tor Self-interest to Support the
.Administration.
SALEM, Oct. 30. Ex-Senator John H.
2&itchell delivered an address In the Ar
mory in this city this evening under the
auspices of the local Republican clubs.
Owing1 "to a theavy storm of cold -wind and
raUvnot a very large crowd was present,
but all listened throughout the address
with close attention and frequently Inter
rupted the speaker with applause.
Mc. Mitchell xef erred at length to the
Issues of the various Presidential cami
pagins in which foe has participated on
behalf of the Republican party, begin
ning with the election of Abraham Lin
coln la 1S60, his second election in lbH,
the election of President Grant and Ills
re-election, that of Presidents Hayes.
Garfield and Arthur; to the election of
President Cleveland in 18S4; to the elec
tion and model Administration of Presi
dent Harrison; to the second election ot
President Cleevland and the utter demor
alization of business thalt followed. He
drew -comparisons of he conditions of
the country -under toe Administrations of
President Harrison andr the following Ad
ministration of President Cleveland; re
ferring to the high tide of industrial and
commercial prosperity under the benefi
cent .McKinley tariff act of 1B90; to the
reduction of the National debt during
Harrison's Administration; to the finan
cial crash that followed the re-election
of President Cleveland, the closing or
factories, the vast army of unemployed
at that time; the falling off of our for
eign commerce under the Wilson-Gorman
act, the increase in our National debt of
over $260,000,000; to the election of Presi
dent McKinley In 1893, the repeal of the
Wilson-Gorman act, and the passage of
the Dlngley law; to the present demand
for labor and ithe few unemployed; the
great increase In our export trade, the
Increased value of grain and livestock
and wages. . .
He spoke at length on the issue of
imperialism and expansion, citing the ac
quisition of Louisiana, Florida, Texas,
California, the Gadsden purchase, all un
der Democratic Administrations; also the
acquisition of Alaska under a Republican
Administration. He characterized the cry
of "imperialism" as a false and dishon
est issue, and said that he did not be
lieve that its promoters believed it them
selves; that it was xtot an original ida,
but "the echo of that hurled against Gen,-,
era! Jackson in 11520, against Lincoln In
1864, and against Grant later on. He re-j
ferred to the late -Spanish war, the ratifl
catlon of the itreaty of peace, quoting
from Bryan's speech at Indianapolis, ac
cepting the nomination, as follows: "I
was among those who believed it better
to ratify the treaty and end the "war."
He spoke of the unwarranted Insurrection
of the Tagals, and to ithe constitutional!
tluty of President McKinley to suppress
iJJhat insurrection. He said that our title
to the Philippines, being by treaty -and
purchase, as was Louisiana, Florida,
Alaska, etc, was in accordance with the
principles of International law as recog
nized by every sovereign power of the
world, and cited these acquisitions in
support of the proposition that it was not
jiecessary that the treaty-making powers
should consult the wishes of the inhabi
tants of the Philippines, much less obtain
their consent to the transfer of those
islands from the sovereignty of Spain to
the United States. He referred to the
Ostend manifesto under the Administra
tion of President Pierce, as to the policy
of the Democratic party at that time, in
Teferenco to the acquisition of Cuba from
Spain, quoting from the manifesto itself
as follows: "We shall be justified in
wresting it (Cuba) from Spain if we pos
sess the power, by every law, human and
divine." In referirng to the question of
trusts, Mr. Mitchell spoke in part as fol
lows: Trusts.
33ut, say our opponents, as a new ar
gument against a protective tariff and
in favor of free trade, a tariff breeds
trusts.' This again i a misrepresentation
of fact. The most gigantic monopoly not
only in America, but in the world, to
day Is the Standard Oil Company, and
yet they deal in a product (petroleum)
upon which there is np duty whatever. As
conclusive of the proposition that protec
tion is not a breeder of trusts is tfie
fact -that not only the birthplace of trusts
was in free-trade England, but there also
amid the aroma of free trade have trusts
multiplied and expanded beyond those of
any other country in the world. And
again When it is said that Republicans are
interested in promoting, fostering, build
ing tip and reaping the benefits of gi
gantic trusts, it may be proper to call at
tention to the fact that the sugar trust,
the cattle trust, the tobacco trust, the
ice trust, all among he most gigantic and
oppressive trusts of the country, -were all
promoted and are conducted by leading
representative Democrats."
