KILLED A WOMAN.
Cowardly Work of Stage Robbers in
Oklahoma.

Guthrie, Okla, Aug. 26.-Deputy
marshals arrived here today from the
southern part of the territory and
Drought news of a stage robbery. in
which n person was killed. That per-
son was a woman, who had refused to
give up her valuables.
The ho,d-up occurred in Day county
which is one of the extreme southern
counties and also one of those most
recently organized. The coach was
stopped near the town of Grand. Four
bandits appeared in the roadway, and,
after compelling the driver to stop his
horses. they ordered the h~aif-dozen
passengers to dismount. All complied
except a woman. The bandits evident
ly feared that her example Of resist
ance you'd be followed by some Of the
others, and they opened fire on the
coach with rifles. The woman was hit
several times. and one Of the wounds
caused instant death. 1t was said by
her fellow-travelers that she vas Mrs.
Raymond Reems, Of Philadelphia, Pa.
The bandits secured $500 in money.
and after they had secured all the
travellers possessions they allowed the
coach to proceed. The body Of the wo-
man was taken to Grand.
The officers who bring the informa-
ton are well known and are thorough
ly reliable.

Tie silver question is moi the only
issue affecting our money in the pend.
ing contest. Not content with urging
he free coinage CT silver. its strongest
champions demand hat our paper
money shall be issued directly by the
government of the United States. This
is the Chicago democratic declaration.
The St. Louis peoples party declaration
is that Our national money shall be
issued by the general government only,
without the Intervention of banks OF
issue, be full legal tender for the pay
men of all debts, public and private"
and be distributed direct to the peo-
pie. and through the lawful disburse-
ments of the government"
Thus, in addition to the free coinage
of the worlds silver, we are asked to
enter upon an era of irredeemable pa
per currency. The question which was
fought out from 1865 to 1875 is thus t o
be reopened with all its cheap money
experiments of every conceivable form
foisted upon us.
Tlis indicates a most startling re-
dictionary policy. strangely at variance
with every requirement of sound
finance; but the declaration shows the
spirit and purpose Of those who by
combined action are ~contending for
the control Of the government. Not
satisfied with the debasement of our
coin, which inevitably follows the free
coinage of silver at 16 to l. they would
still further degrade our currency and
threaten the public honor by an unlim-
itei issue of ir~redeemable paper cur
rency. A graver menace to u finan-
cial standing and credit could hardly
be conceived and every patriotic citizen
should be aroused to promptly meet
and effectually defeat it."
Mckinley condemns as in highest de-
gree reprehensible, all efforts to array
class against class; the classes against
the masses: section against section
section against capital; poor against
rich, or interest against interest" He
considers protection as an issue of su-
preme Importance and observes that
while the peril Of free silver is a men,
ace to be feared, we are already expert
encing the effect Of partial free trade"
One he would avert, the other correct.
He recommends the immediate restora-
ton by congress Of the reciprocity Sec
lions of the tariff law of 1890 with such
amendments, If any, al time and ex-
perience would sanction as wise and
proper. The underlying principle OF
mis- legislation. he declares, should be
strictly observed. This he explains is
to afford new markets for our surplus
agricultural and manufactured pro-
ducts without loss to the American la
borer Of a single days work that he
might Otherwise procure.
He discusses foreign immigration
briefly. Commends legislation that will
prevent the coming here Of all who
make war upon our institutions" or
profit by public disquiet and turmoil.
He favors liberal pensions for soldiers

Zanzibar. Aug. 26.-Admiral Rawson
this afternoon received cable instruc-
tons from the British government and
a message was also received here by
the British consul from the foreign Of
flee. AS a result the admiral and 5he
consul held another conference, at the
end Of which an ultimatum was sent to
Said Khalid. He was ordered to haul
down his flag and surrender with his
forces not later than 8 o'clock tomor-
row morning. If he fails to do SO the
palace will be promptly bombaredd by
The British warships. All British sub
jects have been requested to embark
on board the warJhips here by s O'Clock
tomorrow morning.
1t is now generally believed that the
late sultan of Zanzibar was poisoned
at the i%nstigation Of Said khaid whose
forces have been working necessarily
fortifying all day long and 1t would
appear that serious fighting must occur
before he is deposed.
According to report Admiral Dawson
has cabled for achievements and has
been assured that he will receive them
as promptly as possible. On the other
hand, the slave dealers, fearing that a
final blow will be struck at their nefar-
ious business. are sending men, arms
and ammunition to Said Khalid and are
British at any cost.

run a corner in the stocks of Diamond

whatever. The members of the pool
that was backing the MoUles. it is
thought, can perhaps be held RESPONSE

names OF the capitalists who composed
this pool are withheld.
Not only has the entire surplus of the
Match company been practically wiped

the windows fired at the police in the
street below. The police returned the
