THE MINLEY LAWN
A Scene That Revived Mem
ories of Four Years Ago.
THE PRESIDENT WAS SERENADED
Be Hade a Brief Speech to Ills Can
ton Neighbors, the First of
the Present Catnpnlcn.
CANTON, O., Nov. 5 The McKlnlcy
Intra, as In the campaign of 1SSS, was
tonight the scene of an enthusiastic dem
onstration similar to that which closed
the campaign four years ago. The Presi
dent was prevailed upon to depart from
bis rule, which in the face of much pres
sure has been Inflexible a'.l through the
campaign, and he made a short address
to his neighbors and fellow-townsmen,
free from partisanship, but apropos of
the election tomorrow. He also Intro
duced Judge Day for a short speech from
the famouK front porch.
The cccaslsn wa? an unadtertl'cd and
unannounced se.enade by the Grand jrmy
band, with several thousand people rol
lowlng the band with loud cheers and
hurrahs and a glare of red fire tha Illu
minated the whole scene about the Mc
Klnley house. The band appeared upon
the streets some time after dark, and the
report that the President was to be sere
naded spread like wildfire. First a score
fell In behind the band, then another
score, then hundreds, and finally, by the
time the McKlnlcy home was reached,
thousands. Somewhere no one knows
how a supply of red nre and torches was
secured, and they were burning at their
height when the cheers of the crowd
around the house drowned the music of
the band. Two or three selections were
played In the street In front of the house,
and then the band was Invited to the
front of Mrs. McKInley's parlors for an
other selection. After each number there
wore calls for the President, and fina'ly
he appeared on the porch. He bowed to
the crowds in front of him and to his
right and to his left, amid deafening
cheers. There weie calls for a rp:ech.
and some one pulled frcm the vwitlbule
'of the house a relic of the campaign of
four years ago a Tennessee stump with a
polished top and engraved emblem,
brought here by a Tcnn ssee d legatl n
The President stood uron this an3 soks
as follows:
"My Fellow-Citizens: I am very glad
to greet you once more at my old home.
xnis is not a year when I am making
speeches. Tomorrow, from one end of
this vast country to the other, the Amer
ican people will spoak. (A voice: "For
McKInley." Tremendous and long-continued
cheers) "Vo must wait revarent'.y
and In patience for their verdict. I know
you will be glad to heara word from our
fellow-townsman. Judge William Day,
who has held a conspicuous place In the
Administration over which you called me
to preside In 18&4. I thank you and bid
you good-n gh" (Tremend-us app'ause.)
When the President mentirnod the name
of Judge Day there was another enthusi
astic ovation, and the Judge was con
stantly interrupted bV applause while he
spoke.

thoritative sources it is learned that Sir
Thomas -visit was for the purpose of sign.
Ing oontracts for the building of tha
yacht. These have beon placed with the
Hendersons, Meadowsldc Yard, the build
ers of the Thistle, the three Valkyries, the
Brlttannla, the Meteor and the Sybarlta.
The date specified In the contracts for
the handing over of the vessel Is March
SO. The framework will be laid down this
weok. The greatest precautions are btlng
taken to preserve secrecy regarding the
design. A footpath along the banks of
the CyMe. which skirts the Hendersons'
yards is already closed.
As to the plans of the sailing of the
defender of the cup, what E. A. Wll ard.
the manager of the new boat, may do
In the matter of selecting a skipper re
mains to be seen. "Charley" Barr. the
successful sailing master of the Columbia,
will be disengaged at the end of the year.
Barr brought the Vigilant back from
England in 1F96, and was on that yacht
during her trial races with the Defender.
Mr. Wlllard Is well acquainted with Cap
tain Barr's ability aa a sailing master qf
cup boats. There Is another rumor about
skippers. It is that Captain "Bob"
Wrlnge, the sailing master of Vlce-Com.
modore Belmonts 70-footer Mlneola last
season, will be the sailing master of the
Columbia while she Is being used as a
trial boat for the new defender. Also
that when the time rolls around to put
the Columbia In commission. C. Oliver
Iselln will be found to be again in charge.
It Is now almost a certainty that the
new defender vrlll be plated with bronze,
says a Journal and Advertiser dispatch
froraPnu-Jdyipe. It Is known that the
Hrfeh6frs flro purchasing that metal.
They have experimented with various
metals for tensile and torsional strength
and none has been found so satisfactory
to Captain at s mind as a
smooth i
bronze which successfully resists corro
sion and presents the minimum of fric
tion with the maximum of lightness and
durability.
Captain Nat spent a large part of last
week In his private shop at home, and
it is understood he has completed his
medel of the defender, and reduced many
of his plans to writing. The work of
construction. It Is rumored, will probably
be started within a few weeks.
ROUGH FOOTBALL.

