that they are more thoughtful and delib

great national triumph. The Issues forced

Philadelphia. Nov. 10. The McKlnley
and Hobart Businessmen's National
Campaign committee met to-night at
the Manufacturer's club and wound up
the business of the organization. The
committee was the first of similar com
mittees to be formed In other cities and
did etliclent campaign work during the
weeks preceding the election. It was
composed of some of the wealthiest
men In Philadelphia, and, as these men
are convinced that the agitation In fav
or of silver has by no means been killed,
at the meeting to-night they organized
an association to be Known as the
"Philadelphia Branch of the National
League of Businessmen." Similar or
ganizations are to be formed in other
cities. That the project meets with the
favor of Mr. Hannu is shown by the
following telegram:
New York. Nov. 10.

explained In the following resolutions:
To a!d in the formation of similar or.
guiiizations in all parts of the country,
for the purpose ot extending loyal and
earnest support to the chief executive of
the government In the arduous duties of
his olliee.
To encourage patriotic love for our
country as a united whole, and to break,
down and obliterate sectionalism.
To maintain our national credit and in
tegrity upon a sound money basis.
To uphold law and order, and to secure
prosperity for our people.
To promote the election of members of
the national legislature. In tho senate and
house of representatives, who are In sym
pathy with this movement and who will

ests of the country.
To present a strong and united front
to the party of Repudiation and disrup
tion, who, in their hour of defeat, are
threatening to Immediately renew and
persistently continue, during the ensuing
four years, the assault upon the honor
and integrity of our coi'iury.
Thut Immediate steps be taken to secure
the formation and co-operation of similar
organizations, und to arrange for an early
meeting of delegates from such organiza
tions to perfect a permanent organization
of the national league of business men.
BOYER FOR Sf fcAKHR.
Senator Quay Asks His Friends to Sup
port the Ex-State Treasurer for
This Position.
Special to the Seranton Tribune.
Harrlsburg, Nov. 10. Interest In the
senatorial question has been revived by
the announcement that friends of Sen
ator Quay have been asked by him to
support ex-Speaker Henry K. Boyer,
of Philadelphia, for speaker of the next
house. Shortly beffere he departed for
Florida he addresned letters to this
effect to prominent supporters through
out the State. Mr. Boyer, It is an
nounced, already has pledges from a
majority of the Philadelphia members,
and anticipates little difficulty In mus
tering a majority of the Republican
caucus which will decide the organiza
tion of the next house.
The candidacy of Mr. Boyer is gen
erally believed to be in the Interest of
Governor Hastings' candidacy for the
United States senatorshlp to succeed
Cameron. The Wanamaker following
first thought to oppose Boyer with
Courtlandt K. Bolles, of Philadelphia,
but their more recent deti rminntion, it
Is understood. Is to support Ward R.
Bliss, of Delaware county. Whichever
side secures the organization of the
house will have a decided advantage
when It comes to the election of a sen
ator, and friends of Senator Quay are
bearing this fact In mind.
TRAMP'S HEROIC ACT.
Signals and Stops a Train About to
Hun Into Dynamite.
Washington, Ind., Nov. 10. A rag
ged tramp named G. C. Lynum, proved
himself a hero lust night, und by his
act ot bravery saved a fast express
train und many lives from disaster.
Uynuni oveiheuid a gang of men in
a box -car plotting to w reck the west
bound St. Louis express on tlie Uiiltl
moie and Ohio Southwestern railroud.
In a lonely stretch of country, east of
this city. The express car, it Is re
ported contained a larje amount of
money. A heavy chuii'.e of niiro glyc
erine and dynamite was placed upon
the truck in such a way that it would
explode when struck by the engine,
lie said nothing about the matter, fear
ing the police would think him crazy.
He had no way to signal the express
train, which he knew would bp due In
a short time. It was some distance to
the nearest switch, but he made his
way there and Jerked of the signal
light. Then he went to the place w here
the alleged dynamite was placed. His
signal was cchu by the approaching
train In lime. The train wreckers, w ho
were in ambush, also saw the Bignal
and a volley of shots were fired at
the tramp. He wns wounded In the leg
and n shot through I1I3 hat grazed his
head. After the explosives were re
moved from the track the train came
to this city, bringing the wounded
tramp. The twenty people who were
on the train, crowded about him and
praised him for his brave deed. Later
a subscription was taktn up for his
benefit.
Hynum's home Is In Washington.
The Washington police are working
on n theory that he wns one of the
gang of robbers, but as the train ap
proached his heart failed him and he
gave the. warning signal to the en
gineer. As he did so his confederates
shot at him the police think.

