for Free Silver.

Oakesdale Wash, Oct. 25.-Consterna-
ton was thrown into the camp of the
gold forces this week by c. It. Huling.
wealthy banker and money lender, who
has always been supposed to be gold
man, coming out for Bryan and free sill
yer. In a two column article published
in local paper Mr.. Hullng gives his reo-
sons for favoring the cause of the white
ret incomes exceeding $1,000 per annum
although this would mean several hun
dred dollars out of his pocket annually
In conclusion Mr.. Huling says:
II never made other than gold con-
tract In my life. / am willing, If Bryan
is elected, that any and all parties hav-
ing dealings with me should discharge
the same with silver. paper or any other
currency issued by the government. !
hope the one thousand or more parties
residing In Spokane and Whitman coun-
| ties with whom / have had money deal
| lngs In the past five years Will read care
| fully my views on the money question,
and then go to the polls and vote their
honest convictions without fear. favor or
intimidation. If your interest lies with
| The monopolists or gold bugs, l expect
| you will vote for Mckinley. On the othei
hand, If your interest lies with the toll
| ing millions of farmers and laborers, ther
vote for Bryan and free silver. Bryan Is
my man and shall vote for him."

were placed at the disposal of the Frisco
road. as soon as the news of the acci-
dent reached the city dispensary.
AT 2:40 o'clock this afternoon the relief
train bearing the survivors of the wreck
reached the Union station, and was i'm
mediately besieged by a crowd OF friends
and relatives anxious to see II their dear
ones had escaped injury. Some of the
wounded were carried to their homes by
their friends, while others were taken to
various hospitals. Among the latter were
three whose injuries will probably prove
fatal.
j. D. Dishman, the station agent at
Spring Park. stated to a reporter that
had the excursion train stopped at Spring
Park for orders, as 1t should have done,
the accident would have been averted.
He said that he got a message from VAL
ley Park when the accommodates train
left that point, and he added that had
the excursion train stopped he would
have had 1t pull into the switch until
the accommodation passed. Dishman
said that he was in his office when the
excursion train passed at high rate
OF speed. He said that he knew the two
trains would come together but he was
powerless to avert the accident.

A GREAT STREET RAILWAY TRUST.
Win Control Systems In England
and Europe.

street railway systems In Europe by an
international syndicate OF capitalists 81
the greatest business enterprise now on
foot In tho entire world. Some informa-
tlon on the question has been obtained
from gentleman who Is Interested In
the success of tho syndicates opera
tions.
The Americans at the head Of tho enter
prise are James Ross and a Mr.. Macken-
zle of Montreal. Mr.. Ross Is immensely
wealthy. Is director In tho Bank Of
Montreal and heavily Interested in the
Northern Pacific railway and Canadian
street railroads. 1t is stated that with
him are number OF Americans on this
side OF the Canadian line who have be-
come wealthy as street railroad opera
tors, also number of English. German
and Dutch bankers. as well as the great
house of Rothschilds. ~ These gentlemen
find the street railroads OF Europe where
those OF America were 10 years ago. They
see abundant opportunity to mako =
great deal of money by bringing them
up to the present American standard.
They not only have the underground rail-
| ways Of London In view, but are pre-
| pared to operate in Berlin, Paris ana
other large European cities.
| The syndicate has already gained pos
session of the street railways of Biz
mingham. Eng, and Is operating them.
AS motive power, compressed air will
be used. Compressed air has been tho
motive power on q Paris railroad for the
last 15 years. but Its complete success
was prevented by inability to obtain
| reservoirs which would sustain for any
length Of time the great air pressure
needed.
An American named Kellogg has In
vented seamless tube which will hold
air at a pressure OF 5000 pounds to the
square inch, and it was mainly this fact
that led to the formation OF tho syndi-
cate.
A company to make the tubing has been
formed In Boston, and the factory has

FARMERS TO HAVE A CONVENTION.
sixteenth Annual Session VIII he
Held In indianapolis.

Indianapolis, Ind, Oct. 25.-One week
from election day the sixteenth annual
session OF the Farmers National con-
gress will assemble in this city to con-
tinue for several days, and according to
present indications 1t will be largely at
tended. The sharp advance in the price
of cereals has furnished to many agri-
culturists who take an interest in the con-
gress the wherewithal to make the trip
from their homes for the purpose OF lis
tening to the papers and taking part In
the discussions. The present officers Of
the association are: President. Hon. b.
F. Clayton of Indianola, Iowa; first vice
president. Major @. M. kyals of Savan-
nah. Ga; second vice president, Colonel
I. C. Cunningham Of Cunningham N. c.;
secretary, Hon. John M. Stahl' of Chica-
CO. and his assistants. Major w. G.
WILDLY OF Atlanta, Ca, and Hon. T. J.
Appleyard of Sanford, Fla.
Tho last convention was held In At
anta, and is remembered from the fact
that the citizens of that place failed to
make good the financial guarantee upon
which 1t secured the gathering. The ma
