FREE SILVER SPEECHES.
Col. Herring and Buckley O'Neill at
 the Opera House.

Col. William Herring and Buckley O'Neill addressed fair sized audi. ence at the opera house last night Col. Herring was Republican before the St. Louis convention, but when the gold standard was adopted by the conven- tion he stood by his silver mine.
 The colonel made a very pleasant speech, brilliantly interspersed with humor. He was not antagonistic, but rather appealed to his listeners to stand by silver. Although his speech was directly against the best interests of the territory, he fought it out on party lines and made no personal aI- lusions. He was listened to with the utmost good humor by the audience and was frequently applauded, not for his silver utterances, but for his elo- quence.
 Buckley O'Neill followed and told the audience what he would do if elected to congress.

CLOSE IN NEBRASKA.
Republicans Claim Bryan's State by
 Only 5000.

OMAHA, Oct. 31.-Although the campaign of 1896 in Nebraska will not be formally ended until F o'clock Mon day night, the task of organization and alignment of forces for the final strug gle of Tuesday has been practically completed. It is not expected that many votes will be changed between now and the day of election, and the figures of the managers on iihe result are based on the situation as it is today It is generally recognized as the most exciting campaign in Nebraska's his tory. Republicans claim Nebraska for Mckinley and place 5000 as a con- servaltive minimum vote. They think it will be from that to 15,000. The sil- yer fcrces are equally sanguine, but place Bryan's majority in the state at 3.00O

ARSENIC IN HIS COFFEE.
John Llewelling's Life Saved b,
 Prompt Treatment.

John Llewelllng had narrow escape from death by arsenic poisoning Friday night. He drank cup of coffee at supper and about ten minutes after ward was taken violently ill. Dr. Tut tie was sent for, who saw at once the ailment and applied a stomach pump. The timely arrival of the physician and the fact that he had taken too much of the poison saved his life. He cannot account for the presence of the poison in the coffee, but says that a man who was stopping with him cooked the supper.

CHICAGO, Oct. 31.+Every day has brought some new assurance of gains over the country, and today the Re- publican managers find that Mckinley and Hobart will have votes to spare in the electoral college.
 Chairman Hanna today issued the following statement: T am confident the strength of Mckinley and Hobart in the electoral college as the result of next Tuesdays election will not be less than three hundred and eleven votes This estimate is made upon figures just received from chairmen of state conn miittees. The results of the final polls were taken in such a careful manner as to give them the highest credence. These polls indicate the vote by9tates and will be as follows: Mckinley safe in California, Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Maine Maryland, Massachusetts Michigan, Minnesota, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Nebraska, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island South Dakota, Tennessee, Vermont West Virginia, Wisconsin, Wyoming Total, 311.
 "Bryan-Alabama, Arkansas, Colo, rado, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mis. sissippi, Montana, Nevada, South Caro- lima, Utah, Idaho. Total, 78.
 Three probably safe for Mckinley Kansas, Virginia, Washington. Total 26. Doubtful Missouri, Texas. Total 32."
 The campaign in the middle western states for the most part came to al end tonight In Chicago and Cook county where the heat of the fight ha: been, rounding up for candidates was finished this evening and the las speeches were made. Both partie: claim to be sure of the result and ex presa confidence 4e.ss4 the count oI l Tuesday night will show a large ma jority for their men. The only chang that has been made in the estimates O either party is the assertion of Chair man Jones that Illinois is a doubtful state. He has always claimed it hereto fore as certain for Bryan. Chairman Jones says that MT. Bryan has at leas 252 votes in the electoral college am nothing can take them away iron him. Chairman Hanna is far nor sweeping in his estimates of Majo McKinley's prospects, and says tha the Ohio man will have not less thal 311 votes, and others may come later Both chairmen issued today their las appeals to the people and both sa they have the victory already won, an all that remains is to clinch the matte by the counting of the votes.

NO ACTION WAS TAKEN.
An Erroneous Report of a Meeting of
 the Silver Club.
Phoenix, LAriz., Oct 31, 1906.

THIUe1IA, NA1Il', OCU oII IoVU.
 Editor Republican, Sir: Will you give me space in your paper to cor rect an error made by The Herald in the statement of what occurred at the meeting of the free silver Republican league held on Thursday evening last?
 That meeting was called at the re- quest of some of the members of the league, not for the purpose of giving expression to the preferences of it's members for any ticket, but simply to make arrangements for a future meeting, at which it could be decided what action the league should take in regard to its vote on November 8.
 Let me say that no resolution was introduced to the effect that the mem-
Arizona republican., 1896-11-01


 asked thalt the following be printed
 "On behalf of a majority of the members of the Free Silver Republican s1,rv. 6 enix, we, committee ap-
 such majority, desire to wafn s1lff ! 1lttfsons that such club is be- ing used by its officers to further the personal interests of Mir M. A. Smith, candidate for congress on the Demo- cratic ticket Originally organized to advance the cause of silver, and to keep the Republican party of the county and territory in the silver path heretofore followed by it, it was not organized to advance the interests of any man or set of men, but for the advancement of principle The officers of the club have used every effort to prevent the club from officially recognizing these facts, but on the contrary have used every means to make it a mere per sonal adjunct of M A. Smiths cam paign.
 "On Thursday evening, October 29, at specially called meeting of the club, a majority of the members pres enlt advocated the endorsement of Wm. o. O'Neill as the choice of the club for delegate to congress, believing that M. A. Smith has never been representa- ,, tive free silver man. Taking advan- tage of their official positions, the off, cers of the club refused to recognize the wishes of the majority and ad- | journed the meeting without permit i ting such action to be taken. Every attempt since then to have a second meeting called has been defeated by the refusal of the officers to issue a | call for that purpose.
 "As Republicans and free silver ad- vocates, we know of no reason why the officers of the league should endeavor to use the organization as a piece of political machinery to bolster up the i candidacy of MT. Smith. yet this is what they are endeavoring to do. The club is not Smith organization, al- | though some of it's officers, aG1uated by the subtle power of pecuniary per suasion, are endeavoring to make it appear so. Of the entire membership of llhe league, not five per cent are de- sirous of seeing MT Smith reelected to congress simply because they do not believe he is or ever has been an honest supporter of silver.
 "TYhis statement is made for the fur ther reason that some of the officers of the league are contemplating, or said to be contemplating, issuing what they deem 'an address, stating that the league is in favor of supporting M. A Smith for congress"
 To this statement the names of about fifty members of the league were ap- pended. Messrs. Kirkland and Bick- l nell were emphatic in their declaration that the majority of members of the league were opposed to the plan ot some of the officers to further Smiths l interests. It is probable that many o. the members will vote for Doran.

