FALSE CAMPAIGN STATEMENTS
Story that Marshall Field. Phil Armour,
Lyman Gage and Other. Bad
Flopped to Free Sliver.
Castoji, Oct. 27. The first delegation
today to be presented to McKinley. was
a party of 52 ladies who arrived in a
special car from Martin's Ferry, O., at
noon. They wore large ribbons upon
which was inscribed, "McKinley and
sound momey." The ladies marched to
the McKinley residence at the head of
the Maryland and Weet Virginia delega
tion, which arrived at the same time in
a train of 15 coaches.
The women were introduced by Harry
Pratt, the delegation from West Virginia
and Maryland by E. H. Sincell, of Pied
mont, W. Va. Later delegations accom
pained by two bands, made a highly en
thusiastic demonstration.
Before the first crowd was out of the
yard three other delegations in one body
were in the Btreet waiting for their tnrn.
These were from Cleveland, and com
posed of employes of the Upson Nutt
Company, La id son & Sessions Company
Beck, Stowe & Wilcox, Kirk's band, of
Cleveland, and a Grand Army band, of
Canton, played the "Star Spangled Ban
ner," while the crowd greeted McKinley
with cheers. The delegation was large
bavins: used two special trains. Will
iam McKenzie, a workman, made the in
troductory address.
The employes of the Junction Iron
Steel Company, of Mingo Junction, with
their wivPB and friends, in nnmber suf
ficient to fill a special train, headed by
the Grand Army of the Republic band
arrived jast after the Clevelanders, and
waited their turn. They were intro-
duced by Captain N. J. Quahrhart,
member of the company. A reviewing
Btand had been erected on the front of
the lawn. Three delegations are an
nounced to arrive this afternoon, most
important of which is the "Sound
Money" club of New England.
Popocrativ Falsehoods.
Chicago, Oct. 27. Special to The
Chronicle. Every day brings its new
set of falsehoods to influence voters to
support the Popocratic ticket. The
latest was a statement put into circula
tion yesterday to the effect that Mar
shall Field, Phil Armour, Lyman J.
Gage, and several other ' distinguished
business men of Chicago had declared
for free silver - The report offered as an
explanation of this surprising statement
was the assertion that those gentlemen
had found "the pressure from the busi
ness people of the West so great and the
prospect of Bryan defeat eo bright that
they had been forced to this step."
These reports were industriously dis
tributed among the workingmen and
employes all Over the city and at rail
way yards and stations and created a
visible effect, until investigation showed
every one of the statements to be abso-
lutelv false, only a few minutes of time
was required to obtain a definite denial
from each of those gentlemen of the
truth of the rumors, but the comments
and excitement which the announce'
merit created showed how dangerous
false statements of this kind are liable
to be in the closing hours of the cam
paign and how the public should be on
their guard against them. '
Bryan Finn ting Hard.
Bloohington, III.: Oct. 27. Bryan
will make- the last week of the com
paign a record-breaker. Shortly after
7 o'clock this morning he was talking to
the people of Lincoln, 111. At 9 o'clock
the people of Bloomington were listen
ing to him. At Lincoln, when the
special car was side-tracked - shortly
aftfr 3 o clock this morning, a crowd of
ardent admirers of the nominee dis
turbed his rest, demanding a speech.
He spoke later to several thousand in
the public square.
A Fatal Bull Fight.
Nog ales, Ariz., Oct. 27. A bull fight
with fatal results occurred at Nogales,
Sonora, Sunday, and for a short time
caused a panic in the audience. One of
the bulls, becoming more enraged than
usual at these rather tame fights, rushed
about the arena goring everything
within its reach. A horse was disem-
boweled.
A picador. Jose Angelo, in an attempt
to place a thorn in the side of the wild
animal, was caught on one of its long
horns, which pierced him like a sword.
He was tossed, and fell to the ground
bleeding and mangled, where the beast
held him between his horns and pawed
him. He was - frightfully injured and
died a few minutes later. There was in
tense excitement in the audience and at
one time it was on the'verge of a panic,
but. was quieted by the killing of the
bull. -

