DEMOCRACY ARRAIGNED.
Arkansas Populists Charge Them
With All Sorts of Vices.

LITTLE ROCK Ark.), Aug. 30
The State Populist Central Committee
issued a long address to the voters yes
terday After arraigning the Democ-
racy for all the vices known to the
criminal calendar, the address says:
This question of personal liberty is
of more importance Just now than any
question of finance or tariff. To be a
freeman is of more Importance than
having free silver
The Democratic rarity is wholly re-
sponsible fo-- the present vicious bar
barous, unamerican, undemocratic cleo
ton laws, and some of the leaders, even
though they profess to favor honest
elections, are largely responsible for its
present condition.
They oppose any and every amend
nient looking to any improvement or
modification. Then, if reform is to be
had, it will not and cannot be had by
electing the Democratic ticket.
We appeal to all honest men,
whether Democrats, Republicans, Pop
ulists or Prohibitionists, to vote for no
man who is not in favor of honest cleo
tons.
Defeat with your honor unsulliei is
better than success clouded by fraud
The hope for reform and relief depends

that has even been whispered of in prl-

CABINET RESERVATIONS.
THOSE IN JAPAN NOT THOUGHT
TO DENOTE A CRISIS.
Merely Made to Give ItO's Successor
Chance to Appoint His
Own Cabinet.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 30.-The only
significance to be attached to the res
ignation of the entire Japanese Cabinet,
which was apparently not deemed of
sufficient Importance in Toxic official
circles to notify the Legation at Wash
ington of, is thought here to be wholly
personal, Count Ito having resigned
after long wishing to be relieved of Off
cial cares, his colleagues have formally
rendered their designations on the APP
pcintment of his successor, to give the
new Premier, Count Kuroda, an oppor-
tunity to select his own assistants.
AT the Legation here confidence is ex-
pressed that no crisis exists, as rumored
from an unreliable source, as Count
Itos intention to retire has been known
TO the general public for some time.
Count Kuroda has previously filled the
Premiership, but on account of the diff
ference which Parliament brought
about five years ago was succeeded by
Yamagata, who in turn was Ito's prede-
cessor.
Parliament is now in session, and it is
therefore preposterous to attribute any
political reasons for the Cabinet change.

TERRIBLE WRECK AVERTED.
AN ENGINE ON PIXIES PEAK COG
ROAD JUMPS THE TRACK.
Luckily the Carload of Passengers
Behind 1t Was Brought
Under Control.

COLORADO SPRINGS (Col), Aug
30-What might have been one of tie
most disastrous railway wrecks of the
year was narrowly averted on the ia
nous Pixies Peak cog road just two
miles above Manitou this afternoon.
The engine with one car completely
filed with passengers left the summit
Of Pixies Peak shortly after II o'clock.
Everything went well until one of the
steepest grades of the road above Mani
tou cog station was reached, when one
of the connecting rods OF the engine
broke and twisted out a cylinder head.
Control of the ponderous piece of ma
chinery was was lost Immediately and it
started down the steep grade with
frightful momentum. The engineer and
firemen Jumped for their lives and es-
capped with only severe shaking up.
The runaway engine remained on the
rails for a distance of nearly a mile.
when just above Shady Springs it
jumped the track and collided with a
gigantic rock, which it split in twain.
The rebound sent the engine into a ra-
vine 100 feet below. The engine pre-
coded the passenger coach but was not
attached TO il. When the danger be-
came apparent the signal was given for
the coach brakes and the car was
stopped before it also got beyond con-
troll, thus probably saving the lives of
scores of passengers. In the car were a
party of distinguished railway people.

that the Conservative party held a Sc
cret meeting last night and decided to
ask the Home Government for Weyler' s
recall and if refused to forcibly expel
him, as was done to General Dulce in the
last war.
1t is understood that Consul Lee has
strongly protested against the notice
posted at the entrance to Cabana Fort
ress, stating if the American Consul
present himself there to detain and ar
rest him. Lee has also demanded that
Weyler make a full investigation of
Charles GOWNS death.
1t is further reported that Quintin

cree which Captain General Weyler has
decided to issue suspending the work OF
gathering the coffee crop in Cuba and
also of his action in forbdding Span

ings with the insurgents. The dispatch
also says that the American Consuls in
Cuba have protested against the en-
forcement of the latter order upon the
ground that it would prevent them from
securing information which the State

