Senator Vilas was made temporary chairman and spoke substantially as follows : Senator Vilas, in his speech, referred to the difficulties that had been imposed upon the; in charsre of national affairs during the past eighteen months, and the still greater strain placed uion the public at large. While they had been anxiously laboring to effect relief, the air was being rent and public temper Irritated by the false clamor of partisan adversaries seeking to "cover up their responsibility for their aftlicting acts. It had happened more than once in the old days of power an,j splendor that the democratic party had suffered temporary reverses through some fever of Irritation, skillfully engendered in' the "f it year" between presidential elections, only to be strengthened for the victory of the succeeding contest. The adversaries of democracy, !n the hope of plucking similar advantage from the llckleness of political fortune, had already cackled over their prospects, as if the mischief were already Jone, and the public interests were attain their prey. Finding the good sense of the people not so easily overturned, the fervor of their expectancy had cooled and their ardor abated. Conditions had changed within the last half of a century; means for quick popular understanding were far superior to thos of the early days, and p.-opie kept pace with events a? never before in history. It was to this intelligence and ober Judgment that democracy made Its appeal. Forebodings of the present disastrous conditions were apparent in 1S34, when President Arthur sought the help of Hutrh MrCull u'h. soliciting him to take charge of the treasury. Mr. MeCullough replied that the most he could do was to Istione the evil day until after the dose of the Arthur administration. This he did. and handed over his portfolio to his successor with freely confessed relief. Daniel .Manning earned the gratitude of the whole country and had sacrificed hia life under the burden that he assumed. Almost from the first hour the measures he adopted were strengthening the treasury and reducing expenses, and the happiest period of business prosperity and development and success m all directions marked the dosing1 years of the Cleveland administration. Thi3 prosperity had carried over in its good effects Into the succeeding administration of President Harrison. The latter hai , an abundant revenua with approprla- j tiom so limited by the preceding demo- j cratia congress that aa abundant sur-J

plu3 for the year would ensue. The ex- ; pen. es of the government were pro- ; vi led for up to July 1, 1V.H). and a cash ,

