jrlaln why ho declines opfn!y to pay how 2.e Is going to vet-, and why none of his t friends are authorized to speak for him in 'that respect. They explain, alo. why instead of plainly stating his very emjhtlc opinions of the present leadership nnd tendencies of the Democratic party, air. Cleveland points to hi record and asks that that shall be permitted to speak for him. "in short. Mr. Cleveland Is anxious as any man in the country to have Bryanlsm Vurlf d. and he will vote to bury it. but he thinks it would not bo becoming in him to make an active campaign in support of his wishes; and he is the more content with this retiring attitude because the burial ceremonies appear to be going on with all proer solemnity and effectiveness. "Among those friends of Mr. Cleveland

who knew his actual attitude or mind there was both surprise and delight when they read In the papers this wornlng his letter to 3!r. Dickinson. They were surprised because they had not believed Mr. Cleveland would say anything more and they were delighted because he had adopted a course by which, without violation of the proprieties as he understands them, he could make It verfectly clear that he i3 Implacably opposed to any compromise ' with or toleration of Bryanlsm under any pretext whatsoever. VIEWS OF DON M. DICKINSON. "A week ago Mr. Dickinson came out In a most severe and able arraignment of Bryan and announced his Intention to vote for McKinley. Mr. Dickinson was In correspondence with Mr. Cleveland at that time. Yesterday morning Mr. Dickinson arrived in New York, and Immediately took train to Princeton, where he spent the afternoon. He brought back with him a letter from Mr. Cleveland, In which the former President cites an old speech of his as an expression of his views, which he 'would not suppress or abate from if he could. both letter of authorization and peech being designed by their author for publication to-day. 'The speech, when examined, is found to b-3 a most sweeping and effective denunciation of Bryanlsm. and an appeal to all true Democrats to make an effort to recover tho etolen banners. And here, having, made perfectly plain his attitude, Mr. Cleveland tests. lie will have nothing more to say. Indeed, there Is nothing more to be said. But after the campaign is over and Bryanlsm has been burled, as decently and rever ently as possible. Mr. Cleveland'8 voice may be raised In favor of an Immediate rehabilitation and regeneration of his party. "On account of Mr. Cleveland's desire not to appear too active in this campaign many rumors concerning his actual attitude have been put In circulation. It has been said he was opposed to both Bryan and McKinley, and that he would not vote. This Is not true, and Mr. Cleveland, over his signature, authorized t'ne reprinting of his former speech for the special purpose of putting an end to such misconceptions and misunderstandings. The language which he used In 1W, and now specifically authorizes the repetition of. Is so sharp and almost fierce in its condemnation of Bryanlsm that there is no need for any one to ask how Mr. Cleveland will vote. The ex-President has never claimed to be a prophet nor the ton of a prophet, but in his speech of isr he foresaw and forecasted the violent and vicious appeals to discontent and class prejudice which have marked the present campaign. I am told that Mr. Cleveland looks upon the present tendencies of his party as even more dangerous than In 1SC6. "Mr. Dickinson was asked to-day for hl3 v7ews of the significance of Mr. Cleveland's letter. 'The meaning of this authorized publication.' replied Mr. Dickinson, 'Is that it applies, and was meant by Mr. Cleveland to apply, to the present campaign. More important than Mr. Cleveland's championship of sound money in that speech in 1S37 was his prophetic denunciation of the revolutionary doctrines and class hatred which are now so conspicuous in this campaign. To all Democrats Mr. Cleveland's words must now come with peculiar significance. WORK OF DEMAGOGUES. " 'He speaks of those who "love the principles of their party too well to follow its stolen banners." He characterizes the Bryanite campaign as "the work of agitators and demagogues." lie emphasizes it by calling them "ruthless agitators sowing the seeds of discontent and class suspicion and. distrust." He states that they "call honest accumulation a crime." He characterizes the Bryan campaign as "a crusade o discontent and passion, encouraging the restless and turbulent with hints of greater license." He speaks of "the allied forces of calamity" as having fought what they called "the first battle," and calls attention to the continuance of the crusade. " 'The present authorized publication points, and was meant to point, to this campaign. To his party of to-day Mr. Cleveland's repetition of the speech states broadly that "the party legends have been effaced," and that "the leadership of the organization is anti-Democratic." and knowing that Democrats should not permit themselves to be forced to "follow false lights which will only lead the party to defeat and destruction." Mr. Cleveland polnt- ' edly adds that "party discipline and organization shoald never be the masters of party principles." " This publication by Mr. Cleveland's authority is a trumpet call to good Democrats in his language when he says: "On our camping ground we will work and wait with approving conscience and constant faith here we stand; we cannot do otherwise."

