What 1t Costs IL Human Life To Be a
Famous Fishing Port


Gloucester, october 23.-The fishing
year is near its nd, and it is the custom
at this period to- review the business in
it's different phases. The most melan-
choly of these TO the statistician is the
making of the roll of the brave men who
have found their fate On the oceans
broad expanse. During the year there
have been lost at sea from this port 81
men, leaving 10 widows and 81 children.
Ten vessels, valued at about 1000,
foundered or stranded this season. But
two, the new Genesta, thrown down by a
squall. and the old type Pioneer, sunk at
sea- From 1880, since a record has been
kept, through 1898, there have been 5S6
vessels cast away at sea, of a value of
So. ZOO, 600, the number of lives lost be-
ing 1881. Including those lost from this
port on the sea prior to 1880, the list of
the lost will amount to about 5000 per-
sons. Such has been the price paid for
the supremacy which the town enjoys as
being the greatest fishing port in Ameri-
ca and perhaps in the New World.

IN THE BUCKEYE STATE.
Signs of the Times Point to Glorious
Republican Victory.

Colum bus, Ohio, October %. The
Ohio. campaign may now be said to be in
its closing days. 1t has been a campaign
of hard work. Governor Mckinley and
Mr.. Neal have led their respective parties
the from beginning. Since the opening of
the Republican campaign at Akron on
September 12, there have been but three
days, Sundays excepted, that Governor
Mckinley has not made from one to three
speeches each day. He has thoroughly
canvassed the northern, eastern and
southern sections of the state, and will
visit every county in Central and Western
Ohio before the close of the canvass.
From the beginning his meetings have
been remarkable for their size and
enthusiasm. The people are anxious to
hear the issues discussed, and the per-
sonality of the distinguished Protection
ist has added to the interest.
While the Democrats are not making as
many great demonstrations as the Repub-
licans, they are not idle. Mr.. Neal is
making a thorough canvass of the state
and speaking every day. Colonel Talyor
is also on the stump, devoting his time
to state affairs and making such wild,
stateraen is sth at hss4.s. IN 5sd sa2se
cause Of Democracy more narln tEssi
good Up to this time Neal and Taylor
have had little help, but from this time
on they will have assistance from outside
the state. They are counting on ex-
Governor Campbell doing great work in
the way of stirring up the laggards. The
campaign from the beginning has been
fought on the tariff issue so far as Mr..
Neal and Governor Mckinley are con-
cerned. The issue is closely confined and.
each leader occupies the most extreme
ground of his party.
Everything points to a splendid Repub-
lican triupmh. There are few Democrats
but are willing to admit that Governor
Mckinley will be elected. The point at
issue is the majority The Democrats
do not believe it will exceed 10, 900, while
Republicans claim plurality anywhere
from Is, 00O to 10000
The workingmen are with the Repub-
licans this year as they were with the
Democrats last year. The soldiers, too,
will be unit for the Republican ticket.
The only thing to be done now is to get
out the vote. Two of the three registration
days have passed. The figures go to show
the interest is all that could be desired.
From the result of the two days regis
tration it is almost certain the vote will
exceed that cast at the Presidential
election last year,

