CITIZENS AFTER OFFICIALS.
Monster Demonstration in Memphis
designations Demanded.

dispatch from Memphis, Tenn last
night says: AS an aftermath of the excite
ment Monday night, in which Deputy Sher-
ifs McDermott and Mitchell lost their
lives during their raid of peco gambling
house in the tenderloin district, a monster
mass meeting was held tonight. at which
addresses were made by prominent citi
zens. Resolutions which ask for the res
ignation of Mayor Williams, Vice Mayor
Henderson and Chief of Police Mason were
passed. Five thousand people crowded the
Lyceum Theater from pit to dome, and
like number. finding themselves unable to
gain admittance. assembled in a body in
the public square. in the heart of the city,
where they were addressed by United
States Senator Carmack and others in a
plea to keep within the bounds of peace.
Speeches were made In which 1T was
charged that n continued carnival of crime
had been taking place in Memphis and
that the present government had demon
strated that it was incapable of handling
the reins of justice. The committee on
public safety appointed committee OF
1000 persons. who will wait on the mayor
and associates with the resolutions asking
for their vacation of office.
Friends of Haggerty, Honan, Hartley,
Deggs and keene, the quintet of gamblers
who are alleged to have been associated
with the operation of the peco game, and
who are imprisoned in the county Jail
charged with the murder of the deputy
sheriffs, were active today, and succeeded
in organizing to protect them from any
who attended the mass meeting. With
rifles the gamblers friends volunteered
their services TO the Jail, and a band of
fifty or more patrolled the vicinity.

Urges Medical Aid at Outset of Cancer

A cablegram from Liverpool last night
saws: The cancer research committee has
published the following: I'm view Of the
increasing prevalence Of cancer the Liver
pool committee on cancer research deem it
a duty to call attention to what may be
done to combat an increase in the disease.
No specific cure for cancer is yet known,
but as with consumption, the earlier the
treatment is commenced the greater the
chances for success. Unfortunately, a large
number of people put off seeking the advice
of the doctor instead of going to him i'm
mediately when they notice anything
wrong. 1t may be pointed out that certain
organs are more affected than others. In
men cancer of the stomach and intestines
and in women cancer of the breast and
womb account for about two-thirds of all
cases. The committee feel that they can
not too strongly state how important 1t is
that the disease be recognized at the ear
Hest possible moment. This recognition
can only be attained by the patient going

DEFINES CHIEF ISSUE.
Bryan Says Imperialism is Paramount
Campaign Question

dispatch from Lincoln, Nebr., last night
says: W. j. Bryan today made public the
Iollo"lng statement relating to the demo-
cratic platform adopted at St Louis:
The plank on Imperialism is positive,
strong and satisfactory to the entire party,
and this question becomes the paramount
issue of the campaign
The tariff plank is good, but it was made
SO on a close vote in the committee and
largely against the opposition of Mr.. Par
kers adherents. The plank which was
voted down favored a WISE conservative
and businesslike revision. made with due
regard to existing conditions The COM
mittee thought that these qualifying words
emasculated the plank and left it weak
as to give no hope to tariff reformers.
The antitrust plank is q good one. 1t
demands the enforcement of the criminal
clause of the criminal law against the
trusts: it demands the abolition of rebates
and determinations, and it demands the
withdrawal of the Interstate commerce
privileges from trusts when once con-
victed.
The plank is infinitely superior to the
republican plank. and with a President who
desired to destroy the trusts would be a
sufficient plank; but as this trust plank
was also substituted by the full commit
tee there is reason to fear that it may not
be in keeping with the ideas of the candi-
date.
The labor plank is all that could be de-
sired. 1t declares against government by
Injunction; it favors arbitration and the
eight-hour day and denounces the methods
that have been resorted to in the Colorado
strike; but as these planks were added in
the full committee some uncertainty eX-
lists as to the candidates position.
The platform declares in favor of the
reduction of the army. Upon this the COM
rnittee was unanimous. The subcommittee
reported a plank in favor of an increase of
the navy, but this was stricken out in the
full committee.
The platform has a plank in favor of
the enlargement of the scope of the inter-
state commerce commission and in favor
of irrigation. The general clauses OF the
platform excite no dispute, and the appeal
against the Introduction of a race issue
ought to have weight with the sober,
thinking Americans.
"On the whole, the platform is good.
From western standpoint its greatest de-
feet is that it makes no mention OF the
money question. An attempt was made 10
secure q plank opposing the melting or the
silver dollar, opposing the asset currency
and branch banks and expressing a prefer
ence for the United States note-ordlnarlly
known as the greenback-oVer the pai,h
note: but, having refused to put in n gold
plauk the committee was not willing TO
have any phase of the money question al
luded to.
while the motion to reafiirm the Kansas
CITY platform was voted down there was Il
considerable vote in favor of its reainrma-
zion and the western members OF the com
r,ittae together with a few from the south,
stood together and secured enough changes
in the nlatform to make it a presentable
document and worthy OF the support Oh '"e
party.

Suicide of Reputed Wealthy Man.

dispatch from Brookline, Mass, last
night says: Miles Abbott. presdent-treas-
urer and general manager of the Abbott
agency. and reputed a wealthy real estate
operator in this town, with an office In Bos-
ton, committed suicide tonight by shooting
through the left temple. Business reverses
evidently prompted his act, as only few
hours earlier he had made an assignment
for the benefit of his creditors. Mr.. Abbott
resided in a beautiful home. Early this
evening a pistol shot was heard in a pigeon
house in the rear of his residence. Abb
bolts body was found braced against an

In his head and a revolver with one cham
Der empty was found on the floor. MIR.
Abbott was thirty mine years old, and is
