President to Township Officers

GREAT FALLs Oct. 8.-[special. 1-State
Senator Mats and James Donovan spoke
at the opera honss Tonight to good
audience. The Issues Of the day were
clearly and tersely stated. A. w. Prsul.
a lawyer of this city, presided, and in
neat speech introduced the first speaker OF
the evening, James Donovan. He confined
himself mainly TO a discussion Of the ntti-
tnds Of the two parties on the silver
question. He gave a history Of silver iegis-
lation from the foundation OF the govern
m ems to the passage of she Sherman act
and plainly demonstrated that the republi-
can policy had been hostile TO the white
metal. He touched few alient points of the
tariff question and closed admonishing all
to vote for Cleveland and Stevenson, Dixon,
Collins and the state and county tickets.
The address was warmly received.
Senator Mats was greeted with great ap-
plause as he stepped forward. In his terse
style, he set forth the democratic position
on the tariff and other issues Of the day;
denounced the republican tariff policy as
| one of deception and inconsistency; said
the issue is as clearly defined to-day as two
years ago, when the democratic party tri-
umphed at the polls. 1t is not q protective
tariff VS.. free trade. but protection vs.. a
tariff for revenue. The senator rapidly re-
viewed the tariff history and showed that
| the prosperity of the country always de-
creased as the tariff increased. He made
some good points in favor of free wool,
which were warmly applauded. He clearly
stated the issues in Montana and closed by
paying a merited compliment to Dixon and
Collins.
This was the first democratic rally held
here, and was grand success every way.
After the speaking the fambeau club par
AIDED the principal streets. The air was
filled with shouts for the national and state
| tickets.

for March and he gave Strathers minute

BERLIN, Oct. 8.--The long distance mill
tary ride is the principal topic OF convsrsa-
tion jast now. Despite the disappointment
of the Germans at the winning of she race
by the Austrians they are lavishinR every
hospitality on the viotors. Many of the
horses engaged in the race are disabled for
life. The condition of many thorough
breds is pitiable. Eight Austrian animals
died on the road. The ministerial trouble
Ia still ON. The difference between Csprivi
and MIGUEL has been widened by the un-
heard of action of tha chancellor In COM
plstely ignoring the Prussian cabinet in
the presentation of the new military bill.
II 10 predicted that he will dissolve the
reichstag if the bill fails to pass. Radical
papers are jubilant over this outlook and
| express the hope that in the case of disso-
luton their party will make great gains.
The chancellor meanwhile circulateB the
story that the bill ia practically the same as
the one prepared by Prince Bismarck, with
the approval of Waldersee. who was then
secretary.
| The stories of the emperor's financial diff
| fculties are again current. His father and
grandfather allowed army subaltsrns a
certain amount Of money each month If
| they are without private means. Emperor
| William refuses to continue this practice.
The number of subalterns receiving the
bounty is small, and the empsror's action
has caused much gossip, and is taken as
| positive evidence that he is hard up.
The emperor's cordial message on the
election of Herr Zslle, an ardent liberal. rs
burgomaster of Berlin, is q pleasant sur
prise in view of the fact of past opposition
to liberal burgomesters, and is regarded as
a sign that the time of boycotting political
opponents of the government is over.
| Three thousand retail traders of Cologne
have petitionsd the federal council and the

rest tends to make employees not more re-

WASHINGTON, Oct. 8.-Some weeks ago
decision was rendered in pension case
by Assistant Secretary Bussey relating TO
new disabilities" and rules of evidence
governing the saine. Last evening there
was sent Secretary Noble printed copy of
a supplement- containing the decision in
the case, This, which was unsigned, con-
tanned language, particularly in the head
ing and brief syllabus. which the secretary
regarded entirely uncalied for and extremely
partisan in character. The syllabus re-
ferred to read as follows 1.-The arbitrary
rule Of the Cleveland administration in ad-
Indicating increase claims based upon
alleged new disabilities, was overruled by
the Harrison administration in the inter-
est Of meritorious applicants. The old
doctrine of estoppel in pension claims has
been set aside by the present administra-
tion." The secretary at once rewrote the
decision, eliminating therefrom the obiec-
tionable language. This morning the Sec
rotary made inquiries as to the author of
the unsigned decision. which resulted in
the prompt dismissal of Geo. Baber, q
member of the board of pension appeals in
the office of Assistant Secretary Bussey.
