HcXinlej. NEW YORK, September A—In a statement to-day, WBUam D. Bynum, formerly of Indiana, said: "I determined to support the Republican candidates as soon as the action of the Democratic convention was made known, i think the Republican party nearer right on the Important questions to be settled at the coming election, and they are too grave, tn my Judgment, to admit of any one’s remaining atlerii or Inactive. "While the legislation of the last Congress was a step tn th- right direction, the maintenance of the gold standard, so long as we have outstanding nearly €*>.- MMW silver dollars of full legal tender, with no provision for their exchange or redemption, will still depend on the policy of the administration. An administration that would force silver upon unwilling creditor* would soon affect public confidence, and that, after all, is the foundation of prosperity. "There is no such thing as imperialism. It Is nothing but a chimera. The Republicans should not allow themselves to be put on the defensive, but boldly take the aggressive. Not a single step has been taken bjr the President but what has been strictly within the limits of constitutional power and in line with Democratic precedent." LARGEST ENROLLMENT.

Military Dictator Has Taken Charge of the Government—VicoConsul’a News. NEW YORK. September C—Benito ZaJaxnea, United States rice-consul-general at Bogota. reached the city last night with dispatches to Secretary Hay from Charles Burden Hart, the minister to Colombia. Mr. Zalamea brought news of the real state of affairs ta the country, which has been concealed by orders of the usurping president. , Some time ago news was received that President San Clemente had resigned, and that Vice-President Marroguln had legally succeeded him. It now appears that Marroguln did not peacefully succeed San Clemente, but seised him. together with General Palacio. the secretary of state, and put them In prison at Villeta. The actual coup d'etat took place on July 31, at midnight. The present state of affairs is an outcome of the contest that for the last ten months hss been fought by the conservatives against the liberals, or revolutionists. When the contest was practically ended the historical wing of the conservatives broke away from the naturalists in an attempt to get the upper band in the government. The historical wing under Marroguln decided upon the coup d'etat. Mr. Zalamea saw President San Clemente in the prison at Villeta. The President told him that he would not recognise the new order of things. He was impatient for the true state of affairs to be made known. Since assuming power Marroguln has overridden the constitution, the laws and everything else, conducting himself In a manner Lttle short of that of a military dictator. He ha? succeeded In keeping the news of San Clemente's and Palacios's imprisonment from getting abroad up to the present time. Several of the governors of the different states and other agents of the legitimate government have refused to recognize Marroguln. Eduardo Espinosa, consul-general of the Colombian government in New York, was astonished to hear of San Clemente’s imprisonment and Marroguln's usurpa-. tion. He has derided not to recognize Marroguln. < RAILROAD POLICE. Pennsylvania Increases Its Force on lanes West of Pittsburg.

and they will be empowered to make arrests at all points where the lines run. The purpose of the extra officers is to rid the road of the great number of tramps that are Infesting It, and who not only steal rides but hang around In the railroad yards and commit depredations. The company has been losing a good deal of small freight from its cars lately and It Is thought that the stealing has been done by tramps. The men who serve as policemen for the Pennsylvania company have special powers and are & great protection to the trainmen. There is hardly a Pennsylvania train In or out of Indianapolis that does not carry one of the company’s special police, and they not only protect the company but the passengers as well.

Brancheau. pastor of 8t. Mary's church of this city, one of the largest In the Detroit diocese.

Sunday before last two women appeared without hats at one of the services In Father Brancheau's church.

JOHN MITCHELL. President United Mine Workers.

of the anthracite workers are members of the United Mine Workers is a bald lie. "Since last January we have added more than 10 per cent of the whole number of the anthracite workers to our membership rolls. We do not claim to hold In line all of the 142.000 anthracite workers, but we'do believe that the strike fever will spread throughout the four valleys where the 142.000 workers are employed. The men are anxious to get more pay. and I believe they have come to realise that they can do »o only by concerted action. "For years a certain amount of what was termed refuse from the mines was plied up around the mines. Of late years the operators have been screening this matter and getting vast profits. About 60 per cent, of the matter turns out to be salable, and Is readily sold. This is downright robbery. The stuff was mined In a regular way. and so long as it was not sold the men could not object, but now that the operators are getting hundreds of thousands of dollars out of the stuff and the men are getting nothing there 1? Indignation." Henry Stephenson, board member from West Virginia, says that the mines In that State are busy. As to the outcome of the conference hpre. he decline* to express an opinion. Other members of the board say that It Is not to their interest to do much talking just now. MINERS ARE WAITING.

The operators here do not look for * compromise of any kind. They s&y the men are bent on striking and they might Just as well have It out. The coal companies have formulated no program as to what course they will pursue In case a strike should be declared. beyond taking steps to protect their property. In the event of a lockout, the collieries will be guarded day and night. Conference Delayed at Hazelton. HAZELTON. Pa.. September 6.-T. D.
