Engineering Company and Its Workmen Congrratnlntetl on Their ProsperityGeneral Political News. ALLIANCE, O., Oct. 29. This city was the scene to-night of one of the biggest political meetings ever held In the old McKinley "district, famous for its big meetings and notable speakers in the past. The meeting to-night embraced the dedication of a mammoth foundry building of the Morgan Engineering Company, one of the chief products, of which Is the disappearing gun carriages used in the coast defenses. Temporary seats were provided for 20,000, and nearly every one was occupied. All the surrounding towns contributed delegations and bands. Canton, the President's home, sending about 4,000 people. A parade more than a mile long preceded the meeting. Stewart L. Woodford, former minister to Spain, was the principal speaker. He spoke chiefly of the war with Spain and its issues. Representative R. W. TayIer,' leader In the contest against Representative Roberts, of Utah, followed Mr. Woodford. A letter from President McKinley was read In the meeting, and was the occasion for a tremendous demonstration, the crowd giving round after round of cheers. The letter follows: "Canton, O., Oct. 20. "My Dear Sir Your favor of recent date Is received, inviting me tc be present at the Republican mass meeting to be held this evening In the new foundry building of the Morgan Engineering Company. I recall that for more than twenty years It was my habit to meet annually the people of Alliance and vicinity in political d,scusslon. Many times in that period I have addressed workingmen in the old shops of the company. With the memories of these former meetings I deeply regret to find that my engagements will prevent me from being present, for It would be a real pleasure to greet my old frlend3 on an occasion like this, which marks the industrial progress of Alliance secured through adherence to the principles of th? Republican party, for the indorsement of which you meet to-night. "This groat addition to' your company's plant Is a happy omen for American labor and a practical demonstration of a prosperous business. Such extensions of industry indicate widening markets and Increasing prosperity, while they insure a larger demand for labor of the working men and additional comforts for their homes. American labor and capital working hand in hand are of mutual advantage, and in friendly co-operation will secure industrial triumphs as yet unknown. I have no sympathy with those teachings which incite envy and hatred among our people and would divide them into hostile camps. "May this great meeting stamp with its disapproval the wicked doctrine of class distinction, which has no place in our free government, and mark a distinct advance in good relations between employer and employed. Permit me to congratulate the Morgan Engineering Company, its great body of workers, and all gathered at this meeting, upon the encouragement which such an assemblage gives to the cause of sound money, ' protection pnd national honor.

SOME ADVICE TO THE BOYS URGED TO APPLY A FOOTBALL MOTTO TO CIVIL LIFE. "Don't Foul, Don't Shlrlr, bnt Hit the Line Ilard," the Governor Said Speech at Cortland. ELMIRA, N. Y., Oct. 23.-For the first time In New York State and In the home of the Democratic candidate for Governor, Theodore Roosevelt was assaulted on the streets of Elmlra to-night on his way to the places of meeting. He was in a carriage with former Senator Fassett, and at several points along the route was pelted with eggs and vegetables, and greeted with the vilest epithets. He sat In dignified silence, while the police looked on quiescently. The Campaign Club from Corning was also assaulted personally, and a- bitter light ensued. In the places of meeting the Governor had no interruptions. After it was. over he said: "It was nasty conduct; the conduct of hoodlums." Six men from Corning were badly hurt, being badly bruised and hurt. "The fight at Victor," said Secretary Loeb, of the Governor's staff, "was not half as bad as that here to-night. At Victor no blood was shed, but here blood flowed quite freely." Elmlra is the home .of John B. Stanchfield, the Democratic candidate for Governor, and It was here Colonel Roosevelt finished the first day of his second weeks campaign in the State. At Ithaca- tho Colonel's reception was one of a most friendly nature, and he paid a compliment to one of the college men, a son of Richard Croker, by refusing to do as he has generally done at ether stops, make a personal attack upon the Tammany leader. In his hour's speech he did not mention the "name of Mr. Croker. At Vannetten he made a short address. 20.000 PEOPLE IN TOWN. His welcome in Elmlra was a great political demonstration. There were nearly a thousand mounted Rough Riders, and the Lyceum and New Tivoli theaters wero crowded with people eager to hear tho Governor speak, and overflow and outdoor meetings were held. Fully 20,000 people were in town. The Governor to-day at all three of his stops, and especially In Elmlra to-night, devoted himself principally to a defense of the national administration. He Faid In part: "I wish to appear not merely to Republicans but to all good citizens to stand for the re-election of President McKinley and the election of Mr. Odell as Governor. 