Presidential Possibilities of 1899
-Alger or Blaine-Reed and
Mckinley Postponed.

CHICAGO, Nov. lo.-Hon. John NJ.
Thurston, of Omaha, president of the
republican league clubs of the United
states, in an interview here to-day ON
the recent election said, referring to the
influence of the Mckinley bill upon the
result; THE natural tendency OF prices
was upward, among which can be named
boots and shoes, iron, lumber and other
commodities. Although the tax was re-
duced upon these and otter things, we
struck rising market with the passing
of the Mckinley bill, and all this is
laid to It,"
Judge Thurston thinks Nebraska and
every other Western state will 90 re-
publican In 1892.
II think" said he, there will be a
revival of stalwsrtism in the republican
party. such rs will make great repub-
lican year. Republican workers, all over
the country, did not take an active part
in this campaign. They felt as though
their services to the republican party
had been undervalued but in 1892 those
persons will be at work in support OF
some candidate who will arouse enthu.
siasm, and these very men will lead 70
victory az heretofore. The result Of the
recent elections has not put an end to
the presidential booms of William Nc
kinley or Thomas b. Reed, but it has
probably postponed their dates. Blaine
or Alger would be winners at the head

Relief Committee on Irish
Famine Statement.
GOVERNMENT PUBLIC WORKS
Advice of Irish Political Delegates
That Aid Would Be a Dis
turbing Element.

New YORK. Nov. 10.-The American
committee for the relief of famine In
Ireland has issued "a public statement
announcing that 1t temporarily with
draws its appeal to the American peo-
lie. The statement says that while at
the time the appeal was issued there
was no reason for believing the distress
would be relieved otherwise than by
American generosity, the British gov
ernment has since been spurred to in
vestigate the matter, and to undertake u
system of public works in the distressed
districts, which by atiording partial re-
lief will, ut least, postpone famine. The
committee has good reasons to believe
that this sudden activity on the part of
the British government Is largely due to
the prompt sympathy and support
spontaneously offered from thisiountry.
1t accordingly congratuiates the Ameri-
can people on having secured for the
sufferers in Ireland substantial hope OF
relief without the expenditure of dol
lar.
1t has also been represented by the
visiting Irish delegates that II would
produce an interfering element In Irish
politics If aid in any shape should be
sent to Ireland by any charitable agency
before the present resources of the i'm
periled peasants twere exhausted. The
situation of political parties in Ireland
Is peculiar and the committee is strenu-
ously anxious to avoid creating new
complications by interference of any
sort. These statements Of accredited
80 q I-ta IL. Al.
entitled to consideration so long as there
is no immediate danger of actual suffer-
ing by famine. When that point is
reached, If it comes, the committee will,
with the full approval of the Irish lead
ers, renew IT'S appeal. The crisis will
come about the close Of the year and it
will be then apparent whether the
pledges Of the British goyernmen are to
be kept and whether relief measures
provided under its auspices will be ad-
eQuate.

KANSAS CRY. Nov. 10.-A most re-
markable romance came to light to-day.
Twenty-Five years ago two babies, a
brother and sister, were abandoned in
Castle Garden by their parents. They
were adopted by different people. The
girl lived with her foster mother, Mrs.
Evans, in Philadelphia. The boy, who
was adopted by u man named Barr, grew
up, learned u trade, and went to Phila-
delphia. There he met Miss Evans,
with whom he fell in love, and in duo
course of time they married and came to
Kansas City to live. A couple of years
ago Mrs. Evans died and soon after a
relative in Canada died, leaving q large
fortune. Detectives. in searching for
Mrs. Evans adopted child, discovered
the story and told 1t to Mr.. and Mrs.
Barr. No issue had resulted from the
marriage. Legal steps will at once be
taken to annul 1t, and the brother and
sister will then take possession of the

THE STRAIN TOO GREAT
Broker Struthers Dies Sud-
denly on Change.
A SENSATION ON THE FLOOR
Recess Taken, and Traders I'm
prove the Time to Make Up
Their Accounts.

