WANTS THEM TO COMBINE.
"COIN" HARVEY'S PLAN TO
ELECT A SILVER CANDIDATE.
Distribution of Cabinet Offices Be-
tween POpulists, Democrats
and Silver Republicans.

ASHLAND (Wis.), June 2S.-"Coin"
Harvey in an interview here yesterday
said: Il am trying to combine the DEM
ocrats, silver Republicans and Popu-
lists, and have suggested the following
plan to the leaders of the parties: For
President on the Democratic ticket
Silver-Dollar' Bland of Missouri. If
elected give him the appointment of
one Cabinet officer only, Secretary of
State Let the Democrats indorse the
Populst nominee for Vice-President on
the Populist ticket, Senator Marion
Butler of North Carolina. Let the Pop
ulists indorse the Democratic nominee
for President. Let Mr.. Butler, if elect
ed dictate the appointment of Secre-
tary of the Interior, Secretary of Agri-
culture, Secretary of War, and Secre-
tary of the Navy. Concede to the sill
yer Republicans three Cabinet posi-
tions-Senator Teller of Colorado, Sec
retary of the Treasury; Judge Caldwell
of the United States Circuit Court, At
torney-General and Mayor Pingree of
Detroit, Postmaster-General.
1.-The silver cause is desperate, and
we cannot beat Mckinley without we
combine as I have indicated. 1 have
suggested the plan to Altgeld, Bland
and other leaders, but it has not been
made public yet I tell the Democrats
not to make their platform too Dem
ocratic They cannot win as Demo-
Gratis but as a combined Democracy,
Populist and Silver Republican. I am
in favor of Bland for President be-
cause his name is a platform in itself,
just as McKinley's name is a whole
platform.
'The intention of our forefathers in
establishing our electoral system was
that the electors should be elected as
they are now, and that they should
then meet, and after discussion vote
for who they wished There is no law
compelling an elector to vote for any
man. 1t is simply custom. Now,
want to tell you that If the Democrats,
Populists and free silver Republicans
do not get together as 1 have indicated
they will ultimately combine in the
Electoral College"

AUGUSTA (Ga.), June 2S.-One man
dead and two dying at the City Hos
pital, with several others injured, is
the result of a fire which destroyed Mil
Ter & Co.'S big mill on Twigg street
this morning. The loss by the fire is
probably $4,000 and the insurance
$4,000.
When discovered at :45 a. m the
mill was on fire in the third story of
the main building, an iron covered
structure with wooden framework. The
flames spread from the big iron-cov-
cred mill to the smaller brick ware
houses with great rapidity. Being COW
cred entirely with heavy corrugated
iron, the flames for a long time were
confined to the building itself. The cas-
ualties are: Dead-Aaron Morton (col-
o;'ed). driver for Superintendent of the
Fire Alarms Injured-Mike Riley, hook
and ladder truck, cannot recover; Gabe
Walters (coloreD, badly mangled; -
Fredericks, legs broken, internal in
juries, cannot recover; Bob Weakly,
engineer Company No. 2, left leg broken
and head cut; Henry J. Cate, ladderman
on hook and ladder, cut about the
head; Ben Pueffiro, chemical engineer,
cut about the head.
1t was an hour and quarter after the
first alarm before the tragedy occurred.
The brick warehouse had a gable end
to it, and while attempting to put a
stream through a hole made in the
gable the brick wall fell
A fireman had been on a short ladder
and knocked out some of the brick. A
long ladder was needed to put a stream
up and Aaron Morton and several fire
men went to the truck and got a thirty
foot ladder. AS they placed it to the
wall Ladderman Riley and Morton had
hold of it. AS soon as it touched the
side of the wall the wall was seen to
sway and then came tumbling down.
The two men at the ladder could not
get out osthe way and were buried be-
meath the red-hot brick. Others were
cvertaken by the falling missiles. Be
sides the ffremen, there were few people
al this location.
Lieutenant Gartledge of the police
force and Wallace Wheeler of the
Chronicle" were near the foot of the
ladder and only had time to jump back
as the wall crashed down. The fire is
of unknown origin.

THE COMMODORE RETURNS.
Her Captain Tells How the Mclean
Fired on Him.

