appeared and asked for a formal ruling on
the proUwt filed yesterday. The board over
ruled the protest by unanimous vote , and
proceeded with the canvaca. At noon the
vote from about two-thirds of the counties
had been cnlletl off. Most ot the abstracts
Are In good shape , only two or tli'ce being
In such form as to require the board < o font

It was all completed , Dliring the day .hero
\vas a rumor that the republicans wtre poln

the law on the part of the ecccrctnry ot state ,
nnd to prevent any ouch reckless handling o *

the board admitted that a grave mtatako had
been made by the secretary nnd his deputies ,

UISUKACK IHtlVKS II I. M TO SUICIDi : .
Sou of n Defaulter ICllls Himself In
it MllwmiUi-c Hotel.
CHICAGO , Nov. 23. Grief and chagrin over
the disgrace of his father , Charles M. Charn-
ley , according to his friends , drove to suicide
Jamca Charnley , Jr. , who was found In his
room In the Hotel Pfister , Milwaukee , with
a bullet bole In his heart. Charles M. Charn-
lv. formerly oresldent of the Presbyterian
Board of Aid fcr Colleges and Acadamles , dls-
anocared last summer short some $60,000 of
the funds entrusted to him. This weighed
lifiivllv on the son's mind , and It Is said
ttat for fiomo time the young man had been
III. The Bister and brother of young Cham-
lev , both of whom are out of the city , were
art notin d at once of the second disaster
that had come to them. The brother , Charles ,
In In Now York and the sister. Miss Con-
sUinro. Is nt Smith college. This second
chanter In the family's sorrow comes with
a crushing weight , aa young Charnley had
assumed thn niaco at tbo head of the fam
ily , which hla father had so recently left
vacant.
During the clays when the stories of Charles
M. CLarnley's shortage was being exploited
In the papers and ever since young Charnley
had" remained In this city and borne the
brunt of the recrlmlnatlo.n , notoriety and
disgrace. For months previous to his father's
disappearance It Is said the Impending dis
aster , which had hung like Damocles' sword ,
bv a single thread , likely at any time to
bo broken , was known to the young man.
The Identity of the young man who com
mitted suicide by firing a bullet through his
right temple , after taking a deadly do e of
morphine , was established In a singular
manner. I5p to last cilght there > was ap
parently nothing to show who the dead man
was. He had emptied his pockets of every
thing which might give some clew and all
that remained for the police to work on
was a handkerchief with the initials T. S.
and a gold band ring on cne of his fingers
engraved with the words , "Easter Sunday. "
It was also discovered that all the clothing
he wore was purchased In Chicago , but
there were no marks that would give the
slightest clew. Hundreds of people viewed
the remains yesterday , but all failed of
recognition. Last night , however , a newn-
paper reporter from Chicago was In the city ,
visited the morgue , end with the deputy
coroner made a thorough examination of the
clothing. The discovery was made of the
name , "J. Douglaes , Chicago , " In the shoes
of the dead man. The reporter , on returning
to Chicago , looked up the name In the city
directory and found that J. Douglass lived
at 99 Astor street.
On arriving at the Actor street store he
was met by Douglasa Chatnley , cousin of
the suicide , who Informed him that J. Doug
lass was hs ! uncle , but that he was In Eu
rope and consequently could have no con
nection with the Milwaukee myivtery. Dur
ing their conversation , the thought struck
Charnlcy that his cousin had been wcar'ng
a pair of his uncle's shoes and Immediately
light was thrown on the mystery. It ap
pears that young Charnley , the suicide , has
been out of work for some tlmo , but that on
Saturday he engaged with a firm at some
place la Kentucky to go to work as book
keeper. He left tbo Astor otreet residence
early In the day , bldd ag his friends goodbye
bye- and was not seen by them afterwards
alive.

CHICAGO , Nov. 23. The , f > ofr8 Washington -
ton special eaya. From members of the
democratic national committee who arc now
la the city , < t IB learned that a plan Is on
foot to Inaugurate a new departure next
tlmo In the methods of nominating a candi
date for the presidency. The scheme Is
briefly this ; Tie democratic state conven
tions will bo hold as ueual In 1900 for the
purpose of electing delegates to the national
convention and doing the usual part toward
keeping up the machinery of the party.
The convention will Border the delegates to
meet at once , and' Instruct the national
committee to re-adopt the Chicago plat
form In Ha entirety and with
out changing It In the minutest
particular. The delegates will further bo
Instructed to direct the national commlt-
tco to cast the votes of the state delcgatlono
for Mr. Uryan and to authorize that gentle
man to name his own running mate-
Unanimous assent to this scheme Is not
oxpeeted , but an overwhelming majority Is
anticipated , and the result will bo thit
there will ho no national democratic con
vcntlou. This proceeding Is yet three ycaro
distant and many things may happen , but
there Is no question about the Intention of
the nryanltcs to force the re-nomlnatlon ot
the Nebraskan In the manner that has been
outlined above.