NEW YORK, Nov. S.-John McQuade.

In the Emergency Hospital, his life in
the balance, says a Washington special
to the World. The doctors say there is
an even chance that he may live.
McQuade. who is 19 years old, was form

He enlisted as a volunteer at the out

PARIS EXPOSITION SPORTS.
Spaldlnt? Snji They Will Prove n
Great Incentive to Athletics.
NEW YORK. Nov. S.-Albert G. Spald
ing. Director of Sports at the Paris Ex
pesltion. who h-s Just arrived home from
Europe, furnished a statement relative
to sports at the exhibition and in Europe
generally. Mr. Spalding believes the ln
tecnaUonal games in Paris will prove a
great incentive to athletics In Europe.
The victories of the American athletes
reused to much admiration that there
Is a desire Jn Europe to develop athletes
who can compete with those of this
country.
"In regard to the criticisms of the
French people for mismanagement of the
games," said Mr. Spalding, "I think It
only fair to state that it was not due to
any desire to injure our men, but to
inexperience In such matters. In their de
sire to treat all countries equally they
may have discriminated against Amer
ica, as it was certainly very galling to
athletes of other nations to see the Amer
icans win first, second and third places
in nearly all scratch events, and when
the handicaps came along they fixed the
handicaps so that some other country
would win.
"I traveled extensively through Europe,
and I believe that the countries today
that are backward in track and field
sports, rowing, golf and swimming will.
In the course of a few years, show rapid
strides In such sports, and I think noth
ing will tend to increase the interest more
than competitions between this country
and those of Europe."
Mr. Spalding heartily favors the or
ganization o'f an International athletic
union, which has been proposed. He
says that America, which has been the
leading country, should go into the new
organization.

The Chaplain came upon a soldier lying
wounded on a battlefield, and seeing that
the end was near, sold, "Would you like
me to read you something from the Bi
ble?" But all the wounded soldier could an
swer was, 'Tm so thirsty! I would rath
erhave a drink of water."
The Chaplain quickly fetched him some
water, and then, when tho soldier asked
for something under his head, he toon
off his own overcoat and rolled it up to
make a pillow.
"If I only had something over me!"
moaned the soldier, "I am so cold."
In a moment the Chaplain had taken oft
his undercoat to cover the sufferer, and
as he was doing so the dying man looked
up in his face and said:
"If there Is anything in your book
which makes a -man do for another what
you have done for me, let me hear It"

WHAT JONES CLAIMED IN 1896.
Two Days After Elaction He Said Bryan Had Won.
CHICAGO. Oct, 31. 19G.-Chalrman Jones, of the National Democratic
Committee, claims the election of .Bryan, next Tuesday. He will carry
the following states: Alabama, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Florida,
Georgia, Idaho, Irfdlana, Kansas. Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Michi
gan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, North
Carolina, North Dakota, Oregon, South Carolina. South Dakota, Ten
nessee. Texas. Utah. Virginia, Washington. West Virginia, Wyoming.
Jones looks upon "Bryan's chances as best" in Delaware, Iowa, Illinois
Ohio, Wisconsin,
' CHICAGO. Nov. 3, 1S36. At midnight of election day, Chairman Jones
gave out the following, when all the newspapers conceded McKInley's
election: '
"There is no foundation for the claims of tho Republicans. There
is at midnight no reason to think that any one of the states' claimed by
.me for Bryan has failed to vote for him. Private advices assure us that
each one of those states has gone for Bryan. Mr. Bryan is certainly
elected."
CHICAGO. Nov. 4. 1S96. Chairman Jones claims all the Southern States
except Maryland for Bryan, with 1'48 votes, and the states west of tho
Missouri, with 61, making a total of 209. He claims Delaware and Indiana,
or Michigan. "There can be scarcely a doubt," he says, "of our setting
Indiana. It seems to me we are entirely Justified in claiming tho election
of Bryan, which I do." Again Jones said: "We cannot lose. The
Republicans are perpetrating frauds. Indiana is safe for Bryan. Iowa's
later returns are our way. Our people say Kentucky is all right. Cali
fornia and Oregon are all right I have no fear of West Virginia, and I
do not concede McKInley's election."
CHICAGO, Nov. 5, lS96.-Jones gave it up. but said he was confident
the "gold standard cannot give the promised prosperity."

