the sake of an early supper and nights
sound sleep.
The following morning found the
corridors Of the hotel thropged with
editors, tho Eastern and Middle states,
and some of the Southern states, being
represented in the party. Most of tho
gentlemen were accompanied by ladies,
and the large parlors of the house pre-
scented an animated appearances. 1t was
q sociable gathering and introductions
were soon made and many pleasant
acquintances formed.
Accompanied by MIR. J. Nj. S. Hunter
of Pennington, the genial editor of the
Chronicle, and his accomplished wife, we
started out for visit to the White House
On the way We were joined by very
pleasant party Of .Pcnnsylvanans-al for
Reed. Good fortune smiled on us this
time, for rs we ncared the executive
mansion, we met Hon. Nelson Dingley
'Jr., the able and courteous representative
! Of the second Maine district. Although
pressed by other calls, he very kindly vol
untcsred to accompany our party to the
White House, AT the entrance of the
grounds we met Vice President Stephen
son, who was introduced TO the members
OF our party by Mr.. Dinglcy, and who
very graciously invited us to visit his
room at the capitol.
AT the White House through the kindly
offices Of Mr. Dingley, we were enabled to
see number of rooms not ordinarily
opened to tho public, which, under the
present regime, is only admitted to the
| east room. in addition to this apartment
we were taken through the green room,
! the biuc room, and the red room All OF
| these apartments were brilliantly lighted
and decorated for little reception which
Mrs. Cleveland was to hold in them few
minutes after cur call. From the White
House Mr.. Dlnglcy went to the treasury
| department with cur party and having
secured us a competent guido there bid us
gooG morning and hurried to the capitol
! to preside over the House of Representa-
tives ut the request Of Speaker Reed As
one of our party remarked 10 him in part
ing our meeting with him at such an
opportune time seemed like q special dis
pcnsation Ct Providence. The trip
| through the treasury department was full
of interest especially to the rooms where
the sheets of bills were being cut apart
and counted, and where the seal was be
ing added to them on presses specially
designed for that purpose. The lady es-
perts who count this money and make it
into packages are said to be the most
rapid in the world
They receive salaries of $1,000 per year
| quite nice little income: but no more
than they earn. The care that is taken with
the money will appear when it is known
| that each bill is counted % times before
it is finally put away In the treasury
vaults in readiness for issue, and each

| the vaults where the coin is stored is fun
| of interest The contents of the vaults in

SPREAD RUM ON ALL SIDES.
Great harrington, Mass, Swept BY O
Most Disastrous Fire, Causing
Great Destruction.

GREAT HARRINGTON, MASS, Oct.
13.-The fire which swept over this place
last night spread disaster on all sides. The
business portion of the town was almost
completely destroyed. The telephone and
telegraph wires were burned out. Some
estimate the extent of the damage at
$500, and others at q much higher
figure. The fire was got under control at
day break and at 8 o'clock was entirely ex-
tinguished. Along Railroad avenue every
building was gutted. The Church block,
the principal one here, was utterly de-
stroyed. About sixty firms, representing
all kinds of business, and many families
were driven into the streets. The railroad
station was one Of the few places that es-
capped.
The Mill Hotel was also badly damaged.
Another fire broke out at o'clock this af-
ternoon in the annex OF the hotel, but was
quickly extinguished.

were put aboard the Lovize. The Lovize
then made sail and landed the MARSHALL S
crew at the Bermudas. After leaving the
Bermudas the Lovize had pleasant weather
until September %, when gale sprang
up and the bark soon sprang leak.
The men worked at the pumps, but the
bark made water rapidly. and by Septem-
Der 25 there ives thirteen feet of water in
the hold. The bark was then in longitude
so, latitude 35. Unable to keep the bark
afoat the crew took to the boats, there be-
ing in all nine men to the crew.
The crew. were well provlsioned and
watered, but the heavy sea running
swept half of the water overheard. FL
nally the two boats were lashed together
and a sea anchor put out, and in this way
they rode out the gale.
For nine days the men drifted along un-
der the tropical sun, and with but one
drink of water day suffered great agony
and anxiety. When they had nearly
abandoned hope they were picked up by
the steamer Evelyn. The Lovize was a
bark of 1858 tons and hailed from
Christiania, Norway.

