MARCUS DAILY DEAD.
Wealthy Copper-Mine Owner and
Democratic Politician No More.
In Montana He Fought Despsratsiy with
william A. Clark for Political Suprem-
ocy-Daly's Passion for Fast Horses
Senatorial Scandal.

New York, Nov. 13.-Marcus DAILY,
the great copper king, died Monday
at the Hotel Netherlands. Mr.. Days
death has been expected for weeks.
Marcus DAILY was born In Ireland in
In life and since 1876 had been a citizen
OF Montana. He became general manager
Of the Alice silver mine and later came
into control of the Anaconda copper mine.
At the time of his death he was presi-
dent Of the Amalga mated Copper COM
pany. In politics he was a democrat.
The differences between Mr.. DAILY and
w. A. Clark have attracted much atten-
ton. The trouble started years ago over
some water rights near Butte which Daily
wanted and which Clark had bought,
forcing the other to pay a very high fig
ure. Days opportunity for revenge came
In 1883, when Clark was the democratic
nominee for delegate to congress. With
his immense influence at Anaconda Daily
was able to throw heavy vote to Car
ter, Clark's republican rival. which had
previously been cast for the democratic
party. Carter was elected.
The next fight between DAILY and Clark
was on the location of the state capital.
Helena, Missoula, Bozeman and Ana
conda were In the fight. Daily advo-
Gated the last named place. Clark at first
favored Butte, but finally changed to
Helena and that city was chosen. The
senatorship again became the bone of
contention between the two millionaires
last January and Clark was elected. DAILY
had the validity of the election contested
on the ground Of bribery when Clark pre-
sented his credentials to the United
States. The use of money in the election
was freely acknowledged on both sides,
though 1t was claimed that the expend-
itures were for legitimate purposes only.
The contest resulted in the senate voting
that there had been no election by the
Montana legislature. This year CLARK
made fight for the election of members
of the legislature in his interest and won.
His return to the United States senate
next January is assured.
DAILY had passion for horses Of blood
and speed. He owned the $4,000 colt
Hamburg. Tammany. Montana, Senator
Gray. Gwendoline, Ogden and other IA
nous winners. He tried. to buy the VIM
ner of the Derby and Ascot races Of 1897,
Galtee More. but his offer of $125,00O was
not accepted.

UNCLE SANS STRONG BOX.
Report Of Treasurer Robsrts Shows Gross
Receipts Of 01.3S7, 209, 26e for tho Year
Disbursements, S1,195,943,A7a.

Washington, Nov. 13.-The annual
report of the treasurer of the United
States, Ellis H. Roberts, on the oper-
atoms and conditions of the treasury,
was submitted to Secretary Gage
Monday. Mr.. Roberts says the growth
and prosperity of the country and the
general activity of business are re-
Elected in the transactions of his
Office. The net ordinary revenues of
the government for the fiscal year
were $567,24o,S52, the largest in the
history of the country, exceeding
those of 1866, the next highest, by
$47, POI ,2SS. The increase of $51, 2SO, 232
over the preceding year was contrib
uted from all general sources, but
chiefly from customs and internal
revenue. On the side of the expend-
itures there was a net decrease of
$117, 35S,3S8 in comparison with 1899,
so that the deficiency of $50, III $50
for that year was converted into a
surplus of 1887 900 in 1900. The
gross receipts under warrant, includ-
ing those on account of the public
debt, were $685., 2e9, 1862, and the dis
crease on both sides over the previous
year. With the exception of July, 1899,
when there was a deficiency of S., $685..
S32, surplus was realized for every
month of the year, the one for June
being the largest at $780, 59.
The aggregate amount of money of
all kinds in circulation on October /,
1900, is estimated at $2,113, 1894, 1888, an
increase OF s1sO,s10,744 in Is months,
of which $94,44O,9 $50 was due to the
enlarged use of gold and gold certifi-
Gates. The increase per capita was
from s25,3s to $27.O1. The per capita
of gold at the latter date was $1,000,
which is greater than that OF all the
currency in 1862, while the total of
gold is greater than all the circulation
at any time previous to July, 1897.
On October 1, 1924 per cent. Of the
total circulation was in gold and gold
certificates, 26.45 in silver dollars, sill
yer certificates and treasury notes,
1886 per cent. in United States notes,
and 1911 per cent. in national bank
notes. It is significant comparison
that on June 30,, 1890, the percentage
of United States notes was 22.5S. Two
years earlier it was as high as 32.07.
While the volume of United States
notes, treasury notes and silver GER
tificates is limited by statutory. pro-
visions, the stock of gold is constant
ly growing. The metallic stock of
money il estimated for October 1,
1900, at 81 ,O59, 2ss, $50 in gold, $566, 1885,
367 in silver dollars and bullion, and
$50, 900, 74s in fractional silver coin,
an aggregate of $1,711,644,935.

