MANLEY AND QUAY SPEAK.
Feel Assured That Mckinley Will be
 Elected Easily.

Cleveland, July 14-Messrs. Man ley, Clayton and Quay arrived in this city during the day. Cleveland seems to be the favorite for the headquar- ters Major Dick, MT. Hanna's right hand man, said in regard to the ninth member of the committee, that the ap- pointment would probably go to Cor nelius Bliss of New York.
 MT. Manley tonight said:
 ''McKinley's election is as much as- sured as was his nomination and that was practically settled long before the convention at St. Louis. I have no fears whatever as to the future success of the party. The cry of silver is con- fined to the west and those states are the only doubtful tsates but the party of populsts will not be able to over- come the great Mckinley majority that will rise up in all parts of the coun- try
 How will Sewall's candidacy affect the Mckinley vote in Maine?"
 The grand old state has never yet repudlated republicanism. MT. Sewall is popular and sfrewd business man and will perhaps poll the usual demo- cratic vote. But MT. Sewall is in bad company"
 Will MT. Reed stump for McKinley?''
 MT. Reed is a gold man so far as gold means sound currency, business activity and prosperity. He has never yet been found wanting when called by his party"
 Senator Quay said:
 T suppose we shall have to fight. You know how the people every once in a while since the world began have been deluded by false prophets. I have too much confidence in the American peo- pie to suppose they will be misled by the crank platform and crank prophets, but we shall have the usual political contest. There is no doubt of McKin- ley's election

DID HE FInn HIS sYoREe
The Mystery of Samuel Zach's Early Morn-
 ing Fire Leads to His Arrest.

Fl
 ing Fire Leads to His Arrest.
 Samuel Zack, whose store at S67 Grand avenue was burned early on the morning of July 6, was arrested last evening by Detective Dennehy, charg- ed with arson. He was locked up in default of $1,000 bail and will be ar raigned in the city court this morning.
 Zack's store caught fire about 1:3o o'clock on the morning of the 9th and there being a small stock of fireworks in the building it was not long before the whole interior of the store was de- stroyed.
 At the time Zaek said the fire was caused by a lighted cigar thrown by one of three men who were in his place eating ice cream and who would not pay for it until forced to do so. He stated at the time that he was out of the store to call a policeman when he turned and saw the whole store ablaZe. Discrepancies in the story told by Zack led to an investigation and the result is the arrest. It was stated on the morning of the fire that Zack carried no insurance. It now appears that he had $500 on his stock placed in the Fire mems Insurance company of Newark, N. J.

SPtAKS Ex C41HEDE4.
Former Secretary of the Treasury Fair
 child on Silver Fanaticism.

Spokane, Wash, July 14.-Hon. Charles s. Fairchild, secretary of the treasury under President Cleveland
 during his first administration, who Is
 in this city on business, was seen by a
 United Press reporter to-day. When
 asked for his views on the financial forms he said:
 There Is a misapprehension on the part of the people of the true functions
 of money. They seem to believe that
 the government can regulate the whole
 matter, which Is not the case It is
 said that free coinage would make a
 larger circulation medium, and as re- suit there would be rise of prices and
 an increase in prosperity. I do not
 hold that this would be the case The
 circulating medium Is not the amount
 of money. but the credits. In this re- spect confidence in one another aids in
 extending the circulating medium
 Few indeed, are the transactions ac-
 tually made by the use of money, but
 in all large dealings it is a passage of
 credits or settlements of balances even consider gold too cumbersome to be used in transactions"
 DO you believe that by free coinage there would be an advance in prices?" T am not sure but this would be the
 result. You charge more for an arti~ cle in poor money than you do in good and you would get larger prices for products in the same ratio that silver money is poorer than gold. Those who have debts to pay ante-dating the in troduction of silver, would, to the ex- tent that they could pay in cheaper money, be benefited, but this is a very small class indeed. What we want is money that is good anywhere and on which Is based large credits" Can the free trade vote for Mckin- ley even with gold plank, when the republican party says that the tariff is the issue?'
 ''We have tariff enough, and I guess it won't hurt to get In and stop this wildfre''

BRYAN,s APPEAL TO PATRIOTISM.
He Addresses Large Audience at Gem
 tralia, Ill.

|
 Centralia, H., July 14.-Mr. Bryan ar rived here at 6:10 o'clock. He was placed in the private carriage of Cap tain $. l.. Dwight and driven to the latter's residence. Mrs. Dwight and her sister, Mrs. Hausler, cousins of MT. Bryan. assisted the candidate and his wife In the reception given at Captain Dwight's house to the ladies of the town Afterwards there was a meeting at City park, where MT. and Mrs. Bry- an shook hands with a large number of people.
 The reception was not concluded be- fore there were cries for Bryan and he made an address. In part he said: Parties can only claim the support of the people when these parties are efficient instruments in the hands of the people for accomplishing good. In this campaign l believe there will be less of personalities and more of principle than in any campaign which we have seen in recent years. The people have before them two great questions
 "The republican platform did not promise any complete monetary sys-
  what it desired to have done and de- clared that the silver dollar should be full legal tender for all debts public and private and that such Legislation should be enacted as is necessary to restoration of unlimited coinage of sil- yer and gold at the ratio of 16 to l without waiting for the aid of any other nation.
 T want to ask two questions: If the gold standard is a good thing why should we get rid of it, and if the gold standard is a bad thing why should we wait until some other nations are will ing to help us let go? We care not upon which issue the force the fight we are prepared to meet them upon either issue or both. We who stand upon the platform adopted at Chicago do not come to you as supplicants to beg for your votes."
 MT. Bryan left for Salem at $50 p. m.

