Mr.. Jones yesterday. after indorsing
Richard Cookers advice to Democrats to
raid the polls on election night said:
Whatever violence and ruffianism has
developed during the present campaign are
directly chargeable to the Republican vice
presidential candidate. The men in buck
ram and khaki, the imitation soldiers. the
mock heroes who have been uniformed in
imitation of Roosevelt and who do not
carry their liquor meekly after dark, who
have been crowdng peaceable people off
the sidewalks and terrorizing country
towns are the men who set the example
of rowdyism. Roosevelt's undignifed Ian
guage and actions set a pace for his khaki
followers, and If he himself has been made
victim of 1t he is himself chiefly to
blame"

CHICAGO, Nov. 1.-The incendiary talk
of Croker and Jones is bearing fruit. Mr.
Bryan's supporters in this city seem deter
mined that no Republican shall speak In
Chicago while the Nebraskan is here. Sen
ator Hanna was almost mobbed tonight
No physical violence was offered, but for
nearly an hour a mob had possession OF
tieth and Halsted streets and refused to
permit him to speak. Kisses and all man.
ner of yells were intermingled with cheers
for Bryan. Finally, after the mob had
worn itself out, seventy policemen arrived
aud cleared the place. Senator Hanna then
delivered his speech.
Before Senator Hanna arrived at the
tent, the Associated Press says. speeches
by Judge Yates and others had been ac
corded a mixed reception by the large
crowd congregated beneath the tent. When
Senator Hanna stepped upon the platform
and was introduced by Sheriff Magerstadt,
a demonstration ensued which instead Of
subsiding after few minutes. continued
with full vigor. The senator waited pa
tiently for quiet to be restored, but, ap-
preciating that apparently a plan TO pre-
vent him from speaking was being carried
out by groups of men and boys stationed

way.
1.-The followers OF Mr.. Bryan are so
earnest for his success that they are

Hanna, but his words carried but a short
distance beyond the platform. They do
not dare to listen to the arguments that
aimed at their candidate" continued
the senator. 1T Is certainly gratifying.

Finding 1t impossible to proceed because
OF the unceasing noise. the speaker sat
down upon the table and as he gazed at

Then above all the confusion he was
heard TO shout: why don't you go over

are called upon in this campaign TO answer

extreme difficulties. THE people OF the
country are interested only in these mat
tiers which affect them individually. MANY
issues have been brought into this cam
paign for the purpose OF leading the peo-
pie away from the vital issue. What have
to say TO you is TO let we'll enough alone.

COL. DuRBIN's ADDRESS.

neighbors and friends who had combined

I'VE are now nearing the close OF another

Cleveland has been pleased to designate

IN mind, perhaps, the exceptional perform
ances of the Popocratic candidate for
President and the distressing prospect for
Popocratic success at the polls on next
Tuesday. Mr.. Cleveland is fully convinced
that the term Democracy. applied TO
the organization now posing under that
banner, is palpable misnomer, and he
has so expressed himself in language that
is susceptible of but one Interpretation.

tional rooster. Is now left with but little

present year for these works, as compared
with 1896: The average monthly wages paid
out are a little over 100000. as against

The average number of engines turned out
is twenty-eight per month. as against eight.

Mr.. Bryan out. Mr. Bryan denounced i'm
perialism. One of the engines that you
have here for expectation is to go to Japan.

In the East, then goodbye to any chance
OF extending our trade and obtaining

Eight years ago expansion was not in our

cloth was closed Immediately.
IF Mr.. Bryan had his way and we re-

AMERICAS COAL PRODUCTION.
The State of Illinois Figures Second
Largest in Total Tonnage by
Big Margin.

Based on returns of the total ton
mage, the production of coal in the
United States in 1899 is estimated by
Edward w. Parker, statistician of the
United States geological survey, to have
amounted to 25S,539,650 short tons, as
compared with 210 ,074 667 short tons IN
1898, an increase of IT'S per cent, ex-
ceeding by 100000 short tons the
estimates made on the coal tonnage
for 1898.
Later and more complete returns
may reduce the figures for 1890, but
even reduction of 100000 tons win
not amount to two per cent. Of error in
the total. The value of last years
product is estimated at $295 ,435, ,412, an
increase of over $51 100000, or 20 per
cent. above the value of the 1898 prod
uct.
In anthracite coal production the
figures for 1899 show 53,s57, ,496 long
tons, or 60,320,395 short tons, as COM
pared with 47,6G3,o75 long tons, or SO,
3S2,644 short tons, in 1898, showing a
gain of nearly S13,OoO,OOO.

AMERICAN DUEL IN GERMANY.
A SO-Callel Affair OF Honor De-
tween Heidelberg Students
,s,...,, l. Fatal. ..u->..>

During my residence at Heidelberg
q lamentable and terrible affair took
place that threw profound gloom
over the university and the entire
town, says a writer in Science. Two
German Students, having quarreled,
decided the earth was not large enough
for both Of them to live in, and resort
ed to the diabolical practice called the
american duel" In darkened room
the two young men drew lots, having
sworn that he who drew the black ball
would commit suicide The unhappy
loser went to his room and discharged q
bullet into his breast, but missed his
heart, and fingered for several days
on his deathbed. His parents were
summoned by telegraph and besought
him on their knees to disclose the name
of his antagonist, but he steadfastly
refused and died with the secret locked
In his breast.
The students not only excused his
conduct, but praised his courage, and
when his remains were taken to the
railway station to be transported to a
distant city they accompanied the
funeral cortege with torches and mu-
sic. The students claimed he was not
a suicide, for he was killed in an hon
orable duel, and they maintained that
his opponent was not accessory to his
death, because he shot himself. had
many arguments with them and never
could convince them of their extraor-
oiinary tergiversatiop.
