QUITE TOO SIMULTANEOUS
A Man Who Wanted to be Kicked
 Heard a Story.


 'Td like to hire a good, able-bodied mule to kick me all over the parish. ' remarked young man in Cotton Ex- change alley the other day, as a wind .up to the story of a recent unlucky speculation. And I'd like to see you during the operation, Charley" said an old timer smilingly. That observation of yours, which is highly original, re- minds me of a little incident I wit messed good many years ago in Mem phis. I had reached the city on late boat one morning, and was going to my hotel at just about daybreak, when a young man came down n ear-by stairway that led to the principal gam- bling house of the place. He was well dressed and good looking, but his cloth ing was dishevelled, his face was hag- gard, and a single glance at him told

FORECAST OF CONGR ESS.
Hay PauncefOte Teeaty to Again Com
 sume Senate's Time.

l Washington, Dec. 1.-The senate will devote the greater part of its time this week to consideration of the Hay Fauncefote treaty if it should be nec- essary to do so in order to get the rati- lcation resolution acted upon, and in case there is any surplus time 1t will be devoted to tae consideration of the ship subsidy oll None of the appro- priation bills can be reported to the senate in time for consideration during this week or unt!l aeter the holidays and the same may be said of the army bill. There will be an effort made to report the army bill during the week, and it may be successful, but it cannot possibly be taken up before the senate convenes after the holidays. Senator Lodge is very hopeful of securing an agreement tomorrow to vote upon the treaty before the holiday adjournment next Friday.
 The present programme of the oppo- nents of the treaty is to have Senator Money speak tomorrow and other sen ators of the opposition in succession. A number of speeches have been promised on the subsidy bill, if opportunity of fers,
 fla the House.
 Under the concurrent resolution al- ready passed the house will adjourn ever the holidays on Friday. The week In the house is not likely to be impor- tant unless the river and harbor appro- priation bill should be taken up We'd nesday or Thursday. There has been no decision upon this point, however. the bill not having been yet reported to the house. Tomorrow is individual sus- pension day under the rules, but only brief time will be occupied with sus- pension business. Several bills to divide judicial districts and the Lanham, Tex as, claims bill probably will be passed. The remainder of the day, under an or der made yesterday, will be devoted to the consideration of private pension bills. Tuesday has been set aside for the consideration of District of Colum- bia business.

GIVEN TO PRESIDENT
M'NFNLEGY
A VICTORY FOR GOLD MONEY
Democrats and Republicans AK e
Have Reason for Se'f-COHgratu-
IatIOn at the Triumph of
Sound Principles.

NEW YORK, Nov. Gov Roosevelt
although he did not retire until after
midnight, was up in good season today at
his home III Oyster Bay. After breakfast
he looked over his mail and dispatches of
congra tulatlOnS.
The governor made this statement, COM
menting upon the Republican victory:
Il rejoice beyond measure in the way
the vote has gone. President Mckinley
had to face the most serious and c0mpli-
Gated problems that have been faced by
any president since Lincoln or by any
president a generation before Lincoln.
do not see how there could have been
any material improvement in the way he
has faced and solved each Of them. 1t
therefore seems to me g perfectly fair
test Of the way our people are willing
to back up q man who has done such
difficult and all-important work for the
nation / think that the supreme capacity
for government in a nation is clear
ly shown by the struggle through which
the nation has just passed. To have
failed to indorse President Mckinley
would have been a calamity compare BILE
only to a failure to indorse President
Lincoln in 1864. In all far-sighted and
patriotic Americans feel deeply thankful
for the way in which the American peo-
pie, as a whole, have shown THERE good
sense and absolute adherence to the cause
of honesty and national honor.
DEMOCRATS FOR SOUND MONEY.
Again, it should be a matter of the
deepest qualification at the way those
Democrats stood by sound money. They,
having Joined hands with their Repub-
lican brethren, share the credit for
victory which represents far more than
any partisan victory. In this contest for
true Amerlcanism, the men who believe
in it have stood together without regard
to locality or place of BIRTH without re-
gard to creed, to race, origin, without re-
gard to occupa ton or anything else eX-
cepting the needs of Americanship, in
way that is a splnedid omen for the fu-
ture and that starts the nation we'll on
the threshold of a new century,
Gov. Roosevelt received many messages
of congratu lation from Perry S. Heath, in
Chicago and Gov Yates, of Illinois, and
a CO olegeram from e A Lee, of the
English army The governor said he ex-
pected to remain at his home in Oyster
Bay for couple of days, when he would
go to Albany to resume his official du-
ties there.

