The general is in excellent health. It feels good,'' said General Grant, ito be at home with friends again.

The benefcent results of ed ucation are rapidly clearing away the ignorance of the natives, which in real ity was the principal cause of trouble" After a short stay in this city the gen eral will leave for San Antonio, where he will command the department of Texas.

No f,a nacr G9- Cholera.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 14-The army medical officers say there is little dan- ger of the bringing of cholera to this country by the army transports from Manila. The Sherman, which arrived at San Francisco last Thursday. re ported that she had seven cases Of cholera since leaving Manila This fact gave rise to an apprehension that the disease might still have been active aboard ship when the Sherman arrived at San Francisco, but Surgeon General O'Reilly, after carefully looking over the dates. stated that the last case had occurred twenty-one days before the transport arrived at San Francisco. As the period of incubation of cholera is only five days the disease must have died out long before the ship arrived in quarantine.

 PARIS, Oct. 14.-The Boer generals Botha, De Wet and Delarey have ar rived in Paris. Senator Pauliat and the pro-Boer committee received them at the railway station. After speeches of welcome had been delivered the party drove to hotel.
 The precincts of the station and the route to the hotel were thronged with spectators who heartily cheered the generals, though the crowds present and the enthusiasm manifested were nothing like the assemblages and demonstration witnessed on the occa- sion of MT. Kruger's arrival here two years ago.
 The generals called at the Elysee pal ace, where they signed the register. From the palace they went to the resi- dence of Premier Combes, where they were received by the premier. They explained to Mir. Combes that they had been greatly touched by the courtesy of the French people and that they considered it their duty to express their STdIILuuG 10 IuG nIGACA sOfCIAAhSHl. !. M Combes thanked the Boers for these words and shook hands with them. The generals then proceeded to the for eign office, where they had brief and similar interview with the foreign min ister, M. Delcasse. Afterward they yis- tied the presidents of the chamber of deputies and the senate. As they drove about the city they were acclaimed by fhe crowds

New York, Oct 14.--To q represen- tatiYe of the Evening Post who asked him his views in regard to the out look for and the duty of the democ- racy in the approaching congressional elections. eX-President Grover Cieve- land said: Ut seems to me that if the democracy is really i'll earnest it cannot fail largely to increase it's rep resentation in the next congress but in order to do so I think that there must be a constant and stalWart insist ence upon the things which are recog- nized by all to be true democratic doctrines. Of course. by far the most important of these is tariff reform.
 On this issue, am satisfied that the
 democracy is face to face with a grea. opportunity. All of tho signs of the times point to a recognition, far be yond all party lines, of the benefits which would accrue to the people by a readjustment of the tariff, and it would be forse than folly for the party under the stress of any temptation or yielding to any allurement to permit | this to be subordinated to or over shadoWed by any other issue.
 ''The present restlessness in repub. l lican circles on this subject, often amounting to protests against repub- lican protective theories should warn
 the democracy of an impending dan
 ger.
 II mean by this possibility that oul opponents may crowd us from our. DO sition on this subject, if we allow then to do so by our lukewarmness and in
 difference, and to occupy our ground
 just as we permitted them to crowt rus from the ground that belonged tt us on the quertfon of sound money.
 am very much pleased with the deliv erance of the New York democracy o1 l the tariff issue, and it was fit ant
 proper that the Empire state should

 tions of the Place.
 San Francisco, Oct 14.-Speaking of conditions on the island of Samar, General Fred Grant, who has just re- turned from the Philippines, said in an interview: 'sSamar is enjoying the first period of peace that it has ev- CT known and am entirely satisfied that the inhabitants of the island will not attempt to make any further trouble for our government. Now that they have been forced by the stress of military operations to cease their hostilities, the natives, for the most part, seem absolutely contented with the new order of things. When l first went to Samar, it was a case of fight our way everywhere and protect yourself while so doing. A soldier could not venture much out of hailing distance of even the conquered towns without being set upon and killed by savage natives. Now an American can go anywhere and go unharmed. The MerOs, of course, will commit acts of depreciation now and again, but it needs only a strong force to hold them in check. A little trouble may also be expected from the natives of the Sulu group, who are more ignorant than those on the other islands" General Grant paid 8 high tribute to the services in checking the cholera epidemic rendered by Surgeon Reno Sergeants Pinto, Dekraft and Stock. dale.

Deadly Mine Explosion.

SPRINGFIELD, III, Oct. 1.-Two men were killed, four fatally and oth- CTS seriously injured in an explosion at Victor mine, Pawnee, eighteen miles from here The explosion occurred just before the day force of 190 men went off duty and was caused by too much powder in blast, the concussion caus- ing coal dust which thickly overhung the mine to explode with great force Some idea of the force of the explosion can be learned from the fact that all those killed and injured were about 4,0O0 feet from the place where the shot was being fired.

TROOPS AWE INDIANS.
Trouble Over Election of Chief of
 ChoctaW Nation.

