view with Henry George, In which h
-ays: "I have been Informed Unit
there Is n panic In Tnminany camp
I'ho lenders tiro nlarmed ut the sud
den uprising of men who are tired of
the despotism of tho mttehlne. Ac
cording to all reports thuro Is good
cauho for fenr, but It Is not confined to
tho managers of nnv omo nnrtv. Of
course, I am not speaking of my own (
Knowledge. 1 only glvo what comei
lo mo from trustworthy sources. Ac- '
cording to confidential Information re
elved last evening, a 'hurry call' was j
cut out today by Tatnmnuy man
agr, summoning tho district lenders i
(o Immediate council. A gient danger
was said to bo imminent. It was re- ,
ported Hint offets of substantial aid ,
for our movement had been madu by
responsible men. who nald thev stood '
ready to Help tho cause in all direc
tion "i am willing to o.sprcss myself
clearly on all tho questions at issue.
My pi un of campaign Is to toll tho
truth. 1 huvo nothing to conceal.
I'ho fact that I am n candidate for
mayor will not cnuso inu to change
auy of my views. My opinions aro
founded on principles that uro not to
bo chnugod becauso of tho campaign.
I am a frco trader. It may prevent
soino persons from supporting me. If
ko, 1 cannot help It; I am not adjust
ing my vlow.s to tho exigencies of n
political campaign. I am a free trader
puro and simple. I rocognl.o no dif
foretico between a national and mu
nicipal campaign so far ns honest pol
itics are concerned. In both cases wo
want honest mon who believe in an
honest administration of tho laws.
This is why I say tho men were right
when they went before tho grand jury
asking for an indictment of tho tax
commissioners, and if they keep on
fighting thoy will surely win.
Tho Central Labor union has as
sumed on imprognablo position. It
demands that tho laws shall be en
forced without respect to the rich,
And right here tho principles of single
tax como Into play. Tho insurance
cases uro particularly pertinent just
now Tho Central Labor union claims.
as 1 understand it, that tho Hqultnblo
Llfo Insurance company valued its
property nt Slt'.OUO.OOO in its returns
made to tho statu insurance board at
Albany, but when tho local New York
assessor camo around It put in its
valuablt property at S'.'.OOO.Ooo. With
Ingle tax In foreo, these robberies
and corruption of men In oHloo would
b avoided,
"In regard to the silver question, I
havo nothing to conceal. I say now,
what I said repeatedly during tho
llryan campaign, that, wlulo I was
supporting that gentleman and would
vote his ticket, I was not u believer in
the theory that silver was a remedy
or tho evils that boot the eouutry.
I shall discuss tho silver quostion ex
actly us I dlscusod It during tho
presidential campaign. Wo havo
nothing to present but tho truth.
Vfo have noscheme, no secret policies
no political traps for our cuouues
nothing but tho cold naked truth. On
theso lines wo shall mako our fight.
If our enemies can meet us on tho
platform In public debate or wherever
they euro to discuss the Issue before
tho votors, thoy will at least show
tkty aro sincere In what they call
their conviction."

