arguments. He was almost
continually hunting in his
great pile of papers for some
document which was often
times not read even when
found, and he drank lots of
water. The candidates for
the House have an hour each
and ten minutes each for a
reply. On this day Mr.. Hally-
burton asked a number of
times how much time he had
and seemed to be glad when
his hour was out. In his ten
minutes reply he said in
kind of give-it-up air that if
the Democrats would put these
proposed laws on his people
he hoped they would be as
merciful as possible to them.
We will say for Mr.. Hally-
burton's benefit that he COM
planned of getting too warm
and having a smothered feel
ing during his speech, con-
sequently he was unable, he
said, to make the speech that
he otherwise could have made.
Many Republicans have said
that they would favor the
amendment IL it disfranchised
all negroes. Mr.. Spainhour
asked his opponent if he stood
that way. He replied mo.
Is his position through love
for the negro?
Every day Mr.. Spainhour
makes the proposition that if
his opponent will prove to him
that a single white man will
he disfranchised under the
amendment he will quite the
campaign. So far the proof
has not been furnished by Mr..
HALLIBURTON or anyone else.

for county commissioner,

Mr.. Cooper simply announced
his candidacy, failing to com
ply with Mr.. Giles request
The latter repeated his re-
quest. Then Mr.. Cooper
simply replied, Il am no Dem

LIVERPOOL, Oct. ia singular Sc
ries of accidents occurred in the Mersey
today.
The Norwegian steamer Veritas col
hded with the Leyland steamer Divonia,
from Boston, Oct. 8. Unsuccessful
efforts were made to beach the Veritas on
the Cheshire shore, after which she was
towed over to the Liverpool side, where
the cable parted and she collided with
the Earl of Powys, causing the latter to
break from her moorings. Thereupon
both steamers drifted down the river
and the Veritas crashed into two thick
iron booms stretched from the pie1 head
at St. Georges landing stage.
Everything above her deck was car
ried away and she is now submerged
wreck. The Earl of Powys, while drift
ing smashed her boats, lost her propel-
Ter and her crew leaped upon the dock
wall.
The south end of the landing stage
was extensively injured. The aggre-
gate damage done will amount to thou
sands of DOnnds.

COURT OF ARBITRATION.
1t May Be Called Upon to Settle
Chinese Indemnities.


Chinese Indemnities.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 13.-The Russian
suggestion that the international court
of The Hague be given jurisdiction over
Emergencies of views arising on the
question Of Chinese indemnities was
submitted to Secretary Hay by NJ. De-
Wollant, the Russian charge d'affaires
in Washington Oct. 8. 1t received the
adherences of the American, French
and Russian governments, thus giving
the suggestion the favorable considera-
ton of three of the most powerful ma.
tions.
NJ De Wollant's message has not been
made public, but it can be stated that
the result will be an extended exchange
between the French and Russian gov
ernments regarding the proposals.
The Russian authorities have been
furnished with copy of the American
reply to the French note, wherein our
approval is given to the Russian sug-
gestion, so that 1t is none the less effec-
tive in giving American adherence to
the plan. It Is understood also that
Austria and Italy, and probably Japan,
look with favor upon The Hague sug-
gestion.
The movement promises to give the
first practical realization to the czar's
movement in bringing about the inter
national congress of The Hague. The
court of arbitration has received the ap-
prevail of the various governments rep
resented at The Hague and its formal
organization is IN progress,

ACTOR COMMITS SUICIDE.
Kilkary Took Morphine Because He
Believed His Wife Unfaithful.

