wisconsin Democrats
(From the Chicago Chronicle. }

There is a greater degree of activity among
the Democrats of Wisconsin than has been wit
messed in many years. Even in the Democratic
years 1890 and 1892 there was less rivalry for
nominations the ticket for State Offices than
is now apparent Such acrimOny is displayed IN
consequence OF indiscreet utte:ances by a few
leaders But there is no such fight of factions a.
the Republican press describes. and nothing like
the bitterness and malignity expressed by the
Republicans at their State convention two weeks
ago,

SUPPLIES AT HAVANA.
Question of Landing the Provisions
on the ComeI Unsettled.

on the ComeI Unsettled.
Assistant Secretary Of War Meiklejohn
said this morning that the question of
the landing of the Government supplies
OF the Comel now at Havana was still
unsettled. Two propositions were made
10 the department Saturday, the first.
that ihe United States pay duty on the
one million rations and let the officers
of the United States distribute them; the
other, that the Spaniards pay the duty
and distribute the rations themselves.
The second proposition was considered by
the department and refused absolutely,
as it was Illegal.
Mr.. Meiklejohn said today that the
stores would be distributed by United
States officers or The Comel would return
10 the United States with her supplies.

Chaplain DudIey's Defense.

Chaplain Dudley, of the District regi-
ment. who is home on leave. preached
for the first time since the departure of
the regiment for the front, at St. Steph-
ems Church yesterday morning.
In the evening he left for Harpers Fer
ry where he will stay until the arrival of
the regiment in this city when he will
march up the Avenue with it.
Chaplain Dudley denies the charges
that some of the men of the regiment
make against him as 10 his disposition
of the money placed in his hands by the
members Of the District Volunteers Re-
lief Association. Il am very much sur
prised to hear of the charges that have
| been made against me- DR.. Dudley told
| a reporter for The Times.
| Il certainly tried to do my duty 10 the
! regiment in my capacity OF chaplain,
| and am very sorry that any of the men
| should find fault with the manner in
| which 1t was done II '. ould be difficult
| to please all the men in command like
| the District Regiment, but / have done
| my best. Our regiment has the finest set
| of officers of any regiment in the field
| and our men are men to be proud of.
II am glad to have been able 10 be
| among them and will never regret the
time spent in the field with them.
| The charges made aginSt me come, no
| doubt, from the same source as the mur-
murings heard from time to time against
| the line officers. The boys have had moth
| ing to do but to loaf for some time and
| their deplorable condition was ever up
pormost in their minds. When in such a
| condition they are likely TO think of any
| thing and feel that they have been seri-
| ously maltreated. While in Cuba most
of my time spent in going between
| the camp and Santiago doing what
| could for their comfort and attending tC
| the mails
| The amount of money l received from
| the Relief Association was $50, which
seems big sum, but when 1t is used to
| buy necessaries for l,000 men it does not
seem half so large. The charge that
misappropriated any of the fund is lie.
! as is also the statement that some of the
money was used in the officers mess.
Il sent the money as conscientiously as
| / could, most of it going for tobacco and
| ice for the troops. l made a report of
my expenditures to Mrs North, secre-
| tary of the association
| This being a legal holiday, the office of
| Mr.. John Joy Edison was closed, and no
new subscriptions to the reception fund
were announced. The amount subscribed
| so far is s2lS7.

YELLOW FEVER ROUTED.
Not Case at Santiago in the Past go
Days.

Santiago de Cuba, Nov. General
Leonard Wood, governor of the military
department of Santiago, authorizes the
statement that there has not been
case of yellow fever in Santiago
city during the last so days, and
that the ordinary sickness during the
some period has been 80 per cent less
than usual at this season of the year.
In view of the fact that a good many
people have been unnecessarily fright
ened by fictitious tales of suffering, Gen.
Wood asks that hereafter all applicants
to the various societies for aid be re-
ferred to him.
If the case is really needy he will en-
dOrse the application. Gen. Wood does
not wish to be understood as saying
that no private assistance is wanted in
Santiago. On the contrary, much will
still be needed though the present sup
ply is ample for present emergencies.
He warmly cOmmends the Red Cross
society for continuous help and for sup
plies which under the direction of Off
GERS appointed by him have been effec-
lively distributed.
The United States transport Victor,
which leaves tomorrow for the United
States will carry number of sick to
Hampton Roads and New York city.
She will also take the bodies of a num-
Der of United States soldiers killed in
action. These have been placed in
hermetically. sealed collins.
Santiago newspapers are asking Gen.
Wood to appoint a civilian as mayor of
the city and he will probably designate
Senior Leonardo KOS, who was mayor
under the Spanish regime and was ap-
pointed by Gen. Shafter the first civil
governor after the American occupa-
ton, holding the office for several weeks.
Senior Rios is Cuban by birth. Form
erly he was an autOnomist, but at pres
eht he is apparently Identified with the
extremist section of the Cuban party.
A representative negro has written a
letter to Gen. Wood demanding that the
negroes, who. he says, constitute a large
majority of the population of the pro-
vince, shall be given their rights and
announcing his intention to form a la
Dor party composed of blacks.
A party that will labor is really what
is wanted here, Gen. Wood asserting
that if the people of the district will not
work he will authorize the immigrat ton
of foreign miners and Workmen. Mat
tiers can not remain longer at a stand

FROM COMING HERE
There Have Been Three Deaths
Up to This Time.

