Snowing bard with intense cold in Yorkshire, Eng., Friday. Dns Moines has had more trouble to dispose of Kelly's army than any other city on their route, so far. Physicians in session at Lincoln last week passed a resolution calling for the removal of Dr. Allen from tho secre taryship of the stato board of health. Kelly's contingent are talking'about taking to water floating down the Des Moines to the .Mississippi, up the Ohio to Wheeling, and thence to Washington on foot. The republican party is the one dis tinctive political organization of this country that has contended for the full rights of t lie men who earn their bread by tho sweat of their brow, irrespective of nationality or previous condition. Coi IliiKCKCXMDaK has delivered his speech to his constituents asking re election. As a southern man said: "Col. Hreckenridge is not on trial. His trial is over. It is the people of Kentucky who are on trial now." The noted de fendant in one of the nastiest scandals on record, was very frank, and seemingly penitent in all lie had to say about his troubles. The election in Indiana last week is an eye-opener. The gains are mostly in manufacturing districts, and they are enough, footed up, to make tho state re publican by ;0,000 mnjority. New Al bany, for instance, usually 1,000 dem ocratic, elects every republican but one councilman. This is a fair sample. Sound lepublican policy means solid wages for working men no soup-house plan. Financial Outlook. Civilization constantly widens its own horizon. The golden rule is a potent instrument of its expansion Man's knowledge measures his vorld. Broth erhood seems larger as the globe appears smaller. Industrial armies demanding work may disgrace the nation more than individuals. An American congress dal lying with ditty is a crime against the commonwealth. (Market Letter. Mr. t;iiilsloii-" Addrex to UN Constituent. England's Grand Old Man has given an eloquent exhortation upon the needs of the times. Mr. Gladstone's letter to his Midlothian supporters is one of the notable utterances of recent times. He sums up the history of the last sixty years as the greatest legislative and ad ministrative period of British annalp, whose prominent note is that of eman cipation, political, social, moral, intel lectual. Ho contemplates the future with some forebodings. There is open ing, he thinks, a period or possibly greater moral dangers, which will bring a great ordeal to those classes now be coming largely conscious of jwwer, who have never heretofore been subject to its deteriorating influences. As a last word, he warns the new depositaries of power against the mistake of their pre decessors: Now is the time for the true friend of the country to remind the masses that they owe their present political eleva tion to no principles less broad and noble than these--the love of liberty, and of liberty for all without distinction of class, creed, or country, and tho reso lute preference of the interests of the whole to any interest, be it what it may, of a narrower scope.--(From ''The Pro gress of the World," in the May number of the Review of Reviews. DISASTROUS TO SEALING FLEET two Vtt-el;. Lost With All Hands and An- other Is a Total Wreck. San Francisco. May 8. The present season has been most disastrous to the sealing fleet.

Hall with 42, the City of San Diego with 323 and the Walter Earle with 420. Great Britain to Be Kept Paramount. London. May 8. Baron Hood of Ava lon, a rear admiral and formerly a lord of the admiralty, called the attention of the lords to the great increase in foreign navies and asked whether the proposed increase in the British navy, provided for in the British estimates, was sufficient to insure to Great Britain the command of the seas. Baron Hood especially urged an increase of 6,500 men in the personnel of the navy. The first lord of the ad miralty. Earl Spencer, said the govern ment was determined to maintain the navy and render Great Britain para mount upon the sea. American Farmers Going- to Africa. London, May 8. A dispatch from Capetown says: A pioneer party sent out by the American Board of Foreign Mis sions is about to start for Mashonaland to examine the country's resources and fitness for farming purposes.

The ibills heretofore pre sented by Senator Vest, and reported from the finance committee, are indorsed by the compromise committee. There is a general increase in the bill, and in some schedules the increase is very marked.

He said he would now press for sessions beginning at 10 o'clock in the morning, in order that more speed might be made; REPUBLICAN CONFERENCE HELD. Consider What Attitude to Take In the Senate on the Tariff Question. Washington, Ma 8. The Republican steering committee of the senate held a conference Monday for the purpose of considering the attitude of the Repub lican party in the senate on the tariff question, in view of the claims made by the Democrats that they have assurances of the 4 votes necessary to pass the bill. While the members of the committee do not freely discuss the action of the com mittee, it is announced they decided to announce to Democratic leaders they had no intention of filibustering against the tariff, and especially would not ba in clined to resort to the dilatory tactics if the Democratic party should prove to be substantially united on the tariff bill. The interchange of viewy developed the fact, however, that the Republicans think there is much material in the new compromise bill for legitimate discussion and the' will insist upon the right to dis cuss the bill a amended upon its merits. The suggestion was made during the con ference that a Republican caucus should be held, and some of the members of the sommittee stated later in the day they considered a caucus within the next two Dr three days probable. The committee was assured of a solid Republican vote against the compromise bill. Seaator Allen' Cozey Resolution. Washington, May 8.

