LONG AT MT. HOPE.

Mt HOPE, Kan, Oct. 1S.-[Special. by
arrangement Hon. Chester l. Long, &C
companied by John D. Davis, L. S. Naftz-
ger, H. F. Goode and other gentlemen,
arrived on the evening train from Wichita
last night. They were met at the depot by
Doc Dwight, who escorted them to the
hotel, where. during supper, they were
serenaded by the cornet band from Sedg-
wick. As the time for the meeting ap-
preached a crowd of several hundred
people, headed by the band playing
Marching Through Georgia." escorted
Mr. Long TO the park. As the size of the
crowd showed plainly that the opera
house would not hold one-half the audi
ence, Doc Dwight, assisted by a corps of
loyal Republicans of the town, had inn
provised stand, composed of a header
box, with sides and platform, and seats
supposed TO De enough to more than ac-
commodate all who would probably at
tend. This as the sequel proved, was 4
mistaken estimate, as there were as many
more standing after all the seats were
taken.
Shortly after the speaker had been intro
duced, and about the time he was getting
under good headway, loud pesls OF thun-
der, with vivid flashes of lightning, warned
more than one half of the audience hurried
10 their homes while there might be time
to escape wettlug But the speaker con-
tiuued his address until a falling rain COM

he would address them in the hall, TO

the matter out of the hands of Director
General Davis, and the pressure is strong
in favor of these important duties being
assigned to Traffic Manager Jaycock
Already the friends of the director general
are indignant at the systematic manner In
which they allege this official has been
ignored of late, and when the management
of the dedication details was taken out OF
his hands week ago there was intense
dissatisfaction, and in certain quarters
the director generals resignation Was at
one time thought probable.
Mr.. Davis is, however, still director gen.
eral. and will doubtless remain SO until
the council of administration divests him
of the last remnant of his authority by
conferring the duties of experimenting
the installation OF exhibits upon some
other Individual. The happy expedient of
creating official positions TO order in times
of emergency is still in vogue, and there
is much talk now of creating the office OF
chief of installation" in order to outwit
the friends of the director general, and
confer this authority upon the personal
choice of the council of administration.
The board of lady managers met in Cen
trail Music hall today. Mrs Potter Palmer,
president of the board, read her report,
which declared that the work of the board
was progressing satisfactorily in all res
pects She paid high compliment to the
committee on legislation which had rep
resented the interests OF the board at
Washington.
At meeting of the national commission
today Mr.. Hundlay of Alabama offered
a resolution to rescind the order adopted
at the last meeting that tomorrow be set
apart as the day for argument on the Sun
day closing question, inasmuch rs con-
gress in closing the gates had indicated
the action of the commission In the prepa-
ration of the rules.
Commissioner Harris wanted to know
when the Chicago directory had accepted
the appropriation with the Sunday closing
AIR. Hundlay said that the appropria-
tion and the Sunday closing condition had
been accepted, and that part of the souye-
mir coins, IN which form the appropriation
had been made were already sold.
On vote Of the commission the former
action was rescinded, and there will be no
further argument.
A resolution of sympathy for President
was adopted.

of Sedgwick and Reno: to their proud
position in the history of pluck, enterprise
and progress, and to the Garden OF Eden"
lying between the two sister cities, and
appealed to the voters of the counties not
to degrade their proud place In the eStlna-
tion of men; not to drag the plunes of the
Peerless Princess, "and the"Queen City"
in the depths of reputation; not to make
a hideous blur of the space covered by
their splendid counties on the map OF the
Prairie Queen" by defeating the men
chosen by the party of progress and pros
perity to serve their people in the admin
istration and direction of the public affairs
in their counties, and to represent them
in the councils of the state; but to stand
up for Kansas, and vote for the Republi-
can nominees and defeat the traGucers OF
their state and her people
At different times during the address
some gentlemen of mistaken opinions,
wearing Calamity badges, eudeavored to
disconcert the senator by boisterous inter-
ruptions and cries of "JerryW But they
did not know their man; he sat down on
them so hard that their tiattened out
expectations would have not made an
apology for chair cushion.
One fellow yelled How about Streeter?"
How about Georgia?" came so quick in
reply that the inquisitor was silenced by
the cheers Of the audience at his confusion.
One old gentleman wearing an Alliance
badge remarked: eff these fellers think
Simpson can do up that young feiler,
they're off their kerbase. that's all.
Several former adherents of the leaders
of the calamity legion shook hands
heartily with the senator, and gave will
ing expressions of their belief in his sue
cess. All through, the address was greet
ed by deafening cheers, and the house was
so crowded that there was not comfortable
elbow room. The attendance would have
been multiplied many times, save for the
threatening aspect OF the weather and 4
mistake, in part, of the circulars sent out,
reading ''Colwich" instead Of "Mt. Hope"
AS the size of the town will show, the at
tendance was almost wholly composed of
farmers. and of all political particles. The
Democrats were especially jubilant, aud
third party men coming for the ayowed
purpose of making sport were seen to
applaud vigorously during the address.
Altogether the meeting was attended by
the most complete success and the best re-
suits of any known during the campaign.
Doc Dwight has earned the admiration of
the visitors for his genius as Il manager Of
public occasions

PASSENGER RATES ADVANCED.