The Jin lit Innnc Finance.
In closing, Mr. Mitchell spoke as fol
lows: '"While the Democracy have In their
Kansas City platform placed what they
are pleased to term the anti-imperialism
issue' in the forefront, and have an
nounced it to be the- paramount issue of
this campaign. It is believed by most Re
publicans and perhaps by some Demo
crats thart this1 Is in the nature of a
bHd, xuid that after all the real issue
la lhe money question.
"While It ls-a matter of very small im
portance as fo the individual opinion and
attitude on the money question, either
heretofore, now or hereafter, of one who
fa neither In office nor seeking office, nor
fiaalring office at this time, I trust I may
as I crave the good opinion of the
people of this .state who have honored me
so highly in the past be permitted a
word in reference to my past and pres
ent attitude on this question. The Re
publican State Convention of the State
of Oregon, which met in the Spring of
1890, adopted unanimously the following
resolution as a part of the platform of
the Republican party in this state that
year:
Sixth. That, recosnlZlne the fact that the
United States is the greatest silver-producing
country in the -world, and that both grold and
silver were equally the money of the Constitu
tion from the besmntaE of the Republic until
the hostile legislation against silver, -which un
duly contracted the circulating- medium of the
country; and recognising that the great inter
ests of the people demand more money for use
In the channels of trade and commerce, there
fore, we declare ourselves in favor of the free
and unlimited coinage of slher. and denounce
anj attempt to discriminate against silver as
unwise and unjust.
"The Legislature was elected in June
of that year on that platform. Honor
able Binger Hermann was elected to
Congress on the same platform. That
same Legislature in January, 1831,
elected me to the United States Senate.
every Republican in the Legislature vot
ing for me. This was after I had re
peatedly voted in the Senate for the re
monetisation of silver in pursuance ot
what I then believed and still believe to
have been the true construction of the
National Republican platform of 1S88 on
the subject of blmetallsm, and on which
President Harrison was elected. During
my service in the Senate under that elec
tion I obeyed 4h instructions of my
party in my-state. as! regarded them, as
contained in She foregoing resolution, with
this exception, when in the Senate in
16S6 an attempt was made to subordinate J
tariff -QTiestioa to the question of the J
tfree coinage of ,sUVerI vigorously pro
- tested against it, and T both spoke and
voted against jt "both! In tfceiSentorlal
Republican caucus and in the open Sen
ate. .
In 1S90 and 1891 the Votes I cast in the
Senate on the money question were
Identical' with those cast in the House
of Representatlves"iia those years bythe
then Representative -William McKinley,
of Ohio, and by every Republican, in the
United States Senate, with one exception
representing the states west of the "Rocky
Mountains. The Republican ' National
Convention, however, at St. Louis, in
1896, made the following declaration up
on the money question:
We are opposed to the free colriag ofsilver
except by International atreement with the
leading commercial nations of the world, which
we pledge ourselves to promote; and until such
agreement can be obtained the? existing gold
' standard must be preserved.
"This platform of my party I .imme
diately accepted. Had J. nofdone so there
was but, one other thing to do, and that,
was to leave tho Republican party and
join the Democratic party. This I never
had either any Inclination or intention
ot doing. Immediately on the adoption
of the St. Louis platform In 1896. I then
being at Atlantic City, In the State, of
New Jersey, telegraphed to Hon. Sol
Hirsch, then chairman of the Republican
State Central Committee of the State of
Oregon, tendering my .services to the He.
publicans of the state in that campaign,
and stated that I would be in Oregon in
August of that year, ready to enter the
campaign. This I subsequently did, mak
ing my first speech at Woodbura on Sep
tember i, 1895. During that campaign 1
made in all 5B speeches in this state, and
in every one of which I announced my
acceptance of and adherence to the prin
ciples enunciated in that platform. This
I did In the most positive and express
terms in many of those speeches, and by
clear and unquestioned implication in
every one in which I may have omitted
an express statement. That plaftorm
pledged the Republican party and this
Nation to 'the preservation of the then
existing gold standard until an interna
tional agreement for the free coinage of
silver could be obtained with the leading
commercial nations of the world. That
platform further pledged the Republican
party and its candidates to promote such
international agreement."
