Without holiness no man shall sec tho

CooL1E R1o1s IN GUIANA.

They Aye of Greater Significance Than
Generally Supposed.
KINGSTON, JAMAICA, Oct. 15.-[ Cor
spondence of the United Associated
Presses. The news of coolie riots In De-
merara British Guiana) is of far greater
significance than appears on the face of it.
Long ago the native or negro population
became so reduced in numbers that to
save the sugar industry from collapse a
treaty was entered into with the indian
Government for the immigration of coolie
laborers from that distant but sister de-
tendency of the British crown. The sys-
tenn worked so well that its peasantry is
now almost wholly composed of East In
dians.
Only year or two ago the military gar
rlson was removed from Guiana, and the
police, 500 strong, were armed and drilled.
When the troops were withdrawn some of
the local papers expressed the fear that il
was an unwise move owing to the enor-
nous Indian population-upward of from
$4,000 to co. ,000
When the sugar crisis came the Deme-
rara planters decided TO reduce the labor
ers' wages throughout the sugar belt, and
q general strike was the immediate result.
Rioting ensued all along the line of the
plantations. and day before yesterday il
eliminated in an armed demonstration on
the Nonpareil estate near Georgetown.

Tells Why the Sober I0t'rs Mast support
Mckinley.
CHICAGO ILL. Oct. 23-Thomas Lloyd,
editor-in-ch chief of the London Statlst, VINO
is making tour of the United States to
study the political conditions, to-day
cabled his paper as follows:
s'SeyeraI politicians from the South and
West are now in Chicago, which at hrst
sight gives the impression that there is
more difference OF political opinion here
than in New York. but in reality find
that the people Of Chicago, at least all OF
them who have anything to lose, are sup
porters OF Mckinley. Mr.. Hanna, who is
the organizer of the Republican party.
speaks very confidently. He says he is
certain of carrying Illinois, Michigan and
Indiana, and he has strong hopes OF win
ming several Southern and Western States.
ION the other hand, Mr.. Bryan's COM
mittee speaks equally confident. 1t does
rot expect as large a ajority as Mr..
Hanna saws he is sure OF, but 1t processes
to be convinced that 1t will win. The
main doubt OF those who speak impair
tally is as to the farmers and the labor
ers. Il is believed that the rise in whea
and cotton, as well as the active cam
paign that has been conducted for several
months, have convinced a great number
of farmers; and great mum bers OF the
working classes promise to vote for Nc
Kinley, but many with whom have dis
cussed the subject fear that u large pro-
portion of the workingmen promise their
employers one thing and will vote quite
differently when the day comes.
1T is noteworthy that Of all the news
papers published in Chicago only one
supports Mr.. Bryan, bur l ought to add
that considerable number of individual
journalists with whom 1 have spoken are
supporters of Mr.. Bryan. 1t is very diff
cult for stranger to form a correct opin-
ion in the clash of argument and asser-
ton. but it seems certain that in Chicago,
as in New YORK, those who have anything
to lose are for sound money.
Socialism, anarchy and the threat to
pack the Supreme Court frightens the
property class quite as much as free silver;
but they are two-edged. They attract a
large proportion of the laborers. while
they unite capitalists. For instance, l
hear of Southern planters who shrink from
supporting the Republicans, but who will
vote for Bryan and Rwho intend to give a
holiday on election day 20 their colored
voters so that they will vote for Nc
Kinley."

MdrIe Hanna Promptly brands the
Democratic Leader a Liar.
CHICAGO, I'LL, Oct. 23.-Chairman
Hanna read at his desk in the Republican
National headquarters this afternoon what
purported to be an interview with Cam
paign Chairman Campau, of the Demo-
cratic National Committee, in which he
makes the charge that Mr.. Hanna had
sent twenty men into Michigan to bribe
voters to abstain from going 10 the polls;
that Mr.. Campu had the names of most of
the agents who were under surveillance
and that the man who sent them would
be punished. Mr.. Hanna replied:
My reply to that is that Mr.. Campau
must produce the proof of the charge he
makes against me or stand self-convicted
hsr before the American people. He is a
liar if he said that
Mr.. Campau was interviewed at Demo-
cratic headquarters. He did not stand by
the published interview in its specific
parts, saying: There are some cl rical
errors in that statement. What want to
say is that have received reliable infor-
nation that the Republicans have sent
twenty-seven men into Michigan to do
peculiar work. have taken hold of the
thing, and am following it up closely. We
have notified our people in Michigan to
do the same. The methods OF that char
acter are not confined to any particular
State"
Have you received definite information
rs to corrupt work in other States p
"No; but If they are doing it in Michi-
gan they are very likely doing it IN other
places"

