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: 1.-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.
The 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
ton 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
man.
Fully 300 men/scoured. the country

trouble occurred, hoping to find the

gated in the neighborhood The Toll

The atmosphere seems to have clear
ed considerably this afternoon and no
further trouble is expected. TfA whites
are heavily armed and are prepared for
trouble at any moment. Guards and

night. The two negroes who were

chairman of the committee of % in per-

reach him until tire hours after the
expiration of the time limit which had

A crowd was formed tonight to. take
from the jail and lynch two negroes,
Thomas Miller and Ira Bryant, who
were arrested today charged with max
ing threats, and were regarded as dan

Waddell, promptly prohibited the as
sembling of the crowd at the Jail and
he himself headed a guard of 25 men
with Winchesters to guard the prison
ers.

GENERAL DIRT AND DISORDER
CONDITION OF HOSPITALS AT
CAMP THOMAS.
Mrs. Richards, q Voluntary Nurse,
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-
vision, Third corps hospital, 1 would
mention the general dirt and disorder,
the lack of quiet, the absence of disin-
fectants and the horrible stencil. Pa
tents were frequently filthy, and they
were very infrequently bathed. Some

rible flies. Mosquito netting was there,
but it was not always in use; there
was utter neglect to put the mosquito
netting down where it would relieve the

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

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-
You'd 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.

remembered that in the last legislature
we had but one member, ana that we
did not at the last election carry a sin

becomes very significant. We, standing
on the straight st. Louis platform,
practically single-handed, have made
great inroads into the silver vote"
1t is well known that Mr.. Morrison
and other Republican leaders contend
that the defeat of their party was due
to the Mormon vote, which went almost
in a body to the fusionists.
Latest returns indicate the Republi-
cans have carried the majority of the

ties went fusion by large pluralities.
The Republicans have 20 of 46 in the

they will get enough silver Republican
support to organize both branches.
Tonight Chairman Bassett of the sill
yer Republican committee gave out
the following: 1.-THE victory for the
silver Republican and Democratic union
ticket in the state of Idaho confirms
the fact that the voters Of Idaho are
loyal TO bimetallism, and are satisfied
that prosperity has in nowise come to
the people of our country.
LAS to the silver Republicans in Ida
no, there are greater numbers today
than two years ago, and they are
unanimous in the opinion that tariff
legislation is futile unless accompanied
by bimetallism.
'"They have no faith in, and never
did have, in the Republican party's in
ternational monetary promises, and
cannot be cajoled into voting the Re
publican ticket by any such a vague
promise for the restoration OF silver.
''They believe that the congress Of the
United States should, at the earliest
possible moment, remove all reStric-
tons now existing against silver, and
enact the necessary legislation looking
to the free coinage of both gold and sill
yer without further delay"
In this state a number of women
have been elected. Mrs. Clara Camp