CHARLESTON (S. CO, June 2S.-The
Commodore steamed up the harbor this
afternoon at 2:30 o'clock. Captain
Morton says: When the Commodore
arrived in Tampa her papers We're ex-
amined and found to be all right Then
she was searched for arms and of course
none were found. For two days we lay
in the harbor and on Thursday we set
sail with no cargo and with the proper
clearance papers for Charleston. Be
fore we left the harbor we were lying
very near to the revenue cutter Mclean
and If the officers of that vessel wished
to examine the Commodore and its
papers every opportunity was afforded
them.
we steamed from the harbor very
slowly, for the machines We're not in the
best Of working order When we were
two miles out l heard the report of a
gun and saw the Mclean behind US.
Bang went another and l ordered the
engines stopped and we waited the ar
rival of the pursuer. Bang went the
third and this time a solid shot whistIed
by us, falling not forty feet from the
vessel. The wind from the shot as it
passed over was felt on the face of every
man on deck 1t it had struck us the
Commodore would have been sunk.
The Captain of the vessel came
aboard and L asked what this outrage
meant. His reply was that he wanted
the vessel to stop and wanted to exam
inc its papers. He asked if we carried
passenger list and l told him no. He
examined my papers, went through the
vessel and found everything correct
He then left us and we continued on to
Charleston on a peaceful voyage
Captain Morton said he would prob
ably leave for New York in a few days
and that the Commodore would remain
in, ha bar r+hO

SHOT AN OFFICER.
The nurderer is Closely Pursued and
Kills Himself.

COLORADO SPRINGS (Col), June
2S.-Police officer Frank Bish was shot
and almost instantly killed at 1890
tonight by Pat Kinney, a driver for a
local transfer company. Kinney was so
closely pursued that he turned his gun
upon himself and blew hole through
his head, dying instantly. Kinney and
a partner named Edwards were caught
acting in a suspicious manner in the
rear of the Daily Gazette" building
and were ordered to halt by officer Bish.
Kinney drew his gun and shot the officer
through the body.
A short time ago Police Officer Agard
was attacked and seriously injured by
two men who succeeded in escaping.
Developments tonight point to the fact
that Kinney and Edwards were Agard's
assailants Edwards was arrested while
escaping from the alley.

ROOSEVELT ABUSES FARMERS.

Calls Them the "Basest Set in the Land
and Gives His Reasons - CharacteriZes
Those Who Sominated Altgeld for Gov
ernor as Murderers, Horse Thieves and
Even Worse Criminals.
New York Journal
One of the most enthusiastic down
town sound money meetings was held
yesterday in the Wool Exchange, at
West Broadway and Beach street The
following report of the meeting was
sent out by the United Press Local:
Among the speakers were Police
Commissioner Roosevelt, General Hor-
ace Porter and Congressman Frank
lin Bartlett.
When Mr.. Roosevelt was introduced
there was a good deal of cheering. He
said:
Mr.. Bryan and his adherents have
appealed to the basest set in the land,
the farmers. If they are not so, then
why do they believe he can make 81
out of 30 cents? He tells them 1t can
he brought about by free royalty-the
right to burn and plumber without the
interference of the police. But this
man back of Bryan. Governor Altgeld,
of Illinois. is far more dangerous than
the boy who is anxious to precipitate
another civil war.
"Altgeld typifes the danger that
walks in the night. He talks much
breaches reputation. but takes every
penny from his employees
Before closing with a second appeal
TO his hearers for a display of patriot
ism on Tuesday next, the Commission
er INDUCED in a repetition of a recent
statement to the effect that the dele
gates to the convention which nomi-
mated Governor Altgeld was made up
of murderers, horse thieves, burglars,
libertines. crooks of all kinds, men who
had been convicted of cromes ranging
from pocket picking to arson, and
from mayhem TO rape.
Tomorrow the speakers will prob
ably be Col. Ingersoll, Benjamin f.
Tracy and Timothy L. Woodruff, can
didate for Lieutenant Governor.

SHE TOOK POISON.
i'uz-?hospho Would Have Cured Her.

1t would be surprising to the critical
observer to have read his newspaper, and
not find in its columns an account OF one
or more suicides. The number of women
who are resorting to self destruction IS
alarningly on the increase. We can
usually account for the suicide of a man,
and find the cause TO lie in a lack of sue
cess in life from a business standpoint.
Women are driven to desperation be
cause they are failures as maidenS, rail-
ures as wives, failures as mothers. De
velope the mental faculties TO as great
degree of perfection as you will, let her
be sufficiently accomplished to meet all
the requirements of every degree Of So
cietv. and notwithstanding her ability as
based upon her mental development to
become a bright and attractive star III
the armament of the highest social set,
unless she is standing upon the rock of
perfect physical condition she becomes a
pitiable failure. There is a degree of
conventionallity about the votaries Of
present day society, which precludes that
natural confidence one girl owes to
another, that a daughter owes to a
mother Natures demands unheeded in
an attempt at higher civilization, and
the woman goes on through life suffering
all the tortures attendant upon a de.
ranged organism, and she cannot be
blamed for refusing to submit to the alb
horent examinations and local treatment
insisted upon by the general practitioner.
Science has now, however, come to the
rescue of womankind, by placing within
her reach the result of its researches,
NUx-PHosPHO. You need no longer be-
come old in action before your time, as
a result of organic disorders, irregular
menstruation, pain in the back and sides,
womb troubles, luchorrhea, flashes OF
heat, aching bones, creeping rigors, irri-
liability, furred tongue, foul breath, irreg
ular appetite, sluggish feelings, constiPa-
ton, dizziness and a complete lack OF
energy. Nux-Phospho can be found i'll
the medicine chests of Expresses,
Queens and Processes. 1t has cured
thousands. It will cure you, make YOU
bright, contented and happy. Will
wipe ont forever from your careworn
features that worried and prematurely
aged expression, make you successful
wife and happy mother.
Nux-PhOspho is sold throughout the
civilized world by all dealers.

