WILLIAM L. STRONG
PASSES AWAY
One of the Most Celebrated of the
Mayors of New York City, Who
Was Unpopular but Left a
Clean Record.
By Exclusive Wile Iruni The Associated Piess.
New York, Nov. 2. William L.
Strong, tho last Mayor of the old city
of Naw York, died In his home, 12
AVest Fifty-seventh street, at 3 o'clock
this morning.
With him in the room at the time
of his denth were Mrs Strong. Major
Putnam Iiradlee Strong, his son; Mrs.
j Albert It. Shattuck, his daughter, and
I Mr. Shattuck anel three old servants.
The immediate cause of death was
I heart failure, which was brought on
by gout.
William r.afayeltc Strong was born fu Ohio
in 1827. He came to New York when a young
man, poor but with the determination In make
Ids way. He soon found cmploj nient with thu
house of O. Ir. Wilson & Co., with vhlc.h he re
mained until 1858, when he joined the house of
Fambani, Dale. 4: t'o. Tor twelve je.irs Mr.
Stiong lemaiucd with this home, until, on
Jan. 1, 1870, he f-taitid a business for himself.
The thill of William I.. Strong k Co., 73 Worth
sheet, nourished fiom the first nnd soon be
came ono of tin prominent wholesale dry goods
funis of Hie tity. As his business proHpcrcd,
Mr. Stiong beg.iu to interest himself in banking
allairs, ami became pii'sident of Ihe C'cntial
National bank.
In 1S04, when the rebun movement, the ill
icit le'sult of tho shucking l.eovv revelations,
gathered strength, Mr. ."strong becamu prominent
politically, lie was one of the leading members
of the committee of seventy, which guided the
movement to vietoiy, and ho be-cauie the rt
tonn candidate ior mayor. Democrats and Re
publicans united in supporting him with the
purpose of overthrowing Tammany. He plidged
himself to administer the illy governme-ut with
out reg.ud to political parties. The campaign
iisiiltid in the triumph of the reform movement.
Hugh ,1. (Jr. Hit, the Tammany cauflld.tte, was
defeated, and in .lamniy, ISM, Mayor Stiong
assumed the dutlis of his oflice.
As major of the old city of New York Mr,
Stiong tame even moie conspicuously before the
public than as a merchant, banker nnd member
of charitable Institutions, He was cleited as a
llepublic.in on a lion-partisan platform, and he
rallied out strictly the non-partisan or reform
plans according to Ids ideas. His ideas did not
fiiit the politician-, and in a short time after
lie begin dividing the ofliees he became the most
unpopular man in the illy of New York among
the p "liticians. They accused him of Ingrati
tude) ami bad faith, chaigiug him with making
piouiises before his election to distribute the
ntllees ci'ii illy among the machine men and re
founeis. Tim major denied this, and, with the
exception of thru or tour unimportant places,
he appointed none c.iept men who were never
identified with what is known us the regtihr
Itepubtlcau orgaiilzitlon.
On many occasions Mr. Strong's alleged decep
tion was made a subject of personal eoiitrnver-'y
between hinr and the aggrieved in the public
piess. Mtrr ill the heat of passion hrve openly
accused him in the mayor's ottlec of saying what
was 'not true. Mr. Strong kept an even temper,
and epiietly explained at siuh times that he had
merely changed hU mind. Notwithstanding the
many heart sores he is accused of having caused,
it is pointed out that Mr, Stiong, on tho other
hand, left the New Yorkers :i legacy that makes
up for all his shortcomings, and that is a clean
pulice lourt bench.
Voto for William Conuell for con
gress and sustain the administration
which brought about good times.

