one to make the bond.

and are always anxious to lend any
assistance to their needy friends in
this line.

RICHMOND POPULISFS SHOW CONFIDENCE
They Predict the Success of Their
State Ticket.
DEMOCRATS CLAIM ONLY15,O 900.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star
RICHMOND, Va, Nov. 3.-The populists
and republicans are rejoicing today over
their big combination rally held last night
1t was the largest gathering of the cam
paign and is a good indication of the head
way the populists are making, even in this
city, the stronghold of democracy
The populists claim that they will elect
their state ticket by twelve or fifteen thous-
and majority.
They concede that the democrats will Sc
cure the legislature.
The small majority claimed by the aemo-
Gratis, 15,OO0, is significant. Chairman Elly-
son says it will be at least that large This
Is very modest claim considering the fact
that Gov. Mckinney received over 1000
majority.
From a non-partisan view of the situa-
tfon 1t is safe to predict that the democrats
will elect their ticket by a small ina Jority.
The material reduction, however, of the
democratic majority by the populists will
no doubt be very encouraging to the latter.
The democratic managers are arranging
Tor a big rally to take place in this city
probably Monday night on the eve of elec-
ton day. Well-known orators will be pres
ent and they hope to offset the feeling of
disanection in the ranks of democracy Gre
ated by the big populist rally last night.
Senator Daniel has taken the stump in
earnest and will speak both day and night
until election.
Tomorrow night he will address a monster
democratic demonstration at Danville and
will wind up Monday night in Franklin
county.
Encouraging news for the democrats
comes from Louisa county. conceded to be
the hotbed of the populists, to the effect
that the democratic nominees for the first
time since the campaign have hopes Of sue
cess.
The campaign now is a veritable whirl-
pool of activity. and the fight will be waged
hot and fast until next Monday night.

THE TARIFF QUESTION.
Mr.. Payne Says That the Mckinley
Bill is Working Satisfactorily.

MIR. Payne of the minority of the ways
and means committee says that It is his
idea that the republicans will have nothing
to offer to the tariff question except a re-
port on the result of their examination Of
whatever bill the democrats bring in, the
republican position being that the Mckinley
bill will ill the requirements of the country
and that no other legislation is necessary.
The hearings" he said, disclosed very
clearly that the Mckinley bill is operating
satisfactorily. Even the democrats who ap-
peaTed before the committee stated that the
measure was satisfactory in its operation
as To their special industry
Mr. Payne said that the republicans would
probably nave no suggestions as to increaS-
ing the revenues except that if it could be
made known that the Mckinley law would
De undlsturbed fO- two years there would
be lmportatiOns enough to bring in all the
revenue the government would need. He
thought the sole trouble now was due to the
1act that goods were not being imported as
long as there was doubt as to what the du-
ties would be in a short time. He said the
democrats appeared to be entirely in the
dark themselves as to what they would do
and that the country was in a correspond
ing condition of uncertainty.

Opening of the Cherokee StriD.

Secretary Lamont yesterday transmitted
to the House the report of Col Heylupon the
part taken by the United States troops in
the opening of the Cherokee strip, and the
killing of Mr.. Hill. Col HeyI states that
he made an impartial Investigation of the
killing of NJ. Hill, also a searching inquiry
into all the circumstances connected with
the opening of the strip. The report shows
that Hill was killed in the southwest corner
of Cherokee strip after having made a run
of about three miles from the Kansas line
Sergeant Willard, the report says, was zeal
Gus in the discharge of his duties, and after
firing few shots to stop the rush, allowed
the crowds to go without further effort to
stop them, seeing that it would be useless.
In conclusion, Col Heyl says that if it had
not been for the presence of troops the
Cherokee strip would have been oyerrun
and entirely filled with schooners

MANY FINANCIAL MEASURES
introduced in Both Houses During tn,
Extra Session.
Hearings Had Upon Some-Two Have
Been Postponed Until the
Regular Session.

The extra session of Congress, ending
today, was noted for the number of finan-
cial measures introduced in both houses
and referred to committees for considera-
ton. They included coinage bills of every
character imaginable and propositions to
amend the national banking laws without
end.
Half a hundred bills relative to the bank
ing laws were referred to the House COM
mittee on banking and currency and were
the subject of many hearings. Bills repeal
ing the tax of ten per cent on the circula-
ton of state banks were numerous and
received the most attention. Members from
the west and south seemed favorable to
relieving the state banks of this tax and
many of them appeared before the COM
mittee to advocate the passage of some
measure having this end in view. Members
from their sections also spoke in support
of the propositions to allow national banks
to make loans on real estate security. Mem
bers from the south claimed that this
would be a great help to southern plant
ers in moving their crops and several OF
them earnestly advocated a measure OF
this kind pending before the committee.
To Increase the Circulation.
Propositions to increase the circulation
were many ana varied IN their character
and came In for their share of the hear.
ings. The only bill reported from the com.
mittee was one introduced by Mr. Cox OF
Tennessee restraining and forbidding the
officers and employees of banks from alb
Sorbing the banks funds. 1t does not pro.
hiblt the officers from obtaining loans, hut
IL forces them to resort to a certain meth.
cd of application for the loan that gives
full notice to any director of the bank. Ii
also requires the minutes of the bank tc
disclose the directors who voted for the
loan. 1t prohibits overdrawing by any one
connected with the bank.
The proposition to repeal the state bank
tax was postponed until the first
meeting of the committee in December
The reason for this action was that Con-
gress would soon adjourn, and further that
ii was supposed the President, Secretary
of the Treasury and the controller of the
currency will have recommendations and
suggestions of a financial nature to make
when Congress meets in December.
Another matter that was presented to the
committee and postponed until December
was the suspension of the tax of ten per
cent imposed on issues of banks of clear
ing house certificates made during the
period of financial stringency. The com.
mittee were favorable to the proposition
but postponed it because there was no great
necessity for acting upon ii Immediately
The Coinage Committee.
The committee on coinage, weights and
measures received the coinage bills, but did
not act on any of them, as it became evil
dent early in the session that the repeal
bill was the only measure of this nature
that would receive the attention of Congress
at the extra session.

competitive rest OF hnp10 Fire Guns.
During the past two days a series of very
interesting competitive tests have been in
progress at the naval proving ground at
Indian Head, between the Hotchkiss, Spon-
sci and Driggs-Schroeder six-pounder rapid
fire guns
The board appointed to conduct the tests
consisted of the following well-known naval
officers: Lieut.. Commander Couden, Lieut.
Commander Sperry. Lieut.. Mason. Prof.
Alger.
The Hotchkiss gun passed the ordeal up
to the point Of extraction OF a cartridge
case, which had been rosined, when the
extractor bent, and the block could not be
forced home.
The Sponsel went through the test sue
cessfully, but like the Hotchkiss was un-
able to eject the rosined case but no in
jury resulted to the eXtractors.
Both the Hotchkiss and Sponsel were SUBJ
jected to excessive chamber pressures up to
twenty tons per square inch, with no dam
age to either weapon.
A defective cartridge broke the firing pin
OF the Driggs-Schroeder gun, and the latter
was withdrawn from the contest until a
new firing pin could be procured.
