last, and who aspires to be politi-
cal prophet is good enough in late
prophesy to say that Mckinley will
carry 10 states this fall, and gives
Bryan the other 80. He is more lib
eral than Bryan himself for Bryan
told his callers after the convention
he did not know of state he would
not carry unless it was Vermont and
he believed he had a chance at it.

collection of pictures relating to the
present Chinese crisis, including
authentic portraits of the young EN-

The financial plank of the Phil.

The financial plank of the Phil
adelphia platform will please all
sound money men. In it the Republi-
can party renews its "allegiance to
the gold Standard" and declares its
confidence in the wisdom of the
legislation of the Fiftysixth Congress,
by which the parity of all our money
and stability of all our currency on a
gold basis has been secured"

The city of Boone has closed up
her saloons. That city also has an
ordinance which prohibits the use of

they cannot appear on the streets
nor use them for practice purposes.

The ostrich should be the Bryan
ite emblem, for as is told by the st.
Paul Pioneer Press: 1t has anti ex-
pansion wings, which will not lift it
above the ground; still less enable it
like the American eagle, to leave its
native shore and scream for freedom
in other lands. Its habit of hiding its
head in the sand when pursued is just
what the Bryanites are initiating with
the silver issue-the head and front
of their creed. 1t leaves its eggs to
take care of themselves without pro-
lection, just as the Bryanites would
leave the home industries of our
country. Finally, its chief use is to
produce gaudy feathers, of no use
save for ornament, like Bryan's
speeches."

Des Moines Capital: At Abba
Wednesday the republicans iof the
Sixth congressional district renom-
mated the Hon. John F. Lacey to the
office of representative, which he has
held for so long time. There was
no opposition. Major Lacey's serv-
ices, not only to his own state and dis

of the honor conferred, and it is a
matter for congratulation THAT the
people are to still further have the
benefit of his distinguished abilities.
He will be reelected by handsome

Nv
Iowa State Register: The nomi-
nation of Congressman Lacey, for
the seventh time, is the very best
evidence that the Republicans of
Iowa's Sixth district have become
thoroughly unified in sentiment and
purpose. The Register predicts that
that district will cast the largest
Republican majority on it's records
this year, and carry every county in
the district. Major Lacey has rem
dered the district, state and Nation
conspicuously able and faithful SER
vice, and his denomination is credit
able to the good sense of the Republi-
cans of that district. Iowa's delega-
ton has been the strongest and most
influential in congress for several
years, and it is cheering to Republi-
cans everywhere to know that every
Iowa congressman desiring re-nom-
ination has been or will be renomi-
mated. Congressman Lacey is one
of the strong men of the Iowa deleg-
alton. The unity of the party in his
district is also proof of his strength
with the people and the good man
agement he has exercised in the
party and public affairs placed in his
charge. He has represented one of
the best areas ON earth in such a
creditable and satisfactory manner
that the Sixth district has been re-
moved from the doubtful list and is
annually working its way upward to-
ward the top of the list. This is to
be campaign for the control of the
government, and the continuance of
the general prosperity of the people,
and the working Republicans of
Iowa's Sixth district will be on their
mettle until the votes have been
counted out of the ballot boxes.

this morning The stops of the day will
be numerous, the tour finally ending In
Rochester tonight. The general CONVEX
sation of the party was of the riotous
times of last night. Governor Roose-
welt said that the first attack on the car
riage in which he and Senator Fassett
were riding came from small boys.
81 saw the boys fire. vegetables and
decayed fruit, said the governor, sand
few sticks also were thrown. 1t was
body of grown men, however, who
pushed up against the carriage and
thrust Autographs of Stanchfield in my
face. Several times it looked as if it
was the intention of the crowd to rush
us out of the carriage, but a number of
men on horseback gathered around and
prevented. them. I did not see the fra
cas- in which the men were injured.
The Corning club, which got into a
fight in attempting to defend its banner
from attack, suffered severely. Six men
were quite badly wounded with stones
and sticks and blood flowed quite freely.
They were finally escorted to the station
by the police and put aboard their spe-
cial train.

ciety-Anglo-Germa Chinese Alli-

ST. PETERSBURG, Oct 30.-Official re-
ports show that the area under cotton
cultivation in Russian Central Asia has
increased 80 per cent this year. The
crop is estimated at 100000 pood, or
half the Russian requirements, whereas
previously only 6,OOO,OOO pood had been
procured from Russian possessions.
This result is attributed to the increased
raw cotton import duty introduced last
winter. The situation in the cotton in
dustries is improving.
The wholesale prices of petroleum and
petroleum shares have fallen sharply re-

this to campaign of the syndicates,

Amount of Insurance.
Exact figures on the amount of insur-
ance carried upon the destroyed build
ings and their contents will not be as
certained for week or two.
The insurance is carried principally
by local companies. The principal losses
are placed as follows:
The Tarrant building, 100000; the
Tarrant stock, 5000, 900; the Mercantile
building, $4,000; contents, 500. 900;
building occupied by "Opens, Smith e

buildings and contents on the north
side of Warren street from the Tarrant
building to the corner of Washington
street, $175, 900; other buildings, to-
gether with their contents, in Warren,
Greenwich and Washington streets,
$685., 900.
Prominent among those apparently
missing is Victor Hugo Mathusk, a
piano manufacturer.
Edward Fisher, his foster father, told
the police that Mathusk had an apart
ment with a lawyer, J. Dearborn, in
Warren street, and had left home at
noon, agreeing to come back at o'clock.
He had not kept the latter appointment
and nothing has been seen of him since.
Fisher greatly fears that he has been
killed in the explosion.
Scores of anxious persons thronged
the Leonard street police station all
night inquirlng for lost friends and rel
atives. Many women came weeping
only to learn that the names of their
loved ones were not on the list OF
dead or injured prepared by the police.
At the hospital there was continu-
GUS stream of people coming in with
blood trickling from their wounds, and
they were met at the door by'another
line of people with bandaged faces,
hands and arms.
