INDIANAPOLIS. Nov. 3. After another
round of cpecchmaklng General Harrison ar
rived at Indianapolis this evening at 8:15. :
Ho was escorted Immediately to Tomllnaon
hall , where ho mndo tils eleventh speech
of the day. Ho was greeted by great en
thusiasm , Ho spoke briefly , adjuring all
to attest their earnestness by doing all they
could to make the renult In Indiana next
Tuesday decisive. Although ho had made
ten speeches In the open air during the
day , he was In good voice , On his trip
through the state during the day deinon-
etratlons ot Interest and enthusiasm seemed
to Increase as the day advanced. At Alder-
Bon the principal meeting of the day was
hold. The ex-presldcnt and party arrived
about an hour later than schedule , but the
elation was surrounded and the streets were
packed with people. At 2 o'clock General
Harrison was taken to the corner of Eighth
nnd Main street a , where ho reviewed the pas
sage of glass workers and men from the tinplate
plato manufactories of the county. Thcro
were over 2,000 "men In the parade , who
carried banners bearing significant Inacrip
tlons. They carried flags and specimen *
of their own handicraft. Tin helmets and
plato glass swords figured largely , Ten
thousand men surrounded the stand and
Btralncd their eyes to sea and their ears
to hear thespeaker. . Ho said In sub
stance :
My Fellow Citizens If there wcro tlmo
Blioulil like to divide this meeting Into four
or five sections nnd give an afternoon to
each. There are altogether too many o
you hero to be reached by the voice ot nny
speaker. U Is a magnificent demonstration
not only magnificent In Its size , but it li
Impressive In some of Its Incidents. Am
It Is a magnificent tribute by the people
of Madison county to Madison county'
candidate for congress Charles Henry. I
Is a convincing witness to me that in hi
life among you he has won your respect , anc
that you will trust him to represent you ;
Interests In the congress of the Unltei
States.
RESULTS OP BUILDING FACTORIES.
Aldcrson is not the Alderson I hav
known. When I last visited this county
seat It was a prosperous place. It ha
been transformed. It has been mul
tlplled In population. It has been
diversified In Its Industries ; ; It ' .ha
been enormously Increased In Its wealth
What has brought thi-s about ? you hav
found yourselves favorably situated for th
location ot manufacturing plants. This nov
fuel has brought to your city many grea
industries , and this city today Is an 11
lustration of tlio benefits that result" testate
state , a city or a community by the loca
tlon of great manufacturing plantsTh
best argument for the tariff that can pos
slbly bo made Is the contrast between th 3
Alderson as I knew It when I visited I 1
six or eight years ago and this prospsrou
city I see today. And these benefits hav
not been confined to these streets. Th
overflow of this prosperity has not rcaclie ;
the utmost parts of your county. Sovera
other great manufacturing centers have bee
established and there Is not a farmer I
this county lhat has not felt the occruln
benefits of this manufacturing population
You have found a near market : a marke
from your own wagons. You have foun
that these things that are perishable 1
their nature" Und will not bear distant trans
portatlon are absorbed at your very doors.
Wo have lived for thirty years under th
protective system. Only the old men knoi
anything of any other system. You had n
contrast between protection and free trade
The argument used on this question wo.
simply A contention of theories. We coul
point to the prosperity that prevailed. \ \
could claim , as. wo did , thai ono of the grea
agencies In bringing It about was the pro
tectlve system , but our adversaries denle
it. They Bald we would be yet more prosperous
porous If their system was Introduced. Th
was a matter of speculation and prophcc ;
but the contention was likely to go on fo
ever without any definite Issue. Dut In 1S9
the democratic party was invested wit
power. Up to that time It had been a parl
of speculation ; a party of promises ; a part
of platform makers ; but In 1892 there was
suddenly devolved upon that party the re
sponsibility of making laws a responsibility
to which they were wholly unaccustomed.
( Laughter and applause. )
GREW AWAY FROM DEMOCRACY.
This country was a very different country
when It fell Into the hands of the democrats
In 1892 from what It was when last they
had to do with the government , n different
country from what It was during Buchanan's
administration , and It Is not toi bo wondered
that these gentlemen who- had to do with
our country In Its small times have been
inadequate to manage the great concerns of
this nation of nearly 70.000,000 of people.
So our friends , the enemy , coming Into
possession of the government , have been In
much the position Christopher Columbus
would have been If you had suddenly put
him on the btldge of the City of Paris. But
the tariff ts not confined to three years , We
have had experience. For thirty years you >
have been learning what the protective sys
tem and tlio republican parly could do for
the country. NO.W , In less than two years , you
have found out what tree ttado and the
democratic party could do for It. ( Applause. )
After concluding his speech General Harrison
risen was driven quickly to the train. The
first stop alter leaving Alderson was at
Knlghtstgwn , where about 3,000 people called
for a speech , which was forthcoming. When
Ilushvlllo was reached It had grown quite
dark , but a stand had been erected near the
track. Three thousand demonstrative people
ple became Immediately quiet when the gen
eral beean to speak. Among other things
he said that lie did not claim for himself the
treat results which were attained In the
great prosperity which was reached under
his administration. Ho claimed credit for
these things for republican laws and republi
can policies. The difference Is not between
tha man who did or the man who does oc
cupy tha chief executive office. The contrast
ls between the American policy ot protection
which the republican party advocates end the
Engllih policy of tree trade which tlio demo
cratic party advocates.
From Ilushvlllo a quick run was made tate
Grcenaburg. where he made a twenty-minute
speech.
At Slielbyvllle the last and tenth speech
ot the trip was made. The crowd was Im
mense , estimates varying from 6,000 to 15,000.
General Harrison spoke about forty minutes. !
Ha was frequently and energetically S.P
plauded.

