Opinions of Ex-Governor AItgeId md
James H. Eckclx.
CHICAGO. Nov. S.-Plans are being dis
cussed here and a movement inaugur ated
by leading Democrats to perfect an entire
reorganization of their party. Locally the
1roquois Club expects to take a prominent
part. but according to its most active MEM
bers their efforts will not be confined eth
er to Cook County or the State of Illinois.
Ex-Mayor John p. Hopkins, ]. H. Eckels,
and ex7Judge T. A Moran will be impor-
tant factors in the new movement
Ex-Gov. John P. Altgeld today said:
IF we had declared for the gold stand
ard defeat would have been worse, for
we would have lost what we had and
would not have gained anything, because
corrupt syndicates wanted tool and not
man in the White House, and they would
have corrupted elections, just the same
to elect Mckinley. We do not want to
win il We must sell or mortgage the
Democratic party to Eastern spectators
for money making purposes, as was done
both times when We elected Cleveland"
James H. Eckels said: Fortunately for
the country, MIR. Bryan has been retired
permanently. and today the Democratic
party has 3 future. Yesterday under his
leadership ii had none. 1t will assume
position of Importance and be powsr for
good in the country's affairs. as those
who control its management make mani
fest purpose to cut completely away
from Populism and kindred parties which
are undemocratic in their principles, and
are only capable of making the consersa-
tive elements of the country distrust De-
mocracy.'

COLD WAVE COMING.
Freezing Temperature Promised To-
day by the Weather Prophet.

The decided drop in temperature which
yesterday afternoon and evening made
Washington take on wintry feeling was
hut foretaste of cold wave that is il
the predictions of the Weather Bureau
come true. on its way here. The forecast
sheet issued at the Bureau at 10 o'clock
last night says: For the District of Co.
lumbia, eastern Pennsylvania, Delaware.
Maryland. and Virginia, fair and cold Fri
day and Saturday; brisk to high northerly
Winds" Which means that the mercury
may be expected to sink below the freezing
point. Indications are favorable for con-
tinuance of cold weather on Saturday but
by Sunday 1t is expected that the weather
will moderate considerably.
The cold wave is not copfiped to Wash
ington, but extends over nearly every State
east of the Mississippi River. Freezing
temperatures extended last night into the
Ohio Valley and unseasonably low tempera-
lures to the Middle and South Atlantic
States. with an isotherm OF 40 degrees
reaching into central Georgia.
There was last night marked disturb
ance over Lang Island and as a result of
this storm rain and snow have been general
from the Mississippi Valley eastward. ex-
cept in the extreme South. Some of the
Southern States have been. however, visit
ed by snow. The temperature last night
at Richmond was 5 degrees below the
freezing point and in the western portion
of Virginia a snowstorm was raging.
Cold weather is expected to continue
during Friday east of the Mississippi and
during Saturday in the Middle Atlantic
States. Consequently if the coolest tenn
perature of the wave here prevails on Sat
urday 1t is safe to assume that the Their
mometer will stand well below the freezing
point. 80 degrees.
On Saturday it is expected that warmer
weather will prevail at points on the Great
Lakes, and storm warnings have been
displayed at all ports except Duluth, Grand
Haven, Cleveland and Erie.
The first evidence of cold weather came
Wednesday at midnight, when the mercury
began to drop and sank steadily from the
80 mark till 10 o'clock last night, when it
registered IS degrees At midnight ii was
perceptibly more chilly and it became
colder toward morning

Funk fled from Washington. and it was not
until August 10, 1899, that he was arrested

brought back to this city and was put on
trial for his life in December. During his
confinement in the District Jail Funk has
always shown great deal of nerve. He
