A SOUND MONEY RALLY
Eeed Addresses Many Thous
and Maine ..Republicans.
DEMOCRATIC RULE " DENOUNCED
Causes of Present Industrial Depression
Clearly Set Forth TheBx-Bpeaker
Well Beceled. ,
Old . Orchard, Me., Aug. 25. The
Republicans of Maine, according to cus
tom, held a grand rally here this after
noon, at which were gathered thousands
from all over "the state, as well as from
other parts of New England. Among
the speakers were Hon. Thomas B. Reed
and Hon. Lee Fairchild.
Mr. Reed's appearance was the signal
for a wild demonstration from the en
thusiastic crowd which lasted for several
- minutes. At its close Mr. Reed thanked
the people for the flattering reception
tendered him, and then proceeded with
his discussion of the political issues of
the day.
In conclusion Mr. Reed said : , .
"These financial matters are governed
by natural laws and take their course
like the rolling of the round earth or the
slitter of the stars. Suppose a man was
created full grown and set upon a soli'
tarv earth facing the dawn. As the
panorama of sunrise, the march of the
fountain of light across the sky, the red
sunset and the black darkness came
over him, what could he make of this
termination of this gorgeous pageantry
of the skies? Nothing but darkness
' desolation-and death and a wild calling
on the unknown God to help. Bat the
, man who has from earliest boyhood seen
the sun disappear into its bed to peep
" up another day, may be ignorant
-Kepler's law and of Galileo's faith, but
he knows no greater certainty on earth
than that the day follows night.
. "A man who has only seen 1893 might
well wonder and call for rescue, but we
who have seen 1873 and have read of
1825 and 1851 in England and 1837 in
America, know that we shall as as
Buredly rise again io business and pros
perity as that the sun shall rise.
Be not deceived by a false -prophet,
In the West thev tell the people that
Maine is faltering. You and I know
she never was so steadfast. Here in the
EaBt they tell us the West Is blazing
with silver crosses and is crowned with
silver thorns, but when the tug of battle
comes the gallant West, peopled by our
children, will show to the world that
brothers true and tried whohave fought
so many fights, shoulder to shoulder in
the great conflict of human progress, will
never be separated irotn each ether or
from that great party round which clust
ered all the glories of the moBtillnstrionV
years of this country's history."
HOKE SMITH'S FX. ASS.
Will afake a Few Campaign Speeches
In Georgia.
Washington, August 25. Secretary
Smith said today:
"I will retire from office September 1
It is my purpose to return to Atlanta at
once. My resignation was due alone to
the fact that I intend to support Bryan
and Sewall. I have always voted the
regular Democratic ticket, and shall
make no exception this year. It is my
. purpose to devote my time to the prac
tice of law and my private business.
have, however, signified my willingness
to make two or three speeches in Georgia
for the Btate and national ticket, but my
. professional and private business will
not permit me to enter actively into the
campaign outside my own state." '
Governor Francis, Secretary Smith's
successor, will reach Washington some
time before Tuesday.
FUSION IK MISSOTJKI."
Democratlc Committee Trying; Bard to
. Unite Silver Forces.
St. - Louis, Aug. . 25. The EepubHc
(Dem.) says : . ; ' , .
"Fusion in the doubtful counties is to
be made the order of the day by Demo
crats of this state. It is the intention of
the state committee to bring about a
anion of Democrats, free-silver Repub
licans and Populists in every county
' where the Republicans cannot be other
' wise routed. . :,
, ' ' ' "There are twenty-three-counties con
sidered reliably Republican. 1 Figuring
. has shown that out of these eight coun
ties could be certainly carried by fusion
of the elements opposed to Republican
-. rule, and four could be ' carried with a
better organization than the Democrats
had in 1892. If fusion-is brought about
in the Republican counties, as ' it bids
, fair to be, the Republicans will not be
able to carry half of them, and there will
not be the slightest chance of the legis- j
lature being captured by them.,
"The election of a United States sen
ator to succeed Vest comes up this ses
sion, and a harder'fight is going to be
made than has characterized any cam
paign in recent years. Fusion means
that under no circumstances can the
Republicans elect a majority of the legis
lature, and it meana the re-election of
Senator Vest and the blasting of the
hopes of Chauncey I. Filley, the Repub
lican leader, who is understood to aspire'
to the place."
t
Appeal to Bimetallic Union.
