who has been strongly solicited to
run for representative of this coun
ty, both by his neighbors and peo-
pie living in this part of the county;

of. Mr.. Mcbride tells us should he
be elected, he will do his very best
to please the people in the way he
places his vote, and will ever listen

the county. We ask our democratic
friends to give Mr.. McBrides candi
dacy a prayful attention.

ADDRESS ISSUED.

National Democrats Are Advised to
Settle Local Problems Themselves.
INDIANAPOLIS, Oct. 16.-The Ma
tional Democratic committee issued an
address today, in part as follows:

called protection, which, in it's last
analysis, involves the spoliation of the
many for the benefit of the few.
is dishonest, and that 1t directly
and inevitably breeds trusts. mo-
nopolies and those special privileges
by which the cunning and unscrupu-
lous prey on their unsuspecting and
credulous fellow citizens. The protec-
tive tax is not only dishonest and op-
pressive, but it obstructs that free and
natural interchange Of commodities
which would increasingly tend to les
sen the cost of the necessities and
comforts OF life to our wage-earning
classes. 1t has destroyed our merchant
navy. 1t has practically driven our
flag from the seas, and has forced US
into the humiliating necessity of pay

1t is folly to think of securing foreign
markets, unless we are willing to trade
with foreign countries. With the sit
uation as it exists in some of the va
rious states we have no province to
interfere. The National Democrats Of
each state must solve their local prob
lens In such way as may seem to
them most likely to insure the tri-
umphs of the principles for which the
national organization stands, and to
the maintenance of which it Is solemn

wish for no rewards, except those that
flow from the consciousness of duty
done. Our principles. the gold stand

nue. only, civil service reform, rigid
economy in the administration of the
government, the maintenance of law
and order, freedom Of contract, and the
protection of all contract rights, must

republic is to be perpetuated. In be-

DISASTERS IN ORIENT.

OsuaI Casualties Reported by the
Tacoma, Arriving From China.
TACOMA, Wash, Oct 16.-According
to advices brought by the steamship
Tacoma from China, a band Of despera
does, numbering 1000, headed by band
of Manchus, took possession Of the gold
mines at Manarin and are hindering
Russian railway developments. An I'D
rising has occurred in Hainan, China,
and the American consul has been be-
sought to protect the American mis-
sionaries. The uprising was melted by
a band Of pirates. Soldiers have been
sent to the scene.
Floods in Japan have done great dam
ege to crops and many lives have been
lost. Aichi prefecture, which seems to
have suffered most, lost thirty-five
houses washed away, 1900 overthrown,
40 partly wrecked, 412 injured and
$500 inundated. Seven lives were lost.
Twelve hundred acres of land were
flooded.

HAVANA FEVER HOSPITAL.
Army Surgeons Report That There
Is Urgent Need for One.

HAVANA, Oct. 16-Drs. Lane and
O'Reilly have made a report to the
surgeon general insisting upon the i'm
| mediate esta blishment of an American
fever hospital here. The existing hos
ritals do not isolate yellow fever pa
tients, and the result is that if a person
suffering from any other complaint is
removed to the hCsri al he runs the risk
OF contracting the fever. This was the
case With Stenograher Dalber, Of the
American evacuation commission, who
is suffering from maIarial fever. His
next door neighbor Is i'll with a fever
Of different character
Gel. Clous has received q plan of
every fortification on the island, each
one signed personally by Gen. Blanco
These plans had been required by our
commissioners ever since their arrival,
but were not delivered until yesterday.
The transportation commission has be-
gun work on the plans for the extension
Of the railroad to the camp at GUIANA
bacOa, which will be the first to be got
ready. They have asked for bids and
laborers are being employed to push
the work actively.
Gel. Waring has found Havana dir
tier than he anticipated. He says it
will be necessary to tear open the
streets and lay drainage pipes and
sewers. He sees no reason to fear an
epidemic, as there was no spread of
disease when the streets were opened
recently to lay water pipes. He is
greatly satisfied with the excellence Of
HaVana's water supply.
Industry and commerce continue at
a standstill. Many planters and mer-
chants who recently returned here an
ticipa ting an early resumption of busi-
ness are going abroad again to wait
until affairs are settled in Cuba, as
they do not dare embark in business
ventures or risk a cent IN the present
unsatisfactory and indefinite condition
of political affairs on the island. In the
meantime the county daily grows pc Or
er. The sugar and tobacco crops are
Ursown.
That the condition Of the Cubans is
not so desperate or black as is painted,
outside the fact that they are short Of
rations, is confirmed by Col. Rowan
and Lieut.. Parker, who have crossed
the island five times, and have visited
every insurgent camp in the island.
The day has passed very quietly in
every quarter. 1t is reported that the
Spanish evacuation commissioners have
handed the American commissioners a
note giving the names and number Of
Spanish transports now on the way to
Cuba. 1t is understood that there are
tWenty-Seven.
The general health of the various
United States commissioners and their
respective staffs is excellent.