.Ncnr J'iiturc--Snlisbnry,s Speech
Hcceivcd with Satisfaction in Eng
lund-An llouoruble Adjustment of
a Vexed Questiou Is Assured.
Washington, Nov. 10. Every Indica
tion points to the probability that wttn
In the next fifteen or twenty days Sir
Julian Pauncefote and Secretary Olney,
plenipotentiaries appointed for that
purpose by their respective govern
ments, may be able to sign here in
Washington the protocol of a proposed
treaty to be subsequently submitted by
their respective governments for ap
proval, which will Include within its
provisions a method of arbitrating the
boundary line between Venezuela and
British Guiana.
The exact terms of this important
conference is not yet definitely settled
far less signed. On the contrary, verbal
changes are being continually sug
gested and agreed upon, or modified
by cable messages between the pleni
potentiaries and the British foreign
oflice. ut that the essential basis of
the treaty has been agreed upon Is
made clear in the correspondence
which Secretary Olney this afternoon
felt justified in making public after
Lord Salisbury's significant speech at
the London Mansion House last night.
The basis agreed on Is that In the "set
tled districts" a term of sixty years (or
two generations) of undiBturbed resi
dence, shall be considered as giving the
right to possession.'
The acceptance of this condition by
Great Britain It regarded as a distinct
concession. Inasmuch as It brings under
the award of the arbitration tribunal
(which is to consist of Ave disinterested
persons, not citizens of any American
State) all the districts which have been
settled since the celebrated Schomberg
line was drawn In 1840.
It may take some days further to ar
range details as to the time and place
of meeting of the tribunal, and as to
the selection ot the arbitrators, out
there is every reason to believe that the
president may be able to announce to
congress when It meets In December
next, the signing of the preliminary
protocol, and to submit it to the senate
for ratification.
That this Is a strong probability Is
made clear by the announcement auth
orized by the Venezuelan commission
this afternoon that It will suspend the
preparation of Its report for the present,
but will proceed with the compilation
of the Important data it has collected.
, SALISBURY'S SPEECH.
London, Nov. 10. The announcement
made by Lord Salisbury In his speech
at the Gutld hall last night of the
practical settlement of the Venezuelan
trouble has been received with ex
pressions of satisfaction by this after
noon's newspapers. The Pall Mall Ga
zette, In Its comments says that addi
tional enthuslas was given to the
satisfaction with which the premier's
declaration was received by the pres
ence of Mr. Bayard, United States am
bassador, at the banquet. "The solu
tion," the paper adds, "Is in every
way honorable, and final and will nat
urally strengthen the ties between the
two nations."
The Westminster Gazette thinks tha.t
both Lord Salisbury and Secretary Ol
ney are entitled to say that no prin
ciple for .which they originality con
tended Vis been sacrificed by them.
The Globe says the amicable and
honorable settlement of the difficulty
is creditable alike to the United States
and Great Britain.
The St. James Gazette says that the
question as to who Is to be the arbi
trator still remains to be settled. If
it Is to be the United States, the so
called settlement Involves a surrender
on the part of Great Britain, as the
United States has been a party to the
dispute and is not entitled to act as
its judge.
The St. James Gazette, In an article
In reference to Mr. Bayard's approach
ing retirement from the post of United
States ambassador in view of the re
sult of the presidential election, pays
tribute to his many high quulities, and
says that without reflection upon any
of his predecessors, no American min
ister since Lowell has been In all re
spects so acceptable to the English
people and London society. Mr. Bay
ard has expressed the appreciation of
his belief that the American law of
twenty years possession will prevail

bonds of the city of New York. The

immense amount of capital is now

failure of the offerings of small

tion at Issue was.