WHOLESALE FRAUDS
Discovered to Have Been Perpetrated in

No,,-

Discovered to Have Been Perpetrated in
tho Matter of Issuing Citizenship Papers
in New York.
New York, October Wholesale
frauds have been discovered in citizen
ship papers which have been recently
issued bearing a counterfeit seal and
signature of the Superior Court and
Thomas BOese, its chief clerk The
fraud was discovered this morning in
the county clerks Office, whittier E. p.
Cring!e, clerk in the street cleaning
department, went to investigate a cit
iZenship paper presented TO him by
Giuseppi COlicciO as evidence of one Of
the proper REQUESTS for employment in
the street cleaning department. What
attracted Mr.. Cringle's attention was
the signature. 1t was not the Old famil-
lar, elongated signature of BOese, a
signature known almost the length and
breadth of this continent, but instead a
full round business hand.
TOLD IT ALL.
The registry lists were examined by
Mr.. Scully. but no such name as CONcciO
could be found. Giuseppi COliccio was
found to have registered and voted in
the Sixteenth election district of the
Th-rty-third Assembly district last year
from 405 East One Hundred and Twelfth
street. which is the same address as that
given by the Italian who applied TO
Cringle this morning. COlicciO seemed
very much disturbed and broke down
and confessed the facts concerning his
acquisition of the document. He said
that he had bought the paper from an
other Italian for $40. When asked
where this latter person could be found
he said he had returned to Italy, and
that he knew of many other Italians
who had paid various prices for their
papers and had voted upon them un-
questioned
PAPERS WERE FORGED.
Mr.. Cringle reported the facts to
Clerk Boese, who, since the consolida-
ton of the county courts, has been made
clerk Of the Bureau of Registration.
An investigation showed that several
years ago a big bunch of blank citizens
papers had been lost while in transit to
the court from the printers. 1t is sup
posed that the forged papers were made
out on some of these blanks, which are
all printed on peculiar paper known as
bond paper"
The news that some thousands of these
bogus papers might be afoat was sent
to police headquarters in order that the
police might keep on the lookout. Col
iccio will be kept under surveillance I'M
Ill the matter can be investigated
further.

IN THE THEATRES.

It is not often in these degenerate days
that we find a company of any magnitude
presenting an opera or operate comedy
which contains more than one or two
artists Of Importance. It has become
the custom for stars TO surround them
selves with inferior support, for two rea-
sons: firstly because there is money
saved. and, secondly, because the all
important star will run no risk of having
his or her refulgence dimmed by an uneX-
pectedly clever performer of a minor role.
The company presenting Harry and Ed
ward Paultons delightful operate come
dy, "Dorcas,' Is notable for several rea-
sons. There is no star but every member
of the cast is an artist of individual eX-
cellence whose name is almost as well
known here as in New York. Having
made this statement. the management of
"Dorcas" endeavor to demonstrate its
truth by announcing the cast in advance.
Jolly Nellie McHenry, in her latest
operate comedy success. "A Night in New
York. by II. Grafton Donnelly. is the at
traction at the Opera House. 1t would be
extremely difficult to bring to mind a
more jolly little lady on the stage than
Nellie McHenry. who has held a warm
place in the affections of the amusement
loving public so long. Her jolliication is
boundless. Miss McHenry belongs TO
school of merry-makers which strictly for
bids the condescension Of vulgar or coarse
methods Whatever she undertakes she
does with proper regard for the most rigid
propriety for her audience. It is most
commendabe of her to recognize spirit
Of refinement. even in a gathering of mod
ern farce comedy admirers. and no wonder
she attracts the class of people so desir-
able from a box office point of considera-
ton. MissMcHenry has strengthened her
company. Offering many opportunities for