tlclpatlng actively in the discussions, and
the proceedings are harmonious. So far
these have been confined to the ..effort
to secure a perfect agreement by all the
Ministers upon the basis of negotiations,
and up to this time no efforts have been
made to deal directly with tho Chinese
Government It is the undo standing that
when the Ministers themselves have
agreed upon their programme, there will
be little difficulty in securing its accept
ance by the Chinese Government which
is. indeed, powerless to offer serious op
position to tho united demands of the
powers.
THE CHINESE INDEMNITY.
LI Hnng Chanjr's Shrewd Scheme for
Payinsr It.
NEW YORK. Nov. 5. While tho powers
are discussing the amount of indemnity
they shall demand of China, says a
Washington special to the Herald, the
Imperial Government Is shrewdly present
ing suggestions, the adoption of which
will mean that the Western nations will
themselves pay the amount demanded. LI
Hung Chang and his colleagues have- pro
posed that, the maritime customs be
doubled in order that China may raise
money to pay the indemnity. The mari
time customs are at present pledged to
Russia, Germany and England, as a se
curity for loans. The amount of likin or
internal revenue raised would probably
be enough to make periodical payments
if it could be turned into the imperial
treasury without first having to pass
through the rapacious hands of officials.
The Chinese Commissioners appreciate this
and profess to think the indemnity can
Desc De paia ny increasing the maritime
customs. It is unlikely that the United
States and other powers will accept any
such proposition. A diplomat at Wash
ington asserts that the best Way to ob
tain the Indemnity will be to demand the
confiscation of the estates of those who
were responsible for the outrages and to
require the rich men of China to contrib
ute a proportionate amount
It seems to be generally admitted in
Administration circles that the Empress
Dowager and the Emperor will not re
turn to Pekin until the former learns the
intentions of the powers respecting her.
The powers seem practically agreed that
the Empress Dowager must not further
participate in the affairs of the empire,,
and must be removed to a point where
she will exercise no influence upon the
government This amounts to virtual ex
ile. Because of the Importance of the
Emperor in the eyes of the world, the
Empress Dowager will probably hold him
practically as a hostage.
China's Eyes Opened.
NEW YORK, Nov. 5. Wu Ting Fang,
the Chinese Minister, thinks that when
the allies withdraw from China railroad
construction on a large scale win be be
gun there, says a Washington dispatch to
the Herald. Minister Wu has Just re
turned from Pittsburg. He said last
night:
"I thave no doubt that as soon as the
peace negotiations are satisfactorily con
cluded, Western inventions, particularly of
a transportation character, will be Intro
duced Into my country. The Chinese peo
ple have had their eyes opened to the
advantages of Western methods. They
will desire to utilize the rich mineral and
other deposits with which the country is
favored and have means for promptly
transporting them to the coast I, there
fore, expect that the railroad lines will
be extended, but I desire It -to be under
stood that I have no authority to nego
tiate for material or grant concessions.
These are matters which must await the
conclusion of negotiations."
Southern Rebellion Dying: Out.
HONG KONG, Nov. 5. Reports from
Canton say the East River rebels have
moved up the river, and boats are now
running from Pak Lo to Hu Chan. It is
considered probable that the rebellion will
shortly die out The reformers admit
that the rising was premature, and that I
they had not a sufficient supply of arms. I
As the French demand the execution of
the leaders in the Sbek Lung riots pla
cards have been posted throughout the

