LINCOLN, Neb., Oct. 3.-Governoi
Roosevelt was accorded a magnificent
demonstration yesterday afternoon by the
citizens Of Lincoln. Nothing equal to ii
has yet been seen during the progress of
the governors journey through the west.
Along the line of march from the station
to Capital House square the streets, win.
dows and balconies were filled with
cheering people. In many streets the
crowds were SO dense as TO impede the
passage of the carriages and the mounted
escort. Arriving at Capital House square
Governor Roosevelt was conducted to a
reviewing stand, before which the long
procession passed in review, occupying
more than an hour There were many
unique and amusing features in the pa
rade. After the procession had passed in
review Governor Roosevelt was conduct

BIG RAILWAY VENTURE.
Senator Clark and others to Build n
Rival to the Southern Pacific.

CHICAGO, Oct. 1.-Senator w. A.
Clark of Montana has consummnted
plans for the building of the Los An
geles and Salt Lake City railroad after
consultation with Salt Lake City and
Los Angeles capitalists who are in Chi
cago.
Another chief promoter is X. c. Ker-
ems of st. Louis. Republican national
committeeman from Missouri, who is also
here. Mr.. Kerens stated that the ne'
railroad absorbs the franchise and prop
erty of the Los Angeles Terminal COM
pany, thus providing for its entrance into
the southern California metropolis. The
Mormon church has practically promised
Il terminal site in the Utah capital, and
tract of ten acres will be turned over
to the railway for its stations and freight
departments.
Between the termin the whole un-
opened southwest will be spanned. The
Sierra Nevada will he pierced through
one of its southern passes, and the SUI
premacy of the Southern Pacific railway,
hitherto unchallenged on the Pacific
coast, will be effectually broken, at least
in southern California The death Of
Coils =. Huntington removed the last
obstacle to the success of the Clark
Kerens syndicate. The construction will
require $50, ,000, 900 in expenditures.

Soldier. opposcd to MCKINLEY.

The other day a train load of wound
ed and invalided soldiers, fresh from
the Philippines. passed through this
state on their way to the hospital at
Washington Some of them had been
wounded in battle and others had been
afflicted with tropical diseases, but they
were alike wretched and suffering. At
Harrisburg, the state capital they
stopped for time in order to change
from one road to another, and during
the wait they walked about, such as
could, in the neighborhood of the sta
tion. During the period they talked
freely, according to the local papers,
and what they said was interesting.
OF thirty men interviewed by the re-
porters OF the Harrisburg Star-Inde-
pendent not one had a friendly word
for Mckinley. Out of the whole train
load of brave men not one will vote for
the reelection of the president, whom
they unanimously accuse of RESPONSE
bility for all their troubles. Ninety out
of every hundred of the men who come
from that far distant and disease infect
ed region are incurably inoculated
with the fevers, and that proportion of
the brave men, sixty thousand of them,
who responded to the call to defend the
honor of the flag will go through
wretched lives to premature deaths be-
cause Of their mistaken notion of pa
triotism.
Is it any wonder that these suffering
soldiers are opposed to Mckinley?
Wouldn't any man who knows that he
has been beguiled by false pretense
into sacrificing his health permanently,
entertain the same opinion of the man
responsible for their suffering? If the
president had been just to the people
and faithful to the constitution there
never would have been ten thousand
soldiers sent to that disease breeding
place, and they would not have been
held there long enough to become in
| oculated. But McKinley's inordinate
ambition to achieve results that no
other president had attempted betray-
| ed him into this sacrifice of men, and
they who suffered are indignant.

AGREEMENTIN SIGHT
Washington Has Favorable
News From the Powers.
NEGOTIATIONS WITH CHINA SOON.
Russia In Close Accord with tn,
United statcs--Other European Ma
tions Preparing to Follow.
Germany's Position.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 3.-Favorable
news has reached Washington from the
European chancellories indicating that a
complete agreement as to China is with
IN sight. The agreement will be on the
basis of the propositions laid down by
Secretary Hay in his note of July 3 and
the subsequent notes treating of that sub
ject. The accord of Russia with the
United States is more complete than was
anticipated at first, and the reports show
that all of the European nations proba-
bly, are placing themselves in position to
take advantage of the opening made by
the United States and soon will be ready
to begin negotiations for settlement
with the Chinese government.
The Russians already have given notice
of such purpose, and while the text of the
French note on this subject referred to in
yesterdays press dispatches has not
reached the state department the off
cials are satisfied that this is correctly
reported and that France. like Russia, is
ready to negotiate at once.
As for Germany, Sither the position of
that government has been misunderstood
or it has sustained a change OF mind.
Possibly the former is the case, but. how
ever that may be, it is quite certain from
the advices which have reached Wash
imgton that the German government, up
on careful inspection of the plans for a
settlement projected by the United States,
finds therein nothing inconsistent with
the German aspirations. Therefore it may
be expected that Germany, too, will be
prepared soon to join in this common
movement toward Il settlement. 1t may
he stated that altogether the prospects of
an adjustment of the Chinese difficulty
without resort to formal war are very
much brighter than they were one week
ago.
The news developments are few, being
confined to n cablegram from Mr.. Con-
ger reciting the departure of the Russian
minister and suit from Peking and an
authentication by Minister WI of the
edict providing for the punishment of
Tuan and the guilty princes.

