J u. I cbc r 'I' DEATH WAS SUDDEN. EX-SPEAKER CRISP DIES FROM HEART DISEASE. Twice Iresldlng Officer of the Katlonnl Ilonse of Representatives, and Long a Leader of the Democratic Party Won Id Have Heen Elected Senator from Georgia Ilnd Ho Lived. Death of Ex-Speaker Crlip. Atlanta, Qa., Oct. 24. Charles F. Urlsp, the cx-Spcaker of tho House of Representatives, died hero this after noon very suddeuly and unexpectedly, lie had long been troubled with heart disease, but had not recently beon In bad health. Charles Frederick Crisp was born in Sheffield, England, January 20, 1845, while his parents were on a theatrical trip abroad, both being actors. lie ob tained his education in the Georgia public Bchools and served in the Con federate army from tee outbreak of tho rebellion till ho was made a prisoner of war in 1804. At tho closo of the war he studied law and was admitted to tho bar in 1800, and in 1872 was appointed solicitor general of the Southwestern judicial district of Georgia. In 1877 ho was appointed judge of tho superior court, which position ho filled for sev eral years. In 1883 ho resigned to go to Congress. Tho principal work dono by Mr. Crisp during his first term in Congress, which went for nothing at tho time, was to apply himbelf most diligently to acquiring nn extended knowledge of the business of the House. At tho opening of tho Forty-ninth Congress Mr. Crisp was assigned to the second place on the committee on Pacific railroads and to the third place on tho committee on commerce. His capacity for hard work may be judged from the fact that he made during this Congress forty-six reports from the commerce committee, three from the Pacific railroads committee and five conference reports. Tho most im portant of theso was the conference report on the interstate commerce bill, which finally became a law. Mr. Crisp was chosen Speaker of tho Fifty-second Congress after such a long and rather animated contest with as pirants of his own party in caucus that the election was not made until after the House's session began. When the Fifty-third Congress convened he was re-elected without opposition. Mr. Crisp was as cool and collected as Mr. Reed. Generally he spoke in a low tone save when in a burst of eloquence he drew a peroration. When the Speaker ruled against him he would, if an arguing chance existed, differ with tho Speaker, and appeal from the de cision of the chair. Hi points of order ho made clearly and forcibly, but calmly. He did not storm at tho Speaker. He did not raise his voice in anger. Hut with all his nerves well in hand, he would wait until tho hubbub subsided and the crowd around him, resentful of the arbitrary rulings of the Speaker, had quieted down, and then, like a judge charging a jury and equally unimpussioned, he would make his point. Mr. Heed often bought to taunt Mr. Crisp into anger, but the sar casm of the Maine man. which had proved too much for so many other democrats, produced no appreciable effect on the Georgian. Mr. Crisp's death was not altogether a surprise in political circles, for ho had had several bpells of illness in Washington. ne suffered from asthma, and later from heart trouble. Bis ill health, however, did not become a matter of public notoriety until last spring, when he was compelled to abandon a series of joint debates ar ranged with ex-Secretary Hoke Smith because of the advice of his physician that it would imperil his life for him to continue the debate, which had at tracted state as well as national inter est, by reason of the fact that it in volved the position of the Democratic party of the state on the silver ques tion, as well us the senatorship from Georgia, for which the ex-speaker was an active candidate. The silver men won their fight, und Mr. Crisp, had he lived, would have been the next sen ator from Georgia. JONES FOR CONCESSION. tie Adrlses Giving Away to Georgia Pop ullits. Atlanta, Ga., Oct. 24. It is learned here on what is believed to bo unim peachable authority that fusion was agreed on at Chicago yesterday be tween Senator Jones and Populist Com mitteeman Washburne, and as a result Waahburne left Chicago for Nashville and H. W. Heed left Atlanta last night for tho same place, where they will meet Mr, Watson. Senator Jones wired his representa tive here in substauco as follows: "We must accede to the demands of the Pop ulists for fusion in Georgia." The reply was: "The Populists of Georgia don't want fusion; they de mand a surrender." To this Senator Jones responded: "If these are tho facts, use your own Judgment." It appears from this that a general plan of fusion satisfactory to tho Pop ulists has been agreed on between Washburne and Jones and that Georgia alone stands in the way of consumma tion.