BUDGET STATEMENT.
terday, By Sir Michael Hicks
Beach.

LONDON, April 16.-In the house of
commons today the chancellor of the
eXchequer, Sir Michael Hicks-Beach,
made the budget statement He said
that the surplus for 1896 was f4,210,-
900, and he estimated the expenditures
for the current year at f100, O47 900.
The chancellor of the exchequer said
that this had been a wonderful year,
and one of unexampled revenue in spite
of the fact that the expenditure had
been the largest since the great war.
The surplus was the largest ever known
and a larger sum was devoted to the
reduction of the nations debt than
ever known. The condition of the
working classes, he continued, judging
from the consumption of tea, tobacco
and sugar, had materially improved,
and it was remarkable fact that
while the decrease in exports and i'm
ports for the first six months amount
ed to e., $751; 900, the increase for the sec
ond half year amounted to f2S.22S, 900
pounds.
Tea, Sir Michael Hicks-Beach fur
Their remarked, was driving coffee out
of the market, and British and Irish
spirits were entirely displacing for
eign spirits.
The increase in the import of tea was
10, 900 pounds from India and Cey-
lon, and replacing foreign spirits.
The increase in the import of tea
was 100000 900 pounds from India and
Ceylon, and replacing much Chinese
tea. The increase in the import of
tobacco was 1OS,OO pounds over the
estimate, chiefly for cigarettes. The
imports of wines had increased 1885,
900; light wines were preferred. Beer
had increased $1,000; the death duties
were e., SS1 900, and stamps f1,629, 600.
Referring to the estimates for the cur
rent year the chancellor of the ex-
chequer said that the expenditures
were placed at 1f10O 047,0O0, and the rev
enue calculated upon was f101, 755, 600.
Touching upon the proposed reduction
in expenses, Sir Michael Hicks-Beach
said that the government proposed to
reduce the maximum land tax from As
on the Fl to Is, which would absorb
f1O0. 900 of the surplus, allot f975,000 to
reducing the rating of farm lands, de-
vote f43S, 900 for the education bill and
f2OO. GOO to slight alteration of the
death duties This, he continued,
would leave a modest surplus for con-
tineencies

REvOLUTIoNIsTs, 1T Is SAID, DE-
sIROUs FOR PEACE.
Zelaya's Terms Up to Date, However,
= Are Simply Unconditional Surren-
der, and the Giving Up of the
Leaders For Trial.

MANAGUA, Nicaragua, April 16.-(via
Galveston).-A telegram has just arrived
here from Nargarote, where President
Zelaya now is, which says a messenger
from the rebels is now on his way to this
city bearing a message from the leaders
of the revolt to the United States min
lister, Lewis Baker. 1t is supposed here
that they want Mr.. Baker to intervene
and arrange peace between the con-
testants.
The only terms Zelaya has I'D to this
time been willing to consider are uncon-
ditional surrender on the part of the
armed forces and the giving up for trial
of the leaders. The progress of events
recently has been steadily against the
rebel cause The government troops have
entered upon their delayed co-opera ton
with their Honduran allies, and for some
days past the two forces by combined
movement have slowly but surely been
surrounding the rebels at Motombo. La
Paz, Chinandega and other points. The
government completed the circle when
they took Ceiba Mocha. Ceiba Mocha was
attacked by the rebels, but they met
repulsion with heavy losses.
General Paiz of the government force
has taken Las Limas from the rebels
several hundred of them being killed
President Zelaya is at Nagarote direct
ing the campaign Of the government
forces.

300 to 26O. In the evening Ives and
GARNER were matched and the former
was an easy winner, the score being
300 to 20S. All of the men put I'D some
good billiards, but a draw shot by
GARNER, fully half a length of the Ia

the most clever witnessed during the
tournament. In the afternoon game
things were dull for several innings

goose eggs after a run of % in the
first inning. In the ninth, by a great
masse play, he redeemed himself and
counted for 35.

eighteenth inning, when he got the
balls going to his liking until his score

kept pegging away at the balls with
wonderful patience, but it was not un-
til his twenty-fourth inning that, he
had third of score. Schaefer's next
big run was in his thirtieth inning,

counted Cor 80. He added 27 in the
thirty-third. DAILY in the thirty-sev-

cue work, making a number of cushion
draws which aroused the spectators
to an enthusiastic pitch. When Jake

should be wiped Off which was done
In the very next shot Schaefer fell
down and retired to his chair with a
look of intense disgust. In the forty

WASHINGTON, April 16.-To give

treaty approved by the senate yester-
day it only remains for the British gov

ton but it cannot be definitely learned
who has been chosen.
