AT HIS . OLD TRICKS

BRYAN STILL JUSUKPRESENTIXG Till! HEPU11LICAN PARTY, Try In to Make Xew Yorkers Hell eve His Opponent?! Arc WorkhiK la Uarmonr with Monopullr. TEITE APPEAL TO FARMERS HOW RHPIBMCAXS ARK SAID TO 1MSCLSS PUOSPEUITY. Fonr-Day Cnmpalgn In the Empire Stnte Cunrlnded vltlt Two Meetings nt IluITalo BUFFALO, Oct. 20. Mr. Bryan concluded hi four-day campaign tour of the State of Ntw York with two large meetings in this city to-night. One of these meetings was held at the Broadway market and was an cpon-air gathering, and the other at Convention Hall. Before reaching Buffalo ;"he had made fifteen addresses during the day, beginning with a thlrty-rclnute speech at Klmira at 9 o'clock in the morning. The ether places at which he spoke were as follows: Corning, Bath, Cohocton, "Waveland, Livonia, Avon, Spencerport, Brockport, Holly, Albion, Medina, MIddleport, Lo kport and Niagara Falls. The attendance at most of the day meetings was good and at some of them quite large. The audiences could not be said to be enthusiastic as a rule, but everywhere the Democratic presidential candidate was accorded most crrefui attention and respectful treatment. During his State tour Mr. Bryan has made about sixty-five different speeches, and he has oulto thoroughly traversed the central belt of the State from east to west. He ltft this city to-night at 12 o'clock for Huntington, W. Va., where he will begin a, one-day trip across West Virginia next Monday morning. Mr. Bryan began the speechmaking on the third day of his New York tour at Elmira at 0 o'clock this morning. lie spoke from a stand erected in a park and he had a large audience. Mr. Bryan said in part: "I am glad that I live In a country where no man can be elected unless the people want him elected and where no policy can be enforced unless the people want that policy enforced, for up to this time the Republicans have not yet denied our right to attend to our business, although they deny the Filipino the right to attend to his business." Mr. Bryan then spoke of the trusts. In view of the general Republican knowledge concerning the trust3 and Mr. Hanna's declaration Mr. Bryan asserted that he had never known a man whose word "amounted to so little among his friends as did Mr. Hanna's. If there Is an ice trust," he continued, "Mr. Hanna's word cannot be accepted." THE TRUTH TWISTKD. Discussing the Republican attitude on trusts Mr. Bryan declared that the Republicans were inconsistent and that they had no remedy for trusts. He said: "They opened the session by creating a money trust and they are closing it by practicing fraud in their pretended effort to stop ether trusts. The amendment to the Constitution offered by them was not necessary and Us purpose was not to give Congress the power that it needed. It was to take away from the States power . that they have so that If the trusts control the government the States would be powerless to protect themselves against a private monopoly. Thiit was the purpose of that amendment, and when it was defeated the Republicans confessed we did not need it, because they then brought in a. bill which they said was Intended to protect the people from private monopoly a bill brought la after the amendment was defeated, showing that they did not need the amendment, and all the Democrats voted tor the bill. I believe there was scarcely an opposition vote in the House, but when it went to the Senate and the Democruts demanded that it be passed at once the Republicans sent it to the Judiciary committee, and there it sleeps to-day." Mr. Bryan said that the money which wns being expended in the .Philippines could L much more profitably utilized in developing the resources of the United tfte. He suggested as one means for utilizing the money the construction of storage reservoirs in the semi-arid regions of the West for the holding of surplus waters, which would, he said, materially lncrease the agricultural area of that section and add to the wealth of the country at laige. -But." he added, "the Republicans would rather waste blood than save water." Mr. Bryan spoke for twenty minutes from the rear ilatfonn of his car at Corning The railroad yards were weil tilled and the national candidate was warmly received. He declared that the Republican party was putting Its plea this year on the lowest plane that a political campaign had eer been made upon. In support of this statement he said they were all things to all men; they were making sre-clous pleas to all classes and were meeting no arguments. He discussed the army nd territorial expansion in practically the same terms as In previous speeches. While Mr. Bryan was talking of the trusts someone asked abcui the silver trust. Mr. Bryin replied: '.'There is no silver trust, but if theie were and it would contribute enough to the Republican campaign fund the Republican party would be for silver." Concluding his speech, Mr. Bryan said: "If oii want the trusts to grow, vote the Republican; if you