WASHINGION, OcI. l4.-A serlouy conflict between partisans of rival can didates for the governership of the Choctaw Indian Nation, in Indian Ter Eitory, has been averted by the pres ence of federal troops, according to dispatches received at the interior de partment. Governor Dukes, the outgo- ing governor, who is said to be g parti- san of Hunter, one of the candidates, took charge of the capitol building, as sisted by armed horsemen, and, ac- cording to Indian Agent Schoenfeld, arbitrarily permitted persons to enter and sit as members of the ChoctaW council upon commissions issued by himself and refused to admit members having certificates from regularly con- stituted authorities.
 Agent Schoenfeld appealed to Wash ington for troops. On their arrival the Choctaw council was permitted to en- ter the building and resume it's ses- sions. The official dispatches received show that the vote of the council for the office of principal chief (goyernor) was counted. Green McCurtain had a majority of 6S9 and was duly sworn in. Agent Schoenfeld wires that the presence of the troops prevented a clash between contending factions and that he now anticipates no further trouble. All the armed men in the Choctaw capitol or capitol grounds have been disarmed or removed by the troops.
 McCurtain also wired that by in structions of Dukes the latter's armed light horsemen posted in the capitol ordered many members and council of f1cers from the building. 'sThe horse men," he added, .are appointees and bitter partisans of Dukes, with whom Marshal Hackett and deputies are CO operating. Openly stated, Dukes pur- pose is to combine these conditions and prevent the counting of vote for chief until expiration of time fixed by law and thus continue himself in ofhce."

 Dallas, Texas, Oct 1.-The sale of the Dallas Ice Factory. Light and Power Go to a Kansas City man is be, lieved to be another move toward the merging of all the electrical plants Of this city and many of those in the sur rounding towns and cities of Texas. Already a concern known as the Dallas Electrical Corporation. and chartered in New Jersey, with a capital stock Of SS,jOO,O ,OOO, is said to have absorbed the Dallas Electric Light and Power Go. the Standard Light and Power Go, the Rapid Transit Street Railway Co and the Consolidated Street Railway Go, with an ultimate intention of building a network of interuburban lines with ia a radius of 100 miles of Dallas, which district has a population of over a million inhabitants.
 A Boston concern has acquired sev. eral valuable franchises for a metro politan street railway system in Dallas, within the last few months, and has installed part of the system.
 Interurban lines are in operation be tween Dallas and Fort Worth, a dis tance of thirty miles, and between Denison and Sherman, nine miles.
 A representative of an Ohio corpora lion. which has several hundred miles of electric lines in operation in Ohio Indiana and Michigan, presented a proposition to a meeting of Sherman business men last night for the build. ing of an electric line between Sher man and Waco, via Dallas, to cost s., 0O0, 900. It was stated that the pro jectors had aa ultimate object of ex tending the road to Austin, and the con struction of from ten to twenty feed lines of from twenty to forty miles, te connect with the main or Sherman Austin line.

sound the right note. 1t is my clear conviction that the best assurances of success for the democracy in the next national campaign will be found in a, sincere and unremitting .nsistence upon it's old time doctrine of fair and benefcent tariff adjustment This in-' sistence should be from now on. 1t need hardly be said that success will depend upon the presentation of tarim doctrine, not only recognized as truly democratic by those who may be termed veterans in the party, but also commendin ; itself to the hosts of the younger men of our land. Thousands of these await the opportunity to espouse a cause which must appeal to disinterested love or country, and which is based upon thoughtful regard of all our people and the safety of the institutions under which we live. To those young men no hope is offered for the realization of their patriotic aspira- tions excepr through the conscientious endeavors of the democratic party.
 T am at loss to understand by what process of reasoning the notion has gained a footing in certain democratic quarters not only that no importance attaches to democratic ascendancy in the next house of representatives, but tVeH LIldI It IISHL De auVauJdgeOuS to party prospects in 1904 for it to con tiHue in it's present minority now. Political warfare ought to be regarded ! as continuous, and if the results bat tied for are worth having at all they I are worthy of our best efforts at all
 times and under all circumstancess l Constant vigilance and unrelenting att
 tack are essential to victory. Armies
 are captured by first driving in the

 prospects of the democracy in the pres
 ent campaign are to be marred by any
 lack of hard work and strenuous fight ing.'

work For Twenty Thousand.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Oct. IA Practically all of the window glass factories in the country started today for the season. The starting of the factories in Indiana alone means en- pioyment to nearly 10000 men and boys. The men in all branches of the trade will receive higher wages than last year. The window glass combina- tions are securing the country for enough skilled men to run their plants, but there will probably be a greater shortage of help than ever.

