Governor Mckinley Talks.

BUFFALO, n. Y, May Ex-Governor Nc
Kinley, EN- route TO Columbus, O., from
Boston, stopped in this city a short time
today. In ar interview the governor said;
There is no danger OF a panic or any
danger of serious alarm. 1t is one of the
little iurries liable to come upon the peo-
pie and an administration at any time.
They come like thief in the night.
People at times create panicky
condition of affairs when there is
really no occasion for il. The most
dangerous part OF il all is in the
elect II has on the poorer classes. They
grow impatient and take their money
from the savings banks. These things are
always unfortunate and especially so when
there is no apparent reason for il. do
not credit this talk about hard times.
This country has too many resources and
too much money. Besides that. the peo-
pie, irrespective OF party affiliations,
have too much confidence in President
Cleveland. Thew stand by and hold up his
hands In every possible way needed.
"The president and cabinet are in q
better position to know the causes and
effects OF a stringent money market than
any OF their critics. They have the
means within their grasp OF getting at the
true condition OF affairs. If necessary
he could convene congress for the repeal
and enactment OF such measures as would
give any needed relief. There is no Ques-
ton about acting when he and his advis-
ers deem il necessary. In my judgment
the duty of the people at this time is TO
continue in the even tenor of their way
and all will come out we'll and right"
Think WalI-St. Is Responsible.
WAsHNGToN, May 5.-The panicky con-
dition OF Wall-st. today, though interest
ing the officials OF the treasury depart
ment, did not, they said, Immediately
concern them, as the department was
unable to aid the situation there. That
the trouble was not seriously thought of
is shown by the fact that Secretary Car
Isle only remained at the cabinet meeting
about fifteen minutes and then went to
his home. The matter was not even dis
cussed. There is a feeling among the
treasury officials. though they do not
openly express il. that Waist. specu-
lalors have brought the present condition
upon themselves and that the govern
ment is not in any way responsible for it.
II is said at the treasury that time has
passed when the government can aid
Wall-st. There was a time when, by
purchasing bonds. relief might have been
rendered, but that condition has gone by.
as the government is not in a position to
take such action. AS far as the treasury
department was advised at the close of
business today, no gold had been taken
from the sub-treasury at New York FOR
export Saturday. Small offers OF gold

he viii not meet William A. Brady, Cor
belts manager, in Canada on Saturday
to sign articles, despite the fact that he
gave his word that he would. This after
noon he said he wanted $40, 600 stake
money deposited in New Orleans. Be-
fore Mitchell left the Gedney house this
afternoon he issued letter, in which he
says he came to this country for no other
pupose than to fight Corbett. In order to
complete arrangements for a fight he
conceded point after point to Corbett.
After conceaing practically everything
he says the police threaten to arrest him
if deposit of SO. 900 is made or articles
signed.
Mitchell says he is not anxious to be
sacrificed upon the laws altar for a VIOLA
ton of the statutes against pugilistic en-
counters and proposes that Corbett meet
him in some state where articles may be
signed without transgressing the laws.
TO this end he suggested New Orleans.
1t virtually means that Mitchell wants to
fight IN Louisiana and not in the north.
1t is said that Corbett will insist upon

fall through.

Inquiry as to the Probable Attitude of
New Members on the Question.
PHILADELPHIA, Feb. pa special
gives the text of confidential circular
issued on the 18th inst. by the National
Democratic committee and sent to Demo-
Gratis in all the states, asking them to
make inquiry and report how the newly
elected Democrats who will be in the next
Congress will vote on measure to repeal
the Sherman silver purchase act. 1t says:
An analysis OF the vote on the Drew
Cate bill to repeal the Sherman act shows
that there were fourteen Democratic
members of the present Congress who
have been reelected and who did not vote
on Feb. 9, 1898, on Ordering the previous
question:, and that there are seventy six
newly elected Democratic members, thus
making nintyD who will sit in the
House of Representatives next Congress
who have never voted upon the measure
looking to a repeal OF the Sherman act. 1t
is important to know what the probable
attitude of those ninety Democratic mem
bers will be toward a similar measure
when offered in the next Congress- -

MORE TALK.
Terms of a Match Now Alleged t,
Have Been Agreed To.

