The Mckinley republicans at
Paris have had considerable trou-
BILE arranging for Hey speech
next Monday night. They found
the court house already engaged
and also the Paris band. How they
will manage without these necessi-
ties we know not, but then it will
not matter. Traitors to the silver
cause will have slim audiences any,
where in Bear Lake, and Hepburn
will be no exception to the rule.

"Sewall resign? Why. they don't know the

the world could make him even consider 1t, and
that would be personal request from Bryan
himself on the ground that Sewall was hurting
his chances In populistic States"
Mr.. Sewall had much to say to a correspond
snt about tho "immense fund" the Repubi-
cans had. He declared that tho Republicans
used more money than ever before. Never was
SO little money used in Maine In n Presidential
year: never was SO little needed.

MONEY SCARE IN HAVANA.
RESULT OF WEYLER FORCING Pa
PER ON TIE PEOPLE.

Business Completely Parnlyzed-Bnnker
Close Their Exchange Depnrtments-The 10
Moneyed AHen Are Sending Their Gold and
silver Out of Cuba-weyler's Obstinaey.
HAVANA. Sept. 16.-Owing TO the orders of tho
Spanish Government in relation to the issue OF
paper money. business in Havana is paralyzed.
Tho civil Government requested the Stock Ex-
change to enforce acceptance of this money, but
1t refused to make any transactions.
The money question Is the nll-absorbng
topic. Ever since Gen. weyier issued his decree
ordering the Spanish banks paper money
to be accepted at par with gold It was
foreseen that serious complications would arise,
because not having the Governments proper
guarantee IL could not be accepted as q
circulating medium. The Government Is doing
all In it's power to sustain the value of the paper
threatening with severe penalties those who re-
fuse to accept 1t on the same basis with gold.
The Spanish Bank, with tho assistance OF the
Government. In order to uphold it's paper. an
nounced It's willingness to accept it in pay
mont of drafts on Spain. but when ono of the
local bankers-as a test case-solicited from
the bank a draft on Spain for $4,000. tho
bank refused. on the ground that it could not
furnish bills to bankers who did not admit its
paper in payment of their exchanges.
BY repudiating its own paper the bank has
initiated n crisis in financial circles which has
upset the money market. and many believe will
end in commercial panic.
Many efforts are being made to avert disaster
by inducing Gen. Weyler to allow the quotation
on exchange OF the paper currency, that every
body should know its exact intrinsic value,
but weyler stands firm on his decree.
and does not allow tho least variation OF his
orders. The result is that ever since then the
Stock and Gold Exchange has not done any
business. and all quotations are considered nom
inal.
"On the other hand, all the bankers. in or
der to evade tho penalties Of Weyler's de-
cree by refusing the acceptance OF paper
in payment of drafts. have decided to
close their exchange departments. alleging that
they have no funds abroad to check against
except when gold is offered in paymen,-and
then the draft is furnished.
The Governor Of the Spanish Bank called o
meeting OF all the bankers three days ago to see
how the financial difficulty could be solved. but
no definite agreement was reached and the
situation continues the same.
As a natural consequence the expectation OF
gold and silver is being carried on to a great
extent all the outgoing steamers carrying
considerable quantities OF tho precious
metals to Spain and the United States, this
being attributed to tho great dstrust existing
among the wealthy classes regarding future
prospects

LITTLE Rock, Ark, Sept. 16.-Secretary Of
State Armistead has received ofilcal returns
from seventy-three out OF the sevcnty-fve
counties of the recent election held in this
State The counties that have not forwarded
their ofiicial returns are Scott and Logan.
These counties in 1904 gave Democratic plural
tiles OF 704.
According to the official returns the seventy
three counties give the following vote for Gov
ernor: Jones, Popocrat, sG,o90: Remmeli, Re
publican. 34,l39: Files, Populist, 1898; Mil
Ter, Prohibitionist, 7s1. Jones's majority. 3s,-
345: Joness plurality, 52,451.
In 1904 Clarke, Democrat, received T4.so0;
Remmell, Republican. 26.oS5; Barker, Popu-
list, 24.b41; Miller, Prohibit!onist 1851. In
1902 the vote was: Democratic, DOLLS; Repub-
lican, 1884; Populist, 3l.1lT.
Compared with 1894 the results this year
show that the Popocrats have gained $4,000,
L 900 of which may be accounted for by the
falling of of tho Populist vote. which drops
from "a, 500 In 1894 to 1890 in 1896 The Re-
publicans have gained 1000 over their votes OF
two years ago. The Popocratic plurality in
1896 is $4,000. as against 4s.000 two years ago.
When the vote this year is compared with
that Of four years ago. n Presidential year, q
different story is told. Compared with 1892
the Popocratic vote despite the fact that $4,000
Populist votes went over to the Popocrats. Is
less than the Democratic vote of four years ago
by 1000 The Republican vote this year is in
creased 500 over that four years ago. Tho
Populist vote drops from $1,000 to $4,000.
Tho Democratic plurality four years ago was
sc. 900. This year. with the addition OF from
II, 900 to $4,000 Populist votes, it is only
$1,000.
Tho total vote in 1902 was 154,s7e; in 1906,
134. 900. Analysis shows that about $4,000
gold Democrats and 5000 Populists. making no
allownncea for increase in the vote didn't vote.

The Eneines wosidu't stop when Sh
Was catering Newport Harbor.


NEWPORT, r. l.. Sept 1e.-Unlted States sec-
ond-class battle ship Texas tonight added
another mishap to her career. In compliance
with orders she was coming here for her tor
pedo outfit. She made the harbor shortly after
o'clock. and at abont 8:20 landed upon the
torpedo station, having first gone over toward
the jamestown shore, and then turned and came
across the bay for anchorage.
For some reason the ships engines did not
stop when they should and she kept forging
ahead. Her anchor dropped, but still she
did not atop, and when too late her helm was
thrown over with the hope of clearing the island
and going to sea again. The water shoals
very rapidly here. and when she struck. with
land on her port quarter. she ran her nose
some two feet out of her water and her
stern was crowded under. Drawing some
twenty-three feet of water. with the tide three
hours down, she was embedded hard and fast in
the heavy mud. II was Just about dusk, and
signal rockets were at once sent up. A tug went
to her assistance and pulled tight on the tow
line. but made no impression.
1t was some time after the ship struck before
her engines finally stopped. The tide was still
falling but IL is not believed that her position is
serious. Divers say that the bottom Is quito
free from rocks.
A larger tug was engaged o-night, and about
l o'clock she will go out and make an attempt
to pull her of on the rising tide, which does not
become high until nearly O'Clock. An attem, Ut
was made to board her shortly after
she struck. but the gangway was closed
to all visitors and all Information was
refused. Some believe that 1t will require more
than an ordinary tide and small tugs to haul
her of. This feeling is apparently shared by
Capt Glass and his officers. for their crew seem
to be tightening her forward as much as pos
pibe.