want the trusts to go. vote our ticket. If you want the standins: army to grow, vote the Republican ticket; but if you want the large army with all its accompanying evils to go. vote the Democratic ticket. If you want Imperialism to grow, vote the Republican ticket; but if you want Imperialism to go. vote the Democratic ticket, and if successful we will try to bring the Nation back to the fundamental principles of the fathers and place it firmly again on the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence as ltd chUf foundation stones." AT CAMPBELL'S HOME. Mr. Bryan's time at Bath was extended from thirty minutes to fifty because of the fact that that is the place of residence of Democratic State Chairman Campboll. Mr. Campbell, who has traveled with Mr. Bryan during the New York State tour. I resented the national candidate to the audience. Mr. Bryan addressed himself largely to the farmers, who, he said, constituted one of the great wealth producing classes of the world. He said that notwithstanding each decade shows that the farmers are growing poorer, others are growing richer. "You are not sharing in the blessings of this Nation," he said, "nor have you your share of the protection of government. The question for you to ask yourselves Is whether you are receiving our share of the boasted -prosperity of thU country. You will find fortunes accumulate In this country to-day more rapidly than ever before In the history of the world. They are not accumulating on t.ie farm, but the man at the head of a tyndicate can, by breaking the stock marker, make enough In one day to make him a fortune greater than any man In New crk ever made n a farm since New York b came a Stnte." Returning from B3th to Rochester, Mr. EO'an made five-minute stops at the towns cf Cohocton, Wayland, Llvonda and Avon. At Coliocton he Paid that a majority of the Popi received no benefits of the special $iaion of the Republican party, but .Rs tend they were the victims of the combinations fostered by thxt party. At Wayland he discus.ted the foreign polLy of the government as exemplified in r management of the Philippine islands. He condemned that policy, but said th3t z never io-t hope- "When the childr -n Israel were in bondage," he said, "it

took them several years to recure' their release, nnd it was not secured until the Jlayin of the am -born. In our case I believe the ulaying of the first born Is going on In th- Philippine Islands, where our ioys arc dyins to purchase trade with hurnan blood, that syndicates may exploit the Islands, and I believe that in. the flaying of the first born the eyes of tnc people Will be opened to the iniquity of Republican policies." At Avon Mr. Bryan talked to the pcorle on the Philippine question, and ald we should treat the Filipinos according to American principles. There were short stops and brief rearplatform speeches at a number of stations along the line from Rochester to Lockport. These stops included Spencenort, Krockport, Molly. Albion. Medina und Middleport. At Spencerport Mr. Bryan talked lor the minutes, principally about trusts, and he promised that if elected he would 'do his best to suppress them. Rockport greeted Mr.' Bryan enthusiastically and he remarked that he hoped the t-mhusiasm would continue until election day, and that every man would vote just as he would If the election depended upon his ballot. SPEECH TO FARMERS. At Holly he said the ballot was not given to the individual with the idea that he should protect his own rights alone, but with the idea that he should give the Nation the benefit of his business judgment and support. The numerous apple orchards in the vicinity of Albion suggested a text to Mr. Bryan and referring to the apple product, he said: "If Republicans go into. Kansas, where they have a largo wheat crop, they say: 'See how prosperous the farmer Is and how his land yields under a. Republican administration.' If they go up into North Dakota, where there has been a short crop of wheat, and where the short crop has raised the price, they say to him: 'See the high price of wheat, and I suppose they come into this town and tell the farmers to vole the Republican ticket because of the high price of apples In this part of the State. If they can ask a farmer to vote the Republican ticket when wheat goes up, when hogs go up; or when anything goes up that he raises, how can they explain why an 'pple grower should vote the Republican ticket when apples go down, and when they teil you that you are getting your share of the Nation's prosperity I want you to compare the prosperity of the apple grower with the prosperity of the trust magnate. How many years do you think an apple grower will have to work in order to raiso enough apples to make enough money to have a large fortune?" Mr. Bryan devoted almost his entire speech at Medina to the trust question and his remarks were based largely on the following statement prepared by a local authority: "Four years ago there