after the election of that year. In an
addr. ss to the bimct.illlsts. s.iiil:
••The fri of bimetallism have not

Si I » er Still the Heal l.H.iue.
The i«>licy thus proclaimed has been
accept' .! and confirmed by these parties.
The Silver Hemolytic platform of 1900
continues the warfare against the so-call
ed gold conspiracy when it expressly savt
"we reiterate the demand of that (the
Chicago) platform of for an American
tln.incl.il system made by the American
p.-ople for themselves, which shall restore
and maintain a bimetallic price level, and
as part of such system the immediate
restoration of the free and unlimited
coin me of silver and gold at the present
ratio of 16 to 1. without waiting for the
aid or consent of any nation.
So the issue is presented. It will be
noted that tin- demand is for tin- immedi
ate restoration of the free coinage of
silver it Pi to 1. If another issue is para
mount. this is Immediate. It will admit of
no delay and will suffer no postponement.
Quoting from the platforms of the Pop
ulist and Silver Republicans the letter
continues:
In all three platforms these parties an
nounce that their efforts shall be unceas
ing until the gold act shall be blotted
from the statue books and the free and
unlimited coinage of silver at 1(1 to 1 shall
take its place.
The relative importance of the isaueß
1 do not stop to discuss. All of them are
important. Whichever party is success
ful will be bound in conscience to carry
into administration and legislation Its
several declarations and do'trlnes. Dm
declaration will be as obligatory as an
other. but all are not Immediate. It is
not possible that these parties would
treat the doctrine of 16 to I.the immedi
ate realization of which is demanded by
their several platforms, as void and in
operative in the event that they should
be clothed with power. Otherwise their
profession °f faith is Insincere. It is
therefore th< imi" rative business of those
opposed to this financial heresy to pre
vent the triumph of the parties whose
union is only assured by adherence to the
silver issue. Will tin Amerii an people,
through Indifference or fancied security,
hazard the overthrow of the wise finan

'I construction and control by the
government of a maritime canal to con- 1
met tie Atlantic and Pacific oceans is
.-trore i\ urged, and on the subject of
tvi ;t: the president says:
combinations of capital which control i
the market in commodities to the general I
us.- of the people, by suppressing natural I
uinl ordinary competition, thus enhancing j
prices to the general consumer, are ob- ;
noxious to the common law and the pub- |
lie welfare. They are dangerous con- i
spira i> s against the public good, and i
should be made the subject of prohibi- I
tory or penal legislation. Publicity will I
b»- a helpful influence to check this evil, i
Uniformity of legislation in the several i
stat.-s s:„,-iid tie secured. DimTimination
between what is injurious and what is i
useful and necessary in business opera- 1
tions is essential to the wise and effective 1
treatment of this subject. TTonest co- '
operation of capital is necessary to meet i
new business conditions and extend our |
rapidly increasing foreign trade, but con- |
spiracies and combinations intended to I
restrict business, create monopolies and j
control prices should be effectively re
strained.
The best service which can be rendered
to labor is to afford it an opportunity for
steady and remunerative employment,
and give it every encouragement for ad
vancement. The policy that subserves
this end is the true American policy. The
past three years have been more satisfac
tory to American workingmen than many
preceding years. Any change of the
present industrial or financial policy of
the government would be disastrous to
their highest interests. With prosperity
at home and an increasing foreign mar
ket for American products, employment
should continue to wait upon labor, and
with the present gold standard the work
ingrnan is secured against payments for
his labor in a depreciated currency. For
labor a short day is better than a short
dollar; one will lighten the burdens; the
other lessens the rewards of toil. The
one will promote contentment and inde
pendence; the other penury and want.
The wages of labor should be adequate
to keep the home in comfort, educate the
children and. with thrift and economy,
lay something by for the days of in
firmity and old age.
Practical civil service reform has al
ways had the support and encourage
ment of the Republican party. The fu
ture of the merit system is safe in its
hands.

