Kot Settle the Monetary Question—
Cold Democrats as Mach Against Pro

mre a Menace to the Coontryt
F ■-"IE TALKS ABOUT THE RECENT
1/ l' S ELECTION.
Watterson Mot Optomlitlo.
Paris, Nov. 30.—Hon. Henry Wat
te rson has remained in this city since
the election. His views upon the re
sult of the national campaign just
closed have been furnished, in a
revised interview.
“The election of McKinley is but
the beginning of the end of the strugi
Sfle which, o«tS way or another, has
been going on in the United States for
twenty years. Mr. McKinley's elec
tion settles nothing. It merely re
motes fiat money and depreciated sil
ver dollars from among the rocks
Ahead.”
Mr Watterson was asked if the union
between the gold Democrats and the
Republicans could last. He replied:
“I do not see how it can. The dif
ferences are too doctrinal and radical.
Mr. McKinley is an extreme protec
tionist; the sound money Democrats
! are sincere revenue reformers. Cer
[ tainly, statesmanship is largely an af
piyfijir of compromises. But to be effect
jma\ and beneficial, the compromise
^must be logical and just. Nothing
“vcould be more desirable than a union
among all law-abiding, order-loving
citizens against whatever and whoever
threatens the interests of the country.”
“I think the country is safe for the
present. That the future of the coun
try will be equally assured I devoutly
hope. But thoughtful men should not
be lulled into fancied security because
we have overcome the dragon of repu
diation. The gorgon of agrarianism is
yet abroad. The Bryan movement
was most dangerous because it affected
to speak in the name of the people.
■ The whole people must come to see
that there have been mighty changes
going on in the world before such a
government as ours can be both safe
and free.
“In 19 0 we Khali have to face the
same general question in a new form,
and the issue will be, under existing
conditions: ‘Are orderly government
and popular government concurrent
possibilities'.’’ If we are to have many
presidential elections like the one just
ended they are not.
‘ Unless the body of the people can
be brought to realize the changes of a
century of progress, every four years
will witness a party taking the field in
support of the alleged rights of human
ity, whose very existence is a menace
to the public order, the peace of soci
ety, the just balance between the sec
tions of the Union, the money of the
people, the credit of the nation, and
^ every other good and perfect thing
supposed to emanate from our repub
lican system.”
“What would you advise the Demo
cratic party to do. Mr. Wattcrson?”
- /‘What I would advise it to do and
nth at it is likely to do are different
mfctters. Perhaps it could do nothing
better, by way of a starter, than to ap
point the ne#t, Stli of January as a day
of fasting and prayer.”

St. Louis, Mo., Nov. 20.—The execu
tive committee of the National Wo
man's Christian Temperance Union
met in one of the parlors of the Lin
dell hotel to-day to transact business
left over by the convention, which ad
journed last night. Mrs. Murrow of

W. C. T. U. missionary be sent
to work among the Indians and
whites in her jurisdiction. Mrs.
Lucy Thurman, superintendent of

HANNA NOT INELIGIBLE.

The Republican Chairman Denounces
v Strongly an Alleged Interview.
Ci.f.vkland, Ohio, Nov. 20.—H. A.
Hanna stated to-day that an alleged
interview with him wherein he was
made to say that he was ineligible for
the portfolio of secretary of the treas
ury was entirely untrue—a “pure
fake."
While there has been more or less
talk in regard to Mr. Ilanna being
barred from the treasury secretary
ship by reason of his commercial in
terests. it is held by many well in
formed persons that the law bearing
on the subject does not apply and that
the disability, if any, can be easily re
moved. *

it did not, and never had, indorsed
what is known as the “Lubin propo
sition,” to pay an export bounty on
agricultural products.
A resolution was reported in favor
of reciprocity treaties with all foreign

manufactured in the United States,
believing such a policy would enlarge
the market of American farmers.