foreigners if the demands are pressed.
Protectorate Over Manchuria.
LONDON, Nov. 6. Dr. Morrison, wiring
to the Times from Pekin yesterday, says:
"Vlce-Admlral Alexieff has addressed a
communication to LI Hung Chang asking
China's Intentions regarding Manchuria
and Inviting her to resume the govern
ment of that territory under Russian pro.
tectlon, which, he says, will be of 'mutual
advantage to China and Russia. "
Friction Among; the Allies.
PEKIN. Sunday, Nov. 4. A commission
consisting of the senior staff officers of
each power taking part in the Chinese
campaign is proceeding to Shan Hal Kwan
i (on the Gulf of Liao Tung) In order to
smooth the friction bstween the allied
commanders regarding the places to be se
lected for occupation for the respective
forces.
TRUSTS IK GERMANY.
Thonsh Numerous, They Are Not
Feared, as In This Country.
European trusts are very much like our
own. but are usually on a far smaller
scale, writes Cyrus C Adams, In Alnslee's
Magazine. Their purposes, as in this
country, is to attain business ends for
which the resources of individual com
panies are Inadequate. This purpose
Is often most laudable, and is cal
culated to benefit both business in
terests and the community at
large. Trusts, however, have made most
rapid development, and are most success
ful In Germany, whose wonderful trans
formation from an agricultural to an in
dustrial empire, seeking inlets to every
foreign market, striving in all ways to
make the 'most of her natural resources.
tttl6Mt(0
and drawing millions of population from
the country to fill the cities, have given
her greater resemblance In her present
commercial position to the United States
than to any other nation. Such striving
to enter all Industrial fields, to produce
most and sell most, have led, of course,
to unhealthful competition, to overpro
duction, and to other evils growing out
of Intense business rivalry and activity.
It is these conditions more than anything
else that have called Into existence the
trade combinations, 250 or more in number,
that now control to a large extent the out
put, price and conditions of sale of many
manufactured products. The Rhenlah-
Wqstphalian coal syndicate has, tor ex-J
ompie,- aurmg six years, completely con
trolled tho amount of coal to be mined
andcoke to be made tn West Germany,
and "has dictated the price ai which they
shall be sold, much to the displeasure of
many steel and Iron manufacturers, who
navo been aggrieved by the advance in
quotations. Some of the trusts, like those
which control the rolling mjlls, chemical
and other Industries, sell all their product
to a central bureau. Orders tnr tmnfia
ire assigned by the bureau to this or that
lactory, which can only do the work ap
portioned to it without taking a single or
der for or fixing the price of its product.
Mr. Frank H. Mason, our Consul-General
at Berlin, has recently reported that the
entire product of potash salts in the
Strassfurt district mineral waters, seed
oils, earthenware, and scores of special
ized chemical products are all syndicated;
and even the shoemakers, the sugar
growers, and the distillers of alcohol have
taken steps to organize so as to gain a
better control of output and prices.
Prominent as trusts have beoomo In tho
business life of Germany, they haye not
excited the apprehension nor the denun
ciation which they have aroused to some
extent in this country. Protests against
them are heard, but they come largely
from those whose business interests suf
fer from their competition, or from the
enhanced prices they Impose. It may bo
said, on the whole, that the people of
Europe accept trusts as a means of avoid
ing serious evils, such as excessive com
petition, that are dangerqus to business
and unfortunate for the public. There is
little political opposition to ttrusto. Poli
ticians, assuming to act In the Interests
of working classes, have not generally at
tempted to make party capital br assail
ing trade combinations. Neither in Ger
many nor in France has there been legis
lation against them.
Some Bad' Chinese Ways.
Emerson BaInbrldo In Contemporary Review.
Justice, as obtained In the Chinese
courts, is a farce. A case occurred while
the writer was in China in which a Chi
nese Judge, sitting with an English mag-
utiraie, ueciarea mat ne was obliged to
give Judgment against the evidence, or he
should lose his appointment!
The criminal law of China provides that
an offender can only be punished if he
confesses his guilt, and if he is tardy in
conforming with this condition, ho Is com
pelled to confession by a series of tortures
of the most painful and awful character.
Superstition is rife from end fo end of
the land and leads to cruelty and brutal
ity of tho worst description.
The system of "squeeze" and extortion
which exists throughout the East is
found in so aggravated a form in China
that It stifles enterprise and prevents ex
pansion of trade, and leaves the masses
of the people barely with the necessaries
of life, while their superiors in position
become wealthy by corrupt accumulation.
This system of "squeeze" of course
applies to the question of railway con
struction. One of tho most intelligent
Chinamen the writer met in Shanghai
ouerea mm a concession for a railway
from Pekin to Chin Klanrr. the foremost
condition being that the sum of 120,007
nt vtusu siiuuiu oe paid to a leading Gov
ernment official at the cutting of the
first sod.
As a further illustration, it may be
pointed out that out of the 13 railway
concessions already supposed to be grant
ed (extending about 3600 miles), not one
has as yet been commenced.
Capital punishment prevails to an ex
tent few people have any idea of In this
country. An important Russian official
the writer met on his way from Pekin
stated that one of his countrymen had
been murdered in Manchuria by a China
man. They wished to punish him In such
a way, and at such a place, as would
convey the strongest warning to others
but they found that it would be useless
to execute him in his native town as no
less than 2000 people had ended their lives
in this way in the previous 12 months!
Tho real estate transfers In Union Coun
ty since January 1, 1S00, as shown by the
records of the County Recorder, amount
to nearly $1,000,000.

