EX-sPEAKER REED,
Saturday night, Infantry Hall. "Money
aud Protection Hear him.
WEXFORD.

Yesterday was a big day in this town.
1t enjoyed the treat of two extraordinary
attractions. The first TO draw a crowd
was an intricate mechanical toy in the
window of Young's drug store. 1t is a
set of dancing figures, Southern darkies,
to the accompaniment of the banjo.
The other wa the great Democratic
rally in ODD Fellows hall. The Lafayette
Band, after a concert in front of the post
office, acted as escort to the members Of
the club and speakers OF the evening in
the march from the club rooms TO the hall,
through streets ablaze with red fire and
thronged with humanity of all ages and
conditions in life.
VIM. Z. Hambly set Off a roman candle
and Joseph Sealy burned two packages Of
red fire as evidences of Republican good
will.
Candidate Eagan, president of the club,
presided at the hall and introduced the
various speakers. Ex-Gov. Waller Of
Connecticut and Messrs. George L. Brown
aud Charles T.. German, billed to appear,
were conspicuous by their absence.
The hall was well filled with an appre-
ciative audience. To one not seated in
the extreme front, however. the sharp
crack of the peanut, the conversation in
the rear, and the frequent slam of the
door interfered with a close following of
the addresses.
The first speaker, Senator Scott OF Illi-
UOlS utu ucNcT u WOTu 10 say dDOut lTcc
silver or the Hon. David b. Hill, but con-
fined his remarks entirely to the tariff
when he touched upon matters political.
EX-Attorney General Slocum, the Sec
ond speaker. told some good stories and,
possibly having heard that the best of
harmony did not exist in the Demo
cratic party in this town, urged
that the full party vote be
given for the full State and Legislative
ticket. The innocent assertion that he
was sure that nobody in North Kings
town would sell his vote brought down
the house.
Ex-Consul Monaghan made an eloquent
speech upon the glory of American citi-
zenship, He warmly welcomed the ladies
present, and extolled the virtues of the
Roman matron and the Spartan mothers.
The Hon. David 5. Baker. Jr., the clos
ing speaker, occupied the little time re-
manning in stating why he is a Democrat,
aud warned by the near approach of the
first of April, the meeting was brought to
q close.

Bx-sECRBTARY BAYARD TALKS.
He Discusses Our Nations Attitude In
Regard to Venezuela.

WILMINGTON, Del, Sept. 14.-In an in
terview with a United Press reporter re-
garding the Venezuelan question, ex-
Secretary of State T. f. Bayard had the
following to say:
"The question of the boundaries of
Venezuela where they approach those of
British Guiana has been for long time
vexed question between Venezuela and
the government of Great Britain, or
rather private companies of British SUBJ
jects engaged in gold mining in what is
generally known as the Orinoco region.
Serious complaints were made by the
Venezuelan representatives in Washing
ton of the encroachment of British juris-
diction and of claims to navigate the
Orinoco river to such an extent as would
penetrate the interior of Venezuela and
destroy the independent authority of
that country over vast region of val
liable commerce which that country
claimed as her own exclusively.
81 was never disposed to believe that
there was any design on the part of
Great Britain to expand her jurisdiction
as nation over the territory in dispute;
but believe, and | think true history
of the case will show that the differences
sions obtained by British subjects as pIi-
vate enterprises from the government Of
Venezuela and consequently the invest
ment of great deal of private British
capital in the development of these rich
mining regions After these investments
were made and the property became val
liable these private owners found them
selves not only without that protection
of established law which alone gives
property its security, but were subjected
from time to time to the exactions and
tyrannical demands Of the Venezuelan
officials. Therefore it was that they
claimed British protection against spoil
alton by Venezuelan officials and wero
desirous of seeing the British jurisdic-
ton extended over the territory in which
their mining operations We're conducted.
LAS the attitude of the United States
was to be one OF impartial friendship to-
wards both governments, the present
concentration of naval forces Is not ex-
planned by any thing in the published
correspondence thus far. Whether the
more than doubtful claim of jurisdiction
by the United States within the territor-
ial waters of another government, which
was apparently implied rather than as
serted in the Burrundia case, is now to
be repeated remains to be seen.
Certain it is the United States would
promptly enforce its own jurisdiction
over all persons charged with violation
of its laws who Were found within its
territory, whether on land on water. If
we deny this to other nations, or to some
and not to others, our own position will
be very difficult to maintain when we
sock to execute our domestic laws within
our own jurisdiction"