A DENVER MAN DEAD.
The Probability Being that Be Was Mar
dared.
New Yobk, Not. 2a—Frank P. Ar
buckle, one of the most noted men ol
Colorado, chairman of the Democratic
state committee and a leading business
man of Denrer, was found dying in an
obscure place on a vacant lot just off
the sidewalk, in a lot of weeds, on the
west side of Eighth avenue, between
One Hundred and Fifty-second and
One Hundred and Fifty-third streets,
at 2:45 o'clock this morning, and died
in the patrol wagon on the way to a
station house, without regaining con
sciousness.
Charles Horstman, barkeeper of the
Atlanta Casino, near which Arbuckle’s
body was found, said that a man an
swering the description of the dead
man entered the place about an hour
before the time he was fohnd uncon
scious and called for a drink of whisky.
He appeared at the time to be partly
under the infinence of liquor. In pay
ing for the drink he displayed a large
roll of bills and then pulled from his
pocket a heavy gold watch which was
attached to a large gold chain. After
taking the drink he left. That is the
last known of his movements until he
was found in the weeds nearly dead.
No money except the small amount of
change was found in his pockets, and
he had no watch or chain.
It is surmised that Arbuckle got on
an “L”' train somewhere down town
and, falling asleep, rode to the end of
the line, then got off the train, walked
down stairs and entered the Casino
saloon, which is at the foot of the "L”
stairway. After leaving the Casino he
was probably set upon bv thugs,
knocked down and robbed, though no
marks of violence were found on the
body except a slight abrasion on the
head, which might have been caused
by a blow from a sandbag or have been
received in a fall.
The neighborhood where Arbuckle
was found has an unsavory reputation.
There are a number of Raines law
saloon hotels, frequented by boatmen
and women of low charater. Nearly
every week the police receive a report
of some robbery or knockout case in
the locality.
Denver, Col., Nov. . —Frank P.
Arbuckle was born at Erie, Pa., in the
early part of 1853. He had the ad
vantage of an excellent education and
early evidenced the business capacity
which has led to his success. In 1870
he became connected at Russell, Kan.,
with the telegraoh service of the Kan
sas Pacific railway company, whose
railroad had been completed to Den
ver. Sometime afterward he organ
ized the American District Telegraph
company in this city, was its superin
tendent for a number of years, and
showed marked executive ability in its
management. Other organizations
perfected and successfully operated by
Mr. Arbuckle were the Beaver Brook
Water company and the Mountain
Water company, which for many years
supplied the citizens of High
lands, until consolidated with
the Denver Union Water company.
He was also president of the Cripple
Creek and Central Consolidated Mining
company. The Denver-Highlands
Electric company was another of his
prosperous business ventures. He was
receiver of the land office at Lamar
during President Cleveland’s first ad
ministration and was appointed to the
same position in the Denver office un
der the present administration. He
was chairman of the state Democratic
committee during the last campaign.
He was married to Miss Emma Swift of
Fond du Lac, Wis., a number of years
ago. His home was at Highlands, a
suburb of this city. He left a wife and
two sons, as-ed 18 and 16.
CONTESTS IN KENTUCKY.
The Democrats Propose to Fight for All
But One of the Electors.
Louisville, Ky., Nov. 20.—Secretary
Richardson of the State Democratic
committee announces that the party
has definitely decided to contest the
election of the eleven McKinley elec
tors in Kentucky. The Democrats
concede the election of the foremost
McKinley elector, S. H. Kash, who ran
244 votes ahead of W. H. Smith, the
leading Bryan elector, who in turn ran
ahead of his associates by over 2,000
votes, the other eleven McKinley elec
tors receiving a greater number of
votes than the other Bryan electors.
The grounds of contest are given as
irregularity and fraud in a large num
ber of counties. The Republicans
make as many charges of irregularity
and fraud as the Democrats. The
state contest, board is composed entire
ly of Republicans.