Chicago, Aug. 2o. An address was
issued today to the "friends of bimetal-
ism in the United States," signed'by A,
J. Warner, president of the American
Bimetallic Union, and George E. Bowen,
secretary. After declaring the import
ance of the silver question, in the pres
ent campaign, the address says :'
"The contest is now 'on, and it can
only be settled at the polls. To the end
that the decision may be right the
American Bimetallic Union strongly
urges the formation of silver clubs and
leagues in every state, county, city,"
town and school district in the Union.
To all interested in the cause we say,
'organize and we will assist you to the
best of our ability.' Our means are
limited and the wealth of the country is
arrayed almost solidly against us, but
we will aid in the work of organization
and education to the utmost of our
ability. Such- literature as can be fur
nished free we will provide gratuitously
and that which necessarily involves ex
pense will be sent at cost. In every
legitimate way we will assist in the dis
seminating of correct information upon
this subject, the correct solution of
which means so much to the people of
our common country."
Whitney Vanderbllt.
Newport, R. I., Aug. 25. The wed
ding Of Miss Gertrude Vanderbllt, tbe
eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Corne
lius Vanderbilt, to, Mr. Harry Payne
Whitney, tbe eldest son of former Sec
retary of the Navy W. C. Whitney, took
place at noon today at "The Breakers,"
the Vanderbilt summer residence. The
wedding was in a way a disappointment
to society here, owing to its simplicity,
Mr. Vanderbilt's physicians thinking it
unwise for him to undergo anything but
the quietest ceremony, therefore out'
side the immediate ' bridal party, onlv
about 50 persons were present.
The legal marriage ceremony 'was per
formed by Rev. George F. Magill, D. D.,
rector of 'Trinity church, of which Mr
Vanderbilt is a member. Bishop Potter
delivered the benediction. The bride
and her attendants assembled in the up
per hall and proceeded down the grand
stairway. The bride entered the room
on the arm of Mr. Chauncey M. Depew
and proceeded to the priedieu, where
she Was met by tbe groom. Miss Van
derbilt was given away by her father,
who was wheeled into the room in a re
dining chair.
- ' The Ke of Battle at Boise
Boise, Idaho, Aug. 25. The two fac
tions of the Republicans will meet in
separate conventions here tomorrow.
The spirit seems to be irremedial. Each
side will name a full state ticket if the
programme is carried out. The silver
men will indorse the Bryan electors
named by Democrats and the McKinley
men will put up a straight McKinley
electoral ticket. Senators .Dubois and
Shoup are here leading their respective
sides of the fight.

tember 19th, and continue one month

BIG BUSINESS FAILURE
Hilton,
Hughes & Co. Have
Assigned.
WAS A GREAT NEW YORK HOUSE
This Firm Was the Successor of the
Formerly Great A. T. Stewart
& Company.
New VoBKj Aug. 26. Hilton, Hughes
& Company (once A. T. Stewart & Com
pany) have made assignment to G. M.
Wright. Figures are not yet obtainable
The assignment is without preferences.
Elihu Root is attorney for the assignees.
Among the banks the failure is re-
carded as due to the gradual decline of
business. The firm's credit for the last
five veara has been badlv iamaired: It
is understood that little of the firm's
single name paper is out. The firm has
been selling stock for several weeks past,
and recently was understood to have re-
ceived about $750,000, which has been
reducintt liabilities. It is reported
Siegel, Cooper & Company will take
over the stock of Hilton, Hughes &
Company. '
The assignment was make by Albert
G. Hilton, who comprises the firm. No
statement has yet been made as to the
liabilities and assets. All the windows
show drawn blinds in the big building,
taking in the whole block surrounded by
Ninth and Tenth' streets, Fourth avenue
and Broadway. After the close of busii
ness last night there was a conference
between Hilton and the managers of the
various departments. The books were
gone over carefully, and the exact status
of the firm presented. The conference
lasted until late, and early this morning
a decision was reached that the house
must close.
