L0RD4 .DURHAM'S COMPLAINT
Approved by Moat of the English
Horsemen at Newmarket.
- LONDON, Oct 25. Lord Durham's let
ter to the Times, in which he
says he never condemned the "style"
of American riding or American
training, that on the contry, he
shared in the respect which all New
market trainers feel for the character
and ability of Messrs. Hugglns and Pin
cus. but that he disapproved the "meth
ods' of the American Jcckeys, and did I
not welcome the influx of their follow
ers, " who' consider horse racing merely
an instrument for high gambling, is ap
proved by most" of the great supp:rt2rs
of the English turf who are gathered at
Newmarket, from the Prince of "Wales
down. ' "
Disapprobation is stamped me h-
ods of the small coterie l .&r can
Jockeys, who with their Amenta back

more scrupulous countrymen. "While the
stewards of the Jockey (jlub decline to
discuss the Incident Lord Willi .m Beres
ford. Prince Soltykoff, Lord Clonmel. Sir
TValdle Griffith, Mrs. Langtry and other
noted patrons of the turf, take Lord
Durham's view.
"It is clear," said Lord Clonmel, "that
there Is no prejudice whatever in Eng
land against fair riders, wherever they
are from. It is also clear that all lovers
of sport support Lord Durham's otserva
tlons regarding obnoxious methods."
Lord Clonmel and others were careful
to discriminate between fair American
, riders and "'unteir riders." The fact that
the Prince of Wales lias -engaged Tod
Sloan for next year has done much
to quiet the talk on the subject Sloan
and Martin haye made no reply to Lord
Durham.
Marcus Daly's representative said:
"There is no desire in England to bar
American riders, but things have oc
curred among the followers of some of
the American jockeys which have come
near ruining a London hotel, and wuld
In time disgrace the Americans appearing
on the English turf."

sionary organization. Bishop Partridge,
of Japan, read a letter from the Episco
pal bishop of Shanghai, In which the fol
lowing occurred:
"What we feel worst about Is the ut

Hung Chang as peace negotiator, after
he said to Consul Goodnow that so long
as the Ministers were safe the lives of
the missionaries were of "no account."
He continued by charging that Minister
"Wu, at Washington, had done much harm,
and accusing him of plausible misrepre
sentations.. "And the Americans," the
letter added, "seem to delight to believe
him." The letter ended by saying that at
the present time "they were all cheering
for Emperor "Wllilam, who seemed to be
the only man who had the courage to
take n firm stand for the rights of Euro
peans In China."
A pointed debate was precipitated by
Bishop Brook, of Oklahoma, Introducing
a4 resolution, which was voted' down, pro
viding that the board of managers for
missions return to all missionary dioceses
the withheld 20 per cent of the allotment
which the board of managers decided last
May to- take away from the missionary
dioceses, by decreasing it 20 per cent each
year lor five years.
The council adopted a resolution re
Questing the general convention to give
the House of Bishops permission to conse

come under the protection of the United
States.

