Clubs ol Hie I'nitcu Slates Are Ki
peeled to Hold u Purade In I uutou.
Canton. O.. Sept. 27. Major McKin
ley was not in the least over fatigued
by hi week of hard work which he
eloped with eleven speeches yesterday,
lie Is in excellent spirits today and says
he has not felt better at any time dur
ing the campaign. He remained at
home during the morning, and spent the
afternoon at his sister-in-law's. Mrs.
Harl.er. where he and Sirs.' MeKinley
dined. Major MeKinley expects a week
of arduous work, hut he will not have
as many delegations as he had to re
ceive last week. Probably the most ex
acting six days of the campaign here
will be next week, when there are a
large number of big delegations com
ing from long distances to call on the
Republican candidate. Major MeKin
ley seems to thrive on hard work anil it
cannot be seen that the campaign has
in any way impaired his health or
robbed him of his strength. It is his
purpose to make his speeches consider
ably shorter as delegations increase in
number, and this new plan was resort
ed to yesterday, when he made eleven
speeches.
INTERESTING DAYS.
Tuesday nnd Saturday will be Inter
esting days this week. On Tito-day a
visit from a large Woman's MeKinley
club of Cincinnati Is expected, and on
Saturday the Wheelmen's MeKinley
and lloltart clubs of the United States
are expected in Canton. It la believed
that there will be between H.UW and III.
Oimi wheelmen in the parade here on Sat
urday Large delegations of wheelmen
are coming from Chicago and Interme
diate points, and many ale exiected
from Pittsburg and the east. There are
six delegations booked lor Saturday,
but that number Will probably be dou
bled before the end of the week. Dele
gations are scheduled as late as Oct. --.
and it is likely they will combine to
i oiue until the lirst day of November.
It Is propi'sed by some of the local lead
ers to have a big rally here about the
middle, of Hie last week of October and
to have a nu.iilier of strong speakers
present.
SUSPICIOUS OF THE GOLD TICKET.
Tlie Cold Shoulder Turned on Hie
I'll liner- It ncliiicr Combination.
Cliirago, Kept. 27. Letters received at
(he headquarters of Hie national dem
ocratic puny Indicates that t tie Palmer
and Huckuer ticket will not get much
support from Democrats unless the na
tional ciuumittee demonstrates by its
ucllon that the movement is not in any
way an adjunct of McKinleylsm. The
w l iters who claim to be old Democrats
declare that an Independent and ag
gressive canvass must be made Irre
spective of whom it may help or hurt.
The letters are tilled with fear that the
committee Is not going to be aggressive
enough. The reports received from
eighteen slates where the contest will
Hot lie one sided show that the anli-sll-ver
Democrats are going to vote for
Palmer, no matter If it elects or defeats
Mckinley.
Michael Savage, of Nashville, chair
man of the Tennessee committee,
writes: "If we cull obtain the ear of
the national committee and one-half
the effort Is made in Tennessee Unit is
being made In Indiana and other stales
we can defeat Hryau In this sjato."

HICKS MAKES THREATS.
Declare That lie Will Throw His
Influence to an Anti-Quay Man.
Altoonn, Pn., Sept. 27. Hon. J. D.
Hicks and Hon. Francis J. Koser, of
Somerset county, candidate for the
nomination to congress in this district,
held a lengthy conference at the home
of Mr. Hicks in this city this afternoon,
nnd at its conclusion Mr. Hicks gave
out a statement to the effect that if
he did not receive the nomination by
Monday evening he would throw his
four and one-half votes In -the confer
ence to Mr. Koser, of Somerset, and
nominate him In his stead.
As Mr. Koser is an anti-Quay and
Hicks is a Ptrong supporter of Senator
Quay. It Is hardly probable that he
would use his influence against the
Beaver statesman. The statement was
evidently given out to force the Cam
bria county conferees to vote for Hicks
and nominate him In order to get an
opponent to Mr. Quay.
POPULISTS REBUKED.
The Aggressive Candidates Are Put
Off the Republican Fusion Ticket.
Boise, Ida., Seit. 27. The re-convened
Republican state convention met at
Boise City yesterday. The object in
re-calllng the convention waa to take
some action in the matter of Populist
candidates who were put on the Re
publican ticket with the understanding
that there was a fusion between the
silver Republicans, Populists and the
silver Democrats. But after the nomi
nations were made the Populists com
menced and maintained a bitter fight
against the silver Republicans In every
county In the state. Yesterday's con
vention took off the ticket the names of
James Ounn, Populist for congress, and
George L. Lewis, Populist for secretary
of state. All Democrats, Including
Htounenberg. nominee of both Dem
ocrats and Populists for governor, was
left upon the ticket, with the exception
of J. A. Llpplncott for lieutenant gover
nor, who had resigned. In places of
those removed, W. G. Brown, Republl-
Charles K. Duruns. Democrat, for sec
retary of state, and E. H. True, Dem
ocrat, for lieutenant governor.
The convention Issued un address
charging the Populists by their refusal
to supiMirt DuBois with the responsibil
ity of the changed names. It Is now
thought by many that the Populists will
name a new state ticket, with Bryan
and Watson electors.
MADE HIS HEAD SWIM.
The Work ol the Sound Money league
Surprised Committeeman Kerens.
Chicago, Sept. 27. National Commit
teeman Kerens was in town yesterday.
He went to St. Louis a few days ago to
organize a finance committee for work
throughout the state, but he found the
Sound Money league! which was recent
ly organized in St. Louis, flolng such ef
fective work that it "made his head
swim," as he expressed It. He said
this league was composed of some
prominent Democrats in business cir
cles, and their effect as a campaign or
ganization could not be excelled in any
part of the country. Bottrke Cockran
will deliver an address in St. Louis n.-xt
week early.
General Giosvelior spent Sunday with
Chicago friends and will proceed to
Iorta Monday or Tuesday for a speech
making trip, lie announced his inten
tion of Issuing two more estimates of
tlje states which MeKinley and Bryan
would carry and the doubtful ones,
with figures. One will lie compiled the
middle of next month, and the other
just before election day. He raid his
recent statement had brought him
scores of letters, ntnazing, sarcastic,
( t it lea I and vicious.
"We have a hard fight on our hands
In Nebraska," said the general, "but I
would sooner bet on .Nebraska than on
Kansas. I think we will carry both
those states by small majorities. I
don't see any hope for us in Missouri.
1 would not put it In the doubtful col
umn. Nothing can be expected from a
stute where the party is split into light
ing factious."

