York, ex-United States consul at Edin-
burgh, Scotland, who spoke as follows:
"Mr. Chairman, ladies and gentlemen:
When spoke to you from this platform
four years ago had been going to and fro
in New York state and made the prophecy
and Morton would be found to be elected
president and vice president of the
United States. And now have
again come to you from going to and fro
in New York state, and, I think, can
much moro surely, from what have seen
there, make the Same prophecy to you,
that when the votes are counted on the
might of November 8 Harrison and Reid
will be found to be the president and vice
president of the United States. [Great ap-
plause.
There are always men who say, "You
can't do it," But such men are older than
America. They go back to that grand old
book of Job. Jobs comforters kept cry-
ing calamity to him and he stood it for
thirty-six hours, and then he said: doubt
less you are the people, and all wisdom will
die with you"
They cried to Columbus, ''You can't do
it; all is water. You can't find land" But
Columbus said 'sSail on" and land was at
last found. And here is a man who comes
along with calamity written all over his
AoS0 oAAA boySS Aou SnA4 U AAnA0 U4As Ousg
my friends, We can make tin and have
made over 5000, 900 pounds in the past
three months. [Applause.
Now, If you don't believe that wages are
per cent. higher in New York, why ask
Commissioner Peck. We probably know
Commissioner Peck in New York state
better than you do here, yet you seem to
have some idea who he is. He Ger
tainly surprised the whole democracy.
They were not used to sizing things up by
dry measure.
The democratic party says the policy of
protection is unconstitutional. Have we
not then been long time in finding this
out. The first bill protecting American
industries was signed by George Washing
ton on July 4,17S9. Even Thomas Jefferson
and Andrew Jackson, to whom the demo-
cratic party refer so much, were really pro-
teotionists. In closing MI. Wallace spoke
strongly in favor of reciprocity and in dis
paragement of the return to the old state
banking system which the democratic party
advocates.
The meeting closed with song by the
glee club.

THE ACT NOT HURT.
INTERSTATE COMMERCE COM
 MISSION SAFE
Misapprehension Regarding the Ef- feet of . Recent Decision-The Possi- bnity of the Adjournment of Con gress-Generai Mention.

WASHINGTON, May 24.-There is a general impression throughout the country that the decision of the Su- preme court in the case of the Inter State Commerce Commission against the Baltimore & Ohio railroad on the subject of party rate Sickets will prove fatal to the Interstate Com merce law, and that the argument of the court in sustaining the right of railroads to issue party tickets, on the principle of selling cheaper at whole sale than at retail, is equally applica- ble to the subject of freight charges.
 This error arises from too hurried examination of the opinion. which, when reported in full, will be found to contain important notifications. It will be seen that the court distinctly discriminates between the right of a railroad to issue party rate tickets and the right to make special rates for freight The act as whole is not damaged by the opinion.

MEMPHIS, Tenn, May 23.-An at tempt was made yesterday to wreck a north-bound passenger train on the Cotton Belt road, near Pine Bluff. Ark at point ten miles south of Pine Bluff, on long trestle at the foot of curve. Some one had fastened a drawhead to the track.

The engine jumped the track, ran along the trestle for 200 feet, and then fell over into the water which sur rounded the track, carrying all the cars with it. The engineer, fireman and train crew escaped by jumping. The engine and fat-cars are a complete wreck

The report of the committee on the revision of the creed will probably be presented to-day.

Capture of a Crook

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, May 2s.-The police believe they have a celebrated criminal in Herdman, and like so many celebrated criminals he is said to bear a close resemblance to the description of Tascott.

Hanson and E. l.. Morrison. When asked pointed question about those he tainted in his cell His wife confessed to a detective that he was one of the gang of forgers whose operations extend all over the country.

DROWNED LIKE RATS.
One Hundred and Twenty-Three Lives
 IOSt


 MoNTEvIDEo, Uruguay, May 24.-A fearful disaster has overtaken the Brazilian warship Solimoes off this coast. It was dispatched from Rio Janeiro some days since to act as con voy to the iotilla which carried troops to aid in quelling the rebellion in the Brazilian State of Matto Crosse.
 Just as the Solimoes was off Polonio island, near Point Negra Castillos, it struck rock violently, bows on. The sea was rough at the time. All the crew were under hatches, except four sailors and the pilot. Two of the sail ors acted as lookouts; the other two were at the wheel.
 Through the immense hole made in its hull the water rushed so fast and furious that the vessel sank almost immediately. Of all its crew only the four sailors who were on deck saved their lives. The pilot also escaped One hundred and twenty three men were lost.
 The unfortunate sailors did not even get chance to get on the deck. They were drowned like rats in hole As the water poured in the victims seemed instantly to realize their danger and made frantic but unavailing effort to dash open the matches. Their cries were heartrending.