Washington, October 23.-The pledge
addressed to Mr. VOORHEES, and signed by
the Democrats still lacks seven sigma
lures to make it complete, not counting
that of the chairman of the finance COM
mittee himself Those who have not so
pledged themselves are Messrs. Hill,
Irby, Mills, Villas, Cafferty, Mitchell OF
Wisconsin and Mcpherson. 1t is under
stood that two at least of these have not
refused to sign. The conference commit
tee came to no conclusion today as to
what should be the next step, but it
was generally agreed that the compro-
mise was off.
The conference committee went into
secret session this morning at 1890
with orders that no one was to be adj
mitted After half an hour spent In de-
liberation other Senators came and
went, and it appeared as if Democrats
were being consulated upon the new
situation that confronted those i'll charge
of the bill.
The action of the committee was
heralded by the anxious faces of the DEM
ocrats in the Senate chamber this morn
ing, although there were many who IN
sisted that the compromise bill would be
presented and passed. The prevalent
opinion was, however, that the an
nouncement that the President was OPP
posed to the scheme, was sufficient to end
it's chances.
Senator Aldrich, who has discussed the
matter with his colleagues, said this
evening that he believed the Republicans
in the Senate, with the exception of
something less than dozen, would favor
a reasonable closure rule, but they were
not inclined to take up with the sugges-
tions found in any rule submitted to the
Senate up to this time. He was quite
sure the Repu blicans would not join in
any request to the Vice President, and
that the closure they favored must come
before the Senate in the regular way. :
Senator VOORHEES, this morning received
/ the following telegram, which explains
itself: eff the Wilson silver repeal bill
now before the Senate should by chance
pass that formerly wide-awake but now
very sluggish body, with the words
added thereto that the act shall take
effect on and after July, 1924, or eYe2
from January /, 1895, it would still be
unconditional repeal and would be SO ac-
cepted generally.
1--WE want unconditional repeal, but if
the time for it's taking effect is postponed
few months it would not be serious
matter as compared with the serious con-
sequences to the affairs of the country
which each days delay of action by the
Senate produces.

He Thinks We May Become a Dependency
of Great Britain.
Washington, October 23.-The silver
purchase repeal bill was laid before the
Senate at 10. 80 this morning.
Mr.. Stewart gave notice OF an amend
ment for pan-American monetary con-
ference to assemble at Washington with
in nine months and for the adoption OF a
common silver coin to be legal tender in
all commercial transactions in the
countries represented.
Mr.. Jones, Rep, of Nevada, resumed
the floor and continued his speech
against the bill at the point where he left
off on Saturday. Mr.. Jones took up the
question whether the United States
should follow the example OF Great
Britain: because some people asserted
that if the United States did not follow
the example of Great Britain, it would
have to lay itself down alongside of Asia,
of the East Indies and of Mexico.
He spoke of the creditor classes of
Great Britain, and how, through the in
strumentality of the gold standard, they
had reduced their partisan classes to
HELPLESS and pitiable condition, and had
to seek profitable investment for their
capitai in the United States. If those
creditor classes of England could have
their own way now, Mr.. Jones said, in
debating and shaping the national
policies Of this republic, the sufferings
and heroisrn of its founders would have
been in vain
The governing classes of Great Britain
oot, $50. 600, 900 a year in interest and on
other accounts from India, and more
than twice as much from the United
States. If this pending measure became
a law the United States would dlsplace
India as the principal dependency of
Great Britain
Mr.. Jones referred to the order of the
British government last summer closing
the mints of India to silver, and to the
announcement by the New York papers
that that was the doom of silver"
Where, he asked, was the United States
government then?
= The position OF it's chief magistrate on
that question was well illustrated by the
line from Emerson, | am the doubter
and the doubt" but in the words of the
supplemental line the genius of the
republic admonished the President, as
we'll as Great Britain, they reckon i'll
who leave me out.
The people of the United States did
not propose to be left out of the consider
tion as to what the material of their
money should be. The United States was
not vet dependency of Great Britain,
nor was the President governor general
The virile and masculine people of this
country proposed to regulate their own
affairs without orders in council or or
ders from Downing street.
Alter Mr.. Jones had been speaking about
two hours and half he pleaded that he
was tired, and said that he would like
to continue his speech at some other
No objection was made, and Mr.. Teller,
Pen of Colorado, took the floor and pro-
ceeded with an argument against the bill
which he had begun some time ago.
The Senate took a recess until 1890 a.

FELL 200 FEET.
Worlds Fair visitors Take Wild Plunge
in an Elevator.

