MANY VISITORS AT CANTON
Mckinley Addresses Large Crowds
of Ohio Voters.
MoIxinley Says If Victory Is Theirs
IL Must he Triumphant Enough
60 BE Worthy of
the Cause.

Canton, Oct. 2.-The city was again
full Of visitors yesterday, four special
trains bringing delegations from Port
age county. O., with greetings for the
candidate.
The delegation formed a parade.
marched a short distance, and then met
Mckinley in the tabernacle.
Major Mckinley in his address to the
visitors said in part:
I'VE propose in this contest to pro-
tect the money of the United States from
debasement and by the same vote we
propose to protect American labor from
the competition of cheaper labor OF the
old world. In the great contests OF the
past, both In war and in peace, the re-
publican party has done proud and con-
spicuous service in the cause of liberty,
honor, justice and truth. Let us pre-
serve our splendid example. The issues
of the present campaign, quite as dis
tinctly as any of the great campaigns
of the past, devolVe upon every Ameri-
can citizen a most important
duty. Our contention this year
appeals to the best aspirations
of American citizenship and in
wolves just as certainly as any contest
in the past ever involved the honor and
good faith Of the country. We cannot
close our eyes to the fact that If by u
ballots we lower the credit of the gov
eminent or repudiate its honest obliga-
lions, in whole or in part, or deliberately
depreciate a vast mount OF Its cur
rency, we have aimed a blow at Its
hitherto unsullied name and honor. The
grand old Western Reserve Is full of pa
triotic recollections. 1t is the home or
Giddings, of Wade, of Garfield, and the
home of the most splendid republican
ism. Never has the republican u
more clearly appealed TO the conscience
and intelligence than in this campaign.
The patriotism for which you are so
justly celebrated must not be abated.
The strong, clear voice of your people
which has been heard so distinctly in
perilous times of the past must again
resound throughout the nation in thun-
der tones for truth and justice and hon
or and honesty. Your glorious past APP
peals to you 10 abate no effort because
the tide of public opinion seems so
strongly in your favor.
1t must be a victory mpha
enough to be worthy Of the cause for
which We stand"
A delegation from Springfield, o., ar
rived on a special train of sever coaches
in the afternoon. 1t brought the Heavy
Weight" Mckinley and Hobart club,
other clubs and citizens under the cap
ton, The Clark County Brigade" At
ter a short parade in the business por-
ton of the city the crowd assembled in
the tabernacle, where addresses We're
made by Judge John G. Miller n Ma
jor Mckinley.

FROM MISSOURI.
BarthoIdt Says the Prospects of Car
rying the state Are Good.

Washington, Oct. 2.-Among the let
tiers received at congressional head
quarters by Chairman Babcock yester-
day was one from Congressman Bar
tholdt, who represents one Of the st.
Louis districts. THE outlook in Mis-
souri, generally is most encouraging"
writes Mr.. Bartholdt. II have made two
trips through the state, and the attend
ance at our meetings n the general
interest shown in our cause and the
general enthusiasm displayed every
where, justify the statement that Mis-
souri, will array herself or the side Of
intelligent people and honest money.
Our party is united and our campaign
managed by master hands. The state
ticket is developing phenomenal
strength because of the popularity of
our standard bearer, Robert f. Lewis,
and the number of sound money demo-
Gratis is increasing daily. If we win
great credit will be due to the Germans,
who stand like a stone wall against the
attempted debasement Of our currency
and the furnishing Of our national hon-
or just as they did in Ohio in the 70s
against greenbackiSm.

Artemisa, where Antonio Maceo led Il
arge force Of insurgents against the
Spanish column commanded by General
Aralas.
The Spaniards were taken completely
by surprise. They were aroused from
sleep TO find a host Of insurgent bullets

MS staff, half clad. rushed from their
headquarters and tried to rally the
Spanish troops. who were panic stricken

portion Of the trocha near Artemisa by
glowing up the Notifications with dyna-
mite.

THE DEFICIT GROWS.
IL Is Only the Lack OF Revenue That
Bothers Now.

Washington. Oct. THE monthly
debt statement issued by the treasury
department emphasizes once more the
fact thai a lack Of revenue and not Q
lack of primary money" is responsible

Bradstreet's Review.

New York, Oct. 3.-Bradstreet's Re-
view says:
Cooler weather and continued pur.
chases by interior merchants, notably
west and south, continued the slight i'm
provement In trade recorded in preced-
ing weeks. Merchants at primary cot
ton markets and at large centers in the
spring wheat region report a better
movement of staples, due to unusually
heavy receipts Of those crops. Through
out the central west, including such
points as Baltimore, Cincinnati, Chi
cago and st. Louis, the volume of trade
falls behind that of a year ago in some
instances, but is equal to it in others.
At eastern centers the improvement is
seen In greater ease in the money mar
kets and more disposition to discount
commercial paper, although at un-
changed rates. Wholesale merchants
report a better feeling very generally,
but few anticipate any material in
crease In the volume of business this
month
Mercantile collections continue slow and
as difficult to make as heretofore, except
In the cotton states and at some points in
the northwest. where heavy crop receipts
have enabled interior merchants TO
liqu!date long standing accounts. The
more conspicuous demand at large inter-
Tor cities is for dry goods, clothing, shoes,
hardware, leather and lumber. There IS
also a better demand for pig iron and
steel.
Business in cotton goods has been ad-
vanced by the check in prices, and mill
stocks tend to accumulate again.
Exports Of wheat, four included as
wheat, from both coasts Of the United
States and from Montreal, this week,
amount to APIS, 794 bushels, the largest
weeks exports Of wheat since the second
week of September, 1893. 1t is
with $3.50, 900 bushels last week and 2,613,OOO
bushels In the corresponding week one
year ago.
The total number Of business failures
throughout the United States from Janu-
airy 1 to September 80. 1896, is II, $50, the
largest aggregate reported for a Ike period
since records of this character have been
compiled. The next largest corresponding
total was II 140 for nine months of the
panic year, 1893.
The total business failures throughout
the Dominion of Canada amount to 1,161
for the past nine months, an increase of
Si5,. compared with the corresponding
period last year.
TIL total liabilities amounted TO sls.-
2i9,OOO, AN $9.769,OOO last year.

Probably the swiftest vessel in the
world has recently been built in France
This extraordinary craft is the seaso-
ing torpedo vessel constructed in Havre
by the well known house Of Augustin
Normand, the contract requiring that II
should maintain a speed Of from TWEEN
ty-nine to thirty knots an hour under
usual steam. At it's trial trip, 1t seems,
this vessel, the Forban, ran a distance
Of more than thirty-one knots in an
hour, this being equivalent to about
.hirty-hve miles, probably the greatest
distance ever covered by a seagoing
ship in sixty minutes, powerful engines
being necessary, of course, to drive the
vessel through the water at such a rapid
rate.