(iratitude to the- Soldiers.
The American people are profoundly
grateful to the soldiers, sailors and ma
rines who have in every time of conflict
fought their country's battles and de
fended its honor. The survivors and the
widows and orphans of those who have
fallen are justly entitled to receive the
generous and considerate care oi the na
tion. Few are now left of those who
fought In the Mexican war. and while
many of the veterans of the civil war are
still spared to us, their numbers are rap
idly diminishing and age and infirmity
are increasing their dependence. These,
with the soldiers of the Spanish war,
will not be neglected by their grateful
countrymen.
We have been in possession of Cuba
since the first of January. 18&9. We have
restored order and established domestic
tranquility. We have fed the starving,
clothed the naked and ministered to the
sick. We have improved the sanitary
condition of the island. We have stim
ulated industry, introduced public educa
tion, and taken a full and comprehensive
enumeration of the inhabitants. The
qualification of electors lias been settled
and under it officers have been chosen for
all the municipalities of Cuba. These
local governments are now in operation,
administered by the people. Our mili
tary establishment has been reduced from
$43,000 to less than $6,000. An election has
been ordered to be held on the 15th of
September, under a fair election law al
ready tried in the municipal elections, to
choose members of a constitutional con
vention, and the convention of the same
order is to assemble on the lirst Monday
of November to frame a constitution
upon which an iinli pendent government
for the island will rest. All this is a
long step in the fulfillment of our sacred
guarantees to the people of Cuba.
We hold Porto Rico by the same title
as the Philippines. The treaty of peace
which ceded us the one conveyed to us
the other. Congress has given to this
island a government in which the inhabi
tants participate, elect their own legisla
ture. enact their own local laws, provide
their own system of taxation, and in
these respects have the same power and
privileges enjoyed by other territories be
longing to the United States, and a much
larger measure of self government than
was given to the inhabitants of Louisiana
under Jefferson.
All of the duties from Nov. 1, IR9B, to
| June 30. 1900, aggregating the sum of $2,-
I 250.523.21, paid at the custom houses in the
United States upon Porto Rican products,
under the laws existing prior to the re
cent a< t of congress, have gone into the
treasury of Porto Rico to relieve the des
titute, and for schools and other public
purposes. In addition to this we have
expended for relief, education and Im
provement of roads the sum of $1,513,-
1W4.W5. The United States military force
in the island has been reduced from 11,000
to 1,500, and native Porto Ricans consti
tute for tlie most part the local con
stabulary. Under the new law and the
inauguration of civil government there
has been a gratifying revival of business.
The president then enters Into an ex
haustive discussion of the events pre
ci-diiiK and during the war with Spain.
| the i.jipointment of the various commis
sions and quotes at length from his In
structions to the commissioners and their
reports. Addressing the Paris peace com
mission on Nov. 13, IN9B, the president
said:
Our OhllicationH to the Klllpinoa.
"From the standpoint of indemnity both
the archipelagoes (Porto Rico and thu
Philippines) are insufficient to pay our
war expenses, but aside from this do we
not owe an obligation to the people of the
i Philippines which will not permit us to
return them to the sovereignty of Spain?
Could we justify ourselves in such a
course or could we permit their barter
to some other power? Willing or not we
have the responsibility of duty which we
cannot escape. * * * The president
cannot believe any division of the arch
ipelago can bring us anything but em
barrassment in the future. The trade and
commercial side, as well as the indemnity
for the cost of the war, are questions we
might yield. They might be waived or
compromise d. but the questions of duty
and humanity appeal to the president so
strongly that he can find no appropriate
answer but the one he has here marked
out."
Referring to the commission appointed
In January, 1899, consisting of Jacob G.
Schurman. Admiral Dewey, Charles Den
by, Dean C. Worcester and Major General
Otis, the president says:
As early as April, 1*99. the Philippine
commission, of which Dr. Schurman was
president, endeavored to bring about
peace in the islands by repeated confer
ences with leading Talalogs representing
the so-called insurgent government, to
the end that some general plan of gov
ernment might be offered them which
they would accept. So great was the sat
isfaction of the insurgent commission
ers with the form of government pro
posed by the American commissioners
that the latter submitted the proposed
scheme to me for approval, and my ac
tion thereon is shown by the following
cable message of May 9. 1899:
"You an- authorized to propose that un
der the milit try power of the president,
pending action of congress, government of
the Philippine islands shall consist of a
governor general appointed by tlie presi
dent. cabinet appointed by the governor
g. in-ral, a g. ni ral advisory council elect
ed by the people, the qualifications of
electors to be carefully considered and
determined, and tin: governor general to
have absolute veto; Judiciary strong and
Independent: principal judges appointed
| by the president, tlie cabinet and judges
i to In chosen from natives or Americans,
or both, having regard for fitness. The
president earnestly desires the cessation
of bloodshed, and that the people of, the
Philippine aids ,t an early date will
have the larg. measure of local self gov

