THE SLUM WORK.

One of the great movements of the
army is in the slums. The corps en-
gagged in this work are distinct from
the field corps. They properly con-
sist of two parts, slum and rescue
work. All of this work in the whole
country is under the supervision of
Brigadier Mrs. E. j. Brown in New
York. 1t is managed separately from
the other corps in a given division. In
Chicago the slum and rescue corps are
directed by Adjutant Turpin. Miss
TurDin also has supervision over st.
Louis. In Chicago there are two corps.
One on Canal near Twelfth street and
the other in the neighborhood of Polk
and Clark streets. The officers wish to
have the exact location of these head
quarters kept secret, thinking it best
for the sake of the nature of the work.
The slum work is among the destitute,

. CANTON NIGHT AT CANTON.

Canton, O., Oct. 2S.-All Canton was divided into two parts today-those who marched to Major McKinley's and those who cheered the marching throngs. The business men of Canton, irrespective of party, announced few days ago that on Wednesday about sundown they would call in a body on Major Mckinley. To- night they made good their promise More than 5000 men formed in line and marched with banners and bands to the Mckinley residence. Darkness fell as they gath cred in solid phalanX in the streets around the candidates home. There were acres of people. Major Mckinley has not been greeted by a larger or more earnest as- semblage than that of his own townsmen, which confronted him tonight. He was visibly affected, and there was thrill of emotion in his voice when he spoke. Introductory remarks were made by Alex Hurford, one of Canton's business men, and by MT. w. w. Clark. Then the cheer ing for Mckinley commenced anew, and rolled in waves up and down the streets for many minutes. It was the most en- gazing and inspiring scene of a day that has been crowded with pleasant and in- teresting incidents.

CARLISLE AT LOUISVILLE.
Said He Was One of the Best Friends
 of Silver

Louisville, Ky, Oct. 2S.-Secretary of the Treasury Carlisle spoke tonight in Louisville. He spoke in the Auditorium, the largest building in the city, and the audience which listened to the distin- guished Kentuckian was even greater than that which assembled to do honor to Palmer and Buckner when they were notified of their nominations last month.
 The Auditorium seats nearly 4500, and every seat was taken before o'clock At 8 o'clock every aisle and doorway was jammed, and there were about 1000 peo- pie in the building.
 MT Carlisle arrived at the Auditorium at B o'clock. His appearance on the stage was the signal for an outburst of ap- plause. It continued for five minutes nearly every man in the audience being on his feet, waving hats, flags and hand kerchiefs.
 MT Carlisle was given a respectful nearing, and there was no disturbance of any kind whatever. The mention of President Cleveland's name elicited much applause.
 MT. Carlisle criticised the Chicago plat form in regard to the plank criticising the supreme court. He said that should dishonest administration come into power 1t could never be displaced as it could so use patronage that 1t could hold on despite all that patriotic people could do. As for himself, he was an American citizen, and was for his country first and party afterwards. The root of all evil Mir. Carlisle said, was the vicious legal tender paper known as treasury notes, which would be succeeded by streams of gold should they be retired.
 Mir. Carlisle said he had been accused of being unfriendly to silver, but he would say that if everybody was as friendly to silver as the secretary of the treasury there would be far more silver in circulation than there is at present. He said that the treasury was continually paying freight on silver to distant points, but 1t kept coming back and could not be gotten rid of. MT. Carlisle closed by ap- pealing to all good citizens to vote for honest government and sound curren- cy."
 When the secretary took a seat amidst great applause there were loud yells for Colonel John R. Fellows, who made few remarks.
 Colonel Fellows referred to the Coving- ton egging by saying that the majority of the people thought the Lord intended eggs for food, but the siverites believed they were made for argument. Mr Car lisle was very much amused at the New Yorker's sally. When Colonel Fellows had finished, he and MT. Carlisle held an impromptu reception on the stage.

THEY ARE WORRIED.
Rank and File of Chicago Republicans
 Agitated at Bryan's Inroads.


