drout at the Flag Raising.

The speech Of General Grout in this vii
lage on Saturday evening last, implied
that the republican party had earned it's
right to invite in November next the
suffrage of every man who deems the
honor of this country and its business
interests imperiled. 1t is no time to
attempt experiments. Ifexperience teaches
anything, it is that it is safe procedure
to conform to the practice OF the civilized
world; and that practice is not in SYM
pathy with the present attempt to foist
the silver dollar upon the country as
standard of value. Gold alone is the
standard for the settlement OF interna-
tional balances between most nations,
and that in itself is sufficient proof that
gold possesses the elements that COM
mend it to the world as the metal best
fitted for a medium of exchange. Gen
era Grout quoted Senator Pettigrew
as glorying in the prospect of a fifty-cent
dollar, government enactment to legal
ize reputation. A monstrous PROPOSE
ton, unworthy the American people, to
be rejected with Indignation by all men
who believe in the maintenance Of the in
tegrity OF Obligations public and private.
The General finally believes that the
American people will use their oppor-
tunity at the polls and annihilate this
work of financial Generalization now
sapping the country.

MCKINLEY WON'T TALK.
Correspondents Fail to Draw Him Out on
Finance at This Time.

CINCINNATI, O., March 7.-Ex-Gov-
ernor Mckinley is being subjected to
considerable criticism in Ohio on ac-
count of his declination to define his
views on the financial issues of the dav.
Five newspaper correspondents from
New York have recently been disap-
pointed in travelling all the way to the
ex-governor's home in Canton and failing
to get him to express his views on either
the money question or the tariff.
A few days ago a local paper, sup
Posed to be the Republican organ of
Ohio, telegraphed the various candidates
for the presidency, asking them if they
believed in the coinage of silver. Fac
simiie kilograms of all representatives
were printed and McKinley's answer was
blank Thereupon the newspaper
sharply criticised him for his timidity.
Other journals in the state have taken it
up and many are quoting the ex-gov-
ernor's speech in congress five years ago,
when he, in very impassioned talk, de-
clared that the monetary interests of the
country would always be at unrest until
silver was recognized and coined free
At no time since, with the exception of
a slight reference to the question at a
banquet in Chicago last month on Lin
coins birthday, has he discussed the
financial issues directly or otherwise.
The sound money men who have been
astir in his interests are becoming
alarmed and are urging him to write a
letter defining his views in such language
as to leave no doubt as to where and how
he stands,

MISS ANTHONY HERE.
Susan b. Stops a Short Time at the
Depot to Change Trains

Susan B. Anthony, the aged champion
of woman's rights, passed through To-
peka this morning on her way TO Sa o
Diego California, from which point she
will start on lecture tour over the entire
state in the interest of woman suffrage,
and for the especial object of having
the suffrage plank placed in the platform
of the Republican party in California.
Although Miss Anthony is over seventy
years of age. only in her wrinkled face
and gray, lmost white hair, does she be-
tray her age. Her slender form is erect
and her walk firm and graceful In
speaking Miss AnthOny's voice is full
and strong, and in conversation her face
assumes a pleasant, smiling expression.
ST am on my way to San Diego" said
Miss Anthony to STATE JOURNAL re-
porter, "and from that point will start on
lecture tour throughout California in the
interest of woman suffrage, provided the
Republican party of that state places the
suffrage plank in their platform. We've
every assurance that this will be done,
and I expect to stay IN California until
next fall, At the election in that state
next fall the amendment to strike the
word male" from the constitution will
be submitted to the voters, as it was in
this state two years ago"
should our efforts in that state fail,
however, and the suffrage plank not be
made part of the state platform, then
we will simply put on our bonnets and
go home" said Miss Anthony with a con-
siderable show of spirit.
What is your opinion of the present
outlook for woman suffrage in this
country?" was asked. Il am proud to
say" replied Miss Anthony. shat the
prospects for the adoption of woman
suffrage is at present as bright as
could possibly be hoped for.
Where our principles had one
friend a few years ago, they have now
hundreds. 1t is only a question of time
until the people of the United States as
a whole will realize the amount of good
to be derived from giving woman her
rights, and when that time comes we
will have better laws and less criminals"