The Minneapolis Star, the evening pa

mote the cause of the Democracy i'll

ance on the streets last night. The man
agement now in charge Of the Star did
not explain the failure to print an even
ing edition, but denied the story that
the Star had given UP the ghost.
Several weeks before election the pa
per was reported in sore straits, bat af-
ter a change of arrangements it contin-
ued publica ton. 1t was said at that time
that e. S. Corser had undertaken the
task of seeing the paper through the
campaign.
Mr.. COrser. when interviewed by the
Times last night, declared that ne had no
connection with the Minneapolis Star, but
on Monday last a number of the members
OF C.e editorial staff of the paper received
letters signed by Mr. COrser which would
contradict the surveyor general of logs.
This letter informed the members of the
Star staff that after election that Mir.
Corser would no longer pay their salaries.
For some time past the letter ran,
'I have been paying the salaries of the
employees Of the Star. My agreement to
DO this extends only to Nov. 6, and after
that time 1 viii not be responsible for
any of the Minneapolis Star bills.

CHICAGO, Nov. 1.-THE Record tomor-
row will say: Present conditions indicate
that the members of the Grand Army of
the Republic will not hold their next an
nual reunion in Denver, the place selected
at the Chicago encampment for the 1901
meeting. Unsatisfactory railroad rates
is given as the cause.
The matter of arranging rate affairs for
the next gathering of tie veterans
which is scheduled for next August, al
ready has been taken up in it's prelimi-
nary stage by the Western roads. The
old soldiers believe that the success of
a Denver encampment would depend very
largely upon the rates granted by the lines
operating in Western territory. They
think that nothing higher than a fat
cent mile rate could be seriously con-
sidered
The roads heretofore always have ad-
hsred to rate of one fare plus 50 for
the round trip for big meetings, and at
this time they show no disposition 10
break away from their policy.

WASBRUTALLY MURDERED
YOUNG WOMAN FOUND IN LIONEL
SPOT STRANGLED TO DEATH.

LEAVENWORTH, Kan, Nov. THE
dead body Of Pearl Forbes. aged twenty
years, was found in a ravine near her
home, in this city, this morning. Marks
OF her throat indicated that she had been
murdered by strangulation. The sur
roundings gave evidence of a terrible
struggle. Miss Forbes, who is of good
family, had visited her married sister, a
short distance from the Forbes residence
yesterday afternoon, starting for her
home at o'clock in the evening. AS far
as can be learned. that was the last ever
seen of her alive. There is no clew to
the murder. Feeling over the affair Is
intense, and a lynching woNd doubtless
result If the murderer were captured
soon.
1t is believed that the girl was outraged
and killed to stifie her cries. Further in
vestigation leads to the belief that the
murder was committed by two men.
Miss Forbes was employed in a local
candy factory.

NEWFOUNDLAND ELECTION.

Bitter Fight.

q
ST. JOHN, N. F., Nov. THE New
foundland general election will be held
tomorrow. Day by day the campaign has
increased in bitterness. Many eXtraord-
mary phases have been developed, show
ing how strenuoUsly the fight is being
waged by Mr.. Reid, the contractor in
whose interest the Tories are working,
that he may be enabled to transfer his
extremely valuable franchises, affecting
the whole country, to. a limited Inability
company.
Mr. Reid controls the railway lines,
and the liberals have been unable to OBJ
tain special trains to convey to their
homes from other districts voters in St.
Johns They have been obliged to
charter a sealing steamer the Diana, and
are dispatching four hundred men to-
night. Mr. Reid is carrying train loads
of voters for the Tory party.
The election virtually amounts to a
contest for the mastery of the colonial
legislature. Mr.. Morine, who Is Reid 9
general counsel, is leading the Tories,
and a number of Reid's employees are
among the Tory candidates. If the
Tories win, Mr.. Reid will control the
government. The present Bond ministry
is strongly opposed to his policy.
