tration of Mckinley as governor of
Ohio, in whics. it was shown that he
nearly bankrupted the state AMI was

Hanna's labor record He said:
Bryan is caricatured, as Lincoln
was, as hlghwayman. as a bomb
thrower. and in thousand similar
ways. Whether his views are correct
or not, who can deny that he is a
CITIZEN of whom any nation might
boasl? Compare him with the gagged
imprisoned individual who trembles
IN his mortgaged house lest Hanna
may f"reclose; compare him with that
unfortunate Napoleon who has al,
ready met his Wellington and sur
rendered his convictions. and it Is
plain to see which best represents the
principles of the Declaration of indie
pendence.
The lawihreaking, aggressive spirit
of monopoly has found perfect en-
bodiment in Mark Hanna. He towers
above Mckinley and above the Re.
publican party-the modern Blue
beard, who Stays his workers instead
of his wives. When Mckinley was
governor of Ohio Hanna was his
guardian and dictated legislation

STRIKERS NOT SATISFIED.
Disappointing Terms Made by
the Union Traction Com
pany.
An Appeal for Assistance Sent to the
Leading Societies of Phila-
delphia.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Dec. 31.-When
the street railway strike was declared off a
week ago and the strikers returned to work
it was the understanding that they were to
have hearing from the Union Traction
Company officials, at which hearing the
grievances of the men could be presented.
This hearing was given last night, a COM
mittee of the employees having a confer
ence with General Manager Bee:em which
lasted several hours. The result of the
conference was disappointing to the men,
particularly the refusal of the general
manager to grant them 81 for ten-hour
workday.
Mr.. Beetem consented to give the men
who struck their old runs and to put the
non-union men, on as extras. The propo-
sitions of Mr.. Beetem will be submitted to
meeting of the strikers for action.
Meanwhile the strike leaders anticipate
considerable opposition from the men to
these propositions, and this afternoon the
executive committee of the strikers met
and drew up an address to the Christian
League, Tonbee Society, Universal Peace
Union, Woman's Health Protective Asso-
citation, Womans Union in the Interest OF
Labor, Single Tax Society, Wesleyan
Brotherhood, Young Mems Congress and
Mrs. Bora Worthington Bellows. The ad.
/ dress is as follows:
''Acting upon the advice of yours and
many other leading societies in Philadel-
| phia in bringing to close the strike which
was inausurated to bring ahoIt our just
demands, being assured that If we would
peaceably return to work that they would
assist US in every way in their power to
secure our demands, which they felt were
just and right, we now appeal at this time
for your assistance, as we have been max.
ing every effort in our power to secure
these demands, but SO far have been IN
successful. Our men have become restless
and impatient. We fear the. worst and
would kindly ask you to lend us your as
sistance and aid in bringing about a just
and amicable adjustment OF these ques-
tons"

Failure Of the Attempt to Justify
the Shooting of Colonel
Crofton.
GUILTY OF ALL THE CHARGES
Convicted of Drunkenness on Duty and
an Assault to Kill a Su.
perior Officer.

WASHINGTON. d. c., Dec. 31.-Lieu-
tenant Samuel S. Pague of the Fifteenth
Infantry Regiment was to-day dismissed
from the United States army in accordance
with the findings of court-martial. The
charge on which Lieutenant Pague was
tried was based on an attempt made by
him on the life OF the commanding officer
of his regiment, Colonel Crofton, at Fort
Sheridan, near Chicago, where the Fiji
teenth Infantry is stationed.
The verdict Of the court-martial was
guilty" and yesterday afternoon Presi-
dent Cleveland approved this finding. The
attempt made by Lieutenant Pague to kill
Colonel CTofton was sensational. AT the
time OF the happening last summer, it
was stated at Fort Sheridan that the lieu
tenant had rushed upon Colonel Crofton
while the latter was commanding the regi-
ment on dress parade, and fired at him
with revolver.
At the trial, however, it was shown that
the attempt was made in the apartments
OF Lieutenant Pague, where Colonel Crof-
ton was making a call on Mrs. Pague.
Lieutenant Pague tried to shoot the colonel
but was disarmed. He managed to fire a
shot, however, when Crofton had left his
quarters, and the bullet passed through
the coloneps coat.
In his own defense Lieutenant Pacue
claimed that Colonel Crofton's attentions
to Mrs. Pague had not been proper. After
the conclusion of the trialsa medical
examination of Lieutenant Pague, to de-
termine his sanity, was held, but the re-
suit indicated only that the lieutenant
was addicted to the use of intoxicating
liquors.
There is much sincere sorrow felt for
Lieutenant Pague among army officers,
who describe him as frank, manly and
courageous. He wss born in Ohio, and was
appointed to the military academy from
that State. He was graduated in 1876.
The general order dismissing Lieutenant
Pague from the service was promulgated
this afternoon, and takes effect immedi-
ately. 1t shows that he was found guilty
OF every charge and specification pre-
ferred. The charges were drunkenness on
| duty. attempt to kill a superior officer, and
| assault with intent to murder.

IN A BLAZE OF GLORY,
Close of the Successful Exposi-
ton of the Cotton
States.
During the Last Day at Atlanta All
Ceremony Was Dispensed
With.

