STRANGER SMITH
BXCITBN COMMENT
EndeaVOrS to Drive Kent
and Sussex Regulars
Into AddickS' Camp

Some excitement has been caused in
Kent and Sussex counties by the ap-
pearanee there Of short, stout man,
about so years old. who gives the name
Of Smith. and says he is an agent Of
the Republican National Committee.
He is calling on the Federal office
holders down there and informing
them that it is the wish Of the Ma
tional Committee that they swing in
and help elect Republican Legisla-
ture and two Republican United States
senators, and, if necessary, asst in
sending Addicks to the Senate.
He also tells them that the Republi-
cans have enjoyed the Federal pa
tronage for four years, but that now
it will be thrown to the Union Repub-
licans, and that if they want their
share Of it they must get in line
Among those whom he has visited
are the postmasters in Harrington,
Milford and Georgetown.
So far as can be learned he has
shown no credentials, and the Republi-
can leaders in Kent and Sussex are O
the opinion that he is nothing more
than an Addieks agent, sent into the
state to try to frighten some Of the
Regulars in line for the Addicks OF no
body legislative tickets set up in thosS
two counties.

BELIEF THAT THE FRENCH
NOTE WILL BIZ SHELVED

Berlin. Oct. 11.-Great Brltain's an
swer to Germany's second note was re-
ceived yesterday. It is an unreserved
and unconditional acceptance Of the
German position "A high official of tho
foreign Office made the following state
ment on the subject:
Great Britain is following the e1-
ample of the United States. AT the
same time she has directed her repre-
sentative in Peldn to proceed in ac-
cOrdance with Germany's second note.
Her answer makes no mention Of the
German note Of September, but there
was no necessity for any reference, be-
cause the September note merely laid
down certain general principles, while
the second note developed them into
practical suggestions"
So far as the French note is con-
cerned. the impression gained in Of
fetal circles is that it viii be Ehelved
indefinitely, since it is not regarded
here as touching live questions. Of
fetal opinion seems to be that it will
not disturb tho harmony Of the pow
ers. since It will soon be forgotten.
The situation is regarded as some
what more hopeful, In view Of the fact
that Emepror Kwang su is apparently
regaining authority.
The policy of the United States in
China is again criticized by the Ger
man press. "The Americans says
The Lokel Anzeiger, "desire above all
other things 70 play a leading role. but
IL they were to retire altogether from
China they would do more good than
harm"

made in criticism Of the policies OF the
party was contained in the interview,
consisting Of one rather short sentence,
that I gave to the newspapers while
the Porto Rico bill was pending. II
was, in substance, that / regarded the
bill as a grave departure from right
principles / still think so. / do not
believe that the legislative power Of
congress in territories is absolute. and
I do believe that the revenue clause
relating 10 duties and imposts ap-
plies to Porto Rico. These views, I
know, are not held by many able law
yers. 1t is q legal questiOn-one that
the political departments of the gov
ernment cannot fully adiudge. The
final and controlling word upon this
question Is with the supreme court Of
the United States. Cases involving the
question are, ! understand. now pend
ing, and q decision, in which we all
must acquiesce, cannot be much de-
ferred. / think, therefore, that voters
ought to vote with a view TO the right
decision OF those questions that are
directly and finally In the control Of
the president and congress.
"The general reasons ! gave I'm my
Carnegie Hall speech in 1896 why Mr.
Bryan should not be elected still hold
good with me. His election would, l
think, throw governmental and busi-
ness affairs into confusion. We should
not aid the election Of a president who
would, admittedly. If he could, de-
stroy the gold standard and other
things that we value even more. upon
the deceptive suggestion that he has
been bound and that the Republican
party will, after defeat, still have
strength enough to save the temple.
II viii be much better not to allow the
man with destructive tendencies so
much as to lean against It's pillars.
perhaps It will save you much
trouble If give you this extract from
my Carnegie Hall speech: When we
have a president who believes that It is
neither his right nor his duty to see
that the mail trains are not obstructed
and that interstate commerce has its
free way, irrespective Of state lines,
and courts that fear TO use their an
eient and familiar writs TO restrain
and punish law breakers, free trade
and free silver will be appropriate ac-
compartments of such an administra-
tion and cannot add appreeiably to the
national distress or the national dis
honor"

New York. Oct. 1.-THE police be-

bezzled over $4,000 from the Eliza
bethport Banking company, of Eliza
bethport, n. j., is in hiding in this
city. Former Judge Gilhooly, counsel
for the institution, has had several
men watching the fat Of Mrs. Anna
Hart, in West Forty-eighth street, on
whom Schrieber had lavished the
banks money. The watchmen were
tired out, Judge Gilhooly said. and he
asked the services Of the two detec-
tives to relieve them. Detectives were
assigned to the case.
Mrs. Hart is said to have diamonds
worth 10000, $4,000 in cash and s5,-
600 worth of personal property, the
remnants of Schrieber'H peculations,

by SehriebeT, where the defaulting

It is also said that Schrieber jointly
owned with his brother a house in Bay

It is believed at the Elizabethport
