Buffalo, Oct. IC.
Governor McKlnley wus whirled
through tho state of New York today at
the rate of seventy miles an hour. In
order to Ret him to all the places at
which lie was booked to make speeches
a special train was made up, which Hew
over the tracks of the New York Cen
tral ruilroad as fast as Hteam could pro
pel It. The llrst stop out of Buffalo
wus at Uatavla, where Governor Me
Klnley spoke from a platform erected
in front of the court house.
At Rochester there was a band and n
procession and an audience of several
thousand assentbled in the public
square. The demonstration at Roches
ter was very noisy, the cheers of the
crowd being punctuated with explo
sions of bombs, and the mule to the
speaking stand was marked by an
eluboralc- display of Hugs and buntliiK
hung from the buildings. Caiindnigun
was reached at ItU'll, where the urrlval
of the train was heralded by the dis
charge of cannon mid ringing of the
church bells. The governor took occa
sion at this place to respond to a speech
made by Vice President Stevenson. He
said: 1
Mckinley Answers Adlal.
"Vice-President Stevenson, In Mb
speech nt .Brooklyn last night, alluded
to the great prosperity of the country
enjoyed during President Cleveland's
llrst administration, and said that ex
isting distress was caused solely by the
tariff law of 1890 and other Republican
legislation. Xo intelligent people can
be so deceived. Every man who hears
me will remember that during the
whole of President Cleveland's first
term the Republican party had con
trols the senate of the ITnited States
and Hint Mr. Cleveland did nothing
more than execute Republican law and
Republican purpose. The only thing
Mr. Stevenson was right about was
that great promises had been made by
the Democratic platform nnd In the
speeches of the campaign of iS!i2. lie
talks about the bitter light congress
made against monopolies and trusts.
Mr. Wilson answers him by declaring
that the most Igantir trust In our his
tory held congress by the throat."
There was a howling mob of enthusi
asts at Geneva. Here, referring to the
ittutWc j-tmmik imm wnn Interrupted
him at Dunkirk, yostertluv, Governor
McKlnley said: "The young man
wanted our idle mechanics to go to rais
ing wheat, but I take it that what the
farmers of this country want is not
more wheat raisers, but more wheat
eaters." And he characterized the
Democratic slogan of "opening the
markets of the world" by observing,
sarcastically, that "the foreign market
is a great free trade shadow dance,
w'le" 'ou set to it there is nothing in
Ills Apt Aphorism.
An uproarious congregation was
found at Seneca Falls, crackling the
fallen leaves and making the barren
limbs of the trees tremble with their
shouts when the great protectionist
dismounted fron his car. There were
certainly not less than 4,000 voters in
the crowd. Vslng a Llncolnesquo
phrase, McKlnley said: "For the thirty
years we lived under Republican pro
tective policy, the meal tub of govern
ment was always full, and the meal
tub of tthe people was never empty.
This is the Imperishable fact of his
tory, which can never be blotted out."
Later he expressed a protection maxim
by saying "Every time you make It
easier for the foreign product to come
Into this market you make It harder for
the American product to stay In this
market."

President of Philadelphia Typographical
I n Ion Raises an Issue.
Special to the Scmnton Tribune.
Pittsburg, Oct. 2G.-The Times prints
a letter from the president of the Phila
delphia Typographical union, No
s challenging the statement of William
M. Slngerly that he "never reduced
wages und "defied any record or anv
man to state that in a single Instance
he has reduced the wages of his em
ployes." The letter says: "Philadelphia Tvpo
graphical union uccepts the challenge
and charges that on March 7. of this very
year, he reduced the wages of the op
erators working the typesetting ma
chines In the composing room of the
Record 2 cents per 1,000 ems maklngn re
duction, nccordlng to the skill of the
operator, of from 50 cents to 70 cents
per day. Previous to that date the
price paid for machine composition was
16 cents for night work mid 1214 for day
work. Now he is paying 14 cents for
night work and 12 for day work, the
lowest rate of wages paid for machine
composition In any large city of this
country. Philadelphia union will give
from $1,000 to $5,000 to any charity that
Mr. Slngerly may name If It cannot
prove the proof of this assertion."

