JEROME KEOGH, the great Scran-

This Is what the Buffalo Enquirer has
to say about his contemplated move:
jerome keogh. the Scranton pool

world as one of the best experts at the

watching the crowds at the local pool
tournament and the interest in the
game here that Buffalo is Just about

eLAssBLowRRs FOR BRYAN.
Much Indignation at the Claim That
ALI Are Republicans


BALTIMORE, Sept 4-The Democratic
glassblowers of the city are up in arms
over a statement accredited to William
Peck, an employee of swindell Brothers.
that the glassblowers of Baltimore were,
to a man, for Mckinley.
An indignation meeting was held yester-
day and Peck was denounced for misrep-
resenting the views of large portion Of
his associates Frederick T. Daytime, also
an employe of Swindell Brothers, in
speaking of the matter, said:
I am a member of the Bottle Blowers
Association of this city and am well &C
quainted with the men who belong to it.
l am sure that al least two-thirds of them
are for Bryan
Mr.. Bayline said that the raise in wages
referred to by Peck as having been caused
by the Mckinley Administration is only
the restoration of a cut made about ten
years ago, and that this advance had been
promised during the last Presidential
campaign, but had not been given until a
few weeks ago, just in time for use in this
campaign. The use of more apprentices, y
said Mr.. Bayline in the factories is not
because of any scarcity Of journeymen,
but is simply for the purpose of reducing
the size of the payrolls, as an apprentice
| earns only half the amount of journey
man, There are at least thirty or forty
glassblowers idle in Baltimore now that

The statement that there were 60, 600
glassb1owers in Indiana who would vote
for Mckinley Mr.. Bayline characterized
as absurd. as he says there are not 60, 600
| glassblowers altogether in the United
States.

THE HAWAIIAN FINANCES
Difficulty of Keeping Gold for Cur
rent Circulation.
A Drain of Fifty Thousand Dollars Il
Month for Customs Dues, which
Must BE Sent Intact to the Sub
Treasury at San FrnHcisco-ReIief
by Means of Certified Receipts.

The problem of keeping gold in The ISL
ands of Hawaii is giving the Treasury Off
cials some anxiety. The collections of
duties the archipelago amount to about
$50, 900 a month, nearly all of which is
paid in gold The law requires that the
receipts of the customs office shall be
shipped intact to the sub-treasury at San
Francisco. That is done every thirty days,
and, as consequence, there is practi-
caIy drain OF sac, eco monthly on the
gold stock of the island
To complicate matters, payment for SUI
gar, which is Hawaii's chief product, is
largely made by the purchasers with
drafts upon banks on the mainland of the
tendency Of money is all away from the
islands and not toward them.
The banks and business houses Of Ha-
wall, in order to keep up their money
stocks. are required to ship gold by steam
ers from San Francisco. That costs about
one-han of 1 per cent for transportation
and insurance. in addition to the loss OF
interest involved in the weeks trip.
The merchants at Honolulu have been
trying to get permission from the Gov
eminent to pay their customs duties in
bills of exchange on San Francisco. The
| officials while anxious to accommodate
| them, have been unable to do so, since the
| law requires payment of duties to be made
only in gold. silver, greenbacks. or gold
| or silver certificates. solution Of the
| trouble seems, however, to have been
| reached by Treasury officials here. They
| have decided that Hawaiian importers may
| deposit gold or other lawful money, with
| the sub Treasurer at San Francisco, who
viii give his receipt for it
These receipts can then be paid in to
! the collector of customs at Honolulu, who
will occept them as cash. All the big
| mercantile houses of Hawaii have accounts
| with San Francisco banks, and the mat
| ter of transferring cash on account to the
sub-treasuFy viii be easily arranged
| In this way the flow OF gold from the
| islands and the cost Of shipping it back
| again Will be avoided.
AS at most other Pacific points, gold is
used almost exclusively in Hawaii. Paper
money IS not liked.
The chief dutiabIe importation into the
/ island is meat from Australia. II is eI-
pected, however, that with the duty on
| American beef abolished, as it has been
| since annexation, there will be large de-
nand for cattle from the mainland.

AN ADDRESS To vIRGINIANs.
Hon. w. Il. Jones Defines the Issues
of the Hour.


FREDERICKSBURG, Va, Sept. AT
SpottsyIvania Court House yesterday Hon
w. a. Jones, Democratic nominee for Con-
gress in the First district to succeed hiul-
self, addressed the people of that sect.o1
in a vigorous speech.
MI Jones stated that the currency ques-
ton was the dominating feature of the
campaign four years ago, and while that
subject is still important there are others
of more pressing concern, but he insisted
that the position taken by the Democrats
in 1896 viii yet be vindicated.
Mr.. Jones, in discussing the trusts, said
more trusts have been formed since March
4, 1897, when Mckinley became President,
than ever before. During 1859. 562
trusts were organized, he said, with cap
ital of IS, 0O0, 0G0 000 He denominated
these trusts as criminal industrial tyran-
MES and charged that the Republican
party, which has had control of both the
executive and legislative branches Of the
Government for the past two years, has not
enacted line OF legislation upon the sub
ject.
Mr. Jones said Imperialism is the sub
ject of supreme Importance in the cam
paign. It involves the very existence of
the Republic and the perpetuation of free
Institutions He charged the Republican
party VITA a lack of courage to enunciate
policy in regard to foreign acquisitions.
while everybody knew what the policy of
the Democratic party would be if entrusted
with the reins of Government. Congress,
he said, has the only right to declare war,
and Congress alone has the right to appro-
pirate money to carry on war, and yet for
more than year and a half one man has
arrogated unt5 himself the right and power
to carry on a relentless foreign war, cost
ing millions Of money and the lives of
thousands of American soldiers. This, he
charged, is criminal exercise of autocratie
power. He gave figures showing the cost
of the Spanish war, and said that from the
sordid point of view of money alone Mr.
McKinIey's policy was a colossal blunder-
Mr.. Jones tribute TO Bryan and Steven
son was a glowing one, and he closed his
powerful speech with an appeal to all
classes to stand by the Constitution and
uphold the Democratic party.
