SILVER OBJECTIONS.
How o. J. McCue Explains Return OF
Some Republicans to Their Party.

Thomas McCue of Colby, member of
the Democratic state executive commit
tee from the Sixth district, is in the
city. Mr.. McCue said to a reporter:
I do not see any change in the sit
uatiOn out our way. They say that
some of the silver men have gone back
on their beliefs, but I don't know of a
single one that has said he would vote
for silver since the St Louis and Chi
cagO conventions were held that will
not do so. Those silver men that have
gone back are Republicans who were
favorable to silver before their conven-
ton was held and platform adopted,
and some of them have simply swal-
lowed the platform and stayed in the
party.
Bryan will carry the Sixth district
by an increased vote, and the state
ticket, so far as the Democrats are con-
cerned, will run right along with the
electoral ticket. There will be some
of the Republican silver men who will
vote for Bryan that may vote for
Morrill,, but don't think there will be
many votes cast for Bryan that will
not be cast for the state ticket I
think Ellis will be defeated, as the lit
tie complications in the opposition to
him will be settled soon
THE gold Democratic vote out there
won't amount to anything. We have
no gold Democrats to speak of, and
what votes are cast for Palmer will be
a loss of just so many votes for Nc

say positively that Mr.. Bryan would
be here, but said he would do all he
could and would see what he could do.
Mr. Johnson, the Kansas member of the
national committee, said the same

committee in regard to the matter at

hours in declaring its entire non-parti-

that the committee has really done its
best to get both presidential candidates
here. 1t is even yet possible to get one,
and remotely possible to get both. But
at any rate it is time to move heaven
and earth as the saying goes, to have
some renowned speakers here even if
we can't get presidential candidates.

And We Must Have Tom Reed

Here to Meet the Mighty
ThrOngs
FOR FESTIVAL WEEK.
All the Railroads Already
Crowded With Queries
About Rates and Special Cars
For Topeka.

That Topeka will have the largest
number of visitors ever within her linn
its during Fall Festival week is now
an assured fact. Topeka's Festival
and State Reunion is being discussed
in all portions of the state, and the
railroads running into this city are re-
ceiving inquiries daily from their
agents along the lines both in Kansas
and Oklahoma concerning the week OF
festivities.
w J. Black, assistant general pas
senger agent of the Santa Fe, says the
Festival is stirring up more interest
throughout the state than anything of
the kind ever held in Kansas. Agents
at many points are asking that special
cars be placed at their disposal for the
accommodation of the people Of their
respective towns who will visit Topeka
during the week, and it is probable that
excursion trains will be run for several
of the larger points. There is no doubt
that the railroads will do an enormous
passenger business during the week.
The flyers gotten out by the advertis-
ing departments of the different roads
giving the programme for the week,
will be ready for distribution next
week

PALMER Will TOUR
Several of the Southern States With
Buckner This Month.

Indianapolis, Ind, Sept. 5.-Vey Hol-
man, of Maine has been added to the
executive committee of the national
Democratic party. Mr.. Holman viii
have charge of the literary bureau.
L. H. Krauthoff of Missouri will take
charge of the speakers bureau, if he
can arrange his business at St. Louis.

tember II. On the same day and in
the same city, John R. Fellows of New
York will notify General Buckner of
his nomination for the vice presi-
dency.
After the notification of both candi-
dates, a short tour will probably be
made by the candidates through one
or two southern states. If the ar
rangements are agreeable to the can
didates, the party viii go to Nashville
on September IA, thence to Memphis on
the 18th. Mr.. Fellows will be of the

CRANE TO ENJOIN.
Will Try to Stop the American Book
Company From Entering Kansas.

George w Crane says that he in
tends to bring proceedings against the
American Book company to prevent
that concern from doing business IN
Kansas. This-is the outgrowth of the
recent school book fight in the county.
He intended to bring injunction pro-
ceedings to prevent the text book com
mittee from entering into contract
with the American Book company but
the committee executed the contract
and adjourned while Mr.. Cranes attOr-
neys were in search Of Judge Hazen.
An effort was made this morning TO
secure reconsideration in Mr.. Cranes
case but Bradford Miller who was a
member of the text book committee
raised the question that since the vote
was by ballot it could not be recOnsid-
cred. He also said that several mem
bers of the committee had gone home
with the understanding that there was
nothing more to be done but execute
the contract and approve the bonds of
the book companies. Mr.. Miler's point
was considered a good one and the COM
mittee refused to reconsider.
Mr.. Crane said today to a Journal re-
porter that he intended to fight the
American Book company on the ground
that it is a trust. L will be in the
fight" said he, until either my COM
pany or theirs goes down. Mr.. Crane
says he will attack the company on
their right to do business in Kansas
under the antitrust law.
Mr.. G. G.. Burton, the local represen-
tative of the American Book company
said that the question of whether his
concern is a trust or not has been con-
Sidered by the committees of three
state legislatures and he has no fears
of the result of any legal proceedings.
Judge Hazen at a late hour this af-
| ternoon granted a temporary restrain
ing order on application of Crane &
Co., to prevent the American Book Co.
from selling any books in Shawnee
| county under the contract made today
with the county text book board. The
| application for a permanent injunction
| is to be heard next Tuesday afternoon.