1 call your attention especially to the fact that In the State, as in the Nation, we, unlike our opponent, are a party of performances and not mere promises. Our opponents are apt to talk about the great things they will do on behalf of the workingmen and against trusts and big corporations. We make no impossible proml?es; we take no attitude of indiscrlminatlng vlndictiveness, but what we do promise we do. During the past six years we have put upon the statute books and have enforced better and wider laws in the interest of the wage-worker and for the proper regulation and control of great corporations than our opponents ever put on during the time they had control in Albany. . . . . . . . "When the nistory or tne ciosmg years of the nineteenth century comes to be written. President McKinley's figure will lock larger and larger. No other President since Lincoln; no other President for more than a generation 'preceding Lincoln has had to face such great tasks, or has faced them so well. He came to the presidency as a man on whose behalf much had been promised, and he has made every promise good. We said that if he were elected he would put the economic and financial policies of the government on such a plane as to insure prosperity. This has been done. The gold standard has been maintained, not only Is our credit perfect, but from a borrower we have become a lender nation. We have now the largest accumulation of gold in the treasury that this Nation has ever had. We have passed France and stand as the second nation In the world. A currency act which is good as far as it goes but does not go far enough has been passed. It is not perfect and must be perfected. I wish to point out to you that no legislation can tie the hands of a mischievous administration. We can keep sound money only by resolutely refusing to elect to office any man who is tainted in any way with the heresies of unsound money, of fiat money in any form. M'KINLEY'S TARIFF POLICY. "The tariff policy of the country under President McKinley has worked fully as well. The balance of trade is now enormously In our favor, and the excess of exports has grown so great that tho former nearly doubled the latter. The farmer, the wage worker, the business man, have all prospered to an unexampled degree. This is due to the fact that the policies of the McKinley administration have given the widest possible scope to American enterprise, thrift and business capacity. "At the same time, while thus upholding the interests and good faith of the Nation at home. President McKinley has been forced to face most difficult foreign problems. After exhausting every effort to bring about a peaceable solution of our difficulty with Spain, the most righteous war in modern history was fought to a brilliant and triumphal end under McKinley. Unlike other triumphs, this war left In its train a burden of responsibilities, and these responsibilities he has proceeded with his usual sobriety of spirit, deep appreciation of the tremeudous issues Involved, and resolute purpose to do justice alike to ourselves and the natives of the countries which have come under our care. Our word has been kept to the letter. The Cubans, who are infinitely more advanced than the Filipinos, have been helped along to gtir-ffovernmeni unaer as able and keen sighted an administrator as any government ever sent to do such a task.

"In the Philippines we were brought face to face with an insurrection led by the twice-dyed traitor Aguinaldo. with behind him a syndicate of Inconceivably cruel and inconceivably corrupt half-breed Chinese and Malay bandits. The majority of the inhabitants are only too anxious to have peace and liberty in the only way in which they can possibly get them; that is, under tho American flag. The Insurrection is kept alive mainly by the Bryanlte can vass here." DEMONSTRATION AT ITHACA. The Governor Given an Enthusiastic Reception by Cornellians. ELMIRA, N. Y.4 Oct. 23. Governor Roosevelt arrived here this evening after making several speeches on the way from Einghamton. The Governor left the latter place at 10 o'clock this morning. He was in excellent health, having enjoyed the quiet of yesterday and the relief from speaking. Ills throat was in good con dltlon. considering that he has made 600 speeches since he started through the country. He has not lost flesh with his travel of 19,200 miles, but In fact has gained. The trip for the day was arranged to include a fewer number of speeches than for any day of the State tour, only three stops being scheduled, one at Cort land, where it was arranged the train should stop for an hour; one at Ithaca. where three hours were rpent, and the final stop of the night at Elmlra, When Governor Roosevelt finishes his trip on Saturday next he will have made 650 speeches and have traveled over 20,000 miles, a record equal to the combined rec ord of all other candidates for national office In the past fifty years, exclusive of Mr. Bryan. At Cortland there was a great gathering of people to meet the Governor, and he took for his topic the administration of President McKinley.

