A Luncheon Given in Honor of Chair

CHICAGO, Sept. 12.-Three hundred
and fifty Republicans, most of whom
We're members of the Hamilton Club Of
Chicago, attended a luncheon which was
given to-day at Kinsley's by the club
IN honor of Chairman Hanna. Fifty
others were unable to be present for
lack or room. Short speeches were made
by PROFESSOR Thomas Mcclellan Of the
Pacific University, Portland, Or;
George kretzinger, E. Z. Burley and
Murritt Starr of Chicago.
Mr.. Hanna made the principal ad
dress, speaking to the point that the
campaign issue now laid down by Mr..
Bryan was between patriotism, intelli-
gence and love for the law and repub-
lican government, for which Major Nc
kinley stood, and revolution, lawless-
ness and repudiation of republican insti-
tutions and federal government, for
which Mr.. Bryan was now speaking.
Congressman Belnap Of Chicago, Ed
ward +. Brown. Sub-Treasurer of the
National Committee; Chairman Hitch
of the Illinois Committee, and Execu-
tive Committeeman Dawes were also
guests.
There is a growing demand at head
quarters from every direction for tariff
literature, the tone of the letters re-
ceived at headquarters being that there
has been a surfeit of currency argu-
ments.
Secretary A. Il. White Of the West

lican prospects Frightening In his State
and the demand for literature and
speeches increasing every day.

SHOOTING ARRAY.
Harry Holmes Tries to Cut Short
Angelo Bernal's Life.

A lodging house on Fourth street, be-
tween X and L, was the scene Of
shooting affray last night that for
tunately did not have a fatal result,
although the shooting took place at
short range.
Angelo Bernal, who is employed at the
Buffalo saloon, at 325 K street was
taken to the Receiving Hospital with
bullet in his wrist, and Harry Holmes,
who did the shooting, is in the City
Prison.
The principals in the affair are reti-
cent concerning the cause, but it is said
that, as usual, there was a woman In
the case. AS nearly as can be ascer-
tanned from the story Of Bernal, the man
who stopped the bullet, he was in bed
in his room, when Holmes knocked at
the door. He called to him not to come
in, but he did not heed the prohibition.
He came in and pulled the clothes off
Bernal, and when the latter struck him
he commenced shooting, firing four or
five shots, one of which took effect, the
others striking the door
A telephone message was sent to the
police station from Third and L streets
that wounded man was there. The
patrol wagon was sent, and on it's ar
rival Holmes climbed into it and an
nounced that he surrendered. He was
bloody, but had only a black eye. Be
fore the wagon returned another mess
age came from Fourth and K, and it
was sent up there and brought Bernal,
who had been arrested by Officers Maley
and Captain Ash, to the station and City
Physician Nichols was sent for. He
found that the bullet had struck the left
wrist and followed the bone up toward
the elbow about four inches, where it
was cut out and proved to be a 3S-cal-
iber bullet
There was also found a cut, apparent
ly made by bottle or glass, on Bernals
wrist, but it is not known how he re-
ceiyed it

TOOK A SHOT.
Davy rlissed His rlan and rIust
Answer in Court.

Edward Bankroft and Patsey Davy
engaged in a shooting affray in a sa-
loon at Twentieth and G streets yester-
day. The trouble between the two men
grew out of a deal with a watch.
Davy claims that Bankroft borrowed
his watch and then pawned it, and when
he called him to account Bankroft be-
came enraged and drew knife. Davy
responded with pistol and took shot
but the aim was bad. At the show Of
firearms Bankroft beat a retreat and
friends of Davy prevented him from fol-
lowing his antagonist.
Officer Max Fisher arrived soon after
the shooting, but could gain no inform
alton from the men who witnessed the
ARRAY. He finally learned the names of
the participants and arrested Davy, but
Bankroft could not be found. AS no
evidence could be secured against the
men the officer swore to complaint
charging Davy with discharging fire.