were three foundries at Medina under separate management, each employing from 100 to 1Ö0 men. In July, 1SCO, these three foundries entered the trust, the Central Foundry Company, which has a monopoly in the manufacture of soil pipe in the United States. Soil pipe was immediately advanced to consumers substantially 10o per cent. Very soon one foundry wa3 closed, was left without a watchman and has been burned, then a second one was closed and has remained so about a year, and is not expected to be run again; five months ago the third was closed by the trust, although it is now claimed it will be reopened. The village was booming and very prosperous when the trust entered It. To-day the foundry workers of these three foundries have either gone to other towns or are among the farmers helping gather their apple crop." Commenting on this statement Mr. Bryan said: "Why need I tell you people what a trust means in a town like this? Does not the Standard Oil trust teach you the same lesson? Does not the sugar trust teach you the same lesson? Don't you learn It from a hundred other trusts that plunder the people at every turn?" Announcing himself as opposed to all private monopoly in a short speech at Middleport, Mr. Bryan said he had never faltered in his belief that the people were the source of all power, and "when I change my opinion," he said, "instead of attempting to rob the people of this country of their form of government, I will go to a monarchical government and make my home there." VOTERS SHOULD REGISTER. Mr. Bryan made the first of four evening speeches at Lockport, talking for about thirty minutes. Before entering upon his speech proper, Mr. Bryan suggested that If any person in the crowd had failed to register he should go immediately after the close of the meeting to attend to this duty. In this connection he said: "We want every voter to vote this year, for a vote this year may determine not only ths policy of this government, but It may by Its Influenco determine the policy of other governments, for to-day we are fighting our battle upon the hilltops and the world looks on. We have a government perfect in theory; we have a government which can be made as good as the people want it, or desire to have It, and if we can solve aright tho problems that confront our civilization, then our example will be a help and Inspiration to others. But if we fail here then our failure will bring despair to those who are not situated as we are. Mr. Bryan again referred to Senator Depew, and repeating his former statement that the senator received ten times :;s much pay for his services as president of a railroad company as he does as senator of the United States, he said he had no doubt that the senator gave ten times as much attention to the railroad's affairs as he dtd to those of the Nation. Mr. Bryan announced himself as favorable to both an income tax and the election of senators by a direct vote of the people. lie promised that if he should be elected tho voters of the country would have an opportunity to register the names of their choice for senator upon their ballots, lie closed with an appeal for Justice to the Filipino. Mr. Bryan's Niagara Falls meeting was cut short In order to give more time at Buffalo. He spoke there in front of the Cataract House, and within sound of the great falls. His meeting was of good size and appreciative. The speech dealt with all the issues of the campaign, and especially with the Philippines problem. He adjured his listeners to bear in mind the golden rule In dealing with the Philippines, and said that the Republican party had not been able to withstand temptation. Instead of putting the islands behind them as the Nazarine had done when the world was offered Him, that party had looked upon and longed for the Filipinos, saying: "They are a likely lot of fellows, and we will give $2.50 apiece for them." Coming to Buffalo a brief stop was made at Tonawanda, and this city was reached at 830 SPEECHES AT BUFFALO. The reception in Buffalo was all that Mr. Bryan could have desired. A dense crowd of people filled the streets, and there was an elaborate display of fireworks from start to finish. In the open-air meeting at Broadway Market the speakers' stand was surrounded with densely packed people extending probably 200 to 3u0 feet in every direction. Mr. Bryan was in fine voice, and the people were attentive, so that almost all of them heard all that he had to say. In this speech he gave especial attention to the citizens of foreign birth, saying that to change our form of government, as we were manifesting a tendency to do in our dealings with the Filipinos, would be a gross fraud upon those who had come to tho United States. He referred especially to the fact that thero are a number of Poles in Buffalo, and said that the sad history of Poland should be a sufficient example of the effect of the subjugation of .an alien race. The speech was warmly applauded, and at Its conclusion Mr., Bryan