Corrupting Opponents.

NEW YORK, Oct. 2S.-It was ru-
mored tonight that Chairman M. Linn
Bruce, of the Republican county COM
mittee, is investigating a report that
Tammany will attempt to capture the
election by a wholesale corruption of
the assembly district leaders on the
Republican side. 1t is alleged that not
less than forty men appointed as Re-
publican inspectors of election, poll
and ballot clerks are enrolled Tammany
Hall Democrats. The officials -sus-
pected are reported to be in districts
all over Manhattan, one of the assem-
bly, districts specified being the
Twenty sixth.
The election officials at each polling
place are recommended by the assem-
bly, district leaders of the two leading
parties to their respective county
committees and by the latter by the
board of elections. For the members
of either party to serve as election
officials of the other party it would be
necessary to pass the, scrutiny Of the
assembly district leader. There have
been hints ON collusion between the in
terested parties for several days.
Names and all information are said to
have been presented to Mr.. Bruce to-

GIRL ROBS To SAVE
Charged With Defraudlna to
Help Her Sick Brother.

CHICAGO, Oct. 2S.-Affection for her
dying brother, whom she wanted to
send to Colorado, it is alleged, caused
Anna Jasper, eighteen years old, to de-
fraud Clapp & Cowl and other local
jewelers. of $500 worth of diamonds.
The brother, Aaron Jasper, was sent
West and died of consumption in two
weeks.
The parents, with their younger chill
dren, are in Denver, mourning over the
boys death, while the two daughters,
In Chicago, have been charged with
conspiracy to defraud. Mrs. Lizzie
Richman, the older daughter has been
held to the grand jury under bonds,
and Justice Caverly last evening con-
tfnued the hearing of Annie Jasper, al
legged to be the chief conspirator, until
today. Jeweler L. v. Cowl alleged that
the conspiracy to defraud included his
firm, which is said to have lost $780,:
John Friedman, who asserts he lost
$3.50; G. Gross. coal and iron merchant,
said to have loaned the family SIS, and
the Fidelity Mortgage and Loan com-
pany, said to have lost $110.
1t is said Annie Jasper went to Clapp
& Cowl and rented the finest diamond
ring they had in the store, alleging
that her mother wanted to wear 1t to
wedding, and, succeeding in this,
placed an advertisement in the news
papers requesting diamond dealers to
visit the Jasper home If they wished to
sell their jewels.
John Friedman said he delivered a
pair of diamond ear drops valued at
$3.50 to Mrs. Lizzie Richman, and was
told to return in the morning, when
Mrs. Richman's mother, Mrs Jasper,
would pay him. When he called, Fried
man alleges, he learned the mother had
left the city.
Both jewelers. aver that the diamonds
were turned into money as soon as re-
ceived and the proceeds used to take
the consumptive to Colorado.
Sobbing and defiant, Annie Jasper
refused to admit that she conspired to
secure money by means Of fraud, or to
acknowledge that her brother had been
sick, and denied knowing of his illness
until she received telegram from the
Denver health authorities that the boy
was dead. She asserted that he left
Chicago to go to Benton Harbor for a
few days vacation. Annie stated that
she did not know where her mother and
father had gone. The girls have en-
ployed three attorneys to defend them.

TOWING CANAL BOATS
BY ELECTRICITY
Three Times the Speed of Horses and
Mules Is Made.

SCHENECTADY, N. Y, Oct. 2S.-A
test of new electric system of canal
towing, commonly known as the 'telec-
tric' mule, was made on the Erie canal
here today in the presence of Gov.
Odel and officials of the state public
works department, on the towpath
opposite the general electric works.
Four boats, each loaded with $50 tons
or sand, were used. First two boats
were started from each end of the
track to demonstrate the speed with
thls load and the ease with which the
Doats ana mules pass. One, two, three
and four boats were drawn against the
current. The electric motor took. the
four boats for the distance at a speed
of five miles an hour. The ayera pc
speed with horses or mules is one and
one-half miles, and about two miles
with steam.

termined to establish order at any cost.
Newspaper reports of the disorder in
Bilbao represent the strikers as hav-
ing established reign of terror. This
morning they attacked and pillaged
market stalls and shops and gorged
themselves with food and drink. After
destroying what they were unable to
consume, they proceeded to erect barri-
cades in the streets. AS there were
only 5000 troops in Bilbao, reinforce
ments were urgently summoned. The
infantry charged a number of the bar
ricades. The strikers defended them
with reckless courage, and desperate
fighting ensued. Five rioters were
killed and many were wounded. 1t is
rumored that many soldiers were
wounded by revolver shots. AS the
barricades were captured they were
destroyed, and the rioters were ex-
PEELED from the main streets by the
cavalry, who charged with drawn
sabers.
According to the latest accounts re-
ceived here, the rioters have again
started to pillage shops, and are en-
deavoring to raise new barricades.
Some fears are entertained that the
rioters will reunite in force and attack
the troops before reinforcements ar
rive.

