about Broad street station when the

OPPONENTS OP REPUBLICANISM
IN TRUE CHARACTER.
A Disgraceful Scene at Johnstown.
Tho Toughs Who Object to Re
publican Government Throw Oil
tho Mask of Decency and Act Nat
uial. Johnstown, Oct. 26. The most pro
nounced elements of the various so
called reformers, who are seeking to
'wreck tho Republican party in Penn
sylvania, were out in full force at the
Johnstown Opera houso tonight, ap
peared in their true light as hoodlums,
casting aside entirely tho mask of de
cency. Piobably never since tho troub
lous times prior to the war of the re
bellion, when free speech In many sec
tions of the country was attended vlth
danger, has such an exhibition been
given as that furnished by the rowdies
of Johnstown who are arrayed against
the Republican ticket.
Colonel William A Stone, Republican
candidate for governor, was hissed
and Jeeied and the meeting on the
whole was very disorderly'. The party
of campaigners was composed of Colon
el Stone, William I. Schaffer, of Dela
waie count v, Adjutant General Stew
art, Alex McDowell, a clerk of the
houso of representatives; nnd Joseph
E. Thropp, Republican candidate for
congress In this district.
TROUBLE TROM THE BEGINNING.
The meeting was addressed by every
member of the party except Thiopp.
Almost from the beginning of his nd
diess Colonel Stone was Interrupted by
the rougher element. He spoke of the
lnige audiences which have been greet
ing him In this remaikable campaign,
and said that while their opponents
were counting majoilties, they were
pursuing the even tenor of their way.
Ho devoted consldetablo of his address
to the question of what the state issues
teally ate, saying that It was not an
Issue to the people of the state vv bother
their state house had been destroyed
by accident or design; whether or not
Senator Kaufman was the author of
the bill to make banks pay Intel ests on
deposits, or whether the state paid too
much money for the use of Grace
church
lie said that the election of a Demo
cratic governor of Pennsylvania this
fall means the election of a Democratic
president in lOO At this stnge of his
remarks he was hissed and hooted He
continued by saying that when Penn
sylvania goes wrong the whole thing
goes wiong. This brought further dis
order and it continued at intervals un
til the sneaker letlred fiom the stage
His mention; of Bryan's name brought
forth cheers and hisses mingled.
The remarks of Messrs. Schaffer and
Stewart were Interrupted In a similar
manner. The paity came here from
Somerset, where a large crowd was ad
dressed this afternoon, the speech of
Colonel Stone being practically the
same as the one delivered heic.

CABINET MEETING.
President McKinley Calls Olllccrs To
gether in a Mysterious Way.
Philadelphia, Oct. 26. Immediately
after the reception to President McKin
ley tonight at the Union league, a
meeting of the chief executive and
those cabinet officers w ho arc In attend
ance with him at the Jubilee celebra
tion, was held at the Hotel Bellevue.
Those present besides the president
wero Postmaster General Smith, Seo
retary of War Alger, Secretary of Agri
culture Wilson and Solicitor General
Rlchaids, in place of Attorney Griggs.
The utmost secrecy attended the pro
ceedings and It was impossible to
learn for what purpose the meeting
was railed or what subjects were dls
cusssed. From an unofficial, though ordinarily
reliable source, it was gleaned that J.
C. Kellogg, private secretary to Sec
retary Hay, reached here tonight bear
ing Important dispatches from tho
state department. Neither Secretary
Porter or any of the cabinet ofllcers
could be seen after the meeting had
ended and no Information from other
sources could be obtained.
Tho meeting lasted nearly one hour
and was held In the president's room
In the hotel. Local detectives pre
vented any one from approaching tho
vicinity. Mr Kellogg, when question
ed about the mntter, admitted being
the beat or of a message, but said It
was purtly a personal one from Secre
tary Hav. That It was more than some
ordinary deliberation was apparent
from the fact that Mr. Kellogg reached
the Union league shortly before eleven
o'clock and was Immediately taken to
the president. He then left and went
to the hotel, the reception coming to
an end very shortly. After the pres
ident and cabinet had concluded their
dellbeintlons Mr. Kellogg left imme
diately for Washington in a special car.
It was reported some time after mid
night tlrat the president may leave
for Washington In the morning and
not reimln to review the military Jub
ilee paiade.
NIKOLA TESLA'S
LATEST SCHEME
Inventions That Excel the Possibili
ties of the Flying Machine of
"Daiius Gieen.'
Now- York, Oct. 26 Nikola Tesla, the
electrician, descrrbes In today's Issue
of the Electrical Review, a possibility
in electilc power transmission. His
inventions for transmitting electricity
at high pressure over long distances
have been successfully applied at many
natural sources of power. Piobably
the most Important o these plants in
tlie United States is at Niagara Tails,
costing over $6,000,000 to Install, which
supplies electricity to many large fac
tories and supplies electric power for
running the trolley llnwi of the city of
Buffalo, 26 miles distant. The an
nouncement is now made that by em
ploying an apparatus which ho had
Invented, capable of generating elec
tilcdl pressure vastly in excess of any
heretofore used, located at natural
sources of power, the current can be
conducted to a terminal maintained
at an elevation where the rarefied at
mosphere Is capable of conducting
freely the particular current produced,
then, at a distant point when the ener
gv is to be used commercially, to main
tain a second terminal at about the
same elevation to attract and lecelve
the curient and to convey it to eaith
through special moans fot transforming
and utilizing it.
With the articles nn lllustiatlnn is
pi esented, showing streams of clertii
clty issuing fiom a single teimlnal,
giving an estimated electiieal piesFure
of two and a half million volts. The
Electrical Review comments upon Mr.
Tesla h novel and stattlini, ideas as fol
lows. Tesla now proposes to submit, with
out tl.e use of any wlre3, thiough tho
nnturai media tho earth nnd the air
great amounts of power to distances
of thousands of miles. This will ap
peal a dieam a tale from the Ara
bian Nights but thoe-;tiaordlnary dls
eoveiles Tesla has made during a num
ber of yenis of Incessant labor, which
areauthorltatlvelydescribedln out pie
stnt Issue make It evident that Ms
work In this field has passed a stage
of laboratory oxpeilment, and is ready
for a practical test on an Industrial
scale The success of his eiTorts means
that powet from such sources as Nia
gara will become available in any part
of the world, regardless of distance"