"What followed? McKinley was elected
President. He immediately. In pursuance
of these instructions and of this pledge,
took the-necessary and proper steps by J
the appointment of a commission com
posed of distinguished men from both po
litical parties the present candidate for
Vice-President on the Democratic ticket,
Adlai Stevenson being one, to confer
with tfie representatives of the leading
commercial nations of the world on the
subject, and what was the result? "Our
distinguished commission, after spending
a year in European capitals, conferring
with Presidents, Emperors, Queens, Lords,.
Ambassadors and Plenipotentiaries with.
powers extraordinary, nnaiiy discoverea
that it would be much easier to organize
a syndicate and raise capital with which
to construct a railroad to Mars than it
would be to bring about an International
agreement for the free coinage of silver.
.But President McKinley had - done his
duty. He and the Republican "party ana
the Republican Administration have faith
fully kept both the platform and their
pledge to the extent of their power, ana
now there is but one thing to be done, by"
every man, woman and child who deBlres
to be "considered a Republican, and that
is whether in the capacity of a private
citizen or a public servant to stand by
and give his unreserved and unqualified
support to the gold standard. A man who
Is not cheerfully obedient to the great
mandates of his party should blush to
profess longer to be a Republican, ana
should at once enroll his name with the
Democracy. And I may, in this connec
tion, say that whatever force there was
in the argument 10 years ago, or even
four years ago, to the effect that the
paucity of circulating"medlum demanded
the remonetlzatlon of silver, has been
completely destroyed and swept away by
the fact tht since 1896 there has been
added to our. gold supply by the; mine,
more than $1,000,000,000 In .gold.
"And I am free to say further, that, un
der existing conditions any attempt, In
my judgment, to reverse the present
financial policy of this country, which is
based on the existing' gold standard, ana
to re-establish blmetallsm, would mate
rially, if not fatally, disturb the present
prosperous condition of our country and
seriously imperil Its best interests. The
constant agitation of the money question
for so many years, was in a large meas
ure a blighting curse to the business In
terests ot this country, irrespective of
any question as to who was right or who
was wrong. And now that it has been
settled by the Republican party, the pre
sumption Is it has been settled right; atia
as the country Is highly prosperous under
that settlement, it Is best for all concerned
to let well enough alone and let It stay
settled.
Four Years of Advancement.
"Never since the birth of the Republic
has it in any period of four years of lt3
history made such marvelous progress In
physical, political and Intellectual devel
opment, as It has In the past four years.'
Never in all Its history, not excepting the
period of the Rebellion, have so many
events of wonderful moment and tremen
dous significance been crowded Into the
same space of time as in the past four
years. Never before has our Republic In
the same length of time made such gigan
tic strides up and along the great ave
nues of material development and Amer
ican civilization.
"The thrill of horror which came like a
thunderbolt from a clear sky when,
through Spain's treachery, the Maine -and
Its 260 brave men went down to death
in the treacherous waters of Havana har
bor, kindled the fires of patriotism in-every
true American heart. The Nation
spoke. The Nation acted. In the distant
isles of .the sea the supreme power of the
Republic was felt in all Its undisputed
primacy, when Dewey and his Brave men
struck that fatal blow the echoes ot
which will reverberate along the avenues
of time, and whose proud story will em
bellish the pages of the historian nntll
the end of the ages. And photographed
upon the unfading and imperishable rec
ord of our country's history will forever
stand to be admired by coming genera
tions the heroic and patriotic acts of our
modern military and naval heroes. All
these risked their lives and many of them,
surrendered up thler lives that liberty
might have a 'foothold and a fighting
chance In the fair Island of, Cuba, and
that Spanish oppression In that beautiful
Isle might forever perish. t
"And in all the days of thts momentous
period, from the date of the declaration Of
war until the ratification of the treaty of
peace, there stood quietly and modestly at
the Nation's helm, but with patriotic de
termination and firmness, guiding and di
recting the ship of state through the
troublous seas of war, and through the
scarcely less troublous seas of diplomacy,
that able, safe, patriotic and conservative
man, William McKinley, the present and
the next President of the United States.
"Nor will the people of this country
soon forget the recent magnificent
achievement of the present Adminlstra
tlbn, which. In co-operation with the, great
powers, rescued the besieged Ministers In
the Chinese capital. The future historian.
will record tnis expedition as tamong the
most wisely planned and' most success
fully executed, as well, as "one of, 'the
grandest diplomatic achievements-of 'this
or any other age. -
Appeal to Stand by the Conntry.