 Agitated at Bryan's Inroads.
 Chicago, H., Oct. 2S.-Telephone mes- sages and personal callers kept the cam paign managers in a constant state of activity today at republican national, state and county headquarters. The rank and file of the party, were concerned about the effect which Mr. Bryan's cam paign in Cook county might have on the election day result in the city and state. To all such inquirers the republican lead CTS returned the answer that the eleventh hour effort of the democrats to capture not change any material number of votes there was no fear expressed at any head
 The big crowds were accounted for by the fact that this was Cbicago's first real chance to see and hear the presidential nominee, and hundreds of republicans went to each meeting chiefly from curios- ity. National Committeeman Jamieson of Illinois, who has been the most conserva- tive of any party manager here when dealing with the republican side of the situation. said: q feel justified in in- creasing the figures of McKinley's esti- mated majority in Cook county as a re- suit of Bryan's visit. There is no such thing as defeat here. The Bryan and Altgeld managers are straining every effort to carry; Illinois on the theory that the state holds the key to the presidential situa tion. The labor vote here for Mc- Kinley will be bigger than the democratic managers have any idea of. We can al- low them 70 per cent of 1t and win in a walk"

had been accorded three representatives at each of the polling places, and as the sugar planters had fused with the regu- lar republicans on the electoral ticket named by the latter, they had no right to ask for additional representation-in fact had no standing in court. The judge re- ferred to the sugar planters as disgrun- tied democrats, who abandoned their own party two years ago, and now sought to control the regular republican party or ganization without coming into the party fold.
 The planters were evidently playing for such a ruling by the court as would give them the vantage ground in the future. Had they been sincere in their proffer of fusion with the regulars they would not have instituted mandamus proceedings after signing the fusion agreement and would thus have avoided the humliating spectacle in which Judge Munroes de- ciSion places them.

LILLY WHITES" SLAPPED.
Judge. Munroe Calls Them "Disgruntled t Democratic Deserters."

New Orleans, La, Oct 28.-In the man. canius proceedings instituted in the civil district court by the Howell or Lilly White sugar planter element of the re- publican party, praying for an order com polling the board of election supervisors to give them representation at the polls on the ground that they were the republi- can party of Louisiana, Judge Munroe, in very able and lengthy verbal opinion, held that there was but one republican party in this state or in the United States: that the republican party had maintained an mbroken organization from Fremont to Lincoln and from Lincoln to the pres ent time; that the republican party of this state, through it's state organization, was reorganized by the republican national committee and by the national conven- <fon which convened in St. Louis in June last and nominated a candidate for pres ident and vice president of the United Staies;i that. the recognized republican party of Louisiana, recognized on the national committee by A. T. Wimberly.

TWO MORE SPEECHES.

MT. Bryan's third address was deliv- cred before an audience composed mostly of women. It was a we'll dressed gather ing. Nearly all the ladies who attended came in gowns suitable for afternoon calls. They crowded into the building as soon as the doors were opened. filled the limited number of chairs on the floor and took possession of all available standing room and every chair in the gallery. Sev- eral thousand who were unable to gain entrance stood on the outside to see the candidate when he arrived. It was in- tensely close inside the armory, and a dozen women succumbed. MT. and Mrs Bryan reached the armory at o'clock As they came on the stage, where a choir of young women hnd just finished singing patriotic song, the audience rose en masse and cheered with vigor, the deep tones of the male portion drowning the shrill cries of the ladies. Mrs Duncanson president of the Women's club introduced MT. Bryan, who made very brief speech similar to those delivered on these tours to gatherings of women.
 Leaving Mrs. Bryan behind, the candi- date proceeded to the Transit house, in the stock yards district accompanied by Thomas Gahan, national committeeman from Illinois, and Ex-Mayor Gushing of Omaha. The stand from which he spoke was erected on the south side of the Tran sit house, and in the narrow street just in front of it great throng had assem- bled. The space was exceedingly con- tracted. A big livery stable marked the boundary for the rear of the crowd which of necessity spread out over the sides for considerable distance. Twen- ty-five thousand is a reasonable estimate of that mass of swelter,ng humanity waiting for MT. Bryan to appear. It was 4:15 o'clock when he did come, and the re- marks of Tim Carrabine, a local commits sion merchant, were cut short in the storm of applause which arose. MT. Car rabine introduced him, handing him a silver horseshoe, and as he did so the multitude howed again. The audience was composed principally of stock yards men, who manifested wild approval of some of the remarks made by the candi- date.