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Oct. 23.-Chicago
and Alton westbound train No. 48 due
here at $3.50 P. NJ. was held up two
miles east OF independence just before
dark tonight by four masked men. They
cut the engine loose, compelled the ex-
press messenger to open the express car
and secured three packages of iewelry and
about $500. the rough safe was not
opened. None of the passengers were mo-
Tested.
The bandits drove the engine two miles
and took to the woods just before reaching
Independence. The holdup occurred in
Blue Cut, which has been the scene OF two
previous robberies by the James boys.
The train was brought into Kansas City
at :45 P. NJ. Not shot was fired and no
one was hurt.
The train was in charge of Conductor A.
j. Fell and Engineer James Welton. At
the entrance to Blue Cut it was tagged.
Welton reversed his engine and brought
the train to standstill in the middle OF
the cut. 1t was pitch dark. He looked
out from his cob to ascertain the trouble
when a gruff voice commanded him to
get out of the cab and be quick about it.
gun and obeyed. Fireman Post did like
wise. Two more men emerged from the
darkness and mounted the engine. One
of them picked up tne fireman's coal pick.
Engineer and fireman were marched 10
the express car. Messenger Andy Shields
was commanded to open. He at first
refused, but finally complied when con-
vinced that Posts life was in danger.
The bandits entered the car, rifed the
money packages and secured $500 and a
quantity OF jewelry.
The holdup occupied altogether about
five minutes. The passengers knew moth
ing of it until long after the engine had
disappeared. Conductor Fell describes
the men as being short and heavy. with
dark hair. Their faces were masked.
They carried shotguns and revolvers.
Inspector Flahive and eight picked men
left Kansas City on special train i'm
mediately after the report of the robbery
reached here. The robbers are supposed
to be railroad men from the fact that they
knew how TO handle the engine.

After the war he studied law in Ameri-

Several Northern and WesterTi States That
Are Certain for Mckinley.
CHICAGO, ILL, Oct. 23.-J. D. Elliott,
chairman of the South Dakota Repu blican
committee, made Chief Hahn of the
speakers bureau feel happy to-day by the
receipt of letter from him siving a re-
sumo of the work done by the Republicans
in that State, and summing up the situa-
ton thus:
II am absolutely confident we shall
carry the State by at least 5000 majority,
and we shall control at least ninety mem
bers out of the 126 in the Legislature. Not
a man in.ethe State has a dollar to bet
Bryan will carry South Dakota, and if
there was one there would be 500 to take
him up. In Minnehaha County, the home
of Senator Pettigrew. there are sixty
speeches to be made this week and 120
assignments already for next week. Will
have third poll of the State completed
next Monday. Over $500 Republican
votes have been made in this State so far"
Comm enting on the South Dakota situ-
alton Mr.. Hahn said it was demonstrated
that the Republicans of the State had de-
cidea not 10 follow the leadership of Sena-
tor Pettigrew. In July and August the
Populist committee claimed the electoral
vote of South Dakota sure for Bryan.
Committeeman Payne received reports
from the State executive committee of the
Republican League in California giving
the Mckinley majority there at 1900;
from Oregon. putting the Republican ma
jority at 1000 to 5000; and Minnesota say
ing the silver men had conceded that
Clough. for Governor. would not run more
than $1,000 behind Mckinley, while the
Republicans claimed he would not be
more than 10 900 votes in the rear.
The National Committee now claims
Michigan by $4,000 plurality. Speakers
from that State have come to headquar-
tiers within the last twenty-four hours and
reported a radical change in sentiment on
the money question all over the State.
H. G. Mcmillan, chairman of the Iowa
committee, came to headquarters for more
speakers and a conference with Mr..
Hanna, accompanied by Senator Allison.
Mr.. Mcmillan reported every county in
the State had been polled anew and found
to be satisfactory.

National Democratic party's com mittee
made it public to-day. The Bishop de-
nounces the free coinage Of silver. declar-
ing it 'strikes at the National honor and
our commercial integrity as people and
threatens with a prospect of serious injury
and embarrassment all classes of the CON-
munity, involving the suffering poor and
rich alike"
He denounces the Supreme Court plank
of the Chicago platform as a .'blow at the
most precious creation of the constitu-
tion," adding: This proposal is almost
as bad as aiming bullet at the flag of our
country"
He also denounces the arraying of class
against class and announces the same mo-
tives, if conscience force him to vote, as
moved him to vote during the Civil War.
He has not voted since.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct. 23.-Sur.
geon-General Tryon Of the navy in his an.

fort of the sick and wounded of the navy
has been much improved by the adoption
of iron swinging cots for the sick boys o1
all vessels and the establishment of an
ambulance service at Chelsea. New York,
Philadelphia and Norfolk. DR.. Tryon rec
ommends the adoption of better system
of identifying recruits, one sim liar to that
now in use in the army, and calls atten-
ton to the necessity of providing i'm
proved accommodations on board vessels
of war, and to the assignment when prac-
ticable of sufficient space on the gun deck
for hospital purposes.
