1 WATTERSON'S VIEWS. Be Says the Election of McKinley Does Kot Settle the Monetary Question— Cold Democrats as Mach Against Pro tection as Ever—Presidential Elections 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.” SPECIAL W. C. T. U. NEEDS. An Indian Missionary and More Money for IVork Among Negroes Asked. 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.

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. * AGAINST BOUNTIES. The National Grange Declares Itself Positively on the Gubin Scheme. Washington, Nov. .20—The National •Grange adopted a resolution declaring it did not, and never had, indorsed what is known as the “Lubin propo sition,” to pay an export bounty on agricultural products.

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. NEW YORK BANK ROBBED. The Assist mit Cashier and 960,000 Arn Missing. New York, Nov. 20.—Richard V. D.

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 J. Sterling Morton, Senator Joseph It. Hawley, Comptroller Eckels. Joseph II. Walker. W. Bourke Cockran, Admiral Henry Erben, Commodore Montgomery Sicard and Murat Halstead. 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. SOVEREIGN RE-ELECTED. No Opposition to Him In the K. of I.. Assembly.

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, and his first address will be delivered at Atlanta, ‘.la., oarly in December. 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 ident of the United States in the event 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.

MUST DO SOMETHING. SPAIN IS GROWING TIRED OF GEN. WEYLER, There Malt be Quick Action or Be Will Be Recalled—Rope* to Score a Decided Victory Before Congrei* Meet*—Preal dent Cleveland'* Action Depend* Much Upon Brent* of the Next Two Week*. 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.