EFFET OF FREE SILVER
SECRETARYjGAGE POINTS OUT THE
DISTRESS THAT WOULD FOLLOW. "
Sjpeceh at Brooklyn Last Wight
Bryan Xfikng theVanlc Old 3Ms-
lending; Phrases.
NEW YORK, Oct. 25. The Academy of
Music, In Brooklyn, was crowded to the
doors tonight "by people who came hfefe to
hear Secretary Lyman J. Gage 6H the
campaign issues. The" nieeting was Held
under the .auspices of the BrcoKlyn Youtig
Men's Republican Club. Soth Low, presi
dent of Columbia College, alio spoke. Sec
retary Gage's reception was most hearty
He said, in part:
"The Democratic" champion, still aver3
that on this question the party stands
whore it did in 18S6. He docs not tilk
about it so much, but when he does talk
about it he uses the same misleading
phrases as of old. For instance, he has
repeatedly said: 'The Republican Admin
istration under McKlnley Is coining silver
every day in' the month' and every month
in the j'ear at the ratio of 16 to 1. If
that is not the correct ratio, why do they
do It
"Mr. Bryan knows why, but he conceals
the reason and allows his Hearers to draw
erroneous conclusions. The statement, to
far as It goes, Is true. In 1878 a measure
passed Congress directing the Secretary
of the Treasury to buy 2,000.000 .ounces
per month and coin into 'standard dol
lars.' .But mark this: The coinage was to
be for the Government and on Govern
ment account and not on private account
for the benefit of holders of bullion. In
1S90 the Sherman law was passed, which
directed the Secretary to buy not lO'S
than 4,500.000 ounces of silver and to coin
not less than 2,000,000 ounces a month,
That act also declared It to be the policy
of the Government to maintain these dol
lars on a parity with gold. In 1593 the
purchasing clause of the Sherman law
was repealed. Since that time the m'nts
have In truth been engaged In coining ,up
the purchased bullion. But mark this:
Through the law, and by the operation, of.
the Treasury, the dollars have been kept
equal to gold. They are paid out only by
the Government and against the receipt
by the Government of an equal amount
In. gold, or In service rendered, or goods
bought. "With, the Government's guaran
tee of parity, and the quantity limited. Jt
is manifestly an Indifferent circumstance
whether the ratio were 16 to 1. TO to 1, or
5 to L And yet Mr. Bryan, deftly Insin
uates that this practice justifies free coin
age for everybody at that ratio wltroiit
any guarantee of equality with gold from
anybody.
"Would the free coinage of silver and
the consequent adoption of the silver
standard In our domestic affairs "have the
effect predicted? Would it deprive the
wage-earner of one-half his present re
ward? I have no more doubt of the truth
of It than I have doubt that grapes grow
grapes or that thistles grow thistles.
"You can, see It for yourself If you will
really try. Give attention now. IHs not
difficult It is simple. You work for pay.
In what are you paid? You will say. 'In
money.' That Is true, but the money Is
only an Intermediary to that In which you
are really paid, viz., things that you u?e
and consume. The value of your work Is
measured finally by what your work will
procure. You are paid J2 per day, In gold
or Its equivalent. Two dollars will buy a
sack of flour, a pair of sh.oes, dr 10D0
pounds of coal, and so on. The value of
your labor Is, therefore, equal to tlie
value of a sack of flour, a pair of shoes,
1000 pounds of coal, or what not. '
"Now, ahiong other things your labor
pay will buy is silver. "With $2 of the
money in which you are 'paid you can buy
1600 grains of silver bullion. That quantity
of silver bullion has" its exchangeable
value 'all over the world. In our market"
1C00 grains of silver are equal in value to
a sack of flour a pair of shoes, or KO)
pounds of coal. In other words, your la
bor pay and 1G00 grains of silver are
equivalent to each other In, their power
to command those things that minister
to the comfort and happiness of your
selves and your families.
"Let us now exemlne the free-3ilver
proposition. It is simply this: Open the
mints to everybody. Permit the owners
of silver to bring in 371H grains of ilver.
Stamp It one dollar and give It back to
them. Clothe that dollar with legal-tender
quality, so that It may be lawfully used
to pay debts. That is all. It is simple
enough, isn't it? But we know that one
dollar of our present kind of money the
money In which you are paid your sala
ries and your wages is worth, not 3"1
grains, but more than 8C0 grains. "Would
you not rather have the equivalent of ?00
grains for your pay than the equivalent
