THuRsToN ON RESULT.
Endorsement of Administration, and
Eliminates Silver Issue.


Chicago, Nov. 1O.-A special to the
Times-Herald from Lincoln, Neb., says:
On the results of the election, United
States Senator Thurston says: "The
sweeping victory in the west, including
Nebraska, means the unconditional en-
dorsement of President McKinIey's adj
ministration, the conduct of the war and
his foreign policy. The battle was fought
on the straight gold standard platform,
and the. result. in my Judgment, abso-
lutely eliminates free silver as a national
issue in 1900.
The. entire tendency of Independent
voters is to return to old party allegiance
with permanent gains to the Republican
party from the best elements of Democ-
racy and Populists.
This is largely due to the prosperous
conditions of agriculture and business
generally. The people are satisfied with
present conditions
In Nebraska the fusioniSts early in the
campaign practically abandoned the free
silver issue and for a time attempted to
maintain themselves by criticism of the
conduct of the war. Driven from this
they fell back on the McCleary bill.
Ihe Republican campaign was very
active and aggressive, and successfully
met the three issues in detail Above ev-
eryth1ng else, however, was the patriotic
determination to stand by an administra-
tlon whose victories in war and whose
far-reaching and successful foreign policy
has won the admiration of christendom. .

day along the roadside, another was
killed today, and likely four others are
dead and lost in the woods. One white
/ man was buried, three others lie at the
point of death, and four more have been
wounded. Four heads of families have
left the country, and armed troops of
countrymen are securing the country
hunting other victims. All of this is
the outcome of an election row. Four
negroes are reported to be dead in the
woods near where the five bodies lay
today.
TIL trouble was precipitated on cleo
tion day, when 200 or 300 negroes at
the polls opened a fusilade at the store
in which the voting was going on. In
this fight Etheridge- was killed and
Tolbert wounded.
The second occasion for provocation
was that a party hunting the slayers
of EEheridge was fired into and one,
Miller fatally wounded, and Fleming
badly hurt. The arming of the negroes
at the polls, the killing of Etheridge,
the firing from ambush, all conspired
to kindle a flame of passion, and when
that will die down is difficult to tell.
Jesse Williams and two others are said
to have confessed to taking part in the
ambuscade.
The incident of the day was the kill
ing of Essex Harrison. Down the road
came squad of mounted cavalrymen,
with Harrison marching ahead, with
guns and rifles drawn on him. Fifteen
men lined up on the roadside. The ne
gro was put out in the road and told
to go towards the pile of four dead
negroes. He started, there was ring
I of rifles, and Harrison pitched for
ward, dead. Harrison, it is alleged, was
a member of the crowd that killed Eth
eridge.
Parties were out searching all day
for the negroes, who, it is said are
ringleaders in the rioting. The whites
are particularly incensed against all the
! Tolberts, and hold them responsible for
| the trouble. A party went to kill Tom
Tolbert, but some one prevailed on
them not to kill q, wounded and dying

So Testi6es Before Investigation
Committee at Detroit.

Detroit, Mich, Nov. 10.-The western
section of the war investigation COM
mission today began the examination
of witnesses at the Hotel Cadillac. Ma
jor Corliss of the Seventh infantry was
the first witness. During the war the
major was in camp at Chickamauga
and Tampa, went to Cuba with the
army of occupation, was wounded at
FL Caney, and returned to New York
on the transport Seneca. AT FL Caney
he said his men We're supplied With a
fair quantity of rations, but there was
some growing. After being Wounded
the major was an inmate Of several
Cuban hospitals, and in all OF them, he
says, ne Jared very well.
General Dodge read a statement re-
ported to have been made by soldier
Of the Seventh regiment, to the effect
that positions as corporal were readily
obtained by paying a stipulated price.
THAT is a lie,'' responded Major Cor
liss.
Mrs. Richards Of Boston testified
upon the condition of the hospitals at
Camp Thomas, where she voluntarily
helped care for the soldiers from June 8
to Aug. by permission of General
Brooke. She said: In the Second di-

