HARRISBURG, Pa, Oct. 14.-Messrs.
Fow and Skinner, two of the three mi
nority members Of the legislative inves-
tlgating committee who had been en-
gagged in examining the affairs of the
auditor-general and state treasHrer's
Office, today filed their protest against
the preliminary report of the majority
committee They dissent from the re-
port OF the majority for the reason that
the committee had not, in their judg-
ment, concluded its labors, and more
especially because of the abrupt manner
IN which the proceedings were discon-
tlnued; that a more searching and
exhaustive examination should be made
without limit as to individuals or time,
and that the conclusions regarding the
official conduct OF State Treasurer Boyer
and Auditor-General McCamant were
not warranted by the resolutions under
which the committee is acting. 1t is
contended by the minority that the
methods Of conducting the business of
the two Offices under investigation
should be reformed, and in the sugges-
tlons of the majority on this subject
they coincide. In conclusion the mi
nority declare that the auditor-general's
conduct of the system of mercantile
appraisements has been grossly ineffi-
Cient.

A BIG DEMOCRATIC GUN
FIRED BY THE DEMOCRACY OF
KINGS COUNTY.
Grover Cleveland Helps to Shoot 1t Off.
Three Cheers Given for the Next
President of the United States"-A
Crank shoots Off His Mouth.

New YORK, Oct. 14.-The Democracy
OF Kings county turned cut in force to
aid in firing the first big Democratic gun
in the present campaign in this county.
When Grover Cleveland entered Cler-
mont rink, accompanied by Hon. w. H.
Furry, the audience went wild. When
it was reduced to order, Mr.. Cleveland
was introduced and was greeted with
'Three cheers for our next president. ;"
Mr.. Cleveland, after acknowledging the
greetings, made speech OF some length,
calling the attention of his hearers to
the Importance of the campaign and
scoring the Republican party. THAT
party" he said, Sin its national methods
and management boldly seeks to thwart
the intention of the voters if they are
Democratic, and to stiae the voice of
the people if they speak in Democratic
tones"
He touched on the force bill, and asked
if there is any Democrat so dull as to
suppose the Republican party in the
state is not of the same disposition as
the party in the nation. He charged the
Republicans with unfairness and evasion
of the requirements of the constitution
in regard to the enumeration and legis-
lative apportionment of the state. He
said if the Republicans get control OF the
next arrangement of congressional dis
tricts, there is no likelihood of their
dealing fairly by the Democracy of the
state.
In conclusion Mr.. Cleveland said in
relation to the pending canvass: Every
Democrat who likes his country and his
party must acknowledge the important
services rendered by the representatives
of Kings county in aiding the formulation
of the declaration of financial principles
in the platform which the Democracy
presents to the voters of the state, which
leaves no room to doubt our insistance
upon sound and honest money for all
the people"
At the conclusion of the ex-president's
speech an old gray-haired man arose
upon his seat and yelled out: "Mr.
Cleveland, did you get my letter? What
have you done toward preserving life
and preventing death from collisions on
the railroads? What have"-
The rest of the sentence was lost amid
the Kisses which greeted the old man,
who was hustled unceremoniously out,
protesting against them for depriving
him of the right of free speech.

hours, was out eleven hours under full
steam, and was then compelled to put
back without making the trip. All
communication with the continent has
been retarded to an extent never
equalled. A coal-laden steamer ground
ed off Hollywood, where, beyond the
reach of aid, the cargo took fire, burn
ing the vessel to the waters edge.
The gale also traversed France, but in
much milder form. Trees and Chin
neys were more or less damaged in Paris,
and the Rhone and other rivers, partic-
ularly in Southern France, overfowed
their banks, doing considerable damage
to crops and houses, chiefly in the
neighborhood of Lyons.
A telegram from Folkestone says
steamer was sighted off that port in dis
tress, but the local life-boat crew was
unable to reach her, owing to the heavy
sea, and it is feared the steamer will be-
come a total wreck.

New YORK, Oct. 14.-President San
ford, of the Adams Express company,
who was yesterday elected to succeed
Hoey, took possession of the affairs Of
the company this morning He is in
vestigating the status of the business.
No changes of officers or agents is con-
templated at present.
Vice-President Lovejoy said disappro-
priations have been found aside from the
Sherbourn- Taft deal. He refused to give
further details at present, but added
that there is no telling what the future
will develop, and it will be some time
next week before he could tell how much
the ex-president had taken from the
company. He does not think however,
that it will reach sufficient magnitude
to in any way affect the value OF the
stock.
The morning papers state that ex
President Hoey sold out all his Adams
express stock before he entered into the
deal which has cost him his position.