CHICAGO. Oct. 1S.-Chxirman Caldwell
of the Western Passenger association to-
day put the finishing touches to a great
piece OF work. II is the raising of rates
between association points, which have
been reduced for the last year and q half,
and means an increase of revenue averag-
ing 81 SOC, 900 year. A telegram was sent
by the chairman to all connecting lines,
as we'll as the members of the association,
today, informing them that all so called
reduced rates in effect between Chicago
and ST. Louis and Missouri river cities
will be discontinued Oct. 81.
The following rates will be in effect In
both directions for selling and hasing pur-
poses: From Chicago TO Kansas City,

sl2 so; to ST. Louis. $50: from ST. Louis
TO Kansas City, s. 80; TO Leavenworth, S..

corresponding raise will be made On all
intermediate rates affected, and tickets
between the points named are limited to
one day from the date of sale. The tele-
gram includes among its signers the Alton

THE RIO GRANDE STRIKE

DENVER. Oct. iS.-Tnere is little change
in the Rio Grande strike At this point. Tue
chances are that if the engineers do not
return to work today they will be dis

slCnifed their willingness 10 return 10
their places whenever called upon.
Very little sympathy IS expressed for
the striking engineers, and theF are hearft-
ly condemned Tor the policy they have
pursued. In the first place thes acted
hastily and went out without sufficient

AIINS AGAINST lANS

HAZLETON, Pa, Oct. 1S-As a result of
the terrible battle which took place near
Milnesvilie on Sunday an italian named
PIutarco lies dead at Lattimer mine No. 3
In a shanty just opposite is Antonio
Marks, shot in the groin and cut about the
body. On a bunk near him fellow coun-
tryman lies in an unconscious condition.
His skull is fractured and bis face cut.
The two latter are fatally in jured. This
comprises the Italian victims SO far as can
be seen, but it is believed that five others
are i'll the woods, where they had been car
ried after receiving injuries. In the Hun
sarlau quarters over at Milnesville George
Ferris lies, Shot in 1he hip. His face, neck
and shoulders are awfully hacked, and he
Is likely to die. His brother. John Ferris,
has mark or the battle in shattered
arm, having been shot through the elbow.
He also suffers from the effects of siietio
wounds on his neck and face. His in juries
are the least dangerous of any. Ii is
thought that at least fifteen men were car
ried to shanties in the woods wounded
some OF them probably fatally. The riot
was the elimination of an old feud be-
tween the Hungarans and Italians.
HAZLETON, Pa, Oct. S-Following is a
corrected list of the victims of the Hun
gariau and Italian race war which oc-
Cured at Milnesville on Sunday evening:

CURTIS AT BENTON,

BENTON. Kan, Oct. 1S,-[Special. Mr..
Curtis, candidate for congress, spoke here
last night to we'll filled hall. He dis
cussed freely the Peoples party platform.
giving it most thorough analysis. He
showed the absurdity of party Incorpor-
ating such language-such a statement as
that the country is on the verge of moral
ruin; that it is gross insult to ali
mothers, wives, sisters and sweethearts in
this great country, and not only these but
the men as we'll. Such statement is
false, as no nation stands as high morally
as does this country. He showed in clear
and very forcihle way that we are not on
"the verge of political ruin" Because it
is here that there is greater freedom than
in any other country Of which history tells
a story; here it is man may have full
liberty to belong to any existing political
party, and if not satisfied with these he
can organize IA new one; he has freedom OF
both thought and press; SO free is 1t that
even the chief executive has to stand the
abuse of his enemies.
In a graphic way he pictured this as the
poor mans country; here the poor mau
may educate his children absolutely free;
the poor boy often, by his own efforts,
reaches the highest offices aud honors i'll
the gift of the nation, and the whole civil
iZei world may do him houor-e. G., Wash
ington, Lincoln, Garfield, Plumb. and
others.
That other clause, material ruin"
was shown to be faliacious in the extreme
Mr. Curtis showed from statistics that at
the beginning of the war we were the
poorest and that now we are the greatest
and richest nation In the world. He gave
logical analysis of the Peoples party
campaign document, "Bondholders and
BreadwiUners," and proved it one Of the
greatest absurdities of the day.
He thoughtfully discussed the benefits
of an ''income tax" and showed bv statis-
tics what protection aud reciprocity have
done and are doing, and, by way of con-
trast. he viyidly pictured the good old
times of free trade" His discussion of
able paper money. the desired income tax
and free coinage of silver-was the master
product of his two hour's speech.
Mr.. Curtis praised Hon. L. B. Murdoch s
able work in the seuate. and said that he
believed that Mr. Murdock would do even
better work, if the people will do their
duty and send him back on the Sth of No
vember next.
Last, but not least of all the good and
eloquent things he said, was his review of
the progress Kansas has made and is max
ing. He made his hearers proud OF Kansas
and her 5. 600 churches, 5000 school houses
and T. 000 teachers. Kansas Is first In the
increase of both wealth and populs tion, as
compared with any other state of like pop
uiatiou aud wealth in the United States.
Stand up for Kansas.

and which jeopsrGized the lives Of fifteen
others occurred this morning at shaft No.

got on 10 the cage to be lowered to dept h
OF 500 feet. Brakeman John Ryan was
lowering the cage with its human freight.
when Il fellow brakeman noticed that the

Hi, horror may be imagined whe n, instead
OF applying the brake, Ryan threw it wide

Only one CT the seventeen men in the