Chicago, Nov. 2. Senator Hanna, ad
dressed three meetings tonight, the
largest one being at Western avenue
and Bloomlngdnlo road, where the big
circus tent in which the meeting was
held was packed. IL was an orderly
meeting und In great contrast to the
somewhat exciting reception he had
last night. Senator Hanna spoke prac
tically without interruption. Mr. Bryan
spoke In this section of the northwest
side last night, and Senator Hanna de
voted most of his time to a discussion
of Imperialism and trusts, on which Mr.
Bryan dwelt chletly.
"It amounts almost to fanaticism and
chicanery," said Senator Hanna, "for
a man who aspires to the high oflice
of president to raise it question so for
eign to the principles and future of
our government as to talk about Im
perialism as an Issue. It Is but another
bogey man to frighten the people. A
man who ascribes the purposes to our
standing army that have been ascribed
In this campaign, knows that ho lies
when he says it. By his acts and his
words, Mr. Bryan is laying tho founda
tion in this country for socialism and
anarchy. He Is offering inducements to
men to destroy property, offering in
ducements to destroy the very founda
tions of the republic."

An Inquisitor at "Old Vienna" Pa
vilion Has a Narrow Escape from
Violence at the Hands of the Audi

the Porto Rico Issue and Alleges
That the Republicans Have
Amended the Declaration of Inde
pendence. Ily Exclusive Wire from The Associated Tross.
Chicago, Nov. 2. W. J. Bryan's pro
gramme in Chicago today comprehend
ed twelve speeches. The crowds that
greeted him were greater than those at
the meetings of yesterday and last
night. Tho candldntc began his Itiner
ary at Handel hall in tho down town
business district, going from thero to
the public library, where he spoke to un
outdoor gathering of worklngmen. Af
ter luncheon ho made two addresses in
"Old Vienna" pavilion, at Slxtietn
street and Cottage Grove avenue; one
to the crowd in the building and the
other to the throng that1 was unable to
gain admittance. Here was the only
semblance of dlstut banco manifest
during the day. Two men in the audi
ence asked almost simultaneously,
"How about North Carolina?" and as
Mr. Bryan was replying one of the
questioners insisted on asking a ques
tion concerning trusts, whereupon the
crowd demanded thut he bo thrown
out, and threatened to lynch him. Mr.
Bryan Insisted upon answering, how
ever, but could not do so for some time
owing to the uproar made by the crowd
In expressing Its resentment toward
the inquisitor. The latter was saved
from violence only by police interfer
ing. Sir. Bryan's night meetings were held
on the north, west, south, southwest
sides of the city, the closing speech
being mado at midnight nt State and
Thirty-first streets.
At the Old Vienna pavilion Mr. Bryan
began his evening round of speaking.
He said: "I want to show you ,that the
Republican party In order to maintain
Its position on the question of Imperial
ism has had to amend every instru
ment, every document that we have
been taught) to hold sacred. Tho He
publicans on tho Porto Ilicnn bill have
amended the constitution without go
ing through the ordinary processes of
amendment. The constitution provides
that an amendment can be made by
submitting the proposed amendment to
tho people of the states.
Republican Doctrine.
"The ltepublican doctrine is that a
president, created by a constitution, Is
bigger than the constitution which cre
ated him. If once a president outgrows
the constitution, there Is no way to
stop his growth, unless by presenting a
new constitution. Today the president
is exercising In Porto lllco, in time of
piofound peace, a power us despotic, as
dangerous and as damnable as any des
pot in Rurope ever exorcised.
"Tho Republicans havo so amended
thu declaration of Independence as to
make it read, 'We hold the.-o facts to
be self-evident that all men are cre
ated equal, except tho Filipinos. We
hold that ull men, except the Filipinos,
are endowed with inalienable rights.
We hold that governments are Insti
tuted among men lei secure the Inalien
able lishts to somu und to look after
tho others ns those who have rights
may think best. We hold this truth to
be self-evident thut governments de
rive their Just powers, not from tho
consent of the governed but from
superior force.'
"And we would rather keep tho dec
laration of Independence than get the

bravest men" ho had ever known, and
a Prohibition polltlcul club having
asked him how he reconciled this state
ment with the president's refusal to
abolish tho army canteen, the bishop

Times-Herald:
Kvanston, 111., Oct. M. To tin Editoi- Al
low me to answer tills question thruuiih sour
columns. I not only believe that President
McKlnley is one of the best and puicnt and
biavist (joeii I cvei knew, but I believe him tu
be a worthy su.'ecss-oi n( Abraham Lincoln, and
that his name will shine in history as one of
tin greatest president-, this nation ever had. I
believe that every causu that has its root in the
Ten Commandments and the sermon on -Unmount,
will be helped to vietoiy and suieess by
his re-election.
I answer thU question, not as n bishop, but
as an American citizen. ' Charles C. McCabe.

