack or a prelude to Boer concentration against Ladysmith." Advices received from Cape Town report that a dispatch from Klmberley, dated Oct. 17. says: "All is well here. Colonel Hore engaged Boers at Mafeklng on Oct. It with great success. Mafeking was still safe on Oct. 15." A special dispatch to the Cape Argus reiterates ih statement that la the n-htlns

at Mafeklng Colonel Hore repulsed the Boers, inflicting a loss of 300 men. The Cape Times publishes the following dispatch from Klmberley: "Reliable Information from Mafeklng says that an armored train, while reconnolterlng north of town last Saturday, engaged S.OuO Boers, who suffered severe!.. Colonel Fitzclarence's column foiled t. . 3oers. inflicting severe loss. The Brltls-. casualties were two killed and fourteen w nded, two severely." According to private information received in London from Bloemfontein. capital of the Orange Free State, President Kruger telegraphed an account to President Steyn of the affair at Kraaipan, where the Boers derailed and bombarded the British armored train carrying Captain Nesbitt's party. Mr. Kruger said that Nesbltt and seven men were seriously wounded: that no one was killed and that all the prisoners were well. According to the same advices a Dutch farmer- living in one of the border towns has received a letter from a friend in the Transvaal referring to the Mafeking affair as "bad business." There ls an Incessant procession of applicants for active military services at Cape Town, and the new force of 3.000 mounted infantry which the imperial government has sanctioned will be quicKly raised. The premier. Air. Schrelner. continues to ifsue circulars to the Dutch residents, advising them to maintain strict loyalty to the imperial government. The best authorities here now agree that the danger of a general revolt is very slight. Complaints of Boer outrages upon the natives continue to arrive at Cape Town. These serve further to inflame the Basutos and Zulus. Yesterday 150 Basutos from Johannesburg arrived at Burghersdorp, Cape Colony, and alleged that the Boers hai robbed them wholesale and flogged them with "blacksnakes." The party, which included a son of Chief Lerothui, was supplied with provisions and the Basutos then departed homeward, cheering for the Queen and singing war songs. A dispatch from Burghersdorp, Cape Colony, dated Oct. 18, says: "The chief Boer commandant at Beeste Kraal sent a message to Aliwal North, requesting the town folk to prepare coffee for his men, who arrived there this morning." Advices from Cape Town, dated yesterday, say that the governor of the colonv. Sir Alfred Mllner, has Issued a proclamation prohibiting the Importation of all danserous explosives. A dispatch from Pretoria asserts that the Transvaal government has cabled to Joseph Benjamin Robinson, the millionaire gold mine owner, and chairman of the Robinson South African Banking Company, who is now in London, to return to Johannesburg on pain of confiscation of his property. Mr. Robinson characterizes the alleged threat as ridiculous. He says he Is a British subject; that the Transvaal government has no right to demand his return, and that his property has not been and will not be confiscated. Portugal, according to a dispatch from Berlin, has given distinct assurances of neutrality. A continuance of commerce with the Transvaal by way of Delagoa bay is, therefore, secured.

