MANACLES AND FILTH
A Bad State of Affairs in the Kansas
City Workhouse.


KANSAS CITY, Mo-, March 9.-The charge
made by Alderman Ford concerning the
frightful condition of the prisoners cone
fined in the workhouse is found to be truej
Two reporters of the Times investigated
the matter yesterday and they find that
about seventy-five male prisoners are
crowded into narrow and filthy cells, reek-
ing with vermin, and not provided with
sanitary regulations. Men are constantly
manacled with shackles weighing from five
TO thirteen pounds, and are therefore pre-
vented from bathing. Two of the prison
ers said they had not taken bath for two
months.
TALL MEN IN SHORT CELLS.
Many of the cells are feet long and in
some of them are confined men feet tall.
Over these seventy-ive prisoners there are
two guards. The guards say that on ac-
count of the desperate character Of the men
it is necessary to shackle them to prevent
their escape so long as they alone have to
guard them and they remain in
their present quarters. The building
is of wood and the partitions are thin. The
committee appointed to investigate the mat
ter will report at to-morrow's council meet
ing. 1t is thought likely that q new brick
prison will be erected provided with proper
sanitary regulations and sufficient number
of guards TO watch the prisoners to do away
with the shackles.

The McComas and Hoar Bills Undergo
ing Careful Scrutiny
WASHINGTON, March 9.--hiuch study
and thought are being given to the consti-
tutional question as to whether congress
has the power to regulate the dstricting of
states. The McComas and Hoar bills are
being carefully scanned by members of
both parties. Mr.. McComas has expressed
his opinions on the subject to the effect
that re resentation in congress should not
be affected by the shifting of majorities in
the states. The majority Of tho democrats
in the House point to Stephen A. Douglas,
able expounding Of the constitution on this
point, in which he insisted that the power
the constitution gave to congress was
merely permissive and could only be exer-
cised If the legislatures failed to make some
provision for the election Of national rep
resentatives.
ALTOGETHER TOO INGENIOUS.
The McComas bill Is a most ingenious
measure, and it is predicted that its very
ingenuity is sufficient to defeat 1t. The
points that the Wickham and Hoar bill left
unprotected are carefully covered by num-
berless paragraphs preceded by''in case. nfhe
clerk Of the House is given almost llmitless
power in the preparation of the roll. The
confusion resulting from the passage of
this measure would be great, particularly
in Ohio and Maryland, foe whose benefit
the bill was framed.

Herald speaking Of it says =

A SOCIAL SENSATION
Why a Wedding Did Not
Occur at Seattle.
BOGUS PRATT FOR PRESENTS
The Groom Confronted With His
Rascality an Hour Before
the Ceremony.

SEATTLE, Oct. 23.-The wedding bo-
tween prominent young lady OF Seat
tie and the son OF IA wealthy merchant OF
Sacramento, which was to have occurred
to-day, has been indefinitely postponed
ON account OF The unexpected disclosure
of the villainous plans of the young
man who was to figure as groom. This
young man has left the city. The young
lady is almost broken hearted over the
turn of events. and several victims
mourn the loss of various sums OF
money.
Two weeks ago Charles H. Winerich,
wealthy wine merchant OF Sacramento,
Cal, arrived in the city and stopped at
the Arlington hotel, kept by n. Morse.
Morse had been acquainted with the
young man for a long time, and had
known his father for thirty years.
Winerich at once ingratiated himself
into the good graces oil the family, and
paid particular attention to Miss Rosina
A. Morse. daughter of the hotel-keeper.
She had known him at school, but had
not kept close track of him for several
years. He finally proposed to marry
and she accepted, and the preacher was
to have performed the ceremony to-day.
Several days ago young Winerich fell
in with Frank Clayton, clerk in Bayes
jewelry store and upon Clay toms In
dorsement he secured credit for 81, O0C
worth of jewelry Tor wedding presents.
These he had sent up to Mrs. Morse
with cards representing that they came
from his friends. He gave in payment
"a draft drawn on the First National
bank of Sacramento for 81, 600, and rep
resented that his father was then ut the
Rainier hotel. MIR. Baye telephoned and
] found out that the elder WInerich was
not at the hotel, ana on tclegraphing to
Sacramento learned that the young man
did not have cent in the bank. De-
tectives were put to work on the case,
and MIR. Baye confronted the young
man Just before the hour set for the
wedding, and after some warm urging
secured the presents, except about $3.50
| worth. WineTich was put on board the
boat to-day and told to get out of town
to avoid arrest. The story has been
kept very quiet and Is not made public
yet Winerich was once greatly re-
spected in sacramento, and was travel
ing for his fathers house. He went to
the bad several years ago and then re-

LOST THE BUsINEsB BATTLE.
The Causes Given by banker Creigh-
ton for Suicide.