NEW York, Feb. 23.-Judging from
latest developments the Mitchell Corbett
fight will take place. William A. Brady,
Corbett's manager, and Mitchell, accom-
panied by Squire Abingdon, met at the
Gedney House tonight and had a confer
ence. The result was, both men agreed
to fight and do away with further dicker-
ings. Mitchell has already deposited a
certified check of 500 with d
well known sporting man whose
name both parties refuse to make
public least he be arrested. The stake
holder is satisfactory to both Brady and
Mitchell. Articles OF agreement vii. most
likely be signed in private and not at New
Orleans or in Canada. Mitchell has not
gone to Canada as given out this evening.
He viii not leave the city for a couple OF
days at least.
Brady left on the u O'Clock train for
Boston Before going he SAID he thought
Mitchell was now sincere in a desire to
arrange a match. The match may be
made tomorrow or Saturday. Mitchell
said tonight the smaller the ring in which
he meets Corbett the better it will suit
him. He said he would give Corbett
81 900 for every foot of the
ring he will make smaller than
New Orleans to witness the Hall FitZ-
simmons fight, and not for a match.
The opinion prevails here among sport
ing men that Mitchell does not want to
fight in the north. but prefers to go
south. Mitchell denies this and said he
would as soon fight here as In New Or
leans

House deciding to take up the Indian bill
The appropriations committee author
lied the chairman to move a nonconcur-
renee in all the Senate amendments to the
sundry civil appropriations bill, includ-
ing the Sherman 8 per cent. bond amend
ment. The silver men will insist on a
vote on the latter before the bill goes to

A bill passed for the relief of George w.
Jones, the first United States senator from
the state of Iowa and late minister to
Colombia.
The sundry civil bill, with Senate
amendments, was referred to the COM
mittee on appropriations.
Mr.. Bland asked that it be reported
back as soon as possible, as he proposed
to have the amendments fully discussed in
committee of the whole.
At this point, Hilary A. Herbert of
Alabama, the new secretary of the navy
in Mr.. Cleveland's cabinet, appeared,
was recognized and accorded hearty
round of applause, which was so persist
ent that he was Obliged TO come forward
and acknowledge it in few words OF
thanks.
Then the conference report on the army
appropriation bill was presented and
agreed to.
Without disposing of the Indian appro-
priation bill the committee rose and the
House adjourned.

GOVERNOR STONES MESSAGE.
He demonstrates Against the Usurpation
of Power by the Government.

He demonstrates Against the Usurpation
of Power by the Government.
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo-. Feb. 23.-Gov-
ernor Stone has sent a special message to
to both houses of the legislature continu-
ing q defense of states rights and a re-
monstrance against the usurpation of
power by the government. The message
is suggested by the Imprisonment at
Kansas City of the county judge OF ST.
Clair county for contempt of the United
States district court for refusing to issue
a special tax levy to pay bonds issued
twenty-five years ago in and of proposed
railway that was never built. The mes
sage defines the lines between the federal
and state governments and says the as
sembly ought to take such action as may
sustain the outraged dignity of the state
and protect the state from embarrassment
in the future.
The message suggests that the legisla-
ture memorabilia Congress to so limit the
powers of federal courts as to forbid them
to compel state officers to perform any act
forbidden by the law of the state. The
message was appropriately referred and
the house ordered it to be spread on the
minutes and that 5000 copies be printed
for circulation.

MoNrANA,s CONTEST.
The Conviction Growing Stronger That No
Election of Senator Will Occur.

Election of Senator Will Occur.
HELENA, Mon, Feb. 23.-[special. i
The disappearance of Representative Co
der of Fergus county is the one sensation
of the hour in the senatorial struggle. He
is Republican but voted for Clark, the
Democratic nominee once. For this he
was roundly abused in hotel lobby by
Congressman Dixon, candidate of the
Democratic boilers, and Senator Sanders.
Dixon even wired to Washington to have
a bill called which he and Sanders both
had been urging to take the name of de-
serters from Coder from the army record.
Coder had leave of absence, and when
his time was up was sick and could not
report, and was entered as deserter. AS
soon as he got well he rejoined his COM
pany, served two years more and was
honorably discharged, but the record is
incomplete and he is on the army rolls as
honorably discharged and as deserter.
Since voting for Clark he has been
bounded until he finally secured pair
with Dixon Democrat and is supposed
to have gone home with no intention of
returning.
The Republicans are again charging
fraud and corruption on the part of the
Democrats. The two DAILY Populists
broke way from Dixon today and voted
for A. H. Mitchell, Popuiist, formerly
member of the Democratic national
committee. Marcus Daily has given it
out that his men would vote for ex-Gov-
ernor Toole today, letting Dixon drop,
but they did not. There is some talk that
the Republicans will stop, drop Mantle
and take up some other man, but most
people do not think there will be any cleo
ton and this conviction grows daily.

