THE MOKm3TG--OBEttOyrAlfr ,,THtRSDAY, OCTOBER 28, 1900. S OR A PARTNER Millionaire Walsh Goes in Business With Leopold. BELGIAN HAS MONEY TO INVEST He "Will Speculate 1b. Americas. Mines and Stoolcs Money Scarce in Sweden. JTETW TCKRIC, Oct. 2t A dispatch te the World from Paris says: A business partnership has been entered into between Thomas Walsh, the Colo rado millionaire, and Leopold, Kins: of Belgium. Walsh attracted the attention of financiers, "who sought to interest him in various business schemes, among oth ers Charles Naegelmackers, the Belgian president of the International Sleeplng 3ex Company, which controls the train de luxe service throughout Europe. Through outside speculations the com pany had become somewhat embarrassed. Three months ago Naegelmackers , ar xanged for a meeting between King Leo pold and the Colorado millionaire at Os tend. Walsh was requested by King Xeo pold and Naegelmackers for his decision in the proposed business deal, but the American millionaire exclaimed: "Your company may pay, under the best conditions, 3 or 4 per cent. I handle my capital in such a way that It brings in 10, 12, or even 20 per cent. Let us talk no more about your sleeping-cars." King Leopold, who, since the marvelous recuperation of the Congo Free State, owns enormous private wealth and is a keen money-maker, upon hearing Walsh descant upon and explain the possibili ties of the kind of operations that are familiar to American millionaires, -changed his tactics, inquiring where a tKing who had some little available money himself could get in the American field. Walsh, fearful of the whims of such a lofty partner, was singularly un responsive, and at first did not answer the query. King Leopold, however, who had already made exhaustive inquiries In the United States and had received the most Irreproachable replies concerning: iWalsh's uprightness and financial solid ity, had become favorably impressed by the brilliancy, boldness and prudence of the Colorado millionaire. He over whelmed Walsh with such attentions that the latter finally realized the advantages of such a partnership, which, in addition to bringing him high social distinction, "would also provide him with unlimited capital for the execution of some of his vast projects. After a few weeks consideration, Walsh finally yielded through the repre sentations of Naegelmackers, and con sented to become King Leopold's financial adviser and partner. Several contracts have been signed, each intrusting several millions of dollars in Walsh's hands. It is believed that the operations contem plated will be confined mostly to mining, with some Incidental stirring up of the stock markets, in order to bring to terms those powerful financiers who have been opposing Walsh's speculative operations. i addition week. ' 2t will close Sunday, November U. One day wiir be devoted to -the poor, with, free admission. That night the exposition will be illuminated, as on special nights. It is expected that 1,000, 000 visitors will be present that day. The American exhibitors generally are op posed to the prolongation, as they have made contracts and every other arrange ment to remove their exhibits on the day originally set for closing, and many of them have booked their passage home. Von Bnlovr's Policy. BERLIN. Oct 24. Count, von Bulow, the new Imperial Chancellor, while pre siding yesterday at the Ministry of State, made a long- speech, in which he explained his alms and emphasized the indispens able necessity of a strong1 and united government in order to carry the demo cratic policy which the country demands and requires. Tories Were Frightened. LONIDON, Oct. 24. "Great uneasiness was created in palace circles," says the Constantinople correspondent of the Dally Mail, "by a report that an American squadron was approaching and the cen sor was instructed to prohibit the press from mentioning the subject' Transvaal Officials at Naples.