Official Statement In Iteration to Certali Charge. CinoAno, Oct. 24. Chairman Hannn of tho Republican national committee has issued the following oOlcial state ment in relation to tho frcqucni charges that workingincu are being co erced: "The manifest policy of tho sllvet Democratic managers in this cam paign, as set forth by their candidata for President, shortly after his nomi nation, has been to create the belief in tho minds of tho workingmen that they wore being coerced by their employers to voto contrary to their convictions. Tho chairman of their national com mittco, Hon. James K. Jones, has cm- fmasized this policy in a proclamation n which ho boldly charges tho employ ing classes of the country with having entered into a conspiracy to coerco their employes into votinir contrary to their opinions. This is a very grnvo charge, and it has now assumed a form that justifies giving it some uttcntion. It is an insult, both to employer and employe. "We do not believe that one is des potic enough to attempt to coerco, o that the other is so cringing as to bo coerced. Employers and employes are all free American citizens, knowing their rights and cnpablo of maintain ing them. "To coerce a voter is a crime against the laws of the land, and if Messrs. Bryan and Jones know of coercion thoy made themselves accomplices of the criminals by not informing tho propor authorities and taking steps for prosecution. It has been tho policy of the Republican party since its or ganization to protect every citizen hi the exercise of his elective franchise, and it will adhere to that policy. "Whilo wo consider tho charge ab surd, and beliovo that American work ingmen and employers are too inde pendent and patriotic either to be co erced or to coerce, the Republican na tional committee will do anything in its power to protect workingmen in tho free and untrammeled exercise of their rights as citizens and will cheerfully unite with the national Dcinocratio committee in any movement having that object in view. "Coercion of voters is not only an un-American, unpatriotic and despotic usurpation of the rights of a free citi zen, but it is a wrong that will inevit ably recoil upon its perpetrators. It is an arbitrary use of power that is in direct conflict with tho principles of our government. The civil compact of majority rule means free majorities, for whose protection all constitutional powers should bo used, and without which a political victory would be bar ren of results worthy of a great party. This committee will spare no pains to secure to every citizen, whatever his politics, the right to cast his vote ac cording to his own convictions and to havo his voto honestly counted. 'M. A. Hanna.m BRYAN'S ILLINOIS TOUR. Eighteen I'luces on tho List for the First Hay Mr. Cannon Qnoted. Mattoo.v, 111.. Oct. 24. Mr. Bryan began his great tour of Illinois to-day and he will spend the next eight days in the state. Eighteen places were down on his itinurary for to-day and a few more will undoubtedly be added before night. Danville was the first stop of tho morning, and from a stand near tho court house Mr. Bryan spoke to a largo assemblage. He said that ho did not come to talk to those who believed in free silver, but wanted to appeal to those who up to this time had been afraiu oi the results ot free coinage. After saying that he could prove tho benefits of free silver by Republican testimony, he quoted from the speech made by Congressman Cannon in tho house of representatives in 1878. A twenty minutes stop was made at Paris and there Mr. Bryan condemned the money changers. The audience included many farmers. At Charleston a gaily decorated platform on wheels was at the station and after Mr. Bryan and Ills party had ascended It 200 men drew it to a vacant lot, where Mr. Bryan addressed a largo crowd of farmers for a quarter of an hour. Another Crusade Feared. Constantinople Oct 24. Tho tax trades issued Wednesday in connection with the recent purchase of arms, have resulted in a condition of affairs which is regarded as very grave. Tho minis ters were opposed to the poll tax im posed on the Mussulmans, but the palace officials insisted that the meas ure was necessary for tho defense of Mussulman religion on the ground that tho Christians were preparing to attack the Mussulmans, and the Eu ropean press was preaching a cru sade against Islam. Mr. Wilson May Become a Judge. Washington, Oct. 24 . There ia con siderable speculaton here as to the successor of the late Chief Justice Rich ardson of the United States court of claims. The idea seems to be that tho president will appoint a Southern Dem ocrat because the remaining four Judges are Northern men and Rcpub icans and a name spoken frequently is that of Postmaster General Wilson.