TO DIVIDE AN ARCHDIOCESE.
archbishop corrigan May Give Up Some
of His Territory to Bishop
Kedne

NEW YORK, N. Y, Oct. 13.-It is re-
ported tonight that tomorrow at the
residence of Arch bishop Corrigan, Cardi-
nal Satolli, Bishop Keane and many other
Catholic dignitaries will consider the
question of dividing the archdiocese OF
New York. Archbishop Corrigan, whose
province EN- braces all of New York State
and Newark and Trenton dioceses, has
long found his work too heavy.
Bishop Farley acts as his assistant, and
should the diocese of Buffalo be made into
an archdiocese, the diocese OF Rochester
and Syracuse would probably be added.
It is said that the Right Rev. John J.
Keane would be appointed Archbishop
to preside over the new archdiocese. It
will be remembe that the Pope offered
to make him titular chblshop when he
was removed from the rectorship of the
Washington University.
Arch bishop Corrigan is said to be in
favor of the division, and if made, his
province would be the dioceses OF New
York, Long Island, Albany, Ogdensburg,
Newark and Trenton.
Archbishop Martinelli also is said to
favor the plan, which Cardinal Satolll in
dorses.
Father Connolly, secretary to Arch
bishop Corrigan, tonight refused to con-
firm or deny the report of the meeting.

Open Boats.
After Rescuing Sailors From Sink,
ing Vessel the Heroes Abandoned
Their Own Craft.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Oct. 13. = The
steamer Evelyn arrived here tonight with
the crew of the Norwegian bark Lovize
aboard. The Lovize was abandoned while
on a voyage from Mobile for Rosario, Ar
gentine Republic, and after nine days OF
suffering in an open boat her crew was
picked up by the Evelyn. The Lovize left
Mobile on August 16, with cargo of pitch
pine. On September heavy gale of
wind was encountered, before which the
bark scudded for two days.
On the 9th dismantIed ship was
sighted laboring in the sea. The Lovize
bore down to her and First Mate Edward
Callacksen and two men put off in small
boat to the Jaboring ship. The trip was at
the risk Of the mems lives, as heavy sea
was still running. Nevertheless they
reached the sinking bark, which proved to
be the P. E. Marshall of Digby, N. s., and
from Savannah for Santos, Brazil, with a
cargo Of pitch pine.

his native State for Mckinley. Mr.. Dur
bin was successful in arranging schedule
of thrty-six speeches for Mr.. Harrison,
not including numerous short talks which
he will make from the specia! train that
will take tie party through the State.
Mr.. Durbin said the great demands which
had been made on General Harrison by
personal and political friends and party
organizations throughout the Union to
deliver addresses had no doubt forced him
to the necessity of declining to speak out
side of Indiana.
United States Senator George W. Nc
Bride of Oregon came to headquarters
from the coast and assured Chairman
Hanna that great change had come over
the voters of that State favorable to Nc
Kinley, and the same was true OF Wash
ington. Committeeman Payne said he
had received report from the Washing
ton State Committee informing him that
there had been a landslide of Republi-
canism in the last ten days. Committee
man Cummins returned from fifteen
days trip to Iowa. He said he had made
careful canvass of his State and esti-
mated McKinley's majority would not be
less than 49, 900. He declared the majority
had increased every day he had been in
the State.
Congressman Boutelle will speak in
Los Angeles next Saturday, in Sacramento
on the 18th and San Francisco on the Goth.
During the last week of the campaign
Speaker Reed will go 70 California and de-
liver several addresses. The first will be
in Los Angeles October 27.
Governor Merriam of Minnesota was at
headquarters and arranged for speakers in
that State to close the campaign. Special
attention will be paid to Nebraska and
Kansas for the remaining three weeks of
the campaign. They will be literally
supplied with speakers.

The Chinese Idea Of Soaring Opponents Won't Work in America

He Will speak in Oregon October 22d and
'23d, and the rest of the campaign, from
IsOctober Goth to Noyem ber I'd, he will
lfstump Washington. His speeches will
deal with the tariff question, the instruc-
tons from headquarters being that all
National Committee speakers shall give
the Pacific Coast what they are asking
| for-the tariff talk. Mr.. Schoonmaker of
New Jersey, who is stumping ON the
coast, has been allowed by Chairman
Hanna TO re main there for the rest of the
cam paign, the leaders there having asked
for him.
Mr.. Hanna, commenting to-day on the
letter OF Archbishop Ireland, said it struck
the.keynote which the Republican orators
were now sounding all over the country in
presenting tue tendency of the Chicago
platform toward revolution. Mr.. Hanna
said the tariff was now the chief topic of
the speeches being made by the committee
orators, and he did not place much faith
in concentration of forces and successive
demonstrations in Cook County the last
Two weeks OF the campaign. He said the
numb ber of voters who could be induced to
change their opinions at that late hour
would not affect the general result.
Russell Harrison, son of the ex-Presi-
dent; United States Senator Brown of
Utah, Chairman Samuel ]. Roberts of the
Kentucky committee, Senator Saunders
of Montana, Governor Hastings OF Penn
sylvania and Congressman Dolliver of
Iowa were among the callers at headquar-