Conflict Between Spanish Troops anC Cnrllsts Chief of the Latter Killed A Leader Arrested. LONDON, Oct. 23.-A dispatch received here from Pretoria announces the death from enteric fever of Prince Christian Victor, of Schleswig-Holstein, eldest son of tho Princess Helene of England, and a grandson of Queen Victoria. He was born in 1S67, and was a major in the King's Royal Rifles. The announcement of Prince Christian Victor's death was withheld from the public, by special desire of the Queen and the Prince of Wales, to avoid casting a gloom on the City Imperial Volunteer festivities. The Court Circular, In announcing the death of Prince Christian Victoria, says: "The Queen deeply mourns the loss of so dear a grandson and of a brilliant officer of great promise. She suffers doubly in the grief of his afflicted parents and their family, who were so devote to him. Hie was universally loved and respected. He had taken part In the whole campaign and gone through the greatest hardships and dangers. The Queen and all her family were looking forward to his happy return, when suddenly his life was thus cut short." CAllLISTS PUNISHED. One Killed, Another Wonnded and a Leader Placed Under Arrest. MADRID, 'Oct. 20. A conflict between twenty-four armed Carlists and a detachment of gendarmes occurred yesterday near Badalona. The chief of the Carlists was killed and another roan was wounded. Three Remington rifles were captured. The band retreated in the direction of Moncada, pursued by cavalry and infantry. The Carlist, General Solivar, has been arrested at Barcelona, and a number of other arrests have been made In connection with the uprising at Badalona. It appears that the Radalona band of Carlists, who wore red caps, summoned the gendarmes of Badalona to surrender, but the latter attacked and dispersed them. The aim of the Carlists was to seize the municipal treasury, as on the body of their chief was found a receipt thus worded: "Received from the mayor of Badalona pesetas, which will be refunded when his majesty, King Carlos, occupies the throne of his ancestors."

The Boers lost considerably, and left two guns and three wagons in Knox's hands. Another ammunition wagon was blown up by a shell. The British casualties were nil." Referring to the Jacobsdal affair. Lord Roberts says it was due to the treachery of the inhabitants, who admitted the Boers to their houses at night. Four men were killed and thirteen wounded, mostly Cape Highlanders. Troops despatched from the Modder river drove off the Boers. The houses of the treacherous inhabitants were destroyed. Commandant Bosnian was killed. Lord Roberts calls attention to the "increasing inclination of the better class of Boers to "co-operate with the British to secure peace, since they find that guerrilla warfare is vi-uted with heavy punishment." tnlcap Ambulance Corps.

