Anarchists Prepare to Welcome
England's Future King.
A DEAD MAN IF He VISITS THE FAIR

The Resources of Civilization" Said To
Be in Course of Preparation to Hasten
His Taking Oh-A Startling Yarn That
Has Its Origin in New York-Poison,
Pistol, Knife Dynamite To BE Used
as Opportunity Offers.
NEW YORK, March 21-The Journal this
morning declares that anarchists are plot
ting to kill the Prince of Wales when he
comes to America with Millionaire W. w.
Aston for the purpose of attending the Chi
cago exposition. It is story that in its
ramifications makes as interesting and SEN
sational a tale as has ever excited the Off
Gals of the United States and English gov
ernments. Mr.. Astor's plan, in case the
Prince of Wales decides to accompany him,
is to speed directly for Boston. When the
party reaches that city it will go to
Chicago by special trains chartered by Mr..
Aston by way of Canada.
Minister Pauncefote Informed.
That the Prince of Wales has looked
with favor on the idea of accepting Mr..
Astor's offer United States naval officials
prove. They base their views on the fact
that ever since the question of the princes
visit to America has been discussed the
British admiralty has been moboilizing the
famous English channel squadron for
foreign duty. On the other hand these
preparations have caused the making of
plots to bring the earthly career OF the
Prince of Wales to an end during his
American tour. These views have been
already presented to Julian Pauncefote,
the English ambassador at Washington. s.
Warned by a Canadian Soldier.
Major Charles Fox Billings, of Peter
boro, Ont, Canada, not long since wrote to
him stating that he has accurate inform l.
ton that an extensive anarchistic plot i4as
been begun in which the leading friends OF
the red flag in the United States and
Canada are concerned, and which in the
event of the visit of the Prince of Wales to
America will end in his murder \ letter
ordinarily would meet with scant courtesy
at the hands of Sir Julian Pauncefote, who
would believe in he work of a crank, but
in this case the writer of the startling news
is no crank. He is a retired English army
officer of good standing. He served in the
Crimean war as major of the Seventeenth
English lancers and afterward was trans
ferred to Canada He is a holder of the
Victoria cross, the Crimean cross and
other emblems.

The Warship New York Breaks All Re-
cords for Speed
PHILADELPHIA, March 2I.-With the
proud distinction of having broken the
record of all preliminary trials, and the
satisfaction of being the fastest arlnored
vessel in the world the cruiser New York
returned to Cramps ship yard yesterday.
From the hour she steamed down the Della
ware until her arrival again naval experts
have awaited with deep interest the result
of the great warship's initial performance.
Three Trials of the Vessel.
Her performance during the whole trip
was splendid in every way, but the trials
on speed were phenomenal. At the first
she made 20.03 nautical miles per hour
second, 81 nautical miles; average ~. %
nautical miles. Later she was headed for
deeper water. In a run of four consecu-
tive hours she maintained speed of 20 IS
knots per hour, reaching as high as POS
as the water deepened.

Paw for Members of Parliamen,

LONDON, March 27.-The commons have
passed, by a vote of go to 800, a resolution
that in the future all members be paid for
their services in parliament. This is one
of the most radical measures ever adopted
in the house of commons. By the payment
of q modest salary, which will not exceed
g, 600 a year and most likely will be under
that amount, representatives of the poorer
classes, without private fortunes of their
own will be enabled to sit in parliament.

CHARGE POTTER WITH FRAUD.
The Chicago millionaire Credited With
sharp Financiering.'

CHICAGO, March 2T.-Orrin W. Potter and
the Illinois Steel company, of Chicago,
have 81, 0OO, 900 suit on their hands, and
they are charged, TO put it mildly, with
some sharp financiering. Captain Eber
Ward, of Detroit, died there in 1875 and
his estate was figured at over SC, 900, 600
Potter was an executor, and the charge is
that he did not agree with the other eXecu-
tors and by sharp practice got them sll out
and himself in complete control.
How the Alleged Fraud Was Done.
The complaint says that some of the
most valuable assets of the state was
rolling mill stock. This Potter sold at a
very low price and it all came back into
his hands somehow. Such manipulations
as the above are the principal charges and
by them Potter is alleged to have become
possessed OF all that was valuable in the
estate at an absurdly low price. Potter
when seen Saturday night said the estate
was settled some years ago and there waa
nothing in the charges-they We're "malici-
ously false

The Election Embroglio.