Fatal Accident Near Wallula.
Walla Walla, Wash., Oct. 27. An
extra wheat train of thirty-three cars
was wrecked seven miles east of Wal
lula at 11 o'clock this morning, in which
Fireman Boy Carpenter and Brakeman
Williams were killed and Engineer
Rucke received painful but not fatal in
juries. The cause of the accident was a
broken rail. The accident happened on
aurve, where there is a hill. The en
gine was hurled upside down under nine
demolished cars. A special train took
surgeons to the place of the disaster to
day. Engineer Kunke was brought to
this city, and is now in the hospital.
His home is in La Grande, as was that
of Fireman Carpenter, who leaves a wife
and several children.
Flag Day in Chicago.
Chicago, Oct. 27. Old Glory will
have a big day Saturday. Thousands of
voters in both the big parties will follow
the advice of the campaign managers
and observe Saturday as flag day. Re
ports received al headquarters indicate
that patriots all over the country will
vie withv each other in decorating their
homes and business places with the
stars an'i stripes. In Chicago addi
tional honor will be paid the national
emblem at a big patriotic meeting to be
held in the Auditorium Saturday after
noon, when tribute will be paid the
starry banner in song and story.
The Republicans printed and dis
tributed 1,000,000 paper flags, and will
have 100,000 for use in Chicago nex
Saturday.
He Did Speak. After All.
Thompson, Ga., Oct. 27. Thomas E
Watson spoke yesterday at Lincolnton
to 300 Populists. He declared he would
be in the race for vice-president nntil
the last vote was counted. He said the
withdrawal of the Populist electoral
ticket in Georgia did not indicate that
he would come down, but was only
protest against the present management,
He declared the Populist party had
been betrayed by its leaders. He de
nounced Scwall as a plutocrat, a na
tional banker, etc.
POPE IS IXTEBESIED.
Outcome of American Presidential Cam
paign Cltsely Watched.
London, Oct. 27. The Pall Mail Ga
zette publishes a dispatch from Rome
which says:
The presidential election of the United
States is the absorbing topic at the Vati
can, the explanation being tne strides
which Catholicism has made in America,
which is now one of the Church's largest
sources of income.
A recognized standing danger of Ro
manism in the United States is the inde
pendence of American bishops . notice
able since the time of Pius IX. The
latter fully recognized that these bishops
enjoyed greater power than their breth
ren elsewhere and snowed that be . un
derstood thi9 by his witty answer to
some English priests who asked for cer
tain privileges. He said : "I am, as
you say, the pope ; yet 1 cannot accede
to your request, but, added the pontiff,
with a slight twinkle in his eye, "I can
show you a way to obtain your desire.
Go to America, for there the bishops
are greater than the pope."
On the accession of Pope Leo matters
assumed a different aspect. He charged
Monsignor Satolli with the duty of inti
mating to the bishops in unmistakable
language the limit of their powers and
the result was something like a split,
whicn it took Monsignor Satolli two
years to heal. But his mission had good
results.
The correspondent of the Pall Mall Ga
zette remarks that the church does not
desire its representatives in America to
take an active part in the campaign,
fearing a new division in the ranks, and
apprehending at the same time some of
the more impetuous bishops might break
out.
Politic Drove Him Crary.
Walla Walla, Oct. 27. Martin De-
Ianey, a single man, aged 37, was ad
judged insane today by Judge Upton,
and ordered to be committed to the asy
lum- at Medical Lake. Delaney, a farm
hand, of late had been attending all po
litical meetings in the country. He is
rational on all matters except those po
litical. Upon political subjects be is
very violent, and wants to make speech
es to every one he meets. .