i the control."
I The instructions conclude with the proc
I lamation issued by Gen. Mac-Arthur on
| June 21. 1900, by order of the president,
offering amnesty to the rebellious Fili
pinos. The president continues:
Under their instructions the commis
! sion, composed of representative Ameri
cans in different sections of the country
and from different political parties, whose
character and ability guarantee the most
faithful intelligence and patriotic service,
are now laboring to establish stable gov
ernment under civil control, in which the
inhabitants shall participate, giving them
opportunity to demonstrate how far they
are prepared for self government.
Tlie CoiuiotaioiierM ((■iiiti-d.
This commission, under date of Aug. 21,
1900, makes an interesting report from
which 1 quote the following extracts:
"Hostility against Americans originally
aroused by absurd falsehoods of unscru
pulous leaders. The distribution of troops
in three hundred posts has by contact
largely dispelled hostility and steadily
improved the temper of the people. This
improvement is furthered by abuses of
insurgents. I.arge numbers of people
long for peace and are willing to accept
government under the United States.
Insurgents not surrendering after defeat
divided into small guerrilla bands under
general officers or become robbers. Near
ly all of the prominent generals and poli
ticians of the insurrection except Agui
naldo have since been captured or have
surrendered and taken the oath of al
legiance. * * All northern Luzon except
two provinces substantially free from in
surgents. People busy planting, and ask
ing for municipal organization. Railway
and telegraph line from Manila to
Dagupan, 122 miles, not mtdested for five
months. • » » Tagalogs alone active
in leading guerrilla warfare. In Negros,
Cebu. Romblon, Masbate, Sibuyan, Tab
las. Bohol and other Philippine islands
little disturbance exists and civil gov
ernment eagerly awaited. * * * Four
years of war and lawlessness in parts of
islands have created unsettled conditions.
• • » Native constabulary and militia,
which should be organized at once, wiil
end this and the terrorism to which de
fenseless people are subjected. The na
tives desire to enlist in these organiza
tions. If judiciously selected and officered
will be efficient forces for maintenance of
order and will permit early material re
duction of United States troops. * * *
Turning islands over to coterie of Tagalog
politicians will blight fair prospects of
enormous improvement, drive out capital,
make life and property, secular and relig
ious, most insecure: banish by fear of
cruel proscription considerable body of
conservative Filipinos who have aided
Americans in well founded belief that
their people are now fit for self gov
ernment. and reintroduce same oppression
and corruption which existed in all prov
inces under Malolos insurgent govern
ment during' the eight months of its con
trol. The result will be factional strife
between jealous leaders, chaos and an
archy.
The commission is confident that "by
a judicious customs law, reasonable land
tax and proper corporation franchise
tax, imposition of no greater rate than
that in average American state will
produce revenues sufficient to pay
expenses of efficient government, in
cluding militia and constabulary."
They "are preparing a stringent
civil service law giving equal opportunity
to Filipinos and Americans, with prefer
ence for former where qualifications are
equal, to enter at lowest rank arid by
promotion reach head of department. *
* • Forty-five miles of railroad exten
sion under negotiation will give access
to a large province rich in valuable min
erals, a mile high, with strictly temperate
climate. • • • Railroad construction
will give employment to many and com
munication will furnish market to vast
stretches of high agricultural lands."
The Demand For iOdncatlon.
They report that there are "calls from
all parts of the islands for public schools,
school supplies and Knglish teachers,
greater than the commission can provide
until a comprehensive school system is
organized. Night schools for teaching
English to adults are being established in
response to popular demand. Native chil
dren show aptitude in learning English.
Spanish is spoken by a small fraction of
people, and in a few years the medium
of communication in the courts, public
offices and between different tribes will
be English."
This shows to my countrymen what has
been and is being done to bring the bene
fits of liberty and good government to
these wards of the nation. Every effort
has been directed to their peace and pros
perity. their advancement and well being,
not for our aggrandizement. nor for
pride of might, not for trade or com
merce. not for exploitation, but for hu
manity and civilization, and for the pro- i
tection of the vast majority of the popu
lation who welcome our sovereignty !
against the designing minority whose
first demand after the surrender of
Manila by the Spanish army was to
enter the city that they might loot It and
destroy those not in sympathy with their
selfish and treacherous designs.
Nobody who will avail himself of the
facts will longer hold that there was any
alliance between our soldiers and the in
surgents. or that any promise of Inde
pendence was made to th. in. Long before
their leader had reached Manila they had
resolved. If the commander of the Ameri
can navy would give ?h> m arms with
which to fight the Spanish army, they
would later turn upon us, which they
did murderously and without the shadow
of cause or justification. There may be
thos* without the means of full Informa
tion who believe that we were In alliance
with the insurgents and that we assured
them that they should have independence.
In the report of the first Philippine com
mission, submitted on Nov. 2. IS9S, Ad
miral Dewey, one of Its members, said:
"No alliance of any kind was entered
Into with Agulnaldo, nor was any prom
ise of independence made to him at any
time."
Gens. Merritt, Greene and Anderson,
who were In command at the beginning
of our occupation, and until the surrender
of Manila, state that there was no alli
ance with the insurgents, and no promlso
to them of independence. On Aug. 17.
IS9S, Gen. Merritt was instructed that
there must be no joint occupation of Man
ila with the insurgents. Gen. Anderson,
under date of Feb. 10. 1900, says that ha
was present at the interview between Ad
miral Dewey and the insurgent leader
and that in this Interview Admiral Dewey
made no promises whatever.
Would not our adversaries have sent
Dewey's fleet to Manila to capture and
destroy the Spanish sea power there, or,
dispatching it there, would they have
withdrawn It after the destruction of the
Spanish lleet, and If the latter whither
would they have directed ft to sail?
Where could It have gone? What port
in tin- Orient was opened to It? Do not
our adversaries condemn the expedition