"Will you, fellow-cltlzens, byyour vbt.es
on November 6 next condemn William
McKinley? Will you by your votes In
November say to the world that you dis
approve of his Administration?. Will you
by your votes place the seal of your con
demnation on a. war the holiest that was
ever waged since Ihe beginning of time?
Will you by your votes affirm the dec
laration of the Democratic platform to
tho effect that the war in the Philip
pines, in which the Oregon regiment, led
by our own bravo and patriotic Sum-J
mors, took such 'a conspicuous and' high
ly creditable part, Is a war of criminal
aggression? Will you by your votes say
that the brave men who perished on the
hlllB'of El -Caney, San Juan and Santiago
and in the distant Islands of the. Philip
pines died in. Vain? Will you say to Ore
gon fathers and Oregon mothers that
their brave son? who gave up their pre
cious lives in the Philippines surrendered
them In a worthless cause? Will you by
your votes wipe from the record of
American history one of the grandest
pages ever written, there pages written
in part with a pen dipped in the patri
otic blood of hundreds and thousands of
th6 bravest and best men ever born en
American soil? Will you by your votes
place a brake uon the wheels of phys
ical development, of modern progress and
Christian civilization? Will you by your
votes condemn the policy of protection to
American industries and American labor
that has brought prosperity to your
manufacturers', your farmers, your cattle
and sheeprahsers, your fruitgrow
ers, your lumbermen and your laborers?
Will you hazard and place In peril ti e
present prosperous condition of our coun
try, and invite a return to the business
paralysis and dephression. which hung like
a dark shadow over our country four
years ago? Will you by your votes ruth
lessly and heedlessly, and In direct an
tagonism to the best interests of the Pa
cific Coast, slam 'shut the door against
a trade and commerce of gigantic pro
portions aid immeasurable value, which
now salute you and tender you their
treasures from the rich fields of the
Orient?
"No. To believe that you would do
these things would be to discredit your
good sense, your good judgment, your pa
triotism and your respect for tho brave
soldiers who have given their lives In the
great cause of human liberty and the ad
vancement of American progress and
American civilization.
This Great Nation.
"We are about' to enter upon a new
cerjtqry. -A hew -ra of a higher and
grander civilization beckons us on toward
its bewildering splendors. Today we
stand in the forefront of .the cavalcade
of nations. We are first in commerce,
first in manufactures, first In inventions,
first in agriculture, first in mineral
wealth, first In productive capacity, first

our people, first .in every essential attri

the ever-increasing inventions constantly
emanating from the inventive braics of
our American Inventor, whereby the labor
of the country is measurably performed
by mechanical contrivances, there has
been a steady and corresponding increase
and widening of the avenues of labor,
thus creating new and multiplied condl-'
tUrns,' th result of the American and Re
publican spirit of expansion and modern
development.
"For a continuance of this policy of
expansion, not only In territory rightful

In every department of material develop

pledged todays The policy of the Re
publican party Is protection to home In

SPOKE IN HIS NATIVE TOWN."
Son. O. F. Poxton at Albany Hot
Shot for Democrats.
ALBANY, Or., Oct. 30 Notwithstanding
the steady downpour of rain, Hon. O. F.
Paxton, Republican nominee for Presiden
tial Elector, spoke to a large and enthu
siastic audience at the Courthouse to
night. He was introduced by Dr. W. H.
Davis, chairman of the county central
committee, and spoke for two hours on
the iosues of the campaign." Mr. Paxton' s
was an eloquent, convincing address, and
was 'greeted by frequent applause. "Bry
an's predictions of calamity four years
ago have been proved unfounded," ' he
said.' "He was wrong then and' Is wrong
now. The country has never enjoyed such
widespread and'general prosperity as dur
ing the'past 3 years." The speaker ox
posed Bryan's position on trusts mo3i
forcibly. While denouncing trusts,' he
went to New York Glty, partook of a $12-a-plate
dinner with Croker and Van
Wyck, chief conspirators In the notorious
ice trust,
Continuing, Mr. Paxton said: "Under
the policy of sound money, the rate of
interest was never so low as now, and the
volume of money has increased. The his
tory of the'Unlted States has been one of
expansion. From the original 13 states,
the country has. expanded. by purchase
ana treaty to tne most powerrui -Nation
on earth, and when our flag has floated
over ceded territory it has never been
hauled down, and it will stay in the Phil
lpplnes. Bryan's cry of imperialism in this
campaign is strikingly similar to the at
tacks upon Lincoln in 1S64, and Grant in
1872, when It was solemnly declared that
the Republican party sought to stlbveit
the liberties of the people.