Bli Article in the Hamburger Nachrlch
ten Brings Forth a Rebake From
the Official Press.
Beblin, Oct. 28. Public opinion gen
erally in Germany condemns Prince Bis
marck's revelations in the Hamburger
Nachrichten, regarding the alliance be
tween Russia and Germany, which ex
isted during the last years of his chan
cellorship, and allusions are made to his
'indiscreet loquacity, which is gradually
tarnishing bis glorious reputation."
There is little doubt that the prince
bas divulged important state secret's
his attempt to triumph oyer bis success
or, General Count von Caprivi, and the
official communication in the Reichzan
ger yesterday, cabled exclusively to the
Associated Press, indirectly admits the
truth of the article in the Kachrichten
and sharply rebukes Prince Bismarck
"by saying :
"Diplomatic events ot tnis kind are
strict state secrets, and to preserve them
conscientiously is an international duty
a breach of which would prejudice im
portant state matters. The imperial
government must therefore decline any
attempt to clear up the matter, and
will neither deny what is false nor sup
ply what is incomplete.
THINKS SPAIN WILL WIN.
General Weyler Is Confident of Success
in Cuba
-Havana, Oct. 28. In an interview
General Weyler was aeked last night :
"What do you think about the pros
pects of putting down the insurrection
in the province of Pinar del Rio?"
, The general replied that he thought
tne chances were excellent for. the com
plete success of the Spanish arms in that
province. He had been of this opinion
for some time, he said, and the recen
victories of General Mnnoz at Cacaraja-
cara, and of ueneral Arolas at Artemisa,
had only confirmed him in his belief of
freeing the province of all insurgents.
"Is it a fact that yon have decided to
take the field in person. General Wey
ler?" aeked the correspondent.
"There is nothing absolutely decided
on that subject. I am in telegraphic
connection with my generals everv
where and can direct the movements of
all my forces. . Here I can follow the
course of events, both civil, political and
military. I have so far believed that
my best work could be done here. Here
I can better direct operations : here
have in my , hands the control of tele
graphs, railroads and steamships. Once
in the field my scope would be limited
to that of a commander ot an army
corps. , ,
SITUATION IN INDIA.
Outlook far a Famine
Is on the In-
crease.
Simla, Oct. 28. The famine outlook
in India is increasing in gloominess. It
is not probable now that rain will fall
and prospects are serious in the north
west and central provinces in the
Punjaub. The scarcity, is extending to
Behas. At Bombay prices have risen
heavily. Large imports of foreign grain
are expected. About thirty lakhs ol
rupees have already been given from
the imperial revenues for advance seeds,
etc., and relief work in the northwest
and central provinces, the Punjaub,
Central India and Raputana are being
started, .in addition to the irrigation
works which are projected in '. the
Punjaub. The government will issue a
detailed final forecast of distress in De
cember.
OHIO IS SAFE.
The State Will Give McKinley
an Im-
mense Majority.
Columbus, O., Oct. 28. Hon. C. L.
Kurtz, chairman of the Ohio Republican
executive committee bas sent the follow
ing telegram to M. A. Hanna at Chicago :
'Columbus, Oct. 27. Hon. M. A
Hanna, Chairman Republican .National
Committee, Chicago: Ohio will give
McKinley a larger majority than she
ever gave to a leading candidate on the
state or national ticket, with the possi
ble exception of that given to Broucb for
governor in 1863. C. L. Kurtz, chair
man." This is the first predictraerit which
Chairman Kurtz has made concerning
the election in Ohio. Numerous state
ments have been attributed to him, but
none of them have been authentic. The
magnitude of the vote claimed by Mr.
Kurtz can best be understood . when
it is stated that two years ago Hon. S,
M. Taylor, Republican candidate, for
secretary of state, received a majority of
64,000, his plurality being 137.000,
Brongh's majority for governor in 1863
was 100,882. Mr. Kurtz says he does
not care to give any fignres at this time.
but may do so before the election. It is
figured that the vote in the rural pre
cincta will stand about the same as last
year, the cities and towns rolling up the
big majorities for McKinley.
A POPCXISTIC FORGERY.
Celebrated Locomotive Engineers'
"Proclamation" Is Denounced.
Peoria, 111., Oct. 27. The following
circular-was issued today :
. "To the Workingmen of the United
States: To refute the false statement,
as we Bincerely believe it to be, and to
correct the impression our friends an
acquaintances may have formed con
cerning our signatures to a campaign
document going the rounds of the press
and circulated broadcast on the streets
entitled, 'A Proclamation,' in which it
is made to appear that we are in favor
of free silver at any ratio, and the sub
stantial establishment of two standard
of money, contradictory aB the terms
may be, we wish to be recorded by all
who are interested , in onr position as
being emphatically and unequivocal!
against any such measure, but are for
the sound-money plank promulgated by
the Republican convention at St. Louis
"Our signatures were obtained nearly
three years ago to a document pretend
ing to be a memorial to congrees, then in
sejsion) which in our beleif and memory
was a much milder paper than is th
'Proclamation' referred to, and no mat
ter what our opinions may have been on
any question at tbe time of our signing
the memorial, nearly three years ago,
we have learned enough since on tbe
subject to warraht'us in renouncing th
attempt at tbe free coinage of silver at
16 to 1. believine it to be directlv aeainst
the interests of labor, and also believing
that under the condition of free coinage
this country will be subjected to one of
the most frightful panics any country in
this world has ever seen.'
"Our belief in this, statement
strengthened by the admission made by
William Jennings Bryan, candidate for
president, in a recent speech in the
Northwest, wherein he is reported as
saying that he thought free-silver coin
age would bring for the present stagna
tion and panic, but from which in four
years we would recover. We do not be
lieve this country can stand an add
tional four years of misery and distress
and are therefore opposed to tbe senti
ments contained in the aforesaid 'Proc
la ma tion.' Respectfully, ' '

