1YEN7Y-FITE SPEECHES TO-DAY. Major Mckinley will Address 5000
 Visitors at His Home

Canton, O., Nov. 15.-West Virginia sent a delegation of 700 voterssto Can- ton to-day. They came from the oil producing town of Sisterville, and the counties of Westzell and Tyler. The Elkins Invincibles, a marching club. 400 strong, were with the delegation. R. l.. Moore and P A. Shanor made short addresses to Major Mckinley In re- plying to their remarks Major Mckinley said:
 "The policy of protection to American farms, industry, enterprise and labor is broad national policy. It has not a tinge of sectionalism. It is sound in truth and wholesome in practice. It is wide in it's blessings and it's benefits, always promoting industrial growth, serving national ends, rewarding indi- vidual efforts and advancing the just aspirations and hopes of the American people. It is the doctrine of true pat riotism. The welfare of our country and countrymen first; our home and our families first; an ardent, sincere and genuine Americanism that loves our flag better than any other and would rather subserve our own inter- ests than the interests of any other people or any other nation of the world. It is not the plea of one statement against another or one group or section of states against another, but it is for the benefit of all-a policy that injures no American interests, but promotes them all. It is only perfect when uni versal, and it is only under this prin ciple that the republican party advo- cates it's restoration"
 Saturday promises to be the liveliest day of this campaign in Canton. Thirty delegations are scheduled to arrive here and the indications are that more than 25, 5,OOO people will come to Canton to- morrow and that Major Mckinley will have to make no fewer than twenty five speeches.

BAY STATE coMpANY BErALIArEs.
William Buchanan of New York Arrested
 on a Criminal Charge.

New York, Oct. 16.--William Buchan- an of New York, who petitioned to-day in Delaware for a receiver for the Bay State Gas company, was tonight serv- ed with an order to appear in a police court on Monday next to answer to criminal charge made against him by Camille Weidenfeld of the firm of Law son & Weidenfeld, of Boston and New York The summons to appear was is- sued by Judge Wentworth, city magis- trate. on dispositions filed in his court.
 The depositions set forth that ''the said Buchanan had circulated, contrary to the statutes Of the state of New York, false statements, rumors and in- telligence in the presence of said Weld enfield and others concerning the Bay State Gas company of Delaware, stat ing that it was insolvent and bankrupt, and that the president had diverted millions of it's capital stock to his own use; and the said Buchanan threatened he would ruin the said president if he had to spend s150,0O0 to accomplish that end; that he had arranged to bring suit against the company and secure a re- ceiver for it unless he was paid $235,0O0 for his securities by F o'clock, October 16; if this was paid to him he would withdraw his suit and stop all opera tions in the matter; that unless this payment was made the suit in Dela- ware would be pushed and the whole matter would be published in the even- ing papers of the day"
 An affidavit was also filed with the deposition by the treasurer of the Bay State Gas company, setting out under oath that the corporation was not in- solvent nor bankrupt; that, on the con- trary, during the present year he paid off all it's indebtedness. at one time amounting to over one million dollars; that at the present time 1t has only small amount of current debt and has cash on hand to a considerable amount. The treasurer further alleges that the president has not stolen any of it's cap ital stock, and as far as the new issue is concerned, he has not received or own- ed a share.

H1LDA S. NOBLE WORK.
She Wins Out From Big Field Over the
 MedfOrd Course.

Medford, Mass, Oct. 16.-Though the sun shone forth early this morning it's rays had not sufficient heat to dry up the mud on the Mystic park track suf- ficiently to enable any good trotting. The horses had had no trial for a week and were in poor condition, yet the races were started at 3 D. m. Sirock had the pole in the 2:15 trot On the back stretch Kate F. and Hilda S. had a fight for the lead. The latter broke but Noble pulled her back on her feet. and her speed shot her in a winner
 In the second heat Sirock won by grand show of speed from the three quarters The third heat was race be- tween Hilda S., Sirock and Nicola. Si- rock made a bad break and the other two were close together when passing under the wire, the judges giving the heat to Hilda S. The fourth heat was as fine race as has been witnessed in the park this season. The nine horses were punched to the end. Hilda S. won.

Engine Jumped the Track.

Bridgeport, Oct. 16.-Freight train No. 3O9, south bound, of the Naugatuck division of the Consolidated road, left the track at the entrance to the yards in this city at 5:45 tonight. Nobody was hurt, but the engine and three cars took a course directly across the main line tracks, so that New York traffic either way was blocked. The disabled train was in charge 0f Conductor Me- Farland.
 All trains were delayed about thres hours and the express from New York marrow escaped serious collision, hav- ing just passed when the engine and car jumped the track.
