GREETING 70 M.kInLEY.

Returning Delegations Call ON the HepuD-
lican Nominee ut HIS Home-Congratui.-
tIons
CANTON, O., June 2o.-Gov. Mckinley
made two more addresses at ms Can
ton home last night
During the day the news spread rap
idly that the New York Mckinley
league would stop at Canton on It's
way home from St. Louis, and that the
special convention party from Canton
would come home in the evening. 1t
was shortly after six o'clock, just be-
fore the governors dinner hour, when
shrieking whistles of locomotives her
aided the approach of the New York
ers and returning Cantonans, as well
as a special train load of 500 people
from the Mahoning valley, where Gov.
Mckinley spent his boyhood days.
An escort committee, with bands and
drum corps, including SO horsemen-
met the delegations at the station
The streets were densely crowded for
blocks in every direction leading to
the governors home. The crowds
rushed through the fences and crowd
ed into the doorway of the house in
their excitement. 1t was necessary
for the governor to go to the side door
to meet his returning fellow-cltizens,
as it was impossible for him to reach
ing. Congressman B. W. Taylor, OF
the Eighteenth, the old Mckinley dis.
trict, mounted box when Gov. Nc
Kinley appeared. and made a congrat-
ulatory speech on his nomination for
the presidency.
Warner Miller, in his turn, congrat-
ulated the repu blican nominee.
Gov. Mckinley's appearance was the
signal for great ovation. When COM
parative silence had been restored, Mr..
Mckinley responded as follows:
My fellow-citizens of New York, it gives
great pleasure to meet and greet you
here at my home o-day It was most gracious
on your part to have paused on your journey to
the east long enough to give me the
pleasure of meeting you face to face. And
nothing could have been more agreeable
than to be presented to the members
of the Mckinley league of the state of New
York by my old friend dong member of the
house of representatives at Washington),
Senator Miller, was glad to meet and to greet
him. All we have to do this year, my fellow
citizens, is to keep close to the people Hark-
to the voice of the people; have faith in
the people. and if do that the people will
win for a triumph for that great masterful
principle. which, in all the years of the past,
has given us plenty and prosperity.

SwINDlERS CAUGHT.

Three Men In Jail at Springfield, MO,
Charged with = Very Smooth Confidence
Came
KANSAS CITY, Mo-, June ea-Deputy
Marshall b. J. Pearman, of Neosho,
Mo-. was in the city yesterday and re-
ported to Marshal Shelby the details
of three arrests he made last week at
Neosho that unravel one of the most
brazen and skillful swindling schemes
attempted in the west for years. j.
K. Bell, alias James F. Swartz; NJ. A.
Maginniss and Thomas Robbins are in
Jail at Springfield under bonds for S.
600 each, charged with being the oper-
ators in the scheme, and their entire
orrespondence and outfit are in the
hands of the officers 1t is one of the
best catches made in the state dur
ing the year. and concludes a hunt
the government has been making
for three years all over the country.
Bell, or Swartz, claimed to be an or
ganizer for the "A. X NJ N" which
he inter preted to interested persons to
mean the Ancient Knights Mystic
Numbers. He carried a commission
filed with sym bols and characters and
bearing the signature of W.Q Gresham,
secretary of state. and dated August
B. 1894. He passed himself off as the
official secret service man from the
treasury department for the dlStr1 bu-
ton of campaign funds, and told a
marvelously clever story of the
organizat ton of the mystic numbers )"
The words, he said, referred to the
mum bers of the greenbacks that were
presented for redemption by the gov
eminent and were retired. He claimed
that instead of destroying them they
We're stored in the treasury vaults and
he was authorized to expend them for
campaign purposes Only members of
the organization could receive them.
The initiation fee was $3.50 and a MEM
Der received S., 900 in the retired bills
for campaign purposes if he chose tc
make that use of the money.
One of his accomplices is known
here. NJ. A. Maginniss, who is with
him in Jail, was formerly a reporter on
a paper here, SO he claims, and operated
some in real esta te- He was editor of
the Newton County Democrat for a
time and took an active part in poll
tics. Thomas Robbins is populist and
we'll known in Newton county. Their
correspondence and papers, which
are in the hands of the marshal, in
clude more than 100 mortgages. some
of which are known to be forged deeds
to thousands OF acres of land in Texas
and Tennessee, and city property in
Kansas City. Hutchinson, Memphis and
Washington.

