of the situation ilia telegram In llemy

he wiieil.
It is the most, disastroii'i defeat the
ltepublii.llis o( Kansas ever have suf
fered. In former elections since lsuii,
when tlioy began lo meet, adversity,
they have managed to save Mtincthing
mil or the wiccU In IMMI they .saved
the governor and had a holdover sen
ate in 'in the election of lnxs. In ls'.r.'
they saved the Iioiim1, lo.sing the gov
ernor and the bcuale. John Martin,
Democrat, went to the Pulled Stales
.Senate to Join I'clTcr, Populist, and a
Populist took a seal beside two Kepuh
lieaus on the aupiciuc bench. In tS'.M
they won the governor and the house,
but the senate was i.till PopulNt, al
though the Republicans had a majority
on joint ballot, which retired Martin
from the I. nited Mate Senate.
Tills year every thing is gone thu
governor, both hruucluM u' the legis
lature und consequently the Pinted
States Senator, live nl the i.In uilgei of
the appellate court -and the election
of Hosier to be chief justice gives tho
Populists a majority on thu supreme
betieh. In addition all thu Judicial
candidates In tho districts which
elected this year have been curbed by
the fusionists, us have also nearly ull
of the county olllcers,
l'rom thu returns so far received the
Republicans make the following esti
mate of the Republican strength In
the two branches of the legislature;
First congressional district, represent
atives 0, senators 4: Second district,

gave out ycstenlay u statement ml
dressed to thu Democrats of Illinois, In
which he says:
"Although defeated, I desire to
thank you for the loyal support
you have given me, und I con
gratulate you upon the heroic fight
you huvo just iii'ido. Consider that
only six months ago our great party
lay prostrate. It had been betrayed
Into the hands of the stock
jobbers and monopolists by Pres
ident Cleveland: it had been
robbed of everything Deuioei-atie e"C
c.j't the name; it stood for no great
principle; it was loa led with political
dead heads; vet it etit loose from the
dominion of trusts and syndicates; it
repudiated the men who' betra.ved it,
and again proclaimed Dei'ioeriiti'eprlii
elpK's and espoused the cause of toiling
humanity it was confronted hj
even thing that money could buy, that
noodle couui debauch or that fear of
starvation would coerce, it was con
fronted by a combination of forces
Mich as had never been united be font
and could probably never be united
again; and, worse still, tho time
was loo short to educate the public.
While wo a ro defeated, our party
Is more vigorous and iu b .tier coiull
tli hi generally than it has been for u
third of a century. We have dug the
grave of the Itrltlsh gold standard.
On- more campaign of education will
forever bury the palsied form of that
curse which has blighted prosperity
and happiness to mankind. We may
assume that the coming administration
iv ill be controlled by the men who huvo
been so prominent in securing this
election.
"I bcllevo that at the next general
election thu p.'oplo will reverse the
verdict of yesterday. The return of
prosperity will not come as promised.
It was the great common people of
America and not the rich who Mivcd
our institutions in lsv,t, und it will de
volve on the givat common people of
this country to save frco government

to-fliiy Irsucd tho following sta. lent:
"If tho flnnl results shall show that
Mr. Jlryan Is defeated, It does not dem
onstrate that free silver is bcuten by
tiny means. The extreme and
Impolitic plunks of tho Chicago
platform lost us hundreds of thou
sutidu of votes among conservative
business men, who were really iu
favor of free coinage. Another factor
In this contest which has greatly In
jured us, has boon tho fact that 'four
years ago thu Democratic party went
into power with u ptesident ami
both houses of congress and the
policy of that president, and the
legislative nctt of a majority of
that party in congress have been
too often against the Interests of tho
people. Tho American people wanted
a change, mid, If Mr. ltryau Is defeat
ed, It Is largely due to the ft'ct that
they ut this time were not willing to