BRYAN AND M'KINLEY BOTH KEPT BUSY. The Former In UU Tour Through Indi ana I-nrge Gathering Greet the Can ulrtnte Mettlulej Talk to the Farmer "Protection Held to Ue Kecesiary for Their Prosperity, Bryan' Tonr In Indiana. Roohrotrh, Ind., Oot 3. The Indi ana commlttco ovldontly does not in tend to allow Mr. Bryan to keep very tar behind tho record as a speech maker on this trip through llooslerdora. Nineteen speeches were tnado In twen tpfour hours eudlng at midnight lost night and to-day sevcutoon are on tho list, and there will probably bo more The Qrat speech of tho morning was ot Dcoatur, shortly utter 6 o'clock. Several thousand peoplo listened to Mr. Bryan for moro than a quarter of bn hour. Tho crowd was made up of tho moat part ot farmers, and Mr. Bryan told thorn, that tho farmers ot no country had ever Indorsed tho gold standard, and called attention to tho meeting ot agriculturists soma Umo ago in Inula Pesth, where bimetallism was indorsed and greetings wore Rent to tho bimetallism of America. Ho quoted from tho address ot Prince Bis marck to the farmers a yoar ago, in which he said that the farmers must stand together and protect themselves from tho drones 01 (society who pro duced nothing but laws, Mnrkel was not down on tho bills for a speech, bu. a stop was made thcro and Mr. Bryan spoke for flvo minutes. Mr. Bryan was taken from tho car to a stand at Huntington and ho cpokc to a crowd which numbered up into tho thousands and which was evidently more to his way of thinking than somo of tho crowds of yesterday. Tho people of Lake ton had tele graphed that a crowd had gathered thero and a stop was made just long enough for Mr. Bryan to greet tho peo ple and shako hands with thoso nearest him. The public square in front of tho court house at Rochester was well filled whoa Mr. Bryan arrived thoro. In his speech ho quoted from tho In diana Republican platform of six years ago and referred to tho message of ex- President Harrison of Deo. 1800. Ho said in part: "I want to address my remarks to tho Republicans who may bo present. I want to show tho Repub licans who are horo to-day that tho Republican party has deserted the po sition which it has occupied and has changed its policy in attcmyting to change the convictions of tho Repub licans who supported it whon it was supporting bimetallism. In that plat form they commend the action of Congress on tho sllvor question. In that platform they point to tho action of the Democrats who voted for demonetization and de nounced thoso Democrats, and yet to day, when we stand in tho samo posi tion that thoy stood and wo stood after demonetization, tho Republicans of In diana are asked to declare that that is a good thing which they denounced six years ago. I want you to remember that in that platform thoy declared that sllvor legislation had increased tho value of silver, and yot when wo ask to increase the value of silver thoy say it can't increase tho value of silver by law. "President Harrison in a messago 6cnt to congress on the first of Decem ber, 1890, pointed to tho silver legisla tion of 1890 and gave it credit for tho advance in tho value of silver and said that tho advance in tho valuo mode lu crcasing prosperity among the people. And, lest some protectionist should attribute the prosperity to the protec tive tariff, Mr. Harrison declared that it was not duo to the tariff law known as tho McKlnley bill, but was due to tho silver law that added 54,000,000 a year to the cur rency of this country. And yet the same ex-President Harrison, who in his messago declared that increasing prosperity came because of the increas ing volume of the currency is to-day defending the Republican party in its attempt to decrease tho currency and destroy the prosperity of the country. You will notice that your platform of 1800 praised tho addition of 854,000,000 of monoy to the currency and yet the statistics of the Treasury department show that we have in actual circula tion SI 50,000,000 less this year than we had two years ago and in spito of the decreasing currency the Republican party proposes no plan by which that currency may be increased. I wont to ask you Republicans who rejoiced at the addition of 854,000,000 a year In 1890, why you have changed your minds and rejoice at a decrease in the currency in 1890. I do not believe that the rank and file of tho Republi can party will turn as quickly as tho Republican managers turned. I do not believe that the plain peoplo oi the Republican party are going to change their convictions just because tho money changers got hold of the Republican convention or wrote a Slatform suited to Wall street eand Ingland Instead of the platform in favor of the American people." SIoKluley Talks to Agriculturists. Canton, Ohio, Oct 23. -This morn ing a large delegation of farmers from about Creston were the first callers. Mr. McKinley spoke to them In part as follows: "Wo cannot by legislation in this country make values; we cannot by any legerdemain on finance make something out of nothing. The only way to get wealth is by labor, and anybody who teaches any other doc trine is a false teacher End not the friend of American citizenship or our American homes. There is no way of creating wealth by the mere breath of Congress. Congress can do a good many things, but It cannot make you rich or the country rich by debasing the money of the country, and it can not make the country rich by giving us dollars that are only worth 52 cents each and stamping them dollars. Now, Congress can help the country, but it must be by wise legislation, eating for the producer, the laborer, the farms and the manufactures of our own peo ple, by protecting them against the products of people living in other lands. "If yon awe a farmer, what you want tret U rood arc. LerUlatioa cannot J kla