LONDON , Oct. 0. It la not thought prob.
able that ball for Mr. and Mrs , Walter M
Castle of San Francisco , who were rcmandei
to Holloway Jail on Tuesday last , charged
with stealing furs from dealers in this city
. will bo applied for before the case comes
up again at Marlborough Street police court
on Tuesday next for fear of prejudicing the
ease. The Castles , therefore , will -remain
In Jail until they appear In court on Octobci
33. 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.
Colonel McFarland of the Sprcckels com
pany , came here from Liverpool to do every
thing possible for Mr. nnd Mrs. Castle. He
called at the United States embassy and
will assist nt the meeting of counsel to be
held this evening In order to discuss the
question of making an application for ball
The Castles , In view of the atrango features
of the case , are treated with every consid
eration In Holloway Jail. They wear their
own clothes , provide their own food and
are living In decent rooms. The secretarj
of the United States embassy , James K
Itoosevclt , made a call at the Homo office
this morning and will go to Holloway Jdlt
this afternoon provided with a letter from
the authorities to the governor of the Jail
The prison doctor haa been Instructed to
furnish a special report of tho-condition o !
the health of Mrs. Castle. Permission has
also been granted to enable any doctor
selected by the friends ot the Castles to
make a special report on her health. The
case has now been taken up by the Treasury
department and the public prosecutor and the
pollco are making Inquiries of West Em
stores In order to find owners of a number ol
articles , furs , silver , etc. , which were found
In Mrs. Castle's trunks nt the Hotel Cecil ,
oil packed and labeled for the steamer leav
ing last Tuesday. 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.
Startling evidence , the Associated press
hears , will be offered by the pollco when
the case against the Castles' is called on
Tuesday , and It is now practically certain
that the public prosecutor will oppose the
release of cither ot the prisoners on ball ,
Mr. Roosevelt , the first secretary of the
United States embassy herd , In his Inter
view later In the day with Mrs. and Mr.
Casllo at Halloway Jail ; was accompanied by
Mr. Hodson. 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. "
WASHINGTON. Oct. 9 , In the case of the
Castles , the Americans arrested "In London
on n charge of shoplifting. Secretary Olnoy
has received a dispatch from Ambassador
Uayard to the effect that all possible as
sistance Is being rendered the accused , tor
whom eminent counsel has been engaged.

RANCHME.V ICILMXO CJRAY WOLVES
I'extH Doliiir n. Viixt Amount of Diim-
IIKC on llnil Hirer.
CHAMBHRLAIN , S. 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. _

DRA1NARD , Neb. , Oct. 3. ( Special Tele
gram. ) The Dank of Bratnard was the
victim last night of the gang ot burglars
and safe crackers that seems to be operating
so extensively In Nebraska In the past fc\\
days. At about 1 o'clock this inorning
Cashier A. K. Smith , who occupies room
dlroctly across the street from the Dank o
Ilralnard , was awakened by the sound of i
muffled explosion. The sound seemed t
come from the bank , but upon looking cm
of the window the cashier could see nothing
unusual In the appearance of the bank build
ing.
Feeling that something was wrong , Cashlo
Smith hurried Into his clothes , took hi
revolver , and started to Investigate. As h
reached the street two men darted out o
the front door of the bank. Smith at one
opened flro upon them and emptied his re
volvcr , uono of the. shots , however , taklni
effect. The fugitives disappeared up a darl
alley and made good their escape.
Calling assistance Mr. Smith entered the
bank. The dcors of the safe had been blown
out and tlio bank counters were badly
wrecked. The caih was contained In a stee
proof box In the Interior of the safe , whlcl
had not been affected by the first explosion
It Is believed that the burglars became
frightened before they could explode a secom
charge of dynamite.
The bank lo t no money by the raid , but
the safe and building were damaged to the
extent of about $500.

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. There were 111
floats In the parade , many ijt them exceed
ingly handsome and all lavishly' 'decorated.
A string of carriages bcat2ug'tho ; white-

A unique fcaturo of thoj > r4da was -the
use made of the long distance telcphqijc
to carry the sound of checfdLthat rose strain
the parade tcf the other iJ rpe cltlcs. of the
country. 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. The total ptlmbcr of people
who saw the parade , baseiKupon the state
ment of railroads and str < [ ej car companies ,
regarding the fares collopted , was EOO.OOO.
Considering the size of itho ; crowd there
were very few accidents , gj * '
SILVER MEN HAVE THE NIGHT.
Thi > democracy held possession of the
streets , tonight and H irfprovcd Its oppor
tunity to the utmost. As e4rly as C o'clock ,
within an hour after Michigan avenue had
cleared up after the marching republicans ,
the leading organlzations''of the democratic
party began to appear fprJHhelr torchlight
dPinonstratlon. They poured in rapidly and
by 7 o'clock the streets 'were paced again.
A high wind arose In the course ot the evenIng -
Ing and made It a mattefjpf some difficulty
to keep torches and transparencies alight.
The parade marched do * Market street ,
Jackton street , Mlchlgari itvenuo and Six
teenth street to TattersalPfi- , whore the sil
ver meeting was In progress. At this point
It disbanded , The cold rjvlnd and the
fatigues of the early naf { of the day had
Its effect on the number of spectators and
the night parade was not vltnessed by the
largo crowds of the morning and afternoon.

