A UNIT FOR M'KINLE Y.
Ohio's Delegation Will Be Solid For the ,
Great Apostle of Protection. j
Cincinnati, Ohio, Sept. 13. The
political sensation of to-day is the
comments made among politicians
upon the pronounced utterance of
Governor McKinley in favor of ex
Governor Foraker for United States
senator, and his urgent plea that
special attention be given to the elec
tion of the legislature. Those who
are accustomed to reading between
the lines maintain that the unexpected
position of McKinley is a part of. a
combination that is of national inter
est, and that among other things, it
means that Ohio will be a unit for
McKinley for president.
Fitzsimmons Wants In.
Chicago, Sept. 13. The Inter Ocean
prints a story in which it is said that

that he accuses Brady, Corbett, Joe
Vendisr and Stewart of Dallas with
gobbling up everything in sight, from
the lemonade stand to the eidoloscope,
with "which it is intended to reproduce
the fight throughout the country. It
is the latter eoncession that Bob is
jealous of, and it is said that he has
made a formal demand for a percent
age of the profits on it, otherwise he
declares there will be no fight.

ands of ex-Confederates and hosts of
other people gathered early this morn

entire line of march was cleared of
everything while the Louisville Le
gion, the cadets and Kentucky Nation
al Guard patrolled the ways and there
was no delay. Forty thousand veter
erans were in line and fully 300,000
people witnessed the march.
The parade was headed by two ex
Confederates on horseback, Captain
John H. Weller and Captain William
H. Harrison. They did not wear the
gray, but were dressed in black Prince
Alberts with silk hats and red, white
and blue sashes, the same as members
of the citizens' committee. They also
wore red, white and blue scarfs and
rosettes. Captain Weller carried a
large United States flag and Captain
Harrison a large white banner of
peace. In place of the eagle on the
top of the staff, the white banner had
a dove carrying an live twig.

years a n.l the offee a of service. It
was the general remark that there
were never so many old, lame and fee
ble men in line. 'ut l,izy marched
proudly none the le-s.
At .sunrise the only clouds were from
the saiute of forty guns, and the
weather even was for peac. The de
partments began forming at an early
hour under special orders to have the
prowssion move promptly at 10:30
o'clock. At 0:30 another salute was
fired for the first grand division to
form. At 10 o'clock the guns indicated
that the escort was moving to the head
of the column and at 10:30 the salute
signaled all the ten grand divisions to
move.

He is now so feeble that he to-daj'
rode on a float. The New Hampshire
department carried a large eagle. The
Ohio boys wore buckeyes, the Ken
tuckians lrad corn and crackers ana
others bore the emblems of their
states.
When the Chicago commandery ap
peared the multitudes on the plat
forms and along the streets opened
the chorus of cheers for Commander
Lawler, and kept up the cheering as
the posts of the different departments
passed the stands and street intersec
tions. Quite a number of veterans became
exhausted and had to retire from the
ranks. Six were so prostrated by the
heat that they were taken in ambu
lances to the hospital, but none are
considered serious- prostrated.