And was it not our duty to protect the

The effect of a belief ill the minds of
the insurgents that this will be done has
already prolonged the rebellion and in—
cii as's tin- in ' - sity for the eontinuanco
of a large army. It is now delaying full (
peace in the archipelago and the estab- !
lishnieiit of civil governments, and has J
Influenced many of the Insurgents against
accepting the liberal terms of amnesty!
offered by Gen. Mac Arthur under my di- [
ruction. Hut for these false hopes a con- \
siderable reduction could have been had
in our military establishment in tho
Philippines, and the realization of a stahla
gov* rnnieiit would be already at hand.
The American people will not make the I
murderers of our soldiers the agents of
the republic to convey the blessings of \
liberty and rder to th* Philippines. They |
will not in: ke them the builders of the)
new commonwealth. Such a course would i
be a betrayal of our sacred obligations to
the peaceful Filipinos, and would place'
at the mercy of dangerous adventurers .
th* lives and property of the natives and
foreigners. It would make possible and |
easy the commission of such atrocities as :
were secretly planned to be executed on
the -2d of February. 1599. in the city of
Manila, when only the vigilance of our
army prevented the attempt.
No government can so certainly pre- |
serve the peace, restore public order, es- I

as ours. Neither congress nor the ex
ecutive can establish a stable government
In these islands except under our right |
of sovereignty, our authority and our j

not do it as a protectorate power so com- i

There were those who two years ago j
were rushing us onto war with Spain I
who are unwilling now to accept its clear
consequence, as there are those among
us who advocated the ratification oft in
treaty of peace, but now protest against
its obligations. Nations which goto war
must be prepared to accept its resultant
obligations, and when they make treaties
must keep them.
Those who profess to distrust the lib

