THE CAMPAIGN

At the general election in November
last it was the talk Of the towns that
there was no Democrats left in Rhode
Island. The vote, however, proved
other wise. And today the same old
cry is raised and various occurrences
pointed out to prove the fact. And again
we are confident the election next
month will show different result.
And why should this not be SO? Why
10 it that those who have been Demo-
orats in the past are not, and cannot be
Democrats still? Has the Democratic
party changed? Is it passing through
. process OF disintegration? Has its
policy changed9 Have the fundamen-
tal principles that have governed its
action since the foundation OF the gov
ernment been discarded and new set
adopted? We think not. The party
il the same and those who have stood
by il in the past will stand by IL still,
provided it's leaders be faithful. Par
ties, like men, do not change in day.
And the party here in. Rhode Island is
the same.
In this election II the voters will only
examine with care their ballots and
Judge between men, when no measures
are at stake, the State will again be-
come officially, as IL really is in fact, q
Democratic State. Those who know
Hon. George l.. Littlefeld know this
he has mind Of his own, and he il

orous manner 90 that there can be nc
misunderstanding as to what he means

In the suit of the United States Cir
emit Court of Philadelphia.

philadelphia, Sept. 14.-Thomas Hart,
II. counsel for the Philadelphia and Read
,ng Railroad Company, to-day filed the
company's answer in the United States
circuit court to the suit brought by the
pennsylvania Company for assurances on
lives and granting annuities, the trus-
ice. for the foreclosure of the general
mortgage.
one of the main points dwelt upon in
the answer is regarding the notice OF
James Bell a holder Of general mort
cage bonds. Denial is made that the
demand on behalf Of Mr.. Bell for pay
r1enr Of as coupons of general MORTGAGE
bonds Of $40 each, falling due July l, 1885,
was such a demand as is provided by
the terms of the mortgage.
Answer is also made to a number Of the
allegations, and much information Is gwen
relative to the indebtedness of the COM
pany, etc.
The following are the salient portions OF
the answer: The aggregate of the general
mortgage bonds outstanding on August
last is given as SAG, 475, 1SS. After admit
ting sundry formal allegations emade in
the bill of complaint it is set forth that
the amount of the obligations of the re-
ceivers Of the said companies issued IN
der and in pursuance of the orders of the
court is, of Aug. 1, 1895, the sum Of
s. 100. 407, of which s., sos, $50 were issued on
account of the railroad company and $197,-
525 on account of the coal and iron COM
pany."
The matter of the Bell demand is then
taken up. 1t is stated that the railroad and
coal and iron companies, deny that any
demand was made upon the railroad COM
pany on behalf of James Bell for the pay
ment of AIS coupons of so each, falling due
upon July !, 1888, upon said general mort
gage bonds. They deny that the said
James Bell or anybody for him or on his
behalf made any demand in writing for
the payment thereof. They deny that the
written notice set out in paragraph 13 of
the bill is a demand in writing within the
terms of article of the general mort
gage"
The floating debt of the railroad COM
pany on Aug. l, is stated to have been 81
218,0f7, and that of the coal and iron COM
pany on June 30. Sl,S75.O0O.
The collateral pledged for the floating
debt of the railroad company is $3,555 CO.,
and for the coal and iron company. SO, 1885,
00O. A statement of the other liabilities OF
the company's as of July !, 1895, is also
given. Those of the railroad company foot
up $36, 365. S73. 1t is stated that in addition
to this the company is indorser of notes
of the Philadelphia and Reading and New
England railroad for $780, 600. The liabili-
ties of the coal and iron company amount
to 1850 646. In this connection it is stated
in the answer that the defendants, how
ever, aver that there are in the hands OF
their receivers certain unpledged assets
Of every considerable value, which may
be applied to the payment of their liza
bilities.
There are also large sumes of money
due the receivers from connecting railroad
companies and various other debtors a
large part of which is colleetable.
The bill of complaint is asked to be dis
missed.

MORA CLAIM SETTLED.
Senior De LONE Hands MIR. Adee "A
Draft for the Amount in Full.