RESERVOIRS

Montreal
May Suffer the
Awful Fate
of .fohnstown.
juontbbal. jci. zs. Montreal ib
threatened with a disaster even worse
than that of the Johnstown flood, owing
to the present condition of the city res
ervoirs on Mount Royal, overlooking the
city. The big basins have been leaking
badiy for years, and the leaks have been
increasing rapidly. The authorities of
McGill university, which is situated
just below the reservoirs, have comma
nicated with the city officials, pointing
out the danger and notifying the citv
that it ' would be held responsible tor
$1,000,000 damage in the event of a
break.
The reservoirs hold over 20,000,000
gallons of water, and experts say that
unless repairs are made at once the walls
holding the reservoirs will give way and
a terrible disaster result. The masonrv
wall is only eight or ten feet thick, and
once it is thoroughly honeycombed and
gives way the earth backing 'will not
hold tbe immense body of water. - The
effect would, simply be the obliteration of
wide belt of the city from the reservoir
to the Lachine canal and river, and the
whole of the low-lying pari of the city'
would be flooded. The mayor has given
oraers 10 nave tne necessary renairs
made at once.

IMS CHICAGO SPEECHES
Bryan Doing Himself Abso
lute Harm.
STARS AND STRIPES INSULTED
One Andlence Became So Anarchistic
They Trampled Upon the Ameri
can Flag;.
Chicago, Oct. 29. Special to The
Chronicle. Mr. Bryan's visit to Chi
cago is proving a great disappointment
to his managers. While his frantic
efforts and mad rash from place to place
in the city have attracted many people
a large proportion of them not only wore
yellow badges, bat showed their loyalty
to McKinley bv cheers for him at the
conclusion of Bryan's remarks. Where
ever Bryan speaks speakers soon put in
their appearance, and if it were possible
for Bryan's speeches to have any influ
ence on voters, it would be more than
offset by the workers of McKinley speak
ers thronghont the city.
' Senator Tillman's appearance in the
public squares of Chicagaat this time
is likened unto the notorious "sand lot'
appeals ot Dennis Kearney in San Fran
i-isoo, and his work is doing good service
for the sound money cause. After ten
ants of Temple Court buildings, 22i
Dearborn Btreet, bad listened to Bryan
speak today, they torn down the Ameri
can flag and trampled it under foot,
This created intense indignation among
other occupants of the building, and for
a time it looked as though serious
trouble would result'.
After Chairman Hanna had this even
ing carefully examined revised poll
from several states, including those re
cemly regarded as doubtful, he declared
he was now .absolutely certain that Mc
Kinley and Hobart would be elected by
a much larger majority tban lie has
heretofore anticipated. He said there
was no longer the' least donbt that all
the Pacific elope states Kansas, Ne
braska, the DakotaB, Minnesota, Michi
gan, lennessee, We Virginia, Mary
land and Delaware, would choose Mc
Kinley and Hobart electors on next
Tuesday. ,
C. C. Vale & Co., brokers in this city
have posted $1000 to bet on McKinley's
election at three to one.
RKSORT TO VIOLENCE.
McKinley Parade Stoned by Populifts