that the next time It Is submitted to

London. Nov. 7.-The ttlnl of Walter
M. Castle and wifo, wealthy citiens of
San Franeheo. on the charge of shop
lifting, was set for to-day iu thu Clerk
enwell tesslon-j. Tho quiet tin
courtroom was broken by hysterical
sobbing by Mrs. Custle, whose husband
suprorted her. Iloth prisoners wero
atti ti in black.
Castle stood up calmly as the clerk
of thu court read thu indictment and
e tiled upon h'ni to plead. "Not
g.tilty," he answered In a strong voice,
as a Hush passed ucros, his face.
Mrs. Custle wa.s then called upon to
plead, but Mr. Clarke arose and said
that his client. Mrs. Castle, would
plead guilty to nil the indictments
Mrs. Castle sobbed violently, lu spite
of the clfurt't or her husband' to southu
her. She rocked to and fro. moaning.
Horace I J. Avory opened the ease In
behalf of the public prosieutor. Ho
said that, lifter careful consideration,
mill ss his lonlshlp expressed a view to
th" i utriiry. there appeared to lm no
cvlih.ice against the mule defendant.
The judge thereupon directed the
jury that l hey could not convict u man
against whom no evidence was pre
sented, g
Mr. Avory for the prosecution re
counted the case us It piesented Itself
against Mrs. Castle.
Mr. Clark, for Mrs C.istle, said: "I
do not complain of the prosecution's
statement. If the law In this country
stood as It did up to 1HS3, 1 .should huvo
advised her not to plead guilty, lint
the o.xtra act passed In Ibti3 provides
that If 1 eau satisfy the jury that she
was not rcsponsllile, then tho jury is
not bound to convict. Tho facts which
tho prosecution has recited suggest
that there must bo something extra
ordinary to account for them. In tlvu
or six days this lady, who had no pos
sible temptation, goes about London
and takes urtlclcs under no pres
sure of need. When arrested
she had plenty of money. Mr.
Castle hud started from home
with a credit of 5 $,000. of which i'i.'.O
was not exhausted, und his wife also
had plenty of money. Vour lordship
must have noticed the testimonials to
the Castles' character and how instant
ly this vast amount, of bail was found.
A man or a woman in such circum
stances did not need more tuone and
did not need to steal in order to get It.
Suddenly this lady takes to these pi tie
tiecs of taking "things and packing
them away. The Insanity of these
proceedings Is proved clearly by her
handing to one tradesman a fur with a
private mark upon It. Divinity is
further proved by her taking the toast
racks, etc., of the Hotel Cecil. Clearly,
then, some explanation is required of
these extra circumstances, unil wo aie
picpared to call medical witne-ises."
Dr. William Chapman Origg. :i noted
specialist; Dr. Leonard Uabriel of tho
Royal College of Surgeons, und Dr.
Scott, medical olllecr of Hollowav jail,
testified that Mrs. Castle was anlietcd
with an ailment which was always ac
companied by great mental disturb
ance, causing irresponsibility, and de
claring thai imprisonment would huvo
serious ell'ects, mentally and physic
ally. The magistrates, who numbered
twenty-live, besides this presiding
judge and Colonel Rotten. (Icnerul
ltirch. .Mr. Davis, Sir John Micks and
the deputy judge, Mr. Lovclauil. then
retired, and after a brief ubsetice re
turned und Mrs Custle was brought up
from thu cell sobbing violently. She
staggered to the front of tho dock and
touched the rail, while the clerk of
the court read the indictment, to
which sho pleaded guilty. She "then
sank upon thu chair placed in the
dock.
The judge said that the court had
r-rcat trouble iu dealing with this
clIfHcull easi . which sympathy w as
almost interfi ig witli justice. hat
ever sentence 1.. might ass would bo
curefully reviewed elsewhere, so Unit
any danger to the prisoners' mental
health vv ild be curctully guarded
nguinst. He then passed sentence of
three months' imprisonment, without
hard labor, upon Mrs. Castle.
The unfortunate wouiuu went into
hysterics, shrieking: "Oh, my (Jod!
On, my lioUl" for nearly live I'linutes.
She threw up her arms" und staggered
about, muttering at times incoherently.
All present in the court remained mo
tionless und silent while she was being
ussistod out of tho dock and down the
iron stairs by a nurse and two prison
wurdens, her shrieks becoming
gradually fainter and fainter.
Castle's faco turned an ashen gray
us ho wrnesscd his wife's agony
und all the physicians present went to
her assistance At 1:15 she was calmer
but tearful, and was ablu to enter a
cub, accompanied by her husbund and
tho chief jailer, mid was taken to
Wormwood Scrubbs prison, where sho
vu.H placed In a woman's hospital.
Iteinard Abrahams, one of tho coun
sel for the defense, remarked: "Meas

reprieve; I cannot statu what they
have been, howuvcr."

Toi'KKA, Kan., Nov. 7. County At
torney 11. T. I'hiuney of Jefferson
county, In tho uaiiiu of the state ol
Kansas, yesterday brought suit in the
Leavenworth district court to compel
tho Santa Fo railroad company to dis
pose of Its real estate in Kansas.
Judge Myers appointed Charles F.
Johnson of Oskutoosa as receiver. The
receiver is placed iu control of all the
company's property except the rolling
stock, the order Including right-of-way,
telegraph lines, depots, round
houses, shops and ull other property
that Is staked to tho ground. The
bond of tho receiver was fixed at
3.MI.O0O.
The receiver vens ordered to enter
into an agreement with tho otlicials of
the railroad company to operate Its
line within five days, and if, at tho ex
piration of that time, tho company had
failed to enter into such an agreement,
the receiver was ordered to take charge
of the rolling stock and operate tho
lire
The suit was brought under the alien
land law of Kansas, which prevents
companies, where ','0 per cent or more
of their stock is holt" , aliens, from
holding land in Kansas. It is esti
mated that tho company owns S','0,000,
mil) worth of property in Kansas. Tho
suit covers the entire main line which
owns all the real estate, it is claimed
that the suit is tho outgrowth of uu
old light of long standing among the
stockholders of tho Santa IV. and that
it was Insti.'ited at the instance of
Henry Clews, the Nuvv York banker,
and Newman Hrb, tho well known
railroad iiiun.
(ieueral Solicitor A. A. lliird, of the
?ant l'c lu Kansas refused to talk
alio tt the case to-ni -Ut. lie had heard
indirectly that the receiver had been
appointed, but said no papers had yet
been served on tho otlleinls at this
point. It is understood that the com
pany's tlr-.t move will be to ask that
the casj he transferred to tho United
States court.
This is the first case ever filed in
Kansas under tho alien land law, und
its result will lie watched with great
Interest by capitalists and big corpora

froui which there were evidences ol
tumparlng with the returns.
It scums now to bo appatent that
while Mr llr.vun, after making tin

all of tho Htatci south of thu Potonuu

ull thosu west of the .Missouri, except
California and Oregon.
He has 100 electoral votes, und thli
number may be increased by flnul re
turns from states yet in question, lie
has not obtained enough votes toearrj
tlic- electoral college. Thus this re
murkablo cu'ipalgii doses with the
election of William MoKinloy.
Tho "csull was brought ulxjut by
every kind of coercion and intimidation
on the part of the money jKiwer, Inolud
lug threats of lock-outs and dismissals,
ntnl impending starvation; the employ
incut of by far the largest cuiupulgn
fund ever iiacil In this country and bv
the subordination of a largo portion ol
the A'jiciican press.
Tho president-elect and his party are
under the pledge to the American peo
ple to con'inuu the gold standard, and
by its operation to restore prosperity
to this country.
As chief executive. Mr. MoKinlev