Washington, Nov. 2.-The Marine hos
pitaI service has received through the
state department a dispatch from
United States Consul General Hurst at
Vienna, stating that three deaths have
occurred there from bubonic plague and
there are now six cases in the city and
these are all hospital attendants. Mr..
Hurst adds that the infection of emf
grants is improbable.
DR.. Wyman, surgeon general of the
marine hospital service, says that no
unusual delays to the landing at New
York of immigrants from Austria
Hungary are contemplated. The con-
sui at the ports of departure will ex-
anime each emigrant before he is all
lowed to go aboard ship and if he comes
from the infected district his baggage
will be disinfected and every other pre-
caution taken to prevent the spread of
the disease. In no case will an emil
grant be allowed to proceed If there is
any reason to believe that he has been
in contact with the infection. DR.. Wy
man is of the opinion that there is little
or no danger of the plague being
brought to this country through emf
grants or otherwise.

WITH SONG AND DANCE.
Four PenniIess Colored Lads See Eng
land and Have Money to Burn.

New York, Nov. 2.-Daniel Hankinson.
Henry Hankinson, ''Vone" Maxson and
George Harris, four colored lads of Ma
taWan, n. J., returned on Friday from a
two months trip, having, without mon
ey, visited all the principal cities OF
England and Canada and many OF the
cities of the United States.
Daniel Hankinson, the Oldest of the
quartet, told this story:
I'VE were tired Of life around here
and agreed that we would try our chan
ces of seeing something of the void to-
gether. We could all either play mu-
steal instruments or sing, and we
thought that we could pick up enough
money to make our way around. L had
had heard stories that cOlOred men
were well treated in England and told
the fellows about it, and we agreed to
go there
The boys went to New York on Aug.
Is and slowed away on the steamship
Georgian, which sailed that night. When
they were driven from their hiding pIa-
ces by hunger they were put to work
tending cattle.
I'VE landed at Liverpool said Han
knson. I'VE had a little money and
had given a concert on board the boat
which had netted a few dollars. Max
son played the banjo, Harris the viO-
lin, Henry the guitar and I sang. We
picked up another fellow on board who
joined our party and was a splendid
dancer. We wanted to get to London
and we started in that direction. Some
of the fellows on the ship gave US a.
map VI NAlG QuACAGSL way TO get there.
Our street concerts seemed to take with
the people. We took up collections and
were surprised to find in a day we were
able to secure a nights lodging and
have some sport around whatever town
we happened to be in. If we had mon
ey enough we rode in the trains. If
we had not been very successful we
took 'shanks mare
AT last we got to London. Here the
first day some fellows, dressed up to
kill, heard US playing in the street and
made bargain with US to have US per-
form at a club house that night eYe
Olde Angel was the name of the club.
| We were on time and gave the cIubmen
a good evenings performance and were
! paid well for it. From that time on
we had money to burn.
I'VE would have stayed longer in
London, but one day, While we were
playing in the street. a crowd of young
men seemed to think we were good
things and began to make sport of US.
We got mad and made for the crowd.
We cleaned up the fellows and they ran
in one direction while we took an OPP
pOsite one. We were afraid that the
and concluded to leave the city From
there we tramped it, took in Bristol,
Worcester, Northampton, Birmingham.
Leicester, Stafford, bennington, Stoke,
Manchester, Sheffield and number or
other cities, towns and villages"
Then the boys began to get hOmesicS
and went back to Liverpool, got a job
as coal passers on board the steamship
Scotsman, bound for Quebec, Canada,
and finally landed back again in Mata-
wan by way of Boston and New York

Consumption Cured.

BROUGHT BACK FROM THE GRAVE.
Last November Mr.. Joseph James,
painter, of SIS W. Pearl St, Indianapo-
lis, Ind, was at DEATHS door with quick
consumption. Wasted to a skeleton;
his lungs a mass of liberation; his
death was hourly awaited by his doctor
and family. He was kept in a constant
stupOr with opium. A friend, thinking
to relieve his terrible cough, gave him a
bottle of Brazilian Balm Seeing its
wonderful effect, the doctor advised its
continued use. Mr.. James soon after
dismissed his doctor, and depended
on the Balm alone. His recovery was
rapid and complete, and in February he
returned to work. His lungs are sound,
and his weight greater than at any time
in his life His recovery is regarded as
almost a miracle

Boats on the Upper Yukon Go Into
Winter Quarters.

