CHARLESTON, 5. c., July 25.-There
were no startling developments in the case
OF the filibustering schooner Commodore
to-day. Early this morning she started
across the harbor. The cutter Coifsx fol-
lowed her down 20 quarantine, where the
two remained until afternoon, when they
returned. The cutter has an officer
aboard the Commodore. but for what pur-
pose is unknown. There are nearly a
score OF Cubans from New York. in the
city. who are in constant communication
with the agent OF the Commodore, and
il is thought that they are going on her.
and II is this that the Colfax proposes

HOMESTEAD EXCURSION.
The Bosses Pay and the Employees
Take a Free Ride.

Washington, Sept. 12.-Mr. c. R. Pay
ton of the Democratic headquarters,
has received the following letter from
Hugh O'Donnell, the labor leader at
Homestead, which is made public.
O'DOnnell is now town clerk of Home
stead:
Your letter of the 7th at hand. In
reply would say that I do not think the
wOrkingTnen of Homestead have forgot
ten July 6, 1892, nor the cause which
produced it, and when the votes of
Homestead are counted a decided ma
jority will be for Bryan and free silver.
"As to the excursion to Canton on
Saturday, it was gotten up by the sup
erintendent and bosses. They held a
meeting at one of the mill offices (there
was not a WOrkingm presently, ap-
pointed committees and telegraphed to
Canton. The parties getting up the ex-
cursiOn may or may not have been
prompted to such action by the firm.
1.-THE pay day has been changed from
Saturday to Friday, and the entire
plant will be closed down. This is
something they were never known to
do before. I suppose a large number of
Democrats and Republicans who will
vote for Bryan and who are well aware
that they might lose their jobs if they
did not go to Canton will prefer to do
so. You know they have no labor or
ganizations here now. No doubt you
are aware that DR.. John Purman of
this place is the Democratic candidate
for congress, and as he stood by the men
in the conflict of 1892 and has always
been a friend and supporter in the
cause of labor, and as everything points
now to his election in this (the Twenty
fourth) district, this is an effort on the
part of the firm or their superintend-
ents, to create the impression that he
will be defeated.
You may rest assured that the num-
ber of people who will be on the excur-
sion Saturday will not mean that Nc
Kinley will get that number Of votes in
Homestead. With the mills closed down
and plenty of free tickets, they cannot
very well help having a crowd. Very
truly yours,
III. J. O'DONNELL."

WILL NOT TAKE THE STUMP
Hanna Says That Mckinley is to Re-
main at Home

Chicago, Sept 12-'Mr. Mckinley is
not going to take the stump said Marc
Hanna. THE Democrats undoubtedly
would like to see him chasing over the
country in a wild scramble for votes, as
Mr.. Bryan has insisted upon doing. Mr..
Mckinley will continue to conduct him
self as a man who appreciates the dig
nifty and the Importance of the position
he seeks. He will not lend himself to
any catch-penny scheme for the sake of
satisfying the curious or of making
himself talked about. I have heard
this subject discussed, and I think that
I know what I am talking about when
1 say Mr.. Mckinley will continue to ad-
dress the people who visit him at Can
ton"
The declaration was in reply to the
question as to what he would do with
the monster petition now circulating
among wOrkingmen of Chicago asking
Mckinley and Bryan to engage in a
joint debate of the money question for
their benefit in the Coliseum.

GLADSTONE MovED TO WRATH.
Calls the Sultan of Turkey an Assas
sin and Berates European Cow
ardice.

London, Sept. 12.-WiIliam E. Glad
stone has written still another letter
denOuncing the sultan of Turkey. In
this communication Mr.. Gladstone says:
In my opinion, the assassin, and not
his Mohammedan subjects, is the au-
thor of the massacres.
From first TO last their atrOcity has
no parallel in recent history. The con-
cert of Europe is miserable, disgrace
full mockery and some sOvereigns and
governments have given direct cOunte-
nance and support to the assassin. In
deed, the presence of the embassies at
ConstantinOple is in itself substantial
countenance and support to him and his
guilty proceedings. The coercion which
should long ago have been applied to
him might even now be the means of
averting another series of massacres-'
The rumor current on the stock ex-
change today that a cabinet council is
to be held tomorrow is, upon investiga-
ton. found to be incorrect.

SITUATION is SHAKY

New Orleans, Sept. 12.-There has
been a lively run on the Peoples bank
Depositors f1ocl1ed to the institution
and formed into line before the paying
teller's window. So many people were
in line that it extended clear into the
street. There is considerable eWcite-
ment but no trouble of any kind. All
checks for S1OO or under are being rap
idly cashed.
The failure of the Bank of Commerce
which everybody thought would be able
to weather the wave of distrust and
suspicion which the recent wreck of the
American National bank has caused a
very shal1y feeling among deposftors.
There was a large crowd outside the
Peoples bank but everybody VISA order
