 tor, and to Be so Entertained.

Mexico City, Dec. 13.-William J. Bryan and party, consisting of Mrs. Bryan, Hon. John w. Tomlinson and Mrs. Tomlinson, of Birmingham, Ala; Former Consul-Gen- eral to Mexico T. T. Crittenden, of Mis- souri, and Mrs. Crttenden, arrived here tonight over the Mexican National rail- way from Toluca, the capital of the state of Mexico at o'clock tonight, and a great crowd of Americans and Mexcans were awaiting the arrival of the distinguished political leader. Col. Garcia, of President Diaz's staff, in full uniform, greeted and welcomed MT. Bryan in the name of the chief magistrate and escorted him to the presidents private carriage.
 The famous Twenty-seventh regiment was stationed on the platform. Enthusi- asm was great among the many Ameri- cans present, and cheers and tigers for Bryan rent the air and loud calls were made for speech. But he refused to talk, and again he was cheered, Mrs Bryan coming in for her share of the applause. Nothing like tonight's demonstration has been seen here. President Diaz has given orders that MT.

"WHERE DIRT GATHERS, WASTE RULES.' GREAT SAVING RESULTS FROM THE USE OF
 . A POL- l., 10

fourths of the families in this country have been affected by this failure and hundreds of honest men cannot pay their debts The failure of the Haughgey bank at Indian apolis or the crash of other banks several years ago are not to be mentioned in the same list with this failure here. Conserva- tive men say this is more than a failure it is a calamity.
 The indications are that the stockholders in every bank in Indiana and Ohio sus- pected of dabbling in the telephone craze will demand a rigid investigation regard ing the value of the securities given.
 Referring to the foregoing, it is just as well to speak plainly. Too much indiscrlm- mate. loose handling of depositors' money has been indulged in by many of the bank CTS in recent years. Speculating with the hard-earned money of depositors has caused many suicides, and untold distress.
 There seems to be craze going over the country to establish telephone exchanges in opposition to the old, established, power full and we'll intrenched companies, that have ample capital and experience. And as the business is essentially monopoly, there can be but one way of escape TOT these new concerns, and that is to sell out to these old companies, who are smart enough not to let any of them out, II at all only with heavy loss.
 Under such circumstances 1t becomes an act of recklessness for any banker to be dabbling with such ventures, and the law should be meted out in full to the people who have so shamefully thrown away the money of the public on these telephone ventures in southern Indiana.

charge of habitua1 drunkenness in office, which was to have begun in the circuit court today was postponed until Thursday. The case is brought about by the action of the grand jury, which met in September last, which body recommended impeachment. Judge Ronlhac is presiding at the trial of the case, which is being heard by a jury of twelve men drawn from special venire for the occasion.
 Sheriff Carson has been deputy under several officials before his election to the office a year ago, and has made faithful official in the discharge of his duties, with the exception of his drunkenness There is a strong sentiment among the people of the city and county to give Sheriff Carson another opportunity to redeem himself, though it cannot be said what the verdict of the impeachment jury will be.
 The new mayor and city council elected at the municipal election on Tuesday last were inducted into office tonight. They are: Mayor, John B. Weakley, Jr.; alder men Emmet ONeal, George w. Porter, Thomas J. Phillips, Andrew Smith J. M. Thigpeh. Hugh Boyle, Peter Patrick.
 All of fhe aldermen, save George w. Por- ter. were elected on the reform ticket as was Mayor Weakley. They enter upon their duties at time when the city treasury is in Q depleted condition and the | city going in debt every year, and their course in office win, be watched with in terest They have promised reform in many branches of the city policy. | The old Florence hotel on South Count street, for the past year under the man. agernent of Mrs. R.

THAT WAVE OF PROSPERITY Treasurers in Fall River Mills h. cluded in the Wage Cut. NOTICES POSTED TODAY A Marked Discrimination in Favor of the Big
 Officials, Whose Salaries Will
 Not Be Disturbed.