SCOOPED.
BIZ ELSIE ROBINSON.
IcoPYR1GHr. 1861


IT was high noon in the Rockies The
bright, scorching rays of the western
sun stole over the ragged edge of the
Occur d'Alene range, down into the mar
row valley below, where they lighted
on the head of a solitary traveller, tired
and dust-worn from his long journey
since daybreak. Bob Long was not ac-
ecustomed to such jaunts as this-that
was evident. Yet, in measure, he was
enjoying it. In any event, after coming
into Rocky canyon for the privilege OF
s.roughing it." he had no intention of
going back on the venture at this stage
of the game. A two-weeks' vacation,
during which he need not turn in a line
of copy, did not come but once annual
", and it was not to be wasted in back
ward chances. But he was tired, and the
little beast under him did not possess
the most restful of movements. Then,
too, the road was lonely-fearfully SO.
Bob began to wonder how he had man
aged to miss all the camps, for he knew
he was in the heart of an extensive min
ing district. He kept travelling simpl 2
because he could not be satisfied to stop
until he had arrived at some definite I'M
-1erstanding with himself in regard to
his location. Now he was all at sea.
The narrow trail wound around the
eide of a craggy mountain, then dipped
into the valley again. The elevation dis
closed to view an approaching horse
man, riding with the ease of long prac-
stice. Five minutes later the men halted
to exchange greetings.
Hello, stranger, prospectin'
''Well, yes, a little. Prospecting for
pleasure"
Sorry to disappoint you, stranger,
but you won't find it in these ere dig
gins. Rocky canyon don't produce
nothin' but hard work and disappoint-
ment. Don't even rail out 'nough dust
to keep a Teller in chawin' tobaccer. l
can testify to that. Been here goin' on
three year now
Bob looked incredulous.
'sYour report doesn't agree with the
rrmors that find their way out of this
canyon
Fact, jest the same. Mighty poor
place fer a stranger 90 locate"
Bob began to surmise his presence was
not desired in Rocky canyon by this
experienced inhabitant.
'.How far is it to the nearest mining
Campo" he asked.
Jack DOolan's is down there a spell
But I'd advise you to keep out O. Jack

President Sellers and CONGRESSMAN Linton
Dissatisfied with the Republican Plat
form.
ST. LOUIS, June 22.-E. H Sellers, of
Michigan, president of the A. P A. ma
tiona1 council, and Congressman w. S.
Linton, OF Michigan, are deeply in
censed at the refusal of the resolutions
committee of the repu blican national
convention to incorporate the declara-
ton demanded by the order in the
platform thus declared for absolute
freedom of all public schools from
sectarian influence and civil inspec-
ton of all private educational in
situations, for the absolute separation
of church and state, for no more Sec
tartan appropriations. for stringent
immigration laws, for restriction of
suffrage to citizens only, for owner
ship of lands to actual American citi-
zens and against alien ownership, for
prohibition of contract convict labor,
for national system of education and
for the taxation of all but public prop

the same declaration to the democratic

if both reject it the A. P. As would

BUILDING FALLS

More Than a Score of Persons Buried Un-
Dead.
SAN FRANCISCO, May 23.-The three
story building at the corner of Fifth
street and Mint avenue. in which the
Brighton house and the Pioneer coffee
house were situated, collapsed at 4:3O
yesterday afternoon, burying % per-
sons in the ruins. Five dead have been
recovered, and II injured rescued The
building came down with an awful
crash and the structure was in a mo-
ment mass of kindling wood. There
were large number of people in the
building at the time. In front of the
ruins, plainly visible, lay a man.
Across his body was a large beam. He
cried piteously for help. After work.
ing half an hour the rescuers released
him and he was taken to the receiving
hospital. The mass of debris greatly
retarded the work of the rescuers- To
add to the horror the debris caught
fire at the rear end and a volume of
smoke blinded the rescuers. The en-
gines commenced to play a stream on
the fire. This added a new horror, as
the water threatened the lives of those
under the debris