CONSUL. MACniM'S TASK. How His Post Has Become One of Great Importance. WASHINGTON, Oct 19.-From being a position of comparative obscurity and unimportance, the office of the American consul at Pretoria, in the Transvaal, has become one of great responsibility. During the war between Great Britain and the Boers, all the interests of England, as well as of our country, will be In the keeping of this consulate. American pecuniary Interests in South Africa are measured by millions, but the real delicacy of the consul' task lies in his acting for the British government. Overtures or proposals for peace from either of the nations at war will have to be communicated through the American consul. He will also have charge of the records and-archives of the British consulate, and will, as far as he Is able, protect the lives and property of the honcombatant English. f The man who must shoulder all this responsibility ls Charles E. Macrum, of East Liverpool, O., a place not far from Canton. Mr. Macrum is thirty-four years of age and, until he received his present appointment, never held public office. His training has been entirely In business lines, and not in diplomacy. A few years ago he a gciiciai uiunuscr 01 a gjass iactory at East Liverpool, but he exchanged this position for one in a national bank in the same town, and gave up that In turn to go to Pretoria as consul. He Is said to have given good satisfaction with his official work, and the belief at the Department of State is general that he will rise to the present emergency and acquit himself with credit. 1 The United States governmerii has consular agents at Durban, in Natal, and at Klmberley, in Cape Colony. These officers' are a grade lower than consuls, getting no salary and being residents of the places where they serve. Gardner Williams, at Klmberley. Is a Callfornlan, but his residence before appointment was Cape Town.' A. H. Rennie, at Durban, is a Scotchman by birth. At the present writing Klmberley is reported to be surrounded and isolated, so that any Americans there will have to appeal to William VICTORIA SAYS FAREWELI. Bids the Gordon Hlchlnnders Godspeed on Their Trip to Sooth Afrlcu. LONDON, Oct. 19. The Queen drove from Balmoral Castle to the Ballater barracks to bid farewell to the Gordon Highlanders, who are going to the Cape. After reviewing the troops the Queen addressed them as follows: "I am pleased to see you looking so well and fit for duty. You are going on foreign service and I wish you all a godspeed. I hope you will return safe and well." The officers were then presented to her Majesty, the men cheering and the Queen bowing. It is rumored that the channel squadron has been ordered to Queenstown. Almost everything ls now in readiness for the great departure of troops from Southampton tomorrow, when five transports, each carrying 1,000 men, with officers, will depart for South Africa. The first will sail at 10:33 a. m., the others following at intervals of half an hour. The Associated Press learns that the transports will go neither to Durban nor Cape Town, both of which are already overcrowded with refugees, but to Port Elizabeth, Port Alfred and East London, from which points railroads converge directly upon the Free State border, when concentration will be effected somewhere in the neighborhood of Norval's Point. The advance will then begin toward Pretoria, straight through the Free State. It is stated that the transports Servla, Catalonia. Siberian, Jamaican and Oreana will assemble at Southampton early next week with troops aboard to embark the Irish contingents. It is alpo announced that arrangf ments have been made for several battleships and cruisers to convoy the transports to the Cape. The New South Wales Assembly has decided to dispatch a contingent of troops to the Transvaal. The Duke of Connaught will come to London to-morrow to bid farewell to the gtwrd. A Cabinet council lasting two hours was held at the Foreign Office to-day. Lord Salisbury presiding. Germany'! Attitude. BERLIN, Oct. 19. The Cologne Gazette, in an article probably Inspired, argues against the manifestation by Germany of sympathy for the Boers, asserting that the ultimate assumption of power by England In the Transvaal would be an acceptable issue of the struggle, but suggesting that In the remote eventuality of the prolongation of the war. Involving Great Britain in serious difficulties, Germany should . keep her hands free in order to be able to vindicate her interests. Indiana Mulen Shipped to !ntal. EVANSVILLE. Ind., Oct. 19. An agent for the British government was in the city to-day and shipped 100 mules to St. Louis. They are Intended for use In the war in South African Republic. The mules will be sent to New Orleans by boat and from there direct to South Africa. There are evcr.U agents scouring the counties in Southern Indiana and Illinois buying mules for the British government. 51 A II K II AM IX i:GLAD. Ills 31 an Tilth the Hoe Not Well Received. W. L. Alden's London Letter. The difcu?alon as to the ethical value of "The Man with the Hoe" has reached England. There cannot be much doubt as to the verdict. The average Englishman Ls not a sentimentalist, and when the farm laborer is represented as a wronged man simply because he is compelled to cultivate the ground for a living the Englishman Ls disposed to exclaim "Bosh!" Certainly if the views of the author of the poem are to prevail we shall have no more vegetables, for the simple reason that no one will consent to degrade himself by wielding the hoe. Why a man who has been accustomed all his days to labor In the fields should not be as happy as the man who labors at boo!:keeping behind his Ccz)i Is tot very t?Z7-

Happiness does not depend wholly upon the possession of a piano and a top hat. The man with the hoe lacks many things which the bookkeeper has, but ho does not feel the want of them. It would bo absurd to call a horse unhappy because he does not eat oysters, but it seems to many persons to be equally absurd to call tho farm laborer unhappy, wronged and oppressed because he does not ride in a carriage and spend his time In purely Intellectual work. I do not mean in the least to carp at the poetic merit of the poem: It Is purely the ethical view of it which ls Just now under discussion here. TELF- PHIC BREVITIES.

