Many additional telegrams ot sympathj with the prisoners have been received at the United States embassy and Sccrctarj Olney has again cabled , confirming and em phasizing his first message. The chief ol pollco of San Francisco nnd the president of the Merchants' Exchange of that city , on behalf of the association , have wired their endorsement of the Integrity and hlgli standing of Mr. Castle , and the chief rabbi of California has cabled to the Hebrew coun scl here to defend the prisoners.

Thcso trunks are now at the Vine Street pollco station. Their con tents , which fill several pages cf a catalogue , nro valued at $2,500. In view of the developments of the last two days , the public prosecutor may be com pelled lo oppose the release of the prisoners on ball.

The prisoners were conductsO to the solicitors' room in the prison for an Interview. Mr. Castle showed signs ot the deepest depression and when ho started to fcpoak to Mr. Roosovclt broke down com pletely and cried like a child. Ho ex claimed : "Wo are both Innocent. I hope that my mother In San Francisco will not hear of this , as It wlll'klll her If she does' " Mr. Castle added In a somewhat calmer strain : "I wish to thank our American friends for their kindness and to ask them not to lose faith In our Integrity. " Mrs. Castle was Buffering from severe pains In the head nnd seemed to bo dazed In the presence of visitors. She Bald that she was unable to speak on account of a head ache. Previous to the arrest a physician had prescribed for her at the Hotel Cecil , when she was suffering from melancholia. Mr. Koosovelt , the secretary , says that ho left the prison today , convinced that if any man Is innocent Mr. Castle Is. Ho added that ho can only think his wife Is not In her right mind. Otherwise ho cannot explain why a. plated toast fork , marked Hotel Cecil , haa been found In her effects. Pollco Inspector Arrow , who has been placed In charge of the extraordinary case , Bays that numerous articles from the con tinent were found In the trunks of the Castles upon their arrest , Ho has com- .inunlcatcd with the foielgn pollco In nn ef fort to fix the identity of some of these ar ticles , but has not received any re sponse. Ho has. howcvcf , received numerous complaints from London merchants. Among the effects found In the trunk are many articles still bearing the private shop mark of the establishments from which they came , which it is the custom of the estab lishments , always to remove when the ar ticles have been purchased , and before they nro sent out. A complete list of the alleged stolen articles has not been niado ready. "When I first arrested Mr. and Mrs. Cas- ' tie , " Inspector Arrow continued , "I did them an Injustice by thinking I had caught two notorious thieves. Subsequent events have disproved this. I am sorry for the man , but I cannot account why ho did not know that thosQ goods Wcro In his wife's possession , Knowing the extent of his wealth , I have advised against the prisoners being admitted to ball.

D. , Oct. 9. ( Special. ) Information reaches hero that gray wolves have done .1 vast amount of damage on the lower Bad river range during the past sum mer. Prior to this season the ranchmen have had only the comparatively harmless little coyote to contend with , but now the largo buffalo wolf has como down upon them In largo numbers , and Is making havoc with the Bad river herds. While all kinds of stock are killed aud eaten by them , they show a decided preference for young colts as an article of diet. In securing their quarry they display wonderful sagacity and almost human Intelligence. Whenever a pack of wolves discover a band of horses feeding among the trees and uuderbiush along the river , they stalk them as skillfully as a hunter would stalk a deer , keeping well to the leeward , so that no telltale scent shall bo carried by the wind to the acute nostrils of the horses. Suddenly a wolf will spring from behind a clump of bushes , and with cno quick snap , hamstring an unsuspecting colt. Then the whole pack will rush In among the horses , which gallop away to the hills , leav ing the helpless colt to bo torn to pieces and devoured by the hungry brutes. The stocKmcn are up In arms against them , and a good many have been shot , trapped and lassoed , but nevertheless they appear to bo steadily Increasing In num hers. C. K. Howard , proprietor of the famous V-Cross ranch , has for years waged warfare against the four-footed foes. Whenever over a new man begins work on the ranch the first order ho receives Is : "Whenever you GCO a wolf , turn the cattle loose , and don't ( in It plying the quirt to your hess until you get him. " The gray wolf Is not remarkably fleet of foot , and a good horse can easily outrun him , so the cowboys have considerable sport running down and roping the wolves. On the beef round-up this fall they succeeded In killing a good many of the pests. _ HARVESTERS TURN IIIfiHWAYMK.V. Hold Effort of lliiiidlU Xenr Sioux riillx , S. 1) . SIOUX FALLS , S. D. , Oct. 9.

