discussed at this mornings session of the
National Prison Association. 1t was deciG-
ed that the census taken on the subject

Journalism; that the world is growing bet

j. d. Millikin. of Mcpherson Kan. a
member of the American Bar Association,
read the report of the standing committee
on criminal law reform His report was a
clear and comprehensive one and was lis
tened to in silence, which changed to a
volley of question and comment. Dr. Fred
erick w. Wines offered resolutions. which
were adopted. calling for the appointment
of committee, on which Hon. Andrew d.
White Is called upon to act, to report a.
the next annual session on the question
whether homicide is increasing in the

crease in population.

Indiana day at the Republican Mecca,
delegation that filled Il special train of ten
coaches coming from the northern part of
the State. 1t was composed of farmers,
Baltimore & Ohio railway employees, me-
chanics and citizens generally living at
Waikerton and points between there and
the Ohio line. Judge Penfield, who spoke
for the Indianians, delivered one of the
best addresses of the campaign, and he
was complimented by Major Mckinley. The
latter's speech was addressed to farmers
and railway employees, and he impressed on
his hearers the Importance of maintaining
the present standard of value of our money.
The day was disagreeable, a cold rain fall
ing from morning to night. The usual re-
ceptions on the lawn at Major McKinleys
residence were given uD and the speeches
were made at the Tabernacle. Four of the
delegations which had made enga gements
visits would be postponed on account of the
rain. The first delegation of the day was
from the Ohio Soldiers and Sailors Home
at Sandusky. 1t occupied railway
coaches. Many citizens of Sandusky ac-

Achilles in his tent at Wolfert's Roost, was
missing tonight So also were such noted
men as Grover Cleveland President of the
United States: Daniel S. Lamont. Secretary
of War; Charles S. Fairchild, ex-Secretary

Secretary of the Navy. and others who
have been prominent In the councils or

where he delivered speech. The SUBJ
iects discussed at the conference were the
political situation, especially in the Empire
State and Mr.. Bryan's itinerary. The at
titude of Senator Hill was considered, but
no member of the conference would say
what steps, If any. had been taken to
smoke out the sage of Wolferts Roost.
His silence is embarrassing the Popocratic
leaders who fear he is concocting some
deep plot that may lead to their further
discontinue. 1t was agreed that Mr.. Bry-
an should invade Maryland again, and also
sneak in West Virginia. He will make tens
speeches in the two States in the next three
days. and he left New York this midnight
for that purpose. His first speech to-mor-
row will be at Harper's Ferry. He will
make a brief stop at Washington, but no
formal demonstration will be made there.

The National Democrats have threatened
right along that. If fusion with the Popu-
lists should be accomplished. they would
put a State ticket in the field. One of the
chief reasons advanced by the Popocrats
for not putting Popuist electors on their
ticket was this threat. 1t was midnight
when the Populists announced their pc
culiar action, and none of the National
Democratic leaders could be seen; but it
is probable that Chairman Pckens will at

DR.. Powell Demonstrating His New
Formula at Los Angeles.

Los ANGELES, CAL, Dec. 22.-Dr.
Thomas Powell, of Columbia, Mo-,
made some remarkable experiments
before a party of directors, in order
to prove the efficacy of his remedies
for certain diseases. He alarmed
some of the physicians present by in
jecting bacillus tuberculosis and bacil-
Ii diphtherial into himself, appearing
to them without evil effect. He also
injected some bactina into two guine
pigs, which promptly died. To-day
he says he will inject sputum from a
woman dying from consumption into
himself.
DIR. Powell claims to have discover
ed a formula that will revolutionize
the theory and practice Of medicine.
By it, he claims, people may be innoc-
ulated, and rendered proof against
contagion and disease of almost every
description. The secret of his dis
covery he does not disclose at this
time.
The discovery was announced al