NARROW ESCAPE.
A Runaway Car Crashes Into Powder
Car at Aspen.


ASPEN, Colo, Feb. 23.-The chief topic
of interest here has been the escape of a
great portion OF Aspen from destruction
by giant powder. Workmen at the
Durant train at the south side of the Mid
land yards attempted to let car loaded
with lumber down the track short dis
lance, but it got away from them and ran
down the steep grade, crashing into a
box car loaded with 81, 200 pounds of giant
powder.
The force of the collision knocked in
the end of the powder car and number
of boxes of giant fell out onto the track.
the cars meantime going down the grade
at an increasing speed, the wheels crush
ing the powder boxes and grinding and
smashing the sticks of the deadly explo-
sive. The cars were finally stopped with
out an explosion having occurred, but
there were a goodly number of men work
ing in the yards and near the cars at the
time, and when some of them saw what
was transporting they ran for dear life,
shouting to others to do the same.
1t is miracle that none of the giant
exploded, and also a most fortunate
thing. The Midlandyards are surrounded
by residences and the business streets of
the city are quite near. The explosion of
one stick OF the powder would have
caused the explosion of the whole 81. 900
pounds and the loss OF life would have
been appalling, to say nothing of the i'm
mense damage to property which would
have resulted.
There is considerable indignation over
the affair, as it is felt that such cargoes
should be unloaded, as we'll as stored. at
a point sufficiently remote from the CITY
to insure against loss of life and damage
to property in the event OF an explosion.

STRIKING SWITCHMEN.
There Is No Change in the Situation at
Chicago.

CHICAGO, Feb. 23.-All trains entering
the city over the line OF the Chicago &
Western Indiana road were from on to
three hours late today, though the mails
were put through on time. Officials of
the road did the work of the switchmen
and say they have no fear of a strike In
other branches of the service. They ex-
pect to be running as usual within a few
days. The general managers of the roads
centering at Chicago met today and dis
clssed the situation. It was decided that
any reasonable demands by the men
would be given careful attention, but no
terms would be made with men who pre-
scented demands and refused to allow time
for consideration. Both officials and
switchmen of the Santa Fe declare there
is no probability of a strike on that sys-

LAID TO REST.
Funeral Services Over the Remains OF
General Beauregard.
Magnifcence. Number of Participants and
Evidence of Mourning 1t Ranked
with That of JEFF Davis.

NEW ORLEANS, Feb. 23.-The funeral
of General Beauregard ranked with that
OF Jefferson Davis for magnifcence, dis
play, the number of participants and
general evidences of mourning. The
doors of the city hall were not closed dur
ing the night and the chamber of mourn
ing was never without visitors. From
dawn till the hour for the funeral many
thousands passed by the bier and viewed
the body. The floral offerings were
numerous.
Archbishop Jenssens detailed dozen
priests, including Vicar General Bod
arts to conduct the services while Father
Baresche of the Jesuits delivered a brief
but eloquent eulogy. The honorary pail
bearers were officials OF the city and state
judges, leading journalists and many
prominent citizens.
The body was borne down the stairs of
the city hall by a detachment of the
Louisiana field artillery and the casket
placed upon caisson and wrapped in the
American flag. The militia headed the
funeral column under command of Gen
eral Borland, every company in the city
turning out in full quota of men. Vet
eran associations followed and then came
the inmates of confederate soldiers homes
in waggonettes. The caisson guarded
by mounted artillery followed and then
came line of carriages several miles long.
The various exchanges closed, business
was practically suspended and an i'm
mense concOurSe lined the streets in honor
of the dead. Although the procession
moved promptly and made no halt, it
took nearly two hours to reach the ceme-
terry and the remains were laid away in
the tomb. There were brief religious
ceremonies at the grave. A company of
veterans of the war and artillery COM
manded by Captain Frank McElroy fired
three volleys over the grave, the Louisi-
ana artillery fired three guns, the buglers
sounded ''taps" and the family were
lett alone with the dead.

KANSAS CITY, Feb. 23.-Trouble is

noon or night. The matter will be sub
mitted to the general grievance commit
tee, and if the demands are not complied
with strike will probably result at once.
