for Judge Pemberton, explaining
that Judge Brantley is a gold.hug.
His remarks were interspersed with
good humor, and he WAS frequently
applauded.
The next gentleman introduced
was Hon. C.-S. Hartman who made
the speech of the evening. He de-
clared his firm allegiance to the
white metal, not because it would
help Neihart, not because it would
help Montana; but because it is the
greatest political question today; it
involves the subject of falling prices

manity. Ho vowed his fidelity to
| that cause, and said that while he has
breath he will espouse and defend it..
The recent Omaha congress was
fresh in his memory, and he declared
that the gold men at that congress
have furnished the world with hotter
arguments for bimctallism that all
the silver champions have been able
to advance for the last twenty wears.

and ran 300 feet on the ties. The engineer
reversed his engine, but could not stop the

TOOK MONEY WITH HIM WHEN
HE LEFT
Creditors Dickering With Gillett's
Captors for the Man and Part
Of the Money

KANSAS CITY, Dec. lit is stated here
tonight that Grant c. Gillett, the Kansas
cattleman whose financial collapse last week
revealed the fact that in less than three years
he had piled up an Indebtedness of more than
81 100000, is under arrest somewhere in the
southwest. Charles A. Schaeffer, president
of the George Holmes Commission company,
swore out warrant here today charging
Gillett with having obtained $l9,5OO by false
pretenses. The warrant was placed in the
hands of an officer and the officer left the
city tonight.
M. A. Fyke, attorney for the Holmes COM
pany, tonight made this statement:
"Gillett is under arrest in Mexico. An Of
fcer has gone for him and we will get him
back, we hope, at very early date"
In other quarters it is stated almost as
positively that Gillett is not in Mexico, but
that he is in custody on American soil, that
he has large sum of money in his possession
and that his captors are negotiating his
creditors here to exact a stated percentage
of the money as their price for turning Gil
lett and the funds over to his creditors.
1t was stated quite positively here tonight
that Gillett was under arrest at chihuahua.
Mexico, but the statement could not be con-
frmed and at late hour the journal re-
ceived a dispatch from the Jefe Politico, pub
lished at Chihuahua, that so far as known
Gillet was not in custody there.

The general went over the newspaper

out that the correspondence given therein
showed that he had requested Admiral
Sampson to send representative to the
ceremonies at the surrender of Santiagoaan
that he did not sign the terms OF surrender
himself.
"As l did not sign them, certainly
would not consent for Admiral Sampson to