NEW YORK , Nov. 3. Political headquar
ters hero have already taken cm an appear
ance that betokens the close of .the cam
paign. Most of the commltteemen have
gone to their homes. At the looms ot the
democratic committee It was stated that work
was practically finished.
Major Hlnckley has confirmed the report
that President Cleveland had contributed $500
to the democratic campaign funds.
Leaders of both parties are much exercised
today over Attorney General Hancock's de
cision rendered yesterday that none tave
physically disabled suffragists can be ren
dered any asltance Inside the election
booths In the preparation of thlr ballots. It
Is said that this dccls on will cost both
parties the votes of many thousands of
Illiterate persons.
Mr. Thachcr , manager of the democratic
campaign , said today that he la confident
that Hill will be elected governor by not
less than US.GGO plurality. Mr. Hackett ,
chairman ol the republican campaign , thought
the plurality ot Morton should be at least
70.000. Very little betting on the election
was done on the stock exchange today.
One offer was made to wager $10.000 on
Morton to $1,000 on Hill , but as the broker
approached had not the money to put up
the proposition was not accepted.

CHICAGO , Nov. 3. The refusal of th
lake and mil lines to advance enstboun
rates , as It had been agreed that they shou"
be on November 1 , tins again thrown th
lines of the Central Tralflc association int
deep trouble. The proposed advance wns t
be to a. basis of " 5 cents on grain betwee
Chlcag-o and the seaboard , but at the pres
ent time any amount of grain can b
shipped for 22 cents and there Is small dlfl"
culty In getting- lower rales than this. Ther
Is now absolutely no chance of stopping th
downward trend of the eastern ratea fo
another month , nnd the chnnccs are thn
some of the lines will then shade the rate
which ore now In effect.
The suit Instituted byv. . A. Keenai
against the .AtchUon road to wipe out th e
switching charge of $2 per car on all Itv
stock received ut the Union stock yards I :
this city will be very likely to result l
dolnff awny with the charce , nomattei
which way this particular suit results. Th
suit has nothing In particular against th
Atchlson road and Is merely a test case , a :
all the roads which receive stock througl
the yards have been charged the ami
irmount on each car. The shippers hnv
been maklmr so strong- lijrht on the thin ,
that the western roads some time sine
agreed to stand the charge by the stocl.
yards company and relieved the shippers
of all liability In. the matter. The roads in
the Western Freight association have long
been of the opinion thai the best thing for
them to do was to follow this lead , and
Chairman Mldgely has been working with
that end in view , and the fact that some of
tile shippers have accumulated sufficient
nerve to take the matter Into the courts
ami make a. strong fight ngalnunt It It Is
probable that the $2 switching charge will
become ancient history.
A second petition was nied In the United
States circuit court today asking that the
receivers of the Santa F be ordered by
the court to abolish the trackage charge Im
posed on live stock delivered at the Union
stork yards. The petition alleges substan
tially the name facts as were set forth In
the previous petition.
FAILED * 'OK Tire a
Original Dlscrotlmmry 1'nol Operator nt
VUUIiuri ; Closoi Up.
PITTSBUIIG. Nov. 3. The failure of
George M , Irwin & Co. , the extensive dis
cretionary pool operators , lias spread con-
Hternutlon among- the depositors. The ofllco
of the firm was besieged all day by an nnx-
IOUB crowd of Investors , clamoring for their
Tnoncy , but there was noTjody to hear their
complaints , except the clerks , who left the
oltlce early. It Is thought that the estimate
of $2,000oou ns the amount on deposit with
Iiwln Is a great exaggeration , but a con
servative estimate would place It at $ SOO,000.
Nearly $200OiK ) wits paid out during the run
on the firm , over $150,000 was last In the
forced sale of wheat , and nearly J100.000 was
lost In bucket shops at the some time.
Irwin usually played short on wheat until
recently , when he- bought extensively. He
was a preat plunger and often sold COO.OOD
to 1,000,000 nusfhels at a time. As a "mem
ber of the Chlcapo Board of Trade he won
and lost several fortunes. He came to Pltts-
buru broken down In health nnd finances
and opened a brokerage business. He drifted
into co-operative speculation and for two
yeun held the field alone. But last May
mushroom shops began to springup till
there were eighteen m operation here. The
operators of the other pools are gcatly de
pressed by Irwln's failure and the fact that
the Chamber of Commerce has taken steps
toward prosecuting all room operators. The
police are working with the Chamber of
Commerce and are ready to act as eoon as
Informations are made. The collapse of
Irwin will cause much sufferlnK In every
section of the city. Hundreds of skilled
workmen have Invested their savings in
these pools and the smash leaves them in
very bad shape financially.