Philippines are not justified. Imperialism
has no place in its creed fir conduct. Free
dom is the rock upon which the Repub
lican party is builded and now rests. Lib
erty is the wxeat Republican doctrine
for which the people went to war. Our
opponents may distrust themselves, but
they have no right to discredit the good
faith and patriotism of the majority of
the people, who are opposed to them;
they may fear the worst form of imperial
ism with the helpless Filipinos in th jr
hands, but if they do it is because they
have parted with the spirit and faith of
the fathers and have lost the virility of
the founders of the party which they
profess; to represent.
Km l>l em of ICiglitf-.1 Sovereignty.
If our opponents would only practice as ;
well as preach the doctrines of Abraham
Lincoln there would be no fear for the |
safety of our institutions at home or the
rightful influence in any territory over
which our Hags floats. Empire has been
expelled from l'orto Rico and the Philip*
pines by American freemen. The flag of
the republic now floats over these islands
as an emblem of rightful sovereignty.
Will the IN pr.hlic stay and dispense to
their Inhabitants the blessings of liberty,
education and free institutions, or steal
away, leaving them to anarchy or im
perialism ?
The American question is between duty
and desertion—the American verdict will
be for duty and against desertion, for the
republic, against both anarchy and im
perialism.
The country has been fully advised of
the purposes of the United States In
China, and they will be faithfully ad
herred to as already defined. Tht» peo
ple not alone of this land, but of all
lands have watched and prayed through
the Urrible stress and protracted agony
of the helpless sufferers in Pckln. and
while at tinns thi dark tidings seemed
to make all hope vain, the rescuers
never faltered in the heroic fulfillment
of their noble task, a success that
is now the cause of a world's rejoicing.
Not only have we reason for thanksgiv
ing for our material blessings, but we
should rejoice In the complete unification
of th. p, i,pie of all sections of our coun
try that has so happily developed In the
Inst tew years and made for us a roun
perfect union.
The obliteration of old differences, th*
common devotion to tin flag and the com
mon sacrifices for its honor, so con
spicuously shown by the men of the
north ami south in the Spanish war, have
so stn ngthened the ties of friendship and
mutual resi ct that nothing can aver
again dlvldi us. The nation faces ths
in w ccnturj gratefully and hopefully,
with Increasing love of country, with
firm faith In its free instituti >ns, and
with high i solve that they "shall not
perish from the earth."
Ilpmni'mur Mine senator I hotrn,
Lewistcr., Me., Sept. 12. —Belated
election returns from all over the state
came in yesterday, but with the ex
ception of Knox county very few
showed any decided change from those
received Monday night. The estimates
sent out then held good all day,
and with 375 cities, towns and planta
tions heard from out of a total of 512,
the estimated Republican pluraility for
the state ticket remains at 32,000. The
returns show a Republican loss of 11
per cent and a Democratic gain of 22
per cent.
Perhaps one of the most notable fea
tures of the election was the Demo
cratic victory in Knox county, where,
owing to labor troubles, every Repub
lican candidate was badly knifed, and
only Congressman Littlefield and Sher
iff Ultner succeeded in coming out
ahead of their opponents. The Demo
cratic candidate for governor carried
the county and pulled along with him
the senatorial candidate, L. H. Staples,
of Washington, and the latter will have
the distinction of being the only Dem
ocrat in the upper branch of the legis
lature. The Republicans will probably
be able to muster next winter 155 votes
on the joint ballot for William I'. Fryo
for United States senator.

Pouglikeepsie, N. Y.. Sept. 8. —Coro-
ner Btvier, of Matteawan, held an in
quest yesterday in the case of the
skeleton found in an old well on a
farm near Stormville, Dutchess county,
nearly tw6 weeks ago. The inquest es
j tablished the identity of the remains
: as those of Charles Brower, a hand
who worked on the farm when it was
| worked by Peter Austin and who dis
! appeared 11 years ago.
It was shown that Austin and Brow-
I er had a light two months before the
latter disappeared. In the encounter
blower's leg was broken, and as it was
never properly set the broken bones
were seen in the skeleton found in the
| well, thus establishing the identity be
yond preadventure. It was further
; shown by witnesses that there was bad
feeling between the two men. Austin
1 owed Brower for some farm machin
ery, and the latter threatened to put
a lien on the farm. On July 2, 1888,
j they had a quarrel and left the house
l together. Austin returned, but Brow
er was never seen again. Some time
later Austin filled up the well and two
! years ago sold the farm and bought
i another some distance away.
! Austin was taken into custody, and
is now in jail here charged with mur
! der in the first degree. He denies his
1 guilt.
SERIOUS BICYCLE ACCIDENT.

