ming from the mill into Paper-mill Creek.
He delivered the water to Thomas Price &
Son, the chemical experts, at 524 Sacra-
mento street, San Francisco, for the pur-
pose Of having it aDayzed. The waters
above the mill were perfectly clear while
the waters below were disc9Iored and pol
luted for several miles.

sioner. testified to similar state Of facts.
Thomas Price, the chemical expert, teSti-
fed as to the effect of the substance upon

FRESNO. Sept. 16.-TheIe were several
rumorS here to-day in connection with the
train robbers, but some of them W ere ex-
ploded on the slightest Investigation, and
OF the others the origin could not be ascer-
tanned. One rumor was that the robbers
had killed an old man in the mountains
named Woody because he had betrayed
tnem and attempted to deeoy them into the
hands of the officers. The rumor first came
from Traver, and, upon inquiry there by
telephone this afternoon. it was ascertained
that such story was current, but that it
was not known o1dvhat foundation it rested.
Learning that the man reported to have
been killed had a son In Reedly, inquiry by
telephone was made there and the reply
was that the son had left Rsedly this morn
Ing, but 1t was not known where he had
gone. The rumor could be traced no further.
From Selma came the report that Warren
Hilps horse, which he got at Moore &
Smiths mill TO ride back to where his men
were killed, had been found dead, aud that
Hill was nowhere 10 be seen. This story
could not be substantiated, either. Sanger
was photographed to, but nothing had been
heard of the matter there.
Constable j. n. McFatter, who went TO
Dunlap with posse FROM Selma, returned
to Fresno this evening trayel-stained and
weary. He left Dunlap at o'clock this
morning. and said there was nothing new
to tell. He and his posse made thorough
search in the country around Dunlap and

WHEELING, W. Va, Sept. 16.-The Re-
publican campaign In this State was for
mally opened tonight by Secretary of War
Elkins at Davis, one OF the new towns in
the northern coal regions An immense
crowd was present.
The secretary spoke at length on thu
tariff question and also had something to
say about the force bill tals. The young
men of the South, he said, are
fast realizing that the methods aud
practices 10 prevent fair elections
are working against the prosperity and best
interests of the South, against the influx of
population and the development OF her re-
sources. 1t is believed. he said, that the
time had come when the people OF the
South can be trusted to settle the question
of fair elections. and in way that will be
final and TO the satisfaction Of the whole
country.

arrest of operations attending the debates
on the Mckinley bill. Our opponents, now
that the bill is working well, declare that IL
is unconstitutional and that reciprocity is
sham, and demand its reversal. They
also demand tbs abandonment of our mag
nificent system of national banking cur
rency. Such is the sudden shock our oppo-
nents invite you to bring upon yourselves,
and 1t is proposition to be considered by
practical business people in practical
business-like way.
"The Presidential year has always been
considered as a bad business year, because
the future Is so uncertain. Now for The first
time the Presidential campaign. Tar from
producing stagnatOn. Is attended py gem
eral prosperity and brisk business. Not
even the usual and radical threats OF
change ana the unexpected spectre of the
cholera combined have this year been
able to cast chill over the general confl-
dence or slack the activities OF buOyant
business. Why? Is it not because the
business world has made up its mind that
there is to be no change, with un ABIDING
faith in the common sense and sober second
thought of average American ctizsnsP Does
not every business man, whatever his party
convictions or his political pre1udlcss, aoso-
lutely know, as cold business proposition,
that the complete reversal OF the existing
order OF things demanded by the Democratic
party in its present platform as to the tariff,
would necessarily unsettie business for the
next eighteen months or two years?
In view of our having adapted ourselves
to the Mckinley bill, and our practically
unbrOken conduct of business since 1862
under high protective tariff system, most
men. whether free-traders or protectionists,
know that anything like broad and thor
Ough execution of the scheme laid down In
the Democratic platform would be the pre-
cipitation of a business chaos. Is it wise IN
prosperous times to let well enough alone,
or to upset everything and go hunting for
theoretical ranbows? The present activity
of business, in the face Of the cholera and
the Democratic campaign combined, is the
best proof of the peoples faith that b0th
invaders will be repeled.
For the first time the policy is boldly
enunciated and frankly defended by the
national Democratic party that the tar III
should have no relation to wages and no
relation to the protection Of American In
dustries; that ID should be solely arranged
for the purpose OF raising revenue and have
all the characteristics of a revenue tariff,
which presses only upon articles which we
are bound to import from abroad, like
coffee, tea and sugar, and so that the tariff
should be as a direct attack, and as directly
felt by every American citizen as if imposed
upon the watch in your pocket or the flour
in your pantry. In brief, it is the Demo-
cratic demand, at last honestly made, for
the English tariff. with. of course, EugIish
wages to follow it,"

