Ilia Remark and Those of the Other Speaker Were "Well Received Points Covered Representative Jesse Overstreet addressed a large audience of Republicans In the reading room at HaughvUle last night. John L. Ketcham, of the Brown-Ketcham Iron works, presided, and made a short speech, and brief addresses were also made by James A. Collins and Frederick E. MatBon, the latter a candidate for state senator. The reading room was crowded, and many people who were unable to lind seats stood up rather than leave. The audience was composed chiefly of men from the different chops In Haughvllle and vicinity. Prior to the speaking there was music by the Marlon Glee Club. James A. Collin"? made a short but eloquent speech, in which he had something to say about Frank B. Burke, Mr. Overstreefs opponent. He spoke of Mr. Burke's remark about the American flag, "We take off o ir fcat to no flag," and said: "If that is to bo the Issue In this campaign we will show Mr. Burke where the Seventh district stands." John L. Ketcham, in Introducing M. Overstreet, paid him some handsome compliments, which were applauded by the audience. Mr. Overstreet, in his opening remarks, said some very nice things about Mr. Ketcham. which were also applauded. Mr. Overstreet made a speech in which he covered all of the Issues of the campaign In a thorough way. He talked of prosperity, trusts and imperialism, effectually answering the arguments that Democratic orators have made before Haughvllie audiences. One of the striking features of his talk ertained to a conversation he had tome time ago with the manager of the Alls machine works of Milwaukee. This is one of the largest establishments in the country. The manager told Mr. Overstreet that In lSDti they were employing about L2U0 men. At the time of the conversation the establishment was employing 2.50) men. The manager also told Mr. Overstreet that they had plans urawn for improvements that would cost a great deal of money, and they pro:x)sed to go mi with these improvements In the event of McKinley reelection. Mr. Overstreet related this story as an illustration of what the administration of President McKinley has done for the country. Frederick E. Matson closed the meeting In a m Irring talk. He made a hit by telling the audience of yome observations recently made by Colonel Clark, of the Rough Rider. Colonel Clark asked Mr. Matson one day why a Populist was like u frog. When Matson gave it up Clark said: "liecause he has a green back, a silver belly, and you never know which way he's going to Jump." Held n Ximn Meeting.

FORCE OF ABOUT lOO AMERICANS ATTACKS l,40O FILIPINO BANDITS. Lntter Are Found In Strong Position mid the II rave Amsnllnntn Are Finally Forced to Retreat. LOSS OF BEBELS ABOUT 150 FIVE AMERICANS ARE SLAIN AND NINE OTHERS ARE WOUNDED. Fonr Men and Twenty-Nine Horse Missing LIent. G. E. Fehler, n Volnntcer Ofllcer, Among the Slain. WASHINGTON, Oct. 2C.-The War Department to-day received a dispatch from General MacArthur, at Manila, giving an account of a fight, in which a small detachment of the American troops attacked a much superior force of Filipinos. The dispatch follows: 1 "First Lieutenant Febiger, forty men. Company II, Thirty-third Regiment United Slates Infantry Volunteers; Second Lieutenant Grayson V. Heidt, sixty men. Troop L, Third Cavalry, attacked insurgents 140 miles east of Tarvlcan, Ilocos province, Luzon, and developed a strong position occupied by about 400 riflemen. 1,000 Bolomen, under command of Juan Villamor, subordinate of Timos. A desperate fight ensued, which was most creditable to the force engaged, though under heavy pressure and overwhelming opposition, our troops were compelled to retire to Navarican. which was accomplished orderly. Acting Surgeon Bath and civilian teamster, captured early in the right, were released by Villamor. According to their accounts insurgents were much stronger than reported here and their loss, moderate estimate, was over 150. Our loss: "Killed First Lieutenant George L. FeblKCt, Charles A. Lindenberg, William F. Wilson, Company II, Thirty-third Regiment United States Volunteer Infantry; Andrew T. Johnson, farrier; Guy L. McClinton, Company L, Third Regiment United States Cavalry. "Wounded Company II. Thirty-third Volunteer Infantry, Floyd W. McPherson, hip, slight; John W. Grace, face, slight; Floyd H. Heard, check, slight; Harry S. Johnson, knee, serious; Troop K, Third United States Cavalry, Corporal Adam R. Wachs, arm, slight; Alfred Downer, lip, head, slight: Charles W. Martin, thigh, slight; Oscar O. Brassford, foot, slight; William E. Hunder, leg below knee, slight. "Missing Company H. Thirty-third Regiment, John B. Boyd, Samuel I. Harris; Troop L. Third Cavalry, Samuel L. Davis, Terd Schcwd. Twenty-nine horses missing; some known killed." Lieutenant George E. Febiger was one of the youngest officers of the army, being in his twenty-fourth year. He was a native of New Orleans, and served as first lieutenant and afterward captain of the Ninth Volunteer Infantry during the Spanish war. In the following July he was appointed second lieutenant in the Thirtythird Volunteer Infantry and because of bis military proficiency he was promoted to a first lieutenancy