HILL ON THE STUMP IN OHIO.
THE REPUBLICAN LEGISLATIVE
CORRUPTION SHOWN Up.

The German TariR Bill Praised and
Good Times Prophesied-Au DEM
Ocrats Agreed on the General Prin-
cipIe of Tariff Reform-NO More
Mckinley Tariff Rates Wanted by
the People of This Countryside
Puts in n Good Word for Senator
Brice.
Lima, o., oct. 26.-Ten thousand peo-
pie attended the demonstration to-day,
the first day Of the campaign. and OF
Senator d. b. HHrs first appearance.
Senator Hill, ex-Gov. Campbell, Senator
Brice and John Peaslee arrived at noon
on a special train in Senator Brice's prl-
vate car. They were met at the depot
by three bands and 1000 people. The
strong wind prevented the meeting from
taking place on the public square, so
the New York senator spoke at the opera
house, while the other statesmen mace
addresses in Music hall, and then the
programme was reversed, the senator re-
peating his speech in Music hall.
He talked considerably on the line Of
Gov. Campbelrs argument about corrup-
ton in the Ohio legislature. He praised
the German tariff bill, and prophesied
good times in the near future. The sem
ator expressed himself as pleased TO
speak in Senator Brices home on his
first visit to Ohio. He said he admired
the Ohio democrats and gladly availed
himself Of the opportunity of spending
few days among his Buckeye friends.
In speaking Of the tariff, he said that
it was not possible to strike down those
who had been enriehing themselves at
the expense Of the government without
some trouble and friction. There was
difference of opinion among democrats
as to the details of the tariff measure,
but all agreed on the general principle.
The GOrman-Wilson BILL the senator
said, did not meet his approval in al
respects, but its aim was right as the
government was entitled only 10 raise
sufficient revenue to conduct the aualrS
of the country. Now that business was
improving Sanator Hill said, no one in
the United States wanted the Mchlnley
He spoke highly of Senator Brice. for
the part he took in securing the law,
doing so without any personal interest
In speaking of Ohio affairs he said that
the republican bosses had been running
the affairs of the legislature for their
personal gain. At the state convention
everything in sight was parcelled out
and never was a more corrupt bargain
made in politics, while the democratic
convention assembled without preparing
any slate before hand.
The senator also said that the eyes OF
the country were on Ohio and every state
was watching the result, owing to the
nearness of the present campaign.
AT night there were torch-ight parades
and music and speeches by minor states
men. Senator Hill and party left for Day
ton in the evening.

TRANscONTrNENTAL TRAINS.
The santa Fe Roads Claim of the
Fastest Flyer Disputed.

New Orleans, Oct. 26-Last nights dis
patch from Chicago in reference TO the
fast train to be started over the Atchi-
son. Topeka and Santa Fe railroad on
Tuesday, Oct %, and claiming that 1t will
be the fastest regular train ever run in the
world. that distance. caused big laugh in
railroad circles here to-day. The claim
appears to be made in entire ignorance
OF facts.
The Chicago claim is as follows: "The
new train will leave Chicago at p. m,
and win reach Los Angeles. Cal. on Fri
day at .. m., making the run Of 2.265
miles in seventy-four hours, allowing for
the difference in time. Previous to this
the world was the California limited over
the Union Pacific. which made the run
from Chicago TO San Francisco, 2,2J5 miles
in 50 hours and 10 minutes It's average
rate of speed for the entire distance was
2l.6 miles an hour, while the average speed
or the Santa Fe train viii be 3).f miles an
hour for the entire distance"
Now for the actual facts in the case

Southern Pacific from New Orleans MAJ de

miles,. or an average Of 3S miles. This
year, commencing next Thursday, the

an average of 3lia miles an hour, stoppages
included. For Chicago to claim that about
z miles an hour is the fastest long dis
30 miles an hour train to be inaugurated

FRANCE AND MADAGASCAR.
The French Control of the Island
Complete Under the Treaty.


