MK1NLEY AT cosHocroN.
Five Thousand People Stand in the Rain to
Listen to the Major.

Listen to the Major.
CosHocToN, Sept. -[Special. A
monster Republican meeting was held in
this city to-day. Fully 5000 people were
here to greet Major Mckinley. The
weather was threatening, but 1t did
not seem to dampen the ardor of the
Republicans of old Coshocton. The
Major accompanied by Captain W.
T. Cope, candidate for State Treasurer,
arrived early this morning The meeting
was held at the handsome residence of Mr..
Houston Hoy, as the County Commissioners
do not allow public meetings to be held in
the public square. The Major spoke an
hour and half. and ably handled the
silver and tariff questions. He also devoted
part of his speech to some questions pro-
pounded to him by the Democratic STANDARD.
He answered the questions ably and in such
a way that they caused considerable amnse-
ment While he was speaking, a heavy
shower came up, but the crowd stood
through the rain, and the Major did not
stop speaking.
Probably the most interested listener in
the audieuce was the elder brother of Major
Mckinley, who arrived on the morning
train from the West He is resident Of
San Francisco, and left home when six
years old for the West, and has only seen
his brother few times. He looks like the
distinguished champion of protection, but
has many more gray hairs. He sat back on
the porch, and but few people in the
audience knew that he was present.

CHAPLIN's CATTLE ORDERS

They Are Giving Much Offense to Ship
owners Over in England.
rBT CABLE TO THE DIsPATCH.l
LONDON, Sept. 5,-Objection is taken by
some of the leading shipowners to the new
order issued by Mr.. Chaplin for the regula-
tion of the transatlantic cattle trade, in
reference to the clause which requires that
the stanchions of each pen shall be securely
fastened to the deck by means of iron sock
cts. They allege that this requirement in
the case of iron decks may have the effect of
weakening the decks and also of allowing
leakage from the cattle pens to damage val
liable cargo stored in the lower holds. On
more general grounds shippers think the
order is premature and likely to prove of
very limited value.
They base this opinion upon the fact that
the loading of cattle is all conducted in
American ports; that no sufficient time has
yet been allowed to test the efficiency of
the new regulations imposed by the United
States Government and that no official ac-
tion in any case can be taken in England
until after the cattle have been landed un-
der the supervision of the customs, by
which time the fittings of vessels may have
been removed or a commencement made
with getting In q fresh cargo.

Taken for n Hebrew in Russia and His
Passport Held Back on Him.
tBT CABLE TO THE DIsPArCH.1
LONDON, Sept. 5.-General Benjamin
Butterworth, Major Moses P. Handy and
Messrs. Peck and Bullock, comprising the
Worlds Fair Promotion Commission in
Europe, sailed to-day on the Augusta Vic
toria, after most successful tour of Europe.
Major Handy has only one sad recollection
of the trip. The commission travelled 5000
miles in Russia alone, and at each town
where they remained over hight their pass
ports were taken up at their hotels when
they arrived and returned to them upon
leaving.
At Moscow there was a long delay when
the hour for departure came. As the pass
ports of the commission were not forthcom-
ing. strenuous efforts were made by Butter
worth and Handy to ascertain the cause of
the detention of these documents, and it
finally transpired that some wise person
had discovered that Major Handy's first
name was Hebrew one and had communi-
Gated this information to the police. After
several hours delay the Major was enabled
to demonstrate that he was Christian.
The passports were returned and the COM
missioner went on his way rejoicing.

The Selection of a Site for Anegheny's Pub
lie Building Unsettled.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 5.-[Specid. 8. Mr.
T. H. Baird Patterson, of Allegheny, called
on Assistant Secretary Cronse this after
noon with new proposition in regard to
the Stockton avenue site for the Allegheny
postofice. He was anxious that Judge
Cronse should forego the important formal
ity of requiring guaranteed bond that the
property could be acquired for certain
sum, feeling assured that it could be so ac-
quired, but desiring to be relieved of the
burden of furnishing the bond.
Judge Cronse informed him that he did
not think it would be advisable to make
such an experiment. While of course the
Government could withdraw at any time, it
would not be fair to property holders to
impress them with the conviction that they
were to be dislodged and unsettle their
business, without positive assurance that
the land would become the property of the
Government. Judge Cronse thinks that if
Mr.. Patterson is so sure of his prices he
should have no hesitation in furnishing the
bond, and so this latest conference on the
subject amounts to nothing.

