AGAINST COMBINES.
New Hampshire Republicans to Head a
Movement Looking TO Political Refor ms

CONCORD, N. H., November 2S.-United
States Senator William T.. Chandler, ex-
Gov. Charles A. Busiel and others to-day
issued an address to the Republicans Of
New Hampshire inviting cooperation in
opposing what is termed 1.-The railroad
power in the State and in suppressing
evils arising from industrial combines,
and advocating improved election laws
and other reforms. The address in part
says:
THE undersigned Republicans solicit
your cooperation in efforts within the
party to obtain: The statutory prohibition
of passes on railroads; the repeal of
the power of the Supreme Court to decide
that any steam or electric railroad, which
it's promoters desire to build is unneoes-
sary and hostile to the public good;
primaries law governing the caucuses
and conventions Of the political parties;
the diScontinuance of the collection for
alleged campaign expenses of large sums
of money from office holders; the treas
uries and owners of railroads and other
election methods; the suppression of the
evils arising from trusts"
Under the head of trusts the address adj
vocates the universal application in the
State and nation Of the principle OF un-
restricted competition which is the life Of
trade and the basis Of all prosperity in
society and the election Of members Of
legislature and of congress who will en-
force this principle. The convention viii
readily enough denounce trusts and, de-
clare for competition. The danger is that
the cause will be betrayed by representa-
tives and senators In the State legisla-
lures and In the national congress, so that
extraordinary pains must be taken by the
people to stand against much betrayals.
The appeal concludes: The UNDER
signed believe that the neglect by ReDub-
licans generally to pursue the objects
named above viii endanger Republican
ascendancy in State and nation, while
with the sincere and effective pursuit of
those objects State and national, victory
in 1900 will be achieved

pared by Representative Overstreet, of
Indianapolis, who introduced the orig
inal bill of the monetary commission
in 1898, and has been distributed TO
each Republican member OF the House.
Mr.. Overstreet frankly admits that the
committee "did not consider the gen.
eral subject of banking, nor did it seek
to arrange complete scheme of fin
ance, but confined its recommendations
to those subjects of most pressing de-
mand, as evidenced by the pledges of
the Republican party and the general
policy of the administration"
1t was felt, the report declares, that
'Nthe Strengthening of the public credit
by the removal of all doubt concerning
the policy and practice of the govern
ment relative to the unit of the value
is of paramount Importance"
1t is pointed out that there can be
but one standard at one time, but that
the convenience of commerce is pro-
NOTED by the use of different metal of
exchange, convertible into the standard.
The report continues:
when the standard shall DC per
manently established and all doubt of
its stability removed, the parity of all
our money will be fully recognized and
the kind of money in which its pay
ment5 shall be made, will rarely, if
ever, be subject TO dispute. When cer~
tainty shall take the place of doubt,
and the integrity of our credit be as
fixed as the honor of the nation, and
the national debt can be readily re-
funded at lower interest rates, and flu
ture loans negotiated with ease upon
better terms than ever before"
Mr.. Overstreet quotes the pledge of
the Republican national convention of
1896 that "all our silver and paper cur
rency must be maintained at parity
with gold, and we favor all meNures
designed to maintain inviolable the OBJ
legations of the United States and all
our money, whether coin or paper, at
the present standard, the standard OF
the most enlightened national of the
earth"

OUT HIS REVOLVER AND OPEN
ED ON THE NEGRO-ANOTHER

HAND. BUT THE OFFICER CON-
TINUED TO FIRE WITH THE
LEFT - NEGRO FINALLY Dis
ARMED BY A YOUNG SOLDIER.
PITTSBURG, Pa. November 2S.-An
exciting street duel on Wylie avenue
to-day, between Policeman @. NJ.
Forbes and Wilson Yancy (colored), re-
suited in the officer being wounded
four times, from the effects of which he
will probably die.
Forbes, who has been one OF the city's
pluckiest policemen. has arrested Yancy
on two different occasions, the negro
going to the workhouse each time.
The last sentence expired yesterday,
and Yancy returned to his old haunts.
The story of the duel is to the effect
that Forbes and Yancy met ON the
street and passed some remarks. When
the policeman had turned to leave the
negro pulled so calibre revolver and
put bullet into his shoulder. While
Forbes was trying to get his overcoat
open to draw his revolver Yancy fred
again, this time cutting through the
chin. He fired third shot but missed,
and as Forbes sought refuge in a near
by saloon, fourth shot was lodged In
his back. The negro retreated across
the street and as quickly as Forbes
could get out his revolver he came to
the door to renew the battle. Yaney
was waiting on the opposite side of the
street. The two men with revolvers
cooked moved slowly down the street
waiting good chance to fire, AS soon
as the crowd Of onlookers got out of
range Forbes fired, but missed. Yancy
returned the fire. hitting the officers
right wrist and knocking the revolver
to the ground. Forbes pluckily caught
it up with his left hand and fired again,
but without effect. AS Yancy was
about to shoot once more, VIM. Miller.
young man, a member of the Eigh-
teenth regiment, crept up behind him,
grabbed him by the collar and dealt
the negro a terrific blow ON the jaw,
which knocked him into the gutter.
Others came to his help and the shooter
was subdued. Forbes then staggered
up, saw that Yancy was handcufred and
then collapsed.
At the hospital the physicians at
midnight said Forbes was sinking rap
idly and could hardly survive the
night.