Currency licirlHlntloii.
WASHINGTON , Nov. 23. Senator Lindsay
of Kentucky , who Is one 'of 'the three gold
democrats In the senate , ' wri& asked today
what policy he and thqse demo1cratlc , senators
who agrco with him on financial questions
would pursue In case an effort should bo
made to secure currency .legislation . at ( ho
approaching session of congress. Ho re
plied : I fCi
"Wo have had no conference among our
selves and therefore ; have .not agreed upon
any policy. If the republicans have any
policy as to a line of action , I have not been
Informed what it Is. . Hence , I am not In a
position to answer your question. I may
say , however , that I think the country still
wants the currency rcfo-med , and I believe
that if the republicans could agree among
themselves It would be possible for them to
accomplish this end , but without being in
their councils I see some Indications that
this may bo difficult to secure.
"If they had given us different tariff laws
the task of securing the necessary reform
would have been comparatively easy for If
the country's revenues were equal to Its ex
penditures It would not bo BO difllcult to reach
an agreement to repeal the clause yl the act
cf 1878 requiring groan backs , when presented
to the treasury , to be re'ssucd , and that la
all the legislation that would bo necessary ,
for with the necessity for the reissuance of
the greenbacks done away with they would
all be redeemed and canceled In a very short
time. In the face , however , of the insuf
ficiency of the revenues , this course would bo
more difficult , and I cnni'ot yet say what. If
anything , will bo done or attempted. "

NEW YOIIK , Nov. 23. According to a
Washington dispatch < o the Herald , China
has appealed to Russia to oust Germany
from Us territory , ns the result of the occu
pation by A German force of a put ot the
Shan Tung peninsula. tAs the Russia lega
tion In Tckln Is In charge of the secretary ,
Count Casalnl , ( he minister having been
transferred to Washington as the diplomatic
representative of HuMla , the negotiations on
the subject > ire being conducted In St. Peters
burg. It Is hoped by the Chinese ttoit the
Influence exerted by Russia , which prevented
the rehabilitation of the Turkish navy , would
bo exercised upon Germany with equal suc
cess In the matter of Its withdrawal from
Chinese territory Notwithstanding . the
efforts of the Chinese government to get
Germany to tiamo a date when It would
withdraw Its forces , the German government
has taken no step In ( lie matter and the four
IB expressed In eastern and European diplo
matic circles that the occupation , If not ot
a permanent character now , Is simply a pre
liminary to such an end ,
A diplomat thoroughly conversant with
eastern affairs inado this statement In re
gard to the landing ot the German force :
"At the tlmo the landing occurred the Chl-
ncso government had already taken measures
for the amends of the murders of the Ger
man missionaries , and , In fact , Instructions
of this character had been obeyed to such an
extent that several ot the culprits had been
placed under arrest. It was also Intended to
require the people of the district In which
the murder occurred to pay a suitable In
demnity.
"Theso facts Imd been laid before the Ger
man minister In Pckln , who , I may say , Is of
a very excitable temperament , and his failure
to accept the apology and await the result
of the effortu of the Chinese government show
Itiat Germany was simply awaiting a pretext
to occupy a portion of the territory belong
ing to the celestial kingdom.
"Germany has always been anxious to
obtain territory 4n the far cast. Its citi
zens who have established themselves In
China have been especially clamorous that
the black , white and red. flag should wave
over u section of that country , and their
government , seeing the opportunity growing
out ot the murder of the two missionaries ,
promptly seized It. The attitude of Uie other
European governments Is of Interest. None
ot the latter desire to see Germany obtain
n slice of eastern territory , though It Is said
Germany lauded Its force after having In
formed them of Its purpose. I bcllevo China's
representations to Russia will result in repre
sentations being made by the latter govern
ment to the Berlin officials. It will be only
In case ot pressure , I bcllevo , that Germany
will withdraw Us troops from Shan Tung
promontory. "
LONDON , Nov. 23. ( According to a special

Dr. Miles' Hestratlvo Nervine has cur

Mrs. Truckenmiller Is a prominent
lady in the town where she resides , and
the facts relative to her sickness and re

and friends. She 'writes :
" .My nervousness came on from having
La Grippe. It left me weak and ex-
r.nisted. and I got a fright which pros

lever knew what it was to have a night's
sleep. I had spasms that lasted from
four to live hours , and my cries were
leard three and four squares away. This
Is not half my suffering. My sickness
cost my luisband $800.00 that never did
mo any good ; I seemed to get worse.
Finally we tried Dr. Miles's Nervine.
The first night I slept a natural -sloej ) ,
iwakening in the morning feeling as if
I were in heaven. From that time on
I commenced to improve , and now am
entirely recovered. I only wish I could
tell the suffering ones what Dr. Mites'
