ANOTHER INJUNCTION IN SIGHT

2NNOIilhN I'M UNCIlON IN SIGHT.
Washington, Sept. 7.-Some impor-
tant developments in the rate war in the
South are expected this week The Sea-
board Air Line is awaiting the ruling of
the Interstate commerce commission on
the charge that the new schedule of
freight rates filed by the Southern vio-
latcs the long and short haul clause of
the Interstate commerce act. II the COM
mission absolves the Southern from vio-
lation of the act, the Seaboard, it is gem
orally understood, has determined to APP
ply for nm injunction to restrain the
Southern from carrying the new schedule
into effect 1t is also stated that the
Seaboard is after the Pennsylvania road,
which it charges with violating the law
by allowing lower rates from New York
and Philadelphia to Richmond than
from Baltimore and Washington TO
that point. This question, of course,
would be involved in the ruling on the
long and short haul charges against the
Southern.

NOMINATIONS in NEBRASKA
doldbas Republicans Resort 10 Sharp
Political Practice
Silver Supporters Will Appeal to the
Courts to Secure the Filing Of
Certificates of Nomination.

OMAHA, Oct. GA special to the Bee
from Lincoln says: Pursuant to the call
for free silver Republican mass con-
vention, issued by A. L. Rose yesterday,
several hundred Republicans got into
line this morning and held q conven-
tion under the call, without the presence
or support of Mr.. Rose. The convention
came off at Republican county head
quarters. Afterward from 800 to $40
marching Republicans visited the Lin
coin hotel and ratified the entire ma
tional and state Republican tickets.
They did likewise at the Capitol and
Lindell before disbanding.
The gold Republicans thus stole Mr..
Roses thunder, and nominated the reg
ular ticket as heretofore filed with the
secretary OF state. while Mr. Rose with
a handful Of chosen silver disciples met
somewhere and held star chambermass
meeting, nominating for governor Rob-
ert Armstrong of New York, farmer.
The gold standard convention hustled
itself around, filed it's certificate of NOM
ination of the regular ticket at IL o'clock,
noon. One hour later the Rose commit
tee appeared at the office of Secretary
Pixer with the foregoing ticket of nom
ination, and were informed that it could
not be legally filed for the reason that
certificate had already been filed by a
convention held under his call.
1t is rumored that Rose will fight in
the courts, and perhaps by the man.

state to file the free silver certificate
of nomination.

A GREAT SOCIAL SENSATION
Caused by the Arrest Of American
Tourists
A San Francisco Millionaire and His
Wife Arrested at London Charged
With Stealing Some Furs

LONDON, Oct. U.-Walter Michael
Castle, described as an American mer-
chant. Ella Castle, his wife. and Fred
Castle his 10-year-old son, were arrested
today at the Hoted Cecil and subse-
quently arraigned at the Marlborough
street police court charged with steal
ing several Chinchilla skins Of the total
value of Ell ($105) from furriers of this
city. The police found in the rooms oc-
cupied by the Castles at the Hotel Ce-
Gil five trunks marked Mrs. W. M Cas-
tie, San Francisco ,and Mr.. w. Castle,
New York which contained the four
missing 1urs, much jewelry and some
old painted china. Evidence was pre-
sented tending to show the prisoners
had entered the shops and after exam
lining the furs left without buying them
Immediately after the party departed
the proprietors missed the goods that
Castle had examined and notified the
authorities. Mr.. Castle, when taken
into custody, said my God, we bought
most of the things in Geneva and one
skin we bought from boy on the street."
The sum of SEQ was found on Castle
and six 10O-franc notes were found on
his wife. Both these prisoners were
remanded for week, bail being refused
and the boy was discharged.
MAY BE A MISTAKE
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct CIV. M. Cas-
tle who was arrested in London today
on charge Of stealing furs, is the senior
member of the big tea importing and
dried fruit shipping firm of Castle Bros.
Of this city He is a millionaire and
very prominent socially. His firm here
is one of the largest in the country and
Mr.. Castle has always borne an untar-
nished reputation. His brothers here
when shown copy of the London dis
patch, were overcome with grief and sur
prise. They said there must be some
mistake, as their brother and his wife
could not be guilty Of the charge against
them. Mr.. Castle left here last April
with his wife and young son and was to
have sailed for the United States to-
morrow. He was literally supplied
with money and a. draft on his firm here
in San Francisco to almost any amount
would have been honored without ques-
ton. The Castles are the leaders of
wealthy Jewish society in this city, and
the arrest will create profound sensa-
ton.