IN THREE FEET OF WATER.
Fireman on Consolidated Railroad Met With Serious Injuries at Savin Rock.

Fireman on ConsOitdaTed Ita1lrO&u MeC
 With Serious Injuries at Savin Rock.
 W. II. Brown, fireman on the Consol idated railroad, aged about thirty years, is at the New Haven hospital suffering from concussion of the spine caused by injuries received last even- ing at Savin Rock. Brown was bath ing at the time the accident occurred and dived off the platform over the steps at Cox's bath house. The water at the point where Brown dived was at that time only about three feet deep. The bather struck his head against the ground in such a way as to produce a. concussion of the spine, which caused a paralysis of the lower limbs. He was rescued from his perilous situation by some of the bystanders. It was found that he could not use his legs. A con- veyance was secured and Brown was taken to the New Haven hospital, where it was found that his injuries, though serious, were not necessarily fatal.
 Brown lives in Hartford and had run on the train which brought an excur- sion from Springfield to this city yes- Ierday.

BRYAy TO BE ENDORSED.
Local Silver Democrats Fear Their Col,
 Brethren.

Local Silver Democrats rear Iheir GolO Brethren.
 The democrats of New Haven will ratify the nomination of William Jen- nings Bryan for president of the United States. It is stated also that they will express their determination to support the platform of the Chicago conven- tion. The chairman of the town com mittee William J. Mills, announced yesterday that he would call that or ganization together on Tuesday of next week, and to self appointed commit tee waiting upon him yesterday after noon implied that should there be de- velopment of sentiment in favor of the calling of the meeting earlier it might be done.
 A prominent democrat said last even- ing that the majority of the members of this committee were of the Bryan persuasion, and a ratification meeting was inevitable if the committee met. Continuing, he said ''There is no long, CT any doubt that in the machinery of the democratic party of this city and town the silver men are in the ascen-
 dency, and notwithstanding the stand taken by many of the business men who affiliate with the party, the rank and file are determined to have their way just as much as the men who con- trolled affairs in Chicago had theirs" The excuse given for the calling of | the meeting of the town committee at
 an early date is that they 5(the silver men) do not want the machinery of the party to fall into the hands of the gold | democrats.
 Yesterday afternoon a committee,
 consisting of ex-Judge Blydenburgh, ex-C City Clerk James B. Martin, David T. McNamara, James Maxwell, Select man Bretzfelder Charles T. Coyle of | the board of compensation, Joseph Manning and T. K. Dunn, after a con- | ference in D. T. McNanara's office, waited upon William J. Mills the chair man of the town committee, and urged upon him the necessity of calling the committee together and prepare for a grand rally
 It was reported in one of the after noon papers that club had been form ed in the Seventh ward. The club has
 not yet been organized, but meeting will be held for this purpose tomorrow | evening"

POPULTSTS TO SUPPORT BRYAN
National Secretary of Peoples Party Ad-
 viscs This Action,

Washington, July 14.-Mr. J. P. Turner, secretary of the national committee of the peoples party, issued a manifesto to-day, advising all populists to ratify the nomination of Bryan at the popu- list convention at St. Louis on July g. In the course of his address he says:
 ''The truth of it is that the only point the poDulists now have to decide is whether or not they will take Mir. Bry- an, whom every gold bug in the coun- try has denounced as a populist for our next president of the United States or whether they will take MT. Mckinley. who represents everything that the popuiists have denounced and just the oposite of everything they have advo- eated since they have been a party"

Ranks-War Between Blacks and Whites
 Serious Internecine Troubles-NIay Af-
 feet the Cause of Cuba Libre.
 Philadelphia, July 14.-Cablegrams received here to-day from Cuba confirm the story of the killing of General Jose Maceo, the Cuban insurgent leader. It would appear that a race war has broken out in the insurgent ranks be- tween the whites and the blacks, and that the shooting of Maceo is the first incident of this conflict. Since the ar rival in Cuba of General Caixto Garcia that leader and Maceo had not been friendly. Maceo resented the superior authority conferred upon Garcia by the Cuban junta.
 When the last cargo from Bermuda was landed Maceo seized all the arms and munitions. Garcia protested against this confiscation. When the last cargo from the Three Friends was landed Maceo with 150 men took pos session of the arms and ammunition. AS he was returning from the coast he was ambushed and shot dead by men who, it is asserted, were from his own army.
 The trouble between the blacks and whites has been further accentuated by the recent shooting by General Gomez. after court martial, of Manuel Con- gales, provincial treasurer, his secre- tary and several subordinates because of an alleged shortage of S15,000 or more in the cattle tax funds. Gonzales and the other men shot by Gomez were negroes.