Complete Under the Treaty.
Paris, Oct 26-The evening newspapers
here publish the full text of the treaty
of peace concluded by France with Mad
agascar upon the occupation Of Antan-
anarivo by the French expedition. The
treaty comprises seven articles. In the
first article the Queen Of Madagascar
accepts the protectorate of France and
that power accepts all the consequences
of such protectorate, thus putting an
end to the hopes of the parties who are
advocating the annexation of the island.
The other articles stipulate that the
French resident general shall control all
relations between Madagascar and for
eign nations. France receives the right
to maintain military forces on the is
land and the French resident is to con-
troll the internal government Of the is
land The Hova government is not al
lowed to contract loans without the au-
thoriZation Of France, which assumes
the financial responsibility which Mad
agascar has heretofore contracted, but
will assist in the conversion of the loan
contracted in 1886, and also note the

SPLIT OF THE SOCIALISTS.
The Dissensions in the Camp in Ger
many on the IncrenSe.

mahE on the increase.
Berlin, oct. 26.-The dissensions in the
camp of the socialists are growing apace.
Six public mass meetings of socialists
were held in Berlin Thursday night, at
each Of which the socialist delegates to
the social democratic congress recently
held in Breslau reported upon the pro-
ceedings Of that body. The reports hay
ing been made the meetings proceeded to
handle the delegates very severely, and
We're especially harsh in their treatment
Of Deputies Fischer, Schoenlank, Schip-
pet, Singer and DR.. Arons. The attacks
that We're made upon these delegates
We're couched in extremely violent Ian
guage, freely interspersed with epithets.
Herr Fischer became greatly excited and
IN replying to his critics declared that the
attitude OF the socialists of Berlin could
only De compared to a gathering of Old
women covenucles. This retort created
t4elllSuuOus upfOaf- Almost all OF the
meetings adopted resolutions harshly crit
lcislhS the deputies mentioned.
IT was announced yesterday that the
German anarchists would hold congress
at Elberfeld in the early part Of 1895
with view of uniting the various groups
OF the sect into one party, and estab-
IisLlhg newspaper organs and discussing
the different leading questions of the
day. The aErarian question has not only
rent the socialist party asunder, but the
Ratlngeu in Westphalia, on the occasion
OF a meeting held there. Herr Won
Ploetz delivered a powerful speech, con-
cluding with the usual demand for the
acceptance by the meeting of the agra
rian scheme embodied in the proposals
submitted to the Reichstag last year by
the Polish agrarian leader, Count Won
kanitz, together with the proposal OF
other remedies for the agriculturists.
The president of the Rhenish Peasants
Association replied TO the speech Of Herr
Won Ploets, and startled that gentleman
by declaring that the agrarian league
was itself chiefly blamable for disturbing
the former fiourishing condition Of the
agriculturalists.
THE fact is' he said, 1.-THE agrarian
league is quite as Jealous in sowing dis
content as the socialists are. 1t is now
just a year since the fall of the admin
istration of Chancellor Won Caprivi, and
one is compelled to ask what the agra
rians have gained thereby. Knowing
how strong a hand they had in that
chancellors downfall, the agrarians
greeted the new ministers enthusiastic
ally. The latter have done nothing for
them, while DR.. Won BOetticher and Frei-
herr Marschal Won Bierborstein still re-
main in oIiice in spite OF agrarian in
trigues."

DRY GOODS DEALERS FAIL.
One of the Largest Houses at Louis
VILE Forced to Assign.

Louisville. KY, Oct 6.-Bamberger,
Bloom & Co., proprietors of one of the
oldest and largest wholesale dry
goods houses in Louisville, made
an assignment this afternoon 10
the Columbia Finance and Trust
Company, for the benefit of all their credi-
tors. The liabilities are estimated by the
firm at $1,20OO00, and the assets are nomi-
nally valued at about the same. About
$780, 900 is due LouisV4.-e banks.
The largest part of the liabilities con-
sists of Indebtedness to houses in New
York, where Levi Bamberger, one of the
members Of the firm, resides.
The assignment caused general surprise
on Main street, as the house had long been
regarded as one of the most solid financial
concerns in the city. Six years ago the
firm suffered a heavy loss by fire. Mr.. Lee
Bloom, the general manager said to-day
that the house lad never recovered much
of it's trade lost then, and was further
crippled by the panic of two years ago. He
said the assignment was precipitated by
the early maturing of heavy obligations
and the restrictions recently placed on the
firms credit in New York.
