Yhe International Agreement Sham.

The Record Union says the Republic an party as at present controlled is the tree friend of silver, and that it will work fer the acceptance of free coinage by international agreement.

AUTHOR OF TRILBY DEAD.
The Pathetic Close of the Career of
George Du Maurier.

London. Oct. S.-George Du Maurier,
the artist novelist, author of ''Trilby''
died at $3.50 o'clock this morning.
His end was painless and he passed
away surrounded by friends.
The illness of Mr.. Du Maurier was
pathetic in the extreme. For days re
had been lowering between life and
death, at intervals conversing with his
friends regarding his work. Upon
one occasion, friend at the dying
mans bedside referred to the success
of "Trilby' as book and as a play,
whereupon Du Maurier replied:
YES, it has been successful. But
tie popularity has killed me at last"
One of On Maurier's friends who was
present at his death, said:
HE died almost as tragically as
Svengali. At the zenith of Trilby'
fame, Svengali became a victim of an
affection of the heart and Du MaurieT
has gone the same way. At the zenit''
of his popularity the author has sue
cumbed to the heart trouble from
which he always suffered, his suffer
ing being accentuated by the constant
succession of exciting incidents in
which the closing few months Of his
life were spent. Checks rained in up
on him as his old heart trouble increas-
ed. This, complicated by an affection
of the lungs took him off.

GEN. MANDERsoN's VIEWS.
Hew he Says Mr.. Bryan can be De-
feated

Ex-senator Henderson, Of Nebraska,
well known in Washington, in writing
to a friend in this city speaks of the
political situation in the West as fol-
lows:
Il lave just returned from a trip
through the State on a political mis-
sion. This State (Nebraska) is now
looking better for the casting Of its
electoral vote for Mckinley although
we still have very hard fight, but /
believe the chances are in our favor.
TIE East, however, should fully APP
preciate the fact that there is really
but little hope, unless conditions
change, that Mckinley will get a single
vote in any of the States West of the
Missouri.
eff Bryan is to be defeated it must
be by carrying every State East Of the
river and North of Virginia, Ken
lucky and Missouri. I believe that
Mckinley will be elected, and if did
not 1 would be in great distress of
mind over the future of tie country"
