ENDORSED THE TICKET.

Ex-Presfdent Cleveland Notices a Family
Event in Supporting the New York Demo-
cratic Ticket.
NEW YORK, Oct. 1.-THE democratic
club Of the city of New York rendered
a reception to Hon. Roswell p. Flower,
the democratic candidate for governor,
last evening in the club house, GIT Fifth
avenue. 1t was a notable gathering of
the prominent democratic citizens of
the metropolis, including ex-President
Grover Cleveland
In response to the cries for a speech
Mr.. Cleveland said: Probably you
are of the opinion that 1 have been
more interested the past few days with
non-voter than l am with actual
politics, Laughter and applause.l
regret to say that the non-voter won't
be able to help the democratic party
until the prohibition against woman
suffrage has been repealed. Re-
newed laughter and applause. |
When 1 come into this home
of democracy, into this demo-
cratic atmosphere, all my enthusiasm
for the principles of our grand party is
awakened and intensified. We are now
entering a contest in which 1 do not
want to be left out This is the time
when every democrat must do his full
duty. Never has there been a time
democrats had a greater incentive to
work for party success.
ct gives me the greatest pleasure to
be able to say that the ticket nominated
merits and should receive the earn
est support of every true democrat
Our success this fall must be attained
by systematic, untiring and intelligent
work. The contest must be won by
personal effort and I hope that every
democrat in city and state will do his
utmost for that success which 1 am
confident we shall obtain"

DEATH OF PARNELL
Unexpected Demise Of the Noted
Irish Leader.
He Had Been Ill For Some Time But His
Friends Concealed the Fact-Brief
Sketch Of His Eventful
Life.

LONDON, Oct S.-Great Britain and
Ireland were startled yesterday by
the utterly unlooked-for announcement
that Charles Stewart Parnell. the noted
Irish leader, had died suddenly Tuesday
night at his home in Brighton. It had
been well known that Mr.. Parnell had
not enjoyed the best of health for years,
and it had been noticed and widely
commented upon that since the OShea
divorce developments became a mat
ter of public notoriety, and since polit-
ical trouble came upon him, the great
Irish member of parliament had grown
thinner and had perceptibly aged in
appearance. But nobody expected to
hear Of his death, and no inkling of his
Illness had reached the newspapers.
Mr. Parnell arrived at his home at
Brighton from Ireland Thursday and
complaiEed of suffering from chill.
On Tie Friday following he was unable
to leave his bed and his regular ply
stefan was summoned.
This consultation of physicians was
resumed on Sunday, when Mr.. Parnell
was found to be in great pain and APP
parently growing weaker every hour.

Otis, the newly-elected alliance con-
gresham from the Fourth Kansas dis

other at par and full legal tender for
debts, both public and private" 1t
provides further for three treasury
funds, the general revenue fund, the
real estate and revenue fund and the
national food and clothing fund. The
second of these funds is for the loaning
of money on land and the third for
loaning money on food and clothing,

Grand Army Men Form q Society to Look
Into Pension Matters.
WASHINGTON, Oct 0.-The Society of
Loyal Volunteers has been organized
in Washington. It is not the intention
of the organization to conflict with any
other. The founders are Grand Army
men who believe that the time has
come for concerted action against the
dishonorable features of the pension
business. The movement, as set forth
in the purposes of the society, lis pure

opposed to one of the best organized,
well managed and wealthy syndlcates
of money makers in this countryside

of this society is to destroy the pension
attorneys business If the people do
not now rally to the support of this eff
fort of the old soldiers to relieve their
honor from the mercenary stain that is
being put upon them by the sophistries
and industry of pension attorneys they

Dayton, who announced that that duty
had been deputed to him by the state
executive committee.
He read a long list of vice-presidents
and secretaries. embracing the names
of most of the leading democrats. The
list was headed by the name of ex-

dent of the meeting. A committee sent
to escort Mr.. Cleveland to the stage
soon reappeared conducting him.
Tumultuous applause greeted the ap-
pearance of the democratic ex-presi-
dent In all parts of the hall men
stood up and waved their hats, cheered,
clapped hands and stamped the floor
with their canes.
Mr.. Cleveland's speech was frequent
ly interrupted by applause. The APP
plause was especially enthusiastic when
he spoke of extortionate taxation and
the defeat the republicans sustained at
the last congressional election.
At the conclusion of Mr. Cleveland's
speech Gov. Hill appeared and turning
towards him with bow and then the
audience, Mr.. Cleveland said he had
now to perform a work of usefulness
and superogation, but he did not think
it necessary to say more, and he could
not say less than Gov. Hill was there.
AS Gov. Hill stepped forward to the
reading desk he was greeted by an out
burst of applause similar to and as pro-
longed as that with which Mr.. Cleve-
land was received.
Waiting for the applause to subside
he stood quietly at the reading desk.

that any senator or representative was

BuENos AYREs, Feb, 26.-Additional
advices received here from Chill state
that the bombardmont Of lquique by
the Insurgents was productive of great
loss of life and heavy damages to prop
erty. When the rebels entered the city
they attacked the stores and residences
on six of the principal squares and com
plelely wrecked them. The buildings
afforded shelter 10 large number Of
women and children, but the Insurgents
needless OF the rules governing civilized
warfare, gave them no chance to escape
and pursued their work of destruction
regardless Of the frantic cndeavors Of
the helpless occupants to seek place OF
safety. 1t is known that 200 women and
children persisted in the ruins Of the
sacked buildings.
The insurgent seized the custom
house and then pillaged all the principal
houses in the city. After General Soto,
tie commander of the government
forces had surrendered the city, the
rebel leaders landed more troops from
their vessels for the purposes Of holding
the place and dispatched a force into
the country with the object of meeting
and engaging the government troops.

PORTSMOUTH, Feb. 26,-Great throngs
of people gathered here to see the royal
pageant accompanying the launching OF
the new war ships Portsmouth, Gosport
and their respective neighborhoods were
bedecked with more than the usual gala
attire spread to the breeze upon the oc-
casion of royal visits The fine weather
prevailing added great deal to the en-
ioyment with which was witnessed the
successful launching of the new iron
clads.
The queen launched the iron clads
with the usual ceremonies. According
to report previous to the ceremony while
the queen and the prince of Wales were
standing beneath the bows of one OF the
ships, they quarreled for several minutes.
The queen was imperious in her man
ner and the prince was irritably on the
defensive. Both the queen and the
prince as result of their quarrel had
an apopletic appearance when it tcrml,
mated The cause of the royal quarrel
is believed to have originated in some
triiling breach of etiquette.
