FOR ARBITRATION.
British Ambassadors Proposals
More Liberal than was Elk
peCteG.

Washington, D. c., Oct. 23.-It can
be stated authoritatively that the pro-
posals Sir Julian Pauncefote is author
lied by the British foreign Office to pre-
sent to the state department embrace
both the Venezuelan boundary question
and the question Of general treaty be-
tween Great Britain and the United
States whereby all future disputes will
be submitted to arbitration. The ma
ture Of the proposals is such that it is
believed that the dispute over Venezuela
is much nearer to final solution than at
any time since the trouble began.
Sir Julian Pauncefote. British ambas-
sador. called at the state department to-
day for the purpose of presenting to Sec
rotary Olney certain propositions regard
ing the Venezuelan controversy. Owing
to this being cabinet day Sir Julian and
the secretary had only ten minutes con-
ference. The ambassador carried 4
large roll of documents which he left for
the careful perusal of the secretary.

ton, the daughter of James A. SaXton,
banker and one Of the wealthest and
most prominent men in the country
around Canton, Ohio. It was in 1866
that Mr.. Mckinley, then q STRIPPING of
soldier, went to Canton to visit his rela-
tives and met and loved Miss SaXton.
The bankers daughter was at that time
only a school girl, and the young soldier
was perforce required to contain himself.
Besides, he had no money, and the young
lady's family was immensely rich. He
departed, but only after telling her his
mind. A few years later he returned to
the attack, and his good star went with
him. For, although he was only a strug-
Cling lawyer, and was fighting many gal
liant fellows, who were suitors for the
hand of Miss SaXton, now grown into
beautiful young woman, Mr.. SaXton IA
vored the plucky young attorney who, to
his keen eye, was rich n all but money
They were married in 1871, and they are
to-day as great lovers as they were
quarter of a century ago. Every moment
the great politician can steal from his
busy life he spends with his wife, and his
hours with her are the happiest of his
existence They lived at first in a house
to which they returned after many years
of absence. at will be like living our
honeymoon over again." said Mr.. Nc
Kinley, when they decided to move. 1t
was in this house that their greatest JOY
and keenest grief came to them. There
were born and died their two children.
The death of her two children and that
of her mother, all within the same year,
was blow too much for Mrs. Mckinley,
and it is not to be wondered that her
health and nerves gave way.
During these intervening years Mrs.
McKinley's health has fuctuated very
greatly. There have been seasons when
for months at a time she has been unable
to leave her room even for a meal, and
again she has enjoyed comparative inn
munity fr8m pain, and has eagerly sought
to make the most of her improved condi-
ton in her mode of life and devotion to
her nearest ties. especially to her hus-
band. At present Mrs. McKinley's health
is comparatively good.

ILL FOR A LONG TIME.
Consequently His Death was Not a Sur
prise in Washington.

Washington. D. c., Oct. 23.-Ex-
Speaker Crisp's death was not altogether
a surprise in political circles as it had
been known for some months that he had
not long to live and never again could
be an active figure in public affairs. The
ex-speaker had several spells of illness in
Washington. He suffered from asthma
and later from heart trouble. His i'll
health, however, did not become mat
ter OF public notoriety until the past
spring when he was compelled to aban-
don series of joint debates arranged
with ex-Secretary Hoke Smith by reason
Of the advice of his physician that it
would imperil his life for him to continue.
The debates had attracted great state
as well as national interest by reason Of
the fact that it involved the position Of
the Democratic party of the state on the
silver question as well as the senatorship
from Georgia, for which the ex-speaker
was an active candidate. The silver men
won their fight and Mr.. Crisp, had he
lived, would have been the next senator
from Georgia.
He was a forceful speaker, but a man
of great tact and possessed of other
qualities that fitted him for leadership
in a parliamentary assemblage. His
first prominence in national affairs came
from the skill with which he led his
party in several warm election contests.
The prestige he then acquired led to his
election to the speakership after one of
the most memorable canyasses in the
history of the House. His chief oppo-
nent was Senator Roger O. Mills of
Texas, whom he defeated after a strug-
gle that was prolonged so that the
House Of Representatives contrary to
custom, assembled on the opening day
with the question of its next speaker
still in doubt.
AS speaker, Mr. Crisp was fair but
firm. His rulings have been upheld
and though sometimes they were the SUBJ
ject of considerable criticism from his
political opponents, he always command
ed their respect and confidence. He
was a pronounced advocate of the free
coinage of Silver and on one occasion his
casting vote as speaker saved the defeat
Of free-coinage bill. On the other hand
it was largely due to his frmness in rul-
ing that passed the Sherman silver-repeal
law through the House. his ruling de-
feating a formidable flibustering move
ment led by Mr.. Bland of Missouri and
OthnrS

