NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

| The following is taken from the
Daily Reflector of Norwalk, Ohio, I'M
der date of April 80:
| Mrs. N. L. Gebhart, whose severe
illness has been mentioned in these
columns, died Monday evening, at
$40 o'clock. at the family home, No.
10 Summit street. of pernicious amaze
mia, after an illness of five months.
| Mrs. Gebhart was taken ill last
| November and had gradually failed
| since and ten weeks ago was forced
| to take to her bed. Within the past
month she seemed to grow some bet
ter, although not much hope was en-
tertained of her ultimate recovery.
She grew suddenly worse Monday af-
ternoon about four o'clock and sank
rapidly, although retaining conscious
ness up to within few minutes of
her death.
| Her passing away has caused great
sorrow among her large circle of
friends and acquaintance, and espe-
cially among the immediate neigh
bors who will greatly miss her pleas
ant daily greetings. She was kind and
charitable to all in trouble or need, a
devoted wife and mother, generous
and gracious friend. AS a consistent
member of the Presbyterian church
she was foremost in ali church work
and untiring in her efforts for the
welfare of her church home.
Besides very large number of
warm friends she leaves to mourn
her death her husband and five chill
dren, Mrs. A, H. Swingler, of Burling-
ton Iowa, L. B. Gebhart, Mrs. A. w.
Sidnell, Lloyd Gebhart and Miss Myr-
| tie Gebhart, all of Norwalk.
The deceased, whose maiden name
was Sophia Leiss. was born at Miami

was married to Mr.. Gebhart at that
place in October, 1866 For a number
of years they lived in the west, COM
ing to Norwalk from Burlington, Iowa.

have resided here.
The funeral will be held Thursday
afternoon at o'clock from the house.
The services will be conducted by
Rev. w. A. Broadhurst, of the Pres
byterian church, and the burial will

900 within the past few weeks in
wheat She has son who has made
comfortable amount out of the up
ward rise in stocks, and it is he, it is

At any rate this woman has long de-
sired a narrow strip of ground adjoin-

questioned about the matter she simp-

BRYAN'S LINCOLN SPEECH.
Evidence That the Ncbraskan Does
Not Know When He Is
Beaten.

Mr.. Bryan's recent speech in Lin
coin, his first formal public express
sion on politics since his defeats
virtually a repetition of the opinions
he expressed after his defeat four
years ago. He declared then that the
campaign was but 1.-The first battle"
and he now reaffirms that, as ''princi-
pies live" and an election cannot
change principles, however much it
determine their application, the policy
which he represented will be still
maintained and striyen for. In his
new paper. the Commoner, Mr.. Bryan
msans to eXpound and uphold his
views. becoming thus a factor in the
creation of party sentiment.
According to Mr.. Bryan's recent
supporters the late campaign was the
last chance for redemption for a land
ito fastening ills prey" The Lin
coin speech discloses that the decisive
battle, in Mr.. Bryan's view, has yet
to be fought. He refuses to admit
that the election of Mckinley twice
in succession means Steadfast oppo-
sition to free silver. How, then, does
he explain the result? How does he
explain his own large popular vote.
which was gained In campaign
avowedly made upon the issue of
anti-imperialism, and which, in the
minds of many well-quanfied observ-
ers, was cast in spite of reservations
as to the Bryan silver policy?
Has Mr.. Bryan learned nothing as
the result of two decisive defeats? His
position may be attributed very just
ly to the intense ardor and the sim
cerity with which he clings to his
views. to the exclusion of all consid-
erations of practical conditions or eX-
pediency. His honesty in this posi-
tion is unquestioned, and in sticking
to the path of duty as he sees it no
one can condemn him. But it is to
be regretted that the plain fact
that the American people are
afraid of fantastic economic and
financial schemes and will not eX-
pertinent with them should not have
been grasped by Mr.. Bryan. The cam
paign of 1896 may have been but
first battle:" similarly, the cam
paign of 1900 may be regarded as
second battle. After what number of
unsuccessful battles will Mr.. Bryan
be content to admit that the iudg.
ment of the majority is unalterably
against his financial theories ?-Chi,

CHINESE EXCLUSION LAW.
II Is Full of LOOphoIes Through
which the CeIestials Evade the
Objects Sought bv Its Framers.