To the men immediately interested international yacht racing ls the costliest pport in the world. The bill for the yachts themselves, for building, alterations and repairs, will amount to fully $250,000 for each; the expense of raciner them cost their reepectivo owners easily $2o0,000 more. Here is a cool million Just for building and racing the boats. The sails alone cost as much as an ordinary sailing yacht. The Columbia's sails are said to have copt 3.000. and the Shamrock's even more, for hers were woven to order from Egyptian and Sea Island cotton mixed with silk. The expense of maintaining the crew was, or rather is, enormous, for the boats are not yet out of commission. It la said that the skipper of the Columbia receives $2,000 for his services. The salary of the mate is $100 a month: the second mate. $40; the four quartermasters. $35 a month each, and the thirty-two members of the crew each $30 a month. Food for tho crew costs easily JGuo a month; each tender accompanying the yacht costs $4,000 for tho few weeks of the season, and dockage and' tonnage cost about JS.000 more for each yacht. Estimates of the total cost of tho Shamrock have been placed all the way from $150,000 to $450,000. Probably Sir Thomas himself does not know exactly what his little sport has co?t him; there are doubtless stack of bills yet to be presented such bills as $l(.O0O for the charter of four tender, and $".400 wages for twenty extra sailmakers for three months. Besides all this. Sir Thomas paid $275.0no for his steam yacht, his a-home, the Erin. $100,000 more In fitting her out. and another $100,000 in entertaining guests during his visit. The most Impressive feature about this array of costs Is that the yachts upon which so much has been spent are useless after the races. The Columbia, for instance, can race no more, for there will probably be no yacht fit to mtet her, and for cruising she would be a failure. In a year or two her delicate hull will be worth only the metal of which it Is made. The money spent by yacht owners In entertaining also reaches far Into six figures. Commodore Morgan entertained at least one hundred guests every race day; and Howard Gould and John Jacob Astor entertained even a greater number. coinage: FACTS. Vhen Welalits) Were and What They Are. B. T. Doyle, in Leslie's Weekly. : The first financial legislation of Congress under the Constitution was the act of April 2, 1792, which fixed the weight of tho gold dollar at 27 grains and that of tho silver dollar at 416 grains, and these weights obtained till the act of June 28, 1S34. reduced the weight of tho gold dollar to 25.S grains (900 fine), leaving the silver dollar unchanged; and these weights again obtained from that time till the act of July 1?, 1S37. reduced the weight of the silver dollar to 412.5 grains, leaving the gold dollar unchanged. The weight of the gold dollar has never been changed since that tlmo and the weight of the silver dollar (excluding the trade dollar) has never been changed since that time in weight, but the act of Feb. 12, 1S73 (known as the demonetization act), discontinued the coinage of the silver dollar and authorized the coinage of the trade dollar of 420 grains of standard silver. These conditions prevailed from that time to Feb. V. 1878. when the Bland-Allison act. restoring the coinage of the standard silver dollar of 412.5 grains under somewhat different conditions, became the law of tho land: so. that, barring the trade-dolllar, tho weight of the sliver dollar has been 412.5 grains ever since July 18, 137; and tho weight of the gold dollar has been 25.8 grains ever since the 2Sth day of June. 1M4; but, leaving out the trade dollar, tho amount of fine sliver In the silver dollar (371.25 grains) has never been changed since it was fixed by the very first financial-act of Congress on the subject in 17J2; the difference between 416 gains and 412.5 grains was made up of alloy; but the amount of fine gold in the gold dollar has been changed since that time: It was originally 24.75 grains, but it was reduced by the act of June IS, 134, to 23.22 grains of fine gold. The coinage ratio in 1712 was 15 to 1 (that Is, 15 grains of silver was equal to 1 grain of gold); but the acts of 1G4 and changed the ratio first to 16.002 to 1, and then to tho present coinage ratio of 15.9-SS (commonly called 16) to 1, which has remained the coinage ratio between the two money metals ever since The Infant Terrible.
