LOYALTY AND HONESTY.

Verdict of the American People
Approved by the "Thunderer."
LONDON, Eng, Nov. 4.-The Time.
will say tomorrow: The people of the
United States have earned the congratu-
lations of the world on the proof they
have given of loyalty to National honor.
The whole stock in trade of lf-seeking
politicians and flatterers has been spurned
and swept aslue by the plain honesty and
simple common sense of the countrymen
of Washington and Lincoln.
While we recognize to the fullest extent
the admirable temper displayed in this
severe trial we are not altogether sure
that McKinley's victory can be regarded
as finally quenching the Bryanite move
ment.
The elements of discomfort TO which
Bryan appealed will continue to exist and
even increase, but much depends upon
the use which Mckinley and his party
make of their unique opportunity.
A blundering course of policy disturbing
legislation and a disposition to use the
non-party majority for partisan purposes
would soon produce a state of things
which would encourage Organism to re-
raise its head.
The exuberant sense of relief arising
from the removal of the great danger
might produce ar exaggerated effect.
Cleveland in 1892 had majority about as
great as that of Mckinley, yet the party
which was then victorious is now divided,
dlsorganized and despairing.
1t will be to McKinIey's interest not less
than his duty to abstain from pressing
measures which may ALLEVIATE from him

JEALOUSY AND DEIIH.
Il. L. Snook L,I derx His Wife and
Then Kills HimseIf.

Il. L. Shook IHIders His VIE and
Then Kills Himself.
KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Nov. A shock
ing tragedy took place at noon to-day in
one of the most public places in the city.
A. i. Shook. a well-known railroad man,
shot and killed his wife at the entrance to
the Hotel Belmont. and then committed
suicide.
Shook was insanely jealous of his wife.
Friends of the family say that he had no
reason to suspect his wife of wrong. But
he did so and made her life miserable by
watching her and accusing ner OF i'm
proper acts.
To-day he was evidently lying IN wait
for her at the entrance to the hotel. He
was noticed walking backward and for
ward in front of the place for consider
able time. When his wife approached the
place he hurriedly approached her and
spoke in low tone to her, at the same
time drawing a pistol from his pocket.
She turned from him as if endeavoring
to escape, and at the same moment he
fired.
The ball struck her in the back of the
head and she fell dead to the sidewalk,
with the blood gushing from CHASTITY
wound.
As soon a. she fell and before any one
could interfera, Shook placed the revolver
to his own head, and pulling the trigger
fell dead beside the body of his wife. In
both cases death was almost instan-
taneous.

.FIELO EIGHTY YEARS OLD,
The California Justice Congrat.
ulated by Colleagues and
Friends.
He Is Opposed 10 Allowing President
Cleveland to Appoint His
Successor.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. 4-Asso-
ciate Justice Stephen J. Field is receiving
the congratulations OF his colleagues and
his friends in general upon the fact that
he ROUNDS to-day his eightieth year of life
The distinguished mem ber of The Su-
preme judiciary has been nearly thirty
four years on the bench, and should he re-
tain his position until next spring he will
have served longer than any other Asso-
ciate Justice, the longest term of service
now on the records being that of Justice
Story of Massachusetts,, who has served
thirty-four years.
Justice Field has been in poor health
for more than year, but has persisted in
giving close attention to his duties, and it
is said that no mem Der of the Supreme
Bench carries home more briefs than he
does.
A few months ago. when the venerable
jurist was seriously i'll. it was reported
that he intended to tender mis- resgna-
ton, but this was met by a prompt denial,
and the sentiment was attributed to him
that under no circumstances would he
give President Cleveland the opportunity
of appointing his successor.
Justice Field has had a picturesque ca
reer. When only 15 years of age he was
nursing cholera patients at Smyrna,
whittier he had gone with his sister, who
was the wife OF a missionary. Later he
landed in San Francisco W ith 81 in cash, a
diploma entltling Tim to practice law and
sixty newspapers that he had brought with
him from New York, the sale of which
multiplied his dollar many times over.
His first venture into public life was
when he was elected State Alcalde from
the mining camp of Marysville. Next the
same region sent him to the California
Legislature.
In 1857 he was elected Justice of the
Supreme Court of California and became
Chief Justice two years later. He was pro-
NOTED 10 the Supreme Bench by President
Lincoln, and has taken part in many his
toric hearings. He has been noted as a
man ofinfiexible will and when his mind
is once made up he is immovable.