has been discovered In the accounts of lr
A. d. Patterson , ono of tlio start physicians

pacity that the discrepancy has boon dis
covered.
Dr. Godding today frankly acknowledged
that there was such a deficit , but he- added
that the amount had been made good anil
the government will not lose a cent In the
matter. "There la not and has not been , " ho
added , "any discrepancy In my otllclal ac
counts with the government. " The money
which was missing was part of a trust fund ,
belonging to patients at the hospital depos
ited with rae aud for which ! I am agent. Of
course I am Just as responsible for this
fund as I nm for the government appropria
tions , but the accounts fop disbursement ol
the money did not go through the satno
official char nels as the government accounts.
"Consequently the matter Is a personal one
between mo and my confidential clerk. It
has been adjusted to my satisfaction and
the goveniicent Is not connected with It ,
so far as any financial loss Is concerned.
My accounts aru all correct and arc , of
course , open to ofilclal examination or In
vestigation. "
Dr. Godding added that Dr. Patterson has
been In 111 health for several months and
hasjjeen absent from the city nearly all the
summer on sick leave and Is still absent.
It was whllo ho was away that the discrep
ancy was discovered.

CANTON , Oct. 9. Bright sunshine lent
Its cheering presence again today to the
enthusiastic delegations. After weeks of
rain , this added greatly to the beauty of the
day's doings.
Two notable and unprecedented featurna
In presidential campaigns distinguished
this eventful day. Ono was the call of the
confederate veterans of the Shcnandoah
valley from Virginia on the republican pres
idential nomlneo who carried a musket as
a federal private , and another was the
listening to the business men's anil trades
demonstration In Chicago by Major McKln
ley at his homo In Cnnton. Whllo the Mc
Klnley household was at breakfast thla
morning Local Manager Hoffman of the
Central Union Telephone company placed
two groups of half a dozen each of telephone )
ear trumpets , six In the major's library and
n llko number In Mrs. McKlnloy'H sitting-
room. Thcso were connected with a long
distance telephone wire from Chicago , whcro
receivers were located along the line of the
parade. Major and Mrs. McKlnlcy's friends
wcru invited to hear the sounds ot enthusi
asm from Chicago , which was made some
what dlnicult by the constant cheering about
the houso. The household was notified from
Chicago nt 10:50 : to bo in readiness to como
and hear joyful sounds at Chicago. At
10C2 : Major McKlnley was called to the tel
ephone and an Associated press man listened
at ono of the trumpets. Maja.McKlnloy
showed great pleasure at the volume ot en
thusiastic sounds that reached him over the
400 miles of wire. The music of the bands
and the cheering of the crowds was very
plainly heard and ono could scarcely com
prehend the Intervening distance. The East
Tennessee delegation was cheering about
the house at-the same lime.
BLUE AND GRAY TOGETHER.
Of all the enthusiastic demonstrations
since the St. Louis convention , Cnnton has
never seen the like of today. The "rebel
yell" was heard for the first tlmo on her
streets. The visit of the old confederate
warriors from the Shenandoah valley brought
thousands of people to town. The 1,800
Virginians were expected early in the morn-
Ing. Dclnj's kept them on the road unlit
4:30. : Then they were met by the union
veterans of Canton , several hundred strong.
They came with badges inscribed , "No North ,
No South , No East , No West ; the Union
Forover. " Arm in arm with old boys in
blue , the veterans in gray were escorted
to the tabernacle , where the Grand Army
of the Republic and Woman's Relief corps
served the dinner. They had. a new version
of an old song , and sang. "Wo Are Coming ,
Father McKIuley , Two , Hundred Thousand ,
Strong. "
From the tabernacle to the1 McKlnloy hofflo
the streets wore lined with expectant pee
ple. The hundred Cleveland veterans joined.
In the escort. The bands played "Dixie , "
"America" nnd "Marching Through Geor
gia. " The throngs of people o'n the way
Joined with the yell1) of the marchers as
jest they could. Major McKluloy spoke from
a small temporary reviewing stand , covered ,
with the national colors. General John E.
Roller gpoke on behalf ofthe soldiers , la
part as follows :
Major McKlnlcy , I have the honor to
present to you nearly 1,000 of the confcd-
; rate veterans of the far-famed valley of
the Shennndoah , and behind them a vast I
assemblage of their kinsmen and those who
lave coma with them as an escort of honor.
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.
After Major McKlnloy had responded to
hc.so nddressea , ox-Mayor II. A. Cassldy of
Canton presented to the visitors n mag
nificent banner by which to remember their
visit here. Upon ono side Is represented