ISO SECRET CLAUSE IN ANGLO-GERMAN AGREEMENT MEN ACES NO OTHER POWER. GENERAL LIBBER'S REPORT MONEY SCARCE IN SWEDEN. A Commercial Crisis Is Threatened People In Desperate Straits. LONIDON, Oct 24. A dispatch to the Taily Mail from Stockholm, Sweden, says: The extraordinary scarcity of money, "Which has been growing more acute for a month, is so seriously affecting' com mercial circles as to threaten a crisis. The halance of foreign trade continues against Sweden, and the repeated con traction of gold loans abroad fails to pal liate the situation. Industries are dally launched, but adequate capital is not available, and the newspapers are filled with appeals from families in desperate straits for money. Rural people, attract ed by the Industrial activity, are flock ing to the towns, and, consequently, the demand for houses is so great that rents have advanced 20 to 30 per cent. The civil servants have already been granted 20 per cent Increase in pay to meet the hard times, and it is expected employers generally will have to follow suit. The Storthlnsr Opened. CHRISTIANIA, Oct. 24. The Storthing was opened today with the customary speech by the Crown Prince Gostavus, in "his character as Regent. The Crown Prince's eldest son, Gustaf, took the oath of fidelity to the constitution. In his speech from the throne, he made the usual reference to the friendly relations existing with other powers, and briefly touched upon the Chinese troubles. ADVrCES FROM THE ORIENT. Affairs on the Asiatic Coast Reported by Victoria Steamer. VICTORIA, B. C Oct. 24. The steamer KInshlu Maru arrived this afternoon -with advices from Chemulpo that Mr. Sands, the American advisor to the Corean court, and Messrs. Bostwick and Collbran have induced a number of pro-American Min isters to assist them in the advancement of American interests. Conferences were held with the Emperor regarding the bor rowing of $5,000,000 from America on se curity of the customs revenue, but there was a hitch and the scheme seemed to be not made a success. The Pekin correspondent of the Kobe Chronicle says the object of Japan in keeping the Fifth Army Division in China was because of the failure of Rus sia to abide by the proposal to withdraw from Pekin. He praises the stand taken by the United States, saying no one can accuse her of seeking self-glory or grain. In taking the punishment of rebels into their own bands, the powers destroy any semblance of any authority remaining to the Chinese Government, and even If the Emperor is withdrawn from the Influence of the Empress Dowager, he will fall easy prey to stronger minds. The correspond ent fears that the powers, viewing each other with suspicion, will be unable to agree on so difficult a matter. Worlc for the Year In the Depart ment of Judge Advocate-GeneraL WASHINGTON, Oct 24. General L16 ber. Judge Advocate-General of the Army, in his annual report to the Secretary of War Bays there were 66S0 trials by gen eral court-martial during the past fiscal year, of which number 35 were commis sioned officers (11 regulars and 24 volun teers); 4 cadets, 6618 enlisted men (5424 reg ulars and 1194 volunteers), and 23 civil ians with the Army. Of the commisslonea officers 26, and of the enlisted men 6020 were convicted. A total of 25S0 men were sentenced to dishonorable discharge, of whom 2270 were in the legular Army and 215 in the volunteers. Death sentences were imposed by sen tence of court-martial in six cases of en listed men one for murder, four for rape and one for striking a superior officer. The death sentences were commuted by the President to discharge, forfeiture of all pay and allowances and imprisonment at hard labor for 20 years in five cases and for three years in one cas that of striking a superior officer. The death sen tence was imposed by sentence of a court martial in one case of a civilian employe for rape and other offenses, which sen tence, however, was commuted to Impris onment at hard labor for 20 years. In addition to the above, 5S persons were tried by military commissions during the year, of which number 42 were convictad, 15 were acquitted and in one case the sentence was disapproved. Death sen tences were imposed by military com missions in 18 cases of natives of the Philippines eight for murder" and rob bery, four for murder and one for being a spy. The death sentence was disap proved in one case, executed in five and commuted to Imprisonment at hard la bor for 20 years in five cases, for 15 years in one case and for 10 in another. The Judge- Advocate-General's Depart ment Is now composed of eight officers, a force, in the opinion of General Lleber, entirely insufficient to meet existing re quirements. General Llebef recommends the passage of a bill drafted by him "to prevent the failure of military Justlco," which was favorably reported to the House of Representatives at the first ses sion of the 56th. Congress, but failed of enactment The 'first section of that bill prescribes a penalty for" civilians who refuse to appear as witnesses before a general court-martial of the Army when properly summoned. Another provision Is that regimental and garrison court martials and summary courts shall not have power to try special cases of com manding officers. ' Response of the United States Is Still in Abeyance Withdrawal of American Troops. WASHINGTON,. Oct 24. In view of the. widespread comment that the Anglo-German alliance concerning China was open to the possible construction of an Implied or Indirect menace or threat against some other power Interested in the Chinese question, the attenton of Count de Quadt, the German Charge d' Affaires, today was called to this point Count de Quadt said that ho was able to give a categorical and very positive statement on the highest authority, 'that the agreement Involved no menace whatever to any power con cerned in China. He said this applied to all the parties which had taken a hand In Chinese affairs. The Count stated with eaual posltlveness that there was no foundation for reports of further or ! ....lit ..l.tlnr.