Fall River, Mass, Dec 13-It is learned that the manufacturers committee, which has charge of the details of the pending situation of wages of mill operatives will recommend that the salaries of the treas as the wages of the employees, and each member of the committee has agreed to bring about this reduction in th&adminis- trative cost in his own mills. The commit tee has also decided that all overseers and others not usually included in such cut downs should come under the rule.
 The committee agreed that 10 per cent. was as much of a cut as the operatives could bear on account of the curtailment of the products of the Fall River mills during the past year.
 Notices of the reduction will be posted in the mills tomorrow or on Wednesday, but the details of the new schedule will not be given out until day or two later.
 Secretary O'Donnel of the Spinners' union has received vehement letter from Robert Howard of Boston, formerly sec- retary of the union, in which he says "In running over the names of the commit tee of manufacturers who are to draft the details of the cut down and to decide how it is to be inflicted, I notice seven names of agents among them whose combined sal aries amount to $50,O00 a year, or nearly $1, ,OOO a week. reduction of 10 per cent. in these salaries would be equivalent to a reduction of 125 weayers at $S a week. believe it would be a wise and proper course to pursue to call a national conven- tion immediately

GREAT DEAL OF MONEY
Lost in the Organizing of Telephone Com

From the Daily (Ky) New Era.
 The press dispatches in referring to the closing of the three banks in English, Ma rengo and Leavenworth, state that "the triple failure is even worse than was at first supposed. It is now estimated that the syndicate that controlled the banks has sunk not less than s5000O0 in various deals. A large amount of money was lost in the organizing of telephone companies which were to furnish service to small towns in southern Indiana. Nine township trustees lose all the public money in their possess sion. Under the state law the stockholders are liable for the full amount of their priv ate estate, and the depositors are assured that they will receive something. Three-

REACHING \ TURNING POINT
Is the Opinion of Prince Henry
 As to Germany.
LOYALTY TO FATHERLAND
To Protect the Rights of Germany in the Chinese Empire-Russia's Apparant Iadif-
 ference to the Proposed Partition.

Berlin, Dec. 13.-A number of civic, mu- nicipal and university delegations at Kiel waited upon Prince Henry of Prussia on Saturday to wish him bon voyage.
 The rector of the university said: "1n all German lands the feeling prevails that we are reaching a decisIve turning point in the history of Germany. The German uni versailles, which are the nurseries, not only of science, but of patriotism, stand beside the fatherland whenever it's honor or great ness are at stake"

 German Navy All Right
 Berlin, Dec. 13.-1n the reichstag today, Eugene Richter the radical leader, main tained that the affair with Hayti proved that the German navy was adequate to the demands likely to be made upon it. He opposed the proposition to increase the al- 1owance of the imperial chancellor, Prince Hohenlohe, whom he attacked for failing to promise the repeal of the prohibition against political resolutions.
 While the budget was under considera- tion, Herr Richter said he agreed with Baron, Von Thielman, secretary of the treasury, that the Dingley tariff tended in the derecton of the abolition of sugar bounties, and he added that if England adopted the same course as America the bounties would soon be abandoned.
 The chancellor replied that he still hoped that before the civil code of Prussia was enforced some arrangement would be ar rived at to repeal the prohibition alluded to. The house then adjourned.

TOBACCO CULTURE.
Commissioner Culver Gives an Encourag-
ing Account of the National To-
bacco Growers Association.


Maj. I. F. Culver, state commissioner Of
agriculture, was attending the meeting
of the state board of commissioners of
the Tennessee Centennial yesterday He
was seen by a State Herald reporter and
questioned about the result of the meet
ing of the National Tobacco Growers as
ISOLATION, held in Oealla, Fla, on the 18th.
II have just returned from the associa-
tion," said Mr.. Culver. I'VE had a very
pleasant meeting and / feel satisfied that
much good will result therefrom. The
greatest interest in the meeting was mann
ifested by representatives from Cuba and
Samatra. &
1.-THE fact was clearly demonstrated
that an excellent quality. of cigar tobac-
co can be raised in Florida, and I predict
that Florida will be a leading tobacco
growing state of this particular class of
tobacco in the near future. The climate
and conditions both are favorable to to-
bacco culture, and / see no reason why
the lower portions of Alabama may not
be equally as good.
''I am confident the Sand mountain Sec
ton of Alabama will produce an excel
lent quality of plug tobacco and wrap
per leaf. l formed this latter conclusion
from the experiment already made by the
Northeast Agricultural college at Able
vile, Marshall county. The result of the
test was far superior to what was antici-
pated."
Mr.. Culver is very much interested in
Alabama's having a first-class exhibit
at the Tennessee Centennial, and is using
his best efforts in that direction