yon to these. Yea knev fas order to got good crops you havo to sow, and ' then you must havo God's sunshine and rnln, and a chnnp dollnr will never help your crops any, You have, then, to work just as hard for a good as for a poor crop. Now, If you have. a good crop, then you want a good market You havo that In the United States If you are lot alono, but If somebody's product can come In hero and dlsplaco yours, then your market is not so good. Is not that right? This Is all thoro Is to tha$ question. Thero is a question which our 70,000,000 of American frco men should settlo by their ballots. It Is shall our country protect American interests and promote Amorloan do-1 velopmont against tho outsldo world? "Now, whon you have a good market and soil your wheat or corn you want to bo paid in good money, don't you? You older men around mo will remem ber tho porlod when you sold your wheat and wore paid in Stato bank monoy, which was good on tho day you received it, but just as likely as not on tho next day you discovered that this valuo hod depreciated and It was not worth anything, and so all your labor was lost WoU now, tho best thing tor tho farmor, after his good crops and his good market is good money, and whon you glvo full four pecks tor a bushol and sell your wheat by tho full bushol you want to bo paid in dol lars that are fully worth 100 cents each, not only toi-day, but overyday and ovorywhero. This Is what tho Re publican party stands for this year thoso two tilings abovo all others, but tho Republican party does not stand nlono for them. The greater part of tho Democratic party, the groat load ers of tho old Democratic party, aro ono with us in tho struggle for natl ton al honor and prosperity." KILLED BY A BOMB. nelteved to be the Work of au Anarchist. New Yonit, Oot 33. Hamlin J. An drus, sccrrtary of tho Arlington Chom ical works, located on Palisade avenue, Yonkcrs, was instantly killed yester day morning by a dynamite bomb which, the police think, was placed thcro for tho purpose of destroying Hfo and property. Tho body of tho victim was frightfully mangled by tho explosion, and death must havo coma instantly. Hamlin Andrus was a man of wealth, and he lived in Yonkers in handsome stylo with his family. He left his homo In company with his son, Hiram, aged 20 years, a llttls before 8 o'clock, end thoy went to tho factory together. It was a few minutes after 8 o clock when tho explosion occurred. It shook tho factory building and was accompanied by the sound of crashing glass and a volumo of smoke. A wild rush was made by tho factory employes to the office. They woro headed by young Andrus. Ho found tho floor of that portion of the offico building occupied by his fathor cov ered with glass, mortar and broken furniture. In one corner of tho room he saw the bleeding body of his father, partly covered with tho debris. It was in a terribly mangled condition. Im bedded in the flesh of tho dead man were found several pieces of cast iron. Other pieces, corresponding to these, woro found In tho office. They wore carefully placed together and, although all the pieces were not found, there were enough of them to show that the bomb, or machine, that exploded was a piece of cast iron pipe, about six inches in length by ono and one-hulf inches in diameter. Fastened to either end of this piece of pipe was a cap, which was sorewed on. The odor and smoke indicated that tho explosive was either dynamite or giant powder. So far no motive has been disclosed lor tno murder, information of a startling character was received by tho police, which may aid in tho solution of tho mystery. It was to tho effect that the bomb was intended for John F. Andrus, brother of the dead man, a several times millionaire. John F. Andrus did not appear at the office of the Chemical company, as was his custom. On learn ing of the explosion and the death of his brother he hurried to the police station and communicated with Cap tain Mangin. To tho captain ho said that the explosion of tho bomb might have been the work of anarchists, and offered an explanation for his belief. About three weeks ago, he said, ho was walking along Wall street, New York, when he was accosted by a rather seedy looking individual, who took him by the arm and said: "Mr. Andrus, you are a very wealthy man. You have too much money, and I am one of a number of people who believe that you ought to distribute at least one-third of whut you have among tho poor. You will either do this, or thero will be a way found of compelling you to do it." Andrus, according to his story, paid little attention to the man at tho time. Up to the present time no arrests have been made. WATSON'S NAME STAYS ON Kansas Supreme Court Issues the Mau damus Asked for by Ilreldeuthal. Topkka, Kan., Oct 23. The supreme court yesterday afternoon issued a peremptory writ of mandamus to com pel Secretary of State W. C. Edwards to certify the name of Thomas E. Wat son to the county clerks of the Stato as a candidate for vice president on tho Populist ticket The court held that as Watson's name was not certified to the secretary of state as that of a candidate to be voted for by the people, but 6olely to be added to the party appellation, the secretary had no right to refuse to cer tify it to the county clerks for publi cation on the ofllclal ballot. The opinion in tho case will be written by Chief Justice Martin, Mr. Justice Allen concurring. Mr. Justice Johnson will write a dis senting opinion, holdlncr that the ad- I dltlon of the appellation to the Fopu I list party is intended to deceive the I voters. Secretary Edwards w.as served with the writ last night, and his oflloe forco was promptly set at work mall , ing notices to the county clerks to have Watson's name printed on the Populist ucuet along with that 01 Mr. Bryan.

