PROVIDENCE ON HIS SIDE.
Why Col. Ike Hill Thinks That Bryal

Col. Ike Hill. that genial Ohio politician,

SON." he said, in that persuasive voice
of his to a Star reporter, las certain as
sun shines occasionally Bryan is going to
be elected Nothing can stop him. Do you
know I don't give a dern for reports to
committees? Two-thirds of my belief as
to Bryan's election comes from the fact
that / am sure providence is on his side.
Just look at other speakers in this cam
paign. There is Stevenson toppling over
after a few speeches; Porter in New York
doing the same, and a lot of others. Bryan
has made hundreds of speeches, and is as
fresh today daisy. Providence is GER
tainly with him when he can do this No
human being could endure 1t without some
thing other than physical holding him up"
Col. Hill has been negotiating with sew
eral of the republican managers for some
bets on certain states. He already has a
good deal of money on the general result,
bet at long odds, on Bryan.

LONDON, October 30-The correspondent
of the London Times at Berlin furnishes
his newspaper with an important state
ment regarding the finances of Russia. He
says:
II hear from st. Petersburg that the czar
has decided to postpone the currency re-
form which it was proposed to submit to
the state council this autumn. This pro-
posed reform of the Russian currency,
briefly, was to be an Introduction of a new
gold coinage to correspond exactly with
the present value of the silver and the pa

fering to purchase bullion and foreign gold.
Some twenty tons of new coined silver are
arriving every fortnight from France, and
the new copper coinage is being struck at
the mint In Birmingham. All Russian Off
ciels are now paid partly in gold and silver
and the public is compelled to accept metal
to which 1t has not hitherto been used.
The proposed coinage has been called de-
valuation and depreciation of currency by
Its opponents. and the most disastrous>co
sequences are foretold, including the prob
able effiux of gold.''

REMOVALS NOTLIKELY
No Turning Out of officials Immediately
After Election.
Even Those Actively Opposed to the
Administration Not to Be Dis
turbed for That.

It Is impossible to obtain official informa-
tion on the subject of the report that As
sistant Secretary Doe of the War Depart
ment, Deputy Commissioner Bell of the pen
sion bureau, Gen. Crittenden, United States
consul general at Mexico, and Auditor
Baldwin of the Treasury Department are
booked for dismissal Immediately after the
election next Tuesday because of the anti
administration stand they have taken on
the political issue. AS is well known, the
four gentlemen named are exercising their
time and talents toward the success of the
free silver ticket. Messrs. Bell and Bald
win have been active on the stump, and
Gen. Doe and Mr.. Crittenden have been
prominent in other ways in their support
OF the Bryan movement. In his letter an
nouncing his purpose of supporting the
chicago ticket Gen. Doe used language
with regard to democrats who had bolted
the ticket which his critics say was meant
TO apply directly to President Cleveland
and Secretary Lamont. Gen. Doe said in
ms letter: Il am not in favor of attempt
ing TO correct mistakes or misbehaviof
among our forces by going over to the
enemy or firing into our own people from
the rear"
Although no one in authority will discuss
the matter for publication, there is good
ground for the assertion that none of the
gentlemen named will be disturbed on ac-
count of their participation in the political
campaign regardless of the fact that each
OF them has strongly antagonized the stand
assumed by the President and the leading
members of the administration in favor of
sound. stable and honest currency
Only few days ago Attorney General
harmon, speaking presumably with the ap-
prevail of the President, announced to the
putllc, through the columns of The Star,
that all federal officials were perfectly
free in the exercise of their political rights,
and were privileged to make political
speeches, either for or against the finan-
clal policy of the administration, provided
they did not neglect duties of their Of
fees and confined themselves within the
proper limits of decorum.
Although some people think it in ques-
tionable taste for officials who are opposed
to the policy of the administration to re-
main in office, it Is not regarded as at all
likely that any of the gentlemen named
will be removed simply because of their
political status. AS one official expressed
it to Star reporter today: The Pres-
dent is not going to crafty the Bryan Of
hcials seeking removal in order that they
may pose as political martyrs

VOluminOus HepOrt of the Investigate
ing Commission Received.
The State Department has just received
the final report Of the commission appoint
ed to Investigate the Kucheng riots in
China last spring, and to secure the pun
ishment of the perpetrators of the out
RACES on American missionaries. The re-
port is very voluminous document, fully
illustrated by photographs showing the
ruins of the destroyed property, the trans
port of the convicted criminals to the place
Of execution in bamboo cages, the actual
beheading, with startling exactness, and
the display of the heads of the executed
Chinese from trees near the place of their
crime, as a warning to the inhabitants
against further assaults upon foreigners
While the report is of value as a faithful
reflex of the conditions leading up to the
missionary outbreaks, ii has already been
anticipated by the department, and Secre-
tary Olney has. by instructions to United
States representatives in China laid down
the doctrine practiced successfully in the
case of the punishment of the Kucheng
rioters, that hereafter they are to insist
upon holding to account and personal re-
sponsibility for outrages upon Americans
the local Chinese officials.