IRISH LAND BILL.
Withdrawal alofAmendmentsS of Sharply Crit

cised by Government Supporters.
 London, July 14.-The withdrawal of the amendments to the Irish land bill offered by Gerald Balfour, chief secre- tary for Ireland, is being sharply crit icised by friends of the government and has caused much rejoicing among the radicals, whose supporters in newspaper per circles are rejoicing over the gov ernment's discomforture.
 The Times, a government paper, at tributes the action of MT. Balfour to bad management.
 The News predicts that the amend ments withdrawn will be added to the bill by the house of lords and that by the application of closure they will be forced through the house of commons. The general belief is that Joseph Cham berlain, secretary of state for the col onies is responsible for the withdrawal of the amendments by his support of T. w. Russell the Ulster unionist lead- CT, in his objections thereto.
 T. P. O'Connor, discussing the sub- ject in his paper, the Sun, to-day says:
 'The plain truth is that, though MT. Russell was the ostensible agent of this collopse, the whole affair was a personal triumph for MT. Chamberlain and the landlord ring. The cabinet would have paid little attention to Rus sells protest, as with their large ma jority in the house of commons, they could easily afford to disregard the clamor of a few Ulster men. But Rus sell is Joe's protege and follower, and Balfour, who would smile at the idea of being disconcerted by Russell, re- tires from the lists before a salaried official. As Joe cannot afford toS9 lose supporter, he has cunningly seized the chance to assert himself and his friends an to humiliate the house of Cecil"

THE NATIONAL CAPITAL.
Reduced Rates via 3. & o.

The City of Washington is an object
of perennial interest to all patriotic
Americans. Not alone because ii is the
great throbbing heart of the mighttieS
and grandest Republic the earth has
ever known, but also on account of its
material magnificence. All Americans
take pride IN its beautiful avenues, ma
ieStC architecture, stately homes, and
well stored galleries and museums as
things of grandeur and beauty in them
selves. apart from the historic interest
with which they are invested. It's a
hope and aspiration of all young Amer
lea. - at least, at some time or other to
visit the Capital of his country.
The Baltimore Il Ohio r. II. offers
unequalled facilities in aid of this desire
by inaugurating a series of popular eX-
cursions at reduced rates. a number of
persons from this section have availed
themselves of these excursions and found
the train service and other arrange
ments in keeping with the liberal policy
of the b. Il o.
The third excursion of the series, via
this popular line, is announced for
Thursday, April 23d. Pleasant side trips
have also been arranged to points OF in
terest in and about the Capital.
We give below a list of stations in this
vicinity, showing the time of trains and

of the new enterprise. The shops were
built in 1882, and were originally in

and for number Of years little or no

A Note of Warning.

EDITOR REGIsTER-Would you per-
nit word political to enter your paper
at this early day in the campaign, di-
rected especially to the Democratic par
ty of this county?
From present appearances the Dem
ocratic party is doing nothing. But
the silver element, or, more strictly
speaking, those who advocate the free
and unlimited coinage of silver, are not
only organizing, but are moving, as it
were, Heaven and earth to bring the
Democratic party of this county into
line with the silver party Report says
that Judge Daniel B. Lucas, Editor
Ruthven Morrow and Major Mcdonald
are each booked for free silver speech
at this place in the near future.
Now if the fight before the Democrat
ic primary is to be upon the issue of
free silver or sound dollar with one
hundred cents in it, then by all means
let it be a fair and open fight. Let the
Democrats of the county rouse them
selves to the Importance not only of
holding the Democratic majority in State
and district, but in the county as well.
Once let the entering wedge of an in
dependent ticket or split in the party
be started then goodby to Democratic
Jefferson That it should be so much
as even limited at that Jefferson county,
the gem of the coronet of West Virginia,
should elect a Populistic ticket-for,
Mr.. Editor. as sure as fate there is but
one step between the extreme silver men
and the Populist party, and don't think
there is more than one half step between
the Populsts and the ranks of the COM
munIsts and socialists. Are the people
of this county blind to the fact that one
of the most jealous silver men, and one
who has continually traduced and Will
fed such leaders of the party as Presi-
dent Cleveland, w. L. Wilson, Secretary
| Carlisle and Others who have differed
with him on some questions, is coming
before the party in this county for nom
| nation in the primaries, when certain
" it is an unwritten law of these prima-
rieS that all who enter them in contest
will honestly abide by the decision and
support the nominee? Now | repeat II
the nomination of candidates for coun-
ty and district Offices is to be fought
out upon the silver issue, then let the
Democrats arouse and willingly accept
the gage thrown down, and let us see
where jefferson county stands. Silver
men have asserted publicly that they
will vote for none but silver men for
county and legislative offices, and are
now working to send silver delegates to
the Davis convention from this county.