Seattle, Wash, Nov. 2.-Navigation
on the Upper Yukon river between Daw-
son and the lakes has closed for the
season and all river steamers have
gone into winter quarters. Thirty Klon-
dikers who left Dawson October 10 on
the steamer Flora arrived here today.
They report that the Flora was the
last boat to leave Dawson. The Yukon
was filed with running ice and it would
be impossible to make another trip.

firmness but he would not be picked out
of a crowd as murderer.
Kennedy told the story of the death
of "Hooky' Jim to a Journal reporter
so far as he knew the facts. I do not
know how Jim died" said he. I did
not see him die as he was then IN
charge of the physician and had been
taken away from the ward. All 1 know
about his death is that one day he was
taken with a fit and fell to the floor
This was nothing unusual as he was
subject to fits of epilepsy. He was car
ried away and that is the last saw
of him and soon after / was told that he
was dead. There was no fight or trouble
of any kind on the day Jim was taken
with that last fit but few days before
he had had a fight with one of the
patients and we had trouble in separat-
ing them.

Harry Hall says I pounded 'Hooky'
Jim. The fact of the matter is that
Hall made that billy himself and l
never saw it on the ward in which
Jim was kept. never saw Hall hit
any one with the weapon. When he

volver and that weapon and another

The records show that "Hoolzy'' jim
died on January and the affidavit
made by Hall states that he received
the fatal beating on January IA.
DR.. Smith, who is in charge of the
portion of the asylum in which the
negro was confined, says that the patient
showed no signs of beating when he
was brought to him and that he had
frequently had epileptic fits during his
confinement in the asylum. He died
before he recovered from the fit on jan
uary 8.
That is the story of the murder Of
''Hooky'" Jim as told by the men who
had charge of him. Jim was once shot
while working on the Shawnee county
rock pile. He was as crazy at that time
as he was when he died at the asylum.

SMITH WEED FIXED 1T.
Settles the Difficulty Between San
Domingo and the United States.

Plattsburg, N. Y, Nov. 2-Smith NJ
Weed has arrived home from the West
syndicate which controls the customs
and railways of San Domingo paying
that republic a large sum every year
for the privilege. He went to Nassau
to meet President Hereaux, at the re-
quest of President Mckinley, or at least
under an understanding with the admin
istration to settle the grievance San Do
m1ngO has against this country on ac-
count of the fernando affair.
1t will be remembered that during
the early stage of the war, fernando
undertook to- be a Cuban patriot and
headed one expedition organized by this
government for the relief of Gomez, for
whom he proclaimed great friendship.
1t turned out, however, that his real
purpose was to promote an instruction
in San Domingo. He landed on the
coast of the little republic, but was
promptly met by a government force,
and out of a party of 16 he was the
only one to escape. San Domingo nat

$4,000 SHORTAGE
In a Cashiers Accounts Discovered
After His Death.

Hanover, Pa, Nov. "A long hidden
deficiency, reaching about $57, 900 has
been discovered in the accounts of the
late John H. Alleman, cashier of the
died about three weeks ago. The books
have been in the hands of an expert ac-
countant since Alleman's death and the
shortage was thus revealed. Mr. Allie
man had been cashier of the bank for
Is years and at no time was he ever
suspected of wrong doing. His defal-
cations were cleverly covered up by
means of "kiting,'' or the use of drafts
on different out of town banks and thus
deceived even the bank examiners Mr.
Alleman was under bonds of $50 900 and
the bank will therefore suffer little ana
it still has a surplus of $44, 900 over all
liabilities.

SHOT ON THE STAGE.
Serious Accident Due to Care
Iessness at the Crawford
Last Night.

Tom Lewis, a colored boy employed
at the Crawford theater, had his nose
perforated by a charge of shot during
the performance of the Kempton Com
edy company last night.
In the first act of the piece last night
the hero fired a shotgun at the william.
In the play the charge of powder struck
the heroine blind, but in reality it did
more than that. It sent a few buck
shot that had been left in the supposed
ly harmless cartridge scattering among
the flies at the left side of the stage.
Lewis happened to be among the flies
at the time, and one of the shot struck
him in the nose, passing through the
flesh of the nOstril, grazing the bone
and severing one of the nasal arteries.
Lewis did not cry out, but staggered
down the stairs leading from the flies
to the stage floor with blood streaming
from the wound One of the stage hands
was hurriedly dispatched for a ply
stefan, but before one could arrive
Lewis had bled enough to paint a good
sized portion of the stage red. The
physician arrested the bleeding and
Lewis was sent to his home
The accident was due to careIessness
on the part of the man who was depu-
ted to cut the shot out of the shell used
in the gun. Genuine blank cartridges
are supposed to be used for all stage
shots, but last night the stock
was exhausted and the only thing left
was to render common shell harmless
How harmless it was rendered Lewis
feels competent to testify today
The accident will undoubtedly have
the effect of making future audiences
at the Crawford theater extremely
nervous when gun is pointed in the
direction of the auditorium.