"3IAFEKING NIGHT OUTDONE IN THE GREAT METROPOLIS. Welcome to City Imperial Volunteers Turned Into a Disgraceful De banch In the Streets. POLICE WERE OVERPOWERED AND ALMOST EVERY KIND OF OUTRAGE C03IMITTED BY ROUGHS. Hundreds of People Were Injured and Sereral Killed During the Day and Night. RECEPTION OF THE TROOPS MESSAGE OF COMMENDATION FR03I II EU GRACIOUS MAJESTY. Special Order Issued by Lord Wolseley Praising the Men for Their Work In South Africa. LONDON, Oct. 29.-The City Imperial Volunteers, who arrived at Southampton from South Africa on Saturday on the British transport Aurania, reached here by train this morning, marched through Lon don, along streets packed by thousands, and received a tumultuous greeting. Such a demostratlon was probably never before evoked for such a small body of volunteers The locomotives which drew the volunteers, train from Southampton were re spectively named "Victoria," "Roberts, "Powerful" and "The Maine." The postponement of London's welcome until to-day diminished tho number of spectators, but the enthusiasm could scarrplv hav been more general or genuine. Early In the day Queen Victoria sent a message to ths returning troops welcoming them and inquiring as to their health. The Prince of Wales came to town and viewed the procession from Marlbor ough house. The other royal personages watching the little bands of men in Khaki uniforms were Princess Louise, the Duchess of Argyle and Prince Edward of Saxe-Welmar, whor with many other dls tlngulshed people, had taken up positions of vantage'early in the morning. The clubs in Piccadilly presented an unusual spec tacle. Hundreds of women were at the windows, these sacred precincts having thrown open their doors in honor of the great occasion. All along the line of march there were festoons of flags and other such devices, presenting a brilliant--spectacle. though, as a matter of fact, the decora tlons had been up since Saturday and had been drenched .with Sunday's rains, which had not Improved the colors. In addition to the City Imperial Volun teers themselves, there were in the procession the bands of the twelve volunteer regiments and 24,000 regulars and volun teers lined the route. Among the most interesting features of the display was the presence In the procession of the invalided CltyImperial Volunteers in carriages fly dng the Red Cross flag, and the assemblage at a conspicuous point in Fleet street ot the remaining survivors of the Balaklava charge. IN NEW UNIFORMS. With the exception that the volunteers were rather browned, there was little in their appearance to Indicate that they were returning from a hard campaign. Their new khaki kits, served out at Southampton, gave the men a disappointingly spick and span look, though the lack of alignment, irregularity of marching, and tho frequent substitution of canes for lost rifles, sufficed to distinguish them from the volunteers fresh from the training camps. A captured Boer flag carried in the center ot the column elicited great enthusiasm, thunderous applause going up as this first real trophy of victory was borne triumphantly through the crowds. A slight drizzling rain which fell as the procession started by no means detracted from the warmth of the welcome extended to the troops. The march was broken by stoppages at the sites of Temple Bar, where tho lord mayor, Sir Alfred Newton, welcomed the return of the regiment he originated; at St. Paul's Cathedral where there was a short thanksgiving service, and at the Guild Hall, for the civic reception. The exuberant throngs proved unmanageable and the police and soldiers were quite unable to stem the ugly rushes. The crush of tho populace became so terrible at the Marble Arch that the people broke through the cordon -and when the field was again cleared forty persons requiring the aid of ambulance surgeons were lying on the ground, several of them suffering from serious injuries. In narrow Fleet street the crowds broke down all the barriers, and sight-seers, soldiers, police and City Imperial Volunteers were mixed up in a confused mass from which the volunteers had to be finally extricated in single file. A fractious cavalry horse stampeded the crowd at Ludgate circus and fifty persons who were injured had to be attended to by the ambulance corps. Along the whole length of Fleet street the scenes could only be likened to a continual football scrimmage, but it was even more exciting. Shrieks and groans filled the air, people were hurled to the ground and trampled upon. Life guards, on horseback, were swept off and lost In tne struggling mass of humanity after Impotent struggles to stem the pressure of the semi-panic stricken mob. Some of the Injuries sustained . were so severe that it is feared they will prove fatal. . Field Marshal Lord Wolseley. commander-in-chief of the forces, issued a special army order this afternoon, expressing the high appreciation which the patriotic services of the City Imperial Volunteers and the gallantry and soldierly qualities of all ranks had afforded him and offered the volunteers In behalf of the British army, a cordial welcome home. THANKS FROM VICTORIA. After an eight hours' march, brokon by a stnnon at Bt.