was driven to Convention Hall. Hundreds had been turned away from Convention Hall before Mr. Bryan arrived. Whei: he entered the great audience rose, and. with waving flags and roaring cheers, made a demonstration that only the most slrenuous efforts of the candidate could quiet. Standing dramatically with extended arm. he hushed the tumult Into quiet. In a few words he pointed out that the campaign was nearly closed and that the time of decision was close at hand. In passing over the issues he said: "The Republicans made new questions and we meet new questions when they arise. They could have taken the trust question out cf politics had they desired. There is no use discussing lesser lights," Mr. Bryan remarked, "because Mr. Hanna has said there ore no trusts.' The only trust that any Republican knows anything about Is the ice trust. Yet here they contradict Mr. Hanna, who says there are no trusts. There had been an ice trust in Nebraska." he continued, "but there was a Democratic Governor and the trust was dissolved." While Mr. Bryan was in the midst of hl3 anti-impertallstic argument, at 10:00 o'clock, he was told that he must close at once to catch his train. Turn ins to the audience Mr. Bryan said: "Were I to consider my

own strength I would close now. but at the end of a week's hard work I am willing to travel a little further for the sake of staying a little longer I am going to stay with you." The audience went Into a tumult that almost equaled the first. He ended his speech at 11:15 o'clock.

Urrnn Given a Fait Ride. NEW YORK, Oct. 'JO.-The railroads did tome very rapid work to get Mr. Bryan to Rochester somewhere near on time, says a special to the Times. On the Delaware, Lackawanna & "Western between Ithaca fcnd Rochester, a speed of sixty-five miles an hour was reached, although the road winds considerably. At one point the train lurched to violently that the sauce bottles and glasses were whirled off the dining tables. CALLS FOR HIS PAPA. Little Son of Murdered Messenger Lane Create a Scene in Court. MARYSVILLE. O., OcL 20. There was a pathetic scene in the courtroom during the Ferrell murder trial this morning. Mrs. Lane, wife of the murdered messenger, was In the courtroom for the first time as a spectator. She had with her her little eighteen-months-old boy, who played about on the floor for a time and then came to her knees and'plteously called for "papa." The cry was repeated ct intervals and the spectators were much moved by the sight. A spiritualist has offered her services in the case, declaring her ability to establish the fact that Terrell's spirit has been Insane for 400 years. The first witness called to-day was Thomas Mullen, a guard, who testified as to the confession. C. D. Kinney, an express messenger. Identified the package ent by Ferrell from Plain City. Coroner Birmingham, of Columbus, J. Q. Converse, John M. Sheldon and R. A. Mylligan testified as to unimportant details. The indications are that the trial will continue until the middle of next week. Harry Taggart, of Columbus, testified regarding the package sent from Plain City by Ferrell, and Mrs. Lane Identified the murdered messenger's shoes. After she passed Ferrell to take the witness chair she looked straight at him, and he turned completely in his chair to escape her eyes. The State then rested its case, reserving the right to recall on Monday and to offer exhibits. The defense insisted that the State be required to positively close and during argument court adjourned until Monday. Juror James Shirk, aged sixty, had a physician summoned at noon, who announced that the Juror had a well-defined case of measles. Two other jurors may be taken with the disease. Jesse Williams, another juror, developed a case of typhoid fever, and, according to the attending physician, is likely to have a long siege, and a mistrial is possible. TO LIFE IMPRISONMENT YOUTSEY'S SENTENCE AS FIXED BY THE GOEDELITE JURY. Motion In Arrest of Judgement to Be Argued In February Election Bill Passed at Frankfort GEORGETOWN, Ky., Oct. 20.-"We, the jury, find this defendant guilty, and fix his punishment at life Imprisonment." This is the verdict by the twelve men who were selected to try Henry E. Youtsey, one of the principals in the murder of William Goebel. When the jury was called this morning, Judge Cantrill asked: "Gentlemen, have you found a verdict." The foreman, R. M. McCabe, nodded his head. "Pass up the papers to the clerk," said the Judge. The sheriff passed them up, and the clerk read the following: "We, the Jury, find the defendant guilty, and fix his punishment at confinement in the penitentiary for life." "Gentlemen, Is that your verdict," asked the judge. "It is," was the reply. "Gentlemen you are now finally discharged, and you can call on the trustees of the jury fund for your pay," said the judge to the Jury. The jury walked out and the trial was at an end. It was learned from one of the Jurymen that no ballot was taken last night, though