balance remained on hand of JIS3,&27.2D. This was the Inheritance of thrift and management the republicans took from the democrats when President Harrison assumed the presidential otllce In March, lSst. Never came heir more happily to a rich estate from wise and prudent ancestor. During the first 'two ears of their administration out of the money left them by the prudence of their predeces.ors the republicans reduced the'public debt J';.."27,;W.lö. but even this was less by nearly $105,000.000 than the reduction by tthe democrats. In September, 1S01, the 4Vi Ir cent, bonds fell due, but there was no money to pay them, and It became necessary to effect an extension of over JilO.OOO.OOO, which are still unpaid. The national bank redemption fund was turned intj the trea;ury to increase its account, and even the sliver change was counted to swell the showing. The policy of postponing liability and deferring payments was Inaugurated, and the business of the country was forced to contemplate the perils of a weakened treasury, with the chances of its gaining strength growing weaker as the administration drew to a close, and was enabled to deliver its burden to its successor. Cnuxes of the üvll. The evils that had fallen upon the country Senator Vilas attributed to four causes, namely: The so-called "billiondollar congress," with all its misdeeds; its silver purchasing laws. Its McKinley protection and its unexampled extravagance, not only In direct appropriation, but in entailing future obligations yet to be discharged. The Cleveland a iministration ha 1 expended Js7:..3r5,116 97 exclusive of lh expenses of the postal rlepirtme.nt an.', the reduction rf the public debt; the Harrison administration expanded $l.-,)-."'4-J71.2n, tntis increasing the expenditures in four years $.123.47,451.42, a sum equal to the entire expenditures of th-1 government for the four years r.-xi before 'he republican party c-im- into power. Not only this, but the Fifty-second congress was oblige 1 IJ pr.c v'.c f 175.73J.S16.T0. and the Fiftyth'r i' congress, in the session jtist closed, J'"..723.0U.92 to me. the obligation Imposed upon the country by the FiftyJirst congress. Here, Mr. Vilas claimed, was the cause of he national distress of A nation could n more squander its 5tibs;anee in ri tous living and escape th- penalty, than any prodigal spendthrift. ' Takir.g up the tariff question. Mr. Vilas said the McKinley act by its perfected prohibitions and the deliverance of protected articles made in this country by the manufacturers and trusts, made the levies upon the people greater than ever, although tha share of the government was l"ss. Favorites waxed fat. but the public treasury was lean, and the lesstnel receipts from custom dutic-3 raised increasing menace of coming bankruptcy. From J2:ii.tV.5S.f,7 in Is'.'O. the last complete year before McKinlcyism began, the customs revenues fell to $177,452, Ml. 15 in lSi'2, a presage of coming disaster, and though from special 'causes there was a bter result in the year ending with June, lsi3, the fatal drop continued during the year just past, and but $132,294.242. i:i had been collected at the customs houses. He added: "Thus, though every rate of duty was increased on goo is of republican favorites, the government's share of the increa. d taxation was reduced over $97,Om.ooO between the last year before .Mo-Klnlovi.-m and the last year the folly endured." Against this falling off In revenues of the govtrnmeiit the speaker again referred to the increased burdens placed upon the country by the Fifty-first congress, and used It as an argument to show why in the year Just gone bankruptcy almost had seemed to impend before new and sufficient revenues could be "provided. The She ruin ii Law. The Sherman iaw was next discussed. Tne national democratic convention of lVlil had accepted the designation given it by the democrats of Wisconsin and declared U a cowardly make-shift to ward off the loss of the electoral votes of the western suver states. me latter nvl first made a demand for free coinage of silver at the oil ratio of 15 grains of silver to 1 of gold, while excessive production and other causes had continually decreased the value of the white metal until in 1SS9 it required twenty-two grains of silver to buy one of gold, with a further fall im prospect. The proposition that the government should coin dollars at 16 to 1 and give them to the mineowner, who furnished the bullion. Implied that thf value of the dollar should fail to the value of silver in it, or if the government's credit ivat to support it, tint the government should give the silver producer the grains of coining, some C5 per cent, or more. The Fifty-first congress, equally fearing to grant or refuse this demand, devised a compromise equally pernicious, by which the government was compelled to purchase 150 tons of silver bullion a month which it had no use for, thus forcing the issue of federal promissory notes at the rate of $4,00'.'. 000 a month. Ey this means the western republican states were furnished a customer at the expense of the people of the whole country. The Inevitable consequence followed. The government was set to work Inflating and impairing the currency of the country. Distrust crept Into the channels of business; capitalists abroad quietly pushed their American securities on the market and gold began taking its way to foreign lands. It was in another form the triumph of greenbackism. The silver dollar was made a legal tender, yet silver continued to decline n the market. A thousand million dollars of silver certificates had been Issued, which the government practically bound itself to redeem In gold, because if it redeemed them in-silver It dropped the currency at once to a basis of silver monometallism. Mr. Cleveland, on his return to the presidential office, was confronted with a treasury with Jf6-J.000.0o0 less of money in it; with deferred and accumulated demand to be met and appropriations to be paid during the ensuing sixteen months $73,090.000 greater in amount than there was revenue to meet tlmm, in place of he fair prosperity and universal confidence he hid left behind him; a rising distrust, a disordered currency, with a law commanding a monthly Increase of its risks; gold disappearing from the country; financiers -taking alarm and the storm already gathered and ready to burst. The president and the democratic party entering upon their trusts under such circumstances should have the support of all patriotic citizens. Republican Minority a lllndernnce. Senator Vilas then reviewed at length the difficulties that have been placed in the way of repealing the pernicious causes of the disas-ters by the republican minority In congress, beginning with the Sherman act down to the McKinley law. The Wilson bill, he raid, had required bu,t. moderate amendment to have made it an. efficient measure of reform; there was much in It, however, to give rejoicing1 that it has become a law not withstanding the successful asvaults that had bet-n made upon It by the protectionists. The Income tax stands mjst acceptable among Its particular provisions and all men are compelled to confess Its Justice. The most grievous thing manifested in h-i battle of tariff reform was the power displayed by trusts ami combination the natural enemies of democracy, and upon the discovery of their hold upon some-within the rank of the democratic party. Tariff reform would yet be achieved in the full measure of Justice und rljTht. It waa but delayed, not deContinued on Second rune. 1