NEW YORK , Nov. 3. The Lcxow com
mittee has closed Its Investigations for the
time being , and no further attempts will
be made to probe the depths of the crimes
of New York until after election. An ad
journment has been taken until November
19 , when the labors of the committee will
bo resumed. The Interest In the Investi
gation continued undlmlnlshcd up to the
close. Just before the committee concluded
Its labors for the day Mr. Gofl was praised
for his energy nnd persistence In conducting
the examination , and with loud cheers for
that lawyer the crowd dispersed.
Mrs. Hermann resumed the witness chair
on opening today. At the outset she made
this voluntary statement : "I am not afraid
of Judge Hogan or Recorder Smythe. I nee
In the morning papers they deny what I
say , I can prove that what I cald Is true
and I can tell lots more. "
"Lots more ? " repeated Mr. Goff.
"They have threatened to Indict mo for
what I have said. I am not afraid of Judge
Hogan. "
Here the woman became Intensely excited
and pointing out Policeman Pcttcrman , who
sat near the railing , she shrieked : "You're
a thief. How date you sit there looking at
me so ? You took money from my sister. "
The witness half rose , and , trembling will
emotion , continued : "You are the man ;
ynu and another policeman , who ruined my
niece , who was once a good girl. The pollcs
ought to be ashamed ashamed. I can prove
It all. "
Tlio outbreak caused much excitement In
the court. When It had subsided Mr. Goff
asked Ihe witness : "Was Captain Ryan ,
who Is present In court , one of ten men who
met you at midnight and told you to leave
town ? "
"I don't know. The man who first came
to me said Captain Ryan had contributed to
the fund , "
"Now , Is there anything else you would
like to tell ? "
"Oh , Mr. Goff , It "would take me a weak to
tell everything. I was not going to say
much , but I am a French woman and quick
to get mad. Senator Daly In Jersey City
begged me not to come over here until after
election , saying the Lexow committee wou'd
be powerless then/
"There is a house In Hester street run
by a man named Burns , who Is a friend o :
Superintendent Byrnes. There Is a saloon
down stairs and girls upstairs , My slstei
told me she- was protected by the district at <
torney's office. "
PROFESSIONAL BONDSMAN FIXED IT ,
Then she told how Blumcnthal , the pro
fesslonal bondsman of the Fifteenth pre
cinct , took a $100 bill In a box of cigar
to Captain Haughey. She went to th
station house and waited outside.
"Blumenthal went Into Ihe captain's room
and when he came out she said he did no1
have the cigars or the $100.-
"Was the promise made you that yo ;
could open a disorderly house when th
Lexow committee stopped ? "
"Yes. "
"Did you pay Captain Haughey money ? "
"Yes , I took out J170 from the Manhatta
bank on the 8th of December , after Haughe :
had raided me , and paid It to a man name
Ranesky , a diamond broker of Fourteen !
street. He said I was to give him $51
