BILLIE,s RooMLEr.

Columbus, O., Oct. 15-Not all the
Republicans of Columbus attended the
Mckinley meeting tonight, for the one
reason that they could not. The great
rink is roomy enough to furnish seat
ing accommodation for some 1000 per-
sons, but tonight it held fully twice
that number. Men and women literally
fought for admission. There was a big
procession of the local clubs with half
a dozen bands, rockets, colored fires,
booming cannon, and there were thou
sands on the sidewalks.
Stretched over the platform in the
rink was a banner with pictures of
Governor Mckinley and the words
For President in 1896" The governor
spoke for an hour and a half. warming
UP the great audience to the highest
pitch of enthusiasm.

ENTERS A CHRONIC STAGE.
War Between China and Japan May
Last Much Longer Than Was at
First Thought.


London, Oct 15.-Dispatches to the
Times from Tien-Tsin. which will be
published tomorrow, say that the Pei
Yang squadron has been able to leave
dock completely refitted with maya
zines filed and otherwise fitted for
active service. An imperial edict has
been published at Pekin, assuming for
the government full responsibility for
the protection Of the foreign residents,
ana Furnishing certain culprits who
have taken part in the recent assaults
on travellers. The edict assures stran-
gers that their persons and property
will be protected and its wording es-
pecially favors the missionaries. The
whole Tone of the edict is entirely sat
isfactory.
The Chinese oVertures for peace hav-
ing been rejected without a hearing,
the war now enters on a chronic stage,
demanding an appeal to the latent
forces Of the empire. The latter are
described as being quite great, but it
is added that they require time in or
der to organize them. The Chinese gov
eminent is prepared, though reluctant
to do so. to engage in a protracted
conflict. The party in power recog-
nizes the urgency of radical military
and fiscal reform. The question is,
how long viii the natural cohesion
hear the strain of a reat war? The
danger IS, the corresr Ident adds, that
a revolution may be followed by pro-
lenged anarchy.

their horrible condition. The left hand
of James was torn to shreds, necessi
tating amputation, his eyesight was
destroyed and his head, face and upper
part Of his body filled with fragments
of metal from the cap shells and the
metal box in which they were con-
tanned.
George was mangled about the head,
one eye was gone, and he viii lose the
sight of the other, the first and second
fingers of the thumb of the left hand.
James was found near the place,
still holding a half burnt cigarette. It
is supposed that the boys found the

the cigarette caused the explosion.

At Morris Park.

New York, Oct 15.-Attendance at
Morris park on this, the last day of the
racing season in the state, was very
large.
The chief feature was the contest be-
tween Sir Walter, Clifford and Rubi-
con at a miiesand a quarter, carrying
weight for ages. Sir Walter was the
outsider, while the other two were ia
vorites. Sir Water went out at once
to make the pace after the fall of the
flag and carried the others up the hill
at a merry pace. 1t was not long be-
fore the pace began to tell on Rubicon,
and when they began the downhill
rush through the stretch, he was beg
ging for mercy, although he stuck to
his work until the last quarter, when
ne quit. Simms was riding Clifford and
although he did everything possible to
win, he could never get neaFer than a
length behind Sir Walter, who won in
the fast time of 2:07.
There was a fine finish between the
fayorite. Our Jack, and the second
choice. Declare, in the Pelham bay
handicap at mile and a quarter in
which Declare won by a neck. Griffin
was not able to do justice to Our Jack
and had the jockeys been reversed, the
favorite would have won.

Miss Frances WiIIard's Reasons for
Thinking So.

Philadelphia, Oct. 15.-At todays SEES
sion of the w. c. T. u. convention, Miss
Francis Willard made an address. The
big Baptist temple was filled with peo-
pie and the famous advocate of tenn
perance was greeted with much enthusi-
dSm.
Miss Willard said women should have
the right of suffrage, not because the
women were better than men, but be-
cause they were different
Down with the gambling house:
down with the saloon: down with the
den of infamy," said the speaker, and
up with the white flag of pure
America
Miss Willard paid glowing tribute
to Susan B. Anthony and said she
would stake anything that Rev. Dr.
Parkhurst would ultimately come out
In favor of woman suffrage.
Miss Willard concluded by making an
appeal for funds with which TO send
women to the south for the purpose OF
organizing the colored women.