it was practically agreed that a verdict of guilty would be found. This morning tho vote was unanimous that ho was guilty; then the degree of punishment was fixed, but on this the Jury was divided, but finally agreed on, the life sentence. The defense filed a motion for an arrest of judgment, and Judge Cantrill set the motion for hearing the second day of the February term, and therefore Youtsey will not be sentenced till next year, if then. On the judge's own motion ho entered an order to have Youtsey moved to the Frankfort jail for Safekeeping. Judge Cantrill says the time of Youtsey's removal to Frankfort Jail will be left to the discretion of the sheriff and physicians. The thcriff says Youtsey may not be removed till the middle of next week. Worse Thun the Inqnlsttion. Sr-ecial to the Indianapolis Journal. PORTLAND, Ind., Oct. 2Q.-The verdict In the Youtsey case was communicated to Charles II. Finley, also under indictment In Kentucky, but now editing the Rough Rider in this city, Immediately on Its receipt. Mr. Finley had not heard the news, and when told of it was asked his opinion. In reply he said: "Since hearing this I have conceived more respect for the Spanish Inquisition. The transactions of that court are all the more appalling because they take place in the close of the nineteenth century instead of in the middle ages." ELECTION BILL PASSED. Beckham I Expected to Sign the Measure on Monday. FRANKFORT, Ky., Oct. 20. The two houses of the Legislature this afternoon passed the nonpartisan election law agreed on by the conference committee and It will go to Governor Beckham Monday. There is no doubt that he will sign it. The Democrats of tho ifouse this morning held a caucus and indorsed it as a party measure. The vote In the caucus was close, but when it was put on Its passage in the House It received a unanimous vote. In the Senate four Democratic senators voted against !t, and Senator Dye, Republican, in explaining Ms vote said he did not approve the measure, but thought it an improvement over the Goebel law. Following out the nonpartisan spirit of the new law, the speaker called a Joint session of the two houses Monday, for the purpose of filling a vacancy on the State Election Commission. The House adopted a resolution that the Republicans be allowed to name the commissioner, and they will present the name of Judge A. M. Cochran, of Maysvillc, who will be unanimously elected. The new election law does not contain any emergency clause and . will not go into effect for ninety days. The Legislature will adjourn sine die Monday. Bnrones Von Ketteler En Route East. ST.

The baroness left over the Milwaukee road, for her father's home in Detroit. Che is accompanied by her brother, IL. B. Lcdyard end tia Tvife.

STAYED BY WILHELM

!VO INTERVENTION IX BEHALF OF SOUTH AFRICAN REPUBLICS. The Kaiser Says He Believes It Is to Germany's Interest for llrltain to Own Boer Territory. KBUGER EN ROUTE TO EUROPE HAS SAILED FROM LOLREXZO MARQUES OX A DUTCH CItUIS EU. Queen Wilhelmina and Her Betrothed Congratulated by the People of The Netherlands. LONDON, Oct. 20. "I believe," said Emperor William recently, "that It Is to Germany's advantage for England to have the Boer republics." To complete the accuracy of this Important quotation, which gained strength from the fact that it was not said with any idea of repetition or for the sake of mollifying some British diplomat, It is reliably vouched for. The remark was made in the course of a conversation between the Emperor and one of the leading Germans, whose advice in matters of commercial policy his Majesty, greatly relies on, and who, by the way, Is not a lover of Great Britain and her works. Through a recent visit of this individual to England the Associated Press secured knowledge of what may be fairly described as the Emperor's candid opinion of the South African matter. For several days the English and continental papers have contained hints, and even assertions that Russia. France and Germany are contemplating joint action with the idea of coercing Great Britain into granting at least a degree of independence to the Boers. Several correspondents have adduced the most circumstantial details to prove the existence of this undercurrent of projected diplomacy, and while the English public has grown inured to intervention rumors, this latest revival secured no small degree of credence and even affected the markets. Whether Russia and France ever contemplated such action Is not known, but the circumstances under which Emperor William spoke effectually ajid definitely disposes of all possibility of any European intervention, for it is acknowledged on all sides that Russia and France would not act without Germany. There is even further significance in his Majesty's pronouncement, for, since he made the statement referred to, his interviewer has conferred with the Boer delegates. This occurred only a few days ago, and It can be inferred that Dr. Leyds, the diplomatic