The following despatch was sent
from Elkton TO the Baltimore Ameri
can on Monday night, which describes
the state of the siege at that time.
The contested election in this
county is causing no end of talk, and
some excitement was caused when il
was reported that the ballot boxes
had been removed from the court
house to the Office of Mr.. Frank r
Scott, president of the Board of Flee.
ton Supervisors for Cecil county.
The report was started by some one
who had seen Mr. Scott having the
unused ballots taken from the court
house to his office. 1t is rumored
that the Crotbers faction has or will
petition the court to have the ballot
boxes removed to some other place
claiming that they are now under the
care OF those who opposed the can.
didates returned as elected. Some
one has been satying in the court
house for the past night or so to see
that the ballot boxes are not tamper-
ed with, and others have been patrol

the lights and listening at the doors.

Election Retrospect.

We publish corrected official table oil
the vote In this issue of MIDLAND JOURNAL
Last week we were unable to get the correct
figures ia time for publication.
The total vote cast in the county was
5,273. The democrat majority on the State,
or Comptroller ticket is 145; the plurality
3O3. Crothers' majority over Haines is 81.
The combined vote of Haines and Roach Is
1856, which combined vote makes Crothers
fall short of majority of the whole by
1876 votes. The stay at home vote is very
large. The whole prohibition vote on the
State ticket is 1853, which is considerably
under last years vote of the party in the
county. There is no encouragement for
that party. Even four of its members left
their ticket and voted for Crothers in the
9th district, whom they accused night and
day of being the whiskey candidate.
There is little doubt that their ticket was
injured by the sham advocacy of prohibition
by the Wing. There is no avoiding the ugly
fact as revealed by the returns that Torbert-
ism defeated Haines. There were lots of
votes transferred from the republican ticket
to Crothers at the 9Th district polls, right at
Mr.. Haines' home, where there is no rea-
sonable reason for such cut except Torbert-
ism. 1t was reported, and no doubt the
report was we'll founded, that Torbert was
Boosting what tall feather IL would be in his
cap If Mr.. Hanes was elected. This was
characteristic. He is always ready and
more than willing to dress in other peoples
feathers and shine in borrowed light.
The MIDLAND JOURNAL predicted long
ago that 1orbertiSm would cost Mr.. Haines
more than a hundred votes. Mr.. Crothers
ought to give Torbert some consideration
for his services 1t would be graceful
thing on his part to allow that clause to
remain in the law making the disposition Of
''mush' by the County Commissioners
discretionary with the board, which they
can use as whip on Torbert. The sight OF
a whip is sufficient to control we'll trained
setter. He will ''charge" and "retrieve''
at command of the sportsman.
The prohibition party answers as an
escape valve for the enthusiasm of
that class of prohibitionists which are
always in an effervescent state, but is no
good as political party. 1t appears to
have been stunted in its infancy-was quite
promising pig at birth, and temperance
people had high hopes that 1t would turn
out heavy weight porker. But by some
untoward fate or accident it seems to have
gotten hold Of the hind teat and has not
thriven.

Allen and Watson.

If THE MIDLAND JOURNAL was
asked to name q preference for
Presidential and Vice Presidential
candidates for the Peoples Party
in 1896, we would name without
hesitation Senator Allen of Ne
braska and Hon. Thomas z. Wat
son of Georgia. These two men
have developed the fact that
they possess brains and grit which
would make them a power in the
White House and as presiding officer
in the Senate. There would be one
objection TO placing Tom Watson in
the Vice-PresidenL's chair. Such
men as Watson are of too much use,
on the floor of the House or Senate
as active workers than TO be sheIved
IN Vice Presidential chair Perhaps
another man less aggressive, useful
and active, but as reliable and able
to place in the Vice Presidents easy
chair may be found.
But Allen of Nebraska is the man
to lead the Populist icket in 1896.
He is man "of the people" A man
possessing the courage of his convic.
tions which gives them expression
when occasion demands, as his first
speech in the Senate proves. We
suggest that the readers of The MID.
LAND JOURNAL send postal for that
speech and make the acquaintance of
the next prospective presidential
candidate of the Peoples Parry.