 This was the occasion of MT. Staats' first public appearance in Birmingham and he made a fine impression.

FEARFUL EXPLOSION OF DYNAMITE
 CAUSED BY>A COLLISION OF TRAINS
ranmen Lose Control of Eighteen Cars Which Dash Into An Engine and Explode Car of Dynamite-Three %
 Men Killed and Many Injured. d.--- '4- s-> .

Wilkesbarre, Pa., January 25.-A fearful explosion of dynamite occurred in the yards of the Jersey Central railroad at Ashley, a suburb of this city, at o'clock tonight, killing Frank Mclaughlin, of Mauch Chunk, aged 27; Michael Blrdam, of Ashley, aged 22; Wm. Buckley, of this city, aged 2S, all brakemen, and fatally injuring two unknown men.
 Engineer John Rehrig, of Mauch Chunk. was badly injured. Engineer John Rough Y ley, of Ashley, who ran a side engine, was severely scalded. William Brown, Ashley, night boss at the round house; Brakeman Thomas Rowe, of Newton, and F1agman Michael Coyle, of Ashley, were badly in- jured.
 The accident was caused by the loss of control of a heavy freight train, consisting of twenty-four cars, which was coming from Mauch Chunk to Ashley. The train was in charge of Engineer Rehrig. At Lau- rel Run, while descending the steep grade down the mountain, control was lost and the heavy train went laundering down in the direction of Ashley at tremendous rate

PENNSYL
 TAXES THE LEAD The Democrats Name Bryan as Their Choice for
 President.

T1arrisbldg, Pa, January 25.-The state democratic committee set the pace for the democracy of the state today by making Colonel w. J. Bryan it's choice for the pres, tdency in 1900 This action was taken by the committee while Colonel Bryan was on his way to Harrisburg from New York to attend the meeting and confer with the party leaders.
 This is probably the first time in. the party's history that the democrats of Pennsylvania have indicated their choice for president in advance of the state con- vention. There was large attendance of democrats from over the state to meet Colonel Bryan and hear him discuss the issues on which the coming campaign will be waged.
 The state convention will be held in this lity on April 5, and will adopt a platform along the lines laid down by the Nebraska orator in his speech tonight before 5.O0O people at the Kellar street hall. The plat form Will endorse the Chicago declara- uon or principes, denounce the trusts and imperialism, advocate ballot reform and pure elections and condemn machine poli tics.
 Colonel Bryan reached here at 8 o'clocL and was escorted to the board of trade rooms, where the state committee was in session, by committee representing the state and local democratic committees. He was introduced to the assemblage by State Chairman Killing, and made short speech which was received with much enthusiasm.
 MT. Bryan said he appreciated the odds that eastern democrats had to contend with "It is easy to be democrat in the south said he, and it is easier to be a democrlt in the west than it used to be. I believe the time will come when Chicago platform democracy will be as popular in Pennsyl- vanda as 1t is out fin Nebraska While no republican remembers what was in the re- publican platform of 1S96 and while no gold democrat can repeat the Indianapolis plat form, every democrat and republican can remember the Chicago platform The democrats ought to make progress in this state because the republican party is more corrupt in this state than in any other state in the union."
 At the close of his speech, MT. Bryan held an informal reception at the Commonwealth hotel. and later he was the guest of Mayor Fritchey at a dinner party, at which Col onel Guffy. Chairman Killing and other par ty leaders were present.

of speed. It had been raining and the tracks were slippery. t. ..
 At the foot of the mountain just where the Ashley yards commence the runaway train dashed into helping engine standing in its path and 1t was sent flying along the trac kinto shifting engine. The shock exploded a car containing thirty boxes of dynamite and the eighteen cars in the train were wrecked. Everything that stood near was knocked to pieces. .e
 The locomotives were wrecked. The stacks of the round house and a large por- ton of the roof were blown away. An, im- mense tank containing thousands of gall Ions of water was torn to splinters and several people who happened to be in the vicinity narrowly escaped drowning by the flood in which they were suddenly sub merged. Nearly every window in the town was broken.
 The inhabitants were greatly alarmed by the noise of the explosion,- as well as by the shaking of their houses. Even in this city many of the strongest edifces felt the severity of the shock and trembled violent ly. The loss cannot be estimated

 Miss Handley played two Grfeg pieces "Wiegenlied" and Ich Liebe Dich''-and ac- quilted herself with high credit.
 MT. Calman, the violinfst is known to the Birmingham public as an able orchestra musician, but as he has appeared but seldom in solo work not many who heard him last night were prepared for such a treat as he gave them. He had two numbers on the programme-the first, (a) Romance Sans Paroles," by Thome, (b) 'La Cygne" (The Swan), zy Saint Saens, and the second Beethovens Romance, Number g. and eacs> one of these pieces he rendered in almost fault1ess style His tone was broad and singing, and his technique was clear and free.
 Mir. Washburn sang in his best voice and style Be Comforted" and "The Lord Worketh Wonders," from Judas Maccabeus, and a recitative and aria from Gounod's 'Queen of Sheba.'
 The audience was large and appreciative. It quite crowded the institute hall, indeed, and many persons had to stand throughout the entertainment.

