REGARDED AS A VICTORY FOR LABOR
English Workmen Think the Prosecution
OF Debs Has Been DrOpped.

London. Feb. 26.-In labor circles and
among the leading labor papers the sud
den termination of the trial of Eugene V.
Debs and his associates is being vigor
ously discussed. In this country mis-
trial on account of the illness of juror
is an unknown occurrence, mainly be-
cause of the fact that the trial of most
important cases rarely occupy more than
three or four days. Had Mr.. Debs and
his colleagues been arraigned at the cen
trail criminal court in this city the
chances are they would have been con-
victed or acquitted by the evening of the
third day On the hypothesis of govern
ment abandonment, therefore, the So
cialstic element of the labor party is
hailing the result as a great victory for
the cause of labor. There is some talk
among representative members of the
Social Federation of inviting Debs to
visit this city, and the matter may be
brought up at the next meeting of the
federation in March.

democratic Congressman Plan
ming the Next Platform.
FREE COINAGE OF BOTH METALS
Declaration Drafted Asking Voters to
Ser 1ba- Friends ODlv BE sent
10 COtven, lions.

Washington, Feb 26.-Routine mat
tiers on the floor of the house of repre-
sentativeS were overshadowed in inter
est today by the initiation of a brisk
movement to secure a majority of the
democratic members in favor of a finan-
cial policy having free silver for it's
keynote. For some time there has been
discussion carried on by the free silver
leaders of the party over the practi-
cability of plan to unite their forces
and to crystalize their ideas into some
sort of a platform or declaration. The
result has been the draft of declara-
ton addressed ITO the democrats of the
United States and outlining a finan-
cial policy for the democratic party.
This paper has been circulated on the
democratic side of the house and is
being vigorously discussed with the OBJ
ject of obtaining a consensus of opinion
of silver democrats upon it's expressions.
The chief instigators of the movement
are Messrs. Bland Of Missouri, Bryan of
Nebraska, Sibley of Pennsylvania and
Coffeen of Wyoming. Their paper is at
present but a tentative expression, they
say, and not yet in form for publication,
since none of it's details have been def
nitely agreed upon.
In substance it states that the finan-
cial policy of the party shall be for free
coinage of gold and silver on terms of
equality at a ratio of 16 to L. for the
issue of all paper money by the govern
ment without the Intervention of banks
and opposition to any issue of interest
bearing bonds without authority of a
special act of congress. The attention
of the people is called to the movement
said to be under way through the eff
forts of the opponents OF free silver in
the party to secure the election of gold
men as delegates to party conventions
and particularly to the next national
convention for the nomination of a
single gold standard man for the pres
idency. The democrats are charged to
oppose the movement and see to it that
none but free silver men are elected to
positions of influence in the party to
represent them in all conventions. If
the support of the majority of the party
in congress can be pledged to the finan-
cial platform, it is intended to issue a
manifesto to the democrats of the
United States within a few days. Al
the present time the declaration is IL
but a formative stage, Mr.. Bryan says
and it is intended to secure the views
of members and make such changes
in it as the majority of them dictate
There is a possibility that they may
not be able to agree upon any form O.

Hayward Murder Case Develops the Us
ual Line of Questioning.
Minneapolis, Feb. 26.-When the trial of
the Hayward murder case was resumed
today it was announced that County At
torney Nye could not be present. owing
to a funeral in the family. Assistant
County Attorney A. II. Hall conducted
the cross examination of Harry Hay
ward. Harry's connection with the loan
Miss Cling made on the flour mill at Ham
ell, and the collection of the loss when
it was suddenly burned. was thoroughly
ventilated. Harry was asked whether he
had not driven out to Hamel with Miss
Cling the morning after the fire. This
he denied utterly. The state proposes to
show on rebuttal that he is not telling the
truth. Harry described how he turned a
lot given him by his father into cash.
The proceeds had been nearly $4,000 and
this he partially lost at gambling, while
the rest he had given Adry in a sealed en-
velope, and il was put in the safe. He
declared that the most money he ever
lost at one time was $500 at the Twin
| City Athletic Club.

is RUNNING OUR CATTLE TRADE
Nelson Morris Tells of the Effect of the
Embargo by Europe.