The speaker, who Is a native of Albany,
was warmly congratulated at the conclu
sion of his speech: He returns to Port
land tomorrow. .
PAXTON AT' COTTAGE GROVE.
Speech Will Result in Good for the
Republican Cause.
COTAGE GROVE, Or., Oct 30 Hon. O.
F. Paxton, of Portland, Republican can
dldate-for Presidential Elector, addressed
a large and enthusiastic audience on tho
issues of the campaign at Martin's" Hall
last evening.
Mr. Paxton spoke for nearly two hours.
The conditions four years ago, tho prom
ises and predictions of theUwo parties
then the fulfillment of Republican pledges
and the prosperity resulting, were clnrJy
set forth.- The prophecies of Bryan four
years ago were contrasted with the
actual results. The speaker made It
clear that the Republican party, both by
its platforms an.d by legislation in Ccn
gress, has been and is the consistent
enemy of trusts, and that the talk about
'Mmperiallsm"- is mere pretense, and Is
as groundless as the like charges nnide
against Grant Lincoln and Jackson. He
showed by reference to the purchase of
Louisiana, Florida, California and Alaska
that the United States has never in any
Instance where it purchased territory
deemed It necessary to ask the consent
of the Inhabitants of tho territory pur
chased. Mr, xaxton's address is conceded by
all parties to have done much good for
the Republican cause.
GOVERNOR GEER AT HEPPNEH-
Bryan's Insincerity andL His Party's
Trust Record.' Made Plain.
HEPPNER, Or.Oct, 30. Governor Geer
delivered arable Republican address here
tondght He-was met, at the depot-by a
reception committee anaa delegation of
young 'Republicans under, command of
Captain Ralph Bishop. There was a
torchlight procession, . headed by the
Heppner Symphony Band, and much en
thusiasm was manifested. The Opera
House was crowded. State Central Com
mitteeman QK W.- Phelps presided.
.Governor Qeer: proved that, Bryan was
insincere in his condemnation of the for
eign policy 'of the "Republican party, and
showed his connection with the Treaty
of Paris: The Governor convinced tho
large audience that the only anti-trustj
legislation thai had been passed was the
work of Republicans, and that In tUch
work they were unanimously opposed by
the Democrats. He proved these points
by quotations from 'the actual proceed
ings of Congress as set forth In the rec
ords. Governor Geer clearly traced the cause
of the present ' prosperity of the great
livestock interests of this flection, and
drew a startling picture of what might
be expxected tinder a Bryan Administra
tion. The Governor's- remarks were loud,
ly cheered and heartily indorsed,
AM INTEREST IN CITY ELECTION.
Presidential Contest at Baker City
Relegated to Back Seat.
JBAKER," CITY, Oct. 30. Baker City Is
becoming very excited over the' munici
, pal' election to be held November 5, -par-'
tlcularly in the contest for Mayor. Both
candidates, 'R. D. Carter'and O.-L. Miller,
are widely toiown, and have many friends
hard at work-.
Platforms involve all the principles
usual to a town taking on city propor
tions. GaB contract, lighting ot the city,
sanitary measures, park commission and
many other questions are discussed.
In Baker City, tho Mayoralty contest is
commanding much more- attention than
tho Presidential campaign. The city has
been following tho plan of fining bawdy
and gambling houses each month and
turning 'the revenue Into the city treasury.
A few citizens attack the administration
because of this, and try to secure prom
ises from the two candldaes on the sub
ject. By far the large majority of citlzena
seem to favor allowing such places to run,
under proper supervision, and' -devoting
revenue derived frorn them to city ex
penses. . i
Six Councilmen are to be elected, and in
one or two of the wards there are several
candidates. Four of the Councilmen re
tire because of expiration of their term,
and two will be chosen to fill vacancies
In unexpired terms.
In Baker -City, the municipal election
will bring out as strong a, vote November
5 as the Presidential election the1 day following.