World' * Fair City Coiunirn orntcn ItH Second lllrth/ CHICAGO , Oct. 3. Four-jeans ago today the greatest parade the west had ever seen passed through the streets ot Chicago as a portion ot the celebration ot the dedication ot the buildings of the Columbia exposition. That parade was , however , surpassed today by the purely partisan march ot the men who uphold the gold standard Iti questions of Jflnanco. , and in politico. The OB.tlBartes * " ot fiiO"dlffcrcnt parties vary widely as to the number of men , but 75,000 Is Just halt way between the number claimed by the republicans and the count given out by the national commltteo headquarters ot the democratic party. The arrangements were perfect and they word carried out to the letter. After 9 o'clock In the morning not a single car , not a single wagon , save those carrying the United States mall and pollco ambulances , were allowed lo cross the west and north sides , and all those coming from the south wcio turned back at Van Buren street. Every street between Van Burcn on the south , the river on the north , the lake on the cast and the rlvor on the west was absolutely free from all Impediments. Eighteen hundred policemen lined the route of the parade and the Immense throng that packed the walks was kept firmly back to the curb. General Joseph Stockton , the marshal of the parade , had announced that at 10 o'clock the march would begin , no matter who was ready or who was lato. Thtro was no delay , however , and at exactly 10 o'clock the ad vance guard of 150 policemen swung around the corner of Van Burcn Stieet nnd Michi gan avcnuo and the parade vas on. For flvo hours It swept the streets from curb to curb , well closed up nnd rnarclimg rapidly. The day was all that could be desired , A crisp wind blew oft Lake Michigan , In Just suffi cient force to keep the thousands of flags In the parade and the tens ot thousands 'that ' hung from the buildings along the line of march In a lively flutter and the sun came down with Just sufficient heat to make It comfortable for the men \ \ ho tramped the pavements. The reviewing stand for the re publican national commltteo was erected on Jackson street. Hero Mark , Hanna , Senator Cullom and various members of the com mittee took their stand to review Uie pa rado. It was exactly 11 o'clock when the band at the head of the parade turned into Jackson street for the march past the slam and at the same Instant Mr. Hanna steppec from the window of the club house upon tin stand. From that moment until a few moments after 4 o'clock , Mr.'Hanna , with th exception of ono brief Infernal , was standing with hat in hand , bowing his acknowledg ments of the cheers of the marching column PALMER WATCHES TOO. From a stand erected on a 'Jovel with the entrance of the Palmer house , General John M. Palmer and General Huckner reviewed Ihe parade. The two white-haired veterans , as they stood side by.slde w lth their heads bared , were recognized by' the marchers and were conEtantlyychoere i As the col umn came up thousands ot , bats came of ! In homage to the venerable jnen and all through the hours the parrjpo required to pass that point the cheerlnj' ; > was constant The gold standard clubs of "Uio great down town business house's were ; especially en thusiastic as they passed.

Across Washlhgton'Streel , In front of the telephone exchange , "yma stretched a banner bearjng the inscription "Your Cheers Will Be Heard ThroughbutMho Nation. " If they were not , it was no.fault of the men In the street. In many places along the route great "mouthplcce3'ttffixed above the street by numbers of guyj ropes , concen trated the sound wnvea upon the diaphragms and sent the cheers to every waiting ear. Many smaller "mouthpieces , " which are really funnels flvo feet long ; were attached lo long distance 'phones at various altitudes. These helped to swell the noise in distant receivers. Major MeKlnloy , in his library at Canton , heard it , and Mr ; Hobart , In his home at Patcrson , N. J. , also received the assurances of the shouts.1' The crowd that wltncsse'd- parade was tremendous. It filled every sidewalk , from the building to the curbElone , and every window and nearly every roof that pos sessed a view of the march was Jammed full of heads , and the many-Islands erected for spectators were filled to the limit. All the trains from out of the city -were loaded down with excursionists , and the depot masters estimated that between fi/a. m. and noon , Cl.OOOpeople came In Jbjrpugh the union depot alono.

Thcso arc the men representing the veterans of Virginia , who are willing to ally them selves with the republican party , and are doing all thpy can for the success of thatf party in the coming election. Ono of the > bjccts that wo hoped to attain was this , hat by the speeches that would bo made n your presence and by your gracious re sponse wo wish to assure our friends InV ho south , some of our associates who ara icsltatlng even now , that wo have not been , required to make any self-debasement In the republican party , and that the men who doubted your rights to represent that cause are In error. Wo want to assure you that taught shall bo said which shall klndlo anew the fires of prejudice and hate that lave now fallen Into dead nnd lifeless ashes ; and not ono word shall bo said that shall ; lvo offense on cither side. God forbid that ho day shall over come again when the > lood from ono brother shall cry out from tbo cround against another. " BANNER AS A SOUVENIR.