MIR. BRYAN'S ADDRESS
The Peerless Leader Was Received
 With Great Warmth

Harrisburg, Pa., January 25.-Mr. Bryan spoke to an immense crowd tonight. After congratuating the democracy of Pennsyl- vania on the suspicious opening of the campaign of 1900, he spoke, in part, as fol- lows:
 People ask why do not drop the money question. It would have no effect upon the money question if I did drop it. It Is in the keeping of no man, and 1t would not make any dlfferenie whether I adhered to it or disregard it. But if you will ask me why l don't drop it I will tell you that am not willing that a handful of English bankers shall control 700OOOO0 of Ameri-. can people,
 Colonel Bryan said that the republican party seeks to fasten upon this country a perpetual and increasing debt in order that the banks may control the volume of the peoples money. When a man tells you now that gold means more money and that more money 1heans better times, you tell him that he has admitted the quantative theory of money and that is what we con- tended for in 1896, he said.
 On the question of trusts; Mir Bryan said he believed that congress has, the power and right to exercise it, to say that no corporation organized i'm any state shall do business outside of that state unless ft secures permission from congress and that can be granted only when the corpora ton ShoWS that there is no water in it's stock ana that 1t is not attempting to monopol!ze any branch of business or the production or any article of merchandise
 speaking eff the Philippines MT. Bryan said:
 Let us tell the Filfpinos that. having dr1Ven the Spaniards out, they are to stand up and be free and then say to all the world, Hands off, and let that re- public work out its own destiny.
 Tell me that we are pleading the cause or the Fllipinos? We are pletding tlae cause of the Amerilan people. If the E,lin- mos were to die tomorrow the world womb go on; but if this nation ceases to ha . republic, the light of civilization wou1d .o,o out 1orever To what nation then doea struggling humanity look for hone and ins Spiration?'

 Railway Coaches.
THEY INSIST ON SQUARE DEAL

Frankfort, Ky, January 25.-A special train over the Louisville and Nashville rail- road bearing more than thousand men carrying Winchesters arrived dn Frankfort at S:30 o'clock this morning. The men hail from the counties of Bell, Allen, Knox, Harlan, Whitley. Metca1fe and Edmondson Frankfort is overlowing with visitors, but none except those arriving today carry arms. The train that bore the armed men was made up of fourteen coaches. The men left the coaches in front of the Louis- vile and Nashville station and forming into companies marched to the state house where their arms were deposited promis- cuously and the men scattered about the buildings. Lunch was served to them at the rear of the state house. Most of the visitors wore badges of white ribbon adorned with a picture of Governor Taylor. While it is generally believed that many of the men are soldiers, no person in au- thority will stand sponsor for the state ment and Governor Taylor and Adjutant- General Collier dsclaim any connection with them.
 Shortly after their arrival, the visitors gathered in front of the main building, where ex-Secretary of State Finlay address, ed -them,- afterward introducing Stephen Sharp, of Lexington, former judge of Fay ette county, and treasurer of the state by appointment. Judge Sharp spoke briefly, and put himself at the service of the men. committed. was appointed and the resolu- tions were adopted urging the legislature to treat both sides fairly.
 The resolutions will be presented to both houses of the legislature tomorrow.
 Photographer Not Wanted
 After the meetings the mountain strang- CTS gathered in small squads about the cap itol grounds A photographer, with his camera came into the yard and set 1t up for the purpose of taking snap shots at the crowd. The mountain men hastily gathered about him and demanded he take the in- strument away.
 . "Take it right now,' said one, "or we'll get.a blanket and throw you up in the air a few times"
 During the afternoon tents were being put up in the rear of the state capitol for the housing of the armed strangers, but contrary to expectations on the advice of the republican authorities they left Frank fort at o'clock tonight.
 The concensus of opinion here is that the visitors mistook this for the day on which the contest boards were to make their re- ports. The men were an hour getting aboard their train and amused themselves during the delay by discharging their guns. The people of the city gave them a wide berth. They are expected to return when the contest ends
 The arrival of a thousand men armed with rifles might have terrorized com munity less inured to unusual and sensa- tional happenings than Frankfort, but by night the excitment caused by the appear ance of the war-lke visitors had subsided and the people were prepared for another turn in the events now making history at the state capitol.