apiece- for Detectives Sloano and Armstron
and $70 for Captain Haughey , I did so.
"Officer Zimmerman once told me that If
I did not employ Judge Stlncr he would
have me sent to state's prison. Once when
I was fined $25 Stlner wanted me to give
him $50 to pay the nn ? . Judge Hogan knows
myself and sister well. Judge Hogan knows
that when I went away a year ago to
Toronto that I had to pay to get back. "
"You can go now , Mrs. Hermann , but
consider yourself under subpoena. "
The woman stepped down and went out of
court.
A police headquarters cerk ! testified that
Captain O'Connor was in charge of the
Nineteenth precinct during the time In
which Mrs. Hermann eworo she was asked
for $2,000 $ by the wordmcn when she wanted
to open a house.
Before the committee took a recess Mr.
Qoff had upon the witness stand Richard
Kush , who had been under arrest charged
with procuring a criminal operation. The
offqrttas made to show that the prosecu
tion had been "fixed" through the police.
After recess , Dr. Newton Whltehead took
the stand. He Is the physician charged '
with having performed the criminal opera ,
tion. The witness said he had been ar
rested four times , once for sending Improper
llteiature through the mails and three times
for committing abortion , but the charges In
all the cases were dismissed when ho paid
money.
LAWYCR HAD A PULL.
He said Detective Sergeant Frlnk , who
arrested him , urged him to retain Lawyer
Friend , who , the officer said , had a "pull"
with the police and courts.
"When I was brought to the Jefferson Mar
ket police station Friend demanded ttJOO. I
offered him a check , but he wanted money.
While I was waiting for the Judge to ar
rive , Lawyer Friend asked me for $200 more.
I said , Tvo already given you $500. '
"Friend answered : 'Don't kick , doctor ,
about $200 more. I do not get all. I give
BO per cent to the police , that's how I get
my cases.1 "
Luwyer Friend was In court and appeared
uncomfortable.
" \Vo.l , " continued the witness , "Judge
Ryan discharged me , just as Friend said he
would. "
The doctor was arrested a second tlrno on
March 3 , 1894 , on a charge of giving In
formation to a woman which enabled her to
accomplish an abortion. The complainant
was Belah Jayno and Judge Koch Issued
the warrant. Frlnk said ho must again
employ Lawyer Friend. Friend wanted
? 325 and got It. Friend wanted $150 more. "
"What for ? " asked Senator Bradley. .
"Blood money , " said Whltehead , bitterly.
"Were you ever tried ? "
"Never. "
"There was a raid of all abortionists at
that time on warrants Issued by Judge
Koch. "
"Yes , It was a blackmailing scheme. The
charges against them were dropped and dis
missed. "
"On. April 7 I was arrested again , " he
continued. "Sergeant Frlnk came to my
house at midnight with a warrant. I gave
him $50 not to take me to a cell that night
Then I went to tee a well known lawyei
who told me to note every incident. "
"And that lawyer was me ? " asked Mr
Goff.
Goff."Yes
"Yes , lr. "

