THE RECENT BLOW.

String.

NEW YORK. Oct. 1.-THE battleship
Indiana, which is with the North At
lantic squadron off Tompkinsville. will
go to the navy yard IN Brooklyn as
soon as orders come from Washington.
New gearing will be put on the turrets
in place of that which was broken on
the recent trip from Hampton Roads.
The Indiana encountered fierce gale
between here and Hampton Roads last
March, and the gearing was found to
be not strong enough for an emergency.
The department was notified and new
gearing provided. This has been lying
in the navy yard for several months
because the Indiana has been so busy
with drilling that she has not had time

'In vain did Republican speakers and
papers demonstrate against this madness:

it not true that partial free trade has

an audience equal in numbers to that
on the capitol grounds. Farmers who
came in wagons and on horseback and
the excursions brought by trains COM
posed large part of both gatherings.
GREAT CHEERING.
Mr.. Bryan's voice sounded clearer
from his commanding position on the
Downey balcony, and his remarks
were punctuated by great cheering.
Then he went to the arrnory, spa
cious building, and spoke to those
packed within its walls and concluded
the evening at big tent, which was
also crowded.
There was little new in Mr.. Bryan's
Lansing speech IS.
At the Downey house he urged his
hearers who We're in favor of free sill
yer not to stay away from the polls on
election day. because the result might
depend upon the electoral vote of one
state.
Mr.. Bryan's special train then pulled
out for St. Jones, where he will begin
his speech-making tomorrow.

EVANS EXPLANATION.

A reporter saw Captain Evans, COM
mander of the Indiana, aboard his ship.
Captain Evans explained in detail the
trouble the Indiana has just had. He
said:
Soon after we left Hampton Roads
on Monday, all four Of the S-inch tur-
refs broke loose at once from their gear
ing. The sea was very rough and the
great roll of the ship made the clamps
inadequate to stand the strain. That
was about o'clock in the afternoon.
We went to work with five-inch haws-
ers to tie the guns up. About o'clock
the next morning the forward guns
snapped their hawsers and got loose
again The storm was then very Sc
we're and the ship was rolling at an
angle of thirty-six degrees. The decks
were flooded with water and this, with
the pitching of the ship, made working
en- deck very dangerous. 1t was black
az ink and we could not see how to
get about in order to head the sea. We
could only guess
ITO make matters worse the forward
13-inch gun turret got loose and the
enormous guns began thrashing about
in full command of the deck. The 49,
inch gun knocked great dents in the
scupper pipe. broke stanchions and
threatened to tear away the entire
superstructure.
VERY DANGEROUS.
ut was very dangerous to work in
that storm. l was afraid of losing two
or three men, and if / had not had the
bes't crew in the world l don't know
how we would have come out. We
fastened a five-inch hawser on the 16-
inch gun and it snapped like a cotton
string. Then we tried a five-inch wire
cable. The seq took it and 100 fathoms
went overheard.
Then / was afraid the cable would
foul the propeller. so we had TO stop
everything and recover it, The ship
was then proceeding at about five
knots. We got it after awhile and
finally caught the big guns with an
eight-inch hawser and tied them Sc
curely to the superstructure. It was
an awful job, though, and we were
in danger of being washed overheard
All during the work the deck was COM
pletely flooded
ut was o'clock in the morning when
we got through. The whole crew had
been at work all night The rest Of
the fleet had gone ahead, but it out
about and we regained our position
It will take about three weeks. Cap
tain Evans said, to have the new gear
ing put in.
Ensign Galbraith of the Indiana. who
had his leg crushed by an armor door
Monday night, had his leg amputated
below the knee in the Presbyterian
hospital yesterday afternoon.

CANTON. Ohio. Oct f6.-The first
delegation to call on Major Mckinley
this morning was party of farmers
and miners from Pennsylvania. They
represented Bradford. Easton, Carbon.
Northampton, Lucerne, Lehigh and
Wyoming. Congressman j. II. Cod
ding of Towanda acted as spokesman.
In responding. Major Mckinley spoke
at some length upon the advantages to
miners of a settled tariff policy. backed
up by sound and stable currency.
THE NECESSARY CONDITIONS.
These conditions. together with the
return of confidence to the business
world, he said. would restore the pros
perity TO the country that had been
destroyed by the enaction of the VIII
son tariff bill
The way to restore confidence, he
continued, is to have a settled tariff
policy that will enable the manufac-
turerS of this country to know Just
what their competition will be abroad,
and then prepare for it. Then, more
than that We want to have q currency
in this country that is Interchangeable in
value and equal to the best money in
the world. We want everybody in and
out OF this country to know that we
are not nation of regulators, Tap
plause), and that we do not mean
either to cheat ourselves by a short dol
lar or anybody else. Great aLplause)
Our dollars hereafter, as now. as ever
since 1879, snail continue to be worth
100 cents each in gold and not only at
home. but wherever trade goes. What
you want is the dollar that you have
now and the only trouble is that you
are rot getting eRough-of them because
you have not work enough.
Now, whatever viii put cur people
to work is the true, patriotic and Amer
lean policy. and the one which. by
your votes on the third day of Novem-
Der. you can determine upon, for mo-
body determines anything for the
American people but the American peo-
pie themselves.

MUST BE UNIVERSAL.

1t is on'y Terfect w5en universal. and it
is only under this principle that the Re-
publican party advocates its restoration.
The way some Of your orators used to
talk to YOU was as if the tariff was a.
good thing fer the Ohio farmer and
laborer, bur a positive detriment 10 the
West Virginia farmer and laborer; as if
it could benefit the miner of Pennsylvania.
but injure the miner of West Virginia:
as il the wheat and grain-grower in Kan
sas or the beet-producer of Nebraska
would grow rich by its operations. and the
cotton and sugar planters of Texas and
Louisiana become impoverished under it,
Tine and again you have heard them de-
clare that while protection might be a
good thing for New England, it was q
curse to the west and the south. You
know better. now, after having had three
years and a half experience under partial
free trade. Great cheeringO

FROM WEST VIRGINIA.

West Virginia sent a fine delegation
OF zoo voters to Canton. They came
from the oil-producing town of Sister
vile and the counties of Wetzel and
Tyler. TIE Elkins InvincibIes. a march,
ing club, 400 strong. wearing old-gold
hats and coats, were with the delega-
ton and formed an important part of
it.
Major Mckinley made one of the
most exhaustive speeches to southern
voters that ne has delivered this cam
paign. II was received with marked
demonstrations Of approval. He said:
THE policy of protection to Ameri-
can farms, industry. enterprise and la
Dor. IS a broad national policy. 1t has
not q tinge of ssctiOnaHsm in it; il is
sound in truth and wholesome in prac-
tice. It is not narrow and provincial,
but wide IN it's blessings and its bene-
fits. always promoting Industrial growth
and serving national ends. rewarding
individual efforts and advancing the
just aspirations and hopes of the Amer
lean people. 1t IS the doctrine of true
patriotism; the welfare of our country
and c0untrymen first, our home and
our families frs dn ardent. sincere
flag better than any other and would
the interests Of any other people or of
any other nation in the world. 1t is
not the plea of one state against an
other, or one group or section of sta7es
against another; but it is for the hene-
fiji of ALA policy that Injuries no Amer
lean interests. but promotes them all.