General Thirteenth Regiment In Phil
adelphia THE CUBAN DEBT.
Paris Correspondents Believe That
Spain Cannot Bo Forced to Pay.
London, Oct. 27. The Pails corre
spondent of the Times says
"At today's (Wednesday's) sitting the
Spanish peace commissioners presented
a new counter memorandum, declaring
their readiness provisionally to accept
anyartlcle of a prellmlnarytreatystlpu
latlng that Spain shall relinquish all
rights to sovereignty in Cuba without
formulating any other claim, and to
leave in suspense all remaining ques
tions, especially the Philippines.
"The Americans asked time until to
morrow (Thursday) to reply to this
new memorandum This Is regarded
as a favorable sign, being a slight te
laxatlon of the rigidity the Americans
have hitherto shown. Thev ate per-
haps aware that the Cubntr and even
the Spanish bonholdeis are becoming
alarmed at the strange turn of the
alarmed at thestrange turnof thellnan
cial side of the discussion with which
Spain, the United States and Cuba,
with extraoidinary unanimity nnd
carelessness all lepudiate thu Cuban
debt.
"Nobody will be able to force Spain
to accept the debt, for, apart from
bankruptcy, she could only meet the
liability at tho expense of her foreign
bondholders, who, bv a strange an
omaly, would thus have to pay for the
Independence of Cuba. It Is not llkelv
that either the United States or any
other power can or will force Spain to
ruin herself by meeting the Cuban debt,
and It will then either be a total lo"s
for Europe or be paid by tho Spanish
bondholders
"If, in these circumstances, an agree
ment cannot be effected, Ameilea will
Indeed be wise to refer the question to
the nibltratlon of Impartial men, en
tltely dislntetested in this delicate mat
ter." SWALLOW'S TOUR.
He Speaks of Guffey and Gaiman at
Uniontown.
Connellsv ille. Pa., Oct. '6 Dr.
Swallow spoke this morning at 10
o'clock In the opeia house at Union-
town, addressing a huge audience.
During his speech the doctor said
Fiom the beginning of the campaign
there has boon a studied eftort by the
Quny-1'lkln machine on the one hand
and the Guftoy-Garman mac nine on
the other to fence false Issues upun
the people and by moans of all the old
tricks known to the machine politics
to deceive the people and continue
themselves in power. .The most re
cent development Is the attempts ot
the Jenks papers in the w ostein part
of the state to make It appear that
there Is a gieat slump lrom the Hon
est Government column to that of the
Guffey -Garnian.
'The Pltttsbiug papeis with gieat
display heads proclaim that thousands
who weie within the Honest dov em

seeking cover in the Democratic col
umn. "They say that 7." dOu votcus have
suddenly left us At this late we shall
soon bo bankrupt, losing nioro votes