Worlds Fair Grounds, Chicago,
October 23.--Thirteen visitors to the fair
fell, in an elevator, 200 feet from the
landing under the great roof Of the Man
ufacturers' Building, at $40 o'clock Sat
urday night. Their lives were saved by
the brakes on the car, which caught and
held it 80 feet from the floor. Elevator
man Ben Sharpe had just started from
the landing, 2S feet from the roof, with
car crowded with passengers. For some
reason he suddenly lost control of it, and
it shot downward at tremendous speed.
The passengers were at first stupefed
by the sudden descent, and it was not
until the car stopped that they realized
their danger Over half were women,
and it was all the mon could do to quiet
them. A number Of Columbian guards
saw the car drop and sent in a call to the
fire department. Marshal O'Malley, ac-
companied by the hook and ladder truck,
came to the building. A 30-foot ladder
was placed against the cage, and O'Mal-
ley and Lieut.. Ryan assisted the passen-
gers to descend.

a uniform system of bankruptcy through
out the United States was taken up, and

a uniform system of bankruptcy through
out the United States was taken up, and
Mr.. Oates of Alabama, supported 1t.
He said humanity appealed for leglsla-
tion which would enable the poor de btor,
after he had honorably surrendered his
property for the benefit Of his creditors
to be discharged from his liabilities.
Failure to pay commercial paper after the
expiration of thirty days was not a
sufficient cause tosforce a debtor into
involuntary bankruptcy unlessss-rlt be
proven that he also was insolvent. The
bill was not intended to be a machine tor
the collection of debts, but means bv
which poor debtor should be protected
and his creditors secured against rascal
ity and fraud
Mr.. W A. Stone of Pennsylvania, fol-
lowed in opposition to the bill. He said
the country had not reached stage
when a universal bankruptcy act could
be maintained. Among the people gen.
orally such legislation was unpopular.
He had read letters from Judges Mitchell,
Williams and Dean of the Supreme Court
of Pennsylvania, arguing against the
enactment of such legislation. Letters
were also read from Judge Spear of the
Ohio Supreme court, and Judge Earl of
the New York Court of Appeals advising
against the passage of a general bank
ruptcy bill.
Mr.. Sibley, Democrat, spoke against
the bill. He characterized it as iniquitous
legislation and did not believe there was
a bank in New York which could not be
forced into bankruptcy under the pro-
visions of this bill
At 3.45. the House adjourned.

fhe privateer in defeating a British
soiiadron in September, 1914.
The battle between the Armstrong and
the British ships occurred in the harbor
of FayaI, in the Azores, where the Arm
strong was lying at anchor On Septem-
her 26. 1915, the vessel was attacked by
H.M.S. Plantagenet, "A guns; the frigate

Reid defeated the three English ships,
which were part of an expedition concen-
tratirg at Jamaica to Join Admiral
Cochrape before New Orleans, and Reid S
stand detained them until too late to be
effective in fighting Gen. Jackson. This
detention, it is claimed, saved New
Orleans and Louisiana from British con-
quest.
In 1915 the United States made claim
against Portugal for indemnity in allow
ing British vessels to fire on an American
ship in one of it's harbors, and President
Zachary TAYLOR submitted the question
to the arbitration of Louis Napoleon,
who decided against the United States.
Reid had died meanwhile and turned
over the prosecution of bis claim for in
demnity to his son.
for the benefit of the owners, officers and
crew Of the Armstrong, and the present
claimant, Sam Chester Reid, secured
counsel fees and his fathers share,
amounting to about $40, 900. Some Of
claimants did not appear and Mr.. Reid
contended that the SIG, 900 set aside as
their share should be given him. Secre-
tary Gresham can find no authority for
SO disposing of it, and the matter will
probably be sent to Congress for action.
Since the time If Mr.. Frelinghuyse who
distributed thf congressional reward,
other secretaries of state have held that
MI. Reid is not entitled to the money.

Mr.. Redmond advised his visitors to