JAP REGISTERS
A WARM DENIAL
No Dealings Between Japanese
Official and Philippine In
surgent Leader.

WASHINGTON, D. c.. Oct. 2S.-Mr.
Takahira, the japanese minister, eX-
pressed great surprise at statement
in Gen. McArthur's telegram of Dec.
%, 1900. published today, that evidence
had been discovered of dealings be-
tween an official of the Japanese con-
sulate at Manila and the insurgent
leader, Trias.
This is the first intimation of such
an occurrence that has reached me"
said Mr.. Takahira, "and, while Gen.
McArthur'S statement was undoubted-
ly made in good faith, 1 cannot but
think that he was mistaken. But if,
contrary to this belief, the Japanese
official in question did really act as
charged, he was not only guilty of a
gross dereliction of duty, but of a
wholly unauthorized departure from
the friendly attitude invariably MAIN
tained by the japanese government
and it's officials since the inauguration
of diplomatic relations with the United
States. At the very time when he was
alleged to have been plotting with
been relieved by the cooperation of
the United States and Japan with the
European powers, and the relations of
the two countries were most cordial.
Marquis Yamagata, warm friend of
the United States, was premier, and it
is ridiculous to suppose that he or
anyone associated with him in the gov
ment would have sanctioned so treach-
erous a breach of friendship as that
attributed to this petty official in Ma
Mia.
zone cause for doubling the relia-
bility of Gen. McArthur's sources of
information in this case is the nature
of the concessions alleged to have been
sought from the insurgents on behalf
of Japan. Even a superficial knowl-
edge Of our situation should have been
sufficient to show that they were use
less to us. We have all the coaling
stations that we need, and the railway
enterprises on foot in our country give
full occupation for all the energy and
capital we have to expend in that di-
rection. So far as freedom to trade
is concerned we have always known
that we would receive that from the
United States, and the gratifying
growth of our commerce with the ISL
ands, contemporaneous with American
occupation, convinces us that we were
correct in that anticipation, while it
fully satisfies every ambition and de-
sire We ever entertained regar ing the

ST. LOUIS FURRY
IS NEARLY OVER
Officers of Trust Companies
Believe Normal Conditions
Will Now Be Resumed.

ST. LOUIS, Mo, Oct 28.-The state
ment Of President Julius S. Walsh, Of
the Mississippi Valley Trust company,
whose sentiments are echoed by other
trust company officials of st. Louis,
that the situation is thoroughly in
hand, the excitement has subsided, and
from this on we expect business will
be conducted in the usual orderly man
ner," expresses the opinion that seems
general tonight, after the unwonted
financial conditions which prevailed
here during parts OF yesterday and to-
day.
Officers of all the trust companies
state that voluntary offers Of help were
received from financial institutions at
New York, Philadelphia, Chicago, New
Orleans, Kansas City, Boston and
many of the smaller towns of Missouri
and Illinois, but all were declined for
the reason that they had sufficient
cash with which to handle their bust
ness. Expressions OF confidence and
offers of aid on the part of the national
banks. financial and other institutions
of st. Louis helped to strengthen the
situation and restore confidence.
The run on the banks continued to-
day, but excitement subsided before
the closing hour.

MADRID, Oct 2S.-Gen. Velasco, the
military commandant at Bilbao, tele-
graphs the government that at day
break this morning the garrison occu-
pied all the strategic positions with the
view of protecting the banks, public
buildings, factories and markets, and
especially the Jesuit and other relig-
ious houses, which the rioters were de-
termined TO attack.
Gen. Velasco reports that the cav
airy repeatedly charged the rioters in
the old part of the city. Some of the
rioters were killed and many wounded.
Revolvers and stones and other mis-
siles, Gen. Velasco adds, were used by
the rioters in their struggle with the
soldiers. The principa, railways are
under the protection of the troops.
Trains continue to run through with
extreme caution. All other traffic in
and outside Bilbao has been stopped.
A number of miners came in today
and joined the strikers.
1t is believed here that the movement
in and around Bilbao is assuming the
proportions of a social revolution, long
planned by socialists and anarchists,
as was done in Barcelona two years
ago. Premier Villaverde has de-

Such will be the command heard

The requisite number of men
necessary will have been secured
ere this is read, and the pleasure
of the Adjutant General awaited
to muster the company into the
Wyoming National Guard.
The enthuaiasm of the members
is the best indication of success,
and it is sufficient to say it is of
the heat stamp. Will Ashley's
father informs us that Will is so
interested in the work that
he takes the oblique march
across streets and alleys,

bucked and the next thing John

He gave the proper command and

rest of the veterans but feel sure
their hearts will bound when the
assembly sounds across the lis
tening fields, and the sleep of the
blest will come to us all when the
sweet sad wall of ''taps" mingles

trust that you will give us that
encouragement which is necessary
to the C of su:h an organi-