"The following notice was posted :
"All employes are notified that their
services are no longer required, and that
they wilLbe paid In mil to and including
this day. ThcBtore will be closed until
further notice." ' (Signed), Hilton,
Hughes & Company, Geo. M. Wright,
assignee. .
There were grave faces among tbe
former employes. Many said it was no
surprise to them. Wright was not at
the office when the reporters called. In
his absence the clerk answered ques'
tions. '
"The trouble wa9 caused by the strin'
gency in the money market, be said
It was found that in justice to credi
tors this was the best way of liquidating
the affairs of the' firm. A statement will
be issued later in the day."
The following statement, prepared by
Assignee George M. Wright, was given
out later :
"Parties in' interest became satisfied
that the business was' not making a
profit. It was therefore determined to
close. It was at first supposed this could
be done by a closing-out eale without a
general assignment. With this end in
view, Judge Hilton, within the last
month, advanced $250,000 to the firm to
pay on account ot merchandise claims.
He has' during the last few years ad'
vauced very large sums. He would have
been willing to advance enough to pay
all unsecured claims, but in the present
stringency it is more than inconvenient
to raise that amount at once, though the
amount is not more than $600,000. The
difficulties every merchant and banker
knows. As tbe claims were pressing
there seemed to be no other way but to
close the business, with equal justice to
all creditors and preserve the property
from sacrifice, but by a general assign
merit without preference." . '
It is beiieved all merchandise and gen
eral debts can be paid in full out of the
sale of the stock and the collection of
out-standing accounts. The bank paper
is secured, and . 'will, of course, all be
paid. Negotiations are pending for the
sale of the whole stock, which, if carried
through, will result in the settlement of
the debts in a very short time. Manley
M. Gillam, general manager of the con
cern, stated that it was his opinion the
great Broadway dry,' goods house had
closed itB doors for good. ...
1 Black for Governor ol New York. '
Sabatoga, Aug. 26. The Republican
convention met at 11 :45. Mr. Sheard,
of Herkeimer, answered Warner Miller's
speech of last evening. He denied that
there had been any. fraud in the pri
maries. Balloting for governor was then
resumed. Congressman Frank S. Black,
of Troy, was nominated for governor on
the second ballot. '
. Alter it was found that Black was
nominated, Aldridge's name was with
drawn and Black's nomination was
made unanimous. . Timothy L. Wood
ruff,, of Brooklyn, was nominated lieu-
tenant governor on the first ballot. The
secretary was directed to cast the vote of
the convention for Irving G. Vann, of
Syracuse, for associate judge of the court
of appeals. The convention adjourned
sine die. ' -
TIRELESS MB. BRYAN.
Ha Again Parsnes His Voluble Way
Was np Over Hair the Night.
Syracuse, N. Y., Aug. 26. W. J. Bry
an took up campaigning todav almost
before the Bun was up. After a few
hours' rest following the Utica meetine
which did not end until half past' mid
night, and after a hurried breakfast he
and Mrs, Bryan boarded a local passen
ger train, which . left Utica at 7;15.
There was no parlor car, and they took
seats in the common coach, where the
passengers crowded about them for hand
shakes and autographs.
Bryan had ltttle to say about the din
ner with Senator Hill, which was un
doubtedly one of the important events
01 h8 New York tour. "It was purely
ft social affair," he said, although the
absence of Hill from the political meet
ln8 wnieh followed the dinner was com
men ted npon. A remark made by Bry
m Albany speech, that the support
of those Democrats who did not indorse
every plank in the platform was expect-
e was commented nnoq as significant
mere is a general impression among
those with tbe candidate that he re'
ceived assurance that Hill will declare
for the ticket.