Hoping Against Hope That Bryan
WIN Win Out.
WASHINGTON, D. c.. Nov. 4.-Popu-
list headquarters were quiet tonight, but
a number of hopeful followers of Mr..
Bryan were there and declined to give up
the fight. A statement was given out to
the effect that Bryan had carried every
Southern State except West Virginia,
Maryland and possibly Kentucky. but he
thought the latter State would swing into
line
Bryan, it was said, had carried every
State west of the Missouri River except
California, Oregon and North Dakota, all
of which it is claimed would probably 90
for him on later returns. Indiana and
Minnesota were in doubt and if they went
for Bryan it would elect him.
The silver men, it was claimed, would
have over $50 members in the House of
Representatives and it was absolutely GER
tain that the silver men would control
the next Senate.
1t was further stated that the Populists
had elected over twenty Congressman.
have secured Governors in probably three
States and certain of this in two or three
more States.

defeat He was still hopeful that later re-

Yet Claims That There Is a
Chance Tor Bryan to Reach
the White House.
CANNOT SWALLOW DEFEAT.
Ridiculous Aspersions Cast Upon the
Intelligent Citizens Who Pre-.
vented Reputation.

CHICAGO, ILL, Nov. 4.-The following
statement of the Presidential situation
was issued tonight by Chairman Wash
burn OF the Chicago headquarters, Peo-
ple's party committee:
To the voters of the United States: Our ia
cilities for receiving the election returns are
equal TO any. We know from private advices
and the returns up to date that Mckinley is
not elected. On the other hand, the latest re-
turns justify our claim that Mr.. Bryan is
elected. 1t is one of the peculiarities of the
Republican enterprise that they always claim
everything in sight few hours after election
In 1876, as well as in 1884 it was not known
for three or four days which candidate had
won. Although the early returns indicated
Republican success, Democratic followed.
Again, four years ago, the early returns ia
vored Harrison's election. while the subse-
quent ones elected Cleveland.
This year the early returns favored McKin-
ley because they came from the Eastern and
Middle States, and from the cities of other
States. while the returns from the South and
West were withheld so as to stampede public
sentiment that Mckinley was elected, whether
he was or not, and thus create sentiment in
advance which would operate 10 his advantage
in case the election was contested. while on
the other hand, had the first returns an
nounced Brysn's success and a contest re-
people through fear of repetition OF the
Tilden episode.
We have positive evidence that the Republi-
can National Committee have wired their
State committees TO claim certain States which
are in doubt, fearing that the subsequent
turns might indicate Bryan's election. We
shall soon vigorously press the question, viz:
"If il is not tor the purpose of manipulating
Them why are they held back?"
We want the American DaOnla n no nefiant
and calm and to wait for the official returns
and pay no attention to the false reports sent
out by manipulating committees. We also
feel justified in assuring the people that If
Bryan is elected he will be seated. The will
of the people will never again be defeated
through the manipulation of returning
boards to capture the Presidency The politi-
cal crime of 1876 will be resisted If repeated.
The returns this evening indicate that Mr..
Bryan will carry all the States west of the
Missouri River and south of the Ohio and
Potomac, which, without Maryland and Deia-
ware, make 209 votes Delaware is still in
makes 30. Add 10 this Michigan, fourteen
vot2s. or Indiana, fifteen votes, and it Insures
Bryan's election. The returns from both these
States row show positive gains for Bryan in
all OF the suburban districts. The claims of
the Repu blieans are based upon the reports of
the cities. Now that we are hearing from the
country the situation is rapidly changing
The Republicans are becoming alarmed and
the silyerites triumphant in the belief that
Bryan will be our next President.