j New Haven, Sept. 12. —As the result
! of a spill at the Coliseum board track
I last night Miller, the six-day champion
' of the world, it is feared, sustained
I concussion of the brain and Archie Mc-
I Eaehern, of Canada, was also badly
j Injured. The pacemakers on the motor
i tandems were all more or less injured.
Miller and McEaehern were riding in
the six-days race (one hour a night),
! and coming into the last lap of the
thirty-second mile the McEaehern
tandem sustained a puncture, and the
swift Canadian rider ran full tilt into
his pacemakers. He was hurled high
into the air and landed among the
spectators. The injured motor then
started straight down the track into
the path of the Miller motor, which
was coming around the turn at a ter
rific clip, with the result that there
was a collision, and the men on both
machines were thrown into heap.
Miller, who was riding very close be
hind his machine, was thrown into the
air fully ten feet and landed on the
left side of his head against the press
box. His condition was found to be so
serious that he was removed to the
hospital.

while enormous fortunes have changed

New York, Sept. B.—Former Police j
Commissioner Frank Moss, on behalf j
of the recently organized Citizens' Pro
tective League, late yesterday after- i
noon preferred charges against Chief g
of Police Devery, Inspector Thompson j
and Acting Captain Cooney, of the t
West Thirty-seventh street station. He r
accuses them of brutality, neglect of t
duty and incompetency in their method <
of treating the race riots in the West ]
Side. It is stated that the league has
evidence against the chief and his sub- l
ordinates that the police commission- i
ers cannot ignore. Frank Moss will ]
act as counsel for the league. He has i
a staff of men at work on the testi- i
mony. i
The investigation of the charge of i
clubbing and other forms of brutalities ]
made by colored people against the i
police of the West Thirty-seventh i
street station, after the recent race
troubles, which the police commis- i
sioners were asked by the mayor to ;
hold, began yesterday in the trial room j
at police headquarters, President York i
presiding.
The first complainant, W. J. Elliott, i
appeared with his counsel, and the So- ]
ciety for the Prevention of Crime was
also present by counsel.
Elliott, who had been arrested in a
pawn shop while pricing some revol- ■
vers, claimed that after having been 1
placed in custody he had been taken j
to a police station, where, as he was j
being led through the muster room, he
had been beaten almost into insensi- j
bility by a crowd of policemen. He :
was corroborated by two other colored I
men. A number of officers, when |
questioned by President York, denied
the alleged attack in the station.
Elliott was represented by Attorney
Ludlow, but President York refused I
to let the lawyer examine hia client or j
cross examine the policemen. Ludlow '
protested in vain, Mr. York taking the
ground that as the attorney represent- j
ed a number of clients who have
brought suit against the city for injur- j
les received in the riots he did not pur- j
pose allowing the investigation to be
the means of furnishing evidence |
against the city in these suits. To the j
charge made by the attorney that the
Investigation was simply a whitewash,
President York threatened to have the
lawyer expelled from the room.
Attorney Frank Moss, prominent in
the recent investigation of vice in this
city, also appeared at the police in
vestigation. He represented the So- i
ciety for the Prevention of Crime, the l
City Vigilance League and the Citizens' ,
Protective League, the latter being the I
organization of colored men formed
since the riot. Mr. Moss, not satisfied
at the way the investigation was go
ing, asked if he would be allowed to
examine his witnesses and cross ex
amine the policemen. President York
declined to give him this privilege.
Thereupon Mr. Moss entered a protest
and filed with the president the formal
charges against Chief of Police Dev
ery, Inspector Thompson and Acting
Captain Cooney.
The investigation will be resumed on
Friday next.