MEMPHIS, Sept 14.-There was a SEN
sational shooting affray at o'clock yes
terday afternoon in the store room of
Roots, Taylor & Co., one of the largest
wholesale grocery and cotton firms on
Front row. George Forrest, a contractor,
nephew of n. R. Forrest, the celebrated
Confederate cavalry general, and son of
Jesse Forrest, thought R. l.. Dukes,
clerk, was Colonel J. T. Taylor, and
quickly fired three shots at him, one bull
let piercing the bladder, another cutting
through the groin, and the third landing
in the tleshy part of the neck. Forrest
entered the store at noon and had a dis
pute with Colonel J. T. Taylor about an
account. He returned at o'clock drunk.
Dukes was standing near Il wall of boxes
and Forrest, thinking he was Colonel
Taylor opened fire. After the third shot
Forrest was disarmed and arrested.
Dukes will die.

wARL1KH INDIAN ELECTORS.
eeven Men Already Killed and Further
Murders Anticipated.


CADDo, ]. T., Sept. 14.-News has
reached here that seven men have been
murdered in the Choetaw nation Incl
dental to the political war feeling. 1t is
thought that the worst has not come yet
Governor Jones came to town and
wired for United States Indian Agent
Bennett, who came in on a freight train
and had consultation with Governor
Jones, Lieutenant Governor fl. Bryant
and number of prominent Indians.
What they have decided ON has not been
made public.
Agent Bennett suggested that he call
out troop of United States cavalry to
arrest all the parties engaged in the riot,
and to keep the troops in readiness to go
to the national council meeting, when
the governor is to take his seat.
1t seems that plot has been laid to
kill all the prominent Indians on the
Jones side, each squad of assassins to
have its own community to work in.
The men in Gaines county havo carried
out their instructions. As the other men
have not carried out their part of the
plot, the leaders appear to be perplexed,
and don't know what do do.
They arc to have another secret meet
ing at Antlers on Sept. 2t, for what pur-
pose is known only TO themselves. Gov
ornor Jones has sent twelve armed men
from this place to the seat of the trouble.
He is in constant fear of being killed,
and keeps a heavy guard around him all
the time.
The situation grows more warlike
every hour. 1t is reported now that a
band of Nationalists have killed twelve
Progressists near MeAllister. Every
thing is in an uproar.

THE OFFICIAL BALLOT.
An Opinion Sustaining the Attitude Of
Republican Chairman Reeder.

An Opinlon sustaining the AtIlLudo OF
Republican Chairman Reeder.
HARRISBURG, Sept. 14.-Attorney Gen
eral Hensel last night rendered an opin-
ion to Secretary Harrity relative to the
changes in the new ballot law. The de-
cision is lengthy and conforms with the
views of General Reeder, the Republican
state chairman. The ballot as orig
inally prepared by Secretary Harrity was
in the form Of straight party tickets, and
instructions Were printed to the effect
that one cross mark Ky opposite the party
name would stand asa vote for all of the
candidates of that party.
General Reeder raised the question of
legality, and contended that the law re-
quires all candidates to be grouped as
presented in the several certificates of
nomination under the designation of the
of the office. with the political appella-
ton at the head of each group. He also
argued that the cross mark against the
party name at the top of the ticket did
not vote the entire ticket, but the candi-
dates in that particular group, which in
the case OF the present ballot would be
the presidential electors.
Democratic State Chairman Wright
said, after talk with Secretary Harity,
that the new ballot will have the candi-
dates arranged in groups rs presented in
the certificates of nomination, with the
party name at the head of each group,
except the Prohibition party, which
failed to poll the requisite per cent. of
the highest vote at the last election.

Few people know that almost in sight
of st. Louis stands the largest artificial
mound in America, II not in the world.
Tho Cahokia mound is over 700 feet long
by 500 feet wide ut the base and 90 feet high.
1t covers over eight acres Of ground and
has upward of 10000 900 cubic feet OF con-
tents. When one reflects on the low de-
gree of civilization attained by the people
who built this mound, and the inadequate
tools, transportation and machinery en-
ployed, it was for the Indians a more stu
pendous undertaking than for us would
be the building of another city like st.
Louis.
This mound is really mountain, and
every handful of earth it contains must
have been carried thither in handbaskets.
How long it took or why It was built at all
are questions that will probably never be
answered, but the stupendousness of the
work cannot be called in question.-St,
Louis Globe-D Democrat.
