Calling on the President.
WHAT WILL DEFEAT MEAN?
Congressman McKenna's Views on the
Results of the Election,

Results of the Election.
New York, October Sth.-In the World
to-day Ballard Smith discusses the oues-
ton, Will defeat mean disintegration to
either party, and how will victory to either
party affect the tariff question ?" He has
interviews with many Congressman on the
question, among them the following from
Representative McKenna, of California
" see no reason why the Republican
party would not continue 10 exist. The
party is natural growth. The sentiment
OF the Republican party is national its re-
gard Is the nation. The sentiment of the
Democratic party is States rights; its
highest regard is the State These different
sentiments and regards have made and
will always make different policies
In the event of victory of the Demo-
cratic party" continued Mr. MeKenna, Z" it
will push its principles of tariff for revenue
as far as it goes. 1t will not stop at the
Mills bill it cannot stop at the Mills bill
The Mills bill is a caricature The party
will be justified by victory in going to any
length. l don't think it will stop, or be
allowed 10 stop, at the grotesque conser-
vatlsm which preserves to the robber man.
ufacturing barons' a vested interest in the
robbery while it thinks other people have
no vested interest in anything. Taking
"hae llS Iedueis say iOr Wndt the party
means, the party will enforce progressive
free trade This is the language of its
platform. The principles of the Republi.
can party will be unaffected by defeat II
will still hold them and still advocate them
and wait. A great many Prohibitionists
this time will vote the Democratic or Re
publican ticket accordingly as they are
protectionists or free traders, and with the
triumph of free trade or the protection
tariff they will return to the Prohibition
party"

Attempt to Murder Three Men in q
Newspaper Office

ADMISSION (Ala.), October Sth.-An at
tempt was made this afternoon to assassin
ate w. ii. Edmons, editor of the Hot
Blast, IN his office. The trouble grew of
Edmons' war in favor of rigid enforce
ment OF the prohibition laws. A week ago
tour ex-pollcemen, who have been dis
charged TOR inefficiency, waylaid editor Ed
mons and beat him severely.
This afternoon Justice of the Peace J. S.
Lawrence, accompanied by Will Lacey, en-
tered the Hot Blast Office, in which at the
time were Edmons, John Coppell, the
Mailing Clerk, and A. Tribney, who had
come in on business
Lawrence called Edmons outside. where
some conversation was had in reference to
communication which appeared in the
Montgomery Dispatch and written by Law
renee, who is a correspondent of that paper.
Lawrence asked Edmons to retract the
severe reply he had made to the commune
cation, but Edmons refused. Ascertaining
that Edmons was not armed, Lacey pulled
a revolver and opened fire on him. He was
shot IN the left arm, at the elbow, and seri-
ously wounded, Lacey attempted to shoot
again, but the pistol snapped, which prob
ably saved Edmons life. He then fired on
Messrs. Coppell and Tribney, the former
being shot through the neck, and the latter
receiving two wounds in the head, both be-
ing serious
Lawrence and Lacey were arrested. The
feeling In the city is intense, and talk of
lynching is strong. A mass meeting of
citizens will be held tomorrow, when a
plan OF action will be decided upon.

laborel into the streets to beg for himself
and his children. The House bill, he said
was framed not only to relieve the Treas
ury, but to relieve the people, while the
Senate bill was framed so as to relieve the
Treasury and to increase the burdens of
the people. That is the difference in the
two bills.
Hiscock obtained the floor, and after an
executive session the Senate adjourned.
The House.
WASHINGTON, October Sth. = In the
House to-day, the Senate bill was passed
to provide for the warehousing of fruit
brandy.
The Senate joint resolution was passed
authorizing Brigadier- General Baird to ac-
cept from the President of the French Re-
public diploma comforting the decoration
of the national Order of the Legion of
Honor.
Mason of Illinois asked unanimous con-
sent to the discharge of the Committee on
Banking from the further consideration of
a resolution offered by him some months
ago asking for an investigation of the allie.
cation that national banks to which pub
lie money has been loaned have been
solicited for contributions to the Demo
cratic campaign fund.
A demand for the regular order by Nc
MILAN operated as an objection.
Wheeler of Alabama then addressed the
House on the tariff question.
AT the conclusion of Wheeler's remarks,
IN which he criticised the Senate bill as being
IN the interest of monopolists and detri-
mental to the agricultural industry, the
House adjourned.

a TERRIBLE TRAGEDY.
Murder, Arson and Suicide in an Indians
Village.

Village.
INDIANAPOLIS, October 8th.-At Knights
town this morning, about 2 O'Clock, the
frame dwelling n. b. Wade, occupied by
Mrs. Sarah Hoggins, her mother, and Mrs
Martha Gates, situated south of the rail-
road, was discovered on fire. After break
ing open the door Wade was found uncon-
scious at his mothers bed He was taken
out, but died in a few minutes. His
mother was dead before taken out. Mrs.
Gates was not found until her limbs were
burned OIL, and she died in a short time.
A shoe-knife covered with blood and a
bottle of Paris green were taken from
Wade's pocket and the indications are that
he murdered the two women and then sui
cided. There is testimony before the Cor
oner tending to substantiate this theory.
Mrs. Gates was the widow of a soldier
and resided with Mrs. Hoggins, who had
reared her from q child In 1875 Matte
Gates was granted 81 400 arrearage of PEN
sion and regular pension of $40 month.
Wade illegally assumed her guardianship
and appropriated the money to his own
credit. Recently she complained to a
Grand Army post of her treatment by
Wade and legal guardian appointed and
IL was found out that Wade had appropri
ated her money.
To-day Wade would have been compelled
to account for the money, and it is pre-
sumed he had been brooding over the mat
