"Thesc ordeiu represent Just one class of

creative energy representing more than ten
times that amount has been arrested and
paralyzed ever since the nomination OF
Bryan. ana this in our factory alone The
product Of agricultural implement factories

of Council Bluffs which has been arrested
by the fear Of popocrat victory will aggre-

yet be made and sold but the most OF 1t is
like the golden hours that have passed-lost
forever. We are too thoroughly oyerjoyed
at the grand result, however, to lament this
kind OF loss"
There was a most buoyant feeling prevail
ing In all OF the big implement houses
yesterday. Every house had been holding
thousands OF dollars worth OF orders, and
the work OF getting ready to let them 70
Hds Ucen enough 10 make great SUR or
itself. Said one implement man, who has
watched the suddenly renewed activity very
closely md with unconcealed pleasure: Il
believe that there have been more orders
received by Council Bluffs wholesalers by
telegraph within the last twenty-four hours
than have been turned in by the hardest
work OF all OF the men in the last four
weeks. Half of the orders now come by
telegraph. and every one contains some
approving comment upon the great repub-
lcan victory"
The general recovery was noticed in all
other lines, and extended even to the retail
houses One noticeable feature was the

| or buried in the earth And another curious
| fact is that many OF the most timid Of
| these investors were rabid Bryanites."

CONTEST IN KANE TOWNSHIP
Both sides Insist that Fraud Was Per-
petrntcd In the Election.

The Kane township ticket is trying to
keep pace with the doubts that have been
claimed existed over the general result and
II the assertions Of the various candidates
for constable and justice of the peace are
substantiated there may be some changes
from the official canvass of the township
board. The vote on the three justices was
close and there was only twelve difference
between Terrier and Wien. The township
board made canvass Of the vote Wednes-
day and declared Cook Burke and Terrier
elected. Burke is a populst and the only
free silver man elected in Council Bluffs.
Wen now claims that there was a mistake
in the count of the vote in the Second pre-
cinct OF the Second ward. The mistake was
made by the township clerk and from the
returns from that precinct. as published in
The Bee and taken direct from the poll
books, Wen is undoubtedly elected by three
votes. The vote by precincts for Wen and

NEW YORK, Nov General Fitzhugh
Lee accompanied by Thomas Jones, his
private secretary. arrived from Havana late
last night on the Ward line steamer
vigilancia. General Lee said his health had
been excellent from the time he left this
country last June. in spite of reports to
the contrary. He had. been treated with
military courtesy by General Weyler, whom
he described as a gentleman with pleasant
manners, but a strict disciplinarian. General
Lee declined to talk about the Cuban ques-
tiOn. even in general terms.
Captain Mcintosh who is in command
OF the Vigilancia. had only a few words 20
say in reference to the attempt of the Span
ish authorities to arrest Antonio Esclante at
Havana on the outgoing trip OF the steamer
THE chief of police" said he came aboard
when we reached Havana and told me that
he had an anonymous letter from New York
stating that Esclante was on board my
ship and that he was fugitive, inasmuch

WASHINGTON. Nov. 5.-General FitZhugh
Lee reached Washington this afternoon and
is stopping at the Shoreham. AS soon as his
presence became known he was besieged by
friends and by newspaper reporters To
many OF the questions put TO him he main
tanned diplomatic silence, or evaded them
by calling attention to the improperly OF
discussing the affairs OF the island in the
newspapers before reporting them to his
superiors General Lee will remain in Wash
ington possibly for several days and then
will proceed to his home in Virginia. While
he did not say so explicitly II Is evident that
during the time spent here he will call on
the president and acguaint him with the re-
suit OF his observations Of the affairs in
Cuba.
In reply to a direct question he said he
had not been called here by the president
for the discussion OF the situation there.
When asked whether the insurgents or the
Spaniards held the advantage in the war,
General Lee was evasve, saying: First re
ports are heard of success on the one side
and then on the other. The war has been In
progress since February, 1895, and there is
no prospect OF its speedy termination"
The consul general testified to the baneful
effects OF this strife which is now desolatinS
the island. Business" he said, lis par
alyzed and the island is being gradually
ruined. There is a systematic destruction of
the vast sugar estates"
General Lee reterates the statements that
he had made in New York concerning the
fair treatment which had been accorded him
by the officials OF the island and says he has
no cause for complaint.