Enormous Work Laid Out for This Session

dar, which was completed last night by
Deputy Warden Sofel, showing more cases
term of court. There are 180 prisoners now
awaiting trial. The cases against them
humber ZIG. There are 16 to be tried for
murder, for accessory to murder and for
manslaughter. Among the murder cases is
that off. c. Fitzsimmons and his wife Lucy,
for the murder of Detective Gilklnson,
and Charles and Emma Clark as accessories
after the fact. 1t will likely be taken up
next week. Frank Gerade, who was con-
victed of murder in the first degree for
killing his stepdaughter, but was granted
new trial by the Supreme Court, is await
ing his second trial. James 8. Ward is
also awaiting trial for the murder of an old
woman in Westmoreland county IL years
ago: He served term in the penitentiary
for killing one woman, but her. sister, whom
he assaulted at the same time, having died
in this county he is to be tried for killing
her. Another case which will attract gen.
eral attention is that of Holmes Anderson,
who is accused of the murder of John
Gunsoulis at West Liberty Falls last April.
A strong chain of circumstantial evidence
has been woven about him, but as yet there
has been no direct evidence.
To the murder cases on the calendar an
other will probably be added. Daniel Rear
don is now in Jail on a charge of murder for
shooting Polish boy in tunnel under the
Pennsylvania Railroad, near Twenty
street. He is awaiting the finding of the
Coroner's jury. The other offenses loom up
with large number of cases, and District
Attorney Burleigh will have busy time.

week, is at home tonight In answer to a
reporter he said: "I shall be pleased to
make authoritative statements for publica-

this city the past week"
els there any truth in the published re-
port that you were in conference with anti
Hill men from different parts of the
State?"
York State who are not fond of Governor
Hill have no doubt seen some of them. ="
cat that conference were you asked to
permit the use of your name for Governor
on any independent ticket?"
L have authorized no one to say what my
intentions are; neither have confdef to
any one what they are?"
SIS it true that a convention of represent
atives from the labor unions of the State
have agreed to nominate you for Governor
and Mr.. Peck, of Hornellsville, for Lieu
tenant Governor"
"Not as far as know"
"Have you and Mr.. Bissel, of Buffalo,
had an interview relative to your nomina-
tion upon an independent ticket?"
81 think would rather have you ask Mr..
Bissell about that?"
''Is it true that you and the officers Of the
labor unions of the State have had confer
ence during the week."
81 have met labor people during the week,
and met them most every day."
"Is it true that you have had conference
with Governor Hill during the week, by his
request, at which you were requested to al
low your name to be used for second place
on the ticket7'
81 do not intend to attend the Democratic
Convention in any form whatever. Neither
have / solicited the support of any dele
gates for any position on the State ticket,
knowing full we'll that the convention
would be entirely under the control of Gov
ernor HILL Therefore I considered it use
less to endeavor to control the
nomination in INV behalf. I am perfectly
willing to leave the result to the counties,
whether or not faithful service to the State
and loyalty to the party is to be ignored
and a notice served on all Republican
oficeholders that for the better service they
rendered this is the reward they are likely
to get"
'tIf your candidacy in the Democratic
Convention for Governor is defeated, will
you accept a nomination on an Independent
ticket?"
81 have heard good deal said about this
Independent ticket in the papers, and I
have known a good many instances where
men said they would and would not, and
have acted exactly opposite to their express.

man McGarey. The Squire refused to hear
the case, and for this reason it was made in

represented the prosecution, and Franklin
l. Gosser was attorney for the defendant
Nau was placed on the stand and testified
to the date upon which he was shot and
where he was, but he could not name his
assailant. On cross-examination by Attor-
ney Gosser, Nau admitted to Alderman
Beinhauer and asking for settlement in
the first case. After this Jacob Stein and

scene at the time of the shooting, were
placed on the stand

Both boys said they were positive the
young man was Cappert as he had Flobert

because of the peculiar manner in which he
runs
William Purdy and John Williams testi-
fed to having talked with Cappert some
time last spring when he, Cappert, threat
ened to "get square" with Nsu for assault
ing him over some trifing matter about
which they differed. Attorney Cotton asked
the Alderman to hold the case for court, as
he thought there was sufficient evidence,
and, according to the act of Assembly, it
was not necessary to hear the side of the
defense.
Attorney Gosser asked that his side Of
the case be heard, as he had one witness
which would vindicate Cappert beyond ali
doubt. This witness, he said, was George
Metz, who was present at the hearing for
the purpose of making a confession to hav-
ing done the shooting. Attorney Cotton
still objected to hearing the defense after
quite a wrangle with Attorney Gosser.
Alderman McGarey decided not to hear the
defense, and held Cappert in $500 bail for
court.
When the hearing was over a man named
John Donnel said he knew something about
the matter in that he saw Metz fire the
shot which injured Nau.