N OTABLE GATHEBING
REJOICING OVER THE DEFEAT
OF SILVER.
Annual Banquet of the New York Cham
ber of Commerce—Speeches of a Con
gratulatory Character — President
Cleveland Writes a Letter—Leaders of
the Gold Men Lionised by the Orators*
The Anneal Banquet,
New York, Nov. 91.—The 128th an
nual banquet of the chamber of com
merce of the state of New York, which
was held last evening at Delmomco's,
was the most notable yearly gathering
that has been held by that great or
ganization. Considered in view of the
outcome of the national election, it
might justly be called a “coihmeroial
glorification,” by the 400 members
and the 300 guests who attended the
dinner.
Many of the speeches were distinctly
of a congratulatory character, and
those who led the fight against free
coinage were given unstinted praise,
while every mention of their names
was greeted with applause.
President Cleveland and Governor
Morton were unable to attend the
banquet, but they wrote letters which,
when read, were received with wild
cheering. President Cleveland said:
neceni events may wen cause tnose
who represent business interests to re
joice in their escape from threatened
peril. But while they have abundant
reason for rejoicing' and can view with
the greatest satisfaction the support
they have given the cause of sound
money in the contest lately waged
against it, earnestly hope that in this
time of congratnlation it will be re
membered that constant vigilance and
continued effort are required even to
maintain present conditions; but that
absolute safety will only be secured
when our financial system is protected
by affirmative and thorough reforms.
“When our business men are habitu
ally alert and watchful, and when they
are, moreover, fully aroused to the im
portance of such legislative action con
cerning our finances as business meth
ods approve and the welfare of the en
tire country requires, much good may
be confidently anticipated, not only in
the accomplishment of practical re
sults, but in the removal of hurtful
prejudices, through an assurance to
the people that business and patriot
ism are becoming more and more
united.”
The main hall in which President
Alexander E. Orr and the guests of
honor were seated was tastefully decor
ated. Large golden eagles amid groups
of flags hung over the mirrors and win
dows
Seated at the guests’ table were the
Kev. Dr. David R. G. Greer, Charles S.
Smith, Samuel D. Babcock, Seth Low,
Mayor Strong, General Nelson A.
Miles. Whitelaw Reed, Governor John
\\T. Griggs of New Jersey, Postmaster
General William L. Wilson, Secretary

Hawley, Comptroller Eckels. Joseph II.
Walker. W. Bourke Cockran, Admiral
Henry Erben, Commodore Montgomery

GANG OF ROBBERS CAUGHT
Davenport, Neb., Bank Robbers Arrested
at Hanover, Kan.
Hastings, Neb., Nov. 19.—Chief of
Police Lepinski returned yesterday
from Hanover, Kan., where he traced
the Davenport, Neb., bank robbers,
and succeeded in unearthing an or
ganized gang of the boldest kind of
robbers which had been operating
through this part of the state for the
last six months. Last Saturday morn
ing the Bank of Davenport
was robbed of everything in
the safe, amounting to several
thousand dollars. The work was done
by professionals. Chief Lepinski got
onto their track and followed them to
Hanover, where he arrested three of
them yesterday. The robbers’ den was
what is called a “hole in the wall,"
and was run by one of the gang, who
disposed of the stolen goods. In search
ing the cellar, the officer dug up about
8500 in gold, $30 in silver, plenty of
gold watches and jewelry, besides a
large roll of scrip and several dyna
mite bombs. Among the silverware
found was that which was taken from
the Davenport bank, with the banker's
name engraved on it. The fellows,
when searched, had upon their persons
$1,300 in currency, several large re
volvers and four large stillettos.