agent of the Transvaal, was informed that it would be hopeless to expect any aid from Emperor William toward the intervention campaign planned to synchronize with Mr. Kruger's arrival in Europe. The British Foreign Office professes' ignorance of any secret intentions on the part of the continental powers in regard to u settlement of the trouble in South Africa, and Indeed appears genuinely to disbelieve the possibility of any such thing happening. How it would meet such an eventuality, however, can be Judged from an expression used by an official who is regarded as being more In Lord Salisbury's confidence than any other man, and who said to a representative of the Associated Press: "Vhat? Interference mooted again? Why, we would fight all Europe first." To what extent Great Britain may be indebted to Emperor William for rendering such a serious alternative unnecessary can only be surmised, but It is not doubted here that the anti-British feeling among the people of Franco and Russia dally gains virulence, and that it is not likely to be decreased by the presence of ex-President Kruger in Europe. The Associated Press further learns his Majesty's conviction that it would be to Germany's advantage to have the British control the Boer republics, apparently not from any idea of gaining counter concessions or from a general policy of friendship, but from a distinct idea that Germany's commerce would be Immensely benefited thereby and that tue adjacent German territory would be Improved, because he implicitly trusts that the German manufacturers and German shipping Interests can cut the ground from under their British .rivals, even in the hitter's own territory. Tho elections are over and Parliament is prorogued for a month, so the condition of affairs in Ireland is engrossing the attention of leading Englishmen. The gravity of the Irish situation has been pointed out in these dispatches, but only now is England waking up . to a realization of the fact that the next few years promise to be among the most stormy which have ever marked the history of Ireland. Mr. Michael Davltt has prepared and circulated for. the signatures of Nationalists an address to former President Kruger, expressing admiration and sympathy for the latter and referring to England as an "oppressor," to the war as "wicked and dishonest," and saying: "Seldom In history has such a noble stand been made for political liberty by a small band of free men against an overwhelming hordi of mercernaries in the pay of those who coveted their land and gold and hated their independence. The names of the mountains and plains of your Republic will take a place in history beside Marathon, Sempach and Bunker Hill as incentives In the strivings for human liberty." Commenting on this, the Dublin Independent, which represents the Hcaly section, suggests that the freedom of Dublin be conferred on ex-President Kruger, while the guardians of the North Dublin Union have sent an address to the Queen of Holland thanking her for sheltering Mr. Kruger and regretting the Boers had come under the heel of a nation "remarkable for its cruelty, covetousness and rapacity." Commenting on these utterances, even the Liberal Chronicle admits It is quite impossible for any alliance to exist between the Liberal and Nationalist parties. Holler Tells n Story. DURBAN, Natal, Oct. 20. General Duller, speaking before an assemblage of his admirers here to-day said: "In 1881 I met Mr. Kruger at O'Neill's farm, near New Castle. He said: 'General, 'we don't like this peace. "I replied: 'Neither do I, because we have got nothing to stand on. You think you have beaten us, but we know we can beat you.' "Mr. Kruger rejoined: Well. General. I have seen that when two dogs fight and f.re separated they are never right until they have fought it out.' "We have fought it out and have come out on top. We shall be good friends, because the top dog never takes advantage of the position." Kruger Starts for Holland. LOURENZO MARQUES, Oct. 20.-The Dutch cruiser Gelderland, with President Kruger on board, sailed at noon. She will call at Dar-as-Salaam. Tanga, Jlbutll and Marseilles. AMERICAN CAPITAL ABROAD. Yankee Gold May Be Used In Constructing long Canal. LONDON, Oct. 2u. The latest and most important project on foot In England, so the Associated Pivs3 learns, is the construction of a canal from Southampton to London. The surmise as to the far-reaching consequences such a step would entail is scarcely less interesting than the fact that If it Is accomplished It is likely to be through the Instrumentality of American capital. Coming on top of London's adoption of the American transit systems and the utilization of American money and brains, this latest project may well be said to cap the climax. No word of the new scheme has yet been mentioned in the papers, and few people know of its existence. Nevertheless, the route from Coutharaptoa to London has been carefully surveyed ty competent engineers, who declare ths czzzl la cot only fearltle, tut