of 371 grains?
"And yet, if you consent to the free-silver
programme, if Bryan and his Demo-cratlc-Popullstlc-Silveristlo
supporters
come Into power, that programme will be
uuopiixi. ana you mevuauiy get your pay
In the new dollars containing 3714 grains
of fine silver. Before you vote for this
sort qt business be wise enough to get a
stipulation from your employers that you
shall then be paid, as you are now paid,
In something equivalent to 800 grains of
silver. If you do not do so. you will get
the equivalent of only 37H4 grains for
every dollar paid you. Can you afford n.'
"But they will tell you that these new
-dollars, containing 371U grains will be as
valuable then as 800 grains are now. They
will tell you thr.t a dollar Is a dollar, and
tha"t free coinage will bring the value of
the bullion up to Its coinage value. So that
then 371 grains will be worth a dollar.
Three hundred and seventy-one and one
fourth grains In silver bullion will be in
deed worth one of the new silver dollars,
because with that number of grains you
can gqt one of the new dollars, and one of
the pew dollars will be worth 371 grains
of silver, because there are Just 871
grains in it; but the question the ques
tion in which you are Interested Is this:
What will be the value of that dollar
when paid to me In wages, compared with
the dollar In which I am now paid? You
know the value of your present dollars.
Are you prepared to guarantee to your
selves and to your families that these
now proposed dollars will be of equal or
even of approximate .value? No, gentle
men, you cannot afford to do so. Take
the risk of such an empty chance If you
will, but when the hour of your grief
and disappointment shall come, as come
It surely will, then blame yourselves; but
absolve tl:p Republican party from any
responsibility for the adversities you will
suffer.
"But the Democratic orators will tell
you th-'t what I am saying Is the voice
of the oankor, rnd that the banker has
a special intercr: in the gold standard;
that sold is the rich man's money and
sliver Is ..he rcor man's, and other rot of
tnat klnO. I want to speak a moment of
the "banker's position. I want to show
you, as I readily can, that the banker, if
he had regard only for an immediate and
lU-gotten profit, would himself advocate
the free-coinage measure of the Demo
crats. Let's see how he could make it
serve his profit.
"Assume that the free-coinage law
would be operative lr two years. Know
ing this, the banker, having, say, $500,000
in deposit. ould buy at the present mar
ket prlce.isay, 1.000.000 Mexican dollars, or
an amount of silver equal thereto in
bullion, each one a little heavier and a
little finer than the proposed silver dol
lars. The mint being opened, he could
take his 1,000,000 Mexicans to the mint
and receive In return 1,014(000 of the new
American dollars. With these In hand,
and they being legal tender, he could pay
off hl3 deposits with 500,000 of the coins
and keep 518.C00 of them as the reward
of his shrewdness. His real profit would
not be $518,000. They would be cheap
-dollars, aa, compared with gold dollars,
would possess but half their purchasing'
power; so we must divide the J518.0Q0 by
two, which drives him a ne gold; profit
of $2S7,C0Cf on the transaction. Yo'u will
Of JHB.000 on the transaction You will
ask1, "then, why with such possibilities be
fore thesa, the bankers, oppose the meas
ure. I fflll lell and tell you truly. It is be
cause they foresee, as every one who Un
derstands the matter must foresee, that
with the adoption of the measure gold
would disappear Into private hoards; the
reserves of the banks, n6w largely in gold,
would be drawn out: they would be forced
to contract their loans; ,a general and ex
hauslng liquidation would take place;
mershants'and manufacturers would fall,
and in .the gencal wreck and ruin the
banker would not escape. But do not
flatter yourselves that you would be ex
empt from the general disaster. Shops
and factories would be closed; a sharp
halt would be called on all enterprises;
labor would go Into idleness: wages
would be reduced, and general misery
realized. There would be a resurrection,
no doubt Our country Is too great its
x'esources too manifold, to long remain
in. bankruptcy and idleness. With the
old wrecks cleared away, we would be
gin again. The new silver money would
be the moriey standard, nd the common
medium of exchange, and after Inconceiv
able disaster .we would' have the chronic
condition of a fluctuating currency now
enjoyed ih our neighboring republic,.

