Col. J. c. Cooper, of McMinn-
vile, who just returned from the
east, says the McMinnville Tele-
phone-R Register, predicts the greatest
landslide for Bryan known in our
political history. He travelled ex-
tensively in the middle, east and
south, and the farmers almost to a
man are supporting the democratic
nominee. The majority of Missouri
for Bryan is estimated at $4,000
after a careful canvass of the state.
Some think it will reach 100, 900.
He says that a western man with
his broad ideas of political freedom
cannot comprehend the extent of
the methods of coercion and intimi.

campaign east Of the Mississippi,

"A prominent Portland lawyer
in town yesterday, a republican and
and Mitchell man, declared that he
did not believe Mitchell could be
elected, that he was now six or sew
ell votes among the gold crowd"
says the Salem journal No sill
yer man will be found voting to
elect Mitchell, unless it is Jonathan
Bourne, of Multnomah, who was
Mitchell's manager, and is now
handling the Bryan forces of Multi
nomah county. The reliance of
Senator Mitchell will be entirely OIL
the gold standard republicans, and
a caucu of those forces will give
him the nomination. Senator DAILY
of klamath and Lake, will be asked
by some of the gold democrats to
vote for Mitchell in case of a close
shave. On a sharp fight with the
lines drawn OIL silver and gold there
are as gold votes, "a silver votes,
and a vacancy in Coos county to be
filled at the coming election. If
Oregon goes for Bryan, I do not
see how members Of he legislature
can regard it as anything but an in
struc:ion to elect a senator who will
stand up for independent American
bimetallism, and if Mitchell again
declares for that after the McKin-
ley campaign, I don't e why he
J can't be elected"

Defending an Accused Broker.

CHICAGO, Dec. 12.-Friends of Julius
A. Kohn, under Indictment in New York
for the alleged embezzlement Of S89'OO
from Mr.. Rothschild, of Fort Wayne,
Ind, make this statement. Nearly a
year ago Mr. Kohn, blind in one eye and
broken in health, was compelled to go to
Europe for his health. Pending the
settlement Of outstanding contracts his
affairs were left in charge of representa-
tives, who, instead of paying the claims
still unsettled, and for which funds had
been provided, speculated in Mr. kohn's s
name, losing not only these funds but
heavily involving him without his knowl-
edge or consent, and leaving him homeless
and absolutely penniless. 1t is denied that
Kohn owes Rothschild $4,000, or any
where near that amount.

POUR HUNDRED LOST.
In the Wreck of the North German Lloyd
Steamer Salier.

LONDON, Dec. 12-It was the North
German Lloyd steamer Salier that was
wrecked on the night Of Dec. Z, four miles
north of Villagarcia, Spain, and two and
half miles from land. She must have
broken up almost Immediately, as parts
of the steamer have already washed
ashore. Some of the bodies Of those on
the i'll fated steamer, including that of the
captain, have also been washed ashore.
The captains watch had stopped at B: &c
o'clock, presumably Tuesday morning,
Dec. 8, 1t is believed that over 400 per
sons perished. The Sailer was commanded
by Captain Wempe, and was loaded with
a general cargo
The passengers of the Salier, it Is con-
jectured, must ALL or nearly all, have been
in their berths in the steerage at the time
the steamer struck, and 1t is thought that
the great majority of them were drowned
before they could tumble out on deck, fol
no bodies with life preservers ON have
been found
The Salier had fearful passage from
Bremen to Coruna. Two of her boats
were swept overheard by the heavy seas
which beat over her, and she sustained
other damages from the same cause. The
steamer struck on ledge of rocks off Cape
Carrubedo, on her way from Coruna to
Villagarcia, where she was to ship an
other lot of Storage passengers bound for
Buenos Ayres.
The weather was thick and heavy. 1t
was night time, and the Salier had to run
far enough south to clear the rocks off
Cape Corrubedo before starboarding her
helm and heading southwest, gradually
pointing up westward and then in north
westerly direction in order to head into
the bay leading up to Villagarcia. But
Captain Wempe seems to have been
thrown out Of his reckoning by the fog and
rain and to have headed TO port too soon,
with the result that he failed to clear the
rocks below Cape Corrubedo and went
down with his ship and all hands.
Another theory Of the cause of the dlsas.
ter is that the Salier's steering gear was
carried away while she was heading
around the rocks for Villagarcia, and that
she thus became unmanageable and was
driven upon the reef.
The Salier was an old vessel, which the
North German Lloyd company had agreed
to sell to an Italian firm trading between
Italy and American ports, but owing to
some slight disagreement as to the terms
the deal was not completed, and the
steamer was sent on another voyage. She
was considered to be in every way sea-
worthy and the only reason tho North
German Lloyd company had for selling
the Salier was that there were more
modern boats of the same line in readiness
to take her place,

From the beginning of the bout until the
referee interfered and stopped the mill,
when the ninth round had nearly expired,
the work OF both men was very rapid, and
they worked so hard that during the last
three rounds, one good blow would have
settled the contest Creedon was un'
doubtedly the better man, and there was
not word Of protest uttered when the
referee gave his fiat.