Aug. 21. iSP'J, and accompanied his regiment to the Philippines in the following month. IN NEW JERSEY. (CONCLUDED FROM FIRST PAGE.) himself to the effect that he made charges for his campaign speeches. On this subject he said: "According to the Republicans my farm is not my only source of income. They say that 1 am so avaricious that when I am a candidate for President I will not make a speech unless I am paid several hundred dollars. They also say that I am so ambitious that I would spend all I have to bo President. It Is hard to reconcile the two stories. I need not tell you that I receive no money for campaign speeches. If the people of a community pay any money when I have a meeting it is to meet the expenses of that meeting. In some cases the people have paid the expense of the train on which I travel as it goes from town to town, if any Republican complains of that, you tell him that a man who rides on a train must either get a pass over the railroad or pay his fare, and I would rather the people would pay for the train and leave me independent than have the railroad furnish it and then own me after the election." STANDARD OIL COMPANY SCORE'D. Mr. Bryan dwelt at some length in his Dover speech on the trust question, and In referring to the Standard Oil Company said that that company Is, through its power as a monopoly, extorting enough money from the people at large to pay annually dividends amounting to $50,000,000 upon an original capital of $100,000.000. Mr. Bryan referred to the fact that Dover had supplied a company of volunteers for the Cuban war, ind said in this connection: "I had never learned to love the volunteer before I learned to love him when I came in contact with him in the Spanish war. 1 believe that this Nation can rest upon the volunteers. I found down in Florida a regiment from this State. I got acquainted with the New Jersey boys at that time, and I believe you had a company from this town. I remember them because whenever I went into their camp they Joined in three cheers." Mr. Bryan spoke on general lines at Boonton, and his speech was well received. Mr. Bryans Paterson meeting was in some respects the most notable of the day, and .the street exhibition was exceptional. He was conducted from the railroad station to the courthouse in an open carriage, and received an ovation from one end of the route to the other. The crowd In the street was very enthusiastic, and when the speaking took place Mr. Bryan encountered a very ocean ot human beings. The speech at Paterson touched upon the general issues of the campaign, and was frequently applauded as lt progressed. He talked on the trust question. In his discussion Mr. Bryan said: "You cannot afford to take away from the man who toils the prospect of promotion due to his own merit. When you have a monopoly there is no necessity for making the best article at the lowest price, and when you have a monopoly you will lind you will get inferior goods at a higher price. You will retard the advancement that has marked the progress of the Industries of this country. I am not willing that such a system shall stand, and therefore I will promise, and do promise, that if intiusted with the office of chief executive of the Nation every power that the President can command will be used to make It Impossible for a private monopoly to live in the United States." A speech of three minutes was scheduled for Belleville, between Paterson and Newark, and a large number of people were congregated at the railroad station. The train, however, only stopped long enough to iermit the crowd to look at the candidate. THE NEWARK MEETINGS. Mr. Bryan arrived in Newark a few minutes past 7 o'clock, and here the scenes which were witnessed In Jersey City last night were repeated on a somewhat smaller scale. The streets were thronged with people and the pathway of the Democratic standard bearer was illuminated with Greek tire. He was first driven to the residence of former United States Senator James Smith, where he took dinner, in front of the Smith mansion a vast multitude of people were assembled, and they cheered heartily when Mr. Bryan and his escort of committeemen and marching clubs arrived at that point. The speeches In this city were made at Roseville Park, the Kruger Auditorium and the baseball grounds, the principal address being that at the auditorium. The meeting were all largely attended, and that Mr. Rryan'a admirers were In "the saddle" was amply attested by the applause which greeted" him at every turn. The scene when Mr. Bryan entered the Kruger Auditorium at Newark was a thrilllug one. The big building was crowded :o It utmost cm parity and when the candidate entered all those present began a tumultuous shout. All carried small flags and