At Rome 300 people requested a speech
Bryan said : '
"I do not suppose tbe train will stop
long enough for me to say anything to
you, but I imagine from what I can see
that you are not afraid of being ' over
whelmed with a flood of money. ' Some
of your opponents tell us if we have so
much money we won'tinow what to do
with it. Then again they tell ns tbe gold
in the country would go out of circula
tion and we should not be able to coin
enough Bilver for our use. It rather
amuses me that they expect the people
to believe thid, because there are lots of
towns in this country that would not ob
ject to locating mints in their midst
We do not believe the free coinage cf
silver will do it. -We believe the - free
coinage of silver would bring gold to this
country and that too, without the aid of
syndicates."
Aid for the Cubans.
Philadelphia, Aug." 56. According
to two cablegrams received in this city,
tbe Bteamer Laurada, which Bailed from
this port for Cuba, August 6, landed one
of the most formidable filibustering ex
peditions yet shipped, to Cuba, then
sailed to Port Antonla Jamaica. The
Laurada landed 200 men and an im
mense cargo on tbe southern coast of
Cuba, Santa Clara province. The cargo
consisted of 53,000 pounds of dynamite,
11 field guns, four cannon, seven gatliogs.
and a quantity of ammunition. -
Weyler's lecompetency.
London, Aug. 26. The Post in an edl
torial commenting upon the situation in
Cuba says:
"Captain-General Weyler appears to
have no better conception of the means
necessary to suppress Cuban rebellion
than had General Campos.. Probably
Cuba will prove the grave of his repnta
tion also. Despite the noisy American
sympathy, it is very doubtful whether
serious-minded Americans desire the
annexation of Cuba. America has
race question of her own to solve, and it
can scarcely be believed that she is
thirsting for another problem in which
the blacks may be involved."
More Plantations Destroyed.
Havana, Aug. 26. It is reported that
the insurgents recently burned over 30
coffee and cocoa plantations in the prov
ince of Santiago de Cuba. Among the
larger plantations burned were the splen
did eatateB of Aurora, Sempalia and Do
lorita. It is estimated that more than a
million dollais' worth of property was
destroyed. These estates were owned
by French citizens, who were not eym pa
thizers with the insurgents, but who
have remained neutral from tbe com
mencement of the trouble in Cuba.
A Murderer and a Suicide.
Lowell, Mich., August 25. Charles
Church, junior member of the private
banking-house of C. J. Church & Co.,
shot and fatally wonnded his wife and
then committed suicide this morning.
The bank . closed yesterday for the al
leged reason that it was unable to realize
upon its assets.

A PALACE BOMBARDED
British Fleet Opens Fire on
Zanzibar. ,
THE USURPER . FORCED TO FLEE
His Stronghold Wrecked and Many Per-
sons Killed English Admiral
-Now Holds the Town.
Zanzibar, Aug-. 27. The palace of the
sultan of Zanzibar was bombarded this
morning, and at noon was a mass of
blazing ruins. The usurping chieftain,
Seyyid Khalid, and the commander of
bis forces. . Seyyid Sales, escaped to the
German consulate, where they - remain
under the protection of the German flag,
By 8 a. m. today over a hundred Brit
ish subjects and some other foreigners
bad embarked on the warships, the
Italians going on board the Italian gun
boat Volturno and the Germans seeking
safety at German consulate. A naval
officer was sent to the palace square with
another message for Seyyid Kbalid, ask
ing him if he was prepared to surrender,
and again notifying him that tbe palace
would be shelled at 9 o'clock promptly
if he failed to haul down tbe flag. Sey
via replied that lie would die sooner
than srrrender. His answer was con
veyed to Admiral Rawsoo.
At 9 o'clock the flagship signaled the
Raccoon, Thrush and Sparrow to com
mence firing. A moment later the
cruiser and two gun boats opened fire
with their heaviest guns. Ten minutes
later they had sent a storm of shell and
shot into the palace, tearing big gaps in
it, scattering death and confusion among
its defenders, while dismounting some
guns aBhore and putting to flight the
gunners handling the pieces. The fire
of tbe warships was admirably directed.
smoite was soon seen issuing irom sev
eral parts of the palace.