Senior De LONE Hands MIR. Adee al
Draft for the Amount in Full.
Washington, Sept. 14-After more than
twenty years Of controversy, which sew
eral times theatened to bring about strain
ed relations between Spain and the United
States, a draft for the amount of the in
demnity demanded by this government
for the confiscation of the Cuban estates
citizen of the United States, was deliv-
cred to-day by Senior Dupuy DeLome. the
Spanish minister, to Mr.. Adee, the acting
Secretary of State. All that now remains
for the final settlement of the claim will
be the arrangements of the assignments
made by Mr.. Nora to creditors and the
delivery to him Of the residue.
There was no ceremony about this cul-
minating act on the part Of Spain. Senior
DeLome appeared at the state depart
ment a few minutes after noon and was
Immediately shown into the Office of Mr.
Adee. He handed to the latter a draft
signed by himself on the London finan-
cial agent of the Spanish government for
295, 412 pounds, 16 shinings, II pence, the
equivalent of $l,449,OOO or 100000 Span
ish pesos, and Mr.. Adee delivered in re-
turn a formal receipt for the amount
signed by himself as acting Secretary
of State. This constituted the whole
transaction and Senior DeLome and Mr..
Adee uttered some polite commonplace,
shook hands and departed as though they
had been attending a minor matter of
business instead of making history.

WOMAN SUFFRAGE.
What south Carolina Women Are
Doing In Its Behalf.

Columbia, S. c., Sept. Alt would not
be at all surprising if the constitutional
convention granted the right of suffrage
to women. There are many who shake
their heads and say that such a thing
is impossible, but the lobbying of the
''fair ones IS beginning 10 tell, and
many a hitherto opponent Of the sys-
tern is beginning 10 waver, and before
the women are through with their work
many another poor fellow will be
brought into the tolls. Mrs. Nebiett and
Mrs. Virginia d. Young are putting in
some very effective work. They are lay
ing sentiment aside, and a frivolous
minded man finds little to laugh at when
they present their arguments TO him.
The matter OF woman's suffrage is being
considered in a serious way, and many
a member Of the convention is asking
himself why the right should not be
granted them. when he nears the argu-
ments presented in the way that these
high minded women are doing. Mrs.
Neblett and other woman suffragists viii
address the convention next week, and
the arguments that they Will make will
be eye openers to many, who have never
regarded the matter in any but a frivol-
GUS way.
Mrs. Neblett expressed herself to the
Morning News correspondent yesterday
as being highly delighted with the prog
ress that her forces are making, and
she declares that she is confident of sue
cess-the degree only IS in doubt. The
committee on municipal corporations, to
whom was referred the matter of al
! lowing women to vote in municipal cleo
tions, have agreed to recommend a plan
by which women will be allowed to vote
| through agents, but it is safe to say
that the convention viii brush away any
such. intervening obstacles. and provide
methods for women coming directly to
the polls.
Mrs. Neblett says that she feels GER
tain that no clause viii be inserted in
the constitution prohibiting the legisla-
ture from granting the right, and wheth-
er they do not get all they want from the
! constitutional convention, the question
viii be left open and they viii be able
| TO continue the fight before successive
| legislatures until South Carolina arrives
at that degree Of civilization as to be
| able to see the matter in the true light,
and show herself ready to accept the
| principle for which the revolutionary
war was fought: mo taxation without
| representation"

The Southern States Passenger and
Freight Associations have been invited to
hold their next regular meeting in sa-

freight bureau wrote letters yesterday to
Commissioner w. W. Finley of the pass
enger association, and to Col. H. s.
Haines, who is to be commissioner of the
freight association, extending these invi-
tations.
He told Commissioner Finley how
thankful Savannah is for the action of the
passenger association in extending tour
lists rates to this city, and
suggested that it would be a
good idea for the association to meet
in a city that was so important from a
passenger traffic standpoint. He men
toned to Col. Haines the Importance of
Savannah as a freight and commercial
center and said he hoped that Col. Haines
would call the first meeting of the associ-
alton here after he had been selected to

INDIANA GOES no HALIFAX.
Cramp VIII stick to His Intention to
Use the Nova Scotia Dock.

Use the Nova Scotia Dock.
Washington. Sept. 14-Mr. Charles
Cramp, the Philadelphia ship builder, had
a talk with Secretary Herbert to-day
about the request made by the Secretary
Of the Navy that the new battleship In
diana should be locked in the new naval
dry dock at Port Royal S. c., and not in
Halifax, Nova Scotia Secretary Herbert
has no authority in the premises, as the
Indiana has not yet been turned over to
the government.
Mr.. Cramp recently informed the de-
partment that he would dock the vessel
at Halifax. giving as his reason that there
was no adequate arrangements for so do
ing in this country. To this Mr.. Herbert
took exception, and informed Mr.. Cramp
that the Port Royal dock was ready. In
their conversation to-day Mr. Cramp in
dictated to Mr.. Herbert that he would stick
to his original intention of taking the In
diana to Halifax. He said that as the
Port Royal dock had not been tested yet
by any vessel he did not like to make the
first attempt and would prefer that the
government should be the first to try it"
as the slang phrase goes.

assailed cannot be attacked except upon
production of ample evidence which musr
be furnished by the government. and that
the applicant once having been granted
pension cannot be afterward required
TO furnish evidence TO sustain title to it.