Martin, of the University of, Pekin; who fa at his home here, said of tho China problem: "The best remedy for the situation is th'e re-establishment of the young Em peror, who possesses liberal and progres sive ideas. If he cannot be put- on the throne, one of two things will follow: Erther native princes will divide the country, or foreign powers will cut It up and rule through native princes. The lat ter, I believe, would be the better of tho two." TODAY WILL DECIDE IT MITCHELI. Wllil. SAY WHETHER THE STRIKE IS OFF OR ON. Skirmishes in Amnr. ST. PETERSBURG, Oct. 24. Skirmishes continue between the Russians and the Chinese at various points along the Man churlan Railway.

According to official iJjjQ i 7 jj i i ,- DRUMMED OUT OF CAMP. ; Syracuse (N Y.) Herald. Return of Volunteers. WASHINGTON. Oct 24. It is said at the War Department that no plans have yet been made for bringing home the volunteer troops in the Philippines pre paratory to their dlBoharge June 30 next, in accordance with the law, but it Is probable the homeward movement will begin November 15 and be continued until the volunteers have been landed in the United States. There are nearly 33,500 ot these troops, and their transportation across the Pacifio will be an immense undertaking. additional features to the agreement be yond those transmitted to the various governments and made public. He said that the document covered the entire transaction. The resDonse of the United States to the British-German agreement, as com municated by County de Quadt, is still held in abeyance. It is understood that with tho third article, namely that con cerning the compact between Great Brit ain ard Germany to take' suitable meas ures in their" own interests in the con tingency that other powers seize terri tory in China, our Government will not concern itself at this stage. It Is not ex pected that our adherence to the arrange ment would be required to take the form of a formal signature or acceptance. So it is probable that the answer to be made by the State Department will not be an unqualified acceptance of the whole com pact, but only will treat of those por tions of the agreement with which we are directly concerned at present' Based on General Chaffee's advice, the War Department officials are convinced that all the officers and troops included in the order of evacuation have not only left Pekin, but are now at Tien Tsln, or near by. The Quartermaster's Depart ment has made all arrangements for tak ing them aboard ship, so there Is no longer much danger of the troops being prevented by Ice from leaving North China. It is now said that In all prob ability General James H. Wilson, the sec ond in command in China, will soon bo de tached, and will not remain In Pekin, ac cording to the original programme. Instead of having' the negotiations for a final settlement conducted through a fully organized commission In behalf of the United States Government, as at first proposed, It begins to appear that they will be conducted, if there are to be any formal negotiations, through the simple mechanism-of the American Legation at Pekin, proper credentials for the purpose being dispatched to" Minister Conger. reports, all -the cities in the Hul Chow prefecture are still holding out, the reb els confining themselves to capturing vil lages and slaughtering Isolated bodies of Imperial troops. The rebels are actively recruiting, and are now estimated to number 10,000. There has been no pitched battle. The Chinese General commanding at Hul Chow is afraid -to leave the city for (fear of being cut off. Officials of the United Mlneworkem Begin n. Conference in Hazlcton. HAZLETON, Pa., .Oct. . 24. President Mitchell tonight announced that he would tomorrow, probably late in the afternoon or evening, issue a statement defining the position of the United Mineworkers in the present strike. He also said that his state ment would, in all likelihood, Indicate whether the strike would be Immediately declared off or be continued. This an nouncement was made as a result of to day's conference between the National and district officers of the United Mine workers. The Impression around head quarters tonight Is that the statement will contain practically a declaration that the contest is ended. Coal companies controlling about 75 per cent, of the anthracite coal product have posted notices, but President Mitchell will not say that all of them comply with the terms of the Scranton convention. Tho big companies In this district that have not posted the notices are the Lehigh Coal & Navigation Company, G. B. Markle. & Co. and Coxe Bros. Co. The Markles have granted no increase In wages of any kind. Today's conference was In session three hours, and was adjourned until tomorrow morning. President Mitchell, at its con clusion, announced that the situation was partly canvassed and that the review would be completed tomorrow. The con ference discussed plans as to what should be done In the event of one or more 6f the coal companies declining to grant the demand of the miners, as set forth In the resolution adopted at the Scranton con vention. No definite conclusion was ar rived at. Mr. Mitchell declined to say whether the statement of tho United Mineworkers that no man will be per mitted to retur'n to work unless they all go in together, still holds good. The notices posted by several of the larger companies In the Lackawanna and Wyo ming regions today, announcing that the mineworkers will be given Vfc cents on every car or ton in order to make up tho 10 per cent increase, came In for much consideration at the conference. When the conference adjourned this evening this matter was still under discussion. HUNDREDS CURED BY DR. COPELANO'S TRUE METHOD.