The Ir consistency nnd insincerity of
their statements and predictions aro
apparent to all tninking men. It Is
nn illustration of the wish being father
to the thought, but the people cannot
be deceived. It Mi yonks werj elect

no doubt stlive to execute with llelel
lty the promises which ho is making
In his many speeches. But could ho
do so with tire Guffey-Garman ma
chine behind him?
"It Is possible tint wo miy find an
answer to the question in tho hlstoiy
of other administrations. Governoi
Pattlson was first nominated ami
elected ns the candidate of the Demo
ciatlc party, but the Democint ma
chine which w is for a part of one
I term held largely In abeyance by tho
I intense personality and loyalty to high
principles of Mr Pattlson Anally ex
cited its power and Governor Pattl
son fell a victim to Its dictation.
While only the initial evidence of this
yielding became apparent to lew in
his first term it was patent to all in
his second teini."

HALT IN THE
PEACE TALK
Spanish Commissioners
May Return to
Madrid.
TROUBLE IN THE CABINET
Tho Political Situation at Madrid
May Compel tho President of tho
Spanish Commission, to Leovo
Paris An OpenCrislsProbablyHaa
Been Avoided by tho Consideration
of the Americans.
Paris, Oct. 26. The meeting of tho
peace commissloncis today lasted an
hour and live minutes and then ad
journed until tomorrow. Both tho
Spanish nnd Amerlcnn commissioners
wero mom reticent after this session
than ev or before.
Tho Americans fully appreciate no
only their own serious responsibili
ties, but also the delicate position ot
their Spanish colleagues, to the bur
den of whose duties hero la now added
tho critical political situation at Mad
rid, which may compel the president
of the Spanish commission, (who la
also president of tho Spanish sonate)
Senor Montero Rlos, to leave Paris.
The Madrid correspondent ot the
Temps in confirming tho report that
Premier Sagasta and the queen regent
have prevailed upon tho minister of
war. General Correa, to indefinitely
postpone- his resignation, pending thd
conclusion of the peace negotiations,
favs that they reprcsnted to tho gen
ert! t! at his vlthlrawal might entail
not only the fall of the cabinet, but
cause the leslgnatlon of certain mem
bers of the Spanish commission, includ
ing Senor Montero Rlos, and thereby
gravely compromise the Issue ot tho
per e negotiations
Tit) conespondent of the Temps
adds
' Tho net result Is that an open crisis'
seems to have been avoided until the
conclj-lon of the tieaty of peace. In
any case, this has done away with
the necessity for the adoption of an
nil Interim government, which was
lately suggested as likely to bo til's
only solution of the present dlfflcul
tlrj. "
An the neace negotiations are m,v
fating the decision of the Philippine
qutMtion, the Americans feel that no
slant1 ut the proceedings hat so de
manded their considerate treatment.
It may not be stated tonight with
certainty that the Cuban question has
urnved Its last "onslderatlon b the
Aiitilcait" noi that tl.- Snanlarels
have accepted as ultimate the United
States' icfusal to lesume any portion
of tl.e Cuban d 'bt
It may, however, be afFunied that tp
Thll.. tine cui4l,in was not l cached
today, but It m ly be discussed at to
morrow's session which will be the
tli st occasion during these negotiations
of a Joint session of the commissions
being held on succeeding davs,
which fact Is in some degree signifi
cant. THE PHILIPPINES QUESTION.
Washington, Oct. 26. There nre indi
cations that the peace commissioners
in Paris aie approaching the end of tho
consideration of tlte subject of Cuba
und Poi to Rico and otllcials hero would
not bo surpiised if today's session ot
the commission concluded thoe sub
jects, leaving the commission freely to
take up the most Important matter In
tlie piotocol, namely, the disposition of
the Philippines. The SpanMi case has
been presented with an ability and a
directness that commands the ndmlra
tlon of diplomats without regard to na
tionality, and even our own otllclnls
have been compelled to yield a tribute
of respect to tho arguments produced,
but they have been of no avail In ef
fecting anv substantial chance In the
(list attitude of the American commls
sioneis, who are holding firmly to the
line of procoduie oiiglnally outlined
It Is expected heie that henceforth,
after tlie eouiteous intimation that has
boon conveyed to tlie Spanish commis
slonois that It Is tlmo to regard tho
Cuban and Poito Rlcan matters as
settled, better progress will bo mado
townrds the final conclusion of a treaty
of peace.