KANSAS CITY, March IA special to
the Star from Lawrence says: State
university students caused riot here by
inrercepting juniors going to a class
party. Many fights occurred, students
bruised and store windows broken.
The Juniors gave promenade and 200
under class men and seniors assem- bled
near the hall and stopped every junior
arriving In the many fights which
followed, there were clothes torn,
faces bruised and many times
the police had to be CALLED upon. Two
students were seriously hurt, one of
them being pushed through plate glass
window. Arrests will. probably follow.
The onslaught was in retaliation for a
similar one perpetrased on the seniors
last year.
This afternoon William W. Reno, one
of the students who was hurt in the
scrimmage, decided to- swear out war
rants for the arrest of 20 of the attack
ing students. The action caused a de-
cided sensation.

KANSAS CITY, March While runn-
ing down the incline over the west bluff
shortly after 12 o'clock last night, an
East Ninth street train, grip car No. 1T,
in charge cf Gripman Abner and Con-
ductor Davy, became unmanage able.
The gripmau lost control of the brakes,
and the car shot down the steep incline
Reaching the foot of the trestle, it ran
on with great speed aud smashed
through the west wall of the station
building.
The train was given added impetus by
the weight of a coal car containing ten
tons of coal, which was attached to the
rear. 1t was the last car, and there
were no passengers aboard. The train
went clear through the wall and onto
the L road knocking the bumpers over.
The last regular L road car, loaded with
passengers, was standing on the tracks,
and the runaway train came within few
feet of it, causing several women to faint.
The grip car was badly damaged and the
gripman was bruised, but not badly in
jured.

Not Be Beaten.
The People Are For Him, Says
Foraker.
NO ENEMIES IN OHIO
Despite the Stories That Have
Been Circulated.
Five Correspondents Fail to
Make Mckinley Talk.

NEW YORK, March Tx Governor
Joseph B. Foraker, of Ohio, Samuel 5.
Brice's Republican successor from
that state, is at the Fifth Avenue hotel.
Mr.. Foraker positively and somewhat
Indignantly denied, when questioned on
the subject, that there was the shadow of
a reason for the reports that the enemies
of Ex-Governor Mckinley have been
circulating in the east in their endeavor
to create an impression that part of the
Ohio delegation will be disloyal to Nc
Kinley and will be ready to desert him
when the crisis comes at the st. Louis
convention.
"There will be no political assassins in
the Buckeye deleg gation," said the sena-
tor-elect "The men who will represent
our state in the Republican national con-
ventiou are loyal TO the core to Major
Mckinley. 1t would be next to impos-
sible TO send any other kind of repre-
sentatives. for the people of Ohio are
believers in their candidate, and nobody
against whom a suspicion of infldelity
might rest will be allowed to go as a
delegate to St. Louis.
"We ara thoroughly convinced that
William Mckinley will be our standard
bearer in the coming presidential fight.
The tide has been running his way SO
strongly of late that l believe it will be
impossible to defeat him, care not what
com binations they may attempt TO make
against him. The people are for him.
They are making this manifest every
day.
"Ohio is a unit for him and will cast
solid vote for him from first to last. His
strength is showing itself in every west
ern and southern state. while our advices
from Pennsylvania and New York and
other states of the east are full of en-
couragement If the Republicans of the
nation could cast a direct ballot on the
question of the presidency, there is little
doubt in my Judgment that majority
of our voters would name Mckinley as
their first choice. I feel assured that the
National Convention at St. Louis will re-
spect the sentiment of the masses of the
party and that Mckinley will receive an
enthusiastic nomination. Surely no
other Republican can be regarded SO
complete an exponent of the principles
which the party has inscribed upon its
standards. and upon which we are to win
one of the grandest political victories of
modern times"
