Speeches by Attorney James Bishop. Edi-

Speeches by Attorney James Bishop. Edi-
 tor Pickett and Rev. A. F. MilIsr.
 Another enthusiastic republican rally was held at Masonic hall in the Ninth ward last evening. The hall was com pletely filled with voters from the Ninth and Tenth wards. The meet ing was held under the auspices of the workingmen's Republican club of the Ninth ward and Henry F. Marsh, chairman of the ward committee. pre- sided.
 The first speech was made by At
 torney Bishop. He said that although
 the republican party had over thirty years of efficient service to back 1t up,and would command the respect and support of many on that account, yet
 If the old party did not meet the is- sues of the present in q fitting manner
 1t would not obtain the support of hte rank and file of the workingmen of the country. They know what they
 want-protection from the disastrous competition of foreign workmen. They know also that the democratic party has
 not carried out their promises of
 fair and equable adjustment of the tariff. and they have before them an all too evident example of the inca pacity that party has for bringing
 prosperity to the country, when it holds
 the reins of power. The speaker also
 alluded to the respect of the federal election law, and the great injustice that would result to the great mass of the colored voters of the south. He then said that all the democratic con
 ventions had approved of the tariff bill
 as 1t had passed, while the demo-
 cratic president had pronouced 1t an
 act of perfidy and dishonor. So that
 if the democratic party as whole ap- proves of that bill, 1t will be false to its chosen leader and representative.
 He then exhorted those present to lend their efforts to support Mr. Sperry for congress and the republican nomina-
 tions on the state ticket.
 Editor Charles W. Pickett of the
 Leader was the next speaker, and he
 made rousing republican speech, in WnlCn ne set IOTLH lHe uoClilue dlu principles of the republican party in a clear and concise manner.
 Rev. A. P. Miller, pastor of the Dix we'll avenue Congregational church, was the next speaker He said that
 the democratic. party had been lying to the people ever since the foundation of the country, and that if they main tained in power the condition of the Afro-American race would be worse than 1t had been since the days of | 50. He said he had not found col ored democrat yet. And be thought
 that if it was bad for colored man to be a democrat, 1t was also bad thing for, white man. to 'beSone N. The last speech was made by Charles l.. Ayres who exhorted his hearers to put in their best efforts between now and election time to have the Ninth ward give 0 larger republican majority than ever before.
 MT. Marsh announced that another rally will be held at the same place next Friday night yr

 Shortly after o'clock they heard someone approaching and they located the men near the spot where the pro- visions were stored.

IT IS AN IMPORTANT CASE
THE SUGAR TRUST ISS UE IS BEFORE
 THE SUPREME COURT.

Upon the Courts Decision Depends Not
 Only the Result of Similar Suits, But tho
 Validity of tho Law to Accomplish tho
 Object Sought.
 Washington, Oct. 23.-Solicitor Gen. eral Maxwell will tomorrow appear In the United States supreme court to argue the sugar trust case. This Is proceeding instituted in the circuit court for the east district of Pennsylva- mia, to rescind the contracts by which the American Sugar Refining Co. be- came possessed of the stock of the E. c. Knight, the Franklin and Spreck- els Sugar Refining companies and the Delaware Sugar house on the ground that the purchase of said stock was in violation of the Sherman trust law and for an injunction against further violation of the statute.
 Judge Butler of the circuit court dis missed the bill, holding that no federal question had been made out and the court of appeals affirmed the decree In an opinion rendered by Judge Dalls and concurred in by Judges Acheson and Green. The United States there- upon appealed to the supreme court of the United States. Judge Johnson is expected to present the case for the sugar company to the supreme court.
 The issue of the case is regarded as of the greatest importance as upon 1t depends not only the result of similar suits instituted against other corpora tions alleged to exist in violation of the law invoked, such as freight traf- fic associations, but also the validity of the law itself to accomplish the ob- ject sought by its enactment, the pre- vention or suppression of contracts, combinations in the form of trust or otherwise or conspiracies in restraint of trade or commerce among the sev- eral states or with foreign nations"

 GIOS AN OVATION.

4 Crowd of Several Thousand Met Him on
 His Arrival at Wheeling and Escorted
 Him to His Hotei--Tho Streets Filled Up
 and He Made a Speech.
 Wheeling. Wa. Oct. 23.-After leav- Ing Parkersburg to-day the train bear ing Governor Mckinley made its first stop at St. Mary's. where the governor spoke briefly.

The matron of democratic family occupying a cottage adjoining the depot Invited the governor to her porch. He went upon the porch and to speak when a farmer cried out:
 What about theforce bill?
 People are not troubling themselves about force bills just now" retortcd the speaker. What they are most con- cerned about Is their board bills."
 At this the crowd yelled. When si- lence was restored the governor said:
 
 President Stevenson in a speech deliver ed yesterday said that ninety dollars to-day was worth more than hundred dollars two years ago. Derisive shouts of Oh! OhD That may be true, my friends, but who has got the ninety dollars? Shouts of nobody in this crowd.'D How many men who had nine ty dollars in 1892 have ninety dollars to- day. How many that had even ten dol lars two years ago have a single dol lar now. It Is not a question of how much money Is worth as how far the money will go. I tell you that rather than that the greatest monument that might be reared to my memory would I prefer the reputation that I was asso- ciated even in a small degree with a measure that contributed toward giv- ing work and wages to American citi- zens and happy homes to American workingmen. We have but one cry in this campaign so soon to end. And that is Protection, prosperity and patriot ism."

 With exception of official dispatches no telegrams referring to the czar's con- dftion are permitted to be sent from Li- vadia. Nobody known to be a foreign reporter Is allowed to reside in Yalta, hence the many untrustworthy rumors afloat. Odessa believed on the Fist and 22d that the czar was dead. The bulle J tin to-day caused the greatest anxiety and grief. All the members of the czars family, except the Duchess of Coburg, are now at Livadia."