The Armenian Masiacres. London, Oct. 21. St James hall was packed last night, many women being present, by people anxious to tako , part in tho demonstration of protest against the Armenian mnaiacres. Tho Bishop of Rochester presided instead of the Duke of Westminster, who wrote regretting that 111 health compelled him to be absent.

Dr. John Guinness Rogers and a number of members wearing their insignia, sat upon the platform. Ten peers, twenty-eight bishops and a number of deans and nonconformist ministers wrote ex pressing their regret at their inability to attend. Intense enthusiasm was manifested by those present especially over the reading of a letter from Mr. Gladstone. In this Mr. Gladstone expressed tho hope that the mooting would worthily crown tho Armenian meetings of tho past two months which, he said, wero without a parallel during his political life. The great object was to Btrongthcn Lord Salisbury's hands and to stop the series of massacres, which wero proba bly BtlU unfinished, and to provide against their renewal. Mr. Gladstone's letter concluded as follows: "I havo had special oppor tunities of knowing of whut materials tho Sultan, with all his obstinacy, is mado. From deplorable and disgrace ful causes he triumphs for the moment, but for the moment only. In the faco of civilized mankind he has recorded the final condemnation, first and fore most of himself, but next and no less effcotually thoso who have been his willing brutal and sanguinary tools." The meeting unnnhnously adopted resolutions expressing abhorrence of tho Armenian massacres and support of tho British government in its efforts to stop them, appealing to the powers to co-operate with that object and ask ing all nations and creeds to assist in the succor of the helpless und sturving Armenians.

SPAIN'S THRONF TOTTERS. ritllllplnn IslMnd Revolt n Serious Mate ter. San Francisco, Oct 21. Advices by tho steamer Peru from SIngnporo and Hong Kong, up to September 27, state that tho rebellion In tho Phllllpplno islands Is much moro serious than has been goncrally recognized. It Is said that tho reports of revolutionist de feats sent out by Spanish officers havo been greatly exaggerated, and that so far the rebels havo more than held their own In the struggle for indepen dence. It Is stated that tho revolution Is now beyond tho control of tho Spanish authorities, and that unless reinforcements aro sent to Manilla im mediately, tho Spanish forces are in danger of final defeat The rebels now hold tho province of Cavito, are well organised, and have 8,000 Manser rifles. There are many natives In the Spanish troops, and tho offloors aro afraid to take native regiments Into tho Interior because their loyalty is doubted. Tho Hong Kong Press says editori ally that thero is no longer room for the least doubt that affairs In tho "Phll llpplno Islands will In a short time as sume the proportions of the Cuban rebellion. The natives are determined. As each rebel writes an agreement, he signs his name on his arm with blood and swears vengeance against tho Spaniards. Tho story of tho original plans for striking tho blow is a most serious one. For a long time tho natives havo been conspiring to overpower the govern ment, ana it was finally decided to make a strong attack on tho 15th of July. Governor Gonoral Blanco was to have been murdered by one of tho na tives on that day, and It was arranged to swoop down suddenly Upon the body of offloors who attended tho funeral, kill as many as possible, then ronsaok tho town of Manilla and tako posses sion of tho place. It was duo to a woman that tho dia bolical plot wns discovered. In the confessional, she disclosed tho plot to tho priest, who divulged tho secret Tho arrest and Imprisonment of many natives plainly indicated that the priests were oognisant of tho arrange ments, and then, towards tho end of August, the fighting commonced In roal earnest From that time up to the middle of this month, the date of tho latest news, there wero repeated bloody conflicts between tho govern ment forces and the natives. Tho Ma nilla correspondent, under date of Sep tember 2, denies that the Spanish troops defeated tho robols on August 31. Tho wrltor says: "Eight rebels killed at St Mesa; counted six or eight at San Juan, be side those on the Spanish side. The bodies (rebels) arc being left unburlod to rot Over 100 of them, somo say 150, were shut up In a small room under tho bastions of San Sebastian Intra Muros on Monday night, no water; ono small window.