DID THE VALET CONFESS? Put on the Rack by the Assistant Dis trict Attorney. NEW YORK, Oct 24.-Charles P. Jones, who was Millionaire Rice's valet, late this afternoon was taken from his cell in the Tombs to the private office of District Attorney Gardiner. Jones was closeted for more than a half hour with Assistant District Attorney Mclntyre and Captain McCluskey. It was rumored that he made" a confession, but at the conclusion of the interview Mr. Mclntyre said that the in terview had nothing to do with a con fession, but was in reference to another matter on which he had at this time nothing to say. At the end of the in terview Jones was taken back to the Tombs. In the examination today the defense made a formal motion to dismiss, con tending there has been no evidence in troduced to show that the signature of the ?25,O0O check had been forged; that there was no competent evidence that it -was not the signature of Mr. Rice; that assuming it to be a forgery, there was no evidence that either Patrick or Jones forged it; and that the presenta tion of the check for a certification at the bank did not constitute an attempt to utter the check within the meaning of the law, and that there was no evidence of an Intent to defraud. CHINA'S TERMS. Proposal hy Prince China: and XI Hung: Changr. NEW YORK, Oct. 24. A dispatch to the Herald from Pekin, says: A preliminary convention between China and the combined powers has been pro posed by Prince Chlng and Ll Hung Chang. It Is as follows: "Article I.

China acknowl edges her great fault In, this respect and promises that it will never occur again,. "Article II. i China admits her liability to pay an indemnity for the various losses sustained on this occasion, and the powers I he knows nothing of affairs on tho islands Conditions Bettered .Since This Na tion Occupied Islands. WASHINGTON, Oct 20. Less than a month ago Jose Abreu, a lawyer of Ma nila, and of one of the most Influential families of the Philippine Islands, believ ing that the United States will always re tain the islands, came.-to Washington to study law, and has entered one of the lo cal colleges which affords an unsurpass able course In American law. Mr. Abreu is one of the many Filipinos who believe that the. retention of the islands by the United States is the best thing that could happen for the people and the country. Ho Intends to study American Institutions and laws, and equip himself to live In Manila as a full-fledged American citizen. Mr, Abreu called on the President soon after his arrival In Washington, and talked with him for some time about con ditions in the Philippines. Later, in. speak ing to a group of newspaper men, he said that the renewed fighting by the insur gents was about the last stand of Agul naldo and his officers, and was planned to influence the comin'g election. "They hope," said he, "that by making a few attacks here and there, the American peo ple will believe the lnsurreotion still ex ists, and will continue. It Is all In the hope that Mr. Bryan will be elected. ' "If President McKinley is re-elected the rebellion will cease in a very short time and peace will again be restored. The better element among the Filipinos are perfectly satisfied with the course this Government has pursued since Its occupa tion of the islands, and it is only among a few that dissatisfaction Is felt" In speaking about the visit of Sixto Lopez to this country, Mr. Abreu says that he has never been regarded very highly In the estimation, of the better class of Filipino citizens. Abreu scoffs at the idea of Lo pez coming to this country for the pur pose of acquainting this Government with the conditions as they exist on the Islands and of the needs of the Filipinos. He says that Lopez has not been near the Philippines for over three years, and that Held Up n Trolley Car. SHENANDOAH, Pa., Oct. 24.

Trade With Guatemala. WASHINGTON, Oct. 24. The recent successful negotiations for the completion of the Northern Railway of Guatemala have had a stimulating effect on the peo ple of that republic, according to a report from Consul-General McNally to the .State Department. The completion of the railway, he says, will effect direct com munication between the Atlantic and Pa cific, and will no doubt attract shippers in the direction of New Orleans and the Gulf. Heretofore, while there has been considerable Import trade on the Pacific side, that on the Atlantic side has suf fered, transportation being an Impossi bility owing to the lack of railroad facili ties from El Rancho to the City of Guate mala, a distance of 60 miles.