ATLANTA, GA, Dec. 31.--The final day
of the exposition opened with clear sky.
During the early morning the temperature
was very low, but as the sun rose it
moderated rapidly and the cars to the ex-
position were we'll filled.
The grounds were thronged with people
and the buildings were full. Many of the
exhibitors had a small harvest in the sale
of souvenirs, while the Chinese village
auctioned off its bric-a-brac. The exhibits
were all in good shape and were not dis
turbed until after dark.
During the afternoon camels and dom
keys of Cairo street were driven out. but
most of the places on the Midway were
wide open and doing good business.
Altogether the crowd was one of the
largest during December. There was no
ceremonial. There had been so much of
ceremony heretofore that it was determined
to let the last day be a free and easy affair
so that the visitors might make the best of
their time seeing the exhibits.
This evening, as dark came on, the beau
tiful illumination was given and the cleo
trio fountain for the last time displayed its
charms. Although there was large
crowd the best of order prevailed and
everybody seemed to be in good numor.
The directors held meeting at o'clock
and transacted some business of import
ance, mainly directed to fire and police
protection for the buildings.
Tonight, at p NJ, force of experts
began packing up the pictures in the art
gallery, and at the same time a similar
work was begun on the Government ex-
hibits in the Mines and Forestry building.
1t is expected that the work of packing
and shipping exhibits in the Government
building will proceed rapidly. In the
Manufacturers building the foreign ex-
hibitors will attempt to dispose of their
wares as far as possible before packing up.
Mr.. Inman, chairman of the finance
committee, said the exposition, when all
the debts are paid, will have cost Atlanta
about 100000, or less than 10 per cent of
the money expended on the fair. This in.
cludes the original stock subscription and
the appropriation by the city. This is re-
garded as very satisfactory. 1t is esti-
mated that the immediate benefit to
Atlanta in money expended here by expo-
sition visitors amounts to Sc, ,0O0, 900 and
that the ultimate benefits to the CITY and
the cotton States are immeasurably beyond
this or any other conservative figure that
could be made.

EXTENDING THE LINES,
Enterprise of the Missouri, Kan.
Sas and Texas Trust
Company.
Race of the Road to Get Into Kansas
City Ahead of It's
Rivals.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Dec. 31-The
Missouri. Kansas and Texas Trust Com
pany of this city has practically gained
control of the Omaha and ST. Louis Rail-
road, which extends from Pattensburg,
Mo-, to Omaha, Nebr., q distance of 145
miles. The road will be made a part of
the Kansas City Northern connecting
railway system, one of the Missouri,
Kansas and Texas enterprises. It's ac-
quirement assures Kansas City new con-
nections with Quincy, Omaha, Des Moines
and other Northern cities, and is one of
the last moves necessary to bring the
Baltimore and Obio8 tes Illinois Central
and the Chicago Northwestern to this
CITY.
The Missouri, Kansas and Texas Com
pany has pushed ahead zealously since it
started to extend its railway enterprises
north of Kansas City, and expects to have
trains running into its grand central depot
before the Kansas City and Atlantic Rail-
way, the rival enterprise, completes its
BRIDE across the river.
The Kansas City Northern connecting
company will either use the Milwaukee
bridge or build another one close to it.
The Omaha and st. Louis road will be
sold on January 27, and will be imme-
diately bought in by the Missouri, Kansas
and Texas Company. Contracts will be
made at once, and twenty-seven miles of
track laid between Pattensburg and
Trenton, Mo. The Missouri, Kansas and
Texas Trust Company has already ac-
quired the Quincy, Omaha and Kansas
City, which extends from Quincy, ILL.,, to
Omaha, distance of 1876 miles, and will
control the Des Moines and Kansas City
line, which runs from Des Moines to
Gainesville, Mo. They are the important
links in the company's northern chain of
railways, and they will be connected as
quickly as time and money will permit.
The purchase of the Omaha and St. Louis
will ultimately give Kansas City short
and fast line East.

"Open House" No Longer a NetC- Fear
Day Feature.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. 81. - An
effulgent evening, giving promise of a
brilliant New Years day tomorrow, ushers
in the opening of festivities and official
ceremonies of 1896. New-Yean receptions
in their old conventional sense have been
gradually fading in Washington. and
the tradition Of ''open house, in its old
meaning is waning fast. The receptions
of citizens outside of official circles to-
morrow will be confined almost entirely TO
intimate friends.
The official ceremonies will be ushered
in with the Presidents reception at II
O'Clock in the forenoon, when, following
the greetings from the Vice-President, the
Cabinet officers and the members of the
diplomatic corps, army and navy officers
and other distinguished retinue and citi-
zens generally, the Presidents reception
at P. NJ. will end. The President will.
following the precedent OF years, be as
sisted in welcoming his callers by Mrs.
Cleveland and the ladies of the Cabinet.
Merging into the time of White House
ceremonies will come, as soon as the Off
cial callers have reached their homes, the
reception of foreign Ministers, Cabinet
officers and Others prominent in official
station. These, with many citizens, will
be at home at certain hours to accent and
respond to the felicitous saIutations of the
New Years greeting from many friends.