Ilegret Having; Printed the Fnke Interview with Mr. Cleveland. PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 31.-The Times this morning says: "The following dispatch was received yesterday by the editor of the Times from ex-rresldent Cleveland relating to the alleged Interview with him on the national political contest published prominently in this Journal yesterday morning: " 'Princeton. N. J.. Oct. 20. Editor Philadelphia Times: The aleged interview with me published in this m Vrning's Time; is an absolute and outrageous fabricamn. " 'OROVKIi CITv ELAND.' "Mr. Cleveland's emphatic denial of the interview on the political situation published in this journal yesterday morning Is accepted as conclusive. The Times owes it to Itself and to Its large circle of readers to say that it was not in any measure a narty to the publictaion of the Interview beyond accepting it from the author, who was highly accredited. The Cleveland interview was brought to the Times office at a late hour on Monday night by R. J. Black, a resident of Iowa. He had letters of recommendation from J. Sterling Morton, a member of Mr. Cleveland's Cabinet, and from other close friends of the ex-President. He stated that he had come directly, from a visit to Mr. Cleveland; had discussed the political situation fully with him and had carefully taken down Mr. Cleveland's utterances. Thus accredited and tit an hour too late to verify the interview, the editor in charge, fully convinced that no imposition was Intended, prominently published the interview, as it was highly Important, if true. We sincerely regret the publication. No political interest would weigh for a moment with this Journal in favor of the publicity of such political news, and we make the correction as distinctly and conspicuously as is possible, not only in Justice to Mr. Cleveland, bjt in justice to public Journalism." As soon as Mr. Black, whose Initials were signed to the dispatch, heard that Mr. Cleveland had denied the Interview ho voluntarily came to the Times office and made the following affidavit: " 'Philadelphia. Oct. 20. I. Robert J. Black, had an interview with Grover Cleveland on Oct. 23. 1.000. in his home In Princeton, N. J., and during a lengthy , talk with him In his parlor he told me that he favored Bryan and said: "My boy, you will see a landslide for Bryan on the day after election;" he also said that Bryan was a great orator.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 21. The State Department to-day made public the BritishGerman agreement respecting the maintenance of the "open-door" and territorial integrity of China, with the answer of the United States government, sent in duplicate to each of the principles to the agreement. Secretary Hay's note to Lord Pauncefote is dated Oct. 2D. It follows: "I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your note of the 23d of October, inclosing the text of an agreement between Great Britain and Germany relating to affairs in China, which was signed in London on the 16th ihst. by the Marquis of Salisbury and the German ambassador on behalf of their respective governments, and Inviting the acceptance by the United States of the principles recorded in that agreement. These principles are: " 'First It Is a matter of joint and permanent international Interest that the point on the rivers and littoral of China should remain free and open to trade and to every other legitimate form of economic activity for the nationals of all countries without distinction, and the two governments agree on their part to uphold the same for all Chinese territory so far as they can exercise Influence. " 'Second Her Britannic Majesty's government and the Imperial German government will not, on their part, make use of the present complication to obtain for themselves any territorial advantages in Chinese dominions, and will direct their policy toward maintaining undiminished the territorial condition of the Chinese empire.' "The United States has heretofore made known its adoption of both these principles. During the last year this government invited the powers Interested in China to join in an expression of views and purposes in the direction of impartial trade with that country and received satisfactory assurances to that effect from all of them. When th? recent troubles were at their height this government, on the 3d of July, once more made an announcement of its policy regarding impartial trade and the integrity of the Chinese empire and had the gratification of learning that all the powers held similar views. And since that time the most gratifying harmony has existed among all the nations concerned as to the ends to be pursued, and there has been little divergence of opinion as to the details of the course to be followed. It Is. therefore, with much satisfaction that the President directs me to inform you of he full sympathy of this government with those of her Britannic Majesty and the German Emperor In the principles set forth in the clauses of the agreement above cited. The third clause of tho agreement provides: " 'In case of another power making use or tho complications in China in order to obtain, under any form whatever, such territorial advantages, the two contracting parties reserve to themselves to come to a preliminary understanding as to the even tual steps to be taken for the protection of their own interests in China. "As this clause refers to a reciprocal ar rangement between the two high contracting powers, the government of the United States does not regard itself as called on to express an opinion in respect to it.

