MRS CASTLE is CONVICTED
And Sentenced to lmpris0nm ent Without
Hard Labor
Sent to Wormwood Scrubbs and Dressed
in Prison Garb-Her Early Re-

Associated Press Special Wire

LONDON. Nov. 6.-The trial of Mr..
and Mrs. Walter M. Castle of San Fran
cisco, charged with shoplifting, took
place in the sessions house of Clerken-
we'll today and resulted in Mr.. Castle be-
ing acquitted and Mrs. Castle being
sentenced to three months imprison-
ment without hard labor.
Arriving at Wormwood Scrubbs pris-
on Mrs. Castle was taken to the inflrm-
ary. After description of her had been
entered on the books according to the
regular routine she was clad in the
prison dress. Her sentence being for
three months only she will not be obliged
to have her hair cropped.
Mr.. Hodson of the United States en-
bassy, on leaving sessions, remarked,
I'VE shall get her out within a week."
The Associated Press has been in
formed that Mr.. Castle was allowed to
accompany his wife to the prison. Upon
arriving in the office she became vio-
lently hysterical again and seemed to
be totally dazed. She did not know at
all where she was.
The usual formalities were observed
without deviation at the prison, no in
structions having been received from
the home office to treat Mrs. Castles as
ever, Immediately ordered her to be re-
moved to the hospital and detailed two
nurses to attend her.
There was another painful scene when
the husband came to take leave of his
wife. Mr.. Castle bore up we'll through
the terrible ordeal and devoted him
self to trying to console his wife, prom
ising to come and take her away as soon
as it was possible. The doctor ordered a
special diet for Mrs. Castle and asked
to have DR.. Balmore, the chief medical
attendant at the prison, summoned in
the morning to take charge of her case.
She was clad in the hospital garb and
was given comfortable bed, the nurses
in attendance being especially instruct
ed to treat her with great care. She be-
came more calm later in the evening,
though she constantly relapsed into hys-
terical outbreaks, crying: "Why don't
some one take me home?" Where am
II" Il don't belong here" "Will nobody
help me?"
The prison doctor said: "This wo-
man is not right. This is surely a case
for the home office officials"
1t is thought Mrs. Castle is not likely
to be released for ten days, but this is
conjecture. The informant from whom
this information came stated that even
the officials of the prison who are ac-
customed to such scenes were deeply
sympathetic.

BRYAN AT HOME.
McKinley's Message to His Opponent
Plans for the Future.

LINCOLN, Neb.. Nov. 6.-Mr. Bryan
today received the following reply TO
his message Of congratulation to Presi-
dent-elect Mckinley:
Hon. w. ]. Bryan. Lincoln, Neb.: /
acknowledge the receipt Of your courte-
Gus message Of congratulation with
thanks, and beg you to receive my best
wishes for your health and happiness.
(Signed) "WILLIAM M'KINLEY."
Mr.. Bryan has replied to some of the
offers of employment at high salaries
which he has received since election day.
declining them on the ground that he de-
sires to be free to devote large portion
of his time in the future to the advocacy
of bimetallism.
He said in reply to questions, that he
had not arranged the details Of his plans,
but that he would enter upon no line of
work that would interfere with his main
purpose. He has agreed to address pub
lie meeting in Denver at an early day,
but beyond this has made no engage
ments for the immediate future.
ABOSTON MESSAGE.
BOSTON, Nov. 6.-The Massachu-
setts Bimetallic union has sent let
ter to Mr.. Bryan at Lincoln, Neb., in
which the sentiment is expressed that
the propositions that the value of money
depends upon its quantity as compared
with the work for it to do; that money
should be stable in value and the SER
want of mankind and not it's master, as
Is now the case. and that an enhancing
money standard are truths majority Of
Americans will yet learn.
NOT DISCOURAGED
DENVER, Nov. Ex-senator Henry NJ.
Teller arrived here from the east today.
In an interview he said: II do not think
the Republican party will do anything
for silver during the coming four years.
The declaration of the st. louis plat
form amounts to nothing with :. limita-
tion put upon it. Besides that, the men
who dictated the st. Louis platform are
opposed to bimetallism, internationally
or otherwise. Mckinley, it seems to me,
has shown by his speeches that he will
be the advocate and supporter of the
gold standard on the ground that it is
better standard than bimetallism.
During the four years to come ex-
pect to see the Republican party aban-
don all pretense to a desire to secure in
ternational bimetallism, and the con-
test will be made between the gold
standard supporters and the organized
hosts of bimetallism. I think that four
years from now people will be sufficient
ly educated to understand the danger
of the gold standard, and the party that
stands for bimetallism in 1890 by the
United States alone will be successful.
There is no reason why we should be
discouraged. Our candidate was all we
could desire and performed his part to
perfection. We must not look backward
but forward.
THE silver forces have a magnificent
organization and now for the first time
the fight is transferred from the silver