New YoRK, Nov. 10.-To-day, while
ousily engaged upon the floor of the
stock exchange, James Struthers, q mem.
Der, dropped dead.
The event caused terrible excitement
tor time. Business was entirely sus-
pended, and all was quiet where but II
moment before was noisy wrangling.
The body of the man was lifted up and
carried away, the members dotiing their
hats reverently as the bearers passed.
Apoplexy was the cause of death.
Struthers breathed his last shortly after
being stricken. He had been laboring
under great excitement al the morning.
S,ruthers dead body lay on the floor,
surrounded by brokers, for some time.
Not word was spoken, but the brokers
with uncovered heads waited for the otil-
cials to act. Business was at once sus-
pended, but on account OF the situation
to-day they could rdt close tho ex-
change.
Mr.. Struthers had entered few min
utes before and was noticed to be acting
in Il very singular manner. He stag
gered up against one or two brokers and
suddenly fell forward on his face, dying
in a few minutes. Struthers was seri
ously Ill two years ago, and has not been
himself since. Friends noticed recently
that he had not been looking well, and
the doctors said the excitement of to-day
was undoubtedly too much for him.
struthers was 90 years old and leaves
a wife and young daughter. Sharp to
the minute of 12:3o exactly, after the
l.. l.. - i.
ident mounted the rostrum and made
the official announcement of the unfort-
innate brokers' death. He had hardly
stepped down from the plat form before
there was u rush and shout and business
was once more resumed on the door.
This scene was Characteristic of the mar
ket to-day. When the death was first
announced score OF brokers, without
waiting TO hear anything about it,
rushed off in made haste to make what
use they could of the time in making up
their accounts.

GOULD'S OPINION.
Now IL the Timo to BUY stocks to
Make Money,

NEW York, Nov. 10.-Jay Gould was
asked this afternoon to give his views
in regard to the recent fall Of prices in
in Wall street. Gould said There OF
course is, as anyone can sec by looking
at prices, u very great depression, but
there's no doubt the market would have
righted itself If the trouble in London
had not come up. SO far as know any
thing about different properties, espe-
cialIy those that am interested in, they
are all right, and there is no reason for
the present low prices. | suppose six
months from now we shall look back
upon these prices, and, comparing them
with prices then, will say How ridic-
ulously low they were.' History re-
peats itself. | have seen within the last
few days very good evidence of the
amount Of money going into Wall street
to buy stocks principally not on mar
gin but outright. THIS amount is likely
to increase, AID when 1t gets 80 that
buyers are more numerous than sellers
the market will turn. Railroads are all
doing very well. There is u large report
freight going on, and being carried at
better rates. and all the roads have a
better understanding with each other
than for many years.

BERLIN, Nov. s.-Chancellor Won Ca
privi, who has been visiting Milan, this
morning received a doputation of Ger.
man residents of the city, who presented
an address. In replying the chancellor
spoke In terms OF unofficial franknoss
OF the objects and results of his meeting
with the Italian prime minister. He
congratulated the visitors upon living in
beautiful country, which was the csn-
ter of art interest, and which was under
government that was linked with that
OF Germany by a policy of peace. His
interview with Signor Crispi, he said,
cemented and perfected tho entente OF
courtesy. He had no anxiety as to tho
immediate future, and was confident
peace would be maintained for q long
time to come.
Tho chancellor did not go to tho
length of disclosing the issue to the dis
cusslon of Slgnor Crisprs demand that
the Emperor of Austria return King
llumberts visit by going 10 Rome.
The relations between the Italian court
and the government of Austria nave

He now insists upon Austrian recog-

An official belief here is that Chancellor

soothe Signor Crispi and King Humbert
by q promise that the Emperor Of
Austria would go to Rome in the spring.
Communications from Count Kalnoky,
Austro-Hungarian prime minister, re-

reception in Rome as necessary for the
continuance of the triple alliance.
Caprivps remarks indicate that the

Reports that the chancellor favored
combined reprisals against the United
States because of the Mckinley bill are
unfounded. Austrian papers are still
honkering after retaliation, although

Time TO Buy.

NEW York, Nov. 10.-A flood of alarm
ing cables from London ana Paris, pre-
dieting disasters In the markets there
this week, has caused u panicky feeling
In the stock exchange here. Long before
the opening to-day brokers tried to make
sales of stocks, but could not find buyers,
and as soon as the signal for beginning
business was given no offers were made,
but every bid, no matter at what price
was filled. This selling caused Manhat-
tan elevated TO fall from leo To 02, "A de-
cline Of per cent. Western Union fell
5Is, and other stocks, with the exception
OF the Nanderbilts, fell from to o..
There were no buying orders in many of
the specialties.
The stock market this morning showed
the utmost dem morali2ation and, follow
ing the lead of London figures, prices
were extremely low. The declines since
Saturday afternoon are the largest ever
seen over night. Drops OF from to 8 u
covered the whole active list, There was
more of a pahicky feeling than has been
noticed AT any time during the present
decline. Stocks were thrown over in IA
most reckless manner, causing most
feverish and unsettled market, with a
steady decline In values. Even after Il
heavy opening further declines of from /
to per cent. were scored, the most
prominent movement being drop in
Manhattan, which after opening off 4
per cent. at SO retired per cent. further
to 92 in the irst few minutes after trad.
ing began.
Other noticeable losses were per
cent. in Western Union, pa in Pull
man and in almost ali the active stocks
material amounts. Trading reached
enormous figures, but, while the bottom
seemed TO have dropped out OF the mar.
ket, there came more quiet feeling
toward the end of all hour and some
stock actually recovered a portion of
their early losses. The market, how
ever, rcma ned in an extre inely feyerish,
unsettled condition, and at IL O'Clock,
while less active, 1t was weak, at or near
the lowest price lor most stock.
On Wall street at noon money was
tight. There were no offers and but
fifteen bids. After IL o. clock the heavy
pressure WAS removed from tho stock