New YoRK, Oct 22.-Blukely Creigh-
ton, the banker of ~ Broadway, was
this morning found dead in his office,
having shot himself during the night.
The body was cold and rigid when
found, death having evidently occurred
some hours before. The dead man lay
on the sofa with a revolver, with an
empty chamber, at his side. On tina
Office. able lay several letters addressed 60
his wife, ana his partner IL. Brigham
An open letter addressed to "All whom
it may concern" read as follows: II

made II square fight, but lost. My BRAN
has given way and now my body must
go. Please break the news gently to my
wife,"
George Crosby, cashier, said: "I left
him at the office yesterday afternoon
happy, and have never seen anything in
his conduct to indicate thar he was
low spirited. So far as know, his ac-
counts are all right. He had no imam
cial difficulties, | think"
The autopsy developed the fact that
death was not caused by the bullet, but
poison. A large quantity of morphine
was found in his stomach. Apparently
| he had swallowed so much that IL pro.
duced hsmorrhage. 1t was this that

CRUEL SPEAKER REED.
He Points Out the Inconsist-
ency of Democracy.
IMMENSE MEETING IN CHICAGO
Accommo dations for the Largest
Political Meetings We're
Doubled.

CHICAGO, Oct. 24.-This afternoon
Speaker Reed held a reception at the
Union League Club to members of the
club, and was afterward banquetted
there. Accommodation for the largest
political gatherings in Chicago had to be
doubled to-night to mako room for the
throng that attempted to hear Speaker
Reed. The doors were locked at Battery
ID armory fully an hour before the be-
ginning of the meeting, aud oyer 6. 600
people were then inside, while hundreds
were patiently waiting in the Second
Regiment armory, next door, where the
overflow meeting was held.
When several hundred members Of the
Union Veteran Association, with BAN
ners flying, entered the hall as an escort
to Reed, remarkable enthusiasm was
manifested. He was accompanied by
Senators Farwell and Cullom, and Con-
gressmen Mason, Adams and Butter
worth, and many other well known gen
tlemen.
Mr.. Reed spoke at length on the
election question, Mckinley bill and the
work of the present congress. Contrast
ing the two great parties he said
the republican party achieves, the
democratic party finds fault. Not
having anything to do, 1t follow:
that democrats are under the necessity y
of being consistent. Tho democratic
platform has an advantage over the re-
publican in its method of argument
that of simplicity. They simply have
to pass on what the republicans do and
frr oil ha lei nF a.
world by means of the acts OF the repub
lican party.
The speaker further asserted that
there is not a single thing the repu blic-
can party has done that has not within
two to i've years received either tn,
tacit or vociferous approval of the de
mocracy. In view of this he though
we need not tremble for the future

WAS IT AN OPERATION?
A Mystery Surrounding the Death OF
MIR. Hopkins.

OLYMPIA, Oct. 24.-Much talk has
been created by the death of ]. NJ. Hop
kins, of this city, who was buried yes
terday. The Tribune stated that DR..
Flanagan had performed an operation,
and that blood poisoning had set in. DR..
Flannigan positively denied having
performed any operation, but IL has
been learned positively that DR.. Flanni-
gan used his knife upon the person of
MIR Hopkins at the hospital, cutting
him in such manner that he expected
pus to flow from the incision made by
the lance, instead of which but little
vinous blood flowed. Blood poisoning
then followed.
Miss Rebecca Henry. daughter of the
city treasurer, who was sent for at the
hospital to write letters dictated by Mr.
Hopkins, has written n communication
corro ooratlng the statements printed,
in which she says; II am not sui
liciently versed IN physic to know what
doctors term operation but do know,
on Monday at 4 o'clock Mr.. Hopkins
said to me, They have performed an
operation and have cut me all TO
pieces" Willis Hopkins, son OF tho
deceased stated that his fathers death
was very strange and was surrounded

Pullman Republicans Greet

PULLMAN, Oct. Ex-senator John Il.
Allen, whom Pullman always delights
to honor, spoke to largo audience here
last night. A large bonfire was built in
front of the hall, which illuminated the
street and afforded light for our juvenile
band, which discoursed some stirring
national airs before the meeting opened.
Mr.. Allen spoke with the deliberate
clearncss and logical dignity character
istic Of him, and made u strong speech
in support Of the late republican meas
ures, particularly the silver and tariff
legislation. Tho reciprocity question
was more clearly and satisfactorily stated
by Mr.. Allen than Is usually heard or
read, he bringing out the fact that when
the tariff had been removed from GER
tain necessities not produced in this
country, an export duty had been placed
upon them by the countries producing
them equal to that taken oil by us,
which kept the price on those articles
unchanged. Reciprocity is to give us
these articles free of duty export or i'm
port, and market for our products and
manufactures. Strong points were made
by Mr.. Allen on the tariff legislation on
sugar and tin, and high tributes were
paid James G. Blaine, Governor Ferry
and John l.. Wilson.
