Why the Republicans Want
a Great Army.
To 0verawe the Working Man. Out of Their
Own Mouths he Republicans Are
Condemned.
(By the Associated Press.)

New York, Nov. 1.-Governor Stone, of
Missouri, who is in charge of the New
York branch of the National Democratic
headquarters gave out the following
statement today:
Governor Roosevelt and other Repub-
lican leaders and other Republican news
papers are criticisng Mr.. Bryan for de-
nouncing the scheme of the Administra-
tion to fasten a large standing army on
the country and especially for saying
that it was intended to quarter the army
near large cities and to use it to over
awe working men. Nevertheless Mr..
Bryan is right
Senator Hawley, of Connecticut, is a
Republican United States Senator of the
Brahmin caste and stands high in the
councils of his party. He is chairman of
the Senate Committee on Military Affairs
and in the Senate he had charge of the
bill increasing the army and made a
strong speech in favor of it. On March
8, 1899, Senator Hawley also made
speech before the Connecticut legislature
and in his speech, among other things,
he said:
And then among other things that
great countries must think of are the
wild, unreasoning instructions and mobs.
1t was wise thing for the merchants Of
Chicago to give a tract of land to the
National Government. who fortified it,
and it is now called Fort Sheridan. We
have heard of disturbances in Chicago.
We hope, however, that we shall never
have any again, but we know the best
way not to have them is to be prepared
for them. So I say we shall need a large
army to stand back of municipal au-
thority. In the last named resort, if a
single company of blue coats marches
around the corner with their steady and
solemn step. the mob disperses because
they know they are men who shoot when
they are ordered to. 1t is simply a bust
ness with them. No government is free
from the possibility of resorting to
force"

HOW THE POWERS STAND.
Five United on All the Terms of the Anglo
German Agreement.
(By the Associated Press. }

10y the ASSOcldLcQ PreSS.)
Washington, d. c., Nov. 1.-The align
ment of the powers on the British German
agreement is now complete Aside from
Italy and Austria, whose adherence to
the agreement was expected, owing to
their political relations with Germany, ia
pan is the only one of the powers which has
given unconditional assent to the agree
ment. AS the matter now stands, five of
the powers are united on all tie terms of
the agreement, viz: Great Britain. Ger
many, Italy, Austria and japan: three of
the powers, United States, France and
Russia accept the clauses relating to the
open door and the territorial integrity of
China, but withhold action on the third
clause relating to future procedure in
case any power seizes territory. In regard
to the third clause Russia referred the
two contracting parties to the Russian
circular of April %, saying that she would
modify her attitude according to circum-
stances.
The chief effect of the exchange has
been to bring five of the powers to an
agreement to respect the "open door"
and the integrity of China, and to consult
among themselves as to a future course
in case any of the other powers sought
to take Chinese territory. These "other
powers as the negotiations have now
been shaped are the United States,
France and Russia. AS to the United
States, there is of course no possibility
of an initiative in taking territory so
that the terms of the third clause would
apply to France and Russia, and would
bring about concurrent action OF the five
powers, in case either of these two
sought to extend their domain in China

news that during the night Jones had in

by cutting his throat with a pen knife,

the purpose of getting rid of one witness

His crime, according to the confession
of Jones, parts of which the District At

estate. The taking off of Mr. Rice, says
Jones, was done by the internal admins

curry, presumably chloroform.
Attorney Patrick denies having furnish

the statements in the confession.
Jones after his suicidal attempt, was
taken to Bellevue Hospital, hastily sum-
noned physicians, having just been in
time to save him from death through loss
of blood. At midnight he was pro-
nounced out of danger.