Consul Muth at Madgeburg, in dis
patch to the State Department says the
first reply to Germany in reference to
increased bounties comes from Austria,
where the consumption tax has been in
creased from 4.45 to 5.26 per 100 kilos
raw sugar net. and the total amount of
export bounty to be granted by the
Government has gone up from s., 023,

into operation August LIST and lasts one

France for the present has only in
creased the duty 6S cents on raw sugar
and 81 cents on refined grades per hun

tering the country to compete with her

FELL FROM HIS BALLOON.
Sergeant Baldwin of the Signal Serv-
ice Seriously Injured at Denver.

DENVER, Aug 30.-Sergeant Ivy
Baldwin, attached to the Government
Signal Service Of the Department of
the Colorado, fell from his balloon while
making an ascension al Mitchell's Gar
dens to-day, and will probably die of
his injuries. AS the balloon was re-
leased and rushed upward a sudden
gust of wind blew the aeronaut swing
ing from a trapeze, against tree, the
shock dazing him so that he lost his
presence of mind, and when above the
tree tops he let go his hold, falling a
distance of forty feet. Both arms were
oxen, a hip dislocated and one eye
was seriously wounded. He was taken
to st. Anthonye Hospital where he lies
unconscious.
Ivy Baldwin has had a romantic ca
reer, having given balloon exhibitions
all over the world. About two years
ago Captain w. A. Glasford, who has
been experimenting with balloons as a
means of signaling in army work, in
duced Baldwin to enlist, and his prac-
teal knowledge of ballooning has been
OF great value. The aeronaut has been
taking great interest in the equipment
Of the new balloon park at Fort Lo-
gan, where practical operations were

The occasion seemed to affect Ii deeply.
In conversation with Colonel Grant he
referred to his warm admiration of the
late Generals qualities. One of the
leading reasons, he added, for return
ing home by America was to visit his
friends grave. Through the interpre-

mausoleum, towards which he forward
ed Hon. John Russell Young a check
for $500.
After remaining standing for twenty
minutes alongside of the casket Ii ut
tered several words in Chinese and
made a profound bow. Stepping back
ward to the door he repeated the same
words to himself and made a second
bow. Then he withdrew. AS he seated
himself in the sedan chair the crowd ut
tered a rousing cheer. This seemed to
please him greatly, for he genially nod
ded his head
The entire party then entered carri-
ages and were driven to the residence
of Colonel Grant on East Sixty-second
street. There crowd of 5000 people
awaited him. Ii declined the use of the
sedan chair, and leaning on the arm of
General Ruger and Colonel Grant he
assembled the flight of carpeted steps.

son of the late General The members
of the family followed.
The Viceroy was conducted to the
parlor, where he was received by Mrs.
Grant, widow of the late General Mrs
Grant and Ii are old friends, and the
meeting was affecting. Mrs. Grant
met his excellency in China in 1879,
when accompanying General Grant on
his trip around the world.
The Viceroy was presented to all the
| invited guests. He spoke feelingly to
Mrs Grant Of the great loss she had
sustained in the death of her husband,
and said that he would always cherish
the Generals memory. Then the Vice
| roy presented Mrs. Grant witli several
pieces of brocaded silk, a rare Chinese
vase and a number of chests of tea He
also presented U. S. Grant, Jr., son of
Colonel Grant, with valuable jade
stone. The Viceroy seemed to enjoy his
visit greatly Refreshments were served,
but Ii contented himself with taking
two cups of tea and smoking a few
cigarettes. The visit lasted an hour.
When Ii was on the point of leaving
Mrs. Grant presented him with a large
sized steel engraving of her husband