Wilkesb are. Pa, Oct 14.-President Mitchell of the Miners union refuses point blank to talk for publication at this time on the new proposal for arpl- traitor of the coal strike laid before President Roosevelt last night by the presidents of the coal carrying rall- roads. No official information can De had as to his views and he hlmselE does not know whether he will make statement later in the day. The news of the new offer was yariously received bv the striking miners. A large num- Der favor q rejection of the offer as for mulated by the operators, while equal lv as many see some good in the offer. The miners. however. have the great est confidence in the judgment of their loader and 1t is certain they will leave the matter in his hands.
 The citizens of the region generally are rejoicing at the new turn of affairs and feel confident that the step just taken by the operators will result in much good if not a speedy settlement Of the great conflict.
 President Mitchell received the news from the representatives of the press after 1 o'clock this morning. He had been informed that 8 conference was ii progress in the White House and de cided to wait to hear what it's result would be. He declined to discuss the offer and immediately retired. After breakfast he said he had read the op- orators address to the public, but told the newspaper men that he did not know whether he would have anything to say during the day. His attention was called to the assertion in the ad- dress that possibly only one-half of those on strike are members of the union. and he also declined to discuss this phase of the document. -
 Comparing President Mitchell's offer made to the president of the United States ten days ago with that of the operators made last night, there are many persons who look upon the op- erators' offer as counter proposition, and believe that the miners will treat it as such MT Mitchells offer to the president was that he should appoint the commission. The operators go that far and step further by stipulating that the members of the commission must be selected from various occupa- tions or professions suggested by the companies. Gossip at strike head quarters showed that many miners were against the new plan because no recognized representative of the work men is included in the operators sug. gestions unless he can be selected un- der the head of "a man of prominence, eminent as ssciologfst.
 Objection is also expressed to clause 8, which, the strikers say. limits the president of the United States to SC 1ect a judge from about four men. Tn fact, the element against the latest of

JUDGE GAGER's DECISION.
It Settles a Case of Many Years
 Standing.

Standing.
 The long pending decision of Judge Gager of the superior court in the case of Ann Partree vs Theodore Atwood ct al arrived to-day. Judgment is given the plaintiff in decree that is most sweeping in it's details and provisions. The suit was to recover property valued at about $25,000 and known as the Oriental stables on East Main street. Matthew Lynch, John Partree and F. B Norton were concerned in it. Lynch lost the property to Atwood, by fraud, he claimed, some years ago. Judgment in the present case is to the effect that Atwood and all persons claiming to act under his authority are restrained by penalty of $15,000 from making any use of the Judgment in foreclosure given Atwood and against Lynch some years ago. They are also enjoined of taking any use or execution of process founded thereon for the purpose of de- laying the plaintiff in taking possession of the premises in question. An &C., counting of the rents and profits of the property since April, 1885, Is asked from Atwood, and Atwood shall make good to Partree for the use of the premises since that day. O'Nei1l and Burpee appeared for the plaintiff and Root and Warmer for the defendant.

fer of the operators DICK naWS III eseay clause of the new offer
 Those in favor of the plan feel that President Mitchell should accept U and trust to President RooseVelt lo make the board or commission as in- partial as it is in his power to do unuer the conditions laid won by the opera tors. They do not favor counleI I proposition, as is being suggested Dy those against the latest plan, on the ground that it would do no good and would cause public sentiment, Whlcn the miners think is with them, to turn toward the operators.
 The best Judgment of those Wno have been associated with PreSlueHI Mitchell through the strike is that the arbitration plan is unsatisfactory 70 him. Owing to the tremendous press ure being brought to bear on both sides to end the conflict it is not m probable that the miner leader Will waive his objection and advise that the proposition be accepted.
 The three district presidents are not here. but they are on their way to this city. They will hold a conference 1m- mediately after they all arrive. Ihefe is some talk that joint convention or the three anthracite districts may De

 President Mitchell at noon to-day told an Associated Press representative that no settlement would be made oy the officers of the union without the calling of convention.

 He declined to make any further statement -.a

AGAINST TICKET scALPERs.
Decision of Importance by Wash.
 ington Judge.

Decision of Importance by a Wash
 ington Judge.
 WASHINGTON, Oct. 14.-A decision of sweeping importance to ticket scalp CTS and the railroad passenger busi- ness generally has been delivered by Justice Hagner of the equity court of the District of Columbia, who perma- nently enjoined thirty three of the local ticket brokers from selling the Grand Army special excursion tickets issued by the Pennsylvania, Southern, Balti- more and Ohio and Chesapeake and Ohio railroads. The defense of the brokers was that they were pursuing legal licensed brokerage business and that the railroads in combining in the establishment of joint ticket agency here during the encampment for the yising of return tickets, etc, violated the Sherman antitrust law.
 The court held that the tickets sold by the roads on account of the Grand Army encampment bore contracts signed by the purchasers in the pres ence of a witness and were absolutely void when used by any other than the original purchasers The tickets dis tinctly read that any one except the original purchasers attempting to use them would be subject to prosecution for forgery. The contract signed by the original purchaser is absolute, ac cording to the court, al Stany violation of it constituted fraud on which the suit at bar for the injunction properly was based The court declared that the contentious of the complaining roads were tenabie.
 As to the claim of the defendants that the roads violated the antitrust law, the court held that the joint ticket agency could not be considered in that light, as the agency had nothing to do with the fixing of rates. Further, the defendants had shown that they were violating the law and could not press as defense the violation of law by another party.