persons received and addressed them. After the usual loyal toasts. Lord Wolseley, retpondlng for the "Imierial forces." read the following telegram he had received from Queen Victoria: "Please assure the City of London Imperial volunteers that I heartily share in those feelings of joy and thankfulness which have been evinced in the enthusiastic welcome accorded them to-day. Tell them with what pride and satisfaction I have received the unvarying reports of their soldier-like conduct during the dangens and hardships of a trying campaign. "While joining In the hapilnes of the many relatives and friends who celebrate the home-coming of their dear ones, I deeply sympathize with those who look in vain for them who, alas, no longer stand in the ranks of their comrades. I, also, myself, have to grieve over the loss of a dear and most gallant grandson, who, like so many of your companions, has served and died for his Queen and country." After the dinner the members of the corps separated. They had to muffle themselves In their overcoats and use other disguises In order to avoid recognition by the crowds. As it was several were nearly pulled to pieces by the rough embracing and handshakings of drunken men. The list of casualties among the welcoming multitude was longer than that of the whole corps in its twenty-six engagements in South Africa. Partial returns from the hospitals and police stations indicate that more than two hundred were bady hurt, three or four being killed outright. There were 4,000 police and 22,000 troops on duty along the line of march, but they were unable to manage the crowds. Women and girls fainted and were trampled under foot. Stands overloaded with sightseers fell in. Twelve persons out of thirty, who were riding on top of a mail wagon whose wheels gave way. had their bones broktn. A man, who was leaning over the parapet of the roof of a building, lost his balance and fell upon a group of women, killing one an! hurting two others, but walked away himself, apparently uninjured. WILD TIMES IN THE CITY. Many of the soldiers on the line of march were hurt in combats with the crowd. Altogether London had a wild day with much fun, and, unfortunately, a deal of grief in many households because of tho accidents. Indeed, the only surprising feature is that the casualties were not twice as numerous, for, when night fell, the streets of London would have done credit to the commune. It was a scene of unchecked saturnalia that met the eye. Flght(CONT1NUED ON SECOND PAGE.) " ARREST OF ÄLV0RD

GLAD THE SUSPENSE IS OVER SAYS HE WILL NOT MAKE A FIGHT AGAl.tS'f PUNISHMENT. Has Lived at the Rate of $50,000 a Year, and Now Haa None of the $700,000 He Stole. BOSTON, Oct. 29. Cornelius L. Alvord. jr., the absconding note teller of the First National" Bank In New Tork city, who la charged with stealing $700,000 from the bank, was arrested here this afternoon by Chief Inspector William B. Watts, of this city, and Detective Armstrong, of New York, In an ordinary lodging house, at the corner of West Newton street and Burlington avenue. When arrested Alvord, who knew Detective Armstrong, stated that he was glad the suspense was ended, and was willing to go back to New York without papers. He sat down on the bed and smoked a cigar, and was only dressed in his underclothes at the time. He afterward dressed quickly, and, packing a few underclothes in a bag, stated he was ready to go. A hack was called and he was driven to police headquarters and, after being measured and photographed under the BertlHon system, was taken to New York on the 5 o'clock train. Chief Inspector Watts, in an Interview, stated that the department was first Informed that Alvord was in this city last Wednesday morning, when Mr. Henry Alexander, of Denver, Col., telephoned that he had seen Alvord In the Hotel Touralne. He stated that he knew him well, had done business with him in New York, and described him perfectly. This information was wired to Captain McCluskey, of New York, who imediately sent Detective Sergeant Tinker here to identify him. In the meantime Chief Watts and Detectives Douglass and Morrissey went to the hotel, but could not find the man. Inquiry of the hotel people brought out the fact that a man answering the description had registered as Bryan Sterling, and had been assigned a room, but that he had not used it. On the arrival of Detective Tinker a search of all the hotels In the city was made without success.