Washington, Jan. 9.-Representa-
tive jerks, of Wisconsin, has report
ed to the house bill agreed upon by
the judiciary committee, designed to
correct some of the abuses existing
under the Chinese exclusion act. The
legislation proposed was favored by
the attorney general and is the out
growth of conditions which have pre-
vailed in northern New York, as a
result of which it is alleged that
many Cinnamon have succeeded in
unlawfully entering the United
States. The. attention of the com
mittee. according to an accompany
ing report, was called to the matter
in letter received from District At
torney Curtis, of the northern district
of New York, which district he says
is being overrun with Cinnamon com.
ing into the country in violation of
the law.
They are made up of two classes,
the first of merchants and labore"S
who have a lawful right to enter the
United States and who come through
the custom houses and are admitted
without trouble. The other class.
Mr.. Curtis says, has no right to en-
ter. They are either smuggled across
the border, or come openly to the
border to be taken before a commits
sioner for trial. Since the supreme
court decision that persons born of
Chinese parentage in the United
States are citizens and entitled to re
enter without certificates. the num-
Der coming under the pretense of
having been born here has constant
ly increased.
More than 300 Cinnamon crossed
the border into Franklin county las.
year and were taken before Commits
sioner Paddock at Malone for trial.
The government, however, failed TO
secure any deportations to spea,, 81
in the trials before Commissioner
Paddock.
81 took personal charge of a num-
ber of cases before him in July and
August" says the district attorney,
land in my opinion many of his rul-
ings were erroneous
The district attorney says it is
highly important that the govern
ment be clothed with power TO direct
that these prosecutions be instituted
before such commissioner in the dis
trict as il may select, and one of the
amendments proposed by the bill has
this object in view. The district at
torney further says: "The efforts
of the government are being circum-
vented by the sheriff, his deputies
and by the United States commits
sioner at Malone. While endeavor-
ing to get the cases before other
commissioners, | have been informed
that parties who are steering the
Cinnamon notify the sheriff of Frank
lin county at what point on the bor-
der they can be found and he or his
deputies go to the border and receive
them and then institute complaint
before Commissioner Paddock

LARGEST IN THE WORLD.
Pipe and Tube Works to be Erected
at Conneaut Harbor, o.. by the Carr
fn.

Pittsburg, Jan. 9.-In explanation
of the extensive land purchases of
the Carnegie Co. at Conneaut Harbor.
o., President Schwab yesterday made
clear the plans of the company with
respect to these purposes. Mr..
Schwab states that for over a year
the Carnegie Co. has contemplated
entering into lines of manufacture
other than those in which it has been
engaged hitherto, and the first step
in carrying out this purpose is to be
taken at once by the establishment
of the largest pipe and tube manu-
featuring plant in the world at Con.
neaut Harbor, which is the Lake Erie
terminal of Carnegie's Pittsburg, Bes-
semer & Lake Erie railroad, 153 miles
from Pittsburg.
The company has purchased 5000
acres of land Immediately east of the
COnneaut Harbor docks and a large
part of this large tract will be uti-
liZed as a site for the tube works.
The works will stretch over a mile
of the lake front and will be the most
extensive plant of its kind in every
branch ever built. The investment,
exclusive of ground, will reach about
$12, 900, 600.

a NEW COMBINE.
Anna Gamation of American, English
and Canadian Steel Companies Is
Planned.

London. Jan. 1.-The negotiations
toward the formation of another
American iron and steel combination
which have been carried on recently
in London, reached point last even
ing where their elimination became
practically assumed. The companies
intending TO amalgamate are the Can
adian Steel Co., the Lake Superior
Power Co.. the American Sheet Steel
Co., the Otis Steel Co., the Pittsburg
Steel Co. and the Wellman-Seaver Co.
of Cleveland. Combined with these.
if the deal is completed, will be sew
eral English firms.
1t is the intention of the projectors
to erect plants at various places.
with the Welland carGl as an outlet.
The object is to minimize expenses
and, acting with the English coop
orators, to secure markets here and
elsewhere.
The project may be termed an
Observation-Disclosures combina-
tion to take advantage of existing
opportunities. 1t is freely discussed
in the English press. The reason
for holding the meeting in London
was that English capital and trade
are desired. The capitalization has
not yet been decided upon.