AS to the defeat of the Republican

The evidence of an electrician, a boat
man and az cabman, who assisted in
Luecheni's capture, was then taken.
Luccheni admitted that he came to Cen
eva in order to kill the duke of Orleans,
but, he added, he arrived too late. The
prisoner then remarked that in spite of
this the duke of Orleans would be killed
within a year. The prisoner also said
that If he had possessed 80 francs on the
morning of the assassination, instead Of
killing the empress of Austria, he would
have started for Italy with the intention
of killing King Humbert. He added: 1T
does not matter, however, as another will
kill Humbert shortly
When the full penalty allowed by the
Swiss law was imposed upon him, Luc-
cheni laughed and cried loudly, Long
live anarchy and Death to the aTis-
tocracyn'
A curious feature of the trial was that
whenever anything was said tending to
show that he had attempted to deny his
guilt or to escape it's consequences, he
invariably interrupted, openly glorying in
the crime, which, he said, was premedi-
tated, adding, in one instance. Il did my

Geneva, Switzerland, Nov. 1O-The Ita1-
ian anarchist, Luigi Luccheni who
stabbed and killed Empress Elizabeth of
Austria on Sept. 10 last, was placed on
trial here today. The court was crowded
and the prisoner was strongly guarded
but there was no excitement.
Luccheni bowed politely to the court
and the public, and answered the prelim-
mary questions. through an interpreter,
in a clear, strong voice.
The public prosecutor, in reciting the
circumstances of the crime, said there
was no clear evidence that Luccneni had
accomplices except in the fact of the
prisoners own silence on certain points,

German Emperor's Visit to Madrid

Patenotre and Sir Henry Drummond
Wolf, the French and British anbas-
sador. visited Duke Almodovar del Rio,
minister of foreign affairs, today to as
certain the motives and details of En-
peror Williams visit. He replied that
nothing had been done officially: that
the visit had been ineognito, and that
the authorities would do nothing be-
yond the usual salutes. The foreign
minister added that the cabinet had
not discussed the matter, and that no
invitation had been issued to the en-
peror to visit Madrid.
The two ambassadors subsequently
discussed the matter together. The
greatest popular interest is displayed in
Emperor Williams visit, which is be-
lieved to be somehow connected with
the political situation.

st. Louis, Nov. 1O.-The United States
court of appeals has decided that con-
stitutional limitation is no bar to the
legal collection of an honest debt. The
case was that of E. II. Rollins & Sons
against the board of county commits
sioners of Rio Grande county, Colorado
The suit is an action to recover judg-
nent on a number Of county warrants.
In the United States circuit court of
Colorado the defendants admitted that
the debt was an honest one, but
claimed that the issue of warrants was
in excess of the amount allowed by the
constitution, and consequently they
asked that it be declared null and
void They were sustained by the court,
but the appellate court reversed the
decision, and remanded it for another
trial. insisting that the lower court was
in error by directing a judgment for
the defendant.

Washington, Nov 10.-The report Of
Major General Miles, commanding the
United States army. was made public
today by direction Of Secretary Alger.
The keynote of the report is found in
one of the opening sentences, where
it is said:
THE military operations during tho
year have been extraordinary, unusual
and extensive" a statement which is
fully borne out by the long recital of
important events which General Miles
shows have made the military history
of the year 1898, the most remarkable
since the end of the civil war
In point of interest the document
for while brief allusion is made to such
matters as the military expeditions to
Alaska, interest naturally centers in
the portion which treats of the war
with Spain. Under this general head
the report deals with the plans Of
campaign, of the war preparations,
with the Santiago campaign, with
General Miles operations in Puerto
Rico, and lastly with the important
changes in existing organization which
are, in General Miles opinion, neces-
sary to make the army an effective
weapon for the defense of the country.
There is an entire absence of any
evidence in direct criticism, though
certain sentences in the report are
italicised in an apparent desire to
justify previously expressed plans of
details of the campaign, and where it
deals with events the document is
largely made up Of a quotation of Of
fetal dispatches.