Pocatello. Ida, Oct. 15.-[Specal.1 j
This has been a red letter night for the
Democrats in Southern Idaho.
The Republicans had the opera house
with Hon. Willis Sweet, Judge Stanrod,
Colonel Ferguson, and Colonel Miller of
Salt Lake, for speakers, while the DEM
ocrats had the large pavilion with the
anatchless Powers as the speaker for
the evening.
They needed no other, judging from
The fact that notwithstanding precon-
certed efforts of the opposition the large
pavilion was crowded to overlooking.
Popuhsts and Republicans alike crowd
ing in to hear the judg'S eloquent eX-
position Of tariff and financial matters
Measures We're taken early to bring
about joint debate between Judge
POWERS and Willis Sweet for the even
ing, but Chairman Hays wired back
from Boise that the Republicans would
not accept the challenge.
The Democrats had Worels band up
ON the streets as early as O'Clock, and
for an hour before the judge opened
the ball an incessant stream of sky
rockets lit UP the heavens. The Re-
publioans had out a band and torch
light procession. and manoeuvered in
all possible manners to draw the crowd

-eAAS SlCdiL petNlllO1 Was IeSIOOflNQ with
fiags and flowers, and held a much
greater throng than patronized the OPP
era house and 1T was of the best people.
The ladies were out in full force to
near Powers speak, and for an hour
ana hfty-fve minutes he held the lis
teners spell-bouhd, as he hurled great
ana telling truths at Republican ma
chinations.
BE handled the tariff and silver
questions in a manner that left no
room for doubt in the minds of unbi-
ased listeners, and on the labor ques-
ton he was eminently clear. He gave
convincing proof that Republican leg
islation gave to us the Sugar trust and
other trusts, and that the passage Of
the Wilson bill brought with it the
first ray of light for the people after
so many dreary years of Republican
maladministration.
The Pullman troubles were recounted
in so thorough and vivid a manner as
to make deafening applause from the
entire audience and the speech
throughout carried his hearers in such
way as to make votes for the party
OF the people, which is Democracy,
first, last and always.
Upon mention of Joe Rawlins the
house fairly shook with applause
It is conceded, even by Republicans,
that they have no speaker in Idaho
that can stand up in joint debate with
Judge Powers, and the G. O. p. are feel
ing sore over the Democrats bringing
him TO Idaho at this time.
He goes to Salt Lake direct and
speaks at Springville tomorrow.

THAT ALCOHOLIC TANGLE.

Washington, Oct 15.--Another compli-
cation has arisen regarding the free
alcohol section of the new tariff law
Secretary Carlisle. owing to the failure
of Congress to make the necessary APP
preparation. is unable to put the law in
to effect Notwithstanding the secretary s
decision, it is contended that alcohol used
in the arts etc. is free since August g.
Users of alcohol in medicine and in the
arts want to know whereof they violate
the law in removing revenue stamps from
will have no evidence on which to base
claims against the government for the re-
turn of duty paid since the law went in
to effect. On the other hand, as the law
now stands. they are liable to heavy
penalties for not destroying the stamps
when the barrels are empty.

TILLMAX ONCE AGAIN.
zone of Gods NobIemen" Mixed Up
In q WhiaISy Question


in a Whisky Question.
Washington, Oct. Ex-Governor TIL
man, of South Carolina. was at the treas
ury department. today and had an in
terview with Commissioner Miller, of the
internal revenue bureau, in regard to a
question on which there seems to be a
conflict between federal and state au-
thorities. Under the dispensary law of
the state of South Carolina, distilled
spirits in the custody of the United States
in bonded warehouses belonging to parties
who have violated the provisions of the
dispensary law by selling them within
the state are declared to be a nuisance,
and on conviction the state officers are
authorized to seize and confiscate the
licuor. In all such cases the governor
proposes to tender the tax due the gov
eminent and seize the spirits, contending
that the federal authorities have no
RICH to interfere in the matter.
Commissioner Miller took issue with
the governor and cited several decisions
Of the courts, among them one by the SUI
preme court of the United States, wherein
it was held that goods in bonded ware
houses were not subject to any process or
proceedings issing from a state court
and that so long as the government retain
ed control of the goods its jurisdiction
and authority was supreme.
No final decision. however, was reached,
and il is probable that. in difference to the
wishes OF Governor Tillman. the question
will be referred to the encouragement for
opiniOu.