want, misery and hunger suffered by
the soul hern negro colonists who still

ui e they were unable lo gel an hour's
work of any jlml. Twenty-five ucivs

berbin government, but there whs no
house lo sin Iter i hem or their families.
Soon after their arrival the rainy sea
son began and With it came a deathly
tualailal fever called by the natives
"John Ituil fever" which carried away
forly of the new comers, among whom
one of Mr. Smith's children. The dis
ease was still doing its deadly work
when he left for the United States.
.Mr. Smith staled that nearly one-half
of I he 2h2 persons taken to Monrovia

some Mine before the l.auruda was dead
and Lurhd long ago. Luckily for him
he took with hliu stio which enabled
hi 111 to get home. When he left, old
1 1 lends, ball' naked and crlpnlcd by
disease, hobbled ..tit into the surf to
bid him uli.il they nil felt would be a
last farewell. President Cheeseman, of
Liberia and the missionaries did all
they could for the imforl tiuales, but the
returned colonists said, like everybody
else, Ihev had Very little money, no
food and no work for them.

GLADSTONE ON TURKEY.
Opin ions ol the German Press Upon the
Probable Effect of His Sentiments.
More Massacres Apprehended.
(Copyright, IS., by the I'nlted Associated
Presses.)
Berlin, Sept. 27. The anti-Turkish
speech delivered by Mr. Gladstone at
last Thursday's mu.s meeting in Liv
erpool, hu.s been widely published here
and generally commented on by the
newspapers, a majority of which speak
of the address unfavorably.
The Vossische Zeltung is the most
Indulgent of any of the leading journ
als in its orltlcismn, and goes no fur
ther than to express good words for
the prime minister of Great Britain
ami hone that his remarks have a
troliering effect Ufion the sultan and
the palace clique behind hiiru At the
same time the Vosttlsche suggests the
possibility that the almost violent lan
guage employed by Mr. Gladstone may
reawaken the fanaticism of the Mos
lems and the Armenian revoluntionlsts
and their followers, leading to the very
results which he co Mrongly de
nounced. Among the other leading
German papers the consensus of opin
ion i that the sjieeeh la more likely to
do harm, than good.
The suggestion made by Mr. Glad
stone of a severance of the diplo
matic relation between Great Brltlaln
and Turkey 1 regarded by the papers
as fantastic and only likely to en
courage a renewal of the massacres in
the sultan's domain.
F.AST AFRICAN TROUBLKS.
Opinions are expressed within the
cilrelejt of the Genua rn colonial party
that the British, are fomenting the
trouble which has arisen In German
Kiust Africa, Into which the Wawemba
tribe, have made Inroads from Kng
llsh territory. More serious than this,
however, is the rising of the Wahcse
tribe, who have re-erected their fort
at Kwikuru which the Germans had
lirevlnusly dcstroywl. and have also
driven the smll detachment of Ger
man troops there out of the country.
An exiiedltinn ootiRlnlIng of 200 men
hus been sent to punish the Wahdies
and If this measure Is not suceesHful
Baron Von Wisfmnn, the governor of
German Fast Africa, who Is now in
Berlin, will return to Africa imme
diately with a larger force.

HEADLESS BODY FOUND.
Pittsburg Agitated by the Discovery
of a Mysterious Murder.
Pittsburg. Sept. 27. On Sept. 19 the
vicinity of Wylle Station, near Kll.a
beth. Pa., was thrown into great ex
citement by the finding In the Monon
gahcla river of the headless body of a
man who had evidently been murdered.
This afternoon the bloody garments
were found among some weeds and
bushes near the river, nnd a small
mound nearby, when opeTled, proved to
be the burial place of the head, which
Is In good preservation, and Is that of
a man of 45 or 50 years old, well formed,
with gray eyes, dark hair and chin
whiskers slightly mixed with gray.
It is thought a Pittsburg tailor's label
on his coat will lead to a clew.