Kcglstratlon Frauds.
Py the United Tress.
Philadelphia, Oct. 26.-Davld Martin,
chairman of the executive committee of
the Republican city campaign commit
tee, Bays, apropos of charges of false
registration: "Our committee, la in
favor of striking from the lists the
nume of every person who has removed
or who has died or which may be Im
properly on the list. If the Democratic
city committee Is agreeable, we are
willing to appoint one member of our
committee In each division and have
them appoint one of their men. these
two to make a thorough canvass of
their respective divisions and make af
fidavit a to the coruectnesss of their
work. Then we can go Into court and
present these lists.
"Wa have no object in padding the
lists, as we expect a majority so big
that we are not Interested in permitting
fictitious names to remain on them,
If any are there, I will say this, that we
have made a complete canvass of every
division in the city within the past ten
days, and have the name of every Re
publican and every Democrat who is
entitled to vote. This canvass has also
developed the fact that there have been
between 15,000 and 20,000 removals and
deaths since the assessment was
made."
HASTINGS TALKS SENSE.
Pours Hot Argument Into the Ears of His
Philadelphia Hearers.
By the United Tress.
Philadelphia, Oct. 20. General Hant
lijgs opened his campaign in Philadel
phia tonight with four speeches nt as
many different meetings in the southern
part of the city. The meetings were till
crowded and the protection doctrine as
expounded by General Hastings met
with the hearty approval of the audi
ences. General Hustings' speches weje
all in the same line. He contrasted the
policies of the two parties and advo
cate protection. In effect lie said:
The time for argument is almost past.
No citizen will misconceive the effect of
his vote. The McKlnley law did not In
jure a single industry. This fact is con
ceded on all sides. With the advent of
free trade there came simultaneously
business depression, lack of confidence,
hesitation and doubt; these conditions
have continued. The parly In power
have been tinkering at these conditions
for eighteen months and the tinkering
has not been a success. This fact brings
the question home to every man, no mat
ter what his calling or occupation. It is,
therefore, a business question to be set
tled on business principles and not on
theory.
The Republican party, In Its infnncv,
Willi the. aid of good men of all parlies,
was able to restore the Union. In Its
youth it wus wise enough lo give the
country an unprecedented era of prosper
ity. In Its manhood it will be able to re
store Ihul prosperity lost through misap
prehension and misrepresentation. The
Hepubliean party Is not a fleeting shallow.
It Is not a curiosity shop of odd theories.
It is the party of today and tomorrow. It
Is the party of the great war. It Is the
party of reconstruction. It is the party
of sound currency und nullomd honor.
SINGERLY HAS HIS SAY.
Tells the People of Urccnshurg That They
Are Kcally Prosperous.
By the United Press.
Greensburg, Pa., Oct. 26. In the
course of his speech here today Mr.
Slngerly said:
Upon this bright October morning with
the reminiscences of the past, with the
Democracy of Ihe present around us and
la front of us. cheering us and encourag
ing us on in oar good work, 1 see no rea
soi. why Westmoreland county shall not
come back to her old 2,inio Democratic
mujority. We are not here preaching cal
amity; we are not here prophesying evil;
we arc not here running down the indus
tries of your commomwenlth; we are not
here regretting the past, but we are here
with great hopes for the future because of
the Wilson bill.
From the time that we started on Mon
day morning down to this hour, we
have met nothing but active iudustrv,
good hiislness. plenty of work, uml lio
complaint. They tolrt me at Connellsvllle,
yesterday afternoon, that September was
the greatest coke producing month in the
history of that place. That It had
shipped over 2,tmU enrs of coke during the
month; that the average was some zi or
mi cars beyond any average during any
boom In their lives; that they were unable
to till their orders, and that they were
exporting to Canada. They told mo at
deal-Held that they were shipping 10,0m)
tons' of coal a day and were unable to sup
ply their orders. At Johnsouburg the
largest mine owner there told me that he
was shipping 2,000 tons a day, wus behind
with his orders and was buying coal to
lill them. At Pittsburg they have but
one complaint; they are short of cars.
The Pennsylvania railroad und the Ral
tlniore and Ohio railroad have not cars
enough to supply their customers.
Now If this Is the result of two months
of the Wilson bill, I ask you what it will
be before It is a year old. 1 am not here
to Inflame your passions. I am not here
preaching fallacies or sophistries, or to
get you to my way of thinking. I ask
you, men of Greensburg, you men In
business; you, employers; you, working
men, to stop to think what this prosperity
means.
Fully 15.000 people shouted n welcome
at Johnstown. All along the line of
march all buildings were decorated,
red lights and fireworks filled the air
continually. At 8 o'clock the large
opera house was packed, floor, gulleries
and stuge, and standing room was a. a
premium. When Governor Pattlson
appeared on the stage, his reception
by the vast assemblage was spontane
ous. His nddress was In the nature
of an arraignment of twenty-live years

