WAsHNGToN, Aug. 25.-The amount of
money which it was alleged New York inn
porters were raising to be spent against
Mckinley is a mere baCatelle TO the sum
which the friends of Senator Sherman
openly boast here will be subscribed by
Eastern capt aliSLS to assist in securing his
reelection. II is asserted that whatever
sum. no matter how large, may in the
opinion of experienced campaiguerS be nee
cSSary viii be forthcoming to elect IeglS-
lature favorable to Sherman. This subject
is daily discussed here by men whose OPP
pOrtunities TO know the Republican plans
and and expectations are exceptionally
good. It seems TO have put them in a most
comfortable frame of mind. They are loud
in their praise of the senator's gencralsh!p
IN disconnecting -himseif from the tariff
part Of the campaign discussion ana all
nouncing in advance that he will conhne his
remarks almost exclusively to the financial
plank of the platform.
They think that by this action he will not
only receive ten times the outside assist
ance he would otherwise receive, but that
his individual campaign will be so much
more national. He has virtually, they de
clare, made two campaigns of it, in one of
which Mckinley and his tariff bill are in
volved, and the other, Sherman and sound
money. \ leading Democrat said here to-
day that he heard that Republican manag-
ers in Ohio expect the largest outside CON
tributions to their campaign fund ever
made in this country. Mchmley's appeal
is to the manufacturers, Sherman'S 10 the
bankers. Between them they expected to

that it would seem that the senator's presi-

the next place. the state OF New Gorh could
not do less than honor that person VINO has

of Goldstein & Nigel His post was in
front of the store, and he usually sat upon
stool near the window. He said he
did not smoke, but was in the
habit Of striking matches on his
trousers and throwing them down.
On the day of the fire ne was in his usual
place. y man passed and he asked. him for
match. which was given him Soon after
wards he Went inside to raise the curtains
OF the window, as the sun would soon be
shining on them. He had been instructed
by Nj. Bogart, the floor walker, TO raise the
curtains when the afternoon sun was on the
windows. He raised one curtain. The
string which worked the other was caught,
and he entered the window TO unfasten it.
As he was coming out of the window he
struck the match on his trousers leg, and
after striking il, threw il down. He be-
ieved the match went out. a bout five
minutes afterwards he heard the cry OF nre,
and saw the blaze i'll the window. he does
not know that the match he threw down
caused it, but he believes It did. He had no
intention of burning the house at the time,
and had never thought of such thing. No
one had ever suggested the idea to him, and
since the fire he had not told what he
did, as no one had asked him. He
was not afraid TO tell, but he
did not volunteer the information. He
says that on the morning of the day OF tue
fire one of the cash boys told him, ollie,
watch out; this old house will go up soon,
He asked him why he thought so, and the
boy answered that it was his opinion that
the place would burn.
The county attorney put the boy through
a rigid examination, but he could not shake
his testimony in the least. He told the
same tale throughout and retold it as at
first. When asked ii he knew the obliga-
ton of an oath and the consequence of
swearing TO an untruth, he answered that
he would 60 to the penitentiary.
l. y. GOldStein WAS the next witness. He
is the senior of the firm. He knew nothing
of the origin of the fire. and narrated his
experience after hearing the alarm. He
told how he advised his clerks to leave the
house and his narrow escape from 4
window. When asked if he knew anything
about Iillman striking match in the Win
dow he answered that he did not and would
not believe such 4 story.
The jury this afternoon brought in YER
dict that the fire was caused by the care
less handling of 4 match by the boy, Ollie
Tillman.
Ollie Tillman is fourteen years Of age.
He is a bright boy and made straightfor-
ward answers to all questions.
This ends the sensation that caused the
people OF Waco to get up early and crowd
into the court room to hear revelations.
There were rumors rife that u desperate
fre-bug would be run to the earth and
made to suffer for a crime which is the
most damnable. A sigh of relief was heard
from all in the court room when the truth
was learned.