waved them vigorously. They did not cease this demonstration until Mr. Bryan arose and raised his hand as a token that he desired to proceed. Then, as If by magic, the tumult ceased and all listened In the utmost silence, except for occasional bursts o hearty applause. Beginning by saying that he was not seeking personal aggrandizement. Mr. Bryan said: "I have never asked any one to vote for me as a personal favor. I have too high opinion of the right of citizenship and of the responsibility of the voter to expect that any one will use that vote merely to gratify any man's ambition or to pleases any one. When, in 1S9, many who had been with us in previous campaigns, left tho Democratic party and went over to the Republican party, or stopped half way, I did not find fault, for I believed the great majority of those who left us then left because they honestly believed that my election would be Injurious to the country. I believed that they were wrong, but they believed that they were right and they had to be guided by their judgment, not by mine. Jf I could witness the departure of those who had been with us without criticism, I could welcome them back without censure." Dealing with the necessity for suppressing private monopolies. Mr. Bryan repeated that his desire was to protect future generations, saying: "Some one has said there tire not many generations between shirtsleeves and shirtsleeves. My own father had to work his way upon the farm and educate himself by his own labor. I was educated by my father's money. I think I shall be able to educate my son. but I cannot tell about my children's children, and I am not willing to have a government good only for bankers, or good only for trust magnates. I want a government that will place a hope in every heart a-nd make life worth living for every citizen born into the world." Speaking of the size of the. army Mr. Bryan said that the Republican position on that subject could not be defined. He asserted that the chairman of the congressional committee who had forced through the House of Representatives the army bill was at the time president of the Philippine Lumber and Investment Company and that company, Mr. Bryan said, was advertising cheap Chinese labor as an inducement to subscribe for Its stock. Mr. Bryan closed hiü auditorium speech with an appeal for fair treatment for the Filipinos. When he finished on the inside of the building he found on. the outside a crowd ten times as big as had listened to him within the building. He was compelled to make a speech there and after that effort he proceeded to baseball park, where he made the last address of the night, closing shortly before midnight. TO-NIGHT'S DEMONSTRATION.

Arrangement for Meetings nt Which Bryan Will Re the Attraction. - NEW YORK, Oct. "20. All arrangements are now perfected for the reception to be tendered to W. J. Bryan by the National Association of Democratic Clubs to-morrow night. All the Democratic clubs In the city, as well as a number from Connecticut, will take part in the demonstration. Meetings in the evening are to be held at Cooper Union, the Broadway Athletic Club and Madison-square Garden. Before the speaking begins Mr. Bryan and his party will witness a special display of fireworks which will be given in Madison square. In this square havo been erected eight different stands from which meetings will be addressed simultaneously, while on the cross streets a number of speakers will address the crowds from trucks placed there for that purpose. The Madison-square Garden meeting will begin at 7:10 o'clock with speeches by D. B. Hill. Bourke Cockran, Senator Wellington and Anson Phelps Stokes, while in the meantime Mr. Bryan will be driven through the lines of Democratic clubs to the Broadway Athletic Club, Cooper Union and Madison-square Garden. All along thl.v route meetings to the number of seven y-tive will be In progress, and Mr. Bryan x scheduled to speak from his carriage at twenty of these meetings. His Madison-square Garden speech will occupy about an hour and twenty minutes, and the Democratic candidate expects to reach his hotel before midnight. William J. Bryan arrived at the Hoffman House at 12:20 this (Saturday) morning. He was In excellent condition and retired immediately. RIOT NEAR SHAM0KIN MINERS STONED BY A MOD OF ANGRY MEN, W03IEN AND CHILDREN. Strikers Led by Fonr Women CarryIng the Stars and Stripes Preparation for Resuming Work. SHAMOKIN, Ta., Oct. 26. Fifteen hundred angry men, women and children assembled near the Cameron colliery to-night, and as the nonunion workmen left for home they were assailed by volleys of cobblestones. Although every one of the workmen had been sworn in as special policemen and were armed, they did not shoot Into the mob, which was led by four women carrying American flag3. In escorting Paul Kllnger, the breaker boss, from the mine, his brother. Constable Joseph Kllnger, fired one shot at a crowd on a bridge because they hurled rocks at the pair as they traversed a railroad. Following the shot part of the mob chased the brothers into the city limits. Miles Dougherty, an officer of the local miners organization, hearing of the riotous demonstration, hurried to the scene, and in a brief address persuaded the mob to disperse. Brenker Boy to Honor 3IItchell. SCRANTON, Pa.. . Oct. 26.