IN
Thorough Investigation of the Force
Ordered Emperor William Is
Watching- the Proceedings.
BERLIN, Nov. 5. The highly unsatis
factory condition of the Berlin police
force, as laid bare by the sensational
evidenoe In the second trill of Sternberg,
the rich Berlin banker accused of an of
fense against morality, and the peculiar
manner In which the case Itself was pre
pared and has been handled, aro the talk
or tne whole city.
In view- of the clear signs of corruption
and lack of discipline brought out by the
proceedings, it was resolved today at a
conference between Count von Bulow, the
Imperial Chancellor, and Baron von
Rhelnhaben, Prussian Minister of the In
terior, to overhaul the Berlin police de
partment. Immediately after the confer
ence. Baron Rhelnhaben ordered a sharp
investigation without fear or favor. It
is expected that a large number of the
criminal police will be disciplined, and
aat about a score will be dismissed,
among them the chief of the criminal po
lice. Von Merescheidt HuIlessem,who has
been strongly compromised by the trial.
Altogether, no fewer than 70 members of
the criminal police are said to be impli
cated in tho Sternberg case. The press,
without distinction of party, sternly de
mands thorough reforms. In addition to
the two commissioners against whom
damaging evidence has been offered, it is
rumored that a number of others are in
volved. Today Emperor William requested that
e be furnished with running reports
dally of the trial and of tho part played
in It by the police.

kand to Hankow via the Kashgar Valley,
Lake Kukuner and the Wei Ho and Ho
ang Ho Valleys, or any other route. He
asserts that the intervening mountains
are all but impassable, and that such a
line would cost billions of dollars, though
it possibly may be built 100 years from
now.
"Russia," said the Prince, "formerly
contemplated a line from Samarkand to
Tomsk, but she gave up the project when
the Chinese troubles began. The direct
branch line from St. Petersburg to the
Siberian Railway has also been aban
doned for the present"
Busy Winter In Finances.
NEW YORK, Nov. 5. British financiers
here are expecting a busy Winter, says
the Tribune's London correspondent. The
continuance of heavy war expenditures in
South Africa will Involve the govern
ment borrowing on a large scale. It is
also expected that indemnities for the
loyalist claims In Cape Colony and Natal
will need financing in some way by colo
nial loans, with guarantees from the homo
government. Tho mining companies will
also be forced to borrow many millions
before their properties can be put in a
proper state of development
There Is also the certainty that tho
China indemnity can never be paid with
out international credit and assistance.
China's debt already reaches $300,000,000.
and tho Interest and sinking fund now
require $18,000,000 annually. It is not be
lleved by financiers that the indemnity
for the massacres and attacks on lega
tions will be less than $200,000,000, so that
at least $30,000,000 will be required in the
future for Interest and Blnklng fund serv.
Ice. International control of the Chlnesa
revenues and taxes will be Indispensable
If these Indemnities are ever paid.
New Canal In Russia.
NEW YORK, Nov. 5. A dispatch to
tho Herald from Berlin says:
It is learned that in a few days there
will be published plans of a new canal of
the greatest importance, to be built by
Russia. It will connect the Baltic and
White Seas, running from Bt. Petersburg
along the Finnish Gulf to St. Catherine,
the new naval harbor on the Murman
Coast The Nova River, now seven meters
(about 23 feet) deep, wljl be deepened still
more, and tho canal will run from It to
Lake Ladoga, in Northwestern Russia,
The importance of these plans from the
military point of view is that they wllj
enable the Russian Baltic fleet to escape
should a blockade ever be attempted on,
that side of tho empire. The distance
from St Petersburg to the Important sea
port of Hbau, on tho Baltic, will b
greatly shortened. This will be part of
the new canal's commercial significance.
Queen Rescues Her Boatman.
NEW YORK, Nov. 5. A dispatch to
the Journal and Advertiser from Lisbon
says:
The Queen of Portugal, at Cascals. a
fashionable resort, made a thrilling res
cue, fihe has been staying at the Palace