If It were office he sought it' was to ilsb

to expansion. -He said in'partv
"I am an expansionist I cannot sup

Wood, of Portland spoke here last 'night
to a political gathering. His address was
2 hours long, but did not contain any
new or striking arguments. His main
theme was anti-expanslbn. On the money
question, he said he favored the gold
standard, and read a report by Secretary

Coach Knarsbnrg'a Opinion.
EUGENE, Oct 29 The University has
been defeated in football on 'the home
field sevoral v times in recent' years, but
never before was the result so unsatisfac
tory. The team think that the game not
onlyvwas unfair, but that reports In vari
ous papers are highly prejudiced. The
men say they never before participated
in a-game that was such a travesty of
pure sport. They are willing to accept
defeat 'buthey "are not willing to be
silent In regard to acts which they regard
as highly unsportsmanlike. Unfair de
cisions are only one chapter of the atory,
for they allege the conduct of the visi
tors in the contest was a violation not
merely of football etiquette but of foot
ball ethics They do not want to be un
derstood as protesting against, the out
come, because they are willing .to prove
the worth of the, team otherwise. But
they say they cannot let the occasion go
by without protesting against the meth
ods "the Salem eleven employed to wrn
the game. .
Coach Kaarsburg considers, the score of
minor Importance, and looks to. the bene
fits his men acquired from the contest
His eleven learned several valuable lea
sons which Will greatly Improve the' team
work. He siid:
' "I am highly pleased with the show
ing our eleven mode. I expected them
to win, but I am not, surprised that they
failed to' do so" against" such weight. The
Salem line averaged 20 pounds heavier
than ours. The sloppy field and several
unfair decisions defeated us. Smith cer
tainly made a touchdown In' the first
half, and tfhe Salem men sneaked the ball
back over the line." That was the dirtiest
trick I ever sow on a football field.
"Salem scored on tho fourth down. The
score should have been five to nothing,
with the nothing on Salem's side. I don't
think the rotten decisions wer,e lntert
tional, but we played in hard luck. I son
proud of the Oregon team, and I think
they can play ball with anything 'their
size in the country."

DESPERATE ATTACK BY- FOUB.
ITALIAN MINERS.
Two Are Dead, One I Fatally
Wounded 'and One Is In Jail
Pay Cleric Was Killea.
MOUNT PLEASANT, Pa.. Oct- SO.
Four Italian miners attempted to rob Pay
Clerk William Hostler, of the Southwest
Connellsville Coke Company, while he was
making his trip today between this city
and Alverton with the payroll of the Al
vertom & Tarr Works, amounting to $i0Q0.
Mr. Hostler Is dead, his companion, Harry
Burgess, messenger of the company, is
wounded, two of the Italians are dead, a
third fatally wounded, and the fourth Is in
jail.
Hostler and Burgess left this city at 1
o'clock this afternoon with the safe con
taining the money. When they reached
the summit of the long hill just below
which lies Alverton, a large coke town,
without a second's warning four Italians
fired a volley from their hiding-place, and
sprang 'forward, firing as they advanced.
Mr. Hostler fell dead at the first volley.
Young Burgess, the wounded man, was
able to return the robbers' fire with ef
fect and one of the number at the horses'
heads fell dead. A few seconds; later he
fired his revolver In the face of another,
and as the thief fell his two remaining
companions became terrified, and, leaving
the dead one, set out with the wounded
one over the hill to the south.
Burgess managed to drive on to Alver
ton with the body of Mr. Hostler and the
safe, where he gave the alarm. Mount
Pleasant and vicinity, with the clerical
force of the coke company, turned out
and soon corralled the two, who had con
cealed themselves In a field on the Durs
tlne farm, a mile from this town. A sum
mons to surrender was answered by a
volley, In which one of the posse received
a slight wound in the ches.t Tho outlaws
from their fortified position ma.de a flerco
qtand for a few minutes, until one of the
posee succeeded in getting In their rear.
He shot one through the head, killing
him. The other surrendered. In the
meantime, another division of . the posse
overhauled the third robber, who .had re
ceived a ghastly wound. The ball, enter
lnsxhis mouth,'-pentrated his t head, jmd
came out at, the, back' of his neck.) He is
noiexpected to recover.
'ROSSIiYN FERRELIi GUILTY.
Murder In the- First Degree, tne
Jury's Verdict.