CARDINAL HOHENLOHE DEAD.
The Eminent German Churchman
Passes Away in Rome,

The Eminent German Churchman
PASSES Away In Rome.
ROME, October 3O.-Cardinal Gustav
Adolf von Hohenlohe-Schillingsfu broth
er Of the chancellor OF the German empire
and archpriest of the librarian basilica,
died here today of apoplexy.
Cardinal HohenloEe was born in Germany
on February 26. 1925, and studied at the
universities of Bonn, BreSlau and Munich.
In 1916 he went to Rome, entered the
ecclesiss stical academy and was consecrat-
ed a priest by Pope Plus IN. He became
successfully secret chamberlain, almoner
and bishop, and in 1866 he was created
cardinal. After the entry OF the Italian
troops into Rome. in 1870, he went to Ger
many and stayed there for several years.
In 1872 ii was proposed to appoint him am
bassador of the German empire at the Vat
lean, but Plus TX refused his assent to the
project, and Prince Won HOhenlohe re-
sumed his functions CT cardinal at Rome in
1876. In 1879 he was promoted to be car
dinal bishop of Albano, but as the result
of dissensions III the papal court Prince
Hohenlohe resigned his title of cardinal
bishop and again returned to Germany,
where he settled upon his estates. In 1884.
however, he once more returned to Rome
and resumed the rank Of cardinal priest.

THE VENEZUELAN DISPUTE.
1nttmattOn From London Of n TT
bunal of Arbitration

IntfmatiOn From London Of n Trf-
bunal of Arbitration.
The London Chronicle says that there is
reason to Sbelieve that a solution of the
Venezuelan dispute will be found in the
appointment of a tribunal similar to the
Bering sea tribunal Of arbitration, In which
case Sir Richard Webster, attorney general.
will represent Great Britain, as he did be-
fore the Boring sea tribunal.
Close inquiry here into the intimation
from London that Sir Richard Webster has
been selected as a member Of a commission
to arbitrate the Venezuelan boundary aues-
ton fails to develop official confirma-
tion of the statement. While the negotia-
ttons are progressing, they cannot, SO far
as learned, have yet reached the stage
where they relate to the personnel of an
arbitration commission, but are still de-
voted to a discussion of the limitations to
be imposed upon any commission to be
created. From the high reputation of Sir
Richard Webster his selection is not re-
garded as improbable when the negotia-
tions reach the proper phase, but it is
said here that the present nomination was
not made from source in political SYM
pathy with the present British cabinet.
LONDON. October 3O.-A high official of
the foreign office referring to the state
that there is good reason to believe that a
tribunal, similar to the Bering sea COM
mission, will be appointed to adjust the
Venezuelan boundary affair, said this af-
ternoon that he had no knowledge of the
appointment Of such a tribunal When ask
ed If such a tribur al should he appointed
would all the territory claimed by Venez-
uela be included in the arbitration, he re-
piled:
"That is the essence of the whole mat
ter. Venezuela only claimed all along the
territory to the bark Of the Esouibo Ev-
cry one knows that a portion was settled
by the Dutch; and Venezuela throughout
has been so stubborn in the matter that II
has been impossible to arrive at any con-
clusion. If the entire disputed territory
wss submitted to arbitration it might int
volve giving up the greater part of the
colony. However, the matter is now under

Mr.. Wellington Predicts McIxinley's
Success in Maryland by 25,oOO.

BALTIMORE, Md. October Ex-senator
elect Wellington, when asked about the
outlook in Maryland this morning, said:
Il can only reiterate my statement that

mains IL the work on election day. The

In addition to the majority of 1900 for
sound money which our poll Of Baltimore
indicates. we have just received advices
from the counties which show that Nc
Kinley will carry the state outside of the

In speaking Of the effect Of the city coun-
ell fight as a factor, he said: Some time