EXECUTIVE MANsIC

I
WASHINGTON, d. c., Nov. 4. 1866
The people of the United States should never
be unmindful of the gratitude they owe the
God OF Nations for his waichful care which has
shielded them from dire disaster and pointed
out to them the way of peace and happines IS.
Nor should they ever refuse to acknowledge
with contrite hearts their proneness 10 turn
away from Gods teachings and to follow with
sinful pride after their own devices.
To the end that these thoughts may be
quickened, 1t is fitting that on day especially
appointed We should join together in ap-
preaching the thr one of grace with praise and
supplication.
Therefore, l. Grover Cleveland, President of
the United States, do hereby designate and set
apart Thursday, the 26th day OF the present
month OF November. to be kept and observed
day of thanksgiving and prayer through
out our land. On that day let every people
forego their usual work and occupation and
assemble in their accus toned places of wor-
ship; let them, with one accord. render thanks
to the Ruler of the universe for our preserya-
tion as Nation and our delivcrancs from
threatened danger; for the peace that has
dwelt within our boundaries; for our defense
against disease and pestilence during the year
that has passed; for the plenteous rewards
that have followed the Ia bors of our husband
men, and for all the other blessings that have
been vouchsafed to US.
And let us, through the mediation of him
who has taught us how to pray, implore the
forgiveness of our sins and a continuance of
heavenly favor.
Let us not forget on this day of thanksgiving
the poor and the needy and by deeds OF char
ity let our offerings of praise be more accepta-
BILE in the sight of the Lord.
Witness my hand and the seal OF the United
States, which have caused to be herAunto af-
fixed. GROVER CLEVELAND

LOUISVILLE. KY, Nov. 4.-News was
received here to-day from Williamson.
w. Va,, to the effect that fatal fight took
place last night as the result of quarrel
over politics.
Captain Hatfield, one of the participants
in the old Hatfield-McCoy ieud, which
caused so many murders in that part of
the country, killed Henderson Chamb rs
and John and Elliott Rutherford of Mater
van.
Hatfield succeeded in esca ping from the
place. His act caused the greatest indig-
nation. Pursuit parties were at once
organized, and within few hours 200
men were securing the country in pursuit
of the fugitive.
Hatfield is familiar with all the country
in that part of the State, and there is a
chance that he may succeed in escaping
from his pursuers. Should he De over
taken it is not likely he will be captured
alive, for he knows very well that there
Is little chance that he would live long
enough to De tried if he should fall into the
hands of his enemies

the gold Democrats, whose support has
contributed so much to his victory.
The Daily News will say: Mr.. Bryan
committed the fatal mistake OF attacking
the credit of the United States. A man
who runs amuck against the commercial
stability of the Union simply breaks his
head against wall. Mr.. Bryan assailed
the foundations of commerce, and the
commercial community has given him his
reward
the News article will ascribe McKin-
ley's enormous majority not to his own
merits, but to the dement's OF his opponent.
and will contend that he was not returned
for the purpose of reviving the tariff, but
to maintain the gold standard and pure
dollar.

STANFORD UNIVERSITY, CAL, Nov.
4.-Students here are generally rejoicing
over the result of the election. though the
Bryan men are wearing ill-concealed signs
of their disappointment at the defeat of
their candidate. Great crowds of students
filled the gymnasium to receive the re-
turns, and as the figures were thrown on
the screen the Mckinley enthusiasts had
food for their cheers and yelling, while
the Bryan supporters were in most
quiescent state. and managed to create a
noise only W hen the returns from Montana
began 10 come in.
A straw ballot taken in the hall of all
those present showed that the Mckinley
followers outnum bered the Bryan shout
ers by fifty votes, and that the sixth
amend ment, if left to that single assem-
bly,, would carry Dy but five votes out OF
nearly 160.
This morning DR.. Jordan, in addressing
one of his classes, expressed his pleasure
and satisfaction at the result of tie cleo
ton, and said that a statement made by
Hon. Tom Reed to him during the fore
noon expressed his own opinion exactly.
In substance the statement was as follows
"rhis great victory of Republican princi-
piles is not the result of u contest between
North and South, or East and West, nor a
match of classes, nor even victory of
Republicans over true Democrats, for true
Democrats have shown their 10y atty and
patriotism as clearly as the Republicans
but it is an overwhelming decision on tho
part of the commercial people of this
country. that they don't want Its business
lnterfered with nor its prospects subjected
to experiment"
Professor Ross was completely astounded
at the result of the election and wouldn't
believe Bryan defeated, especially in 1lli-
nois and Indiana, until this morning.

PARIS, FRANCE, Nov. 4.-The Radical
me mbers of the Cham Der have decided to
withdraw their intended Interpolation
of the Government concerning the ex-
pen diture OF public moneys for the enter
tainment ofthe Car without the authority
of the Committee on Finance, the fact
having been shown that the last budget
contained paragraph allowing extraor-
binary expenditures TO be made for the
reception of any foreign visitors to the
republic. The storekeepers also have
protested to the Radicals that any stir.

ment OF the Gar might initiate against
future visits of royal personages, and
thus deprive them of considerable trade.
That there Is logic in this protest is
evidenced by the Government return lust