"Don't let us worry about the alleged

"But Mr. Bryan waves this, all aside.
He says that sentiments are superior to

RIOTING IfEAR MONTREAL.
Clash -BetTVO en Militia nnd Strikers
' , Bfkny "Were Hurt.
MONTREAL, Oct. 25. Over a score
were wounded, one fatally, lii a conflict
between militia and strikers at Valley
Field, Quebec, today.
Two hundred men employed by' the
Montreal Cotton Company on the foun
dations of a nevj mill went out on strike
yesterday, demanding an Increase of 25
cents a day In their pay. The company
refused to deal with the union. The
strikers prevented ' the company from
shipping . goods and t$day held up the
company's coal pile. The local police
were powerless. The company had to
have coal or shut down. Consequently, a
message was sent to Montreal asking for
military assistance. It arrived at Valley
Field at 4:30 .o'clock this afternoon and
consisted of tiro companies of the Royal
Scots. The 'embargo on the' coal pile
was 'promptly raised. -f--r-"''
At dusk a big crbwaV composed of'stf'k
ors and their sympathisers, gathered,
and there was every evidence of trouble.
About 8:80 the mob gathered near the
Empire mill and began throwing stopfft
through tho windows and otherwise 'mIo
stroying property. The" troops charged
the mob with fixed bayonets. They were
driven back. Eight of their number were
wounded, two of them seriously. The
strikers had 15 men Injured, one fatally.
Reinforcements were then asked from
Montreal and 300 men, with medical as
sistance, left, expecting to arrive at Val
ley Field about 2 A. M.
THE IRON TRADE.
Many Orders Placed, Conditional on
McKlnley's Election.
CLEVELAND,' a. Oct. 25.-rhe Iron
Trade Review this week says:
"With thef-electlon so close at hand. It
might be assumed that buying of Iron and
steel would wait on the actual announce
ment of the result. As a matter of fact,
there has been an active market in the
past week, -finished material being in larg
est demand, while plg-lron In some selling
centers has been moro active than In re
cent weeks. The placing of oontracts with
the proviso that they be canceled in case
the result Is unfavorable to business, or,
more specifically, la against the Admin
istration, has been a feature of the week's
business. Many buyers, also, satisfied
of the election outcome, are evidently
placing their orders in the belief that
demand will Increase promptly on the an
nouncement of the result, and that the
result on some materials, at least, will be
higher prices." . '

for the transportation of troops and
freight between the United States and

has been confined to cruising the waters
of Tampa and Porto Rico. They are too
small for use as regular troopships be

