Speeches to Farmers at Many riaces Incidents of the Day. LINCOLN. Neb.. Oct. 13. With prosperity as his principal topic of discussion Senator Hanna traveled through the eastern tier of counties of Nebraska to-day, making speeches In over a dozen cities and towns, and winding up to-night at Lincoln, the home of Mr. Bryan, where an Immense demonstration had been arranged in his honor. Most of the district covered by the Republican leaders to-day is distinctly agricultural, and, speaking to the farmers, who In many Instances made up a large proportion of the crowds that greeted him. Senator Ilanna took present and past industrial conditions as his topic Senator Ilanna did by far the greater part of the speaking. Senator Frye speaking but twice, including a brief address at Madison, Senator Allen's home. His speeches were, as a rule, mors lengthy than those of any previous day of the tour, and in order to complete the programme the first speech this morning, at Sioux City, la., was made before S o'clock. To-morrow, the last day of the tour, will be spent for the most part in the extreme southeastern part of the State, the two principal meetings being at Nebraska City in the afternoon and Omaha in the svanlng. The special train, it is expected, will leave Omaha Immediately after the close of the meeting there, and will run straight through to Chicago. Sioux City was the first stop to-day. It was about 7:39 a. ra. and the crowd which greeted Senator Hanna. was made up mostly of worklngmen from the nearby shops and mills, who, with their dinner palls on their arms, crowded around the stand erected in the big train shed In the depot and thouted "Hello. Mark," to the Republican leader. Mr. Hanna made an address of about ten minutes. "You men, better than anyone else." said be, "know what the continuation of tho (CONTINUED ON THIRD PAGE.)

Maryland, Delaware, West Virginia and Kentucky Republican Latter to Be Counted for Bryan, Special to the Indianapolis Journal. WASHINGTON, Oct. 19. After spending two months in the West, South and East the correspondent of the Journal does not hesitate to say that McKinley will be re-elected, that he will have a larger majority in the Electoral College than in 1S36, though his popular majority may not be so great this year as then, and that the House of Representatives will be Republican by a safe working majority. The New England States are conceded to McKinley. Even Governor Stone, the Democratic rainbow chaser from Missouri, doesn't lay claim to Connecticut, aforetime a doubtful State. New York and New Jersey will be for McKinley, the former by a reduced majority. Delaware will be for him unless the Ad-dicks-IUggins-Dupont folly prevents. Maryland will give McKinley a substantial majority, the Honest Money Democratic League much more than offsetting Senator Wellington's disaffection. West Virginia, naturally Republican because of its mineral resources (in ante-bellum days it used to return a Whiff. to Congress) will do as well as or bet,' ,-han in 1S36. Kentucky will poll a majority for McKinley that will probably be counted for' Bryan. Ohio is one of the States Governor Stone fancies is arched by a Democratic rainbow, but It will give McKinley a thumping majority. My private advices, not from politicians, lead me to believe that Indiana, long the stormy petrel of middle West politics, will do even better than It did four years ago, that the alleged disaffection in the gas belt has died out and common sense resumed her level-headed way. From advices from similar sources I put Illinois in line for McKinley, the lineal political successor of Abraham Lincoln. So, too, with Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, North Dakota. Kansas, South Dakota and Wyoming, I think will be found in the McKinley column. Instead of the Bryan, as four years ago. On the Pacific coast California and Oregon will increase their McKinley majorities of 1S08, while Washington will swing from Bryan to McKinley. Colorado, Utah, Idaho, Nevada and Montana will probably go for Bryan, though the first threo are fairly doubtful. State pride will probably keep Nebraska in line. REFEREE ASSAULTED. Dosen Policemen Necessary to Stop a Mlx-Lp at a Prise Flffht. CHICAGO, Oct. 13. Another referee was assaulted at the Illinois Athletic Club tonight, and it took a dozen policemen to restore order. The row was precipitated by Referee Patsy Fallon, of Omaha, calling tho fight between Clarence Forbes and Walter Bloom a draw, after Forbes seemed to have had the best of the contest. Wnen Fallon made his announcement Harry Forbes, a brother of Clarence, rushed at the Westerner and landed a villous swing on his Jaw. The latter grappled with Harry, and Clarence rushed to his brother's assistance. The three were In a lively mixup, with Fallon getting decidedly the worst of it, when several policemen rescued him from the onslaught of the two bantam weights. Polleemen were then stationed at the four corners of the ring to prevent further disorder during the wind up between Benny Tanger, the "Tipton Slasher," and Tommy Sullivan, of Brooklyn, which resulted in a draw after six furious rounds.