Press.)
London, Sept. SIT is reported among
the delegates who are bound for the
trades union congress, which opens at
Edinburgh on Monday next, that all
the plans for a gigantic strike of the
dock labOrers of the world-at-Iarge
have been perfected in. everything but
the minute details, and that the most
important labor movement ever con
ceveived may be commenced this au-
tUmn.
The present plan is to unite all classes
of laborers employed in or about the
docks, ships, wharves and warehouses
in the United Kingdom, the United
States, Canada, Germany, France, Hol-
land, Belgium and Australia as well
as other countries, in one great, new
federation
Its members are to wear a specific
badge, and the cardinal principles of
membership will be to stand firmly
united and to implicitly obey the in
structions of the governing council in
spite of anything and everybody.
Tom" Mann, one of the leaders of
the movement, was interviewed by a
representative of the Associated Press.
He said:
THE organization which is control
ling this new movement is called the
International Federation of Ship Dock
and Rivers, an organization that direct
ly appeals TO over one million men.
When we have completed the organ
izatiOn of these men, and SO far we are
sure of a fourth of the number men
toned, and the number is growing
every hour, it will be the biggest event
that has happened in the labor move
ment
In the United States our PROPOSE
tions have met with a cordial recep-
ton from Mr.. Gompers, who has thor
Oughly distributed our literature in the
proper quarters. The replies already
received from the United States are
very encouraging, and SO soon as we
have made further progress here we
shall complete the work in the United
States and Canada by sending delegates
there, and all the little details of COM
pleting the organization of the new fed
Grafton will be finished and the result
will be that a strike will a. once be in
augurated here the dock Iaborers and
other members of the federation in
America will quit work at the same
hour, and our continental brethren will
also lay down their tasks
Yes, it is true that it has been pro-
posed that the general strike should
commence on September 28.''

HANNA'S SUDDEN VISIT.
Appears il Chicago to Confer With
Republican Leaders

Chicago, Sept. 5.-Chairman Hanna,
of the Republican national committee.
arrived in Chicago rather unexpected
ly this morning and went Immediately
to headquarters at the Auditorium.
Many prominent Republican leaders
were there to confer with him regard
ing the political situation in their re-
spective localities.
Mr. Hanna will remain here for two
weeks, during which time he will per-
sonally conduct the Mckinley campaign
in the west. Not long after his arrival
it was reported that the adVisability of
Mckinley making short campaign
trips next month was under cOnsidera-
ton. Neither Chairman Hanna nor
other Republican leaders would discuss
this report, although it was admitted
that the question had been under con-
sideratiOn.

MAY HEAD OFF WATSON.
Seems Likely that Kansas May Not
See the Populist Disturber.

Chairman Breidenthal has made no
definite appointments for Watson in
this state. 1t is probable that one
meeting will be held at F't. Scott and
another one at lola, and a third one
some where in the Fifth congressional
district. No definite order or dates
have been made yet.
While Chairman Breidenthal says
nothing in regard to the matter today,
that is different from what was said
yesterday, it is quite evident that Wat
son may not come to Kansas at all.
1t would probably be the easiest way
out of the dilemma for all concerned.
to assure Chairman Butler that Kan
is safe and that Watson should be
sent to some doubtful state.

HEADS CARRIED ON Pixies.
Some of the Horrible Incidents of the
ConstantinopIe Massacre.

London, Sept. 5.-The Chronicle this
morning contains an interview with
Miss Grace n. KimbaIl, NJ. D, the New
York missionary from Bangor, Me.
Miss Kimban has just arrived in Lon
don from Turkey and was an eye wit
ness of the recent massacre in Con-
stantinople and Bebok. She expresses
the belief that the massacres were
originated by the Turks. Miss KIM
ball says further: Undoubtedly a
strong revolutionary movement is go
ing on in Turkey but the methods to
suppress it are both inhuman and in
tolerable."
Among the victims Of Constantine
pie were several Italians whose heads
were carried through the streets on
pixies.
Tt is rumored that the sultan had
actually issued an order for the mas
sacre of all the Armenians and the
ambassadors had to use threats to get
it rescinded.