SECRETARY HAY'S REPLY.
PREPARING HIS ANSWER TO ANGLO-GERMAN
PROPOSAL.
Conger Anthorlned to Begin Negotia
tions at Once- With the
' Chinese Envoys.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 25. Tho State De
partment today received notice from the
British Government of tho terms of the
agreement reached by Great Britain cni
Germany as to China. This is similar at
all points to the copy furnished by the
German Government through Count De
Quadt, several days ago. The State De
partment now will prepare Its answers,
which, as already Indicated In those dis
patches, will deal with the points likely
to be acceptable to the other goe n
ments, leaving the third paragraph f.r
further consideration.
Minister Conger has teen autho.lzed by
his Government to begin negotiations at
once with the Chinese envoys on the ba
sis of the German and French notes, upon
which all the powers are agreed. Upon
these, points where divergence of vitws
exists .the governments of the powers
themselves will negotiate with a view to
reaching a further understanding. It Is
understood the ministerial repressntatlves
at Pekln of the other powers have similar
Instructions, but whether they have or
not Minister Conger is not to be re
strained. The bulletin statement that Germany
has agreed to Japan's proposals that
peace negotiations with China ihill, for
the present, be entrusted to the foreign
representatives at Pekln, Is regarded hero
as an Indication that Germany has taken
similar action In the case of Minister
Mumm von Schwarzensteln.
Some surprise Is expressed here at the
Insistence by some of the powers upon a
settlement of the question of the suffi'en
cy of credentials of the Chinese tnvoys
at this point. It Is stated that It Is the
Invariable practice In peace negotiations
to allow the plenipotentiaries themselves
to pass upon the credentials of the en
voys, which Invariably Is deferred until
the first meeting of the plenlpotntlarles.
Copies have been received here cf thi
publication of the British Blue Book on
the uprising In China. Although lsrued
some time ago, It gives much of the diplo
matic correspondence not heretofore made
public, and up to the imperial edict ex
plaining the murder of Baron Von Ket
teler. The dispatches of tho British Minister
at Pekln to Lord Salisbury show that a
naval demonstration was recommended ns
far back as March 10, the American, French
and other Ministers joining in the Identi
cal recommendation. It was not favora
bly received, however, and the position of
the United States Is shown by a state
ment by the British Ambassador at Paris
to M. Delcnsso to the effect that the
United States was not likely to join In the
demonstration. Later In May another
naval demonstration was proposed, but
was not carried out.
The British Ambassador recites with
great minuteness the details of his call
on the Tsung 11 Yamun, when he was ac
companied by Mr. Conger, Baron Von
Ketteler and Hhe other Ministers, giving
the earnest representations made by Mr.
Conger at that time on the gravity of the
situation and the need for strong action
by the Chinese authorities. At one point
In the negotiations, a British Consul In
China" advised the Foreign Office that LI
Hung Chang and the Southern Viceroys
were ready to refuse further recommen
dation of the authorities at Pekln. Con
'trary to general Impression It appears
from ' the correspondence that Russia
gave her adherence to Japan sending a
large emergency" forde' .Into China, and
that the obstacle Interposed came from
p Germany.
Tne exenanges Between tne powers taxe
a very wide range, covering lnextenpo
the points which have been brought out
from time to time as the trouble pro
ceeded. "What Hay Will Demand.
NEW YORK, Oct. 25. In his response
to the British and German Governments
regarding the Anglo-German agreement,
says the Herald's Washington corre
spondent, Secretary Hay Is likely to make
another effort to Induce all the powers
to Join In an agreement for the mainte
nance of the Integrity of China and the
preservation of the "open door." It Is
believed at Washington that France and
Russia will not decline to Join In such a
declaration, and In view of the Anglo
German reiteration of the principles of
the Integrity of China and the "open
door," the London and Berlin Govern
ments could hardly avoid assenting to
such a proposal. Italy and Austria,
whloh have assented to the Anglo-German
agreement, would of course follow
the lead of the German Emperor.
SOUTHERN BOXERS.
Organizing to Drive Foreigners Out
of China.
HONG KONG, Oct 25. Advices from
Lien Chau, on North River, say that
American mission property there Is
threatened with destruction by Boxers,
who have posted the following proclama
tion: "We have organized to protect our
country and our homes, and we rely upon
one another to support the order to drive
out the foreign devils. They are mad.
Their folly passes description. They are
the usurpers of our land. They disturb
oiir borders. In all tho provinces and
prefectures chapels have been opened,
and 'our people are deceived, ripped open
and disemboweled, while the foreigners
grow fat on the revenues of China, In
sulting our officials and merchants and
seizing our temples and palaces. The
Emperor is indulgent, and permits this.
Who can foretell the Intention of the
foreign devils? Day by day they act
more outrageously. When we behold the
present condition of affairs, our hearts
are bruised with grief. Therefore, we
have organized our strength to destroy
the devouring wolf throughout the em
pire." The Boxers took the American Presby
terian mission buildings, but have not de
stroyed them The rebellion Is spreading
along East.RIver and North River, in the
Province of Kwang SI. It Is supposed to
be aimed at the overthrow of the Manchu
dynasty, but the reports are so contra
dictory that It Is next to Impossible to
form a lucid Impression. In Canton the
Chinese officials are taking the Insurrec
tion so lightly that foreigners believe It
will be very difficult to suppress.
BRITISH AT PAO TING FU.
General Gaselee Reports the Rescue
of Foreigners.
LONDON, Oct. 25. The following dis
patch from General Gaselee, the com
marider of the troops at Pao Ting Fu.
has been received by the Secretary of
State for India. Lord George Hamilton:
"Pao Ting Fu, Oct. 20. The allied
troops under my comma! arrived here
yesterday. British, French, German and
Italian guards have been, posted at the