the intention to have the bell reach
Mount Arrarat in 1000. and ring at a
congress of representatives from every
religious organization on earth.
M'KINLEY ON THE ISSUES.
The Ohio Governor for Sound Mor.ey
and Against the Bond Syndicate.
Springfield, Ohio Sept. 12. In his
speech yesterday Governor McKinley,
after criticising the foreign and do
mestic policy of the Cleveland admin
istration, the governor asserted that
the real subject of contention in Ohio
is the tariff. He quoted Cleveland as
opposing Senator Brice as regards the
Brice-Gorman act, and he also quoted
the Cincinnati Enquirer as declaring
that a veto by Cleveland would "be a
cleaning up of much rubbish and un
cleanliness in the Democratic house
hold." Then he quoted the Ohio Dem
ocratic platform of 1894, favoring fur
ther reductions in the tariff, and
asked: 4Is this 'rubbish and unclean
liness in the Democratic household to
stand, and that which was a year ago
unworthy and impure and a stench in
the Democratic nostrils now to be ac
cepted as worthy and pure?"
Has the Democratic party of Ohio
changed its views since September,
1S94, and is now willing that the pro
tective duties, which are retained in
the Brice-Gorman-Wilson act, shall re
main, and the law be a permanent set
tlement of the tariff question? Is a
law, using the language of Mr. Cleve
land, 'which puts the wool of the
farmer on the free list and the pro
tection of tariff on the iron, ore and
coal of corporations and capitalists' to
receive the approval of the people of
Ohio by their votes in November next?
"My friends, there is one objection
to the law, if there were no others,
which must make its permanency im
possible. It fails to raise the needed
revenues for the daily expenses of the
government. That would condemn it
in the judgment of the American peo
ple, whatever difference they might
have on the question of protection and
free trade. The law, from the date of
its enactment to the present time and
it is now a year old has not raised
enough money from customs duties
and internal revenue combined to meet
the neeessary expenses of the govern
ment.' Taking up the financial question he
said:
4iIn the first two years under the
fiscal policy of Mr. Cleveland's admin
istration, which is so warmly com
mended by the Springfield convention,
the government has been compelled to
borrow 8163,000,000, and the mainten
ance of the gold reserve now depends
upon a syndicate of foreign and home
capitalists, who are under contract to
preserve the credit of the nation until
the 1st of October a syndicate un
known to the laws and unrecognized
in the government, hired to sustain
the credit of the government. What a
spectacle!
'On the subject of money, the Re
publican party stands where it has
always stood for good money,
whether gold, silver or paper, all to
be under national authority, at all
times and everywhere to be equal and
interchangeable, which will honestly
measure the exchanges of the people
and deceive and cheat nobody. It
must be sound and strong as the gov
ernment itself and as free from stain
or taint as the flag of our country."
THE BOND SYNDICATE.
Secretary Carlisle's Annual Report Ex
pected to Contain Facts Regarding It.
Washington, D. C, Sept. 12. One of
the features of Secretary Carlisle's re- I
port to congress will probably be a full j
statement of the operations of the i
, 1 JI ? A A J 1 J 1 A I
Donu syndicate, ii is unaersxoou mat
it will contain several interesting facts
in connection with the transaction
which are as yet aly known to the
parties immediately concerned in the
negotion of the loan. The most im
portant problem the secretary will
have to deal with is that which
looks to the re'.ief of the treas
ary, involving a radical change
in the financial system. The desired
relief can only be obtained by the aid
of congress, and the secretary realizes
that it is going to be a very difficult
task to suggest a remedy which will
meet the approval of the Republican
house, with Reed, a candidate for the
presidency, in the speaker's chair. It
probably will be the policy of the Re
publicans to confuse, rather than un
tangle, the financial complications
during the next congress, for they are
counting upon making considerable
political capital out of the money ques
tion in the presidential contest.
AWARDED TO DEFENDER.
The Valkyrie Ruled to Have Lost Be
cause of the Foul.
New York, Sept. 12. When the tug
Walter Luckenbach, with the regatta
committee of the New York Yacht
club returned, S. Nicholson Kane,

held a confenence in regard to the
matter while the tug was on her way
to the dock, but that no definite con
clusion had been arrived at.

long meeting in private and heard ev
idence in regard to the collision and
late this aftei noon sustained the De
fender's protest and awarded the race
to her.
A Counter-Revolution.
Colon, Sept. 12. The remnant of .
the Ecudorean government is fleeing
from Quito toward the boundary of
Columbia, There, it is reported,
agents of the late government are en
listing men to take the field against j
President Alfaro. The latter, fearing
that a formidable reaction might be
fomented by these agents, has dis
patched an envoy to Colon to ask that
measures be taken to prevent the or
ganization of armed forces hostile to
him in this republic.
Prospects 11 right for Piatt.
New York, Sept. 12. The Repub
lican primaries were held last night m
the 1,400 districts of the city to elect
delegates to the assembly district con
ventions. In most districts there was

result seems to have been a decisive
victory for Piatt.

