BRYAN CALLS.

at the White House.
President Takes Him to His
Private Office.
GOES OVER THE HOUSE
Mr.. Bryan Takes a Stroll
Through Executive Mansion.
Tells Reporters That Yester-
days Elections
Indicate That COnfiden ce Had
Been Restored.

Washington, April 6-There were some
important callers at the White House
this morning, before the cabinet assem-
bled at IL clock. First came Senator
Hanna of Ohio, who had just returned
from Cleveland where he went to cast his
vote at the municipal elections yesterday.
He was with Mr.. Mckinley half an hour.
While Mr.. Hanna was still in the White
House, Mr.. Bryan the late Democratic
candidate for president, called with Rep
resentative 1icMiiiin of Tennessee and
Attorney General Smythe of Nebraska to
pay his respects to his late opponent.
They were Immediately shown into Mr..
McKinley's private office. The president
men, advanced and the president and the
candidate shook hands cordially. Mr..
Bryan remarked upon the presidents ap-
parent good health and the latter spoke
papers that Mr. Bryan was here to argue
a case before the supreme court. He al
so said he had received a copy of Mr..
Bryan's book few days ago but as yet

Mr.. Bryan smiling.
After a further exchange of courteSieS
and pleasna tries, Mr.. Bryan retired. He

Iors and the conservatory. In the main
corridor just he was emerging ne met
Mrs. Mckinley Acknowledged his salute

asked for his views on the Ohio and Mich
Igan elections yesterday They indicate

SHOW OF STRENGTH
Will be Made by Gold Democrats al

New York, April 6.-The Herald this
morning says:
Former President Cleveland. John G.
Carlisle, former secretary of the treas
ury. and William Wilson, former post
master general, will be among the
guests at the dinner to be given by
the Reform club at the Waldorf on
saturday evening, April "a Between
5000 and 5000 leading Democrats will
attend and the affair is likely to make
democratic history. In connection
with this gathering it is proposed to
hold a conference of gold standard
Democrats in this city. Invitations
are being sent out to leaders of the gold
faction in the various states and the
conference, it is expected, will last for
two days. 1t will be held in Chicken
ing hall April % and "a.
The gold Democrats are beginning to
realize that the whole free silver issue
has got to be fought out again within
their own party and they are getting
ready to organize for the battle. The
leaders of the gold Democratic move
ment in this and other cities have been
in correspondence for week with ref
erence to the advisability of having a
demonstration here at an early day
which shall show that they are not
dead yet and that they are going to
meet the issue which is still being
forced upon them. The approaching
dinner of the Reform club will give
them an opportunity for this demon

SHUT UP SEVEN HOURS
In an Air Tight Compartment Ensign
Stone Nearly Loses His Life.

New York, April 6.-For seven hours
Ensign G. L. P. Stone of the coast de-
fense battle ship Puritan fought for air
and life in water-tight compartment
of that vessel last Saturday. The story
of his narrow escape from death by
asphyxiatiOn in the foul atmosphere
was told today for the first time.
The ensign was placed in charge of a
squad of five men detailed to descend
into the double bottom of the Puritan
and inspect and clean it. When the
men came out they closed all the hatch
es, not knowing that Stone had been
left behind in one of the compartments.
Seven hours later man heard a faint
tapping on one of the matches. He lis
tened and it was repeated more family.
He reported it and then it was realized
that it might have come from Stone
who had been missing for sometime.
The screws were removed and the
hatch lifted. At the very mouth of the
opening they saw the white, upturned
face Of the ensign. He had pressed his
lips close to the metal cover of his
prison in his efforts to obtain fresh air
He was half unconscious, but still had
sufficient presence of mind to cling to
the ladder In one hand, tightly grip
ped. was a shoe which he had removed
and it was with this that he had rap
ped for hours on the ceiling of his cell

HARRISON LEADS.
Indications Point to Election of
Free Silver Candidate,
Carter Harrison II, as Mayor
Of Chicago.
BETS IN HIS FAVOR.
Independent Candidate Harlan
Captures the Swedes.
POpulists Working for Harri-
son at the Polls.