THE WRECK ON THE READING.
I'lir (Oiiipitii> iiikl Several Mniplo<fi
livid llt KpoiiNll.l.- For tlx- Horror.
Lansdale, Pa., Sept. 8. —The cor
aner's jury which has been investigat
ing the causes of the wreck on the
Philadelphia and Reading railroad at
Hatfield on last Sunday morning, in
which 13 persons were killed and over
BO injured, yesterday rendered a ver
dict fixing the responsibility upon the
railroad company. Engineer John Da
vis and Conductor Thomas Shelby, of
the colliding excursion train, D. B.
Beidler, telegraph operator at Souder
ton, which is next to Hatfield, and \V.
S. Groves, train dispatcher in the
Reading Terminal station at Philadel
phia.
The extent to which the company is
held responsible is in its failure to
strictly observe the rule requiring five
minutes at least between trains, and
the absence of a block signal system.
The jury recommends a strict observ
ance of the live minute rule and the
continuation of the block system to
Bethlehem.
Engineer Davis is condemned for reck
lessly running his train ahead of time
and for running past the red flag which
Flagman Benners had shown at the
trossing at Souderton after the milk
train had passed. Conductor Shelby
is condemned for allowing Davis to
run the train in the manner he did.
Beidler is condemned for neglect of
duty in failure to raise the red board
after the milk train had gone by.
The jury expresses the opinion that
Groves, the train dispatcher, did not
perform his duty, having failed to keep
in touch with the milk train and the
first section of the excursion train.
Coroner McGlathery said last night
that arrests would be made in the near
future.
Wreck Victim Critically 111.
Lansdale, Pa., Sept. 8. —Wellington
H. Rosenberry. a member of the Penn
sylvania house of representatives from

in the Hatfield wreck on Sunday, is
reported to be in a precarious condi
tion. He had been improving, but yes
terday afternoon he took a turn for
the worse. Three doctors are constant
ly at his bedside.
MURDERER TRIED SUICIDE
(Irranar Me Objeeted to Ileitis Hansr
ed by a Political Opponent.
Wilmington. N. C., Sept. 8. —Rather
than be hanged at the hands of a Re
publican or Populist, as he declared,
Archie Kinsauls, a condemned white
murderer, who was sentenced to be
hanged yesterday at Clinton, Sampson
county, yesterday morning made two
unsuccessful attempts to commit sui
cide in his cell, one by cutting his
throat from ear to ear and another by
taking morphine, the means for his
self destruction having been furnish
ed by sympathizers and secreted by
him in his cell until a few hours be
fore his execution was appointed to
take place. Under the circumstances,
and because local ministers of the Gos
pel admonished the governor that the
condemned man was not ready to die,
the chief executive has granted tlie
murderer a respite for one week, but a
special dispatch says that physicians
declare his condition very critical
from the wound in his throat.
Kinsauls, himself a Democrat, is con
demned to die for the killing of a Pop
ulist in Senator Butler's county in the
heated political campaign of IS9B.
While it is urged that politics did not.
enter into the murder, from the fact
that Democrats have been most urgent
in demanding the execution, feeling has
been high, and before %is conviction in
court he was liberated from jail by
friends and he bade defiance to the
law, and evaded capture for nine
months, during which time he re
mained in his own county, and was at
last shot down by a posse and again
placed in jail.
AN INFANT HEROINE.
ElfCht-Year-Old <;irl Maimed Tor Life
In Snvine a Train.
Round Rrook, N. J.. Sept. 10.—Little
Maria Santello, only 8 years old, de
liberately risked her life to save the
Chicago express on the Lehigh Valley
railroad near here yesterday. Six men
were engaged in carrying discarded
railroad ties to a wagon when they
heard a train approaching. Dropping
a heavy tie across the track they fled
for life. Little Maria ran to the track,
and though the men below commanded
her to abandon her life saving work,
she rolled the tie down the embank
ment. The express was then close upon
her and the trestle over Middle Brook
was only a feet ahead. With presence
of mind the little heroine ran ahead of
the engine and dropped between the
ties of the trestle. But instead of hang
ing by the ties the little girl, thorough
ly frightened, held on by one of the
rails. Maria's right hand was ampu
tated and a part of her left hand had
to be cut off.
6r«wth lit Ihe title*.
Washington. Sept. 8. —The census
bureau has tabulated the returns from
54 cities. These show a population of
14,644,711. This Is an average increase
in population per city of 27.90 per cent.
The same cities in 1890 had a popula
tion of 11,150,045. making a total gain
of 3,494,666. The percentage of in
crease in IS9O was calculated on the
aggregate gain and not on the average
Increase per city, as is the case this
year. The result was that the percent
age of gain, according to the census
bureau officials, while appearing to be
larger, namely, 31.33, was not so in
fact, owing to the different method
followed in making the calculation.