Catalo Croom, her boatman, bringing his
boat In to shore. Suddenly a huge wave
overturned the boat Croom's arm was
broken and he waa overcome by the un
dertow, which carried him beneath the
waves. The Queen is an expert swimmer.
Seeing that her boatman was drowning;
she sprang into the sea before any of her
attendants could prevent her. With rap
id strokes she swam to the boatman's
side and held him up until persons put
out in boats and rescued both the Queen

ONCE DREADED DISEASES WHERE CURES MAY NOW BE
ASSURED.
Asthma, Bronchitis, Incipient Consumption, Rheumatism, Ca
tarrh and Other Maladies, Once Dreaded as Incurable,
Now Yielding Readily to the Copeland
Treatment.
If a man dies he will not live again tin
the resurrection. That much is -clear.
Medical science has advanced wonderful
ly, but it cannot warm a dead man's feet
or set in motion & heart that has stopped.
Furthermore, there ore living invalids to
whom it can no more restore health thai;
it can restore life to the dead. It cannot
cure fatty degeneration of the heart nor
cancer of the stomach, and It cannot re
pair a lung that has undergone total de
composition or a liver that has undergone
a hardening or a malignant ulceration.
But, in drawing the line between what
Is possible and what is not possible to en
lightened medical science, there Is neither
sense nor humanity nor professional hon
esty In exaggerating the list of incurable
maladies. The physician who holds today
that common types of chronic lung dis
ease, chronic kidney disease, chronic liv
er disease, or the severer types of catarrh,
asthma, rheumatism, etc., are incurable,
because chronic, contradicts a matter of
fact attested by 20,000 people who have
been cured of those very maladies by the
specialists of the Copeland Medical Insti
tute. A family doctor who knows little of the
nature of chronic diseases, and still less
of the secrets and subtleties involved in
their mastery, might well abstain from
any expression of "views" regarding their
curability or their incurability. His opin
ion has grown In the shade, like hemlock,
and may be Just as poisonous as hemlock
Just as depressing and deadly in its ac
tionwhen administered to patients.
To say that the chronic maladies enu
merated above will not yield promptly to
correct specialty treatment is either an
inexcusable error or an inexcusable false
hood. In either Instance it is an Inexcus
able impertinence In the face of 20,000 in
telligent and reputable people, who testify
to their radical and lasting cure of those
diseases by the Copeland specialists. And
when they say "cured," they mean it
They do not mean a moment's balm to
pain, a little rest to sleepless agony. They
mean the complete elimination of the seed
poison and seed principle of chronic dis
ease and the permanent return of natural
health to the system.
But chronic catarrh, being the malady
most frequently and most Impertinently
described as incurable by those who have
no real knowledge concerning It, below Ta
presented the symptoms of different forms
of the disease, any sufferer from which
may be practically assured of a. cure by
applying to the Copeland specialists. For
convenience, the applicant should cut out
the symptoms applying to his case and
bring them with him, or send by mall If
desiring the mall treatment.

a project was under way, and tho state's
Representatives In Washington were
equally in the dark. The parties pro
jecting the irrigation enterprise did not
know of the proposed park segregation,
and so the temporary withdrawal was
made without knowledge of the fact that
it would conflict with one of tho most
Important irrigation projects ever
launched in the West,
The proposed park would take some
60.000 acres right out of the heart at the
tract that is to be covered by the irriga
tion system, and if the park plan should
be carried through It would defeat the
Irrigation enterprise. Everybody is agreed
that the park should not be established,
and the effort now is to lnduco tho Got
ernment to abandon the project.