The ex-Secretary of the Treasury Who
Eroke Up the Whisky Ring Rest.
NEW YORK, June 25.-Benjamin Hell
man Bristow, eX-secretary of the treas
ury, died to-day at his home in this
city. He was born in Elkton, Todd
county, KY, June 20, 1882. When the
war broke out he ntered the Northern
army as 1ieutenant-colonel in the
Invent Fifth Kent ucky infantry and
distinguished himself at Fort Henry
and Donelson, Shiloh and elsewhere.
He assisted also in the capture of the
raider, Gen. John HI. Morgan. After
the war Col. Bristow removed to
Louisville and took high rank in his
profession. In 1870 he entered into
law partnership with Gen. John NJ.
Harlan, but in the following year was
appointed to the newly created Office
of solicitor-general of the United
later upon the resignation of Secretary
of the Treasury Richardson he was
named for the vacant position. He lost
no time in laying pipes for wiping out
the whisky ring, which induced the
political enemies of Grant to put him
forward a candidate for the presi-
dency-a move which obliterated him
as he had obliterated the whisky ring.
He resigned from the ca binet in 1876
and at the repu blican national conven-
ton held that year in Cincinnati re-
ceived 123 votes for the presidential
nomination upon the first ballot

AN EXTRA SESSION.

Probable That One VIII BE Called Next
Spring. No Matter Which Party Wins.
WASHINGTON, June 23.-An extra ses-
sion of congress next spring seems
practically decided upon, whether the
repu blicans or the democrats win in
the presidential election this autumn.
The repu blican leaders have been plan
ming for some time for special session
of the new congress to put the McKin-
ley law in operation and to provide
sufficient revenue to wipe out the pres
ent monthly deficit and to add to the
accumulated surplus Maj. Mckinley
caused it to be understood through
his friends that this programme
was agreeable to him and
the calling of an extra session in March
or April has been regarded as fore
gone conclusion in case of republican
success in November. The argument
made for prompt action on the tariff
has been that every congress which
has thus far dealt with the subject in
recent years has been kept in session
for months beyond the usual date of
adjournment and that final action on
a new tariff law has not been secured
until nearly two years after the people
had rendered their verdict at the polls
1t is proposed to set the ways and
means committee at work on a tariff
bill next winter

HARRITYS VIEWS.

The Democratic Chairman Thinks the Dem
ocrats i'll Not Declare for Free Coinage
he Favors Sound Money.
PITTSBURGH, Pa, June 2O.-Chair-
man w. F. Harrity, Of the demo-
cratic national committee, passed
through here yesterday en- route to
Philadelphia from ST. Louis. He has
been the guest of ex-Gov. David r
Francis, of Missouri. While in st.
Louis, Mr.. Harrity declined to be in
terviewed on the subject of politics for
the reason that his visit there was of a
purely personal and social character,
and that it seemed indelicate for him
to discuss politics from a democratic
standpoint while the repu blican party
was the guest of ST. Louis. When
asked about the platform adopted
Thursday Mr.. Harrity said:
In my opinion the action of the republican
national convention makes it even more i'm
portant that the Chicago national convention
shall declare for sound money than If an equiv
ocal financial plank had been placed in the St
Louis platform. am record as predicting
that the democratic national convention viii
not declare for the free coinage of silver and
still quite hopeful that the sound money
element of the democratic party will prevail
in the convention.
He was asked what effect the with
drawal of Senator Teller and his free
silver associates from the republican
convention would have upon the Chi
cago convention and Mr.. Harrity said:
1t ought to give announcement to our
party to adopt a free silver policy. 1t will be
found that the gentlemen who bolted the ST.
Louis convention will not take any step to help
the democratic party. They would doubtless
cooperate with the democrats. providing the
democrats would follow where they lead. The
suggestion that Senator Teller may be nomi-
mated by the Chicago convention is not worthy
of a moments serious consideration. believe
that the democracy can enter the campaign
with much more of hope and confidence
il they will unequivocally declare for the
listing gold standard. If they will do and
nominate candidates in harmony with such
declaration. the currency issue will be prac-
tically eliminated from the canvass and in
far it might remain, it would be to the ad-
vantage of the democrats in New York. New
Jersey and Connecticut because of Maj. Nc
Kinley's equivocal record and attitude. The
tariff would be made the main ISSUE and be-
lieve this would be to the prejudice of the
publican candidates who stand for ar
IRENE high protective tariff. The business in

direct concern in still higher duties upon inn
ports. want a rest from further tariff agitation
AS this country gives satisfactory
assurances of the soundness and stability of
its monetary policy, would be the if
both the great parties declared for the existing
gold standard. general confidence would be
stored Il will then be found that the present
tariff will produce ample revenue for all of the
expenses and needs of the government With