get people to awearto anything against me , si
I was forced to give the tergeant $200 ,
also gave Friend $700 , for which ho sale
ho would keep me from being tried. "
"But you were Indicted ? "
"Yes , but 1 have never been brought tote

Sergeant O'Toole was In court nnd White

"Did you pay any more money ? "
"Lou more. I paid a. lawyer named Got > !
lleb $590 by the advlco of my friend , wh ' <

against him if I did not buy him. "
The money was paid to Gottlieb and tbi

INDIANAPOLIS , Nov. 3 , The most dls
astroua nre that has occurred In this city
for several years broke out shortly after 3
o'clock this morning In the building owned
and occupied by. the Indianapolis Natural Qns
company at South Pennsylvania and Mary
land streets. The tenacity ot the flames ,
aggravated by the high winds , soon demon
strated the need of the entire tire depart
ment , and before 4 o'clock nearly a dozen
streams were directed at the burning build'
ing. The fire soon Jumped to the Indiana
Medical college and thence to the handsome
Scottish Rite building Immediately north
This last building was the largest of Its klni
in the country , and Its original cost was
$100,000. Recently $25,000 additional Im
provements had been made. By 4:15 : It was
evident that the three buildings Mould be
entirely destroyed and at 4:30 : the eras !
came , The walls of the Scottish Rite buildIng -
Ing fell In , carrying with them to destruc
tion documents of an Invaluable character
which can never be replaced , at any cost. By
5 o'clock the Qas company building , the
Medical college , which ' was a contiguous
part of the same , and the Scottish Rile
building were a smouldering pile of debris
A fireman named Samuel Mulr fell from the
third floor of the Scottish Rltci building and
was seriously Injured. Flre Chief Wcbate.
was also Injured on the arms by falling
bricks. '
The total loss will amount to a little eve :

of Ben Mcrrltt of Sawyer , Neb. , who was
found dead yesterday morning on the seat
of a rig In front of the barn where he had
secured the team the evening before , grows
deeper dally. The grief-stricken wife nr-

husband had taken hla team and left home
Wednesday on political business , as a can
didate for the legislature from Flllmcre