Her son is a lawyer of -that city. TRUE AS IN 1896. f Dangers of Bryanism in White House and Congress. New York Journal of Commerce. If Mr. Bryan is elected we have no doubt that Congress will be controlled by the sllverites. No one seriously doubts that the party that elects the President will elect the House of Representatives. We have shown that nine of the sound money majority In the Senate go out of office next March, and are either bl metallsts, or are from states that lean to silver, and If sllverlsm carries the country they will have to be sllverites, or they will be succeeded by men who are Replacing these nine men with sllverites In two cases It has been done already would give the sllverites a majority In the Senate. - Mr. Bryan's election will be a notifica tion to the Nation and to the world that the country has reconsidered its decision in favor of sound money made four years ago, and is either In favor- of free silver coinage or is quite Indifferent This is an announcement that the dol lar of Its present value the gold dollar will not continue to be tho sole standard of value; the change may not be made immediately, but if the country elects Mr. Bryan President every one at home and abroad will understand at once that the single gold standard Is not to be main tained, that no one knows what a dollar will mean next year, or five years hence, that the value of every piece of prop erty and the obligation of every contract and the real value of every savings bank or other 'account, and every life In surance policy Is brought Into question. All the things that were said of the danger of Mr. Bryan's election four years ago were true then and are true now. Gentlemen who denounced sllverlsm four years ago and are supporting It now may reconcile their conduct if they can; we find it Impossible to understand how the election of Mr. Bryan would have been ruinous in 1S96 and may bo a matter of comparative lndlfferenco In 19C0. Mr. Bryan has promised to call a special session of Congress for next Spring in the event of his election to do what It pleases he avoids saying what he shall advise In regard to the Philippines. If that Congress shall be sllverlte, as we doubt not It will be If Mr. Bryan carries the elecetlon, It will repeal the law of March 14 and will open tho mints for the free coinage of slver. If that Congress shall be opposed to him It would still be within the power of Mr. Bryan to 'carry out the promise he has made to pay the public creditor In Bllver. The Government owns 16,000 000 silver dollars with which a good begin ning could be made, and as fnst as paid out it would return to be paid cut again. The moment his policy was dis closedindeed, the moment his election was made known the payment of gold to the treasury would cease. Silver dol lars and certificates would become the chief currency. Gold would be with drawn and begin to seek recuperation from the work ithas long done In a trip to Europe. The law would command Mr. Bryan to maintain the redemption of legal tender notes In gold, but no ore familiar with legal Ingenuity In the presence of an obnoxious statute could have, much confidence In the law of last March holding out against Mr. Bryan and his Cabinet. The payment of expenses and interest in silver dollars by People are now oelng cured of chronic bronchitis and cured permanently by tho specialists of the Copeland Medical Institute, the Dekum building, corner Third and Washington streets, with little delay and no particular difficulty, and at an assessment of but $5 monthly which all patients are. expected to pay the re medial Inhalations and medicines being all Included in that nominal fee-rate. This may seem surprising. Doctors have been complaining for a thousand years that they couldn't cure bronchitis, but this has been because they didn't know how, or hadn't meanB for applying cura tives locally. Bronchitis is a local malady, directly accessible to curative Inhalations, and the only effective treatment Is by an in-breathlng of vaporized remedies ot transcendent healing virtue till the sore and Inflamed bronchial tubes are moist ened by It, or soaked In It, or effectually impregnated with it, for the period neces sary to permanently allay its inflamma tions and to permanently abate its pains. The usual method is not to send heat ing vapors down the windpipe to the burning bronchia but to send arsenic and opium solutions, etc., down the breadplpe Into the stomach, thence to be carried up and down the whole live body and b diffused throughout the whole wide sys temthe bronchial tubes receiving lnca dentally only some faint. Infinitesimal pro portion of the "medicine." Dr. Copeland maintains that this opiating the entire body to reach a cough and soothe a sore spot In the chest this scattering ar senic all through tho system to mend an alrplpe and ease the breathing Is llko giving pills to a cow .and drinking the milk for colic. It Is like emptying ship loads of drugs Into the Willamette till all the hydrants of Portland run nothing but tinctures and syrups, not so much ta cure those who are sick as to sicken those who are well. This singular zigzag doctoring isn't tne right way to treat bronchitis, which is too firm- and formidable and stronglj rooted a malady to be loosened or shakes by any such foolishness, jt must be gox at locally. Immersed