afternoon and discussed the question of

the meeting; Bishop Samuel Fallows
led in the recital of the Lords Prayer,
and Rev. DR.. Jenkins Lloyd In the
Scripture reading.
The first address was by Rabbi Emil
Hirsch's reference to territorial acqui-
sition, when he said: CONSTITUTIONAL
not colonial, dependency must be the
word of the nation in regard to coun-
tries rescued from Spanish rule"
Rev. Thomas Horne1l, a Catholic
priest, caught the fancy and applause
Of the audience by repeated references
to Dewey. Sampson and SchIey and the
rough riders. At the conclusion of his
address DIR. Hornell raised much en-
thusiasm by philippe against "the
growing influence Of monopoly and the
increase in the power Of unjust cor
poratfons."
One of the most stirring speeches Of
the evening was made by Rev. John
Henry Barrows, who took a firm stand
in favor Of the retention Of the Philip
pines.
Booker T. Washington was the next
speaker. He said in part:
1ulS country mas DSen ulOSC
nate in her wars. She has been twice
matched against England and has won.
She has met a storm Of rebellion. She
has faced the proud Spaniard and he
lies prcstrate at her feet. All this Is
well. 1t is magnificent. But there re-
mains one other victory for Americans
to win, victory as far-raaching and as
important as any that has occupied
Cur navy and army. We have succeed
ed in the conflict, except in the COM
plete blOtting out among ourselves of
racial prejudices. We can, celebrate
the era of peace in no more fitting man
ner than the Union Of Northern men
and Southern men, black men and
white men, that the trenches which we
together dug around Santiago shall be
the eternal burial place of all that
which separates us in our business and
civil relations. Let us be as generous
in peace as we have been brave in bat
tie. Until we thus conquer ourselves
I make no empty statement when
say that we shall have, especially in
the Southern part Of our country, a
sore gnawing at the heart Of this re-
public that shall one day prove as dan
gerous as an attack from an army from
without or within.
'In this presence and ON this auspi-
cuous occasion, l want to repeat the
deep gratitude of nearly 10000, 900 of our
people to our wise, patient and brave
chief executive for the generous man
ner in which my race has been recog-
nized during this conflict. A recognition

CAMPAIGN is LAGGING.
The Republicans Are Worried by
the Apathy Shown in New York.

The Republicans Are Worried by
the Apathy Shown in New York.
NEW YORK, Oct 16.-Col. Theodore
Roosevelt's canvass for the governor
ship is tagging. This is admitted by
Republicans with alarm and heralded
by Democrats with JOY. To all outward
signs the Republican campaign is at a
standstiill. To all outward signs it has
been at a standstill since the Saratoga
convention.
The day Col. Roosevelt was nomi-
mated his election was regarded by the
public as certain, and the Republican
state committee decided to keep him
bottled up" A doubt arose when the
Syracuse convention adjourned and 1t
was seen that Judge Van Wyck, against
whose reputation and character moth
ing could be said, had been nominated
for governor, and that each of the
other state candidates had been locat-
ed in some doubtful section to fan the
fires Of Republican disaffection.
The Democrats have been making an
aggressive campaign. The party has
suddenly become united, and that
union is quite as perfect as in 1892 This
unity exists throughout the state and
Is very complete in the city. The ex-
hibition Of Judge Gaynor, Edward M
Shepard and Hugh Mclaughlin on the
same platform Is one Of many evi-
dences of this. The Democrats are
claiming $4,000 plurality for Van Wyck
in New York county, $4,000 in Kings
and 1000 in Richmond. This means
10000 to be overcome on the city line.
How badly the Republican campaign
is tagging is shown by the fact that
the Republican county committee here
has not done thing. The chairman,
Mr.. Quigg, is an invalid and is interest
ed in his own reelection to congress.
| The only activity Is in his own district,
where twenty meetings a night are be-
! ing arranged. Col. Roosevelt's friends
are beginning to say that if Tammany
does not get $4,000 in this county it
won't be the machines fault.
1t is the knowledge Of these things
in this city that is making the betting
even. And 1t is no answer to this for
Republicans to say the betting Is for
| political effect.