MRS. HiRRISOi'S HEALTH.
Another Surgical Operation Vas Success
fully Performed Yesterday.

+. Loon LAKE. Sept. 16.-There has been
no particular change in Mrs. Harrison's
condition to-day. The result OF another
operation this morning has given the at
tending physicians some slight encourage
ment, as the quickness of her recovery
from the shock of the puncture necessary
to remove the accumulation of fluid in the
chest cavity indicates the possession by the
patient of considerable strength and vital
ity.
DIR. Dougherty said that at the pre-
vious operation the entire amount of fluid
was not removed, as IL was then feared she
could not stand the ordeal. Though there
has been no very marked increase in the
amount of fluid since the last operation,
Mrs. Harrison's condition this morning was
such as 10 warrant the removal of the re-
naming fluid which was successfully ac-
cOmplShed. After the operation the patient
rested quietly, and, on the whole, her con-
dtion Is somewhat improved. The previous
operation was performed under the most
alarming conditions. and it was therefore
resorted 10 to-day with considerable mis-
givlngs, and the great success attending 1t
has caused corresponding qualification.
While the danger Of fatal ermination of
the case is not altogether removed, the re-
cent developments add considerably 10 the
ultimate prospects of the patients recov-
cry. The attack of pleurisy may be over
come, but then 1t will still be necessary to
clear the system of the destructive bacili
before hope OF recovery can be reasonably
entertained. 1t is an open secret that none
OF the physicians who are attending Mrs.
Harrison will venture to publish predic-
tion that she will certainly recover. Drs.
Gardner and Dougherty are each on record
as saying that there is no danger of imme-
diate dissolution, except in tho event of an
unlooked-for complication. The President
is so much encouraged at the success of to-
days operation that he went for short
walk in the mountains with his daughter.

Gutman. The arrest were made under sec
iion % of the Penal Code. which makes it a
msdemeanOr. punishable by imprisonment
for five years or fne of $500. or both, for

The charge is that certain circulars and
statistics received by Peck from the manu-
facturers Of this State from which to COM
pile his report on the effect Of the Mckinley
tariff on wages and production have been
removed from his Office and destroyed. The
proceedings leading TO the issuance of the

Gutman, behind closed doors. Those pres
ent were: District Attorney Eaton, Corpor-
alton Counsel Deehanty and ex-senator
Norton Chase.

Peck and Rodgers live stated in an ex-
animation that two weeks ago his express
man brought twenty-five packages to the
house and stored them in Peck's room.
Last Sunday Peck gave him Dennison) 81
to take them down and burn them In the
furnace. Dennison did so, being kept busy
from Sunday afternoon un til o'clock Mon

Norton Chase said after the warrants had
been issued that he had proof that If not
all at least part of the tariff circulars re-
ce!Ted by Peck for his report had been
burned
Commissioner Peck said tonight that he
and Rodgers had been served with notice
to answer the warrants tomorrow morn
ing. He then said: "The securing of
these warrants OF arrest is the culmina-
ton Of fight made by the Mugwumps and
anti-Hill Democrats on Governor Hill and
his friends, aud 1t is all they can expect
henceforth from these quarters"
A committee sent by the Democratic Ma
