ALTGELD's PARTY UNITED
He Says There is No Division in the
Democratic Ranks.

Chicago, Ill, Oct. 22.-'I do not know
just what you mean by the silver Democ-
racy," said Ex-Governor AItgeld today,
in answer to a question regarding the fu-
ture of his party. 'I will say, however,
that the great Democratic party of this
country is going right along on the lines
laid down in the platform of 1896, and is
1rmer in faith. more buoyant in spirit
and more eager for the fight than it ever
was before.
There is no division in the Democratic
party. There are a few men who are, in
one way or another, connected with cor
poratiOns, and cater to the men that con-
troll corporate and mOnopolistic interests,
and these men seem to feel that they can
serve the monopolies better by calling
themselves gold Democrats than they
could if they We're in the ranks of the
Republican party, where they really be-
long. We cannot deny them this privi-
lege, but they have more in common with
Mark Hanna and his Doodle Republican
machine than they have with Democratic
principles.
You will notice that the corruptionists
of this country. the bribers of this coun-
try and the men who direct those forces
that are destroying our institutions and
ensIaving our people, all work together
And they control the Republican party
with it's annex-the so-calIed gold Demo-
Gratis.
ION the other hand, the men who are
endeavoring to arrest this tide of corrup-
ton and restore the American people to
their political inheritance and to put an
end to the financial system that has ruin
ed our country and devastated the world,
are getting closer and closer together and
constitute the great party of the people
which last year cast 6,5OO,o00 votes"

cued by Consul General Lee from a
threatening Imprisonment similar to
that from which Miss CisnerOs has just
escaped, and who, as a political exile,
is now making her home in New York,
has been for some time earnestly en-
deavOring to organize a relief commit
tee for supplying clothing to the suffer
ing insurgents and their families. Last
night a meeting was called at No 50
West Ninety-third street, the home of
the late Cuban artist and large num-
Der of Cuban patriots met with the
view of organizing a club
The object is to make known the en-
tirely destitute state of the men who
have for so long maintained the strug-
gle for liberty and to raise subscrip-
tiOnS, and especially to solicit cOntribu-
tions which may be sent at once to the
Cuban army.

is what is asked for, and anything
which can be of use to men, women
and children, Will be gratefully accept
ed.

HOW TO SALUTE THE FLAG
Dispute Between the Board of Visi-
tors to the Naval Academy and
Captain Cooper.

Washington. Oct. 22.-The board of
visitors to the Naval Academy and
Captain Cooper. the superintendent are
not agreed as to the proper method
that should be employed by officers
and cadets in saIuting the national flag
at ''cOIorS."
The board in its annual report, rec
commended that the flag be saluted by
removing the cap, instead of simply
touching it, as at present Captain
Cooper. in his report, says that this is
not military and would be ridiculous
1t would be all very we'll, he says, for
civilians to uncover upon such Occa-
sions, but for military and naval men
to remove their headgear when in uni
form would be incongruous and con-
trary to all military practice. He asks
Secretary Long to continue in force the
present regulations, which, Captain
Cooper believes, provides the only
proper salute for the flag by the naval
service.

WILL TRY INJUNCTION.
That Method to be Invoked in the
Coal Mining Regions

Some of the miners of southeastern
Kansas who furnished evidence that mine
owners are violating the new law provid-
ing that miners shall not be paid in scrip,
to County Attorney Wildly of Cherokee
county, have been summarily discharged
by the mine owners, and now the men are
frightened 10 such extent that they
will accept the scrip rather than take
chances on losing their positions by COM
planning to the county attorney.
The attorney general and the county
attorney of Cherokee and Crawford coun-
ties have decided to make an effort to
reach by an injunction a practice which
they cannot stop by prosecution and to
accomplish this there will be filed in the
supreme court within a few days an ap-
plication for an injunction against all
mine owners, restraining them from pay
ing their employees in scrip.
Violation of the law is said to be quite
general in southeastern Kansas.

Millers Announce That They are
Much Pleased With It

Washington, Oct. 22-ConsuI General
Hurst of Vienna has made a special re-
port to the state department concerning
the outlook for American grain in Austro-
Hungary. He says the abnormal weather
in June and July affected the crops and
caused widespread loss. especially in AL
freld, the richest grain producing region.
In good years Hungary derives the prin-
cipal part of its income from the export
alton of grain, Austria being a large pur-
chaser of Hungarian grain. The short
age in Hungary is estimated as fol-
lows:
Wheat, 27.7s7,5OO bushels; rye. 1882, 500
bushels; barley, s,233, ,S33 bushels; oats, s.
e14.6S9 bushels.
The Vienna Exchange has purchased
grain from abroad to meet the fall de-
mand. In September !. .S34 OO5 bushels had
been imported, chiefly from America, and
American rye has already been purchased
for delivery in Austria. These supplies
come from Rotterdam and Antwerp.
where are situated the great granaries
controlled by international grain mer-
chants who buy from transoceanic
sources and sell to continental custom
ers.
Varying reports have been heard from
Russia, but the best authorities say there
will be little surplus for export from
Russia after the home demand is sup
piled. There has been much speculation
on the bourses of Vienna and Buda Pest.
and. in order to avoid this, millers have
decided to buy abroad. at prices which
are kept secret at present MilIers are
not very wen acquainted with foreign
wheat, but good results have been arrived
at already with Kansas wheat. Austrian
milIers have always found a ready mar
ket for their flour, but it now appears
that American -four can compete with
Austrian flour.
1t is believed, says the consul general,
that the abolition OF the tariff on wheat
in France would have a great effect on
the prices of American wheat, and the