HOW THE QUEEN NEARLY BE
CAME BANKRUPT

It is q fact that not very many years
ago her majesty escaped complete fl
nancial ruin by mere chance. The
failure of a certain great bank is with
in everybody's recollection. 1t came
like thunderbolt upon the whole COM
mercial world.
The deficit was not to be counted in
hundreds of thousands, but in millions
of money. AS for the shareholders in
the unlimited company, they were LA
BILE individually to the whole extent of
the banks debt That is to say, the
owner Of a ten-pound note share was a
part debtor of the six or seven millions
that the bank was short.
This, OF course, meant hopeless ruin
even to the very richest of them. The
first call swept away the savings of a
lifetime of the widow and orphan In
short time the weight of debt had at
tackled ana swallowed up the middle
class holders of shares. Then, grinding
as slowly and surely as "the mills of the
gods" it reached the capitalist and mil
lionaire, and left them sucked dry and
penniless. 1t mattered nothing wheth-
er they had one share or a hundred, the
result was the same-hopeless ruin.
Now 1T happened that some time be-
fore this failure a loyal Scotchman had
died. bequeathing sundry shares in this
bank to the queen. Her advisers sat
long In council considering this be-
quest and her fate trembled in the bal
ance.
At last they decided that it was be-
meath her dignity to hold shares in a
commercial undertaking. But the com
ic papers got hold of the incident after
the failure of the bank, and made cap
ital of it from the point of view of what
might have happened"
They pictured Osborne, Balmoral and
buckingham palace for sale and the
crown Jewels in pawn. They pictured
mrs. England" reduced to taking in
!odgers They represented her ruling the
Kingdom from a room in the workhouse
and Mr.. Gladstone bringing her a well

Associated Press Special Wire
NEW YORK, Oct. GA dispatch to
the Herald from Havana says that the
official Pinar del Rio advices announce
the repulse of rebel force that fired on
Fort Pineda. Other dispatches today
mention scattering skirmishes. the cap
ture of several prefectures and the seiz-
ure Of horses and cattle.
Later in the day some details were re-
ceived of the two engagements fought by
the troops under Bernal and Granados
and the insurgents under Antonio Ma
Geo, at Guamo, in the western part of
Pinar del RioA on Monday last. Col.
Granados, it seems, was informed that
the Cantabro battalion was surrounded
by a force Of 5000 insurgent infantry and
800 cavalry at Guamo. The insurgent
force had been sent to Guamo by Antonio
Maceo from Iona Blanco. Col. Grana-
dos charged the enemy after his artillery
had fired twelve shots at the insurgents
position. The insurgents soon COM
menced to fly, and the Cantabro battal-
ion, thus relieved from its dangerous
position, was enable to join the troops
under Col. Granados. The insurgents
were dislodged after five hours fighting
and were driven back beyond Iona
Blanco, leaving eighty killed. The
troops had twelve killed and ninety-two
wounded.
While this fighting was in progress,
Gen. Bernal was finishing a second en-
gagement with the insurgents at Lomas
de Tajas. Gen. Bernal only had about
700 troops at his disposal, while the
forces of Maceo occupied long lines of
battle. The fighting commenced at $3.50
a. M, and the enemy made a very stub
born defense. But they were finally dis
lodged from the positions they had TAX
en-, leaving 100 killed, and the prisoners
captured by the Sapniards say the in
surgents carried away over 200 wounded.
On the side of the troops, Lieutenant
Colonel Romero of the San MarciaI bat
talon, one of General Bernals aid de
camps, and eighteen privates were
killed. In addition. Lieutenant-Colonel
Chabot of the engineer corps, eight off,
GERS and thirty-five privates were
wounded.