TWO WOMEN SLAIN.
A Mother end Daughter Shot at Liberty
Missouri.
Libbrtt, Mo., Nov. 19.—When Will
iam Foley, son of Mrs. John Foley, an
aged widow who lived six miles north
of here, near Little Shoal church, re
turned to his mother's house last night
about 9 o'clock, after taking his sister
Amelia to the home of James Morrow,
he.found that his mother and sister
Fannie, aged 36, had been shot dead
while alone in the house and the place
had been partly robbed. In one of the
bed rooms were the bodies of the mur
dered mother and daughter, just as
discovered and not yet cold in death.
Both were robed in night clothes,which
were saturated with blood.
survey oi me surroundings clearly
showed that the murderer had entered
the lumber roam of the house, secured
a shotgun and a bootjack that were al
ways kept there, and returning to the
porch, had thrown the boot-jack
through one of the windows, with the
double purpose of making an opening
and arousing the women. When they
arose he had unquestionably fired a
shot which passed through the lower
part of Mrs. Foley’s head, slightly
wounded her daughter in the back and
cut through the bed clothes, striking
the wall. The supposition is that the
women then fled to the adjoining room
and that the murderer broke through
the door from tho porch and followed
them, and then shot the daughter in
the right side as she hung to tho foot
of the bed.
After firing a pistol ball into the
girl’s side, the murderer is supposed to
have turned and fired the remaining
four chambers of his revolver into the
mother's l>ody, two of the bullets hav
ing been found and the other two be
ing accounted for by flesh wounds dis
covered in the examination of tho
corpse.
About 850 was taken from the foot
of the bed upon which the women had
been sleeping. The dresser drawers
in the room where the bodies were
found had been ransacked, but a small
cotton bag containing quite a sum of
money was overlooked by the mur
derer, while a gold watch in another
drawer had not been touched. A
horse belonging on the place was
found some distance from the house
and the supposition is that the mur
derer had used it in escaping.
The officers and others are doing
everything in their power to ferret out
the murderer, and other agencies are
at work on the case, and should they
succeed in capturing the wretch a
lynching is certain.
An organization of vigilantes has
been formed in the neighborhood to
assist in ferreting out the murderer
and punishing him.
Three years ago a horse was stolen
from Mrs. Foley and a man named
Hoover was convicted and sent to the
penitentiary. His term recently ex
pired and it is said that he was seen
twice in the neighborhood recently.
A close search is being made for him.
HILL BREAKS SILENCE.
The Democratic Defeat Foreseen—Re*
organisation Not Now Advisable.
Washington, Nov. 19.—In a letter
to a political friend since the election.
Senator Hill of New York declares
that he saw that the Democratic party
was foredoomed to defeat on the Chi
cago platform, which he could not
bring himself to actively or openly
support. Such being the case, nothing
was left for him to do but remain ab
solutely silent and inactive.
To the suggestion made in the letter
which drew the response from Senator
Hill, that active steps be at once taken
to reorganize the Democratic party
“on historical lines,” the reply was
made that such a course would at pres
ent be impolitic, that no immediate ne
cessity for reorganization was evident,
and that delay was advisable to give
time and opportunity to allay the ran
corous feelings, jealousies and diseords
which the recent conflicts had aroused.
BRYAN ACCEPTS AN OFFER
Agrees to Deliver a Series of Non-Parti
san Lectures*
Lincoln, Neb., Nov. 19.—It has been
definitely arranged that William J.
Bryan is to take the lecture platform,

The man behind the enterprise is V.
E. McBee of Norfolk, Va., the superin
tendent of the Seabord Air line.
The terms of the agreement, from a
financial standpoint, have not been
made public, but it is reliably under
stood that the renumeration wnich
Mr. llryan is to receive will exceed the
salary he would have received as I’res

of his election to that office.
The lectures will be non-partisan in
their character, and will for the most
part be upon governmental and social
topics, as it is expressly stipulated in
the contract that the tour ■shall have
no political aspect or coloring.

