BRYAN,s LAW PARTNER SPEAKS.
Denies That He Has "Bolted" WiIlie--H
 is Simply Republican.

Lincoln Neb.. Oct. 12.-In a state- ment given out this morning MT. Tal- bot, republican candidate for the state senate and law partner of w. J. Bryan, says:
 q see that it is stated in the press re- ports that I have bolted MT. Bryan, my law partner, now the democratic candidate for president. I have always been and am now a republican, but no man has a greater admiration for MT. Bryan than I have. His honesty, integ- rity and patriotism cannot be question ed. I have not 'bolted' MT. Bryan, and any statement to that effect is untrue.
 T wish also to add that the statement in the press of the country to the effect that MT. Bryan misstated his financial relations to the defunct Germania Ma tional bank in his New London, Conn.,, speech is without foundation and un- true MT. Bryan at the time of the failure of that bank was not indebted to it in any amount whatever, and the bank held no note bearing his sigma ture. The indebtedness referred to in the dispatches was my own personal obligation"

coNDoNE rHE1R BAD TASTE.
English Yachtsmen's Uncilvil Reply to
 Howard Gould.

London, Oct. 12.-A meeting of the Yacht Racing association was held this afternoon, at which was drafted the following reply to the letter of Howard Gould, owner of the yacht Niagara, protesting against the action of the committee of the association in board ing and examining the Niagara in May last in the absence of MT. Gould and without giving him previous notice of their intentions:
 "Sir-I am directed by the council of the Yacht Racing association to &C., knowledge the receipt of letter from you dated September 2S. I am to reply that the visit of the committee was made in the usual course, solely in con- sequence of the official measurer hay ing in May, 1896, in the execution of his duty, reported to the council that the yachts water tanks were constructed together in such a manner that they might be used in shifting ballast. Mo- tice of such visits is never given.
 '"The committee expected to find you on board, but hearing from the captain that you had gone to London few minutes previous, they requested per- mission to inspect the water tanks, which was readily given. Their ob- servation confirmed the report of the measurer, and they recommended to you in writing that the tanks should be disconnected, at the same time ex- pressly disclaiming any imputation that the tanks were actually put to im- proper use
 "The council fails to perceive that any discourtesy was displayed toward you; certainly none was intended It is not necessary to enter into discus sion of the other points raised by your letter As you have thought fit to make public your grievance, this reply is given through the same channel

Damage Increases With Each Incoming
 Wave.
 Asbury Park, N. J., Oct. 12.-The storm which ragged to-day was the worst known along this section of the New Jersey coast in many years. As bury Park and Long Branch suffered to the extent of thousands of dollars and the damage continues with every incoming wave. At Asbury Park the waves to-day pounded heavily against the famous board walk. The planking has been torn up from Seventh avenue to Asbury avenue, a distance of over half mile and many of the piles are gone.
 At the foot of Sixth avenue several summer houses have been raZed and the granite monument marking the spot where the New Era was wrecked in 1854 toppled over and was wrecked. The Fifth avenue pavilion is in great danger The studio of the late Theo- dore Davis has been swept away. The Asbury avenue pavilion has been dam aged.
 The waves to-day ran over Ocean avenue, Long Branch, and large chunks of the famous drive went out with every wave. At the foot of Chelsea avenue the damage was unusually severe. Sea- bright also caught the full force of the storm. The Belmar pavilions are in danger of destruction.

ings at South Boston, and large num- Der of them damaged so badly that they will not be worth repairing. Cap tain Swim of the tug Florence, says he sighted a two-masted British schooner scudding before the wind under bare poles in Dorchester bay, but he was unable to learn her name. He fears she met with disaster. The fishing schooner New England, Captain Lewis, came into T wharf this afternoon from Georges, with fare of about 1S,- 900 pounds of mixed fish.
 Captain Lewis says he never saw rougher weather than was experienced between Highland light and the light ship. Just below the lightship two gi- gantic combers nearly engulfed the schooner, but by easing her off she es- capped with only her decks being swept. The New England saw no vessels in distress.
 The extreme high tide of this after noon seriously impeded traffic on the ferries.

pK1NhEY TALKS ON MONEY.
Tells Pennsylvania Delegation Wha
 Are It's Functions,


 Canton, Oct. 12-The Pennsylvania visitors to the number of six hundred arrived on a special train of eleven coaches at 1 o'clock. They came from the towns in the fourth pool" of the Monongahela valley.
 Major Mckinley said: ''We ought not to resort to the issue of bonds in the time of peace That opens the question as to what policy will save us from that. I do not know of anything that will do it better than protection. For is is proud fact In American history that in all the years-at least for the | most part-under which we have had a protective tariff we have always had ample revenues to conduct the ex- penses of the government (Applause.) Now, that policy, wisely and judicious-
 ly applied in public law is one of the first and most important acts for the people to perform. They cannot per- form it, however, without a republican congress and republican administra- ton.
 By your ballots three weeks from to-
 morrow you in conjunction with your fellow citizens in every part of the country will determine whether or not
 that policy shall previal for the next four years. I am in favor of that poli- cy, because, while 1t provides adequate revenue for the government it encour- ages the industries and occupations of ' te, +,f,,, in some quarters that what we need to
 bring about prosperity is free silver. do not believe it would be any freer | under free coinage to you than it is now. There would be just one way for the workingmen to get 1t, and that would be to earn it.
 There would be only one way for the farmer and the merchant to get and that would be to sell something for it.. Money does not make work; work makes money. The trouble is no work. Work puts money into circulation. Money does not want to be idle any more than labor wants to be idle. The man who has money wants that money to be earning something and the only reason he does not put it out now is because he is afraid that he will never get it back or get it back in a depre- ciated currency. And when he does not put it out and it does not circulate then there is no work. When you have idle men and idle money distress and suffering prevail.
 q think that you cannot have money too good. The money that will buy the most is the money you want and what you want now is an opportunity to earn it. You cannot earn it through
 the hints, but through the mills and mines, the factories and by honest toll. I believe that with returning confidence and confidence is half the capital of
 the world-money will come out from its hiding place, be invested in enter prises all over the country and put all idle men to work and so believing I stand for that policy which will most surely restore confidence" Applause )