POOR AND HOMELESS.
HUNDREDS REDUCED TO POW ERTY BY THE FLOODS.
Alton, H.. Filled with Those Rescued from Their Ruined Homes-Thieves at work-The Situation still Very Critical Throughout Iowa.

ALTON, H., May 24.--The floods on the Mississippi have left in their wake nothing but devastation and woe. Hundreds of thousands of well-tilled farms, two weeks ago rich in waving grain, are now under ten feet of water or piled high with mud and driftwood. Their owners or tenants, driven to the ur per stories of their farmhouses by the flood. were prisoners there without food to eat or fires to keep them warm, and did not dare close their eyes in sleep. In this terrible disaster the citizens of Alton have shown true nobility, and day and night they fought their way in every con ceivable form of boat through the whirling, eddying river to rescue the imprisoned farmers. But many of the farmers, robbed of every other form of property, refused to leave their sub. merged farmhouses until their stock was placed in safety, alike from the food and the cattle thieves and river pirates who like vultures prowled abou. to reap their harvest from the woes of others. From an upper story of one small house twenty-seveD per sons were reserved, among them man sl years old, a woman 6s years, and an infant days old. In another six peo. pie half starved and freezing were found huddled together on one bed with foot of water on the floor below them.
 It is impossible to estimate even the immediate loss, but the most serious phase of the trouble is not so much the actual loss to the growing crop as the fact that the distressed farmers, with. out cent ahead in the world and with no credit, will have to be supported by public benevolence until next years crop is harvested, and many of them are ruined forever and will need gen erous help to place them on their feet again. Mayor F. w. Joesting, who is also chairman of the finance depart. ment of the Relief committee, said yesterday that in addition to the Sl, COG already subscribed by Alton people $40, 900 or s5O GOO will be necessary to care for the homeless, disheartened sufferers. All subscriptions should be forwarded to him
 Alton is Lot under water, as pub lished accounts have claimed. The only damage here is to the Spark Mill ing company, the Alton Roller Milling company. which have a combined out put of $500 barrels day, and to the Illinois Glass Works, the largest single plant in the world. These have beer compelled to close down, throwing l,5oO men temporarily out of employ mauf

 At the time the house contained valuable cows, several fine bred hogs, driven there by the high waters, and much costly furniture. The property belonged to the Bigham estate. The loss is $5,000.

HER FATE IN JURORS. HANDS.
Mrs Russeli's Case Reviewed by Judge
 Bailey and Given to the Twelve

Mrs Russell's Case Reviewed by Judge
 Bailey and Given to the Twelve.
 EAU CLAIKE. Wis, May sa-At 8 o'clock last night, in a court room packed to suffocation, the jurymen stood up to listen to Judge Bailey's charge in the Russell case. As the opening sentences describing the crime of murder by poison were read. tears filled the eyes of Mrs Russell, and she partly buried her face in handker- chief. Later she rallied, and by the time the jury had retired she was com posedly chatting with her husband. In his charge Judge Bailey called atten- tion to the fact that the character of the evidence relied on by the State was presumptively circumstantial as dis tinguished from evidence conclusively circumstantial; also that the jury must not infer. even though the accused had love for the husband of the deceased, that such love was a sufficient motive, or that it would naturally prompt the crime of murder.

THE pocKERY REPORT.
The Only Weak Spot Is the Proposal te
 Reduce General Davis Salary.


 Reduce General Davis Salary.
 WASHINGTON, May 24 The friends of the Colum bian exposition are gener- ally pleased with the Cookery report They regret that the committee should have felt called upon to recommend a reduction of the director generals salary, and Mir. Reilly, a member of the Durborow committee, says: 'It looks as if Dockery found everything in such excellent shape that he felt he would be called partial if he didn't say some thing of fault-fnding nature; so he attacked the salary of the director general, who, to my mind, earns all he receives. Fifteen thousand dollars may be large salary, but so is the position, which is only temporary, yet to attend to which Davis has had to give up all hIs private business"
 Mir. Durborow thinks the report will help the chances of the souvenir bil and so does Mr. McGann.