BIG CROWD AT HUNTINGTON AND FAIR AUDIENCES IN OTHER PORTIONS OF TUE STATE. Bryan Aceused of Teaching Fallacies and D. D. Ulli Seored for Ills Trust Affiliations. IIINTON, W. Va., Oct. W.-Governor Roosevelt and party closed their tour of West Virginia to-night after one of the longest Journeys in his Western trip. Starting from Parkersburg, on the upper Ohio, In the morning he made speeches at different points along the Ohio river, notably at Point Pleasant and Huntington, and from the latter place started up the great Kanawha valley, making speeches along the way and going across the river at Charleston to witness a great demonstration at the state capital and make an address at the wigwam. He was accompanied from Huntington through the Kanawha valley by Governor Atkinson and staff and state offi cers and a reception committee of one hundred prominent Republicans. At some places in the mining regions there was a liberal use of powder in the cannonading as the special train arrived, and the miners got up all sorts of demonstrations in honor of the vice presidential candidate. From Charleston the special train proceeded over the Chesapeake & Ohio Railway directly across the mountains, where the population was not so dense as along the rich valleys through which he passed during the day. The two days that Governor Roosevelt spent In touring this' State have been among the most eventful in the history of the campaign. Governor Roosevelt passes next Into Maryland and thence into his own State after having crossed tho continent along the lakes westward and returning by a circuitous route through the middle States and tho Ohio valley. Politically speaking, to-day was the greatest day in the history of the city of Charleston for years. Early trains and steamers brought hundreds of people to hear Governor Roosevelt. From sections of the contiguous territory where no other conveyance could be had the people came to town afoot, on horseback and in country road wagons. Women and children were in evidence, and they "camped out" until nearly a thousand horses and probably twice as many footmen began to move. SPEECH AT CHARLESTON. Col. Roosevelt and party reached Charleston at 3:40 p. m., and were met at the station by an escort. Governor Atkinson was traveling with Governor Roosevelt, and they went direct to the "Wigwam," which was so crowded that it required strong efforts to press through the immense throng to the speaker's stand. Gov. Roosevelt spoke for twenty minutes. Soon after he started speaking a portion of the root of the Wigwam gave way, caused by the great strain on it. No one was hurt, and quiet was soon restored by Governor Atkinson. Governor Rooeevelt said in part: "The first thing in a political party is to aim at sincerity, honesty of statement, honesty of performance. Now, Mr. Brs-an has claimed to be against trusts, yet Mr. Bryan's own manager. Senator Jones, is not only the chief beneficiary of the cotton bale trust, but ho quibbles about it and says it Is not a trust. Mr. Bryan was the guest of Mr. Croker in New York, and if he is correctly quoted says Mr. Croker is the greatest man In the world and Tammany Hall the greatest organization in the world. The counsel for the sugar trust Introduces Mr. Bryan, whose thesis Is denunciation of truaL. Mr. Croker, wio la the only man through whom Mr. Bryan can hope to be elected, and who is the chief spirit on that occasion, denounces trusts in his public capacity, while In his private capacity he is promoting a trust that, in my opinion, is an iniquitous one. Ex-Senator Hill, who is also supporting Mr, Bryan, is denouncing trusts, is counsel of the corporations endeavoring to break down tho franchise tax law. Mr. Bryan is introduced and championed by these three men and is being managed by Senator Jones. "Now, understand me. I do not enter Into the merits of these trusts, save that I believe the ice trust, not only from the character of the commodity in which it ueals, but from Its connection with the leading local politicians, can properly be denounced as iniquitous. I have no doubt that there are plenty of fairly honest men who have gone into these trusts simply as a business matter, as they would go into any corporation, but what I want to em phasise is the utter hypocrisy of using another trust as a party shibboleth In the Bryanized Democracy wnen the prominent leaders of that party have private ownersnip in the very trusts which they ostenta tiously denounce. "Mr. Bryan is making every effort to car ry New York and he known his sole chance a very small one. gentlemen lies in the Crokerized Democracy of that State using every means at its command. When Mr. Bryan allies himself to