continued to come upon the market ana

Changers, Willard and New Englanders
were the chief sufferers in the decline.
The market displayed no recuperatiYe
power, and at noon was active but weak.

AMERICAN CATTL Z
Pleuro-Pneum onia Entirely
Eradicated.
NO CASE KNOWN IN SIX MONTHS
Secretary Rusk on British Charges
OF Diseased American Live
Stock.

WAsHISGToN, Nov. 1O.-The attention
OF Secretary Rusk WAS to-day called to a
report by cable, in which the Births IA
minister OF agriculture is represented as
opposing the removal of restric tions OF
the British government on live cattle
from the United States. The secretary
said Chaplain was taking the side OF
those whose interests led them to OPP
pose free introduction of American store
cattle and seemed to forget that this
country had abundance, that there ex-
lists among the purchasers OF store cat
tie in England and Scotland wide
spread feeling in favor OF the unre.
s,ricted Importation of cattle from this
country, provided they can be allowed
with periect'safety to British cattle.
The secretary construes the resolution
recently adopted by the agricultural
council to mean that it is simply a
question of time when the British gov
ernment will feel obliged to remove the
restrictions from any country which
can show conclusively that disease has
been eradlcated.
Just as soon as sufficient time has
in my opinion, elapsed since the last
case of pluero-pnoumonia occurs in
this country, | shall strive to satisfy
the British government that tho disease
does not exist here. If this does not
secure the withdrawal of these re-
strictions, England will have to, at
least, abandon the charge OF unhealth-
fulness of our cattle as the cause. There
are buyers, as well as sellers, abroad,
and they will probably see to it that
their interests also receive some
attention.
Referring to Secretary Chnplain's as
sertion that pleuro- ro-pneumonia still cx-
listed here Secretary Rusk said II
un nhesitatingly challenge Chaplain to
point out single case of pleuro-
pneumonia now existing among Ameri-
can cattle. OF course | can't tell what
his source of information is, but what
ever it is he is grievously misled. One
thing IL certain, and that is, nowhere,
ak months since, have any allegations
been made by British officers of the
discovery of pleuro-pneumonia among
cattle from the United States landed in
Great Britain"

FINANCIAL REFORM IS NEEDED
1t Is the Necessity of the Hour

WAsHtSGToN, Nov. S.--President Polk,
of the National Farmers Alliance, is
very jubilant over the result of the cleo
tions. In an interview to.day he said !;
''The democrats and republicans are
claiming everything just now, but when
they come to eft the chatf from the
wheat they will find the Farmers Alli-
ance had something to do with electing

will have seats in the next congress, Up
to the present time 1t 10 certain that
congress will contain thirty eight
straight alliance men, and there are
twelve or fifteen more who nre pledged
to US. These men are from the South
and Northwest, the two sections in
which the rrost OF work was done. The
alliance In Nebraska, Minnesota, and
Iowa is not our organization, and is not
amalgamated with us, but IL made the
same fight, and will join us this winter.
Our alliance will cooperate with any
farmers association, and In . little
while will have a grip ON the situation
in almost every corner of the land. We
are hero to stay. This great reform
movement will not cease until II has
impressed itself indelibly in the nations
history.

must come. The press and the voices of
stump speakers were our only assistance.
The alliance has no campaign fund; no

use 1t. The principles upon which the
alliance Is founded are solid and correct.
We must succeed. This tight was no small
affair Extremists of both parties at
tackled us bitterly and gave us no inch
of ground. In tho South 1t was the dem.

and Atchison rose to 2S1s. Another raj
ly occurred shortly after IL.
The rush to sell after the recess caused
by Struthers' death caused the lowest

tion of the selling orders, which then
appeared, number of brokers who had
been heavy sellers in early dealings
tui ned and bought heavily. \ rally was