"READY TO VOTE NOW. l"

The number of people who heard MT. Bryan at Bohemian Turner hall, at Ash land avenue, near Eighteenth street, was only limited by the capacity of the large hall. Probably 5000 people squeezed into the building, and stood in a sweltering mass for two hours before the candidate made his appearance.
 The storm of applause and cheers which greeted MT. Bryan lasted several minutes, and seemed to be joined in by every one in the audience. The candidate appreciated this fact and began his re- marks by saying that the audience seem ed so unanimous that he did not know whether 1t was necessary to talk to them at all; 1t was not worth while to go among those who have already studied the financial question, and if he could judge from what he had seen in the city of Chicago the people were ready to vote now.
 After leaving Bohemian hall MT. Bryan went on foot to Pulaski hall, which is on- ly half a block north. He received loud and boisterous greeting, and it was many minutes before he could be presented.
 The speaker devoted most of his time to the republican platform, stating to his hearers that four years ago the republi- cans declared for bimetallism, and that this years platform asserts that the American people are not independent enough to make laws for themselves, but must wait on the permission of other na- tions He said republicans were justified this year in leaving their party, inasmuch as the party had deserted it's principles and promises. Hsr s
 The speaker concluded with an appeal to his audience to turn out in full force and vote according to their convictions on Tuesday next. -+f, srrt
 He was then escorted to his carriage and driven away, while the crowd cheer ed loudly.

GEORGIA SENATORSHIP.
Governor Atkinson Enters the Fleld-Ed-
 itor Howell Also Announces.

Atlanta, Ga., Oct. 28.-The race for United States senator Is now well on. Governor Atkinson entered the Kimball house lobby this morning while it was crowded with politicians and announced that he was candidate Capt. Evan P. Howell. editor-in-chief of the Constitu- tion; Col. James w. Robinson. Hal T. Lewis and Steve Clay. chairman of the democratic party, have also announced and opened headquarters. Fleming G. DuBignon, W. G. Brantley and Gen. Clement A. Evans are also possible can didates.
 Telegrams to the Constitution from the Third district state that every county will indorse Charles R. Crisp for the unex- pired term in congress of his father. MT. Crisp was closely associated with his fa- ther while the la tter was speaker during both terms. It is probable that he will not have any opposition.

AT NIGHT.

Chicago, Oct. 23.-The vast throng that gathered tonight in and around the man. moth tent in it's new location at Harrison and Loomis streets waited more than an hour beyond the scheduled time for MT. Bryan to appear. It is impossible to give anything like an accurate estimate of the number of those who came expecting to hear him. The tent holds about 5000 peo- pie standing. It was jammed tight with human beings early in the evening, while outside was another dense assemblage that stretched beyond the circle of light. The heat was something remarkable for this time of year, and many people were carried out in a fainting condition. MT. Bryan appeared just before 10 o'clock. an hour and fifteen minutes late, and re- ceived an ovation. He spoke about twen- ty-five minutes.
 Ten thousand people turned out to hear or see MT. Bryan in the Twelfth ward, the banner republican one of Chicago.
 Only $500 of them could squeeze inside the Peoples institute. But the corners of the streets adjoining and vacant lots were packed with men and women, who had to be content with other speakers. The perspiring audience inside patiently awaited the appearance of MT. Bryan. who was an hour late, and when he did come the thousands on the streets and in the building gave vent to their feelings in a great and continued shout The seat ed people rose en masse and waved flags and gave repeated cheers for the nominee.