CHICAGO, Nov. GA special to =
morning paper from Washington says:
An extra session following iiTs;Ted!ate.s
the Inauguration of Mr.. Mckinley is, in
the prevailing opinion, certain. No one
processes to have word from Mr.. Kin
ley direct on the subject, but there Is
good authority forS saying that Mark
Hanna, during a recent visit in New
York, said enough to give the impression
that an extra session is on the Republics
an program
Senator Quay believes an extra session
is certain That is what he had in his
mind last Saturday when he said: I'VE
shall have a new tariff bill within eight
months after McKinleys inauguration"
Senator Quay has the habit of speaking
by the card, and to get a new tariff bill
passed by that time would require the
calling of congress together as soon af-
ter March 4th next, as possible.
VOTES IN THE SENATE.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 6.-The next
senate, it is believed, will stand: Repub-
licans A, Democrats SO, Populists and in
dependents 49, This table takes all
states out of the doubtful column, plac-
ing Kentucky and North Carolina In the
Republican column, as Senator Butler
said today a free silver Republican
probably would be returned by the
fusionists; Delaware In the Democrat
ic column and Kansas and South Dakota
in the independent and Populist column.
This will prevent the Republicans from
taking control of the senate unless some
of those who bolted the Republican
platform at ST. Louis should return.
1t is difficult to estimate the exact
standing of the next senate on the money
question owing to the new alignment Of
the parties in the recent campaign. Men
who have been pronounced silver men
have been supporting the Republican
platform and candidates, and pronounce
ed gold men have supported the Demo-
cratic platform and candidates. Per-

convinced of his error let each advocate
Of bimetallism continue to work.
Let all the silver clubs retain their
organization, hold regular meetings and
circulate literature. Our opponents have
succeeded in this campaign and must
now put their theories to the test. In
stead Of talking mysteriously about
sound money and honest dollars they
must now elaborate and defend the
financial system. Every step taken by
them should be publicly considered by
silver clubs. Our cause has prospered
most where the money question has been
longest discussed among the people.
During the next four years it will be
studied all over this nation, even more
than it has been studied in the past
THE year 1900 is not far away; be-
fore that year arrives international BIZ
metallism will cease to deceive, before
that year arrives those who have called
themselves gold standard Democrats
will become bimetallists ard be with
out a party or become Republicans and
thus open enemies. Before that year
arrives trusts will have convinced still
more people that the trust is a menace
to the private welfare and to the public
safety. Before that year arrives the evils
of the gold standard will be even more
evident than they are now and the peo-
pie will be ready to demand the Ameri-
can financial policy for American peo-
pie and will join with us in the immedi-
ate restoration of free and unlimited
coinage of gold and silver at the pres
ent legal ratio Of 16 to l, without waiting
for the aid or consent of any other ma

Mr.. Bryan spent the forenoon today
preparing his statement to the public.
He continues to receive inquiries con-
cerning the result of the election and
many, accepting his acquiescence in the
result as final, pledge him their support
in continuing the fight for silver and for
the presidential nomination four years
hence. He has wired his thanks to the
national Democratic committee through
Senator Jones for the work done in his
behalf.

DEMOCRATIC PROGRAMME.
No Obstructive Tactics Against the
DinEleY BILL

Dingley BILL
Washington. Dec. 1.-THE COMPARE
lively early adjournment of the senate
was taken advantage of by some Of the
Democratic leaders of that body to
hold a meeting for the exchange of
views on the policy to be pursued in
the senate by the party during the
present session. Among other ques-
tiol.s under considera ton was that Of
senatorial elections in the various
states. The Democrats are convinced
that the Republicans will make every
effort to secure a majority of the SEN
ate through the elections in the va
rious state legislatures this winter, but
Mt to-day's meeting the sentiment was
that the Republicans could not win in
enough states to insure a majority in
the senate. AS to the Dingley bill, no
caucus or party restrictions will be
urged upon senators to vote against its
consideration,and Democratic senators
will vote as they individually may de-
termine. No obstructive tactics will be
employed against the bill, but the
whole Democratic party undoubtedly
would resist it's passage by votes and
by such amendments as could be
added to the measure. 1t was gener-
ally understood also that party lines
would not be drawn tightly during the
present session, and that the efforts of
the Republicans would not be resisted,
because it was felt that they would be
unable to accomplish anything largely
because of differences in their own
ranks.