MARYSVILLB, O., Oct. 30.-The jury at
midnight returned a verdict of murder
in the first degree without recommenda
tion against Rosslyn Ferrell for the mur
der, the night of August 10 last, of Charles
Lane, an express messenger, on the Pan
handle eastbound train. The murder was
committed for the purpose of robbery.
Forrell secured J1000 In money from the
safo of tho Adams Express Company.
The verdict carries with it the death pen
alty, which is electrocution. The delib
erations of the jury occupied six hours
and 30 minutes, and the verdict was
reached at 11:40 o'clock tonight. When
the indictment was read Ferrell appeared
to be taken by surprise and his face
flushed. This was the first visible sign
of emotion that had been shown by him
during the trial, but he quickly regained
his composure and was led back to his
cell without having uttered a word.
It was stated today that Ferrell told
the Sheriff that if he were sentenced for
life he would not be here very long.
Every precaution has been taken to pre
vent the prisoner frqm committing sui
cide. Ferrell required the services of a
physician last night and appeared In
court in a pitiable condition this morning.
When Hon. R, S. Cameron resumed his
argument for the defense this morning,
he dealt largely with the insanity claim.
After having spoken three hours and a
half, he concluded with -a plea for a
mercy clause In the verdict. Prosecutor
Robinson made the closing argument for
the state. He claimed the prisoner was
responsible for his acts and asked the
court to charge the Jury that the mercy
clause In the first-degree verdict could
not take away the pardoning power from
the Governor, that being a constitutional
privilege.
Alvord Arraigned.
NEW YORK, Oct SO. Cornelius L. Al
vord, Jr., the embezzling note teller of
the First National Bank, who was ar
rested yesterday In Boston, was arraigned
In Police Court here today. Fisher A.
Baker, counsel for the First National
Bank, said thit he had secured a war
rant from the United States District
Court for Alvord's arrest under the laws
regarding embezzlement and making falso
entries. He said he would much prefer
that tho prisoner go before United States
courts for trial. This was opposed by
District Attorney Gardiner. Alvord's at
torney apparently took little interest in
this part of the proceedings. After some
discussion the whole matter went over
until tomorrow. Alvord was committed
to the Tombs. It appears probable that
there may be a long contest as to juris
diction, District Attorney Gardiner ap
parently being determined that the prison
er shall be tried in a state court
The Rice Investigation.
NEW YORK, Oct 30 There was a
brief conference today in the District At

THE MARINE CORPS.
General Heywood's Report on tho
Looting: in China.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 30. The report of
Brigadier-General Heywood, commanding
the United States Marine Corps, has been
made public by the Navy Departament
Its most interesting features are those
covering the operations of the United
Stages marines in China, including- the
heroic defense of the legations at Pekln
and the march of the marines on Tien
Tsin, which have been fully described
heretofore. General Heywood submits the
following account of the taking of a con
siderable amount of bullion in the siege
of Pekln:
"In a communication dated July 18, 1900,
Colonel Meade refers to the looting which
has been going on in Tien Tsln. He stated
that the treasury had been ransacked, but
that all the vaults were not looted, and
Major Waller, with a force, is searching
for the treasure. The treasure, wbtch
consisted principally of silver bullion fused
with brick mortar and other debris, was
recovered from the ruins of thealt Com
missioner's Yamun, which had been looted
and burned before tho marines arrived on
the spot.
"A board consisting of Major Waller ana
Assistant Paymaster, Richards, Captain
M. J. Shaw and C. H. C. Holler (an
v vv m?Ttnr a
N. K. F&lrfo&nk Company, Chicago; at.
t
American agent in the Tien Tsln office
of J. P. Morgan & Co.. of New York),
was authorized to appraise the value of
the DuHtori. The' bullion was counted' by
thi3 -board, fthlch estimated ita value at
5375,300; "United States currency. It haa
been the'lntentloit to deposit the treasure
for safe keeping with the Hong" Kong and
Shanghai Barak, but the vaulta of this
bank would not accommodate It,, and it
was therefore removed to the premises of
this bank under the supervision of tho
officers of the First Regiment of Marint3
and placed under guard there.'
General Heywood says that the bullion
was exchanged for three New York drafts,
which have been forwarded by Paymaster
Bryan, of the Navy, to the Secretary of
the Navy.
The remainder of the report deals with
tho work of the corps during the past
year, and with the condition of its posts
in various part3 of the country and in for
eign stations.