By ETclusiie Wire from The Associated Pros.
Paris, Nov. 2. A dispatch to Ilavas
agency from Pukln, duted October ::i,
Is as follows:
"The foreign ministers continued lo
day tho discussion of the peace propo
sitions to bo presented to thu Chinese.
The French propoMtls were accepted.
Additional specifications wilt be dis
cussed Monday. On account of the ne
cessity for thorough accord between
the different cabinets the final note will
not be presented for several weeks.
"General Voyron, commander In chief
of the French troops In China, with
the allies under his command, Is purg
ing tho villages around Tlen-Tsln and
Pekln. Many villages Infested with
Hoxers have been destroyed and their
inhabitants punished. A French col
umn sent to Tuen rescued tho mission
aries there. Another French column
met with resistance nt Slot-Chung. The
enemy's losses were considerable. The
village was burned."
Washington, Nov. 2. It was said to
day in quarters well versed in Chinese
affairs thut outside of the questions of
indemnity, punishments, etc., under ne
gotiation at Pekln, three vital ques
tions aro to bo determined, viz., tho
removul of the empress dowager, per
sonally und through tho Influence of
her advisors, from alt participation In
the Chinese government; the creation
of an indemnity fund by the Increase
of China's customs revenue, either by
tho payment of the duties in gold in
stead of depreciated silver as at the
present time, or else by doubling the
present silver duties from five per cent,
to ten per 'Cent, ud valorem, and the
establishment or a minister of foreign1
affairs, in place of the old and cumber
some system of the tsung-li-yamen.
The Responsibility.
The demand for tho retirement of
the empress dowager is tho outcome,
it Is said, of the conclusion generally
accepted ithat tho Imperial govern
or r'hlna wus responsible for the Box
er uprising. As tho empress dowager
was the tilling authority of the im
perial government during tho upris
ing, that responsibility. Is brought
home directly to her. It is understood,
however, that then is no purpose to
visit on her any perstmnul punMinient
or Indignity, but merely to exclude
her from all participation lit the gov
ernment. It is deemed tnlvNablu for
tint reason that she should remain
permanently away lrom Pekln and
that her advisers also should be kept
away from the sent or government.
The necessity of an Increase of
China') customs duties has heretofore
been brought lo tho attention of the
Vniied States government by Li Iluniy
Chain!. During his visit to Washing
ton a few years ago he pointed out
that the 5 per cenl. was llxed In 1851
by treaties with the United States.
'J rent Britain and other com. tries, iind
was payable In sliver, at which thus
silver was worth as much ns gold.
With the chiiuge. of value between
silver and gold, hoovr, the C per
cent, duty in silver uclually netted
only about 2 1-2 per cent., judged by
the prevailing gold sttuulnrel. Tho
mutter wus not pressed nt the time.
china's prisent customs revenues, It
la bald, are pledged to meet the inter
on and principal of Chlnso loans, so
that It will require some entirely new
source to meet the Indemnities.
Ir. r-iiso tho enlarged duties ore de
termined upon, it Is understood that
their colltctlon will ho placed under
the supervision nf representatives of
tho powers, at least until tho indem
nities have been paid,
Tho plan of substituting a nilutster
of foreign all'tiir.s in placn of the tsung-ll-yaiuen
hart long been contemplated,
as foiolgn leprcsenlittlveti huvo found
It very didlcult to deal with this ml:ed
body and to locate lesponslblllty upon
It, particularly during the Boxe
troubles,