that it could be built at a comparatively small expense. The whole matter has Just been put in the hands of the same firm of contractors which is handling Charles T. Yerkes's new London railroad, although tho Chicago millionaire himself is not known to be taking an active part in it at present. Indeed, the legal and other difficulties which it is necessary to overcome before the construction of the canal is assured, are so great that some time must elapse before the financial part of the matter comes up prominently. The opposition encountered by the promoters of the Manchester and Liverpool ship canal, in Parliament and elsewhere, would probably be as nothing to the jealous efforts of other cities In the same direction In this case, for since the American line of steamers made Southampton its port of call Southampton has so improved itself and has so affected the trade of other ports that it is already regarded with a jealous eye. What commercial revolutions will ensuo from a ship canal enabling transatlantic and other liners to land their passengers in the heart of London many hours earlier than by any other route can easily be Judged by the growing popularity of the smaller steamship lines now sailing direct to and from London by the slow and difficult way of the Thames. The fact that American capital is now largely employed In an electrical underground scheme In London has at last stimulated the British owners of District railway stock to buy up those stocks in the belief that an electrical installation must speedily replace the present steam and smoke which make traveling on the old underground railroad such a noxious experience for all foreigners. Murray Griffiths, who is probably the largest owner of District stock, had a conference with Mr. Yerkes's representative in London Friday, but they have both denied that there is any expectation of a necessity that Mr. Yerkes interest himself in this new enterprise. Mr. Griffiths, whose buying sent up the stock 10 points, informed a representative of the Associated Press that he believed an electric installation could be successfully accomplished if the directors could only be brought to realize the necessity of keeping up with the times. AVILHBLMIXA AND HER BEAU. Queen of Holland Presents Her Future Hunlmnd to Her People. THE HAGUE. Oct. 20. Queen "Wtlhelmina and her betrothed, Duke Henry of Mechlenberg-Schwerin, accompanied by the Queen's mother, arrived here this morning and were enthusiastically welcomed. The future consort of the Queen was presented to the authorities assembled at the. railroad station. The rojal party then drove to the palace, where crowds sang the national anthem. Later the members of the diplomatic corps arrived at the palace and were Introduced to the duke. The following telegram of congratulation was received by the duke from Emperor William of Germany: "The task you have taken upon yourself Is arduous, but by the side of the Orange Princess, who discharges her high duties with steadfastness and clear Insight, you will, with God's help, succeed in giving happiness to the sturdy people of the Netherlands. My thoughts and best wishes attend you and the dear Queen." At a. court dinner to-night the Queen mother proposed a toast to the Queen and her betrothed. She dwelt upon the importance to the country of the alliance. The Queen and Duke Henry, upon returning to Loo, were given an enthusiastic reception. MASSACRES IN ARMENIA. MtiSHTilmnns Permitted to Rob nnd Kill Clirlntlans as They Please. PARIS, Octl 20. A special dispatch from Constantinople to the Fetit Bleu says new and frightful massacres of Armenians have just occurred in the district of Diarbeklr. The Mussulmans, it is asserted, pillaged, outraged and killed during five days without the intervention of Turkish troops. Eight villages. It is added, were entirely destroyed and burned. European Population of the World. LONDON, Oct. 20. One of the most notable speeches of the week was delivered by Sir Robert Giffenthe noted statistician and former president of the Statistical Society, before the Manchester Statistical Society, upon the European population of the world. He declared the growth of the United States compelled her recognition as the powerful 5tate In the world so far as population and resources were concerned. He pointed out that the United States really had a greater European population than any European state, for Great Britain's strength might be considered to be diminished rather than Increased by the possession of large territories, while the units of the Russian population were so Inferior that th-3 pre-eminence of the United States is not questioned. According to Sir Robert there are now only four great world powers, the United States, Great Britain, Russia and Germany, with France a doubtful fifth. He expressed the belief that the yellow" people would vanish, as the yellow races were rapidly being outnumbered by the European, which.

