DANIEL TALKS FREE SILVER.

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va Oct. 3.-Sen-
: ator John W. Daniel, Hon. John e.
Massey, Gen. T. l.. Rosser. and Hon.
Late Pence, Populist, OF Colorado, ad
dressed an immense audience at the
courthouse yesterday
Senator Daniel made ringing speech
in favor of free coinage. He said that
the distrust did not grow out of any act
of legislation. The panic came latest
to America and affected France-that
had the most silver-least of all. The
Sherman law was not the cause. When
you find gold and silver boarded alike
you are bound to recognize the fact that
some broad, general agency is causing
the depression. He said both parties
were divided on the financial question.
The Democratic party ought not to
permit differences on this one question
to cause breach in the party. The in
terests of the people Of Virginia are
more nearly in accord with the opinions
OF tho masses Of tho world The new
party is doing more to destroy the pros
poets of relief than is even the Republi-
can party.
He endorsed some parts Of their plat
form, but opposed their doctrine favor
ing the issuance of illimitable paper
money direct to the people. He favored
State banks, and said nothing was Of
greater Importance except tho free coin
age of silver, and the Supreme Court
had decided them unconstitu tional.
In reply to q question from General
Rosser, whether he proposed to run
National and State banks side by side.
the Senator replied that he did The
Senotor's speech WAS q mastery produc,
ton, and produced favorable impress
sion on large assembly. He urged the
Democratic party to stand together.
The party has been the constant friend
of the people and was their only hope
for relief.
In short speech General Rosser in
troduced the Hon. LATE Pence, Popu-
list of Colorado, who spoke for one hour.
His speech WAS an endorsement OF
Senator Daniel, and denunciation of
President Cleveland. He charged Presi-
dent Cleveland with being Republi.
can, and declared that the Democrats
had not carried out their promises The
most of his speech was devoted to the
financial question, and in favor of free
coinage.
The Hon. John e. Massey followed
him in an able speech, showing up Gen.
eral Fields Inconsistencies and the
foliies OF the Populists. Loud calls
were made for Capt. Micajah Woods,
the Democratic candidate for Congress
to succeed Hon. Charles T. O'Ferrau.
Captain Woods responded in brief but
stirring speech, which ELECTED great ap.

BRUNSWICK, Ga, Oct. 2.-Three
deaths were officially reported and Is
new cases OF yellow fever appeared to-
day. Miss Rosa Nisi, the infant of Blount
Bowen and Mrs. Emma Willis, all
white. Two of the deaths TODAY re-
ported were unofficially reported by the
Morning News correspondent last night.
There were three physicians, Surgeons
Murray and FACET and DR.. Hugh Bur-
ford, absent from to.day's meetings.
Surgeon Murray was attending matters
at Gardi and Jesup. Surgeon FACET
was on Jekyl Island and DR.. Burford
was on st. Simons Island. Had these
physicians been able to report their
cases found In ths twenty-four hours
past since the last meeting q large in
crease would have resulted. Surgeon
FACET reports G. ]. Dorflinger's aus.
picious case at Fancy Bluff, South
Brunswick, only malarial fever. DR..
Burford reports no new cases on St.
Simons Island.
The Morning News correspondent is
positive that there are seven cases of
yellow fever under treatment on Jekyl
ASiehu' OhAf uNo, 90 laT as Gl6 CORES
pondent knows, have to date been re-
ported to the health board. Surgeon
FACET is attending them.
Seven that are now being treated were
DIR. Hugh Burford's patients. Some
thing has caused difficulty in getting
the names and location Of these patients.
Without regard to the effect it will have
on any ones property the correspondent
feels justified in reporting every case he
uthoritatlvely learns exists without
considering the local cities thus affected.
There are now 81 cases under treatment:
discharged, AZ; died, Il. Total, lsS.
Warm weather continues and an in
crease OF from SO to iCO cases at one
time can be daily expected. The force
OF physicians is now badly overworked.
Surgeon Murray has not slept, except
on car seats on special trains in four
days and nights. Surgeon FACET and
all the local physicians are undergoing
terrible physical and mental strain,
but they do not complain. Surgeon
Murray is marshaling bis forces to
meet a tremendous outbreak hourly
expected. All the local i'm munes who

bankruptcy Measure Passes tho House
Committee All Right.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 3.-The House
com mittee on Judiciary to-day decided
to report favorably and without amend
ment the bankruptcy bill introduced by
Mr. Oates, Of Alabama
When the measure was taken up by
the committee it was thought that it
would take at least month to dispose
OF 1t. All members of tho committee,
even those voting for the bill, reserved
the right to oppose 1t when it comes up
for consideration in the House and to
offer an amendment and substitute
for 1t.
The bill is similar to the Torrey bank
ruptcy bill and was discussed by the
committee last Congress for two mon ths.

ELIAS CONFIRMATION DISPUTED.
North Carolina Representatives Mt Odds
Over Presidential Appointment.

north carolina Representatives Mt Odds
Over Presidential Appointments
WASHINGTON, Oct. 3.-The alleged
contest between Ransom and Vance
over the nomination of collector OF in
ternal revenue for the district OF North
Carolina, broke out atresh this morning
in the Senate committee on finance,
which has charge Of such nominations,
and OF which committee Vance is
member. The nomination of ILop Elias
to fill the place was made by the Presi-
dent about the middle OF las; month,
the appointment being credited to Ram
som. Naturally, Vance, who is opposed
to the administration on tine silver
question, Is opposed to the conhrma-
tion of Elias, but, IL is said, places his
objection on higher grounds than poli-N
cies, and attacks his qualifications for
the office.
There ia also a Republican side to tho
contest, for Settle, the only Republican
representative from North Carolina, is
said to be as hostile to Elias as is Vance.
In the event then that Settle is able to
command the utmost side strength of the
Republican vote and Vance the silver
Democrats it would appear that Elias
would have hard road to travel in
reaching confirmation. Almost the en-.
tire time of the committee was con
sumed In their discussion of this case
and nothing definite was accomplished.
ELIAS was before the committee himself
and made statement.
The charge against Elias is that of
unprofessiopal conduct in the mango
ment of certain matters in his capacity
as attorney. He answered those charges
fully, but whether to the satisfaction of
the committee remains to be seen There
will be no special meeting OF the COM
mittee as has been rum red for the pur-
pose OF considering this case, and it
will take the usual course. going over
until next week.

Government Control of Railroads.

Adler men than have proved to sat
isfaction that under government care
not only could cheaper railroad accom-
modations be obtained but better ones,
and the examples Of Germany. Russia
and Australia have demonstrated that
it is as practicable for railroads to be
run by the government as it is to admin
istrate the milling system or to handle
an army and navy What difference
would there be between IL navy ward and
car shop: 1t has been demonstrated
by these countries that, though the ac.
commodations are better and cheaper.
still Il surplus remains, which flows back
to the people. and what is moro impor-
tant. that there is no possibility of rail
road strikes, and thus of sudden in
corruption of the circulation of com.
modities.
have endeavorod to place only one
side OF the question i'll its proper light
viz, that new times require new forms
of government. and that the functions
of the government must constantly be
changed so as to adapt themselves to the
needs of the people, which in their turn
are brought about by changing condi-
tons If this one side of the question be
properly understood. MI arguments and
objections against the naturalization Of
railroads must fall to the ground This