I .urns, special a sent of the 'secret service bureau at Wa.-hington, who has be.--n here, for the ptst two months working n the special warrtnt eise, iflada affidavits before Commissioner L. P. Moscly, charging them with violating section 5.1'. i of the revised statutes of the United .-a-.es in issuing the $200,000 of Mississippi special warrants charged to be in the similitude of United States currency. T;.i warrant was placed in the hands of United States Marshal J. McXealy. Auditor St -ne appeared before the commissioner and entered into personal recognizance of Jl.O'H) f r his appearance at the November term of the federal court, waiving examination. The warrants have not ber n serve 1 on Governor Stone, who was officially engage.!, inr on State Treasurer Ilvans, who is out of the city. They will be served on the governor tomorrow and the treasurer when he returns. Tiie affidavit contains three charges covering each of the three denominations of warrants Avith a photograph print of both front and back of same. These charges allege that on the 15th day of June the aforesaid mentioned state ofliciils did unlawfully and feloniously, at Jackson, Miss., and not by direction of any proper officer of tiie United States, print, photograph, made and caused to be primed, photographed and made, certain photograph print and impression on the likeness of national bank currency of said United States. Then follows the denomination of the warrants with photographic print of its face and bacK. The papers were prepared by District Attorney Lee and Assistant District Attorney Henry. The .tate officers have been expecting these proceedings f.r several days and were not, therefore, the hast surprised when served. They appear not at all disturled and are sanguine of the successful termination of the issue. These warrants were issued in accordance with an act passed by the la.st legislature making It the ob'uLil ditty of these ollicers to execute the sam The act provides for $2'0.0ao in these warrants in denominations of fives, tens and twenties. These are redeem 1 d e Jan. 1, lSSr, and lar interest at th rate of o per cet.t. per annum and are receivable at any tlm-? for ail dues by the state prior to that date without interest. The issuance was rendered necessary by a deficit in the state treasury and the legislature chose thij means of providing for it over the protests of the state officers who argued f r tin issue of bond.s in their stead. The first demand made by the United States government wa.s a few days ago when Special Officer Hums demanded the canceled plates from which the warrants were printed. demand was refused. He wired the result to Washington and received Instruciion-s to swear out warrants for the arrest of the officials. Governor Stone was seen and said : "The state officials hal no purpose to violate any United States law and I do not believe that such law hass been violated. The matter is now to come lefore a court for which I have the greatest respect and In which I have the utmost confidence. I do not, therefore, care to publicly discuss the matter." United States Senators G. Z. George and A. J. McLaurin and ex-Chief Justice J. A. P. Campbell have Ieen retained by the state officials to defend them. At Seeretnry Carlisle Direction. WASHINGTON. Sept. 10. The proceedings against the Mississippi state officials were taken at the direction of Secretary Carlisle a3 the result of a consultation between him and the officials of the department of justice. It was felt that if no notice was taken of the Issue and distribution of these warrants by the state vf Mississippi other states would in all probability follow suit and the near resemblance of the issues to government securities would result in harm. The penalty is a fine of nut more than $5,000 or Imprisonment at hard labor not more than fifteen years. -Phe opinion here Is that the present will be a test case. Attorney-General Olney has directed United States Attorneys Lee at Jackson, Mich., and Colbert at St. Louis, to prepare information looking to the prosecution of the ca?es begun today. The secret scn--vice agent. W. J. Burns, at Jackson, Miss., today Informed Chief Hazen of his action.

In response to a telegram from the World announcing the arrival of an English syndicate sent here to investigate and denounce lynching and asking for personal views as to English meddling with American affairs, the following reply was received from overnor O'Ferral of Virginia: "Things have come to a pretty pass in this country when we are to have a lot of English moralists sticking their noses into our Internal affairs. It is the quintessence &t brass and Impudence. They bad better sweep In front of their own doors before seeking to resrulate us. We might as well investigate British affairs in India, her Whltechat.pel murders, her Jack-the-Ripper slashings, her Maybrick trial, and her alleged injustice and cruelty to this woman, h:r rapacious colonial p Iley in Africa, and the degrading effects upon the Chinese resulting from her opium war. What do they propose to do in eise they fini that i7t law is not administered lure according to their Ideas? Declare war against us. or open the vials of their wrath upon our heads? Whnt Do They Want? "What information do they seek? Do they want tu know that thewhite people in thi Smth. have lyiuhed negroes wh jse miserable lusts led the;n to the commission of the black crime of rape up n white women? If s , they need not investigate, f.ir such is the fact. Di they desire l kn.nv tint this has been d.ine by infuriited communities for the protection of their white women and to save the victims of these fiends from humiliation from testifying in ciurts? If si, this is the fact. Dj they want to know whether there was any doubt as to the guilt of the men lynched? If si, for the satisfaction cf their yeirning s u!s they c uld have ascertained without encountering the perils of a sex trip that their guilt was clear in every instance. "If riiey had desired to learn whether these lynching were permitted or countenanced by the civil authorities they could have learned through the regular channels of correspondence that in every case- the civil authorities were either without knowledge or were overpowered. In Virginia the authorities In every case have asserted all their power to suppress the lynching spirit, and within the last few months I have protected from violence with military, at heavy expense to the state, three negroes who were charged with outraging white women. They had fair trials, were convicted and executed. "While lynch law is to be condemned and every elTort has been and will be made to suppress It In the South, without the advice of those would-be philanthropists who have taken .so much uion themselves, lynchings will surely cease when crime of rape ceases. These sympathetic Englishmen might find missionary work amor.- t ho negroes of the South in warning them against the consenuences of the forcible gratification of their devilih lust."

