is WITH HIS PARTY
Claim of IcKinley's Friends as to His Posi-
ton on Finance
His Letter of 1890 as to Silver Does
Not Cause Them the Slight
est Uneasiness.

The letter said to have been written by
Mr.. Mckinley in October, $780, in which
he expresses a willingness to see all the
silver product Of the United States circu-
late as mCEey, gives the men who are urg-
ing I'm fer President no uneaSiness. AL
lowing for arguments sake that the letter
is genuine, they point out that the senti-
ment quoted from it does not differ very
materially from the sentiment of the re-
publican party on the silver question at
that time 1t was in July of that year that
the Sherman act passed Congress. That
act made provision for the monthly pur-
chase of four and half million ounces of
silver bullion, against which circulating
notes were to be Issued. The act was a
compromise. The flee silver men eXerted
themselves to secure free coinage, but fail
ed. A very popular suggestion while nego-
tiations for agreement of some kind were
afoot wSS that of making provision ex-
pressly for the utilization Of the full out
put of the American silver mines. The
Sherman act at last took shape, and for 1t
all the republicans of both houses of Con-
gress voted. Mr.. Sherman and Mr.. Teller
voted Tor it In the Senate, and Mr.. Mckin-
ley, then chairman Of ways and means,
voted for 1t in the House.
BY the time the Fifty-third Congress met
in special session in August, 1893, the Sher-
man act lad been condemned by the repub-
Hcan party. Its author, Mr.. Sherman,
openly advocated the repeal Of the pur-
chasing clt use of the act months before
the President urged the step upon Con-
gress. The step vas taken by Congress,
ali but the silver republicans voting for re-
peal. Mr.. Mckinley vas not a member of
that Congr ess. but it is claimed by his
friends that, had he been, he would have
stood with his party and voted for repeal
The Mckinley men contend that their
candidate has always stood with his party
On all the vital questions. To charge him
with being friendly to silver is to charge
the republican party with being friendly to
silver. And the charge, in that connection
and to that extent. is admitted. 1t is
agreed that the republican party is friendly
to silver. 1t is commended, indeed, that
every piece of legislation written on the
books in twenty years carrying practical
results for silver's benefit has been the
wcrk of the republican party. Mr.. Mckin-
ley, his friends claim, is with his party to-
Gay on the money question, and that no
speech he ever made, no letter he ever
wrote. vote he ever cast, can be quoted
20 embarrass him after the ST. Louis con-
vention has set the seal of its approval on
his candidacy for President. To accuse him
of being friendly to silver along the lines
of his party's record is his friends believe,
an Endorsement of his claim of being con-
sidered a bimetallist.

WILL BE MURDER,
Little Sadie Buxton is mt Deaths
Door,

Little Sadie Buxton has only q few hours
to live, so the doctors think and the proba-
b!lities are that before the sun goes down
today the case will be one Of murder instead
Of assault. Dr. Snyder informed Mrs. Bux-
ton this afternoon that she might expect
her daughters end in the near future The
Eews was very affecting and the mother,
who is able only to sit up In bed may not
see her little daughter before death claims
her.
There were no new developments in the
case today in the inv estigation, SO far as
could be learned here, but the people of
Montgomery county are as certain as ever
of the guilt of Randolph and they are not
certain that Neal is inr ocent, although the
Baltimore detectives failed to find any evil
dence against him.
Colored lawyers in this city have interest
ed themselves in the case, and will in all
probability make some arrangements for
the defense of the prisoners. and 1t may be
that they will appeal to Gov. Lowndes for
the protection of the prisoners until they
can be given a trial.
Milton M. Holland is leader Of this move
ment and he Is actively engaged in 1t be-
cause he has been told that the men are
still in danger Of mob violence. The pris-
oners are without the funds necessary to
make q Defense and, as the lawyers here
believe In their innocence, they will render
them what assistance they can. A meeting
Of the lawyers will be held tomorrow after
noon, when money will be subscribed and
counsel engaged.
Should Sadie die this evening arrange
ments will probably be made for the holding
the county authorities will have an oppor-
tunity to offer what evidence they have col
lected against the prisoners, who are now
in the Baltimore Jail for safe keeping.

AUSTIN CORBIN KILLED.
The Millionaire Thrown From ii
C0rFiure.

Carriage.
Austin Corbin of New York died at $40
o'clock last night from injuries received by
the running away of the horses attached to
his carriage. The accident occurred about
3 o'clock in the afternoon, while Mr. Cor
bin was being driven from his estate and
game preserves, two miles from Newport,
n. H., accompanied by his grandson, Edgell
Corbin, and the latter's tutor. The driver
was John Stokes.
When coming out Of the entrance gate
the horses SHE'D and in their fright dashed
across the road and colided with a high
stone wall. The carriage was overturned
sufficiently to eject with great force all its
occupants, with the result that one of Mr.
Corbins legs was broken in two places
and the other wrenched, while his head was
terribly bruised. The driver was injured
internally and died at o'clock. Edgell
Corbin had one leg broken, besides other
injuries, while the tutor es capped with q
severe shaking up.
The first information of the accident
brought to the village was when local sur
glcal help was summoned. Word was i'm
medlately dispatched to New York and
Boston for the best of surgical skill ard
skilled nurses.
Mr. and Mrs. Corbin and their grandson
came to their summer home from New
YORK on Memorial day. and the other men,
bers OF the family were to follow in a few
days.
SOrDlnS career.
Austin Corbin was born about seventy
years ago in Newport, N. H His father
was farmer. He gave his son a good
education and saw him graduate from Har-
ward Law School at the age Of twenty-five.
The young lawyer practiced for while in
the east, and then tried his luck in the
west, at Davenport, Iowa. He went into
the banking business there and removed 10
New York, where he organized the Corbin
Banking Company in 1865.
Soon after this he became interested in
railroads. His first trip to Long Island
was made with his sick child. His bust
ness instinct told him that the island, with
It's many natural advantages, was bound to
become summer outing place for great
majority of the millions Of the big cities at
whose very doors it lay. The Long Island
railroads at that time consisted of a few
scattered lines, badly managed, and being
run at loss by their owners. Mr.. Corhin
began by securing the control Of the prin-
cipai line. With that as foundation, he
gradually built up the great system which
now spans the island in all directions, alb
sorbing one after the other of the lines as
opportunity offered, and combining them
into one harmonious whole.
One of his schemes was to establish a
nne OF ocean steamers with the American
port located at Montauk Point