NO MORE SILVER BILES.
Congress Would be Wasting Time Only to
Invito Cleveland's Veto.
By the United Tress.
Memphis, Oct. 26. Senator Harris, of
Tennessee, does not think there will be
any silver legislation at the next ses
sion of congress, in an interview he
said:
"When President Cleveland vetoed
the seigniorage bill, which was noth
ing compared to the ideas of those who
favor the use of sliver In large quanti
ties, he plainly showed that he would
defeat any bill looking to the use of sil
ver as currency.I don't believe congress
will waste any time preparing a bill
for the president to veto."

After Fifteen Hours of Hard Labor the
Hcscucrsare Rewarded by Answering
Hounds Withln-Tlic Deliverance to

By the United Press.
Iroliwood, Mich. Oct. 20.
What may prove to bo the worst ac
cident in the history of the Menominee
Range occurred on the fourth level of
Shaft No. 1 at the Powablo mine at S
o'clock yesterday. One man is known
to have been killed, and eleven others
are entombed, and their fate will not
be known for twelve hours.
The accident was caused by the sand
stone capping, which overhung the
room, coming away with sutlicleiit
force to crush the timbers without any
warning.
The dead man is Frank Gaborora.
The entombed, so far as their names
are obtainable, are John Farrel, Peter
Hellberger, William Plckard and Will
iam ThoniuB.
Last night Superintendent Drown ex
pressed himself as being confident that
all the entombed men would be taken
out alive. This will depend very much
on whether the air is pure and suffi
cient to keep them alive.
At 6 o'clock this evening the rescuers
had dug to within eight feet of the men
and some of them at least are still
alive, as a distinct tapping can be
heard on a pipe leading to where the
men are entombed. Some of them will
be alive, but the rescue can hardly be
effected before daylight tomorrow.

; ceased, quite a number of mills have
gone Into operation and the demand
for products, If not equal to that of
prosperous years, is better than it has
been most of the time this year. The
prices of farm products do not Im
prove. Tho stock market has been remark
ably stagnant and the average of rail
road stocks has declined 33 per share,
while trust stocks have advanced 31
cents per share. Pending suits re
garding the trusts have little Influence.

The best feuture Is that the heavy
Increase in the output of pig does not
yet seem to overload the market, und
there are rather less signs of pressure
to sell than of late.
It is Btill, as It has been for some
months, a very encouraging fact that
the volume of commercial failures Is
small. Reports for the three weeks of
October cover liabilities of onlv .".,6;',!i,

AWFUL DISCOVERY BY SAILORS
A Party of Eskimos Without Food Resort
to Cannlbuliym-The Last of tho Lot
Evidently Died of Starvation After
Raving Eutcn Their Comrades.
By the United Press.
Dundee, Oct. 26.
Whaling vessels belonging to the
Dundee fleet which have returned hers
bring a gruesome story from the
far north. At the beginning of
August the whalers Aurora. Buluena
and Esquimaux were In Prince Re
gent's Inlet, searching for white whales.
They steamed into Elvln Bay and a
party from the Buluena landed and pro
ceeded in shore. They "had not
gone far when they came upon a ghastly
ring of corpses, the remains of Eskimos
who had evidently died of starvation.
The evidence pointed to its having been
a oase of survival of the fittest. Some of
the bodies bore no trace of the tale told
by the others. On the other hand,
clean-picked human bones and partially
devoured bodies revealed a story of can
nibalism. One corpse had been be
headed, and tho head waa found thirty
yards away from the trunk at a place
where someone had evidently made a
meal upon the ilesh and brain.
It is supposed that the party, while
travelling, found their progcess checked
by the sudden setting in of winter.
What few provisions they had were
soon exhausted, and then starvation
staved them in tho face. One by one
they succumbed to the pangs of hunger
and finally the stronger, in a futile at
tempt to save their own lives were
driven to ea.t the others.

street and some bills and securities
were found in the debrla by the bank
officials this morning. It is estimated