LEGISLATION UPHELD
OMAHA FIRE AND POLICE MAT
TER DECIDED.
The Supreme Court Reported to Have
Held the Act of the Late Legislature
Constitutional An Opinion by the En
tire Court The Enactment Constitu
tional and the Appointments Legal
Final Outcome of a Matter that Men
aced Trouble.
The New Hoard lns.
Lincoln, Neb., Sept. 1L The Jour
nal gives publicity to the following:
According to information secured by
this paper the Omaha fire and police
bill has been approved by the supreme
court and the formal opinion will soon
be rendered.
There has been much guessing as to
the opinion of the supreme court, now
in preparation, and predictions of all
kinds have been published from time
to time. At first it was reported that
Commissioner Irvine was writing the
opinion in the famous case. Then the
report was circulated broadcast that
the court had decided in favor of the
old board of police commissioners and
against the constitutionality of the new
law, and as a result of this report the
wires between Omaha and Lincoln
were kept hot with telegrams of in
quiry. Incidentally the life of Com
missioner Irvine at Omaha was made a
burden.
The Journal has information of a re
liable character, to the effect that the
court has decided the case in favor of
the new board of fire and police com
missioners. The opinion was expected
the latter part of last week, but one of
the judges sent to the state library for
additional legal works to be used in
preparing one part of the opinion, and
therefore the handing down of the de
cision was deferred. It is now expect
ed any day, but may be withheld until
the regular full session of the court
which convenes September 17.
Contrary to expectation, the opinion
will not be written by any one member
of the court commission. It will come
as the opinion of the court, and not as
the writing of any one man. Accord
ing to information at hand, the three
judges. Chief Justice Norval, Justice
Post and Justiee Harrison, have been
engaged in working on various points
in the case, and in addition the com
mission has been consulted by the
court.
The decision is not based on one turn
ing point alone. It takes up the sev
eral points at length and decides every
material proposition that arises, or is
likely to arise in the future, so that the
litigants will not be left in the dark.
The material points are the constitu
tionality of the new fire and police law.
and the legality of the appointment of
the new fire and police board. The
opinion sustains both the constitution
ality of the law and the regularity of
the appointments which were made by
Attorney General Churchill and Land
Commissioner Russell, the third mem
ber of the appointing board refusing to
participate in the meeting after having j
had due notice. i
This information, which leaked out
yesterday, has caused considerable ex
citement and wherever it is known is
the one topic of conversation, but it
was not generally circulated in this
city and is said to be wholly unknown
in Omaha where the people are person
ally interested. The rendition of such
an opinion will be followed by the re
tirement of the old board.

Dead at His Wife's lirave.
Chapman, Kan., Sept. 11. John

Miners Entombed in the Burning Osceola
Cannot Re Released.
Houghton, Mich.. Sept. 11. The
situation in the Osceola mine, where
fifty miners are entombed, remains
about the same. Efforts to reach the

gases and the rescuers had to run for
their lives. The shafts were finally
all covered to smother out the fire.

friend they offered him a liberal sum
of money to assist them in 'breaking"
out of jaiL
Brown listened to the proposition
and then gave it in detail to Sheriff
Stanley, who instructed him to en
courage the Taylors and hear all their
plans.
Brown met the Taylor brothers the
next night and assured them that
he could and would fix it so
that they could escape, but that
as it would throw suspicion upon
him and the condemned murderers to
be seen conversing together, it
would be advisable to conduct
further -negotiations in writing.
They accepted the advice and as
the letters were received by Brown
they were submitted by him to Sheriff
Stanley, who, of course, knew what
replies were sent to the Taylors. Ex

Grand Junction, CoL, Sept. 1
Just after the engineer of passenger
train No. 1, which left this city last
night on the Rio Grande Western road,
reached Crevasse, about twenty-three
miles west of here, he found that the
engine had been run on a siding and
was pulling only the mail and bag
gage car, the rear portion of the train
having: been cut off at the station.
Then two robbere, each of medium
size and masked, appeared, but finding
that they hud left the express car
with the train, mounted horses that
were in waiting and skipped for the
mountains.
The first news of the hold-up was a
dispatch from Superintendent A. E.
McKee of the Rio Grande Western
railroad to Sheriff Innes: "Call on
agent of Rio Grande Western at your
city if you need a car to take you and
your deputies to Crevasse or other
points."
Sheriff Innes and posse started at
once on a special train for the scene of
the attempted robbery. So far as
known the robbers secured nothing.