The questions were not asked in the assemblage place, but merely thrown in the streets in printed form. The Governor said ho did not feel that he was compelled to answer these questions. AT NIAGARA FALLS. At Niagara Falls the Roosevelt train was greeted with the Governor's salute of nineteen guns and the Governor was taken to the opera house, where he addressed a large audience. The chairman of the meeting introduced him as a friend of the working man who was a workingman himself. The Governor said: "I do not believe that in this campaign I have been introduced in a manner that pleases me so much, because I do not feel that any American is worth his salt unless he is a workingman. Work comes in many different ways and I honor every form of honest work in others and I claim in return the right to be treated as being as much of a workingman myself as any of my fellows. If a man does not work he cannot do anything for his fellows and he cannot do anything for himself. If there exists a class in the community which instead of regarding with envy we ought to regard with that pity which is akin not to love, but to contempt, it Is the Idle class, and I don't care whether the idle class is the gilded butterily at the top. or the tramp below. In either case, the man who will not work but who sits down for the purpose of making his work the pursuit of pleasure or absence from effort, in either case not only is the man useless to his ncighlors but he is not even able to gratify his own mean ambition; lor minu you, a man who deliberately devotes his life to tho pursuit of pleasure gets infinitely less of it than the man who tries to do hi work and then finds that tho greatest possible pleasure comes in the sense of work well done." When the Governor finished hi3 remarks, a gray whiskered man in the audience arose and said that in all respect and in nil sincerity and all honor to the Governor of the Empire State, he would like to have the privilege of asking him a couple of questions. The Governor Immediately arose and nodded his assent. "Do you believe in taxation without representation?" asked the man. "What do you mean?" said the Governor. "Do you believe In taxation without representation?" again repeated the questioner. "You take the census statements which have been published in the papers and I think you will find the Indians are the only ones not taxed." said the Governor, which reply was followed by a howl of applause. "Wo are not Indians. Two years ago ,' but the interrupter got no further. Cries of "Shut up." "put him out," came fiom different parts of the hall, from those who seemed Impatient at the interruption of the meeting. At Tonawanda, the, last stop of the Roosevelt train before reaching Buffalo, a large crowd had gathered. Tiie Governor addressed them from a stand near the train, speaking In the same strain as he had at other places during the day. RECEPTION AT BUFFALO. The train bearing the Republican vice presidential candidate arrived ir. this city shortly after 4 o'clock, after making a pause at Black Rock, an industrial suburb

of Buffalo and the northbound railway center of the city. The Governor was accordeda splendid reception at this place and addressed a few remarks to the laboring people. From the time of his arrival until the time he retired there was one continuous ovation. The streets through which he had to pass on his way from the depot were crowded with people. It had been planned to have the Governor hold a reception this aftrnoon because of the early hour of . his arrival, but he was so fatigued with the day's work that he compromised by addressing the assembled people as a whole, explaining that he was deeply touched by the magnificent reception which had been accorded him and that he desired to thank them for it. Being booked to make three speeches this evening, he said he would not make one at that time, but hoped to see them at one of the night meetings. Governor Roosevelt spoke at three meetings to-night, one on the east fide in the industrial portion of the city, which was an open-air affair and where so many people were gathered that less than one-half of them could hear the speaker. Another followed In a small hall, where the major part of the audience was composed of Italians, and the third and last in the Immense convention hall, which was filled to the very doors. Here the Governor said in part: "Our opponents, having no case on the facts, are constantly obliged to alter facts in order to make their case. I have noticed placards in your city, put up by them, stating that the cost of coal was $7.25 per ton, and that this was due to the anthracite coal trust. As. a matter of fact, the retail price, delivered, is 55.75, just what it always has been at this season of the year. "Mr. Bourke Cockran spoke here the other night. He presented Mr. Bryan's issues