During this time the St. George and
tbe Philotnene were held in reserve, al
though they occasionally plumped a shot
into the enemy's camp, adding to the
dismay of its defenders. The Racoon,
Thrush and Sparrow kept up the bom
bardment until 9:50, when the palace
was tumbling in ruins and large rents
bad been made in the barricade of the
sultan's followers, who answered tbe
fire of the warships with persistency and
gallantry, and did net stop firing until
in response to flagship's signal of "cease
firing," tbe guns of tbe warships stopped
showering shot and shell ashore.
The losses of tbe enemy are not known,
but most have been heavy, especially
among the defenders of the palace proper.
During the bombardment the sultan's
armed steamer Glasgow opened fire on
tbe British warships. A few well-aimed
shells from the heavy guns of tbe Rac
coon and a shot or two from tbe four-
inch guns of the Sparrow croBhed
through and through ber, silencing her
fire in short order. Ultimately she sank
at her moorings. Soon after the palace
caught fire and tbe walls and roof were
sent flying here and there by shells.
Seyyid Khalid and Seyyid Sales, com
mander of the usurping sultan's army,
escaped with some of their followers
through the back part of tbe palace, and
hurried to the German consulate, where
protection was accorded them. The
usurper fled inland.
A Story of Stage Life.
New Yoke, Aug. 27. Among the mer
ry-hearted soubrette swho amused tbe
public at one of the Coney Island resorts
yesterday was Mrs. . Millie Azevedo.
Just before she went on the stage she re
ceived a telegram from the Spanish con
aul in New York, announcing with of
ficial brevity that her husband, Ray
mond Azevedo, had been shot and killed
Cuba, but when and where and
whether by revolutionists or royal troops
the dispatch did not state.
Mrs. Azevedo said her husband was a
mine operator, 37 years old. He was a
Cuban, but when she met him in San
Francisco a year and a half ago he had
been in' business - there for several
months. . She was living in the same
city with her parents, her maiden name
being Heim. After a -courtship of two
months they were married. Business
called Mr. Azevedo East, and his wife
came with him. In November be was
summoned to the Azores. He left his
wile well provided for, and said he would
return in less than four months. Since
then Mrs. Azevedo said she had received
no word from him. Her funds giving
out and having a good voice, she went on
the stage to support herself.

shed and rioting occurred there last
night. Several hundred ' Armenians
were killed, and at the time tbe cable
was sent today tbe minister states that
all the bouses in tbe city were closed.
Dynamite bombs were exploded in tbe
streets last night' by Armenians, and .
about 10 Turkish soldiers . were killed.
The revolutionists were placed on board
a Bteamer and conveyed to a foreign port.
WILL TELL THEUC OF IT.
Popnlists are to Notify Bryan and Wat
son Together.
Cleveland, Aug. 27. The fact that
George A. Groot, of this city, has pre- .
pared n notification speech to be de
livered at Lincoln, Neb., September 8,.
has given rise to the rumor that Bryan
would be formally notified of his nomi
nation by the Populists.
.Groot said today :
"I don't know anything about the ar
rangements of the Populist executive
committee. I am chairman ot tbe noti
fication committee appointed by the sil
ver party. We shall formally notify
Bryan and Watson on September 8.
Senator Teller and Congressman Towns
will speak. - It is probable that tbe sil
ver party will dissolve after November.
Found Dead Near Astoria.
An Astoria dispatch says John fiven-
son, a fisherman, was found dead at
Clifton yesterday, with a bullet wound
in bis breaBt. At first it was thought
Svenson committed suicide, but Coro
ner Pohl's investigation now makes it
appear that it was a case of murder in
stead. Sveuson was the keeper of the
scow from which a woman and two men,
whose dead bodies were afterward found,
disappeared during tbe fishermen's
strike, a few months ago. .It is surmised
that Svenson knew something of the '
murderers of these people, and, under
the stimulus of tbe reward offered by
tbe county court, was about to make
some damaging disclosures, and hence
his taking off;
No appetite? Then do not try to force
food down; but use the most scientific;
means for restoring tone to tbe stomach.
How? Why, by taking 'Ayer's Sarsap
arilla, and in a surprisingly short time,
your appetite will come again, and come
to stay.