"Hoolfffnnfsm" In London. LONDON, Oct. 20. Though the representations to the effect that the plague had broken out In London are incorrect, another species cf'scourge is rife. - This Is "Hooliganism," which is considered by some persons to be more fatal, as proved in' Glasgow, and which is holding high carnival in the poorer districts of London. Hold-ups. assaults and murders, committed chiefly by youthful onTenders, are of frequent occurrence. The Spectator suggests as a remedy that all murderers should bo hanged, regardless of tender years. The Lancet advocates Hogging. The authorities setm powerless to stem -A'hat is undoubtedly one of the worst outbreaks of rullianism London has ever seen. JACKSON AN IMPERIALIST. Cry Was Rnised Atrnliiftt Democracy' Pntron Saint in 1832. Chicago Times-Herald. The Republican national committee has discovered a poster of the campaign of arraigning Andrew Jackson as an. imperialist. The committee has reprinted the bill in fac simile and 13 sending 100,000 copies broadcast through the. land. An explanatory note at the top begins; "The cry of Imperialism is not new." In the campaign of 1S32 Jackson was lampooned under the title of "King Andrew the First." His political opponents pretended to believe that his re-election was a menace to free government and the liberties of the people. They carientured him in the trappings of royalty. They pictured him in the act of trampling the federal Constitution and the charter of the Bank of the United States under hl3 feet. The poster unearthed by the Republicans was found among the forgotten relics of the Smithsonian Institution at Washington. It bears at Its top a largo engraving of President Jackson in kingly robes nnd crown. Under the picture is the title "King Andrew the First" and above it is the sarcastic sentence, "Born to command." At the sides are the lines. "Had I been consulted" and "Of veto memory." Below the cartoon Is the following indictment In big black type: : KINO : : ANDREW : The First. : : "Born to Command." : : A king who, possessing as much i : power as his gracious brother Wil- : : liara IV, makes a worse use of it. : : . A king who has placed himself : : above the laws, as he has shown by : : his contempt of our Judges. : : A king who would destroy our : v-currency and substitute old rags, : : payable by no one knows who and : : no one knows where instead of : : good silver dollars. : : A king born to command, as he : : has shown himself by appointing : : men to office contrary to the will of : : the people. : : A king who while he was feeding : : his favorites out of the public : : money denied a pittance to the old : : soldiers who fought and bled for : : our independence. : : A king whose prime minister and : : heir apparent was thought unfit for : : the office of ambassador by the : : people. ' : : Shall He Reign Over us or Shall : : the People Rule? : Republicans are much pleased with this evidence that Jackson, the patron saint cf the Democracy, had to face charges of imperialism. They point out that he squelched the nulllfiers of South Carolina "without the consent of the governed" and that he vetoed the charter of the national bank in the face of popular opinion, and they are glad to be able to show that the cry of imperialism has not succeeded as a bugaboo in the past.

It is very curious to see a native company marching from places to place, especially In the southern corp., to which the wort convicts are sent on the principle of getting them as far away an possible. There are about twice the usual number of officers, and they form a guard at each side of the line ready to t-hoot down any private who make a break for liberty, in each command there are perhaps a dozen troopers wno can be relied upon, and as a rule they compose the lat squad, where they can keep an eye on their comrades. The barracks in all pr ison towns are surrounded by a high I ic wall surmounted with broken glass exactly like tl'e wall of a prison, and no soldi r Ir ever allowed out of eight of an ofneer. Nevertheless there are numerous escaie.. and the annual report of men who are phot while trying to get away Is something astounding to one who doesn't understand the system. It is absurd to fuppose that any reiianee can t placed upon Fiich troops In time of trouble, and how they would act in a revolution Is entirely problematic. The officers are at present of rathtr a superior class. They come mainly from the National Military College, and the older element, which was notoriously inefficient, is being rapidly weeded out.