Spain Tiring of Wajlar.
Washington, Nov. 18.—It is learned
here on authority that the Spanish
government has given General Weyler
to understand that he must push his
operations against the insurgents ag
gressively and vigorously. Unless he
soon achieves a decisive viitory over
the Cubans it is believed he will be re
called. General VVeyler, it is under
stood, is aware of the alternative and
his present campaign in Pinar del Rio
is expected to result in an engagement
that will put a new aspect on the
Cuban situation one way or the other.
Qeneral VVeyler has all the troops
that he can use. There are over 200,
000 Spanish soldiers in Cuba and the
force under the captain general in his
present operations in the field in per
son is over 60,000 men. Maceo, against
whom he is now operating, has under
him. it is estimated, about 7,000 men.
Spain having fulfilled all of General
Weyler’s wishes as to troops, now ex
pects results from him. Consul Gen
eral Lee has acquainted the adminis
tration with these facts and the Presi
dent is at present simply awaiting
events and will shape his course by the
developments.
It is the hope of General VVeyler that
he will be able to score a decided vic
tory before the assembling of congress,
December 7. Spain fears adverse ac
tion by that body soon after it meets
and has urged General VVeyler to dem
onstrate his ability to crush the rebel
lion within the next two weeks, if pos
sible.
UNCLE SAM’S UNEMPLOYED
Eleventh Census Labor Statistics—Mil
lions Without Work.
Washington, Nov. 18.—Hon. Carroll
D. Wright, commissioner of labor, in
charge of the eleventh census, has
transmitted to the secretary of the in
terior a special report on the statistics
of occupations.
The most interesting feature of the
report relates to the qnestion of the
unemployed. Similar data relative to
the unemployed were collected at the
census of 1880, but were not compiled,
so this is the first time in the federal
census that information of this char
acter has been presented in connection
with the statistics of occupations.
There were 23,735,661 persons 10
years of age and over engaged in gain
ful occupations in 1800, of whom 18,
821,000 were males and 3,014,671 fe
males. Of these, 3,013,117 males and
610,613 females, or a total of 3,523,730
persons, were unemployed at their prin
cipal occupations during some part of
the census year ending May 31, 1890.
Of the whole number of persons so
unemployed, 1,818,805 were unem
ployed from one to three months,
1,348,318 from four to six months and
336,447 from seven to twelve months.
This is equivalent, approximatelj', to
1,139,672 persons unemployed at their
principal occupations for the entire
twelve months, and this number would
represent 5.01 per cent of the total
number of persons engaged in gainful
occupations in 1890
Divided as to sex, the approximate
number of males unemployed at their
principal occupation for the entire
census year was 972,000, representing
5.10 per cent of the whole number of
males at work, while the approximate
number of females unemployed at their
principal occupations during the same
period was 167,672, representing 4.28
per cent of the whole number of fe
males at work.
WEYLER NOT DOING WELL.
The Spanish Captain General May Be
Outwitted by the Itebels.
Havana, Nov. 18.—No news, official
or otherwise, is obtainable here con
cerning the movements of Captain
General VVeyler and his army now in
pursuit of the insurgent forces under
Antonio Maceo in the province of
Dinar Del Rio, and the insurgents are
circulating reports of Spanish defeats.
There seems to be ground for the be
lief that the captuin general has not
met with the success he anticipated.
It is no longer denied that the in
surgents have captured the two quite
important towns of Cascorro and Guai
mara, in Puerto Principe. As intimated
some time ago, there is no doubt that
an insurgent army of about 10,000 men
is advancing upon the city of Puerto
Principe, capital of the province of
that name._
FAIR WILL CASE ENDED.
Rumor That a Compromise Has Been
Effected With All Concerned.
San Francisco, Nov. 18.—The con
test over the wills of the late James
G. Fair ended yesterday by the with
drawal of the so-called pencil will,
which had been offered for probate.
Dr. Marc Livingston, named as exec
utor under the pencil will, in with
drawing the document, stated that his
reason for his action was that the po
sition of Mrs. Nettie Craven might be
strengthened.
The unexpected action in withdraw
ing the pencil will caused greut sur
prise in legal circles, although it is
rumored that the retreat of Livingston
and Mrs. Craven was the result of a
compromise among all the parties in
terested.

ater will be secured, and that Mr.
Brobst will become the pastor of what
will be called the Church of Humanity.
The founders believe that the recent
attitude of some pulpits on the finan
cial question had driven a large num
ber of church people from sympathy
with existing organizations. It is not
proposed to have Mr. Brobst preach
nothing but silver sermons. The
founders said yesterday that the pure
gospel from the Bible would be
preached, and in time it is hoped the
church can extend its good influences
through humanitarian work, and
demonstrate the usefulness of a prac
tical religion to those who care little
fc.r it now.