Albany, Or., Oct. 29. A9 the cam
paign nears its close, the lawless element
in the Bryan party appears to have be
come emboHened, and numerous in
staucts of shameless methods resorted to
are reported. Yesterday A.. C. Hough
went to Lyons to speak for the McKinley
cause, lie was met at tbe train by
Mr. Hiatt, a stanch Republican. ' The
consent of two of the directors of the
school district bad been obtained to use
tbe Bchoolhouse for tbe speaking, but
when'Mr. Hiatt, went after tbe key,
third director, who is a Populist,
informed him that the schoolboase - had
been let for a dance. . After considerable
f rouble Mr. Hiatt found the door opened
and went in and lit the lamps. He
stepped out for a few minutes, and,
when he returned, found the door locked
and behind it were two ruffians, who
said with an oath that they did not pro
pose to allow any Republican to speak
n Lyons. It was raining, and no out
door meeting could be held, and the
speaking was given up. The next morn-
ng Mr. Hough was insulted and booted
at on his way to the train. :
At Jefferson, Tuesday evening, tbe
Republicans held a big rally, and a great
crowd was present. A gang of lawless
Brvanites began throwing stones' at the
marching columns of McKinley imen
A number of citizens were struck by fly-

REPUDIATION AND DISHONOR.
A Fart of One of Henry Ward Beeohert
Best Sermons.
During the fiat money and unlimited
paper currency excitement of 1877 Mr.
Beecher delivered a famous sermon on
Thanksgiving of that year on the perils
of the day. In It he used this language:
"Whenever in any nation there is
euoh an attempt to tamper with stand
ards that the moral sense of man is be
wildered and liberty is given to unprin
cipled men at large to cheat, to be un
faithful to obligations, to refuse the
payment of honest debts whenever that
takes place, it is all the worse if done
with the permission of the law. I hate
the devil riding on a law worse than I
do the devil riding without a law under
him. Whoever tampers with established
Standards tampers with the very marrow
and vitality of publio faith. The .
danger into which we are running is
hidden under the mystery of finance and
the currency. All money is but a repre
sentative of property. As now, by facil
ity of intercourse, all the world is one
open market, the need of one and the
same standard of money, uniform, uni
versal and unalterable, becomes imperi
ous. "Gold is the world's standard. Gold
is the universal measure of value. Other
kinds of money there are silver, cop
per, paper but thoy all must conform
to gold and be measured by it and be
interchangeable with it, in fixed and
definite proportions. Gold, is king in
commerce. All other money must rep
resent gold. No vote of legislature can
change the nature of commerce, the na
ture of property, the nature of js repre
sentative in money or tbe relative supe
riority or inferiority of different cur
rencies. ' Gold came to its supremacy as
a representative of property by the long
established consent of mankind. Con
gress cannot change it for the world,
nor even for this nation, except upon
past transactions. It may givo impu
nity to men to cheat confiding creditors,
but it cannot rule the value of currency
in all future transactions.
"The crime of paying a debt in a cur
rency inferior in valne to that in which
it was contracted, base at nil times and
anywhere, has a deeper guilt and a
baser infamy in our case. When in our
mortal etrnggle capitalists were solicited
to lend their money to us on the faith of
the nation, we were too" glad, most
grateful, for their aid. Then they were
not grasping and swollen usurers. Oh,
nol They were benefactors. Wo rejoiced
in their bounty and gave thanks for
their confiding faith in our national
honesty. Now, our dangers past, we re
vile them, finding no epithets too vio
lent, and strive to pay them, not gold
for the gold they lent onr misery, but in
a dishonest measure of an inferior
metal.
In the court of the commercial
wolrd's conscience we shall be convict
ed of endeavoring to cheat the men who
came to our rescue in the dark day.
This congress would not have existed
nor any government of the United
States but for the strength given to our
armies by foroign capitalists, and now
to return their aid by a base treachery
is to deserve an infamy as deep as the
lowest depths of hell. But woe-to those
men, bull headed, without eyes, who are
attempting to nndermine the integrity
and simplicity of the nation. .
An Unworthy Citizen.
' Silverite Orator What we want is

Skeptio Would free coinage make
more money?
S. O. Certainly. It would give us
both gold and silver.
S. But wouldn't free coinage at 16

cordance with the Green am law? .
S. O. My friend,.. Mr. Bryan pro
poses to repeal any law that is working
in the interest of the'sfoldbuga and Shy