-President Thorne, of the Pennsylvania Coal Company, will come here to-morrow to confer with the local officials about putting up the 10 per cent, notices, and it is expected that the company will have fallen Into line before to-morrow night. This will make all the mines In the Lackawanna region free to work on Monday. A demonstration will be given here' tomorrow night by the breaker boys in honor of President Mitchell. They will present him with a gold badge, emblematic of his efforts to get them out of the breakers and into the schools. The mines are being got into shape to start up Monday morning. To Resume on Monday. WILKESBARRE, Ta., Oct. 26. The big coal companies of the Wyoming valley are making preparations to resume work oi Monday. The mules that have been in pasture for the last month or so wcre taken down into the mines to-day. The individual operators are also getting things in shape for work again, although as yet they have not posted notices of the 10 per cent, increase in wages. It 13 the impression in Plttston that the Pennsylvania Coal Company will fall in line with the other companies on Monday. The Susquehanna Company, at Nanticoke, has made no move as yet, and Its 3,000 employes are more or less anxious as to what tho outcome will be. NOVEL POINT DECIDED. Woman Physically Wenker Than Man, and Wife, Therefore, Died PI rat. LEBANON, 111.. Oct. 26. A novel point has been decided In a St. Clair county case. David S. Sage and wife were killed in a terrible storm that swept over the county four years ago. Their bodies were found lying side by side. They had ono daughter, the only lineal heir. In a suit for settlement of the estate the question arose as to which had died, first. If Sage, then his wife's relations would le entitled to her award, consisting of dower and homestead. If his wife died first, then her relatives would be entitled to nothing, but the whole estate, amounting to about HO.Ooo, would fall to Miss Mabel Sage, the daughter. There was no way of proving which had riled first, anil the court held that .since woman, physically. Is weaker than man Mrs. Snse must have died first, and upon this hypothesis awarded the estate to the daughter. For n Cold in the Ilend Laxativ Bromo-Qulnine Tablets.

PRINCES IS DISCRACE

FOREIGN-HATING CHINESE TAKING THEIR OWN" LIVES. Prefer to Face Uenth In Their Own Wny Ilnther Than Accept Punishment from the Allies. KANG KI REHOVES HIMSELF AND YÜ IISIEX COMMITS SUICIDE WITH GOLD LEAF, Prince Tnnn Expected to Follow the Others and Relieve the Powers cf a Disagreeable Jon. WASHINGTON, Oct. 23. The Chinese minister has received a dispatch stating that Kang Kl, a member of the Cabinet with Yung Lu, and one of the intense antiforeign leaders, whose punishment was demanded by the powers, died of illness on the ISth inst.; also that Yu Hsien, the late Governor of Shan-SI. who is said to have been responsible for the death of many missionaries, has committed suicide by swallowing gold leaf. Minister Wu regards this act as the result of the disfavor which the high officials have received from the throne. The death of Kang Kl is an important event, as he was one of the ringleaders whose punishment was demanded by the powers. He held the position of assistant grand secretary and president of the civil board, and also was one of the six Chinese statesmen making up the Private Council, or Cabinet, which is the body nearest the throne. Following the demands of the powers for his punishment an edict was issued handing him over to the board of censors to consult and decide on a penalty for his misdoing. The same edict ordered the punishment of Prince Tuan, but it was thought that the Tuan Influence would secure leniency for Kang Kl and others. Today's dispatch, however, shows that Kang Kl himself realized tnat there was no hope of imperial favor. Although the dispatch to-day to Minister Wu stated that Kang Kl only died on the lth inst., it is believed that his "death" is due to the disgrace which has overtaken the anti-foreign element. , Prince Yu's suicide by swallowing goldleaf -is peculiar to China. It is a means by which high personages take their lives, the goldleaf being representative of their high station. The leaf forms a ball in the canal of the body and brings death from suffocation. Minister Wu's advices to-day also show that Prince Tuan has been visited with severe censure from the throne, and to such an extent that It would be no surprise if he followed the course of Kang Kl and Yu. He has been prevented from accompanying the imperial court to Siang-Su and remains at Shan-Si cut off from further influence on the throne, lt Is expected that he will be banished, which to a prince of the blood is worse than decapitation, and under the Chinese idea of propriety suicide is likely to be his end. Minister Wu laid his dispatches before Secretary Hay. , In diplomatic quarters there is felt to be some significance in the fact that France, Russia and Japan, as well as the United States, have not jet accepted the invitation to accept the principles of the AngloGerman alliance. It is understood that this nonaction of the powers is not due to any concerted movement among them, although each appears to be halting on the third clause. A diplomatic official said to-day that on mature consideration of this third clause It was seen to Involve two constructions; first, that if any power toolt territory in China as a result of the present trouble, then Germany and Great Britain also would take territory, or, second, that if any country took territory in