CASTLES CASE CONES TODAY
Accused Americans viii Be Araigped for
Trial as shoplifters. 17

Conference TO lie Held This Morning
May Decide to Garry the Hear

Copyright 1896. by Press Publishing Company
LONDON, Nov. 5.-(New York World Ca
blegram-Special Telegram.)-Mr and Mrs.
Castle will be arraigncd on a charge Of
shopliftng tomorrow morning at Clerkcn-
we'll sessions. Their case will be decided
by petty jury. consisting chiefly OF shop
keepers, who will not be disposed to take
lenient view of the oTense attributed to
them unless directed to do so by the
Judge. This functionary is Mr.. Mcconnell,
who, since his appointment some months
ago has shown himself very sensible and
fair-mnded judicial officer.
A World representative hears from a legal
gentleman engaged in the suit that the de-
PENDANTS counsel are to have a consulta-
ton before the meeting of the court as to
the advisability Of asking for postpone
ment OF the trial until the next sessions
month hence. IL is not expected the crown
will resist such an application, but The
making of 1t would indicate that the de-
PENDANTS counsel are not so confident as
they were OF getting an acquittal. This, in
fact, is the truth of the matter as The po-
lice are pursuing the case with great per-
tnancy. They assert they have secured
evidence mixing up Mr.. Castle directly with
the charge. 1t should be added that the
action of the police does not seem attrib-
utabe to any consideration OF the defend
ants nationality, or to anything but TO
the usual police ambition to make out the
best possible case against their prisoners
without any special prejudice.
Though the defendants lawyers still be-
leve that Mrs. Castle will be discharged as
non compos mentis and that Mr.. Castle will
be discharged. yet it is evident this antici
patton has been somewhat shaken by some
development in the case on which they de-
cline to speak. 1t is very exceptional that
so strong bar as has been employed to de-
fend Mr.. and Mrs. Castle Is seen in a case
at sessions. In Sir Edward Clarke and Sir
Frank Lockwood they have two of the best
counsel at the English bar.
The condition OF both defendants is most
pitiable a lawyer for the defense told a
World representative; Mrs. Castle is in a
| state of profound depression. varied by at
lacks of hysteria, while Mr.. Castle is ut
terly unstrung and cries like child when
ever he discusses his and his wife's plight.
His deep manly devotion to his wife has
touched every one who has witnessed it, his
whole care being not for himself, but to
| tighten her affection. BALLARD SMITH

The question Of paying the twenty-four

taken.

DISMISSED FOR COOP OF SERVICE.
Treasury Employees DischnrEcd-Somc
of Thcm Smnnortch UrNnn.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 5.-The treasury Of
ficials decline to make public their reasons
for the dismissal yesterday OF Judge Elem
ing. chief of the law and record division
of the supervising architects office; Thomas
T.. Brantley of South Carolina, chief OF the
army and navy pension division in the
office OF the auditor for the Interior depart
ment. and T. Doyle, assistant chief Of the
warrant division. All of them took an
active part in the campaign, in advocating
the election OF Mr.. Bryan, but there is
reason for the belief that this fact alone
was not responsible for their leaving the
service. 1t is stated that the dismissal Of
one or more OF them was under discussion
several months ago for reasons entirely
apart from politics and that the action just
taken was regarded by the secretary as for
the good OF the service. The secretary has
no intention Of removing clerks simply be-
cause of their free silver views or because
they voted for Mr.. Bryan. These are rights
which Mr.. Carlisle fully respects. He in
sists that when the clerks carry their po-
litcal activity to the point of going on
the stump and at the least opportunity iden-
tifying themselves with others who condemn
the admin istration's public acts OF trust II
is cause for removal.
There have been rumors to the effect
that Assistant Secretary OF War Doe was
included in the list for offensive partisan
ship but it is believed his removal is not
contemplated. He confined himself to a
statement of his intention to adhere to the
made public in the press. II contained no
a personal letter to a democratic leader in
Wisconsin. and this letter eventually was
made public in the press. II contained no
reflections upon the administration or its
policy. and even recorded the writer's per
sonal dissent from the Chicago silver plank.