the returns from Indiana, and when it
was darkest hoped that when we got to
Indiana there would come light out of
the darkness. The vote of the west has
usually been Republican. This year the
people out west are solid on the money
question and no one doubts what the re-
suit is going to be there. (Applause.)
As the campaign progresses there
seems to be an increasing certainty that
the silver sentiment, always in the ma
jority here, is going to have so large a
majority that no advocate of the gold
standard will find hope in Indiana again
(Applause.) You have many distin-
guished statesmen in this state and you
have some prominent Republicans who
are now telling you what a terrible thing
free coinage would be. You have Re
publioans who are denying that legisla-
tion can effect the price Of silver or that
the price of silver affects the price Of
anything else. / want to call your at
tention here in Indiana to a portion of a
message sent to congress by Mr. Harri-
son when he was president in 1880. Let
me read you what he says on the effect
of legislation on silver. You will re-
member that this was just after the
passage of the Sherman law. 1t was
signed by President Harrison and after
its passage the price Of silver rose to
$1.a1.
On the first of December Of that year
President Harrison sent his message to
congress and in that message you will
find these words: THE enlargement of
our currency by the silver bullion I'M
doubtedly gave an upward tendency to
trade and had marked effect on prices,
but this natural and desired effect of
the silver legislation was by many err
roneously attributed to the tariff act"
My friends, principles do not change
each passing year. Men may change,
but the principles remain and a truth
spoken six years ago remains the truth,
although the man who spoke may be
sorry that he ever spoke the truth and
may be determined never to do so again.
(Applause.)
AT COLUMBUS.
The biggest crowd of the morning was
at Columbus, where Mr.. Bryan spoke
from a stand in the center of lot COW
ering an area of several blocks. Every
inch of this space was occupied and the
nominee was given hearty welcome.
There were two brass bands on the
ground. and all along the outskirts of
the crowd were vehicvles crowded with
hearers who had come from outlying
districts.
In his address Mr.. Bryan quoted from
speeches made by John G. Carlisle in 1873
and by ex-Congressman Bynum in 1885,
when Mr.. Bynum was member of con-
gress, against the gold standard.
AT EDINBURGH.
AT Edinburgh the train stopped for
but moment and Mr.. Bryan spoke
briefly.
AT FRANKLIN.
Franklin was the last stopping place
before Indianapolis, and there an
enthusiastic crowd of several thousands
wildly cheered Mr.. Bryan. From plat
form erected near the train he ad-
dressed the people.

DIAMONDS MADE FROM METALS

A few days ago M. Moissan, the dis
tinguished French metallurgist, discov-
cred that if iron was saturated with
carbon at the high temperature of the
electric arc, some of the carbon would
separate out on cooling in the form Of
true diamond. Another chemist, M.
Ressel, has conceived the idea that ow-
ing to the method by which hard steel
is manufactured it probably contains
diamonds, and this has been found to be
the case BY dissolving away the metal
in acid, and treating the residue with
concentrated nitric acid, potassium
chlorate and hydrofluoric and sulphuric
acids minute CRYSTALS of diamond are
left behind.-Pall Mall Gazette.

4 TEA ROSE PINK SATIN EVENING
GOWN.

One Of the prettiest new evening
gowns l have seen for this season is
made OF tea rose pink liberty satin, a
broad reseda green sash encircling the
waist, looped at the back, and falling in
wide ends to the hem of the skirt. But
these broad belts. either softly folded or
made plain over stiff betting, however
chic per Sc and becoming to some forms,
are never advisable for short, stout
women. Here the object is to lengthen
the figure; therefore a pointed girdle,
made to fit over the top Of the skirt and
encircling the waist at it's lowest line
Is much more becoming.-New York

SOMETHING INTERVIEWS.


When you owe fellow money,
1t is always kind O. funny
How you'd just a little rather that you
didn't chance to meet
OF course you mean to pay 1t,
And you know he wouldn't say 1t
If he even got to thinking you little in
discreet.
YouI know he wouldn't bore you
For the temporary loan you
Unthinkingly asserted you would very
promptly pay:
But though cordially you. greet him,
1t Is true you never meet him,
But you wonder If he's thinking of the
things he doesn't say.
Though you grasp his hand with ardor,
Though you grip 1t hard and harder
You'll still be sadly conscious of a some
thing in between,
OF a something intervening,
OF which you guess the meaning.
For you know it's but the spirit of the cash
he hasn't seen.

TRUTH ABOUT THE MKINLEY
TARIFF

Mr. Mckinley claims that by ''protec-
tion" he means tariff that will cover
the difference between the wages in this
country and in Europe. We have shown
from official statistics that many Of the
duties even in the present partially re :
formed tariff exceed not merely the Diff
ference In wages, but the entire labor
cost In the protected" articles. The Nc
Kinley tariff averaged nearly so per
cent. The average labor cost In manu-
factured goods Is not half SO much. His
tariff was tariff for bounties-it was
protection to trusts.-New York World
