Lawrence, Mass, Oct. 26.-The fire in
the Washington mills, which broke out
late last night, was under control at 8
o'clock this morning. 1t was confined to
the dry room, dye room, cooling room
and a portion of mill No. A. The three
rooms and their contents were destroyed.

The property is covered by a blanket
policy. The officials refuse to give an es-
innate of the loss, pending the arrival of
the insurance men. Spontaneous com
bustion is the supposed cause.
Agent Chaplin is non-committal, al
though he said this morning that the loss
will be enormous. Probably $1,000 worth
OF stock in the dye house was ruined, and
$4,000 motor was rendered useless. The
finishing room is flooded with water. The
extent of the damage to the stock here

3OOO

Canton. O., Oct. 26.-This was a day of
splendid surprises for Maj. Mckinley and
his friends. They were not expecting a
lively time, or any very large delegations.
but 1t proved to be the most important
Monday of the campaign. and seven dele
cations, one numbering about 5000, came
to pay their respects to the candidate The
belief that, owing to the nearness of cleo
ton day, delegations would contain fewer
persons, seems to have been unfound-
ed The delegations came to-
day from Massachusetts, New
York, New Jersey, Pennsylva-
MIA, Ohio, Indiana and Illinois The
throngs were possibly more enthusiasts
than ever, and Maj. NIcKinleys health
and voice were at their best There was
an uncommon variety in the character of
the delegations, and all branches of honest
toll and professional life sent representa-
tives. The weather was delightful

filled tonight by 1900 persons, who attend
ed the welcome meeting to the Armenian
refugees, held under the auspices of the

the national Armenian relief committee,
the Armenian Relief Association and the
Salvation Army. The Salvationists turn
ed out in force. Commander Booth-Tuck-
er presided in the absence of Rev. T. De-
Witt Talmage. Among those on the plat
form were DR.. Grace Kimball, Ira San
key, Consul Mrs. Booth-1ucker and about
fifty of the refugees. Letters of regret
from Mayor Strong, Right Rev. Bishop
Satterlee and others, and a cablegram
from Mr.. Gladstone to DR.. Talmage were
read The cablegram was as follows: Il
rejoice in the rescue of any faction of the
Armenians from the fangs of the great
assassin. So long as the inaction of the
powers continues the situation will be
shameful, as we'll as sad, but the deeds
are recorded both in heaven and before
man, and constantly accommodating horrors
may yet work the downfall of that crying
iniquity known as the Turkish empire.
"Gladstone.|
Commander Booth-Tucker then intro
duced DIR. Grace Kimball, who spoke, In
part as follows: II have come from the
scene of the cruelties inflicted upon the
Armenians. 1 am an eyewitness of their
prosecutions, and l can say that no race
has ever been prosecuted as the Armc-
mans have" Dr. Kimball pleaded that
the Armenians be received in this country.
Ira d. Sankey, who was next introduced,
said Il believe that the Queen of Eng
land has gained the ear of the young
ruler of Russia, and that the Armenian
outrages will be put down by those two
great rulers"
The refugees recited the Lords Prayer
in Armenian, and several told in their ma
tive tongues the story of their wrongs
at the hands of the Turks.
Suitable resolutions were adonted

BAY STATES POLITICAL BREAK
All Hope of Democratic Harmony
Now Abandoned.

Now Abandoned.
Boston, Oct. 26.-For what is apparently
the final time in this campaign, all nego-
tiations for peace between the warning
factions of the state democracy were to-
day declared off. The result of to-day's
meeting leaves the situation just where it
was before Judge Corcoran sent in his res
ignation last week; for that resignation is
now withdrawn. Judge Corcoran is still
to continue as chairman of the state com
mittee, and there will be no official rati-
fication of George Fred Williams and the
other democratic candidates.
After to-days conference the committee
discussed the situation and decided to
postpone the meeting of the full state com
mittee which had been called for to-mor-
row noon indefinitely. They also commu-
nicated by telephone with Judge Corcoran,
apprising him of the situation. He at once
withdrew his resignation, which had not
been accepted. Notices were then sent
out to the members of the committee an
nouncing that the meeting for tomorrow
had been POSTPONED.

votes which may result fro@ coercion and
bribery"

us against you, our fellow workmen."

Washington, Oct. 26.-The President to-

Lieut.. Joseph R. Binns of the First In
fantry This is the young man who, en-
listing as a private from Minnesota in
1890, obtained a commission as a second
lieutenant by civil service examination
in 1893, and recently sought notoriety in
violation of the articles of war, by pub
fishing a letter in a Chicago newspaper,
assailing the President and the army, and
predicting revolution, and saying that
as he was satisfied the army was going to
be used as a weapon against the people,
as represented by Mr.. Bryan, and as he
did not wish to serve against the people
but with them, he resigned his commits
sion. The war department declined to

BIsMARcK's DOUBLE GAME.
Accused of Having a Secret Entente
with Russia From 1854 to 1890.

Paris, Oct. 26-The Temps, in an arti-
Gle commenting upon Prince Bismarck s
recent communication to his personal or
gan, the Hamburger Nachrichten, de-
scribing the origin of the entente between
Russia and France. says it is an obvious
truth that Prince Bismarck without the
knowledge of his partners in the Dreibuud,
had a separate entente with Russia from
1884 to 1890, not only detaching Russia
from France in the event of the latter at
lacking Germany, but also detaching Ger
many, from Austria in the event of Aus
tria making an attack upon Russia.
"Bismarck, the Temps adds, always
played a double game, and the revelations
of the Nachrichten must weaken the
Dreibund."
