Canton, Dec. S0.-The most notable
visitors TODAY were Senator Clark and
Representative Frank w. Mondell of
Wyoming, who are silver men, but re-
manned in the. Republican party and
supported Major Mckinley.
They told him today they would act
with the party in congress and give
hearty support to the proposed tariff
legislation. Senator Clark stated, how
ever, that in Wyoming and other
mountain states the silver sentiment
had increased rather than diminished
since the election. and that it was of
the highest Importance to the Repub-
lican party to enact legislation provid-
ing for an international monetary con-
ference to secure the fuller use of sill
yer by common agreement among the
leading commercial nations. Both Mr..
Clark and Mr.. Mondell insisted that if
this were done, if the promises of the
st. Louis platform in reference to BIZ
metalliSm were not made good, and II
times did not sensibly improve within
the next four years, that the Repub-
licans could hardly expect to recover
the ground thew had lost in the west
or to carry the next presidential cleo
ton. Senator Clark declared that the
selection of Senator Sherman or any
man who is looked upon as a gold
monometallist for the Office of secre-
tary of the treasury, would be serious
political error, and bring disaster upon
the Republican party in the western
and middle states. He said Senator
Allison would be looked upon with
favor by the bimetallists as cabinet
possibility.
Major and Mrs. Mckinley entertained
about so of their friends tonight. Ma
jor Mckinley may spend a few days in
Cleveland next week.

WEYLER IN DISGRACE.
A BELIEF THAT HE WILL SOON

Must Meet With Some Striking Sue

Butcher viii Be Wearing His Off
cial Shoes.

London, Dec. 30-The Standard to-
morrow will publish a dispatch from
it's Madrid correspondent saying that
strong movement in opposition to
Captain-General Weyler is on foot in
political and military circles. General
Weyler's failure to make any progress
in the direction of suppression of the
revolution is regarded in Madrid, the
correspondent says, as involving his
recall at an early day unless he soon
meets with striking success.
The correspondent also says that
General Polavieja, the rewly- appointed
governor of the Philippine Islands,
has initiated vigorous repressive meas
ures for the crushing out of the re-
bellion. He has issued orders that
only the more prominent of the rebel
leaders shall be sent to Manila for
trial, and all other rebels who are
taken prisoners, including the leaders
of less note, shall be tried by court
martial where they are captured and
their sentences summarily executed.

SAY HE IS A FRAUD.
William Euclid Young Expelled
From the New York Stock Ex-
change.

New York, Dec. 5O-William Euclid
Young was expelled from the New York
Stock Exchange by formal vote of the
governing committee at the conclusion of
a session which lasted from $3.50 until
7:30 o'clock tonight. Forty out of 40 men,
bers of the committee were present and
the vote was said to have been unan-
imous. The charge was fraud.
The charge was in reality against the
firm of E. B. Cuthbert & Co. stock brok-
ers at 80 Broad street. The stock ex-
change authorities dealt with the men,
Der of the firm who was "A member of
the exchange. Mr.. Young was the part
ner in the firm who belonged to the ex-
change. He withdrew from the firm on
Dec. %, but that did not relieve him from
the charge.
The original complaint against Cuth-
bert &, Co. was three months ago. A
special committee from the governing
committee was appointed to investigate
the business methods of the firm. The
committee suspected Cuthbert & Co. of
employing bucket shop methods, or, in
other words, of reporting to customers
that they had purchased and sold stocks
according to orders. when, in fact, they
had made no transactions whatever The
committee discovered evidence that an
arrangement had been made with Jacob
Kirkner, a broker of "a New street.

BRUTAL BRITISH TAR.
Stories Told BY His Crew In San
Francisco


San Francisco, Dec. 3O.-Twelve sail
ors of the British ship Otterburn,
which arrived last evening from Cape
town, Africa, invaded the office of
United States District Attorney
Schlesingere yesterday morning and
said they had been ill-used aboard the
ship, and that when they arrived off
the sea wall Captain Hunter told them
to go ashore and never appear on the
ship again. They asked for their
wages, they say, and were told by the
captain that if they ever spoke again
of wages to him he would cut them
with a knife. The sailors say the cap
tan has been drunk for fortnight,
deep cut in the back of the head as
result of his drunkenness. The injury
occurred about week ago. When
the captain was on the pOop-deck he
swore at one of his sailors to do some
thing, and as the latter did not move
readily enough the skipper attempted
to go down to the main deck to beat
the sailor, when he fell. He was
knocked unconscious.
When the captain became disabled
the first mate, Howse, continued to
abuse the sailors. The boatswain now
has a deep cut over his eye as a result.
He says he has been used to all kinds
of treatment as regards food and long
hours, but he never met with such
treatment as Captain Hunter and
Mate Howse melted out to him. The
food was poor and there was not
enough of it, he says. and the hours
were at the captains pleasure. He
said he never was struck aboard a yes
sci until Mate Howse struck him a
few days ago. The men said that the
former crew deserted at Capetown,
owing to harsh treatment.

JAnAICA FRUIT.
An Experimental Cargo Is Sold In
London.

London, Dec. 30.-Csarcia, Jacobs &
Co. conducted the sale at the Covent
Garden market today CT an expert
mental cargo of Jamaica fruit, which
arrived by the steamer Port Victor.
The sale attracted crowds of buyers,
both of Loaion and from the country.
The offerings included 1900 boxes of
oranges, OF which one-third was I'M
suitable, but the remainder was OF
excellent quality, and averaged from
6s to los per hundred. About half of
the bananas were in bad condition,
bringing only from Is TO IS a bunch,
whereas they ouglt 70 have fetched
from los to EOS per bunch, mad hey
been in good order. The steamer
Eiderslie also brought cargo from
Jamaica, but .he fruit was condemned
as being unfit for use through defective
cooling on board ship. The opinion as
to the result of the sale is that there is
no doubt rs 80 the success of the VEN
ture of bringing Jamaica fruit for sale
in the London market when it arrives
in sound condition. About 300 boxes of
the Eidersiie oranges were found to be
in sound condition and were sold from
IS cd to lis 6s per box. Riverside
oranges sold at from 15s to Us per
box and were adjudged as excellent in
condition and quality.