It has often been said that the women
of this country, if it were left to them,
would elect Major Mckinley by an over
whelming majority, if it were only to
show their appreciation of the perfection
OF his character as a man and as q hus-
band. Having married the woman of his
heart, and being a man who quite knew
his own mind, all the misfortunes that
came to his beloved but bound him more
closely to her, and the greater the de-
mands upon his strength and patience the
more unfailing the supply of both seemed.
When, as Republican leader of the
House, he was preparing the famous tariff
bill which bears his name, week after
week, month after month, while for
many hours every day he was passing
through this terrible strain of mind and
nerves, Mckinley left his place as watch
er OF the peoples interests at the Capitol
only to watch by an invalid wife's bed
side at night. Always calm. strong and
strengthening, never yielding to petty
annoyances or WEAKNESS, he insisted dur
ing all this time on taking himself the
place by the one he loved which might
very we'll have been delegated to q train
Ell nurse. A friend who knew of this
calls it the most beautiful picture of do
nestle devotion he has ever seen.
Simple in his tastes, quiet in his man
ners, firm in his stand for principle he
believes right, Mckinley is one of the
most courteous men in public life. He
makes no enemies, and holds all who
know him as friends. But in all his So
ciability there is purity of speech and
thought that makes is as impossible for
other men to introduce coarseness or yul-
garlty as 1t would be were their mothers
wives, or sisters present. Added to this
the devotion OF Mckinley to his invalid
wife makes him the ideal man in the ewes
of women. All the world loves a true
and noble lover, and such Mckinley is
to-day. as tender and as gallant TO his
sweetheart wife as he ever was before
they were married, quarter of century
ago.

When q rumor got abroad several days
ago that he was sinking it was vigor-
ously denied at the sanitarium, where it
was given out that he was getting bet
ter.
Mr. Crisp was the choice of the Demo
Gratis of Georgia to succeed Senator John
3. Gordon in the United States Senate
and would have been chosen to that posi-
ton by the Legislature at its approach
ing session had he lived. His untimely
death throws the political situation into
chaos and makes the choice of senator
matter of great uncertainty, The Leg
islature is almost unanimously for free
silver, however, and whoever is named
will be an advocate of that policy.
By birth Mr.. Crisp was an English
man, but his parents moved to this coun-
try before he was l year old. His family
settled in Georgia, and in Savannah and
Macon young Crisp went to the public
schools and IN them obtained his educa--
ton. When Is years of age the war Of
the rebellion broke out and he entered
the Confederate service as lieutenant OF
Co. X Tenth Virginia infantry, and
until May y. 1864 when he was taken
prisoner Of war. AS a prisoner he re-
manned until released in 1868.
At the close of the war he applied him
self to the study Of law and was admit
ted to the bar in Ellaville Ga. He en-
tered into practice at once and Sucn was
the attention he attracted by his ability
that in 1872 he was appointed solicitor
general of the Southwestern judicial cir
cult. At the expiration of his term ne
was reappoinred. He located in Ameri-
Gus, from which place he has since
hailed, and in 1877 was appointed judge
of the superior court Of the same circuit
by the Assembly and was elected for
second term.
About this time his friends pressed him
to enter politics. He preferred the law.
But they told him that his services were
needed in Congress, and yielding to their
pleas he resigned frsm the bench and
accepted the Democratic nomination.
He was elected and has been member,
and a highly valued one, too, of the
House since that time. He was a hard
worker and man who looked upon
his office as one of great dignity and re-
sponsibility. Exceedingly approachable,
he always had host of acquaintance
around him, and in newspaper row he
was considered one of the best men i'll
Congress for news.
He was speaker Of the Fifty second
and Fifty-third Congresses. 4

ALTON TRAIN HELD UP.
Quick-Witted Express Messenger
Hides the Cash in Chicken
Coop.

Kansas City, Mo-, Oct. pa passen-
ger and express train on the Chicago &
Alton railroad, due here from Chicago
and st. Louis at o'clock, were held up
and robbed by four masked men last
evening at Blue cut, between Independ
ence and Glendale, Mo. The scene of
the robbery is less than twenty miles
distant from Kansas City.
The train was tagged at the entrance
to the cut While two of the robbers
stood guard over the passenger coaches,
the other two covered the conductor, en-
gineer and fireman with their pistols and
compelled them to go to the express car.
There the robbers commanded the mes
senger to open the door of the car,
threatening to break in the car should
he refuse. After some delay the robbers
were admitted to the car. They COM
PEELED the messenger to open the safe and
extracted from it several packages.
The express messenger, however, had
surmised what the trouble was. While
the bandits had been demanding admis-
sion he had quickly opened the safe,
taken out the money packages and tossed
them into q chicken coop. When he
finally admitted the robbers to the car
and opened the safe for them the strong
box contained but two or three packages
of jewelry. Even at the point of the
robbers pistols and Winchester the mes
senger insisted that he had carried no
currency. Taking up the very little
booty at hand, the outlaws uncoupled the
express car from the coach following it,
and then marched their prisoners for
ward to the locomotive, covering the
men with revOlvers the robbers got on
the engine, with the workings of which
they were familiar, and pulled out. They
ran the engine about d mile, left it and
took to the woods.
Kansas City, Mo-, Oct. 24-Up to
noon today no trace of the quartette of
train robbers who boldly held up the
westbound Chicago g. Alton passenger
train twenty miles east of here last even
ing has been found. Although express
ing confidence in their ultimate capture,
it is evident the local detectives have lit
tie faith in their ability to land the rob-
bers. The men were well disguised,
and having q good start on their pur-
suers, doubtless were outside the coun-
ty and had thrown off suspicion by day
light this m Drning Nothing has been
found to lead to the identity of the men,
though the belief is that they were nov
ices at the business. The express com
pany's officials claim that the package
of jewelry secured by the robbers was
valued at hess than $50 No money
was secured from the company's safe.