BAY STATE DEMOCRATS
Robert Treat Paine For Governor.
The Platform.

BOSTON. Oct. 3.-Robert Treat Paine.
Jr., will again head the ticket which the
Democrats of this state will he asked to
support at the coming election. having re.
ceived the nomination for governor at
the state convention held in Faneuil hall
The balance of the ticket follows: Lieu
tenant governor, Hon. John Il. ODon-
Jell of Northampton; secretary of state,
General Luther l.. Stevenson of Hing
ham; auditor Il. Gerry Brown of Brock
ton: treasurer. John l.. ChaifouX of
Lowell: attorney general, John c. Crosby
Of Pittsfeld.
The platform adopted declares the dom
inant question to be the continuance of
government by consent of the governed;
declares the Porto Rico law is an outrage
on the liberties OF the people; calls for II
free constitution for Cuba and in the
Philippines a speedy restoration of indc-
pendcnce: opposes any alliance. open or
secret. with any foreign nation: condemns
company stores in the coalheldS; con
demns useless commissions in the state:
calls for reductions in railroad rates and
more power for the railroad commission;
calls for the initiative and referendum.
also an inheritance tax and municipal
ownership of public utilities and con-
demns the Albany lease as a robbery of
the state.
An innovation was the reading Of the
Declaration of Independence previous to
beginning the work of the convention,
this preliminary being deemed fitting in
view of the fact that this convention was
held in the cradle of liberty on the anni-
versary of the first election of Jefferson.
The platform was prepared by Hon.
George Fred Williams as chairman of
the resolutions committee.

French Market For Our Coal.

MASSILLON, o., Oct. 2.-Robert p.
Skinner, United States consul at Mar.
seilles, who was largely instrumental in
the introduction of American coal into
Europe, is now spending his vacation
here at his former home. Mr.. Skinner is
enthusiastic in regard to the prospects OF
American coal products in the European
markets. "In Marseilles Alone" he said
during the first six months of this year
5000 tons of American coal were sold
and by January l expect the importations
to reach 100000 tons. In the early part
of August, when | left Marseilles, Amer
ican coal was selling at $6.75 a ton, or 81
lower than Cardiff coal"

That New York PartnershiD.

The evidences Of an existing political
partnership between Mr.. Croker and
Senator Platt, of New York, are strong
and numerous. The advantage to each
In such pooling of issues" is pal
pable. But it is equally clear that IL
there is such political firm as Croker
& Platt there is third partner. who
though silent, is quite as deeply inter-
ested in the concern as either of the
others. The silent partner in the con-
cern is Governor Theodore Roosevelt
of New York.
Some months ago 1t was charged that
Mr. Croker and Mr.. Platt were inter-
ested with the mayor OF New York in
trust to control the ice supply of the
city and extort big profits from the
sufferings of the poor. Governor Roose-
welt expressed the most intense indig-
nation at the time and declared that
II the facts were as alleged he would
use his authority as governor to re-
move the mayor and otherwise punish
the conspirators against the health of
the people of the city. The investiga-
ton proceeded, the disgraceful facts
were revealed, but the governor has
not acted. The reason is obvious.
Governor Roosevelt and Senator
Platt are so closely bound together in
their political relations that an expos
ure of one invol-es the disgrace of both.
The removal of Mayor Van Wyck will
be followed by complete exposure of
the conspiracy to rob the public by
over charging for ice, and Platt and
Roosevelt will be as deep in the mire
as Croker and Van Wyck are in the
mud. For that reason the promise to
enforce the law made by Roosevelt
three months ago is still unfulhlled.