MAKES

CLAIMS

CHAIRMAN IIERNLY, OF STATE C03L MITTEC, ISSUES ST.tTE31ET. He 5ay Indiana Will Give IllRgrit Republican Majority Known, In Presidential Year TAGGART'S CLAIMS ABSURD HE MADE THE SAME KIND OF PRE DICTIOXS IN YEARS AtJO.XE. Such Talk Is Only a Makrahlft to Bolster Up the Wnverlnir Democratic Cause. ELEVEN HEKBERS OF CONGRESS MR. HERNLY THINKS THE ELECTION OF THAT M UUCH A!SIHEU. The Democrats, However, Will Use Their Boodle Fund In Cloluu; Days of Caiupalcu. WILL ALSO CARRY LEGISLATURE THE REPUBLICAN VICTORY WILL BE A DECIDED üM:. Democrats Will Attempt to Buy Election Boards Politico! News and Gossip. The election occurs one week from to-day. Both great political parües are claiming that they will carry the day for their respective candidates. The Republican managers of the Indiana campaign express themselves as being certain of success. Those who are in touch with the work that is being done over the State declare that the Republican majority will be the greatest ever known in a presidential election. Chairman Hernly. of the Republican State committee, late yesterday evening dictated the following statement, giving the views of the State committee on the situation in Indiana: "There Is nothing in the claim of . the Democrats that they are going to carry Indiana. They have claimed that they would carry Indiana every election since is)4. Mr. Taggart and all of the Democratic managers claimed that Indiana was surely as reliably Democratic In 1S34, and they did the same thing In lSl'o, and they did the samo thing In 1S9S, and even the day after the election In 1SDG the Democrats started the cry that they had carried Indiana and Bryan was elected, and from all these falsa claims made by the Democrats there are many of their friends that are still sore, and can testify as to these false prophecies. CONDITIONS MUCH THE SAME. T am very sure that there Is nothinsT In this claim of Mr. Taggart at this time, or any other Democrat who knows anything about political conditions In the State of Indiana or the country. Conditions In Indiana are much the same as they were in 1SD1, when we had a landslide and elected thirteen congressmen in this State. The laboring men have never had as much work nor received as good pay as they have in the last four years. The farmers have never been more prosperous in the history of Indiana than they have been during tho McKinley administration. They are now selling their corn at CO and 25 cents a bushel, instead of 15 cents a bushel, as the did four years ago, and all farm products have Increased alike, and the farmers raro going to vote for McKinley as they never have before in the history of politics in lhi State of Indiana. This is conceded by everybody who knows anything about politics, or has had anything to do with thj campaign. I believe that we will gain vn an average of ten to the precinct in tho 2,0'X) "agricultural precincts in Indiana. "Tho coal miners throughout the mining districts In Indiana are better satisfy t with their wages than they have ever in en. Four years ago the miners in Indiana were on a strike and were confuted and demoralized on account of the very low wages they were being - paid, and (.oul l scarcely Uve. There Is not a miner in thv State who has not had his pay increased from 25 to 40 per cent., and they nre working full time and have money and art contented with present conditions, .although a great many of them who voted for Bryan four years ago will vote for Dobs In this election. The laboring ron In th gaj belt are generally employed and tho gUi blowers got under the Dlngley law whuc they hid under the McKinley law formerly, and they are for a protective tariff un-1 are supporting McKinley In this adminLtratlcn in order that their wages may continue. The railroad men are working full hours and on all of th rod&, and perhaps with but one exception, are receiving standard wages and are t a tin lied anl will vote to continue present condition. Besidep, the laboring men of Indiana aro patriotic, and while our soldiers are bcln; shot down in the Philippine inlands, they will not abandon their friends and neighbors and their neighbors' boys who aro standing by the old Hag in that fsr distant land cf ours. A PECULLAR CAMPAIGN. "This has been a peculiar campaign. The Bryanltes started out by claiming that 95 per cent, of the Gold Democrats had returned to the Bryan camp and Bryan m said that if he had known so many of them were coming back he would havs had some candy fatted calves to giv them to show them that they were welcome. After a little while it was plain to be seen that they were not falling over each other to get the candy veal and so they soon abandoned that. Then, the next proposition the Bry anlte ot on to was to claim that the traveling men -a ere all for Bryan, and that didn't pan out. Thta they claimed the ca blt was all fcr Bryan, and for two or thre weks evrrjrbody was talkir.3 ca belt until Mr. Bry&a made his free trade speech throughout tbs gas bell and the laboring men üen t talk, and that proposition fell Kalter ti any.