The following reply was received from Governor Fishback of Arkansas: "That England, a foreign country, and one which pays less than, one-third as much money pcr capita for the education of Its people as the states pay, should assume the role of a missionary to teach us our duty can but excite ridicule as wtll as resen : men t. If its committee is really sincere in its efforts to suppress lyn.diirg it must be sadly wanting in common sense not to have learned this mach of hunixn nature.

Chauvin, seventy-six years of age, and a wealthy and prominent citizen of Grosse Pointe township, was found foully murdered in his home on the Grosse Pointe road, northeast of the city, late this afternoon. The murderers have not been caught, but the officers claim to b close i.pjii their trail. Chauvin lived as a hermit Ln an isolated place. Joseph Groesbeek, a cousin of the deceased, called at his house late this afternoon and discovered Chauvin's dead body on the floor. On his head were three terrible wounds, evidently indicted by an ax. The murderers bad ransacked the house, but probably found nothing of much value, as Chauvin kept little money wdth him. Persons in the vicinlty claim to have seen two men go to Chauvin's cabin this morning and afterwards start from there toward the city. The officers aver they expect to catch the murderers within forty-eight hours. Chauvin had lived a hermit for eighteen years. He was once a member of the Michigan legislature, and had held various local places of trust, was an intelligent student, and Is estimated to have been worth upwards of $200,000. Three other attemrrts at robbing and killing him had been made, but It was quite well known of late that he kept nothing of value on his premises. MADE A BIG CATCH.

NORTH ADAMS. Mass.. S-pt. 9. The most horrible railroad disaster known m this vicinity took place on the Fitch ourg roa l last evening in the Iloosao tunnel, a short distance east of the central shaft. The accident was caused by a rear end collision between tast-bound freight trains, and, as near as can be ascertained, happened about 10:30 o'clock. A freight train had stopped to repair an ecgiiv; which had broken down and at about the sann time a west-bound express train passed through the tunnel, filling it with smoke. A second east-bound train was allowed to enter the tunnel contrary to the rules of the road, and the engineei, being unable, on account of the dense smoke left by the passenger train, to distinguish the lights from the train fr m the lights on the walls of the tunnel, went into it with a crash. A horribie disaster was the result, both trains being badly wrecked. The ttranej was blockaded. Two men were killed outright and three were seriously injured. The killed were: WILLIAM Tl'RPEXIXG, brakemai-, of Syracuse, N. Y. GEORGE MIM MICK, hrakeman, of Fitohburg. The injured: WALTER CLAPP, engineer of Rotterdam, X. Y., hurt about the pelvis and chesr.

Ten persons weie killed and twenty injured by the wreck of the Paris and Cologne express train today. Trie accident happened at Apllly, and was caused by a collision of the express train with a freight train. The engineer saw the danger ahead and reversed his engine. This had the effect of reducing the speed and rendering the accident less severe than it would otherwise have been. As it was, the wreck was a very d'sastrous one. A passenger on the train, who escaped with slight injuries, says that the shock of the collision was tremendous and the forward cars were reduced almost to atoms. The bodies of the victims were badly mutilated, in some cases the head being severed from the; trunk. It is reported that the station'master at Apllly, on seeing that a collision was inevitable, jumped in front of the express train and was killed. The list of dead and injured does not include any Americans. Rig Four Freight Wreck. SPRINGFIELD. O., Sept. 10.

From High Government Authority. No authority of greater experience on food products exists than Dr. Henry A. Mott, of New York. Dr. Mctt's wide experience as Government Chemist for the Indian Department, gave hio exceptional opportunities to acquaint himself with the qualities and constituent parts of baking powders. He understands thoroughly the comparative value of every brand in the market, and has from time to time expressed his opinion thereof. On a recent careful re-examination and analysis he finds Dr. Price's Cream Baking Powder superior to all others in strength, purity, and efficiency. Dr. Mott writes : " New York, March 20th, 1894. I find Dr. Price's Cream Caking Powder to be superior to all others, for the following reasons : ist. It liberates the' greatest amount of leavening gas and is consequently more efficient. 2nd. The ingredients used in its preparation are of the purest character. 3rd. Its keeping qualities are excellent. 4th. On account of the purity of the materials and their relative proportions, Dr. Price's Cream Eaking Powder must be considered the acme cf perfection as regards vholcsomcncs3 and efficiency, 'and I say this having in mind certificates I have given several years ago respecting two other baking powders. The reasons for the change in my opinion are based oa the above facts and the new method adopted to prevent your baking powder from caking and deteriorating in strength. Henry A. Mott. Ph. D.. U L.