Chicago, Feb. 26-Speaking of the de-
cree just issued by the French govern
ment prohibiting the importation of
American cattle, Nelson Morris, the we'll
known packer, said: I'VE shipped $1S,
600 900 worth of cattle products to France
alone last year, and this great trade is alb
solutely destroyed by the order of the
French government. l knew this was
coming some months ago, and with the
exceptions of two or three carloads not
any cattle products have been sent to
France in the last ten days. The effect
of the German and Belgium embargoes
has been to reduce the price of cattle of
the classes shipped to these countries by
$40 a head, and this French edict will even
more unjustly affect the stockyards."

and burned the native town of Nimbi.
The natives, who lost heavily, fled from
Nimbi to Bassouia, followed by the
British, who shelled the last named
town, but did not proceed further.
Sir Claude NJ. Macdonald, who per
sonally directed the operations, sent an
ultimatum TO the rebels that unless
they surrendered and gave up the pris
oners captured at Akassa a month ago
further attack would be made on
them.
An additional dispatch received from
Admiral Bedford this evening says that
Fishtown, another town on Brass river,

chiefs and people implicated in the at
tack upon Akassa have now been pun
ished, and no further operations are

determination to defeat the bill rather
than permit the adoption of this amend
ment. The amendment offered by Sen
ator Mills for the repeal Of all laws
authorizing an issue of bonds will be
opposed by those who favor the certifi-

amendments will be dropped after

Ex-Priest Slattery's Appearance
Caused the Trouble.
THE MILITARY CALLED OUT
Masonic Temple SURROUNDED by Mob
Of Five rn"u-and and Fusiladed
With Stones

Savannah. Ga, Feb. ga mob of
5000 people surrounded the Masonic
temple where ex-Priest Slattery lee
tured tonight. All the windows in the
hall were broken, and the entire white
military force of the city was out.
All day it had been rumored that
mobs would come from different parts
of the city and that Slattery would be
killed. At o'clock the entire police
force was on hand at Masonic temple.
At o'clock a bowling mob of over
1,500 surrounded the hall. The audience
inside numbered about 400, including
many ladies. AS soon as the lecture
opened cobble stones and bricks began
to rain on the windows. The mob then
made a rush for the entrance, but were
driven back by the police. BY o'clock
the mob numbered nearly 1000. One
window after another in the temple was
crushed Cries of xiii him." Down
with Slattery' were heard. At $3.50,
when the lecture closed, it was apparent
that there would be trouble when the
audience attempted to leave.
Additional help was called for and the
Georgia Huzzars, dismounted, were the
first to respond. The mob laughed at
this force of 80 men as it drew up in
front of the hall. Soon afterwards four
companies of soldiers swung into posi-
ton in front of the hall with fixed bay
onets and guns loaded with ball car
tridges. Six more companies soon ar
rived. making IL companies in all. The
militia then deployed, drove the mob
back a short distance and formed
hollow square around the hall. Captain
Dillon, a prominent Catholic, and Vicar
General Caffery addressed the mob in
the interest of peace. The mob was sui
len and defiant, but Slattery was finally
brought out of the hall surrounded by
military escort of four companies and
amid the kissing and jeers of the crowd
was safely taken to the Pulaski house.
Every door of the hotel was locked and
a strong guard left to guard the hotel
throughout the night. Several soldiers
and policemen were injured by stones
thrown by the mob.
(EX-Priest Slattery was in Spokane last
summer and delivered two lectures in
Music hall, afternoon and evening, his
discourses. consisting of denunciation OF
Catholicism and it's influence in America

sioners on behalf of the United States