Mr. Croker and is the beneficiary of all for which Mr. Croker stands he forfeits the right to be treated as sincere in his opposition to trusts. e have often been told that Mr. Bryan must be pardoned for his crude and raw theories of finance and economics, and even for his aiding and abetting the Malay bandits who are shooting down our soldiers in the Philippines, upon the ground that he has good Intentions; that he is sincere in his denunciation of wrong. I do not see how such a claim can be urged by the guest of the Tammany Democracy, one of the foundations o which is blackmailing the protected vice and infamy that in New York city flourishes with hideous ranknc?a unr.er Tammany's control. Mr. Croker is tryinjr to help Mr. Bryan to a national sue cess vhJch would mean the deepest stain upon our financial honor at home, the deep est stain on the honor of our rtag abroad. In return Mr. Drvan ts trying to help Mr. Croker to bring down the State of New York to the level of the coarse and vicious evil to which New York city has been al ready reduced. After further referring to trusts. Colonel Roosevelt said the Republican party had made promises relative to the matter of trusts and would keep its promises. "Six years ago," haM. "there was free soup. and now eler snd you can havo free KOUP WltX . 1 U f

prophecies made four yeurs ago had como

true. "Do not surrender," said Governor Roosevelt, "what you have for that you know not of. Look back four years and see what we had. The farmers, miners and business men are now together and are prosperous. We appeal not only to Re publicans, but to all." Gen. Joseph Wheeler was praised. The epeaker appealed to both the old and young men to remember the flag and stand by the party that upheld it, and held tt a sacred emblem of the Nation. Governor Roosevelt began his tour of the State early this morning, his train departing from Parkersburg over the Ohio River Railroad at 5 a. m. The Republican organi sation of the State was represented on toard the train by William M. C. Dawson, secretary of state and chairman of the Republican committee, C. H. Livingston, secretary of Senator Elklns, was also on board. The first stop was at Ravenswood and the second at Mason City. At each place good-sized crowds heard brief speeches from the rear platform of the train. Governor Roosevelt spoke In his accustomed strain, urging Republicans to help maintain prosperity and ridiculing the Democratic cry of imperialism. Col. Curtis Guild. Jr., of Massachusetts, spoke at each of the morning stops and aroused much enthusiasm. At Point Pleasant Gov. Roosevelt and party left the train to address a large crowd from a platform in the town. At Huntington there was a large demon stration and street parade. Over 15.W0 greeted Governor Roosevelt. - He was in troduced by J. L. Caldwell, who, during the last campaign, was a Free Silver Re publican. Mr. Roosevelt was given a won. derful ovation. He was followed by Curtis II. Guild, of Boston, in a forty minutes speech. Governor Roosevelt and party arrived In HInton at 7:30 o'clock this evening. They were met at the station by a crowd of 3,000, while that many more were seated about the speaker's stand which had been erected in the park awaiting his arrival. t.at preparation had been made by the Republicans of this place for the Roosevelt meet ing, and a reception committee of about one hundred of the local Republicans met the party at the train and an ovation was given the Oovernor. Cannons were fired, torpedoes exploded and at the Chesapeake & Ohio ehops near by many locomotive whistles were sounded on the arrival of the vice presidential train. Roosevelt and Colonel Guild made addresses. The party left here at 9:45 by special train for Maryland, where Governor Roosevelt will speak at Baltimore and other points in that State to-morrow. IT IS STILL MUDDLED SITUATION IN THE ANTHRACITE REGION NOT YET CLEAR. Ofacera oZ the Mine Workers Union Have Shown No Disposition to Call Off the Strike. MINERS ..BECOMING RESTLESS MAY" NOT WAIT UNTIL THE POWDER QUESTION IS SETTLED. Belief Growlnsr that a Break Will Re Blade Before Long:, When Some of the Men Will Go to Work. HAZLETON, Pa., Oct. 19. As far as the United Mine Workers of this city are concerned, matters are at a standstill in the anthracite miners' contest with the operators. There was nothing new in the situation to-day and President Mitchell still refuses to talk. Much disappointment was expressed in this region to-day because an early ending of the strike was prevented by reason of the powder grievance. What will be done with this question is difficult to forecast, and it is believed the United Mine Workers officials have not yet