BAINBRIDGE, Ca, Oct. l9.-Charles
P Kilkary, member of the Robson
Theater company, that is playing here
this week, committed suicide at the
Sharon House. The only reason as
signed for the act was an estrangement
between Kilkary and his wife, who is
also member of the company.
Kilkary being very Respondent after
the performance went to his room and
took dose of morphine, but not suffi-
cient quantity to kill him. He then
bought drachm of morphine and swal-
lowed the entire contents of the bottle.
It appears that the drug did not take
effect for several hours, as he appeared
at the theater apparently with the in
tention Of taking his part in the per-
Torrance, but he was not in condition
to go on the stage. His wife and other
members of the company, being
alarmed, summoned a physician. Kill
kary was taken to the Sharon House
and carried to his room, where he soon
fell into adeep slumber and all efforts
to save him were futile.

DELEGATES FAVOR
EARLY SETTLEMENT
Majority of the Miners Want
to Return to Work.
WAS LEFT TO A COMMITTEE

1t VIII Prepare Resolutions ON the
Terms Offered by the Operators to
Be Submitted to the Convention.
Quiet In Hazelton District.
SCRANTON, Pa, Oct 13.-The joint
convention Of the anthracite miners
which began yesterday again went into
executive session shortly after o'clock
this morning. There were numerous
conferences between the members of the
United Mine Workers delegates, but
when the convention went into session
today, no definite plan had been decided
upon, as for as could be learned. as to
what action should be taken in regard
to the wage advance.
The two plans suggested yesterday,
one that the whole matter be left to q
committee and the other that the ma
tional officers be instructed to find So
luton of the complicated problems, still
finds favor among some of the delegates.
The convention, Immediately after be-
ing called to order, plunged into the dis
cusslon of the 10 per cent increase, and
the wage scale In in all its various phases
was thoroughly gone into by the dele
gates. Finally>a motion was adopted
thata committee on resolutions be ap-
pointed for the purpose Of presenting to
the convention something tangible on
the wage scale and also on the other
grievances. The delegates were invited
to give the committee suggestions. The
resolutions committee was made up Of
ID members, as follows:
President Mitchell, the three district
presidents, Nicolls. Duffy and Fahey,
and three delegates from each of the
three districts.
The convention shortly before noon
took a recess in order to allow the COM
mtttee to prepare set Of resolutions.
W. D. Wilson, secretary treasurer of
the United Mine Workers Of Illinois,
visited the convention during the morn
ing session and informed the delegates
that the bituminous miners are willing
to render them financial aid, If neces.
sary.
From what can be learned from the
delegates it is believed that most of
them favor the acceptance Of the opera
tors offer of 10 per cent increase in
wages, provided there are some other
concessions. Most of the delegates feel
that an agreement will be reached.

Family Dispute Over His Sanity
Will Go to the Courts.
PARIS, Oct. 13.-Moses Fowler Chase,
the young millionaire of Lafayette, Ind,
has disappeared from the private insane
asylum near Paris, where he was placed
recently by his aunt, Mrs. Duhme Of
Cincinnati. The family dispute over
the young mans sanity has re-arisen
and will probably go to the courts.
A relative from Chicago has arrived
in Paris. He was sent by the Chase
family in Lafayette. He found Moses
in an asylum near here. While taking
proper steps to remove the boy the lat
ter suddenly disappeared.
The keepers-of the asylum said that
Chase had gone, but they did not know
where. No trace of him has been found
and there are divers theories as to his
disappearance.
Whether he has wandered off himself
or been spirited away can only be con-
jectured.
The Duhmes are now in America.
Their side of the case is in charge of Ed
mund Kelly, the American lawyer.

PEK1Na, Oct. 13.-The formal, and to

march through the Sacred City Is over,
the city Is once more under close guard
only occupied by some servants OF the
court and a sort of sovereignty. When
the subject of entering the Sacred City
was first preached. General Chaffee and
one or two of the generals were against
the plan, but the ministers were unani-
mously in favor of it, arguing that the
Chinese would always declare that Re-
king proper had never been taken, IN
less the Sacred City was entered by for
eign troops, also that it would be con-
sidered more holy in the eyes OF the
people.
General Chaffee based his objection
on the ground that the place was the
palace and private grounds of the en-
peror and royal family and that no pub
lie good could be gained by overrun-
ming it.