Chicago, April 6.-With raw, threat
ening weather, one of the liveliest
mayoralty contests ever seen in Chi
eago is taking place today. OF the
seven candidates in the field, four are
considered to have at least a fighting
chance for election. They are Carter
II. Harrison, regular Democrat; Judge
Nathaniel Sears, regular Republican;
Washington Hesing, gold Democrat and
business mems nominee, and John NJ.
Harlan, Citizen Independent. On ac-
count of the strong fight which has
been made against the so-called Re
publican machine, it is conceded that
both Hesing and Harlan will draw
heavily from Sears strength.
Harrison is running on a wide open"
platform and is expected to receive
nearly all of the free silver vote. He
issues have been ignored almost entire
ly by all the candidates.
Voting was light during the early
morning, but grew heavier as the day
wore on, and long lines formed at many
of the polling places, with the excep-
ton of the tenement house districts.
Voting as a rule progressed slowly, in
dicating that considerable scratching
was being done.
orders to close all saloons and the rule
was rigidly enforced, several saloon
keepers who opened their doors being
arrested Immediately.
Harlan, Independent, developed un-
expected strength in the Swedish dis
tricts of the Thirteenth ward and also
in the stock yards districts. A pretty
aldermanic contest is going on in the
Twelfth ward, where Jim Campbell
is up for reelection. The Municipal
Voters league, the reform OrganiZa-
ton which is trying to reconstruct the
city council, is making it's most bitter
fight against him and confidently ex-
poets to defeat him. Campbell, if
elected, hopes to be chairman of the
finance committee of the city council.
Six or eight thousand POpulists under
the direction of the Harrison campaign
committee are acting as watchers at
the polls to see that every Populist vote
is cast for Harrison. They are fur
nished with badges and certificates
from the board of election commission
ers.
This afternoon reports from all over
the city indicated a total vote of be-
tween 275, 900 and 290, 900. The vote
last fall was a little over 354 900.
GalesDurg, Ill, April 6.-The annual
municipal election is in progress today.
The day is cloudy and threatening and
a light vote will be poIled. Two tick
cts are in the field, Republican and In
dependent. Indications point to a. Re-
publican victory.

MORE ORGANIZATION.
Building and Loan Associations to
Form q Union.

Chicago, April 6.-Fifty secretaries of
the building and loan associations rep
resenting thousands of depositors and
millions of capital, met at the Sherman
house last evening. They gathered to
devise a plan which would prevent fur
ther defalcation of officers and restore
public confidence in building and loan
associations
It was unanimously agreed that the
recent troubles reflected no diScredit on
building associations as such and that
more stringent legislation and ecOnOmi-
cal administration of affairs would pre-
vent a recurrence of the recent failures.
AS a first step to bring about better
state of affairs, it was decided to organ
ize federation of societies, and a COM
mittee was appointed to draft a cOnSti-
tuition and bylaws for such an organi-
zatiOn.
A number of the secretaries present
favored an association OF the societies
on the lines of the bankers clearing
house, governed by a sort of board of
control to which no society would be
admitted except after a thorough exam
inatiOn of it's standing.

By the HiIImon Insurance Com
panieS for His Action
INSULTING THEM OUT
Similar Suits Will Probably Be
Brought.
Companies Open Up With Grape
and Canister.
McNalI, as Yet, Shows No Sign
of Fear.

The fight between Insurance Commits
sioner Webb McNall and the life insur-
ance companies took another turn to-
day, when the New York Mutual Life
Insurance company, one of those ex-
cluded from the state by Superinten-
dent McNan, commenced suit for S2O,-
900 damages in the United States cir
cult court against Mr.. McNan and his
bondsmen.
The suit is brought by Gleed, Ware &
Gleed, Geo. J. Barker, J. w. Green and
and w R. Smith as attorneys for the
company, and Mr.. Gleed said this after
noon that similar suits will probably
be brought by the two other companies
interested, the New York Life and Con-
necticut Mutual
The petition filed charges that Super
intendent McNaH excluded the New
York Mutual from the state for the
purpose of forcing the collection of the
contingent fee" by the attorneys in
the HilmOn case. It characteIizes the
Hillmon suit as fraudulent and SAYS
that the superintendent, McNalI, is a
close personal friend of the attorneys
for Mrs Hillmon.
It is charged that McNaH acted
WrOngfully, and for that reason his
bondsmen are sued. The company has
been kept out of Kansas since March
and it is claimed that $4,000 in profits
were lost in consequence. The cOmpa-
ny says that it has been compelled to
support a large number of agents in
the state since the order went into ef-
feet, and this item of expense is placed
at $4,000. The balance of $1,000 claimed
is for lapses in policies and other incOn-
veniences the company has been put to
because of McNalPs action.
The suit is brought against the fol-
lowing parties: Webb McNau, W. H.
Haskell, Geo. R. Parker, Henry Will