definitely decided what they will do. Some of the strike leaders say the union officials are not authorized by the Scranton convention to decide the powder grievance and that another convention of miners will be necessary to dispose of the question. A prominent official of the United Mine Workers said to-night that the men throughout the anthracite coal field were Insistent on a flat 10 per cent, increase without the powder reduction being con sidered in figuring out the percentage of advance. When he was asked what the United Mine Workers would do if the operators refused to recede from their stand, he said the contest would continue until the operators made the concession. When it was suggested to him that there might be a break in the ranks of the strikers before (he operators would weaken he expressed the utmost confidence In the loyalty of the men in the entire region. Notwithstanding the confidence of the la bor leaders in their ability to hold the men together, there is a belief prevalent here that a break will come sooner or later. Strikers seeking relief from the United Mine Workers are becoming more restless with each succeeding day. STRIKE LEADERS S'JPICIOUS. Think the Coal Companies Are Trying: to Break Up the Union. W1LKESBARRE, Ta.. Oct. 13. The strike leaders here are growing suspicious that there is some kind of an agreement between the coal companies by which they expect to break up the miners' union. The effer of the Reading Company and the op position to the same on the part of thj companies is something the labor leaders cannot understand. At the conference in Philadelphia on Wednesday the Lehigh Valley agreed to the same terms as the Reading so far as their Lehigh collieries were concerned, but the company refuses, so the strikers allege, to make the same concessions to their employes in the Wyomlnc region. . The o21cers of the United Mine Workers hero 6ay there is no con slstency In that. The action of the Lackawanna. Ontario and Western, the Pennsylvania Company, and other large producers in comblnln with the Lehigh Valley on the powder question tends to confirm the views enter talned by the officers of the union, that a concerted effort Is to be made by the ccmpanles to get the better of the union and lnclts a break la ths ranita of the strikers. The operators who participated In the conference at Scranton on Thursday say they are acting in good faltii. that the Cffer they have mde the men! the beet that can he made jnt th'.a-r4 It grants

GIRLS AT ITHACA ANNOY HIM DY DISPLAYING A PICTURE OF PRES IDENT BIKINLEY. College Student Also Cause a Com motion by Yclllna- and Asking Questions aa to the Issues. SYRACUSE. N. Y., Oct 19.-Willlam J. Bryan, the Democratic standard bearer, today experienced his second encounter of the campaign with college students. It occurred at Ithaca and the students were from the Cornell University. The incident was not so exciting as that at Ann Arbor for the reason that the young men were not so persistent and did not work in such unison, but there was one feature of interest which was not noticeable at Ann Arbor. This was tho participation of young women in the affair. A hundred or more members of the opposite sex were stationed at windows in the high school Just back and over the stage from which Mr. Bryan spoke, and they disturbed the proceedings to as great an extent as they could by lowering posters bearing a picture of President McKinley so as to attract the attention of the crowd. The young men who were below responded to these signals with cries and yells, and they also asked numerous questions while the speech wa3 In progress. Evidently, too, a large percentage of the students were in sympathy with Mr. Bryan, and some of them shouted lustily for him when his replies to the questions of their fellows were especially to their liking. Mr. Bryan waa generally voted to have met the occasion successfully, and that he did so was eviaenced by the fact that the interruptions grew fewer and farther apart as the speech proceeded, and at last ceased altogether. The day was rendered Interesting by a spirited meeting at Auburn, the home during his lifetime of Secretary Seward, and Mr. Bryan's pointed reference In his speech there to the manager of an Important manufacturing enterprise located at that point, which he evidently intended should have greater than local application. Speeches were also made during the day at Cortland and Bingharaton and at several other smaller points. The day's work closed with a meeting at Rochester late to-night. The meetings of the day were generally well attended, and those at Ithaca and Binghamton were especially large. Probably the Binghamton meeting was