NEW YORK , Nov. 3. Practically the last
guns In the political campaign In this state
were fired today. Distinguished speakers
who have filled the air with eloquence for re
publican and democratic candidates ceased
their labors with tonight's demonstration
and made their way home to attend to their
own politics. From now until Tuesday next
the campaign takes on ft local air. The
chairmen of the two state committees have
their usual charges to their adherents , to
standflrm. Tlio republicans yesterday , the
democrats today and quiet has settled over
most of the political headquarter * In this
city.A .
A rlpplo of Interest was caused at the dem
ocratic headquarters this , afternoon by the
arrival of Speaker Crlsq , He spoke tonight
with Governor Flower at the democratic mass
meeting In Brooklyn. Other Important meet
Ings this afternoon were those of the commit
tee of Seventy at Music hull , the anti-Hill
mass meeting In Madison square and the
anti-Hill meeting In Cooper union. There
were a number of other meetings of minor
Importance and torchlight parades.
Hugh Grant today claimed 60.000 majority
for the Hill state ticket In this city , and
ns to his own prospects for the mayoralty ,
declared that ho never In any campalgr
felt more confident of victory than now.
At republican headquarters Chairman
Hacket today claimed Morton's election by
GO.OOO. More than 30,000 plurality Is claimed
for the Committee of Seventy ticket by
the leaders of the various organizations sup
porting It , despite the equally largo counter
claims given out by Tammany men at the
Grant headquarters and elsewhere. Charles
Sleekier of Hie Independent county organiza
tion , said today that he figured on Tam
many's majority at 41,000 below Fourtcentl
street last year being cut down to aboul
10,000 next Tuesday , and estimated tha
the seventy's ticket would have from 40,000
to 50,000 plurality.
There has been a good deal of betting
today at the ruling odds of 5 to 1 on Mor
ton for governor and 10 to 6 on Strong for
mayor.
Dennis A. Spellssey , a lawyer , has writ
ten a long letter to William It. Grace , re
signing from the state democracy , and an
nounclng hl& Intention to vote for Grant
Many other defections from the state ilemoc
racy were reported at the Grant headquar
ters , while the Grace people retorted by
giving out lists of democratic voters who
had repudiated Tammany.
OUT OF POLITICS.
Whore ToacliersViiut to 1'ut HID O filer of
County Miporlntcmlent.
There was quite an animated and Interest
Ing discussion In a convention of the county
teachers held In the court house today on
the subject : "Needed Changes In Our Schoo
Law , and How Will We Secure Them ? '
Some thought the change of time of balding
teachers' Institutes to the holidays the mos
Important , some the apportionment of publl
funds , others compulsory education.
W. D. Wood thought the elimination o
politics from the ofllco of county superln
ter.dcnt the most urgent. He said :
"Under the present law , In order to re
main in ofllco It seems necessary that super
Intendents use their offices principally n
focal points from which to send out ernls
sarles hubs , from which to radiate spokes
fofmlng wheels to ride to re-election. Thl
should not be. This office should bo a _
Independent of politics and as Impartial In
Its operations as possible.
"Conscientious superintendents , under th
existing law , lead a disagreeable life. The-
would welcome with delight a law malt In
It Impossible and therefore politically un
necessary to consider the many request
and expectations of charlatanlc obsequlou
teachers and their friends for special favor
In return for political service , or from fra
tornal considerations.
"That the duties pertaining to the offlc
of county superintendent may bo discharge
Impartially nnd with duo dignity , It Is nee
essary that superintendents be relieved o
the temptation to thus dabble In politics
This can be secured to them and the peopl
relieved of charlatanism , by establlshln
c ( unty boards of examiners , composed of tin
county superintendent , as president , and two
county teachers holding first flrado certifi
cates , one of whom to be of different politics
from the superintendent. Similar legislation
exists In many of our states. "

.WASHINGTON , Nov. 3 , The Japanese le

the Japanese government ,
"The first army under Marshal Yamagata
has taken possession of Kong-Fang-Tcheng.
The Chinese fled toward Matlc-Nung.
"Tho cecond army , under Marshal Oyama ,
are now attacking Kin-Chow , and both Ta
Len Wan and Port Arthur will soon be
taken. "
The Information , coming on1 the anniversary
of the emperor's birthday , IE giving much
satisfaction at the legation , The last BCII-
tence. to the effect that Tort Arthur wll
soon bo taken , seems to Indicate that the
dispatches last night that Port Arthur had
been captured were premature , As the press
dispatches frequently precede the ofilclal ad
vices , however , It Is regarded as possible
Port Arthur has In reality fallen , and that
the above dispatch was written before the
event occurred.
Kin-Chow and Ta-Len-Nnn are outworks
of Port Arthur'and their Investment Is a
pre-rcqulslto to taking the main works.
Fong-Fang-Tchcng , stated In the dispatches
to have been taken by the Japanese , Is said
at the legation to be a stronghold on the line
of march to Moukden. Its capture shows
how closely the Japs are drawing to the
