truce courteously, and admitted his de-
feat, but said that it was impossible to
treat for surrender as long as any burg
hers wished to continued the war
President Steyn was more irreconcila-
BILE. He refused even to see the bearer

CAMPAIGN TRICKS.
Alleged Republican Circulars to A. p. A.
and Catholic Voters.

Napoleon, O., Oct. 31.-In his speech
at Wauseon, Mr.. Bryan again charged
the republican party with making spec
ious pleas to the different classes of
people, and in support of his assertion
produced circulars addressed to both
the Catholic church and the A. p. A.
Referring to these circulars, he said:
st have received to-day two circulars s
one being sent out to members of the A.
p. A. society asking them to vote the
republican ticket as a protest against
Catholics and the other asking Catho-
lies to vote the republican ticket as a
protest against the A. p A. Here you
find the republicans, having failed, in
their appeal to the people to support re-
publican principles on any broad
grounds, have now sent out circulars
appealing to religious prejudices"
Mr. Bryan's train made a long stop
at Lima, while he addressed the crowd
from a carriage. He charged the re-
publicans with evading the campaign
and specifically asserted that they had
run away from every issue.

NEW YORK'S FIRE DISASTER.
Not a Single Body Yet Removed from
the Ruins

New York, Oct. 31.-A revision made
tonight of those persons missing and
thought to have perished in the explo-
sion and fire at Tarrant & Co.'s drug
house shows 26 unaccounted for.
Of this number four are not known at
the addresses given by the persons re-
porting them as missing. Out of the
whole number eight are put down by
the police as employees of Tarrant &
Co.
Not single body up to 10 o'clock
tonight has been found in the ruins,
though what looked like parts of bodies
have been dug out. 1t is thought that
any remains found in the mass of
debris will be unrecognizable even
should the workmen find them because
of the tremendous heat and the fusing
of materials
For instance what were supposed to
be parts Of bodies taken from the ruins
last night turned out on examination
at the morgue to be blackened pieces
of melted gumarabic Again, to-day,
another mass was found which the
workmen first thought to be human
flesh, but is now thought to be melted
rubber. The searchers have found in
the ruins of the Home Made hotel a
number Of articles, but whether their
owners escaped or not is involved in
mystery. The authorities are pushing
the investigation into the amount of
explosives stored in the building with
a view to prosecutions.

LIPToN,S CORNER IN PORK.
A Belief Among Some That He Has
Cleared $35O,0O0.

Chicago, Oct. 31.-Lipton's brokers
| advanced October pork So to-day, put
ting the price to 500 in the last hour.
| They bid up the price, and the trade
made was with a friendly broker, only
250 barrels changing hands at the top
price There were early trades at SIS.
Shots have held out until the last min
ute on a number of settlements made.
The Englishman has held the price up
as matter of principle, as the short
interest has not been large The top
price is SO above the inside figure at
which any pork was originally bought.
There are conflicting opinions as to
how Upton has made out in the deal.
Some say it has not been profitable,
while others believe he has made $780,
000. There We're only $4,000 barrels OF
pork that could be delivered and the
Englishman owned them all, as well as
twice that number bought from people
who did not have a barrel they could
deliver. When the price reached SIG
some time ago the majority of shorts
thought it time to buy some of the pork
they had contracted to deliver at ap-
proximately $11 per barrel during Octo-
Der. Numerous private settlements are
said to have been made, so that while
bearish spectators in pork have receiv-
ed some painfully financial injury, the
wounds have not been mortal, A pri-
vate settlement of 1000 barrels was
made near the end of the session. Lip
toms representative allowed belated
short to take that amount at SIS per
barrel, assuring the buyer that at the
close the price would be 500 That he
knew whereof he spoke was made plain
to everybody later, for as the closing
bell sounded shorts were shouting bids
for $40.