China, Germany and Great Britain would seek to prevent this action, or otherwise jointly act against the country seeking to extend its domains. Either construction, it was pointed out, was such that the powers not party to the agreement could not be expected to bind themselves to its acceptance. Under these circumstances it was said that the powers probably would seek to learn Russia's views on the third clause, as Russian approval undoubtedly would remove the idea that there Is any possible menace intended. But it is recognized among diplomatic officials that it would be extremely difficult to secure an expression from Russia on this point, as an unfavorable rejoinder, which she might be expected to give, would amount to a declaration that she had some territorial designs on Manchuria and a refusal to answer would be similarly open to such construction. The impression is growing among the representatives of these powers that the present nonaction will continue for some time and that the agreement will be confined to Great Britain and Germany, at least until there is a fuller understanding of the third clause than either of these governments has given thus far. Guerrilla Worryln RuMslana. ST. PETERSBURG, Oct. 26.-The remnants of the Chinese troops in the wide spaces of country around Mukden, official dispatches say, are broken up Into guerrilla bands which are plundering villages and farms. Three explosions ,which occurred at Mukden Oct. 10, whereby twenty-six Russians were wounded, were deliberately carried out by Chinese while the Russians were engaged in destroying the contents of a powder magazine. Forty miners were dug out of a railway embankment by the Russians. Miscellaneous Notes. Emperor Nicholas, says the St. Petersburg correspondent of the London Dally Mall, has received a letter from the Chinese Emperor asking him to take conquered Manchurian provinces under Russian protection. Dr. Morrison, the Peking correspondent of the London Times wiring Thursday, refers to the courtesy of the United States legation in providing transport wagons for Sir Claude MacDonald, the retiring British minister, on his retirement from Peking.. With reference to the recent fighting in the German hinterland of Klao-Chou the German Foreign Office has received reports that the attitude of Kwan Shi Kai has not given occasion for complaint lately and that the anti-foreign agitation In the province of Shan-Tung Is not considered quelled. United States Ambassador White, who yesterday resumed his official duties in Berlin, made the following statement in reference to contradictory assertions published In the German press: "There are no differences between the American and German propositions regarding China which cannot be easily adjusted. There is some uncertainty concerning the precise meaning of Paragraph 3 in the Anglo-German agreement, but this will doubtless be satisfactorily explained. This agreement I consider a most Important step toward hastening the solution of the Chinese problem." MAY ESCAPE PAYMENT. Decision That May Relieve Chicago of 91,O0O.OOO Strike Damages. CHICAGO, Oct. 26. Suits against the city fpr damages to railroad property during the strike In 1ST!, in which more than $6.000,0) is involved, were virtually decided In the city's favor to-day by a jury in Judge Hanecy's court. A verdict of not guilty in the case of Armour & Co. against the city of Chicago is interpreted by Corporation Counsel Walker to mean that the litigating companies will not be able to recover damages for the destruction of railroad property during the great strike. Witnesses for the city testified that the burning of the cars and railroad property was not done by a mob, but by individuals, some of whom were employed by the companies. The case Involved less than $1,000, but was looked upon as a test of the city's liability. Amour & Ca claimed the d;7"'',P"" because of the loss of refrigerator, cars la

the yards of the Panhandle Railroad Company. Cases brought against the city by the Panhandle road for rolling stock destroyed in the same fire aggregate $1.000,0)0. The circumstances are the same In the Panhandle and Armour cases. Between forty and fifty cases are pending. In one suit the Pittsburg, Cincinnati. Chicago & St. Louis Railroad claims $750.0uO for cars destroyed in their yards. WIFE FOR TEN DOLLARS.

Queer Story Told hy Oliver Hnstld nnd Supported by n Woman. POUGIIKEEPSIE. N. Y.. Oct. 26.-OHver Husted and Mrs. Theron Sherow, the couple who eloped from Schultiville and were arrested near Holly, Mich., were brought back to Poughkeepsie to-night. They set up a most remarkable defense to the charges of grand larceny and kidnaping, on which they were arrested. Husted says that on Aug. 20 Sherow suggested an exchange of wives, and that he and Mrs. Shorew left for Michigan taking Sherow's three-year-old daughter with them. He says that he heard Mrs. Sherow ask her husband if he wished her to go, and he told her to go and stay. He says he gave the woman $10 to pay to her husband. Husted was sent to Jail, while Mrs. Sherow; was allowed to go home with her husband, out of sympathy for the children. She says that Husted tells the truth. The case will come up in court to-morrow.
