AFRIDIS
HUMBLED.

LONDON, Dec. 2S.-A dispatch from
Peshawur says: The British columns
have returned from Khyber pass after
Furnishing, with slight opposition, the
Zakka-Khels in the Bazar valley. Mil
itary operations on the frontier are
now concluded. Every Afridi and
Orakzai valley has been visited. 1t
now appears that the enemy's loss has
been more severe than was at first be-
lieved, and out of all proportion to It's
possible fighting strength. Their trade
with our centers for the necessaries Of
life has been closed, and their autumn
tillage prevented. The complete sub
mission of the Orakzais is now ac-
ccmplished Many hitherto unknown
strategical frontier routes have been
surveyed and mapped out. The vaunt-

pressed the belief that the Dinglev

as to the present. Why? Because
previous to the enactment of the
Dingley law millions and millions of
dollars in products, made by foreign
hands, were sent into this country.
Foreigners know the best friend to
them was the Wilson bill, and it's doom
was sealed by the Republican con-
gress. After these products, sent to US
by the swiftest ships which plough
the seas, are consumed, we shall have
sufficient revenue from the Dingley
bill. The bill will vindicate itself. 1t
will speak more eloquently for Itself
than any Republican can speak for It,"
On the subject of currency reform
Senator Fairbanks spoke as follows:
Our Democratic friends say to the
old Democrats, the Republican party
will not keep faith with US; when tha
Republicans declared in favor of sound
money at st. Louis they did not mean
it, The Republican party, with Nc
Kinley as our leader, intends to keep
faith, to preserve the gold standard

Message From the President
to the Republicans of
Indiana.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Dec. 2S.-Five
hundred representatives of the Repub-
lican party of Indiana, outside of tha
city of Indianapolis, attended today's
conference. The meeting was for talk
and little else, and was the largest
off-year meeting the party ever held.
The meeting was held a little later
in the year in order that the senators
from the state and the Republican
representatives might be here, and
they all came. The influential men In
the party were encouraged by the state
ments of the senators that there is
hope for currency reform, not radical
legislation, but such as will tend to
set the party right before the people.
The unanimity of the party In the
state on the position that the currency
must be reformed was a surprise to
good many of the men attending the
conference. The Democrats, 1t was
averred, will declare for free silver in
their next state platform, and the Re-
publicans WILL of course. take the op-

PIPE ORGAN BURNED.
"Hot Time" the Last Tune Played
Upon the Instrument.

CHICAGO. Dec. 2S.-A fire late this
afternoon destroyed the large pipe or
gan in the office of the Great North
ern hotel entailing a loss of $4,000
upon the managers of the hotel. Al
though the fire was confined entirely
to the organ, it sent out such clouds
of smoke that many of the guests be-
came alarmed. and serious panic was
narrowly averted. The Searle & Hart
company, of this city was banqueting
its employees when the fire broke out,
and the feasters were compelled to
adjourn their banquet in a hurry.
Later, when the fire was out, they
resumed their feasting. By curious
coincidence the last air played by the
organ before its destruction was

from Havana stating that the Autono-
