LONDON, Oct. 30.-A correspondent
of the Daily Chronicle at Chicago cables
that In the course of long, frank con-
yarsation with Chairman Jones OF the
Democratic national committee. he ad-
mitted that indications pointed TO lii

serted that the state was not essential
to Democratic success.
JONES EXPLAINS.
WASHINGTON, Oct. SO.-Senator
Faulkner, chairman of the Democratic
congressional committee, in reply TO an

from Chairman Jones of the national
committee:
CHICAGO, Oct. 30.-Hon. Charles j.
Faulkner, Washington: My statement
to the London Chronicle correspondent
was that Mckinley could not win With
out Illinois, but that Illinois was not at
all essential to Bryans success; that 1
had no doubt of Bryan's election without
regard to Illinois; that I believed our
chances the best for Illinois. The Re-
publicans must be driven to desperate

recognize the rights Of parents to send
their children to private schools and
colleges If they so desire, believe that
the free public school must remain a
part of our system Of government in
order that the means Of education shall
be within the reach of every child in the
land. The Democratic members of con-
gress voted against proposed amend
ment to the constitution of New Mexico
which compelled the teaching of the
English language in the public schools,
not because the Democrats were oppos-
ed to public schools, or to the teaching
of the English language in such schools,
but because they did not deem II neces-
sary or wise to require pledge from the
people of New Mexico which had not
been required Of the people of other ter
ritories seeking admission.
II trust that those who support the
policies set forth in the Democratic plat
form will not allow themselves to be
alienated from my support on any of the
aff1davits which may be circulated by
political enemies. I have tried so far as
1 could to conduct this campaign in an
open and honorable way, and have In
sisted that those who are with US should
refrain from personal criticism of my
opponents and leave the people to pass
judgment on the principles which we

victed forger, was released from the
county Jail today after years impris-

his career Of extravaganza and dissipa-
tion as to be classed as a professional
swindler, he was tried here for forging
the name of friend named Dixon to
a check for 5000, convicted and SEN
fenced to long term in state prison. A
few weeks ago the supreme court of this
state reversed the conviction and grant,
ed Whiteman new trial. The court
held that 1t was necessary that the pros
ecution should prove that Dixon existed
and that he had not given Whiteman
authority to sign his name. As Dixon
was friend of Whiteman and would
not testify against him, the district at
torney considers it impossible to secure
conviction. Although the charge
against Whiteman has not been dismiss
ed he was today released on his own

AN AUTHORITY ON CURRENCY
Gives His Views Regarding Free Coinage
Of Silver
America Can Promptly Force All Eu

LONDON, Oct. 30.-The Daily Mails
correspondent sends to his paper an
interview with M. Thery, editor of l.
Economist European, who is also sec
retary of the French Bimetallic league.
Thery is credited by the Daily Mails
correspondent as a great authority on
the currency question and it is said his
views are supposed to be identical with
those of M. Meline, the president Of the
council Of minister's
NJ Thery, discussing the pending
election in the United States, expressed
the opinion that even If Mr. Mckinley
We're elected he would find it necessary
to sanction great increase in the sill
YER coinage. He considers that if the
United States elected to pay her obil-
cations in silver she would be great
gamer, though the railway companies
would require to go into bankruptcy or
to ignore their gold contracts. He be-
l;eves Mexico would follow the example
of the United States and that America
has the mastery of Europe in regard to
silver and could precipitate the adoption
of the bimetallic system by France and
Germany by herself adopting silver.

CANTON, Ohio, Oct. 30.-The demon
strations have been continuing in Can
ton all week with an increase of vim
and parade effects scarcely expected
for the closing days of the campaign.
Chauncey M. Depew today added en-
thusiastic comment on the marvellous
scenes enacted here, when he said that,
lengthy and descriptive as the news
paper reports had been, he had had no
appreciation of the wonderful ovations
through which Major Mckinley was
passing, and no conception of the mag
nitude of the work he has been doing
No more novel nor prettier campaign
sight has been presented in this cam
paign of notable features than the one
which greeted Major Mckinley this af
ternoon, when he returned from the de-
pot whittier he had accompanied his
distinguished guest, Chauncey M. De-
pew.
Most conspicuous in the throng of peo-
pie that crowded the yards and streets
about his home were thousands of pub
lie and Catholic parochial schoolboys of
Canton, waving American flags and
shouting for Mckinley. Back of them
and all around them were the school
girls of Canton, and still further in the
rear were the parents of these children,
men and women of Canton, in countless
numbers. The affair which attracted
this assemblage was arranged by the
schoolboys themselves, when they de-
cded to call on Major Mckinley to pay
their respects: it was early concluded
to carry out the plans pursued by older
people. and this was accomplished most
successfully. Major Mckinley was Wis
IDLY affected by the demonstration of
his old neighbors and their children, and
IT was with much feeling that he deliv-
cred an address in response to the greet
ings. This was the fitting demonstra-
tion with which college day ended
The demonstration of the students,
according to Mr.. Henning, one of the
men in charge, was participated In by
representatives of forty-fve institu-
tions of learning. They hurrahed and
yelled and made the town resound. Be
SIDES response by Major Mckinley, the
students enjoyed talk from Chauncey

IN THE RING.

NEW YORK, Oct. 3O.-Leslie Pearce
of Philadelphia and Bill Ernst of Buff
falo had brief fight before the Broad
way Athletic club tonight, which was
stopped by the referee in the fifth round.
The bout was for fourteen rounds at
1856 pounds. Pearce had the advantage
of height and weight, but Ernst was not
a bit nervous and expressed his conf
dence of winning. Pearce became grog-
sy in the third, but freshened in the
fourth. In the fifth Ernst sent a hard
left on the neck, which sent Pearce stag
gering to the ropes. Ernst then got in
a right swing on the jaw, which almost
finished Pearce. The referee then
stopped the bout and Ernst was de-
clared winner.