the most enthusiastic meeting of the day. In all Instances, except at the beginning of the Ithaca meeting, close attention was given to his speeches. FIRST SPEECH OF THE DAY. Mr. Bryan's first stop was at Solvay, a suburb of Syracuse, where he made a short speech to several hundred people. He made no more direct reference to the great salt Interests of this place than to say that he "did not know enough about the local conditions to be able to discuss the things that his auditors were thinking about." In connection with trusts he said: "I don't believe that It is a good thing for Ireland to have a few landlords and the rest of the people tenants. Neither do I believe that it' would be a good thing in this country to have a few men standing at the head of great Industries and all the rest merely clerks under these Industries." He again referred to the Increase In the size of the standing army and said that upon the present basis of 100,000 soldiers the expense to the country would not bo less than $75.000,000 a year for the military establishment, or an average of (1 for each inhabitant cr $5 for each family. Taking up the Philippine question, Mr. Bryan said that the Republican party was promising to be "good to the Filipino." "That," he said, "is what every king promises to his subjects." On this question he further said: "When the Republicans tell you that there is going to be a great profit in the exploitation of the Philippine islands, you tell them that every dollar of money sent from this country to exploit the Philippine Islands will be taken out of the available money of this country for the establishment of industries here, and every time we send over and establish a big plant there we make it less likely that a big plant will be established here, and if we allow those people to come over here they Trill bring In their Oriental manners and we will have the same question on hand that we had In the Chinese question." BRYAN SCORES A REPUBLICAN. Mr.' Bryan reached Auburn at 3:30 and spoke to several thousand people In Seward square. The stand from which he addressed his audience was so located as to cause him to face the bronze statue of William H. Seward, from whom the square takes its name. During hU speech Mr. Bryan made an Incidental reference to Mr. Sew ard while speaking of a political resident of the city named Metcalf. who is the head of a large agricultural Implement manu facturing company located at that place Referring to Mr. Metcalf, Mr. Bryan said "I have had ray attention called to the fact that you have here a great manu facturlng plant and that at the head of it stands a man by the name of Metcalf. Mr. Metcalf is reported In your Republican paper as saying that In the event of my election the plant will be closed. I want to tell you to-day that the argument of the Republican party Is not based on human rights, but It Is basetf merely on commer clallsm and on business. There," he said, DOlnting to the statue of Seward, "stands the statue of the greatest man your city produced until Mr. Metcalf aroe. and there Is the linger pointing- upward, and I believe on the pedestal you will find thAlnscrlptiian. 'Tmre m a mgner law.

To-day the Republican be lieves in the dollar first and the man after wards, if at all; and to-day when you confront the Republican party with the charge that It is abandoning the Declaration of Independence, with the charge that it Is destroying the foundation of free govern ment, with the charge that it Is disregarding the doctrine that gives this government its power from the just consent of the gov erned what Is their answer? It Is this: If you dare to vote the Democratic ticket and manifest an interest In the old principles we will close down our factories and de stroy your town " "AN OLD TRICK." Later on in his speech Mr.v Bryan reverted to Mr. Metcalf and his Institution, saying: "This firm In your city threatens to close Its factory. That is an old trick. They made the samo threat In 1SDG. and yet, after the election, many that had threatened to close the mills If I was elect ed cut down wages and made their men suffer after Mr. McKinley was elected. If this company tells you that It cannot do business under a Democratic administration, I want you to remember that we have Just as many farmers here under a Democratic administration as we have un der a Republican administration, and they will have to use agricultural implements and somebody will have to make them; and If these men tell you that they are going to close down they simply tell you that they are going to let other people do the work and make the Implements for the farmer because they won't work under a Democratic .administration.