Boarded a Cattle Traiu Another Phas f the Coxcy Question. Des Moines, May 8. Up to Monday evening 118 of the 150 barges had been completed. Kelly has been compelled to draw nearly $30f from his army chesl to help pay tor lumber, ine provisions have been fallinz low and an aniieal for help has been sent out signed by J. R. Sovereign, general master workman ol the Knights of Labor; Eugene V. Debs, president of the American Railway union; L. P. Jones, president of the State Federation of Labor, and others, The appeal is for all organized labor all ' here, also the killing of Thunder Hawk ' Gon'1 ss- A"ont. l- O. R. R, Balti over the country to help Kelly's army, about a week ao. I more' Md It says: "KelJv's arinv is largelv corn- posed of liiea.jvs of organized labor, They are engaged in a crusade calcu lated to benefit labor in various ways and especially in an educational way. The army is sadly in need of material support. Every effort is being put forth by a combination of corporations to impede the course of its march and, it possible, to annihilate tho army as a body of unemployed workmen. "Without committing itself to any particular theory or legislative policy, now is certainly one of tho times when organized labor can further its cause and the interests of labor in general by doiug a simple act of charity. We therefore appeal to you in this emergency to con tribute something towards helping Kelly feed his men. We trust overy trades or labor organization in the country will contribute at leat $1 each, and that un organized labor will also do its full part. Remit to J. R.

The prospects of arrest on the chargo of abduction awaits Messrs. Coxey and Browne when Judge Miller of Washington is done with them. This trouble is in consequence of the appearance of the "Angel of Pace" in Coxey's May day parade. The angel was Miss Mamie CoscV, who is still in Washington, and who got there without her mother's knowledge or consent. The mother, Mrs. Carolina Coxey. the di vorced wife of the "general," secured her decree on the ground of excessive cruelty and was made legal custodian of the girl. Young Jesse Coxey was sent from Rockville, Md., and succeeded in getting his sister to run away with him. After their departure, a letter was found in Mamie's room written by Carl Browne, in which that gentleman says: "There can be no harm in your visiting Wash ington and being with your brother." Mrs. Coxey announces her intention of having Browne and Coxey arrested the moment they put foot in Ohio, and she may carry the war into the District of Columbia. Called Coxey a Knave. Washington, May 8. In the trial of the commonweal leaders, Coxey "s ex planation of his plans for redeeming the government was the principal feature of Monday's proceedings, apart from the speeches by the lawyers. It is apparent the case is being treated on the broad grounds of justification tor Coxey's movement, for the assistant district at torney in his opening address called Browne a crank and did not hesitate to insinuate that Coxey was a knave, while the opposing lawyers endeavored to make the trial appear a persecution by the plutocrats of the people and appealed to animositv against Wall street. Coxcyiles Spiking IialM. Spkagce, Wash., May H. The Coxey ites have been for days interfering with the Northern Pacific road by spiking the rails on the heavy up grades and swarming on the oars in the yards. One of their number concealed himself on the tracks of a cattle train, and when it reached here set the air brakes, thus pre venting the train from being rushed through. The Coxeyites boarded three cars, and the officials have ordered the stock unloaded, aud declare they will not carry the industrials. The country ia thronged with Coxeyites, and recruits are constantlv Another Piiate of the Coxey Movement. Fergus Falls, Minn., May 8. A Coxey organizer, who was here with a wing of the army, in an interview said $5,000 was subscribed in Butte to help take the army which he is organizing in the west to the east. He says other cities on the coast have raised large sums to send unemployed workmen east. They care nothing about the effect of the movement. The west, it is asserted, has been getting the dead beats and un desirable citizens of the east and is now shipping them back by the trainload. Precaution Taken by the Itnck Island. Topeka, Maj- 8. Information was re ceived at the office of the Rock Island Railway company that a part- of 300 .Coxey recruits from Cripple Creek, Colo., had arrived at Pueblo, and that the men were endeavoring to secure assistance in the way of transportation to the east. Fearing an attempt might ba made to take possession of their ears the company ordered all surplus rolling stock out of the city and trains in and out of Pueblo are to be run with extreme care while the menace continues. Mm. Leas as a Candidate fur Congress. Topeka. May 8. There was talk here of putting Mrs. Lease in uomioaiion for congressman-at-large, but the Populist leaders do not want to turn down Con gressman Harris. They are willing, however, to give her the nomination in the Seventh district, should Jerry Simp son not make the race again. POOL AGREEMENTS NOT LEGAL. Courts Will Xot Aid to Enforce Contract Contrary to Law. St. Paul, May 8. The United States circuit court of appeals has affirmed the decision of the United States court foi the eastern district of Missouri in the case of the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul railway vs. Wabash, St. Louis and Pacific. These railways with five others signed a pooling agreement in 1893, the division to be in the trafiic itself. In the course of business the Wa bash carried moro than its share and the Milwaukee carried less. It was decided by the pool commission that the Wa bash should pay the Milwaukee 108,404, and suit was instituted for that amount. The courts hold that the plaintiffs action was based on an illegal contract: that with the contract ignored there is uc cause for action and accepting the con tract, it states an illegal and void cause for action and the courts will not lend their aid to enforce any contract con trary to law or public policy.