RECREANr TO HIS TRUST.
Prominent Boston Merchant Arrested on a
 Serious Charge.


 Boston, Oct. 12.-Edwin Waite of the firm of Waite, Williams & Co.. oil mer- chants, 7S Batterymarch street, was ar- rested this afternoon on a warrant charging him with the embezzlement of $3,410 In default of bail he was com- mitted to the city prison. MT. Waite is fifty-four years old, is well known to the oil trade, and his arrest caused great surprise to a large number of business friends The warrant on which he was arrested was sworn out by Royal B. Conant, Walter w. Conant and Florence l.. Wheeler, children of the late Mrs. Alvira Conant, who charge Waite with appropriating to his own use $3,000 left by their mother in his hands as trustee for the children.
 Two years ago MT. Waite failed and it was then learned that he had invest ed the money in his business, but as he paid the interest regularly matters were allowed to remain as they were. Recently, however, attempts have been made to obtain payment of the princi- pal, but as these efforts were unsuc- cessful a criminal charge was brought MT Waite is confident that matters can be satisfactorily adjusted.

PALMER DEFEATS MURPHY.
Lads Fight for Bantam Weight Champion
 ship of the World.

London, Oct 2.-The fight tonight between Palmer and Murphy at the National Sporting club was won by Palmer.
 The fight between "Pedler'' Palmer of London and Johnny Murphy of Bos- ton, for the bantam weight champion ship of the world, took place tonight at the National Sporting club, and was won by Palmer. Both men were in ex- cellent condition, and each weighed-in at 1141a pounds. Palmer was a good favorite in the betting at odds of to 4.
 The Englishman forced the fighting from the outset of the battle. He was much the quicker in his deliveries and he hustled Murphy around the ring in lively style. In the first two rounds Murphy eailed to land single good blow. Nevertheless, he stood up brave ly and took punishment pluckily, as Palmer rained blows upon him with his right and left. The pluck of the Yankee boy was heartily applauded.
 In the third round Murphy landed one or two blows, but did no apparent dam age to his opponent Murphy started in in the fourth round with advantage, but he was terribly slow.
 Round after round Palmer rushed Murphy, but the American did not show he had been punished much until the end ofthe twelfth round. Then he went to his corner very tired. Before time was called, however. he pulled himself together and made splendid effort Despite his pluck he was terri bly battered. Al the end of the twen- tieth round Palmer was declared the winner on points. Murphy was not knocked out. Palmer's seconds were Baxter and Fitzpatrick, while Craig and Solly Smith acted in similar ca pacity for Murphy.

OFF MASSAGE UsETTs COAST.
Sailors Report the Bay the Toughest They
 Ever Beheld It.

Boston, Oct 12-That the present gale will prove disastrous to shipping no one has the least doubt, and the re- ports of the next few days will proba- ply bring intelligence of many wrecks. More or less damage has already been suffered and the storm has wrought havoc among the pleasure craft in this vicinity.
 The small schooner yachts Marie and Elsie broke adrift from their moorings in the Cow Pasture and were being driven to certain destruction when the tug boat H. W. Phipps gave chase and succeeded in picking up both yachts and lowed them to East Boston. The Marie had bowsprit carried away and the Elsie lost her head gear. The sloop yacht Egeria was driven on Rip Rap Wall this afternoon, and at dark one of her sides was smashed in and she was fast going to pieces. Sloop yacht May is ashore at the Cow Pasture, but it is thought she will be gotten off unin- jured.
 Between twenty-five and thirty yachts have broken from their moor

"DEMOcRATIC BRYAN"
New Designation Given Popocratic Ticket in Massachusetts.

Boston, Oct 12.-At o'clock this eve- ming the time expired for the filing of nomination papers for state officers. Shortly after that time Messrs. Tim othy w Coakley, Joseph A. Dennison. Christopher T. Callahan, democratic candidate of both certificates of the rival conventions and James A. Watson put in an appearance with nomination papers for a state ticket under the political designation of Democratic Bryan"
 The ticket was identical with that filed by the Music hall convention. The object in filing the papers was simply to make all necessary preparations for contingencies that might arise. The incident of the closing hours, however, was the hard luck of the peoples party. G. r. Cary was on hand about o'clock with the nomination papers for the ticket his party had decided upon. He had only 9S1 signatures.