in oily vapors and cured somewhat as a boil or pimple is cured by a covering of ham rat. It we eat ra pork till the remedial grease oozes through all the 750,000 pores of the body, some of the hog-medlclne will, of course. Incidentally reach and grease the sore. This would be sacrificing the useful hu man stomach and befouling gallons ot pur and precious blood to cure a plm pre; but the Idea ,1s the same as that ot eating drugs to reach bronchitis. There can be no adequate and effectual medication of diseased bronchial tubes, excepting by the method practiced by Dr. Copeland and Montgomery. The healing vapors which they administer by lnhaln tlon are as balm and ointment poured from a cup directly upon the fevered bron chia. Their strong remedial virtues ar not wasted and lost by being uselessly diffused throughout the entire anatomy, but reach the place of disease In their, abundance and entirety In their full cu rative potency like a benignant salve upon an ugly wound. Drs. Copeland ana Motgomery's easy and complete mastery of bronchial catarrh la exciting National interest and drawing great numbers of sufferers dally to the Copeland Medlcai In-nitute. It Is simply because the metn ods employed are the only methods by which the disease can be directly medi cated with the freedom, fullness, potency and abundance requisite to its radical and permanent mastery. These People Speak From Personal Experience Mr. H. It. Long:, proprietor of the American Laundry, residing at 2S0 East Sixth street North, Portland: The Cope land physicians understand their business. Their treatment Is scientific, and the re sult they obtained In my case Is both sur prising and gratifying. If they accom plish for all their patients what they ac complished for me, It is no wonder that their offices are always crowded. is a great thing for a man who depends on a salary. It costs but $3 a month, and as this Includes all medicines, there Is no other Item of expense. Thl3 reasonable I charge makes the treatment a boon to all wage-earners. Rev. T. R. A. Scllwood, a -well-known rector of the Episcopal church, re siding at Mllwaukle: From my own In dividual experience I regard the system of treatment practiced by the Copeland specialists in chronic maladies as the very best. Their reasonable rates place their services within the reach of all; they are certainly public benefactors. Captain Abe Tlchenor, 607 Everett street, Portland: Our little girl Hazel could riot breathe through her nose, one was continually bothered with colds, and a gagging and rattling In her throat The Copeland physicians cured her. I cannot too highly recommend their methods or treating children. Hon. J. C, Lawrence, Garfield, Wash. : I have been familiarly acquainted with the Copeland physicians and their methods of caring for the sick for four or five years. I am thoroughly convinced: that their wonderful practice, which stands without parallel in the Northwest, Is Justly merited. It Is founded on sci ence, economy and honesty, and must con tinue to grow as the people become bet ter acquainted with It Mr. A. A.

Gentleman I bads cough for three yenf, effects of grip and not taking proper care of myself. In April I becam to weak I was unable to work. I Traa examined by two physicians, who told me J bad bronchitis, very bod. They adYiscd me to use Dvfh's Pure Malt Whiskey bat I was bo bitter against whis key that I would not consent. By Angnet last 1 had gone so fax as to be unable to fret my brrnth. ex cept with difficulty was Tory low. I thonpht I could not lire much longer. Onr old physician, I)r. T. W. Campbell, of Energy, S. C, examined my Inngs, toid me the right one waa very bad and the left one bat a trifle better, bat that I had enough lungs left to llvo a good while yet if I would take plenty of Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey, and take it regularly. By this time I waa wi'lmg to do any thing for relief. So the dear old man, though he la not a whiskey doctor, ordered me to begin at once with two tablespoonfnls aa a dose evrrr tno hoars, day and night. I did so, and immediately began to improve, and now, six weeks from that time, I can breath almost as well as I ever conld, and Dr. C. says my lungs are healed, tcept one dnll place in the right lung, and that the cavities are contracting.

Knnnns Town Destroyed DUNAVANT, Kan., Oct. 24. The busi ness portion of this town was destroyed by fire this morning. The Conservative Tendency. Boston Herald, Ind. The trend of the conservative voters of the country, which we noted last week 'as setting strongly toward tho sup port of McKinley, has been slnco that time steadily on tho Increase until It Is now taking on something llko the pro portions of a tidal wave. If It were a part of the policy of Mr. Hanna to have It appear and gain In volume just at this time as It has. the campaign could nat have been better managed. The gold democrats who were going back to Bryan went In a body months ago, and their tale has become an old story. As election day approaches, the others are declaring themselves, and theTe Is nothing left to affect the weight and the Importance of their numbers.

Some of us reached this position much earlier, but It was .sure to come to the rest before elec tion day. It Is coming now with a rush. Health and Disease Attitude of Gold Democrats. John P.