GOLD FROM SILVER.
A flclentllt Noll. L'ncln Nxni Unlit Malt
Ont of MrX.ian Dollar.
WAsiiiNOioy, Oct. .'..Among tho
callers nt the ofllco of tho director of
tho mint to-day was Dr. Stephen H.
Kmmetis of Now Itrlghtou, Mtntcn
Island, N. Y. Tho doctor has discov
ered a process by which he Is ublo lo
extract gold from Mexican silver dol
lars at a profit, and the object of his
visit was simply to pay bin respects to
Director I'reston, who Is ono of his
best customers.
I'ho doctor Is no eminent scientist,
and when ho produced letters from
such men in I'rofossorWIIIIam Crookcs,
tho Inventor of Crookcs tubes, und
Henri de Purvlllo of Paris, editor of
Lu Nature, showing that thoy re
garded him as a great discoverer In
the domain of science, .Mr. Preston
treated his visitor with the highest
consideration.
Dr. Ihumcns has a laboratory on
Staten Island, where he converts Mex
ican stiver dollars Into gold. Ho rails
tho product argentaurum gold, wh!cl
he sells to the United States assay
otllce in New York city at 5I.T per
ounce. He deposited the first ingot at
thu assav olllce lust Anrll. which nn.
sayed 81.1 to the ounce and for which
ho received HXi.M Since that time he
hns deposited thirteen Ingots of about
tho samo lltioucss, for which hu has
received sums of money ranging from
8180 to SIS.',. Ho called tho director's
attention to tho dates of tho dlll'crcnt
deposits, mid Mr. Preston was able to
verify tho statements made by tho vis
itor by referring to the records.
After Dr. Kuimous had taken his do
parturo Mr. Preston said:
"I do not know what to think about
Dr. Kmmotis or his process of convert
ing silver Into gold. The returns
from tho assay ofllco In Now York
show that tho dojtor has been selling
gold to tho government since last
April. Ho has so.d altogether about
SIl.OOO worth At llrst he deposited
only two ingots, or about twenty
ounces nor month. In August ho de
posited four ingots having a total
weight of seventy ounces. Ho depos
ited three ingots in September weigh
ing eighty ounces. Ho told mo that
ho made this gold from Mexican silver
dollars and that It was produced at u
prollt of about '.'.I per cent."
The doctor Is a crlpplu and for pur
poses of locomotion ttbos an Invalid's
roller chair.
'I do not claim Unit 1 produce gold
from silver in the strict sense of thu
oxpres-don," ho .said a little .sharply.
"My process Is a sclentillo one and I
am perfectly willing to answer nny
inquiries concerning it that do not In
volvo a revelation of the method of
treating tho metal. I think there Is
but ono mutter In tho universe nml
the chemical elements are only modes
of this universal siibstai.eo. There Is
no such thing as tniusniutntiou in tho
alchemical sense, but tlioro may bo a
rearrangement of thu molecules. Thu
only dilToiouce hot ween gold am sil
ver Is a d life run co In specific gravity.
I iiso Mexican dollars because I Hud
that I get bettor results from them.
Hrlolly described, my process of treat
ment is as follows:
"I take a Mexican dollar and dis
pose of it in an apparatus which will
prevent expansion or Hov It is then
subjected to heavy, rapid and contin
uous beating under conditions of cold
such as to prevent even a temporary
rlso of temperature, when tho blows
aro struck. Tests made from hour to
hour show that the material is grad
ually being transformed Into gold."
Director Preston is not disposed to
regard Dr. Emmons as nn Imposter.
The books show that tho doctor has
been .selling gold to tho government
and It Is fair to presume that ho is not
doing so at n pccunlury loss to him
self. Hut Mr. Preston believes that
when the doctor begins to operuto on
a largo scalo tho demand for silver
will send tho prlco up to a point
where there will bo uo profit in chaug
iiur it to iold.

by thu statu and positively Identified
by Prof. Horsey of the Field Coliimliian
tnii'ouni as tho right temporal of a wo

Kiius'is, through Attorney General
Hoyle, won every Important point lu
thu Kansas City stock yards ease,
which was decided by Judge Foster at
10 o'clock tliis morning.
The case was brought in such a
shape as to make itovlo and not tho
state defendant, though it was tin at
tack on the statu law passed by the
last legislature to regulatu and redtico
charges on live stoclt nt the yards, and
an application for an iujuiictii.it to re
strain Hoyle as a state ollleer from en
forcing the law.
There were three points on which
the stock yard owners rolled. Judge
Poster said none of them could .stand.
His decision boiled down to a few
words is; Tne law iroverniug stock
yards charges was regularly passed
by thu Kansas legislature. The stock
yards company is only un incident of
commerce and in thu absence a!
action by congress is subjict to tho
state laws. Congress has not acted to

ing yielded to the advice of his at
torneys, though he was groatly disap
pointed, he having declared for months
that he would toll hlsstory to tho jury.
Judge Vincent pointed out to him Unit
William Charles, his business partner,
had toid practically the story Luot
gert would tell. "You cannot add to
It anything that will benefit you,"
aid tho judge. "If you go upon tho
witness stand you will be subjected to
i cross-oxatulnation lnstlng days, and
ovcrlng tho entire period o"f your
life. You will get excited 11111!' you
win say things which will Injure your

Tito first witness called lo-dny was
Henry J. Cov of the L'nited States
weather bureau who came with charts
and data to prove that the night of

teract tho testimony of witnesses who
had sworn that thoy stood across the

the morning. Mrs. Luotgert again
itaul sho was going away and repeated
that sho could not .stand thu disgrace
the failure had brought upon hsr

The unexpected cessation of the ovi
deuce of the defence found the pros
