HOW VICTOR ROW
WAS STARTED
Postmaster Sullivan'S Part
in Roosevelt Affair.
NAT HENNESSY TELLS
INTERESTING STORY
Claims Money Was Used to In
stigate Disturbance.

Postmaster Sullivan of Cripple Creek,
Colo, was not only the hero but the
instigator of the anti-RooseveIt de-
monstration at Victor on Wednesday
night last, according to the story told
by Mat Hennessy, Victor miner who
passed through Salt Lake yesterday on
his way to Pocatello.
Hennessy told the story to a friend.
Denver man, who happened to be in
Salt Lake. He said that he met Sulli-
van in Victor last Wednesday morning
Sullivan asked him if didn't want 10
make $500. Hennessy was willing, for
such an amount OF money looked big
to him. Then, he declares, Sullivan
dnfolded his plan.
Proposed to Start a Fight
He proposed that Hennessy gather a
crowd of trusty men and start a riot
at the Roosevelt meeting. Sullivan
was to come to the rescue and do the
heroic act to the tune of maybe a. first
assistant postmaster generalship if
Mckinley is elected Hennessy agreed
to the plan. He started out at once
and selected his crowd When ROose-
welt came everything was ready, even
the man WHO was 10 " MI
the candidate with a flag staff
The riot was started according to
schedule. The meeting was broken up
and Roosevelt was touched with the
staff. Sullivan CALAMITY stepped for
ward and made it look to a great many
people as if he knocked the fellow
down. Hennessy says that as a matter
of fact he didn't do anything of the
kind. He merely made a bluff at hit
ting the man and the latter tumbled
over very promptly
Hennessy Gets the Coin
HennessY smiled when he was told
of the kilograms Sullivan had been re-
ceiving congratulating him on his
bravery. He's welcome to his con-
gratulations, said the disturbance
promoter. 1--WE got the COIN" and as
he spoke he drew from his pocket a roll
of bills which he said was the major
part of the money he had received
from Sullivan.
Hennessy's friend, from who the story
comes, is a gentleman of unimpeach-
able integrity. He vouches for Hen
messy, whom he says he has known for
number of years as an honest and
thoroughly reliable man. He also
knows Sullivan, and declares that he
would take Hennessy's word against
Sullivan's at any turn in the road

Lake Charles, La, Sept. 2S.-An day
there were rumors of the probable
lynching of Pierce Scott, negro in jail
here charged with criminal assault on
Miss Oswald. aged 70, a sister of Judge
German. About o'clock an unmarked
crowd gathered at the court house. One
of the crowd called for Sheriff Perkins
and demanded the keys to the Jail. In
the meantime Judge Miller addressed
the crowd and told them the punish
ment of criminals must be left TO the
courts in CaIcaise parish He then rea-
sOned individually with the nephews of
the negro's victim.
Judge Miller urged the crowd to dis
perse and promised to take the case
against the negro up in court tomor-

MILLION VOTERS WILL
DESERT M'KINLEY RANKS
National Committeeman Dunbar Returns from tfe
East in Optimistic Frame of Mind.
Gives AS His Firm Belief that Bryan and Stevenson Will
Be Elected.

MCKINLEY will not come within a
million votes of his support of 1896 -
was the optimistic opinion expressed by
National Committeeman D. c. Dunbar,
upon his return from Chicago yester-
day. His support is falling off ire
mendOusly in every quarter of the ma
ton. The Republican national COM
mittee and Mr.. Hanna are almost dis
couraged; they are making at their
own headquarters the most unlocked
for concessions. and nothing can pre-
vent the election Of w. J. Bryan presi-
dent of the United States"
Those who are familiar with Mr.
DunOar's conservative nature can see
BY his convincing talk what is written
in the heavens. He mas spent several
weeks in the east and when he comes
home and saws There is absolutely
not 2 doubt of the election of Bryan
and Stevenson" the words carry
WEIGHT.
When asked for his views as to the
reason for the great falling off in Re
publican support, Mr.. Dunbar answer
ed that there were two causes.
Adore all" said he, 1T is the apatIly
of Republican campaigners to support
the national ticket with the unpopular
administration Of Mckinley before
them. Thousands of men who four
years ago were hustling for the presi-
dents success are today sitting down
heedleSsly and not caring a straw which
way the election goes. The change in
sentiment throughout the east is simply
overwhelming. Mr.. Hanna has trav-
eled and travelled and written and writ
ten, urging his old stand-bys to rally
10 the adminiStra TONS support but
they simply Will not respond.
Hanna Is Discouraged.
H is discouraged to the backbone by
the Iack Of interest and it can be ac-
counted for only in the great change
Of opinion among all classes, the fall
ing Of the president as a popular idol
among good Republicans and the ever
increasing confidence of both political
parties in the sincerity and manliness
Of BRYAN.
The people out here have no idea
how the Bryan sentiment has grown
in the east They have come to look
uDon him as a broad gagged, honest
statesman and are contrasting him
with Mckinley. the tool as often
heard hin1 referred to. Our greatest
gains are among the working classes.
Last saturday night I saw the big Re
publican parade in Chicago. It was a
very creditable event, but the streets.

with people cheering for Bryan.

Report Says Tuan Is Deposed and
Kang vi Dead.


New York. Sept. 2S.-From reliable
Chinese sources of information comes
the statement that Kang vi, the noto-
rious Boxer leader, has committed sui
eide in Pekln, says the Herald'S Snang-
hal correspondent. 1t is also said that
the empress dowager has replaced
Prince Tuan by Wan Wen Chao who

dent OF the war department and a.
member of the grand secretariat, is
said to have embraced the Boxer pro-
pagandA with ardor and to have par

nounced that he was to SuDersede
Shong, as Taotai of Shanghai; that the
Foreign cOnSulS there protested against
the selection and that Lieu Ku vi vice
roy OF Nankin, took their objection un-
der consideration. Kang vi is said to
have attained his exalted position by
presenting arms and money to the Chi
nese government while Taotai of Swa-
tow during the war with Japan.
Wan Wen Chao is a Chinaman, not
Manchu, and is g member of the de-
Partment of finance and of the council
of state.

nave been suspended for the 5000
troops there, the Herald's correspond

listers before releasing the emperor.

majority in each. Richard Croker has
made wagerS amounting to 800 600

In Doubtful Column.
AT Republican headquarters it is
conceded that Connecticut is in the
doubt1uI column and that Bryan has a
good fighting chance in New York and
indiana. They admit that Kentucky
ana Maryland and West Virginia are
practically for Bryan and Stevenson by
comfortable majOrities.
We expect Indiana and possibly ILL
nois. Minnesota also may swing over
INTO the Bryan column this year. The
hrst poll of Indiana showed a Demo-
cratic majority of 1000 votes and other
states are showing up equally well. Ac-
cess1ons to the Democrats of such men
as Olney, Carl Schurz, Bourke Cock
rane and Senator Wellington of Mary

is my candid opinion that Mckinley

The Democrats of Chicago are not

they regard as lost anyway because
nearly every time he speaks in the east
he makes some bad break.