Wanted to Collect an Alleged Debt of $30,000 at the Monies of a Couple of Large Revolvers. ARRESTED AND LOCtf ON THE CHARGE OF ATTEMPTI KILL THE WIRE TRUST 31 AG N A'. Says lie Only Wanted Sloney, and Did Not Mean to Inflict Bodily Injury Oace Drought Suit. CHICAGO, Oct. 19. S. I. Morr rested, this evening, for an alleged attempt on the life of John W. Gates, ex-president of the American Steel and Wire Company. When searched at the police station two large revolvers were found in his pockets. It is asserted that Morris also had designs on the life of W. J. Brlmson, general manager of the Kansas City & Southern Railroad, whom Morris, it Is alleged, had enticed to this city by means of a telegram purporting to have been signed by Gates, but which he himself had sent. Manager Brlmson arrived at the Grand Pacific Hotel to-day. In accordance with the appointment made in the telegram. Falling to find Mr. Gates, he called on him In his office In the Rookery building. After a hasty consultation the two men decided that Morris originated the scheme, both having received threatening letters from him. Morris was captured near the offices of the Illinois Steel Company, in the Rookery building. He was formerly In the employ of Gates and maintains that the latter owes him $50,000. Tenants of the Rookery are said to have overheard the prisoner making threats to kill Mr. Gates and the two men refrained from going to luncheon at tho Grand Taciflc Hotel, where, according to the telegram.they were to have met. Instead, the attorneys for Mr. Gates, with offices in the same building, were notified and they at once dispatched a messenger to detective headquarters and asked Capt. Colleran's assistance. When taken Into the chief of detectives' office Morris could, apparently, give no intelligible explanation of the affair and refused to assign any reason for being in the possession of the two revolvers. Mr. Gates is a multi-millionaire and returned but recently from Europe, where he spent the summer. Morris is a contractor at 206 La Salle avenue, Chicago. The two detectives who had been rushed to the Rookery building on receipt of a telephone message from the Gates attorneys found Morris disputing angrily with the elevator conductor, who refused to allow hlra to ascend. After disarming Morris the policemen took him to the central station, where he was locked up. Morris finally acknowledged that he intended to collect an alleged debt aggregating $50.000 from Gates and Brlmson at the muzzle of his revolver. .Morris, who was at one time In the employ of the Illinois Steel Company, declares that he was authorized by Gates and Brlmson to expend certain sums of money In the furtherance of the Calumet & Blue Island Railway. In 1S9 Morris brought suit against Gates, but says he withdrew the suit on the promise of a settlement of his claim. The settlement, he says, has not been effected. Morris, when seen tonight In his cell, emphatically denied that he intended to inflict bodily injury on either Mr. Gates or Mr. Brlmson. I have known John W. Gates for the last eighteen years," said Morris. "You can tell him that if he has any Idea of truth and Justice I should like to know why I am here. Yes, I brought suit against them In 1SD9, and they promised a settlement, but they did not keep thflr word. W, W. Irwin, or St. Louis, will defend me." Charles G. Gates, a brother of John W. Gates, said: "Morris Imagines that we owe him money. He has taken the gold cure three times." Morris went to the Rookery building during the afternoon and entered the office of J. IC Knapp, general attorney for the Illinois Steel Company. He Immediately began talking excitedly, and. drawing a revolver, leveled it at Mr. Knarp Spectators threw Morris out of the office, and as he went down the corridor he houted that he 3rAMld kill Gates und Brim onj)fof VUlding!