which they arranged for the allotment of

Olu-fasioBil Training1
Its Strong and Weak Points
The strong point of the oId-fashfon:d f
.training was the stress laid upon mo al
lty and virtue. "Be good and you'll be
happy," was tho common precept set be
fore the growing child. But as the girl
grew up to maidenhood she was often
sorely puzzled to reconcile those pi?t
teachings with her present condition. S o
was good. Her soul was pure as thi
lilies of her garden. Her heart was un
dented. And yet she was desperately un
happy by reason of physical ailments
common to women.
This was the weak side of old-fashioned
training: It Ignored the needs and re
quirements of the body. All Us effort was
to guide the heart and mind. The tody
might stumble along anyhow, and It gen
erally dd.
Many a sweet-faced, modest-mlndd
young girl has had her first doubts of th-
goodness of Providence come In through
the door of physical suffering.
"Why am I condemned to suffer in this
way?" she asks. "Why does my back
ache? Why does my head throb and my
side pain, so that I am fain to creep away
into a darkened room and forego the
pleasure which belongs to my season of
life?"
NO ANSWER COMES
As a rule to these questions. The -young
woman looks around and sees scores of
similar sufferers. She Is told It Is a part
of the burden laid upon women, and she
shapes her shoulders to her heavy load.
This Is all a mistake. Proper training,
proper physical care, would many times
prevent these miserable conditions. But
In any case, however distressing the pres
ent condition, .It can be cured by the use
of Dr. Pierce'3 Favorite Prescription, If
It is a disease curable by medicine.
"I write a few lines to thank you for
your advice and grand remedies, to which
I owo my health, and perhaps my life,"
says Miss Flora I. Greer, of 107 Howe
street, Akron, Ohio. "My trouble started
during my childhood, but did not prove
serious until 1893, when I met with an
accident caused by a horse running
away. From that time I did not see a
well day: I suffered at every t monthly
period with terrible headache, Irritation
of the spine and pains In my heels so I
could not bear them resting on the softest
pillow. What I suffered pen could never
describe. I had soreness through my hips
and ovaries all the time and constant
backache. Was afraid to be alone. Im

everything looked like a mountain. One

HART 15 PESSIMISTIC.
He Says the Boxer Agitation Will
Continue for Years.
LONDON, Oct. 26. Sir Robert Hart, Director-General
of the Chinese Imperial
Maritime, Customs, In an article In the
November number of tho Fortnightly Re
view, takes a pessimistic view of the Chi
nese situation. He frankly declares his
opinion to be that the Boxer movement
Is "national and patriotic; has taken hold
of the Chinese imagination and will
spread like wildfire throughout the length
and breadth of the empire. There Is not
the slightest doubt" he says, "that 50
years hence there will be millions of Box
ers In serried ranks and war s panoply at
the call of the Chinese Government."
Discussing the alternative courses open
to the powers, Sir Robert sees a very real
"yellow peril" ahead and nothing of a
permanent solution.
The morning papers, dealing editorially
with Sir Robert Hart'3 article, admit Its
Importance, but consider that his views
are too gloomy, and that his Ideas of the
Boxer movement are a phantom of a too
sensitive Imagination.
M. Pichon's Condition.
PARIS, Oct 25. The Foreign Office has
heard directly from M. Plnchon, the
French Minister at Pekln. He has been
111 with typhoid fever, but is Improving.
He was never so ill as to be unable to
oversee the affairs of tho legation. It Is
believed he will be able to attend the
sessions of the Ministers In a week.
The French Consul at Hankow cables
that he has secured protection for the
missions and Christians In Shen SI Prov
ince. Fearing that the court's presence
there may cause an antl-forelgn outbreak,
the Consul notified the Viceroy that a
hostile attitude would result In breaking
all the peace negotiations on the part of
the powers. The Viceroy thereupon se
cured the Issuance of "an imperial decree
making death tho penalty for any antl
forelgn disturbers of tho peace.