PLOT WAS IMPORTANT.
The Plans for the Killing OF Emper-
Or William Well Matured.

LONDON, Oct. 16-The Alexandra
correspondent Of the Daily Mail, tele-
graphing regarding the anarchistic
plot against the life of Emperor Will
lam, which was discovered on Fri
day, says: ''The plot against the kali
ser is hourly proving more important,
each arrest disclosing new ramifca-
tions. The documents found disclosed
a plot to kill the emperor that was we'll
matured. Fifteen persons, all Italians,
have been arrested.
THE original plan was to throw
bomb Of gun cotton and illuminate Of
mercury on Emperor Williams car

When the. Egyptian trip was abandon

by the conspirators to send confeder-
ates to Jerusalem to carry out the plot

eral schooners loaded with coal for the
fleet. Demurrage expenses being. very
heavy, the senior officer, Capt Chester,
ordered sheds to be built on shore so
that the vessels might unload, thus
making temporary coaling depot. This
act has raised a tremendous hubbub
among the Cubans, and is one reason
given by the Cuban general Perez for
not disbanding his troops. He claims
that the Americans have no right to
establish a coaling station without the
permission Of the Cuban government.
1t is generally believed at Santiago,
among the Cubans, that his promise
to disband was only a scheme to OBJ
tain rations for himself and his troops
by pretending TO go to work, whereas
now he makes several excuses for not

MADRID, Oct. 16.-La Epoca, the
Conservative organ, reneWs the gug-
gestion of La Correspondence Qnde-
pendent and semi-officiaD regarding ar
bttration between the United States
and Spain. 1t says:
1.-The negotiations at present are go
ing on without touching the question of
the Philippines. Owing to the vague
ness and lack of clearness OF the pro-
tccol, the commissioners are meeting
with serious difficulties. It has been
said that, If our adversaries are obsti-
nate in their exaggerated demands,
Senor Sagasta should address the Euro
pean governments asking arbitration,
at least upon the points upon which
an arrangement could not be reached,
but In view Of the political struggles
and the tone Of lingo press in the
United States, which asserts the right
Of the conqueror to all acquired terri
tory taken, it is safe to say that such
a proposition would be without avail"

RED CROSS RELIEF.
The Surgeon General of the Opinion
1t Is No Longer Needed.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 16.-The follow
Ing letter from the surgeon general Of
the army was written In reply to one
sent to the president by A. F. Orr, vice
chairman of the Red Cross relief COM
mittee:
"In answer to Jour question as to Why tho
Intervention of the Red Cross relief COM
mttee should be no longer needed and why
the government does not see to 1t that it's
own sick are provided for I will say the
emergencies of the war made the assistance
OF the relief associations invaluable notWith-
standing the fact that it is the intention Of
the government to provide literally for the
sick and wounded. But as you know govern
ment supplies cannot be always provided at
the proper time and place to meet an emer-
gency. Moreover, at the outset of the war
the arrangements made for providing light
diet for the sick, which had proved satisfac-
tory in time of peace, under the supervision
of competent medical officers, were made
Quate to the conditions which prevailed in
our camps Of instruction and among the
troops engaged in active service. For this
purpose the presence Of Red Cross agents
with their abundant supply Of delicacies for
the sick and wounded have been Of inestima-
bic value. But provision has been made by a
proclamation by which surgeons in hospitals
are able to draw 60 cents per day for each
sick enlisted man of the army In lieu of his
regular ration.
"You will, no doubt agree with me that
go cents a day for the raw material from
which to prepare a proper diet for the sick
Is most liberal provision. The experience
Of medical officers shows that 1t is not only
ample, but excessive and that for sick men.
living for the most part upon milk, weak
soups and farinaceous food this amount is
much in excess of any reasonable require
ment.
Under these circumstances I think that
those patriotic and liberal citizens who have
contributed so freely of their money and time
to aid in the care of our sick soldiers may
now leave the matters in the hands of the
government without any apprehension as to
the result I"
