CLEVELAND LABOR TROUBLES.
Republicans Apprehensive Of Their
Eject on the Voting.


Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
CLEVELAND. Ohio. August 8.-Chair-
man M. A. Hanna of the republican ma
tional committee was at his Office carly
this morning. and was soon hard at work
on his accumulated correspondence. 1t is
expected that a number of prominent re-
publcans will come to consult with the
chairman this afternoon preliminary to
his departure for the east. In speaking of
his eastern trip. Mr.. Hanna said: THE
condition of affairs in New York is hope
full. as it is in other parts of the east.
There Is no factional disturbances there.
We are moving along on solid republican
lines and working in harmony for the in
terests OF the party. l saw nothing in
New York but what was exceedingly en-
couraging. The campaign there will be
Just as sharp as it is in the west. We will
neglect no part Of the country
While MIR. Hanna appears pleased with his
eastern trip there are republicans here who
thlrk that grave problems have presented
themselves in the chairman's absence in
the line OF labor disturbances. The pres
ent strike and lockout at the Brown hoist
ing works and the threatened increase, of
IoLble mere through the sympathetic ac-
ton OF the labor unions in Cleveland have
no. only been the subject of the closest
investigation and study by the republican
campaign leaders. but are still regarded
as the greatest danger that threatens the
republican organization in the county to-
day Before Mr.. Hanna left for New York
he was besought to exert all his influence
with the Browns, who have always been
closely allied with him in the ore and yes-
sci business. In order to bring about some
sort OF settlement with their employees.
1T was then proclaimed before Mr. Hanna
started for the east that the Brown strike
had been settled through his personal sseod
orces But what the republican leaders
thouSht was settlement proved be
anything but a settlement.

Mansheid farm on a speech he Is to de-

something more than this. He is to be

HE FEIGNED INSANITY.
Escape From an Asylum of n Mur
derer.

ElscHVe FrOM an Asylum OF a MUIR
derer.
ELIZABETH, n. J., August S.-Frank
Freehill, the tramp, who about a year ago
shot and killed Special Officer Jewell, in
Railway, while he was trying to arrest him,
has escaped from the Morris Plains insane
asylum. where he was confined.
Several weeks ago FreehiIl began to act
strangely in the states prison at Tren-
ton. to which he had been sent under
conviction of murder In the second DE-
gree, and the physicians pronounced hinf
insane.
1t is now alleged that Freehil cleverly
feigned insanity. expecting that, under the
less stringent rules of the asylum, his
chance Of escaping would be greater than
they were at the state prison.

BONA-FIDE CIRCULATION.

A reference to the statement be-
low will show that the circulation
sworn to is a bona fide one.
It is easily possible for a news
paper with an elastic conscience to
swell its legitimate circulation enor-
mously. tn order to deceive adver-
ttsers, by sending out thousands OF
papers to newsstands. which are re-
turnable, and which are in fact re-
turned. but nevertheless are in
cluded In what purports to be an
honest statement of circulation.
Intelligent advertisers, however,
judge by results. and bogus circula-
tions don't give them.
The family circulation of The Star is
many thousands in excess of any
other Washington paper. and II be-
lieved to be fully five times that Of
our afternoon contemporary.

GENERAL MARKET REPORTS
Special Dtspatch to The Evening Star.

| Special Dispatch to The Evening Star
NEW YORK. August s.-The opening OF
the stock market was characterized by the
dominating spirit that has been so much
In evidence for some time. and the initial
quotations were made from l-s to l-2
per cent lower than the closing figures yes
terday.
The London quotations for our securities
came lowe, and this tendency did not ben
eft very much the already feverish condi-
ton of the local situation. There was,
however, very little pressure to sell. and
on the report OF favorable bank state
ment the shorts covered to an extent Of a
point or lower.
The rally was Of very short duration and
the market was very soon again in Its ir-
| regular state. with a continuation of the
| hammering at prices. This continuation of
lower prices was again very apparent In
Manhattan and ST. Paul the former reach
ing I6ra after a slight rally from the open
ing and the latter going low as COL.
This very low range of prices was contiu-
ued up TO the close OF the market, which
closed in an irregular and unsettled con-
dition.
The week just ending has been one of ex-
citement I'm all financial circles. and the
closing prices for nearly all the listed
speculative stocks are as low and in some
Instances lower than those quoted during
the currency panic of 1893 and the ven-
ezuelan panic of last year. There has been
no small degree of intense nervousness sp-
parent on the board. which. in most part
was due to the higher range OF rates for
call money. While 1t is undoubtedly true
tEat the chief stimulus to low prices was
due to bear raids. IL must also be admitted
that there was enormous liquidation as
well.
Inc bank statement indicates that large
amounts of money have been shipped to the
interior The decrease In loans is unim-
portant for the first time in several weeks,
ana contradicts current reports that the
banks are curtailing their accommodations
Ana In view of the extensive liquidation
this week would say that the decrease in
loans was very small and probably entirely
voluntary. The statement is not a had
one, and shows. in brief. that the banks

side by side. One of them swapped his
place with John c. Sheppard, and that
placed Sheppard between them. They
did not deign to speak 10 each other; but
occasionally carried on certain conversa-
tions relating to the convention through
Sheppard. During the early days of the
convention, George studied to mortify
Ben, and how well he succeeded is mat
ter of general information. At that time
it looked as if reconciliation was impossi-
BILE; but, according to The Advertiser it
finally came. A few days before the
convention adjourned, the two brothers
were seen in earnest conversation, and
afterward, one was occasionally observed
to have his arm around the others neck.
How they came to fall out originally is
not matter of public property, neither
is it generally known how the reconcilia-
ton was effected but all that is neither
here nor there. Such an unnatural quar-
rel could not give pleasure even to the
worst enemy of either, and the friends OF
both will rejoice that the feud is at an end.