rather better than Mr. Bryan could present them, yet I confess it is incomprehensible to me how Mr. Cockran can now champion Mr. Bryan, in view not only of what he said four years ago, but of what h3 said as late as last February, when he stated that no matter whether there was Imperialism or not in the campaign, he would have to pursue the course he did in lJsDti because he said "I regard the Chicago platform as destructive to all government and I should prefer some government to no government." Well, what are the reasons he gives as his excuse? In the first place, imperialism; In the second place, militarism. By imperialism he means our expansion into the Philippines, and expanfclon conducted on exactly the same basis as Jefferson's expansion Into the country west of the Mississippi. THE SULU BUGBEAR, "Mr. Cockran and Mr. Bryan have both affected great horror from the fact that polygamy and, as alleged, slavery exists In Sulu, in the Philippine Archipelago, which is now under our flag. I should like to ask them if they think that it will help their policy in the event of our withdrawing the flag? Of course, as a matter of fact, the only chance of getting rid of either consists in keeping the flag up. We cannot do everything in a day. Messrs. Bryan and Cockran would be the first to rave against President McKinley if he now added tc the war with Aguinaldo another war with the Sultan of Sulu. "Half a century ago there were many Abolitionists, sincere, but absolutely foolish and wrcng-headed people, .who wanted the free States to secede from the Union because there was slavery in the Union. Had their advice been followed slavery would exist to the present day in the Southern States. The only thing to do was what we actually did that is, to keep the flag flying and. -when the fullness of time arrived abolish slavery. "So It is in Sulu. We shall keep the flag flying, and therefore In the end polygamy and slavery will both disappear. I .-night mention Incidentally that President McKinley has already declined to lecogaize slavery in the Island, and therefore has taken steps toward its abolitioa. "And what are the plans of Messrs. Bryan and Cockran? Why, of all tiling in the world, Mr. Bryan proposes to establish a protectorate over all the island including Sulu, and therefore to perpetuate slavery and polygamy by guaranteeing to the islanders these among their other institutions and protecting them against all outside interference. In other words, Mr. Bryan's platform deliberately provides fcr the perpetuation of the very ovlls which he and Mr. Cockran affect to denounce. As a matter of fact, they can only by done away wdth by following our system. MILITARISM. "Now, a word about militarism. Mr. Bryan says that the object of the army bill was to put the regular army in forts near great cities for the purpose of coercing laboring men. Incidentally, Mr. Bryan knows perfectly well that there was no such purpose, and he has asserted it only for the purpose of exciting the very basest passions among the thoughtless and the honest but ignorant, as well as among the lawless and disorderly. "In the next place you have here in Buffalo a fort with two companies, and not far off. at the outlet of Niagara river, a fort with another company. The companies are now depleted on account of the struggle in the Philippines, but when these companies were full they contained some 300 men; that is, they contained Just about the proportion to which Buffalo would be entitled if the army were divided up according to population. So Buffalo now has the fort and the soldiers of which Mr. Bryan professes such dread. Now, gentlemen, as a matter of fact, there is no human being In Buffalo who is such a weakling or such a craven as to be concerned about those soldiers. You know very well that the contrary is the case, and the agitation in the matter that there has been in Buffalo has been in favor of trying to get a full regiment established here. In the century of its life Buffalo has never yet seen a single American soldier from any fort in its neighborhood appear in its streets because of any labor trouble. And Inasmuch as Its citizens are Americans and not timid creatures who lack alike courage, patriotism and common sense, Instead of objecting to the soldiers, they find their presence beneficial from the material standpoint, and they are, moreover, proud of the United States uniform and the United States flag." In conclusion the Governor said: "I want here, in Buffalo, to thank not only the people, but I want to thank the police force for the admirable way in which it has kept order and handled all these large crowds throughout my visit here. They make Americans feel proud of them." This closing remark had special reference to the perfect manner in which the throngs were handled- and the utter absence of any annoying Incident.

