For the Revolution to Begin at
Once.
Says His Wife May Be Called to
Mourn His Death
By the Rope as the Chicago An
archists We're Hung.

St. Louis, Mo-, Sept. 2.-Eugene v
Debs spoke for one hour last night to
500 people assembled at National hall,
under the auspices of the Social De-
mocracy.
1t was a redhot revolutionary talk, in
which the newspapers, corporations,
capitalists, courts and the whole sys-
te mof government was arraigned, con-
demned and ridiculed. He said in
part:
The supreme court of the United
States is a breeder of revolution. and a
tenn of government was arraigned, con-
walking side by side and fighting for
the cause of humanity.
Il am anxious; I am ready. The time
is ripe and it is coming sure
The speaker then lauded the anarch-
lists who were hanged at Chicago and
said that some day his wife may
mourn his loss, as did the widows of
those four men. ''They are martyrs
and the time will come when the world
will pay tribute to their names and
memories he added.
Mr. Debs then launched into an at
tack upon capital and capitalists and
asserted that it was his purpose to dis
possess them of the property amassed
al the expense of labor.

WEYLER DIGS POTATOES.
Leads a Campaign Against Cuba's
POTATO CrOIl.

Havana, Sept. 2.-Ffve thousand of
proud Spain's soldiers, commanded by
blue blooded Castilian officers, down on
vines, is not an edifying spectacle, yet
that is what General Weyler and his
troops are doing since they left the cap
ital last Sunday. General Weyler's S
idea is to cut off the food supply of the
rebels.
From the outskirts of Havana to Ia
paste, where he is at present, General
Weyler has cut a swath of destruction.
Every horse and COW in sight has been
seized and growing crops uprooted.
Some military commanders would
simplify matters by destroying the reb-
els first, but that is not Weyler's plan.
The food supply that the Cubans can
always depend upon is sweet potatoes.
These grow wild in abundance and the
crop natures quickly. For these rea-
sons the captain general is personally
conducting the campaign against the
potatoes

controversy between the corporation
and President Andrews The letter is
as follows:
Boston, Mass, Aug. 5. 1897.
Prof Benjamin F. Clarke, J. Franklin
Jameson, Henry 3. Gardner and
Others:
Gentlemen-I think you heartily for a
pamphlet copy of a letter bearing your
signatures and entitled AN open letter
addressed to the corporation of Brown
university, by members of the faculty
of that institution Nothing could be
better in matter or manner. 1t presents S
the grave issues raised by the unfortun-
ate action of the corporation with sin
gular lucidity and logical force, and
deals with them in temper and spirit
which are in every way adnlira BILE.
You may know do not agree with what
L understand to be DIR. Andrews views
respecting the free COMA gs of silver. 1
strongly deprecate the action of the cor
porat ton, indeed, upon the precise
ground that nothing could be better
calculated to give currency and weight
to- those views-just as nothing could
give a grea ter impetus to the cause of
tariff reform than an attempt by the
authorities of Harvard college to disci-
pline President Eliot for his well known
sentiments respecting free trade" The
true objection, however, to the course
pursued towards DR.. Andrews by the
corporation of Brown university is it's
implied inculcationS of the doctrine that
an institution of learning should, above
all things, get rich, and therefore should
square its teachings and limit the ut
terances of its faculty by the interests
and sentiments of those who for the
time being, are the rich men of the
community. The demoralizing and de-
grading character of this doctrine your
letter fully exposes and thereby entities
you to the gratitude not only of Ameri-
can citizens generally, but of all well
wisherS of Brown university in partic-
ular- 1 remain, with great respect,
yours very truly,

STILL EXPLAINING.
Information Being Sent Out About
Indian Financial Affairs.

London. Sept. 2.-The present is not
the first time that the India council has
suspended the sale of bills of exchange
on India.
1t was done in 1882 and 1893, but in
neither case was gold shipped to In
dia-
The present suspension does not cause
surprise, it being occasioned by heavy
expenditures in connection with the
frontier troubles. 1t is probable that
a gold loan, for which the power al
ready exists will be issued in London
in order to replenish the Indian treas
ury. No other important effect of the
action taken by the council is expected,
the general belief being that little gold
will be remitted to India.

Of all the war dramas ever presented
Bronson Howard's "Shenandoah" is un-
dOubtedly the best. 1t is certain that
no play has been seen in the last ten years
and enjoyed by more people than has this
one. IL is true picture of the events OF
the late war between the North and South
aud has beautiful love story running
through il that is intensely interesting.
The play II especially interesting to the
Grand Army veterans, who never miss an
opportunity Of witnessing it. Commenc-
ing Monday, May II, it will be seen at
Ksith's Opera House, Providence, and it is
sure 70 be literally patronized.