90 per cent would vote for Mckinley. ac-
cording to the poll made. He did not be-
heve there were half the silver RepuDli-
cans claimed by the Democrats.
Hon. Bourke Cochran OF New York also
called to see Mr.. Hanna. Saturday, Octo-

NEW YORK, N. Y. Oct. IA Sun
special from Washington says:
The United States practice ship Ban
croft, whose departure for European
waters has been the subject of profound
mystery, is to play an important part in
the effort OF the powers to bring about a
settlement of the Turkish question.
The little vessel is to force the Darda-
nelles with Minister Terrell standing on
her deck, and if any obstacles are placed
in the way by the I 1urkish forts the Medi-
.terranean fleet, under Admiral Selfridge,
now $50 miles away, Will come to her
assistance. The British. feet will also, no
doubt, be near at hand to back the Amerl-
can commander if occasion arises. From
the highest authority it is learned that
the powers have agreed to the programme
and not only will offer no objection or re-
sistance to the entrance of the Bancroft
to the Golden Horn, but will aid her if
necessary.

able Indication in the Nearness
of the Hearing.

LONDON, ENG, Oct 13.-Notwithstand-
ing the hope of the friends OF, Walter M.
Castle and his wife, Ella. that one or both
would be released at the examination in
the Great Mari borough Court to-
day, their plea of mot guilty" was not ac-
cepted. When the case was called Solic-
itor- Abrahams, who represents the ac-
cused merchant anc his wife, made q
formal motion for dismissal in the case of
Mr.. Castle on the ground that he had had
no connection with the alleged thefts.
His defense for Mrs. Castle was klepto-
mania, as had been outlined.
On behalf of Mrs. Castle, expert testi-
mony was introduced to show her mental
responsibility.
The Public Prosecutor introduced the
three tradesman from whose shops the
furs had been taken, They testified as
to the loss of the articles found in possess
sion of the Castles, and said Mr.. Castle
accompanied his wife when they were
taken. Evidence as to the finding of the
property in the room of the accused mer-
chant and his wife in the Hotel Cecil was
also introduced.
On this showing the magistrate refused
10 accept eltn6r plea. lne ueleDSe was
given the option of having the case dis
posed of there and then by the magistrate,
who could fix sentence, or of having it re-
manded for trial by jury. They accepted
the latter alternative and the cases were
set for trial on Tuesday OF next week.
Counsel for the accused asked that they
might be released on bail and the request
was granted, though bail was fixed at the
large sum of 100000 each. The accused
were returned to prison pending the ar
rival of bail bonds, for which their friends
Immediately began TO make arrangements.
The physicians of Holloway Jail stated
to the court that the detention of Mrs.
Castle in jail had been and would con-
tinue to be highly injurious to her health.
The prisoners were then admitted to
bail in the sum of f40, 900 ($2O0, ,O00} for
their appearance in court next Tuesday,
they having been further rema nded until
that day. Bail was furnished in two sure
ties, OF f5000 each for Mrs. Castle, and the
same for Mr.. Castle, and the prisoners
own recognizances for 100000 each. The

NEW YORK, N. Y, Oct. Ex-Governor
Raymon Coral of the State OF Sonora,
Mexico, accompanied by Secretary of
State ortez, is staying at the Waldorf
Hotel. Governor Coral, speaking to-day
upon the silver question, said:
''The conditions obtaising in my coun-
try on a silver basis and those in the
United States on gold basis are SO radi-
cally different that it is impossible to
make comparison betwecn them. Each
country must be considered by itself.

Chicago platform should be adopted" he
SAID, would be disastrous.
For myself, / do not believe that if
Bryan is elected his party will dare to
pass the free-coinage law proposed. 1t
would not only be disastrous, as l have
said, but woald precipitate revolution. 1t
is nonsense to say that the United States
is able to establish and maintain a finan-
cial policy OF the character proposed in
dependent of the rest of the world.
"There are two things no Govern ment
can do. One is to create an artificial
value and exact it; the other is to isolate
itself from the rest of the world and
achieve permanent prosperity.n

hen, diamond merchant. Holborn. and
Louis WE'LL, goldsmith, Hatton Garden.
The fourth surety was Charles Guthrie
of the firm of Chalmers, Guthrie & Co.,
bankers and merchants of Idol lane,
London.
Every effort will now be bent to make a
complete defense when the case shall
come up for trial next week. In addition
to expert medical testimony from London
physicians testimony from California will
be introduced to show kleptomania in
Mrs. Castle. Notwithstanding the unfav-
orable result of the plea of not guilty in
the case of Mr.. Castle his friends here are
confident that he will be acquitted at the
trial. The fact that they were given the
privilege of bail, and that their trial was
set for as early as next week, is considered
favorable indication.

GlauEus had suddenly closed with his