His Sister, the Countess de Castellane-
| An Effort to be Made to Pay thu
| Counts Debts and Save the Estate
from Ruin.
Paris, Oct. 31.-The civil tribunal has
appointed George j. Gould trustee fol
| the Countess de Castellane, his sister
According to the pleadings in the case
her husband Count Boni de Castelane
spent 23,OOO,OOO francs in four years
whereas his income from his wifes for
tune is only 100000 francs.
The action in the case was the result
of a suit brought by Mr.. Gould against
his sister. The court granted his re-
quest and appointed him trustee.
Maitre Bonnet, when applying for
the trusteeship, informed the president
of the court that the countess herself
recognized that the counts expendit-
ures had been too lavish and that 1t
was necessary for some one OF expert
ence and authority to manage her al
fairs. He went on to say that, al
though the countess was a consentlng
party to the trusteeship, 1t was desira-
BILE that he should furnish precise de-
tails.
The income of the countess, he went
on to set forth, was 100000 francs.
Since the marriage 100000 francs
had been expended, and the debts now
amounted to 22,OOoOOO francs. The
Gould family had met in consultation
and unanimously decided to authorize
Mr. Gould to make the present appli-
cation. The debts, Maitre Bonnet said,
were the following: 3,7O2,000 francs in
connection with the charity bazaar
building, and the hotel in the Rue NAL
akoff, 6,5S5260 francs on mortgages
payable from 1900 to 1909, 4,29S155
francs on bills money loaned, 100000
francs owing to curio dealers.
Maitre Bonnet went on to assert that
the creditors distrained on the Seine
property and that the family had to in
tervene to prevent the sale.
With regard to the fitness of George
Gould to be trustee Maitre Bonnet
pointed out that his fortune was larger
than that of the countess, that author
ity based on affection would be great,
and that no one was better qualified,
as it was George Gould who was ap-
pointed executor of his ftaher'S WILL
Another consideration was that the
clearing away of the debts would take
a number of years and that therefore
it would be wise to economize and not
TO go to the expense of a paid trustee.
The tribunal, taking this view, decided
the plaintiff possessed better than
any other, of the necessary position
and authority to assist the defendress"
1t appears that the countess, who
was not present in court to-day, was
questioned by President Baudoin last
Friday. The Catsellanes are living to-
gether in the country.

HUNGARIAN SUCCESSION.
ArchduIxe Ferdinand's Renunciation
Causes Stormy Debate.

Budapest, Oct. 31.-A stormy debate is
proceeding in the lower house Of the
Hungarian parliament on the Archduke
Ferdinand's remuneration of claim to
the Hungarian throne in behalf of the
issue of morganatic marriage. Francis
Kossuth had insisted on the right of
Countess Chotek to become queen OF
Hungary, and the premier, Kolonan De
Sell had declared this was impossible.
Immediately there arose tremendous
tumult, with deafening cries OF "She
shall be queen!" When quiet was re-
stored the premier expressed the great
est respect for the wife of Archduke
Ferdinand, but explained that it was
impossible to alter the law of success
sion. This explanation he followed with
a strong appeal to the chamber to pass
the bill confirming the renunciation.

Several Others Followed Until 1890
o'cIoch--The Tvvo Severest Felt In the
Afternoon-Building Well Shaken
but No Damage Done,

Jacksonville, Fla, Oct. 91.-Eight dis
tinct earthquake shocks were felt in
Jacksonville to-day.
The first shock was at 1:10 a. m. and
shook some of the large buildings in
the city. Hundreds of people believed
that heavy ordnance was being fired in
or near the city. At 1925 o'clock an
other shock equally as severe was felt,
and other shocks continued at fifteen
minute intervals until 1890 o'clock.
At 4:04 o'clock this afternoon a sew
enth and more severe shock was felt
followed four minutes later by a report
and shock the severest of the day. The
last disturbance made the window
panes rattle in several sections of the
city.
The local weather bureau official real
lied the nature of the shocks at the
first and kept the time. Director Mitch
ell of this department could not say offi-
cially, as he had no instruments to de-
termine the matter, but stated it as his
opinion that the vibration passed from
south to north There was no disturb
ance in the water noticeable and the
shocks were not severe enough to cause
any damage.

discovered two depots of arms, rifles

to show that the girl had died from
