LETTER OF ACCEPTANCE
Mchiniey's Formal Utterance will
Recognize n Dual Issue.

Canton, o., Aug. o.-This week will
be one of the quiet ones of the campaign
in Canton. One or two delegations are
expected to arrive, and Major Mckinley
may make two or three short speeches,
but he hopes to give great deal of time
IN the next ten days to his letter of ac-
ceptance. 1t is likely that it will be fin
ished by the end of the third week in
August, but he does not expect to pub
fish it before the first of September.
Mr.. Hobart will commence work on
his letter very soon, and if the usual
custom be followed, he will send a copy
of it to Major Mckinley week or so
before it is given to the public.
Major McKinley's letter will be his
longest and most formal utter
ance during the campaign, and he
will enter upon a careful consideration
of the two great issues, "protection"
and "sound money" These two issues
are almost equal in Importance, in the
opinion of Major Mckinley as indicated
in his speeches. Scores of his friends,
however, will come here from various
parts of the country, seeking to impress
upon him that popular interest in the
money question is declining and by
he middle of September tariff will be
he issue of paramount Importance
However this may be, Major Mckinley

Fast cycling.

St. Louis, Mo, Aug. 9-E. E. Ander-
son attempted today to ride one mile in
one minute paced by locomotive and
failed by three seconds. The trial was
on the track of the Bluff Line railway
nine miles north of East St. Louis. The
track was solidly planked and the engine
was an express speeder. Several warm
ing up spurts were made over part of
the track to get the speed regulated. In
one of these Anderson made a half
mile in 80 seconds. For the final trial
half mile running start was made. AS
the engine crossed the starting line the
cycler was seen twelve feet behind the
engine and seeming to urge the pace
maker which was going at a IS secon
speed. At the half the speed was
about a mile minute with Anderson
working hard and fifteen feet behind.
AT the three-quarters the engine was
turned loose, and crossed the line in one

Thiede WIS hanged here yesterday fore
noon He was convicted of numbering
his wife at Murray, the night of April
goth, 1894. Her throat was cut, appar-
emily with large knife and her body
found in the yard soon after the tragedy.
Circumstances pointed to Thiede as the
murderer, blood having been found on
his ,hands and clothes. 1t was also
shown that he was cruel to his wife and
had often threatened her. She had told
neighbors she was afraid her husband
would kill her. and the night of the
murder had fled to the home of a neigh
Dor for protection.
Thiede met his fate braveIy, manifest
ing no fear. His look was one of pale
determination and he walked unaided |
to the scaffold. When all was in readi- |
ness, standing on the platform with the
moose dangling over his head, Thiede,
in a tremulous voice said, "Gentlemen.
l am convicted of numbering my wife.
For the last time before dying I wish to
protest my innocence"
The straps were then adjusted and at
Io:3oH the drop fell. In fourteen min
ites he was pronounced dead, death re-
'ulting from strangulation. The execu4
ion was private, being witnessed only
~ twenty-five invited guests.
The body was taken to Joseph VIII ,

A Possibility That Two Bills May lie
Reported In the House.
WAsuINGToN, Jan. II. - Ed
ward l.. Bayliss of New York, one
of the projectors Of the Pacific
Gable Company, which recently
was given a hearing by the Senate
Committee on Foreign Relations,
today appeared before the House
Committee OH Interstate and For
eign Commerce to explain the plans
of his company, which he did at
length.
The Pacific Cable Company was
opposed by Il. S. Spalding of the
Hawaiian Islands, who is interest
ed i'll a rival company, and which,
as projected, is to connect the
United States and the Hawaiian
Islands. There is a well-developed
rivalry between the two House
committees, the Foreign Affairs
and the Interstate and Foreign
Commerce, for the honor of bring
ing the Hawaiian cable scheme be-
fore Congress. Only yesterday
Chairman Hit of the Foreign AT
fairs Committee appointed sub.
committee to consider the cable
but the Commerce Com
mittee has stolen a march on him
by getting to work.
The bill Of the New Jersy Gable
Company, with which Spalding is
identified, has been referred to the
Foreign Affairs Committee, and it
is possible that each of the two
committees will report a bill to the
House.