XOT OM1 BODY FOt'XD IX TIIE ULINS OF TIIE SEW YOIUv FI HC. Twonty-SIx Pemonn Still Unaccount ed For, and It Is Doubtful if Trace of Them Will Be Discovered. NEW YORK, Oct.. 31. A revision made to-night of those persons missing and thought to have perished in the explosion and fire at Tarrant & Co.'s drug house shows twenty-six unaccounted for. Of this number four are not known at the addresses given by the persons reporting them missing. Out of the whole number eight are put down by the police as employes of Tarrant & Co. Not a single body had up to 10 o'clock to-night been found in the ruins, though what looked like parts of bodies, have been dug out. It begins to look as If whatever bodies are in the mass of debris which still cumbers the place, will be totally unrecognizable as of human composition, even should the workmen find them. Thi3 is because of the tremendous heat caused by the explosion and the Are and the fusing of materials which, running together, form a mass of all sorts of stuff. For instance, what was supposed to be parts of bodies taken from the ruins last night turned out on examination at the morgue to be blackened pieces of melted gum arable. Again to-day another mass was found which the workmen first thought to be human flesh, but is now thought to bo melted rubber. The searchers have found in tho ruins of the "Home-made" Hotel a number of articles such as books, a handkerchief, a cigar holder, etc., but whether their owners escaped or not, is unknown. The authorities in the meantime are pushing the Investigation into the amount of explosives stored in the building with a view to prosecutions. Secretary Augustus F. Doherty, of the tire department, in speaking of the cause of the explosion, said to-day: "The combustibles carried by Tarrant & Co. were largely in excess of what were allowed them under the iaw and their permit granted by the fire department, and in consequence of this fact they have violated the law. By violating the terms of the permit they have committed a misdemeanor, which not only vitiates their Insurance policies, but renders them criminally liable and responsible for the damage to life and property as a result of the explosions. The fire Insurance companies cannot be held for the damage." MISSED AN EASY SPARE RAMBLER BOWLER BECAME NERVOUS AND HIS CLUB LOST.

The first shock was at 11:15 o'clock a. m. and shook some of tha large buildings in the city. Hundreds of people believed that heavy ordnance was being fired In or near the city. At 11:23 another shock equally as severe was felt and they continued at fifteen minute intervals, until 12:30 o'clock. At 4:01 o'clock this afternoon the seventh shock of the day was felt, severer than any of the preceding, followed four minutes later by a report and shock, the severest of the day. The last disturbance made the window-panes rattle in several sections of the city. ' B0NI TOO WASTEFUL. (CONCLUDED FROM FIRST PAGE.) Fifth avenue. Besides the bride's immens Independent fortune she brtught to her husbanL it was said, a settlement for hi own use. The Castellanes have lived most of the time in Paris since the marriage. Their names have been frequently before the public during the past four years, that of the count in connection with alleged Royalist movements and that of the counters because of her popularity in French society, her splendid entertainments and her large gifts to charity. In the attack on President Loubet, of France, which occurred at the Auteull race track on Juno 4. 1MW, it was alleged that the countess who was Miss Anna Gould, had headed a party of young Royalists who were prominent in the assault, and that the count and his brother had been arrested as participants, but this was later denied. It has never been definitely announced by either family upon Just what basis the marriage settlements were made. The count's allowance was said to be fcMO.000 a year, set apart for him as distinct from his wife's fortune of $15.000.000. It was also said that the settlement included the contingency that if the countess died without Issue iö. OOO.üoO should revert to thye Count de Castellane, his heirs and assigns. Jan. 13 this year the count and countess left Paris for New York to visit the countess' family, the Goulds. The next day Paris Figaro announced that the count had lot WW.tfW on the Paris Bourse and had failed to meet his obligations nnd that the object of the American trip was to raise funds, presumably by an appeal to his wife's rich relatives. When the count married Anna Gould, five years before, it was rumored that he received comethlnjr like t million in cash to have and to hold as his very own', but according to FJgaro this amount had all been "burned up" by the royalist count and he could not get any more of his wife's wealth because Jay Gould had safely tied up the seven or efght other millions. The other Paris Journals took up the story. It was said the count and countess had actually flVd the city to cscaje the responsibility for his debts, had slipped away to Havre and were on tha high seas before anybody knew they were goinfr. Some of the statements were that his losses were $lfOno.U that members of his set had "cut" him because of unpaid bills of honor; that the aristocracy of Paris had refused to receive the Castrllancg for months: that the count had Ixirrowed everywhere he could get money nnd that l oth had tempted fortune at the race track nnd at Monte Carlo as well as on the Bourse. Tb aowts wre Mated to be an income of a year, the palace on thd Bois. two magnificent ynchts. l.orw) pairs of trou-ers and a bed coverlet worth S.j.000. The Marqujs de Castellane, the father of Bonl. published a card denying that his son. had been speculating and warning De Bodays, the editor of Figaro, to get ready to f.ght a chid.- He did not state whether or not his on would be the other fighter. On Castellane' return to Pari thert was another round of interviews and a couple of "French" duels, but the matter soon quieted down. I). II.
