SECRETARY MORTON.
Comments SarcasticalIy on the Results
of the Election

OOIHHIoulB ohICdSIlCdIiy Ou tHo hoeuItS
of the Election.
WASHINGTON, Nov. S.-Secretary
Morton, in an interview published this
morning, speaks of the elections in sar-
castle terms as being remarkable vindi-
cation of those friends of the Admins
trAlion and opponents of the Wilson bill
Senators Hill ana Murphy of New
York, Smith of New Jersey and Calvin
S. Brice of Ohio"
Carefully stating that he speaks only
for himself. the Secretary OF Agriculture
adds: The recent chastisement which
has been administered to the Democratic
party by the Democrats themselves will
undou ubtedly be fully remem bered by the
delegates to the next National Conven-
ton. The recollection will teach those
delegates that the platform of 1896 must
state political and economic doctrines un-
evasively, unsquivocaliy aud trutbtully.
The y ational Convention will further
be logically convinced before meeting, it
sedms to me, that honest money is ne
cessity to honest people and an honest
administration of Individual and Gov
ernment affairs. Such being it's faith,
that convention must declare in favor of
a currency depending upon gold for its
ultimate redemption. 10 my mind two
units of value are absolutely unthinka-
BILE. Personally l am in favor of dec
laration IN the next Democratic national
platform committing the party to gold
monometallism. The richest resources
of any country in the world, the l. niteG
States, can and must have the greatest at
tainable untluctuating purchasing power
in all of its coined money. The gold and
silver pieces Except the subsidiary ones
of the latter meta) which wear the Mint
stamp of this Government should have a
bullion value equal to their coin value"

LONDON. Nov. 8.-A dispatch from
Constantinople TO the Times says that the
entire body of foreign diplomats accred-
tied to the Turkish Capital regard the
present condition of things as unbear-
able. The sole policy of the Sultan in
the circumstances is that of playing off
the Powers against one another, a policy
which he has pursued in many previous
emergencies with success, but upon this
occasion he is completely nonDlussed
by the unanamity of the representatives
OF the Powers pressing their demands.
The correspondent of the Times does
not expect that there will be fanatical
outbreak against Christians. The danger,
he thirks. lies in another direction.
BERLIN, Nov. 8.-The correspondent
of the Cologne Gazette at Constantinople
informs his paper that Baron Won Der
Glotz Pasha, Second Chief OF the general
staff OF the Turkish army, and also a
mem ber Of the Turkish Ministry of War,
asked leave yesterday TO resign his COM
mission in the Turkish army.

THREE GREATEST ACTRESSES
Bcrnhardt, Modjeska aud Duse Have
No Living Rivals

Bcrnnardts MOdJeska aud DuSe Have
No Living Rivals.
There are; perhaps, only three living
actresses now in active life TO whom the
title great would be applied 10y conn
mon consent. These are Sarah Bern
hardt, Helena Modjeska and Eleonora
Duse. Janauschek, alss! although still
upon the stage, belongs 10 the past, while
Ellen Terry, with all her dainty skill and
radiant charm, has not yet reached those
nights to which genius alone can aspire.
Each of them excels in ways peculiar to
herself.
Bernhardt, after carrying off all the
laurels offered in the artificial and de-
clamatory school OF French tragedy, has
devoted her maturest powers to the illus
tration of the most violent passions con-
caivable by morbid Imagination. Her
achievements in this direction have been
extraordinary. and her dramatic genius
cannot be disputed; but some OF her
latest triumphs have been won in def
ance of most OF the laws of nature and
many of the rules of true art
Modjeska, if less potentin the interpre-
tation of the tiercest emotions than her
French rival, need fear no comparison
with her in poetic tragedy; while in the
field of poetic comedy she IS unrlvaled.
Her performances of Juliet, ROsalind
and Ophelia are almost ideally beautiful.

EX-CONSUL WALLER.
He Is Reported to BE Dying in a French
Prison.

Prison.
NEW YORK, Nov. 8.-A Recorder
special from Washington says: John l..
Waller is dying in the prison at Mines.
His family. who are waiting here anxi-
ousiy upon the State Department, do not
believe that he will live another month.
Letters have been received from him in
which he predicts his early death. Every
member OF his family, and there are six OF
them In all. has received touching mes
sage OF farewell. He tells his wife and
children that he is sinking fast, and that
they will probably never hear from him
again.
Unless Waller was actually in the seri-
Gus condition he represents tile prison
censors would never have allowed his
letters TO be sent. II g was i'll when he left
Madagascar. Ever since he has been in
the prison ut Mines he has been sustained
on invalid's food. and it is now q
question of only a short time before that
will prove insufficient to maintain life.

Report That American and British
Capitalists VIII Complete 1t.
CHICAGO, Nov. S.-An afternoon
newspaper publishes a lengthy article
purporting to give facts regarding new
deal, the consummation of which will
mean the complete construction of the
Nicaragua Canal with American and
British millions, purely as private en-
terprise. aided materially by Chicago capi-
tai as represented in newly-invented
canal machinery in successful operation
on the Chicago Drainage Channel. 1t is
stated that all attempts TO obtain financial
aid from the United States Government
through Congress will be abandoned and
if it should develop that the charter
granted the Nicaragua Maritime Canal
Company by Congress is likely to prove
EN- barra. sing, ii will be surrendered
without hesitation.
With revised estimates of the cost of
constructing the canal, based on the great
saving through the use OF tho improved
excavating machinery owned by Chicago
contractors and inventors, it is said the
canal promoters went TO London and laid
their tempting plans before tie money
kings of the worlds metropolis. For
months these tinanciers have been investi-
eating the proposition, AMI the great deal
is on the verge of consummation. The
new figures call for the expenditure of
between $1,000, 900 and Ss5, ,JOO.O .OJ0.
In substantiation Of the truth of this, it
is asserted that engineers and other ex-
perts in the employ OF the Nicaragua
Ship Canal Construction Company. which
has invested S9,O0O,00J in the Isthmus
canal TO date, have been camping for
months on the line of the Chicago Canal
from here to Joliet, observing the won
derful mechanical improvements in ditch
digging OIL huge scale. When they re-
turned to New \ ork, 1t is said the reports
gave such an encouraging report OF the