In an interview Thomas Dolan stated
that Messrs. Widener and Elkins and
himself had withdrawn from the board
of directors Of the company. He did
not wish the idea to go out that this
action evidenced lack OF faith in the
organization, the designations being due
to the fact that the continuance OF the
three Fhiladelphians on the board
would conflict with other interests IN
which they are concerned

HORSES POUNDED TO DEATH.

Terrible Experience of the Transport Vic
toria in a Dangerous sea-
SEATTLE, Wash, November 28.-
With a cargo of dying horses and mules
and 55 empty stalls, the United States
transport Victoria returned to port last
night, having been forced by an unpre-
cedented stress Of weather off Cape
Flatter, to turn back from her voyage
to the Philippines. OF the 410 horses
and mules carried by the Victoria taken
on board November %, IS were pound
ed to death against the sides of their
stalls in the storm and the remaining
animals are so badly bruised that the
officials of the vessel believe that many
cannot be saved.
The Victoria sailed for the Philip
pines November %. As the straits were
| neared high and dangerous sea was
encountered, and the ship pitched and
rolled heavily, shipping seas fore and
aft. The stress of weather increased
as the Victoria advanced toward the
open ocean. On the morning Of Ne
vember "a the vessel was rounded just
outside the straits with her head to the
| wind. At o'clock on the afternoon Of
| that day she was tossing on the crest
of the waves described in the log as
mountain high and the strong gale
blew thick with binding mist. The
| transport labored heavily during the
night, and early next morning steamed
away to the west, but the gale rose so
| dangerous that her head was again
| brought around to the wind. This day
was repetition Of the preceding, with
| the addition of terrific squalls. The
rolling and pitching of the ship now
began to have it's effect upon the ami
| mails confined in the stalls. They had
been pounded from side to side until
| they were in state of exhaustion.
| Several died during the night and the
next morning, and constant attention
of Veterinary Surgeon Payne and
| stcckhands seemed powerless to save
Under such circumstances it was de-
cided, after consultation between Capt.
Michaels and his officers, to round the
ship and head for Seattle. During the
trip several more horses died, bringing
the number of deaths up to SIS. The
bodies of the animals were weighted
and thrown overheard as fast as death
came.
Purser Lockwood said that during
SO voyages he had made across the
Pacific he has never seen such stress
of weather as was encountered by the
Victoria The farther distance reached
was 200 miles west Of the cape When
the storm was at its height oil bags
were emptied and everything done to
ease the motion of the ship. Aside
from the loss of animals no other dam
age was done, the Victoria behaving
| splendidly.

No Small Change.

Dean Monahan relates an incident
which illustrates the absence Of small
change in the early days of Kansas. In
1868 he went into the postoffice at Hays
City, threw down a quarter and asked
for a postage stamp want only one:'
queried the postmaster. "Only one, re-
piled the novelist, whereupon the post
master handed him stamp and raked
in the quarter. Don't l get any
changer demanded Monahan. "Change,
hip replied the government official.
eve have no change in these parts
smaller than quarter !"
And this was strictly true. In Hays
City the smallest coin known was the
20 cent piece. A glass of beer sold for a
quarter, and the same charge was made
for a pound of crackers or cigar. 1t is
related in the early annals of the town
how the saloon and dance hall keepers
held an Indignation meeting to take &C.
ton in the case of new man who ad-
yertised to sell two glasses of beer for
quarter. The meeting resulted in the de-
parture of the innovator for pastures
new. AS late as 1872 there was store
in Hays City which never gave any
change smaller than the 20 cent piece.
If the customer had. say, 10 cents COM
ing, he was at liberty to help himself to
a glass of whisky from barrel which
stood in the corner, but he need not ex-
pect his dues in money.-Kansas City
